The 1980s were the beginning of the construction of archaeologically inspired buildings inside and outside archaeological open-air museums. 1987, a workshop took place in Århus, Denmark with 31 specialists from 13 countries attending. It was organised by the subcommittee on Archaeology of the European Science Foundation (ESF) and was themed: "the reconstruction of wooden buildings from the prehistoric and early historic period".
The 1987 ESF workshop in Århus on the reconstruction of wooden buildings was initiated by professor H.T. Waterbolk from Groningen, Netherlands and professor O. Olsen from Copenhagen, Denmark. In their proposal to the ESF, they wrote of the problems of constructing at a 1:1 size. Some of the problems addressed are still valid today.

Trumbull's Patrick Lomnitzer controls the ball as Staples' Kosta Papa defends during Tuesday's lacrosse match at Trumbull High School.
The barrage kept coming from all angles and directions, and Trumbull goalie Will Testani kept the Eagles in it.
Staples never stopped, though, peppering the Trumbull net with more than enough shots to finally build a big lead and beat the Eagles 9-4 Tuesday at McDougall Stadium in FCIAC boys lacrosse.
"I feel like a lot of our shots were decent shots," said Kip Orban, Staples' standout senior midfielder who scored four goals. "Their goalie played a great game. Our sticks were not on today. As soon as we get back to school, I'm going to go take a few shots."
Staples (6-2) outshot Trumbull (2-6) 49-12. The Wreckers ground out leads of 5-0 at halftime and 7-1 after three quarters before the Eagles' Ken Kaczmarczyk scored three goals in the fourth quarter.
The Wreckers put 25 of those 49 shots on the cage. Testani stopped 16.
"Will played awesome," Trumbull coach Scott Zinser said. "He has been playing well, but it hasn't really shown in the scores."
Trumbull has lost five in a row, giving up double-digit goals in three of those losses. It's a fairly young team, and midfielder Kaczmarczyk is the most experienced.
"As you could see, he's our guy. Every other team knows it, too," Zinser said. "It's tough when you're the only experienced guy in the top six."
But the Eagles stuck with Staples and gave themselves a chance to make it a game again in the fourth quarter.
"They played us really well, really hard," Orban said. "We came out a little too flat."
The Wreckers had enough at the start to take a 2-0 lead in the first four minutes. Charlie Ross (one goal, three assists) scored at 1:15, then set up Peter Paul (two goals).
Staples, winning for the first time this year with less than 10 goals, didn't score again until the second quarter. By halftime, the Wreckers had 25 shots, and 11 missed the net. In the third, they scored just two goals on 15 shots, seven of them on the cage.
"It's just a matter of finishing the ball," Orban said. "We're getting open shots, and we're either missing or hitting the goalie in the stick."
A.J. Demasi cut into the lead early in the third quarter, but Orban (four goals) and Billy Lahiff (one goal, one assist) scored to give Staples a six-goal lead, more than enough for J.B. Breig (eight saves).
The Wreckers, unbeaten last year in the regular season, had a three-game winning streak snapped Saturday at Greenwich.
"It was good to come back from that," Orban said. "We're looking forward to the Weston game now."
Staples was supposed to host Weston on Thursday but the game was postponed to Friday because of the weather. The game was then moved to Friday, May 13.
Orban scored on a man-advantage late in the fourth quarter to make it 8-4. That was the Wreckers' only man-up goal, which didn't bother the all-state midfielder.
"We got some good shots on man-up," Orban said. "We were working some good plays. We just couldn't finish."
Jake Frimet (one goal, one assist) also scored for Staples. Matt Yeager (three ground balls) led the defense by preventing outlet passes. Greg Lewis and Joey Zelkowitz led the Wreckers with five ground balls each. Kosta Papadopoulos picked up three ground balls.

I started taking rosé wines seriously about two years ago after I bought a bottle of Whispering Angel when I saw it on another blogger's Instagram. She raved about it, so I decided to give it a try. One sip, and I was hooked. I set out to try as many rosé wines as I could. Surprisingly, they were hard to find two years ago. But today, rosés are en vogue and are much more accessible.
