An Electronic Performance Support System is, according to Barry Raybould, "a computer-based system that improves worker productivity by providing on-the-job access to integrated information, advice, and learning experiences" (Raybould, 1991). Gloria Gery defines it as "an integrated electronic environment that is available to and easily accessible by each employee and is structured to provide immediate, individualized on-line access to the full range of information, software, guidance, advice and assistance, data, images, tools, and assessment and monitoring systems to permit job performance with minimal support and intervention by others." (Gery, 1989).
Electronic performance support systems are used for:
An electronic performance support system (EPSS) displays some or all of the following characteristics.
Computer-based: EPSSs are computer-based, which is what the "electronic" in their name indicates. There have been older attempts at performance support systems, such as a series of manuals, job aids, and other paper material. But it wasn't until the advent of powerful multimedia computers that optimal performance support could be made possible. Optimal support includes quick and easy access to the information needed at the time the task is being performed.
Access during task: EPSSs provide access to the discrete, specific information needed to perform a task at the time the task is to be performed. This is a two-part characteristic: 1) access to the specific information needed to perform a task, and 2) access to the information at the time the task is to be performed. If one part of this characteristic does not exist, then the characteristic changes and is no longer a performance support characteristic. The discrete, specific information provided may be:
This availability of information, instruction, advice and tools makes much prior training unnecessary.
Used on the job: An EPSS provides information to people at their workstation on the job, or in simulations or other practice of the job. The information is provided at the worker's workstation as the worker sees a need for it. The EPSS can be used in simulations or other practice of the job, so that the worker learns both the information he or she will probably need when doing the job, and how to use the EPSS itself.
Controlled by the worker: The worker decides when and what information is needed. There is no need for a teacher, as the worker is guided by the needs of the task. The motivation is provided by the worker's desire to accomplish the task.
Reduce the need for prior training: The easy availability of the information needed to perform a task reduces the need for much (but probably not all) prior training in order to accomplish the task.
Easily updated: The very nature of an EPSS, that it provides the information needed to perform a task, requires that it be easily updatable, in order to keep the information that it provides current. The computerized nature of an EPSS makes updating faster and easier in some ways than in other media, such as print, video, or audio.
Fast access to information: The user must be able to access the needed information quickly when it is needed on the job. Otherwise the EPSS is no better than a set of manuals, which probably contain the information, but the information is difficult to find when needed.
Irrelevant information not included: The user is able to access only the specific, discrete information needed at that instant, instead of having to wade through loads of irrelevant information to find the few details needed. This is one of the problems with instruction that is not specific to a task; it forces the user to sift through it looking for the details needed. This sifting not only slows the user down, but can result in confusion.
Allow for different levels of knowledge in users: In order to speed up information access and understanding, an EPSS can provide minimal information for those who do not want details, yet, through the hypertext links in the databases and through optional tutorials, provide detail for those who do want more.
Allow for different learning styles: Through multimedia, an EPSS can accommodate users with varied learning styles, thus providing more optimal learning. The same information can be presented in visual, textual, and audio formats, with the user selecting the format.
Integrate information, advice, and learning experiences: An EPSS can integrate information, advice, and learning experiences for the user. For example, a database entry might describe a procedure. The user may not know if the procedure is the proper one to use, so he or she might turn to the advisor to find out. The advisor would ask the user some questions about what he or she needs to accomplish, then would suggest which procedure to use. The user might then access a tutorial on using the procedure, and practice it through a simulation, before actually performing the procedure.
Artificial intelligence: Artificial intelligence is an essential characteristic of EPSSs, according to Carr (Carr, 1992), but not according to Gery. I think that at this early stage of performance support system design and use, AI is not essential, but that eventually it will be one of the defining characteristics of EPSS. This will happen when research on EPSS and on AI has progressed further.
An EPSS is not an absolute system that contains all these characteristics. Rather, different systems will fall on a continuum of these characteristics. An EPSS displaying all these characteristics would be the ideal. Since performance support systems are still young, it is more likely that many will display only the key characteristics.
The key characteristics of EPSS which make them different from other computerized instructions or tools are the first five that were described above:
It is my opinion that these key characteristics are the minimum a program must have in order to called an EPSS. It must be computerized, by definition ("electronic"). It must provide the specific information needed to perform a task, otherwise it would be no different from traditional training, which provides the information needed, but includes irrelevant data as well. It must provide the specific information when it is needed, otherwise there is no difference between it and traditional training, which provides the information, but not when it is needed. It must allow the learner to decide when information is needed, and to access it, otherwise it is no different from teacher-controlled traditional training. And finally, the program must reduce the need for prior training in order to accomplish the task, otherwise why have a performance support system at all?
Defining a range of technologies that could be classified as electronic performance support systems (EPSS) involves defining which and how many EPSS characteristics are necessary and are displayed, and how much of the design is new and how much is based on existing systems.
Perhaps the most important characteristics of an EPSS would be provided by the worker's environment. The work environment would have to allow the worker to decide when information and training is needed, and would have to provide the capability of the worker obtaining that information and training without outside intervention by supervisor or other staff. Management would have to expect the EPSS to provide the worker with certain training specific to job tasks, and thus would not provide that training elsewhere, nor expect the worker to obtain that training anywhere but from the EPSS.
EPSS characteristics have been described above. Let us now turn to an examination of the design of EPSSs.
The extent of the new design refers to how much of the design of the EPSS is new and how much is based on existing systems. According to Gery (Gery, 1993), the extent of the new design can be divided into four categories, listed here from least to most new design:
1) front end to existing system,
2) supplement to existing system,
3) stand-alone tool for specific tasks, and
4) new systems with integrated performance support.
Gery does not define these levels, since they were only mentioned in a brochure for a seminar, so I have added my own definitions to them.
Front end to existing system: Existing systems have usually not been designed for performance support. They may not allow non-linear hypertext links that improve ease of access to information, or may not allow easy updating of information. For this reason, designs that use existing systems are placed lower in the ranking than those that are designed specifically for electronic performance support.
A front end is an interface between a person and a software system. It helps the person to use the system, but it does not change the system itself, nor can it be used apart from the system. Microsoft Windows is a front end to the DOS operating system. It obviates the need for the user to remember DOS commands and syntax. A front end adds functionality to an existing system, but no additional information. It may act as a patch on a system that was not optimally designed for performance support.
Supplement to an existing system: A supplement to an existing system changes the existing system in some way. Hypertext links to a traditional database would be an example of a supplement to an existing system. Hypertext links allow a person to make non-linear connections between pieces of related information. It is like an electronic cross-referenced index, where the user decides what related information to look at next. Hypertext links in a database would permit the user to follow his or her interests in finding information in the database. A supplement may also act as a patch on a system not designed for performance support, although it does make changes within the existing system itself.
Stand-alone tools for specific tasks: Stand-alone tools for specific tasks are small EPSSs that are not built on existing systems, but are designed for narrow, specific tasks. A tutorial on how to use a computer program is an example of a stand-alone tool, since it can be used apart from the program itself, and supports only the use of that particular program.
New systems with integrated performance support: New systems with integrated performance support are designed with no reference to an existing system, and with performance support built in. They support a wide variety of job tasks, instead of narrow ones, as do the stand-alone tools described above. A new EPSS might provide the information, training and advice for all the tasks that a customer support representative would need in order to do his or her job.
In order to describe the range of technologies that could be classified as electronic performance support, both the EPSS characteristics and the extent of the design must be taken into account. This relationship is illustrated in the graph below.
A minimal EPSS would have the lowest extent of design, and would exhibit only the key EPSS characteristics, no matter if a higher extent or more additional characteristics were needed to support the task or tasks.
A mid-level EPSS would have a higher extent of design, and additional EPSS characteristics beyond the key characteristics, but would not have all the necessary characteristics needed to support the task or tasks.
An optimal EPSS would have the highest extent of design and all the EPSS characteristics needed to support the task or tasks. All the characteristics may not be necessary for optimum support. An optimal EPSS would have the all the characteristics needed, and no unneeded ones.
A minimal EPS system would be a front end
that contains only the key EPSS characteristics, is built onto
an existing system, does not change the existing system, and cannot
stand alone.
A mid-level EPSS would be a supplement to an existing system, and would contain not only the key EPSS characteristics, but additional ones as well. However, it would not contain all the EPSS characteristics needed to provide optimum support for the task or tasks.
An optimal EPSS would not be based on an
existing system, but would be designed specifically to contain
all the EPSS characteristics necessary to optimally support a
task or tasks.
There are many configurations of computer support that can be classified as electronic performance support systems, but they range from low level to optimal support. This description is a brief overview of the current state of the design of such systems.

