How much time have you wasted looking for that email containing vital information to help you make strategic decisions on your project? Sometimes relying on the built-in notification system in JIRA or JIRA Service Desk just does not cut it. That lost time could have been better spent working on other project-related matters.
Using a custom notification solution with JIRA can alleviate some of the challenges faced when meeting the demands of your project. Make the most of your project communications, so they don’t turn out to be time wasters. Making communication clearer and more structured can minimize notification challenges.
Here are five benefits you obtain from implementing a custom notification solution with JIRA.
The team just finished their meeting reviewing and updating the open JIRAs. Your inbox is inundated with many notifications. You start opening one right after the other to review the updates. You wonder why can’t they just be consolidated into one email.
Or you are an IT manager. How nice would be to receive a digested summary of the changes you care about, with the granularity that you need, from all the JIRA projects on Monday morning.
Sounds familiar? The number of JIRA notifications received after a meeting can be overwhelming. Consolidating them reduces the number of emails hitting your inbox. The result is less clutter, saves you time from going through them and increases your productivity.
Sometimes, there’re a few issues that you want to track because the customer has requested that they are resolved in time for the delivery of the project. You want to make sure that they are updated before the next meeting. Setting a reminder helps you to remain connected with the issue and stay on track of its progress.
Changes or updates made to an issue? New tasks created? Send scheduled digest notifications daily or weekly to your inbox, Slack or HipChat channel. Stay informed and up-to-date with the latest information. Regular notifications will help you make decisions to keep your project on track.
Sometimes customers want to be kept abreast of issues that affect them. Implementing a custom notification solution can help keep them informed and aware of the progress being made with an issue.
Sometimes language is an issue. The implemented solution must be able to support the information in the preferred language of your customers.
Automating notifications to customers is an efficient and effective way to manage and share information. You benefit by not having to follow up from the built-in JIRA notifications manually. This is especially important for those folks who use JIRA Service Desk.
When sending communications to customers, you would like to customize what they receive. You may want to share only specific fields of a notification and insert your corporate logo, so they know the origins of the email. Custom notification solutions allow for these types of configurations as well as localization capabilities and modifications to the layout.
Is there a dependency on your customers to resolve an issue? A custom notification can keep your customer informed of the importance of the issue and the urgency required to address it.
Using a custom notification solution like Raley Email Notifications can fulfill your project communication needs and help you keep informed of the issues that concern you. It can be configured to support your desired layout or which fields you would like to share internally or externally. You don’t need to be a developer to do these configurations. Everything can be done by a JIRA or project administrator.
JIRA is an efficient way to track and manage project activities and resource workloads. An add-on like Raley Emails Notifications can be beneficial for your project and help keep it on track.

Running until 18 November, Tues - Sat 11am to 5pm. Geoff Levitus. "De l'Italie au Vietnam "
Two years of travel from Australia to Vietnam, Cambodia, China, France, Italy, London, New York, and elsewhere, working in each place, sometimes for months, painting and collecting digital imagery, has given Levitus a rich resource of cultural signs with fascinating interconnecting histories.
This exhibition is of work produced mainly in Hanoi in Protected content well as some produced in Italy in Protected content .
Levitus spent a month in Vietnam in Protected content another five months there in Protected content , living and working in Hanoi. He spent 6 months in Italy in Protected content , working mostly in a village near Milan and a short time on the island of Procida, near Naples.
However, this work is not a travelogue. It is both a dialogue on painting , as he uses a number of approaches including collaged digital images, and an exploration of the interconnection, sometimes across cultures, of 'iconic' cultural images.

What really grabs a Nat Geo editor's attention? Our Travel Writing Scholarship Judge, Norie Quintos shares her experience at Nat Geo Travel and her tips on how to get noticed.
What came first, your love for travel or your love for writing?
My first trip was a transatlantic flight from New York to Manila when I was six months old on the iconic Pan Am. By the age of two-and-a-half, I’d made that trip three times. It was the start of a love affair with cultures, languages, and travel. The writing came a little later, in first grade.
How did you get started in the travel writing industry?
In college, I was an African Studies major and was editor of the yearbook. My original grand plan was to work as a diplomat in the State Department or the United Nations.
My first job was as a newsletter editor of a trade publication in Washington, D.C., focused on development and aid.
After that, I covered travel as a reporter and editor at the weekly newsmagazine U.S. News and World Report, which led to an editor job at National Geographic Traveler magazine.
You’re currently a Travel Content Consultant and Editor-at-Large at Nat Geo Travel Media. What’s the best part about your job?
I have had a front-row seat to the cataclysmic changes wrought by digital technology. It’s been quite the roller coaster and I’m lucky to have been able to adapt and reinvent myself for a new journalistic landscape.
The old curated gateways of content have given way to everyone doing content, but the differentiator remains quality and editorial rigor.
I bring that experience and expertise to my role as a travel communicator, working with clients to help surface stories, and tell stories better. And my role as an editor-at-large means I still get to contribute stories and ideas to a trusted and iconic brand I have been associated with for a many years.

