Activity Roles have activities that define the work they perform. An activity is something that a role does that provides a meaningful result in the context of the project. An activity is a unit of work that an individual playing the described role might be asked to perform. The activity has a very clear purpose, normally expressed in terms of creating or updating some artifacts,like a model, a class, a plan. Each and every activity is assigned for a specific role. The granularity of an activity is basically a few hours to a few days, it generally involves one role, and affects one or only a small number of the artifacts. An activity must be used as an element of planning and progress.If it is too small, then it will be neglected, and if it is too large, then the progress would have to be expressed in terms of an activity's parts. Activities should be repeated number of times on same artifact, especially when going from one of the iteration to another, refining and expanding the system, by means of the same role, but not necessarily of the same individual. Steps Activities are broken down into several steps. Steps fall into the three main categories: 2
• Thinking steps: is a step where the individual performing the role understands the nature of task,gathers and then examines the input artifacts, and formulates the outcome. • Performing steps: is a step where the individual performing the role creates or updates certain artifacts. • Reviewing steps: is a step where the individual performing the role inspects the results against some criteria. It is not necessary to perform these steps each time an activity is invoked, and so they can even be expressed in the form of alternate flows. Example of steps: The Activity: Find use cases and actors decomposes into the following steps: Step1. Find actors Step2. Find use cases Step3. Describe how actors and use cases interact Step4. Package use-cases and actors Step5. Present the use-case model in use-case diagrams Step6. Develop a survey of the use-case model Step7. Evaluate your results. The finding part [steps 1 to 3] needs some thinking.The performing part [steps 4 to 6] involves capturing the result in use-case model; the reviewing part [step 7] is the one where the individual performing the role evaluates the result to assess the completeness, robustness, intelligibility, or other qualities. Work Guideline Activities can have associated Work Guidelines, that present techniques and practical advice which is useful to the role performing the activity. 3
Workflow A mere enumeration of all the roles, activities and artifacts do not constitute a process.we require a way to describe meaningful sequences of activities which produce some valuable result, and also to show interactions between the roles. A workflow is a sequence of activities that produces a result of observable value. In UML terms, a workflow may be expressed as a sequence diagram, a collaboration diagram, or even as an activity diagram. We use a form of activity diagrams in the RUP. For each and every discipline, an activity diagram is presented. This diagram shows the workflow, that is expressed in terms of the workflow details.The great difficulties of describing the process is that there are number of ways in order to organize the set of activities into the workflows. RUP is organized using the following: • Disciplines • Workflow details Workflow Detail For most of the disciplines, you may also find the workflow detail diagrams,that shows the group of activities which are often performed "together". 4
These diagrams show the roles involved, input and output artifacts and also the activities performed. The workflow detail diagrams are there for the following reasons: The activities of a workflow are neither done all at once, nor performed in sequence. The workflow detail diagram says how often it works in workshops or in team meetings when performing a workflow. Typically we work in parallel on more than one activity and look at more than one artifact while doing that. There are various workflow detail diagrams for a particular discipline. It becomes too complex in order to show the input and the output artifacts for all the activities of a discipline in one diagram. The workflow detail diagram allows you to show the activities and artifacts together, for one part of a workflow at a time. The disciplines are not completely independent of one another. For example, integration occurs in both implementation and also in test disciplines, and in reality you never really do one without other. The workflow detail diagram may show a group of activities and artifacts in the discipline, together along with closely related activities in another discipline. 5

Math Behind Subcontracting
Adre97 posted a topic in Outsourcing, Subcontracting / AgencyI was wondering when I should start learning about adding on a subcontractor. I want to learn as much as possible as soon as possible, so I would like to know how they work and the math behind earning from them. I.e. What I can expect to pay and have them do, how I can make profit from them, when to add one on? ETC. All information will be greatly appreciated!
A few years back while I was doing my part-time subcontracting business a mentor told me it a round about way it wasn't successful. I felt like she was looking at numbers only. I admit, I could probably be doing more but guess what? Since I've been providing these services part-time I'm able to take my family this winter to Disney world. I'm pretty pumped. It's neat to show the kids small goals can be accomplished you don't have to eat the elephant first. Take things slow. For those of you multi-VAs providing the work, good for you. Look what a difference you're making. I need more content for my blog so is this a topic I should journal? Is that boring and OK to have a personal side of things on my blog?
I promised my client, who owns a cloud based virtual desktop, I'd do some research within the VA industry about benefits. Would some of you please chime in. Let me know how you think a virtual desktop on a private server could help your VA business. The way it works is you log into a virtual desktop that's backed up and stored on a cloud server. It's not Google, Amazon or some of the big names it's a smaller company. Not only can you log into the desktop but your client can too. We're just looking for some simple key benefits it could provide the VA industry. Also let me know if you currently use a company similar to this. Thank you.
I will need to be setting up interviews for a podcast. Rather than going back and forth I've seen people use applications you can see when someone is available and schedule. There is a free one called "when is good." Has anyone used it or have other suggestions for a reasonably priced one?
Subcontracting Guru
subcontracting posted a topic in Introduce Yourself and Your Virtual Business!I've been a VA and the subcontractor for other VAs for eight years. It's given me the understanding that the multi-VA firm needs subcontractors like myself. My site provides resources on the subcontracting topic anywhere from tools, where to get people and projects, inspiring stories, training, conferences and lots more. http://savvysubcontracting.com/ebook
Wow! This year has been a year of incredible growth for my company, and my team. Unfortunately, it has been a year of many struggles as well. My recent one, finding virtual assistants that are honest and reliable to join our team. One after another I have brought on people on to my team with some incredible skills, work history, and seemingly great customer service skills. People practically begging for work from the start, but basically disappearing once they accept the new projects I give them. I keep changing my interview/screening process to add more to it to try to cyphen out the "bad one's", nothing seems to be working! I need to make some changes before these dishonest, unreliable virtual assistants keep making a bad name for my team and the entire industry. I only bring team members on when the work allows for it, and I start them off with a smaller project to see how it goes before giving them anything big. Any recommendations? What works for you? Desperately seeking some clear answers! And I know I can always could on the VA Networking gals to shed some light on the situation!
How do you manage your work?
Traci Knoppe posted a topic in Outsourcing, Subcontracting / AgencyAs our VA businesses grow, and we take on more clients, obviously the work load grows as well. This forum is all about those who have enough work they are either outsourcing, subcontracting and/or have multiple VA's as part of their Team - all to help in getting the work done. I'm curious as to how you are managing the work and those whom you use to help you get that work done. What system or method do you use to keep track of and manage the work you either outsource, subcontract and/or assign to other VA's within your business? Do you use a project management system? Do you use a spreadsheet? Do you use email? Do you have a project manager that handles all the details of each project from start to finish for you? Can't wait to read your replies!

