Performance management has been incorporated in every company's managerial structure, but often the process is subjected to hurdles. Therefore a pragmatic framework consisting of ten facets has been discussed.
The Decagon Antidote
1) Set Goals Effectively
Setting up of effective goals requires a plethora of factors to be taken into account. The crucial factors require the goals to be Specific, Measurable, Achievable Relevant and Time bound. A handy acronym to condense these factors is SMART.
2) Begin with Performance Planning
The managerial team and employees need to collaborate, document and discuss the relevant goals, to chalk out an action plan towards the achievement of these goals.
3) Ensure an Ongoing Process
It's vital to set the ball moving in terms of performance management by forming closed loops such as goal setting and performance planning. Performance planning is a closed loop by itself, which should be repeated timely with required changes.
4) Improve Productivity thorough Better Goal Management
Goal management primarily is about reviewing the set goals and marking its progress while constantly reforming based on change in factors.
Managers should pay attention to employee's inputs and incorporate them in changing the goals if required.
5) Gather Information from a Number of Sources
Objectivity can be achieved by accumulating important data with respect to call records, sales reports or deadline reports and a 360° feedback process which involves the fusion of employee feedback and self assessment.
6) Document, Document, Document
Documentation should contain events, which have occurred in the process of performance management.
These documents can aid as a timelines and as a reference during event reoccurrences.
7) Adequately Prepare and Train Your Managers.
Skill sets such as, dealing with employee motivation and behavior, awareness, and tackling conflicts is essential. Sensitizing managers towards employee comfort zones and competencies is imperative.
8) The Review
Preparation prior to the commencement of the employee meeting is crucial, past documents can be referred to streamline the process. The manager should pilot the meeting with a perfect balance between open mindedness and seriousness. It's important to note that irrespective of the proceedings of the meeting, it's mandatory that the employee will have to sign the appraisal.
9) Link Performance Management with Rewards and Recognition.
Fairness is important when equating performance to a system of rewards and recognition.
Transparent and clear documents bundled with formal and informal events marking the recognition among employees are essential in creating job satisfaction.
10) Evaluate and Encourage Full Participation and Success
To promote complete participation, a routine environment needs to be employed.
A Feedback system should be incorporated to every day elements tailored with the visibility of goals. An automated system can be adopted to provide further alignment.
Effective performance management is not always an easy task, but progressing towards a long-term vision by making manageable changes, step-by-step, will bring about significant results.

Phil Hellmuth Accepts Analyst Gig on WPT 'Raw Deal'3 years ago
21 Aug
He often complains of receiving raw deals while playing poker, but you will hear no complaints from Phil Hellmuth in accepting the position of analyst on the 'Raw Deal' broadcasts of the World Poker Tour.
The Poker Brat was announced by WPT as the newest member of the Raw Deal team, filling an opening created by the departure of Mike Sexton, who left the broadcast booth to take the reins as chairman of Party Poker. The previous Raw Deal analyst, Tony Dunst, will transition to the commentary booth as Vince Van Patten's sidekick.
"Becoming a part of the World Poker Tour family has been a career dream of mine," Hellmuth stated.
It's also likely a dream of his to win a WPT title, an honor that has eluded Hellmuth throughout an illustrious poker career that has spanned three decades. His 14 WSOP championships are second-to-none, as are his WSOP cashes record of 126.
In WPT events, Hellmuth has landed in the money 13 times, ascending to the final table in four of those tournaments. His WPT earnings have eclipsed $1 million, with his lifetime winnings in all live events over $21 million.
Love Him or Hate Him
Perhaps poker's most polarizing figure, Hellmuth attributes his "Poker Brat" persona to low self-esteem that developed during his formative years in an effort to please his parents while competing with his siblings. Hellmuth tells all in his new autobiography of the same name, which I am currently reading.
"Phil's insightful poker analysis comes with the right amount of edginess, and his poker resume speaks for itself," said WPT chief executive officer Adam Pliska.
Hellmuth's new gig will begin with WPT Season XVI at Choctaw. He has never been shy in stating his opinions, including criticizing other poker players. Phil has promised "no-holds-barred commentary and analysis" when he takes the microphone as Raw Deal's newest host.

Would you recommend this product?No reviews yet
I love the idea of passively surfacing events and things to do besides something you use ever day: your calendar. @uptogreg Chrome Extensions are often considered super niche and while the tech audience may love it, it's hard to build a big business (I think @benparr brought this up in another PH discussion a while back). What are you thoughts on this? Is the UpTo Extension a big focus for you or more of a "side project" to compliment your mobile app. P.S. Just added this to the Chrome Extensions collections.

@rrhoover thanks! Great question... agreed that plugins are currently pretty niche, but I think we're going to see more and more extension development and adoption. It's a powerful platform to build on, especially within the context of existing applications like Gmail and Google Calendar. We're focused on providing an awesome event discovery experience, within a user's calendar -- essentially tapping into daily habits around calendar usage. The user experience has always been really important to us and extensions allow us to provide a discovery experience that is a seamless part of your calendar, without adding any clutter to your primary calendar view. Up until now, we've been focused solely on our app as the calendar destination but we're now experimenting with making our content and discovery platform available across different calendar platforms. This is our first launch in that area.

