Hello all!
Due to a recent change in process within a business area the need to mass recruit (10+) each month has dissolved. With this change a classroom based Induction is now not cost effective, or of much use as was built for large groups and not the 2 people per quarter this area forecasts it will need.
I am researching alternative solutions for induction that do not require facilitation as the SLA in this company is 1 trainer to 6 delegates.
What methods do you use to induct new staff when recruited 1 at a time? How affective do you and your new staff find it? Any horror or success stories would be great. So far I have been researching workbooks, online resource libraries, e-learning, classroom training with other areas that are still using that method, job shadowing/buddy work and watching DVD's. Any other ideas would be very greatly received.
Thanks for your time

When it comes to learning the technical aspects of the role you may wish to create an indexed checklist for all of the skills that are to be trained. You can then place your new starters with product trainers/mentors, ticking off each process as they go along. This will give the learner a sense of direction as they continue their technical training.

Hi Emma!
This is always a Hot Topic.
There's always one thing that you have to do when hiring new staff – make them feel that they want to stay! This is often a forgotten element! If you can cover all your information, and make that person feel like they have made the right decision then your off to a good start.
Just because you only have two people starting at the same time, doesn't mean that they are not individually important.
Introductions and a tour are vital, even if you think that person might not work closely with another, introduce everyone on your tour, Fire exits here also etc.
E-Learning inductions can be great if done right! A system that may be of good use to you is one called Epiance (Epiplex 500) which is an authoring e-learning training system, the difference with this is that you need no IT people to design your Induction on it and it can be used by any number of people in your company for a one off cost of about 3-5K (maybe less as they can be flexible). It can then be used for further systems training and information gathering throughout the whole of the training department, and company – it's easy to use as it's data capture, and automatically turns your info into instructions or workbooks etc. – It's worth a look anyway! It also tests and records the information that people have went through – in turn recording that they have been through an induction!!
So evidence of going through an induction is an important thing then developing a e-learning system could be your answer.
Hi Emma
One at a time new starters consume more time and effort than group induction but it's still vital to do it well. My approach has several layers to it:
- an induction plan with dates, times, people who will be involved and topics they will cover
- a simple powerpoint presentation about the organisation that they can watch alone
- an induction pack that includes relevant info about their office, team, terms and conditions etc etc
- structured meetings with line manager to explore and dicument training needs
- each stage of the induction "signed off" by employee and line manager
The more people that are involved, the less onerous it is but you also have to make sure that everyone is playing their part!
Contact me direct if you would like to explore further.
good luck!

Day Early Learning Centers
For more than 100 years, Early Learning Indiana was known as Day Nursery. Under that name, we spent more than a century building a reputation as Central Indiana's standard-bearer for excellent child care. In 2014, Day Nursery changed its name to Early Learning Indiana, and our early childhood centers became known as Day Early Learning centers.
As Early Learning Indiana, our goal is to continue our tradition of being the area's best source for child care services and resources, while embracing a larger role as an advocate and leading voice for early childhood education in Indiana. Our mission every day is to assure the highest quality early childhood education for children in Indiana.
Ideas and practices about child care have changed a great deal in the past one hundred years. Today, child care is about developmentally-appropriate learning for all ages, starting at infancy and carrying through to kindergarten age. At our Day Early Learning centers we care for and educate children ages 6 weeks through 6 years, all day, year round.

We set our standards high.
Early Learning Indiana provides excellent care and education at its eight state-licensed and nationally accredited child care, preschool and pre-K centers in central Indiana, as well as two pre-K programs in Indianapolis charter schools. Seven of our ten centers are rated a level 4, the highest level on Indiana's Paths to QUALITY* rating scale, the other three are at level 3 and will reach level 4 in the next year. They are too new to qualify for the national accreditation that comes with level 4. Learn more.
We prepare your child for success.
Early education is a critical part of young children's development and research shows it not only prepares children for kindergarten, but for a successful future of life-long learning. The program's major focus is the development of the individual child and we take an activity-based approach to preparing kids for kindergarten. Along with cognitive growth, attention is paid to the child's social, emotional and physical growth, with opportunities for each child to explore and learn. Learn more about our curriculum and outcomes.
We support parent involvement.
Day Early Learning conducts parent/teacher conferences, encourages parental visits and participation, and provides resources for parents. Day Early Learning centers also use the parent communication and record-keeping tool LifeCubby, an app that allows parents access to information about their individual child's meals, diaper changes, naptime, and educational activities the kids are engaged in. Learn more.
We Make early education affordable.
Early Learning Indiana provides low-to-moderate income parents the advantage of quality care and early education at an affordable price. Day Early Learning centers accept Child Care Development Vouchers (CCDF) and thanks to generous financial support from donors, Early Learning Indiana provides tuition scholarships to income-eligible parents through Early Learning Indiana's Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). Learn more.
We employ PROFESSIONAL STAFF.
Day Early Learning centers are staffed by certified instructors. All full-time teachers have a college degree or the Child Development Associate (CDA) credential. Early Learning Indiana also supports its teaching staff by offering generous tuition assistance for early childhood courses and encourages all staff to pursue further education for personal fulfillment and career development.
*Paths to QUALITY™ is Indiana's statewide rating system for early care and education programs. It is a free resource to help families make informed decisions and to help early care and education providers improve the quality of their programs.

