After almost a year of doing monthly predictions, it has now come to this. The one moment in the year where all discussions and predictions will really be put into test. Tomorrow, the Academy announces the nominations for the best in 2015 film. To say that this year is probably the craziest one in years is really an understatement. Too many films which looked locks ended up as flops and vice versa. Then there's that crazy Supporting Actor category with more than ten men in contention. Plus, the category confusion with many of the contenders this year. So before AMPAS president Cheryl Boone Isaacs, John Krasinski, Ang Lee, and Guillermo del Toro announce the nominations, I'll provide my insights as to who can get nominated in all 22 categories.
• The Big Short
• Bridge of Spies
• Brooklyn
• Carol
• Mad Max: Fury Road
• The Martian
• The Revenant
• Room
• Spotlight
10th (but not predicted): Straight Outta Compton
So Best Picture is a clusterfuck this year among many other things. But the way I see it, the category is divided into the upper tier, the middle tier, and the lower tier. In the upper tier, you have your frontrunners and those that benefited from the critics, guilds, and televised precursors season. You have Globe winners The Revenant and The Martian, as well as critics strong performer Spotlight and The Big Short which performed well at the guilds. I think those four are sure things here already.
The middle tier are for those who performed well at some parts, but we have some reservations with the inclusion. Carol was hit or miss with the guild getting in at WGA and at the Globes and BAFTA, but was skipped over at the DGA and PGA. Then there's Mad Max: Fury Road whose resurgence by the critics really helped its chances. But then when everything started to make sense, the BAFTA snubs for Picture and Director happened. On the other side, there's Bridge of Spies by Steven Spielberg who was hit or is with the guilds getting surprise inclusion but missing some key ones too. That said, it leading the BAFTA nods helped its chances. I think all three will still make it here though.
Now this is where it gets tricky. I have both Brooklyn and Room next in line even if both have caveats. Brooklyn didn't manage to breakout well enough aside from the Saoirse Ronan mentions. Even at BAFTA, which should have been its major strength, the film didn't overperform there. Room on the other hand was also expected to both be a critical and televised breakout, yet it didn't happen too outside at the Globes. If anything though, being attached to the potential Best Actress winner can help its chances here. I think that if only one of these two make it here, that can be telling with our Best Actress race as well. But then I won't be surprised if both makes it, or if both gets snubbed here.
Since we have ten spots as a maximum number of nominees here, that last spot can go to the surprise strong guild performers such as Sicario and Straight Outta Compton so don't be surprised if either gets mentioned come Oscar nomination morning. I'd stick with my current nine as the predicted lineup though.
• Todd Haynes, Carol
• Alejandro G. Iñárritu, The Revenant
• Tom McCarthy, Spotlight
• Adam McKay, The Big Short
• George Miller, Mad Max: Fury Road
SPOILER: Ridley Scott, The Martian
The director lineup can be patterned with the "Upper 7" films I mentioned earlier. There's a huge chance that we'll end up with the same DGA five lineup for this year, but I'd like to make it seem more adventurous than that. Truth is, aside from current winner Alejandro Iñárritu, I can see a scenario where the each of the six remaining directors miss. Despite some minor trips throughout the season, I still think that Tom McCarthy is safely in here, as well as Adam McKay. Both have the same narrative in the sense that they're finally being taken seriously in these passion projects. Todd Haynes is both a prediction and a wish here. Despite the DGA snub, part of me thinks that a director like him benefits the most from the Oscar voting being exclusive to only the directors branch. There's always a spot reserved for a respected auteur, and he might be it. But more than that, I'm clinging to the fact that Carol is Harvey Weinstein's main horse this year, and if he can get that unknown Morten Tyldum over Clint Eastwood happen last year, then he better work thrice his ass off for Todd Haynes to happen. I'm not counting on Spielberg to get in this year only because he missed DGA and the DGAs love him more than the Academy. The last spot is a bit tricky between two of respected veterans who are directing big, flashy efforts. In a race of Ridley Scott vs. George Miller, I see passion siding Miller's way with Scott following the path of Paul Greengrass for Captain Phillips after garnering precursor nominations for it.
• Steve Carell, The Big Short
• Bryan Cranston, Trumbo
• Matt Damon, The Martian
• Leonardo DiCaprio, The Revenant
• Michael Fassbender, Steve Jobs
SPOILER: Eddie Redmayne, The Danish Girl
The BAFTA five also seems like its set in stone that it's boring me too much, and I decided to tinker around with it even if this means that it'll backfire on me come actual announcement. Considering that it's finally Leonardo di Caprio's year (RIP memes, you'll forever be missed!), it's basically just a matter of who's joining him. Two sure names you'd hear are Michael Fassbender for Steve Jobs and Bryan Cranston for Trumbo. Fassy, despite the massive failing of Steve Jobs in the box office department managed to hang on for its dear life that this nomination is likely now. Same goes for Cranston who even got in at BAFTA even if odds aren't on his side. Matt Damon will likely get in because he's an American hero and he's starring on a strong Best Picture contender, and knowing the strong connection between the two categories, this helps him. He's likely battling the same spot with Steve Carell who's also on a Top 3 Best Picture contender and if last year taught us anything, it's that we should never underestimate him. Sure, it's lacking that he's missing out on nominations even if the movie keeps on harboring nods, but then this is the Academy we're talking about here. So as I go back and forth between Damon, and Carell, I'd likely end up predicting both and go with a shocking Eddie Redmayne snub. Between him being the current winner, it's not as if he needed a back to back validation nod anymore, and The Danish Girl is the weakest film in this lineup.
• Cate Blanchett, Carol
• Brie Larson, Room
• Jennifer Lawrence, Joy
• Charlotte Rampling, 45 Years
• Saoirse Ronan, Brooklyn
SPOILER: Helen Mirren, Woman in Gold
You have the big three here with Brie Larson, Cate Blanchett, and Saoirse Ronan being mainstay among precursors all season. Cate can enjoy nod #7 this year, as I see no path on her winning this year. In a battle of Brie vs. Saoirse though, I have to say that while Saoirse drew the first blood winning NY, it's Brie who's having the narrative of the Best Actress performance of the year. Since we're talking about nominations here, I'd leave the win talk somewhere else.
As for the last two slots, I initially though that either Rooney Mara of Carol or Alicia Vikander of The Danish Girl can be promoted here due to the loud noise of their "category fraud", but I don't feel like either of them can muster enough support to actually end up here, especially since televised precursors have been scattered with their placements. That leaves me with Jennifer Lawrence earning nod #4 for Joy. She won the Golden Globe earlier this week and while one could credit it to the fact that she's the only Oscar contender here, Joy as a film is still gaining decent support with the guilds, so the film is being seen. Plus, of course there's the fact that she's the world's biggest star right now will help her as well.