After abandoning the idea of an Indian origin, today experts agree on the American origin of beans. Both Virgil and Calumella did mention a Phaseolus, but they apparently meant a different legumen of the genus Dolichos, because beans were never found in archa-eological findings from the Mediterranean area. On the other hand, remains of beans dating over 7,000 years were found in the excavations of ancient Mexican and Guatemalan cities. And yet beans did not originate in that area either. While Mexico and Guatemala abound in wild forms of this legumen, they are probably only an area of diversification. The area of origin of the bean is now considered to be South America (Peru and Columbia).
Beans were first introduced into Europe by the Spanish conquistadors. In Italy, they were known to be widely grown in vegetable gardens as early as 1569. From Europe, beans later spread to India, Africa, Indochina, and the rest of the world. Today, they are a major crop thanks to their nutritional properties and particularly as a good protein and energy (From Il Divulgatore)
Phaseolus vulgaris beans are tender and slender with green, rounded pods, 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) long. The pods are eaten whole, including the immature seeds, when they are still young, juicy and tender. They have a delicate texture and sweet flavor. The part eaten are the pods and the seeds. The seeds of the mature pod are knows as flageolets and can be eaten and used as you would do with peas. They can be called green beans or pole beans. Green beans grow on a vine and are actually pods with little beans inside them. Green beans are a delicious side dish for any meal. They can be found Italian style, French style, and simply cut.
French beans are a fat free food that contains vitamins A and C, calcium, iron, and protein. They don't have a lot of carbohydrates which don't adversely affect the blood sugar. You can eat all you want and still be healthy. Good source of vitamin C, carotene and a variety of minerals, some fiber but very little protein; low in calories, as most vegetables.

Green Beans with Browned Butter
3/4 lb fresh green beans, cut in half
2 tablespoons butter (do not use margarine or vegetable oil spreads)
2 tablespoons chopped pecans
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
In 2-quart saucepan, place beans in 1 inch of water. Heat to boiling. Boil uncovered 6 to 8 minutes or until crisp-tender (they shouldn't be "squeaky" when you bite into one); drain. Keep warm.
Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Be careful not to let butter burn or it will taste bitter. Stir in pecans. Heat, stirring constantly, until butter is golden brown. (If bottom of saucepan is dark, it may be difficult to see the difference between brown butter and burnt butter. Try spooning a little of the butter onto a white plate to see the color more clearly.) Immediately remove from heat. Pour butter mixture over beans; toss to coat. Sprinkle with lemon peel.

Basic XNA and Kinect SDK Sample
This past week I have spent a little bit of time playing with the Kinect SDK and trying to get to grips with how it all works. My biggest interest is to use the Kinect SDK along with Microsoft's XNA Framework for games development so I made a sample project using these technologies. I've posted a link to this project at the end of the article.
The idea of this project was pretty simple. I wanted to get the RGB camera stream of me goofing around and use it as the background in an XNA application. I also wanted to try out some skeleton tracking functionality to test when my hands are intersecting with hot spots (represented as semi-transparent squares) on the screen. As it turns out, this project was pretty simple and quick to make and overall I'm really quite impressed with how the SDK is to use.
This project makes use of a couple of simple extension methods I created and is fairly heavily based on the samples which get installed with the Kinect SDK.

My father emigrated from Taiwan in the 1960s with only $17 to his name and the clothes on his back. Even though he was poor in the material and financial sense, he never considered himself poor. His mantra was that financial wealth alone did not represent one's "true wealth." He stressed the fact that he was rich in spirit and blessed with his education.
The most valuable financial advice that my dad bestowed was not to define myself by what I have, but rather by my accomplishments and education. He insisted that while money did not buy happiness, it did provide peace of mind, freedom, and flexibility. I learned that money should not be the sole determining factor in the decision making process. His financial wisdom and insight have allowed me to adopt a balanced, holistic approach to financial matters, for which I am eternally grateful.
This Father's Day is bittersweet for me because it is the first one without him. My dad passed away earlier this year after his long, courageous struggle with Parkinson's disease.
I hope to further my dad's legacy and instill values of financial stewardship. As a CFP® professional, I'm passionate about helping clients plan to achieve their life financial goals. Financial planning is intellectually stimulating, emotionally gratifying, and financially rewarding—and it delivers positive societal impact to our community.
Here are some strategies to help you improve your money management skills, increase your savings and build wealth to keep you on the path to financial prosperity.
Financial planning is the process of meeting your life goals through the proper management of your financial resources. Everyone wants to be "comfortable" in retirement and see their children attend a "good" school, but this means different things to different people. It's important to recognize that financial planning is a process, not a transaction.
Financial planning helps you understand the impact that each financial decision has on other areas of your financial life. For example, increasing contributions to your employer-sponsored retirement plan affects your cash flow, taxes, investment portfolio, and retirement plan. The goal is to adopt a big-picture, integrative approach to your personal finances, which provides clarity and confidence to your financial decisions.
Financial planning is a process, not a transaction. Your financial goals may change due to changes in your situation or circumstances such as the purchase of a home, marriage, birth, death, inheritance, divorce, or retirement. It is important to monitor your financial situation on a regular basis.
As Nelson Mandela so eloquently professed, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." I believe that the desire for financial stability transcends all cultural, societal, and wealth boundaries and that financial planning can transform lives!
Let's Make A Plan.

