Welcome back IFTA filers, hope you are fit and fine. For a long time, we have only been transferring information on paper, which would have bored you by now. So this time we decided to gear up with some history classes, making the blog reading session much exciting than before, assuring your eyes glued to the screen till the end.
So what is the topic of the blog today? Well, we are going to speak about diesel, how and when was it discovered, what were the early experiments made and much more. Keep reading further to know all about diesel.
So What Is Diesel?
Diesel is one of the fuels that is refined from crude oil. This fuel is considered as the mid-weight petroleum product, whereas gasoline and kerosene are the examples of light petroleum products. However, recent engineering changes allow for the burning of more highly refined diesel fuel that pollutes less.
Early Experimentation With Petroleum Diesel:
With time, the petroleum industry grew, and a lower grade fuel similar to the fuel oil was developed. In 1922, the development of diesel injection pump was recognized for the commercial use of petroleum-based diesel that was initiated. Soon later, the road test began with Bosch pump in 1924. Moreover, in 1927, the commercial production of the pumps was initiated and the first experimental diesel powered car was introduced also introduced.
Early Diesel Fuels:
The development of diesel and experimental on vehicles was on a synergistic process. The possibility of the sale triggered more of refining each time, encouraged for further development. During the early days, the diesel fuels had high sulfur content, resulting in increase of pollution. As the diesel engine did not have lubricating oil, the fuel supplied it. Higher sulfur levels gave the fuel more lubricating ability.
Introduction to Commercial Vehicle:
In the year 1936, Mercedes introduced its first automobile, Mercedes-Benz 260D. However, the interest in diesel-powered cars grew after the World War II. As this fuel was indulged in providing the vehicle with high efficient results, many of the taxi companies opted for diesel engine for cost-effectiveness. With time, the increased of diesel fuel caused a shortage of the fuel in 1940s-1950s.
Although these diesel-fueled cars were growing common, the Volkswagen introduced the first compact car with a diesel engine in 1975. The Diesel Jetta was introduced in the response to the oil crisis in the 1970s and was tagged as the most fuel-efficient car. However, with the passing time, there was a vast improvement in the diesel engines for passenger cars, resulting in popularity of diesel-powered cars in Europe.
Modern Diesel Fuels:
In the modern diesel fuels, you would be able to find less of sulfur, which results in fewer sulfur emissions at the tailpipe. However, most of the nation has now ban high and mid sulfur diesel fuels, and limit their use to off-road and industrial purpose. In 2006, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency mandated the usage of ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel. When this fuel is combined with modern emission control systems, the result is an automobile that has tailpipe emissions as low as, and sometimes lower than, traditional gasoline-powered cars.
With the world's oil supply is shrinking, interest rebounded in Rudolph Diesel's original engines that burned vegetable oil. However, if there are minor engine modifications done, every modern engine can burn vegetable oil. Some of the vehicle owners collect vegetable oil from fast food restaurants, and by filtering the oil, it can be burned in numerous modern cars.
This is how diesel took its leap in the modern world and today, the demand is touching the sky. However, if you have IFTA license and crossing your base jurisdiction, you are liable to file IFTA return for the quarter. So gear up filers, the first quarter due date is round the clock. We hope are ready with the documents for filing your return. Come over to TaxIFTA.com and prepare your return without any errors to discover. It is easy, simple and much time efficient.
If you are looking forward to have a word with our Tax Experts , simply call them @ 1-866-245-3918 or shoot an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. We are here to serve you with your requirements.

The Top Ten Best Angry Birds Space Characters
The orange bird, first introduced in AB seasons Haw-o-ween, expands like a balloon, so (excuding the mighty eagle) orange bird is the biggest and smallest! He came to space because he smelled Utopia (the Candy Planet)! Check out the Haw-o-ween short movie to see the orange bird!
He's smilelable but has a amazing power. He puffs! He can also break through wood and glass easily. He is little bigger then the blue bird but I still think he's the best even know he is small.
The legend powerful, one bomb can finish a level
Firebomb is the best but I think Lazer bird has made the best improvement upon his original form
It causes more damage than the original black bird.
Oh yeah, you can hit anywhere with him!
Zzt! Laser Bird is Great! He's Yellow Bird in his Space form, although mistaken for a new bird.
BASH! Terence can destroy best of all! He is is green now, and no longer called big brother. His launch noise is now a roar!
This bird is the best and why do people like the mighty eagle he spoils the fun
Yah go boomerang bird
Go boomerang bird
Go boomerang bird.
He deserves to be in every game!
The Contenders
Bigger then king pig
Waay better than Ice Bird, who just freezes things! Space egg creates a black hole!

Pay attention to the icing process of this soup and you will have a first course that is bright green, sweet and velvety smooth. You can also serve it in glass shooters on a buffet or as a passed hors d'oeuvre. The bright green color enhances every setting and the taste will leave everyone asking for more. Serve cold with homemade croutons.