Was there an assignment in your career that was particularly memorable? Either the assignment/story itself, or a trip that taught you something about the craft?
I was on assignment to write the cover story for Nat Geo Traveler about Banff, Alberta. My reporting time was short and I had a long list of things to do and see, and people to talk to.
When I got down to writing, I kept thinking how great it would have been to see the bear. I kept struggling with the piece until it dawned on me that not finding was the central metaphor for the story. It actually made for a better story.
The lesson: In life and in writing, don’t try to force it; let the story unfold.
How has travel writing enabled you to connect with locals and their cultures on your travels?
It gives me a reason to enter worlds and cultures different from mine and to ask a lot of probing questions.
And writing is really an exercise in clarifying the thinking process, so it also forces me to dig deeper and think – not just accept the standard explanations for why things are.
At the superficial end, I’ve been able to try a lot of different foods (most of them tasty, by the way) and at the other end I’ve made some lifelong friends in the remotest corners of the world.
What types of stories interest you the most?
When it comes to stories I read, I’m a generalist; I read all sorts of stories, the travel category is just one of them, and it’s not even the biggest.
I love memoirs and historical nonfiction. Two of my favorite reads are Eric Larson’s In the Garden of Beasts, and Candice Millard’s Destiny of the Republic, both true tales that read like fiction.
As for what I like to write, I’m fascinated by stories of journeys of transformation, where metamorphosis is the subtext of a travel yarn.
What trends do you see developing in travel writing?
The trends have to do with how content is being distributed and how busy people are digesting it.
Shorter, fast-paced, and voiced with attitude. If that’s not the way you write, please don’t force it.
I also see a counter trend of solidly-reported, authoritatively voiced long-form reads.
How can an aspiring travel writers take advantage of these trends?
I say forget the trends—except the one that says every writer needs to be their own marketer—and follow your passions.
However, to make a living, it may be necessary to write for a variety of outlets in a variety of voices.
What’s your advice for travel writers who want to get noticed by publishers?
Unfortunately, toiling in the attic and waiting to be discovered never worked for anyone.
Writers have to market themselves, which often goes against the grain for certain creatives, so it takes special effort.
An online presence is a must. Have a good website and a relevant social media feed. Attend travel conferences both for idea-generation and networking opportunities.
Pitch liberally and write prolifically (but maintain quality).
What are some common mistakes you see aspiring travel writers make?
The biggest mistake I see inexperienced writers make is to organize their piece chronologically and linearly. It’s boring. Break it up. Surprise not just with words but with structure.
Another common mistake: using too many adjectives. Don’t say the view is “beautiful.” Describe its beauty.
You’re now a judge for our Travel Writing Scholarship. What separates good travel writing from great travel writing? What makes a story sing for you?
I’ll be looking for great yarns that go beyond the place into the realm of the universal. In other words, tell me a story that's not just about you in one spot, but all of us, everywhere.
Helen hones her writing skills as she travels through Albania and Montenegro as a winner of the 2017 Travel Writing Scholarship.
Norie Quintos, editor-at-large at Nat Geo Travel and one of our 2018 Travel Writing Scholarship judges gives us a glimpse at what she looks for when editing a piece.
Rejection is never easy. Charukesi Ramadurai shares some tips from her sometimes painful, and always practical, experience.
Thanks for a very practical & straighforward tips on how to develop one’s passion in travel writing.
You make us proud !Norie! I am also from the Philippines and knowing that great writers go beyond their boundaries inspire me to write down my thoughts. I don’t have any professional writing background but I always wanted to share my travel experiences . I hope I can join the league of aspiring travel writers.