SPORTS equipment from the Commonwealth Games will be distributed to communities around Scotland after the event in Glasgow finishes this summer.
Clubs, schools, councils and governing bodies will receive items ranging from rugby balls, netballs and shuttlecocks to whistles, stop watches and more.
Larger items of equipment from seven of the sports in the Games programme such as athletics starting blocks, boxing training rings and table tennis tables will also be available, and will be allocated through an application process.
Loading article content
All 32 of Scotland's local authorities will be given an allocation of equipment through the Glasgow 2014 legacy plan.
The national agency for sport, sportscotland, is managing the process in partnership with the Glasgow 2014 organising committee.
Stewart Harris, chief executive of sportscotland, said: "Glasgow 2014 offers sportscotland a fantastic opportunity to accelerate our plans towards developing a world-class sporting system at all levels. We are making enormous strides in realising that ambition."
An application process is now open to allocate the limited number of larger items from aquatics, athletics, boxing, rugby, shooting, table tennis and wrestling.
Glasgow 2014 chief executive David Grevemberg said:"It is fantastic that following the Games selected sports equipment, which has been used on the field of play by the elite athletes of the Commonwealth, will make its way into schools to leave a sporting legacy for communities across Scotland."
The announcement comes during legacy week (June 9 to 13) which has seen people, communities and organisations across Scotland highlight the legacy of the Commonwealth Games.
Commonwealth Games and Sport Secretary Shona Robison said: "Delivering a lasting legacy of a healthier and happier Scotland is fundamental to the Commonwealth Games."


text: Kinshasa - Cholera has claimed 153 lives out of 2 787 cases in the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo and the provinces, Doctors without Borders (MSF) said on Friday, warning of an epidemic.The previous death toll, given by the health ministry on Tuesday, was of 75 among 1 268 cases registered since June in Kinshasa and two provinces in the northwest, all bordering on the Congo river.No health ministry source was available on Friday to comment on the toll given by MSF (Medecins Sans Frontieres), an international non-governmental organisation which is working in conjunction with health authorities.MSF said that the outbreak began in March in the north-eastern city of Kisangani, also on the river, and soon spread westwards, with the first cases reported in Kinshasa on June 20."If the epidemic spreads in Kinshasa, where the port daily handles thousands of navigation operations upstream and downstream, the consequences for the population of the capital will be disastrous," MSF co-ordinator Luis Encinas said in a statement."That is why it is vital immediately to take important preventive steps, to diagnose rapidly, to control transmission [of the disease] and to treat people affected by the illness," Encinas added.MSF, working alongside the health ministry to target the zones the most affected by the outbreak, said it has opened several cholera treatment centres in a bid to stop the disease spreading."All the conditions are there for an epidemic to erupt, this is extremely worrying," warned Laurence Sailly, deputy medical coordinator of MSF in the DRC, also quoted in the statement.Cholera is a highly contagious intestinal infection which can kill if not treated properly. The outbreak comes on top of a measles epidemic in several provinces of the vast country, where the health infrastructure has been devastated by decades of neglect and conflict.

Resting before a vocal performance is key, but environmental things, like being in a place where the decibel level is too high, can adversely affect your capacity to sing.
What makes a great vocal performance? There are many answers to that, and they don't all require being the most technically gifted singer with a five-octave range. Confidence, charisma, and the right repertoire are among the many subjective elements that go into any great performance – live or when recording vocals in a studio – in addition to having chops as a singer.
"'Synthesis' is this fancy word we throw around in our college," says Daniel Ebbers, Associate Professor of Voice at the Conservatory of Music of the University of the Pacific, "and I do think it's an important thing. We study all these things individually, but it's the synthesis, a command of your vocal instrument, a command of the stage, a command of the language and the language you use – all these things synthesized together make a great vocal performance."
Of course, much of what helps a performer reach the point where all these elements come together is preparation, practice, and experience. A good vocal warm up, and general vocal care, can help ensure peak vocal performance.

There's no question that the winter months can wreck havoc on your skin, but if you start using these skin-saving tips now, you'll be in the clear when winter hits full-on.
Exfoliate. This is the key to revealing a healthy glow for both your body and your face. No matter how much moisture you give your skin, it can't penetrate though dead cells. Chemical peels improve texture using a chemical solution that causes dead skin to peel off. Peels can improve acne prone skin, discoloration, fine lines and wrinkles and even mild rosacea. The end goal of all chemical peels is the same, to leave the skin regenerated, smoother and with a dewy, youthful glow.
Wear SPF. Just because it's cold out doesn't mean the sun's rays aren't. Over time, sun exposure contributes to dryness and loss of elasticity. So remember to apply SPF daily, no matter the weather.
Stay Hydrated. To prevent dry winter skin, it's vital to protect cellular water levels. Many are surprised to learn that caffeine and alcohol are major causes of dehydration, so try and limit your intake. Choose decaffeinated coffee and alternate water with cocktails to make sure your body is hydrated.
Switch up your skin care. You may need to adjust your skin-care regimen a bit during the winter months. Make sure to use a mild cleanser that's non-drying with lactic acid and enzymes. And don't skimp on the toner – a toner can help alleviate some dryness since it acts as an oil stimulant and helps get the sebaceous glands going. You'll want to incorporate a serum too. Serums are able to penetrate deeper than a moisturizer, which usually helps more on the surface layer of the skin. Look for serums with hyaluronic acid and vitamin C for added benefits.

