Progress reports
Annual progress reports
The Annual Progress Report (APR) is an important mechanism for Higher Degree by Research (HDR) candidates to express their views on all aspects of their higher degree candidature during the past year, and the progress of their research project to date.
The Annual Progress Report is used by the University and its Schools to monitor and evaluate the progress of each research candidate.
Who should complete the report?
All Research by Higher Degree candidates who are currently enrolled are required to complete the Annual Progress Report.
Candidates who have recently returned from 'leave from studies', or are about to return from 'leave from studies', must complete this annual report. Candidate's who are on leave from studies at the reporting time and will not return until the following calendar year, will complete the APR in the year of their return from leave.
Candidates who are currently in the examination process (have submitted their thesis) are not required to complete the APR.
Participation in the APR process and completion of the report annually is a mandatory requirement for all HDR candidates, as stated above. It is a pre-requisite for re-enrolment each year and the renewal of stipend and fee-waiver scholarships (where applicable).
How do candidates complete the report?
The Annual Progress Report is completed as an on-line Lime-survey. At the appropriate time annually, Research Services will forward an email to each candidate's student email address with information on the process, a link to access the on-line survey and and the due date for submission.
What happens to the Annual Progress Report once submitted by the candidate?
All information provided by the candidate in the on-line survey, excluding any information included in the Confidential Report section, will be collated and sent to the relevant supervisory team and the Associate Dean Research (ADR) to review and comment upon.
What happens to the confidential report component, if submitted by a candidate?
If a candidate has submitted a confidential report detailing concerns regarding their candidature, this document is kept private. It is administered by the Research Services Higher Degree by Research administration team and provided to the Dean of the School.
What happens to candidates who do not complete the report?
Candidates who fail to submit their Annual Progress Report by the due date will receive a reminder email via the student's university email address. If the candidate fails to respond to the subsequent email, Research Services will contact the relevant School about this situation. Depending on the circumstances, it is likely the candidate's progress will be deemed 'Unsatisfactory' due to the non-adherence to this mandatory requirement of candidature, and an intervention strategy be put in place for the candidate, whereby the candidate will be asked to ' Show Cause ' as to why their candidature should not be terminated.
Interim progress report
The Interim progress Report (IPR) is a compliance requirement for all International HDR candidates and for any candidates identified as 'at risk' of not meeting milestones of candidature in a timely manner, not making sufficient progress in their research or 'at risk' of not submitting their thesis for examination within the timeline of their research program, without some additional form of support or extension to candidature.
This may occur as a result of issues identified in the Annual Report, Confirmation of Candidature process or by their supervisor, Head of School or ADR, when progress is deemed to be of concern, and some intervention is deemed appropriate.
The Interim reporting period is in the early months of the calendar year, at the midpoint between the August annual cycles.
Candidates required to complete the Interim report will be contacted by the Graduate Research School via email, with full details of what is required. Candidates have four weeks to submit the Interim Progress Report.
Completed surveys are forwarded to the Supervisors for comment. However candidates are also provided with an opportunity to give confidential feedback directly to the Dean and the Graduate Research School if required.
Supervisors can also recommend that candidates previously identified as 'at risk' have this status revoked. The ADR approves Interim reports, and can also recommend that candidate 'Show cause'.
Ad-hoc progress report
At any time during candidature, a Supervisor, ADR or Dean may request a progress report or research plan.
The candidate must comply with any reasonable request for a progress report or research plan and return it to the supervisor team within 10 business days.
Supervisors provide feedback to the candidate on their plan.They may request that the candidate 'Show Cause' if the plan is insufficient to advance the candidates research in a timely completion.
If you have any queries about the Annual Progress Report, or the Show Cause process, contact the Higher Degree by Research Administration Team by email: firstname.lastname@example.com or Tel: +61 3 5327 9508

The converted church of the Union Chapel in Highbury is a super setting for a theatre work which is essentially a parable. With its glowering Victorian brickwork and polygonally arranged raked seating all but in the round, the drama of the space is natural. Into this space Highbury Opera Theatre have committed their first major undertaking, a production of Jonathan Dove's opera Tobias And The Angel, a piece specifically organised to incorporate local amateurs as well as the professionals needed for its principal roles and orchestral score. Highbury Opera Theatre under their director Scott Stroman have a clear committment to community involvement with substantial numbers of non-professional performers on stage, in the gallery, and several dozen children in the pews beside the pit. No doubt a substantial proportion of the audience were out in support of friends and family ahead of coming to see the piece itself, but no audience is the poorer for the premise, as long as the performance is honest and strong.
Honest and strong. This was certainly the temperament of the show. In the best sense this was an artless evening where storytelling and communication were paramount. Principally here was the modest but clear voice of Tobias himself, Nicholas Allen, a charming Tom Rakewell-like figure in reverse. His guiding Angel, Michael Harper was one of a number of triumphant stage presences of the evening, a compsed trope of lore who knows how to stand on stage with great authority and calm, and showing a functioning tenor to support his lower countertenor voice.
The eponymous duo are supported by a fairly extensive cast. Tobias' parents were Denver Martin Smith and Kathy Taylor Jones, essaying woe in a tone not of shrieking neurosis but of rocking, troubled water. At the other extreme Julian Alexander Smith's frustrated but loving father Raguel and Cathatrine Rogers as his wife Edna are at the mercy of more present drama - possible murder, suicide, and all its attendant paranoia. Punchy singing reaching to the back of the space, especially when Rogers' high soprano spoke across the ensemble, marked high points in the vocal writing and execution for me.
Tobias' journey takes him to Raguel and Edna's daughter - his cousin - who is apparently cursed with the inability preserve the life of any of her previous husbands. Siobhan Gibson's Sara was arguably the most affecting of the evening's protagonists and it was just a pity that a throat infection had seized the baritone Robert Gildon, who preys on her mind from the spectral periphery. If his voice (sung in from the wings as he walked the role) were in fit shape then, on the basis of his acting alone, the drama would have really thrown us about.
However, just as this piece is not a simple vehicle for a conventional opera company, so the drama is not exclusive to the score. There is a great deal of choreography, from an early wild party t and execution o a samller ensemble acting out the hazards of Tobias and the Angel's journey (I love this sort of crisp, economical staging). A well-drilled corps de ballet danced themselves into credibility as a river with a crucial solo (sequin-scaled!) fish. Above all I loved the little band of 'Raguel's Men', grave diggers chuckling their way through burying yet another of the boss' sons-in-law - a show stopping quartet, not least as their's is difficult music negotiated with a keen eye for Stroman's beat and much back slapping. Couldn't get enough of it. The children's chorus did their bit too with significant support from Sarah Wilkinson's embedded direction, all of them putting energy into the light of Dove's familiar augmented modal writing.
Louise Radinger's staging made great use of the space and available lighting - nothing overdone, a nice coup at the end for the pulpit in the centre of the stage - and the band were beyond reproach... and game, with a trio getting up on stage to become the Shofar dance band. There was a special feeling in the hall, with everyone looking past the imperfections and muddled conventions of an evening's theatre to get at the heart of the piece and to take something from performance and performers alike. One hopes that such a positive project continues to draw such support from either side of the footlights.

