MRA and I watch those Gareth Malone programmes on BBC where he works with various groups of people to create or improve choirs. I'm not so taken with recent series where they've become knock-out competitions, but they can be interesting and certainly enriching for the participants.
The current series is regional. He selected from tapes then went around the country auditioning and picking best choirs. In Portsmouth we saw the Shanty Men performing on HMS Victory (where else?). I know those guys, I've performed with them and I like what they do. I'm always fond of anyone who keeps musical traditions alive – in my life for whatever reason it's been rather more a matter of Mississippi than the Solent
Malone didn't select them for the semi finals but he said of them:
"I am looking for people that represent the region and I feel like those guys absolutely represent this region. They're from Portsmouth, they've got the right sound they are shanty men, they've been singing these shanties for 40 years".
I've always thought that's a really weird idea in the modern world. I've lived my whole life in Pompey, sung & played music throughout and have absolutely no feeling for sea shanties as being about my life. Do you?
Incidentally he chose the songs for the four choirs that went into the semi-final and they were:
Exeter; The Diana version of 'Candle in the Wind'
Durham: Something by the Spice Girls
Leicester: Something by Bjork
Reading: Something by the Korgis
So maybe he wasn't serious about anyone really 'representing' a region, any more than most Pompey footballers are from Buckland.

Subscribe To Resistance 2 And Halo 3 Screenshot Comparison Updates
I've already subscribed
This is not the Blend Games weekly battle bout. There will not be three rounds between these two. This is simply a weekend treat with a comparative look at two first-person shooters, exclusive to two different consoles. And since it wasn't really possible to compare screens in our weekly battle between Resistance 2 and Gears 2, we thought it would be a great idea to compare the graphics of one console exclusive FPS to another.
Now for the purpose of quick-comparisons, there are 640x360 screens between the descriptive text. But for the unfiltered details you hardcore gamers crave in comparisons...those screenshots are below, and they are quite big. So brace yourselves.
Here we have Resistance 2 screens, and they are beautiful, no? A lot of lighting detail and sharp contrasts within the environment give the game a surreal look that encapsulates a classic era within a futuristic setting. Very, very nice. The guns, in particular, have strange amounts of unparalleled detail. The guns look so real with the parallax textures that it almost seems like Insomniac pasted real-life, high-def pictures into the game. It's amazing to think that they're even 3D models.
Surprisingly enough, Halo 3 really does hold its own in this comparison. While many gamers would be quick to pinpoint dated graphics or shoddy textures in the third and final game in the Halo trilogy, it actually doesn't look bad when measured up against its PS3 rival. The lighting is slightly darker, with a little less contrast in the realtime lighting department (i.e., making it more difficult to see smaller details) but the dynamic presentation and bloom effects of the atmosphere more than makes up for it. Texture wise, Halo 3 offers up some nice competition for R2, despite being a year old.
Both games look great. I would personally have to give the edge to Resistance 2, though. I think it's slightly more immersive, and a little less glowy. You can view the screenshots for both games below in their high-res state, just to see how Resistance 2 measures up on all [graphical] fronts. Be sure to stay tuned in with Blend Games for more news and info on all the latest games, or drop by the Blend Games Forum for discussions on your favorite titles.

Home Cleaning Research Amnesty and Book of Foresight
// Elevator Pitch:
Too much data not enough insight was the diagnosis for this CPG company. The Home Cleaning Book of Foresight synthesised a wealth of historic data held within the business into insights to focus the innovation team's reality on the needs and lives of the end user.
// Client need:
The innovation team had ground to a halt, obsessing over the 'perfect' product, rather than designing with and for the end-user. They had a mass of research within reach, but little of actionable insight.
// SWW solution:
We reviewed and synthesized documents from over 130 key projects, spanning consumer insight, brand strategy and trends, as well as current and historical innovation initiatives. Combining all available information, we focused the findings through the strategic lenses from the business to create the Book of Foresight that inspired the innovation team to move forward with confidence and the consumer at the heart of their process.
// Added value:
The Book of Foresight built on strong foundations to reframe the consumer needs and refocus the commercial value in the category. The fresh perspective on existing data unearthed new opportunities that gave greater conviction to the insight, design, marketing and R&D teams.