@rrhoover @uptogreg My (very biased) opinion is that browser extensions are the most overlooked platform. You get some of the major challenges with mobile apps solved out of the box: 1) automatic contextual habit. I never have to remember Rapportive exists and I want to use it. It's just there when it can help. 2) LOW user churn (if you aren't annoying). Maybe it's just us but I haven't seen any mobile app with the retention #s we see. The one downside is less mature distribution channels and monetization strategies, outside of the ones that have given browser extensions a bad name. But if you can solve that part.... @cdixon Is there a better technology for the 'push' era? http://cdixon.org/2014/12/21/two...
@rrhoover @cdixon @ketau couldn't agree more. We're already seeing better engagement and higher frequency of use vs our mobile app. I attribute that to the "automatic contextual habit" of browser usage in general. And these benefits are amplified when the extension is built into a more specific daily habit -- Google Calendar use (UpTo), Gmail use (Rapportive), shopping (Honey).
Been using UpTo for Google Calender for a few weeks now. Love having it right alongside my calender without adding clutter.
Thanks @jtriest for posting! We're excited to share the Chrome / Google Calendar extension we've been working on with the PH community. One of the most popular features in our iPhone and Android calendar app has been our 'Discover' section which now has more than 30,000 calendars that you can follow - everything from sports schedules and TV shows to upcoming concerts, Meetups and movie releases. You can now follow any of our calendars alongside your Google Calendar, without any clutter. You can also publish your own public calendar for others to follow. Looking forward to everyone's feedback.
@daveambrose thanks - appreciate the support!
@uptogreg @jacobsmith88 what caused you to think that you should make an extension? How are you going to measure success w/ the extension and what decisions will that drive? been following UpTo since the beginning, so i'm excited to see this play out!
Upvote (4)
@eriktorenberg @jacobsmith88 thanks! the decision to do a Google Calendar extension was all about removing friction. We want to make it as easy as possible for people to engage with UpTo and follow UpTo calendars. We think our calendar app provides a great experience for passive event discovery on iPhone / Android using a layered approach, but we wanted to offer a similar experience on the web / desktop, without requiring that a user has to switch calendars. In terms of success metrics, we'll be closely monitoring engagement (calendar follows, event clicks, etc) and adoption to help determine what functionality, content and other platforms we'll be prioritizing on our roadmap.

|Portia Simpson Prime Minister
Andrew Holness speaking in Parliament on as Leader of the opposition Jamaica on the 2012-2013 Budget the new measures of taxing basic food items were "poison" and had the effect of further impoverishing the poor, "killing businesses" and reducing growth in the economy. "Madam Prime Minister, you played to the fears and vulnerability of the poor and told them you could do better. The people believed you and gave you power ... . With this tax package, the people are slowly coming to the view that you have deceived them".
In a sotto voce comment, a seemingly agitated Simpson Miller charged: "You wreck the economy and put us in this position. I will deal with you on Tuesday. Rubbish!"

Not everyone's favourite exercise but it can be very beneficial for any boxer at any level. You might feel awkward or self-conscious moving around punching the air and feeling like a goose but with the right focus and intent you can improve your technique, speed, accuracy, endurance, rhythm, footwork, offensive and defensive skills.
There are different ways we can shadow box and practice certain aspects of professional boxing;
Warming Up / Down
Specific punches / combinations
Body and head movements (slipping, weaving, rolling)
Defending / blocking / parrying
Foot work
Fight tactics / scenarios
When shadow boxing you don't have to worry about any external factors (your opponent, getting punched in the face, bag, focus mitts) you can just focus on balance, footwork, accuracy and technique by feeling the whole movement of your punches
So, next time you're shadow boxing remember you're doing it for a reason, not just for entertainment for the trainer! Think about these few tips when shadow boxing:
Stay on the balls of your feet
Knees bent
Hips and shoulders working together
Fist on your cheek bones
Elbows pointing down and tucked in
Chin down
If you ever have any questions, please just flick me an email

It's a fact: Philadelphia's 21 hits against Cincinnati were its most since getting 22 against San Diego in a game last August.
Who's hot: The Giants have a four-game winning streak at home after starting 1-7 at their new Pacific Bell Park.
Who's not: The Expos gave up 43 runs in the Rockies' three-game sweep.
On deck: The Diamondbacks' Randy Johnson goes for his seventh straight win to open the season tonight, looking to continue his dominance over the struggling Padres.

"Real" probably isn't the first word that comes to mind when you think of makeup—but it's the calling card for makeup pro Gita Bass. Her signature skin-forward approach to makeup and unguarded down-to-earthness have made her beloved by A-list celebrity clients like our brand activist Laura Dern…and pretty much everyone she comes in contact with. She opened up to us about why glowing skin is the ultimate foundation, how a serious health crisis made over her makeup kit and her life, and why getting real is more important than ever.
I was diagnosed with Lyme disease about four years ago, and on this very long road to healing, I changed a lot—cutting out gluten, dairy, sugar, and you know, trying to minimize stress, get more exercise, that sort of thing. But I felt there was a missing piece to the puzzle. After going to see lots of different doctors, I found an alternative doctor that really changed my life. She tested my blood and found a lot of toxins, including heavy metals, arsenic, and formaldehyde. When your body is overloaded like that, it makes it very hard to heal. My doctor said I needed to minimize my exposures, and an important place to start was beauty products. We don't have total control over eliminating our exposure to toxins, but we do have some control. That's why it's really important to take control of what we can, like skincare and makeup.
After the conventional Lyme test, which is often inaccurate, came back negative, I was told by my primary care doctor, "I think you just need some psychiatric help," which is so dangerous. I knew these symptoms weren't in my head. So, I just kept researching and seeing doctors. You really have to listen to your own body and advocate for your own health. I think we see each other on Instagram and all of our lives look so amazing, but we're all going through struggles. It's important to talk about them and support each other—that's why I'm empowered to share my story now. And I feel grateful to have found products that have really supported my health and healing.
Clear Pure Radiance Oil is the greatest thing that I've ever discovered. And it's become quite comical when I use it on my clients because it's really hard, generally, to get people to sit in the chair and relax. Getting your makeup done is quite a lengthy and intimate process, and people are often restless. But as soon as I take that oil out, everyone always has the same reaction: As soon as I put it on, people just take a deep breath. Then, they either look at me and say, "My God, I love this oil," or they say, "My God, what is that oil?" So it's a favorite for me and for my clients.
Using the oil with the gua sha stone. I've used a lot of vibrating tools and all sorts of devices for my face, but there is just something about the gua sha and the oil that feels kind of primal, you know what I mean? I look forward to doing it every night, and often in the morning if I have time. I love using it along my neck and especially the jaw, because I clench my teeth and build so much tension there. It feels amazing. And it's made such a difference in my skin. I don't do anything as far injectables, so I really rely on my skincare to do all the heavy lifting.
Makeup should enhance the beauty you have that comes from your health.
If your skin looks healthy, then your makeup is pretty much done. I don't like to hide behind makeup— I'm not that sort of makeup artist. I like to use it to enhance what's already there. Skin should always shine through. Also, you need a smooth surface for makeup to glide over. No makeup is going to look good over a surface that is uneven or dry. So, prepping your skin and having the right texture is crucial for having your makeup look good. The great thing about the oil is that it hydrates the skin and it gives it a really nice glow without leaving any grease or any residue on the skin.
I've noticed that I'm using less foundation and I'm switching to lighter formulas like tinted moisturizers. I also find that I need to use less powder, which really allows for the skin to shine through. That, to me, is key—I hate using powder and obviously I have to do it for TV and red carpets, but I'll use the minimum amount. There are clients that insist on using these heavy moisturizers, but the waxiness of the moisturizer will sit on the skin and then I'll need to blot with more powder, which just sits in the lines, makes skin look older, and gets rid of the glow.
When it comes to the products I use, I've become much more mindful and more informed. And my health journey really just underscored my philosophy that makeup should enhance the beauty you have that comes from your health. Makeup should never rob you of your health—it's counterproductive.
Humidity. My skin loves it when I'm in Australia and it's warm and it's humid and there's the sea breeze. That combination of ocean and humidity for me is a sweet spot when it comes to my skin, because it feels so hydrated. I grew up on Bondi Beach, and I'm such a water baby. The salt air sort of purifies and the humidity hydrates, and that to me is my favorite. That's my skin's happy place.