A study provides one more reason to carve out time every day for a brisk walk or similar exercise, especially if you have vascular disease or are at risk for developing it. Vascular disease, including heart disease and other conditions that affect blood vessels, increases the risk of age-related problems with memory and thinking, known as cognitive decline. Many studies indicate that exercise has a protective effect on cognitive function, but most have focused on generally healthy populations. The study suggests that a 72-year-old woman with vascular problems (or vascular risk factors) who exercises at least 30 minutes a day may be, on average, as cognitively sharp as a 65-year-old woman. Results were published in the Archives of Internal Medicine (July 25, 2011).
The study. The investigation involved 2,809 women ages 65 years and over who were part of a larger study, the Women's Antioxidant Cardiovascular Study. All of them had vascular disease or at least three risk factors for heart disease, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher. Researchers periodically asked the women about their exercise habits, including activities such as swimming, biking, and aerobic dance, as well as walking and stair climbing. They also conducted telephone interviews to assess participants' cognitive function using five tests, including memory tests of 10 words and a "category fluency" test that asked participants to name as many animals as possible in one minute. Most of the women (81%) completed at least three assessments at two-year intervals. The researchers classified the women into five groups, or quintiles, based on their reported activity levels an average of 3.5 years before their initial cognitive assessment.

Every PAX there is a community panel which breaks down where to get each pin at the show, usually involves a Q and A, and gives insight into some of the community happenings and events. And of course - there is that sweet reveal of pins to come.
Last year PAX Aus got the scoop on the Super Mario Bros 3 pins.
And this year, we'd like to do something different. We will be hosting the first ever Australian Pin Community Game Show. We will be doing a game show style format for our panel, and there will be prizes. And of course, there is the handout and the upcoming reveal.
We're allowed a maximum of 6 people on the panel. So if you're interested, please comment below or direct message me on Slack.
1. You must be able to get to PAX Aus.
2. You must be available on the day of the Panel.
3. You must help with planning the day. This will likely involve some google docs, skype calls or even meetups.
If we get more people than we need we'll be ensuring that there is a fair chance for people to be involved. Those who put some effort in will be really appreciated. This isn't a first come, first serve thing - if you can meet all 6 of these requirements, and provide some ideas of what we can do for the day - you're in with a good chance. I myself am not guaranteed a spot yet, although it is likely I'll be putting this together and submitting the panel.
Hope some of you are willing to help out!
If you need advice, feel free to reach out to myself, @arigold789, @pureval @PedroAsani or @Peace0706 - We handled the first two game shows.

The retrial of John Valerio continues. The Nevada man convicted of murder in 1988 remains guilty under the law for stabbing a Las Vegas prostitute 45 times, but now has a second chance at the penalty phase, where he hopes to escape the death penalty. His best scenario would be life in prison with a possibility of parole after 20 years. Valerio and his attorneys insist that the Nevada law regarding the death penalty at the time was too vague. Court is expected to resume at approximately 1:00pm PT/4:00 pm ET.
Karen Blackwell‘s body was found in the trunk of a car, wrapped in sheets from Valerio’s apartment. Her blood was found all over his apartment, and he had her keys and address book in his jacket pocket. But while his guilt is not in doubt, the question was whether his actions met the definition of “depravity of mind” required for the death penalty under Nevada law at the time.
Witnesses who testified on Wednesday included retired prison warden Sherman Hatcher. Hatcher described how Valerio behaved while at a correctional facility where Hatcher worked. Hatcher said that early on, Valerio had some minor behavioral issues, but he matured over time and never had issues with prison staff. There was one time when he was caught with a weapon fashioned out of a prison-issued shaver. Valerio was not affiliated with any gangs, Hatcher said, and since 2000, Valerio has not had any write-ups (a review of records showed that it was really 2001). On cross-examination, Hatcher admitted that Valerio was not a perfect inmate, but he’s seen worse. He also mentioned that Valerio has not been living in the general prison population, so it’s hard to say how he’d behave in that setting.
Also testifying was Kathryn Stevens, a graduate of Harvard Divinity School who was pen-pals with Valerio. She described him as “thoughtful” and as a friend.
The court also heard testimony from Valerio’s family members. His father, John Valerio Sr., and step-mother Judith Valerio took the stand. “He was a very nice young man,” Judith said. Testimony from Valerio’s sister and uncle from the original trial was read before the court as well.
Trauma surgeon Dr. Jay Coates also took the stand, and discussed the nature of Blackwell’s wounds. He described how there were various grouping of stab wounds in different parts of her body, which is not uncommon. What struck the doctor as unusual was that each group had eight stab wounds, and that normally he would not see the exact same number of wounds in each group.