Men naturally have a strong chin and jawline. They are often characterized by their square, blunt appearance. But, a square jaw is not necessarily a "male" feature. In fact, some of the most beautiful women in the world—Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, and Gisele Bundchen—have square jaws.
Despite square jaws being an acceptable look for women, the female jaw is still thinner than the male jaw, especially if you examine the angles that go behind the ears and down to the lower edge of the jawline. Most females with square jaws still have slightly rounded corners and the angles, while square, are not blunt.
Male versus Female Jaw
There are a few key characteristics that make a person recognize a male jaw from a female one, including:
- Men have longer chins.
- The angles of a man's jaw are sharp, giving it the appearance of a square, whereas a female's square jaw is still rounded.
- The chin on a man's face is flat at the base, and a female chin is pointed.
- A man's jaw appears wider, heavier, and thicker than a woman's.
Read more about the features of a feminine face.
How to Make a Masculine Jaw Look More Feminine
There are numerous ways to make a masculine jaw appear more feminine, including non-surgical options. While the non-surgical options can certainly give the appearance of a female jaw line, they are not permanent; therefore, you will have to work daily to give yourself a feminine-looking jawline.
Change Your Hairstyle
Your hair can be used as a way to gently cover up your otherwise masculine jawline. A wavy, layered style can come over the jawline and keep it covered. Avoid short or blunt hairstyles that expose the jaw. Shoulder-length or longer hair help to hide your jaw without making it obvious.
Use Contouring Makeup
Today makeup has come a long way, and it can cover just about anything. While it cannot cover up a blunt, masculine jawline, it can soften the angles when you use the right contouring procedure. There are plenty of makeup tutorials online that show you how to contour your jaw so that it appears rounder.
Jaw Shaving
Jaw shaving and reduction is a surgical procedure that permanently changes the appearance of your masculine jaw. During this procedure, a facial feminization surgeon will reduce the bone structure of the jaw, tapering the sides, reducing the bulk, and trimming the corners to make them appear round. While this does require surgery and some recovery, most transgender individuals find jaw shaving more beneficial than conventional cover-up methods because it is permanent and doesn't require excessive preparation to cover the jaw each day. Learn more about jaw and mandible shaving.
Meet with a Skilled Surgeon Today
Jaw shaving is only as good as the surgeon performing the procedure. If you are thinking of reducing your jaw and making it more feminine, meet with the team at Jacobson & Mardirossian in Jupiter, Florida today by calling 561-624-0900.

Rep. Mark MeadowsMark Randall MeadowsThe Hill's 12:30 Report — Presented by UANI — Sparks fly as House Judiciary debates impeachment articles Democrats object to Meadows passing note to Jordan from dais Meadows says he's advocating for Trump to add Alan Dershowitz to impeachment defense team MORE (R-N.C.) wants the federal government to make it easier for agencies to have a choice of woods to use to build new buildings.
He says that competition among sustainable wood certification systems would be a boon for the economy and help create jobs. Increasing regulation, on the other hand, just sends business away from private forest owners and into other countries.
"As we start to regulate it more, what happens is those jobs and that product goes where? It goes abroad," Meadows said at an event on Tuesday sponsored by George Mason University.
Blanche Lincoln, a former Democratic senator from Arkansas who now works for the National Federal of Independent Business, added that limiting rules have an impact on the millions of owners and workers at small forests.
"They're people who will be hurt by the kind of regulations that will be constricting commerce in our timber market," she said.
The General Services Administration recommends new or substantially renovated buildings use either the LEED or Green Globe building sustainability programs.
The U.S. Green Building Council, which oversees the LEED program, endorses wood certified by the independent nonprofit Forest Stewardship Council, which is also backed by conservation groups like the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Sierra Club.
But the Forest Stewardship Council is just one of dozens of organizations to certify that wood comes from sustainably managed forests. Certified wood comes with a seal of approval similar to the icon stamped on organic foods.
Ignoring wood certified by other organizations, Meadows said, allows for a de facto monopoly.
"We've got to look at trying to make sure that there's a private sector certification process," he said. "We've got to make sure that there's competition in that."
The Green Globes sustainability system recognizes three different wood certifications.
Meadows added that the current system makes it harder for consumers and governments to buy local wood products, which is what happened for a government building recently built in his North Carolina congressional district.
"Here was a public building, paid for by federal tax dollars, that ended up importing forest products from abroad to build a federal building in my district that was just north of Asheville," he said.