This waste poses a real threat
The repeated statement that BTEX is not used for fracking in New Zealand is plainly false.
The Taranaki Regional Council's risk assessment report (Appendix I) includes two fracking products (Wax-chek 5222 and Halliburton WAC-12L) containing Ethyl benzene and Xylene. The 67 products in the appendix include numerous other hazardous chemicals.
A United States risk assessment describes three of them - glutaraldehyde, 2,2-dibromo-3- nitrilopropionamide (DBNPA) and ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (2-BE) - as "dangerous at concentrations near or below their chemical detection limits" (gasdrillingtechnotes.org).
Glutaraldehyde is a potent respiratory toxin and mutagen active at minute concentrations of parts-per-billion (ppb).
DBNPA is a respiratory and skin toxin, lethal to rainbow trout at 40-50 ppb and to oysters at concentrations well below the limit of detection.
2-BE, easily absorbed through the skin, is toxic to red blood cells and is an endocrine disruptor at extremely low levels, affecting the ovaries and adrenal glands. These chemicals are widely used in drilling, not only fracking.
Now, to help STOS clean up their Kapuni sites, our councils allow them to spread tonnes of contaminated soil on to so-called 'landfarms' where cows will graze and supposedly 'bioremediate' the soil. Mind you, TRC did analyse soil samples at the Brown Rd landfarm for chloride, conductivity, hydrocarbons, sodium and total soluble salts. But what about 2-BE and numerous other toxic chemicals used in drilling? It is utterly irresponsible to risk contaminating our food/ milk-producing land and drinking water supply by allowing discharge of waste products from the oil and gas industry into or near them.

