I am trying out new Capabilities of the Wolfram Alpha engine. Well, it is not that complicated as Mathematica, but still very useful, especially the new Widgets feature.
Let's learn by example. I need to have some easily accessible tool to recalculate lattice parameters from hexagonal to rhombohedral setting. How do I do that?
Well, first of all, I go to developer.wolframalpha.com and register myself as a 'developer'. Next, I watch the tutorial demonstrating the process of creating widgets. Five minutes later I start to shape my own.
The principle is very simple. You create a formula, assign variables, shape your widget, make some style adjustments and .. it is ready!
If we take a closer look.. the formula behind the widget is simple. I take A and C lattice parameters for the hexagonal cell and recalculate them:
{ArcCos[(15*a^2-c^2)/(2*c^2+6*a^2)]/pi*180, Sqrt[(c^2+3*a^2)/9]} where a=[//number:${A}//], c=[//number:${C}//]
As a result I obtain two values: one of them is the rhombohedral angle (Degrees), the other is the rhombohedral lattice parameter. The only trick was to make WolframAlpha engine to reuse the variables c,a or to set the simultaneously. We set all of them by where a=[//number:${A}//], c=[//number:${C}//].
Is that simple? I believe it is!
Now, let us answer the question - why we need it. My reasons are simple. I need something online, so I do not have to crawl all over my folders trying to find the solution. It also saves me some amount of disk space and backup efforts, which are more annoying than lack of space.
WolframAlpha will never displace Mathematica, but this tool is indeed worth to use. The widget which performs a reverse transformation (rhombohedral to hexagonal) can be found here or below.
Good day to you!

Fifteen teens spent a rainy and cold Saturday discussing peer pressure, social media and other topics at the first ever teen workshop hosted by the Women of Distinction — Crystals, a local social and service organization.
Fifteen teens spent a rainy and cold Saturday discussing peer pressure, social media, personal goals, physical fitness, health and other topics at the first ever teen workshop hosted by the Women of Distinction — Crystals, a Gainesville social and service organization.
The workshop was held last Saturday at the Boys & Girls Club Mentor Center in the Lincoln Estates neighborhood.
Established in 2009, Women of Distinction consists of 14 women who volunteer and provide services to the community, including care packages for families staying at the Ronald McDonald House, coat drives for families who are struggling, Thanksgiving baskets, and other services.
Teresa Baker, founder and president, said the purpose of the workshop was to provide teens with a platform to discuss their concerns. The topics explored were setting goals, health and exercise, social media and faith.
"We want to stay connected and let them (teens) know we're here for them," said Baker. "The goal is that they will learn from us and we will learn from them."
During the workshop, the teens rotated through three interactive stations led by members of the Women of Distinction, who were facilitators.
The stations included an exercise segment by Baker, a peer chat by Charlesa James and her husband, Kevin James, and teen goals by Terrie Ellerbe, vice president of the group.
Shana Smith, a member of Women of Distinction, told the teens to take advantage of the opportunity to discuss their concerns. "What happens here, stays here," Smith said. "If you're struggling, come to us and we will try to help you."
Ellerbe led an interactive goal-setting activity, where the teens were encouraged to browse through a stack of magazines and cut out words that reflected their personality and their goals. The teens then drew silhouettes — called goal-setting boards — and pasted words on them they had selected from the magazines, including peace, express, education, work, fearless, happy, brilliant, optimistic, potential, fun, perfect and healthy.
During the peer chat segment, the teens discussed choices and their consequences. "Take what you get here today," said Kevin James. "You will remember what they said and it will make a difference."
Charlesa James reminded the teens that information and photos posted in social media sites like Facebook are there for everyone to see. "You have to be careful how you interact with people," said Charlesa James. "It can come back to haunt you."
Kevin James told the teens to choose their friends carefully. "To be successful, surround yourself with people with the same goals," he said. "Perception is reality."
The workshop received high marks.
Christian Wallace, a senior at St. Francis Catholic High School, said he liked the workshop.
"I think it's nice because it gives us kids a positive view of life, instead of negativity."
Monnette Faison, who came from Tampa to bring her teen daughter and nephew to the workshop, said, "This is wonderful and well worth the two-hour drive from Tampa."
"I talk to my daughter about goals, but I think it's good for her to hear it from someone else," Faison said.

