Frequently Asked Questions: Learning on Illumeo
Here are answers to frequently asked questions about the Illumeo Expertise Management platform, assessments, analysis, courses, tools, and technology. If you cannot find the answer to your question below, please feel free to at any time.
What is the Illumeo Assessment Framework?
Illumeo's Competency Assessment Tool is built on an extensible assessment framework. The framework enables us to quickly and easily support a wide range of assessment models. Each assessment model is defined by: (a) a set of skills, capabilities, or other attributes to be assessed; (b) assessment criteria including definitions and detailed explanations; (c) a scale for the response set (e.g. 1-5, 1-10, Good/Better/Best, Below Expectations/Meets Expectations/Exceeds Expectations, No Awareness-Expert, etc.); and (d) a tagging mechanism and taxonomy enabling linkage between assessment results, benchmark data, and/or training courses.
How many assessment models has Illumeo developed?
Illumeo has built benchmark-based models to assess the capabilities of Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Human Resource professionals. These are available as standard models with links to benchmarks by job title and course recommendations. They can also be used as base models which corporate customers can customize for their specific organizations. Illumeo has also created a number of sample models suited to assessing project teams which customers can also use as is or as the basis for creating custom models.
How did Illumeo develop its assessment models for Sales, Marketing, Finance and Human Resources?
Our assessment models rely on many decades of experience and insights from subject matter experts, senior leaders in each respective function, and Learning & Development professionals. Once we collected sufficient benchmark data we then performed extensive testing to tune each model based on feedback from real-world users.
Can my company create its own assessment models?
Yes. Whether you want to build from our models, or create new models from scratch, the Illumeo assessment framework makes it exceptionally quick and easy to gather assessments and feedback from your team. Contact us any time for guidelines and assistance.
How does Illumeo's Competency Assessment Tool differ from other assessment tools and methodologies?
Illumeo's Competency Assessment Tool differs from other assessment tools in many ways: it covers the entire breadth of functional roles in Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Human Resources; each assessment is incredibly fast to complete; it easily scales from one user to a multi-thousand person organization; it accommodates and encourages collaboration among reviewers in an enterprise setting; its architecture and methodology greatly reduce spurious subjectivity; it is directly connected to a learning platform that recommends courses for filling competency gaps; it is almost infinitely customizable to accommodate competency models developed by virtually any organization; it is free for individual users and incredibly affordable for corporations to implement.
How does the assessment process work?
Begin by assessing yourself on competencies directly related to success in your functional role – Sales, Marketing, Finance, or Human Resources. Self-assessment takes only a few minutes and is point-and-click. Then select a "benchmark" job title to compare your input to the benchmark data for that position, e.g. "Financial Analyst." The tool then graphically displays where you are below, equal to, or above the benchmarks. You may select any job title benchmark to use as a comparator. For example, a Financial Analyst can compare him/herself to the Financial Analyst benchmark, and then right away compare to a Finance Manager, a CFO, or anything in between. Once you select a final benchmark, you will see further graphical analysis of areas of strengths and weaknesses. Finally, you are brought to the course recommendations page where you can see courses recommended to help close any competency gaps against your chosen benchmark job title.
Is there a person that will review my assessment?
No, not for individual self-assessments. Whether you are an individual subscriber or a corporate subscriber, the results of your individual self-assessments are not visible to anyone else.
If you are a corporate subscriber and your manager or a manager above them in your company has asked you to complete a corporate self-assessment, that manager and the managers above them in the organization, will be able to review your assessment, use the automatic job title comparison, and modify your development plan as needed.
If you are a corporate subscriber and your manager or a manager above them in your company has asked you to complete a corporate self-assessment, that manager and the managers above them in the organization, will be able to review your assessment, use the automatic job title comparison, and modify your development plan as needed.
What is the difference between a free assessment and an assessment with a personal or a corporate subscription?
If you are not a subscriber, you can complete a single self-assessment. Individual and Corporate subscribers can create an unlimited number of self-assessments giving them the ability to compare assessments and track improvement over time. Corporate subscribers get unlimited assessments for their company users including optional peer reviews, team assessment management tools, and optional custom competencies, job titles, and benchmarks.
What are Illumeo's Expert Certifications?
Illumeo's Expert Certifications are collections of online courses and related course materials that provide a deep, focused learning experience focused building expertise in corporate professionals. The curricula for Illumeo Expert Certifications typically include many hours of courses, many tests of knowledge taken along the way, and related learning materials.

What is considered a "valid" review for a course?
A valid review for a course includes both a "star rating" and a minimum of 20 words of descriptive text that would be helpful to someone else who is considering taking the course. Reviews such as "Great course" and "I took the course and found it informative" would not be considered valid because they are too short and are not helpful to a potential course taker.
Can I suggest a course or course topics?
Yes, we would love to hear your ideas for courses. Thank you for doing this! We want to hear from you about what instruction you want to see on Illumeo.
Is there a simple way to view and track all of my courses?