Is Tazicef Equivalent to Fortaz?
All generic medications must undergo certain tests to compare them to brand-name medications. The FDA then looks at these tests to decide if the generics are equivalent to the brand-name medications and assigns a rating to each one. An "AP" rating means that the FDA has determined that a generic medication is equivalent to a brand-name medication.
All of the generic ceftazidime versions currently available, including Tazicef, have an "AP" rating, meaning they should be equivalent to Fortaz. However, generic medications are allowed to have different inactive ingredients than the brand-name medication. This might include fillers, dyes, or other ingredients that may cause problems for people with allergies or sensitivities.

Brown rice… the underrated and under consumed cousin of the white rice. White rice leads the way in terms of popularity, most people opt for white rice because it 'tastes better' (apparently) and is generally 'fluffier' and more appetising than brown. Of course this is subjective and depends on personal preference, but white rice wins the race in most UK households.
Rice is great, it's a source of starchy carbohydrates which means it's slower releasing and better for overall blood sugar control. The speed that a carbohydrate source releases its sugar is known as its glycaemic response, the slower that response the better over the course of a day. There is a time and place for a fast release of sugar, such as that from a high glycaemic index carb (or simple carb) like table sugar, rice cakes, white bread, potato or…white rice. These fast releasing carbs are great for before or after a workout, but are considered rather erratic for overall energy wellbeing over the course of a day.
The difference between the brown and white rice grain
It all comes down to the degree of processing they undergo. Now don't get me wrong, more processing doesn't mean it's not as good, we're not talking about the 'processed foods' we as a nation over consume, but in the context of rice though, the greater the degree of processing the less grain is left in the rice. Brown rice is pretty much the rice grain in its original form, it is also known as wholegrain rice for the fact that it still contains the whole of the grain. The 'wholegrain' refers to the bran and germ remaining, these are removed to make white rice but are where all of the fibre and oils are found in rice. Brown rice is basically the whole rice grain with just the outer husk removed. This is the reason why brown rice doesn't keep for as long in your cupboards, the fat in the bran and germ can go rancid which is one of the reasons for white rice's popularity in the earlier days.
Brown rice and body fat
Rice may be a carbohydrate based food, but it has an important role in weight management, particularly fat loss. Carbohydrates are broken down to glucose, this glucose enters your blood stream and is delivered to your organs and muscles for energy. Insulin acts as the key to unlock your organs and muscles to allow the glucose in, otherwise (such as in Diabetics) the glucose will continue to flow freely in the blood. If your body receives a large amount of carbohydrate with very little fibre (like white rice) then the sugars are released into the blood very quickly which means the muscles may not be able to take it all in resulting in a 'back-up' of glucose.
This glucose back- up has to be stored, and is done so in the form of glycogen. If glycogen becomes saturated then the remaining glucose is converted to fat via fatty acid synthesis, this results in the storage of triglycerides as adiposity AKA a fat belly!
Other benefits of brown rice
The fact that brown rice has the bran and germ remaining means they are a good source of fibre as well as starchy carbs. The fats and fibre help to slow the release of the carbs in rice which reduce the risk of excess carbs being stored as fat, which would otherwise increase your risk of heart disease and diabetes.

Actually, I think there's a fourth really important networking email that often gets forgotten - and that's the one that you send to someone who has looked at your profile on LinkedIn.
That's right - the message you send to someone who has taken the trouble to check you out. They never view your profile by accident - they always do it on purpose.
Huge numbers of people on LinkedIn simply never bother to communicate with people who look at their profile, and whilst some of them will inevitably be not relevant to your industry, niche or area of expertise - some of them will be and your curiosity should be sparked as to why they might have taken the trouble to view your profile.
What should you say to these people when they look at your profile?
I recommend "Thank you".
You would be amazed how few people bother to do this, yet I have clients who have told me that they acquired new clients/customers the very first time they thanked someone for looking at their profile.
But there's a little more to just saying thank you and I'm happy to share the wording that I use - customised of course to the individual concerned:
Hi John
Thanks for taking a look at my profile page - I hope you found something useful? [The question mark is optional]
I noticed that we both share an interest in running and it would be great to connect with you please; in the meantime, if I can introduce you to anyone in my network please let me know.
All the best
Hopefully you'll have noticed that I've not gone into sales mode - it's all about the other person. As a result around 99% of the people I send this to connect with me. The key is the customisation.
That makes it one of the most important networking emails you can send in your business life.
Aspiring to find this balance, many people begin networking emails with "Remember me?" or even, "You probably don't remember me . . . " After all, why not begin with an honest admission so the other person knows you aren't being fake? Well, unfortunately, this approach often backfires. While you're coming from a sincere place, it's pretty audacious to ask for something from someone whom you're blatantly admitting you barely know.

Loris Karius surrenders late equaliser in first Besiktas appearance
On-loan Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius conceded a late equaliser in his first appearance for Besikstas, a 1-1 draw against Bursaspor on Sunday.
Karius, who finalised a two-year loan on Aug. 25, came out to claim a cross from the byline from Bursaspor midfielder Yusuf Erdogan, but forward Diafra Sakho reached it at the edge of the box before the goalkeeper and tapped home in the 86th minute.
Replaced in July as Liverpool's No. 1 by Alisson, who signed from Roma for a club record €62.5 million, Karius chose to leave amid significant scrutiny for his errors, including two in the loss to Real Madrid in the Champions League final in May.
"[Klopp] told me he would like to have me in the squad because he wants to have the best quality players," Karius said last week. "But I spoke to him and asked him for my wish. It is important to me to play for Besiktas.
"I talked with him for a long time and he understood my situation. I think it was a good deal for everyone. He wished me well but he said he would have liked to keep me."
Meanwhile, Alisson opened the season with three consecutive clean sheets, but he surrendered a Premier League goal for the first time in Liverpool's 2-1 victory over Leicester City on Saturday.
After a poor back pass from Virgil van Dijk, Alisson tried to beat Kelechi Iheanacho with a step-over on the byline, but instead lost possession before Iheanacho set up Rachid Ghezzal for the goal.
"That is his style of play and I think everyone wants him to continue doing that," defender Joe Gomez said. "All the time he gives us that confidence that we can play and it relieves a lot of pressure for us. Everyone has their style of play and we don't want him to change. I think he's confident and will continue to [be]."
Klopp also said Alisson was not entirely to blame for the goal.
"I don't look for anyone responsible," he said. "The final one was [on] Alisson but we should have cleared the situation before. It wasn't a situation where you pass the ball back. We make decisions in a second, and in a second, [sometimes] you realise, 'That was the wrong one.'
"I think that was this situation. To be 100 percent honest, I am really happy it happened, because we don't have to wait for it now."