Update(s):Update2.2 - Massive Magnetism isn't very stable. the game may not use these codes nor the magnetism value to do the calc even. you should just ignore this script. - added Instant Function Cooldown. - added Custom MEM Size.Update2.1 - added player check to Massive Magnetism, it won't add Magnetism to enemies anymore. - added Ignore Enemies' Invulnerability.Update2 finally back to the game, it's been a while since my old PC "start dying" when I was cheating this game.... - rewrote the whole table for GOG (v188.8.131.52?) x64 version, check the descriptions below for the "new" options. - can't "fully" utilize CE's mono feature for this game (CE don't recognize MonoGame.Framework.Windows.dll) (or it's actually the engine.dll?), so the scripts are using AOB scans to locate the injection points. as a result, you may have to wait a few seconds for the scripts to enable after you tick the box, and some of them can't be activated until you do the corresponding action in-game. see the description below for details.Update1 - changed the default value for min Health from 1 to 50, as I found that you may loss some "skills" (forgot the in-game terms for skills) if using 1 as min Health. - added Inf. Turn and Instant Cooldown. ///Option:Undead - health still drop but Red won't die. - works on the final boss too. so remember to temp deactivate it when you want to deliver the killing blow. - can be activated after you attacked once (any function will do, as it just need the HUD to be shown once actually).Reduced Stamina Usage - stamina usage for all functions in a turn are greatly reduced. - works on the final boss as well. remember to temp turn it off when it's the final boss' turn, or the boss won't proceed past the planning to the actual attack. - can be activated after using stamina in turn once.Ignore Enemies' Invulnerability - as title says. - you will be able to destroy some entities that you're not supposed to in the vanilla game. e.g., "Assess Point", the bike, some entrance, etc. but don't worry, you can still access them when you go near them. - can be activated after you attacked once (any function will do).Instant Function Cooldown - as title says. - can be activated after you attacked once (any function will do, as it just need the HUD to be shown once actually).Instant Turn Recovery - no need to wait for the stamina to regenerate to full in-between turns. - can be activated after executing a turn once.Custom MEM Size - when activated, set the MEM size to 50. - you can change the MEM size via the table. - after changing the MEM size, you need to re-access the "Assess Point" to save the changes. - yes, the changes will be saved when you access an "Assess Point", that means you don't need to worry the game would just un-install the functions the next time you load the game IF you actually don't have enough MEM to install those functions with your original MEM size. - can be activated after you access an "Assess Point" once.Massive Magnetism - the "enemy remains" can be absorbed from anywhere on the map after you killed one. - not stable, should leave this script alone. ///Notes: - the scripts use aob scan instead of LaunchMonoDataCollector() to locate the injection point, it may take a second or two (duration depends on your system) to activate a script. - remember you may need to do some corresponding action in-game first before you can activate a script. - the scripts are made for x64 only.

The AG interview continued:
In the second part of the interview with Michael Atkinson, he was asked why he had "scoffed" at Today Tonight's calls for an inquiry into the systematic abuse of wards of the State. (The eventual outcome was the Mullighan Enquiry). Again his response was personal abuse and untruths, in order to deflect criticism from his own conduct. The footage speaks for itself.

Nez was walking out of the Invalides métro station, on her way to get her lunchtime Starbucks fix in between sessions, when she reached for her phone and started a texting bout with Riot, who was just then tapping away at the keyboard at his newly found writing spot, the Bibliothèque Mazarine.
Nez: "oh no, il y a bea[u]coup de touristes now."
Riot: "merde! ou est notre ville tranquille?"
Nez: "nous devons sortir now"
Riot: "jamais. ils devent [doivent] sortie [sortir]."
Nez: "oui. tous [tout] le temps tu es vrai [as raison]."
Riot: "non, de temps en temps seulement. toi aussi."
It is true that the French use "now" instead of the longer "maintenant" but our own command of their language surely needs some work. In all, the message is clear: Paris is always changing and sometimes in ways that we dread.

Kevin Williams isn't prone to making comparisons, especially when they involve his son. But the father of Mount St. Joseph guard Kam Williams perked up during a conversation one year ago with Ohio State assistant men's basketball coach Dave Dickerson.
Dickerson, a former Maryland player and Terps assistant from 1996-2005, "checked out [Kam Williams] and told me he reminded him of a young Juan Dixon," Kevin Williams said. "But with more athleticism. And better handles. And he said he saw the same passion and fire when Juan played in Kam, which is a pretty lofty comparison."
Dickerson's assessment didn't end there. When Kam Williams took his official visit to Ohio State over the weekend, Dixon's play with the Terps was a regular topic of discussion.
"He was constantly harping on it when I was down there," said Williams, who grew up following Maryland. "He was telling me stories about Juan Dixon at Calvert Hall, how he would score in a variety of ways. I've always heard the comparisons about me and him."

10 Reasons Why You Should Never Go For PostGraduate Studies
This is counter to a previous post on 10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD GO FOR POSTGRADUATE STUDIES.
It is very saddening to see some people still considering going for a postgraduate study as a merit at this present unsteady economy situation. Apart from those in professional fields like law, I can't see what you stand to gain in wasting two years in a postgraduate school. So as to make my points interesting, I hereby make ten undisputed reasons you should NEVER go for a post graduate study.
1. Your age might exceed the working age.
One of the reasons why you should not consider going for a post graduate degree is age. Here in Nigeria, the maximum age for joining the military is 27 years. Not only that, most employers do see age as one of the optimum for giving out jobs. Since we can't compare the strength of a man of 25 years to that of 40 years, it is glaring that those of younger ages are more considered during job requirements.
2. The types of available jobs.
I once heard about a young graduate seeking employment for the post of a political analyst in a well known radio station. He had both HND degree in Mass Communication and B.SC in Political Science. So as to increase his chances of employment, he put down the two certificates in his curriculum vitae. To his utmost surprise, his employer told him his qualifications outrank the available jobs but if he wouldn't mind, he could remove the B.sc degree from his qualifications and make use of the HND certificate. Looking well into this scenario, I wonder what a master degree holder would have done.
3. It delays marriage.
It is no longer news when adults advise young men and women on the importance of early marriage. The era whereby a man of 60 years still have two children in secondary school has gone. You going to post graduate school will only delay you from getting married at a young age.
4. It takes a very long time.
Firstly, the minimum number of years anyone can use as an undergraduate in Nigeria is four years. After this is another compulsory one year for service. Adding another two years to this will only worsen the matter. Spending over seven years in the university campus is just a waste of your hay time.
5. There is no longer respect for Degrees.
The days when graduates of university are seen as Lords are gone. Instead, they are rather consider as fools. You going far for master degree is just like the lord of the fools. You might want to know why people look down on these gentlemen, it is because they know there is no awaiting job for them. Majority will need to set up a petty business while some will have no option but to learn apprentice so as to make ends meet. In short, degree education is overrated.
6. It is not always easy.
Above average of undergraduates mostly find it difficult to graduate with a good grade. Majority made good their escape out of the undergraduate school. Imagine how hard this is, you thinking of going for a post graduate studies is just like someone who jump from frying pan to fire.
7. The cost of financing.
For every average Nigerian, sponsoring their children's education to university level forces them to live a miserable life. The song that they will pay it back one day even sour their hearts. It will be very unfortunate if after this long hardship, you still believe these innocent parents can still live more of their lives in agony just because you are after a Master degree.
8. It discourage creativity.
There are some things deposited in you that you can't find in school. People call it talents but I call it virtuous. If you can do yourself the good of putting them into use, they are more than capable of buying you a future. Spending another series of your years in post graduate school will kill these great potentials.
9. Your undergraduate degree is enough to make you a genuine.
Which field are you thinking of establishing on? What is wrong with the knowledge you have obtained doing your undergraduate? Have you made good use of them first? Probably you don't know, what you were taught during your undergraduate days is enough to make you a genius.
10. How you use your young age is important.
Considering that you are still young, this is the time to try, fail, and try again, to explore your options and discover work that you enjoy. Some of that energy would certainly serve you well in the energy-draining atmosphere of graduate school, but is that where you want to spend it? You really are only young once.
Do you really want to start down the graduate school track from which it can be so hard to remove yourself? It is quite advisable for you not to play luck on important things like this. Use your good time for something better.
That's that on : 10 Reasons Why You Should Never Go For PostGraduate Studies