The train left the station headed for nowhere, its destination also
its point of embarkation, its purpose not to transport its
passengers, but to feed them.
By early March, western Washington neared the end of the rinse
cycle, a nearly perpetual curtain of ocean rain that blanketed the
region for the winter months, unleashing in its wake a promise of
summer. Dark, saturated clouds hung low on the eastern horizon.
Well to the west, where the sun retreated in a violent display, a
glimpse of blue cracked the marbled gray, as welcome to the
residents of Seattle as any sight alive.
Arrival at the dinner train surprised Doris Shotz. She had thought
her husband Paul was taking her to Ivar's, one of Seattle's more
popular fish house chains. A simple dinner date had presented her
with a test of sorts, being that it was her first evening leaving
her four-month-old baby girl, Rhonda, with a sitter. She'd finally
decided she could handle an hour or two a flew blocks away from
home. But an entire evening stuck on a train in the woods was
unimaginable, unthinkable!
"Surprised?" he asked, dispalying the tickets proudly.
On the verge of total panic Doris reminded herself that Julie was
an experienced sitter, having taken care of Henry for the last
year, as responsible a fifteen-year-old as one could ask for.
Better to give Paul his moment than to start a fight.
They'd been talking about the dinner train for years. And Doris had
to concede that over the last nine months, Paul had been a saint.
She owed him.
"I can't believe it!" she said truthfully.
"I know. You didn't guess did you?"
"Not for an instant. I promise: It's a complete surprise."
"Good." He reached down and took her hand and squeezed. She felt
flushed. She wanted to be home with the kids.
"All aboard," he said.
The train lurched. Doris Shotz shifted to avoid spilling the cheap
champagne that Paul had ordered. Although she didn't want to drink
while nursing, she knew Paul would consider it an act of defiance
to say no to any part of the celebration, and given that she had
already gone this far to please her husband, she wasn't going to
let one glass of champagne ruin the evening. When the train turned
east the frosted mountains flooded crimson with the sunset, Paul
said with obvious satisfaction, "This is a long way from the
backside of a computer."
Paul repaired PCs for Micro System Workshop, a name his employer
had invented because it could be reduced to MS Workshop, and in an
area dominated by Microsoft those two initials meant dollars. Paul
drove a blue MS Workshop van around the city, crisis to crisis,
fire to fire: hard drives, networks, IRQ ports- Doris had heard all
the buzzwords enough times to think she might be capable of a
repair or two herself.
Paul provided for them adequately. He loved her in his own way. She
loved him
too, though differently than she once had. Now the children
absorbed most of her time and much of her love too. She wasn't sure
exactly how to categorize her love for Paul; she simply knew that
she would always be at his side, would attempt to put up with his
moods. But the truth was that she lived for her children, Rhonda
and Henry. She had never before known such a complete feeling. It
warmed her just thinking about it.
She politely refused a refill of champagne as she watched her
husband's cheeks redden behind the alcohol's effects. Clearly
carried away with happiness and the light buzz that came from the
champagne he talked at her, but she didn't hear. Boys and trains,
she thought.
"Do you think I should call home?" she asked him.
She motioned to the rear of the train car. "There's a pay phone.
Cellular. I could call them."
"You know how much those things cost? Fifteen minutes, Doro," he
pointed out, checking his Casio and saying sarcastically, "we've
been gone a whole fifteen minutes!" He leaned closer and she could
smell the sweet alcohol on his breath, a smell that reminded her of
the occasional drunken violence that Paul had sometimes brought
with him to their bed. "They're fine. Julie's perfectly
"You're right," she said, offering him a fragile smile. He nodded
and stared out the window. She felt sick with anxiety.
It occurred to her that in a few minutes she could excuse herself
to go to the bathroom and use the phone. Paul would probably never
know. The champagne bottle's white plastic cork rolled noisily at
his feet. The train clattered past condominiums that reminded her
of a Monopoly board. A few of the couples had dressed for the
occasion, though most wore jeans and sweatshirts. It wasn't exactly
the Orient Express.
It soon became clear that Paul's romance was with the train rather
than her. Flushed cheeks pressed to the glass, his right foot
tapping quickly as it always did when he drank in excess, her
husband disappeared into the alcohol and she retreated into
thoughts about her children.
Ten minutes passed with minimal conversation. Doris excused herself
and made the call home. It rang and rang, but there was no
Wrong number, she decided. At those prices-$3.95 for the first
minute, $.99 each portion of a minute thereafter-Paul was certain
to catch the charge on the credit card bill. But so what? She
pressed: NEW CALL. She redialed, again suffering under the weight
of its endless ringing. She could envision Julie busy with a
diaper, or in the middle of feeding. It didn't necessarily mean
trouble . . .
A fire, she thought. Paul's home entertainment center-a sports
center was more like it-crowded the outlets with far too many
wires. What would Julie do in a fire?
The knot in her stomach twisted more tightly. Her fingers went cold
and numb. Julie might be in the bathroom. Nothing more than
her imagination wouldn't let it go. Perhaps Julie had a boyfriend
with her in the house. In that case, she wouldn't be paying
attention either to the kids or the phone. Doris stole a look
around the corner and down the shifting train car's center aisle to
the back of her husband's head. She had already been gone a few
minutes, and it would ruin everything if he caught her at the pay
phone. She had promised him she would wait to call until after
She hung up the receiver, deciding to slip into the washroom and
then try again when she came out. But she emerged only to find
someone else using the phone, ironically a mother happily talking
to her children.
When the woman hung up, Doris tried again. This time the phone's
endless ringing seemed a kind of punishment for trying at all. She
glanced up the aisle at Paul, but now all she could think about was
that there was something terrible going on. She decided to call her
neighbor Tina who answered on the second ring.
Doris concentrated on removing any panic from her voice. "Tine,
it's Doris. I have a really weird favor to ask of you . . ."
In her mother's heart she knew: Something was dreadfully

Court orders for the recognition of a genetic mother of twins born to a surrogate are on hold pending a possible appeal by the State.
The case returned to the High Court today for finalisation of orders.
But lawyers for the State asked for a stay on the orders in the event of an appeal to the Supreme Court.
The genetic parents of the twins last month won their case aimed at achieving legal recognition for the mother.
The twins were born to her sister using the couple's embryos.
Mr Justice Henry Abbott awarded the couple their costs today.
The State now has 21 days to appeal.
Last month Mr Justice Abbott ruled that the genetic mother was the legal mother and was entitled to have a declaration from the court stating that.
He also said the twins were entitled to have the genetic mother named as their mother on their birth certificates.
The State had refused to allow the genetic mother to be listed as the mother on the twins' birth certificates.
The surrogate mother was the sister of the genetic mother, and had supported the application.