On Earthgauge radio this week, we take a look at the state of Canada’s National Parks and we speak with the well-known and influential Canadian environmentalist Tzeporah Berman.
In our first interview on today’s podcast, I speak with the award-winning author and environmental educator Jeff Gailus. He wrote an article in the current issue of Alternatives Journal called ‘All Sizzle No Stake’, in which he reflects on the current state of Canada’s national parks in the wake of Parks Canada’s 100th anniversary last year. There was a lot of self-congratulatory back slapping at the Agency to mark the 100th anniversary milestone but Jeff makes the case that our national parks are in fact not in great shape and there are important reasons why all Canadians should be concerned about how our parks are being managed. Parks Canada’s 100th birthday may have been celebrated in Canada’s uncritical media, but that doesn’t mean our national parks are in good shape.
Also on the program today we have an extended 2-part interview with the well-known and influential Canadian environmental activist Tzeporah Berman who at various times been called everything from an ‘eco-terrorist’ to an ‘enemy of the state’. She is currently the co-director of Greenpeace International‘s Climate and Energy Program but she has a long history in Canada’s environmental movement dating back almost 20 years to her involvement as a key organizer in the unprecedented logging protests in British Columbia’s Clayoquot Sound on Vancouver Island in the early 90s. For her role she faced nearly one thousand criminal charges and up to six years in prison. She later co-founded ForestEthics and took on the lingerie company Victoria Secret to pressure them to stop using paper made from old-growth forests. She is also the author of a recent memoir called This Crazy Time: Living Our Environmental Challenge. In our interview we talk about her book, which reflects on her many years as an activist. Despite being criticized heavily and even vilified by both industry and government, as well as some other environmentalists, she makes no apologies for her strategies over the years, saying some conservation agreements would not have been possible without negotiation and engagement. She explains why she feels it is not enough for the environmental movement simply to oppose, we also need to propose solutions when protests and activism have captured the attention of media and government leaders.
We also have our usual segment with Kathy of Ecology Ottawa who updates us on local environmental events and campaigns. I’ve listed a few of the upcoming events below and you can click here to see a complete list with full details.

how about taking some photos of you and your friends dressed up as kings or queens, rock and roll stars, future heroes or villans...you choose the theme and create a scene with the props provided.
children select from one of the theme areas ie. future, medieval, monsters or punk rock. they can select from many ‘theatre style’ costumes including accessories such as wigs, head pieces etc.
in the areas there is also a selection of props which they choose to help them complete the scene. to reduce the risk of injury props are lightweight and children cannot stand on top of them.
digital photos of the group can be taken or supplied by our experienced staff when they are set up.

We managed to find a short term lease for the few months we were going to be spending in Toronto for the duration of the accelerator. We jumped into it right away, meeting with mentors, cohort dinners, meeting with investors, etc. Little did we know, we were going to take a completely different direction with the company.
It's Not a "Pivot", It's a "Restart"
I later found out that part of the reason we were selected is because of our team. We were 3 people with complimentary skills. A super technical developer (me), a designer (with coding skills) and a business development/product person (with coding skills).
We had a "musical chairs" pitch session one day at the end of week #2 where 5 tables with 5-8 investors/mentors were sitting. Each team had a total of 20 minutes at each table to give the elevator pitch and do a mini Q/A and get feedback.
We quickly realized we were in trouble because no could really see a successful product and basically told us they wouldn't invest in the company if that was the direction we were talking. We had a choice to make. We could either give up, pack up and go home, or we could come up with a completely new idea and see how far we could get in the remaining 10 weeks.
This is part of the reason we were selected for the cohort. Because we had a strong team, in the event of having to start over, we were the best suited to take on that challenge.
So we stopped at the corner store, got some sharpies and a big flip board, some beer and pizza and went back to the house. We started by writing down every idea or problem we could think of. When we were coming up with ideas, we all had to wear "white hats". The idea is you can't criticize any idea during this phase, since that comes later.
Once we had 30 ideas on the board and couldn't think of any others, we put on our "black hats". We tore apart every idea one by one. Was the market big enough? How many competitors exist/can we compete? Is it technically possible? Is it financially possible?
After our first pass, we reduced it down to 15, and then down to 6 after a second pass. The third one down the list eventually became the idea we decided to go with.
Now that we had our new idea, we presented it again to the mentors and the investors running the accelerator. They liked this idea much more because it seemed to have more potential. Our quest to try and build this product in the remaining 10 weeks thus began. It was going to be an uphill challenge, but you have to be a little crazy in the first place when building a startup.

