Mission awareness trip
Jan. 6-18, 2009
After spending a most enjoyable week with the sponsors in South India, Cristina, Alvaro Aguilar (Guatemala) and I flew to Hyderabad. We were privileged to visit subprojects, families and mothers groups, together with staff members from CFCA-Kansas and CFCA-Bhagalpur.
Words from a sponsored mother
ìNormally every program ends with the vote of thanks Ö but today this word thanks comes right from the bottom of every motherís heart. Itís not only financial and material knowledge that is given Ö but we are taught how to earn our living, how to educate our children, how to build a good and happy family and how to be a good mother.îóAgnes, Rosevilla Mothers Group
Small mothers group (SMG) leaders conference
This has been a day of inspiration and celebration with about 900 mothers group leaders present and a very high level of energy, identity and ìbuy-inî with the CFCA program.
Inspiring to me were the 20 little girls from subproject BLP, former street children. Sister Margaret shared their stories: This one was abandoned in the railway station. This one was found in the city market. These precious children (ages 2 to10) had prepared a few songs and a birthday cake for Mr. Prakash and they literally became part of my song Esmeralda Ö really because they have lived and are living similar realities today.
Community based
The mothers can be seen walking from their home to the meeting place. The transparency of the program, together with the joy and confidence of the mothers, speak clearly that this program is healthy and sustainable. I believe it can be said that they are truly community-based when our own CFCA colleagues living and serving in their own community give the example of walking with poor without religious, caste or any other prejudice.
A success story by sponsored child
ì Ö I am very much sad to say that I lost my beloved Dad when I was in 6th standard (ed. 6th grade). At that time, CFCA took me into their hands and helped me in my studies. At present I am pursuing my post graduation with the help of CFCA. My specialization is organic chemistry. I have no words to express my thanks and gratitude to my sponsors. I am also thankful to CFCA. I always enjoy writing letters to my beloved sponsors. CFCA has given me a wholesome refuge by educating us and guiding us in real life. It has really come out of building relationships and building lives. CFCA has really built my life. I am not the only one benefitted, but also many other people like me.î–Maram
We arrive at Emjala subproject after dark
Our Emjala (EJP) subproject has 164 children and comprises a tiny village with hardly 300 families. As agriculture is their backbone, they earn hardly enough to feed their families. Most of the children were attending government-run schools, but after getting CFCA sponsorship, most now attend English medium schools. Four of our former sponsored children have completed their degree in engineering and are working in well-established companies. Three of our sponsored students have completed their MBA.
How the mothers groups work
In our subproject, 159 mothers are divided into 12 mothers groups. Each group consists of 10 to 15 members, who gather once a month to share their joys and sorrows and, at the same time, collect a small amount of interest. The same is rotated among the members as a loan, which is utilized for many needs. The loans taken by the mothers are a great help to their families. Maria has taken a loan of 80,000 rupees. She paid the fees for her son and now she proudly says that her son is doing his MBA. The other child is doing nursing and the family is doing well. Josephina is a student who lost her mother when she was an infant. She completed her degree in education with the help of SMG loans. Now, she is a teacher in a school.
Dedication of inter-faith prayer room at CFCA
Alvaro breaks the traditional coconut as a part of the inauguration of the prayer room.
We are deeply grateful to our loving God and to each of you for your solidarity and prayers, and express our immense gratitude to the staff and families of CFCA-India. Two days in Kansas City will do us good, then on to Guatemala.
On Jan. 23, sponsored children and staff from Project Hermano Pedro and Project Atitlan will hold a solidarity walk to kick off preparations for Pilgrimage of Faith II. Each of the 12 countries to be traversed will be represented by the children in native dress and music. All of this will culminate in a community celebration of the Eucharist.
Godís blessings,
Bob Hentzen

Southern Italy and North Africa, not so distant cousins.
I adore dishes which bear testament to shared histories and the exchange of tradition, the type which are so strikingly alike that they surpass borders between two seemingly different lands. With the Arab conquests of Sicily and Calabria, the presence of the Spanish with their Moorish influence until the 18th century and the natural proximity of land, its no wonder we can find huge similarities in food, language and architecture between the regions. The occasion pastries of Southern Italy and North Africa demonstrate just this with the common use of of floral essences, spice, ground almonds, pistachios and honey. In Italy at Christmas we see deep fried honeyed dough steeped in honey (like fragrant Neapoletan Struffoli and Puglian Cartellate), and around Ramadan we find Moroccan Chebakia in abundance; rose shaped, spiced pastries also deep fried and steeped in honey. The trick is to use a light honey, such as Rowse Light & Mild, so the flavour of the spices aren't overcome.
My recipe is a take on the afore mentioned dishes, on the methods and depth of flavour shared by both regions who it seems are not so far apart. These spiced honey and sesame curls are best accompanied by a strong, unsweetened Turkish style tea; since we're already in the Mediterranean flavour mood, why not!

text: The weather finally cleared and we were airborne! The first task of the European Paragliding Championships took place on Thursday, 6 Sept. at St Andre les Alpes. Pilots launched into a light updraft and scratched a while until the sky finally decided to deliver its blessing of lift. All pilots made it onto the course, and the race was on. The task was a 103 km race up and down the region's magnificent peaks and sinuous valleys. The lift was reliable and widespread. In the end it was too widespread, for it ODed and dropped some rain. Due to the sensitivity of the new gliders to moisture, the task was stopped after three and a half hours, but already 73 pilots were in goal. In the end Xevi Bonet Dalmau from Spain flying a Niviuk Icepeak 6 took home the bacon in first place. (Photos Martin Scheel)