Prep time: 15 minutes
Green Pea Soup
By July 16, 2014Published:
- 8 Servings
- 8 cups peas fresh/frozen
- 2 large celery Stalks cleaned and chopped coarsely
- 1 large onion peeled,cored, and chopped coarsely
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons sugar optional
- white pepper optional
- 8 quart stock pot
- large colander
- large mixing bowl
- medium mixing bowl
- electric food processor steel knife inserted
- fine strainer
- Defrost and drain frozen peas or rinse fresh ones. Set aside.
- Heat oil in stock pot over medium heat. Add chopped celery and onion and cook until they are soft. Stir often. When vegetables are soft, add vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Add peas. Bring broth back to a boil and then lower heat until broth is simmering. Simmer UNCOVERED 15 minutes-until peas are very tender.
- Place colander in large mixing bowl. Carefully, drain peas into colander. Reserve cooking liquid in mixing bowl. Be careful- if you are using a stainless steel bowl, it will be hot.
- Puree peas in batches in processor. Add a little broth at a time so that the puree is very smooth. As the soup is pureed, pour it into the medium mixing bowl. Pour ice on the bottom of the larger mixing bowl and place smaller bowl of soup on top of it. Place more ice around bowl of soup. Take care not to allow any ice to fall into the soup. Stir Green Pea Soup over ice until it has completely cooled. Add more ice as it melts. This process keeps the soup bright green.
- After soup has fully cooled, pour it through a fine strainer to catch any shells that were not pureed. Chill in the fridge until you are ready to serve it. Taste. Add sugar ( a little at a time) and white pepper to taste. Serve with homemade croutons. Enjoy.

Mitochondria are cytosolic organelles essential for generating energy and maintaining cell homeostasis. Despite their critical function, the handful of proteins expressed by the mitochondrial genome is insufficient to maintain mitochondrial structure or activity. Accordingly, mitochondrial metabolism is fully dependent on factors encoded by the nuclear DNA, including many proteins synthesized in the cytosol and imported into mitochondria via established mechanisms. However, there is growing evidence that mammalian mitochondria can also import cytosolic noncoding RNA via poorly understood processes. Here, we summarize our knowledge of mitochondrial RNA, discuss recent progress in understanding the molecular mechanisms and functional impact of RNA import into mitochondria, and identify rising challenges and opportunities in this rapidly evolving field.
As a primary site for energy generation, calcium signaling, and apoptotic factors, mitochondria are essential multifunctional organelles in eukaryotic cells. Derived from endosymbiotic bacterial ancestors, eukaryotic mitochondria have their own genome and are equipped with fully functional gene expression machineries (1, 2). To maintain their biogenesis and function, however, mitochondria require a large number of proteins that are encoded by the nuclear genome, translated in the cytosol, and subsequently imported into mitochondria. Accordingly, there has been a strong effort to elucidate the mechanisms of protein import into mitochondria (3–5).
Since the first discovery of cytosolic transfer RNAs (tRNAs) in mitochondria 50 years ago (6), evidence has accumulated supporting the notion that many types of RNA transcribed from nuclear DNA are actively delivered to mitochondria. Imported RNAs include different types of noncoding (nc)RNAs, such as tRNAs,
The mammalian mitochondrial genome (~12,500 bp) encodes 13 proteins, 22 tRNAs, and two ribosomal RNAs,
Recently, two different laboratories reported whole-transcriptome analyses of purified human mitochondria and mitoplasts (23, 24). The studies identified numerous small RNAs and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) transcribed from the mitochondrial genome. Among them, the lncRNAs
Unlike the
Very recently, a novel mitochondrial DNA-encoded lncRNA,
Although mitochondria synthesize dozens of RNAs from their own mitochondrial DNA, some nuclear DNA-encoded RNAs can be mobilized into mitochondria. As mentioned above, the import mechanism of cytoplasmic proteins into mitochondria has been studied in detail, but the mechanisms that import nuclear DNA-encoded RNAs into mitochondria are far less clear (32). Only a few noncoding transcripts are selectively transported into the mitochondrial matrix (17, 24). In this section, we discuss the current knowledge of the major mitochondria-localized ncRNAs: tRNA,
The presence of nuclear DNA-encoded tRNAs in mitochondria was first suggested decades ago from a survey of the protozoan
Mitochondrial tRNA import occurs in higher organisms including human, even though mitochondrial DNA already encodes a full set of tRNAs required for the mitochondrial translation (52, 54, 55). The protein factors responsible for targeting the yeast tRNA tRK1 to mitochondria include the glycolytic enzyme enolase (ENO2P), which binds tRK1 to form a complex that is directed to the mitochondrial surface, whereupon the tRNA is handed over to the precursor of the mitochondrial lysyl-tRNA synthetase (preMSK or pre-LysRS) (56–58). The resulting complex tRNA-pre-LysRS is then internalized into the mitochondrial matrix through the protein import pathway, comprising the translocase of the translocase of the outer (TOM) and inner (TIM) mitochondrial membrane (the TOM/TIM complex) (59, 60). A recent study investigating the conformational change of the labeled tRNALys (tRK1) suggested that tRNA alters its structure upon binding to each carrier protein (ENO2P and pre-LysRS) of the import pathway (61). Both tRK1 and an artificial RNA containing the structural elements required for tRK1 mitochondrial import were targeted into human mitochondria with assistance by the cytosolic precursor of human mitochondrial lysyl-tRNA synthetase (pre-KARS2) and mammalian ENO2 (62). However, it is still unclear how tRNA and pre-LysRS remain bound during translocation through the the TOM and TIM complexes (63, 64), despite indications that the mitochondrial protein import machinery might accommodate proteins conjugated with RNAs (65) (Fig. 1).