Privacy Officer Responsibilities
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 made a privacy officer's job imperative for corporations. Under the HIPAA guidelines, every company that practices or manages health care must designate a privacy officer who oversees the development; implementation and monitoring of privacy policies and ensures they are in accordance with federal and state guidelines. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average annual income in 2011 for compliance officers -- which includes privacy officers -- was $63,760.
Upon hire, a privacy officer must first identify and evaluate the company's current privacy policy. The privacy officer evaluates the privacy policy in light of state and federal regulations and HIPAA guidelines. He will work directly with legal counsel to ensure the company's privacy and confidentiality consents, authorization forms and informational notifications reflect current practices and legal requirements.
Establish and Implement New Policies
Privacy officers develop organization-wide privacy policies, procedures and guidelines. These documents include a Notice of Privacy Practices, HIPAA authorization forms, disclosure of protected health information policies, request for access to protected health information and administrative requirements. Privacy officers collaborate with medical records, legal, accounting and IT departments to ensure that information is protected. Employees are trained by privacy officers on all new practices.
Privacy officers oversee and monitor the success of the privacy policies and procedures in each department. When necessary, they may revise the program to comply with any changes in the regulations, law, professional ethics and other accreditation requirements. They also submit and monitor complaints regarding the organization's privacy policies and any violations commited by employees.
Internal Audits and Investigations
Periodic privacy risk assessments and security checks are part of a privacy officer's job. They ensure that the organization has 100 percent privacy compliance at all times. Occasionally, a privacy officer may conduct in-house audits regarding file transfers, faxes and even e-mails to ensure that all electronic information is documented and protected and that privacy policies are followed.

Rwanda : Customer satisfaction levels still low – RGB
While many companies, both private and public have embraced and seek to champion the improved customer care slogan, research suggests that customers remain unimpressed.
A study conducted by the Rwanda Governance Board (RGB) has put customer satisfaction levels countrywide at 66%, a far cry from the 80% the government aspires to attain in five year's time.
This sobering statistic was revealed by RGB officials during a one-day consultative meet in the Northern Province yesterday, aimed at publicizing the findings of various studies conducted in the customer care field.
Rwandans at large were urged not to accept sub-par treatment while seeking services, since it is their right to receive and even demand efficient services, and to report cases of mistreatment or any other form of bad customer care.
Dr Usengumukiza Felicien, Deputy CEO in charge of Research and Monitoring at RGB, stressed that favorable customer care is a right to all, and those not receiving it should even refuse to continue being served in this way.
He however said that refusal to accept bad customer service must be accompanied with the ability to discern when one is being mishandled in the first place. Educating the public on this issue, he said, is therefore paramount.
Northern Province governor Bosenibamwe Aimé, on his part pointed out that good customer care services should start first and foremost with the leaders of the people, who should serve as examples to the rest of the populace.
Results of other studies conducted regarding similar fields such as corruption and were also revealed and analyzed.

Starting only at 18 years of age, pop-R&B singer Jamelia swept U.K. R&B fans off their feet, and following her second album, Thank You, she made herself a star, winning over many more fans, as well as some critics, across the rest of the European continent. The numerous chart-topping singles and musical nominations and awards rivaled the stardom and exposure of her American contemporaries, allowing many to dub her Britains own Beyonc. Perhaps other than her close friends and family, not many would have guessed that a young teen who liked to make a fool of herself singing karaoke could become a popular recording artist. Jamelia, born Jamelia Naila Davis on January 11, 1981, in Birmingham, England, obtained her first karaoke machine at 12. A few years later, Jamelias cousin sent in one of those recordings to representatives of Parlophone Records, and after the A&Rs heard her sing a cappella, they signed her at 15 years of age. Parlophone (a subsidiary for EMI) patiently prepared her until she was 18 to release her first single, "So High." Although the song fell on deaf ears, it did set the stage for her next four hit singles from her debut album, Drama, in 2000. Each of them fell somewhere on the charts with "Money," featuring reggae artist Beenie Man, placing in the UKs Top Five. Earning five MOBO nominations (and winning one for Best Video), it was clear that Jamelia had the potential to develop into an R&B star. Nevertheless, Jamelia had to withdraw from the spotlight for two years on account of her pregnancy and tending to her baby daughter. In 2003, the single "Bout," featuring U.S. rapper Rah Digga, barely signaled the return of a five-time, MOBO-nominated artist, entering at the bottom of UKs Top 40, but the next single, "Superstar," turned into an international smash hit. It reached number three on the U.K. pop charts, was number one in Australia and New Zealand, and gave the singer more legions of fans across Europe. With the arrival of her platinum-selling second album, Thank You, a few weeks later that September, Jamelias success was just getting started.
Spilling into 2004, the albums title track, an autobiographical song about domestic abuse, debuted at two on the U.K. pop charts and won a MOBO award for Best Single. In March 2004, due to the widespread popularity of Thank Yous singles, Parlophone reissued an altered version of the album where some tracks were rearranged and new songs added, including the Top Five single "See It in a Boys Eyes," which was co-written by labelmate and Coldplay leader Chris Martin. In tandem with the reissue and Chris Martin single, she embarked on her first tour as the headliner that summer in the U.K., cementing her stellar run in 2004. The new found fame propelled her increasingly into the British public eye. She involved herself in charities, obtained promotional endorsements, and was invited by British model Naomi Campbell to become a client of her modeling agency. Thus, when she had her second child the following year, there was not the same respite from the spotlight leading up to her third album, Walk with Me, which came out in September 2006. Using samples from rock groups like the Stranglers and Depeche Mode, her music drifted away from her R&B fan base and turned more toward pop/rock.