Pasta with Italian Sausage and Collard Greens
Collard greens, garlic, and red pepper flakes are tossed with browned turkey Italian sausage and pasta in this easy recipe for Pasta with Italian Sausage and Collard Greens. If you haven't warmed up to collards, use any type of greens you'd like! Use Pasta Recipes to find more recipes like this one.
Click here to PIN Pasta with Italian Sausage and Collard Greens!
This easy and delicious recipe for Pasta with Italian Sausage and Collard Greens was adapted from one of my most-used cookbooks, Mark Bittman's The Best Recipes in the World. I've been cooking from this book since I first discovered it in 2006, and haven't found a bad recipe yet.
My version of this classic dish uses nutritious dark green collard greens, and I'm also using turkey Italian sausage, since it's lower in fat and turkey is one of the Superfoods. I also used more collards and sausage in proportion to the macaroni to make this more nutritious. When I first made Hopping John Soup I discovered how much I liked collard greens, and the only thing I might change when I make this again is to double the collard greens for even more veggie goodness. You could also use less pasta and more sausage and collards if you want to make this a lower-carb recipe.
(Pasta with Italian Sausage and Collard Greens was updated with greatly improved photos and better instructions, April 2013.)
If you're starting with uncooked turkey Italian sausage, first simmer them in a small amount of water until the sausage is barely cooked and firm. While sausage cooks, cut the collards into ribbons and wash in a salad spinner (or in the sink.) Cook the collards for about 5 minutes in a pot of boiling water. Slice the cooked sausage into rounds.
Brown sausage in a generous amount of olive oil. (The oil stays in the pan to saute the garlic, red pepper flakes, and greens, and it seasons the pasta, so don't cut it down.) When the collards have cooked 5 minutes, remove them from the water, add salt, bring back to a boil, and add the the macaroni (or other pasta shape) to the same water and cook until it's barely al dente. Then drain well, saving about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water. Remove the browned sausage and add the garlic and red pepper flakes to the olive oil and cook for a couple of minutes.
Then add the collard greens and cook until they're heated through, about 2 minutes more. Add the sausage and pasta into the pan with barely enough pasta cooking water to moisten the dish and cook just until the pasta and sausage are heated. Serve hot, with freshly grated Parmesan cheese to pass at the table.

David Wolfsohn Was Once Chairman of International Committee
LONDON, Sept. 16. - Word has been recived in London from Homburg of the death of David Wolfsohn, the well known Zionist, who was at one time Chairman of the International Zionist Committee.
Dr. Wolfsohn made the opening and closing speeches at the International Zionist Congress held at The Hauge in 1907. In his closing address he pleaded for greater unity among the Jews and said that eventually they must conquer the world.
Wolfsohn was Theodore Herzl's successor as leader of World Zionism

Great post, thanks! Sharing.
The following exact quotes are from the founder of Zionism, Theodor Herzl's 1896 book "Der Judenstaat" aka "The Jewish State"
It is subtitled with "Versuch einer modernen Lösung der Judenfrage" that is "Proposal of a modern solution for the Jewish question".
It was originally called "Address to the Rothschilds"
You can find a copy to review for yourself at: https://archive.org/search.php?query=the+jewish+state&page=2
1. "When we sink, we become a revolutionary proletariat, the subordinate officers of all revolutionary parties; at the same time, when we rise, there rises also our terrible power of the purse."
2. " . . . the longer Anti-Semitism lies in abeyance the more fiercely will it break out."
3."Universal brotherhood is not even a beautiful dream. Antagonism is essential to man's greatest efforts."
And when I read the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion all this makes sense. The lunatics occupying Palestine at this moment are bent on control of the world and, in fact, control the USCORP..., while the 'taxpayer' give them 3 or 4 billion plus perks per year.
Oh but there would be no profit and power in that, Karl.
We're at the point where we make the choice, to fight or get on our knees and be cursed by future generations.
A pity some of us don't have a 108 year old blueprint, maybe for peace, liberty and abundance.
It would certainly be more sucessful than the ZNWO nightmare.
Where are the we?