Ancestral mitochondria were believed to have a complete set of rRNAs, but most mitochondrial rRNAs, including

RNase P RNA from bacteria, archaea, and eukarya was initially characterized as a catalytic subunit of a ribozyme capable of removing the 5′ leader sequence from tRNA precursors in the absence of protein subunits (83–85). An endoribonuclease protein complex that cleaves the
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNA molecules (~22 nucleotides long) that generally target and suppress mRNA stability and/or translation (89, 90). They are transcribed as primary (pri-)microRNAs, which are processed in the nucleus by the DROSHA/DGCR8 complex into precursor (pre-)microRNAs that are exported to the cytoplasm and further processed by DICER1 into mature microRNAs. MicroRNAs associated with the RBP AGO2 (argonaute 2), a component of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), are directed to target mRNAs with which they share partial sequence complementarity (91–94). MicroRNAs can potentially interact with a wide range of target mRNAs and thus have emerged as potent posttranscriptional regulators involved in several cellular processes, including survival, death, division, differentiation, and senescence (95–101). In turn, they impact upon physiologic processes and diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, aging, inflammation, and diabetes (101–103). The recent discovery of microRNAs in mitochondria has expanded the spectrum of possible posttranscriptional functions of microRNAs and has led to a search for mechanisms of microRNA translocation to mitochondria. In this section, we review some of these microRNAs and their impact on mitochondrial functions.
Generally, microRNAs function as the sequence specificity-conferring component of the RISC, which suppresses the stability and/or translation of target mRNAs in the cytosol. The RISC includes multiple RBPs such as AGO, TRBP1, TRBP2, and GW182. Accumulating evidence indicates that microRNAs and AGO2 exist in mitochondria (14, 15, 104), although the mechanisms through which microRNAs are imported into mitochondria as well as their functional impact are largely unknown. Pre-microRNAs have also been detected in mitochondria, suggesting that some aspects of microRNA biogenesis may occur in mitochondria (105–107). Moreover, the discovery of AGO2-bound microRNAs in mitochondria suggests that AGO2 may be important for the import of microRNAs into mitochondria possibly via co-import (108); interestingly, there is no evidence that other AGO proteins (e.g., AGO1 and AGO3) are imported to mitochondria (109). Crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (CLIP)-based analyses have further shown that AGO2 is associated with mitochondrial DNA-encoded transcripts (104). At present, the full mechanisms that govern these translocation events are not known.
The vast majority of microRNAs found in mitochondria, collectively known as mitomiRs (110), are encoded by nuclear DNA, although a few microRNAs (specifically, miR-1974, miR-1977, and miR-1978) are encoded by mitochondrial DNA (14). Although the functions of most mitomiRs are unknown, they have been suggested to play roles in cell survival, cell division, and energy metabolism, as well as in disease processes like cancer (111). Among the few mitomiRs that have been studied functionally, the nuclear DNA-encoded miR-181c was found to translocate into mitochondria and to regulate mitochondrial gene expression. In rodents, overexpression of miR-181c, which targeted and downregulated
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) identified several microRNAs imported into mitochondria in 206 ρ° cells, such as miR-181c-5p and miR-146a-5p, which had many potential targets within the mitochondria, including RNAs transcribed from nuclear DNA and from mitochondrial DNA (112, 113). The mitochondria-localized miR-34a was recently found to control the integrity of the blood-brain barrier in cultured cerebrovascular endothelial cells by lowering mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and the levels of adenosine triphosphate and cytochrome c (114). However, miR-34a was also detected in the cytosol and thus its effect on the integrity of the blood-brain barrier might include miR-34a actions on cytosolic mRNAs. In a mouse model of diabetic heart and in HL-1 cells, Jagannathan
Together, these studies provide evidence that a substantial portion of microRNAs are imported into mitochondria and may influence mitochondrial gene expression programs widely. MitomiRs can enhance and reduce the expression of mRNAs originated from mitochondrial and nuclear transcription and in turn affect mitochondrial metabolic activity and cell homeostasis. It will be important to elucidate the mechanisms that govern microRNA localization in mitochondria, including the transport and interaction factors (e.g., RBPs and long noncoding RNAs), the mitochondria localization signals that tag microRNAs to mitochondria (e.g., RNA motifs), and the mitochondrial transport machineries that mediate such transport. In addition, it will be critical to identify the mitochondrial interaction partners (AGO2 and likely other RBPs) that enable the mitochondrial functions of mitomiRs.
We have summarized our knowledge of noncoding RNAs mobilized into and out of mitochondria as well as their function. We discuss specific areas that warrant immediate attention as the field progresses.
Recent advances in high-throughput sequencing technology have revealed vast numbers of lncRNAs expressed in cells (116) and follow-up studies have shown that they regulate gene expression programs transcriptionally, post-transcriptionally, and post-translationally (117–121). Indeed, most lncRNAs transcribed from nuclear DNA form lncRNA-protein complexes (lncRNPs) that are essential for their function in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm.