In a much competitive year, Charlotte Rampling, despite NSFC and LA wins, would be snubbed this year considering she only collected a BFCA nod among the televised precursors. That said, in a year as open as this one with no strong possible alternate, then she can thank the lucky stars as that means she can still earn an Oscar nomination for it. I'm certain that had Jennifer Aniston's "Cake" happened this year, she would have been competitive for that nomination even more than last year. If there's any veteran though who can surprisingly make it here, count on Helen Mirren in "Woman in Gold", as this could be the category where they can reward her, plus she's a winner and multiple nominee, and this is about Nazis and is produced by Weinstein. That SAG inclusion was telling.
• Christian Bale, The Big Short
• Tom Hardy, The Revenant
• Mark Ruffalo, Spotlight
• Mark Rylance, Bridge of Spies
• Jacob Tremblay, Room
SPOILER: Sylvester Stallone, Creed
I'd say the person who'd get this category correct might as well be called a genius because this is the category that's probably the most headache inducing of them all. Well everyone not named Mark Rylance has a reason to be nervous at 5:30 AM because as far as I know, he's the only one spared from the mess here (now watch him be snubbed!). Aside from him, I'd say Christian Bale can get his third career nod this decade as the acting representative of the Big Short especially if Carellreally will fall short in the end .
Just a month ago, it seems like history will be made as Spotlight is likely the first movie since Bugsy in 1991 to garner two supporting actor nominations. That is until the televised precursor happens. Now both Mark Ruffalo and Michael Keaton are hanging on for their dear lives. That said, I'll be predicting Ruffalo here as he's gaining last minute momentum between his BFCA and BAFTA nominations plus being in a strong Best Picture upper tier movie.
Then there's Jacob Tremblay of Room who only got a SAG nod on top of his BFCA Child Actor nomination. One can take his SAG nod with a grain of salt considering the SAG loves child performances that didn't take off at Oscars such as Freddie Highmore in Finding Neverland to Dakota Fanning in I Am Sam. That said, I'm sticking with Tremblay just because he can be a strong coattail to the Best Actress frontrunner.
Speaking of coattails, I'll go and predict Tom Hardy of The Revenant for the last slot. He's starring with the likely Best Actor winner and he's having a great year starring in the likely two most nominated Best Picture nominees. As for Sylvester Stallone and Creed, sure the Globes reception with his win is convincing that there's passion for him, but he has nothing except Globe and BAFTA on his side.
• Rooney Mara, Carol
• Rachel McAdams, Spotlight
• Helen Mirren, Trumbo
• Alicia Vikander, The Danish Girl
• Kate Winslet, Steve Jobs
SPOILER: Jennifer Jason Leigh, The Hateful Eight
The continuous category confusion here for both Alicia Vikander and Rooney Mara just ended up costing them both momentum for the win and thus, giving us that random Kate Winslet Golden Globe nod just two days ago. That said, count on the three to get in here. And while Vikander is competing against herself here between her two performances, chances are she'd end up getting nominated for her baitier performance in The Danish Girl.
Rachel McAdams is a hit or miss here. On one hand, she can be the ensemble representative just like Christian Bale was for The Big Short especially since Supporting Actor is a clusterfuck. But then she only got BFCA + SAG nods for it. That said, I'm keeping her in especially since that combination has done wonders for performances that came from Best Picture contenders. So unless it's a lone acting showcase movie, then this can be a really strong combination.
Jennifer Jason Leigh makes sense as the fifth slot here, but what gives me pause is upon thinking that only Robert Forster got nominated for a Tarantino directed movie that isn't a Best Picture nominee. Add the fact that Leigh doesn't really have much to do until the second to third hour, and we don't know how they'll respond to this. Personally speaking, I'd rather keep my expectations low about her so if she ends up in the end, I'd be happy. But maybe this Oscar career nod will fail short after all. This veteran slot can easily be given to Dame Helen Mirren who's campaigning a lot and except for that BAFTA snub, she's starring with likely nominee Bryan Cranston which helps her a lot.
• Bridge of Spies
• Ex Machina
• The Hateful Eight
• Inside Out
• Spotlight
SPOILER: Straight Outta Compton
I don't know what to do with that fifth slot, but I guess I'll just go with the flow and consider that Ex Machina PGA nod as a sign of strength. Don't underestimate Straight Outta Compton and Sicario though given their great guild runs.
• Anomalisa
• The Big Short
• Carol
• Room
• Steve Jobs
SPOILER: The Martian
I'm probably the lone person predicting Anomalisa at this point but I guess I'm relying on the writers branch being that quirky group who still gives us surprises every now and then. After all, this is Charlie Kaufman we're talking about here. Only The Big Short seems like a sure thing here and the rest can easily be disposed one way or another (Steve Jobs can be a Sorkin fatigue, Room might not translate outside acting, Carol was snubbed at the Globes, The Martian is more of a visual rather than a storytelling vehicle). Predicting Brooklyn gives me pause considering that Hornby was just snubbed last year for Inherent Vice of all movies to replace it, so maybe he's just not an Academy fan in the end.
• Labyrinth of Lies (Germany)
• Mustang (France)
• Son of Saul (Hungary)
• Theeb (Jordan)
• A War (Denmark)
SPOILER: The Brand New Testament (Belgium)
I'm just going here with the fact that this group is a mixture of the usual themes that this category lovers to award — strong studio backed films (Son of Saul, Labyrinth of Lies), films about children (Mustang, Theeb), and about war (A War). A lot seemed to be predicting The Brand New Testament though which gives me a bit of a pause since they love including comedies in the final nine but only for them to miss the actual lineup (Superclasico, Force Majeure).
• Anomalisa
• The Good Dinosaur
• Inside Out
• The Peanuts Movie
• Shaun the Sheep
SPOILER: When Marnie Was There
Sticking with the Globe five since it's a good mixture of critically acclaimed films and box office performers. But sometimes they'd throw in an obscure foreign animated film here which benefits When Marnie Was There in the lineup.
• Amy
• Cartel Land
• He Named Me Malala
• Listen to Me Marlon
• The Look of Silence
SPOILER: The Hunting Ground
It's a bit weird that this year, a lot has been person documentaries which gives me a pause if all three among Amy, He Named Me Malala, and Listen to Me Marlon will all make it. On the other, these are three different figures so there's that. The Look of Silence is from Joshua Oppenheimer and they embraced him with The Act of Killing two years ago. Cartel Land is that "important" documentary in the lineup, though it is battling the same spot with the likes of The Hunting Ground, and Winter on Fire.
Now as for the rest of the technical categories…
• Carol
• The Hateful Eight
• Mad Max: Fury Road
• The Revenant
• Sicario
SPOILER: Bridge of Spies
• Carol
• Cinderella
• Crimson Peak
• The Danish Girl
• Mad Max: Fury Road
SPOILER: Macbeth
• The Big Short
• Mad Max: Fury Road
• The Martian
• The Revenant
• Spotlight
SPOILER: Bridge of Spies
• The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared
• Mad Max: Fury Road
• The Revenant
SPOILER: Mr. Holmes
• Bridge of Spies
• The Hateful Eight
• Sicario

