Over the March Break, The Boy had a chance to create some really fun art work. One of the things he made, the following kid craft, was directly inspired by the work of art teacher, Christie, and the kids she teaches. Her blog, Fine Lines, is one we both enjoy perusing.
Using Christie's Pattern Pathways as a jumping off point, The Boy created his funky "Robot Maze". He started with two sheets of 8-1/2"x 11" printer paper, and cut each into 6 small rectangles. He built his "robot" from the resulting 12 rectangles, and concocted his continuous maze first in pencil and then in marker. He then added colour to the snakey bits of the maze in colourful marker. And finally, he painted the outside of the maze with cake paint.
It's an organic looking sort of robot, isn't it? Pretty cool, I think.
Thank you Christie for the flow of art ideas for children. I want you to know that we love and appreciate your talent and hard work.
P.S. In the next post, I'll be asking you to fill out a 5 question survey. I need your excellent input on a few things and thought a little survey might just do the trick! Until then?

Teen sexting' is part of the (too much) information age
The following editorial appeared in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on Tuesday, Dec. 22:
There must be parents whose years of raising teenagers to adulthood are perfectly pleasant and without problems. And then there are the rest, perhaps most, who find the experience quite trying and filled with trouble.
Kids are a joy no matter what age, but teenagers have unique abilities to tax parental understanding.
Jim Joros, principal of Hillwood Middle School in Texas, sent letters to parents of seventh- and eighth-graders last week informing them that the practice of "sexting" has reached Hillwood.
For those who are happily ignorant of sexting, it refers to sending explicit images through text messages on cellphones. Girls and boys send nude photos of themselves and others. Researchers say there are indications that it may happen more often among middle school students, when teens are beginning to explore sexuality.
"Please spend time discussing with your child the seriousness of sending, receiving and/or forwarding inappropriate photos of fellow students or anyone for that matter," Joros wrote to parents. He warned that sexting could be a felony.
It's one more way that the digital age has presented whole new challenges. As if teaching your child to have a healthy view of sex weren't difficult enough already. Now their cellphones, which have fast become a staple of teen life, make it even harder.
Of course, parents have to talk to their sons and daughters about this. A survey released Dec. 15 by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project found that 4 percent of cell-owning teens 12-17 say they have sent "sexually suggestive nude or nearly nude images or videos of themselves to someone else via text messaging."
Fifteen percent say they have received such images of someone they know.
Sexting typically takes place between people who are romantic partners or one of whom wants such a relationship, the Pew Center reported. The other typical scenario: One of those people shares the images with friends.
That last part is one more thing that teens and others must comprehend: Nothing that enters the digital world is private, and it can stay around forever. Ask Tiger Woods.
There is tremendous social pressure to participate in sexting, the Pew Center says. "My boyfriend or someone I really liked asked for" photos, one girl said. "And I felt like if I didn't do it, they wouldn't continue to talk to me."
Time after time, other teens told Pew that sexting is "no big deal." That's always been teen talk for "don't get mad at me/grownups don't understand."
The Pew Center also talked with the parents of teens in its survey. The really bad news is that even strong action like periodically looking through the contents of their child's cellphone doesn't help. Teens whose parents do so are no more or less likely to send or receive nude or nearly nude images on their phones.
Still, something else apparently helps, according to the Pew Center. Teens whose parents restrict the number of texts they can send in a given period are less likely to use their limited texts for sending sexy images. Apparently, finding out who will be at the mall or at the party or other such valuable information is more important.

Acting Company Alums Bring a Touch of Broadway to Olean High Stage
Highlights from News in Olean Times Herald
by Tom Dinki Nov. 3, 2016
OLEAN — Tom Alan Robbins stood on the Olean High School auditorium stage Wednesday in front of several dozen students as they sang "Wells Fargo Wagon," part of "The Music Man," a production they'll put on next week.
Robbins led the way, dancing along with students, telling them where to look and offering tips he learned from his years on Broadway in productions like "The Lion King." Make some kind of hand gesture before starting to sing so the audience knows where to look, he told the students with solo lines.
"I see things I've done with them and they're able to hold onto them, and the next time they do the scene you can see it's come a further distance than it was the last time they did it," Robbins said. "It's great to see that growth."
The OHS auditorium was infused with a little bit of Broadway this week, as Robbins and his wife Leslie Geraci, both members of The Acting Company, spent time advising students on acting, singing, dancing, poetry and Shakespeare. The couple were brought to OHS with a grant through the school's Liberty Partnerships Program.
Nick and Lesley Patrone, who run the Olean Theatre Workshop and OHS' theater productions, have used the grant to bring in veterans of New York City-based theater in years past as well. Lesley Patrone said she's seen a lot of enthusiasm from students this week when they're working with Robbins and Geraci.
"The kids have been really excited, of course," she said. "They responded to the fact he had been on Broadway. Everyone was really excited about that."
Robbins said while his wife has been teaching through The Acting Company for years, he had never taught before. It was she who convinced him to come to Olean, telling him teaching forces you to "crystallize" your thoughts and break down what you know to its "essence." "Having never taught before, it is interesting to try and figure out what is useful to a young actor to help them with their performance," Robbins said.
Robbins never got the opportunity to learn from a Broadway performer while he was in high school. He grew up in a small town near Canton, Ohio, far away from any theater centers — perhaps not much different from Olean.
"Just as they do here, we had some dedicated teachers who love theater and who really knock themselves out to put on one or two shows a year and have a drama club," he said. "If I hadn't done that in high school, I wouldn't have ever chosen it as a career."
While Robbins worked with the musical students, Leslie Geraci spent time in the classrooms with students learning the work of William Shakespeare. Robbins said his wife was able to work with students on several Shakespearean plays, including "Hamlet" and "Macbeth" — teaching them the right way to learn and read Shakespeare.
She also helped students prepare for the Poetry Out Loud competition in Olean that's slated for December. The top two performers of that event will go on to compete in Buffalo and could eventually compete in Albany.
Robbins said he thinks passing on what he's learned benefits both him and the students.
"I think teaching helps you solidify what you know, and I think that feeling like you've given something to people makes you feel good about yourself," he said. "And hopefully it's a positive experience for the people who are learning as well."

Factor rings of the Gaussian integers
The original publication is available at http://www.satnt.ac.za/
Whereas the homomorphic images of Z (the ring of integers) are well known, namely Z, {0} and Zn (the ring of integers modulo n), the same is not true for the homomorphic images of Z[i] (the ring of Gaussian integers). More generally, let m be any nonzero square free integer (positive or negative), and consider the integral domain Z[ √ m] = {a + b √ m | a, b ∈ Z}. Which rings can be homomorphic images of Z[ √ m]? This question offers students an infinite number (one for each m) of investigations that require only undergraduate mathematics. It is the goal of this article to offer a guide to the investigation of the possible homomorphic images of Z[ √ m] using the Gaussian integers Z[i] as an example. We use the fact that Z[i] is a principal ideal domain to prove that if I = (a+bi) is a nonzero ideal of Z[i], then Z[i]/I ∼= Zn for a positive integer n if and only if gcd{a, b} = 1, in which case n = a2 + b2. Our approach is novel in that it uses matrix techniques based on the row reduction of matrices with integer entries. By characterizing the integers n of the form n = a2 + b2, with gcd{a, b} = 1, we obtain the main result of the paper, which asserts that if n ≥ 2, then Zn is a homomorphic image of Z[i] if and only if the prime decomposition of n is 2α0pα1 1 · · · pαk k , with α0 ∈ {0, 1}, pi ≡ 1 (mod 4) and αi ≥ 0 for every i ≥ 1. All the fields which are homomorpic images of Z[i] are also determined.