We reviewed mitochondrial lncRNAs derived from the mitochondrial genome (
The mitochondrial ribosome (mitoribosome) has been identified in organisms from yeast to mammalian cells (125, 126), and was found to be poorly conserved in structure and composition among species. The mitoribosome is associated with the mitochondrial inner membrane, facing the matrix side, which enables it to insert highly hydrophobic nascent polypeptides easily upon translation (22, 127–130). Smirnov
Optimal mitochondrial activity is necessary for cell homeostasis. Accordingly, mitochondrial dysfunction has been linked to chronic neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease (AD), associated with the deposition of toxic Aβ peptide and DNA damage caused by defective base excision repair (132–134), and Parkinson's disease, caused by genetic alterations of PINK1, Parkin, DJ-1, and α-Synuclein (135–138). In addition, increasing evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to cardiovascular disease (139, 140), muscle atrophy (141), insulin resistance (142), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (143), cancer cachexia (144), and neuromuscular disorders (145). Mitochondrial dysfunction associated with damage and mutations of the mitochondrial DNA has been linked to accelerated aging and age-related disease (146, 147).
As previously hypothesized, mitochondria-directed RNA can be used as an endogenous vector that is effectively mobilized into mitochondria, carrying inserted heterologous sequences. Theoretically, it seems possible to introduce a particular RNA sequence which is complementary to the mutated region of mitochondrial DNA, thereby lowering the replication efficiency and clearing the 'bad' mitochondria from cells (148). In fact, interventions devised to eliminate pathogenic mitochondrial DNA, involving the creation of a chimeric RNA bearing a mitochondrial import signal and a sequence proximal to the mitochondrial DNA mutation site, were recently reported (149). These and other strategies are under consideration as we develop molecular and pharmacological methods to intervene in disease processes linked to aberrant mitochondrial function.

Spot Inspection: 'The Megan Mullally Show'
Hey now, if restaurants are subject to spot inspections, shouldn't TV shows be, too? Today, we kick off our new feature by dropping in — unannounced — on The Megan Mullally Show. Girlfriend better have her perishables in the refrigerator!
Ever get a case of the "How'd the morning go by so fast?" blues? Well, folks, a sure-fire cure exists — in the form of The Megan Mullally Show. If that sounds unduly harsh, then clearly you didn't suffer through Megan's interminable song and dance routine with fellow Oklahoma native Kristin Chenoweth, decrying the fact that neither has scored a "famous Oklahomans" banner at the Will Rogers Airport. Clearly, Mullally is aiming for an Ellen-esque brand of joyous wacky, but it just plays out as depressingly forced. Worse still, Mullally's not a skilled interviewer; I'm sure Megan's sister-in-law is a nice gal, but was there any reason to phone her up so she could ask Sweet Potato Queen author Jill Conner Browne if she planned to write a parenting-advice book?
By the time Aaron Carter jumped on the couch to announce the end of his two-minute marriage engagement (now there's some genuine fodder for a Constitutional amendment), even Mullally looked like she was ready for the hour to end. No such luck, though: With another 15 minutes to fill, there was still an audience talent show, featuring a contortionist who makes trumpet-like noises, and a hula-hoop-around-the-neck trick from Mullally. Holy crap. Did I just feel a pang of wistful nostalgia for Tony Danza?

The field of business analysis is changing fast. New technology is rolling out at an exponential rate, creating new pressures and demands on every business organization.
In this environment, it's important for the Business Analyst to understand where the field is going, so that they can prepare for the drastic changes ahead. Some of these changes are already happening right now.
Are you ready? Here are five ways in which business analysis will evolve in the next five years.
1) Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
RPA is the automation of repetitive processes so that they require minimal or no human intervention. One example of RPA might be a chatbot you interact with online such as the ones on tech support sites. The bot is programmed to respond to the most common questions people have, which it may identify through key words.
If this sounds like a toy, think again. DoNotPay is a robotic lawyer created by a 19 year old. It helps people fight parking tickets in several major cities by automating the ticket appeals process. It asks you a series of questions, and then creates an appeal letter based on your responses. You then send the letter to the ticketing authority. As of this writing, DoNotPay has helped citizens overturn over 200,000 parking tickets worth millions of dollars in revenue. It has a 60% appeal success rate. As you can see, the power of RPA quickly scales into enormous value when its efficiency gains apply to a large number of customers.
RPA techniques can apply to any data-driven process that allow software to automatically capture, react and respond to a situation. That response could be be output back to a user, or communication with other systems, or input into a subsequent process.
How business analysis will evolve
The Business Analyst will be essential to RPA in several different ways. First, the BA will identify which business processes are sufficiently data-driven to be, or which otherwise lend themselves as, prime RPA candidates. Second, the BA will help shape RPA by analyzing business processes and creating the business rules that the RPA software will process. Third, the BA will create the requirements necessary to implement RPA and adapt interfacing systems to accommodate it. Fourth, the BA will find ways to measure the value that RPA brings to the organization (whether that is money it saves, additional business it enables, etc.)
2) Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning
RPA has a big limitation: it can't learn. If you answer questions or respond in unexpected ways, RPA will not know what to do next. That's where AI comes in. AI is becoming self-learning thanks to rapid advances in the field of machine learning. It can figure out (or be told) an answer, and then use that answer in the future to solve another problem. It keeps improving. Its self-learning ability increasingly means that AI will completely understand and respond to natural language.
How does the AI self-learn? By being taught how to react when it encounters a problem it doesn't know the answer for. Consider, for example, an AI that answers calls for a company's customer contact center. The company may program the AI to answer the most common questions that come into the Center. When someone asks a question the AI doesn't know, the AI may know how to search an internal knowledge base, the Internet, or Wikipedia. Or the question may get routed to a human agent who then programs the AI with the response. From that point forward, anytime someone asks that question the AI will have a ready answer. The process continues, and the AI keeps improving until it can handle almost any question.
Machine learning is also increasing understanding of context. AI can search surrounding words to understand what you're talking about. If you ask "how do I pay off my car loan?", AI can understand that you're asking about your loan (not about your car or how to write a check), and that you want to know how to get free of it by paying it in full.
Want to see an example of AI in action? Check out how Amelia is being deployed at SEB, one of Sweden's largest banks.
How business analysis will evolve
The Business Analyst will support AI the same way it will support RPA. In addition, the Business Analyst will create the business processes and requirements necessary to enable AI to self-learn and understand context. That might be shoring up the business's knowledge base, or helping to implement sound Knowledge Management processes in the organization. If data is scattered throughout the organization, the BA may identify the right data repositories and interfaces the AI will need. Or the BA might "train" the AI directly.
3) Big Data
Data is everywhere. The number of connected devices is increasing exponentially. Once the Internet of Things (IoT) gets going full-throttle there will be billions of sensors, smart appliances, and other devices connecting to the Internet and generating data.
Business organizations are increasingly drowning in data, but may lack the means to make sense of it all. Yet there is a burning desire to make informed business decisions by using the available data.
Getting a handle on the fire hose of data coming in is a huge task. Consider:
- A business must define the data it wants and the means/interfaces for obtaining it;
- The data has to be of good quality, not junk;
- The data has to be meaningfully structured so that it's useful;
- Large amounts of data must get stored or archived in a way that allows the business to access it when needed;
- You may need to tag some data with metadata so that you can readily find what you're looking for;
- You must ensure data security and privacy; and
- You must have a way of pulling data to create meaningful and insightful analytics that the business can use.
How business analysis will evolve
The Business Analyst will have some role to play in all aspects of collecting, organizing, and presenting data. Some of the tasks listed above will usually be done by technical experts, analysts, and architects. However the BA is still responsible for creating the requirements around all of these functions. She may, for example, define the metadata that is important for the business to use when searching for data. Or she may provide requirements that define how long the IT department must store data and the security standards the organization must apply. If an application requires specific data to function, the BA will be at the forefront providing the necessary requirements.
But probably the most visible and important task the Business Analyst will have is helping the business make sense of available data. That means the BA will learn to use tools (such as Tableau) to pull data and create meaningful, insightful, analysis that the organization can use to make good business decisions. The BA may also help define relevant metrics to use for measuring business performance. Using analytics, the BA can show the business how well it has done in the past, and predict future trends based on current performance.
The BA will be essential in creating a fully data-driven organization.
4) Leaner, faster, agile
Technology is increasing our ability to do things at an exponentially faster rate. Time to market is getting shorter and shorter. Companies that can adapt themselves to the increasing demand for quickness and agility will survive and thrive. Those that don't, won't.
The increasing pace is having profound impacts on every business organization. The old, plodding ways of doing everything–including software engineering–isn't going to cut it anymore. It's no longer acceptable to wait for months or years for a solution to a business problem.
The answer is for businesses to focus like a laser on creating value rather than on supporting bulky processes and "busy work." Agile development is one way of doing that. Agile creates value with every iteration, resulting in an actual product the business can use and continually improve in a quick period of time. Another way of doing that is to eliminate redundant processes and systems, and automate the ones that remain to the greatest extent possible.
How business analysis will evolve
The days of huge requirements documents and extensive use cases are numbered. Organizations just don't have time to create documentation that nobody is going to read and that do not provide immediate and obvious value. While requirements will always matter, they will appear in more nimble ways such as user stories and epics.
The field of business analysis is debating how to fit into a more Agile world right now. My view is that Business Analysts will add tremendous value in a faster, leaner business world. They might create agile epics and user stories, or advocate for the business as a Product Owner. Or they could work on a development team to help them understands the need of the business. Whatever they do, they will serve as a bridge that gets the business and IT talking in a way that creates immediate value.
5) Hybrid Business Analysis
Business analysis is already blending with other disciplines, including the ones mentioned in this article. Given the compression of time and resources that technology is creating, it was inevitable that the discipline of business analysis would begin to merge with related fields.
For example, I see signs of business analysis blending with enterprise architecture (EA). EA is a discipline that strives to describe the enterprise and understand its interconnected relationships, traditionally from a techno-centric perspective.