• Star Wars: The Force Awakens
SPOILER: Carol
• "Feels Like Summer" (Shaun the Sheep Movie)
• "I Run" (Chi-Raq)
• "The Light that Never Fails" (Meru)
• "See You Again" (Furious 7)
• "Simple Song #3" (Youth)

(US), DOI: 10.1007/978-3-319-54777-0_20, pp.159-167, 2017
This paper presents the measurement and model updating of a pedestrian's center of mass trajectory. A mathematical model proposed by the authors is updated using the actual trajectory of a pedestrian. The mathematical model is based on the principle that a human's control capability tries to maintain balance with respect to the pedestrian's center of mass (CoM), independently of the surface type. In this research, the human is considered as a mass point concentrated at CoM. The parameters of the models are updated using experimental identification of the human walking trajectory on a rigid surface. The proposed measurement technique uses a depth sensor, which enable skeletal tracking of the pedestrian walking on rigid or flexible structures. Experiments were performed using a mobile platform with the time-of-flight commercial camera Microsoft Kinect for Windows 2.0. The velocity of the mobile platform is set to maintain a 1 m separation from the pedestrian in order to provide high resolution. The results of the measurement technique allowed the identification of the human's CoM trajectory. The results of the model updating process present the probability density function of the parameters which could be used for modeling the CoM's trajectory of the pedestrian.Keywords:

Russia Denies Entry To 81 Pakistanis
Eighty-one Pakistanis were repatriated from Moscow on Thursday after Russian authorities denied them entry. This was the second group of Pakistanis to have been disallowed entry to Russia in as many days.
Deportation of the two groups sparked a mini diplomatic row with the Pakistan embassy in Moscow lodging a protest with the Russian foreign ministry.
A group of 84 Pakistanis, who claimed to be businessmen, had reached Moscow on Wednesday night for purportedly attending an exhibition, but were detained at the Domodedovo Airport by Migration Service of the Russian Federation on suspicion of visa rules violations. Eighty-one passengers were on their way back from Moscow via Dubai on Thursday night after being deported. Three others were left behind because one of them was unfit for travelling and two others stayed back to attend to him. According to Russian media, the group members had been denied entry for not having enough funds to support their stay in Russia.
An unnamed official of the Pakistani embassy in Moscow was quoted by Russian news agency TASS as claiming that the detained people had the required visas and supporting documents including hotel reservations. Pakistani Mission in Moscow sent a demarche to the Russian foreign ministry over the incident. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said at a press briefing in Moscow that while authorities were working to resolve the matter, the preliminary information indicated that their documents did not meet the purpose of their visit to Russia. In Islamabad, FO Spokesman Nafees Zakaria, while responding to a question at the Foreign Office briefing, said that Pakistani embassy had been trying to assist the group.

He, however, complained about Russian authorities not being very cooperative. The embassy sent an official to the airport late Wednesday evening as soon as the matter came to its notice. He remained there till midnight, but was not given access to the stranded passengers, he said, adding that the official returned to the airport the following morning for making further efforts to help the group.
"We are also going to take up this issue with the Russian Embassy in Islamabad. …We are still awaiting details as to what happened and why these Pakistanis are being repatriated," Mr Zakaria further said. Earlier on Wednesday, another group of 48 Pakistani passengers was returned from Vnukovo Airport to Islamabad via Istanbul. This group has already reached Pakistan.

After summer comes autumn and you know what that means for your dressing. Yes, the days of summer shorts and t-shirts at the drinking bar are over and here come the chilling autumn winds. If you want to stay warm all autumn, we have put together some dress inspiration to get you started. These days you have to be tactical in your approach to layering, it's more than just throwing over an overcoat on a jacket and shirt.
Top Accessory Picks