This pink is irresistible. It's not overwhelmingly sweet but has the nicest hints of berries. It's incredibly refreshing and pairs well with anything from seafood to steaks to chips and guacamole.
This is another real deal rosé that's not sickeningly sweet. A surprising combination of white pepper, cotton candy, and Provencal herbs make for a delicious wine.
I love that this crisp and simple rosé wine contains rich exotic fruits such as pineapple and red grapefruit and has the slightest splash of sea salt.
I love the sleek label on this rosé. But in addition to a cool label, this rosé boasts hints of guava, passionfruit, and tart cherry. It's a must have poolside this summer!

I'll be entering the Zenfolio Featured Images contest soon (deadline is in a week), and the theme is "All About Light." "We are looking for images that are striking because of their use of light… We will accept a lot of flexibility in the subject but the light must 'make the shot'."
In addition to digging a few years back for appropriate photos, I've also been trying to take new ones that would work, such as the shot above. If the moon comes back before the deadline, I think I'll have something.
Until then, though, feel free to browse my brainstorming gallery, which has potential submissions alongside placeholder images and photos to jog my memory. In particular, if you want to see some of my older photos, now's your chance. See if you can spot the gecko.
Love this set on light Omari! BTW, is picture #72 out of 75 outside of the Science Museum in RIC?

I fear that these many days off the water may bore the readers of this blog but it's all part of the story so why not share it. Today, with the truck I borrowed from Neil, I drove from Fort Lauderdale back across the state to St. Petersburg where the Sweetwater Kayak Symposium is being held. I had planned on attending the event ever since the earliest planning stages of this trip. I thought early on that it’d be a great way to connect with paddlers from all around the state in one place. The symposium is put on by my friend Russell Farrow and is bringing in some of the biggest names in kayak instruction in the country. A list of people, because of my time at Aqua Adventures in San Diego, whom I consider good friends. The roster also includes Jen Kleck so the chance to see her again made the event something I wouldn‘t have missed for the world.
I always thought the symposium would be a great place to connect with paddlers from the area which is one of the things I hoped to do with this trip. For anybody that has never attended an event like this I highly recommend it. Aside from the great instruction you can get, the opportunity to meet and network with paddlers from all around the country is amazing. I've attended and worked at many symposiums over the last several years and each one has been a great time. The coaches and schedule have been sorted out I'm slated to share my slide show with folks Friday night. Beyond that I'm here to be plugged into whatever hole needs to be filled. After helping Jen Kleck run the Southwest Kayak Symposium out in San Diego for the last couple years I know how every bit of help you can find is appreciated.
For someone working (or volunteering) on the inside, the intensity around one of these events can be compared to a wedding. The organizer(s) are like the bride and groom putting on the show, they’re the center of attention but not the only reason people have come. The coaches are like the wedding party, they’re here to support the organizers and do a job to make sure the task at hand is accomplished. They’re here mainly for the big show of course but also (because they’re normally good friends) they help a lot with the final set up and execution of the event. The students are like the wedding guests, they are what the whole event is about. The fact that so many are good friends of the event organizers it really does seem like a wedding when everyone arrives and things get rolling. Not being on the actual coach roster and also not being a guest, I guess you could compare my role this time to the busy-body cousin that’s just there to help out… and get free beer at the reception.
Anybody that has put on a big wedding can appreciate the amount of work that goes into something like this. A date must be chosen, a venue found, coaches selected, plane tickets purchased, invitations sent out (advertising), you have to help people find places to stay, people must be fed before during and after the event… you get the idea. Financially the event is usually barely a break even affair for the organizer, and you could wonder if it’s worth all the stress and work. However, the fact that it is so much fun to see everyone year after year and provide a venue for students and coaches to interact makes it all worthwhile. I for one, can’t wait to get back to San Diego at the end of March to help out with the Southwest Kayak Symposium once again. It’s going to be great to see all my friends out west all in one place for what is always a fun weekend.
Bob and I are looking so forward to seeing you briefly in San Diego. Do not worry - and don't let Jen worry, we will not be there for the Symposium - but before for about a week. I'm sure paths will cross - after all, we all do have to eat! Maybe together several times?? Always interesting to hear about the close and unique relationships paddlers have - your blogs are always interesting! Have a great time!