EA has traditionally been an IT-centered function. But in recent years, the practice of EA has grown to attempt describing the relationships of the entire enterprise, not just the technology part of it. That includes business functions and processes, strategy, performance measurement, organizational structure, and other functions traditionally seen as being from the "business" side of the house. The "blueprints" that the Enterprise Architect creates today are more likely to marry business process and strategy with technical functions, to show how they work together. Conversely, business analysis will adopt more EA standards and principles in its work. The savviest BA's will know how to interface well with the Architect and provide exactly what is needed from the business.
Another place I see blending is when it comes to moving to cloud. Business analysis is evolving whole new skill sets to address the challenges of moving on-premise data and applications to cloud-hosted environments. From ensuring proper security to securing Service Level Agreements with cloud vendors, BA's are helping business organization successfully navigate new waters.
The same is true elsewhere. Business Analysts are increasingly picking up skills in user interface design, data analysis, project management, and even software programming. When speed to market makes time scarce, the successful BA will be a hybrid that can do more than one thing.
How business analysis will evolve
The blending of disciplines is itself the evolution, and it's already happening. Today, many BA's are adding skills to their tool kits and becoming hybrid Business Analysts. This allows them to function in more than one domain as the need arises. It also allows them to bring fresh new perspectives on their analysis work. But most importantly, it helps get the product or service to market faster.
How do you think that business analysis will evolve in the next five years? Leave your thoughts in the comments!

I had no idea I was already there on the recording front. Though there is still a lot of work ahead, I just wanted to keep the blog somewhat updated. I had planned to do another video, but I may need to put it on hold till I finish up with the next album (sorry Micah). Hopefully I'll have the podcast ready by the 1-year anniversary of the release date of "My Father in Heaven". Thanks for all the prayers and support!
Quick update on the next podcast and album

Salamanca is a Dublin stalwart and although I've been a few times, it's at least three or four years since I last ate there. This time my sister wanted to organise a family dinner to celebrate her graduation so we made a reservation for the nine of us. The Suffolk Street location is very central, which must definitely have helped the business weather the post-recession fallout, and, like us, I'd imagine a lot of people end up dining there because tapas is inherently amenable to large groups.
Some of our party were late by around twenty minutes, which I know can be infuriating from a restaurant's perspective, but it took a further fifteen minutes once everyone had arrived for someone to take our order. It might not seem like much of an issue but Salamanca operates a booking policy where you only have the table for two hours. It's not something I like, having to eat against a stopwatch, and it strikes me that in all the times I've eaten out in other countries I've never encountered this phenomenon. Have I just been very lucky or is this mainly a Dublin thing? Incidentally, we saw a few walk-ins (Spanish tourists, as it happens) being informed of the restriction before promptly becoming walk-outs.
Anyway, at least I had time to study the menu closely and it's a fairly standard, if at times confused, affair: there are Asian style dishes and even a Tex-Mex stuffed pepper with sour cream in amongst your usual Spanish tapas. I nearly order a bizarre combination of pork belly, beef jus, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar and pure [sic] chick peas out of sheer morbid curiosity. Even stranger sounding are the tiger prawns coated in 'nachos flour' (whatever that is) with pickled jalapeños and a sweet and sour sauce. In fact, there's lots of tiger prawns featured in the seafood section, indicative of a chef unconcerned with provenance given he or she is willing to use a product responsible for destroying the wild populations and coastal areas of South-East Asia. Is it any wonder Ireland exports most of its world class shellfish when home-grown restaurants rely on these cheap imports?
Unsurprisingly, the food arrives quickly enough after we've made our choices and it's quite uneven in quality. There's some fantastic long braised octopus finished on the grill, a rich and smoky chickpea stew, excellent meatballs, robust and beefy but cut through with enough pork so they're not like eating pellets and good chorizo cooked with red wine, although any tapas bar getting something so simple wrong is in big trouble. A couple of small steaks come out slightly overdone but are fine nonetheless; a paella just tastes like chicken and rice, when it should be so much more than that: my bet would be a weak stock (or maybe even something as fundamental as the sofrito) and I'd be surprised if it's seen even a thread of saffron. There's also a paltry portion of near rubbery calamari but worse is the grilled cod with mussels: the fish so overcooked it's inedible, I leave it virtually uneaten and inform the waitress of the problem as the table is being cleared. She apologises (even though it's not her fault) but unfortunately it's not deducted from the bill.
Desserts are pretty much universally good although I don't understand why they're serving fresh strawberries in the middle of October when they taste of nothing at this time of year. There's crepes filled with them on my sisters' plate but the ice cream and butterscotch more than make up for it. I have a crema catalana, which is very well executed, and my dad gets some profiteroles smothered in chocolate sauce.
By now, it's ten to eight, my parents are almost finished their coffee and we realise we're close to turfing out time when out of nowhere the maitre d' appears unrequested with the bill to hurry us up. I find this incredibly rude but I don't want to cause a scene and ruin a special family occasion. It's a bad way to end the meal and I'm tempted to walk out immediately without leaving a tip but our waitresses have been so good it's not fair to punish them for something out of their control.