Sixty years ago, my grandfather was writing articles for magazines like Canadian Business and Saturday Night magazine. Here's an excerpt from a 1947 article titled "It gives Steaks a Lift!" - a report on the new miracle flavour enhancer, monosodium glutamate:
"... It is not likely that M.S.G. will become a standard household commodity. For one thing, it is still expensive. For another, the average family does not consume enough separate foods to warrant paying any special attention to the individual flavors.
But where food is prepared for a couple of hundred people at a time, and where numerous vegetables and seasoning agents go into each dish, M.S.G. is a decided asset. And even the housewife may eventually adopt it in some small measure ..."
I have three observations:
- Oh, to have been a public relations man in a time when every new chemical was seen as a testament to the ingenuity of mankind;
- "the average family does not consume enough separate foods" reflects the post-war diet, restricted by rations - and does not imagine a diet overwhelmed by fusion foods; and
- the explicit belief that corporations are trustworthy and always working to better the lives of families and housewives - certainly not the case today, is it?

Treatment For Panic AttacksGet the panic disorder symptoms solution
If you`ve experienced panic attacks, you are probably eager to get rid of it so you can get back to your normal self. Treatment for panic attacks are available, it is just a matter of finding the right one for you as most suggested treatments need your participation and help to get yourself better. For light panic attacks cases, you can actually do your own self-care at home, however for extreme cases which has a chance of being a panic disorder, many would advice medical treatment.
Treatment for panic attacks on your own is possible though you have to be sure not to mistake it for other serious illnesses such as a heart attack. Many actually have rushed to the doctors mistaking a panic attack and a heart attack for each other so you should really learn how to be able to make the distinction between the two. If you are someone who has already been diagnosed with a panic attack before and is familiar with all the signs and symptoms, then you may be able to treat yourself at home. On the other hand, if you have no idea if you are experiencing a panic attack or some other illness, then it is best to seek medical help.
For those who are familiar with panic attacks, these techniques are home treatment for panic attacks. First, you should relax your shoulders and be aware of the tension that you are feeling in your muscles. Then, gently tense and relax all the major muscle groups in your body. Alternate each leg and tighten them while breathing deeply at the same time. After, slow down your breathing and place your hands in your stomach to feel your breathing. This will allow the symptoms you are feeling to fade away. Most importantly tell yourself that you are not going crazy and you are not dying. This technique can be done when you start feeling the signs of a panic attack, it will help you get through the attack in a calm manner.
Now for those who aren`t familiar with panic attacks and think you might have experienced one, home treatment is not for you. It is best that you visit the doctor first and make sure to rule out any other serious illness that can be linked to panic attacks. Treatment for panic attacks in severe cases usually includes therapy and medication which are what doctors recommend for panic attacks.
Another treatment that just recently emerged in the market is called Panic Away, a program that is considered the most powerful method for eliminating panic attacks and general anxiety. This program is great as it teaches people the ability to immediately stop fearing another panic attack by the use of a One Move Technique. What`s even more amazing is that this program cures without the use of any medication or therapy. The goal of Panic Away is getting you back to your former self right away. With Panic Away, your anxiety will vanish, your confidence will soar, and the results will last a lifetime.

Mumbai: Indian state-run power equipment maker Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) has won a contract for two gas turbines generating units worth Rs1.4 billion ($32 million) from the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
"The order, from International Energy Resources, is for two units of 42 MW each," BHEL said in a statement.
"Middle East is one of BHEL's key export regions, besides being one of the fastest growing markets for power generating equipment globally," it said.
"The company has set up 14 power projects so far in the Middle East region, apart from supplying equipment for the Power and Oil and Gas sectors in the region," it said. Shares in BHEL were up 0.8% at Rs1,702 in a weaker Mumbai market.