This week is NCAA Division III Week and member institutions across the country are celebrating the inaugural event.
Division III Week, which began Monday and runs through Sunday, is intended to recognize the academic and athletic accomplishments as well as the campus leadership and community service efforts of Division III student-athletes.
As part of Huntingdon College's participation in Division III Week, six student-athletes are being featured this week. Huntingdon junior Stacy Terry is today's featured student-athlete.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Huntingdon junior Stacy Terry watched the video and was stunned.
The video in question dealt with bullying and its connection with youth suicide.
Once Terry's initial shock wore off, he became motivated to try and do something about it. With the help of his soccer teammate Nick Alverson, Terry hopes College Students Against Bullying will be an active organization on the Huntingdon campus next fall.
"We're trying to get it started. We've already filed the paper work but we can't start it until next year," Terry said. "When we watched the video, it was about a little boy who had been bullied and wanted to kill himself. He didn't kill himself, but they say 80 percent of suicides involving children between the ages of 8-13 are a result of bullying. We want to try and prevent that."
Terry said he and Alverson began researching the topic during the week of finals last semester. He hopes CSAB can reach out to kids in elementary school and middle school and make a difference.
"We want to go around to the schools and teach kids the harms of bullying," Terry said. "We've pitched an idea to the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, which would have a representative from each sport be involved. We'd rotate and have one person go talk one week and another person talk the following week. We want to try and reach the kids at a young age before it becomes an issue for them."
Being involved is part of who Terry is. During his three years at Huntingdon, Terry has tried to take an active role and be involved on the Huntingdon campus. He is a Huntingdon Ambassador and is in his third year as a SAAC representative.
He's also involved in two sports. He is a three-year player for the men's soccer team and was All-Conference as a sophomore. He is a two-year player in tennis and was selected to the Great South Athletic Conference All-Freshman team in 2010. An injury forced him to miss his sophomore season of tennis.
Terry, who played six sports at Tuscaloosa County High School, said being able to get an education, be involved on campus and play multiple sports has just added to his college experience.
"I really don't think I would have had as much fun just playing one sport," Terry said. "Being part of two different teams has been a great experience. The players on each team and the people you meet playing each sport are completely different. That's just made it more fun."
Name: Stacy Terry
Year: Senior
Major: Biology
Hometown: Tuscaloosa, Ala.
Sport: Men's soccer and tennis
Athletic accomplishments: Terry is a three-year player for Huntingdon's men's soccer team and a two-year player for the men's tennis team. He was All-Conference in soccer as a sophomore and made the Great South Athletic Conference All-Freshman tennis team in 2010. He has been part of two GSAC tournament runner-up teams (soccer in 2011 and tennis in 2010). Terry has been chosen to play in the National Premiere Soccer League this summer and will play for the Madison 56ers.
Academic achievements: Terry has been on the Dean's List. In addition to majoring in Biology, Terry's minor is in Spanish.
Campus Activities: Terry is a Huntingdon Ambassador and is in his third year as a Student-Athlete Advisory Committee representative. Terry and soccer teammate Nick Alverson are in the process of forming a new organization at Huntingdon – CSAB (College Students Against Bullying) – which they hope will start during the 2012-13 school year.

For the first time, scientists have used a cell to record what happens in the world around it. They were able to retrieve the information and read it in chronological order.
Why it matters: Changes in temperature and chemical levels inside the body can be recorded in a broad sense, but tools like this are the biological equivalent of using a microscope versus a magnifying glass. "It's the next generation of resolution," says study author Harris Wang, a synthetic biologist at Columbia University.

Switching from Breast Milk or Formula to Cow's Milk
The best source of nutrition for a baby is breast milk. Every group examining infant feeding has come to this same conclusion. It should not be a surprise. Breast milk, after all, is made to feed babies. A baby does not need any other food source but breast milk for the first six months of life. Women are also encouraged to breast feed longer than that for at least some of the feedings.
Eventually, you may want your baby to drink cow's milk for a number of reasons. Cow's milk is considerably cheaper than formula and is readily available.
Cow's milk differs from human milk in a number of ways, all significant. It has more protein, too much for a baby. It also has too much salt. The protein in cow's milk is not well-absorbed by babies, and it can cause small amounts of bleeding in the intestinal tract. In addition, there is no iron in cow's milk. The combination of losing blood and not getting any iron can lead to anemia, or low red blood counts, in babies. Breast milk also has more fat and cholesterol, which are actually needed by the growing baby. Breast milk has antibodies and other non-nutritional benefits that go way beyond just food.
Infant formulas are better for babies than cow's milk, although not as good as breast milk. The formulas try and approximate human milk. If you are not breast feeding, you are giving the baby formula in a bottle.
Or you may be breast feeding and using supplementary formula.
Eventually, you may want your baby to drink cow's milk for a number of reasons. Cow's milk is considerably cheaper than formula and is readily available. It is still a good source of protein and the best source of calcium that anyone can get as they grow older.
{ MORE: This Guy Actually Had to Ask If Expecting His Wife to Pay for the Baby's Formula Was Wrong }
Your baby has to be weaned from the breast, or from the bottle. An older child will not be breast feeding (in most cases) or bottle feeding. He or she has to learn how to drink from a cup. Most babies are ready to try a cup at about 6 months of age, but are not fully weaned until 9 to 18 months. This is a separate issue from switching to cow's milk. However, the two often overlap. Your baby will also most likely be eating solid food at this point and getting some nutrition from that. He or she will not need as much milk as previously.