A few days later I wrote an email to the restaurant to express my disappointment at our experience and received a prompt and conciliatory reply. I'm told it's their usual practice to bring the bill unannounced if the diners' allotted time is nearly up and there was no intention to make us feel uncomfortable. While I still think a quiet word with the person who made the reservation would be a far more preferable approach we'll just have to agree to disagree. Also, the unsatisfactory cod and mussels were supposed to be complimentary (in fact, any food not eaten, for whatever reason, goes free of charge) so that was just a genuine mistake. I was generously offered a sixty euro voucher by way of apology, which I declined as I felt it wasn't right to make a profit of over fifty euro on something priced €8.95. I appreciated the sentiment though and I hope I've done my best here to be as fair in this review as possible.
However, I can't help thinking Salamanca has become a bit complacent, the room was packed when we were leaving so I guess there's little incentive or appetite for change. But a lot has happened over the past few years and with the likes of The Port House, Bar Pintxo, Tapas De Lola and even Viva Espana, the standard of tapas in Dublin is immeasurably better than before. Those that don't adapt may eventually be left behind.

Saturnalia, atheists take the blame (again), and will the world end tomorrow?
Contrary to what Christian leaders have been claiming for a long time, the "real meaning of Christmas" isn't their nativity story. A midwinter festival has been celebrated in the Northern Hemisphere for thousands of years (it's pre-Christian in origin). The Romans had a festival called Saturnalia, which the BBC website details – Did the Romans invent Christmas? The answer is, no, they didn't; the early church high-jacked the Roman festival of Saturnalia, when it became clear that no one was going to stop having a good time at around this time of year.
Originally a one-day feast at the end of autumn, Saturnalia gradually moved to later and later dates, with longer celebrations, throughout the Roman period.
By the time of Christian conversion it was running into and incorporating a number of festivals. These included the Opalia – the festival day for Saturn's consort Ops – on the 19 December and the Sigillaria- the day of present-giving – on the 23 December. The 25 December was dies natalis solis invicti – the birthday of the 'invincible' Roman sun-god Sol.
Cancelling Saturnalia was unthinkable, so Christian Rome converted it to a Christian holy day instead.
American atheists have a lot of invective aimed at them by ignorant Christian fundamentalists. One extreme example, this week, was in response to the school massacre in Connecticut; a Tennessee Baptist pastor told his congregation that the number of mass shooting were escalating because of schools were government "mind-control centers" that taught "junk about evolution" and "how to be a homo," and that "humanism" in schools taught Lanza (the shooter) that he was God and "he can just go blow away anybody he wants." He wasn't alone in blaming atheists and atheism for the massacre. Former US Presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee said that the shooting was a result of having "systematically removed God from our schools" (ignoring the fact that America is constitutionally secular).
David Niose, President of the Washington-based American Humanist Association, writes,
It's great that many Americans, even those who are religious, find the statements of Huckabee and company objectionable, but it's unfortunate that the objections focus on the wrong issue. Rather than argue about whether God is jealous and vindictive or loving and compassionate (or at least in addition to that argument), Americans should be calling out fundamentalists for depicting nonbelievers as agents of evil.

If you really don't want to make money on the markets . . .
How many of the seven great money-losing tips apply to you?
A bad day at the New York Stock Exchange last week. photograph: lucas jackson/reuters
Investors looking for decent returns are always being told what they should and should not do. But what about the forgotten rebels out there who want to lose money, or at the very least hurt their returns? For those neglected souls, we've compiled a list of some great money-losing tips.
Don't diversify
Home or local bias is the tendency to overweight one's portfolio with familiar domestic stocks. It's been declining in recent decades, but remains high.
A 2008 study found Japanese stocks made up 73 per cent of Japanese investors' portfolios, even though the country accounted for just 9 per cent of global market value.
US investors had 77 per cent of their portfolios in US companies, even though they accounted for 33 per cent of global stock market capitalisation.
Brazilians had nearly 99 per cent of their portfolios in domestic stocks, even though Brazil accounted for just 1.6 per cent of global market value.
The risks are obvious. In 2005, Mercer's Gráinne Alexander warned that the Irish market represented just 0.3 per cent of the world index, "yet 'balanced' managed funds manage to allocate 25 per cent of total equity to this minnow market".
The financial sector accounted for 44 per cent of the Irish index, she added, meaning Irish pension funds had over 8 per cent of their total assets in just four bank stocks – the same exposure funds were allocating to the entire UK market.
Although many international indices are now at all-time highs, the Iseq remains some 56 per cent off its peak, while bank investments have been almost entirely wiped out. Accordingly, masochistic investors should be extremely grateful to Irish pension managers, who did a terrific job at decimating the value of their portfolios.
Buy growth,
not value
Investors eager to lose money should steer clear of safe but unsexy value stocks and opt for glamorous growth stocks, preferably by paying crazy prices at a stock's initial public offering (IPO).
Make sure to steer clear of actual data and evidence – otherwise you might discover that value stocks trounced growth stocks over the last century. Instead, rely on anecdotes and isolated examples of the occasional success story – the type that says you would have made 10 zillion quid by investing in Microsoft or Apple 25 years ago, irrespective of the fact that, for every such case, there are hundreds of growth stocks that went the way of the dodo.