Please use the form above to request admissions info for Salem State College.
Businesses of all types have a profound need for talented software specialists. Programmers often start out with a bachelor's degree in computer science or software engineering, followed by intensive on-the-job training. Computer science (CS) degree programs may cover diverse programming languages, depending on the application involved. For example, the C# language combines the robustness of C++ with the advanced features of JAVA programming. The C# language is most easily compiled within Visual Studio IDE, a rapid-development platform. If you are writing a web-based application in ASP.NET, you will be required to code in C# or Visual Basic for the backend.
Software developers also need skills related to the industry in which they work. Developers working in a bank, for example, should have knowledge of finance so that they can understand a bank's computing needs. On the other hand, the JAVA language may be used to develop enterprise-level applications and accelerate the design of video games or iOS/Android mobile apps. By way of comparison, some large websites that make use of the Python language include Pinterest and Instagram. In fact, many CS students gain hands-on experience in software development by completing a business internship at a software company while still in college. The median annual wage for computer programmers was $90,530 in May 2017. Beyond major requirements within the computer programming department, you may consider Beaufort County Community College GED exams as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

Thanks to extra virgin olive oil and chamomile, the foot cream assists the disappearance of callouses, offers comfort and maintains the feet soft and clean. Massage slightly with this carefully chosen natural river rock that assists the exfoilation of dead cells and with the special made olive oil soap that contains olive leaves for about 5-6 minutes. Then apply the foot care cream that is easily absorbed and fade away any signs of exhaustion. The results are impressive. 10 fl oz / 280 gr

In its continuing effort to be the global leader in food processing, the OSI Group announced it has acquired Baho Food. Baho Food, the Netherlands largest food processor, produces and distributes delicatessen meats and snack foods. The Aurora, Illinois-based global food processing giant did not reveal terms of the Baho Food acquisition.
The OSI Group provides a vast array of food products, and services to the food service and retail sectors. OSI Group has over 60 production and distribution facilities worldwide. OSI group has been the recipient of numerous awards acknowledging its commitment to job safety and workplace environmental concerns.
The deal with Baho Food requires European regulatory agency review and approval. It strengths the OSI Group's position as the leader in food processing ad distribution services in Europe. OSI Group President and COO, David McDonald, commenting on the Baho Food acquisition, "The company's portfolio of products and brands complements OSI's current processing strengths while broadening our capabilities to best serve the evolving needs of our customers." The acquisition brings Baho subsidiaries Q Smart Life, Henri van de Bilt, Gelderland Frischwaren, Vital Convenience, and Bakx Foods under the OSI Group banner.
In addition to the Baho Food merger, the OSI Group added to its production capabilities with the purchase of the Tyson Foods Chicago, Illinois food processing plant. The 200,000 square processing plant produced a diverse selection of meals and foods for the hospitality sector. An OSI Group spokesperson indicated the former Tyson Foods plant provides the needed infrastructure and fits well with OSI Group's strategic growth strategies for the future. It did not elaborate on what foods would be processed at the facility.

The Tangible Tracking Table (TTT) is an interactive tabletop display that allows both fingertip and tangible object tracking. Multiple users can simultaneously control a variety of tagged objects that can perform different tasks. At the same time, users can employ their fingertips for more subtle manipulations. TTT can support a range of digital media applications in collaborative settings, such as meeting rooms, classrooms and living rooms. Applications under development include games and storytelling engines, as well as a stage manager for machinima creation. The TTT project includes the construction of the table and adapted software APIs based on the ReacTIVision toolkit for user-end application development. The TTT intends to be:
To explore more functional possibilities, the first prototype (TTT I) adopted two popular technologies that are used in many multitouch displays today, the "Frustrated Total Internal Reflection" (FTIR) and the "Diffused Illumination" (DI) approaches. The second table (TTT II) uses DI and installs two mirrors to increase the display and interaction surface to 55 inches.