Broncos celebrated for their surprising Super Bowl win
Not everyone expected the Denver Broncos to bring home the Vince Lombardi trophy for their Super Bowl 50 win, but their fans turned out a million strong on Tuesday, Feb. 9, 2016 to show the love.
The parade through downtown Denver featured firetrucks galore loaded with Broncos players, wives, cheerleaders, staff, coaches and that impressive trophy. Fans thronged dozens deep along 17th Avenue and hundreds crowded onto Broadway barricades as the column slowly made its way past to Civic Center Park.
The celebration began in earnest when officials got their speeches out of the way and John Elway, Von Miller, Coach Gary Kubiak, DeMarcus Ware and Peyton Manning were each called to say a few words. Each indicated appreciation for the devotion and loyal support of fans.
Flames shot up periodically from ceremonial torches that emphasized the crowd's overwhelming roar. Finally, orange balloons were released and drifted away in a cloud. But jubilant fans lingered, enjoying the sunshine and the moment.
Today, our designer, Matt Swaney, ginned up this oh-so-perfect headline:

Study weakens hypothesized link between lack of Vitamin D and poorer birth outcomes for African-Americans
A new study investigating differences in birth outcomes among different races seems to disprove a long-held hypothesis that a lack of Vitamin D contributes to preterm births and low birth weights of African-American babies, researchers recently found at the University of Colorado, Denver.
Vitamin D is unlikely to play a role, according to the CU study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology.
"For years there has been this hypothesis that African-Americans have worse birth outcomes because they have more melanin in their skin which reflects the sun and therefore lowers levels of Vitamin D," study author Zaneta Thayer, said in release last week. "But in examining the relationship between ultraviolet exposure and birth outcomes nationwide, there was no evidence to support this."
The ultraviolet light theory holds that racial differences in many health outcomes between blacks and whites are associated with their varying abilities to synthesize Vitamin D from sunlight. Deficiencies in Vitamin D have been linked to increased risk of pregnancy complications, bone disorders, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and some cancers.
However, low birth weights, risk of depression and other illnesses also have been linked to race-based differences in socioeconomic status and discrimination.
Thayer, an assistant professor of anthropology, collected data on UV exposure in 48 states or territories from the National Weather Service website and data on low birth weights and preterm births from the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The study found that states with the greatest income inequalities had higher greater disparities in birth outcomes across the UV-exposure spectrum. The racial disparity in low birth weight outcomes was greatest among women living in areas with increased UV exposure and increased income inequality.
"Given the UV hypothesis, we would expect that women who live in the South would have better birth outcomes than those living in the North," Thayer said. "However, the present analysis suggests the exact opposite, with both absolute rates as well as racial disparities in adverse birth outcomes being greatest in southern states."
The states with the lowest racial disparities in low birth weights and preterm births were North Dakota and Vermont, which have the second- and third-lowest UV indexes respectively, Thayer found.
"The results suggest that the environment is a stronger contributor to adverse birth outcomes than genes," Thayer said. Secondly, disparities in birth outcomes in the U.S. are unlikely to be primarily shaped by differences in UV-induced VItamin D status."

John Metcalfe
John Metcalfe was CityLab's Bay Area bureau chief, covering climate change and the science of cities.
It's everyone's worst winter fear: You're outside grabbing a coffee, when you happen to look up and... Bam! Icicle through the eye.
OK, so getting facially impaled by an ice spear is an extremely improbable event. Yet it looms large enough in the American psyche to appear in at least two Hollywood films. (Freeze, Col. Stuart!) Expand the target to the whole body, and there's Sly Stallone benchpressing a baddie through an icicle in Cliffhanger and Sandra Oh getting one in the kidney in Grey's Anatomy.
But outside of the blood-streaked script rooms of Hollywood, how likely is it that Mother Nature will shiv you with an ice blade?
Sadly, NOAA does not maintain statistics on icicle injuries. It's a common enough occurrence, though, that just last week a woman in Belgrade was killed by a direct hit from a nine-pound icicle. Russia seems to be ground zero for this peculiar form of mayhem, with as many as 150 injuries and five deaths reported in 2010 alone. That casualty list included a baby hospitalized after an icicle sliced through her pram.
And in America, to judge from recurring press reports, there seems to be one city in particular that gets more than its average share of frosty missiles of doom: Chicago.
To Chicagoans used to seeing their city's distinctive yellow warning signs sprout up all over downtown after a cold snap, this news probably comes as no surprise. The weather setup over the next few days seems likely to bring out a mass influx of these signs, meant to limit a building owner's liability when someone gets conked outside by falling ice. The forecast calls for snow and freezing rain until Wednesday, at which point the mercury begins to rise into the lower 40s. Icicles growing in the shadowy eves of skyscrapers will winnow and snap, falling in a silent death plunge for more than 1,000 feet until they achieve shattering impact with the sidewalk, car roof or moving human flesh below.
Here's the grim ticker of Chicago ice carnage from years past:
2011: Assisting a woman whose car window was smashed by falling ice, a paramedic is himself clocked in the kisser by an icicle plummeting from a skyscraper, possibly the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears building). A bystander reports that the man sustained a "severe gash to the head," although he later stabilizes in the hospital.
2010: A woman chatting outside the North Bridge Mall is felled by a speeding chunk of ice. Paramedics swath her head in bandages and pack her away to the hospital. Said a property manager at the mall: "We have our signs warning people but sometimes Mother Nature takes its course."
2008: Icicle gashes a pedestrian walking the Loop. Also, a large piece of ice plunging down from somewhere takes out the windshield of an SUV.
2006: Part of Michigan Avenue is closed to traffic after ice is seen falling from the Hancock Center. Closing streets is a common safety tactic by Chicago emergency officials trying to minimize injury from falling ice.
2000: Eight people go the hospital in one day getting on the wrong side of frozen, falling water. One man who cheated death/massive bruising was Sonny Skinner, who told the Associated Press after dodging a four-foot ice caber that he "cringed as shards of ice hit his legs, but then pulled his jacket over his head and ran."
1994: Donald Booth is waiting for a cab on Michigan Avenue when a hunk of ice the "size of a microwave" lands on his head, crushing his skull and spinal column. The 49-year-old man dies. His family later receives $4.5 million in a lawsuit against Neiman-Marcus, the tenant of the building from which the ice came.
And this unfortunate event occurred in Cassopolis, Michigan, about a two-hour drive east of Chicago:
1903: A police officer is killed when a "huge icicle which fell upon him… cut off the top of his head."
What's the best defense against icicles? Walking in the street isn't necessarily smart, as falling ice can sail horizontally on wind drafts or be broken apart by building structures to become punishing cluster bombs. (And would you rather be hit by a car than an icicle?) The Chicago Tribune took up this question with an icicle expert; here's what he had to say:
"The big problem with the signs is that people may not be paying attention to the signs," Michael J. Smith, a professor in the University of Wisconsin at Madison's industrial and systems engineering department, told us this week. "They may see them but not read them as their minds are elsewhere.
"Second, people tend not to take actions that inconvenience them, such as see a sign, turning around and then going back to the previous corner to cross the street to get away from the falling ice. Rather they take the 'risk' of rushing by the danger zone and hoping not to get hit by falling ice.
"So the best solutions are to keep people away from danger zones using ways that block their path into the danger areas such as snow fences or barriers. ... Blocking access to ice fall areas is the most feasible of effective solutions, and relying simply on caution signs is a weak approach."