Final Exams
I'm ready for the Final Exam. I see a "Test not Available" message. What should I do?
In order to take the Final Exam, all boxes in the course syllabus/progress must be checked off as completed. Go to your course page, check off the lesson boxes and proceed to the Final Exam.
I failed the Final Exam. What now?
You can retake the Final Exam as many times as needed until you pass it. Each course includes "Review Questions" that provide guidance on why you may have answered a question incorrectly. We strongly suggest you complete the Review Questions prior to taking the Final Exam.
Why can't I see the questions I got wrong on the Final Exam?
In order to provide Continuing Professional Education credits, we are required to follow standards which govern how our Final Exams are administered. With our current design, we cannot provide feedback on right or wrong answers on the Final Exam. However, we are working on a new design which will enable us to provide feedback on all attempts taken to pass any Final Exam. Please check back in a few weeks, hopefully it will be ready by then.
Is there a simple way to view and track all of my Webinars?
Yes, every Illumeo member has a Development Plan. There you can view all the Webinars for which you are registered and/or those that you have completed.
I added an Illumeo Webinar to my Development Plan, but I did not attend it. Now it shows up as "Incomplete" in my plan. How can I remove this Webinar?
We automatically remove "Incomplete" webinars from user Development Plans if: (a) more than 3 weeks have passed from the original Due Date, (b) they are not marked "Required", and (c) they are not in the Archive folder. So, you don't need to do anything; our system will automatically remove Incomplete Webinars from your plan if they meet these three criteria.
Certificates and Continuing Education Credits
What is the Illumeo Certificate of Completion?
We provide a Certificate of Completion for each course for which you pass the Final Exam to recognize your achievement. In addition to our own certificate, we are authorized by a number of professional licensing organizations to provide their certificates enabling those users who hold professional licenses and who require Continuing Education (CE), Continuing Professional Education (CPE), and/or Continuing Professional Development (CPD) credits for which you are qualified are provided separately from the Illumeo Certificate of Completion.

There you will see all of the certificates you have earned on Illumeo, These certificates are always available for you to download or email to yourself.