Waxing Crescent Moon
I was curious about going to Sedgwick CO today. I had seen a TV show before I left home about Colorado's newish law permitting the recreational use of marijuana. According to the program, Sedgwick's dispensary was doing a booming business in bud for bongs. Naturally, the Sedgwick County Sheriff was none too happy about the whole thing. Just one more thing to deal with for law enforcement officers.
Personally, I don't care about pot. I decided a long time ago that I didn't need any of that external stuff to be happy. So no dope, no alcohol, no gurus, no cigarettes, none of that for me. Happiest decision of what is getting to be a long, happy life.
When I started walking today on Hwy 138 from Julesburg, I wondered if I would see any signs of a different culture. I was out of Nebraska corn country. The wheat harvest was on in this part of Colorado. Would I see stoners creeping along the highway gripping the wheel at twenty miles per hour? Would farmers be falling out of their combines laughing hysterically? Would discarded Dorito bags outnumber Bud Lite cans in the roadside ditches? Would there be talking horses?
Nah. None of that stuff. However, Mary Ellen from Julesburg pulled over to say hi just before I got to Ovid.
Mary Ellen was about the nicest person on Earth on July 7, 2016. She asked me all about REACH Across America and where I was going and where I have been. She asked about Bobalooie and Palomino and she told me about a good place to eat in Ovid.
When I told her about my plan to rent a room at the Sedgwick Antique Inn tonight, she pulled out her phone, called them up, and paid for my room AND dinner, too! What??? How nice can one complete stranger get?
In Ovid, Mary Ellen had a little competition in the niceness sweepstakes in the form of Denise, the Postmaster. I went into the P.O. to buy some stamps. Before I knew what was happening, she laid a ten dollar bill on me for lunch at Big B's right next door. Incredible!
Lunch was tremendous. What I really wanted to do next was to find a big shade tree and go to sleep for the rest of the day. But instead, I hit the road. And the more I walked, the nastier the sky looked over Sedgwick. Uh oh, spaghetti-o.
I kept cranking until about 4:30, entering Sedgwick with just a few drops of rain hitting the ground. My good 7-7-16 luck held up.
Right across the street from the Sedgwick Antique Inn is the dope dispensary, marked with a big green cross and a sign that says "Sedgwick Alternative Relief."
Think about it. If your life amounts to something you need relief from, why not just change your life to something that is more pleasant? Something that is really, authentically you. Maybe the medicine you needed was right there inside you all the time.
Peace, Love, and Independence,

WLW Related Post Plugin - Preview Part 3
List Management Day went well... There's now a simple Feed/Post Source (i.e. OPML) management in the plugin. I've been testing it with my OPML file and it performs well.
It supports adding and deleting of groups and feeds, drag-n-drop organization, has pretty bitmaps, etc.
One issue I ran into was the the My.Blog OPML implement seems to require that all feeds be in a group. Since I didn't feel like dealing with that, I built in a requirement that all feeds be in a group. For example, if you add a new feed, but don't have one selected, a "Subscriptions" group gets auto-magically created and the feed put there.
The normal setup will include a default OPML file (with my blog in it ;), but you can easily select another.
In any case, it's pretty darn close to beta release'able, so once I get the word from work & CodePlex I'll post it...

Act of Will
A.J. Hartley
Tor Books
March 3 2009
Act of Will is a boisterous fantasy adventure that introduces us to Will Hawthorne, a medieval actor and playwright who flees the authorities only to find himself inextricably bound to a group of high-minded adventurers on a deadly mission. Will travels with them to a distant land where they are charged with the investigation and defeat of a ruthless army of mystical horsemen, who appear out of the mist leaving death and devastation in their wake.
In the course of Will's uneasy alliance with his new protectors, he has to get his pragmatic mind to accept selfless heroism (which he thinks is absurd) and magic (which he doesn't believe in). Will must eventually decide where his loyalties really lie and how much he is prepared to do–and believe–to stand up for them.