The main electrolytes found in the body are magnesium, calcium, potassium, phosphate, chloride and sodium. Each electrolyte has nutrients that help stimulate nerves and balance fluid levels, and so an electrolyte imbalance can be very dangerous.
What do electrolytes do?
- Potassium keeps blood pressure stable, regulates the heartbeat, and helps muscle function.
- Calcium helps muscle contractions, nerve signals, cell division, blood clotting and strengthens bones and teeth.
- Magnesium is needed for muscle strength, nerve function, bone building, digestion, a stable protein-fluid balance and heart rhythms.
- Sodium maintains fluid balance, strengthens muscles and aids nerve signaling.
- Chloride maintains fluid balance.
Where do electrolytes come from?
Electrolytes come from all our foods which are why it is so important to have a balanced and healthy diet. They come from water and fluids too.
Electrolytes are lost from the body through exercise and sweating, as well as urinating.
It is, therefore, important to constantly hydrate and eat well.
How Electrolytes Work
Electrolytes literally have an electric charge. When they dissolve in water they separate into positive and negative ions. Nerves signal to one another, using a process of chemical exchanges. These exchanges need both positive and negative ions. An imbalance will, therefore, hinder nerve signals and messages and result in messages not being carried around the body.
What causes an Electrolyte Imbalance?
- Dehydration
- Medication
- Antibiotics
- Illness
- Kidney disease
- Chemotherapy
- Poor diet
- Digestive or intestinal problems
Symptoms can include diarrhea, sweating or high fevers and vomiting.
How to recognize if you have an electrolyte imbalance.
Electrolytes play many important roles within the body. An imbalance will leave you feeling bad pretty quickly. Symptoms can vary as you could be missing different electrolytes. Some of the symptoms are:
- Muscle spasms.
- Muscle weakness, twitches, and aches.
- Headaches
- Heart palpitations
- Fever
- Insomnia
- High or low blood pressure.
- Stomach cramps
- Joint pain
- Exhaustion
- Dizziness
- Numbness and joint pain
- Loss of appetite
How can you diagnose an electrolyte balance?
You can ask your doctor to test your electrolyte levels. You will be asked to give a urine sample and give blood. Your health care practitioner will take a medical history and ask you about your symptoms.
If you are really suffering, you may have an EKG test to look at your heart and an ultrasound or x rays to look at your kidneys.
Your doctor will be able to see from your blood tests if you have high or low electrolytes by testing your magnesium, potassium and sodium levels. These are easy to spot. Levels are measured per liter of blood and an imbalance is diagnosed if your levels are either higher or lower than the normal ranges.
- Sodium: 136-145 mEq/L
- Calcium: 5–5.5 mEq/L
- Chloride: 97–107 mEq/L
- Potassium: 5–5.3 mEq/L
- Magnesium: 1.5-2.5 mEq/L
When should you visit a doctor?
If you suspect an electrolyte imbalance you should consult a doctor or healthcare practitioner immediately. You do not want to have ongoing problems and it is best to nip any health issues in the bud.
Muscle spasms
If your legs are cramping or spasming, you may have low magnesium or potassium. This is painful. It can come after exercise, or very often at night. Muscle spasms are a clear indication of imbalanced electrolytes.
Irregular heartbeat
If your potassium is very high, you may get hyperkalemia. This is when your nerves stop sending the right signals from nerve to muscle. Your muscles become weak. The high potassium will impact your heartbeat, causing racing. This, in turn, will make you feel anxious. And if your calcium levels are too high, pressure is put on the cardiovascular system, changing the electrical pathways to the heart.
Digestive problems
The muscles in your digestive system can also be affected. They may not contract if your electrolytes are imbalanced and bowel movements become an issue. Constipation and cramping are a common symptom, you may get hemorrhoids or piles ad you could get diarrhea and nausea too.
High calcium can actually result in bone fractures. It can also result in kidney stones which cause aches in the back.
Imbalances can also cause headaches, disorientation and respiratory problems, similar to dehydration. Stay well hydrated to keep your electrolytes balanced and eat well.
If your sodium levels are low you may experience constant nausea. This is also called hyponatremia.
Anxiety and insomnia
If you are having leg spasms, a racing heartbeat and/or night sweats your nights are going to be disrupted. You may be constantly fatigued but these things are going to keep you up at night.
High sodium levels can cause hypernatremia and you will become dizzy and week. You may become delirious too.
How to treat an Electrolyte Imbalance
Change your diet
This is the most important thing to do. Leave out processed foods as they are usually high in sodium. Replace them with natural products and eat organic where you can. A minor electrolyte balance can be changed by simply eating less junk food and making sure you have all the right nutrients and minerals by eating fruit, vegetables, lean meat and in general fresh food.
Try not to eat take away. Include plenty of leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables. Broccoli and cabbage are good, as are sweet potatoes, bananas, avocados and squash. Bananas are an excellent source of potassium and can change the electrolyte levels in your body.
You need to keep your body hydrated at all times. Drink 8 glasses of water a day if you can. Coconut water is good. Celery, cucumber, kiwi fruit, watermelon, all citrus, carrots and Greek yogurt are very good too.
It is also important to try and keep your water intake consistent. Get to 8 glasses a day and then stick to that. If you are exercising a lot, drink more. If you are in a hot climate, drink more. See what your body needs and keep refreshing. You should be urinating at least every 3 to 4 hours, so if you are not, drink more. And if you are urinating too often you could be drinking too much but you could also have other problems and so check with your doctor.
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should drink extra.
Increase your calcium
You can do this with calcium tablets but if you follow a healthy diet with leafy greens, veggies, and particularly legumes, you should get enough natural calcium. Eat raw dairy products, probiotic yogurt, raw milk and cultured raw cheeses too.
Go easy on the salt
Salt draws water, it's that simple. Control your salt intake by knowing exactly what you are eating. When you eat raw organic foods, there is no salt. When you eat processed foods or take away, there is far too much salt. The higher your diet in sodium, the more water is excreted by the kidneys, the more imbalanced your electrolytes become.
Take a look at your medicines
The most dangerous medicine or treatment that can impact your electrolytes is chemotherapy. Oncologists will always keep a good eye on you as the symptoms can be dire if not managed properly. Cancer patients need to be monitored constantly for electrolyte imbalances, even once the chemo is finished. High calcium levels can stay in the blood after treatment.
Antibiotics can also make an impact, as can blood pressure medication, hormone pills and especially laxatives and diuretics. Laxatives and diuretics can change your electrolytes quickly, so keep hydrated and nourished throughout any illnesses or viruses.
If you have been placed on a new medication, always ask about the side effects and act accordingly.
Hormonal imbalances result in other imbalances too, so keep your hormones balanced. Remember, if you are feeling odd it may well be from an electrolyte imbalance so get your hormones checked out. Talk to your doctor if necessary about treatments.
Always recharge and refuel after exercise
If you look at sportsmen and women they constantly rehydrate. They drink sports drinks and enhanced waters because they have electrolytes in them. It is very important to do this, we cannot stress it in enough. During exercise, your body loses sodium and you sweat. You need to drink extra water to make up for the water lost in sweat. Also, eat a balanced meal afterward and try and include some fruit.
It may be that you have tried everything natural, a good diet and plenty of fluid, but you still have electrolyte issues. Taking magnesium powders or capsules is not a bad idea and will definitely help with muscle cramps, body aches, insomnia and even anxiety. Potassium can be found in a good multivitamin. It is important to take a good supplement though, you do not want to put extra junk into your body.