After several posts of talking about matters athletic, I'm far beyond due for letting my nerd show. I have a ridiculous fascination with coin-operated amusements. In the past, I have worked on restoring arcade machines, most notable being Mr. Do! and Asteroids, but I don't have any good space in my home or life for things that size right now. Maybe one day I'll build a MAME machine and be done with it. Like, when I have a garage.
This also extends to pachinko games. I've actually had pachinko around me most of my life. When I was little, back in the days when you could buy a personal computer that had a cassette deck, parents would shut their children up by getting them to play little hand-held games that used motors and little ball-bearings. You'd play something that vaguely resembled "pocket baseball" or "pocket football." I had a miniature pachinko machine long before I knew what pachinko was.
Fast-forward to yesterday. Driving between a very lovely brunch and a planned walk at the Rosicrucian campus, I happened to cruise through a section of Bascom Ave in San Jose which I call "junk row." I don't know how this has happened, but there is basically a strip mall there of junk shops, ranging from the "piles of crap" variety to the shops where they've found great bits of cultural history and restored them for sale. Sitting out on the sidewalk, in what appears to be nearly perfect condition, was a bright pink pachinko machine. I just knew it had to be mine. After a little play-testing, it came home with me.
Can you blame me? I mean, who can say no to something this completely ridiculous? It's bright pink and covered with ridiculous anime characters. I think it's supposed to have a caveman theme, but I can't be perfectly sure about that. It looks fairly modern, though video screens are not all that modern for pachinko and the resolution is a touch low. One of the inspection stickers appears to have a date of August 2011. Everything on the playing field looks very clean and new, so maybe it is fairly new.
Here's a shot of the video screen. P-KAN KINGDOM! The styling on the graphics and the resolution have a very early 1990s feel to them, as if I'm looking at an old Neo Geo game. This makes me want to suspect the machine is older than it seems to be (based on labeling, cleanliness, and lack of wear). It's amazing what an art style or screen resolution will do to cue your thinking to a certain time or place.
Art from the upper left corner of the playing field. There's a decided caveman theme to the whole thing. Lots of Tarzan clothes, mammoths and other animals, and roasted meat on the bone. If you ever played the Bonk's Adventure series of games, you'd recognize it on the spot.
Art from the bottom of the playing field. Again…cutesy pink anime cavemen. You can see the roasted meat on the bone in the lower left of this picture. In the lower right…hell if I know. It looks like someone cut a cactuar in half.
And now…the art in the upper-right. It's an alien in a UFO. Yep. An alien in a UFO. Looking kinda surprised by all the anime caveman pachinko action. So…maybe the theme here is "Chariot of the Gods"? Who knows? It's ridiculous and weird and I love it.
And frankly, with my wife, Amy, being a tikiphile, I'm starting to wonder if the things we nerd-squee over aren't cross-breeding. For some reason, this seems like exactly the sort of thing that goes with a tiki mug and a fez hat. Or, possibly, I'm insane.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel's opposition Labor party said Wednesday it is joining forces with a former government partner in a bid to unseat Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the country's coming elections.
Labor leader Isaac Herzog announced the alliance with Tzipi Livni of the Hatnuah party amid a hard-hitting critique of Netanyahu's free-market, pro-settler policies, which have seen increasing Israeli economic inequality and a breakdown of the peace process with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas.
"Six years of Netanyahu and there are still no answers," Herzog said. "The time for change is now."
Standing side-by-side with Livni under a banner proclaiming "Together We Win," Herzog said that if he and the Hatnuah leader formed the next government, they would rotate as prime minister — Herzog for the first two years, Livini for the second two years.
Opinion polls give the joint Herzog-Livni list about 24 seats in the 120-seat Knesset — slightly more than their current total.
That's two or three more seats than polls give Netanyahu, though he retains the option of joining forces with the nationalist Jewish Home Party. That would give him a bloc of 35-40 seats — probably enough to be asked by Israel's president to try to form the next government.
Former Likud lawmaker Moshe Kahlon remains a potential kingmaker in any coalition-building scenario. Known for his combination of egalitarian economics and a relatively hard line with the Palestinians, he has so far given few indications of which bloc he prefers — Netanyahu's or Herzog's.
The elections are set for March 17.