text: Our customers are thrilled by the service that we provide and are happy to tell us. At SDI, we pride ourselves on creating and delivering the most engaging and up-to-date courses around. Don't just take their word for it, if you would like to experience SDI Training for yourselves, take a look at what we have to offer and find a course that suits your needs Michael Bowditch, Service Desk Manager, UK Shared Business Services Ltd – Service Desk Manager Course – April 2017 Briefly describe your experience I really enjoyed the course and learnt a great deal from it. The trainer (Carla Thornley) was excellent and she taught me a lot and made it all make sense by using examples from her working life to help me. I am new to service desk management and she has helped me grow a lot in the role and I will be forever grateful. I could not praise her enough and I hope she gets this passed on to her! Did you get what you wanted out of this course? When being booked on the course I was unsure what I would get out of it but I gained a lot more than I could have imagined. I don't think there is anything else that could have made the course any better and I would like to thank everyone involved for the help they have given me. In the future I would like to get the whole team on the analyst course. What were the benefits of doing a public course? The fact that there was a few other like-minded people on the course really helped and we gelled very well and shared our experiences. We had a small group of 4 which possibly helped with the learning. How does / will this service desk training benefit you? I have started using the new skills on the desk and it's really improving things and the way I deal with problems. It has taught me how to get the team working better and to be able to monitor workloads in many different ways to improve our service. Kiran Sehemby, Senior Support Desk Analyst, ESOS Ltd – Senior Analyst to Team Leader Workshop – May 2017 Briefly describe your experience It was very useful meeting other service desks and listening to their experiences. The trainer, Susan Storey, was great, so helpful and I got a clear understanding of ideas and how we should implement things for the team. Susan was happy to answer any queries and gave great responses. The team building exercises were brilliant, as we will be implementing them into our Support Desk. Did you get what you wanted out of this course? 100% – it was a very useful course. What were the benefits of doing a public course? Meeting other Support Desks and discussing ideas, going through how to improve the team. How does / will this service desk training benefit you? We are currently taking part in the SDI accreditation and I was able to go back and provide new ideas to my Manager for the Team. Susan was a great teacher. Insightful, knowledgeable and enthusiastic! Haaris Mohammed, Principle Technical Support Analyst, LSBU Susan was very knowledgeable in all aspects of the course and presented it very well Chris Mills, Senior Team Lead, Veolia A wonderfully passionate & enthusiastic presentation, personality and execution of the course. I will implement much of what I've learnt and use it to encourage my team. Stephen Alexander, Service Desk Analyst, Audatex I enjoyed Susan's delivery, it made the course very enjoyable. John Mackey, IT Service Delivery Analyst, Aggreko (UK) Ltd) I was pleasantly surprised as to how well the training course was whilst at the SDI training centre. The trainer Sue Storey was fantastic and definitely kept us engaged throughout the training course. The quality of the information delivered out to us was very informational, direct and straight to the point with good explanations. I would not hesitate in coming back for further training course if the opportunity was to arise. I came to the course with an open mind and thought to myself I would pick up as much information as possible. The course was very informative and actually did deliver on the promises beforehand. It gave a good insight into what management is and what the inner workings would be.' It is definitely a lot more engaging doing a public course. We were also able to come away with different ideas from different people in very different industries and organisations. This has benefited me because we are in the process off attempting to implement SDI methodologies, hopefully with a strong ITIL framework for us to run our service desk/support centre. Rahul Chauhan, Service Desk Team Leader, Next The course is informative, interesting and fun. The trainer, in this case was full of real life experience which brought the subject matter to life. I learned tons of theory, which I have been putting into practice. I have found the handbook issued during the course an invaluable reference guide and find myself reaching for it often. Not only that I've got a shiny badge (I passed!!!) to wear on my lapel now, I do love a bit of bling. For me it's really important to meet peers form other organisations, to swap ideas and experiences, so attending a public course is vital to keeping ideas fresh back at "the Ranch" I've already put some of the ideas into practice that I picked up from the course, (the Comms Plan) and as a Manager you tend to spend so much time thinking about developing other, that you tend to forget about your own needs. As soon as I got back I engaged with a member of senior Management to ask if they would be my "career Coach". Happily they agreed and I'm having regular meetings to looking into how to develop my own talents and skills. I'd just like to leave some feedback about Ken Goff. Ken made the whole course come alive with his life and business experience. He is a natural orator and entertainer. He is engaging and informative, and what he has forgotten about ITSM is really not worth knowing, in terms of delivering the content he was brilliant. I still think about the stories of "The Pru", when thinking about particular issues in my own organisation. It's a bit "WWKD" (What would Ken do?) Louise Potts, Service Desk Team Leader, Babcock International Group I am a Service Desk team leader and have worked on the Service Desk for seven years. The course gave me good practical knowledge on Service Desk Management as well a qualification upon successful completion of the exam taken. Working with other like-minded colleagues from similar and different environments was brilliant. It was great hearing their stories of how things run in their organisations. We can all learn from each other and I certainly took away ideas to implement back where I work. The course increased my knowledge of the Service Desk, Function and operations, Leadership and management techniques, Networking, increased confidence in Service Desk team leadership and management and Strategic planning.' Craig Robson, Incident & Change Manager, University of Portsmouth 'Our operations is different from a regular call-center and part of the training was not applicable to our workflows. Still, the goal was to expand the overall view of the support service and this was achieved. In-house training to 10+ people is economically reasonable for us. This is the reason we chose that option. The feedback from my team was very positive and even if the training was intense they really enjoyed it. Therefore, a big "Thank you!" to Lynne Nash. Hopefully the mindset of the people who participated in the training will change and they will bring new ideas and improvements to the overall support process. The customer satisfaction should grow with that and our quality improves. Teet Saar, Tech Support Manager, Playtech Jo Johns was a fantastic tutor and very knowledgeable about all things SDI, it opened my eyes and I made some great contacts from other professionals like myself. Daniel Liot, Assistant Manager, Standard Bank Offshore Just spent a very valuable two days at SDI in Orpington, Kent on the Senior Analyst to Team Leader course. I would like to thank our trainer Sally for her energy, enthusiasm and wisdom and all the other people on the course. Everyone shared great insights and I would highly recommend this course. Lee Stewart, Senior Service Analyst, Babcock International Group It was great to receive the good news (provisionally), but the biggest thing I take from this is the benchmark of where we are and how we can proceed further. Your helpful suggestions for how we can progress have all been noted and I spent the weekend looking at these ideas, and importantly, where I am delegating these. One striking thing that hit me over the weekend, 18 months ago I took on this role knowing very little about a Service Desk, let alone how a Service Desk should run, the past 18 months have been a very steep learning curve and a lot of hard work, but Friday made it all worthwhile. Hearing the positive comments about me from my Team was also nice to hear, especially in light of the volume of change we've went through. It hasn't always been easy, but I am lucky to have a Team of good people. Having spoken with Team Members on Friday afternoon, and more so this morning, it's clear that as a Team we have gained more than just an audit outcome. One of the big-wins has been the recognition it gives us – it's an easy job to do, but a hard job to do well!! It was especially noticeable that nobody came in this morning with a 'Monday Morning' look about them 🙂 (which is a look some still have on a Thursday….) Of course, now that I'm delegating, that probably won't last 🙂 Paul Turner, NHS Lothian