BLOG NEWS: The benefits of eating red or purple coloured fresh vegetables
Try serving purple and white cauliflower with a little grated cheese.
The deep red or purple colour in plants means there are a lot of anthocyanins present. The word comes from Greek for 'blue flowers'. There are over 300 known anthocyanins.
Anthocyanins are antioxidants - we need a continuous and abundant supply of them to maintain good health. This is another good reason to eat a range of colourful fresh vegetables every day.
Coloured vegetables can bleed in water, and lose or change colour in cooking. However, to maintain the colour, add some lemon juice or vinegar to the cooking water. When adding to fritter mixes, include some baking soda in the mixture and this will help maintain the intensity of colour.
If you cannot find purple cauliflower, try red cabbage, beetroot, egg plant, red onions or purple beans.

According the Journal of Clinical Psychology, only 8 percent of those who make New Year's Resolutions actually keep them. And what's the most common resolution? Lose weight. A widespread misconception is that a lack of will power or motivation is the reason that the remaining 92 percent of people fail to keep their resolutions.
In actuality, the reason has little to do with either of those things. The problem actually lies in the goal itself: they are too general, and do not evoke specific change. A great way to remedy this would be to choose SMART goals, which are designed to produce a long-term vision and short-term motivation. Writing this goal down on paper will ensure it is fully-developed and well-outlined. Those who follow this are more likely to succeed and follow through.
When formulating a SMART goal, it's important to remember they should meet the following criteria:
Specific: The goal should be as specific as possible, serving as an instructional guide to reaching your goal.
Measurable: The goal should also be easily measurable, allowing you to measure progress and avoid veering from your intended end result.
Attainable: The goal should force you to step outside of your comfort zone, while still being both inspiring and achievable.
Relevant/Realistic: The goal should be in line with your current pursuits and should therefore be easily applicable to your current lifestyle or circumstances.
Time-Bound: The goal should be linked to a time frame that creates a practical sense of urgency.
Example of a SMART goal: I want to lose one pound per week for the next three months. I will do this by eliminating soda from my diet and exercising three times per week at the gym for 30 minutes.
The more specific you can be with your goal, the better.
This year, take every day as an opportunity to make healthy choices. Whether you do this on your own, or with the help of a professional, remember that losing weight quickly and safely is more than a change in habits, but a change in lifestyle. The path towards weight loss success often requires a structured program that will help you set these SMART goals and personalized, proven program for achieving them.
Medifast Centers not only help you set and achieve your weight loss goals, but also set you on the path toward maintaining a healthy weight in 2014 and beyond. With your own personal Certified Weight Loss Counselor who's with you every step of the way, you can be part of the 8 percent who keep their New Year's resolution this year.

Ms. NORTON. Mr. Speaker, I come to the floor to thank the House for recognizing that all veterans and members of the military must be recognized equally, not only some of them; and I have asked the Senate to do the same.
Imagine you are a parent. You go to a military ceremony, for example, the graduation from Navy boot camp. Applause comes with each graduate as his or her name is called, and the flag of the home State is raised. But your flag is not raised. Why? Because your son is from the District of Columbia or one of the Territories.
The House defense authorization bill recognizes the injustice of the discrimination against any of our veterans or members of the military. The Senate bill does not. We ask that the Senate follow the lead of the House.
In our country, no American--and especially no veteran or member of the military--is more equal than any other. If the military flies the flags, then fly them all.