for Cas9 antibody (mAb) (Clone 7A9-3A3)Background
Cas9 is a nuclease from Streptococcus pyogenes that can be targeted to particular DNA sequences through a guide RNA that results in double-stranded breaks in DNA. Cas9 is part of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing system that can create a DNA break at a specific location with the genome.
CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat) is an adaptive immune system that provides protection against mobile genetic elements (viruses, transposable elements and conjugative plasmids). CRISPR clusters contain spacers, sequences complementary to antecedent mobile elements, and target invading nucleic acids. CRISPR clusters are transcribed and processed into CRISPR RNA (crRNA) Probable. In type II CRISPR systems correct processing of pre-crRNA requires a trans-encoded small RNA (tracrRNA), endogenous ribonuclease 3 (rnc) and this protein. The tracrRNA serves as a guide for ribonuclease 3-aided processing of pre-crRNA. Subsequently Cas9/crRNA/tracrRNA endonucleolytically cleaves linear or circular dsDNA target complementary to the spacer. The target strand not complementary to crRNA is first cut endonucleolytically, then trimmed by 3'-5' exonucleolytically. DNA-binding requires protein and both RNA species. Cas9 probably recognizes a short motif in the CRISPR repeat sequences (the PAM or protospacer adjacent motif) to help distinguish self versus nonself.
Bridging Antibody to Improve ChIP, MeDIP and IP
Some isotypes of mouse IgG antibodies do not bind well to protein G-conjugated agarose/magnetic beads, which are commonly used in ChIP, MeDIP and IP experiments. Capture efficiency can be improved by including an anti-mouse IgG bridging antibody because it binds with a strong affinity to both the protein G beads and the mouse IgG antibody. By increasing the affinity of the mouse primary antibody for the protein G bead, the Bridging Antibody for Mouse IgG can help improve the results of all ChIP, MeDIP and IP experiments that use Cas9 antibody (mAb).

Swansea's hopes adding to their three Welsh National Cup triumphs were ended for this campaign as the Black and Ambers edged a thriller at Rodney Parade.
The All Whites pack looked to dominate the early phases and a powerful scrum forced their Black and Ambers' counterparts to concede a penalty. Fly half Jac Wilson kicked the three pointer.
Winger Jedd Evans picked up a loose ball following a mistake by the Newport backs, but scrum half Rhodri Wells tried to force a pass to flanker Jack Perkins, who spilled it forward.
Wilson then attempted a drop goal from just inside the Newport half, but his effort swung horribly low and wide of the posts.
The visitors grabbed the first try when centre Ryan Evans took the ball at pace but was wrapped up in the tackle. However, the backs managed to recycle the ball through Jedd Evans, and a clever box kick by Wells was collected by full back Rhys Williams, who dived over the line to score. Wilson converted.
The home side began to attack with some menace as their backs injected pace into proceedings, but a pass went loose and lock Jay Williams dived on the ball to allow the Whites to clear.
A misjudged tackle by flanker Reuben Tucker gifted a penalty to Swansea and Wilson made no mistake with his effort at goal.
Jedd Evans and centre David Watts began an attack, but the forwards were driven back as the move lost momentum. However, Watts then made further yards upfield before number eight Rory Gallagher was held up over the line and then penalised for holding on after the tackle.
Centre Tom Pascoe then made a superb break through the middle and was supported by Tucker, but a forward pass brought an end to the move.
An infringement at the scrum by the Whites' pack allowed fly half Matt O'Brien to find touch deep inside the twenty-two. The home side took the lineout and hooker Henry Palmer was driven over for a try. O'Brien missed the conversion.
Tucker powered forward from a lineout and found Palmer in support, forcing the visitors offside at the breakdown. O'Brien kicked the resulting penalty goal.
On the stroke of half time the Black and Ambers went in search of a second try, but a loose pass was intercepted by lock Jay Williams, who showed a fantastic turn of pace to sprint 50 metres forward to score. Wilson converted.
Half-time:- Newport 8 Swansea 18
Newport soon put the late first half try behind them as full back Llwarch ap Myrddin and winger Wes Cunliffe sparked a dangerous attack. Replacement centre Haydn Palmer came close to scoring in the corner, but a stray pass sailed into touch.
A clever inside pass almost caught out the All Whites' defence and the forwards rampaged towards the line, forcing the visitors to kill the ball. O'Brien kicked to the corner, but Swansea managed to steal lineout ball and cleared.
The Whites' pack was driven backwards at a scrum and gave away a penalty. O'Brien found touch just five metres from the try line and the pack battered the Swansea defence, before Cunliffe and replacement hooker Will Evans were both held up inches short of the line.
From the scrum five, the visitors' forwards gave away a couple of penalties before the patience of referee Wayne Davies snapped and he awarded a penalty try. O'Brien converted.
Moments later the Whites were penalised for holding on after the tackle, allowing O'Brien to kick his side level.
With nine minutes of normal time left on the clock the visitors' defence stepped offside in midfield. O'Brien successfully kicked his side ahead for the first time with a penalty goal.
Swansea tried to hit back immediately when replacement full back Josh Jones embarked on a run, but he was turned over and centre Chay Smith turned defence into attack, but he in turn lost possession.
With time running out winger Andrew Claypole tried to sprint forward from inside his own twenty-two. He found Ryan Evans in support, who drew the defender and almost sent Jedd Evans over in the corner, but he lost the ball forward at the crucial moment.
The Black and Ambers did well to prevent Swansea from mounting any further attacks with lock Rhodri Jones and Cunliffe combining in midfield to venture forward. However, the move broke down and referee Davies blew up for full time shortly after.
Next up for Newport is a trip to Bridgend, while Swansea host Bargoed – both in the Principality Premiership Tier 2.