|Cashmere Scarf
|Carhartt Beanie
In other to master the art of layering you have to pay attention to details. Little tips and tricks that can help you stand out from the average layered Joe out there.
Check out our choicest collections of men's shoes, men's jackets, stunning shirts and shorts, hoodies, suits, and blazers
Accessorize with our ever-growing collections of authentic men's watches, quality hats, scarves and Gloves
Layering Explained: What is Layering?
If you are new to the terminology, you might want to ask: What is layering? This is not as complex as it may seem as most fashion enthusiast or sartorially aware men would have you think. The act of layering is successively placing clothing over another in a systematic way to provide warmth while remaining stylish. Normally each layered outfit can independently stand on it's on.
Step by Step Guide on how to Layer Properly
There are three distinct aspects to layering, each completely capable of standing as an outfit on its own. The first layer is known as the base layer, this layer is the starting point upon which all other layers are seated on.
The second is the middle layer while the third is the top or final layer. All layers work in tandem to either provide warmth during chilling conditions or keep you stylish.
Style advice: Ask yourself, if you remove any layer from your outfit will the rest look equally good? The trick to layering properly is ensuring that each layer is capable of standing on its own if other layers weren't present.
Let's take a look at each layer respectively i.e base, middle and top layer.
The Base Layer Clothing
The base layers are often made up of lightweight garments, serving as the starting point unto which all other layers rest upon. Whether you are layering for formal or casual wears you need something light at first to start it all off.
Most people start off with a casual shorts sleeve or long sleeve as the base layer. This has the advantage of helping you still look good when you get warm and need to take off all other heavier layers. However, you would want to choose a long sleeve over a short sleeve if you want the base layer to provide a little warmth in chilly conditions.
For formal attires, use cotton or oxford shirt over a synthetic shirt because cotton blended materials are breathable and can ensure you are well aerated with heavy clothing. Synthetic t-shirts can extremely become too hot within; this can make you very uncomfortable. However, there are cases when synthetic bases layers can come in handy.
Top Formal Base Layer Cotton Shirts
|Polka Dot Print
|Mocotono Oxford
For casual base layers, think polo shirts or a regular t-shirt. The collars of a polo shirt can look great if they are well tucked in. Bear in mind that the collars will always be visible no matter how hard you try to hide it so is imperative that you choose the right color of polo shirt to act as a base layer.
Top Polo Shirts: Casual Base Layer
|Polo Ralph Lauren
The Middle Layer Clothing
The middle layer sits directly on top the base layer. It's the second layer clothing and the most important of the three layers. For the most part of the day, you will be sitting with the middle layer, so it's important that you don't mess this aspect up. Check out some style options below for some inspiration of what to work with.
Just adding an additional shirt on top your base layer t-shirt will do for a casual look for the weekend. This type of middle layer is not the most warmth but most guys use it anyway. A denim shirt over a regular white shirt can work wonders. If worn rightly, printed shirts can serve the same purpose as the denim.
Top Picks
|William Cashmere
|State Cashmere
For very cold conditions, use a sweater or a zip-up hoodie over the base layer t-shirt. This middle layer combo is appropriate for casual settings. A middle layer sweater over a base layer polo will add warmth and style because of the fabric and the many color options of a polo and sweatshirt. Natural fabrics like wool and cotton are highly recommended here to help wick sweat away from the body.
For office or formal attire, wearing a sweater over a button-down shirt can make you look sophisticated and unique.
Apart from a sweater, a nice alternative would be a knitted jumper jacket. They are a very nice autumn layering piece. Natural fabrics with neat are best because of the breathability of the fabric. Knitwears are quite heavy, so you might want to use something a little less heavy as the top layer unless if you are really preparing for some pretty cold temperatures.
Top Picks
Blazers look really cool as middle layer clothing during autumn. They are popularly worn over a shirt and under an overcoat by most sartorially savvy gentlemen. It's the choice clothing combo for bankers, financial business gurus and Wall Street experts. It's a no-brainer combination.
The Final/Top layer Clothing during Autumn
Deciding whether or not to use a third layer can depend on a lot of things. Sometimes it might just be used to fight off the cold while most times it might just form part of your dress assembly. As long as you have gotten the basics right you can go ahead and experiment with a third layering.
The beauty of it is that they are flexible and can be adapted although the day as the occasion demands. The morning might have started with a miserable cold but as the day progresses, heat might have picked up and you will need to remove top layers leaving inner layers that can still look equally as good.
In addition to layering, accessories like scarves and a fedora hat can match in seamlessly if combined rightly. For the autumn season, a good cashmere scarf and a nice fedora hat for men can be the accessory addendum that polishes of a well-layered dress combo. As regards to the right belts to wear, I'd stick with the regular black and brown belts and try as much as possible to match them with my shoes.
Style tip: For the scarf and hat accessory, try using a dark or black knitted scarf and hat. These colors are very versatile and will match well with most outfit combination.
Finally, the most popular used top layerings are jackets and overcoats. You should pay close attention to the kind of jacket or overcoat you buy since they are quite expensive to purchase. Look for jackets or overcoat that are versatile and can match most of your dresses in your wardrobe. Unless you intend to match particular dress combos you can experiment with other less versatile overcoats and jackets.
Top Third Layer Choices
|Legendary Whitetails
For casual outfits, a weighty bomber jacket will do just fine while formal attires would require outwears that fit in formally. Think trench coats, pea coats and overcoats over a blazer or suit. However, ensure that the overcoat are tailored to fit with enough space within for the middle and base layers.
Men's Layering Inspiration
Smart look layering Style Examples
Smart layering refers to formal layering best suited for the office environs. The best top layering to use are overcoats either trench or pea coat style. Sometimes a duffle coat might be considered. The major style tip to highlight is that the overcoat must be longer than the blazers. Check out the style inspiration below for examples of smart layering, notice how each layer can stand out independently from one another.
Casual look layering Style Examples
For casual layering, as discussed above the best options for a top layer are bomber jackets and hoodies. Why not breaking the bank, there are good zip-up hoodies that are appropriate for casual layering. Mix thing up with a denim jacket, a stylish jeans trousers, and experiment with a casual hat accessory.
Smart-Casual layering Examples
Smart Casual is a blend between formal/smart and casual outfit. Pulling off the smart casual outfit can be very tricky. Attempt it only if you know exactly what you are doing. You can start with a cotton white shirt as the base mixed up with a knitted jumper jacket and dark blue jeans. Combine with a versatile overcoat to finish off the smart-casual look.
How to Layer Clothing During Autumn in a Nutshell
- Normally you only need three layers although some people can opt for more.
- Keep thing simple. When it comes to layering try not to go overboard as this might make you look sloppy.
- There are three main layer levels i.e. Base layer, middle layer and final/top layer
- The Base Layer. This is the layer unto which all other layers seat. Your starting point. Pick simple clothes with enough breathability.
- The middle layer. The middle layer seats directly on the base layer and is home to heavier clothing than the base.
- The Final/Top layer. The top layer crowns the autumn dressing up. It seats directly on the middle layer. This is where Overcoats like trench coats, pea coats, duffle, jumper jackets and hoodies are useful.
- Finally: When layering for autumn make sure you layer in such a way that the layers can stand on their own and still look good. Use accessories like scarves, homburg hats or sunglasses as the case may be to spice things up.
In conclusion
Autumn comes with cold mornings, warm afternoons and cold evenings, this presents the best opportunity to practice layering in preparation for wild weather swings. Consider the materials you will use for layering, synthetic fabrics might not offer much breathability, this will make you get hot very quickly. Use them for extreme cold conditions. Make sure you are going to look equally as good when you take off that which you intend to remove later in the day.
Here you have it, go on with your layering and still look good.

To achieve your career goals, there are three main things you need to do: prepare a career map to obtain your goals, be able to communicate your qualifications, and network in your targeted profession.
- Create a "career map" as you think about your next career move and learn as much as you can. After you have researched specific occupations and decided on your goals, you need to research. Identify credible sources of information for your target profession and identify the academic requirements and experience you will need for the job you want. Research UMGC's career-focused undergraduate and graduate programs. Make a "gap analysis" after you've identified the skills experience and knowledge you already have that you would need for your future career. A gap analysis will help you figure out what you still need to learn and do. Make a plan to close those gaps to ensure you can meet the requirements and expectations of your target profession. If you're changing careers, make sure you plan for a way to gain experience in your new field before you graduate.
- To communicate your qualifications, think of what value you can bring to your profession and be able to prepare a resume that can capture an employer's attention in 30 seconds or less. Be able to give a one-minute "elevator pitch" about yourself. If appropriate, develop a portfolio of your work and be prepared to articulate your value in a job interview.
- Network with others in your chosen field. This is the most important factor in any job search or career change. Have a robust LinkedIn profile or other professional profile. Conduct informational interviews with people who have the kind of job you want. Identify people and professional associations that might help you to broaden your professional knowledge. Get a mentor, someone who's been through the kind of experience you're going through, to help you with your journey. You can access UMGC's mentor program by logging onto CareerQuest and selecting "Get a Mentor" from the left menu bar.