Since the merger of MESS into MAME with 0.162, you reach both systems out of QMC2. But using MESS requires further knowledge, which honestly speaking is very hard to retrieve. In this post I start to write down my knowledge I collected through a tedious trial-and-error phase. I am by far not at the end of my journey, so expect further updates here from time to time.
But what is it about MESS anyway?
Even more than with MAME, the systems that are emulated in MESS are fascinating just to look at. For example, if it comes to my very first home video system, the (in)famous Philips G7000, it is thrilling to look into this time - much more than actually playing these games. In fact, I only played G7000 because Arcades were not affordable for intense playing and my parents were not willing to buy me a cool Atari 2600 system ;-).
|Munchkin - just like on my G7000 at home (click to enlarge)
Take Munchkin: It's fairly hard to play and medium nice, but there are no lives, so if you die the game is over. Compared to other consoles, this really sucked. Nice to see it again on screen after so many years, but certainly no candidate for extensive playing (which is true for nearly every G7000 game).
Setting up MESS within QMC2
- Hash Path: The MAME working directory contains a directory called hash - this is the home for the software lists that you load from out of QMC2. It turned out beneficial for me to specify the hash path within QMC2, so that these software lists load correctly. This can be done at the first start of QMC2 - last option HASH path, or later on in QMC2: Tools/Options/Emulator/Search Paths/Hash Path
- Software list ROMs: In QMC2, the only feasible way for me seems to place the folder containing the software list ROMs in the ROM folder next to the zip file. So if in the case of Philips G7000, the machine ROM odyssey2.zip is in the same folder like the directory odyssey2, which then contains the game ROMs.
If everything is fine, QMC2 loads the MESS Software List correctly and you can start games from here:
|Software List for Odyssey2/G7000 (click to enlarge)
The Philips G7000 emulation is one of the trickier emulations - for some reason you must hit the ScrollLock Button in order to get into the MESS GUI and then, for example, exit the emulation. Without ScrollLock, you just can't get out of the emulation easily. This particularly messy if you are in fullscreen mode. So remember from now on: FN+Backspace is ScrollLock
Vital MESS Configuration Tipps (continuous list)
- I recommend that you check out these configuration tipps machine by machine. This means that you configure these settings in the machine-specific configuration of QMC2. This is where QMC2 really shines.
- Window Mode: in particular for new machines to explore; Configuration/Video/Window - Enabled
- Disable Autosave: Save states tend to drive these machines crazy, so disable them; Configuration/State playback/Autosave off

Moles in the Garden
Garden Moles
When I first saw CaddyShack I thought Bill Murray was a little off fighting that gopher because up until about three years ago we never had a gopher or a mole in our yard. That was then, this is now. MOLES! We do not have gophers in New York, we have moles. Everyday garden variety moles, garden moles. The term 'garden moles' does not mean they eat your garden, they eat insects, bugs, and worms. However, in the process of getting to their food they tunnel all over your garden and the tunnels sometimes loosen your plants and their roots and the end result is dead flowers...from garden moles. I'm thinking of calling Bill Murray to see if he has any ideas on getting rid of these garden moles.
All the work you put into preparing your soil and keeping it nice and rich attracts worms (who make your soil better) which in turn attracts moles. Seems like a lose/lose situation. We have sandy soil and it appears the mulch and soil improvements we've made over the years are successful. Our garden is beautiful and the moles love it!
Grubs are another mole favorite. They'll dig anywhere to get a tasty grub. Grubs are actually one of the mole's favorites, next to worms of course.
Eastern Mole
Moles - the blind rat
Many moles tunnel through grass as well so they are often mentioned when lawn maintenance is mentioned. The Latin name for moles is Scalapos or Scalapus aquaticus...I don't know about the aquaticus part but they are definitely scalpers of the landscape! However in reality it literally means 'blind rat'. You will rarely actually see a mole because they spend most of their time underground. They have tiny little eyes that are actually covered with skin and fur, maybe they are light sensitive as it is known that their eyes are poorly developed.
Their feet are like little shovels to help them dig their tunnels. Outcritters.com states;
Moles are able to dig up to fifteen (15) feet per hour! Digging is most pronounced when the soils are moist in the spring and fall. What happens to all that dirt? It gets pushed out of the tunnels to the surface with those wide front feet leaving a mound, otherwise known as the "Molehill".
It's no wonder there are mole tunnels everywhere! Fifteen feet per hour is a lot of tunnel. Do we make mountains out of molehills? I think not, finding all those tunnels with their mounded molehills is enough to drive you crazy and the size seems like a mountain when its in the middle of your flower garden. Not to mention if you step in one without knowing you can get a good sprain of the ankle as it turns down into the tunnel.
Mole Facts
Moles like wet soil; it's easier to dig and has more worms.
Moles eat 70 to 100% of their weight in food every day.
Moles will fight to the death to defend their territory.
Moles are usually about 6 inches long.
Moles have superior hearing.
Female moles give birth to a litter of up to five.
Moles are active all day and night.
Baby moles search for new territory in early summer.
Male moles are called boars and female moles are called sows.
Moles have an extra thumb next to the natural thumb.
Moles Beneficial Soil
The very worst thing I read about moles is that they are beneficial to the soil! They aerate it. I really don't care how beneficial they are I would really rather they live in someone else's yard. As a matter of fact according to wildlifetrusts.org, moles can be found anywhere except for the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly, Scottish islands, the Isle of Man and Northern Ireland. Not ironically moles are mammals related to the shrew. Ironically a shrew is described as a small, mole-like mouse. Which came first the mole or the shrew (the chicken or the egg)?
I have read in several places that the soil in a molehill (or the top of the tunnel) is very beneficial soil and can be used to grow plants. Amusing factoid since I was trying to grow plants there in the first place!
Getting Rid of Moles
How do you get rid of moles? I wondered if there were any recipes for mole stew or mole soup but since I can't catch the darn things it wouldn't matter anyway, besides you'd need an awful lot of moles since they're so small. I did read they were once trapped for their furs, honest!
If you're lucky enough to have a dog that actually catches moles, read no more. If you're like me on the other hand, and have a dog that just digs up the tunnels all over your yard, you may need some hints.
There are as many products on the market to get rid of moles as there are moles. There are spikes, repellents, poisons, bait, etc. It seems the most effective is the mole trap but you have to sure to place it in an active mole tunnel. They all look active to me so I find this a little difficult to determine. Some say getting rid of grubs will get rid of moles, but what about the earthworms they eat? Do you really want to get rid of earthworms?
Here's a dandy hint from ehow.com, castor oil. Yes, I said castor oil.
- 1. Fill a 1-gallon jug (an empty milk jug works just fine) with warmwater, leaving about 2" empty at the top. You will need the extra space for the next ingredient.
- 2. Add 1/4 cup of castoroil to the water in the jug. Measure this out if you need to. You want to be sure you use enough, but not so much that you gum up your yard!
- 3. Place the cap on the milk jug and shake it gently to combine the water and oil.
- 4. Pour the castor-oil mixture on any molehill you can find. (You will need to use the entire jug, twice!)
- 5. Repeat the process (1 gallon of water with 1/4 cup castor oil on any molehill) so each molehill receives 2 gallons of water and 1/2 cup of castor oil in total. Moles hate castor oil, and will normally move away from it immediately. Try not to smile too hard if they set up camp in your neighbor's yard!
I think they are serious about this. I haven't tried it yet so I really don't know if it works. The same site recommends Bounce Fabric Softener Sheets. If, and I emphasize IF either of these work it would be great because you wouldn't be using pesticides and you wouldn't be killing the mole.
I've also read spearmint chewing gum stuck in a tunnel will scare them away - believe it or not I was gullible enough to try this and of course it didn't work. What method you use and what results you get can be very interesting. As a matter of fact, anyone reading this may be interested in something that really works. Please feel free to share any method you find that at least drives them away, in the Comments section below.
Thanks for reading and happy mole chasing.