While there are many things I love about Morocco, the bureaucracy is not one of them. As an oft cited example, the process of getting married.
In 2009, when Hanane and I first became engaged, we looked at the list of requirements and literally cried because of the seeming impossibility. The initial list we were given consisted of about thirty-five documents of which I had zero.
The list was roughly:
Identity card – my Hawaii drivers license had expired several months earlier
Passport and most recent entry visa – okay I had this
Proof of income – I had no job
Original Certified birth certificate less than 90 days old
Attestation de travail – proof of a job
Work contract – more proof of a job
police record less than 90 days old from state most recently resided in
police record from the Ministry of strangers in Rabat
proof of residence – I had no residence
rental contract signed and notarized – again, I had no residence
9 passport photos
Medical certificate by Sefrou doctor
Affidavit of eligibility to marry- consul certified
Affidavit of nationality – consul certified
Consul certified copy of passport
Police check and validation by Sefrou police
Conversion to Islam, signed, stamped, and paid.
For Hanane
medical certificate proving virginity
Sworn affidavit of consent and eligibility to marry by two adult male family members
Identity card
Police check and validation by Sefrou police
Character reference from local constabulry
9 photos
All of these documents would need to be certified by the local and national government, stamped, sealed, and delivered. Anything not in Arabic would need to be translated by an official government translator, stamped and sealed. In addition, approval would have to be granted by a family court judge, reviewed by the District Attorney (Aldul), and then approved by the judge a second time. We would need five seperate certified dossiers and would need to pay all fees.
When I realized what I had gotten into, I actually considered calling the whole thing off. The problem is that in Morocco, you can't just live together. There isn't any boyfriend and girlfriend situations. You can be single. You can be engaged in which case you are allowed to see each other and you can be married in which case you are allowed the rights of marriage such as travel, staying in the same house or hotel, and not being judged. Otherwise, a woman in Morocco is considered nearly universally to be loose if she is spending time with a 'boyfriend'. It's a fucked up, judgmental, and ignorant viewpoint which pervades nearly the entire society.
Frankly, at first, I was rather pleased to have this huge list ahead of us as I wanted us to have time to be sure of our decision. Or as sure as we could be anyway. Over the next year, I accumulated my list of documents and she accumulated hers. In the process of getting the documents I was required more than once to stretch the truth, throw tantrums, beg, and plead. Finally, as I wrote several weeks ago, we had managed to get the entire list of documents.
This involved a trip to the United States, trips to Rabat, Casablanca, and multiple trips to Fez to visit the translator. We finally presented our papers to the family court judge. He pointed out that the translator had transliterated my family name into Arabic differently than the Aldul who I paid to make me Muslim had, so we rushed back to see the translator. Next, the judge told me that since Hawaii uses electronic validation rather than using a good old fashioned ink stamp, that my Hawaii criminal record check was unacceptable, after begging and explaining, he told us he would accept it but we had to go get it translated again. All of this process involved no less than spending the bulk of three days sitting at the courthouse and waiting for a moment to see the judge. Time spent with the judge about 15 minutes total, time spent waiting at least 30 hours of sitting and then trying to cram into his office past all the other people waiting to see him.
The translations each cost about $20 each and required several hours of waiting in the office and usually 24 hours of waiting for the translations to be delivered. The local certifications cost on average three hours of waiting for each batch.
We returned to the judge and waited four hours to see him again and then he read the translation and said it wouldn't work after all. Hanane begged and he told us to wait four more hours, finally he came back and said, okay, he'd accept it. With a signature we were able to submit the papers to the clerk who told us to wait another day, after this day we submitted the file to a separate clerk who wrote sealed letters to the constabulary and the police. We delivered these to the officials with again about 7 hours of waiting and were told the papers would be ready the next day, four days later the papers were delivered with us spending about 3 hours each day waiting to be told they weren't ready yet.
With these papers we could finally go back to the family court and deliver them to another clerk. The process should be about done, except that the alduls had gone on strike so we had to wait four more days for their strike to end so that they could give us the certified folder to deliver to the judge again. Lots of waiting in the court house and the aldul's office to make this process work and finally the fuckers came off strike and we got the folder, took it to the court waited 3 hours to pay 565 dirhams for a necessary receipt, then waited for the judge to sign off on the papers, the judge came after about two hours and told us to wait. Finally we got impatient and went to his office and he told us that we would need to come back the next day since by the time he had gotten around to our file, everyone in the courthouse had gone home. That was yesterday….
Now we go and see him again….and I wonder what sort of hell he will provide for us now. The stress of all of this has caused us to fight, caused us to cuss, caused us to sometimes talk about just giving up….but we haven't….I still wonder if they will approve this at all….and I think to myself that if ever there was a system that deserves to be destroyed, it is this one. Over a year of preparation and since gathering all the necessary papers, nearly three weeks of waiting, my nerves are destroyed, my hope is nearly gone, and I think of all the people who have probably just given up on love and marriage in Morocco because of how fucked up the system is. Some people I know just gave up, some who had the resources went to other countries to be married, some relationships died under the pressure, and some…well, this one at least, we keep trying and keep going, and keep moving forward.
My thoughts on it are this, I'm not going to let bureaucracy keep me from the life that I want to have.

Microsoft hasn't yet attracted the millions of patients it would like to its personal health data service, HealthVault, says Peter Neupert, corporate vice president of the company's Health Solutions Group. Though HealthVault and other products like Google Health that enable patients to store their health information online are free and available to anyone with Internet access, there appear to be many hurdles to clear before the use of such products becomes mainstream.
Neupert, along with his counterparts from Google Health and WebMD, was in Boston last Thursday to discuss personal health data platforms at the annual Connected Health Symposium, which was hosted by Boston-based Partners HealthCare's Center for Connected Health. Despite the slow adoption rates of personal electronic health records indicated by Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), the companies may find themselves on the right side of history if the masses decide to own and manage personal health data online. Indeed, there has been lots of talk in Washington, DC, and elsewhere about moving healthcare toward a more patient-focused model, and one of the likely requirements for doctors in the U.S. to qualify for nearly $20 billion in federal incentives for adopting electronic medical records systems is to give patients access to personal health information.
But there are some big barriers in the way of patients adopting personal health records such as HealthVault and Google Health. Phil Marshal, a vice president of WebMD (NASDAQ:WBMD), said that he and his competitors have to make patients trust the provider of the record service, communicate well to patients, and ensure that the person finds value in the service. "I don't think we're there yet," he said. And he noted that WebMD has been in the personal health information business since 1999. (Personal health records, of course, are among many online health resources that WebMD provides.) Another hurdle is that a patient typically can't easily connect her personal health record to the health data kept in her doctors' office, in part because many of their doctors aren't connected to health information networks that enable them to transfer information.
"The steps needed to get millions and millions of users [of personal health records] are first to get providers connected," Neupert said.
The technology certainly exists to integrate personal health records with providers, pharmacies, health insurers, and other stakeholders in healthcare. Microsoft's Amalga technology stack, for example, includes tools that enable hospitals and public health agencies to share health data over a network, and I'm told that at least one regional health information network that uses Amalga is considering a project to … Next Page »