One of the most celebrated female journalists in Africa and youngest former Sunday Punch Newspaper Female Editor, Oluwatoyosi Ogunseye has resumed office as the head of British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC, West Africa).
It'd be recalled that he appointment was disclosed in a statement on Wednesday, December 20, 2017 that the East African languages team would be led by Kenyan -based Rachel Akidi Okwir , while Nigeria' s Toyosi Ogunseye would head its West African counterpart , managing Afrique, Hausa , Igbo, Pidgin English and Yoruba languages.
Oluwatoyosi Ogunseye is a Nigerian editor and journalist who distinguished herself as a core investigative journalist, which made her won more awards than any journalist at her age. She is also a Mandela Washington Fellow.
She started as a student journalist as a second year student of the department of Biochemistry, University of Lagos when Musa Egbemana gave her a shot at reporting news happening in University of Lagos to be published on The Sun Newspaper at the time when Femi Adesina (now head, presidential media team) was the editor in 2004.
Toyosi later moved to News Star Newspaper as a senior correspondent in 2007. In 2009, she joined The Punch Newspaper as the sub-assistant editor for news and politics till 2012.
At The Punch, Toyosi specialized in crime on both local and international levels, and environmental issues.
Ogunseye is the youngest and first female editor in the 40-year history of Sunday Punch, a widely read Lagos newspaper. In a three-part series, she proved that residents in a well-to-do community in Lagos had high levels of toxins in their blood caused by pollutants from a nearby steel plant. The coverage prompted the government to shut down the plant, and to allow it to reopen only under strict new regulations.
Her investigation into the death of a student who fell into a pit latrine resulted in a government initiative to replace the dangerous facilities. Another of her stories revealed how a nuclear power plant was about to be built in a poor neighborhood. After her piece ran, citizens mobilized, sued the government and stopped construction.
Her story on how newborns were dying at a top Nigerian hospital due to lack of adequate facilities forced the hospital to buy more incubators for high-risk infants.
Ogunseye is a biochemistry graduate of the University of Lagos, earned a post-graduate diploma in print journalism from the Nigerian Institute of Journalism and a master of science in media and communications from the Pan African University.
She is currently completing a PhD in politics and international relations from the University of Leicester in England.

Toyosi keep soaring.

Pollutant emissions measurement on running vehicles
The challenges of reducing pollutant emissions and the environmental impact of vehicles and machines are nowadays one of the main national and international concerns. CRMT started to specialize in the field since 2005 and was the first French company to introduce the PEMS (Portable Emissions Measuring System) technology. The demand for expertise in this field has steadily increased since Dieselgate (2015).
Today, CRMT is a nationally recognized expert, working with the biggest truck manufacturers and operators. The company's expertise has been recognized by the main French energy institutions such as ADEME and IFSTTAR ...
Service for vehicles and machines under real-driving conditions (RDE, ISC, NRMM, R&D…)
Pollutant emission measurements activity consists of instrumenting a vehicle with PEMS or CEMS equipment and carrying out on-board measurement campaigns under real driving conditions. Each measurement campaign will be carried out on defined routes to collect data (consumption, pollutant emissions) under actual operating conditions for a few days and up to several years depending on the project's objective.
More than a test, a measurement campaign is a collaborative project between CRMT and each client that aims to provide recommendations and respond to issues raised by customers from the analysis of data collected.
CEMS technology (Continuous Emissions Measurement System)
CEMS technology allows measurement over long periods (several years) without hindering the commercial operation of the vehicle (safe transport of passengers or goods).
Measured pollutants : NOx, CO2, presence of NH3
CEMS was designed and developed by CRMT for the Projet Equilibre in order to meet the operational needs of the project which were not achieved by PEMS equipment. More information
PEMS technology (Portable Emissions Measurement System)
PEMS technology allows for high precision measurements for R&D purposes and engine certification cycles (ISC, RDE, EMNR) for a few days and in real traffic conditions.
Measured pollutants : CO, HC, NOx, CO2, NO2, particles (PN)
Analysis and expertise
Data analysis allows transport operators, elected officials, private laboratories, engine manufacturers, or governments to have reliable and scientific results from vehicles in a REAL operating conditions. These results enhance the decision-making process in terms of :
- Consumption reduction,
- Pollutant emissions management and diminution,
- Review the current operating strategy,
- Definition of a strategy for setting up new vehicles,
- Identification of the fuel with the best economic / environmental compromise
The results can also be the subject of a technological benchmark. Discover the results
For any other type of engine performance measures and / or specific developments, please contact us, we will be pleased to develop your projects with you.

STJ Panuthos has a designated hitter today, examining the fine line between deductible damages and nondeductible fines. Here's Edwin L. Gage & Elaine R. Gage, Docket No. 23874-17, filed 11/6/18 (and I do hope you US persons voted today).
The problem was a nursing home where Ed & Elaine personally guaranteed a HUD-insured refi. Of course there was a regulatory agreement, which HUD claims Ed & Elaine and partners violated, making away with assets and cash.
This Ed & Elaine strenuously denied, but settled the litigation HUD brought by paying HUD $875K. IRS had sued for double damages per 12 U.S.C. §1715z-4a, as well as "federal common law" damages for wrongful use of the project assets and income.
"The settlement agreement also contained a provision that nothing in the agreement constituted a representation or agreement by the government concerning the characterization of the settlement amount for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code." Order, at p. 2.
Ed & Elaine took the $875K they paid HUD as a deduction per Section 162(a) "ordinary and necessary."
IRS says no, it's a fine.
STJ Panuthos: "Section 162(f), however, proscribes a deduction under section 162(a) for any fine or similar penalty paid to a government for the violation of any law. Section 1.162-21(b)(1)(iii)), Income Tax Regs., defines fine or similar penalty to include an amount paid in settlement of the taxpayer's actual or potential liability for a civil or criminal fine or penalty. Section 1.162-21(b)(2) of the regulations, on the other hand, provides that compensatory damages paid to a government do not constitute a fine or penalty." Order, at p. 2.
Awarding double damages is permissible and punishes or deters wrongdoing, but that's within the trial court's discretion; this trial court didn't say anything about that. And damages for wrongful use (which is unjust enrichment by another name) is compensatory, not punitive or deterrent.
Both Ed & Elaine, and IRS, wants summary J. Neither side is getting it.
"Among other things, upon reviewing the motion papers and materials offered in the instant case by petitioners and respondent, the Court concludes that genuine issues of material fact exist, including as to: (1) the characterization and purpose of the $875,000 settlement payment made by petitioners to the government; (2) whether that $875,000 payment represented compensation to the government or double damages; and (3) if that $875,000 payment represents double damages, whether the parties to the settlement agreement intended the payment to compensate the government for its losses or to deter and punish defendants for their conduct." Order, at p. 3 (Citations omitted, but one is important.)
In Frensius [sic; should be "Fresenius"] Medical Care Holdings, Inc. v. United States, 763 F.3d 64, at pp. 69-70 (1st Cir. 2014), 1 Cir blew off IRS' argument that, absent explicit agreement on tax characterization, the payment is not deductible. If the parties leave the question open, it's our old friend "what did the parties really settle, not what they say (or didn't say) they settled."
See my blogpost "An Unsettling Settlement," 10/3/11
No summary J.