Catching a Mole by Hand
If you've had moles in your garden what happened?
Yes sir, I don't see any new runners/tunnels, got my fingers crossed.
Thank goodness we don't have this problem *knocks on wood* but thank you for the chuckle ;)
Tillsontitan, this is a great hub. I just went to Home Depot and bought Mole and Gopher repellent and it works on skunks also. Just sprinkle on the mole runners and water in. I bought a different brand a few years ago and it lasted a long time, and need to check on the one I just used. But should have worked like the other one.
Of course I put they're instead of their!!!!!! What I mean is " Their hearing is better than ours."
Here's what you have to do. You go to the animal shelter and you adopt a little Chihuahua. My husband had him outside yesterday and Sheldon (the dog) kept looking through the grass suddenly he jumped and had a mole in his mouth. Killed it instantly.
Later that day I had both dogs outside the Doc (Springer) and Sheldon. They both jumped in the grass and the Springer came up with a mole. It's fun to see them hunt moles. They're hearing is better than ours and they must hear the moles in the grass.
When the weather gets cold the moles manage to come in the house. The cats take care of the house.
Voted up.
Spent $30 at Pike's Nursery on a Moles Don't Like This Noise machine that is solar powered and we can hardly hear. In the month we've had it, I don't see as many mole holes around my garden. 30 feet radius. We'll see how it goes.
This makes a lot of sense. They say planting a castor oil plant will keep them away. The problem with the plant is that it is poisonous.
The picture caught my attention! lol. This was an interesting read about a frustrating problem. I also loved you honesty, it made me laugh! "believe it or not I was gullible enough to try this" :-).
Shared, pinned, tweeted, up, useful, funny and awesome.
Mary, do be careful what you wish for. My dogs are great hunters, unfortunately, they chase skunks which moved into my back yard and Yeeaaachh! Not fun when they spray the poor pups. We have bunnies and armadillos and a host of other varmits here, too. Hopefully, you won't send us your moles. Best of luck on moving them along.
They keep my dogs entertained! I find this so informative. Thanks!
Thank you for this excellent hub! I've been fighting moles for years. Now, my new puppy keeps trying to dig them out and my yard is filled with holes. I am definitely going to try the caster oil. Thanks!
Hi everybody! I have sprayed castor oil products around the entire perimeter of homes and that is after my customers tried mothballs, peanut butter, gum and a host of other myths. We even purchased a verminator which was $2800 dollars. It's a propane fuled exterminater which probably affected the hearing of the little rascals but did not eliminate them. 15 years of experience has taught us that underground bait is the only expedient and effective method. Traps work but they are labor intensive.
Another thing, they are coming from somewhere. So if your neighbor isn't getting rid of theirs, they will re emerge. Treating the burrow system occasionally will manage the problem, but, they will never dissapear; They like us.
Great information. We have moles also and sometimes our dog digs it tunnels. They really made the part of the yard so soft.
Voted up and more.
I thought everybody knew: just put some moth balls in their tunnel. I don't know if they kill the mole or what, but you won't see them anymore!
We have lots of these critters in our area.
I voted this UP, and will share.
My son was able to rid his yard of moles through his cat. The cat found each one and kept the yard Fred of them. They are hard to chase from your yard. Hope you find a good solution.
I have mole-phers. I'm sure that they combined to form and unstoppable hybrid. Great hub, and I am definitely going to try the castor oil. And maybe the gum too! Just to be safe!
Well, tillsontitan, I'm now dying to know after you plant the peppermint plant, if it worked for you. Also, as a vocal coach, one of my new male singers said his singing is so bad that his moles packed up and left. So if the peppermint fails, find a singer who sings off-key.
Love your writing style and pushing all buttons with a vote up!
If your home depot dosen't carry it you can buy them n line. more expensive isn't better, just a reg cheap gopher poker.
tillsontitan, well written and peppered with humor. I owned a pest control company for many years, sold it to my partners, so I could not help but smile. Can't tell you the countless hours of research and experience I've dedicated to these varmits. The internet is littered with myth and tips which will end up frustrating you and making the mole laugh. Traps work, but are labor intensive. Castor oil is about 50% effective and like it or not, chemicals, if you have a serious problem, is the only effective method. A half teaspoon of "gopher" go down a hole and by tomorrow he is drop dead gone. The real secret is to put the bait about 3 - 4 feet from the hole, in his tunnel, because he will come to close up his hole and end up throwing the bait up. They make a device called a gopher poker, which allows you to probe for the tunnel and then deposit bait there. Home depot carries them here for $20.00. I;ve probably done over a thousand yards and at a cost of $150 per call, it is worth the $20.00. The bait is about $10 and will last the average homeowner about 2 years. A lttle free inside info for your reader.
I loved your article and had to laugh in places, but moles are no laughing matter!
Hope you manage to get rid of them!
Voting up, best wishes Lesley
Hi. Your hub did make me laugh, but I know it´s not funny having moles in the garden because I had them in my last one in the UK. After trying to scare them away with kiddies windmills stuck into the molehills and various other tricks I bought smokes to try and get rid of them but felt so bad that I dug them back up after a couple of minutes. My garden backed onto a golf course and in the end the problem was solved by the green keepers methods of mole control. Voted you up and following.
Oh my my, Mary, dear GF! Are you kidding? We must never allow these guys to get together....OMG....can you even imagine? Think of world peace if nothing else!
lmao.....seriously? poor poor Jim,would be the first to admit, "Yes, my wife is a real doozy......what can I say?"
Oh till...trust me, I think Jim would welcome a sweetie like you with no problem whatsoever...I mean, C'mon girl, the guy lives with ME??? Eileen Woronos would be an improvement!! (go ahead, google, if you don't know who she was) lmao!
I hate to rebut your comment..but quite obviously, it took Larry 45 seconds to know you were the love of his life...no matter what!!
No dount that you and Sunshine and myself could cause the poor guy to scratch his head....but we could also convince him, it's just a bit of dandruff!!!
We're bad...oh, yeah....we're bad.
Till, there was a choice you didn't offer in your poll: barking dogs!
Hi, I remember sitting down the park a couple of years ago and was surrounded by mole hills, all of a sudden I saw all the earth move at the top of a pile and a little nose pop out! lol! I was so pleased it wasn't my garden! good luck and don't forget the chewing gum! lol!
Till....I would say we should write into "Wife Swap,"...but you'd find yourself jumping from the nearest Cliff after 2 days with my precious guy....he's over-the-top hyper/OCD....the kind of guy you REALLY have to love so you don't accidentally shoot him....takes someone like me (and we won't get into that) to deal with him with ease.
However...for you, it would work out great because 2 days with ME and Larry would crawl back home on his hands and knees and kiss your feet and hang on for dear life....and worship the ground you walk on!!! LMAO! Although....I'm sure he does already! You guys have been together since birth, haven't you?
So... it's a strange thing that women can be so much alike...yet have very different relationships.....Yes, we are sisters in many ways. Sunshine uses the phrase, "Sister by a different Mister".....LOL!
Till.....My husband is going to love you! He does all the "outdoor work"....and he really does put a lot of time and TLC into it all. We have over an acre and some days he's out side "playing" until dinner time (it's more enjoyment than work to him) He HATES moles! I guess you would appreciate this. So, I thank you for Jim!! Great hub as always.. PEACE! effer
THAT is such an UGLY creature YUK!!!
hey tilsontitan, I had to smile thinking you were out there stuffing wrigleys down the track holes in your yard. The unwrapped gum is eaten by the little varments and it gets stuck in the intestinal track and they die. That is the theory there. As for earthworms, the moles will eat them but they are more interested in the grubs that just stay in one place and wait to be dinner. Spreadable Grub killer is effective, but only when the grubs are close to the surface of the grass. This happens twice a year. First when the grubs rise after winter slumbering to feed on the roots of your grass, secondly after the adult beetles have laid eggs that hatch and begin to feed on your grass roots before going down deep into the ground for the winter months. So you have two windows of opportunity to kill those little critters. Go to the nearest garden center or call the local extension service to learn about the japanese beetle life cycle in your area. If you are in Maryland for instance, it would be May and late September. Assuming you have moles and not voles. Voles feed on the roots of trees, shrubs, plants and grass. So if you are finding holes in your garden and dead plants....sorry you may have voles too.
This is great and amsuing writing about a subject that devils gardeners everywhere. Knocking on wood, I have not seen any evidence in our gardens, not sure if there are moles or gophers around here, but I see their hills around in parks.
A couple of questions occurred: 1. Was that Wrigley's Spearmint? Did they mean chewed or unchewed? If it stuck to their claws the way it does to shoes, they would leave in a huff. 2. You mentioned they have been trapped for their fur. Would that be maybe the "moleskin" clothing I see advertised? (Just kidding, I hasten to add or someone will think I am seriously stupid).
Keep us posted on this saga please! Up!
If moles honor you with their presence you are stuck with them until they move on. Eradication costs more than it's worth and will damage your garden worse than the moles did. When the lumbricus terrestris population drops, moley will move next door. (Google it).
Moles have never been kept in captivity. Fact. But why would you bother? You'd need to go underground to ever see them.
I think that the moles are finally gone around here. We used to have them pretty bad, so I guess sending them to the neighbor's yard worked out.