What? No alligators hanging out on Alligator alley? Too cold for them huh? I was looking forward to a couple pictures of the little (or big) buggers lolling around in the Florida sun. Oh well. Maybe on your return trip to Fort Lauderdale.
So, are you going to tell us about the symposium and show us pictures or is this the end of the line?
Hey, we'll decide when we're bored! Tell us about the symposium!

i fear that these many days off the water may bore the readers of this blog but it's all part of the story so why not share it. today, with the truck i borrowed from neil, i drove from fort lauderdale back across the state to st. petersburg where the sweetwater kayak symposium is being held. i had planned on attending the event ever since the earliest planning stages of this trip. i thought early on that it’d be a great way to connect with paddlers from all around the state in one place. the symposium is put on by my friend russell farrow and is bringing in some of the biggest names in kayak instruction in the country. a list of people, because of my time at aqua adventures in san diego, whom i consider good friends. the roster also includes jen kleck so the chance to see her again made the event something i wouldn‘t have missed for the world.
i always thought the symposium would be a great place to connect with paddlers from the area which is one of the things i hoped to do with this trip. for anybody that has never attended an event like this i highly recommend it. aside from the great instruction you can get, the opportunity to meet and network with paddlers from all around the country is amazing. i've attended and worked at many symposiums over the last several years and each one has been a great time. the coaches and schedule have been sorted out i'm slated to share my slide show with folks friday night. beyond that i'm here to be plugged into whatever hole needs to be filled. after helping jen kleck run the southwest kayak symposium out in san diego for the last couple years i know how every bit of help you can find is appreciated.
for someone working (or volunteering) on the inside, the intensity around one of these events can be compared to a wedding. the organizer(s) are like the bride and groom putting on the show, they’re the center of attention but not the only reason people have come. the coaches are like the wedding party, they’re here to support the organizers and do a job to make sure the task at hand is accomplished. they’re here mainly for the big show of course but also (because they’re normally good friends) they help a lot with the final set up and execution of the event. the students are like the wedding guests, they are what the whole event is about. the fact that so many are good friends of the event organizers it really does seem like a wedding when everyone arrives and things get rolling. not being on the actual coach roster and also not being a guest, i guess you could compare my role this time to the busy-body cousin that’s just there to help out… and get free beer at the reception.
anybody that has put on a big wedding can appreciate the amount of work that goes into something like this. a date must be chosen, a venue found, coaches selected, plane tickets purchased, invitations sent out (advertising), you have to help people find places to stay, people must be fed before during and after the event… you get the idea. financially the event is usually barely a break even affair for the organizer, and you could wonder if it’s worth all the stress and work. however, the fact that it is so much fun to see everyone year after year and provide a venue for students and coaches to interact makes it all worthwhile. i for one, can’t wait to get back to san diego at the end of march to help out with the southwest kayak symposium once again. it’s going to be great to see all my friends out west all in one place for what is always a fun weekend.
bob and i are looking so forward to seeing you briefly in san diego. do not worry - and don't let jen worry, we will not be there for the symposium - but before for about a week. i'm sure paths will cross - after all, we all do have to eat! maybe together several times?? always interesting to hear about the close and unique relationships paddlers have - your blogs are always interesting! have a great time!

Music changed in the 1950s with the birth of Rock and Roll. Along with new sounds, new dance crazes quickly swept the nation. On television, "American Bandstand" appeared each afternoon, and teenagers throughout the United States could hear the new sounds and learn dances to go along with them. Dances in the '50s were done individually, as couples, or in groups. Many dances were named for the songs that inspired them.
In the case of the Twist, the dance inspired the song, not the other way around. Hank Ballard saw some teens doing the dance and wrote the famous song "The Twist" in 1955, hiring Chubby Checker to sing the track. The dance craze caught on quickly, as it was simple to do. Dancers remained in one spot while twisting their hips back and forth. The song and its dance served as the inspiration for other Twist-related songs, including "Twist and Shout" by the Isley Brothers and Chubby Checker's "Let's Twist Again."