Kunder betalar i allt högre grad för ogripbara, men ändå högst förnimbara och värdeskapande, aspekter. Viktiga sådana aspekter är tjänster och service, men även aspekter av sinnlig, emotionell, ekonomisk, upplevelsemässig, etisk, estetisk, miljömässig, kvalitetsmässig, identitetsstärkande, social och kulturell karaktär. Denna avhandling handlar om produktutvecklingsarbete i tjänsteintensiva företag där utveckling av sådana ogripbara och immateriella aspekter är en väsentlig del av arbetet.
I avhandlingen lyfts värdeskapande produktutveckling fram som ett arbete som handlar om att generera produkt- och konceptidéer, formge och utveckla koncept och produkter bestående av tjänstedimensioner och fysiska produktdimensioner och andra värdeskapande dimensioner, samt att integrera dessa med företagets värdeskapande produktplattform. Målet är att "helheten" skall upplevas som sömlös och värdeskapande i kunders sinnen, hjärnor och hjärtan. Begreppen produkt, erbjudande, produkterbjudande och kunderbjudande används synonymt. Även tjänster och service används synonymt och ses som en delmängd av produkt- och produktplattformsbegreppen.
Avhandlingens syfte är att belysa, beskriva, tolka och reflektera kring produktutveckling i tjänsteintensiva företag. Teoretiskt och empiriskt underlag kommer från; litteraturstudier, fallstudier utförda i antropologisk fältstudiemetodanda, förförståelse för arbetsmiljön, samt egna vardagslivserfarenheter. Fältarbetet genomfördes under månader av vardaglig närvaro på Vingresor (resor) och Scandinavia Online (internet). Tre forskningsfrågor har väglett arbetet:
Avhandlingen söker ge en djup empirisk belysning av vardagens produktutvecklings-arbete i två tjänsteintensiva branscher som är föga studerade när det gäller produkt- och tjänste-utvecklingsarbete. Arbetet framträder som ett mångfasetterat och komplext arbete med mål att utveckla en "helhet" som kommer att upplevas som värdeskapande och sömlös i kunders sinnen, hjärnor och hjärtan. Det diskuteras att kunder är de aktörer som har mandat att bestämma huruvida ett företags produkter är mer eller mindre värdeskapande och kunder fattar sina värderingsbeslut i vardagliga "här-och-nu-stunder" utifrån hur de upplever sina interaktioner med företagets värdeskapande manifestationer. Sådana interaktioner uppstår och pågår både före och under köp likväl som före, under och efter användning av produkten. Avhandlingen lyfter även fram förmågan att integrera och samordna de många involverade aktörernas kunskaper, meningar och handlingar som en väsentlig aspekt i vardagens utvecklingsarbete. Ytterligare ett bidrag är fokuseringen av en mängd socialt konstruerade polariseringar som tycks frodas väl i tjänsteföretags produktutvecklingsmiljöer.
English summaryVantage points and problem discussion
A first vantage point is that product development takes on an ever-increasing importance in many companies, not the least in service intensive companies. There seem to be a product development race going on, where every participating company has the same m6ission clear in sight; to constantly launch new and attractive offers ahead of their competitors.
A second vantage point is that customers in today's era of intensive experiences and symbols choose to pay for abstract and intangible values. Such intangible values are services, aesthetics and aura, environmental concern, identity strengthening, culture, experiences, and quality. Although such values may appear intangible they do not come about by themselves as they are all created and developed by human actions and thoughts. But how do people go about in their everyday work to develop such multi-dimensional products in service intense businesses? What is actually being developed? And who are involved in such development work? Those three issues are focal issues in this study.
A third vantage point is the fact that academics have constructed solid walls with theories and models for goods producing companies on one side, and theories and models for service producing companies on the other. Such walls are not physical constructs, on the contrary they are social constructs made by academics. Surely there are large differences in the logic between goods and services in many respects. But so are there between different goods producing companies, as well as between different service producing companies. A resulting dilemma of the walls is that service development, and development of physical products are separated and treated quite in isolation of one another by academics. This separation is viewed as problematic and it is proposed that most companies must be able to skillfully manage and organize multidimensional development work. Work that often includes development of physical product dimensions, as well as of service dimensions, but also of many other value-creating dimensions.
In this dissertation value-creating product development work in service intensive businesses is viewed as a work comprising the design and development of a seamless whole. The whole is viewed to consist of physical product dimensions, service dimensions and other value-creating dimensions integrated with a company-wide value-creating product platform. The conception of product is used synonymously with the conceptions of offering, product offer and customer offer. Service is viewed as a subset of a product.
The aim of the dissertation is to illuminate, analyze, interpret and discuss product development in service intensive businesses with the help of questions, ways of seeing reality, methods and vantage points that have not, to my knowledge, been applied to earlier studies within the field. The study strives to contribute to new insights, new reflections and new questions about product development in service intensive businesses. In order to focus, three research questions have been constructed:
Scientific view and research methodology
This study is conducted from a subjective viewpoint. As a consequence I hold the social reality for being socially constructed. Another consequence of such an approach is that I see the researcher as the most important tool in the research process.
The study is based on an interpretative and reflective approach. The bases for interpretations and reflections are a broad approach to literature studies, two lengthy case studies, my own pre-understanding of the business environment, but also my own everyday experiences. The field studies were guided by anthropological everyday research methods. During almost four months, most working days were spent with the staff at the head-office of Vingresor, a tour-operating company. Almost the same period of time was then spent at the Internet company, Scandinavia Online. Participant observation, face-to-face small talk, planned interviews, and document studies were the major means of research.
Chapters 4,5 and 6 deal with each one of the research questions respectively. In the first part of each chapter, the research question is treated in view of existing literature. Thereafter it is illuminated, interpreted and discussed with the help of the empirical material. Below the content of each of the three chapters is briefly rendered.
How are value-creating products being developed in service intensive companies?
Rational ideals and lines of thought influence most literature on product development. Texts about product development concern the development of physical products, and product development as a field of knowledge has since long been firmly anchored to engineering. However, product development as a field of knowledge has also been influenced by organization theory and project management theory. One quite uniform model, taking a sequential and phases oriented approach to development work is most often depicted as ideal. The model is illustrated as a number of compulsory phases and steps. The need for concurrent development in order to shorten "time to market" is more and more often stressed. In short, the prototype-like models start with idea generation and terminate with market launch or with market surveys of the launched product.
Most studies on product development seem to be performed from the same, almost norm-like rational assumptions, and from quite similar ways of approaching the research phenomena. The mission seems to be to further elaborate the prototype models. However, there are authors that for decades have questioned the idea of developing new products in a rational way, and in highly formalized and predefined work processes. The pile of texts advocating different presumptions and vantage points in order to find models that could be more suitable to today's reality is increasing. Such "opposing" texts focus on aspects such as the importance of knowledge creating and spreading, trial and-error, incremental and iterative development rather than break through development, integration and synchronizing, but also on the importance of play and experimentation.
The supply of texts about service development, service construction or service innovation is far more limited than that about development of physical goods. However, authors of service development texts also seem to agree that development should be performed in a rational, formalized and sequential process. Models with ten, seven or four compulsory phases or steps are presented as recommendable. Similar to the norm-like process for product development of physical goods, the process starts with idea generation and ends with launch or implementation.