Who are the Illumeo instructors?
Our instructors are leading practitioners and subject-matter-experts. Each instructor is rigorously vetted and must have at least five years of direct, hands-on, subject-matter experience; they must also pass a detailed interview and demonstrate extensive subject-matter knowledge. On average, Illumeo instructors have over 20 years of experience in their fields of instruction.
How do I contact my instructor?
Connecting and communicating with your course instructor is, in part, what sets Illumeo apart from other learning platforms. Every course has communication functionality built into the platform, enabling you to ask questions or discuss topics with your instructors before, during and even after you have completed your course. You must be enrolled in a course to communicate with the instructor.
How can I become an instructor?
Fill out this form and we will contact you. We have a rigorous vetting process that includes a review of your CV as well as a phone interview that explores your background and fit. Our instructors must have extensive, direct subject matter expertise before they are qualified to publish courses on the platform. You don't have to be a CXO to create a great course! You may have specialized expertise in your particular functional area that would benefit our community. When in doubt, apply and we will discuss the opportunity with you.
Why should I become an instructor?
There are three primary reasons consistently voiced by our instructors:
- Giving back. Teaching others skills that you worked long and hard to develop is not only personally satisfying; it helps countless others excel in their chosen profession and enables them learn from your experience.
- Exposure to and acclaim from a large and rapidly growing online community of corporate professionals. When you make it through our rigorous instructor vetting process, then get your first course(s) through our review process, your peers will see that you are, indeed, a subject-matter-expert who is giving back to the broader community of corporate professionals.
- Earning passive income. There is a significant revenue share available on every course – between 20% and 70%, with the typical revenue share coming in at 50%. Contact us to learn more.
Ratings and Reviews
How does the course ratings and reviews system work?
After completing a course and taking your Final Exam, we ask you to provide feedback by giving the course a rating (1 to 5 stars) and writing a brief review. This feedback is critical to the ongoing quality of the courses we provide. Only reviewed and rated courses with 3 or more stars are allowed to remain on our platform. By providing ratings and reviews, you are helping your peers select (or not) relevant and worthwhile courses. So, your input is very important to the value of the entire platform to all users.
When I select "Sort by Ratings," why do courses with fewer stars appear before courses with more stars?
Our sorting method combines the number of stars received with the number of user ratings posted for each course. Each course starts with an average ranking; each user rating posted above the average increases the course rank and each rating posted below the average decreases the rank. Therefore, if a course has only one user rating with a score of 5, it will appear lower when sorted by ratings than a course with 10 ratings of 4 stars. As more users rate that course with 5 stars, it will eventually pass the 4-star course in the rankings.
Technical Questions
Can I access courses from my mobile device?
Yes! All courses are accessible on demand from any smartphone, tablet, laptop or PC with a live Internet connection. Note: some phone operating systems restrict certain content or have browsers that don't conform to Web standards. Also, note that mobile data fees from your carrier will apply. Also note: if some corporate networks block or throttle video streaming websites. If you think this may be the case, contact your company's IT department.
What should I do if the lesson video doesn't play?
There may be several reasons why a lesson video will not load or play. Here are common sources of problems and potential solutions:
|Local blocking or throttling
|Check with your company's IT department. Illumeo uses Vimeo to stream our lessons to your computer. However, some companies block or throttle video streaming web sites to preserve bandwidth on the corporate network. Your company may also be using firewall or anti-virus software—or you may be connecting to the Internet through a proxy server. If any of these are true, you may need to ask your IT department to whitelist the following domains in order to access our lessons.
|Browser cache
Check that your browser is working properly. The cache in your web browser automatically copies data from every web page you visit, including videos, pictures, text and so on. Over time this accumulated data can cause your browser to stop functioning properly. This happens to most all browsers at random times. What you'll see are partially loaded or badly formatted web pages, incomplete pictures, the wrong picture in the wrong place, or videos that won't load or play.
To resolve this issue, you must clear your browser cache. Clearing the cache just means emptying it, so the next time you display a web page everything will be downloaded anew. Below are three alternatives to clear the cache in your browser.
Go to the page where you are having problems then:
|Outdated browser
|Check that your browser is up to date. We support the following browsers. Whichever browser you prefer, please use the most up-to-date version available. You can update your browser(s) here:
What can I do if the video freezes or stutters when taking a class?
If you have a firewall or anti-virus software enabled — or if you're connected to the Internet through a proxy server — you may need to whitelist the domains below in order to access Illumeo's lesson videos through Vimeo, our streaming service provider.
- Illumeo.com
- vimeo.com
- vimeocdn.com
What browser can I use with Illumeo?
We support the following browsers. Whichever browser you prefer, please use the most up-to-date version to ensure everything on the site works smoothly. You can update your browser(s) here:
Subscriptions, Pricing, and Refunds
How does an Illumeo subscription work?
As a Subscriber, you have access to all subscription-available courses in the Illumeo catalog. This is typically all courses on the platform not marked as available exclusively via an Illumeo Expert Certification program or any company-specific courses which are typically available only to employees of the company publishing such courses. Please check the then current online course catalog for details as to which courses are available via subscription at any point in time. Individual subscriptions auto-renew yearly. If you choose to not renew your subscription, you will lose access to all incomplete course content, but you can gain permanent access, excepting any course that is subsequently removed from the Illumeo platform by action of Illumeo or one of its instructors, to any course once you pass the course's final exam and provide a valid course review.
Do you offer corporate solutions?
Yes, we offer corporate solutions for teams. Corporate subscriptions offer access to a management framework for competency assessments, tools to enable managers to build personal development plans for each member of their team, recommend courses, assign required courses, and select course due dates for their employees. Courses can be tracked via a corporate dashboard, which provides visibility into each individual employee's development plan and his or her progress. You learn more about corporate solutions.
What is your refund policy?
We will refund your subscription if you are not satisfied within 30 days of the subscription purchase. Click on the following link to view our complete refund policy.
Why was my credit card charged Illumeo?
Some of our subscribers started out with us when we were called "Proformative". In late 2016 we re-branded ourselves as "Illumeo", and thus, if you got a credit card charge or a notification from your credit card company that Illumeo charged your credit card and you don't recognize the charge, that's likely because a) you signed up for us when we were Proformative and are not familiar with our new Illumeo name, and b) you forgot that we are an annual subscription-based service, and thus we charge your card for your annual fee every year. We do send out two emails prior to the auto-renewal, at both one month and one week prior to the renewal date, informing subscribers that the update is coming, so keep an eye out for those. Warning: it may find its way in to your junk mail box! That's not our fault, but rather an unfortunate side effect of aggressive anti-spam email filters. So please do check your junk mail on occasion if you want to catch our notifications. Note that, per this FAQ section, you can cancel your subscription at any time with a few simple steps. So, again, sorry about the confusion of the name change. Hopefully, if you get a credit card charge for Illumeo, you find your way to this FAQ so we can help you out.
Do Illumeo subscriptions auto-renew?
Yes, Illumeo Individual and Team subscriptions automatically renew at the end of the subscription term unless: (1) you cancel your subscription during the Subscription period; or (2) you request a cancellation within thirty (30) days after your renewal payment has been processed. Instructions for requesting a cancellation can be found in this FAQ.
How do I cancel my subscription?
You may cancel your subscription at any time. When you cancel your subscription, you may also be eligible for a refund per the terms of our 30 Day Refund Policy. If you cancel your subscription outside of the qualifying refund period, you are not eligible for a refund for your initial subscription period, thus you will have access to our tools and courses through the end of your initial subscription period. However, once you cancel your subscription, it will not auto-renew. To cancel your subscription follow these steps:
- Log in to Illumeo
- Hover your mouse over your name in the top right corner of the screen, then select "My Products" from the drop down menu
- Go to the Subscriptions and select "View/Update Subscription"
- Under "Options" in the top right of the that page select "Cancel"
- On the next screen click "Yes, I want to Cancel the Subscription", and you're all set.