GORGOROTH guitarist Infernus — who is involved in a legal dispute with his estranged bandmates over the rights to the group's name — has issued the following update:"I am proud to announce that former GORGOROTH guitarist Tormentor has accepted my offer to rejoin the band in its new incarnation. As of today, Tormentor has the status of permanent member in the band, together with myself, Tomas Asklund [drums; DISSECTION] and Frank Watkins [bass; OBITUARY]." The Gaahl-fronted version of GORGOROTH recently entered the studio in its hometown of Bergen, Norway to begin recording eight new tracks composed by King ov Hell (bass). Along with Gaahl, King and Frost (SATYRICON) on drums, the full recording lineup will include Teloch (guitar) and Ice Dale (guitar). ENSLAVED's Herbrand Larsen is once again producing GORGOROTH in the studio. According to Gaahl and King, the Swedish appeal courts (Hovretten in Malmö) recently upheld the decision by authorities at Tingretten in the matter concerning Regain Records' unauthorized release of GORGOROTH's "True Norwegian Black Metal - Live in Grieghallen" album. Regain Records was once again found in violation of copyrights and agreements made with Gaahl and King and was ordered to cease distribution of this release. "Live in Grieghallen" was released in June via Regain. According to a press release, the CD was recorded live at Grieghallen in Bergen, Norway by Eirik "Pytten" Hundvin and features Infernus on bass and guitar, Gaahl on vocals, and Garghuf on drums.
INFERNUS' Version Of GORGOROTH Rejoined By Guitarist TORMENTOR

That was the hot rumor flying around Albuquerque after KOB-FM radio's posting on its Facebook page on Wednesday about 10:30 a.m.
The rumor apparently started on another Facebook page, that of Gerges Scott.
Scott, a crisis communications consultant, told the Journal "I was just speculating" based on information "from unnamed sources."
Scott is a former executive producer of Lobo sports for KRQE-TV and a long-time television news producer.
KOB-FM picked it up:
"Rumors coming from our sister station 770 KKOB that UNM Lobos football coach Mike Locksley will be fired after the game at NMSU on October 9th, and replaced with ANOTHER controversial coach! As many details as we have coming up in about 15 minutes."
KOB-FM's Facebook page never came up with any kind of update. Still, it didn't take long before word spread that Leach would be that coach. Leach coached the Red Raiders while current UNM president David Schmidly was president at Texas Tech.
Meanwhile, UNM athletics director Paul Krebs tried to put an end to the speculation on Wednesday afternoon.
"Mike Locksley's our football coach. Period," Krebs said when asked if Leach would replace Locksley this season.
"As I said (to the Journal) on Saturday, we will make an evaluation at the end of the season. We'll sit down with coach at the end of the season, but he's our coach."
The 0-3 Lobos play Saturday at 0-3 UNLV.
Leach, after being dismissed late last year at Texas Tech, is a commentator for college football broadcasts on CBS College Sports.

With most of its business loans coming due in 2011, West Community Credit Union was seeking ways to assist its members with renewals when it came across a Missouri program aimed at creating and retaining jobs.
The $126 million credit union in O'Fallon, Mo., is among the first cooperatives in the state to partner with the Missouri Linked Deposit Program. Banks and credit unions go through an approval process to be able to provide low-interest loans to small businesses, expand the economy and strengthen communities statewide. Lenders can lower the interest rates to the borrower by two to three percentage points. In place for nearly 25 years, the program has $720 million available, according to Clint Zweifel, Missouri's state treasurer.
"Small businesses and family farms in Missouri can use the interest rate savings provided by the Missouri Linked Deposit Program for investing right back into their businesses," Zweifel said at the time legislation passed in 2009 that expanded eligibility guidelines.
The way MLDP works is a credit union or bank approves the borrower's loan application by applying its normal lending standards. The lender then submits the application to Zweifel's office for approval. Lenders need to have sufficient collateral. The total market value of collateral must be equal to or greater than the collateralization margin set by the state treasurer of the total amount of state time deposits including accrued interest to maturity plus demand deposits with the depository, less the amount, if any, which is insured by the FDIC or the NCUSIF.
Borrowers that have employees may need to complete additional immigration documentation. Some may have to submit a Department of Revenue request for tax clearance form if the MLDP loans are over $250,000.
Jason Peach, chief financial officer at West Community, said the credit union was approved as a designated lender in July. The strategy now is to identify members who have business loans that are nearing renewal to see if they qualify for a MLDP loan at a reduced rate.
The benefits of participation include West Community getting a low-cost deposit from the state that is matched off by the loan, Peach explained. It was important to have some protection through the program. He said for the credit union to offer a lower than market rate, it needed a guarantee on its spread.
"We heard about the program and saw it as a way to not take on interest rate risk and help business members," Peach said. "It may help grow businesses and it helps the members. It all feeds on itself."
Peach said West Community is one of the top originators of business loans among credit unions in Missouri. Business members have been served for some time but a focused ramp up occurred in 2006, he added. Today, there is about $12 million in business loans in the portfolio.
"In 2006, we felt like we weren't going to get the volume on the business side unless we did what banks were doing and that was putting people on the street," Peach said referring to the business development representatives hired to help generate sales volume. "Referrals have been big for us especially with commercial loans."
Being able to offer lower rates to small business owners has been a draw for many of Missouri's financial institutions, according to the state's treasurer's office. The interest rate for the deposit with the lender providing a MLDP loan is based on a formula set by state law. The interest rate is set off of the market rate, which is computed based on the average CD rate quoted by Missouri lenders for the comparable term. When the market rate is above 5%, the treasurer's office may reduce the yield on the deposit to the lender by as much as 3%. When the market rate is below 5%, Zweifel may multiply the rate by as much as 60%. State law requires that the amount of the interest rate reduction must be passed on to the loan applicant for a MLDP loan
Peach said it would like to generate more new loan relationships within the small business community but West Community, like other credit unions, are having to navigate under the 12.25% of assets member business lending cap.
"That's the reason we're starting with loan renewals because we're capped at the amount of loans we can do," Peach said. "We have a lot of members that have small businesses. We will serve the ones that we have worked with in the mean time."

