Group Instruction Feedback Technique
Group Instruction Feedback Technique
Just like surfing a website for information – a lecture should be resourceful, engaging, outcome based, and or a guide to other resourceful information. I started to think about this…a lectures purpose is similar to a websites purpose…both provide information! I was searching on Stephen Brooksfield's website for information about lecturing creatively. I appreciated how Stephen Brookfield had various resources such as videos, podcasts, PowerPoint presentations, visuals, writing, workshop material and much more. What a creative website, useful, resourceful, engaging and for some reason I am intrigued to go back to it to find answers. This is exactly how a lecture should be. Not the stereotypical – a lecture eroded from the 80's – plane mundane mono toned professor with a structured lecture that only is probably only geared to engage a few learners.
I am sure no professor, presenter or lecturer's intentions is to provide information for learning in the most boring way. We also aren't born with a natural talent to be charismatic, and able to engage everyone when we open our mouth to speak. Therefore, lecturing or presenting, to entice your audience, the learner, is a skill learned.
Education isn't just about conveying information as efficiently as possible. A lecture, done right, gets to the heart of why a lesson is worth learning.
By Richard Gunderman, MD, PhD
From Chapter six – The Skillful Teacher- on Technique, Trust, and Responsiveness in the Classroom by Stephen D. Brookfield;

Here are our top 20 Tips for New Lecturers
The role of a lecturer is critical in keeping students engaged and actively listening to the topic in hand. Preparing for your first lectures can be a daunting process, but the following tips are designed to give you all the information, tools and advice that you need to get started.
1: Engage from the beginning
As a new lecturer, the first five minutes of your lecture provides a golden opportunity to get your students to sit up and pay attention. Start with the obvious – introduce yourself, explain your objectives for the lecture and outline learning outcomes. If you begin with passion and enthusiasm then your students are more likely to engage from the outset.
2: Spark Curiosity
Your introduction needs to engage, excite, challenge and create expectations, so add in interesting or little-known facts to spark curiosity from the very beginning. Scanning the room after the first five minutes will give you a good indication of how engaged your students appear to be.
3: Consider your framework
When preparing the framework of your lecture, consider the sequencing of your material and make sure that it's presented in a clear and logical manner. The pace should be well controlled so that you are able to move through the material keeping students engaged throughout.
4: Organisation is everything
One of the crucial elements to a successful lecture is the planning process. You need to be fully confident about the content, structure and delivery of the material before you begin, so organisation is a key part of successful lecturing.
5: Use visual aids to maintain interest
Lecture content has been revolutionised with the rising age of technology. With visual aids, lecture material can be broken up with visual stimulation such as educational videos, which are particularly effective in conveying information in a powerful manner, Keynote or Powerpoint.
6: Avoid jargon
There's nothing more likely to disengage your audience then endless jargon and abbreviations. If you are lecturing on a specialist subject, don't assume that your students will understand jargon from the outset – making your lecture accessible and clearly understood is critical.
7: Work on your presentation style
Good lecturing is a process of continuous improvement, so always strive for best practice with your presentation style. You can be animated without being theatrical – after all, you are not putting on a show – but you need to keep your students' attention. Avoid fidgeting and keep body language strong and confident.
8: Passion and enthusiasm goes a long way
Don't be afraid to show your genuine passion and enthusiasm for your subject. Conveying lecture material in an enthused and passionate manner will instantly attract attention and will help students to focus and endorse your point of view.
9: Watch your tone of voice
Make sure that you vary the intonation of your voice when presenting lectures. Use humour and conversational tone to help maintain attention. It can help to record your voice before your first lecture or ask friends and family for feedback.
10: Pace the lecture well
Try to pause at regular intervals to ensure that your students are still engaged and attentive. Ask questions to see if they are keeping up with the pace; this will help you to organise future lectures effectively.
11: Include rarely-obtained information
As an authoritarian on your specialist subject, there's no better way to impress students than to come up with new facts or information that your students can't easily get access to. This will spark their curiosity and maintain interest.
12: Test engagement half way through
Keep the lecture interactive with a break half way through in which you can ask questions, ask students to tackle a problem or create a think-tank process.
13: Record your lectures
It might feel a little uncomfortable at first, especially as a new lecturer, but by filming your lectures and watching them back you can learn volumes about your presentation style, content, delivery, tone of voice and also monitor the engagement of your audience.
14: Strive to remember names
This may be a challenge, but remembering your students' names will help to build relationships when asking questions or engaging in interactive sessions.
15: Feedback and evaluation
Proactively seek opportunities for feedback at the end of sessions – this is one of the greatest ways to learn and improve for the future.
16: Respect your students' learning style
Your group of students will learn differently, so listen to their feedback and respect their varied learning styles. Some will prefer a more interactive approach, while others will respond best to visual aids such as educational videos or images. Place your students' learning needs at the heart of your future frameworks.
17: Achieve a polished finish
Achieving a structured finish is a key part of a successful lecture. Bring the material back to the original questions posed at the beginning, refocus attention and confirm what you will be covering in the next lecture.
18: Choose a compelling exit question
In the same way that you need to start the lecture by sparking curiosity, finish with a compelling exit question that furthers students' learning and introduces a new perspective. If your students leave the room actively engaged, then you've succeeded.
19: Strive for continuous improvement
Lecturers should be continuous learners; strive for improvement, ask for advice and be excited by the opportunity to learn something new about successful lecturing.
20: Comment on successful engagement
As a new lecturer, take every opportunity to praise your students. If your students are clearly engaging with your material then acknowledge this and show your appreciation. Positive feedback is a key aspect of building good relationships with your student audience.