A U.S. diplomatic cable released by WikiLeaks says that Invisible Children, the non-profit that created the viral video "Kony 2012," once tipped off the Ugandan military about the whereabouts of a former child soldier.
Later, Komakech became wanted by the Ugandan government for allegedly helping form a new rebel group, Foreign Policy reports.
In a statement e-mailed to BlogPost, an Invisible Children spokeswoman confirmed that it had spoken to the Ugandan government about Komakech, but would not say whether it tipped off the government to his whereabouts.
Invisible Children did say, however, that it severed ties with Komakech at the time because he was "allegedly involved in activities that could be jeopardizing the lives of civilians and putting the organization and its staff at risk."
The cable, sent on June 11, 2009 and released last year, describes Komakech's involvement in a rebellion in northern Uganda organized by a rebel group called the Peoples' Patriotic Front (PPF), which was reportedly "stockpiling weapons in the districts of West Nile."
In early 2009, the Ugandan army arrested a number of people believed to be involved in plots by the PPF, including Komakech, according to Ugandan daily New Vision.
The U.S. cable says of Komakech's arrest:
The latest plot was exposed when the Government received a tip from the U.S. non-governmental organization (NGO) Invisible Children regarding the location of Patrick Komekech... Invisible Children reported that Komekech had been in Nairobi and had recently reappeared in Gulu, where he was staying with the NGO. Security organizations jumped on the tip and immediately arrested Komekech on March 5. He had a satellite telephone and other gadgets, which were confiscated when security forces picked him up.
Komakech is currently facing treason charges, along with other alleged PPF members, according to Foreign Policy.
In a 2005 piece, WorldMag.com, a Christian site, provides background on Komakech's life as a child soldier:
Patrick Komakech was a quick-witted 9-year-old living in northern Uganda when he became a soldier. [He was] abducted from his primary school in Gulu by rebels of the terrifying Lord's Resistance Army (LRA)...
On the day of his abduction, LRA rebels killed two of his uncles and shortly after, his father. Out of 600 boys at his school, the LRA took eight. During his first day in captivity, the LRA forced Mr. Komakech to visit his family homestead where he saw his dead uncles, other family members abducted and tortured, and his mother beaten unconscious.
Komakech quickly rose through the ranks of the LRA, and soon because the personal bodyguard of Joseph Kony, the brutal leader of the LRA, according to WorldMag.com.
After 10 years, Komakech finally managed to escape the LRA and soon started working with Invisible Children, helping the non-profit run an educational support program for former child soldiers, the Christian news site reports.
Invisible Children confirms that Komakech worked with the non-profit, but says that it supported him in "his personal recovery and academic development."
In the weeks after "Kony 2012" was released, Invisible Children came under the microscope, receiving widespread support as well as criticism.
One criticism was that the non-profit worked too closely with the Ugandan government in its efforts to catch Kony.
The Ugandan government has been accused of a number of human rights abuses.
At the time, Invisible Children said that "none of the money donated through Invisible Children has ever gone to support the government of Uganda." But it also called the Ugandan military "a necessary piece" in activities to fight the LRA.

Microsoft to issue Windows, SQL Server updates
Microsoft said it would repair vulnerabilities in SQL Server and Windows that could allow an elevation of privilege, spoofing and remote code execution.
Microsoft plans to issue four updates this week to repair flaws in Windows and SQL Server that could be exploited to conduct spoofing attacks and execute code remotely.
In its advance notification issued last week on its TechNet site, Microsoft said the flaws affected software in Windows, SQL Server and Exchange Server. The bulletins have been rated important by the software maker and will be issued Tuesday afternoon as part of Mircosoft's Patch Tuesday bulletins.
The flaws are in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine and Windows Internal Database Service Pack 2. Microsoft said the Windows Server 2008 server core installation is affected by the updates.
Bill Sisk, the response communications manager for the Microsoft Security Response Center, (MSRC) said the update will include improvements to the infrastructure of the Update Agent. The new agent will be improved to shorten the length of time it takes Windows Update to scan and receive updates.
Last month Microsoft issued three updates to address critical flaws affecting Bluetooth, DirectX and Internet Explorer. The software maker also issued an update to correct a problem with the System Center Configuration Manager 2007, which was blocking some updates.
Microsoft will also conduct a webcast about the bulletins on Wednesday at 11 a.m. PST.

Security is a major concern in many offices, but it doesn't have to keep you up at nights. There are a number of easy to understand security solutions that you can implement to keep office documents and other sensitive items safe. Protect yourself from threats both inside and outside your organization with these simple tips.
A good antivirus program is often the best way to protect your documents. Antivirus suites can be installed not only on desktops and laptops, but also on mobile devices, printers and other pieces of office equipment. In addition, documents that need to be transmitted securely can be protected by implementing an office-wide encryption protocol that all employees understand.
It may seem that storing your documents online is inviting lapses in security. However, documents stored in the cloud are generally quite secure as long as proper precautions are taken. A good cloud storage program allows you to password protect documents as well as assign access to only the people you want to see them. Further permissions can also be set, designating who can save the document, who can edit and so on.
Click here for help developing a comprehensive plan to protect your documents at work.

Shards of severed suns are scatter
All across the view
A canyons scorching spire flare
Up from under you
I see you on your skull marked step
Your venom sword in hand
From your human throne you rise
Upon your minions stand
And I the knight from the east
Of this canyon wide
Stare across a challenge
With insult there implied
My armor bright and silvered
At least in my own eye
To match the dour tones
Of your howling cry
But then it fades and I return
My sanity restored
I stare at you a softening girl
Me without a sword
Did you see me, too, that time?
See me with armor black
Were you the silvered one
With the sunrise at your back?
But we just look aside
Cough and walk away
We can talk about this later
Always another day

