A corporate magician uses magic to communicate also to sell that is different to the conventional utilization of magic. Most conventionally magicians perform their tricks to amuse but a corporate magician generally has a heritage of business or trade and may also perform their magic tricks at conferences, meetings and even in the launching of an item. Their own workshops may also run and can often also show up in a trade show where they perform and will patter illusionary magic tricks to assist in enhancing the presentation of an item that's being provided by particular corporate sponsors. - trade show magician

These magicians use specific apparatus which contain things for example money and cards, rings, silks, credit cards, ropes together with other things meant to amaze and delight a corporate crowd. Intriguing magic tricks will keep the guests when they find that their expensive watches are being stolen and after that returned in the most mysterious ways perplexed and baffled.

NGOs get own guidelinesJune 2010
Non-governmental organizations have been given a specific version of the Global Reporting Initiative's sustainability reporting guidelines.
Although some NGOs already use the main GRI guidelines, the organization has highlighted a number of 'unique needs' for non-profits, and has produced advice on ethical fundraising, operational transparency, and the linking of governance to values.
On fundraising and allocation of resources, the supplement recommends that non-profits break down funding by source, list their five largest individual donations, and review 'processes in place to track the use of resources for the purposes intended, including both cash and in-kind contributions'.
Additionally, a key difference is emphasised in the application of the reporting guidelines to NGOs. The supplement says: 'It is important to distinguish here that the purpose of this reporting framework is on the sustainability of the organization and the effectiveness of systems in place to optimise programme delivery, rather than the impact of its work.'
The GRI hopes to encourage more NGOs to report under its guidelines. Last year only 27 of the 1361 reports listed by the GRI were classified as being from non-profits. Increasingly, many business leaders have also begun to demand that a similar level of accountability should be required to the NGO sector as it is to the corporate world.
In a separate move, the GRI has also published a supplement for the food processing sector, which joins industry-specific advice for the electric utilities, financial services and mining sectors.
The guidance, produced by a working group that included Findus, Nestle and WWF, focuses especially on ethical sourcing and animal welfare. It recommends, for example, that firms should report on the percentage of animals in its supply chain that are exposed to potential welfare risks connected to breeding and genetic practices – and that they should report this by species and commercial purpose.
More sector supplements are being developed by the Amsterdam-based GRI for airport operators, construction and real estate, event organizers, media, and the oil and gas industry.

text: Preemptive Edit: The cause of my problem IS NOT the sliding door. I am opening the door completely (feeling the "click") before attempting to connect the cable. Hey all, I just wanted to get some other people's opinions on this, as it isn't one of the flaws that is usually brought up when discussing this phone. In general, I am really liking this phone. I switched from an iPhone 4, and everything is working great (with the exception of spotty GPS coverage). I have one HUGE gripe though, and that's the phone's recessed microUSB port. I hate how the microUSB port is recessed, and isn't just flush with the top like every other phone. The provided USB cable works fine, but every other microUSB cable I try to use has a very flimsy connection because it doesn't fit all the way in. I'm sure most of us on this board, with our tendency to customize and power-use our beloved device, would normally get a number of microUSB cables to use with the phone - at work, in the car, at home, wherever. I bought 5 microUSB cables from monoprice, knowing this would be an issue. I can make a connection using the cables as long as nothing moves the phone whatsoever when it is connected. Therefor, any major work that needs to be done via a connection with a PC is a HUGE risk while using any 3rd party cable. Am I the only one who is really annoyed by this problem? Is there some extender I can buy that has a thinner microUSB port on one end and can be attached to any other MicroUSB cable? Thanks for reading!

Secondary schools in England that do not improve could be closed by the Department of Children, Schools and Families and re-opened under new management.
Private firms, universities and successful state schools will all be brought in to run failing schools.
The National Schools Challenge, to be launched later today, will require every secondary school in England to ensure at least 30 per cent of pupils get at least five good GCSEs including English and maths.
Ed Balls, the Schools Secretary, has identified 638 schools that do not reach that mark, and will give them three years to meet the standard.
In cities including Manchester and Birmingham, the majority of secondary schools currently fall below the 30 per cent target.
Mr Balls told the Guardian: "We don't want to see excuses about poor performance, what we want to see is clear plans to raise standards in every school with a clear expectation that if by 2011 there are still schools stuck below 30 per cent ... and there's not been a radical transformation at that point, our expectation will be that the school closes and reopens as a national challenge trust or academy."
Local authorities running failing schools will today be given a 50-day deadline to draw up action plans to improve their performance. They will be given access to help and support from successful schools.
Ministers will spend a total of £400 million supporting failing schools, Mr Balls will announce.
The National Union of Teachers has rejected the plan.
Christine Blower, acting general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said: "If Ed Balls is to provide meaningful support to the 638 secondary schools he has identified he has to lift the threat of school closure for failing to meet arbitrary targets.
"No headteacher or teacher mindful of their career will join a National Challenge school if they think it will be closed and turned into an academy in the following year."
Michael Gove, Mr Balls' Tory shadow said ministers are failing on standards.
"It is not just 600 schools at the bottom which give cause for concern. There are hundreds more where fewer than half the children get five good GCSEs and as a nation we are falling behind," he said.