Choice Tracks – Livin In Paradise, Nobody Knows Your Name, Immortal Memory, Time To Say Goodbye, Only Murderers Kill Time
After a seven year musical hiatus, Messiah's Kiss have come back to deliver another kick in the pants. The style is a bit different from their previous trio of albums. I was a fan of Messiah's Kiss before this, feeling they were a very talented group of musicians and that they delivered a very solid and powerful style of European Power Metal, with a bit of a fun swagger to it. Now, however, they have taken that swagger and infused it with a heavy dose of hard rock style energy and turned things up to a whole different level. I am not sure if this will offend any of their traditionally minded fans or not, but to me we have an incredible album of FUN music. Mike Tirelli's voice never sounded better as it really suits the material here! It's hard to quantify the music and pigeonhole it, but even the slower tracks are just rife with that infectious vibe and energy, it just all works on all cylinders. There are maybe two or three tracks that I could pass on and with 14 tracks bloating this CD, they weren't short on material, so I would have preferred they trimmed just a couple tracks to make everything that much tighter. If that is the case, I may have given it a perfect score! Either way, this CD is a killer release and one that has an incredible amount of replay value; very addictive!!

After two months (and a few last-minute changes) the design teams from Cini-Little and Kathy Diamond Design Associates have passed the baton to Mike Meyer, Punk's fearless architect. Mike and his engineers will take the kitchen, dining room and exterior designs and turn them into an official set of construction documents that we'll submit for building permits in June.
Despite what Bravo's "Top Chef" might have you believe, one hour and $1500 at Pier One does not restaurant design make. But two years, a team of professionals, and a decidedly larger budget should do the trick.

Preparation of an Adhesive in Emulsion for Maxillofacial Prosthetic
AbstractMaxillofacial prostheses is a dental medicine specialty aimed at restoring anatomical facial defects caused by cancer, trauma or congenital malformations through an artificial device, which is commonly attached to the skin with the help of an adhesive. The purpose of our research was to develop a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) based on acrylic monomers, characterizing and determining its drying kinetics, that is to say the time it takes to lose 50 to 90% of its moisture. The adhesive synthesis was realized by means of emulsion polymerization; the composition of formulations was: (AA‑MMA‑EA) and (AA‑MMA‑2EHA) with different molar ratios. The formulation based on (AA‑MMA‑2EHA) with 50 w% of solids, presented good adhesive properties such as tack, bond strength, and short drying time. We propose this formulation as a PSA, because it offers an alternative for systemically compromised patients, by less irritation compared to organic solvent-based adhesives. View Full-Text

Description from amazon:
Embark on a seafaring adventure in a brand-new series from bestselling author MaryLu Tyndall. After witnessing the death and destruction caused by the Civil War, Colonel Blake Wallace is eager to leave his once precious Southern homeland for the pristine shores of Brazil and the prospect of a new Utopian community. Widow Eliza Crawford seeks passage on Wallace's ship harboring a dirty secret—and a blossoming hope for a fresh start. But will dangers from the sea and from man keep them from the peace and love they long for?
My thoughts:
It took reading 39% of the book for me to really become hooked on it. From that point until I finished it, I could not put it down. Fascinating story, I've been looking forward to this series since reading about it on MaryLu's blog awhile back. The characters and the storyline do not disappoint, I would rate both of those 5 stars.
I am rating the book as a whole as a 4 star book however. There were a couple of, what I felt were historical errors, in the book. in an early chapter of the book, a character stated he'd been in a battle in '84. As the Civil War took place between 1861 and 1865, I did feel this was likely a typo. Also, Eliza's (the main female character) father was stated to have worked for President Jefferson Smith. My assumption is the author was referring to the President of the Confederacy, who was Jefferson Davis, not Jefferson Smith. Although neither of these issues stopped me from completing the book, they did impede my enjoyment of it.
I liked the secondary characters and hopefully will see their stories continue in subsequent books in the series.

Spectacularly scenic
The road is 17 miles, single track, dead end, but a "must recommend" to sight see. Between big hills, close up.
Runs beside a river, so basically downhill. I have sent two 60+ cousins on bicycles - relaxed, no problems, I did collect them and their bicycles by car.
Kings House hotel is in sight from north end, for coffee, soup, toilets.