The WEB Project employed two basic strategies for improvement:
internal research and data collection and external evaluation. Project
administrators and trainers used satisfaction surveys and feedback
forms to improve the quality of workshops while teachers engaged
in action research to develop and improve curriculum.
In order to evaluate our project for student learning
outcomes, RMC Research Corporation, Denver adapted a conceptual
framework for learning presented by R.J. Sternberg. His model shows
that motivation drives metacognitive skills, which in turn activate
learning and thinking skills, which then provide feedback to the
metacognitive skills, enabling one's level of expertise. The declarative
("what I know") and procedural ("what I can do")
knowledge acquired through the extension of thinking and learning
skills also results in these skills being used more effectively
in the future.
Sternberg's model can be extended to encompass learning outcomes
as well. RMC Research performed a path analysis on the 1999 student
survey with the following results:
Conceptual Framework
Through an assessment of student products, answers to surveys,
and scores on a standardized test of academic motivation, we hope
to determine whether The WEB Project is helping students to achieve
better academically and to engage in positive behaviors. The results
of this final phase of research and evaluation show student learning
in the areas measured. A previous interim report shows early evidence
of impact and has been posted for public viewing as well.

The recent disruption to our neatly manicured schedules caused by The Beast from the East and Storm Emma was something unseen by most of us for many years.
A few feet of snow was a fun novelty for a while but for many organisations it meant significant financial loss as operations ground to a halt. Excluding the businesses who will always be vulnerable to weather-related disruption, e.g. those in the transport and hospitality sectors, technology is the key to preventing the devastating effects of extreme weather on productivity.
Collaboration and Access
A properly designed and secured network, mobile and UC environment, along with a cloud strategy for applications and storage, means you and your team can be as productive at home (or wherever you are) as you are in the office – some argue even more so, but they clearly don't have kids at home.
Working offline is something most of us can do for a while, but ultimately you need to access applications, files and data, and be connected with your colleagues and customers. If you have broadband at home, you can get on your corporate network either via a VPN or a hosted desktop environment. Either option will give you the same tools and services that you have access to in your office. Even if you lose power and your broadband disappears with it, you can still work off your device battery and a 3Mobile Broadband MiFi device.
There's no need today to grind to a halt or make unnecessary journeys.
With hosted desktop solutions, you don't even need to bring home your laptop. If you have a home PC or tablet, you can log in to your virtual desktop and continue from where you left off when last in the office. In fact, if you are a Samsung Galaxy user with a Samsung DeX unit, you can pretty much do a day's work now off your phone, either using the DeX environment natively on your 55" TV or by running a full virtual desktop environment on the phone. Either way, the DeX will allow you to connect a mouse, keyboard and screen, turning your phone into a fully functional workstation.
IP Telephony and Unified Communications mean that calls can be taken and made on your PC or can be redirected to a mobile or home phone. Contact centre agents can remotely log in to their profile and continue to operate as if they were in the actual call centre. For sales folks, you can access your cloud-based CRM like Salesforce and continue on with customer interaction using tools like WebEx, Spark, cloud-based Video Conferencing, etc.
The other aspect of weatherproofed communication is the ability to urgently contact all staff and customers about your premises being closed or other emergency plans. The ideal way to do this is using a bulk SMS solution such as 3Communicate, which reaches people immediately and reliably, directly on their phones.
Future proofed as well as weather proofed.
The benefits these solutions bring to a business are for life, not just for winter. The flexibility that a `work from anywhere, anytime on any device' culture allows your workforce may be posed as a benefit of working for your organisation now, but it is quickly becoming expected. As your peers embrace this technology and the productivity, efficiency and recruitment benefits it brings, you risk losing competitiveness. And at the risk of sounding like a broken record, millennials and gen Z employees are only on the rise and they are unlikely to settle for anything less than a digitally enabled and flexible working environment.
If all that fails, well then I guess it's time to go build a snowman.

As new studies come out on how CBD and other cannabinoides can assist with mental and physical ailments like PTSD, anxiety and inflammation, companies like HARDCAR see an opportunity to help Vets.
While businesses in the cannabis and hemp industries still look for answers to their banking woes, HARDCAR once again provides legal solutions to keep their money safe and off the streets.
Business owners and executives of the legal cannabis market unite to raise money for the Desert Cancer Foundation and also celebrate the growth of the industry.
While the federal government has yet to regulate the exchange of currency within the cannabis industry, financial institutions have rightfully begun taking initiative by seeking the guidance of experts.
As California's legal cannabis market evolves and enforcement ramps up, businesses (especially cultivators) are seeking a clear path towards legalization and compliance.
HARDCAR is making moves and preparing for the future of cannabis in the United States by hiring a new COO with a proven track record of success, as well as picking up new acquisitions to expand the company's territory.