The Stroll was a group dance that was done in two lines, with boys on one side and girls on the other. There are many versions of the "stroll" style dance. The Stroll of the '50s was danced to a slow groove of rhythm and blues. The Stroll gained national popularity after being regularly included on "American Bandstand," which began airing in 1954. The Stroll was featured on the show because couples would stroll down the aisle between the two lines, and it was a way to show off dance moves. The people in the lines would do a side step back and forth, waiting for their turn at the end of the line to stroll down the aisle.
The Handjive was created by a DJ and record producer named Johnny Otis. His song "Willie and the Handjive," along with the accompanying dance, took the country by storm in 1958. The simple and repetitive song allowed teens to keep the beat while they did the Handjive. It could be done either standing or sitting. Variations of the Handjive existed, but the basic movements consisted of dancers slapping their thighs, crossing their hands over each other back and forth, hitting their fists on top of each other and "hitch-hiking" with their thumb back over their shoulder. Each step was done twice, then the sequence would repeat.
The Jitterbug was a couples' dance that had its roots in the swing-dance styles of the 1930s and '40s, such as the Lindy. The Jitterbug steps varied wildly, depending on the ability level of the couple. The basic steps consisted of a quick, two-step, rocking back and forth while holding hands and then a step out to the side and letting go of hands. The steps got more complicated from there. Relatively simple flare steps included going under each other's arms and spins. More complicated Jitterbug steps included lifts, flips and sliding between legs. The Jitterbug was also regularly performed on "American Bandstand," although the flashy, complicated moves were not allowed in order to maintain the show's wholesome image.

A goal all park employees share—from the most behind-the-scenes support staff to the top administrators—is to help make sure you have the best experience possible. We know your free time is valuable, and we want to help you make the most of your schedule while visiting our state parks.
We’d like to tell you more about one particular team of employees whose primary job function is to help you have fun. On ArkansasStateParks.com, our social channels, and here on this blog, you’ll often hear us mention our “park interpreters” who coordinate the parks’ “interpretive programs.” Many people aren’t sure exactly what we mean by that. Today, we’ll explain the role of a park interpreter.
The most common question our interpreters in Arkansas State Parks are asked is “What languages do you speak?” It is a fair question. Most people are familiar with the term “interpreter” in the realm of translating spoken or sign languages.
When you meet an interpreter in a state park, though, he or she might be fluent in a language other than English, but translating languages is not a main job responsibility. Rather, it is to interpret the natural, historical, or cultural resources of the site for park visitors.
In simpler terms, an interpreter’s job is to help make your visit to the park meaningful. When you visit a park, there are always plenty of activities for you to do on your own. You can hike a self-guided trail, enjoy scenic overlooks, rent a boat to go fishing or wildlife watching, or just relax at your cabin or campsite.
Imagine, though, walking that same trail with a park interpreter as your guide. This is someone who understands the history of the area, who knows land, who lives in the park day in and day out, 365 days a year. He or she is in tune with nature’s rhythms and is able to point out things you might miss, such as bird songs in the tree canopy above, signs of wildlife foraging in the area, or remnants of a historical homestead.
Interpreters are the employees responsible for planning, publicizing, and presenting the fun, interactive, and educational programs for which Arkansas State Parks are known. Activities vary by site, but if your family has ever taken a guided hike, lake cruise, or kayak tour…or if you’ve attended an evening owl prowl, amphitheater talk, or campfire…or encountered a living history character, nature craft workshop, or outdoor skills demonstration, chances are good it was the park interpreter who served as your leader and guide.
Many interpreters are specialists in several subjects, and from time to time they offer multi-day workshops allowing visitors an immersion learning experience in a safe, supervised atmosphere. These include kids’ day camps, weekend family camping adventures, kayak and canoe overnight trips, Dutch oven cooking workshops, and many more. In addition, it is often the park interpreters who research and write the brochures and exhibits you enjoy during your park visits.