Data science is an emerging field, with rapid changes, great uncertainty, and exciting opportunities. Our study attempts the first ever benchmark of the data science community, looking at how they interact with their data, the tools they use, their education, and how their organizations approach data-driven problem solving. We also looked at a smaller group of business intelligence professionals to identify areas of contrast between the emerging role of data scientists and the more mature field of BI. Our findings, summarized here, show an emerging talent gap between organizational needs and current industry capabilities exemplified by the unique contributions data scientists can make to an organization, and the broad expectations of data science professionals generally.
The Emerging Talent Gap
For the past two decades, business and political leaders have sounded a warning call about the shortage of trained computer scientists, programmers, and engineers necessary to continue to advance a high tech economy. Less noticed has been the coming gap in analytics professionals needed to use all of the data created by these high tech systems. In 2009, Google Chief Economist Hal Varian predicted that the statisticians will be the next sexy jobi, and in our own survey, 83% of Data Scientists felt that new technology would increase the New tools and technology will… demand for data scientists, and 64% believe that it will outpace the supply of available talent. Decrease the This makes intuitive sense for a young field. Technological trends tend to follow a cycle, where the initial opportunity leads to ever increasing demand for a certain set of skills, while later demand wanes as many of those initial skills are automated by even newer tools. Consider, for instance, the way many data processing and network management jobs that used to require legions of computer operators are now handled by automated monitoring tools. Data science is still in its early phase, with the amount of data exploding and the right tools to process them just becoming available.
number of data scientists required by automating much of the analytical work 17% Increase the number of data scientists required by opening up new possibilities 83%
The best source of new Data Science talent is:
Today's BI professionals 12% Other 3% Students studying studying computer science 34% Students studying fields other than computer science 24%
Professionals in disciplines other than IT or computer science 27%
Although data science is generating new opportunities, our capacity to train new data scientists is not keeping up, and nearly twothirds of respondents foresee a looming shortfall in the number of data scientists over the next five years. This aligns with other research, including a recent McKinsey Global Institute study that predicts a shortage of 190,000 data scientists by the year 2019ii. And when our respondents were asked where the best source for talent was, few looked to today's business intelligence professional. Instead, nearly two-thirds looked for today's university students.
Who is the Data Scientist?
Although the term data science has been around for decades – indeed, most scientists use data of some form – the term data scientist in its current context is relatively new, frequently credited to DJ Patil, who started the data science team at LinkedIn.iii But as a new term, the field is still very much in flux, and without evidence about the practitioners, we're left to speculate abuot what it may mean. In our survey, we allowed users to self-identify as "data science professionals," in order to avoid conflicts over terminology in job titles. In this section we'll attempt to define the data scientist by comparing them with the previous big player in the analytics space, business John Smith (Real Name Withheld) is a former intelligence intelligence professionals. Twenty years ago, business intelligence was itself a new term, just emerging to take over the various database management and decisions support functions within an organization. As the field grew rapidly in the 90s, it also coalesced around a smaller number of tools, more consistent expectations for talent, better training, and more rigorous organizational standards. As our data demonstrates, data scientists are currently going through that transition,
analyst who dealt with massive data sets to inform him on the patterns of drug traffic across US borders and in and out of ports. His team and he were able to dramatically increase number of seizures by using statistical analyses to isolate easy to reach and difficult to patrol locations - with success driven by the establishment of new off-shore monitoring protocols. Coupled with the use of Open Source Intelligence (monitoring data from Twitter, Wikipedia updates, etc) used by IARPA - the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity – which seeks to identify events before they occur, based on tracking sentiment – we can see Government Agencies increasingly utilizing big data to both inform and guide their strategic and tactical decision making processes.
It may be helpful to think of data science and business intelligence as being on two ends of the same spectrum, with business intelligence focused on managing and reporting existing business data in order to monitor or manage various concerns within the enterprise. In contrast, data science applies advanced analytical tools and
algorithms to generate predictive insights and new product innovations that are a direct result of the data. The need for rigorous scientific training was born out in our research on data scientists, and paints a clear distinction between data scientists and BI professionals. The most popular undergraduate degree for BI professionals was in business at 37% - more than the next three categories combined. In contrast, the most popular degree for data science professionals was computer science (24%), followed closely by engineering (17%) and the hard sciences (11%). We also found that data science professionals were over 2.5 times more likely to have a master's degree, and over 9 times more likely to have a doctoral degree as business intelligence professionals. The data science toolkit is more varied and more technically sophisticated than the BI toolkit. While most BI professionals do their analysis and data processing in Excel, data science professionals are using SQL, advanced statistical packages, and NoSQL databases. Further, although big-data tools like Hadoop, and advanced visualization tools like Tableau are just starting to emerge in the data science world, they are almost unseen in the business intelligence world. Open Source tools, like the R statistics package, Python, and Perl, are each used by one in five data science professionals, but around one in twenty BI professionals.