Understanding Production with DevOps Archeology
Lee Fox spoke at Continuous Lifecycle London about tools and methods to help make sense of today's complex systems and infrastructure; he calls it DevOps archeology.
Eric Evans: Domain-Driven Design Even More Relevant Now
Eric Evans, author of Domain-Driven Design, said the concepts in the book he wrote in 2003 are even more relevant now than they were 14 years ago. As the range of tools and technologies has expanded, some lend themselves to the principles of DDD better than others we've had in the past. Evans said, "DDD is not about technology, but is not indifferent about technology."
Changing the Image of Software Developers to Achieve Higher Diversity
We have to break the cycle of hiring ourselves over and over again to achieve higher levels of diversity in the software industry, argues Birgitta Böckeler. According to her, things are slowly changing; organizations increasingly focus on diversity and inclusion. There are a lot of people out there who could be great and very happy to become a software developer, but they never even discover it.
SysAdvent: DevOps Yearly Review And a Bit of History
Every December, the SysAdvent community publishes twenty-five articles, one per day until Christmas. The articles touch on a broad set of DevOps topics, ranging from low-level sysadmin tools to people and process issues. SysAdvent 2014 is now underway with twelve articles already published. Each SysAdvent acts like a yearly snapshot, making it possible to follow DevOps history over the years.
Miguel de Icaza's Keynote at Monospace
Michael Cote, aka RedMonk, has provided an audio recording of Miguel de Icaza's keynote at Monospace. Miguel talked about Mono's history, some plans for the future, Silverlight, and he gave a demo of building a Linux appliance.
DeMarco Reflects on 40 Years of Software Engineering Evolution
40 years after the NATO Conference on Software Engineering, Tom DeMarco paused to reflect on the discipline's evolution, wondering whether the metrics orientation he championed has distracted from the real point of computing: "transformation, creating software that changes the world." Is his earlier advice valid, though? "No", he said, in Software Engineering: An Idea Whose Time Has Come and Gone?
Article: Harvesting SOA
In a new article, Wil Leeuwis explores lessons that can be learned from a historical perspective when thinking about SOA. He argues there's a lot of old, well understood and practically applied theory that can help us harvesting the profits of the innovation part of the services-world.
Lord Of The Rings: Web Style
Paul Downey has produced a Lord of the Rings style adventuring map for SOA, titled The Web Is Agreement.
InfoQ Presentation: DSDM and Lean Explained
This second Agile2006 Agile Styles video looks at DSDM and Lean. Jean Tabaka covered the history and principles of the venerable DSDM methodology, founded in 1994 and now accepted in the UK for use on government contracts. Mary Poppendieck gave real examples of how the 7 Lean principles provide competitive advantage, and discussed the relationship between quality, speedy delivery and low cost.
Billy Hollis on the Future of Software Development
Infoq sits down with Billy Hollis to talk about the state of the .NET world and sofware development. Billy talks about topics from Data Access to 3D interfaces.
Book Excerpt: Agile Software Development, 2nd ed.
In this updated classic on Agile software development, Alistair Cockburn adds reflections from five more years of practice and research. InfoQ brings you Chapter 1, in which he's compared software development with another team-cooperative game - rock climbing - and two common comparison partners, engineering and model building, in order to explore alternate ways of thinking about the work we do.
2nd Edition of Alistair Cockburn's Classic Book Published
Agile Software Development: The Cooperative Game (2nd ed.) by Alistair Cockburn launched this week, adding new insights in several new "Evolution" chapters. This seminal book for Agile practitioners is now expanded, addressing timely topics like: the controversial relationship between Agile methods and user experience design, Agile and CMMI, and writing "custom contracts."
Interview: Ivar Jacobson on the UP, UML, MDA, and the future of methodologies
Ivar Jacobson, one of the creators of the Unified Process, UML, and use cases, introduces his vision for a next generation development methodology that is both agile and comprehensive like the Unified Process (UP). His vision includes 'Intelligent Agents' which make customization recommendations based on tool usage patterns. Jacobson also talks about his views on UML, MDA, AOP, and the future.
Why 1994 and 1998 CHAOS Stats Differ Widely
Jim Johnson, creator of the CHAOS Chronicles on project failure, answers a question outstanding after our August interview: How does he explain the amazing change in cost overrun from 189% in 1994 to 69% in 1998? Apparently Standish planned to publish a CHAOS report in 1996 but held it back due to these unexpected results. Johnson shares what their research revealed happened.
Practitioners Adapt Agile to Local Constraints
Some people think they can only be Agile with small, co-located teams and full management support, but most teams aren't that lucky. So, should they should give up on Agile techniques? Scott Ambler's answer is a resounding "No!" His Dr. Dobbs article "Imperfectly Agile: You Too Can Be Agile!" outlines how Agilists overcome common challenges that others use as excuses for not being Agile.

then went away, leaving the tortoise, saying that he would presently return.
The jabutí ate until he was satisfied, and waited for the monkey, who did not return. He desired to descend, but was unable, and so he remained looking down, afraid to let himself fall, lest he might be killed.
By and by, a jaguar came along, and, looking up into the tree, saw the jabutí.
"U'i yautí!" said he, calling to the tortoise, "what are you doing up there?"
"I am eating Inajá fruit," answered the jabutí.
"Throw me down one!" said the jaguar. The tortoise plucked a fruit and threw it to the jaguar, who, having eaten it, said: "Sé reté![1] Throw down another!" The tortoise obeyed.
"Why don't you come down?" asked the jaguar. The tortoise answered that he was afraid lest he should be killed.
Now the jaguar wanted to make a meal of the tortoise, so he said:
"Don't be afraid! Jump! I will catch you!"
The tortoise leaped down, but the jaguar missed his aim, and the tortoise, striking him on the head, killed him. The jabuti, unhurt, then went off to his hole.
- ↑ In one variant, the tortoise is represented as throwing down only empty shells.