What's Next
Congratulations! You have made the best and most important decision of your life by making Jesus Christ your Lord. Although you may not feel like it, you are now a new person. The Holy Spirit has come into your heart to be your helper and guide. The Bible says you are now God's child. Along with eternal life, you will find peace, joy, forgiveness, healing, prosperity and many more blessings as a child of God.
Now that you've given your life to Jesus Christ, you may be asking, "What's next?"
Here are some instructions to help you start your new life:
- Tell someone
The Bible says in Romans 10:9-10 if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Telling someone else about your decision to follow Christ, is important because speaking it with you mouth makes it more real to you and causes it to be more solid in your heart.
- Get a Bible
The Bible is God's Word to you. Read it! The New Testament book of John is a great place to start.
- Pray
Prayer is an important part of your Christian walk. The word prayer just means communicating with God. Talk to him. He is always ready to listen to you, and He cares about what you care about.
- Find a Bible-believing church
By going to church, you will hear the Bible being taught, and that will help you understand it. You will get to know the Lord better and connect with other Christians.
If you received Christ as your Savior as a result of this ministry, please contact us at email@example.com. We'd love to hear about it.

DU student masturbated on, shares her traumatic experience on Facebook
Published : 15 Mar 2017, 03:03
For most Delhi University (DU) students, college fests are all about bringing home some unforgettable memories and experiences. However, Meghna Singh, a Miranda House student who attended the Shri Ram College of Commerce fest Crossroads, brought back semen on her jeans and an experience she'd rather forget.
"I came home and changed out of my jeans only to see semen stains on it. And then I realised, that the guy who had been feeling me up from behind during KK's performance had jerked off on me," says Singh, a B A (Hons) History student at the college. A public picture of her stained jeans, uploaded 15 hours ago on her Facebook profile, now has over 1.9K likes.
Recounting the incident, Singh shares that she and her two friends initially dismissed the touches, thinking they were unintentional. "It was really crowded so I assumed that it may have been unintentional. It' not the kind of thing that you would expect to happen at a college fest," she explains. An odd odour, she adds, confirmed her suspicions. "When he touched me again, I turned around and pushed him away, asking him to back off. Scared that I would create a scene, he abruptly left the place. Since it was too dark, I didn't realise he had jerked off on me."
The picture of Singh's stained jeans has sparked a debate on social media platforms. While some are expressing outrage and empathy, others are questioning the authenticity of the incident. "I had someone tell me that it could be shreekhand (sweetend curd). Really? People can't accept a girl standing up for herself. Chemical analysis and forensic test karwana chahte hain log mujhse," she retorts. "I know it's hard to believe that these students who are educated and pursuing higher education can stoop so low. But what will I get by making all this up and putting it on a social platform?"
The backlash, she says, doesn't bother her. "A lot of girls also commented saying that they have been through the same at some point, and I wonder why they never said something about it. If you don't make people aware of what goes on around them, things will never change," she says.