An important facet of data science is the ability to run experiments on data, as evidenced by DJ Patel's description of how they built the "people you may know" function at LinkedIn:
It would have been easy to turn this into a high-ceremony development project that would take thousands of hours of developer time, plus thousands of hours of computing time to do massive correlations across LinkedIn's membership. But the process worked quite differently: it started out with a relatively small, simple program that looked at members' profiles and made recommendations accordingly. Asking things like, did you go to Cornell? Then you might like to join the Cornell Alumni group. It then branched out incrementally. In addition to looking at profiles, LinkedIn's data scientists started looking at events that members attended. Then
at books members had in their libraries. The result was a valuable data product that analyzed a huge database -- but it was never conceived as such. It started small, and added value iteratively. It was an agile, flexible process that built toward its goal incrementally, rather than tackling a huge mountain of data all at once.
Data Scientist Profile
Without free access to the data and the ability to run tests without bureaucratic hurdles, LinkedIn would never have 22% Data Scientists been able to add this critical feature. In the Data Science Survey, we found that Business data scientists were nearly twice as 12% Intelligence likely as business intelligence professionals to have this freedom, but that most organizations are falling short on this critical characteristic.

Broadening the Data Science Community
While Data Science is most often associated with Big Data, it is important to consider the host of other professions and roles that deem their work to be data science. This includes people from fields as diverse as Market Research, Financial Analysis, Information Technology, Management Consulting, Marketing and Media, Academia, Social Research, Demographic and Census Research and the Intelligence Community – it is no wonder this segment is difficult to define As part of our study, we asked respondents for their job titles, and in the ranks of many business analysts, consultants, and analytics managers, we also found graphic designers, physicians, and research scientists, including one fisheries biologist. Successful data science often requires working with teams, including specialists who are able to divide labor and collaborate on the final outcome. The absence of clear boundaries defining data science, and the many people co-opting the term for their own, is a good thing for the burgeoning function. It creates more interest in data science, both to support organizational decision-making, as well as to attract more talent into the field of data science. Raising the profile of both the function and the role is critical in organizations making the most out of the explosion of data they have access to.
As chief data officer and executive VP, Research & Strategic Data Solutions at Yahoo! Inc. Fayyad was responsible for Yahoo!'s overall data strategy, policies, systems, and managing the Company's data processing/analytics infrastructure. He also oversaw Yahoo!

In a recent keynote at KAUST (King Abdulla University of Science and Technology), Usama spoke to the power of data to help define the social web and how businesses can use this data to their own advantage – and that without the expertise of data scientists, businesses will not be able to use the data at their disposal (particularly big data).
How frequently do you partner with each role (%very frequently)
Graphic Designer HR Sales Statistician Marketing Strategic Planning Programmer IT Administration Business Management Data Scientist 9% 15% 16% 14% 18% 23% 18% 20% 30% 27% 32% 32% 29% 24% 32% 36% 33% 38% 35% 38%
In addition to data science representing a broad sample of the population, we also found that data scientists are not lone actors, but work on teams that frequently partner with diverse roles in an organization. On average, a data science professional has one additional frequent partner than the average business intelligence professional, and will partner more frequently with statisticians, programmers, IT administrators, and most importantly other data scientists to gather, organize, and make use of their data.
The "Big Data" Data Scientist
Perhaps the greatest emerging opportunity in data science is "big data" – the ability to analyze massive data sets generated by web logs, sensor systems, and transaction data in order to identify insights and derive new data products. In addition to asking whether respondents self identified as data scientists, our survey also constructed a psychometric screener to identify data scientists who worked on big data, based on background research into emerging expectations for big data, most notably O'Rielly Media VP Mike Loukides's article "What is Data Science?"iv Based on these five items, we created a subsample that includes only respondents who answered all five questions on the "Big Data" side of the spectrum. Four-fifths of big data scientists classifed themselves as data scientists, and the remaining 20% cosnidered themselves business intelligence professionals.
Business Intelligence Data Scientist
Our findings showed that the emerging big data scientist is distinctly different from other data professionals. For instance, nearly half of big data scientists use R, despite the fact that it is only used by only 13% of other practitioners. They are also twice as likely to use a big data storage tool like Hadoop, Greenplum, or Netezza. Big data scientists are also remarkably educated – 40% have a master's degree, and an additional 17% have a About how much time do you spend on doctorate. Over 90% have at least a college the following activities (% A lot) education.
Acquiring new data sets Parsing data sets Filtering and organizing data Mining data for patterns Applying advanced algorithms to solve analytical problems Representing data visually Telling a story with data Interacting with data dynamically Making business decisions based on data 27% 21% 34% 23% 22% 31% 27% 30% 35% 48% 50% 58% 52% 48% 54% 50% 58% 60%
Big data is also even more of a team sport. Half of big data scientists partner very frequently with a Data Scientist, Statistician, or Programmer – nearly twice the rate of the normal data group. They are also more likely to partner with frequently with business management, but are interestingly no more likely to partner with IT administration. Finally, big data scientists touch data in more ways. They are twice as likely as those working