The coronavirus crisis stands to dramatically reshape cities around the world. But the biggest revolutions in urban space may have begun before the pandemic.
What do we know so far about the types of places that are more susceptible to the spread of Covid-19? In the U.S., density is just the beginning of the story.
Now more than ever, public transportation is not just about ridership. Buses, trains, and subways make urban civilization possible.
Places like New York, Miami and Las Vegas have a higher share of the workforce in jobs with close proximity to others, putting them at greater Covid-19 risk.
Will COVID-19 change how cities are designed? Michele Acuto of the Connected Cities Lab talks about density, urbanization and pandemic preparation.

The Most Eco-Friendly Things You Buy at the Grocery Store
Amaranth is the ancient pseudo-grain you may not have heard of, but should be eating. Like its more popular cousin quinoa, amaranth is a great source of complete protein. It's a resilient plant that can be grown in many different soil conditions and with little water and, to top it all off, it's loaded with fiber, important minerals and B vitamins.Dreamstime
Bamboo kitchen tools
Bamboo absorbs 35 percent more carbon dioxide per hectare than trees and can thrive without the use of pesticides, so choosing to buy bamboo over other material, when possible, is an eco-friendly no-brainer. These days many grocery stores stock bamboo kitchen tools like cutting boards and cooking utensils as well as certain not-so-obvious things like tea towels.istockphoto.com
Beans, peas and lentils
Beans (or pulses if you're feeling fancy) like chickpeas, kidney beans, lentils, peas and more, are among the most eco-friendly pantry staples you can buy in the grocery store. To begin with, beans are an excellent meat-alternative source of protein. They require less water and less land to produce - both good things when eco-conscious farming is concerned.
But these nutrient-dense, naturally gluten-free (not to mention cheap) sources of good, plant-based protein are not just less destructive to the environment - farming them actually has a positive impact on the ecosystem. Nitrogen-rich soil is essential for good plant health; bean plants "fix" nitrogen from the air, storing it in their roots until it gets plowed back into the soil once the crop has been harvested.istockphoto.com
Bring-your-own produce bags
Depending on where it is, it can take anywhere from 15 to 1,000 (!) years for a plastic bag to break down. Plastic bags don't just take up space in landfills - 8.8 million tons of plastic (bags included) end up in the ocean every year. That's the same as a garbage truck dumping a full load of trash into the ocean every minute. The plastic wreaks havoc upon aquatic species, causing choking, entanglements and destruction of habitat.
Giving up plastic bags for a more eco-friendly option is a no-brainer - it's easy to do, and once you get into the habit, it has zero effect on your own life while making a big difference. Use tote bags (everyone inevitably has too many anyway) or buy yourself a few of those reusable bags that fold away into practically nothing so you can always have one handy for any impromptu purchases.
If you really don't have any bags handy, ask your supermarket for an empty cardboard box, which is biodegradable. Extra points if you throw it on your compost heap after you are done using it!istockphoto.com
Bulk items
Items like granola, nuts, dried fruits, seeds and grains often come in plastic or cardboard packages. But you can go to the bulk section of your supermarket to find the same item. By bringing your own jars, cloth bags and other reusable containers, you can cut out all of that unnecessary, non-eco-friendly material and still stock up on your favorite dry goods.
Some stores even sell items like olive oil, maple syrup and other less commonly found items in bulk! With a bit of research, you can easily cut down on the amount of packaging you bring home after each trip to the grocery store.istockphoto.com
Compostable cutlery and party plates
When plastic and paper plates and other disposable items come into contact with food, they are considered contaminated, making it impossible to recycle them - meaning they are destined, like so much waste, for the landfill, where they will sit for years and years.
If you really need to buy single-use dishes and cutlery, opt for a more eco-friendly option by buying something that can be composted.istockphoto.com
Fair trade items
Anything labeled as "fair trade" is guaranteed to be made by workers in fair conditions. Environmental protection is a key element of fair trade producers' view of sustainability. When a product is fair trade, manufacturers make sure that both the worker and the local environment are treated in a sustainable and respectful way with minimum negative impact.
Coffee, chocolate, tea, cotton and sugar are some of the most prevalent fair trade items found in supermarkets, but more and more options, like soft drinks and even Ben and Jerry's ice cream, are increasingly produced according to fair trade standards.istockphoto.com
They may be full of dead wasps (kind of) but figs are a great, naturally sustainable crop. The trees thrive in dry and sunny weather, do well even in poor soil, and require much less water than other fruit trees (like almonds). Fig trees are naturally hardy and resilient, which means few herbicides and pesticides are used in fig production.
Not only do they do well in inhospitable surroundings, they also provide essential shelter to various animals and even help cool down the nearby habitat!istockphoto.com
Local and seasonal products
A great way to shop in a more eco-friendly way is to choose as many local and seasonal items as possible. That's not just because supporting local farmers and producers connects you directly with your immediate environment; by buying and eating more local food, you can ensure that your food hasn't traveled hundreds or even thousands of miles to get to you, meaning that its carbon footprint is probably a lot smaller than similar ingredients from farther afield.istockphoto.com
Loose leaf tea
Buy loose leaf tea and use a stainless-steel tea infuser and never buy tea bags again! With their string, staple and (often) chemical- and plastic-laced nylon mesh bag, a lot of tea bags are not actually compostable, though people may think that they are.
To cut down on the unnecessary packaging, buy loose leaf tea from the bulk section - with a reusable container, obviously!istockphoto.com
Farmed mussels, both tasty and cheap, might be the most sustainable meat out there. Because they filter plankton and microscopic nutrients from the water, they require no feed and can even purify the waters that they're growing in.istockphoto.com