Everyone loves the internet. And at Three, we want you to be able to get online whenever and wherever you are without it costing the earth.
With Mobile Broadband you can connect to the internet wherever you go. It's the Internet with legs. You don't have to be plugged in with an ethernet cable, or even be in range of a Wi-Fi hotspot, since Mobile Broadband technology provides you with your very own personal internet connection.
If you're completely new to Mobile Broadband, then our Beginners Guide to Mobile Broadband is the place to start.
The sheer freedom and flexibility of a Three dongle, SIM or Mobile Wi-Fi is great, but which plan is right for you? Then once you've selected your device, there's Pay Monthly and Pay As You Go to choose from, plus plenty of data options. So here's a bit more info to get you started…
Pay Monthly vs. Pay As You Go.
If you know you'll be using your Mobile Broadband connection regularly, you're probably better off with a Pay Monthly plan. That way, you won't need to worry about topping up - it's just a case of choosing the right plan, based on how much data you're likely to need and how much you're looking to pay. And choosing the right method for getting online, depending on what device you're going to be using.
With Pay As You Go, you can get a dongle, Mobile Wi-Fi device or Mobile Broadband SIM that's preloaded with data. And when that's used up, it's really easy to top-up.
All our Pay Monthly and Pay As You Go plans come with a range of added extras. Monthly payments make it easy to stick to a budget – and there are plenty of options to choose from.
How much data do you need?
We have a bunch of different plans for different needs, but the main question to ask yourself, is how much data will you need?
Firstly, try and work out whether you're an occasional, moderate or regular data user. The answer to this question will depend on what you generally need Mobile Broadband for, for example:
· A monthly plan with 1GB will suit anyone who just wants to be able to do the basics, such as occasionally browse websites and send a few emails each week.
· A 10GB plan is geared for someone who wants to be able to do a bit more, such as download documents and stream videos.
· The maximum amount of data that we offer on a monthly plan is 15GB, which should be more than plenty for most people.
Using Mobile Broadband abroad.
Don't forget that with Three, using the internet 'on the go' isn't something that's just confined to the UK – in fact, you can use our tablets, dongles and Mobile Wi-Fi devices in over 138 countries.
And we don't think you should have to pay a premium for using normal services when you're on your travels. So any data you use when you're abroad will come out of your normal allowance if you're in one of our 60 Feel At Home destinations.
Find out more about Feel At Home and getting your mobile device ready for using the internet abroad.
How reliable is Mobile Broadband?
The reliability of your Mobile Broadband service is similar to that of your normal phone, and the strength of your signal will determine the quality of your experience.
Make sure you use our coverage checker to see what the signal is like near you before committing to any package.

The personal intranet
Linchpin offers your employees a fully personalized user experience with the best conditions for productive teamwork, efficient creation and acquisition of information and structured knowledge management. All this from an intranet that connects and inspires.
Intranet, that connects
Linchpin is a fully developed and efficient social intranet platform that focuses on effective collaboration and reduces complexity by means of user-specific customization. It covers both the requirements of users and the needs of management. On the one hand, it is an intuitive, straight-forward collaboration system that promotes modern, autonomous teamwork. On the other hand, it is a systematic knowledge management system that controls information flows. And all this with maximum security, excellent scalability, and a transparent, inexpensive fixed-price model for introduction projects.
Atlassian Confluence
The solid foundation of the Linchpin suite is provided by Atlassian Confluence, one of the world's most successful and popular business applications and collaboration solutions. Confluence alone is not a fully-fledged intranet system and does not try to be one. Its focus is purely on modern team collaboration (Intranet 2.0) and not on corporate requirements for intranets (Intranet 1.0).
Technical enhancements
Linchpin combines both approaches and makes the excellent basis of Confluence into a real social intranet with the help of our in-house developed apps. This lets employees work together seamlessly and also covers the classical corporate requirements of an intranet.
Extensive personalization
Based on settings within a user's profile (language, location, department, etc.), Linchpin adjusts the main navigation and certain parts on the user's personal homepage. With this, you can deliver specially tailored content to all employees. You have complete control over the flow of information via editorial channels and processes.
Corporate design
With Linchpin you get a customized theme matching your company's corporate design. This not only significantly improves the user-friendliness of the system, but also increases acceptance among employees and helps them identify with the application.