According to Aaron Wilson of the National Football Post, Eastern Washington running back Taiwan Jones is proving to be a young man in demand. Jones is visiting the Miami Dolphins today and also has upcoming visits scheduled with the 49ers and the Raiders according to a league source with knowledge of the situation. Jones has already met with the Philadelphia Eagles and has meetings with the Cardinals, Dolphins and the Chiefs. The Panthers are also believed to have interest.
Jones wowed NFL teams at his pro day last week, running between 4.28 and 4.35 in the 40-yard dash. Jones also registered a 40-inch vertical leap and an 11-foot broad jump. He had a 42-inch vertical leap, but it was scratched due to a foot placement. He started his college career as a cornerback and has outstanding speed for his size (6'1″, 200 lbs). He was expected to work out at the Scouting Combine but was unable to do so due to a broken left foot, which has now completely healed. Jones is not considered a first round candidate but is expected to go between the second and fourth rounds of the draft-and his pro day is undoubtedly shooting him up the charts.
Jones rushed for 1,742 yards and 14 touchdowns last season and was named Big Sky Conference Co-Offensive Player of the Year, declaring early for the draft.

To help you understand how full-time nursery places might be allocated at your school, we have tried to answer some of the more common questions below.
Some schools will continue to offer full-time places, whilst others will only offer part-time places. To find out what kinds of places are available at your school, you should contact them directly. A list of schools can be found via the schools admissions page.
All parents who want a nursery place should apply by contacting their preferred school and finding out how to do so. You cannot apply via the council.
The full-time place admission criteria will be published in the council's primary education booklet. You can also request a copy of the criteria directly from the school.
Criteria varies from school to school, but for all schools, certain children will be given priority:
After these 2 categories, places will be offered to children in circumstances where the headteacher or governing body of the school considers a full-time place could be beneficial, based on the following:
Schools are being asked to publish how they will allocate places under this 3rd category. Please check with each school as to which ones they are using.
Allocating full-time places will be based on an assessment of the best interest of each child.
If you have any further questions about the allocation of full-time nursery places, please contact your school.

the playground
There was no wind. Laughter floated through still air. Little voices tossed giggles at each other then tagged, skipped and climbed. Each caught the other's giggle, which transformed into screams of delight. At night, the swing sat lonely, unmoving, longing to be touched by a light breeze. On this hot summer afternoon, just after the church bell rang, the playground bustled with life. Old men sat cross legged on park benches, or in front of stone slab chess tables, heads hung low. Their heads did not raise as the children ran by grabbing balls and catching frisbees. There was no time. There was a checkmate in the future that needed to be attended to. Besides, mothers and fathers were on hand, ready to put hands over cuts or bruises–bandaids and tissue lined many pockets. But they weren't remembered. All that was remembered were the little hands touching this, climbing that, running here, running there, lying on backs to look up at the sun, all against mother's wishes. There was no time for hands in pockets to remember little accidents that might happen. Still, they always did.

Arrest made in connection with shooting death from weekend
UPDATE 11/04/2019 5:33 p.m.:
An arrest has been made in connection with a murder in Panama City over the weekend.
The Bay County Sheriff's Office confirmed to our sister station WTVY in Dothan, Alabama, investigators interviewed a person in Geneva County. They say after interviewing Adolfo Mancilla Cuevas, 40, he was arrested and charged with accessory after the fact for murder.
Authorities expect additional charges and arrests in this case.
Jesus Ivan Barreiro-Cruz, 33, was the victim of an apparent homicide Sunday morning in Panama City.
Bay County Sheriff's officials say they responded to a call Sunday morning at 8:15 to investigate an unresponsive man slumped over in a van outside a trailer on North East Avenue in Panama City.
At this time, investigators believe the homicide was not a random act, but they do believe it was an isolated incident. The investigation is ongoing.