Natural cleaning products
What happens to all of those chemicals that end up being washed down the drain and into the surrounding environment? Does the thought give you the heebie jeebies? Because it should!
It makes sense that all-natural cleaning products are better for the environment, right? These days you can find some really great products, like dish soap, laundry detergent, deodorant and shampoo, that are free of all the nasty chemicals we have grown so accustomed to. Eco-friendly cleaning products are made using sustainable manufacturing practices and naturally-derived, safe, nontoxic and biodegradable ingredients that don't negatively impact the environment. Back in the day, some of these natural alternatives didn't always cut though grease and dirt the way their chemical compadres did, but with increasing awareness and demand for eco-friendly products, it is becoming easier and easier to find great, low-impact items that actually get the job done!istockphoto.com
Organic meat and produce
Whenever possible, choose organic. - even if you switch out just a few of your regular items for their organic counterparts, it will make a difference. Organic means that a food is grown and processed according to specific guidelines that require strict monitoring of things like soil quality, pest and weed control, animal-raising practices and use of additives.
Organic produce must be grown on soil that has been free of prohibited substances like pesticides and chemical fertilizers for at least three years. For meat to be labeled organic, the animals must be reared, free of antibiotics or hormones, in a way that accommodates for their natural behaviors, like grazing on pastures and eating a diet that is 100 percent organic. This translates, basically, to happier and healthier animals. Why would you want to encourage any other kind of animal husbandry?istockphoto.com
Organic tofu
If you are looking for a great eco-friendly alternative to those high-greenhouse-emission meat products, organic tofu is a great option. Soybeans require far less water to produce than meat (not to mention less feed), and buying the organic stuff ensures that no GMO crops or synthetic chemicals are being used.
Not all tofu is created equal, however; soy production is responsible for a large amount of deforestation, and therefore is not always eco-friendly. That's why it is especially important to read the labels and find out where the soybeans used in the tofu you are buying have been sourced from.istockphoto.com
Ahh the lovely, delicious, and versatile potato! Compared to another hard-hitting carb, rice (perhaps the hardest-hitting carb other than wheat), potatoes are an eco-friendly godsend, requiring just 50 gallons of water per pound, compared to the 403 gallons of water per pound that is needed for rice.
Potatoes also produce natural pesticides and fungicides that greatly reduce the need for and use of chemical pesticides and other chemicals. To top everything off, potatoes are naturally gluten-free, an excellent source of vitamin C, and (if you eat the skin, which is delicious) a great source of potassium. Go ahead, knock your socks off and enjoy some scrumptious spuds.istockphoto.com
Reusable baby food pouches
They might be trendy, they might even be organic, but those sealed, single-use pouches of seemingly "good" baby food are actually terrible for the environment, since they cannot be recycled due to the impossible-to-remove food residue.
If you cannot live without the convenience of the little pouches, buy some that are resealable and can be filled at home, cleaned, and used over and over again!Amazon
Reusable bottles
This one is a no-brainer, right? Instead of buying endless amounts of plastic bottles, get yourself a single good-quality bottle made of plastic or glass and cut down on the appalling number of plastic bottles that end up in landfills.istockphoto.com
Reusable coffee cups
Just like bottles, reusable coffee cups are an easy switch to make that will help out the environment. Instead of going through hundreds of disposable coffee cups a year use a mug that can be filled over and over again. Most thermoses and coffee cups are actually even easier to carry around than their flimsy laminated relatives. You don't even have to stop buying your beverages - just ask your barista to make your drink of choice into your handy and eco-friendly travel mug instead!istockphoto.com
Reusable sandwich wraps
What on Earth is a sandwich wrap? you may be asking. And why should I be using one? These handy wraps, made from waxed cloth, completely eliminate the need for those troubling single-use plastic bags that are so synonymous with a packed lunch. They keep your sandwiches safe and snug until lunchtime and can even be used as a makeshift placemat while you eat.Amazon
Reusable straws
Plastic straws have been a hot topic lately, with several cities and restaurant chains giving them up entirely in an effort to save the environment. You should give up plastic straws too! If the idea of sipping your smoothie sans-straw horrifies you, don't panic - there are tons of different options when it comes to eco-friendly straws. Choose glass, stainless steel, or bamboo straws and sleep soundly at night knowing you have avoided one of the least eco-friendly things you can buy at the grocery store.

We reach for our phones throughout the day to send texts and tweets, read emails, check the weather and perform a multitude of other tasks.
Smartphones are so ingrained in daily life that it's not surprising that addiction to such devices is on the rise.
So what would it take for you to ignore your cellphone?
UNICEF hopes the promise of clean water for a needy child will be the trick.
As part of a new initiative from its Tap Project, sponsors will donate a dollar for every 10 minutes you don't touch your phone — enough to provide a day's worth of water to a child.
There are 768 million people worldwide who don't have access to clean water, according to UNICEF, and 1,400 children die from diseases linked to unsafe water each day.
In short, by putting down your non-vital smartphone, you can provide someone with water vital to their survival.
The Tap Project has been in existence since 2007 and is more than just a smartphone campaign. It's part of UNICEF's seventh Millennium Development Goal, which aims to half the number of people without access to safe water by 2015.
To participate, go to UnicefTapProject.org on your phone's Web browser and follow the instructions.
When your phone is steady, click to start the clock. If you accidentally nudge your phone — or pick it up to reply to a text message — you have a 10-second window to set it back down to keep the ticker running.