Naturally all is not well and before long you stumble across scenes of terrible carnage and evidence that extra terrestrial life forms are a part of the problem (there is also a manmade conspiracy too!). Now it is up to you and your fellow US Army special operations troops to make sense of this mess and restore order to the chaotic area.
The Thing is a suspenseful game to play for a number of reasons. For a start you and your squad mates are all susceptible to infestation and once infested could attack each other. So you don't always know if the chaps who are supposed to be supporting you in the field are friend or foe.
The knowledge that anyone could become infested, combined with the stressful nature of the mission, also has an impact on your squad mates and you must keep them calm by ensuring that any wounds they have are healed and that they can protect themselves. Often giving your squad mates a gun will calm then down. However this can backfire if they then become infested by the parasite and turn on you, which makes for some entertaining and paradoxical moments.
Evidence of this is sometimes pretty obvious as your fellow troopers will sometimes suffer from uncontrollable fits of vomiting -- something which looks pretty funny the first time you see it.
Being in an isolated area where the temperature is as cold as forty degrees below zero means you cannot operate safely for long periods outside and this adds to the tension. Stay outside for too long and you will succumb to the elements. However being inside has its own obvious attendant dangers so the game keeps you on the edge of your seat as you try and survive in very hostile conditions.
So The Thing can be quite vexing to play as you will be often without ammunition and unable to escape shambling mounds of mutant flesh which is clawing at you, leaping at your throat or spitting this gross acid stuff which looks a lot like microwaved snot (don't ask us how we know this by the way!).
There are tape recorders which you can use to save your progress, but these aren't always in convenient locations, so sometimes you will palpably feel the desperation of having a few rounds of ammunition left as you are nearly overrun. Luckily you can find a fair bit of ammunition about the place, but again this isn't always in the most convenient location so you have to make sure you are judicious and not too trigger-happy.
As you have probably guessed there is a fair bit of gunplay in this game. That said sometimes your conventional guns aren't powerful enough to kill some of the bigger alien abominations you come across. In some instances you'll need to use your guns to bring down the shambling mounds of alien flesh and then, once they have been immobilised, you will have to burn them with a flamethrower to finish them off.
Mastering the quick switch to flamethrower and then becoming good at avoiding the spot fires you start is a really vital skill and sometimes it is hard not too seriously burn yourself. The fairly fixed weapon aiming system helps contribute to the problems you occasionally suffer in this regard and while the game does let you indulge in three weapon accuracy settings these seem to apply to everything except the flamethrowers, which are sometimes hard to use with anything less than a haphazard spray. Being unable to aim up or down also makes this hard, especially when you have smaller creatures attacking you from below your field of vision as they rip into your feet.
So the aiming interface isn't perfect, but it still manages to not get in the way of the ballistic bliss most of the time.
The Thing is for the most part an immersive and enjoyable game. The visuals and sound are top notch and the sense of desperation you feel when you are stuck outside and about to succumb to the elements or being hunted by packs of the foul creatures is very real. The squad based elements and the way you keep your men from losing their minds also adds to the depth of the play experience.
|What did you think of The Thing?
The Thing has come out of nowhere and mutated into something that many of us will love. Resident Evil and Half Life have a new half brother.