This is a fundraiser to raise money for worthy causes.
Here's some more information about it:
Disparities in health care around the world are obvious. Because most of us can't be there on the ground giving our time, we can give something to support the people who are. This month's projects are all based on one concept: When one person, village, region suffers - the world suffers. So if we suffer together, let's also try and make things better together. February's theme is human health. Follow the blog at: http://commentchangerlemonde.blogspot.com
Please support the organizer's efforts by donating to one of the projects below.


text: I love everything I've received, my husband and I really enjoy receiving your stones - it's fun to open packet and see what it's like. I've always liked to collect "rocks", big ones, small ones. Thanks so much, the quality of the stones we've received have met my expectations each time. I don't really know anything about healing with them but I do feel an affinity for them.


text: Prevents Beam LossDANBURY, Conn., May 4, 2006 -- Conoptics has added the 715 I polarizer to its 700 Series Faraday rotators and accessories.Conoptics said if a source laser is unpolarized or randomly polarized, conventional polarizers such as its model 720 cause a time-averaged 50-percent loss to the forward beam. The 721 avoids this loss by splitting the incident beam into two orthogonal linear components using double refraction in a birefringent crystal (calcite). A Faraday rotator and model 730 compensator are oriented so 45-degree rotations cancel in the forward direction. A second 721 recombines the beams that proceed from the assembly. The model 730 is required to properly orient the polarization of the separated beams with respect to the displacement plane of the output 721.In the backward direction, the first 721 encountered performs in its normal beam splitting function, Conoptics said. The 45-degree rotations of the 730 and Faraday rotator add, thereby reversing, the polarization of the two beams as compared to that in the forward direction. The second 721 encountered further spreads the beams, rather than recombining them. Since the returned power is absorbed by aperture stops that are part of the assembly, strong reflections of high power sources for more than brief durations will result in heating. In special situations where persistent strong reflections cannot be avoided, a modification to the 721 which extracts rather than absorbs the backward flowing power is available.In order to transmit in the forward direction and block in the backward direction, the length of the birefringent element in the model 721 must be sufficient to spatially resolve the two beams, the company said. Since the beams travel laterally separated in the rotator and compensator, the effective clear aperture of polarization insensitive assemblies incorporating 721s must be reduced to 1.75 mm and offset 1 mm from the mechanical centerline.For more information, visit: www.conoptics.com; e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Inc. 19 Eagle Rd.

Compared to the birthday breakfast I would have had at home, this one here in Man was a bit below the grade, a quarter limp baguette, a vache qui rit triangle and a Lipton teabag dipped in warm water served by a surly waitress. But a week from now I will make up, no doubt, with a spectacular replay.
On the second day of the workshop the group struggled to formulate a measurable result related to better coordination. Not surprisingly, people came up with more meetings and more people at meetings. We pushed for better and more creative results, such as setting up local structures to improve emergency preparedness, but the general attitude is one of victim – we are low on the country's political and economic ladder and we never get enough money.
People don't like it when I push them to be more creative and become agent rather victim – this is after all a leadership development program. There is some comfort in being able to decline responsibility and blame others for problems.
This may all seem very theoretical from a distance but yesterday a young woman, secretary of the regional health director whose district director is with us, died in the region's referral hospital after childbirth. She leaves behind her newborn and two small children. Everyone is very upset about this (though they also remark this happens a lot – as one could see in the maternal mortality statistics). It seems that the handovers were not done well. When people act as individual professionals and are looking only at their own responsibilities when their task is done, this is what happens. Although lack of trained personnel is sometimes a cause for such tragedies, at this hospital there were enough trained personnel. Heartbreaking, over and over again.
I sometimes think that working in teams, taking on a collective responsibility for outcomes, and willingness to shoulder blame is the biggest challenge in countries where people either have lived in constant fear of getting lost in the crowd of anonymous poverty or are still close enough to be worried. It's puzzling as I am dealing generally with the educated upper middle classes.
When I challenge the constant coming and going of people holding their telephone in front of them as if it pulls them out of the room, I am told these are urgencies. I count. "You had 10 urgencies today?" (this is not a doctor on duty). "Oui, it is my boss asking for information." "Can't you ask your boss to leave a message and you will call back during break time?" They look at me in shock. What, 'contredire le chef?" Culture and poverty…it is going to be a long journey.

Oregon meets five of the eight policy benchmarks aimed at addressing children's dental health needs, one more than it met in Pew's 2010 report. The state improved by achieving the threshold for the percentage of Medicaid-enrolled children receiving dental care. However, Oregon is one of only nine states that do not provide fluoridated water to at least half of their citizens.
The state reduced adult dental benefits in 2010.1 This change could have a negative impact on children, as research indicates that parents who visit dentists are more likely to arrange care for their kids.2 On a positive note, Oregon is one of only a handful to have sealant programs in more than half of its high-risk schools. Legislation was proposed in the 2011 session to create an advanced dental hygiene practitioner, whose duties would include filling cavities.3

Most startups still have a long product roadmap in front of them when they go out to market to raise money. That's normal and nothing to worry about because savvy, early-stage investors are very focused on what your company is going to be, not what it is now.Wayne Gretzky once said "focus on where the puck is going, not where it is now" – that applies here.
Since investors are buying into what your company is going to be, when you're presenting the addressable market opportunity your focus should be on your company's future destination, not the current pit stop.
While your current product may only meet the needs of a portion of the addressable market that you intend to serve or you may have only turned on one of many revenue lines to date, the addressable market that you present should include all viable revenue opportunities that you hope to attack during the life of this business.
Now that I've made my argument here – a caveat. The addressable market size of opportunities that require different foci, are exposed to different risk factors, have different costs or serve different customers down the road should be quantified and presented as separate opportunities from the addressable market of the core business.
Where do you draw the line?
Often the current addressable market includes all of the revenue opportunities that you are working toward attacking; the incremental addressable markets are often a second phase of the business and should be presented as such. In my experience, investors appreciate a real assessment of the target addressable market coupled with a quantification of the opportunity of how this business can get even bigger down the road.