Some park systems, including the National Park Service, refer to interpreters as “rangers.” In Arkansas State Parks, we do have employees with the job title of “ranger” at many park locations, but their main duties are public safety, park security, and law enforcement. Our rangers and interpreters work as a team to educate visitors about how to enjoy the parks safely and protect the valuable resources of the area.
In Arkansas, the interpreter positions used to be called “naturalists.” Today, having naturalist skills is still a major part of their job descriptions; however, they do much more than just identify plants and wildlife. They are biologists, geologists, botanists, historians, educators, and recreation specialists.
More importantly, they are communicators who encourage you to discover your own meanings in the parks. We believe that interpretation helps visitors better understand just how special our parks are. Through understanding, comes appreciation and protection of the parks so that we can remain here for generations to come.
All of our full-time park interpreters hold four-year degrees in a relevant major, such as biology, history, environmental science, park administration, communication, or education. Most also come to us with prior professional experience doing frontline interpretation in the field. Many begin their careers as seasonal, or part-time, interpreters while completing their college degrees.
Interpreters are also encouraged to pursue credentials from the National Association for Interpretation, which is the recognized voice of the interpretive profession. Many have earned status as Certified Heritage Interpreters and/or Certified Interpretive Guides.
In addition, many complete specialized subject matter training from industry leaders. For example, we use the American Canoe Association’s standards for kayak training, and we use curriculum from the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics for teaching camping and backpacking skills.
Park interpreters are passionate people. We love our parks and want you to love them too. I should know! I began as a seasonal interpreter in 1999 and have gladly made my career with Arkansas State Parks, now serving as chief of interpretation and program services.
We eagerly share our experiences and knowledge. We work hard, doing many things behind the scenes that you may never know about, to help put you in the right place at the right time to create wonderful memories. We help you have special experiences like a hike along a rugged mountain trail, a kayak tour in the morning mist, a nighttime forest walk with owls hooting overhead, or a trip back in time to cook in cast iron and imagine what pioneer survival was like.
Interpretation is more than just leading you down a trail, though, or simply showing you how to do things. Park interpreters are trained to engage you in conversation, find out what you’re interested in, and relate to you in a way that sparks inspiration to know more.
Good interpreters reveal meanings and relationships in the world around them. They ask questions, encourage thoughtful reflection, and listen to the stories that visitors are eager to share. But they don’t stop there. The best interpreters take these emotional and intellectual connections one step further and provoke visitors to act on their newfound interests. This action could be as simple as attending another program (and bringing friends and family along) or as in-depth as joining the park’s “friends” group and becoming a loyal volunteer. Ultimately, we hope our visitors become more conservation-minded in the parks and in their daily lives at home.
Our park interpreters routinely schedule programs designed to help you make memories of a lifetime. We offer over 40,000 family-friendly programs and events each year, including lake tours on park party barges, guided hikes, birding adventures, living history demonstrations, nature games, fall foliage programs, historic site tours, bald eagle watches, spring wildflower walks, campfires, outdoor skills workshops, and much more.
One way you can maximize your time while visiting an Arkansas State Park is to know in advance what our park interpreters have planned during your scheduled trip. Or maybe, you want to plan a trip around a certain special event. Either way, be sure to take advantage of our online calendar of events available to you year round. This handy tool allows you to customize your search with specific dates, locations, categories, and/or keywords (such as kayak, archeology, birding, or day camp). Our website is responsive, so if you’re out and about, you can search easily on your phone or tablet.
Your search results are sorted according to the categories in the drop down shown below, and within each category are sorted by title and start time. Programs involving physical activity are noted with a “heart healthy” heart symbol. When you find programs you like, we’ve made it easy for you to save it to your online calendar.
It is important to note that scheduled programs and events are subject to change. We try not to cancel or change dates for events that have been publicized, but sometimes weather or other unforeseen circumstances require it. Before traveling, contact the park for program confirmation, further details, reservations when required, and to check on accessibility for visitors with disabilities. Get started now by browsing our calendar of events to see what’s happening in the parks today!

Goes great with my green darts.
For nylon flights, these are a bit thinner than most, which I love! Saves me from having to adjust my shafts.
I picked these for their simplicity. A friend describes them as "snazzy and graceful." A favorite!