This chapter describes how to create a BPM project using a BPMN process stored in a BPA repository. Importing BPA projects to Oracle BPM enables Process analysts to develop a project using Oracle BPA and then hand it over to process developers for them to complete the implementation details using Oracle BPM Studio.
This chapter includes the following sections:
Section 6.1, "Introduction to Importing Processes from the BPA Repository"
Oracle BPM Studio enables you to create a BPM project based on a BPMN process stored in a BPA repository.
You can create and implement a BPMN process in BPA and then import it to Oracle BPM. This creates a BPM Project that contains the BPMN process and all of the components used to implement it, such as Human Tasks, Service Adapters and Mediators.
Figure 6-1 shows a BPMN model of the Sales Quote example implemented in BPA.
You can create a BPMN model using the BPA Architect application and import it to Oracle BPM. Oracle BPM Studio creates a BPM project that contains the BPMN process you selected and the components used to implement the activities in the BPMN model.
Before importing a BPA project to BPM, ensure your BPA project respects the following rules:
If the Catalog and Repository information are missing in the BPA project, then the process created by importing the BPA project to Oracle BPM contains unimplemented business rule tasks.
If the Human Tasks in the BPA project are not associated with a swimlane, then importing the BPA project to Oracle BPM causes an error because the Human Task is not associated with a valid role.
It does not contain nested subprocesses.
Table 6-1 shows how the different BPA constructs are translated to BPMN constructs when importing a project. Gateways and events remain the same. Note that since Oracle BPM Suite does not support pools and message flows, you can only translate one BPA tool at a time.
Table 6-1 Correspondence Between BPA and BPMN constructs
|BPA Construct
|BPMN Construct
Automated Activity
Service Task
Human Task
User Task
Rules Task
Rules Task
Notification Task
FYI Task
If you want to use a BPA project to create a BPM project in Oracle BPM, then you must configure your BPA project to access it from Oracle BPM.
To configure a BPA project to use it from Oracle BPM:
In the BPA Application, select SOA.
Select Share Blueprint.
A validation dialog appears.
Click Yes to validate the project, or No to continue without validating.
A dialog that displays the progress of the conversion appears.
Click OK.
Before following this procedure ensure that your BPA project is configured to use it from Oracle BPM. See Section 6.2.1, "How to Configure a BPA Project to Use It from Oracle BPM" for information on how to configure a BPA project to use from Oracle BPM.
To create a BPM project from a BPA project:
In Oracle BPM Studio, select File and then select New.
The New Gallery dialog appears.
In the Categories tree, select BPM Tier.
In the Items list, select Create Project from BPA.
Click OK.
The Create Project from a BPA Project wizard appears.
Enter a name to identify the BPM project.
Enter a directory to store the project, or click the browse button to browse and select one.
Click the Browse button next to the BPA Server field.
The Create BPA Blueprint Composite dialog appears.
If the BPA Servers list is empty, then you must add a new BPA server.
See Section 6.2.3, "How to Add a BPA Server" for information on how to add a BPA server.
In the BPA Servers list, expand a server node and its subfolders until the BPMN processes appear.
Select a BPMN process.
Click OK.
The Create BPA Blueprint Composite dialog closes and the selected server appears in the Server field.
Click OK.
The Summary page appears.
Click OK.
The BPM project you created from the BPMN model you selected from the BPA repository appears in Oracle BPM Studio.
You must configure the implementation of certain BPMN flow objects, such as gateways, business rules, and human tasks, in a BPM project created from a BPA project. Not doing so causes errors when building the BPM Project.
You must define a BPA server from which Oracle BPM obtains the BPA project. After you define a BPA server you can reuse it for all the BPA projects that reside in that BPA server to import them to Oracle BPM.
To add a BPA server:
Click the Create BPA Server Connection button.
The BPA Server Connection dialog appears.
In the Name field, enter a name to identify the connection.
From the Location list, select the type of location that corresponds to your BPA Architect configuration.
The available location types are:
Local Server: the BPA Architect application directly connects to the BPA repository.
Remote Server: the BPA Architect application connects to BPA repository server, which in turn connects to the BPA repository.
From the Database list, select the database that contains the BPMN process.
From the Locale list, select the locale of your BPA project.
In the Username field, enter the username for the BPA Architect user.
In the Password field, enter the password for the BPA Architect user.
If you want to test the connection, then you must click the Test tab and then click Test Connection.
The Connection Diagnosis field shows you a message with the result of the test.
Click OK.
The BPA Server Connection dialog closes and the new connection appears in the BPA Servers list in the Create BPA Blueprint Composite dialog.
Oracle BPM Studio creates a BPM project that contains the BPMN model you chose to import. The BPMN project contains an SOA Composite with the components used to implement the BPMN model such as Human Tasks, Service Adapters, and Mediators. These components also appear in the business catalog as any component in the SOA Composite. See Chapter 9, "Using the Business Catalog" for more information on how components are organized in the business catalog.
Note that you must configure the implementation of certain BPMN flow objects, such as gateways, business rules, and human tasks, in a BPM project created from a BPA project. Not doing so, causes errors when building the BPM Project.
After you create a BPMN process based on a BPA model you can make changes to the BPA model and then update the BPMN process.
Oracle BPM Studio shows the difference between your local BPMN process and the BPMN process that results from importing the updated BPA model, using a graphic. After looking at the graphic you can choose to accept the changes or discard them.
After updating a BPA model that you used to create a BPMN process, you can update the BPMN process to reflect the changes in the BPA process. The resulting BPMN process shows all the changes you made to the BPA process.
To merge changes from an updated BPA model:
In the Project Navigator tree, right-click the BPMN process that you imported from the BPA server.
Select Refresh from BPA.
The Process Differ dialog appears. Figure 6-2 shows an example of the Process Differ dialog.
Click OK to accept the changes.
The updated BPMN process shows all the changes you made to the BPA model. The merge only affects the BPMN process and not the rest of the artifacts in the BPM project.
If you want to revert the changes, close the BPMN process without saving the changes.