Normal Data
with normal data to work across the data life cycle, everywhere from acquiring new data to business decision making, and around half spend a lot of time on each of these activities.
Our Methodology
The EMC Data Science Community Survey interviewed 497 data scientists and business intelligence professionals from around the world, including deliberate samples in the United States, India, China, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France. 465 respondents were collected through a partnership with Toluna, one of the world's premier online panel providers. All Toluna participants were pre-screened for information technology decision making authority, and further screened as either data science professionals or business intelligence professionals. An additional 25 responses came from participants in the 2011 Data Science Summit, and six through publication by Kaggle, an online contest community for data scientists. All groups were asked the same questions with the same screeners.

As I get ready for the midnight showing of [Deliver Us From Evil](movie:739915), I realize that Eric Bana has a supremely amazing role under his belt that not enough people know about. Most of us in the U.S. know Eric Bana as Ang Lee's failed Hulk, or Avner from Munich or most likely of all, as Hector in Troy. As far as Troy is concerned, I have seen the scene where Bana fights Brad Pitt and that was all I needed, thank you very much. Most recently, his roles as Nero in Star Trek and Eric Heller in Hannah have been good, but they haven't shown off what he is really capable of. Way back in the year 2000, Eric Bana had the starring role in an Australian film called Chopper.
Mark "Chopper" Read is a legendary Australian criminal who wrote his autobiography, "From the Inside" while incarcerated in Melbourne's Pentridge Prison. A collection of tales and anecdotes from his time while there, these stories are insane. Truth really is stranger than fiction when it comes to Chopper and Bana inhabits this crazy, violent, strangely lovable character with ease. He really does slip into the character of Chopper and it really is a sight to see.
Chopper reminds me of Patrick Bateman in the sense that you kind of want to be friends with him, however, unlike Patrick, Chopper is the real deal. The fact that this man existed is just too much to believe sometimes. While being repeatedly stabbed by his friend in prison, he hugs the guy. In another incident, he shoots someone through the eye and then looks seriously concerned and asks the guy if he's o.k.! He is a giant teddy bear of a man, but he will kill you in cold blood; he's truly fascinating. His imposing stature tells you to be wary, but then he starts pouring on that certain Chopper charm and I can see how one would be easily fooled by him.
Bana inhabits this role as if he were born to play it. Covered in tattoos with some gold teeth and extra weight, Bana is almost unrecognizable. He gained 30 pounds, shaved his head and came to set early every day to spend five hours being covered in Read's trademark tattoos. Bana also spent two days with Read in order to perfect his mannerisms and speech patterns. All of this truly paid off and I really don't know who else could have inhabited this character because the one thing that really makes Chopper magnetic is his charm and Bana has charm oozing out of his pores.
The world runs rampant with criminals, but has only one Mark Chopper Read and this is really the entire reason for watching this movie. It's a good movie because the subject matter is good, otherwise, it's just another criminal biography with some run of the mill prison violence, hookers, bars and more violence. Even more than that, Eric Bana is what makes this film a must watch. Every time I see Bana promoted more for his looks than his talent, I just want to yell, "Everyone Must Watch Chopper"!
So, while he is so much more than a pretty face.....
Everyone must watch Chopper!!

The tiny Lumix G7 will let you grab stills from 4K video footage. The trick is to ensure you have
a fast enough shutter speed to freeze the action, which may mean you don't have the optimum
speed for video quality. .
Panasonic's G7 is pushing the 4K video market along and if as a stills photographer you've been wondering what's in it for you, the answer may lie in capturing the action.
A 4K video has a native resolution of 3840x2160 pixels on the G7, which is around an 8-megapixel image. While this isn't huge, a lot of the images we use don't need to be large posters and the 4K size is more than enough. Especially when you look at how the G7 will revolutionise the way you capture moments and action.
Think of it this way: turn the camera on and let it capture 4K video. When something interesting happens, stop the video and scroll through what you have captured. When you find a frame that you like, save it as a JPG!
The Lumix G7 has three 4K stills modes. 4K Burst keeps shooting 8-megapixel images for as long as you keep your finger on the shutter release. The 4K Burst S/S (Start/Stop) mode lets you shoot video normally, but extract any number of stills afterwards. And the 4K Pre-Burst mode has the camera recording a second before and after you press the shutter button, so if you didn't nail the action perfectly, you have another 60 frames to choose from.
The G7 is showing us yet again how technology is going to help us take amazing photographs that have been very difficult in the past. Think of sports photography or even trying to capture lightning! The G7 body only is $899 or you can purchase it with one or two kit lenses at different price points up to $1499.