Many weeks had passed since Heather had left him. Heath had been on the verge of dipping into a deep depression countless times, the only thing keeping him trying to pull his act together was his infant daughter. Had there ever been any doubt in anybody's mind if this New Breed/Old Breed vampire hybrid was capable of true love, there wasn't anymore now.While he was still able to turn to Everleigh for support, KC had made sure that it would be within a more reasonable manner and that Heath wasn't monopolizing Evey's time.
The past months had been uneventful for Heath. He had his routine with his daughter. Despite him being a very attentive parent, one night he realized he was about to run out of formula and diapers, so he asked Evey and KC to watch the baby so he could hurry over to the nearby grocery store.
Trying not to put his friends out any more than necessary, he rushed into the store, nearly running down a woman, before grabbing the last shopping basket right out from underneath her.
"So VERY sorry – this is a single dad emergency!" he told her, before hurrying down the aisle.
As fate would have it, they met again at the only cash register open out of three, where both arrived at the same time. The woman smiled, one eyebrow raised, then waved him to go first.
"Go ahead, single dad. Since it's a four alarm emergency tonight." the woman smirked.
"Thank you!"
The cashier checking him out obviously was not having the best day, which became more obvious when she barked the amount due at Heath.
"17.45 Simoleons."
"Umm … all three items are marked on sale. I only have 10 Simoleons on me."
"You got a membership card?"
"I do not."
"17.45 Simoleons then! The savings are for loyalty card holders only!"
"Fine, let me sign up for one of those cards then."
"All out of forms. 17.45 or you're gonna have to put something back then."
"But I need all of it! It's for my daughter, we are out of all of this!"
"NEXT!" the cashier addressed the woman behind Heath.
"Here. Use that and finish with him first." the woman behind Heath handed the clerk her membership card.
"Are you two together? Store does not support sharing membership cards just willy nilly!" the cashier now barked at the woman.
"Yeah, sure, he's my brother." the woman said unimpressed.
"Doesn't look like your brother!"
"Mommy was a ho. Who knows who his daddy was. Just swipe the damn card, lady, before his daughter graduates college!"
"I do not get paid enough to deal with the rude people nowadays!" the clerk mumbled but did as told, took the money from Heath, then dismissed him.
"Thank you!" Heath told the woman as he was leaving.
"Sure thing, bro! See you at the next family reunion!" she winked.
Heath was about to rush back home when a torrential downpour greeted him.
Yelling over the deafening sound, the woman, now checked out too, said
"Lovely weather we're having, huh?"
"Yeah, thinking about taking the long route home!" Heath jested back, nearly yelling. She laughed, then asked where his car was parked.
"Don't have one, I live nearby, I walked." Heath yelled back.
"In that weather? Listen, single dad, tonight is your lucky night, evidently it's my paying it forward day. I'm right over there, the red one. I'll drive you, if you promise not to be a mad serial killer and murder me on the way."
"No worries, trip is too short to even get all my serial killer tools out."
"Ha ha ha, on three we are running to that red car over there. One, two, three!"
They ran, jumped in, stuffed their small shopping bags into the backseat and she started driving.
"You have to tell me where your house is. I can barely see a thing." she squinted out the windshield as she was slowly driving down Main Street.
"Should be the next intersection." Heath guessed trying to see anything through the window himself.
"Are you across from the old Auditore villa?"
"Ah, we're here!"
"Thank you. For everything!" Heath said sincerely, then grabbed his bag and ran for the door.
Once inside he tended to Abigail, while Evey and KC, who had been watching her told him they would wait out the storm.
After they left, he lay in his coffin that night chuckling about the chance meeting at the store, regretting he didn't think to ask for her number.

By Richard Jideaka, Abuja:
Former Super Eagles coach Samson Siasia has expressed surprise at the exclusion of the duo of Ambrose Efe of Hibernian and Al Ahly's Junior Ajayi as well as goalkeeper Austin Ejide from the 30-man provisional list for the Russia 2018 World Cup, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.
Siasia told the media in Abuja on Tuesday that the coach Gernot Rohr has made his selection, and his choice of players for the World Cup should be respected because he is responsible for whatever result the team get in Russia.
"I think Efe's experience and form for his Scottish side Hibernian is good enough to get him into the list, and he would be of immense help to the Super Eagles defence at the World Cup while Junior Ajayi would have added fire power to the Eagles attack, and should have been given the chance to prove himself," Siasia, who starred for Nigeria at the World Cup in 1994, said.
"All the same, the coach knows what he is doing and has picked his team, we just have to support him for Nigeria to do well in Russia. We cannot win the World Cup but if we emerge from the group stage, our team can spring some surprises."
Asked if the exclusion of Vincent Enyeama would be felt in the Eagles, Siasia's answer was an emphatic no, stressing that the former captain of the Super Eagles was not keen to be part of the team and he has not been playing for his club Lille.
He said Ezenwa was number one during the qualifiers and should retain that role for World Cup. Siasia however wished that the coach had extended invitation to Austin Ejide for his experience and physicality.11 BUSINESS NUGGETS FROM SUPER EAGLES BRONZE MEDAL TRIUMPH.

We explore the structure directing role of the chiral cation (1S,2S)-2-hydroxymethyl-1-benzyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium (SS-bmpm) in the synthesis of Al-containing zeolite materials in the presence of co-structure directing agents (co-SDAs). Three different co-SDAs are studied: tetramethylammonium (TMA), quinuclidine and sodium. Synthesis with TMA as co-SDA yields a ferrierite related phase and a material from the MWW family, where the SS-bmpm and the TMA cations are incorporated intact within the samples. Quinuclidine produces instead amorphous solids, while the use of Na+ leads to crystalline phases that crystallized as a result of the degradation of the SS-bmpm cation. A subsequent computational study based on molecular mechanics was performed in an attempt to unravel the location of TMA and SS-bmpm cations within the void space of the complex MWW structure. The results suggest that the sinusoidal channels are exclusively filled by TMA, while the bulky SS-bmpm cations can only be accommodated within the MWW super-cages, thus providing a new example of cooperative structure-directing effects of small and bulky cations in the synthesis of complex zeolite structures.

Arriving on the UK and Irish comedy landscape in 2015, actor and comic Catherine Bohart's ascent has been impressively rapid. She was a finalist in both the BBC New Comedy Awards and Funny Women in 2016, named on the BBC's New Talent Hotlist 2017 and was also runner-up in the Irish Comedian of the Year Final 2017, being selected for the prestigious Pleasance Reserve in the same year. In 2018 she made her full-length Edinburgh Fringe debut with Immaculate, a critically acclaimed autobiographical hour exploring her life as the bisexual, OCD daughter of an Irish Catholic Deacon. She has performed on The Mash Report (BBC Two), The Stand Up Sketch Show (ITV2) and made a memorable appearance on Roast Battle (Comedy Central), against her real-life partner, Sarah Keyworth (also performing at Larmer Tree).