notoveryet brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 158 Designs von 39 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
ArtSeven is a full-service interactive agency that helps individuals and small businesses deliver on interactive goals and increase profitability.
ArtSeven (ArtSeven, artseven, or ARTSEVEN variations can be used)
Our services include website development, internet marketing, email marketing, search engine optimization, social media marketing, web application development, and information architecture. We tried designing the logo in-house but grew too close to the name and definitely need help from the talented designers around the world. We are looking for a logo that will work well on all of our marketing and branding efforts. Down the road, we may develop a downloadable product and sell it online. We also need web design work done but that'll be a separate contest. (http://www.artseven.com)
- Contemporary, modern, web 2.0, and professional.
- Simplicity is virtue – the logo should not be "too busy."
- Logo should indicate that this company is an interactive agency. We are considering the use of "Interactive and Web Solutions" or "Internet Development" tag lines. It would be great to have a logo that would work well with and without a tag line.
- As for the symbol, it can be something to do with the number 7 or seven vector objects or seven colors. Or it doesn't have to be – we are open to different ideas. In any case, there has to be a meaning behind the symbol. We may use the symbol on its own (e.g. on products, seals, etc.) so it has to be unique and memorable. It should also be minimal and professional. We want folks to say "wow, this logo is simple but brilliant." Could have a 3D effect.
- The logo has to be vector and preferably designed in Adobe Illustrator.
- We would like a business card and letterhead design to go with the logo.
- Editable source and prepress files should be included for all assets. We'll purchase the fonts if we don't already have them.
- A black and white and on black background logo should also be included
- Orange Gray Black, Green Gray Black, or Blue Gray Black color scheme. Again, we are open to ideas.
- Just have fun with it. We are really excited about this!
- I don't know if this is helpful but here are the logos we like:
- http://edge.sapient.com/assets/imag…ntLogo.jpg
- http://www.fuelyourcreativity.com/w…9bff1c.png

- No clip art.
- No initials of AS.
- Colors to avoid: dull colors, boring colors, colors hard to reproduce or see on the web and print.

Merkingu Lion Tattoos
There ert margir merkingu ljón tattoo. Fólk sem velur fyrir ljón húðflúr langar til að öðlast styrk í lífi sínu. Það er að mestu að gefa út merki um kraft og vald. Viltu vita meira um hvað ljón tattoo meina? Þá láta mig útskýra það til þín í smá nánar.
One of the meanings of lion tattoos has its basis in a fairy tale story of 'The Wizard of Oz'. The story has a character of a cowardly lion, who wanted courage all his life. Thus, those who are a bit scared in their lives and want something to boost their courage, the lion tattoo meaning will surely help them muster up some courage.
You may like to choose a sitting lion design, that is cool and regal in appearance. This lion tattoo means you are a person that is in charge of your strength and power. In order to gain respect, you do not need to show your teeth. A lion tattoo in attack pose, has a different meaning. This lion tattoos meaning gives out a signal that you won't shy away from standing up to yourself.
Lion tattoo meanings are also a way to represent your astrological sign of Leo. The Leo tattoo is a symbol of being a warm hearted person, who is generous, loving and a bit bossy, little patronizing and a tad arrogant. In case of Christianity, the lion tattoos meaning becomes an icon of justice and power. In Buddhism, the meaning of lion tattoos symbolizes knowledge and wisdom. It is a representation of the Lion Throne known as Simhasana, the throne of wisdom. In Hinduism it represents Lord Krishna, due to its radiating energy and aura.
The Egyptians used the symbol of two lions sitting back to back to represent balance. The lion statues were placed outside many sacred places representing guardianship. Thus, the lion tattoos meaning hold true for the virtues of protection and security. The sword and lion is a symbol of power of Islam and one of the most popular designs in Persia.
This was all about the male lion, the king of the beasts. But, we should not overlook the tattoo designs that represent his better half, the lioness. The lioness is associated with the moon and in ancient Egypt, she was a symbol of maternity. The lioness was represented as the mother goddess that gave birth to all that exists. There is another legend among the many stories of King Arthur, that the lost city of Lyonesse or 'she-lion' lies just beyond the city of Cornwall.