When your kids grow up, they need to be capable enough to solve their problems. This is why it is good to teach the basic steps of problem solving skills to your children.
How To Handle Sibling Rivalry In Kids
When your kids are wise enough to tackle their issues or face their issues, you can rest assured. Also, your children will learn a lot about listening skills, about staying calm and thinking rationally during the process of learning problem solving skills.
How To Deal With A Crying Child
When your kid learns about resolving conflicts, they can grow up into independent adults. If you wish to train your child's mind in the right way, make them sit with you when a problem arises and explain them how you would generally handle such an issue. Read on to know about various steps in this process.
How To Improve Problem Solving Skills
Identify The Issue
Your first step is to identify the issue. Suppose your kids broke the window panes of a neighbour's house while playing cricket, make them sit and explain the process. So, the problem here is damaging others property and facing the wrath of neighbours.
Why Is It A Problem?
As damaging someone else's property isn't acceptable, it is a problem that has to be tackled.
Brain Storm
Now that the problem is identified, one must brainstorm for solutions. Sit and discuss it with your kids and ask them for some ideas to solve the issue before the neighbour takes action.
Evaluate Solutions
When your kids come up with some ideas, you suggest some better ones. One solution could be saying sorry to your neigbhours and paying for the damages. Explain why this would be the right solution.
Take Action
Knock your neighbors' door and solve the issue by saying sorry and paying for the damages. This way, you can practically explain problem solving skills to your kids.


text: Intro: Well Just received the Seidio Active X case for review I have to say I was surprised. You are provided with three pieces. Outer Screen protector, a rubber back skin, and then a Plastic Skeleton to go over the rubber back piece. Installation was breeze and this case is easier to remove due to the design of the Plastic Skeleton. Outer Screen protector is pretty simple to remove but having finger nails will benefit greatly! Another thing to note: Since the Skeleton is a separate piece, changing colors will be simple ( if you wanted to could even paint it! ). Sliding Mechanism was not affected at all. Design: Outer Screen protector Outer Screen Protection Piece does have a taller lip and it is a little thicker but feels strong. With the taller lip I didn't find any affect or issues with comfort on the use of the screen or buttons. The finish is smooth with a rubbery feel, and yes you may find that one or two little bumps within the finish - (If you really want to remove the bumps in the finish then use 1500 or 2000 wet sand paper and very Lightly go over the bumps. Make sure to wet the paper - this will allow you to keep the finish). The tabs are located on both the top and bottom of the piece and sectioned in the middle ( view pictures above ). -- This is nice since the most common issue with cases is scratching or restriction due to the tabs being placed on each side. Rubber Skin: IMO - I love this! Provides protection for the phone without the possibility of the case scratching the phone itself. Both the Power and Volume buttons are covered but fit the form of the phone and require the same amount of pressure to be pushed. As for the cut outs - Match perfect- Mic, USB, Headphone, Camera, and LED, and if by chance yours does not you can also trim whatever excess you need to since its rubber. Back Skeleton: The back Skeleton has a very smooth finish with no bump in sight. The skeleton itself is very sturdy along with the clips located on each corner. Now the design was to set for most common point of Impact. On any phone there are 6 points - Top Left and Right Corner - Bottom Left and Right Corner - Left Side - Right Side. The Skeleton was designed around these 6 points of impact along with using the rubber skin interior as a shock absorber. The skeleton Case Wraps around on each point which in truth allows for a sturdier construction due to each point of impact being supported both by form and curvature. I will provide pics of the phone within the case once the Camera is charged. Pics, Pics, Pics Active X photo Album Album

Warren, Michigan (PressExposure) January 09, 2009 -- Sales jumped 100% last quarter to people looking for a new alternative to the high priced website advertisement, For Sale sign and a list of options posted on their car or truck being sold. We have made improvements by listening to our customers, such as the new electronic PDF Form File that allows Private Sellers and Dealership personnel to fill out, print a sheet of four card sections and trim them to size. We have also added a label on the stem with an arrow pointing down to the latch with the direction to âLift Latchâ. A customer in Stillman Valley, IL liked the product so much that he purchased forty five (45) to sell at car shows. A customer who is trying to sell a 2005 Pontiac GTO has posted an ad on Craigâs List and has had the ForSaleInator for the same length of time. He has received one call from the ad and five (5) people have taken his ForSaleInator TM cards and have made offers.
The new ForSaleInator is a bright orange or yellow point of sale tool to help people sell their car or truck faster and more efficiently. It comes with and holds fifteen (15) easy to fill out contact and vehicle information cards. The new PDF Form File allows the ForSaleInator user to electronically Fill Out, Print a sheet of four cards and trim them to size. Users can also request an Excel worksheet to add pictures of their vehicle to the backside of the sheet prior to trimming. The ForSaleInator is captured between either the Driver or Passenger Side window and door frame by an integrated thin stem. The front cover label invites people to "Please Take A Card". The ForSaleInatorTM allows Convenience, Captures Attention and provides a Competitive Advantage in selling cars or trucks.
The Private Seller and Dealership versions of the new ForSaleInator are available through the FSI Group LLC website @ [http://www.ForSaleInator.Com]. Please contact Hugh at the FSI Group for any special orders or questions at (586) 914-4139. Dealer or Distributor inquiries are welcome.