text: So I am going make to separate lists for my best of 2013; one for book singles that I read in 2013, the other for book series that had at least one new book released this year. I decided to separate these just because its way too hard for me to separate one book from a series as better than the rest unless its god-awful. I know I am probably missing some but these were the first things that came to mind. I'm including a short recap on my thoughts on each series plus the synopsis for book one in each series. That being said, these are my favorites (in no particular order):

Profitability Dashboard for OmniChannel Measurement Recognized for Industry Partner
DALLAS, Texas – April 14, 2014 – Ignite Sales Inc., the leader in retail banking customer acquisition and retention technology, today announced that its Profitability Dashboard for OmniChannel Measurement has been recognized by Barlow Research's Monarch Innovation Awards.
Ignite's Profitability Dashboard for OmniChannel Measurement is a cloud-based analytics solution that gives banks unparalleled detailed visibility into channel performance allowing banks to measure the financial value of each of its channels. The solution provides key metrics for ROI measurement and serves as a management tool for informed decision making on channel initiatives, including branch and even employee performance measurements, in order to close the gap on untapped profitability.
The Dashboard data is used to increase channel sales effectiveness and profitability while the Ignite service significantly improves efficiency ratios by closing an average of 3.4 products per interaction versus the industry standard 1.2. The dashboards show profits based on product eligibility, captured profits, and compares profitability by channel, by product, and by income type. Banks can measure the value of each channel's actual sales as well as measure the gap between what was sold and what was recommended but has not yet sold.
"Because retail bank customers seek both digital and physical access, channel performance measurement is critical to managing profitability," said Nick Miller, president of Clarity Advantage Corporation and Monarch Awards judge. "Ignite's Profitability Dashboard provides previously-not-available data that enable banks to measure sales, performance, and profitability between and across all channels."
"We are honored to be recognized by Barlow Research and the judges with this prestigious Monarch Innovation award," said Mitchell Orlowsky, CEO of Ignite Sales. "The Profitability Dashboard is unique in the industry. No other product offers the ability to provide performance visibility at this granular level by channel, by sales rep, on what products banks are currently selling, what products they could be selling based on customers' eligibility and spotlight the gap between those two items."
About the Monarch Innovation Awards
The Monarch Innovation Awards are presented by Barlow Research Associates, Inc. Developed to recognize innovation in the financial services industry, the Monarch Innovation Awards are unique and coveted because an independent jury evaluates the submissions. The judges quantitatively score each submission based on uniqueness, stickiness, dependability, ease of use and value. The award is named after the monarch to symbolize the rebirth that results when old formulas and methods give way to new ways of doing things. www.MonarchInnovationAwards.com
About Ignite Sales
Ignite Sales Inc. is changing the way retail banks sell products and service their customers. Ignite's services combine a recommendation platform with powerful analytics that matches products to customer eligibility in real-time at the point-of-sale. American National Bank of Texas (ANBTX), Comerica, Sovereign/Santander, SunTrust, Central Bank and Rockland Trust are just a few of the retail banks that are using Ignite to increase customer acquisition, increase customer retention and optimize profitability. Ignite Sales is headquartered in Dallas, Texas.