The kids are very much beginners in the Logic unit, so we gradually dialed up on the cognitive load by playing two easier warm-up games before the real game. I also had them set their notes from yesterday out on their desk for reference.
Warmup Game 1: Easy Mode
1) Use only the True/False cards and the cube.
2) Distribute half the cards to each player.
3) The person whose birthday is next wins when the outcome is True. The other person wins when the outcome is False.
4) Game play is like "War." On each turn, each player flips over one card, and the cube is rolled. The players work together to determine whether the resulting compound statement is True or False. The winner keeps both cards.
5) The game is over when time is up or one person gets all the cards.
So if this happened, "True" would win the round:
We only played Game 1 for a couple minutes, because it's pretty lame. Not very challenging, no strategy, also the "True" player has an advantage, because more of the possible statements come out True. On to...
Warmup Game 2: Like Game 1 but Harder
1) Use only the Statement cards and the cube.
2) Shuffle and randomly distribute 10 cards to each player. I gave them a few minutes to look through them to familiarize themselves with what the statements looked like, and think about whether they were true or false.
3) The person whose birthday is next wins when the outcome is True. The other person wins when the outcome is False.
4) Game play is like "War." On each turn, each player flips over one card, and the cube is rolled. The players work together to determine whether the resulting compound statement is True or False. The winner keeps both cards.
5) The game is over when time is up, or when one person gets all the cards.
6) VARIATION: Each player also gets two negation chips. A negation chip can be played at ANY TIME, but can only be used once and must be discarded after use.
So if this happened, False would win the round:
So that was all a warm up to familiarize ourselves with the materials, and remember the stuff we learned about yesterday. Still kind of lame because there's not really any strategy. Finally, we get to play the very fun...
The Real Game (which still needs a good name)
1) Each player gets: 10 Statement Cards, 5 True/False Cards and, 2 Negation Chips. You will be choosing cards to play on each turn, so it's ok to look at all the cards in your hand. (You could deal out more or less cards if you want the game to take more or less time. This number was manageable for about a ten-minute game. Most groups were able to play two games.)
2) The goal is to get rid of all your cards by making statements that work.
3) Game play is turn-based. On your turn, you select three cards and place them in the field of play: two statement cards and a True/False card.
4) Then, roll the cube.
5) Both players should agree on whether the resulting compound statement works or not. If the statement works, you discard the three cards used in the turn, and go again. If the statement doesn't work, you keep the cards in your hand, and lose your turn.
6) A negation chip can be played at any time. Even after the cube is rolled. However, once a negation chip is used, it must be discarded, whether the resulting statement worked or not.
7) The player that gets rid of all her cards first, wins.
So if a player selected these three cards, and rolled OR, the statement works:
But if a player selected these three cards, and rolled IF THEN, the statement does not work:
HOWEVER, if they still have negation chips, they could play one now:
and now the statement works, so they can discard these cards and go again.
All the kids were engaged in playing for the whole period. Some of them asked "Can we play this again?" which blew my mind. I intended to do an exit assessment but didn't, so I'll give it to them at the beginning of class tomorrow and see what they retained. If I made new games, I would make the Statement Cards a different color from the T/F cards for easier sorting. It also needs an awesome, catchy name! But I haven't thought of anything worthy yet.
The final version owes a big debt to my colleague Dina Kushnir who talked through the game play with me, and came up with some of the basic mechanics. I'd also like to thank Maria Andersen for all her writing and insights about what makes a good math game - I don't think this would exist without her.
Here are some resources so you can make your own games. Enjoy!

Classic fall football poses were a staple of news photography
Every autumn, as colleges and high schools assembled their best football talent for the gridiron challenges ahead, time was carved out of practices to allow the media its day on the field. News photographers showed up to take team photos and single out the stars for portraits.
These classic football poses were imaginative shots where unusual angles were sought to highlight the player's best attributes, be it speed, bulk or hands.
A look back at some of these from The Denver Post archives also shows the evolution of football equipment. Note the roomy helmets, lace-up boots, small shoulder pads and scrunchy socks.
Below, the son of famous coach Knute Rockne, Knute Rockne Jr., strikes a vigorous pose. He was also famous for running with his tongue hanging out, as most of his gridiron photos show.
Below, Harry Stuhldreher, a three-time All American and famous quarterback at the University of Notre Dame was one of the "Four Horsemen" of the undefeated Notre Dame eleven from 1922-24. He was one of the smallest quarterbacks there at 5'7″ and 151 lbs. He went on to a coaching career at Villa Nova College at the highest starting salary ever paid a coach by that Philadephia institution.
Though the sport is sleeker, more professional and faster today, it may just be a little less fun than it looks like these players were having. The same could be said for the hard-working photographers, whose jobs today are just as sleek, professional and fast-paced, and who had a ball capturing their prey in the good-old gridiron days of the past 90 years.
Below, a 1989 action shot of Notre Dame's Tony Rice was taken by Denver Post photographer John Leyba who is still snapping gridiron shots today, albeit on the NFL scene now.
A special thanks to Denver Post photographer Joe Amon, who contributed to this post.

I'm doing OK or great in two of my three leagues, but due to some unexpectedly poor starts and the lack of a top notch WR and TE, I'm really struggling in my third league (0-3). This is a standard scoring, no PPR league. We start a QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, RB/WR, TE, K and D.
Here's my team:
QB Cam Newton
QB Andrew Luck
RB LeSean McCoy
RB Darren McFadden
RB Doug Martin
RB Ryan Williams
RB Tashard Choice
WR Dez Bryant
WR Stevie Johnson
WR Eric Decker
WR Pierre Garcon
WR Mike Williams
TE Jason Witten
K Nate Kaeding
D Atlanta (I switch just about every week based on matchups)
I've been offered Steve Smith (CAR) for Darren McFadden. My gut feeling is no, as, barring injury, Run DMC is certainly more valuable than Steve Smith, but I suppose it's worth considering due to my lack of a WR1 and the fact that I'd have a nice combination with Cam if he ever gets his stuff together. Personally, I think Doug Martin for Smith is a fairer trade.
Let me know your thoughts (and if you have any other ideas on improving this team)...

I want to automate backups on my webspace. My provider allows for cronjobs to be executed once a day. I have already implemented a cronjob that backs up my database with mySQLdumper, using a perl script. Now I want to use a script that backs up all my files in a specific folder (e.g. /folder/), zips them and moves them to /backups/
Is there a way to do so? If yes, could you recommend a good perl script template that lets me easily modify it so I can use it the way I want? Ideally, it would also have the feature to exclude certain file types, like jpg, gif and png.