Similarly, note that studies show the most respected companies, as measured by Fortune magazine's annual list of America's most admired companies, underperform the most despised companies. Or rather, don't note it.
On a related point, studies have found no correlation between GDP growth and stock market returns – instead, the best returns tend to accrue to cheap and unloved markets. Ignore these studies, and invest in "hot" economies.
Overtrading is an excellent way of damaging one's returns. One famous 1990s study that examined more than 66,000 discount brokerage accounts concluded that "those who trade the most are hurt the most" – the most frequent traders earned 11.4 per cent annually, compared to 17.9 per cent for the overall market.
A separate paper by the same authors found men trade 45 per cent more than women and consequently earn poorer returns.
Author and Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Zweig suggests such investors have a "lockbox" and a "sandbox". The lockbox "has something like 90 per cent of your money in index funds and nothing else. The sandbox, where you have maybe 5 per cent or 10 per cent of your money, is where, if you really want to, you can play a little. There's nothing terribly wrong with getting entertainment out of investing, as long as you understand that that's what you're doing, and as long as you don't do it with all of your money."
An alternative is just to be patient, as advocated by legendary investor Jim Rogers. "I just wait until there is money lying in the corner, and all I have to do is go over there and pick it up. I do nothing in the meantime. Even people who lose money in the market say, 'I just lost my money, now I have to do something to make it back.' No, you don't. You should sit there until you find something."
Sound advice like this should not, of course, be heeded.
Ignore fees
Ignoring the impact of fees is a great way of throwing away money. A €10,000 investment that yields 10 per cent per year will be worth €452,592 after 40 years.
Annual fees of 0.2 per cent per year would bring that down to €420,817, while 0.5 per cent annually would reduce it to €377,193. If you're paying, say, 2 per cent per year in fees, however, your return dwindles all the way down to €217,245, meaning fees have erased more than half of your potential nest egg.
A fund's fees are the best predictor of its future performance. Past returns, in contrast, tell you nothing about future performance, but that is what investors tend to focus on.
Fall in love with your stock
Becoming emotionally involved with one's stocks is a sure-fire money loser.
The endowment effect, as identified by behavioural economists, means we tend to overvalue things we own. For example, behavioural studies show we typically demand more money to sell something we own – say, a coffee mug – than we ourselves would be willing to pay to buy it.
The endowment effect, coupled with the desire to be right, means online forums are full of people decrying the stock market's pessimistic valuation of their precious company. Throw in a little loss aversion – "I'll sell when I break even" – and you've got a perfect recipe for ensuring that you have an unrealistic valuation of your holdings.
Feel the fear
A US survey earlier this year of people with at least $100,000 in investable assets found 62 per cent were afraid of investing in the stock market (just 58 per cent feared death).
Not investing in the stock market is financially damaging, as is allowing fear to govern your investments. Loss aversion, says psychologist and Nobel economics winner Daniel Kahneman, is a "costly curse". His studies show that the pain of a euro lost is roughly twice as great as the joy of a euro gained.
Investors can save "time and agony" by cutting back on the frequency with which they check their investments, he writes in his 2011 bestseller, Thinking, Fast and Slow. "Closely following daily fluctuations is a losing proposition, because the pain of the frequent small losses exceeds the pleasure of the equally frequent small gains. Once a quarter is enough, and may be more than enough".
Read bad books
One final tip. Kahneman's book is an eye-opener, while investors can also learn much from other behavioural finance experts like GMO's James Montier. Seven Sins of Fund Management, a revealing, amusing and accessible 100-page PDF written by Montier, is available as a free download.
This article, of course, is all about losing money. Accordingly, ignore the behavioural writers, and opt for books like Dow 36,000: The New Strategy for Profiting from the Coming Rise in the Stock Market (published in 1999) or 2001's Dow, 30,000 by 2008 – Why It's Different This Time.

TD's Top Prospects- #24 Batter
Posted by Lionel on March 4, 2009.
Doug Deeds
Rank: #24 Batter (TD)
Age: 27
Position(s): RF
Team(s): Tennessee
'08 Key Composite Stats: .325 BA, .904 OPS, 73 runs, 37 doubles, 12 HR's, 8/9 stolen bases
Acquired: Traded from the Minnesota Twins for Craig Monroe
Breakdown: It's hard to call a 27 year old a prospect, but his numbers were too impressive to leave off the list. It was a bit of a head-scratcher when he was the Cubs return in the Craig Monroe trade, not that Monroe warranted a big-time prospect, but rather that the Cubs were getting a then 26 year old minor leaguer. Deeds .325 batting average was fifth best in the organization and fourth in the Southern League. The Southern League All Star had 214 total bases and averaged better than half a base per AB. His 89% success rate in stealing bags was third best in the organization among players who stole more than 5. For those who love sabermetrics, Deeds had a 84.94 runs created rating, third best in the organization (for more on runs created, click here (and yes, it's Wikipedia, but it's the formulas that are important). While age played the biggest role in Deeds ranking being so low, Deeds ranking was demoted slightly by his 100 strike outs, which was roughly 24% of his AB's.