Agulowak Lodge | Update's
August 11, 2010 by Post Team
Agulowak Lodge | Update's, (TPI News (blog)) — As days passed we have been receiving more information on Alaska plane crash that killed former Senator Ted Stevens over 4 people. We now know that the plane was headed to Agulowak Lodge.
The lodge is property of GCI the same company that owned the plane DeHavillan DHC-3T.
The plane was carrying people for fishing in the region Agulowak where you can find plenty of fishing spots.
There is little information on the Web about Agulowak Lodge. In view of the guests who attend may have been a more private country house, hence the lack of information.
Please feel free to send if you have any questions regarding this post , you can contact on

Mission Statement
The Faculty & Staff Mentoring Program of the College of Nursing and Health Professions is dedicated to helping faculty and staff thrive in their roles by providing support and resources needed for ongoing professional growth.
A Workshop for USI Faculty
Thriving in Mid-Career: Strategies for Action
When: May 11, 2017, 8 am-2 pm - Continental breakfast and lunch will be provided
Where: USI University Center, Room 226 & 227
Speaker: Dr. KerryAnn O'Meara, Professor of Higher Education and Director of University of Maryland ADVANCE
Click here to RSVP no later than April 28, 2017
Goal of the workshop: Help USI faculty members – in particular those in mid-career – thrive in their roles by providing support and resources needed for ongoing professional growth. This workshop will explore career challenges faced by associate professors and by institutions trying to support them. Different needs of associates related to time in rank, career goals, and work-life integration will be discussed. We will look together at policies and practices that can be put in place by institutions, and career development strategies that can be taken by associates to help all groups succeed.
This workshop has a dual focus of goal setting and strategies for individuals and an audit of institutional practices that constrain and support associate professor agency.
About the Workshop Facilitator: Dr. KerryAnn O'Meara is Professor of Higher Education, Director of the ADVANCE Program for Inclusive Excellence, and Affiliate Faculty in Women's Studies at the University of Maryland, College Park. Dr. O'Meara received her BA in English Literature from Loyola University in Maryland, her MA in Higher Education from The Ohio State University, and her Ph.D. in Education Policy from the University of Maryland. KerryAnn spent two years working as a Research Associate at Harvard University's Project on Faculty Appointments, and six years on the faculty at the University of Massachusetts Amherst before joining the faculty at the University of Maryland College Park in Fall, 2007. She studies how faculty are retained and advanced within academic reward systems with the goal of improving higher education to be more equitable and inclusive of diverse faculty, and more supportive of newer forms of scholarship. She teaches courses on the Academic Profession, Organizational Change in Higher Education, Women in Higher Education, Ranking Systems in Higher Education and Doctoral Proseminar. KerryAnn's research, teaching and service are highly integrated and engaged. KerryAnn directs the University of Maryland ADVANCE program which aims to improve faculty work environments and advance gender equity. She collaborates with colleagues nationally and internationally to shape academic reward system reform to support newer forms of scholarship and equity minded reform in faculty roles and rewards.
Who should attend? USI faculty members. There will be no restriction on where the faculty is at in their particular career trajectory, as the strategies discussed in this workshop can be applied at any point.