Each Province in Canada have their own quality assurance system, there is not one governing body for all post-secondary education schools that evaluate or grant accreditation.
The following are the type of post-secondary schools in BC;
Public Institutions in BC
Private Institutions in the BC Transfer System
Out-of-Province Institutions in the BC Transfer System
Other Private Institution
Indigenous Adult and Higher Learning Association (IAHLA) Institutes
Each province or territory in Canada has developed its own quality assurance mechanisms to ensure the legitimacy of institutions, public and private. In BC, acts of the provincial legislature establish and govern public institutions and the Degree Quality Assessment Board (DQAB) approves individual degree programs for both public and private institutions. The BC Council on Admissions and Transfer relies on these quality assurance mechanisms as a basis on which to grant membership to the BC Transfer System but is not, itself, charged with responsibility for quality assessment or recognition of institutions or programs.
Canada does not have a national or regional accreditation system for post-secondary institutions and therefore educational jurisdictions, except in some limited circumstances, do not normally employ the term "accredited" to denote provincially authorized or recognized institutions. In Canada, since post-secondary education falls under provincial, rather than national, jurisdiction, each province uses its own quality assurance processes to ensure the legitimacy of institutions. For a complete explanation, readers are referred to Quality Assurance Practices for Postsecondary Institutions in Canada, an excellent document maintained by the Canadian Information Centre for International Credentials (CICIC). This fact sheet provides an "overview of Canada's postsecondary institutions and the types of quality assurance mechanisms that are in place." Additional resources and links are provided, including detailed information on British Columbia Quality Assurance Practices.
Many programs in British Columbia institutions have been accredited by professional accrediting or licensing associations.
In BC, the formal application of the term "accredited" to institutions as a whole is limited to those private institutions that have successfully undergone the voluntary certification process of the Private Training Institutions Branch (PTIB) of the BC Ministry of Advanced Education which administers the Private Training Act and associated regulations. This process is required to establish eligibility to participate in provincial and federal student financial assistance programs. It does not imply or guarantee that courses or programs taken at these institutions will be recognized for transfer credit at any of the public post-secondary institutions. Note: These processes were formerly overseen by the Private Career and Training Institutions Authority (PCTIA) which was dissolved in 2014.

Health care professionals in Canada are expected to abide by their association standards, i.e. Canadian Nurses Association (CNA), or their health care licence could be revoked. Also, there are evaluations that are conducted in the work place which include evaluation of the health care professional; for example working in the residential health care sector. The quality assurance systems in place are to evaluate all aspects, including the health care workers, and associated health care professionals to provide continuity of quality care and services for the seniors living at the residential care facility. The three quality assurance systems that evaluate residential care facilities are;

"The problem is that students may well experience such interventions as annoying increases in pressure that only serve to create anxiety and inhibit learning even more." (Brookfield, 2015)
To my understanding, when someone is under pressure they have difficulties focusing. I am sure at some point we have heard this said in similar context. We may have even felt and spoken about similar feelings about being pressured and not feeling good about the pressure. What intrigued me about this quote is that even though we know there is truth behind this quote, as well there are psychology theories and science to prove that pressure tactics increase areas of the brain to shut off. There is physical evidence in the brain that display stress.
Last year I attended a networking event for entrepreneurs. There were a few key speakers, but one key speaker stood out to me the most. Neil Pasrich – author of Book of Awesome, based on his 50-million hit an award-winning blog, and The Happiness Equation, an accessible research-based guide to developing happiness. Retrieved from https://allianceconference.ca/speakersinfo
Neil Pasrich spoke about stress, and how if affects the brain, then further how that reaction can alter our mood and decrease our ability to be happy. A few weeks prior to this event I watched a YouTube video on "flow state" mixed martial arts techniques by MindSmash – the video is a motivational video on how a fighter can stay confident, calm, stay in the moment which helps to stay focused under pressure – this is called the flow state – an optimum state of mind. This theory has been reiterated by my MMA Sensei, confirming stress affects the brain.
How does stress affect the brain?
Retrieved from http://functionalcranialrelease.com/2011/11/the-frontal-and-pre-frontal-cortex-stress-and-brain-health-what-is-one-to-do/
When a person is under stress the Pre-Frontal Lobe or Pre-Frontal Cortex – which helps with planning complex cognitive behaviors is affected. As well, the Frontal Lobe handles decision making, complex actions and thoughts, cognitive memory and filtering reactions. (John Lieurance, 2011). When under stress the Frontal Lobe disconnects therefore can result in anxiety and poor decision making.
The review in the Scientific American suggests when under great stress the brain can accidentally flick from its higher cognitive functions to primal reactions as it assumes we need to react instinctively to save ourselves.

The evidence provided in my reflective writing supports that the learner's brain is affected under pressure, which can cause stress and anxiety, including bad decision making and the ability to focus. Providing a safe and positive environment for the learner to process information, and creating a positive learning journey for the learner is my responsibility as an educator to implement. As well, recognizing what the learners is capable off, and knowing how to define what is a challenge versus putting the pressure on.
As Brookfield explained "Many times students reach a certain point in learning that has taken a lot of energy and determination. A that moment there is a real need for them to regroup before moving on." As an educator in my professional practice the following strategies I would implement;
Overall, it is much more rewarding to know that the learner's journey is a pleasant one, and creating positive learning outcomes would motivate learner to continue learning.

Most learners participate in learning processes by starting off enthusiastic and engaged if they chose to do the course. There are incidents where learners do not choose to take the course, and are resistance to learning. As well, the learners who are engaged may also become resistant to learning during the course for various reasons. As Brookfield wrote;
Resistance is a multilayered and complex phenomenon in which several factors intersect. (Brookfield, 2015)
Listed are reasons why a learner can become resistance to learning;
Further, from Brookfield's PowerPoint Presentation "Getting Students to Participate" Retrieved from http://www.stephenbrookfield.com/workshop/
Students were asked – What stops you from participating in a class, professional development session or meeting?
Student's answers;
Understanding that there are various reasons for resistance to learning is the start of peeling of the multilayered and complex phenomenon to be able to support the learning process. As an educator it would be in our nature to try to engage the learner to adapt to liking the concept of learning, however prior to delivering techniques and strategies, understanding who the adult learner is critical for the learner's engagement.