Marketing 101
Essential tools for marketing
Marketing is the practice of making products worth talking about, and then creating stories that get them talked about. It sometimes (but only rarely) uses advertising as a tool. Most of all, it starts with what gets made and why and how.
Tools that are useful:
A phone
The most important element of marketing is story telling, figuring out how to make something worth talking about, and talk about it in a way that resonates. While social media seems like a magical wonder megaphone, the fact is, calling your customers and talking to them is an overlooked shortcut. Humility plus compassion opens you to true connection.
This is software built on the idea of permission marketing. You can deliver millions of emails to people who want to get them (your true fans, your customers or the merely interested) for just a few dollars. Easy to use, helpful people and beautifully done.
Very different sites with similar goals: to help you find talented designers and other freelancers that can take your work and make it professional enough to sell. Rule of thumb: pay a lot and try to get more than you pay for.
It doesn't really matter which one. Marketing is about learning how to see — to see opportunities, to see stories that resonate, to see dissatisfaction. One way to see better is to read more, daily. And blogs are a priceless way to do that. In fifteen minutes a day, I can keep up on more than 100 blogs a day. Consider: Copyblogger, Scott Adams, David Meerman Scott, Mitch Joel, Steve Dennis — and then, with gluttony, add every blog you can find, then prune.
Marketing lends itself more to discovery and education via books than any other topic I know. A thorough reading of a hundred books is enough to make you aware of just about all the nuance (at least the nuance that you can get without actual experience), but perhaps you could start with a few:
John Jantsch's Duct Tape Marketing is a fine primer for the small business person who wants to market without relying on merely buying ads or spamming the world. He offers free ebooks as well.David Meerman Scott's New Rules of Marketing & PR is quite tactical and helpful.06/23/14
Sample excerpts from Duct Tape
Price, as I suspect you've learned, is a terrible place to compete. There will always be someone willing to go out of business faster than you.
Find something that separates you from your competition; become it and speak it to everyone you meet. Quality isn't it; good service isn't it; fair pricing—not it. These are all expectations. The difference needs to be in the way you do business, how you package your product, the way you sell your service, the fact that you send cookies to your clients, your ability to show people how to transform their lives—it's in the experience you provide.
My definition of marketing is: "getting someone who has a need, to know, like, and trust you."
Don't think about making a sale online; think about getting a chance to make an impression.
Develop your marketing strategy around a narrowly defined ideal client above all.
Few businesses really provide great service. In fact, stealing market share in mature markets is one of the easiest paths for smart start-ups to run.
From New Rules:
I'm absolutely convinced that you will learn more by emulating successful ideas from outside your industry than by copying what your nearest competitor is doing
When you stop talking about you and your products and services and instead use the web to educate and inform important types of buyers, you will be more successful.
For most people and organizations, it's better to be active in a few social networking sites instead of creating profiles on dozens of them and being too busy to spend much time in any one.
Instead of a one-size-fits-all website with a mass-market message, we need to create many different microsites—with purpose-built landing pages and just-right content—each aimed at a narrow target constituency.
You are not just creating a big brochure about your organization. You're writing for your buyers, not your own ego.

Those are great, but I tend to prefer things that are unique and unusual that appeal to their visual, tactile, develop hand and eye co-ordination and creativity. Have you seen "A Squirrel's Tale" or "There's a Mouse in the House", to name a few.
- Michelle said...
Yes. I used to own a copy of A Squirel's Tale. We lost the squirrel, so I got rid of the book. Some of the reviewers at Amazon traced the squirrel on the back of the book and made a new one. I can't remember if A squirrel's Tale has rhyming or repeated language. Books with interactive options are great. I added the ones you suggested. These type of books increase child interest in books through play. Three books from the list are interactive and have lift flaps: Dear Zoo, Who's Making That Mess, and Where's Spot.

Twin Cities ABC affiliate KSTP has released a SurveyUSA poll showing the Minnesota gubernatorial race essentially tied, while Amy Klobuchar maintains a strong lead over Mark Kennedy. The SurveyUSA poll reflects "likely voters." In Minnesota every vote counts in this election.
The Minneapolis Star Tribune's Minnesota Poll, by contrast, reflects results of all adult respondents weighted under a secret formula to reflect the likelihood of the respondents' actually voting. In the words of the Star Tribune, "all adults [with a few exceptions] are likely voters." And in the land of Minnesota's angry humorist, they are also all above average.
The Star Tribune's most recent Minnesota Poll was conducted October 6-11 and showed Democrat Mike Hatch with a wide lead over incumbent Republican Governor Tim Pawlenty. This was at the height of voter outrage over the Mark Foley scandal. October 6 was the date many people were speculating that House Speaker Dennis Hastert might resign.
Unlike many polls, the Minnesota Poll does not weigh to balance for partisan designation and does not publish the poll internals. I understand that the partisan make-up of the last Minnesota Poll was 39 percent DFL, 28 percent GOP, 33 percent independent/none/other. I think it is unlikely that, even then, there was an 11 point advantage for the Democrats in Minnesota.
Today the Minneapolis Star Tribune unleashes a torrent of endorsements of bad Democrats for Congress including Keith Ellison, Patty Wetterling and Coleen Rowley. At least they don't invoke "diversity" as a rationale.