More Power to GoogleBy Darryl K. Taft | Posted 04-06-2007
More Power to Google
NEW YORKGoogle is seeking the optimal energy efficiency for its large data centers, and it is counting on its top engineers to help deliver it.
Luiz Barroso, a distinguished engineer at Google, discussed the company's projects to reach optimal energy efficiency in a talk entitled, "Watts, faults and other fascinating 'dirty' words computer architects can no longer afford to ignore," at the company's complex here on April 5.
Barroso, a former Digital Equipment engineer with a history of delivering load balancing software for large-scale systems and for working on the design of the core Google infrastructure, summarized two projects he has been working on.
One, a power provisioning study, will be formally released in a paper this summer, Barroso said.
Two main points arose from the power provisioning study, he said: "Maximizing usage of available power capacity is key," and "systems are typically very power-inefficient on nonpeak conditions."
Moreover, Barroso said, "Power/energy efficiency and fault-tolerance are central to the design of large-scale computing systems today. And technology trends are likely to make them even more relevant in the future, increasingly affecting smaller-scale systems."
Barroso acknowledged that Google is building data centers where there is hydroelectric power and "engineers are squeezing every little watt out of every card."
Indeed while circuit designers have to worry about things like temperature and other issues, "we worry about the affordability of building data centers," Barroso said.
He noted that it costs between $10 and $22 per watt to build a data center, while the U.S. average energy cost is only 80 cents per watt. So "it costs more to build a data center than to power it for 10 years," Barroso said.
"You want to get as close as possible to optimal usage," because unused watts cost money, he said.
So for the power provisioning study, Google looked at how much energy its machines were using over six months.
The example for the study covered only 800 machines of the thousands Google employs, and one of the findings was that "you spend 60 percent of your time at or below your peak, and racks of machines are never at peak at the same time."
Moreover, "the data center as a whole is never going above 70 percent of capacity, and that shows we could have deployed 40 percent more machines."
Data center power consumption is on the rise. Click here to read more.
Barroso highlighted two hot areas of computer design made famous in the '90s that have proven to be flawed. One is the acceleration of single-thread performance, which he referred to as the megahertz race. The other is the building of big, distributed shared memory systems, which he called the DSM race.
The theory behind the DSM race was that large-scale computing systems should use a shared-memory programming model because it was familiar to programmers and facilitates sharing of expensive resources, among other things. But the undoing of the DSM race was fault containment, Barroso said.
"A single fault can bring down the entire shared memory domain," Barroso said. "It's a very hard problem to solve and most of the solutions are inadequate."
Meanwhile, in the megahertz race, where even unmodified software simply gets faster by itself because of some computer architectural tricks; "the megahertz race crashes into the power wall," Barroso said.
He said that every year enterprises can buy faster servers for about the same price, "but much more energy is being used so systems become power-inefficient."
Joked Barroso: "When you get to the point where power costs more than servers, you'll have a situation like the cell phone industry model where utility companies might say, 'I'll give you these servers for free if you sign this energy contract.'"
Barroso also mentioned H.R. 5646, a congressional bill signed into law last year to promote the use of energy-efficient computer servers in the United States.

"There are a lot of things you can do to reduce energy conversion losses, like go to single-voltage rail power supply units [PSUs]," Barroso said. "You can get up to a four times reduction in conversion losses."
Moreover, Barroso said Google is "working with [its] partners to create open standards for higher-efficiency PSUs." He later said the list of partners includes Intel and AMD.
Next Page: The promise of parallelism.
Meanwhile, new technologies such as multicore processors and increasing parallelism offer promise. "But there's a catch," Barroso said. "Are there enough threads? Can we expect programmers to build efficient/concurrent programs?"
Indeed, with more data it is easier to do parallelism. "At Google we're interested in problems where there's a truckload of data, so it might be a little easier for us," Barroso said.
However, fault-tolerant software is powerful, but it is not enough, Barroso said. Large-scale systems also need additional monitoring.
Google employs what it calls its System Health Infrastructure, which talks to every server in the system frequently and collects health signals and activity information, Barroso said
Asked if Google might consider open-sourcing this technology, Barroso said "We've been looking at open-sourcing some of the code for some time." However, "some of this is infrastructure and we build it so intertwined with other software we have that it's hard to pull things apart."
In addition, Google uses self-monitoring, analysis and reporting technology, or SMART, to do early detection of problems. And it found that disk drives with scan errors are 10 times more likely to fail than those with no errors, Barroso said.
However, the company found that more than half of the drives that failed showed no signals, he said. Indeed, 56 percent had no strong signals at all, he said.
"It's fairly easy to predict something if you give a long enough time frame," Barroso said. "I predict we're all going to die," he quipped.
In addition, Barroso said the Google study found that temperature was not shown to be a significant factor in disk failuresslightly warmer temperatures did not cause any more failures than cooler ones.
"If the variability of temperature is not that great then data center designers have a lot more flexibility" in designing more energy-efficient facilities, Barroso said.

"As companies continue to move to richer, more collaborative applications for an increasingly geographically dispersed workforce, a major issue of using the Internet to deliver these applications is whether the bandwidth required for these real-time business processes can be handled without too heavy a strain on a shared, public connection," said Asankya Chairman of the Board, Patrick Harr. "By building a Cloud Acceleration Network that provides consistent, reliable, high-speed performance for Internet applications, Asankya has effectively removed the barriers of adoption for the cloud. Our RAPID algorithms are uniquely able to provide high performance while working with encrypted traffic and maintaining application independence, ensuring bandwidth is no longer an obstacle for cloud-based applications."
By 2013 the software-as-a-service market is expected to show consistent growth going from a $6.6 billion market in 2008 to around $16 billion in 2013, according to Gartner, which also predicts that application delivery services will continue to have the widest reach in the enterprise.
Harr believes that increasing speed, reliability, security and consistency are the enabling factors for customers to take advantage of cloud economics while preserving the secure, high-speed benefits of private dedicated networks.
Asankya has built a Cloud Acceleration Network (CAN), consisting of strategically located network nodes on several major Internet backbone providers, enabling applications to work around congestion and bottlenecks in the Internet. Asankya's RAPIDnet(TM) service provides up to a 40x performance improvement for Internet applications, enabling corporations, SaaS providers and government entities to deploy interactive, cloud applications and data services delivered over the Internet without the need to utilize expensive private dedicated networks or build out multiple data centers to support users worldwide.