Diverse groups are groups of individuals that are different from each other. From http://www.qcc.cuny.edu the definition of diversity is; differences in racial and ethnic, socioeconomic, geographic, and academic/professional backgrounds.

Canada is a multicultural country in which immigrants are welcomed to settle and live in Canada. Racial diversity is apart of the Canadian culture, and Canada has no political view against the growth of diversity in our country. We are all in some form knowledgeable or educated about different cultures, and how to support the cultures in our society. This just didn't happen; having political leadership with openness to providing resources, support, funding and education in this area has developed our Country has one of the most increased acceptance of racial diversity. Therefore, it is compassionate to formulate an understanding about learners of a diverse racial group.

Brookfield (1995), suggests understanding the diverse learner, he also suggest adapting teaching styles, deliver team teaching, apply best instructional techniques for the diverse racial groups and use the CIQ for feedback. The use of visual or oral communication supports the learning experience for the diverse racial group, as well as changing up the groups to either separate the diverse racial group or place them together.

Scholarship examinations need proper preparation if students are to perform at their best and so we have personalised tutoring in Melbourne with specialised teachers.
To this end, there is great value in personal tutoring, whether it be done by parents themselves or by our professional tutors in Melbourne. The aim should be to ensure that the students perform at their best, ie that they do justice to their abilities. Too often lack of preparation for scholarship tests, not lack of intelligence or knowledge, can make the difference between success and failure.
Preparing for scholarship exams is a matter of fine-tuning the individual student, certainly not trying to cram many weeks of Maths or English tutoring or general knowledge into a 2 or 3 week period.
Some students quite simply are never going to win scholarships. The pressure that parents – and sometimes teachers – place on any student preparing for a scholarship exam can result in poor health and loss of sleep, thus giving the student no chance at all.
Remember that scholarship exams call for abilities and skills that cannot be developed by routine learning from text books. Students need to think about what they have learnt and use it to deal with new situations. Then arrive at a solution. This ability must be developed over a period of time.
Preparation for a scholarship exam should commence at least a month before exam day. There is too much to cover satisfactorily in a shorter period.
Tutoring typically covers such areas as:
- exam technique including the very important skill of time management,
- problem solving,
- comprehension, and
- essay planning and imaginative and descriptive writing.
It is not simply a matter though of developing these abilities. Just as importantly, tutoring must build the student's confidence in his/her own abilities, and that is never wasted.
Private tutoring in Melbourne that excels in scholarship preparation is a rare and specialised talent. These tutors have the ability to encourage the already bright student to understand – and enjoy – the experience of succeeding in the exam situation.
Over many years, Consolidated has tutored many students in scholarship preparation, and has been delighted – as indeed were the parents and students – with the success rate of those students for whom we organised tutoring. Our specialist tutors have the right experience to help students prepare for scholarship tests.
So, contact Consolidated Coaching Colleges to talk over scholarship exam preparation. Our specialist tutors will be able to build your student's abilities and confidence so that he or she does their best in the exam. Our tutors understand the techniques and the extremely high standards required. In Melbourne we have specialised maths tutors, teachers expert in English tutoring and also teachers who are experienced for all other subjects common for scholarship exams.
Finally, do not leave it to the last moment to arrange scholarship tutoring – the very best tutors are always those who most quickly become fully booked.
So, if the scholarship tutors we use in your Melbourne suburb are already fully booked, we would rather say we cannot help you than provide you with an inexperienced tutor.

What a difference a year has made for human relations within the Howard County school system.
Just a summer ago, the Maryland Commission on Human Rights issued a report that criticized the Howard system's "head in the sand" reaction to hate-bias cases. The most publicized of the incidents involved a Klansman handing out literature at a county elementary school; a black girl getting sprayed with disinfectant by a white boy on a school bus, and swastikas being painted on school buildings.
No better illustration of the system's lax attitude was there than a statement made in the spring of 1992 by the schools' outgoing director of human relations. Upon her retirement after 17 years in the job, she proclaimed Howard schools were free of hate-bias incidents. Her remarks weren't exactly supported by county police, who were reporting at the time that the number of such incidents was increasing.

handheld digital SMD tester is a handy tools for quickly measuring surface mount component values. Unlike the old
days of huge resistors, capacitors, and inductors that had plenty of space on their packages for markings, the grain-of-salt-size
devices on modern day circuit boards defy identification once removed from their shipping containers. The added
expense of laser marking makes doing so for every component highly impractical. If you have ever tried to use a
standard set of multimeter probes to measure even a 1206 size resistor, then you know what a pain it can be, and
then being sure that enough pressure is applied to the package contacts leaves you doubting the reading.
Fortunately, there are a few companies that are making these tweezer type multimeters that combines the process
of securely grasping the device under test and applying the test probes. Even handier is a built-in LCD readout.

This beautiful beautiful Black Tie themed wedding reception that took place at Hilton KL was mostly BIL's hard work. I seldom hear men handling weddings, they usually leave them to their moms and sisters. My BIL was truly an exception *bows to him*, he had everything planned well and even prepared a few surprises for his wife and now, I shall again let these magnificent pictures do the speaking for me.
Photographer: Daniel Zain Photography. Thank you Daniel. Instagram – @danielzain
So creative!
Beautiful piece Innai Red!
Chris wearing Scottish traditional highland dress with much pride and Andrii looking smart in tux while BIL looking fresh in his.. robe.
Got everyone's attention, not a nano doubt.
Shirt on now, good start there.
Most eligible bachelors.
Okay fine, one selfie with BIL.
Kak Liza's touch. Follow @lizasaliza on Instagram. Skillful make up artist.
Goddess beauty.
Exquisite, BIL.
Looks familiar doesn't it? Shortbread by Shortbread House of Edinburgh. Chris' family runs the business *drools* and how kind of Chris to sponsor these as wedding favours.