Several researchers focusing on service development criticize service companies for following competitors close on their heels, rather than taking own command over what should be developed. The deficiency is claimed to be caused by service companies not having implemented a formalized development process. In the dissertation it is discussed whether it could be taken for granted that development governed by some rational impulses and directives from "inside" the company could possibly create offerings of high value to customers. By pulling from institutional theory, it is also questioned whether it would be possible for competitors to avoid following each other closely and constantly responding to each other's actions.
The field studies at Vingresor and SOL bring forward similarities as well as differences in the ways of performing everyday work. One large difference is that much of the development work at Vingresor is performed on a routine basis. Twice a year, a new product development process is initiated, with the clear mission to launch an assortment for an upcoming season. The process relies on routines, traditions and that everyone knows what to do and when to do. This is not the case at SOL, a much younger company and with a much larger circulation of staff. The processes are different. But so are the conditions they act under. Why, then do most theorists continue to prescribe prototype-like models? Models that are claimed suitable for any context, at any time, under any circumstances?
The rational, formalized, and step-wise prototype work process from the literature is not recognized in reality. My field studies indicate a form of development in both companies, that takes a much more incremental, stepwise, iterative, modifying, and modular approach to development, than is proposed in the prototype models. In my field-settings, during the time I spent there, product development was much about justifying, improving, completing, and incrementally renewing existing product offers and assortment. Everyday work was guided by the current business model (at SOL) or the current strategic plan (at Vingresor). However, both companies have at certain times during their time of evolution, performed more radical product development work.
At SOL, there was much discontent expressed with the modifying art of the development work. Such kind of adjustment-work was by many developers not considered to be sufficiently challenging and exciting. At Vingresor, there was a widespread concern among product developers that they were expected by others to undertake a co-ordinating role in the product development work. While their own desire was to conduct and manage the whole development process.
An informal but widespread scanning process was continuously running in the two companies: A process where developers and managers constantly kept their eyes and ears open to noticing clues that could potentially have impact on their own product offers. In this process the interest was mainly focused on competitors, markets and customers, technology, and to some respect macro changes in society. Interpretations made from such clues could result in the initiation of new or revised product development work at short notice. Product development is much about noticing signals, interpreting signals, and initiating and performing development work on the basis of the interpretations.
Whatvalue-creating products and product dimensions are actually being developed?
This issue has not often been illuminated and discussed in existing literature. In this dissertation it is argued that the goal of development work must be to develop multidimensional, value-creating product and product dimensions that from a holistic viewpoint of customers will be experiences as highly value-creating. Customers experience, judge and value a company's value-creating capability in every moment of confrontation, meeting, use and interaction with a company's value creating manifest-ations of any kind. Such value-creating manifestations can consist of physical goods, services, but also of many others value-creating dimensions. Customers often meet, use, interact and confront a company's value creating and multidimensional expressions before, during, and after buying situations, as well as during and after use of the product.
It is proposed that development staff does not create and develop valuable products. What they are assigned to do is to prepare for, and create good conditions for later value creation to prosper. Value is created with the help of the senses, the minds, and the hearts of customers. It is created as they judge a company's product expressions in the light of everyday use, confrontation and interaction with them. Therefore it is of high importance for the developers to gain a thoroughly understanding of what value-creating dimensions customers value highly in everyday use and interaction with a company's value-creating expressions of different kinds.
At Vingresor, a common notion is that product development comprehends the task of developing a product assortment of hotels, resorts and concepts for a forthcoming season. A widespread notion is that product managers at the product department are the ones that perform product development work. In the study it is discussed that from a value-creating perspective, many more persons were involved in the work of developing value-creating dimensions and expressions that customers interact with, confront, meet, use and therefore value more or less highly. At SOL, product development comprised the work of filling the Internet portal with dimensions that were assumed to create high value for users. A common notion was that value was best created by developing an interesting content, a good technical functionality and attractive technical features, a well functioning customer-interface and a uniform and attractive design - which was labeled the "Feel and touch" dimension in everyday language.
It appeared clearly that the notions most people shared about product development work, was that the work is about developing and launching concepts and "wrapped" products. No one expressed notions that such concepts and wrapped products, were to be integrated, anchored, and finally judged by customers as a part in a larger, multi-dimensional and seamless whole. Who is securing that good conditions for a highly valuable seamless whole, that will be experienced, judged and valued in a great number of here-and-now interactions by customers, is being developed? No one had that responsibility in the two field-settings.
With a focus on actors, knowledge and meanings: Whoparticipate in the product development work?
Several authors have lately focused on the phenomenon of product development under the theoretical frameworks of knowledge and knowledge creation. The theoretical fields of sensemaking and meaning creation have not been used as a perspective to understand product development, as far as I have found.
In this dissertation it is understood that aspects related to the creation and spreading of meanings and knowledge are constantly present in everyday work of product development. One reason for this may be the fact that product development is a highly multidimensional and multifaceted work, comprising many people with different group- and functional-belongings. The field material is interpreted, illuminated and discussed thoroughly under the light of these two fields of theory. Integration, co-operation, and co-ordination stand out as important but awkward and precarious aspects of the development work.
The bag is tied up: A retrospect and contributions
In the last chapter a retrospect to the first chapter is made. Thereafter the main contributions of the dissertation are discussed and elaborated on.
The dissertation strives to contribute with a deep, empirical illumination of everyday product development work in two service intensive fields which have been little studied. It is stressed that development work in service intensive companies is a multi-mensional work that embrace design and development of service dimensions and physical product dimensions and other value-creating dimensions, as well as integrating them all with the company wide product platform. It is also brought forward that customers value a company's products as a multi-dimensional and seamless whole and their valuation is based on how the many everyday "here-and-now" interactions with a company's value-creating manifestations are experienced and perceived. As a consequence it becomes evident that a deep understanding of customer perceptions and experiences of interactions and use from an everyday perspective is one, among several, sources to development work.
It is argued that product development work in service intensive companies sometimes is undertaken with the intention to develop quite radical news. While at other times the development work is of another kind, where it embraces stepwise improvements, incremental development, and slight but continuous modifications of the present assortment. It is also discussed that competitors tend to follow each other closely in the development track.
The ability to co-ordinate and integrate the development experts, and their different knowledge, meanings, and actions is brought forward and illuminated as an important but precarious task. Another contribution is a thorough discussion and interpretation of a number of socially constructed polarizations, expressed as paradoxes, dilemmas and dualism. Such constructions appear to thrive well in the product development surroundings of service intensive businesses. The vivid presence of polarization is interpreted as one possible reason for de-motivation, and conflicts between meanings, interests and actors involved in everyday product development work in my field studies. However, the presence of paradoxes and dilemmas could also be a possible force that could stimulate development, improvement and creativity, if well managed and treated.
Finally, ten suggestions are given to practitioners from my horizon of today. And ideas for future research issues are also brought forward.