Houston, FC Dallas secure victories
Marco Di Vaio scored in the 14th minute and the Montreal Impact beat the New York Red Bulls 1-0 on Saturday to improve to 4-0.
New York (0-2-2) finished the match short a man after defender Brandon Barklage was sent off for taking down Patrice Bernier at the edge of the penalty area in the 74th minute.
The Red Bulls had a slight edge in ball possession, but the Impact dominated the scoring chances and wasted a handful of opportunities to pad the lead.
A crowd of 26,259 saw Di Vaio whiff on a perfect setup from Andres Romero, have a shot from the left side blocked by Luis Robles and tip another ball just wide in the second half alone.
The Impact scored first for a fourth straight game in the 14th when goalkeeper Troy Perkins sent a long ball up the middle that was headed down to Bernier. The playmaker slipped a pass through the New York defense to Di Vaio, who beat Robles to the left side for his second goal of the season.
The Red Bulls new signing from Paris St. Germain, Peguy Luyindula, played his first game at forward and had his side's best chance of the first half. Heath Pearce's attempt off Juninho's free kick was deflected by Perkins to the top of the box, where Luyindula chipped it over the bar in the 38th minute. And Luyindula was in front again in the second, but only got a touch on a feed from the right side and was stopped by Perkins.
Thierry Henry wasn't available for New York because of a knee injury.
The Impact played their first two home games in Olympic Stadium and will move outdoors to Saputo Stadium for an April 16 match with Columbus.
New England, Sporting KC draw
The New England Revolution and Sporting KC played to a scoreless tie Saturday.
It was the second straight shutout match for both clubs. New England (1-1-1) is scoreless through 208 minutes, and Sporting KC (1-1-2) is scoreless in 203 minutes.
Sporting KC goalie Jimmy Nielsen didn't have to make a save en route to his second shutout of the season, while New England's Matt Reis stopped five shots in posting his second shutout.
Sporting KC, 0-2-3 in its meetings with New England, had its best scoring chance in the 19th minute when C.J. Sapong banged a ball off of the crossbar out of a goalmouth scramble.
During the second half, Sporting KC had two other good chances – a header by Ike Opara off of a corner kick in the 49th minute that was stopped by Reis, and a header by Sapong, off of another corner kick in the 83rd.
New England totaled six corner kicks, five during the first half of play, all off the toe of Lee Nguyen, but none created a shot. The Revolution's best opportunity came in the 78th minute on Juan Toja's direct kick, but the ball sailed over the crossbar.
Houston ends losing skid
Warren Creavalle and Giles Barnes scored 6 minutes apart in the second half to help the Houston Dynamo beat the Vancouver Whitecaps 2-1 on Saturday night.
After Barnes beat goalkeeper Joe Cannon with a header in the 56th minute, Creavalle found a loose ball in the box and kicked it past Cannon in the 62nd minute for the Dynamo (2-1)
The win helped the Dynamo extend their home unbeaten streak to 27 games, dating to July 2011. Houston has never lost at its new home, BBVA Compass Stadium
FC Dallas edges Real Salt Lake
Jackson scored a second-half goal and assisted on assisted on another in FC Dallas' 2-0 victory over Real Salt Lake on Saturday night.
Jackson scored in the 81st minute after he stole the ball from goalkeeper Josh Saunders outside of the goalie's box and tapped a shot into the center of the net. Saunders dribbled out of the net attempting to make a clearance before Jackson came around the left side to make the steal.
In the 71st minute, Jackson helped give FC Dallas the lead with a volley over the head of Salt Lake's Lovel Palmer. Fabian Castillo took possession of the pass outside the penalty area before dribbling around Palmer and firing a shot from about 15 yards into the left corner of the net. FC Dallas is 3-0 at home this season and 3-1-0 for the season. Real Salt Lake dropped to 1-2-1.