Personnel changes have brought parity to Victory Lane in NASCAR
Yet there is hope for them and others as the series heads to Kansas Speedway this weekend. Six different winners in this season's first seven races (Tony Stewart is the only repeat victor) provides that optimism and follows a season that had 18 different winners in 36 races.
So what's going on?
A power shift has taken place in the sport. Balance has replaced dominance. With the competition so close, one move can lead to Victory Lane or drop a team to the back of the pack.
In the last 62 races, dating to Daytona in July 2010, Roush Fenway Racing and Stewart-Haas Racing each has won a series-high 11 races. Joe Gibbs Racing and Richard Childress Racing are next with 10 each. Penske Racing and Hendrick Motorsports both have six victories. Earnhardt Ganassi has three wins, and no other team has more than one.
Matt Kenseth wondered before this season how downsizing from four to three teams -- and losing some personnel -- would impact Roush's organization. He noted that former crew members working elsewhere carried the knowledge of what worked at Roush, so "if you do have any kind of an advantage, you probably lose a little bit of that.''
So far this season Roush has managed. Kenseth won the Daytona 500 and Greg Biffle hit Victory Lane Saturday night at Texas Motor Speedway to snap a 49-race winless streak. Edwards, who nearly won the title last year, has yet to lead a lap this season.
Stewart-Haas Racing, which added Greg Zipadelli as competition director in the offseason, has thrived with three victories this season yet was not competitive with either of its cars at Texas. Stewart has won twice with new crew chief Steve Addington.
Joe Gibbs Racing partnered with Toyota Racing Development on race engines and has won with Denny Hamlin, who has Darian Grubb as his new crew chief. Busch and teammate Joey Logano, though, remain winless this year.
So who will be the next driver to win his first race of the season? Here are five to consider and all could win this weekend.
? Jimmie Johnson. Once a regular in Victory Lane, Johnson has two wins in his last 51 starts. While that would make a career for some, that's a drought to Johnson, who once averaged a win about every five starts from 2004 to '10.
He was poised to win at Martinsville before he was spun on a late restart and led late at Texas until Ryan Newman's lapped car stalled Johnson's momentum, allowing Biffle to close and get by.
Johnson won at Kansas last fall and is one of four drivers who have finished in the top 10 in both 1.5-miles races this season (Las Vegas and Texas). Johnson finished second in both races.
"We've been really close over the last five or six months,'' he said. "You look through last year even through different points, [we were] leading a lot of races and didn't execute at the end for whatever reason. It's nice to be running well. It's nice to be in this position. But I want to get back to our winning ways really soon.''
? Dale Earnhardt Jr. He was strong at Las Vegas, finishing 10th partly because of a pit call that backfired and left Earnhardt mired in traffic the rest of the race. Another sign of his strength is that he finished third at Auto Club Speedway, a 2-mile oval where horsepower and aerodynamics are important. While his 10th-place finish at Texas might be easy to overlook, consider what Earnhardt said afterward.
"The setup we ran we've never ran before,'' he said. "And it's extremely unique compared to what we typically run at this place [Texas]. And we didn't fare as well as our teammates did who were on the standard things that we normally run. We'll probably kind of go back and work on what's been working.
"We'll have to test it somewhere and work on it some more and see if it's got any promise, but we're just trying to get better and trying to get to where we can win races and you've got to go out and try things and do things. You can't keep doing the same things and expect to get better. So we're just trying to do better."
? Martin Truex Jr. While Michael Waltrip Racing's last win came in 2010, this organization has been building.
The team was inconsistent at Las Vegas and Auto Club Speedway in years past, placing only one of its three cars in the top 10 in each event before Truex finished sixth and teammate Mark Martin was third at Texas Saturday night.
"Every time we'd tighten it up, we would lose a ton of grip and not gain rear,'' Truex said after Saturday night's race. "Just could never get it perfect. Still, even with that, it was a second- or third-place car, at worst.''
This is a new phenomenon for Truex and MWR. This was an organization that seemed to find ways to lose races but now is moving closer to what it takes to win. Dating to late last season, Truex has three top-10 finishes in the last four races on 1.5-mile speedways. His return to Victory Lane for the first time since 2007 could be coming very soon.
? Kevin Harvick. He seemed set for a top-five run Saturday, at least until a slow pit stop cost him several spots and he couldn't get back to the front. If this team can eliminate such issues, he has the car to contend for victories. He did finish sixth at Kansas last year, marking his third consecutive finish of 11th or better there.
"The good thing is we have had speed in the car every week,'' Harvick said. "We hadn't put it all together but the cars have been fast enough.''
? Carl Edwards. It is surprising that he's yet to lead a lap this season. Still, it's hard to discount him because of how well Roush cars run at 1.5-mile tracks. Kansas Speedway carries as much importance to Edwards, a Missouri native, as Daytona does to his competitors. He has five consecutive top-10 finishes at Kansas.
"There would be no bigger win on the circuit than Kansas for me,'' Edwards said.
Every driver will be vying for the win at Kansas, but only one will hit Victory Lane. Don't be surprised if the driver celebrating Sunday is doing so for the first time this year.

I requested a vote by mail ballot a few weeks ago, and I was excited to see it in the mail today.
I opened it up and the sample ballot is in English, but the official ballot is in Spanish. Wtf? Yes, I'm Hispanic, but I don't read or speak Spanish. Nor does my dad who also received a Spanish one. We've never requested anything to be sent to us in Spanish, and on the website it says you have to call if you need a ballot in a language other than English. Did they just assume based on where we live, and/or our last name that we needed a Spanish one?
I also helped request vote by mail ballots for other relatives who don't read Spanish. I hope they don't have the same issue.

In this short commentary in the N&O, the editors continue to mindlessly recommend a larger government role in America's economy. They observe that teen unemployment stands at remarkably high rates (as is to be expected in a recession), and their recommendation is, of course, more government!
President Obama plans a White House "Forum on Jobs" next month, and here's an item that ought to be on the agenda: summer jobs for young people.
It's not as if there's nothing to do. Across America, parks and public facilities have been neglected for years. North Carolinians need look no farther than the Blue Ridge Parkway for an example. The Civilian Conservation Corps worked wonders in the Great Depression, and something similar, with a summer-jobs orientation, would help in the Great Recession.
Curiously – yet completely predictably – missing from the article is that pesky little detail – how will these jobs be paid for? Where do the N&O editors think the money will come from to corral thousands of youths into government make-work jobs?
It's yet another classic case of the "seen vs. the unseen." It will be easy to see the teenagers put to work cleaning and improving public parks. But what of those jobs that will be lost or never created because the money to finance the temporary summer jobs is taken out of the productive private sector of the economy? Make-work jobs merely consume resources that could otherwise have been used for productive investment by businesses and entrepreneurs – investment toward future job growth and income gains. Such policies will only serve to prolong the recession and dampen any chances at recovery.
If the N&O editors are truly concerned about teenage unemployment they would advocate policies that would actually foster recovery and economic growth, not short-term band-aids that "feel good" but actually hurt the economy. They would also advocate removing some of the barriers to teen employment – such as the law that criminalizes voluntary labor agreements below an arbitrarily chosen dollar amount (the minimum wage), which prices many inexperienced youth out of the labor market.