The Health & Safety training for staff in every organisation/company/community group is of the upmost importance. It has been noted in many circles that when a recession hits, the first area to suffer is staff training. This is an unfortunate situation and something that can't be ignored. According the Safety, Health and Welfare act 2005, every employer has an obligation to provide training to its staff and the staff are required to attend the training.
Some Health & Safety managers may feel that it's just not possible to continue with staff training when budgets are being restricted and the purse strings need tightened. This is a dangerous position to be in and as my colleagues would say, "It's all well and good until someone looses an eye"! I agree.
Every company is obliged to have a Safety Statement completed. In this statement you should include:
- Safety statements must be specific to the place of work and must set out the hazards identified and the risks assessed
- The protective and preventive measures taken and the resources allocated to safety, health and welfare
- The plans and procedures for dealing with emergencies or serious and imminent danger
- The duties of employees as regards safety, health and welfare at work, and the requirement for them to co-operate on those matters with their employer and any person who has responsibility under the relevant statutory provisions
- The names and, where applicable, job titles of persons assigned to perform tasks pursuant to the safety statement
- The arrangements for the appointment of safety representatives and safety consultation at the place of work
A Safety Awareness course which covers is something that may benefit employees. This course includes:
- Introduction to the Irish Legal System
- Safety Health & Welfare at Work Act 2005
- 2007 General Application Regulations
- Focus on Employer/Employee responsibility
- Criminal Law
- Civil Law
- Personal Injury Assessment Board (PIAB)
- Other Relevant Legislation:
- Safety Health & Welfare at Work (Work at Height) Reg. 2006
- Safety Health & Welfare at Work (Construction) Reg. 2006
- Safety Health & Welfare at Work (Noise) Reg. 2006
- Safety Health & Welfare at Work (Vibration) Reg. 2000
All employees would benefit from this course, with particular benefit going to all employees that have a responsibility under Health & Safety implementation in the workplace.
Another area of workplace Health and Safety is Manual Handling. Manual Handling training takes approximately 4 hours of training every 2 years and it could save thousands on litigation claims. Manual Handling involves lifting, moving, pushing or pulling any object. It does not matter the size, shape or weight of the object as something small and light can still cause discomfort due to poor posture or repetitive movement. As a Manual Handling instructor with many "cracked" spinal discs, I am very much an advocate of correct Manual Handling and training in the workplace and even as young as school children.
Health and Safety Training is an important part of our everyday work life and it is something that can't be ignored if we are to prevent injury and it may even help save a life. It recently launches occupational first aid fetac level 5 course which is world class training course and worth to have.