about A Call Centre
Easy English Conversations Index
This is a typical Easy English Conversations about A Call Centre.
Journalist and The Public Relation Officer
: Good morning Sir. Could I have some information? What does the term call centre mean?
: Call centre is a multi-faceted work-place where various functions occur like customer service centres, information lines, reservation centres, help desks, etc. It is a sophisticated voice operations environment that provides a full range of high-volume, call handling services (inbound and outbound) including directory assistance, multilingual customer support, credit card services, operator services) interactive voice response and web-based services.
: What size of accommodations is preferred by the call centres?
: Call centres prefer large accommodation depending on their work load and customer base.
: How large or small is the call centre's work force and personnel costs?
: The size of the work force depends on the functions of the centre. If it is a centralised call centre that handles various functions and their work force is large. Then the personnel costs are the most significant.
: Could you tell us about the technology they use?
: The call centre's technologies include Automatic Call Distribution (ACD), Interactive Voice Response (VR), Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) which allows the actions of the computer to be synchronised with what is happening on the phone. They employ Customer Relationship Management (CRM) technologies and other database systems too.
: What types of calls do the call centres handle?
: Types of calls are often divided into outbound and inbound. Outbound calls are those which the agent initiates to a customer with the aim of selling a product or a service to that customer. Inbound calls are initiated by the customer to obtain information, report a malfunction or ask for help.
: How are the staff organised?
: The staff of the call centre are organised in tiers. The First tier consists of unskilled workers who are trained to resolve issues using a simple script. If the First tier is unable to do so, then issue is transferred to a more skilled second tier. In some cases, there may be a third tier of support too.
: Do the call centres get criticised and if so, for what?
: Yes. They do. Some critics say that the work atmosphere in such an environment is below human standard. Some criticise about the low rates of pay and the other constrains put on the staff by the employers. For example, there is the restriction of time that a staff can spend in the toilet. Apart from that, the cal1ers complain about the skill level of the staff and their inability in solving the problem for which the customer calls.
: Could you tell us about why there is a trend to move call centres to India?
: One reason is the large number of English speaking workers available who can be employed cheap. Also, Indian technology is good and infrastructure is cheap.
: What does the future hold for call centre employment in India?
: According to the survey conducted by the Employment Cell of India, call centres are going to be the largest job providers in India. The Rs. 81,000 crore industry including other IT-enabled services is expected to generate 20, 00,000 jobs in the near future. The future looks good for the call centre industry because India has a large number of graduates and undergraduates with good command over English. Indian technology is good and infrastructure is available cheap and also effectively trained manpower which is the backbone of a call centre.
: How is an Indian call centre executive's work rated?
: Indian call centre executives take 8 to 10 minutes in processing their call, whereas call centre executives in the U.K. and the U.S. take 12 to 15 minutes to perform the same task. This saves time and increases efficiency levels. Indians have neutral accent and easily understandable English Accent compared to people in China and other countries.
: Thank you very much for giving us your valuable time and information.
: You're most welcome. Let me also thank you for taking your time to gather information on call centres. Hope to see the write up in your publication.
: You're we1come. We will send you a copy of our journal in which the article gets published. Good day sir.
: Good day!

Top Principals Say No to More U.S. Aid
Fifty principals whose public high schools have been cited for excellence agree that more federal money will not solve most educational problems, according to a recent survey by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative public-policy group.
In addition, 47 of the 65 principals who responded to the survey said they supported the concept of merit pay for teachers, and 53 said they were in favor of amending teacher-certification requirements to give greater emphasis to academic courses in teachers' subject fields.
The respondents to the survey were among the 152 principals whose public schools received honors in the U.S. Education Department's secondary-school recognition program last fall.
The survey also found that 39 of the principals surveyed agreed that federal program regulations were excessive.--tm

Two words I have grown to hate, pulmonary hypertension because it took my favorite grandmother from me too soon. She was only 65 years old, and my favorite person in the whole world. My mother had died when I was very young, so my grandmother raised me, loved me and provided a fantastic home. She was there for everything in my life; my marriage, the birth of my two children and when I graduated from nursing school.
Knowing the reality doesn't help
Being a nurse, I knew the prognosis of pulmonary hypertension. I knew the symptoms, life expectancy and the deterioration that can happen quickly. Just because I knew all of that didn't make it any easier when my precious grandmother began to decline in health. It started small, she couldn't go on walks with me anymore, and couldn't run around with my kids when they went over to visit. Then it progressed to where she could not leave her house anymore and had to wear oxygen regularly. It was heartbreaking to watch, and even more emotionally damaging when I had to help her shower and do simple tasks around her house.
Moved in to help my Grandmother
After many conversations with my husband, we decided that I would move in with her to help take care of her. Her biggest fear was living in a nursing home, and I had promised her years ago that I would never do that to her. Luckily, my husband and I only lived one block away from my grandmother, so it was easy to see my children and husband still frequently. When I moved in, we both knew she didn't have much time left. I helped clean her house, cook her simple meals when she requested them and took care of her every need.
The decline was emotionally jarring
My grandmother reached a point where she could no longer get out of bed. She slept over 16 hours a day and even just speaking exhausted her. She lost her appetite and began to lose weight quickly. I had only been living there for a month when this started to happen. I was not sleeping, and I was near breaking point every day. Our friends and family came over to provide help and give me breaks to be with my family. I was terrified to leave her side because I wanted to be there for every moment as much as it broke my heart.
The end finally came, and so did the relief
Two weeks later, my grandmother passed away peacefully in her sleep with me by her side. I was holding her hand when she took her last breath. She looked so serene and peaceful, and for that I was grateful. I was a mess when she died and cried for weeks. She had been my mother in every way for my whole life. Losing her was like missing a part of myself. On the other hand, I was relieved because pulmonary hypertension had taken its toll on her heart, lungs, and body. I'm glad she's not suffering anymore, grateful for it even.
Now I work hard to ensure other people who are diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension, as well as their families are well educated on what to expect and what they can do to manage it.