SUPPLEMENTARY TABLES (TableS2.xls; Table S4.xls)
BACKGROUND: this paper is based upon work from COST Action ICSHNet. Industrial contaminated sites (ICSs) are of high concern since industrial plants have produced widespread contamination potentially affecting the health of local population
OBJECTIVES: to assess the types of epidemiological designs applied in studies of health effects related to ICSs according to time periods, type of ICS, and geography.
METHODS: a literature search was conducted in Medline (OVID) through June 30th, 2018, using MeSH and customized terms, and no restrictions on publication year or language. We included all studies throughout the world where a potential contamination of industrial origin occurred, an epidemiological approach (including biomonitoring, HBM) was applied, and health outcomes or exposure biomarkers among residents were investigated. Data on publication year, geographical localization and ICS characterization, study design (systematic reviews, cohort, case-control, temporal changes, cross-sectional, ecological, descriptive – area-level, case-series, narrative reviews, and HBM), and health outcomes were extracted from the abstracts. To check the sensitivity of the main search strategy, a case-study on Italy was conducted applying an ad-hoc search.
RESULTS: from a literature search capturing 5,485 studies, 655 studies on resident populations were identified. The review includes more than 376 different ICSs, 86% from Europe, North America, and Asia combined, mostly dealing with nuclear sites and mining industries, waste and petrochemical activities. Most of the studies were descriptive (32.5%), cross-sectional (16.3%), or narrative review (14.8%), while analytical studies – case-control and cohort studies (9.6% and 8.4%, respectively) – were rarer; HBM were only 6.9%. A total of 235 studies, conducted mostly in Asia (34.5%), Europe (25.5%), and North America (22.3%), included children. The most frequently studied outcome was cancer (33.7%), followed by respiratory diseases (11.4%), and reproductive health (11.4%). The ad-hoc strategy greatly increased the number of detected papers (+122%).§
CONCLUSIONS: future research should adopt the most valid and suitable study design, according to the area-specific social and environmental context, also in areas of the world which are less studied, but with very high environmental worries of the resident population suffering the industrial contamination. Involvement of local experts on ICSs and local inventories are recommended to improve the coverage of the present inventory.
Keywords: environmental epidemiology, industrially contaminated sites, residential exposure, study design
What is already known
- Industrially contaminated sites (ICSs) involving a variety of hazardous agents are found in almost all Countries of the world, as pollutants are intentionally or accidentally released into the environment.
- For the purpose of identifying studies referred to contaminated sites, there is the need to have a standard definition of the term 'contaminated site' or the adoption of common keywords related to 'contaminated sites', not available at the moment.
- Different approaches in environmental epidemiology have been used to study the health effects of ICSs on the local communities.
What this paper adds
- The present extensive literature search provided an inventory of 762 publications summarizing the effect of 376 different ICSs, with higher quality study designs increasing over time.
- To improve the sensitivity of search strategies, a collaboration with local experts is needed to identify local ICS names and inventories.

Cancer Sometimes Can Be Detected Before It Causes Symptoms
Checking for cancer in people who do not show any symptoms is known as screening. Early screening enables doctors to treat cancer effectively because cancer treatment is more successful if the disease is diagnosed at an early stage. However, it is to be noted that not all types of cancer can undergo screening tests and a few of these tests are only conducted on people with specific genetic risks.
It is very important to understand the fact that when a cancer screening test is suggested by a doctor it does not necessarily mean that the test will show a positive result. Cancer Screening tests are done even when patients show no signs of cancer.
There are different types of cancer screening tests.
- Physical exam and history: when receiving a physical examination a general body check is done to look for abnormal signs including lumps or anything else that seems a bit unusual to the doctor. They take into consideration the basic habits of a patient, past illnesses and family history for better analysis.
- Laboratory Test: This procedure tests samples of blood, tissue, urine and other substances in the body.
- Imaging procedure: This procedure generates pictures or areas within the body.
- Genetic Test: This tests look for certain changes in the genes that are associated with some types of cancer.

Let you advertise a URL (HTTP or HTTPS), and is designed for interacting with the Physical Web. Nearby Notifications can also show HTTPS URLs broadcast from Eddystone-URL devices, although Eddystone-URL does not support app intent or app install URLs. We recommend using a URL redirector to enable the use of longer URLs, and to make it possible to update the URL after the beacon is deployed. When using this frame type, you cannot register the beacon with Google. Once you have provisioned the beacon, no further steps are required.
Nearby Notifications and Physical Web on Chrome require HTTPS URLs.
If you provisioned your beacons using Eddystone-UID, continue to the next step. If you provisioned your beacons using Eddystone-URL, you're done!
Next, register ownership of your beacons with the Google Beacon Registry. To do this, use the Beacon Tools app, available for Android and iOS.
To register the beacon:
>>Launch the app and select the Google Developer project you want to use.
>>Position your device near the beacon. You should see a list of beacons.
>>Select the beacon you want to register, then tap Register Beacon. The beacon should then appear under theRegistered tab.
These are the options for associating attachments with beacons (choose one):
>>Use the Google Beacon Dashboard
>>Use the Beacon Tools.
Use the Google Beacon Dashboard
The Google Beacon Dashboard is the easiest way to associate attachments with your beacons.
Follow these steps to add an attachment using the Google Beacon Dashboard:
1. Go to the Google Beacon Dashboard.
2. Select your project from the list of Google Developers Console projects.
3. Select your beacon from the list.
4. Enter details for your beacon in the provided form.
Use the Beacon Tools
1.Find your Eddystone-UID in the UNREGISTED list.
2.Add description.
3.Back to find the UID in the REGISTED list, click and add attachment.
Attachment Data format
Attachments for the Nearby Notifications feature must use the com. google. nearby namespace, and a type consisting of the two-letter language code
For example: com. google.nearby/en
Attachments should be formatted using JSON. For example:
"title": "Example",
"url": "https://www.example.com"
If your web URL isn't triggering a notification the most likely causes are:
>>Using HTTP instead of HTTPS
>>Linking to app store such as play.google.com is prohibited. The web page should stand on it's own and offer useful information or actions on the landing page directly.