We've all been there… you've woken up from a rather wild night before with a face fulla makeup and one of your falsies stuck to your cheek. But before you immediately chuck them away, take a leaf out of New Zealand-based vlogger Shannon Harris's book and use them at Halloween. How, we hear you ask. Well, Shannon has been transforming her falsies into tiny SPIDERS, which she's been using to bring her Halloween makeup to life.
The look is super-easy to recreate, and all you need is false eyelashes, glue and liquid liner.
'I cut up individual cluster eyelashes and glue them to my face, following with black eyeliner dots for the body,' she told Seventeen.com.
And where did she get her inspo from?
'I was thinking about how we always mistake lashes for bugs. I had just found the end of an eyelash on my pillow, which I thought was a crushed spider, and it occurred to me that it would be a great DIY for Halloween,' she explained.
So come Sunday, when you've woken up with your falsies still clinging on for dear life and with Halloween only a couple of days away, you know what you gotta do…

As the individual Marvel heroes undergo changes from their first outings to sequels, few seem as primed for a change as Thor: The Dark World. Where the first film was a lighthearted fantasy with elements of Shakespeare and Norse mythology, The Dark World is going headlong into the territory of Viking warfare.
It's not surprising that with all-out war in Asgard, a tenuous relationship with Thor and Loki, and a seemingly endless army of Dark Elves, the studio is able to fill the most recent Dark World trailer with plenty of action and charged dialogue.
We're taking a closer look at what's been shown, alluded to, foreshadowed, or hinted at in the trailer. And buried in some of those quick-cuts were some truly suspicious implications.
Potential spoilers for all readers from here on out (if our analysis is correct). You have been warned.