In anticipation of the first quarter earnings season that begins in earnest this week, stocks took a breather last week and consolidated recent gains. The S&P 500 Index rose modestly while the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed virtually flat. Investors received a taste of the quarterly profit reports on Friday when JP Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo both reported better than expected revenue and earnings. Although Wells Fargo issued disappointing guidance, JP Morgan Chase maintained its earnings outlook for the year as it reported record profits that were helped by higher interest rates and strong consumer banking results. Investors should be encouraged by these initial results, but this week will be key as nearly fifty S&P 500 companies are scheduled to report first quarter earnings. The other important news items last week were minutes from the March Federal Reserve meeting and the European Central Bank (ECB) meeting to review monetary policy. The Fed minutes showed that the majority of its officials thought that the economic outlook was such that interest rates could be left unchanged for the entire year. Because of softening data on consumer spending and housing, weaker global economic growth and benign inflation, the Fed can afford to be more patient and should be much less inclined to hike rates. The ECB also made no changes to its monetary policy, announcing that it would not raise its benchmark interest rate until at least the end of 2019. The euro zone economy is weaker than the U.S. and risks there remained skewed to the downside as growth continues to slow. Investors had also become concerned recently about slowing growth in China, but the country reported stronger than expected export data in March, nearly double what economists had expected. There were positive developments in the ongoing trade talks with China, too, as both sides were close to agreeing on enforcement mechanisms when a deal is finally reached.
Inflation data released last week indicated that prices remain under control. The consumer price index (CPI) in March recorded its biggest increase in over a year, but excluding food and energy, prices barely budged and the CPI has increased less than 2% during the last 12 months. The March producer price index (PPI) was also higher than expected but the core rate (excluding food and energy) of wholesale inflation was flat. Excluding petroleum, import prices in March edged up slightly and were flat for the past 12 months. February factory orders fell and were worse than expected due to weakness in machinery, transportation and electronics orders. Weekly jobless claims fell by 8,000 to 196,000, the lowest level since October 1969 and a sign that the labor market remains strong.
In corporate news, Walt Disney announced a new streaming service that would compete with Netflix and Chevron announced plans to acquire Anadarko Petroleum for $33 billion in cash and stock. In overseas news, European Union leaders agreed to postpone the deadline on Brexit until October 31.
For the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 12 points to close virtually flat at 26,412 and the S&P 500 Index rose 0.5% to close at 2,907. The Nasdaq Composite Index added 0.6% to close at 7,984.
Leading economic indicators and retail sales for March are both expected to rebound strongly after posting tepid numbers in February that might have been weather-related. Housing starts and industrial production should also see an improvement over the previous month.
Among the most notable companies scheduled to report first quarter earnings this week are Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Charles Schwab, US Bancorp, SunTrust Banks, American Express, IBM, Johnson & Johnson, UnitedHealth, Abbott Labs, PepsiCo, Philip Morris International, Union Pacific, Honeywell and Schlumberger.
If the first quarter earnings results from JP Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo are any indication, this earnings season could be better than most people expect. While two profit reports are a small sample size, the results were impressive and could set the tone for the remaining reporting season. We certainly will find out over the next two weeks as nearly 40% of S&P 500 companies are scheduled to report their earnings. Earnings are expected to decline about 4% from the year-ago quarter and analysts’ estimates have come down since the start of the year, lowering the bar that companies need to clear. The S&P 500 has risen over 16% this year and is now less than 1% from its all-time high, a move upward that has been the result of an expansion in the price earnings ratio, which is now at about 17 times forward earnings. This higher multiple could be the result of the Federal Reserve’s more dovish monetary policy and its more patient approach with regard to raising interest rates. It also could be due to the belief among economists that economic growth will increase in the second half of the year, leading to stronger corporate profit growth that would justify higher stock prices. For this reason, the outlook that companies provide for the balance of the year will be just as important as their first quarter earnings results.

How to Prevent your Bike from Being Stolen In the UK a bike is stolen on average every minute, with less than 6% being returned. Research studies show that cyclists are more likely to have their bicycle stolen than car owners or motorcyclists. Bicycle theft has also doubled since the 1990’s. A good combination of equipment, common sense and a bit of luck will ultimately help keep your ride exactly where you left it.
An unlocked bicycle is the most common reason a bike gets stolen; it acts as an invitation for a thief to steal and only takes a few seconds to do so. Never leave your bicycle unlocked, under no circumstances!
A poor quality lock can easily be broken. It pays to invest in a high quality lock, usually around £30-£50. It’s a smart idea to lock your bicycle to something immovable or for maximum protection use two locks.
It’s a good idea to lock your bike in a public area where there are lots of people around. Most train stations and public buildings have designated areas for bikes with bicycle racks. Plan ahead and check out the facilities in the places you are planning to leave your bicycle.
When at home it’s still important to lock your bicycle, in the garage is the safest place for your bike. If you don’t have a garage, you could invest in a ground anchor, allowing you to attach it securely to the wall or a concrete floor. Keep your bike out of view, as it could act as in incentive to break into your property.
Another idea is to lock it next to better bikes, so it appears less valuable to those surrounding it, so is less likely to be targeted.