Define value in your law firm to drive return business and make clients raving fans.
Value is a funny thing. What is valuable to one person is not always valuable to someone else. As consumers of products and services, we have different ideas of what makes a product or a service valuable, and we regularly struggle to understand other people's perception of value when it does not match our own.
Think about the services your firm offers. Do you really know what your clients see as valuable? You might thing results are the most valuable thing you can deliver to a client. But for some, although results are important, communication might be more valuable. But these are things we never know unless we ask the questions. We often see firms taking the time to do things for their clients that they perceive as valuable, but the client simply does not. Value is often defined as something we do for our clients that they are willing to pay for, that changes their situation, and that is done right the first time.
Understanding your client is the key to adding value to the services you provide. Happy clients are your best source of repeat and new business, and unhappy clients are exactly the opposite. There is a direct connection between understanding what is valuable to a client, delivering that value, and creating what we like to call a 'raving fan'. If you have not read RAVING FANS by Ken Blanchard and Sheldon Bowles, it really is a must read. My favorite quote of the book is this: "Your clients are only satisfied because their expectations are so low and because no one else is doing better. Just having satisfied clients isn't good enough anymore. If you really want a booming business, you have to create Raving Fans."

Good Location, Bad Location, Feng Shui For 2012
My office has been flooding with phone calls and emails asking about the year of the Dragon, and the predictions of Princess Kaoru Nakamaru of Japan that 2012 is the end of the world, and can Feng Shui help.
Princess Kaoru graduated at Columbia University. She is also a journalist, having interviewed kings, presidents, prime ministers, and business people from many countries; she has given speeches, written books, and has appeared on television as a commentator on international political affairs.
Gwen Coronado giving hands-on instruction; a Space Clearing Class
Princess Kaoru was acclaimed in U.S. magazine, and Newsweek, as the Worlds Number One Interviewer, and the Washington Post described her as one of those rare women in the world with an outstanding international sensitivity.
Click to view website
So, with the Princess background, I could understand why everyone was concerned.
But, if we listened to her
video (click here)
Princess Kaoru said nothing about the end of the world, she advised us to strive to be a good person, love one another, and remove our egos to benefit mankind.
Now, lets talk about Feng Shui for 2012.
This year, The Southeast sector is the most hazardous for your home or office. It is due to the number 5 Yellow Star's tendency to lean towards accidents and calamity, so if possible, do not use the Southeast location.
The Southwest section, where the number 3 Star resides may cause constant arguments and heated disagreements. In extreme cases, it may lead to legal complications and lawsuits.
In the Northwest, the number 7 Star may cause arguments, and may affect your health.
The North, where number 2 Star resides may cause persistent illnesses and health issue.
If you are pregnant, do not live in North location until next year.
Enough of the negative; lets talk about the positive stars.
Star number 8 Star is in the West area of your home or office. Activate this star to enhance Wealth and Prosperity.
If your home main door is in the West, you shall have financial benefit and career advancement.
If your main door is not in the West, you can place a Yang object such as fans, clocks and televisions in this sector to enhance positive energy of number 8 Star.
In the East, Star number 4 is promising for academic and scholarly pursuits.
You may have lots of traveling if you frequent this section throughout next year. This location is also very good for relationships with your loved ones.
The South sector is where number 1 Star resides, activate Star number 1 to enhance your good name, reputation and nobility. If you are a political leader, the South sector is great for you to campaign.
The Northeast section, where number 9 Star resides, is a wonderful place for couples who are planning to get married, or start a family.
The Northeast is also a Wealth sector, activate the number 9 Star to boost your income, your promotion, advance your career, or a business venture.
Most importantly, the center, which is the Heart of your home, is where the White Star number 6 resides.
The Number 6 Heavenly Star, Metal, shall bring blessings and good luck from the Universe. Activate the center of your home or business to receive the maximum benefit of this auspicious star, to help you to get recognition for your accomplishments, encourage you to aim higher, and achieve more than you thought possible.
We are offering a tune up class customized for your home or your business on Saturday, March 10, 2012 from 10:00 am 1:00 pm. Prepaid $250.00; at the door $300.00. Email me at
for details.