Following bio. is based on "present time", some traits and statistics may differ between her and her past/future self.
Current Name
Shooting Star
The name has been decided based on her mother's name and follows the theme of stars in contrast to the sword theme from the male side of her family. The star theme originates from her ancestor's connection to nature and it is rumored that the star family theme existed all the way to when the pegasi raised the stars to the skies.
April 22nd
Note : This is the recorded date of when the first drawing of her was made.
Age Group/Size
Young Adult (~19 yo)
She is slightly shorter than average pony height.
Average would be the common size seen in the MLP:FiM show such as for the Mane6 and such.
Pony Type
Near Spirit Lake
Spirit Lake Sketch
Spirit Lake is a small area located a few miles within the coast of Shooting's home continent. This continent is located to the west across the ocean from Equestria and those who live on this continent focus more on connections with nature while Equestria begins to advance and modernize otherwise.
Current Residence
North Ponyville
House Sketch
Just within Ponyville enough to see the town but far enough to have a peaceful area to itself. Shooting's home is designed differently from those in Ponyville, using tile roofing instead and has an elevated wooden platform surrounding most of the perimeter of the house for sitting outside. It's two floors high and the house is comparable to an average suburban house. The main floor is mainly where Shooting receives and works on her jobs while the second is where most of the necessary room are located.
In Ponyville - Freelance Part-Time Worker
As a pony who finds her talent to simply demonstrate dexterity, and as well she much prefers getting multiple jobs instead of a single job, her method of approach this way works out the best. Activities tend to range from simply requiring an assistant, to have a role filled in, and more. There have been rather strange requests however from time to time.
At Spirit Lake - Spirit Whisperer
Shooting's mother helps communicate and take care of the spirit of Spirit Lake. Spirit Lake is well-known as a location that could calm the souls of any nearby and so by caring for the spirit, this magic may then be preserved. Shooting has learned how to communicate with the spirit, despite having moved on to a different life, but will display her ability whenever she visits back.
Cutie Mark
Two Arrows (of the Bow and Arrow variant)
Representing mastery of the sport of archery but as well to represent her high level of dexterity.
General Personality Traits
When comfortable around others, Shooting tends to act more mischievous and teases those around her. This gets her into trouble on occasion as she acts up a bit more than usual, and as well may lead to awkward/embarrassing situations (not at all aided when Shooting does not completely understand why sometimes). Although she may act on her own whim and seemingly take advantage of her friendship sometimes, she greatly appreciates the company of those who stick around.
When around acquaintances or strangers, Shooting can easily act more maturely and is very respective of others as she was raised as such when she was younger back on her home continent. Whenever convenient, Shooting tries to lend a hoof to anypony in need of it, although if she can't, she may end up ignoring them as she doesn't like to get involved with what she can't help in. However, if the hostility of who she meets is persistent, Shooting eventually demonstrates her anger in action if they're not careful. There's a level of sadism behind her actions, but this rarely occurs.
In extension of this sadism, Shooting has a tendency to favor the more psychotic mind of thinking when she's having either a bad or dominating mood. She's well aware of this however and still has relative self-control over her actions when she's like this. Nevertheless, it's still best not to mess with her while she's like this.
She is rather innocent in mind, and does not go any farther than the idea of a genuine romantic couple. She can however discuss topics related to 18+ content and such maturely no matter who is part of the discussion such as with relatives. She does get some odd tips from Violet Petal over time however on how to best approach it all however.
Relationship Status
Engaged with Broken Dawn (DarkMage2's OC)
Orientation : Bisexual, stallions preferred however
Shooting Star has a mother and father who live back in her home continent. Her mother Bright Star is a Pegasus who lives back home; Shooting Star occasional visits her from time to time. Her father Sabre is an Earth pony that travels by sea and goes out exploring the world. Shooting has yet to hear from Sabre for a long time so far.
Shooting's brother is named Cutlass who lives in Ponyville as a technician. Recent years have seen a boom in technological advances in Ponyville and Cutlass helps contribute by learning and modifying existing inventions. Shooting sometimes tries out new technology thanks to him, but Shooting prefers to stick with various old-fashioned technology instead.
Shooting has a pet ferret currently being taken care of by Cutlass, she tends to enjoy various cuddling and just simply hanging around. Her ferret tends to make Shooting act much more relaxed when around her, 'though this sometimes leads to Shooting focusing more on playing and petting the ferret than of those around her.
As her current residence is situated in Ponyville, Pinkie Pie is a guaranteed friend, although they don't normally chat unless they meet up by accident.
In recent years, new lands have been discovered, and new ponies have shown up around more (OC ponies of friends). Her relationship with all of them varies and will be discovered more in-depth whenever Shooting's story becomes available.
Outfits & Accessories
The ribbon is worn when Shooting Star was a filly, but she may still wear it when she returns to Spirit Lake. *Update* On occasion, she may also wear it as a normal accessory too.
Hoofwear is only for special occasions and sometimes for business, it goes well with dresses but Shooting tends to wear them by themselves. *Update* Thanks to Violet and friends, Shooting has started getting an actual closet of outfits for occasions now, although still rather limited as she is rather picky.
Leg bands are on the more rarer of occasions but has now been worn lately whenever she wears certain outfits of hers. Shooting's fashion sense generally follows accessories more than clothing overall.
Glasses is generally for business-only. The glasses don't really do anything other than make her look professional and perhaps a bit more attractive/cuter, she's aware that it does indeed have this effect when others see her wear it.
Shooting may carry around a bow and quiver, especially while out exploring. The variety and style may variate as she simply gathers the most convenient bow and quiver she can get, but generally she prefers the traditional-type, slightly modified so that she may hold the bow with her wings.
The outfits she may wear vary on the situation, sometimes she may dress in a tomboyish manner to confuse others but sometimes, although rarely, she may put on a dress or such.