I've written before about interviewing, but I think there's a topic people have ignored, namely that people conducting interviews forget (in my vast experience of employment in 2 companies) is that a part of the purpose of the interview is to sell the group/company to the interviewee.
Shortly after the post in August, a friend of mine started looking for jobs, he interviewed at companies X and Y, and his experiences were very different.
Let me compare and contrast the two interviews:
At company X, he was underwhelmed by the technical lead for the job (the guy is nice, but somewhat soft-spoken, so not a lot of energy/excitement), and the questions posed by all the interviewers were pretty shallow. In other words, the questions were like, "write a routine to do sorting", which he did, and then they moved on to the next question - no further investigation of why he chose that, how might he optimize it, etc. etc. etc. It sounded kind of like watching an interview on TV where the questions were all 'yes' or 'no' questions.
At company Y, the questions were very often 'deep' questions, where the initial answer was picked apart and explored. The questions also seemed to be a little more interesting and challenging - one of the guys asked my friend how he might approach a problem that the guy had been working on that entire week.
Needless to say, my friend decided against working at company X and was very tempted by company Y.
I recall my interview at Mentor, and it was somewhat similar to my friend's at company X, only I wasn't asked to write any code. I did bring some samples of what I'd written and offered them to the hiring manager. I presume the interviewers liked what they saw in me, but I was concerned because I expected to be asked to show some level of competence in the job for which I was interviewing (a programmer).
I always figured that if you're interviewing for a job at an auto-repair shop, you'd be expected to poke around an engine and show some competence. The same thing should go for a programming job. And, wouldn't you be a little concerned if you knew your mechanic didn't require a competency exam before hiring his mechanics? (See raganwald's hiring a juggler post.)
So remember, the quality of the interview you provide influences how the interviewee views the company.

I think the thing that has to be done for interviewing for companies is the ability to filter them out. One of the best ways would be to find the recruiters that will help filter the jobs. I recently wrote about this myself.

I agree few initial tests are difficult because of knowledge and inertia and the best way to approach is to start with simplest of JUnit tests. In this JUnit tutorial, I will show you how to write and execute JUnit test from Eclipse and Netbeans, two popular Java IDE.
By the way, if you are looking for any good book on JUnit and unit testing, you should look Pragmatic Unit Testing in Java with JUnit, it's an amazing book and teaches a lot about both JUnit and unit testing in Java.
JUnit 3 and JUnit 4 testing framework
Main difference between JUnit 4 and JUnit 3 is that, JUnit4 is based on annotation feature of Java 1.5 and easy to write, while JUnit 3 uses "test" keyword, to identify test methods. What is bonus in terms of writing JUnit tests for Java program is that, two of most popular Java IDE, Eclipse and Netbeans has inbuilt support and provides easy interface and infrastructure to create and execute JUnit tests for Java classes.
In this JUnit 4 tutorial, we will see step by step guide for writing JUnit test in Eclipse and Netbeans with simple example of Calculator. Our Calculator class has methods add() and multiply() for addition and multiplication, I have used variable arguments of Java 1.5 to implement these methods, so that they can accept any number of parameter.
How to write JUnit tests in Eclipse
How to execute JUnit tests in Eclipse
Why are my JUnit results not showing up?Some time when your all JUnit tests passed you may not see any result, because of an option called "Show Failures Only". For more satisfying results, go to the downward-pointing triangle at the right end of the JUnit pane, and make sure Show Failures Only is not checked, as shown in following screenshot. Some time your JUnit test will not succeed i.e. it will fail or run into error. In JUnit, there is difference between a "failure" and an "error"? A failure is when one of your assertions fails--that is, your program does something wrong, and your JUnit test notices and reports the fact. An error is when some other Exception occurs due to programming mistakes, such as a NullPointerException or an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. Both error and failure are not good for your code. A good Junit test case should be able to bring failure and error a like. You should also ensure that your JUnit testcase should pass always and doesn't throw any error or failures.
How to create JUnit Test suit in EclipseLike individual unit tests, you can also create a test suite for creating tests for more than one classes in Java. In order to create JUnit test suite in Eclipse Go to File → New → Other... → Java → JUnit → TestSuite, and click Next>. Select all the classes, and click Finish. Once created, You can run this test suite the same way you run other JUnit tests. Result of JUnit test suite will also show in JUnit console like previous run.

Black Swan is coming
It began in Venice, Black Swan being declared one of the best of the year and expected to contend at the Oscars. Then they went underground with the hype for a while, smartly I think, to make sure it didn't buzz out before the release date on December 3rd. So we're close now, a month away from the Golden Globe nominations and then it's balls out from there.
Last night was the closing of AFI Fest featuring Black Swan and most of its cast, certainly the key players, including both Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis, along with Vincent Cassel, director Darren Aronofsky, fresh off the announcement of his split from Rachel Weisz, and, sigh, Winona Ryder.
This is what I wrote about Winona Ryder at TIFF – click here –and I still feel the same way. With Winona it's not age but what she's been through, goes through, endures. Like many of you, I still see her the way she was. It's jarring to be reminded that that isn't now anymore.
Also, if I had a time machine, I'd just go back to that year when she and Gwyneth were best friends. The final photo in this series is one of my favourites. They're around 25. They're at the top. They're in New York. They're SO tight. Every night it's parties and fashion and champagne and handholding from one open door to another. And as quickly as it came, it was over. I love gossip nostalgia.

Lindsay Lohan to Play [Spoiler] on Glee!Wednesday, March 28, 2012
Glee is going Lindsane.
The Fox hit is in final negotiations with Lindsay Lohan to guest star in one of this season's final episodes, TVLine has learned exclusively. What's more, she'll be playing the role she was born to: herself!
An insider at the Fox hit confirms that, if the deal is sealed, the movie star-turned-tabloid queen — once famously the butt of a joke on the show — will serve as a celebrity judge at Nationals. Although there's no word yet as to who might be joining Lohan on the panel, past judges for the annual season-ending competition have included Josh Groban and Olivia Newton-John.
The Glee gig would mark the latest leg of the troubled actress' Hollywood comeback, which got underway last month when she hosted Saturday Night Live. Her last scripted TV gig was a 2008 arc on Ugly Betty. She's currently in talks to play acting legend Elizabeth Taylor in a Lifetime biopic.