The Story of Me: Part 1
I have been struggling with whether or not I should put this out in the open for some time now. What I am about to write is about me, only a different me. One that is so far removed from myself today, something for which I am very grateful. I always want to tell the truth on my blog. I want to write and not hold back. This blog is for me: to remind me of where I have come from, what I have gone through, and what I will experience until my time here on this earth is up. I write about the funny stories of my past and present, but I also write about deeper, sometimes darker times in my life. This story details the darkest.
I tried my first drug when I was 11-years-old. I remember that the plan that night was for all of us to pitch in five dollars for some beer. I know: what the hell is an 11-year-old doing drinking beer? I hung out with older people, but they were not old enough to know better to be careful, to watch out for younger, impressionable kids.
When the beer didn't arrive, I got anxious. I thought I had lost my five dollars, and some of the people I was with were acting a bit secretive. We were moving from dingy house to dingy house, and I was just following, not really paying attention to exactly what was going on around me. Maybe that was my problem.
It was starting to get dark. We were at a some guys house when I was asked those fateful words that would change my life for the next few years: "Have you ever tried acid?". Acid? I didn't even know what that was. I had never even heard of it. I shook my head. The older boy whose house I was at placed a small tab of paper on my tongue and told me to suck on it. I didn't even question it.
After a while things started going very fast. My brain would not stop going around in circles, things were fuzzy. I didn't know what was happening to me. It was dark and scary. An older girl asked me to come over to where she was standing and she kicked me. Hard, in the crotch. I thought I was dying from the inside out. Someone poured an entire bottle of coke over my head and it got into my eyes. I felt blind. I wandered around the streets all night, eventually sleeping in a park until I was ok to go home.
I smoked hash for the first time on my twelfth birthday. We hot-boxed the car and I went home and ate a popsicle. I was so high that I had orange drool hanging from my chin and I didn't even know it.
Eventually it became an everyday occurrence. I would smoke weed before and after school when I was in high school. My drug of choice was acid. I started to skip in the 9th grade, but not enough to get me into any real trouble. In the 10th grade I skipped over 200 times. That was essentially my whole year. When I was in class I had to ask a friend to pen mark the lines on my paper because I couldn't see them. My teacher would ask who was smoking the stinky cigars. It got to be too much to handle, to pretend like I was normal everyday, and I quit going to class. No wonder I got expelled.
A 'friend' of mine gave me a joint one day and told me to enjoy. I should have known better. People who do drugs don't just give them away for free. I was naive. So I smoked that crack, unbeknownst to me. I had to go shoe shopping with my mom afterwards and I kept nodding out. She kept asking me if I was sick. Enjoy indeed. That bastard was trying to get me hooked. Thank god it scared me too much to want to try it again, but it could have gone the other way as well. In a heartbeat.
Drugs made me paranoid. So in order to curb my paranoia, I did more drugs. The cycle is a vicious beast. I quickly spiraled into a deep depression, and everyone saw the change in me, including my doctor. She recommended to my mom that I go to a 'facility' for problem kids, one that would be nurturing and help get me back on my feet. That facility was in the dark basement of a big hospital; one where we got locked into our rooms every night and were not allowed to leave the floor. It was a psych ward. I did not belong there. People there were seasoned heroin users, some were veteran pathological liars. Kids. Like me. Many of them were on so many meds they could barely speak. I was not. I was completely and utterly aware of my surroundings. I rebelled. We were not allowed any sharp objects and there were no mirrors. Somehow we got a hold of a safety pin and some ink. I wanted a tattoo. That guaranteed a swift exit from that place as I broke an important rule. I would have broken it a thousand times in order to be free from there.
But I was only home for a little while after that. My sister and I left and moved to a city four hours away from my parents. We couldn't get jobs. I was 15-years-old. We ended up on welfare. We were hungry a lot of the time. We hit rock bottom when we were expecting a welfare cheque and it never arrived. We called the welfare office and they said that they had sent it. We were making our last box of Kraft Dinner, wondering what we were going to steal later that day in order to eat, when we received a phone call telling us that someone had stolen our cheque out of our mail box and was trying to cash it. That was the last straw. It was time to go home.
End of part 1.

A mobility strategy that centres on using virtualization to deliver desktops, apps and data to worksites has saved construction company John Holland millions of dollars, according to David Banger.
The company's CIO yesterday told the Citrix Mobility conference that a 2013 review across the organisation led to a greater emphasis on allowing employees to get access to data "on any device at any time".
Before shifting to "virtual infrastructure" the company had provisioned servers in a very traditional manager for each job site, Banger said.
"[The] approximate cost was between $5000 to $25,000 per server," the CIO said.
Implementation of the 'any device, any time' approach centred on a suite of four Citrix products, Banger said: Citrix Receiver, XenApp, NetScaler and GoToTraining
"What we're seeing across our enterprise is the improvement of around about 20 processes and we continue to learn as we see people take up the technology," the CIO said.
"With these hundred jobs in very remote locations, we enabled the ability for our people to truly collaborate and [have] a high level of visibility – not only for ourselves, our management, but also our partners and clients," Banger said.
"It's really important that we are able to demonstrate project progress and some insight into the work that we've been doing."
John Holland has boosted client satisfaction, improved employee engagement and saved up to one to two hours per employee in some cases.

Picking Abby up from an activity yesterday after work. I park and go get her, we walk back to the car and she tells me the back passenger tire is hissing.
Sure enough there's a very audible hiss coming from the tire.
Ruh Roh.
So it's 8.6 miles to the nearest tire place on a rapidly leaking tire.
In the rain.
In rush hour.
And we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.
Sure enough, almost immediately after we start moving, the tire pressure light comes on, telling me what I already know. Great.
So we call ahead and zip through late rush hour traffic, including people that can't drive because it's raining, and make it over to Costco and manage to make it to the tire center while its still open on one very soft tire.
An hour and a half later, after having a bite at Costco and doing some needed shopping, the tire is perfectly patched, refilled, and a very long screw is removed from it and the other tires are all checked and topped off.
All covered by Costco's tire warranty and service policy, which is amazing considering it's not the tire's fault, and we're good to go.

Disney has surprised many with how well its new live-action remakes have gone down with both The Jungle Book and Cinderella being strongly received and Beauty and The Beast finding mostly positive praise. But even so, I wasn't sure how a live-action take on Dumbo would go over, especially with Tim Burton, who has been inconsistent (to say the least) in recent years – considering 2016's Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children and 2014's Big Eyes.
But I have to say, I'm quite surprised with the warmth and sincerity found in this initial Dumbo teaser trailer. From the use of Aurora's new rendition of the original film's classic Oscar-nominated song "Baby Mine", to the gorgeous old-timey circus set-pieces, decor and costumes, this feels authentic and true to the time and spirit of the original. To those who were understandably skeptical about Burton treating this like he did Alice in Wonderland, you can breathe a sigh of relief – for now.
The trailer showcases clips featuring Colin Farrell, Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito, Eva Green, as well as newcomers Nico Parker and Finley Hobbins. We're interested to see how the film handles some of the more iconic sequences of the original when Dumbo hits theaters on March 29, 2019.
Enjoy the trailer below.