Like Earth ponies, Shooting Star's genetics allows her to control the movement of her tail and as well can use her tail to sweep up small stuff. The drawback is that she is more sensitive to anypony touching her tail. Similarly, her wings have gotten some of this strength of control, which has allowed her to use her wings in a dexterous manner, yet as well the increased sensitivity in her feathers have made it so that she feels noticeably lasting pain from simply having a feather plucked.
The strength in her wings and tail is strong enough to act as a limb, and as such she can support herself with her wings and/or tail.
Her family from her mother's side has been helping and communicating with the spirit at Spirit Lake and as such the language to speak with them has been passed down to Shooting Star. The ability allows her to communicate with various spirits. This ability is not unique and may be passed on to anypony but is nonetheless an ability rarely found in others.
Her flying speed is below-average, despite her dexterity and strength with her wings, she's unable to fly too fast. Instead she at least has better control over turns, and can do tricky movement even within a confined area.
Shooting is raised with traditional items and therefore rarely uses any of the modern technology around her. Although she does not dislike modern items as she uses some for their convenience, she finds traditional and old items more comforting.
Can't swim, despite the fact she lives next to a lake, likes to hang out around ports and that her father's side explores and goes out to sea.
Although she rarely does it or ever wishes to do it around others, Shooting can sing. You can hear her hum a song or two once in a while. She wishes to learn how to play a wind or string instrument, but discovers she's only good with drums, not that she minds however.
The color blue
It's a cute fur-color in her opinion as well.
A nice little dessert, it's one of the first she's ever tried and now Shooting'll go for Flan anytime she can. It's not a common dessert however, so it took a bit of resource-gathering and convincing of Sugarcube Corner to try out some recipe suggestions from her. Shooting isn't a bad cook, but she isn't the best cook either.
Piano/Orchestral music
Summer season
Summer is the time when Shooting goes out exploring and going on trips much more than usual. It's also nice and warm and does not get too chilly during the nights.
Shooting prefers the night, as that is also when the stars are out. Sometimes, Shooting might just go out to simply look at the stars for a while and making various little connections of thoughts.
One of the recent technology invented is guns, although it has been carefully monitored and magically tagged to prevent misuse, it nonetheless strikes some fear in Shooting knowing that there is something that can invite a stronger power than her bow and that it could easily cause damage if it were to ever escape magic tags.
Otherwise, very few, Shooting tends to find the bright-aspect to most things and is rather tolerant. What she is however annoyed at is when someponies agitate her either by being too clingy or not clingy enough. There's as well the general distaste for bad things such as when someone has an un-found hatred towards something or somepony.
When Shooting Star was younger, she was much sweeter and would always help out her mother around the place. There was no nearby school, but it was unneeded as her parents taught her all that she knew. She was nonetheless secluded and was too shy to make any friends for a long time but did not mind really.
Cutlass was around to hang out with Shooting from time-to-time, but he tends to leave off with their father to Equestria instead.
Once Shooting Star learned to fly, she decided to try out various activities based on the objects her parents had. There was many sports and things she could do, but eventually she found herself having an affinity for archery as she quickly learned how to control her wings with finesse and strength.
Growing up, her interest in archery has died out, but she still uses archery from time-to-time especially when exploring in case.
Shooting Star is an OC designed by DShou
I was also planning on getting an ask-tumblr for her set-up too (even 'though most of these details won't apply to tumblr!Shooting yet), which I've only just finally got around to a few days ago - the information I keep adding here is a good guideline for myself of her, again I gotta keep things written since I apparently forget things about her myself quite a bit.
I must say I really enjoyed reading about your OC, and I can see all the effort put into creating that bio reflects back on how well you've drawn your OC over the year. I like the creativity and the idea of having an OC seems really fun after reading from yours, so much so that I think if I had my own it may motivate me better to draw more frequently. In fact, I'm sure its been half a year since I first gave serious thought to having one, and I think now might be a better time than ever.
I've had rough sketches and a few ideas thrown here and there over that time, but I need something to help wrap it all up. Would it be alright if I took your Bio's organized structure? By that I mean how you list occupation, residence, personality, but instead I fill it with my own bio made completely of my ideas for an OC. Organization is something I fail miserably at and I wouldn't want to make an OC with jumbled facts here and there. It just wouldn't be as engaging. Is it alright if I use your structure, but fill it with my own content?
Glad ya like her bio also x3
Thank you, and I think you have an excellent Bio! I'm afraid mine won't be so appealing. I plan on making up a practice OC, just to get a know of what its like, before making an official one. I think it would be easier to avoid serious mistakes on my official that way, and if the first isn't too bad I might keep it around for inspiration and drawing practice.
And thanks again. I'm sure I will be able to complete this in a much faster time now!
I'm not sure when I last actually read through the full bio, as there are several bits of info here that are new to me despite not being marked with *update*. For example, I knew she could manipulate things with her tail, but I didn't know that her tail is strong enough to support her own weight. I now have this image in my head of Shooting Star balancing on her tail in a Tigger-like manner, which I may very well draw at some point!
Oh right, made some hidden updates occasionally a while ago, don't remember which was new stuff or not, but yes indeedy she's got the tail strength!
Thank Earth pony geneticsss
once again, i feel compelled to say: "keep up the great work!"
I might do another art of her, and I might join my OC and some other guys' OCs. it'll be exciting.
plus I like her Background. like and Dislikes an'all.
Will be more excited in your Tumblr stuff!
Stupendous job, Shou!
How was that shouting?
. . . Can't I be excited for a program . . . ?
Uhm, I guess that could have been misinterpreted easily 'though -
sorry 'bout that.
You have gone through every aspect of her very being, so much so that she would make a great addition to the show.
I could never have dreamt up such a detail description for my OC ^^
Awesome work ^^
The extra touches like accessories makes her more cute. Are you going to make a story out of her?
Otherwise 'though it's fine if she doesn't personally since she can develop herself just fine as she did so far, and I'm not sure if I can get either of those two done for a long time.