We all know about Lean. At least most of us do. We need to Lean our processes and organizations. We need to make them more efficient and less wasteful. But the problem is that Lean is only for incremental improvements. Given an existing process, how can we make it 5%, 10% more efficient? But the problem is that many opportunities for business aren’t just about incremental improvements in processes, we need to develop the new opportunities and products. Does Lean help with this? Absolutely not.
It is all about Innovation Games and Empathy Maps. With these tools and methods we can actually build customer engagement and try to develop Novel Innovations. With Novel Innovation we can discover new innovation that deliver new markets and services. No longer are we talking about 5%-10%. Now we are taking with total green-field opportunities that can offer 100%-200% growth. We are suddenly moved from a discussion of cost cutting to growth.
So how do we move from Lean to Novel? By changing our focus from internal to external. Instead of looking internally on how we can help to improve the internal working, lets look externally and see what the clients actually want and will pay for. No longer can we just look internally, incremental improvements are not enough.
If you aren’t looking at your customers. your competitors are.
I can’t stress this enough. Innovation is not an internal exercise. Many innovation frameworks look internally and discuss how to propose and gather innovation feedback internally. Without the involvement of the client and the building of client empathy, it is an unfocused effort that is not likely to succeed.
Read Innovation Games. Learn how to build Customer Engagement and Empathy.These methods will highlighted Novel approaches that will change your business and create the next generation of the business.
This role focused mainly on Risk Mitigation. In the early years of computing, there was great value to be gleaned by entering data in a consistent way and minimizing errors. There was also great value realized by then having all the data in one location that could then be reported on to provide key indicators for the health of the business.
Information Technology implemented systems to record the current state or what ‘IS’.
I often refer to this as the golden age of computing as we turned the power of the computer to problems that were much easier to scale and make more efficient using a computer rather than adding more people. The benefits were also realized in many workflow projects where Information Technology assisted people in guiding what they were supposed to do in the workflow process. In this phase, the increased computing power was also brought to the forefront to provide processing power that was only dreamed about 5 years ago.
In this phase, Information Technology implemented systems to take business beyond ‘IS’ and towards what business ‘COULD’ do with automation.
With the Agile Manifesto, Information Technology ushered in the new phase of Agile projects. Now we were focusing not only on the outcomes of the projects, but also HOW the projects were being executed to maximize value. This was done through reducing Cycle Time, Maximizing Client Engagement, and through Visual Project Management.
In this phase, Information Technology implemented project processes that showed how projects should be run.
These first three phases focused on improvement, refinement, assisting the business to get better. We are now on the cusp of the fourth phase where Information Technology helps the business grow.
There is much talk about Innovation and how people must innovate, but it remains somewhat elusive. What is clear is that Information Technology has a role to play in helping clients Innovate.
Information Technology is uniquely position to leverage visual tools like Innovation Games, Empathy Maps, Business Model Canvas to provide business the brutal visibility that Information Technology provided previously about the projects in the Agile phase. What is clear is that the trend that Agile started toward visual requirements must continue. Specifications have improved from Specification documents to Use Cases to User Stories to A Business Model Canvas. Each one more visual that the prior.
What is also clear is that asking people what they want and documenting the response in words is a very risky endeavor.
For the first time, Business Models can be captured on one sheet and what-if-analysis can be done like in the first spreadsheet programs to evaluate options and alternatives.
In this phase, Information Technology is analyzing and recommending business processes that show how business can grow.

we all know about lean. at least most of us do. we need to lean our processes and organizations. we need to make them more efficient and less wasteful. but the problem is that lean is only for incremental improvements. given an existing process, how can we make it 5%, 10% more efficient? but the problem is that many opportunities for business aren’t just about incremental improvements in processes, we need to develop the new opportunities and products. does lean help with this? absolutely not.
it is all about innovation games and empathy maps. with these tools and methods we can actually build customer engagement and try to develop novel innovations. with novel innovation we can discover new innovation that deliver new markets and services. no longer are we talking about 5%-10%. now we are taking with total green-field opportunities that can offer 100%-200% growth. we are suddenly moved from a discussion of cost cutting to growth.