Utilizing ET wealth: building a new world
by Gregory Anderson
|To save the planet, however, means reaching creatively beyond the planet.
On the theory that every human should have a decent physical life and the opportunity to pursue interests and goals and happiness, one fundamental challenge of this century must be to raise the standard of living of the vast majority of mankind. By the end of the twenty-first century, most people should be living at a level comparable to that enjoyed by middle-class Americans today.
That would seem to be a challenge doomed to disaster. The alternative, however, is terrifying, and may well result in the abandonment of democratic values in a world obsessed with survival and security. If the gods tire of protecting humanity from our worst impulses, failing to meet the challenge—or at least attempting to meet it—could result in much more than the rejection of a particular political philosophy.
There is a way to proceed. Based on current international law, building a framework for broadening the human economy to the point that it is large enough to begin to reshape large parts of the planet can be done. To save the planet, however, means reaching creatively beyond the planet.
Critics of the space program have traditionally argued the money spent there could better be applied to Earthly concerns. Besides the fact that the money is not shot off into space—it is spent on Earth, paying salaries of good jobs for engineers and scientists, among other uses—such a position is shortsighted. Earth is a sphere; it therefore has finite volume and finite resources. Some resources can be renewed, but others cannot. To endure beyond some point as a vibrant civilization, humanity will need to move into space. The billions in China and India working to have better material lives put added strain on Earth's resources and environment. Many more nations besides those two are trying hard to develop their societies, as well. The point at which we will need to look outward may be closer than we realize.
Humans now travel to space regularly, have walked on Earth's moon, and have sent probes to explore everything in this solar system from comets and the tiny moons of Mars to mighty Jupiter and the Sun itself. Earth is still the home of mankind, but it no longer contains the alpha and omega of the human experience. Beyond home there are paths to other places; whole new continents exist across a deep, black sea.
|To jump-start the essential work of the century, therefore, meshing the Information Age and the Space Age is necessary.
Early in the twenty-first century, however, using the resources of our home solar system will be extraordinarily expensive. So far in the Space Age, the only business that has even seriously attempted to make a profit directly from space operations has been the Earth orbital satellite industry. It has grown to handle communications of various forms—television, telephone, computer networks—and the imaging of the Earth and its atmosphere. Given the cost of operating a spacecraft, the only resource that could be profitably returned from space has been information. Valuable information.
To jump-start the essential work of the century, therefore, meshing the Information Age and the Space Age is necessary.
The law that currently governs human activities in the Solar System is the 1967 UN Outer Space Treaty. Written at a time that saw only two governments mounting substantial space programs, and during a cold war between two philosophies that had few points of agreement and many opportunities for desperately dangerous confrontations, the Outer Space Treaty is not up to the new realities of the new century. The underlying principles of the treaty, however, are useful. One such principle holds that space is to be explored and used "for the benefit and in the interests of all countries." It also speaks of the space beyond Earth as "the province of all mankind." That phrase suggests more than an area to be owned; it envisions the solar system as a vast arena in which humans can act. Upon that rather romantic notion a new legal structure might be built.

PokerStars explains how it combats cheating in its newest Inside PokerStars video.
Director of Corporate Communications, Eric Hollreiser introduces the video in a blog post, explaining that "the vast majority of poker players are fundamentally honest. But when you have more than 67 million registered players, with as many as 400,000 playing at a single time, there are going to be some who don't play fair."
Two members of the team devoted to detecting and preventing cheating explain that evenattempts to cheat are surprisingly rare. They analyze all player reports which point to potential cheating, the most common allegation being collusion—where two or more players are sharing information and acting together.
The reported incidents are analyzed by expert players, along with the players' playing history to detect any "abnormal playing patterns." Technical analysts check whether the alleged colluders are operating from the same physical location, using the same hardware and software etc. The Game Integrity Team that carries out this work consists of over 50 poker playing specialists.
Hollreiser states that a full 20% of PokerStars employees work in the areas of "protecting the integrity of the games and ensuring compliance with regulators."
No technical information that could help potential cheaters is given out in the short video, but PokerStars explains that cheating by using "bots"—software that automates poker decisions—is countered by systems that look for "non-human behavior patterns."
My take: PokerStars has clearly taken the responsible positon at being on the front lines in the war on online poker cheating, but this war is almost like the war against ISIS and other terrorist groups in the real world. There is only so much they can do, and the online poker cheats are as smart or even smarter than those security experts working for PokerStars and the other sites. So the bottom line is: all online poker players are always at some risk while playing poker online.

The Department of Defense (DoD) Special Compensation for Assistance with Activities of Daily Living (SCAADL) program provides Service members, who have a permanent catastrophic injury or illness incurred or aggravated in the line of duty on or after September 11, 2001, compensation to offset the economic burden borne by their primary caregivers providing non-medical care, support, and assistance.
Permanent and catastrophically ill and injured Service members and/or their designated representative can voluntarily apply for SCAADL compensation and should reach out to their primary care managers, care coordinators, or Service Wounded Warrior Program staff to discuss eligibility requirements for receiving this special compensation.
For the Service member to be eligible for SCAADL compensation, DoD policy requires the Service member meet all of the following conditions:
- has a permanent catastrophic injury or illness incurred or aggravated in the line of duty
- has been certified by a DoD or Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) licensed physician to be in need of assistance from another person to perform the personal functions of everyday living
- has designated a primary caregiver who provides assistance with activities of everyday life or supervision and/or protection
- has been determined to require hospitalization, nursing home care, or other residential institutional care in the absence of caregiver assistance
Eligible Service members, after being certified by a DoD or VA licensed physician to have a permanent catastrophic condition, undergo an assessment to determine the level of assistance required and the level of support provided to perform the personal functions required in everyday life or for constant supervision to avoid harm to themselves or others. Following the evaluation, the Military Department overseeing the respective SCAADL program determines whether the member will be approved to receive SCAADL compensation.
Once approved, the amount of SCAADL compensation a Service member receives is based on a three-tier system that reflects care required by the Service member and provided by their caregiver:
- Tier 1 reflects a need of at least 10-24 hours of caregiver services per week
- Tier 2 reflects a need of at least 25-39 hours of caregiver services per week
- Tier 3 reflects a need of at least 40 hours, or full-time, caregiver services per week
The amount of monthly compensation is based on the Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics wage rate for a home health aide in the Service member's geographical location. For example, a Service member receiving a Tier 1 compensation level in Montgomery, Alabama may receive a different amount of monthly compensation than a Service member receiving a Tier 1 compensation level in Los Angeles, California due to the different wage rates in those geographic areas.
To access the current SCAADL calculator, visit DoD's Military Compensation page.
A Service member may continue receiving SCAADL compensation until the earlier of: (1) 90 days after discharge from Military Service; (2) when a DoD or VA licensed physician determines the Service member no longer meets SCAADL eligibility requirements; (3) when the Service member begins receiving VA Special Monthly Compensation (1114(r)(2) of Title 38, U.S.C); or (4) when the Service member's caregiver begins to receive compensation through VA's Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers Program.
VA Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers Program
Severely injured Service members who have an established discharge date may be eligible to apply for the VA's Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers, which provides their caregiver a monthly stipend as well as other assistance. DoD policy prohibits Service members from receiving SCAADL compensation while their caregiver receives the VA caregiver stipend. Service members who believe they are eligible for the VA's Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers should apply. Find more information here.