Eating Together
For many, being able to commune around a table–talking, laughing and eating–is a sign of health and well-being. That's why, when someone is sick, and doesn't eat, conflict can result. Caregivers may feel enormous anxiety, guilt and hopelessness as their loved one loses weight.
Yet, caregivers need to know what is really happening. Cancer patient, Ann Silberman, in her blog, "Breast Cancer? But Doctor…I hate pink!" explains, "This problem of being unable to eat is not a matter of will-power, nor is it in our [the patient's] control."
What is going on?
There is a distinct metabolic disorder, called cachexia, that occurs in people with heart failure (between 16–42%), kidney disease (up to 60%), advanced cancer (as many as 80%), among many other conditions. It is defined as "the loss of 5% or more of body weight over 12 months with reduced muscle strength"…but it is much, much more. Researchers have been discovering changes in the immune system that may be causing this condition. They are looking for ways to treat it.
The Immune System
The immune system is made up of many different types of cells. When there is trauma to the body, pro-inflammatory cytokines are produced by T-cells and macrophages. In healthy people, anti-inflammatory cytokines are also produced, balancing and shutting down the immune system activation once the trauma has been addressed.
For people with cancer or other conditions, the balance is not maintained. In the case of cancer, cancer cells take over the immune system to produce cytokines that promote tumor growth, tumor survival and tumor spread. Pro-inflammatory cytokines like tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), interleukin-6 and -1 (IL-6/IL-1) and interferon gamma are produced and chronic inflammation occurs. This chronic inflammation is a key force in the development and progression of cachexia and affects the brain, liver, fat and skeletal muscle.
The most abundant tissue in the body is skeletal muscle. Loss of muscle mass and muscle strength is a key characteristic of cachexia.
Muscle that is healthy regenerates after injury and is able to remodel–(a visible example of remodeling is what happens to muscles in people who lift weights). Besides the brain, skeletal muscle takes up and uses much of the glucose in the blood.
There has been research on what happens to muscles in cachexia and the involvement of pro-inflammatory cytokines. For example, muscle proteins break down at a faster rate than before. Replacement proteins are not produced at the same rate. This interferes with muscle regeneration and building of muscles. Another change involves genes. Genes involved in programmed cell death are activated and destroy healthy muscle cells. Third, the mitochondria of the muscles, which are the organelles in the cell involved with energy production, are impacted and do not produce energy effectively. A downward spiral of muscle loss and muscle strength occurs.
And it's not only skeletal muscles that change. Cardiac muscle, as well as muscles of organs like the stomach, experience these changes.
Another metabolic shift involves adipose or fat cells. For people with cachexia, white fat cells are replaced by brown fat cells. You may have read the popular press touting the benefits of brown fat as in this example from Women's Health,
"The purpose of brown fat is to burn calories in order to generate heat. That's why brown fat is often referred to as the "good" fat, since it helps us burn, not store, calories…….Bottom line: You want as much of this type of fat as possible. Bring on the brown!"
Babies and hibernating animals have a lot of brown fat. Brown fat has iron containing mitochondria, multiple fat droplets per cell and more capillaries than white fat. Brown fat has higher oxygen consumption and burns more energy.
Unfortunately, in people with cancer or other chronic conditions, white fat being replaced by brown fat is not a positive sign…this change has been identified as a first step on the road to cachexia. People with cachexia have more fatty acids and glycerols in their blood stream. As yet, the reasons for this change have not been determined although the fact that cancer cells use a different energy pathway than normal cells may be part of the explanation.
The liver is involved in producing glucose, amino acids, fatty acids and other important building blocks of healthy tissues. As a person's cachexia progresses, their liver mass increases. Although researchers are convinced that this alteration in size is important, they have not been able to pinpoint the role of the liver in cachexia's development.
The hypothalamus is a part of the brain involved in food consumption and digestion. One of its duties is stimulating the vagus nerve (which activates and controls the stomach). It is also involved in energy expenditure.
Pro-inflammatory cytokines may impact the hypothalamus, making it less responsive to hormone stimuli causing cachexia's symptom of reduced or limited appetite. The hypothalamus is also involved in taste. Pro-inflammatory cytokines cause the hypothalamus to increase the sensation of bitterness from the taste buds contributing to people not wanting to eat.
Sickness Behavior
"Sickness behavior" is physical and behavioral change that occurs in people when they have an infection. Caused by the actions of pro-inflammatory cytokines on brain cells, the behaviors include tiredness and fatigue, appetite loss and difficulty concentrating. Anxiety, increased sensitivity to pain and depression are also caused by these cytokines acting on the brain.
Awareness and Understanding
As you can see, cachexia is a complicated condition. Yet, research and treatments are desperately needed. Some believe that if there were some treatment, physicians and other healthcare providers would discuss the condition with patients and caregivers. Perhaps catching cachexia before a patient wastes away, could give patients more time and more options in care.
From A Cancer Patient
Ann Silberman has been experiencing cachexia. She writes
"you must understand that while they call it is a "loss of appetite," it is much bigger than that. You may be able to eat when you aren't hungry – we [patients with cachexia] can't….It is a symptom, a complication of our disease, same as a runny nose caused by a cold. Pleading with us to eat is like begging somebody with a cold to stop their nose from running."
Her plea to caregivers,
"I want you [caregivers] to understand that it isn't their [the patient's]fault. And it isn't YOUR [caregiver's] fault. You can't make somebody eat, and here is what you must understand – they can't make themselves eat.
It's distressing for all involved. I know it is hard for you to watch. You want so badly for us to get healthy and survive longer and we know that. Remember, it is hard for us too. We want all that too, and have the added burden of knowing our loved ones don't understand, and think we aren't trying hard enough."