Israel Dagg joins growing list of All Blacks spurning northern hemisphere riches
OPINION: Israel Dagg's refusal to move overseas has enabled Steve Hansen to quietly go about his task of amassing a large stockpile of test players ahead of the 2019 World Cup.
Barring the players suffering injury or form fluctuations, something Dagg experienced prior to being cut from the World Cup squad for the tournament in Britain in 2015, All Blacks coach Hansen, who is contracted with New Zealand Rugby through to 2019, already has a register of battle-hardened men to choose from ahead of the global tournament in Japan.
Dagg's decision to ignore what was likely to have been multi-million dollar contracts offered by Irish club Leinster and French side Toulon, and sign with NZ Rugby until 2019, has guaranteed at least 11 key All Blacks will remain in New Zealand through to the next World Cup.
Last week Ben Smith confirmed he will stay until 2020, although there is an option of exercising an out-clause after 2019.
* Dagg stays in NZ
* MacDonald optimistic Dagg will stay
* Ben Smith: "They are the boss aren't they?"
* Ben Smith sidesteps French riches
* Ben Smith expecting a second baby
* McCaw: I got lucky under old tackle rules
* All Blacks will scout Six Nations from home
Others signed through to until the World Cup are Beauden Barrett, Dane Coles, Owen Franks, Nehe Milner-Skudder, Joe Moody, Brodie Retallick, Julian Savea, Aaron Smith, Sonny Bill Williams and now Dagg.
It goes without saying that it remains a priority for NZ Rugby to lock All Blacks captain Kieran Read into a deal through to 2019. Read, whose contract expires this year, has already indicated he is aiming to remain in New Zealand.
Among those who are also on NZ Rugby's hot list of candidates to extend their stay are lock Sam Whitelock and openside flanker Sam Cane - both men's contracts are up for negotiation.
Of all the players who have chosen to stay until 2019, Dagg, 28, has arguably elected to take the biggest risk.
In addition to competing with Ben Smith for a placement at fullback, Dagg must battle Nehe Milner-Skudder for job on the right wing if Julian Savea or Waisake Naholo can prove consistent enough with their performances to warrant automatic selection on the left flank.
Last year the absence of Milner-Skudder because of a serious shoulder injury suffered in the early rounds of Super Rugby, and a paucity of form by Savea, enabled Dagg to force his way back into the test team.
His determination and performances were admirable.
Far from being washed-up, a scenario that seemed quite possible when he was overlooked for the 2015 World Cup squad, Dagg earned the right to have his name lodged below Smith's when names were being scribbled down for the Rugby Championship and northern tour.
First five-eighth Aaron Cruden will join French club Montpellier after Super Rugby, while tighthead prop Charlie Faumuina has confirmed he will link with French side Toulouse. Both hope to be considered for the All Blacks squad selected to play the British and Irish Lions when they tour this winter.
All Blacks coach Hansen is also ready building a succession plan to build depth in both positions. Of the two it is tighthead which creates more concern. Behind incumbent rock Owen Franks, the candidates are not experienced. Ofa Tu'ungafasi, who appeared in four tests last year, is a work in progress. Nepo Laulala, who didn't play last year because of injury, earned four caps as a replacement in 2015 and showed considerable promise.
Beauden Barrett is the top-ranked playmaker in the country, with Lima Sopoaga and Damian McKenzie competing for the backup role.
Sopoaga, the preferred starter at No 10 for the Highlanders in recent years, is contracted to NZ Rugby until 2018. So is McKenzie, but he has been a regular starter at fullback for the Chiefs to accommodate team-mates Cruden.
First-five is the position the All Blacks selectors believe suits McKenzie best. This is a call for Chiefs coach Dave Rennie, who will coach in Scotland after Super Rugby, to make. McKenzie and the national selectors may have to be patient.

Legislation has been passed that will finally give a regulator the power to crack down on companies slugging consumers with surcharges 1,000 per cent above the cost of processing credit card payments.
Tagged With credit card
Did you know that only about 30 per cent of Australians travel abroad each year? Beat the odds, get a passport and go see the world. It's easier than you might think. Here's our starter guide for the new traveller.
Credit card companies often strip your details from their records and then share it with third parties, claiming that it's anonymised. But a new study from MIT reveals that analysis of just four purchases made on your card can identify you with more than 90 per cent accuracy, even when your details are removed.
Card skimmers are getting way more common, to the point that they've even started appearing on point-of-sale card machines. And, boy, if this thing is anything to go by, they're getting better and better.
Foursquare and American Express supposedly inked a deal that offers discounts to Amex card holders in stores like Sports Authority and NYC restaurants like the Union Square Cafe. This is just an early trial and limited in scope, but the discounts are impressive. I'm not a big Foursquare user but I would use it more if got a $US20 credit each time I spent $US50 at Sports Authority.