Awesome awesome surprise. The lights in the ballroom suddenly turned off and the emcee closed the event by ushering everyone to leave the ballroom and then guess what greeted us all.
Too brilliant.
He kept the surprises from everyone and especially from the person he wanted to surprise most and only his family knew about this. Every element was very well done BIL *thumbs up*.
I think my selfie picture already implied the continuation of Part 4. Yes, my dad – the problem solver, made me come home to make everyone (mama, kakak and myself too) happy. It was a challenging life for me I got to admit. I arrived in Malaysia on the 10th morning and 11th night was the reception and I took the 12th morning flight and got into Bristol safe and sound on 12th night. 13th was my final paper and alhamdulillah, I got an A and a B for both the papers. Those on flight studying did work with the help of my loved ones in Malaysia and in UK. And the cabin crew too for feeding me well (at one point, I got so shy to enter the plane because I knew I would be with the same crew hehe). But if I may say, never in my life that I felt so knackered. I didnt share my pictures in this post because I simply looked horrible that night. One of my cousins saw me from afar as I walked behind my sister and asked the other cousin 'what happened to yaya' and one of my aunties pulled me to the side and told me 'you look so tired'. I was but I was also happy that I made it. I could witness and attend to my mom's request to be there and also be my sister's maid of honour on her big day. And really, I think that was all that mattered. Thank you papa for the idea and on top of everything, thank you God.
Now to this couple,
It has now been almost a year that you've been married to each other and your families are happy to see you doing well. Disagreements and arguments will not pass but it's how you handle them that are key to harmony. We feel blessed that your hubby doesn't take you away from us kakak. We still feel you're always around and it's thanks to the coolest and easy going son in law/brother in law.
May it forever remain that way, May Allah always keep your marriage safe and best wishes from us.

Indonesia on Thursday (Friday local time) executed three Nigerians and one local convicted of drug trafficking.
According to Yahoo, Noor Rachmad, Deputy Attorney General for general crimes, told reporters that they were shot by firing squad at the Nusa Kambangan penal island shortly after midnight (Indonesian time) amid pouring rain.
"The executions were for now conducted on four convicts on death row.
This is not a fun job. For us, this is really a sad job because it involves people's lives.
This was done not in order to take lives but to stop evil intentions, and the evil act of drug trafficking," Rachmad said.
The attorney general's office had said late Wednesday that 14 convicts would be executed "soon."
The Community Legal Aid Institute, which advocates for the convicts, said "those facing execution are six Nigerians, four Indonesians, two Zimbabweans, one Indian and one Pakistani."
Indonesia's Foreign Ministry spokesman, Arrmanatha Nasir, said the convicts had been given their rights according to the laws.
He insisted that the death penalty being applied in Indonesia was not against international law.
Nasir said those sentenced to death went through a legal process and that they were big traffickers, not users.
He pointed out that 121 people were on death row in Indonesia, including 35 foreigners, mainly for drug-related crimes.
Nasir said the president had taken tough stance against drug trafficking since his election in 2014, adding that the country was facing drug emergency.
The lawyer of Pakistani convict, Saut Rajagukguk said it was not clear if his client, Zulfikar Ali was spared because of a last-minute appeal or whether his execution had been postponed because of rain.
The executions were the third set carried out since President Joko Widodo took office in October 2014.
Widodo refused appeals for clemency from relatives of the convicts and ignored calls for a halt to the executions from rights groups and the United Nations.

The Supreme Court in United States History
By: Charles Warren
Little, Brown, & Company, 1923
Wow. This book was every bit as exciting as one would imagine it to be. (Because I know sarcasm doesn't work so well in the written, or typed, word - that last sentence was entirely sarcastic.) The Supreme Court in United States History starts with the very beginning of the Supreme Court in 1781 and moves forward through every minor event in the history of that high court. While Warren did what he could to make this book readable for the layman, he didn't have much of a chance to make it fascinating.
Warren's book does provide a vast amount of factual information and would, therefore, be a great research tool. It gives so many details about the formation of the Supreme Court and how, over the years, they have toiled to work out the kinks so that justice is fully administered. This book was the first one where I noticed a reference back to one of the other Pulitzer books I've read (specifically Albert Beveridge's The Life of John Marshall). I must admit that I dreaded reading this book and while I did pick up a few facts that I will hopefully remember, I am quite relieved to be done and move on!

i can't wait until you get to the book 1776. i've been wanting to read it, but i'm waiting for you to sum it up first:) you're funny.
- AK said...
I can't wait to read 1776 either, but it could be several years till I get there (like 15) since I'm going in order from the beginning. But, I do occasionally skip ahead if I want to listen to a book on CD or something. Maybe I'll listen to it on our next long car ride. I'll definitely let you know how it goes...

These provide an interface between the program and memory, freeing the program of memory management details which are left to the data structures to implement. The main result presented herein is that GP can automatically generate stacks and queues. Typically abstract data structures support multiple operations, such as put and get. We show that GP can simultaneously evolve all the operations of a data structure by implementing each such operation with its own independent program tree. That is, the chromosome consists of a fixed number of independent program trees. Moreover, crossover only mixes genetic material of program trees that implement the same operation. Program trees interact with each other only via shared memory and shared ``Automatically Defined Functions'' (ADFs). ADFs, ``pass by reference'' when calling them, Pareto selection, ``good software engineering practice'' and partitioning the genetic population into ``demes'' where also investigated whilst evolving the queue in order to improve the GP solutions.", notes = "Discussed on GP mailing list 6--13 Jan 95, subj: GPdata. object-oriented, OO class.