so how do we move from lean to novel? by changing our focus from internal to external. instead of looking internally on how we can help to improve the internal working, lets look externally and see what the clients actually want and will pay for. no longer can we just look internally, incremental improvements are not enough.
if you aren’t looking at your customers. your competitors are.
i can’t stress this enough. innovation is not an internal exercise. many innovation frameworks look internally and discuss how to propose and gather innovation feedback internally. without the involvement of the client and the building of client empathy, it is an unfocused effort that is not likely to succeed.
read innovation games. learn how to build customer engagement and empathy.these methods will highlighted novel approaches that will change your business and create the next generation of the business.
this role focused mainly on risk mitigation. in the early years of computing, there was great value to be gleaned by entering data in a consistent way and minimizing errors. there was also great value realized by then having all the data in one location that could then be reported on to provide key indicators for the health of the business.
information technology implemented systems to record the current state or what ‘is’.
i often refer to this as the golden age of computing as we turned the power of the computer to problems that were much easier to scale and make more efficient using a computer rather than adding more people. the benefits were also realized in many workflow projects where information technology assisted people in guiding what they were supposed to do in the workflow process. in this phase, the increased computing power was also brought to the forefront to provide processing power that was only dreamed about 5 years ago.
in this phase, information technology implemented systems to take business beyond ‘is’ and towards what business ‘could’ do with automation.
with the agile manifesto, information technology ushered in the new phase of agile projects. now we were focusing not only on the outcomes of the projects, but also how the projects were being executed to maximize value. this was done through reducing cycle time, maximizing client engagement, and through visual project management.
in this phase, information technology implemented project processes that showed how projects should be run.
these first three phases focused on improvement, refinement, assisting the business to get better. we are now on the cusp of the fourth phase where information technology helps the business grow.
there is much talk about innovation and how people must innovate, but it remains somewhat elusive. what is clear is that information technology has a role to play in helping clients innovate.
information technology is uniquely position to leverage visual tools like innovation games, empathy maps, business model canvas to provide business the brutal visibility that information technology provided previously about the projects in the agile phase. what is clear is that the trend that agile started toward visual requirements must continue. specifications have improved from specification documents to use cases to user stories to a business model canvas. each one more visual that the prior.
what is also clear is that asking people what they want and documenting the response in words is a very risky endeavor.
for the first time, business models can be captured on one sheet and what-if-analysis can be done like in the first spreadsheet programs to evaluate options and alternatives.
in this phase, information technology is analyzing and recommending business processes that show how business can grow.
we won’t just be helping companies to get better, but to be different.

Daily Debate: Did Operation Moonfall Matter?
Immediately following the official announcement of Majora’s Mask 3D, long-time supporters of a Majora’s Mask remake went through a flurry of thoughts, emotions, and questions; some wanted to know for how long this game had been gestating, others were simply and shock, but nearly all were elated. Not the least of these fans were the ardent supporters of the Operation Moonfall movement.
For those who are unaware of this movement, know that it was a fan-based movement started back in 2011 in an effort to get a remake of Majora’s Mask on the 3DS, much in the same way that Ocarina of Time received one. Following last week’s news, some supporters were quick to assume that Operation Moonfall did have a significant impact on the decision to create the game; Nintendo was certainly aware of the movement. And yet, a statement by Eiji Aonuma a few days ago made it clear that the decision that to develop the remake was made well before Operation Moonfall reached its prime.
So is that the end of the story? Does the fact the Majora’s Mask 3D was in development the whole time OM was in process mean that it didn’t matter? Many fans have made it clear that they believe so, pointing out the obvious conclusion and gloating about it to their OM-supporting peers, and with fair reason. Some OM supporters undoubtedly are going (or have already gone ) through an identity crisis of sorts, uncertain of whether or not the movement was in vain. This, however, should not be over-dramatized; Operation Moonfall’s main supports ended over a year ago and for many it was simply a signature on a petition and a hope for a game.