Hopefully there will be people in Cardiff who will remember me painting this picture in the streets when I did a little busking. Its an image I sent Neils name sake down at Police HQ, in one of my chase up letters. The title of this one is 'TRY!'
I had a reply from Mrs Ellis of the IPCC this week to the email n blog, to quote ''it would appear that the investigation is still ongoing'' there was nothing mentioned about any time scale for this investigation to be completed within, yet in Jane Carters visit I was told to expect a reply within 3 weeks, oh way back in January 06.
What I find remarkable with all this is that they are always putting you have 14 days or your have 28 days to reply to what ever report, yet they can take forever it would seem to respond to even well 'wots happening'.
Well I had callers to my door today Mr. Thompson from the ole council maintenance dept, callers who banged and rattled and hollered and I did not answer, so they went away ignoring the sculpture in the front garden that has a polite request for the gate to be closed they no doubt left it open with the ''f. you'' attitude and drove off, their little piece of paper stuck in the door jam not through the letter box.
So after I had closed the gate and came back in I wrote a tune on the Piano, some of the lyrics went 'are you proud of wot you did when you stoned that man to death'
So some wag in the council sent out this team and I am supposed to let them in am I. At the meeting with Jane Carter I showed her the bricks with plaster that I found in my hot water heating system, strange how I had that upgraded all of a sudden after her visit and the evidence taken away don't ya think, but I have kept the bricks I wonder what DNA sampling of that would uncover, and which one of the maintance dept put it there and did that individual do it off their own bat or were they told to by the guy who told the last gas engineer not to re-tape the fire surround back in place and made it unusable.
I still havent had a satisfactory answer from that man as to why he said that, after all it seems that the original contractors deemed it appropriate to leave it in that fashion, silver taped to the wall. I wonder Mr. Thompson if any other tenants having the new combi boiler system have had their gas fire silver taped to the wall or have I been the only one?????
So yes I washed and bathed and washed my clothes in that muddied water for a good few months, did they get off on it Mr. Thompson, I mean did they boast about the wonderfull thing that they had done to the other workers did they all have a good old laugh at crazydave expense, just like when Gem Morris had me talk to the head of that division and a gang of braying buffoons were listening on speaker behind him.
I wonder if you Mr. Thompson had had a history such as that you would openly invite more of these people into your home, most especially when the Chairman of the Council refuses to acknowledge that these complaints exist. I don't see the FERRET asking these questions of Mr. Berman over the actions of Council employees, I don't hear it on your radio broadcasts Mr. Thompson, or are you going to make pretend that you have no knowledge of these blogs.
Until this complaint of Victimization by Cardiff County Council is heard in a court of Law I would like an INJUNCTION PLACED AGAINST ANY UNELECTED OFFICIAL OF CARDIFF COUNTY COUNCIL FROM VISITING THE PROPERTY.
Do you think I will be granted such Mr. Thompson, I havent the finances to do it myself or I would and that is something the Justice Minister Edwina Hart ought to have a good look at. As she is going to have cc of the email highlighting this blog do you think she is going to offer advice on how I can have such an injuction, and it not cost me anything, do you think she will have someone move on my behalf on Monday the 4/12/06.
Do you suppose that the Chief Constable will insure that this takes place, or the Crown Prosecution Service, because I wonder what new game they had in mind Mr. thompson, and I havent contacted the contractors to upgrade the fire I want to keep it as it is for EVIDENTIAL purposes.
Oh and yes I have re-taped it in place with industrial Duck Tape its what I use for hanging my banner while I paint them on my wall, and I found the little screw that allows for the gas to flow through it so that its workable, and had I the facility to show it here I would and their lets play games head of maintenance can confirm that the inner screw has to be fully retracted in order for it to self seal with the cover screw fitting over it, so that there is no immediate danger or need for their visit.
Will anyone of the House of Lords Members who receive notification of this blog act to ensure that INJUNCTION is made so or my MP or my AM who have turned a blind eye to all of this suddenly find religion over the weekend and ACT to insure that INJUCTION is in place so these Fatherless children don't play their games at my expense any more.
Still no corporate Complaint number as of today fri 1/12/06 date Mr. Thompson, if it were you would you be satisfied with that, and I sure wanna see if that dept can furnish proof that they sent me emails asking for more information, and if so what ever became of it, and what ever more information would they need that is not in these blogs or in any of the emails I have sent to their co-workers, or couldn't Judith Woodman have forwarded the copy correspondence that she has received to them?
But then it seems that since my praising her for her at least responding to some of the issues I have raised she has all of a sudden gone very quiet. Why's that Crazydave, I don't know maybe Mr. Thompson ought to ask her.
Oh by the way Mr. Thompson looks like I have that DLA appointment on the 12/1/07, guess xmas is gonna be like the last few huh Crazydave yep, just another SOCIAL NORM to ignore, just like in Russia Eh Crazydave only here you can seem the products on the shelves even if you carn't afford them. Whats Xmas Crazydave when your living on the relative poverty line, just a Day to get over and let go of, and look forward to days in the new year when you have good stuff happen and say 'wow this is better than xmas day'.
I am just so glad that I was guided to put up the screen that stops anyone entering the back of the house Mr. Thompson so that I could wait till they had sodded off, without them banging on my back door.
I perceive their visit as harrassment, and if you were in my shoes you would as well Mr. thompson.
So tell me Mr. First Minister of the Welsh Assembly Rhodri Morgan am I going to see that protection this coming week from any further harrassment by unelected officials or employees of Cardiff County Council, Is the Crown Prosecution Service in need of any more to proceed with my complaint of Victimization by the Council or Wilful Neglect by your government, or is this Mr. Llewellyn of CCC going to say but I sent him this letter, last whotever explaining why the silver tape could not be replaced by one of his engineers.
Well Mr. Berman are you going to reply to this blog where you have failed to reply to any other and what about the rest of the Elected Officials at Cardiff County Council are they going to continue make pretending that 'cos you are not in my Ward Crazydave tough luck, you can be murdered by council officials for all we care'
One of the other tunes that came through when these guys went was 'Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it my distain as you walk away'
Love n Light Mr. Thompson