If you are wondering why we are so excited about planning a conference the answer is because we know how refreshing a whole day listening and thinking about how to better support women and families can be. Here's a taste of the enthusiasm we have felt at the conferences that have come before this one from Vikki's blog:
This weekend something A.Mazing happened. I attended a Home Birth Conference and met some truly inspirational women. Sheena Byrom, Hannah Doe and Clara Haken were all speaking about so many important aspects of the care we give to women in pregnancy and the influences that surround us. There was for me, a very special speaker. Someone I have admired for over 20 years, Ina May Gaskin.
I bought her books in 1995 and she has without doubt been the single, greatest influence on my birthy path in life. And this weekend i got to wee in the SAME toilet as her. This was not the highlight, don't worry too much for my mental state. I also TOUCHED HER ARM. It's ok, i'm just about getting a grip. I have a picture of myself with her and an equally star struck mate, Elizabeth . We look like total geeks.
I have handed out my copies of Spiritual Midwifery and her Guide to Childbirth to each and every one of my pregnant friends over the years because they are by and away the most positive birth books you can read. They are full of such empowering stories of strong birthing women. Ironically, both my copies are currently loaned out to those in need and so i had to purchase a shiny new book of hers so that i could come away with a signature (Of COURSE it was necessary). I read Spiritual Midwifery and immediately wanted to move to The Farm (a commune in Tennessee) and become a midwife or have 10 babies. I did a bit of both.
The message that resonated out of the Home Birth conference was one of the very real need to share the positivity. Tell the positive stories, say them over and over again. To anyone who'll listen. Saturate the world with them so that women hear all about how birth can be a great and positive experience. Milli Hill has set up The Positive Birth Movement with the sole purpose of doing just this. "Birth works" said Ina May at the conference and that woman knows what she's talking about.

Burning Bananas Leave Diner Covered In Flames
A family was helicoptered to the hospital with severe burns after a tropical dessert ended in tragedy. The waiter poured the 151 proof rum over the plate of bananas Foster, a treat consisting of bananas sauteed in butter and soaked in alcohol and often served over ice cream, and then lit it. The liquid fire then spilled onto several members of the family, leaving one woman's body covered in flames as her dress caught fire.
Two of the men had burns on the knees and refused treatment. An older woman was released after getting treatment for respiratory burns. The woman whose dress became ablaze is still hospitalized, and will be for some time, after receiving first and second-degree burns.
"Obviously, it was a terrible accident," the Palm Harbor area restaurant owner told St. Petersburg Times. "But my main concern is for the well-being of that young lady and everyone who was hurt, and our thoughts and prayers are with everyone who was involved. It was just very unfortunate."
As comforting and heartfelt those words might be, I smell lawsuit.

PONDERING ALOUD (Enterprise&Regulation) Monetary Statements
When oil costs fell, corporations scrambled to adjust by chopping jobs and investment. Then they went to work on a far-reaching rethinking of their businesses. Curiosity. Curiosity is a discretionary expense item solely when the amount of debt an organization carries increases, decreases, or is refinanced. If a company restructures existing financing or pays off a loan, the curiosity expense may be much less. Nevertheless, this can be offset by any extra debt the company incurs resulting from a enterprise growth undertaking (which is primarily interest expense within the early phases of the loan). Curiosity expense should be checked out fastidiously because it's often affected by new financing.
All private monetary software program produces the important abstract experiences—the income assertion, cash flow statement, and stability sheet—that present the outcomes of monetary activity for the period. Most can even report more particular points of actions, resembling itemizing all transactions for a selected income or expense. By means of intensive simulations and experiential workout routines, you'll develop practical expertise and abilities obligatory to reach a collective settlement. The course includes an introduction to the collective bargaining course of, where you'll achieve an awareness of the speculation, fashions, and legal framework.
However the largest challenge to transitioning from a practice to a business is that you're additionally going to need to fully change your mindset. Because you might have began out as a monetary advisor giving recommendation, but going ahead you're no longer making an attempt to do monetary planning… you're making an attempt to build a business that does financial planning. It will mean an infinite set of changes as your enterprise grows and your role changes to reflect the new challenges you face, as well as actual financial sacrifices as you rent employees and try to find economies of scale as the agency grows.
I'm not at all an internet designer, however I do know what works, so here are just a few concepts. We instructed the advisor that our primary precedence, any longer, could be to guard the funds my mother and father had amassed by means of a lifetime of unwavering thrift. No extra speculation – just very conservative, fixed-earnings investments. Simplify the portfolio, and eliminate danger, we told the advisor.
For the primary 12 months of course, retained earnings can be computed without the Beginning RE. In some instances the figure can also be transformed right into a proportion. There isn't a limits with reference to the accounting period for which the formulation may be utilized, it may be applied for weeks, months, days, and many others. On a mean it's applied to a yr. In mammoth sized companies, a retained earnings statement is prepared and analyzed by the management each day.

VILLA are set to follow David Beckham into North American soccer this summer with two matches against Major League Soccer opposition.
They will play Canadian side Toronto FC and Ohio-based Columbus Crew in the final week of July as owner Randy Lerner seeks to put Villa in the shop window across the Atlantic.
His right-hand man, General Charles Krulak, said: "We are in negotiations with Toronto and Columbus Crew. The exact days are not set but we think it will be in the end of July."
Manager Martin O'Neill is keen for his squad to be tested against decent opposition.
However, their participation could be affected by a possible Fair Play entry into the preliminary rounds of the UEFA Cup based on them standing top of the current table as England's entry.
Toronto were only formed last year and are coached by former Rangers, Celtic and Everton striker Mo Johnston, who made the switch from Red Bull New York.
O'Neill said: "There are still still a few things to put together but we should soon have the plans.
"We fly out on July 22 and come back on the 30th. It is a quick week, a couple of games over there. It is pretty well certain, although one or two things still need to be ironed out.
"We are playing two games. We thought about staying and maybe playing a third and I would say there is a really good chance of it happening."
Toronto are the only non-US team to play in MLS and include former Wolves and Sunderland midfielder Carl Robinson.