Ashland University's athletic department will have Faith Day on Feb. 2, when the Eagle women's and men's basketball teams play host to Grand Valley State at 1 and 3 p.m., respectively, at Kates Gymnasium.
"We're excited to introduce this new event to the campus and Ashland area community," said Ashland Director of Athletics Al King. "The concept comes from Major League Baseball, which has done a splendid job with its Faith Night programs. This is an opportunity for people to see our student-athletes and coaches in an entirely different light. We believe they have a powerful message to share, and this is an excellent forum to bring people together."
At halftime of both basketball games, Eagle student-athletes will share their faith testimonies. After the end of the men's game, the AU collaborative band will play worship songs, leading up to the Faith Day presentation, scheduled to begin approximately 20 minutes after the conclusion of the men's game in the gym. While the band is playing, there will be pizza and beverages for those in attendance.
The presentation will include King, Rev. Joe Maggelet, Ashland University's athletics chaplain and Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) advisor; three Ashland University head coaches, Eagle student-athletes from a variety of sports, and Dr. Carlos Campo, Ashland University President. City of Ashland Mayor Matt Miller will give the closing prayer following the presentation.
Miller also will be the AU men's basketball 212 Club honorary captain for the game vs. the Lakers.
"Faith Day is a celebration," said Maggelet. "Players and coaches are going to talk about their faith on a platform they do not usually get a chance to do. This will strengthen our relationship with the community and our local churches."
Said John Bouquet, National Day of Prayer chairman for the Ashland County Ministerial Association and senior pastor at Bethel Baptist Church in nearby Savannah, Ohio, "AU Faith Day is a monumental opportunity for the faith community and the university to partner by spotlighting student-athletes who are walking out their faith in Jesus Christ. Student-athletes and coaches will be sharing their life verses, the story of their Christian journey and hear first-hand how they live out their Christianity in their daily lives. Faith Day will be a highlight of the season for many fans and athletes of all sports."
Ashland University's men's basketball team is ranked No. 6 in the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Division II coaches' poll, and is 13-0 overall and 6-0 in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. The Eagle men lead the GLIAC by two games just six contests into the conference season.
AU's women's basketball team is No. 7 in the latest Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Division II Top 25 Coaches' Poll, and is 13-1 overall and 5-1 in the GLIAC. The Eagle women are both second in the GLIAC overall standings and in the GLIAC South Division standings.
Ashland's athletic department is one of only two in D-II to have two basketball teams ranked in the top seven in the nation (Indiana, Pa. – No. 1 in women's basketball, No. 3 in men's basketball).
For more information on Faith Day, call the AU athletic department at 419-289-5441.

For Constitution Day I was asked by the editors of the Washington Times to contribute an article on Senator Byrd and the Constitution. This was included along with other articles as a feature on the Washington Times new Pocket Constitution App, which debuted on Sept. 17. It will be available soon at the App Store or it can be downloaded right now from your browser at: constitution.washingtontimes.com for $4.99. Here is my contribution to the new app.
The power in Robert Byrd's shirt pocket
Senator Byrd's main concern over a long career, during which he served "not under but with" 11 U.S. presidents, was that the powers of Congress were steadily eroding during the 20th century and into the 21st. The presidency had become in the minds of most Americans more powerful than the other two branches of government, even though they are co-equal in the Constitution, each with powers to check the others.
Nothing was more important to Byrd than the power of the purse, which resided with Congress. He despised the line-item veto, which gave presidents the power to strike from appropriations bills specific items that did not meet the president's approval. In his autobiography Byrd wrote that during Senate debate on the line item veto in 1995 "I pulled out of my shirt pocket my dog-eared copy of the Constitution, noting that the Founding Fathers never would have approved such a proposal. Congress, I said, had been seized by a 'collective madness.' A power-hungry president would be able to punish a senator and his constituents, I cautioned."
As part of his three-year struggle against this bill, Sen. Byrd became a master of the history of the Senate of the Roman Republic. He saw strong parallels with the ancient Roman Senate and the U.S. Senate. The Roman Senate was the solid foundation of Rome's authority but when its powers were eroded over time by giving up authority to the executive, including the power of the purse; it led toward dictatorship and ruin. The Roman Senate declined — and so did the republic of Rome.
Despite Sen. Byrd's herculean efforts, Congress passed the line-item veto bill in 1996. President Bill Clinton was the first (and only) president to use it in 1997. Byrd's efforts against it did not stop. He and five other members of Congress filed a federal suit against the Clinton administration (Raines v. Byrd, 1997) on the grounds that the line-item veto was unconstitutional. The Supreme Court threw the case out because the senators and congressman had no standing in the case as they were not personally harmed by the law. But the following year in Clinton v. City of New York, the high court declared the line-item veto to be unconstitutional because it violated the clear language of the Constitution that both houses of Congress must pass an appropriations bill and the president has only two choices, to sign it into law or to veto it. Nothing in the Constitution gave the president the option of tinkering with it after passage by Congress. Byrd raised his pocket version over his head at the press conference held when the Supreme Court made its ruling and shouted "God save this honorable court!"
Byrd was a hawk during the war in Vietnam but he became known internationally for his principled stance against going to war in Iraq following the tragedy of September 11. It was, again, a matter of the Constitution, which clearly states that only Congress can declare war. Yet Congress has allowed its war power to be eroded in various ways, going back to the Korean Conflict. The War Powers Act of 1973 gave presidents the power to act first and report back to Congress after the fact. In the Iraq War Resolution of 2002, Congress expanded the president's power to include waging wars not just against hostile nations but organizations or even individuals engaged in anti-U.S. acts of terror anywhere in the world.
Byrd saw the dangerous precedent in the Iraq War Resolution as the concept of pre-emption. Wars against terrorists have emphasized the idea that we needed to attack before we are attacked even if a particular nation is not an immediate threat but might become one.
Sen. Byrd stood on the floor of the Senate on the eve of the war in Iraq and said, "We stand passively mute in the United States Senate, paralyzed by our own uncertainty, seemingly stunned by the sheer turmoil of events." The Constitution does not say how Congress should go about the process of declaring war. Senator Byrd assumed that the Senate and the House would do their duty to be deliberative bodies that debate issues before the nation and pass laws that reflect the public will.
If there is a Constitution Day moral to these two stories about Sen. Byrd's defense of the Constitution and the prerogatives of the Senate, it could be that we ignore our duties and responsibilities under the Constitution at the peril of the nation. Terrorists cannot destroy us, but we can destroy our government, our country and our Constitution by standing passively mute, by not standing up for the constitutional authority of all three branches of government, and by not paying attention to the nation's business.
Sen. Byrd wanted the whole country to reflect on the Constitution each Sept. 17, the day the Constitution was adopted by the delegates assembled at Philadelphia in 1787. There is much to reflect about in these current troubling times. Sen. Byrd saw the fall of Rome as a real event in history that had meaning for us in our own time.

Texas employment law news (WiredPRNews.com) — Company dress code policies help ensure that employees report for work dressed appropriately. A strong policy establishes clear guidelines in simple language.
To create an effective policy, an employer should first define its expectations. For example, a policy may state, "An employee should dress in a way that is appropriate given the employee's duties on a particular day." If an employer has previously addressed specific issues, the employer may wish to include a list of clothing items that are unacceptable, however, any list should be drafted in a manner indicating that other items may be deemed unacceptable, too. Additionally, if the employer plans to impose consequences for dress code violations, its policy should set out the consequences and detail the procedure to address dress code violations. Further, to avoid violating discrimination laws, an employer should draft its policy to generally allow a clothing item worn for religious reasons, even if the item would not be allowed otherwise. Finally, an employer's policy should state that the employer reserves the right to amend or modify the dress code policy at any time.
After the policy has been drafted, an employer should distribute a copy to all employees. An employer should also train supervisors and managers to ensure that expectations are consistent and that any issues are handled appropriately and with sensitivity.
If you would like to speak to an Texas employment law attorney about an employment handbook issue or another employment law issue, please contact the Dallas employment lawyers at Clouse Dunn Khoshbin LLP at [email protected]