For the founders of the movement, such as our own Nathaniel Rumphol-Janc, this should be a rather large and crushing blow – and yet it isn’t. Like most all in the fan community, the leaders of the Operation Moonfall movement are simply thrilled that this wasn’t all just a pipe dream; Majora’s Mask 3D is actually happening. And they are looking forward to playing it just as much as everyone else – not to mention sharing any and all news they learn about it.
As one who was never part of Operation Moonfall – although I was certainly aware of it – I am happy that the movement existed. Although it is far too early to tell whether the movement pushed development ideas or was purposely utilized by Nintendo to aid marketing for the game (the latter of which we will likely never uncover), one thing was made clear: the Zelda community and its fans are strong and supportive. From kickstarters, to art, to the main petition, it became clear just how important incredible series can be to people, and that alone is worth celebrating.
Never having played the original, I am thrilled to finally have my curiosity surrounding Majora’s Mask sated this coming Spring, perhaps sooner if I sit down and take the time to play through the N64 version. And I thank Operation Moonfall for drawing me further into the Zelda fandom, making me question this unusual title, and eventually leading me to write and collect news for the series I love. So here I ask you, those who supported OM, those who laughed at it, and those who simply knew about it in passing: Did Operation Moonfall Matter?

Cyber criminals used data from previous high-profile hacks to break into thousands of Tesco.com accounts.
In total, 2,239 customers are said to have been affected by the incident, which first came to light on Thursday night, as reported by the BBC when it was contacted by some of the affected customers.
Customers reported seeing store vouchers stolen from their accounts after crooks used details from other data breaches to guess the email and password combinations of their logins for the site.
Tesco said it was aware and was working with customers to try and negate the effects of the incident.
It has also disabled some accounts of those affected. V3 contacted Tesco for more information, but had received no reply at the time of publication.
It is not clear which previous hacks the criminals used to piece together information for the Tesco.com site, but this breach underlines the perils of using identical email addresses and passwords for numerous online accounts.

The holidays are here. In addition to celebrating with family and friends, the holiday season also means increased travel and perhaps a few too many adult beverages.
The holiday season also brings an increased emphasis on driving under the influence (DUI) prevention and enforcement. From December 15 through January 2, law enforcement agencies across Georgia will be engaging in a "high visibility" campaign to catch impaired drivers. While DUI is illegal year-round, there will be even more police on the roads looking for impaired drivers at this time of year.
As Harris Blackwood, director of the Governor's Office of Highway Safety described the holiday DUI enforcement campaign, "We're not hiding--nobody's hiding behind a billboard sign trying to do a 'gotcha.' We're telling you up front officers will be out there and they will place you under arrest."
More police looking for impaired drivers means there is a higher likelihood of being arrested if you overindulge at a party or family gathering during the holidays.
The consequences of a DUI conviction can be severe. A first DUI conviction in Fulton County is a misdemeanor, with penalties including at least 24 hours in jail, fines, probation, community service and a potential license suspension. Penalties for subsequent DUI convictions or causing an accident or injuries while driving under the influence are far more harsh.
In addition to the legal consequences, a DUI conviction can negatively affect your employment, education and housing opportunities. If you or a loved one is arrested for DUI this holiday season, don't put your future at risk. Contact an experienced Fulton County DUI attorney as soon as possible.
Don't drive under the influence. This seems like an obvious thing to avoid, but unfortunately, it is quite easy to have a drink or two and get behind the wheel without realizing that you're legally too impaired to drive. It's also important to remember that alcohol isn't the only substance you need to worry about when driving. Over-the-counter medication, legally-prescribed drugs, and illegal drug use can all result in a DUI arrest.
Designate a driver. If you expect that you will be drinking or using (legal or illegal) drugs, designate a sober driver. This person should take their responsibility seriously and abstain from all alcohol or other drug use.
Find a safe ride home. If you have been drinking or using drugs, call a ride-sharing service or taxi, or take public transportation. AAA also offers a free Tow to Go service between December 22 and New Year's Day. This confidential service will transport a vehicle and driver to their home, up to 10 miles away.
Look out for each other. If a friend or family member has had one too many, you will save them a lot of potential legal trouble by taking their keys and finding them a safe ride home.
We wish you and your loved ones a safe and happy holiday season.