If you don't believe graphic novels can be as long and complicated as text-only novels, then you have much to learn of these robust comic books!
Since there's no concrete difference between a graphic novel and a comic book, fans and authors treat both terms with respect. After all, some writers may pen a 200-page illustrated story and refer to it as a "comic" for no other reason than connecting it to the tales they grew up reading. Still, there's no denying that some authors worked as hard as they could to put the word "novel," into "graphic novel," and we wanted to honor these ambitious titles that helped give the medium the admiration it deserves with their sheer size and density.
The following five graphic novels are some of the longest self-contained releases we could dig up. For the sake of fairness, we've excluded graphic novels that originally debuted in separate volumes or were previously serialized. Otherwise, we'd have to include comics like the Cerebus series that amassed a collective 6000+ pages during its 27 year run, and that just wouldn't be fair.
5: Asterios Polyp
Comic Book fans may know David Mazzucchelli for his contributions to Daredevil: Born Again and Batman: Year One, so there was naturally a fair bit of hype for his first original graphic novel in 2009, Asterios Polyp. Not only was the book well received by critics, it also gave readers a lot of content to sink their teeth into.
This story of a middle-aged architect learning to find himself rests at a robust 334 pages.
4: Today Is The Last Day Of The Rest Of Your Life
Autobiographies have manifested themselves as a powerful genre among graphic novels, with books like Maus and Persepolis demonstrating to mainstream audiences the potential of storytelling in comics. Today Is The Last Day Of The Rest Of Your Life is one such memoir, and if you think its title is long, just wait until you see the actual book!
Detailing the tumultuous 1984 summer of the then 17 year old author Ulli Lust, Today Is The Last Day Of The Rest Of Your Life does not spare even the smallest of details in its 464 pages.
3: Blankets
The works of author Craig Thompson are known for many things, not the least of which is their length. In fact, when Thompson's novel Blankets was released in 2003, the claim that it could be "the single largest graphic novel ever published" was actually used as a selling point.
As an autobiographical story of an adolescent Thompson struggling with his faith (see what we mean about autobiographies?), Blankets was hailed by TIME magazine for "[setting] new bars for the medium not just in length, but breadth." At 592 pages, we can't say we disagree!
2: Anomaly
Anomaly boldly boasts that it is "the longest original full-color graphic novel ever published," and… well, that claim depends on how you define "longest." By total page count, Anomaly's 378 pages obviously doesn't exceed the previous two novels we've covered on this list. However, if we are to judge longest as largest, Anomaly's place on the list is no question.
At over an arm's length in width when opened, there's no deny Anomaly is a big book. What's more, thanks to an augmented reality companion app, the book's pages literally come to life with accompanying voice-overs, music, animation, and even extended reading that elaborates on each character's backstory. Anomaly is nothing if not ambitious, but at least it delivers on its lofty ideas.
1: Habibi
Remember when we said Craig Thompson was known for his long graphic novels? That was our clue to let you know who would be behind our number 1 pick.
Mixing gritty realism with a dystopian fairy tale aesthetic, this story of two refugee child slaves has proven to be a difficult experience for many readers. While some critics have praised Habibi for its depth and complexity, others have scrutinized its excessive depiction of unfathomable brutality. Yet no matter what the critics say, there's no denying the scope of Habibi's plot. At 672 pages, this is one graphic novel that you won't be finishing in one sitting.

Market View: 8-12 FEB 2016
|Market View: 8-12 FEB 2016
|Market This Week
|Last week the NIFTY closed at 7489 registering a loss of 1% over previous week. For a short term investor, this is not a very favorable time to be in the markets. For a long term investor, we sense a lot of opportunities with cheap valuations. However, as we have been repeating, we should not be desperate buyers. If the markets don't support, even good stocks take a beating. We need to wait a bit for the markets to stabilize. 7400-7700 is the short term range for NIFTY with 7700 acting as a strong resistance. It is not safe to take positions while the NIFTY consolidates in this range. We expect a move out of this consolidation only after the budget. Till then let's lie low. All the best!

Position: Vice President of Engineering at Trackr, a 1200+ person software development company in Texas
Thinkful Coursework: Front-End Web Development, Ruby on Rails, iOS Development
Application of Thinkful Skills: Build Ruby on Rails side project, Understand iOS and manage expansion of his company's iOS app
Prior Coding Experience: Decade of experience as PHP Developer
Why did your boss sponsor you to join Thinkful?
My company sees it as ongoing education. We have a sizeable budget for training. Training is a way for me to expand my skill set and broaden what I'm capable of doing for my company.
Why was our program a good fit you as a Vice President of Engineering?
The problem with most online learning is that it's all based in a vacuum. You build what they're teaching you to build on video. When you run into a problem, you're alone to figure it out. Thinkful was very intriguing to me because it set out to solve that.
Describe a time where learning a skill yourself outweighed outsourcing the project to a contractor or consultant.
We have one insanely complex iPhone application: it's a real time tracking system that gives a real time data feed to a JSON feed that reads it from the iPhone for workers that work out in the oil field. We brought in someone great to check for best practices and monitor the first stage of the project. Now we need a significant update because the project has grown. At this point, I need to learn iOS and take over the project completely so we can add new features. I'm taking the beta iOS course so I can begin that process.
How does your company evaluate the cost-benefit of investing in different training options?
Obviously we give deep thought to the ROI of any educational program. My boss doesn't blink twice when the price of something has a direct correlation with what we're trying to do. If $1,500 of investment in training helps us build an app that makes us $1MM, it's definitely worth it.
You've used many different online learning programs. How are all the programs different?
I have so many resources when it comes to training. The mentor program is what differentiates it for me. Whether it's a person or a team, the mentor helps bring a different perspective. When you're working in a team, you can all get into the same bug and be looking at it and someone else brings a fresh pair of eyes and it's fixed.
Any instance where that happened to you?
Yes, definitely! I had an issue with the latest unit in Ruby but I couldn't find the problem. I had a = where I wasn't supposed to after a % sign. John, my mentor, saw it within a few minutes and it was fixed. Instead of wasting a huge amount of time, he was able to get me right past it and move on.
What other programs are you and your team using to build your skills?
We're looking to build an enterprise application in the Zend framework. We work with many Fortune500 companies and this is widely accepted by those companies. They have a training program that we're going to use. It talks about the specific high level things we need for this particular project.
What advice would you give to someone deciding whether learning to code is right for their careers or their companies?
Talk to other employees at your company about what skills are needed to become more efficient and more agile in developing products. It's likely if you're at a tech company, there will be some inherent value in knowing how to code as background. But also, it'll also have tangible, practical applications.