Who would have thought that England's best preparation for this test was playing all those matches against Bangladesh?
I had the displeasure of watching England smash a lifeless Bangladesh around for what seemed like 7 consecutive summers, at the time I thought it would do England little good. How wrong I was.
It was this effortless batting that kept them sharp when their batsmen would have to bat for hours on end against an Australian attack that seems to be aspiring to Bangladesh style work.
Imagine if all their warm ups were against Pakistan, England wouldn't have known how to handle batting for a whole day without losing a wicket, this would totally confuse them.
Australia have just played India, so they are also used to bowling for hours on end without a wicket.
Also, it got them used to playing in front of a hostile crowd, which might come in handy for the rest of the series.

I am using (Sage ACT! Pro 2012 Version 22.214.171.124 English (United States)) as a trial and i can not enter the monetary value of my opportunities as i am unable to enter,create or Add a new product either directly in the product add box or via the define fields menu.
Is this a trial version restriction ?
I keep getting the following errors:
In the dialog box there is a red icon and when i point on it : [ Value is not a decimal number]
and when i click OK
[one or more errors have been detected.Place your mouse on the red indicator to display the error message.]
How can this be overcome if it is not a trial restriction?????
PLEASE assist.
Many thanks
1) In South african versions of Windows 7, the program uses the comma as a decimal character and in America you use the Decimal point or vice versa. To rectify the settings for Amercan programs do the following:
2) Control Panel>Regional and Language> Enlish United States MUST be chosen (Not English South Africa)
3) click on Additional settings and where it asks for the DECIMAL SYMBOL> select / highlight the symbol in the box and type a decimal point in the box> click apply> exit and reboot your PC.
Thank you for the effort given
PS: Quickbooks have the same issues in South Africa.
Best Regards
Greig Hollister
Note: Effective 6/1/13, Sage no longers provides support for the Act! software. This is now provided by Swiftpage.
Hi Greig,
I have checked everything you have noted, even checked the settings on the modifications area for products.
I can not find anything wrong, This is really ticking my watch the wrong way.
What do i do now,
They say insanity is when someone tries to do the same thing over and over, but expect a differant result every time!
This is how i feel, i really want to use this software but right now everyday i sit a play with the settings that do not alter the outcome means i get further and further behind on my contact management.
Can i download a differant trial version and install it over this one, BUT i need to keep all the info in the database, I do not want to loose all the hours i have put in so far.
It is only the fact that when I click on "Add" on the Product tab in the opportunity section that i can do the following:
Add / edit the list item and put in a new product, no issues.
As soon as i choose it from the drop down list it brings the correct price into the Selection box.
Immediately the first red icon comes up at the Total box.
As soon as i choose the quantity all the remainding boxes get red icons.
Then i select type of product,
I click "OK" and then get the error message telling me to point my mouse over the red icon and see what is wrong,
When i click "OK" i am then returned to the enrty box with the red icons next to all the boxes.
All i can do now is click "Cancel" and the box goes away.
All i can do is leave all my opportunities with a zero figure as i can not load any sales figures.
Please get me some help on this issue!
For the rest the program works wonders, only i have no idea what my pipeline value is, just how many opportunities i have.
Sorry for being a pain in ass, I just want to get this thing sorted.
Thank you & Best regards
Just a thought :
My software installed on the C drive but i have my database on my D Drive. Could this affect anything? everything else works like a charm except the product add function on the opportunity side.
The location of the database should not affect this type of function.
Are you using the ACT! Demo database, or did you create a new database?
- If you are using a new database, have you made any customizations to the Opportunity fields?
Try opening the ACT! Demo database and testing the Opportunity functions within it. Does it exhibit the same problem?
Note: Username for demo is 'Chris Huffman', no password.
- If you are testing in the Demo, create a new database (File > New Database) and test the functions within it.
Hi Martin,
I tested the Demo database with no customizations to it : Same result
created a new database with no customizations to it : Same result
I just select the product, nothing else yet, then it starts to flag red icons for me.
I hope this is not to much of a toffee, I really need this to work
I've been unable to reproduce this issue. What regional version of Windows is installed? When creating the new database, do you recall which currency was selected?
This may be a conflict with regional settings, to further test:
Create a new contact field through the Tools > Define Fields option. Create a new field of type 'Currency'. Clicking on Finish/Close you will be prompted to add it to the layout... add it to the layout. With this field added to the contact layout, are there any issues with this field? Does it display the red icon/flag?
Here is an article with more in-depth instructions about creating fields: KB Article 15335
Hi Greg,
Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit
Currency = Rands ( I did think of this as well and tested by creating a new database using $ but exact same issue in a new database in a new folder even after reinstalling the software from scratch.
Tried your advise on creating a new field:
Made them Characters and only the total Value i made a decimal.
The decimal part is flagged red even before i start typing.
Obviously this trial has something wrong,
1) Please tell me where i can get a new copy that works
2) All this time i am losing on my trial, Where do i get that back now as well?
Sorry Greg, my tether is now starting to unravel at a tremendous speed,
I have deadlines to meet and this is not helping.
Please give me software system that works.
Hope the pics help
See your Private Notes for a different download link.
If the uninstall/reinstall with the new file does not work, I would think it related to regional settings.
1) In South african versions of Windows 7, the program uses the comma as a decimal character and in America you use the Decimal point or vice versa. To rectify the settings for Amercan programs do the following:
2) Control Panel>Regional and Language> Enlish United States MUST be chosen (Not English South Africa)
3) click on Additional settings and where it asks for the DECIMAL SYMBOL> select / highlight the symbol in the box and type a decimal point in the box> click apply> exit and reboot your PC.