The v3.66 update included functionality to purchase blockchain packs. What is a blockchain pack you ask? Essentially it's a pack of 15 foil cards that have a silver border around each card.
Before you pull the trigger and purchase your first blockchain pack, here's a walkthrough/review of the process to set expectations.
Step 1: Click on the icon for the Shadow Tokens
Step 2: Select Card Packs. This provides a sample image of a blockchain Priest of the Light. From here, select the type of pack from the dropdown
Step 3: Click the button "Buy - 100 SHDW". You will be prompted with a OK/Cancel dialog box. If you click OK, the purchase will take place and you will be presented with this dialog:
Step 4: Here's where the user experience takes a nose dive. It seems like a real-time delivery of the cards isn't possible. Therefore, a wait period ensues. If I go to my Deck and start making changes, the delivery process will interrupt my Deck changes and take me to a new screen (losing any unsaved changes). Additionally, and I have yet to test this, but I would be concerned to start a Quick Match before the cards are delivered. Would it interrupt the game? Perhaps. We would need Kyle to weigh in. In the meantime, let's continue with the walkthrough.
When the cards are delivered, the game takes you to this screen:
What the f**k? Why is the screen displaying 8 cards to Reveal instead of 15!?!
I'll explain shortly.
Step 5: Let's go ahead and reveal these:
Nice! Gambit and a couple of cards for my Ter/Vess decks
Step 6: Next, I click Done, and I'm brought back to a second Reveal screen. This time, it has my "remaining" 7 cards. So I wasn't cheated - I still ended up with a total of 15 cards.
Let's repeat the Reveal process:
If you're following along with this walkthrough to purchase your first blockchain pack, congratulations! You're done. You can go to your Deck and add any of the blockchain cards you desire.
Additional notes:
1. In most cases, all 15 cards will be delivered at once. Just know that it's not all cases, and the "remaining" cards should be delivered after the first Reveal
2. To review your blockchain card transactions, use this url, inserting your Waves Address at the end http://wavesexplorer.com/address/{{InsertYourWavesAddress}}
1. Currently, a blockchain pack only costs 100 SDHW. Given that a Foil pack costs 500sc and only delivers 5 cards, 100 SDHW seems like a bargain for 15 blockchain cards.
1. Clunky user experience. The wait period and the possible delivery of 15 cards in two sets is problematic. In one of my purchases, I received 14 cards initially, then I received a Server Error, and I never received the last card. The wavesexplorer.com link should provide a transaction log as to which card was delivered, but it's not easy to comprehend this transaction log.
2. The "look" of the blockchain border. I realize this is personal taste, but given the artwork and beauty of this game, the blockchain design fell short of my expectations.
3. There doesn't appear to be functionality built to sell a single blockchain card within the game. For example, if I received a Fire Snake blockchain card and wanted to sell it, shouldn't I have the ability to list it for 5 SHDW? Or list a Kion for 250 SHDW? Maybe it's a misunderstanding on my part, but I thought the blockchain cards were meant to be purchased and sold within the community.
As of v3.66, if I were to "review" blockchain, I'd give it 2 stars out of 5. The bargain for the "foil hunters" cannot be ignored. 100 SHDW is a fair starting price. However, I would like to see improvements in future versions that specifically address the three "cons" mentioned above. A better user experience, a better blockchain design, and functionality to buy/sell single cards are important to take blockchain to the next level.
I hope this walkthrough/review has been helpful for some.

Internet Marketing Mogul Waves Goodbye to Nearly 7-Figures to Help Others Have Prosperity
Jason Mangrum, who made fortunes as an internet marketer for more than 11 years, walked away from a position paying him upwards of $60,000 a month to develop the Affiliate Domination System,
a program that helps others generate income online ethically, honestly and with integrity.
"I left internet marketing because I was sick and tired of the poor business practices and even deleted my list of 250,539 subscribers, taking my income from $40-60k a month, to zero, and not knowing where my next dollar was going to come from," said Mangrum, who has been called an internet marketing genius by fellow online marketers and clients.
"It forced me to do something with my true passion of personal development and self-help, so I created my very own marketing system which has grants me a full-time income, while maintaining honesty and integrity, and helping people change their lives for the better."
The Affiliate Domination System is a "done for you" lead generation and sales system designed for affiliates, internet marketers and entrepreneurs who want to get into the giant field of Self-Help, Personal Development and Self-Improvement, or increase their income from their current Self-Help related internet business.
Mangrum, who used his in-depth study of Mind Power, manifesting, Law of Attraction, self-healing and consciousness to write an online bestselling book called Uberman – Almost Super Human, also uses many of the principles from the book in his Affiliate Domination System. What makes Mangrum's system unique is that it requires no selling of internet marketing products but instead Jason gives his students the ability to build their own list of subscribers, which receive valuable content and endorsements for top quality products and solutions within the areas of Self-Help, Personal Development and Self-Improvement.
Mangrum says, "I want to change the world in a BIG way, and the first step is bringing something real and completely unique to the table folks can actually use to increase their wealth, abundance and prosperity, by helping others transform their lives from the inside-out, in a profound way."

At Fairtees we like to support charities doing amazing work by givin
At Fairtees we like to support charities doing amazing work by givin
Are you sick of disposable plastic razors? I am. For all of my life I thought there was no be
I've been looking for the right organic & fair trade doona cover and pillowslips for
This month, when our broken toaster kept filling our house with smoke and risked burning the house down, I cut the cord off to force myself to find a new one. Apart from not killing us, we wanted to make sure that the new one would also be ethical.
But how do you even buy an ethical toaster?!
Last week I ceremoniously cut the electric cord off the toaster that had just filled my house with billows of burnt-toast-smoke, for the second day in a row. No more smokey black toast for me! We had bought the toaster from a tip-shop, hoping to give it a second life. As we found out, the popping mechanism was broken and the only way to stop the toast toasting was to press the 'Cancel' button. Not good if you, like me, walk out of the room and completely forget you're even cooking toast.
So, we wanted a new toaster. And we wanted it to be as ethical and as sustainable as possible - long lasting, made well, people paid fairly, etc. But the second hand options were out. We didn't want to risk the tip shop again and Gumtree's used toaster results were empty (actually, we found one for $8 and went to buy it but when we arrived at the seller's house at the specified time, he had accidentally sold it to someone else that morning). We decided to buy a brand new toaster - the most ethical one we could get our hands on.
How long does it take to buy an ethical toaster in Australia? At least ten days, it turns out. And when you're used to a toaster, ten days can feel like a long time. While doing the research to help us make what we could consider to be the most ethical decision possible to us at this time, my wife and I have been cooking toast under the Maxi Grill in our oven. On the plus side it didn't fill the house with smoke and for some reason smelt a lot like pancakes, but on the down side the extra energy use and inconvenience became less tolerable, and I found myself writing 'buy toaster' in capital letters on my to-do list (serious).
So, how did I start my search?
1. Downloaded the 2016 Ethical Electronics Guide from Baptist World Aid (see a snippet below). The guide is really clear and super easy to navigate, it only took me 15 seconds to look up a brand rating.
2. Scoured eBay and Google to find out Toaster brands.
3. Compared what we wanted (2 slice, stainless steel toaster) to the brand ratings in the Ethical Electronics Guide.
4. Looked for a toaster brand with the highest rating, whose product that I could buy from within Australia
What actually happened?
1. The first thing that struck me was that the highest rating in the entire Ethical Electronics Guide was only a B+. Disappointing, but hopefully things will get better as more consumers exercise their ethical purchasing scrutiny and encourage companies to improve their production processes and transparency.
2. I had no luck finding toasters with the B+ rating (Bosch and Siemens) inside Australia on eBay, they seemed to only be available outside of Australia.
3. There were a number of toaster brands available in Australia which didn't feature in the Guide, including: Morphy Richards, Russell Hobbs, Cuisinart and Kitchen Chef. I decided to avoid these until they are rated.
4. I found that a number of toaster brands which offer nicer looking and more expensive toasters ($140+) interestingly did not rate highly in the Electronics Guide (eg. Kitchenaid = D+), another example where more expensive prices don't necessarily equal a fairer product.
5. I went back to searching Gumtree for second hand toasters - and scored! I finally found a $20, six-month old, two-slice Breville toaster that a relocating French couple were selling. It's not stainless steel, but it feels safe and sturdy, and I'm hoping it will last a very long time.
6. Even though Breville only has a C+ rating, in my opinion buying second-hand trumps any of my other decision-making criteria, so I'm stoked.
7. The toaster has been perfect so far!
8. I'm left with the knowledge that the Ethical Electronics Guide is super easy to use (I must admit I have felt a bit overwhelmed by using these kinds of guides in the past), and I will definitely use it again in future when I need to buy some other kind of electronic device that I can't get second-hand.
Have you used the Ethical Electronics Guide, or another kind of guide regarding more sustainable and fair electronics? If so I'd love to hear your experiences, please leave a comment below.