Can anyone else confirm this? We've had problems with this before. The current c2hs cpp code uses: cppopts :: String cppopts = case os of -- why is gcc different between all these platforms? "darwin" -> "-x=c" "openbsd" -> "-xc" _ -> "-x c" So we had previously had reported that using -x=c worked on OSX. Does that not work for you now? Ie using: c2hs --cpp=cpp --cppopts=-x=c or perhaps: c2hs --cpp=cpp --cppopts=-xc Duncan

Titan Energiser products may help, if you are not bringing enough negative ions into your body to create a proper balance.
The composition of Titan Ion Energiser products attracts negative ions to your body. Depending on your ionic balance, they may offer relief – we are all different. Titan Ion Energiser technology is not medicine (like aspirin) but could be compared more to vitamins. Negative Ions are sometimes referred to as "Vitamins of the Air".
Titan Minus Ion Products are used as energy boosters by many world class and leisure athletes and also by individuals. The composition of our TITAN MINUS ION Wrist Band, manufactured in Japan is made of a specially processed soft silicone rubber, titanium, tourmaline and ceramic mixture.
It is these characteristics which attract Negative Ions to your body to help achieve enhanced ion balance. Many published studies in respected journals have concluded that Negative Ions may have a profoundly beneficial effect on both the mind and body. It is believed that not enough Negative Ions may be the reason that some people experience stress, nervousness and discomfort.

To display two addresses on the bottom of a page, use an additional include file called address-right.inc. Complete this include file with the complete address and code as shown above. You will now have two files in your directory: one called address.inc and one called address-right.inc. With these two files, the footer looks like this:

Joined by a former state Supreme Court justice, attorneys for the poor are trying to raise annual Florida Bar dues by up to $100 to address what they call a fiscal crisis.
The attempt to hike the annual dues, which have not increased since 2001, from the current $265 has sparked an outcry in the legal community and created a rift over how much of the onus lawyers should bear to fund legal-services groups throughout the state.
Former Justice Raoul Cantero, Florida Legal Services Executive Director Kent Spuhler and Florida Justice Institute Executive Director Randall Berg are leading the crusade to increase the fees before the bulk of the current funding for legal aid dries up.
In accordance with Bar rules, Cantero formally notified The Bar that his group intended to file a petition with the Supreme Court proposing a change to the current rule that caps lawyers' annual dues at $265. The proposal would allow the Bar to lift the maximum dues by up to $100 and would require that the additional funds be steered to the "Legal Aid for the Poor Program" administered by The Florida Bar Foundation.
The Bar's Board of Governors unanimously voted in March to oppose the petition, which Cantero said he plans to file with the court on June 16. The foundation voted to remain neutral on the issue. As of last week, more than 375 lawyers had signed onto the "Access to Justice" petition, according to the Florida Legal Services website.
Those on both sides agree that funding for legal-services groups — which receive money from the Florida Bar Foundation, counties and the federal government — is in dire straits. The chief source of the foundation's funding is interest from lawyers' trust accounts. Because of historically low interest rates, that money has dropped 88 percent in recent years — from $44 million in 2007 to $5.5 million in 2012. The foundation has supplemented funding for legal services with money from reserves, which it projects will run out by 2017. The foundation has earmarked about $15 million for legal services this year.
Money from the counties has also shriveled because of a plunge in property tax collections caused by the bursting of the state's real-estate bubble.
Gov. Rick Scott has exacerbated legal services' fiscal woes by slashing money the Legislature placed in the state budget for "civil legal assistance." Scott vetoed $1 million in 2011 and $2 million in each of the following two years.
The proposal pushed by Cantero and the legal-aid lawyers would raise approximately $10 million from the nearly 100,000 lawyers in Florida.
"Allowing a $100 increase in The Florida Bar's membership fees offers immense benefit to the public with minimal inconvenience to Florida's lawyers. Lawyers have a professional obligation to assist in improving the administration of justice, and to provide legal services to those unable to pay for such services," the petition reads.
According to the petition, more than a quarter of the 410 full-time legal aid lawyer positions in Florida are in jeopardy because of the funding shortfall. In 2012, legal-aid lawyers handled 89,720 cases. More than half of the cases dealt with family issues, such as divorce or child custody, and housing cases, like foreclosure.
But Florida Bar President Eugene Pettis and other opponents of a hike in bar dues say that lawyers, who already contribute nearly 2 million hours of pro bono services each year, shouldn't have a heavier burden for a societal problem.
"I think it's just shortsighted," Pettis said of the petition during a recent telephone interview. "This is a community crisis. I think it's time we leaders bring the community together to address it."
The Bar is considering lending the foundation $6 million over the next two or three years and will vote on that proposal at its next meeting May 23, Pettis said.
But, he said, money alone won't fix what he called an outdated system of delivering legal services to the needy. Instead, Pettis is calling for a statewide summit where stakeholders — including Supreme Court justices, Attorney General Pam Bondi and others — can develop a long-term plan.
Berg said the Bar needed to "show some leadership" on the issue.
"This could be a major wonderful thing that the legal profession does for the people of Florida,'' Berg said. "We give lip services to legal services for the poor but when we're asked to step forward and help in any meaningful way we oppose it. It could be a public relations disaster for the Bar in my opinion. This is a wonderful opportunity for lawyers to show the good that they do, by putting their money where their mouth is."