Proper Open Source compliance gives you the ability to honor the obligations of open source licenses while protecting your own Intellectual Property (IP), as well as that of 3rd party software providers, from unintended disclosure. Companies that use open source software in their products should establish such a program to ensure compliance with all open source licenses. Basic elements of a compliance program include: policies, processes, guidelines, training, and automated source code audits. Compliance activities must be carefully planned and monitored to assure that objectives are met in a timely manner.
There are three fundamental steps that comprise the core of a Free & Open Source Software (FOSS) compliance process:
- Identifying any open source software contained in an externally distributed product
- Reviewing and approving the intended use of FOSS
- Satisfying FOSS license obligations
Figure 1: The three fundamental steps that comprise the core of an open source compliance process
In this blog post, I'll discuss a 7-step system you can use to improve and strengthen your open source compliance program:
- Assign an open source compliance officer
- Set up an Open Source Review Board (OSRB)
- Set up an automated system to identify open source software in your code base
- Get your software suppliers to comply with open source licenses
- Scale open source legal support to your development teams
- Include open source compliance checkpoints as part of business and development processes
- Provide checklists for the various open source compliance tasks
Step 1: Assign a Dedicated Open Source Compliance Manager
The compliance officer manages the overall compliance program. This person drives compliance due diligence, end-to-end process, and acts as the compliance program manager to ensure all compliance-related tasks are resolved and there are no compliance issues blocking product shipment.
The open source compliance officer must have the following expertise:
- Solid understanding of open source licenses and obligations to discuss with legal counsels
- Knowledge of open source development and compliance industry best practices
- Knowledge and experience in establishing corporate wide programs, policies, and processes
- Technical knowledge in order to be capable of conversing with engineers
- Contacts in the open source organizations and communities that could be called upon for clarification and support when needed
Step 2: Set up an Open Source Review Board
The open source review board consists of representatives from legal and product teams, in addition to the compliance officer. The primary duty of the OSRB is to review and approve the planned use of open source software in products.
Table 1 provides a detailed view of the responsibilities of each participant in the OSRB.
Table 1: Primary responsibilities of the core compliance team
Outside of the OSRB members, there are several individuals that contribute to the open source compliance effort. Figure 2 presents the individuals and teams responsible for achieving FOSS compliance.
Figure 2: Individuals and teams responsible for achieving open source compliance
Step 3: Identify Open Source Software in Your Code
The core of any open source compliance effort is to identify open source code and its respective licenses so you meet all license obligations. This core activity is guided by an open source policy and a process. Compliance policies and processes govern the various aspects of using, contributing, auditing, and distributing open source software. The policy is a set of rules for the use and management of open source software in the organization. The process describes how the organization will implement these rules on a daily basis.
Here is a short example of an open source compliance policy:
We must ensure that all of 's incoming software (in house, 3rd party commercial, open source, etc.) is compliant with the license it is provided under by following the open source compliance process defined in .
Figure 3 is an example of an end-to-end compliance process that includes the various steps a software component goes through before the OSRB approves its acceptance in the build system and integration with the software product.
Figure 3: Sample open source compliance process
Step 4: Get Software Providers Involved
It is crucial to get your software providers involved in the open source compliance process. Software providers must disclose any open source code included in the products they deliver to you, and they must offer everything you'll need to meet license obligations once these deliverables are included in your own product.
It is common to require software providers to disclose the following information related to open source software:
- Package name
- Version number
- Original download URL
- License and License URL
- Last Modified Date
- Dependency List
- Development team's point of contact
- Availability of source code
Different organizations require various disclosures, but the list above is a good starting point. In addition to this list, it is very desirable for software providers to report license information for FOSS using the Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) format, especially if their clients have already adopted SPDX.
Step 5: Offer Easily Accessible Legal Support
It is often the case that open source legal support is a bottleneck in a company, as you might have hundreds, or even thousands of developers writing open source code, but very few legal staff responsible for providing the needed legal support. Scaling open source legal support requires some out-of-the-box thinking and it can be achieved via four practical methods:
License Playbooks
An easy-to-read and digest summary of FOSS licenses intended for software developers. This provide easy-to-understand information about FOSS licenses, such as license grants, restrictions, obligations, patent implications, and more. The availability of such playbooks for the most-used FOSS licenses minimizes the number of basic questions sent to legal counsels and provides developers with immediate legal information.
License compatibility matrix
License compatibility is determining if a certain license has compatible terms with another license. When something is said to have "GPL compatibility," it states that a certain license has compatible terms with the GPL. The license compatibility problem is often encountered when combining source code originating from different software components licensed under incompatible licenses, which makes it impossible to combine the source code to create a new component.
When the development team combines incoming code under different licenses, they can refer to the license compatibility matrix to verify if there is a licensing conflict created by combining the source code into a single software component. If a license is used and it is not covered in the matrix, it can be added by the legal counsel that advises on open source licensing.
License classification
An easy way to understand the difference between licenses and the course of action needed when using source code provided under these licenses.
Software interaction methods
A guide to understanding how software components available under different licenses interact and if the method of interaction is allowed according to company compliance policies.
Step 6: Inject Compliance Activities into Everyday Development Processes
To ensure the success of your open source compliance effort, incorporating compliance practices into business and development processes is a must. To achieve this, you can:
- Modify existing business processes to incorporate open source compliance activities and considerations
- Tailor software supplier selection procedures to assure that open source compliance requirements are considered when performing due diligence on suppliers
- Update process management to ensure that compliance activities are included early enough in the product development cycle to enable the organization to meet its release time-lines
- Use late-cycle verification steps to assure that all compliance requirements have been met before external distribution occurs
- Provide open source compliance training to individuals charged with managing business processes
- Provide license information in SDPX format that includes reporting license names using the SPDX common naming system
Step 7: Develop and Use Checklists
Checklists are extremely useful tools to ensure consistency and completeness in carrying out compliance tasks. It is highly recommended to establish a checklist for most compliance milestones as well as targeted checklists based on staff responsibilities. Examples of checklist include:
- To approve the integration of incoming code into the product's source code repository
- To ensure the fulfillment of obligations from developers, engineer managers, compliance staff, and open source legal staff
The following is an example of a checklist that can be used before posting source code packages on a web site as part of fulfilling open source license obligations:
- All source code components have a corresponding compliance ticket
- All compliance tickets have been approved by engineering and legal
- All compliance tickets are clear from any sub-tasks attached to them
- Notices for all of the software components have been sent to Documentation team and included in product documentation (including written offer)
- Legal has approved the written offer notice and overall compliance documentation
- Source code packages have been prepared and tested to compile on a standard development machine
- Source code provided is complete and corresponds to the binaries in the product
Open Source Compliance and the Software Supply Chain
The first time I was introduced to open source compliance was over a decade ago while I was a system engineer at Ericsson Research. Since then, compliance practices have improved dramatically and I've learned a lot. Open source compliance today is a far different problem than what it was 15 years ago, and today it is more about scaling, automation, and building trust within the software supply chain. Stay tuned to this site to learn more about open source compliance in future posts.