Amy Reid with red hair! In this fuck video she uses her perfect body for the power of good! And by good I mean tit fucking, cock sucking, and dick riding! This fine ass pornstar is a triple threat when it comes to pleasure…
Amy Reid is getting disappointed with her freeloading boyfriend but she just can't deny his dick services. Once he applies his charm, her pussy is all his.
Amy Reid takes on two cocks in this hardcore threesome video. It's all about sucking and fucking and sticky facials! She definitely knows how to fuck, and they make an Eiffel Tower out of her pornstar body. They cover her completely with cum and she says THAT's how you fuck two guys. 🙂
A young Amy Reid just starting out, sucking cock balls deep and getting fucked like college girls do. It's an old video so the quality isn't great, but hey it's Amy Reid so I can't complain. It gives it an amateurish quality before she made the big time.
Amy Reid is hanging by the pool in her bikini when two guys scouting locations show up who want to rent the place for a future shoot. She sorta knows them from a previous deal and so they start macking on her all friendly like. She takes to one of them and while the other is exploring the grounds Amy Reid starts giving him a blowjob. When the camera finds them she's eager to kick it up a notch and make her own porn scene right there and get her face covered with cum.
Pornstar Amy Reid strips down from a blue bikini.
This is the intro scene for one of Amy Reid's earliest videos, where she struts around in her blue bikini before the guy enters the picture for some hardcore pussy play. You do catch a glimpse of him worshipping and slapping that fine ass though… and who wouldn't do the same?
Amy Reid enjoys a lesbian experience with a dildo in her ass.
Normally, Amy Reid is the pleasure machine, but in this lesbian video, she is pleasured by a sexy pornstar who treats her pussy like a temple. However, licking and fingering isn't enough for Amy, who uses a glass dildo in her pussy and ass until her cum juice runs like a river.
The sensuous Amy Reid flaunts her amazing tits.
In this porn video, Amy Reid is a sexual goddess, a naked Aphrodite that dispenses pleasure as her whim. This lucky bastard gets the full experience, as busty babe Amy rides his cock with a fury until he explodes a creamy stream of cum down her amazing tits. I admit it, I'm more than a little jealous.
Julian and his buddy run into Amy Reid at the mall and try their best to pick her up. She's a porn girl so she's always interested in 'model' offers. Soon enough a deal is struck and she goes with them for a serious deep dicking.
Amy Reid and Gina Lynn are sexy porn cops who bust up this guy's house to teach him a lesson. He claims police brutality – they claim his cock! These sex officers bring him along in a whirlwind cosplay fantasy that should be the staple of every bachelor party…

Thank you, Merci, Gracie, Grazias, Tack, Danke

Decision made over APRIL supply chain evidence
This information was obtained from Greenomics Indonesia after the forestry-based research NGO was asked about APRIL's response to its findings related to a pulpwood company (PT TRH) which continues to level HCS forests and is also one of APRIL's acacia fiber suppliers, as reported by foresthints.news (Nov 8).
"I was informed by APRIL's Steering Advisory Committee (SAC) that the evidence exposed by Greenomics is indeed correct," Vanda Mutia Dewi, Executive Director of Greenomics, explained in Jakarta (Nov 14).
She added that APRIL's SAC also told her via email that APRIL has cut off PT TRH as one of its acacia fiber suppliers with immediate effect.
The Singapore-based pulp and paper giant formed its SAC with the aim of overseeing the implementation of its sustainability policy.
The Planet Explorer images below, as previously reported foresthints.news (Nov 8), depict the clearing of secondary forests, as classified by the Indonesian Environment and Forestry Ministry, by APRIL's acacia fiber supplier PT TRH in one of its concession locations.
APRIL's response and confirmation
When APRIL was asked directly about this matter (Nov 13), its spokesperson responded the next day (Nov 14) with a short written message stating that "for now, we cannot comment".
Given this response, foresthints.news once again asked Greenomics about the accuracy of the information obtained from its communications with APRIL's SAC.
" I have conveyed to the chairman of APRIL's SAC the two key points of concern, as pertain to the veracity of the evidence uncovered and the severing of APRIL's ties with PT TRH as one of its suppliers, and he responded that he agreed. As such, it is well-confirmed," Vanda pointed out.
As to APRIL's apparent unwillingness to provide a proper response, she emphasized that APRIL had given its technical analysis of this case to its SAC and the relevant decisions were made based on this analysis.
In late January this year, Indonesian Environment and Forestry Minister Siti Nurbaya demanded that palm oil and pulp & paper companies which have declared zero deforestation and no peat exploitation in their supply chains truly comply with their commitments on the ground level.

Brazil 'awakens' as protests over bus fare increase are met with violence
For Brazilian government officials, raising bus fare by $0.10 likely seemed a paltry increase that few would notice. Instead, it underscored to a multitude that their voices weren't being heard. So they spoke louder.
The largest and wealthiest of South American nations has long been plagued with huge economic and social disparities. Those in the top 10 percent, for example, on average earn more in one month than the bottom 10 percent make in three years. And as the average annual salary for a Brazilian worker is just under $9,000 a year, many of those serving in office pay themselves in excess of $400,000, with countless other perks, like free travel -- far cozier than a bus.
Meanwhile, despite advances made in the Brazilian economy in recent years, life for many languishes. In cities across the country spikes in violent crime, corrupt legal system, and poor city management has left a large swath of society feeling out in the rain. And the one service, a point of contact for millions, that seemed to encapsulate all this -- public transit -- was now going to cost more.
iCNN contributor Phillip Viana weighs in:
Brazil is currently experiencing a widespread collapse of its infrastructure. There are problems with ports, airports, public transport, health and education. Brazil is not a poor country and the tax rates are extremely high. Brazilians see no reason to have such bad infrastructure when there is so much wealth that is so highly taxed. In the state capitals people spend up to four hours per day in traffic, either in their cars or on crowded public transport which is of very poor quality...
The young national mid-class, which has always been unsatisfied with the political oblivion, has now "awaken" - in the words of the protesters.
So, when citizens of Sao Paulo learned that bus fares would be raised yet again, from $1.50 to $1.60, with no improvement, it became a rallying point for a slew of other dissatisfactions.
Earlier this week, protesters began to peaceably assemble in Sao Paulo to voice their dissension to the hike. After four days, their numbers swelled into the thousands and spread to other cities, like Rio de Janeiro and Porto Alegre.
That's when the authorities decided to crack down. As protesters carried the chant "No violence," riot police began firing tear gas, pepper spray, and rubber bullets into the crowd. Throughout the evening, reports and images came flooding in of beaten protesters, a photo-journalist being pepper-sprayed, a newspaper reporter bleeding from a rubber bullet hit to the eye.
According to reports, dozens of protesters have been injured and hundreds others placed under arrest.
Some participants say that the recent activism over the bus fare increase, and the violent response it was met with by police, has awoken the Brazilian public to this and a host of other social and governmental failings that have long lurked just below the surface, unspoken of in the national dialogue. If that is indeed the case, only time will tell where Brazil goes from here.