Alternate Dispute Resolution
Learning teams at the University of Phoenix consist of several students, assigned by the course professor, working together for class projects. The goal of the learning team is to work together to accomplish the set task for any given week. As many know working as team is difficult, but the real clincher in the university setting is that the team members do not have physical contact and rely on each other to email, chat, post to forum, etc. to communicate the assignment and ensure that the assignment is done within the given timeframe. Communication is a proven factor in the success of a team. At times teams do come into a disagreement and steps must be taken to ensure that the conflict will come to a resolution. The clause I suggest for a learning team is simple. The professor should be the unbiased mediator, listens to all sides of the arguments, tries to understand what each party wants from the case and helps set achievable goals. (Superior Court of California, 2010) It is understandable that teams will have different types of disputes in a team, and some can be resolved within the team itself, but it has to be understood that not all arguments can be presented to the professor as that can be time consuming. An ADR can only be presented to the professor if it pretenses a legal issue. One example of using an ADR is if one team member is submitting plagiarized information for a team project and the other team members have confronted the individual and he or she is still insistent in including it in their portion. One if not all team members would have to contact the professor requesting the ADR. The professor, the mediator, would hear all arguments and then make a determination on whether or not the information should be allowed to stay or be removed from the project.

For example, giving the consumer's pattern of purchase from the big number of information.

often private companies whose technologies power the systems universities use for predictive analytics and adaptive courseware
the use of data in scholarly research about student learning; the use of data in systems like the admissions process or predictive-analytics programs that colleges use to spot students who should be referred to an academic counselor; and the ways colleges should treat nontraditional transcript data, alternative credentials, and other forms of documentation about students' activities, such as badges, that recognize them for nonacademic skills.
Useful breakdown. Research, predictive models, and recognition are quite distinct from one another and the approaches to data that they imply are quite different. In a way, the "personalized learning" model at the core of the second topic is close to the Big Data attitude (collect all the things and sense will come through eventually) with corresponding ethical problems. Through projects vary greatly, research has a much more solid base in both ethics and epistemology than the kind of Big Data approach used by technocentric outlets. The part about recognition, though, opens the most interesting door. Microcredentials and badges are a part of a broader picture. The data shared in those cases need not be so comprehensive and learners have a lot of agency in the matter. In fact, when then-Ashoka Charles Tsai interviewed Mozilla executive director Mark Surman about badges, the message was quite clear: badges are a way to rethink education as a learner-driven "create your own path" adventure. The contrast between the three models reveals a lot. From the abstract world of research, to the top-down models of Minority Report-style predictive educating, all the way to a form of heutagogy. Lots to chew on.

Sounds like a neat description of what many Big Data enthusiasts are actually trying to do. Some Big Data positivists do go so far as to claim that the "inference engine" will eventually be powerful enough to find meaning. But this distinction is within the Big Data field, not between it and other fields.

It's educators who come up with hypotheses and test them using a large data set.
And we need an ever-larger data set, right?

Eliaquim Mangala may not be getting his desired move to Inter this summer, with the club's sporting director Walter Sabatini declaring in recent minutes their work in the market done and there will be no more incomings.
#Sabatini: "Non faremo altri acquisti, è stato un mercato pragmatico" #Inter @SkySport
— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 30, 2017
Mangala has rejected permanent moves to Spartak Moscow and Stoke City this summer, with Inter his preferred destination, but with very little money to spend, despite their Chinese ownership, the Nerazzurri have struggled to finance deals – even loans.
While it could be an Italian bluff, this means City have just over a day to find Mangala a new club, and it could bode well for their pursuit of Jonny Evans.
Baggies boss Tony Pulis wants Mangala to go the other way, possibly on loan, as a condition for a sale of Evans to City. With very little time left to be picky, Mangala may have to resign himself to the move, unless Inter or another club spring a late surprise.

About This DVD
Family Ties is an ensemble drama from Kim Tae Yong, the co-director of chiller Memento Mori. The film tells three seemingly unconnected stories in a trilogy of distinct segments. The first part is the story of a woman (Moon So Ri - Oasis, A Good Lawyer's Wife)) who has to deal with her long-lost brother's surprise visit. After having been missing for several years, the brother (played by Um Tae Ung - Revenge) appears and moves in, with his new wife in tow - a much older woman, Mu Shin (Ko Doo Sim - More Beautiful Than A Flower). The second story features a searing performance from Gong Hyo Jin (Memento Mori) as a short-tempered young woman, who discovers that her estranged mother (Kim Hye Ok), with whom she has had a falling out, is terminally ill. Part three examines the relationship problems faced by a young couple (Bong Tae Gyu - See You After School, and Jeong Yu Mi - Blossom Again).