How long have you been doing photography? What style or genre most interests you? I have been photographing for 9 years, both working for international magazines and newspapers and doing my personal projects. I mostly work in post-Soviet countries, focusing on people's life, social issues, environment and human rights.
Can you give us a short description of your city? Beslan, North Ossetia is a small town in the North Caucasus.
What are some things that only locals would know about the city? In 2004, hostages were taken at School No. 1 in Beslan, North Ossetia, on the morning of Sept. 1, during a ceremony held to inaugurate the new academic year. The whole world followed the news from this small city in the North Caucasus.
For two and a half days, the terrorists held more than 1,100 people-including children, their parents and school staff-in a building filled with explosives. At least 334 hostages were killed as a result of the crisis, including 186 children, with a significant number of people injured and reported missing.

Since 1995, the annual festival in the Wacker Factory attracts large numbers of visitors during the first two September weekends. Over the last 10 years, Wacker Stage has been presenting exciting performances – select productions from the independent scene covering dance, performance, theatre, object and children's theatre.
The ambitious programme is the result of the dedication of the Wacker Stage members and their contacts to national and international artists. More than this, their efforts ensure that the performances are staged in attractive surroundings – despite the meagre support from public authorities. The Wacker Theatre Days have been held in the Wacker Gallery since 1998.

Working hard or working class? : Neoliberalism and working-class representation in contemporary television
Metadata[+] Show full item record
Neoliberalism, an economic philosophy that promotes principles of the free market and private, individual responsibility, has become a pervasive way to organize cultural and political life. This study used neoliberalism as a framework to investigate television's representation of the working-class in contemporary American society by analyzing current working-class programs The Middle, Raising Hope, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, and Duck Dynasty, and by interviewing audiences of these shows. The textual analysis of my study revealed, first, that working-class identity is a complex concept that takes into account not only socioeconomic variables (e.g., income, occupation, and education), but also the culture of individuals. Each text's representation of the principles of neoliberal capitalism influences the portrayal of the families' working-class identities. The audience portion of my study investigated how audiences employed these representations to understand working-class identity in their own lives and in broader culture. Participants applied many of the same neoliberal tenets represented in the textual analysis to characters in a broad spectrum of domestic sitcoms and reality programs. In the programs about which they spoke, they valued hard work, individual achievement, and suggested that engaging in risky decision-making often justified the negative consequences that followed. Participants used the representations of working-class characters as comparisons to individuals they knew in their lives.

Over the past few years, fat biking has gone from being an obscure offshoot of cycling to become one of the hottest trends in outdoor adventure sports. For those unfamiliar with the term, fat biking involves riding a bike with very large, oversized tires that have the ability to easily roll over sand, snow, and other surfaces that would typically be impassable to normal bikes. This has naturally made it appealing to people who want to ride all year round or take their bikes to places that were generally inaccessible in the past.
The origin of fat biking can be traced back to places where snow covers the roads and trails for extended periods of the year, making it difficult to ride a normal bike. But the massive tires of a fat bike generally do very well in those conditions, so naturally, it is a great way to ride in those kinds of places. If you're looking for amazing destinations to explore from the seat of a fat bike, we have some suggestions for places where you can do just that. Just be sure to dress warmly and pack your sense of adventure. You're going to need it.
01 of 05
Kingdom Trails Nordic Adventure Center (Vermont)
Everyone knows Vermont is a great winter sports destination, with plenty of opportunities to go skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling throughout the entire season. But the state is also a burgeoning winter fat bike haven too, with plenty of trails open to riders. For instance, the Kingdom Trails Association maintains more than 18 miles of trail just for use by fat bikers and snowshoers all season long, with some of its most scenic routes set aide for riders. The trails are clearly marked, and easy to follow, with designations that indicate what level of experience is recommended as well.
02 of 05
Cuyuna Lakes (Minnesota)
With more than 40 miles of trails (20 of which are groomed) open to the public, the Cayuna Lakes State Recreation Area in Minnesota is quickly developing into one of the best fat bike destinations in the U.S. The park has been specifically developed by the state government to provide outdoor recreation opportunities during the winter months, and as a result fat bikers are treated to some very scenic trails that are maintained all season long. The park is just one of six destinations throughout the state that are open for winter riding, making Minnesota a premiere destination for winter fat biking in general.
03 of 05
Grand Targhee Resort (Wyoming)
Grand Targee Resort in Wyoming was one of the first resorts to actually embrace the fat bike trend and welcome riders to its groomed Nordic trails, which now stretch for nearly 10 miles through spectacular backcountry. Routes range from wide, open trails that are relatively easy to cut your teeth on, to more technical single track that requires a bit more skill and experience. The resort will even allow riders to take their bikes out at night, exploring the winter wonderland in a completely unique and unusual way.
04 of 05
Crested Butte (Colorado)
Well known as an epic mountain biking destination during the warmer months of the year, Crested Butte, Colorado is also growing into an amazing place to ride a fat bike during the winter too. The region has miles of open trails to explore, including some that are groomed and easily accessible right from town. Others, will take riders deep into the backcountry, where they'll find some of the most spectacular scenery that Colorado has to offer. The town even plays host to the Borealis Fat Bike World Championships, bringing the best riders in the world together in one place.Continue to 5 of 5 below.
05 of 05
Mont Sainte Anne (Quebec, Canada)
Want to expand your fat biking riding to an international level? Quebec is an epic outdoor winter playground that is also quickly becoming one of the best destinations in the world to ride as well. Tops on the list is Mont-Sainte-Anne, a resort that offers every kind of winter activity imaginable, including fat biking. With more than 16 miles of trail to explore – many of which are fat bike only – it is a virtual paradise for riders. You'll find everything from smooth, groomed routes to cross-country mountain bike trails to test your skills on. Season passes can be had for $79, while day passes are a very affordable $12.
These destinations are a sample of great places to ride a fat bike during the winter. As the sport continues to grow in popularity, expect many more places to follow suite. In the meantime, get on your bike and ride!