Divas never lose 8-)

Divas never lose 8-)
good singer, is this a song for a certain religion after watching the music video?
Ok, I got to watch the official DVD both yesterday and today. Enjoyed every moment of it as I didn't re-watch the shows since they were broadcasted live.
Here I come back with my little reviews (yes, I know, I haven't finished them last year, don't judge me, I'll probably fix this situation later). This time though, it'll be much shorter: I liked writing full posts but it always took me forever to gather my thoughts, so I guess it's best to just throw my feelings out there in a more spontaneous fashion.
So, what to say about "Keep The Faith"?
-Song-wise, it instantly reminded me of recent super-theatrical ballads like "Rise Like A Phoenix" and "One Last Breath", and I guess I didn't enjoy that one as much at first for that matter (because it put me in a familiar/similar "mood"). However, while listening to it again, I think it was a very solid effort with a well-crafted composition. It's basically pure musical theatre stuff, and I'm not surprised Anri Jokhadze wrote it: over-the-top seems to be his jam. It's very melodic, it's dramatic as heck, it builds up nicely, still the song is quite "heavy" to me: the fact it's very intense and there are lots of things happening makes it hard for me to "digest" it and play it on repeat. And that comes from someone who is a sucker for dramatic ballads. It maybe lacked a little bit of originality, but it was still superior to pretty much 95% of the ballads this year. People were complaining about how repetitive the chorus was... Personally, I don't feel that at all.
Still, I applaud Georgia for re-inventing themselves again. My musical highlights are the ominous-sounding piano of the intro and the bridge allowing Tamara to place a high note while a choir keeps on singing the chorus (I always get goosebumps when that part comes).
-Vocally, Tamara was fantastic. She can sing and her voice has a delightful "roughness" to it. Her performance was faultless to me.
-Visually, it was maybe the most subtle work I've seen from Sacha Jean-Baptiste so far because it's totally not in your face, if one doesn't look at the led screen, one can miss a lot. The color scheme was on point: the song demanded red and black shades. The moving shapes in the background reminded me of blood drops: creepy but accurate as far as the message is concerned. The flames were cleverly used during the bridge, somehow I wish the backing vocalists had been visible, it would have given more power to their parts imo (and they would have served satanic ritual realness too :mrgreen:). I think the act didn't need more visual tricks, as Tamara put on a show herself and the "emotionally-heavy" nature of the song demanded not to get carried away. There is a thin line between tastefulness and tastelessness, which fortunately has not been crossed in this case.
Outfit-wise, Tamara's dress wasn't really my cup of tea but I think it suited the song and went well with her glorious hair.
-Results-wise: I think Georgia were robbed. The moment they didn't make it I knew they had just missed out, and I was right. Her starting position didn't help them, yet they have nothing to be ashamed of. In my personal ranking, they are around the 11th/12th places, which means they just land at the gates of my top ten. As I said, it deserved to qualify and it was one of the best ballads this year to me. The only drawback is that I can't listen to it too often because it's very intense and it maybe lacks an extra spark for me to rank it higher. Good job Georgia though!
I think drama and Diva realness works well inside the bubble, but not with the majority of casual viewers. That is why it is always "divas" whose hype trains crash. And Tamara did not even have a hype. She was an underdog diva.
1 point for its James Bond vibe - Her voice is too nasal for my liking and I don't like her diva-esque and bitch-y attitude.
I am growing addicted to this song lately. However, I am not the biggest fan of her froggy voice. But I really love the song more and more and more.
Well, ::ge is the only country beside::sm which hasn´t send an entry i liked so far, and this wasn´t an exception.
I´m generally a huge fan of ballads, but this was just too theatrical and her voice also wasn´t my cup of tea at all!! I gave this just ::2, and only for the production which was kinda ok.

Beginner and Intermediate Wheelchair Fencing
Saturdays 2-3 PM - Fencing equipment provided
Other times by special arrangement
The following was copied from the International Paralympic Committee Wheelchair Fencing page. The website may be accessed here.
"Wheelchair Fencing was developed by Sir Ludwig Guttmann at the Stoke Mandeville Hospital and was introduced to the world at the Rome 1960 Paralympic Games. Men and women with amputations, spinal-cord injuries and cerebral palsy are eligible to compete in foil epee (men and women) and saber (men) events. Their wheelchairs are fastened to the floor during competition. At the London 2012 Games, 100 athletes will compete in 12 medal events."
Men and women with an amputation, spinal injury or cerebral palsy areeligible to compete in events including Foil, Epée (men and women) and Sabre (men). The official governing body is the International Wheelchair and Amputee Sports Federation (IWAS).For more detailed information on Wheelchair Fencing, please visit the IWAS website at www.iwasf.com.
The Fencing Institute of Texas works with Southwest Wheelchair Athletic Association to promote wheelchair sports.
Southwest Wheelchair Athletic Association (SWAA) and Fencing Institute of Texas have Facebook pages for you to "friend."
We believe that wheelchair fencers and able bodied fencers should practice with each other. Each group has a special set of techniques they develop that are useful to the other. For example, able bodied fencers have the luxury of moving up and down the strip using distance to parry their opponent. The wheelchair fencer is confined to the chair and frame. The wheelchair fencer must learn to use their hand more precisely and in-fighting techniques that not all able bodied fencers practice. When fencing together, both use the wheelchair and frame; both develop their hand-eye coordination to a greater level, and incorportate greater body movement in distance parries!

Expanding your Living Space
Let your indoor party expand to the outdoors. Encourage the kids to play outside in the shade. Enjoy lunch on your deck in August. All are possible when you have an awning with Sunbrella® fabric. And if you want to have the heat of the sun in the winter but have the comfort of shade in the summer, then add a Somfy® motor. Just push a button, and you'll have all the protection you need to cover a room-sized patio or deck in less than 90 seconds. You control whether to enjoy an open-air feeling or shading and privacy with your family and friends. From moment to moment, it's up to you. Installing an awning is like making a low-cost room addition while also adding value to your home.
Energy Savings
An awning will keep your energy costs down by blocking the sun's heat in warmer months. The American Society of Heating and Air Conditioning Engineers shows that an awning can reduce heat gain by 55 to 65 percent on southern-facing windows and 72 to 77 percent on western exposures.
Plus, you can enjoy the beauty of the outdoors since you won't have to close blinds or draw your draperies. Spring, summer, winter and fall, your awning will serve you indoors and out.
How many times have you been chased indoors by blazing sun or a sudden shower? With an awning, that seldom happens, because you have protection from the elements. In fact, if you choose a retractable awning with an optional remote control, you'll hardly need to move a muscle.
UV Protection
Sunbrella® fabric offers cool comfort and excellent protection from harmful UV rays on the sunniest of days. In fact, Sunbrella fabrics have been proven to provide up to 98 percent protection from the sun's harmful effects when used in shade applications. After passing rigorous testing, Sunbrella fabrics earned the "Seal of Recommendation" by the Skin Cancer Foundation, the only global organization concerned exclusively with cancer of the skin. As a result, you know that you and your family can enjoy the outdoors while being safe from the sun.