Our brains don't understand abstract units very well: how much is a thousand pounds? But we can process data in relative terms pretty well: a thousand pounds is about five guys, or a half of a car. Because of this and the recent news about radiation leakage in Japan, xkcd made a very helpful infographic illustrating radiation absorption in relative terms. The SI unit of absorbed radiation is a sievert, abbreviated Sv, and the graphic shows how much radiation is absorbed under various circumstances, in terms of that unit. Some highlights:
- Eating a banana gives you more radiation than living within 50 miles of a nuclear power plant for a year
- Using those ancient not-flat monitors for a year is equivalent to 10 bananas, or living within 50 miles of a coal power plant for 3 years, or a nuclear one for 11 years.
- A flight from NY to LA is 4x the normal daily radiation a person is exposed to, also equivalent eating 400 bananas (about a truckload), or getting 8 dental x-rays.
- 11 days of radiation nearby the Fukushima nuclear power plant that got damaged by the Japan earthquake, is about the same as the flight from NY to LA.
- The natural potassium in our body over a year is like 10 of the NY-LA flights, or 3 months near the Fukushima power plant.
- Smoking a pack of cigarettes is like spending two weeks at the Fukushima Town Hall after the accident.
- Living in a stone, brick or concrete house gives you more than twice the radiation legally released by a nuclear power plant.
- The daily radiation at Fukushima is a little more than that from a mammogram
- The lowest radiation level in one year that's clearly linked to increase in cancer is equivalent to:
- 4 weeks at Fukushima
- about 18 chest CT scans,
- 33 mammograms, or
- Smoking 913 packs of cigarettes in a year (~18 packs a week)
- eating one million bananas. That last one would be over 2700 bananas per day.
Updated May 22, 2011 to include info about cigarette radioactivity.

ENDLESS FIRE: Shoot-um-up History
I know there's a bunch of shmup fans out there. If you fit into this group, you should take a look at Endless Fire, a finely-crafted article reguarding the history of the shoot-em-up genre. It covers a great collection of games and tracks them through the begining of video game history through the newest games of today.
The article also includes many screenshots in order to both show you the genre's graphical progression, but all provide you with some eye candy. It will also give you a great look into one of classic gaming, most classic genres and may give you inspiration to look for some games you haven't tried yet. (Just Google ones that interest you!)

Return to: College of Science
The Doctor of Philosophy degree in Geology requires original research in a specific area of geology, demonstration of broad knowledge in the field of geology, and demonstration of depth of knowledge in at least two areas of geology. The successful candidate must demonstrate a breadth of understanding in geology, as well as a depth of understanding in his or her chosen area(s) of emphasis. Potential students must show an ability to do creative research. This research should be carried out during a significant period of time (i.e., during at least one year or three semesters in residence). Thus, each successful PhD candidate will produce a significant piece of original research, presented in a written dissertation and defended in an oral examination. This work should be of such scope and quality that more than one journal or conference article can be derived from it.
There are two program tracks for this degree: academic and professional. The academic track is designed to prepare graduates for a career in academia or other teaching-related settings. It includes a classroom teaching experience under the supervision of a faculty teaching mentor. The professional track is designed to prepare graduates for work in professional careers with the petroleum industry, with other extractive industries, or in environmental and hydrologic consulting. Completion of a professional internship is encouraged.
Students completing a PhD in Geology must fulfill the following requirements:

Built by defense contractor Rockwell Collins over the past five years, the new F-35 Gen III Helmet Mounted Display System takes the cockpit's heads-up display (HUD) and moves it inside the helmet. Projected inside the visor, this HUD creates an immersive environment that's filled with information critical to the flight, as well as the jet's available weaponry. The HUD is designed so the pilot can always see the most useful information such as airspeed, weaponry status, and altitude while performing a bevy of other in-flight tasks. Integrated eye tracking also allows the pilots to make selections and even aim missiles using only their eyes.
Rockwell Collins' helmet provides more than just useful data as it also integrates itself into several key aircraft systems. Perhaps the most jaw-dropping of these extra features is the helmet's inclusion of an exterior visual system which literally allows the pilot to look through the aircraft. The helmet can accept input from six cameras outside the jet, providing a 360-degree view of the environment around the plane. The system also detects a pilot's head movement and sends the appropriate video feed to the HUD. For instance, when a pilot decides to look down, the HUD won't display the interior of the cockpit. Instead, it pulls a video feed from the undercarriage of the jet and displays the world beneath the plane. The system also has support for night vision which allows the pilot to see in the dark without fumbling with a pair of goggles.
The carbon fiber helmet weighs roughly five pounds and will be custom fit to each pilot during a two-day fitting process. During this process, each pilot undergoes measurements of optical parameters such as eye spacing, pupil alignment, and more. Each helmet is then carefully crafted to ensure it works properly with the pilot's unique anatomy and is comfortable to wear, even for those who wear glasses. Though originally designed exclusively for the F-35, the new Gen III Helmet may make its way to other industries and applications, such as firefighting, where a helmet-projected HUD could provide life-saving information.

On the trail of the dead trees starts as a sound project on December 7th: just about dawn, I was taking a walk in the woods at Pian dei Corsi, when I saw the flat trunk of the umpteenth cut down tree, dripping with resin.
I could precisely remember the healthy, tall beech, standing on that clearing. Why had it suddenly been cut down and maybe dragged to some corner of the woods and piled into a heap together with hundreds of others? However I tried to convince myself there should have a been some good reason to do so, a hole was dug in me where that beech had stood. I suddenly moved and stood in the place of it and put my feet where its roots still grab the moss and the wet soil. For some ten minutes, I closed my eyes and little by little made myself a still, silent tree and felt I could get to know what the beech had heard for years and reconnect that finest thread cut in the Universe.
I then decided to start collecting a set of recordings, of which this is the very first one, mapping the trunks of the cut down trees to retrace the memory of the woods.
No image, nor video will be displayed on this screen, for dark is the heart of a cut down tree.