Casually connecting with other human beings always recharges my batteries, making me feel better about life. Stop smirking, because this is not about sexual contact. I am referring to those simple greetings and small talk that we exchange with strangers who happen along our daily paths.
When I make my weekly trip to the grocery store, I am drawn to the cashiers who engage in conversation. My favorite lady always asks how I am doing, and waits to hear my reply. We talk about the weather or some other general topic, chit -chatting for a few moments while she rings up my purchases. After our pleasant exchange, I go merrily on my way, feeling like a valued member of the community, energized and happy as I walk out to my car.
One week, she happened to be off. The employee who rang up my order was a pleasant enough young lady. She smiled and said, "How are you?" but she never made eye contact, so she did not seem interested in my answer. She then began talking with another cashier about something that was going on at school. I felt like a third wheel, left out and embarrassed to be eavesdropping on their conversation, even though they were not saying anything inappropriate. They were doing their jobs, and I was just a customer. I missed my usual interaction, and left the store feeling dejected and out of sorts.
When my children were young, I did my share of long afternoons waiting with a sick child in a pediatrician's office. Time dragged by as I tried not to worry about all the work that waited at home. Feeling impatient and isolated, I wondered why this was happening to me. One day, I looked around and realized that the room was full of mothers in the same boat. I smiled at the mom sitting across from me and made a comment about turning gray before the doctor ever saw my child. She laughed and said that the kids might actually be too old to go to a pediatrician by the time they got to see him. Suddenly, it all seemed a little easier to bear.We were not alone. We were part of something bigger than ourselves, even if it was the sisterhood of frazzled moms.
Our busy lives often leave us feeling isolated, and disconnected. We are creatures who crave validation. When we make connections with other humans, it is like plugging into a source of power. Electricity surges, our lights glow, and we see that we belong. I take comfort in that.

'Santabomb' could bring wild weather for Christmas Day
LONDON, Ont. — Twas the night before Christmas and all through the town.
A storm nicknamed SantaBomb is apt to swirl down.
As children are nestled all snug in their beds,
It's shovels, not sugarplums, for moms and for dads.
Welcome to winter: Two storms are likely to whack the northeastern United States and into southern Ontario as early as Christmas Eve and last through until Boxing Day, and have the potential to wreak havoc for travellers, say forecasters.
Predictions from Canadian, American and European forecasters all say we're in for a bit of a mess, said Environment Canada meteorologist Geoff Coulson.
Messy storm is in the making for Christmas & people are dubbing it #SantaBomb. Cute. Anyway, my visualization for it: pic.twitter.com/2aLOsW3gw7— Matt Day (@mattdaymedia) December 19, 2014
So much of a mess that some on social media have already dubbed the predicted storm #SantaBomb.
The first weather system on Dec. 24 will likely bring rain "or at worst, a sloppy mix of rain and snow," Coulson said.
But temperatures will dip and winds will increase as a second system comes through.
That one is likely to bring blowing snow to the region on Christmas Day and Boxing Day, he said.
The pattern and path of the storm could still change – it's still a week away – but travellers should be aware that they may be heading into messy driving.
#Santabomb pic.twitter.com/qnpnZwom0E— HotWxTakes (@paulythegun) December 17, 2014
"Any way you slice it, the relative quiet part of winter we've been experiencing is over," he said.
It's forecast to be a wide-swathed storm that takes in much of the continent, from Iowa eastward.
Coulson said people should seek out any special weather statements issued by Environment Canada as Christmas approaches.

Is Whitney Houston's daughter, Bobbi Kristina, dating her 'brother' Nick Gordon? Several media outlets are claiming it's true, with RadarOnline offering up photos on their site – showing Bobbi K and Nick holding hands and embracing – as proof.
But it's not quite as salacious as it seems – the two aren't actually siblings. Nick, 22, was taken in by Whitney nearly 10 years ago and only those in the singer's inner circle knew about her 'secret son.' Despite the fact that Whitney treated Nick as one of her own, she never officially adopted him.
And what does Nick have to say about this? Well it depends who you talk to.
"We're just close," he told ABCNews.com about his relationship with Bobbi Kristina,19. "Just going through her mom's passing and grieving together."
But Nick told a different story on Twitter, writing, "Yeah we got a little closer and what!!!"
As for those photos, Bobbi appears to be wearing a sizable diamond ring on her left hand, adding fuel to one tabloid's claims that the two are actually engaged.
"Nick proposed to Krissy on March 10, and she said yes," a family friend reportedly told Star. "Krissy said Nick is the only person she trusts in the world. They have a very deep connection."

The Biggest WDW Guidebook Of Them All
2 comments:
- Practical Mom said...
The Unofficial Guide, The Official Guide, and Passporter are all wonderful Disney World vacation information books. But, so much information can be overwhelming, especially to first timers. Having all that information is not necessarily helpful if you don't know how to use it, and the guidebooks provide little help in the way of how to use the information. There is one book that demonstrates how to research, where to find the best info (which can all be found online), and most importantly how to use that information to plan the most cost effective trip. That book: The Practical Mom's Disney Vacation Companion which can be found at: www.momswdw.com