Hotel offerings are changing as we speak, and the top cutting-edge hotels are moving at lightening speed into the future. Here are some peeks into the hotels of tomorrow.
The physical space. Several trends are changing the hotel room as we know it. First, flexibility is key. Hotel meeting spaces need to be adaptable to different ideas and able to yield to inspiration. In-between spaces are also becoming more common: areas outside the conference room for small groups, informal chatter and light work.
For example, ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas has opened an additional 200,000 square feet of flexible meeting space across four stories. The expansion is highlighted by stunning indoor/open-air verandas with retractable windows and dramatic views of The Park and T-Mobile Arena. The new space incorporates outdoor offerings, superb views, additional natural light and non-traditional meeting areas. Pictured above is Aria's Primrose Ballroom, part of the expansion.
Physical spaces are trending to the more inspirational - not just four walls to contain people, but with artistic, unique and inspired design. "One of the advantages of a meetings destination like Las Vegas is that we're on the forefront of every trend, and our hotels are ahead of the curve," says Rossi Ralenkotter, president/CEO of the Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority.
Amenities. Hotels are in an all-out breakneck quest to provide new and "wow-inducing" amenities, from high-end brand name bath amenities to customized wellness stays to race car rentals. Fitness centers are fast becoming as good as any gym, with cutting-edge equipment, personal trainers and customized workouts. For example, CanyonRanch SpaClub® Las Vegas has expanded the concept of a healthy resort and includes registered dieticians, board-certified physicians, exercise physiologists, licensed therapists and other highly skilled, caring staff.

Every Tuesday night leading up to the Nov. 6 presidential election, Cemex Auditorium was packed with a mixed student population of undergraduate, graduate and continuing studies students. The course's 600-plus students listened to panels of policymakers and academics discussing the presidential election, with discussions moving online through Piazza and class sessions being broadcast using iTunes U.
Looking back on the first elections class of its kind at Stanford, course lecturers David Kennedy, professor of history, Rob Reich and Jim Steyer, professors of political science, and students agree the class was innovative but far from perfect.
POLISCI 51K was open to enrolment for continuing studies students, giving the class more diversity than almost all other Stanford classes.
"I think it added a great component in that it really allowed for a great range of perspective around our democracy and our election," said Laura Phelps, a continuing studies student.
"You never really get that much exposure to adults and adult conversation in Stanford classes," said Maxine Litre '13. "[The more diverse student body] was able to speak about the sentiment of past elections the way none of us could."
Brianna Pang '13 agreed that the mixed student composition added a wider range of perspectives.
"If you're only taking classes with people who are around your age, you tend to have kind of the same thoughts," she said. "I think with the older population there, they have more experience and just have different ideas because they're at a different stage of life, so it sparked more discussion."
Unfortunately, dialogue between continuing studies students and undergraduates could not continue online.
"I was eager to try to facilitate cross-generational political conversations or debate," Reich said. "People sat in the same room together, but we couldn't put them in the same discussion forum for legal reasons, apparently."
University lawyers advised Reich that putting continuing studies students and undergraduates in the same forum could breach privacy laws. By the time Reich was informed of this problem, it was too late to find other ways to have all students in the same online forum, like having everyone sign a waiver.
Legal issues also prevented some classroom discussion. Because of the class's presence online, all students would have had to sign a waiver if one spoke and was captured on camera or recorded.
"I think [student diversity] was a big plus, but a lot of the value of that arrangement was compromised by our inability to have wide classroom discussion," Kennedy said. "So that's another way that I regret we couldn't take questions from the floor and provide for more interaction in the room."
Students and professors also had mixed reactions to the course's use of Piazza. Many students felt that the online discussion forum allowed for fascinating, engaging dialogue, but the program was far from perfect.
"The online system, I think, added a much fuller class and full participation despite it being so overwhelming in numbers," Phelps said.
Through Piazza, students posted questions before class, helping speakers address important points and opening up questions to a broader group of students.
"Online forums can be really good for facilitating the interaction and contribution of students who are a little less inclined to jump into conversations in person," Reich said.
However, despite the great opportunity Piazza provided for class discussion, it left some students feeling dissatisfied. Along with other students, George Saba '15 found difficulty navigating the interface.
"It wasn't the most clear program, I thought, because there were so many different topics to choose from," he said. Piazza also deactivated the "upvote" function, a button that allowed users to vote on the best comments or questions, partway through the course.
Reich noted the nature of online course-hosting software tends to be more useful for science and technology fields: For example, Piazza's interface had radio buttons to click on when the correct answer has been found despite the fact that political discussion does not always have a right answer.
"It served to confirm a worry that I had that a lot of what exists in online learning has been built with the subject matter of engineering or math or computer science in mind," he said. "The humanities and social sciences have been neglected…Clearly there's a need for an open-ended discussion board."

On Thursday evening Brisbane were invited to celebrate the King of Pop with a sensational performance showcasing the best of the Jackson 5.
Coming direct from one of the world's most vibrant theatre districts, London's West End, Thriller Live brought an incredible level of energy and excitement to the stage.
The international cast of performers, dancers and remarkable vocalists captivated the audience with a flair for the phenomenal pop music of the 1970's.
Hits included ABC, Billie Jean and Beat It, with a fantastic spotlight on guitarists Damien Cooper and Michael Mondesir who boasted instrumental techniques that made the crowd go wild.
Thriller Live entranced the audience with leading vocals by some of Australia's own talent, including rising star Prinnie Stevens who has a strong background in musical theatre.
However Brisbane's Michael Jackson fans roared with enthusiasm and excitement as UK born Sean Christopher performed draw-dropping solo's, moonwalks and incredible choreography that payed tribute the King of Pop himself.
Thriller Live pulled out all the stops to create an energetic setting for crowd involvement. Crazed fans and guests mimicked the superstar dance moves and joined in the songs themselves.
The show remained on a constant high throughout the evening, delivering a tribute to Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 with a theatrical display of disco lighting, jaw dropping choreography and astonishing vocals.