Hi, I would be glad if any of you can share your experience with Bain's Online Test. Any preparation sources that you found useful, number of questions and time allocated, etc. Look forward to hearing from you. Thank you :)
Bain Online Test
As far as I know, the Bain Online Test (at least for South America office) is separated in two parts: 1/ "gmat type" questions 2/ business case.
The first part includes the critical reasoning, the data sufficiency and the problem solving. There is no secret here. The more you prepare, the faster and the more confident you will be in the test day.
The business case is only mulitple choice questions. The most important thing is to be able to analyze and interpret charts. If you google it, you'll find material to prepare for it.
Hope it helps, if you want pm me,
I just took the Bain online test for SEA office. Thought I would share the info here because I was struggling to find information prior to the test.
Test had 2 parts:
1. One-way video interview - Question is displayed, you get 5 minutes to prepare an answer and 2 minutes to record the answer. 3 questions - one case structure, one general economic climate, one soft skills based on team work
2. 25 MCQ for 50 minutes - Format is quite identical to BCG potential test. I practiced with some sample potential tests and they really helped. The charts are not very clear in terms of scale and there were quite a few math questions based on charts. But overall, the biggest challenge is time. I felt like I was guessing for quite a number of questions but I'm hoping it's not a deal breaker since it's an online test that you can take at home
You should look for online resources on GMAT / McKinsey PST. Work hard on sample tests. As a starting point, PrepLounge has a good coverage of online tests on its bootcamp:
These tests are all about speed & efficiency -> the more you practice the better your result is. However, please balance well your preparation effort. The Personal Fit Interview and the Case Study themselves should take at least 80% of your prep time.
Hey there,
If you let me know what office, perhaps I can provide some advice In London, the onlien test is very different from what Thomas describes.
would be happy to help!

Darker Stormy
This is a Halloween song I actually started in October 2009 but never came back to (it was only a minute long then). It's probably the most procrastination-afflicted song I've worked on so far, due to weeks and months where there was virtually no progress. At least I managed at least finish in time for this year's Halloween though.

I had grand decorating plans over the weekend, but our weekend was so full we couldn't cram anymore anything into it. We spent Friday afternoon at a local farm that has a couple corn mazes, pumpkin patches, a small petting zoo and some fun rides. It was a blast and always is. Definitely a great way to spend the afternoon. But all that fun left me no time to decorate. But, it did leave me with time to create a printable game! We love to play games around here and this Halloween Bingo has been a hit all weekend. I love simple projects like this.
– Halloween Bingo Boards Click HERE to Download
– Board Markers – I let my kids use candy pieces a couple times
– Scissors
– Laminator and laminating pouches – optional
– Halloween-themed scrapbook paper – optional
– Glue stick – optional
– Print the Halloween bingo game boards from the link above. It's a single PDF file, so there's only one file to download. There are five different game board layouts. You will need one extra board than you have players. You'll use one board to create the draw pile pieces.
– If you are going to use the scrapbook paper to line the back of your Halloween Bingo draw pile pieces, use the glue stick to glue the extra game board and the scrapbook paper together. Place the papers back to back and glue.
– Cut apart the squares on the extra board you printed. If you're not going to laminate your boards, you are now ready to play. I chose to laminate the boards for one reason: so my kids could use dry erase markers to mark off their boards and I didn't have to supply candy or other markers every time they wanted to play. It's a bonus that the boards are a little more protected too.
– Turn on your laminator and let it warm up. Place each board inside a laminating pouch, centering it in the pouch. Place the draw pile pieces, one at a time and not touching, inside a laminating pouch. Be sure there is enough space between each piece for the pouch to seal and stay sealed once you cut the pieces apart.
– Run the pages through the laminator, one at a time. Let cool to the touch.
– Cut the draw pile pieces apart.
That's it! You're now ready to play Halloween Bingo! A fun and simple game. Little J was having a great time drawing a card and matching it to the boards. Of course, he liked the version with candy better, but who wouldn't? That boy definitely got my sweet tooth.

It's 1873. A gunslinger thrown out of Fort Laramie hooks up with a veteran prospector and heads for the Idaho territory and adventure.
Buell Mace is two different people. Most of the time, he's patient, laconic, rational, cool-headed, and susceptible, though maybe at a lower level, to all the appetites and passions that inspire everyone else. Every once in a while, though, his guilt at what he considers his killing of his mother in childbirth takes over, and then it's another story. Soon after a spate of guilt-induced violence separates him from his old friend Simon Steele and forces him into the wilderness, he meets ugly, grimy Arley Hill, and the two of them decide to join their fortunes. When Arley asks, "You got a problem with the Army?" Buell predictably replies, "It's not me, it's them." Violent outbursts punctuate their journey to Idaho City—sometimes it seems that killing is Buell's default solution to conflict—where they're plunged into the middle of the running battle between maternal saloonkeeper Emma Traen and her partner, Piers Modine, who's seeking control of a gold mine Emma works with the help of organizer Yung Wing and the Chinese workers he supplies. Modine doesn't mind using Farris Waystead, a disgraced doctor who's still good with a knife, to promote his interests, and it's clear that sooner or later Buell, his judgment subject to both festering guilt and the complicated feelings Emma arouses in him, and Emma's tormenters will go up against each other. Few readers, however, will predict the twist that follows the climactic spasm of violence.
A sturdy oater with more ambitious but less convincing psychopathological overtones.

We could give you a sure fire recipe for crab cakes, but we found that incorporating shrimp into a crab cake does nothing to diminish the rich flavor of the crab and adds excellent texture. Serve with a tartar or even an Asian-inspired sauce; place on a split english muffin and drizzle with hollandaise for brunch; or make tiny cakes and set them out as appetizers. No matter how you serve them, these cakes are winners.
unsalted butter and extra-virgin olive oil
1⁄2 shallot, minced
2 celery stalks, finely diced
2 jalapeño or serrano chiles, diced (optional), or 1⁄2 small green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and cut into small dice
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
2 pounds shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
Zest of 1⁄2 lemon, plus juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1⁄4 cup mayonnaise
6 ounces Dungeness crabmeat, picked
11⁄2 cups fresh bread crumbs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
All-purpose flour, for dredging
Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium sauté pan, over medium- high heat. Add the shallot, celery, chiles, and thyme and sauté until the vegetables are limp but not brown. Add the shrimp and sauté until just cooked through. Transfer to a glass bowl and allow to cool slightly, 10 to 15 minutes.
In the bowl with the cooled shrimp mixture, combine the lemon zest, juice, parsley, chives and dill and mix well. Add the mayonnaise, crabmeat, and bread crumbs. Taste for salt and pepper. Add the eggs and mix gently to combine, making sure not to break up the crabmeat too much. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 3.
Divide the mixture into 12 portions and pat into cakes about 3 inches in diameter. Mix our with salt and pepper in a shallow bowl, then dredge the cakes on both sides. Place a large sauté pan over medium heat and add equal amounts of butter and olive oil. Fry the shrimp and crab cakes until golden brown and heated through, 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
VariatIon: If you want to go the traditional route, omit the shrimp and increase the crabmeat to a scant 3⁄4 pound (meat from about the 1-1⁄2 Dungeness crabs). Decrease the mayonnaise to 2 tablespoons.

A world in white (on New Year's Day)
A very Canadian New Year's Eve: skating on a frozen lake, dodging snowmobiles, champagne in front of a crackling fire, falling into waist-deep snowbanks, pushing stuck cars up icy hills then almost missing the first day back at work due to being snowed in at the cottage. Fun!