Despite all the recent hoopla surrounding big data, analytics is not a new concept. Analytics tools have been used by businesses since the mid-1950s. So what's new now?
The massive amount of unstructured data – from the web, social media, mobile, forums and other sources – deluging corporate networks is driving a new era of analytics, Analytics 3.0.
That's the assertion of Thomas Davenport, visiting professor at Harvard Business School and a senior adviser to Deloitte Analytics.
Davenport describes the differences between the first and second generations of analytics as well as the vast potential the third generation of analytics offers organizations in the Wall Street Journal.
Analytics 1.0 spanned the years between 1954, when UPS launched the first corporate analytics group, and 2009, Davenport notes.
This period was characterized by:
- Small and structured data sources generated internally
- Data that had to be stored in enterprise warehouses or marts before analysis
- Primarily descriptive analytics, or reporting
- Analytical models created in "batch" processes often requiring several months
- Quantitative analysts segregated from business people and decisions
- Analytics was considered marginal to business strategy
Analytics 2.0 emerged in 2010, as organizations began to use externally sourced data that was either very large or unstructured, meaning it couldn't be analyzed in a database.
"Visual analytics – a form of descriptive analytics – still crowded out predictive and prescriptive techniques," Davenport notes. "The new generation of quantitative analysts was called 'data scientists,' and many were not content with working in the back room. Big data and analytics not only informed internal decisions, but also formed the basis for customer-facing products and processes."
Analytics 3.0 combines the best of the two previous generations, i.e.:
- The combination of large and small volumes of data, internal and external sources, and structured and unstructured formats
- The support of both internal decisions and data-based products and services for customers
- Combining in-database and in-memory analytics with "agile" analytical methods and machine learning techniques that produce insights much faster
- Analytical models embedded into operational and decision processes, dramatically increasing their speed and impact
- Data scientists working with conventional quantitative analysts who excel at modeling data
- Companies creating "Chief Analytics Officer" roles or equivalent titles to manage data analysis strategy
- Analytics becoming central to many organizations' strategies
"It is clear from my research that organizations – at least the big companies – are not keeping traditional analytics and big data separate, but are combining them to form a new synthesis," Davenport notes. "There is little doubt that analytics can transform organizations, and the firms that lead the 3.0 charge (like Procter & Gamble ) … will seize the most value."
Another question that has evolved in parallel with the rise of big data, revolves around the difference between data science and analytics.
Piyanka Jain, founder of analytics consulting company Aryng, notes in Forbes that for companies to fully take advantage of analytics, the process of getting insights from the data needs to happen in parallel with the process that drives decision making and impacts the organization.
"Unless an insight sees the light of the day by way of getting transformed into a decision, it is a complete waste of resources and time," according to Jain. "So unless analytics drives business impact, it is not analytics, it is just statistics, it is just data science. To me, data science + decision science = analytics."

Our Girls
Our little mascot Peanut loves giving kisses to the ladies after their hard work day. She has a favorite squeaky toy but...she's afraid of the squeak noise so she only carries it around by the ear. (cracks me up) When she's not under my desk resting between licks she loves running around the park playing with the little dogs (she doesn't know she's a big dog). Peanut wanted you to know the you're not the only one who thinks housework is Ruff!

Judy is a little camera shy.. even though she's been with us for almost a year I've yet to "corner" her and get that pic. More my fault than hers. She absolutely loves to cook. If you wanted someone to create some good latin food for a party she would do it just for fun (almost) but we've had a hard time keeping our promise to not over eat since Judy started working here. It's funny that she would end up being team 5's kitchen girl. She loves working here but when she gets a day off she's all about that baste... :) We love having her here and her team enjoys a good meal on a daily basis. I think she is an asset to any client's home because of her culinary skills she loves a clean kitchen

Clarke and Rory McIlroy will play alongside US Masters champion Charl Schwartzel while Irishman Padraig Harrington plays with Tiger Woods.
Darren Clarke just had to laugh when one particular question was put to him in the build-up to this week's USPGA Championship in Atlanta.
"Do you think we might see another American win a major in our lifetime?" a reporter asked the Open champion.
It was only Augusta in April last year that Phil Mickelson beat Lee Westwood down the stretch, but it feels so much longer.
Six successive majors with non-Americans - Graeme McDowell, Louis Oosthuizen, Martin Kaymer, Charl Schwartzel, Rory McIlroy and Clarke - coming out on top has not happened since The Masters began in 1934.
There are also, of course, four Europeans - Luke Donald, Lee Westwood, Kaymer and McIlroy - at the top of the world rankings and Europe holds the Ryder Cup.
But Clarke, 43 this Sunday, is too old and too wise to be lulled into thinking United States golf is in terminal decline.
And he does not rule out a speedy return to form by Tiger Woods, only 37th out of 76 on his return from a 12-week injury lay-off in Akron last week.
"I think the PGA Tour has given the non-American players a huge opportunity to come over and play," said the Ulsterman.
"Consequently, they have become more comfortable over here and the whole game has opened up now.
"You look at the field this week. How many international players have we got?" The answer is 69 in the field of 156.
"The European Tour, of which I'm proud to be a member, has got some fantastic players and there are great players dotted all around the world.
"But, in saying that, you still have the likes of Dustin Johnson and Rickie Fowler and the other young guns coming through over here.
"I'm sure it's cyclical and Americans will start winning again very, very soon.
"But at the moment it's a wonderful time for the European Tour."
On Woods, with whom he played the first two rounds at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, Clarke stated: "I thought his game was pretty good - albeit I was chopping out of the trees an awful lot, so I didn't get to see it up close that much.
"I thought he hit an awful lot of really, really good golf shots and to come back after a long lay-off, you can practise as much as you want, but until you actually put yourself back into a competitive arena it's totally different.
"He got last week under his belt and I'm sure this week, if Tiger plays the golf he can, I have no doubt he can be in contention."
World number one Donald, however, does not expect Woods to be a factor come Sunday in the last major of the season.
"It's very difficult to come off a lay-off from injury," he told Press Association Sport.
"When I injured my wrist (in 2008), getting back into competition was completely different to hitting balls on the range.
"You can feel very comfortable on the range and getting back into that competitive mode is tough.
"It might take a little bit of time. From what I heard, he found a lot of positive in his game, but obviously it is not where he wanted to be.
"He wanted to win that tournament - that was his goal.
"It would surprise me if he went on and won in the next couple of weeks."