These days, it seems like every couple is upping the ante with their pregnancy announcements. From creative signs, to involving the soon-to-be big siblings, and even getting celebrities like Will Smith and Paul Rudd to celebrate, revealing to the world that you're expecting is a huge deal. And one couple may have just won the entire game when they included Vanilla Ice in their pregnancy announcement.
Word to your mother!
Fabulous, no? Who wouldn't want some star to help them out with one of the biggest announcements they'll ever make?

Once again, iZombie managed to impress me with a coherent plot and an overall bearable episode. Aside from a few nitpicks here and there, I only had one major issue with the entire episode, but it didn't take away from the experience. "Astroburger" kept me interested the whole time, and I'm very curious to see how it leads into next week's episodes, as well as the season finale, which airs in just two weeks. (major spoilers ahead!)
Remember last episode when Major made friends with that Scott dude in the mental hospital who revealed the case of zombie-ism in Seattle? Guess who ends up dead this week? Yep, in an apparent case of suicide, Scott kicks the bucket, setting the plot for "Astroburger" in motion. I was a little disturbed at the overall situation regarding Scott; something about seeing his slit wrists sent chills down my spine and made me very uncomfortable. I think it's because it's one of the darker deaths in the entire series so far. They also did a great job with the makeup and effects to portray the scenario.
Liv finds that eating Scott's brain causes her to have weird hallucinations and mental episodes. This part confused me a bit: I didn't know Scott actually had mental issues. I thought he was just in the facility because he was in the same position as Major: he thought he was seeing things, but it ended up being true. So you mean to tell me that Scott really WAS suffering from some type of mental illness? Then why is his obsession with the Seattle zombie cases so coherent and stable? It's like the plot conveniently lets that one aspect of the character stay sane for the sake of helping Liv in her case.
It takes more than Liv's hallucinations to solve this case. She's joined by returning character Johnny Frost, the weatherman from what I think was the first episode of the series. I honestly can't tell where he made an earlier appearance – it's hard for me to remember and I really don't want to suffer through the beginning of the season again just to find him. All I know is that Frost is incredibly annoying in the way he talks. The overacting is unbearable. It's like he's a game-show host on speed. Granted, that may be intentional since he's known for being such an animated character on TV, but there's a point when it just needs to stop.
Throughout the episode, some major things happen in Liv's life, mostly concerning Major. Not only has Major checked himself out of the mental facility, but he also plants a kiss on Liv, possibly reigniting their relationship. On top of that, Liv finally admits she's a zombie to Major. You know how Major reacts? A hug. Yes, a hug. Liv was so worried about how he'd react and it turns out that he's okay with it.
Except not really.
I applaud this episode's twist because it legitimately made my jaw drop. As it turns out, Liv was having hallucinations about most of the things that were going on the entire episode. Johnny Frost was never with her. He just showed up randomly as a figment of her imagination to provide convenient clues to assist Liv in her detective work. In addition to this, most of that stuff with Major probably never happened. While I was impressed with the twist, it left me baffled to the very end. What part of the episode actually happened and what was just part of Scott's brain side-effects? I'm sure they'll reveal more on it next episode, but I'm a little frustrated at having the rug pulled out from under me. It's okay if we found out Johnny Frost was entirely hallucination; however, I wish the Major stuff actually happened.
With all the other shows done for the season, I'll probably be able to dedicate more of my time to TRYING to enjoy iZombie. A lot of people seem to like it, and I understand I'm just a black sheep who can't get into the show. Maybe the last two episodes will convert me and turn me into a believer? If they're on the same level as (or better than) "Astroburger", then it's a strong possibility!
Final Grade: B –
+ All of the actors (aside from the weatherman) did a great job.
+ The show took an interesting take on Scott's hallucinations and mental illness.
+ The plot itself actually made sense (for the most part).
– So… what part of the episode actually happened and what didn't?
– The weatherman annoyed the living hell out of me.
Extra Thoughts:
– I don't think the season can end without one major death. I want to say Major is next to go, but Liv already lost one love interest. Blaine is definitely a goner, and maybe one of Liv's family members?
What did you think of the latest episode of iZombie? Are you just as confused as I am as to what really happened? Let us know your thoughts in the comments or on Twitter!

[…] Jacob Share, a friend and colleague, has a great post about searching for jobs during the holidays: Holiday Weekend Job Search Do's and Don'ts […]Reply
Business cards are a good idea but I would suggest to spend a few extra dollars to get a quality card. I know $ are often tight for people who are job searching but it doesn't cost a lot to upgrade the quality of the card.
In my opinion, you lose points if your business card is on cheap paper and looks like you just printed it you old dot matrix printer (okay, I exaggerate)
Another suggestion I would add is to follow up with a professional / personalized follow-up/Thank You card.
I use Pixingo (ask me if you want to know more) but sendoutcards is another option. For about a $1 you'll stand out and make a lasting impression.
Good luck,
Absolutely, that extra $ is $ well-spent, as I said here: https://jobmob.co.il/blog/job-search-business-cards/
Good tip about followup/thank you cards. Thanks for thatReply