Suara MBE Edisi Juli 2006
Exhibition and Seminar at MoNE
The Ministry of National Education (MoNE) organized an education seminar and exhibition at the Ministry in Jakarta on 22-23 May 2006. The event was attended by about 50 representatives from education offices in various provinces and 26 international agencies which are running basic education programs. The Secretary to the Director General of Primary and Secondary Education, Bpk Bambang Indriyanto opened the seminar on the theme of School Based Management (SBM). Two USAID education projects, Managing Basic Education (MBE) and Decentralized Basic Education (DBE) took part in these activities.
Ibu Kresni Wiyati, from SD 2 Wonokriyo, Kebumen (photo 3) and Ibu Sri Sumarti from SD Tangkil 1, Blitar, supported by Bpk Asari, MBE Coordinator for East Java, presented their experiences in developing School Based Management (SBM) programs, including teaching using active learning (PAKEM), involving parents, the local community and local businesses.
In the education exhibition the MBE partner districts made displays about teaching and management (photo 1). Donors, representatives of other projects and educationists from Jakarta were very interested in the MBE stand and this led to many questions and discussions. After Bpk Fasli Jalal, the Director General for Quality and Education Manpower (photo 2), had visited the stand, looked at the students work and had discussions with consultants and facilitators, he showed his appreciation by writing "impressive" together with his signature on the work of Ambar, a grade 1 student from SD Bremi 1, Probolinggo (photo 4). In the meantime Bpk Arief Rahman, a commentator on education, wrote his comments in a Big Book made by Ibu Wening Sri Peni, a teacher from SD Tangkil 1, Blitar.

Ok so to date, I have about 5 exclusive listings and one non-exclusive. For a rookie, I must say ALHAMDULILLAH for the opportunity and trust given to me by the home owners. I will do my best to serve them and make their sale a pleasant experience, InShaaAllah. :)
And ahhh.. I really enjoy doing presentations and handling viewings. Macam suka satu macam ah. I feel a strong need to educate and make them see the opportunities from the sale of their house and also to solve whatever housing problems and needs that they might have. It's been so fulfilling when you see the reaction on their faces. Like, "Oh.. tak sangka lepas jual rumah ini boleh dapat duit pasal bila dah pulang pada CPF, dah hit minimum sum, yang balance tu boleh dapat cash.." and "Lepas dapat untung rumah ni, nak tolak hutang jadi tak pening kepala. Kita downgrade dan duduk diam-diam, sekurang-kurangnya duit rumah dah bayar penuh.".. And many more cases like that ah.
That's why, house agents are important. Because we are equipped with knowledge on housing matters and we can advise you accordingly to your housing and property needs. Kena berani bertanya, jadi tak sesat jalan. Lagipun, kebanyakkan ejen rumah benar-benar ikhlas ingin membantu...Macam saya ni.. =P
Of course there are the "sakit hati" moments lah. Like clients bubble when it comes to presentation or viewing appointments.. Bank loans not approved.. Cannot sell house because of certain ethnic integration policy ratio.. things like that. Tapi tu biasa ah.. It's how we manage such situation that matters most. I'm still learning and i've got a longggg way to go. So, yeah. So far so good.
Ok, here are some of me in action.. Hu hu hu..

Just Be comes "After The Storm"
Matthew B returns under a new alias, Just Be, to release his first full solo EP After The Storm on Get Physical Music.
The title track After The Storm is a hefty chunk of peak-time tech house, expertly filled with layer upon layer of tightly wound percussion which build to a crescendo accompanied by piano chords and exotic vocal samples. It's a restrained beast that comes into its own towards the end as it strips back, diffusing the tension built up throughout the first seven minutes or so.
Secondly, the Deep Mix of After The Storm grabs the original and submerges it in a sea of warm sub bass and quirky percussive sounds, really giving the track a fresh twist. Sometimes when two versions of the same track are included in an EP it can seem like they're being used as filler, but not in this case.
Rounding off the EP is Out Of The System, which jets along without any of the warmth of After The Storm, but instead bustles with bouncing drums and a wandering bassline. Add to that a hypnotic melody and a downright epic breakdown and you've got another dancefloor bomb on your hands.

Release Notes
Read the F28_Beta_release_announcement for specific information about changes in Fedora 28 and other general information.
My bug is not listed
Not every bug is listed in this page, but Bugzilla should be a comprehensive database of known bugs. This page is a sampling of the bugs most commonly discussed on our mailing lists and forums.
To see if your bug has already been reported, you can search Bugzilla. If it has not yet been reported, we encourage you to do so to help improve Fedora for yourself and others. A guide to Bugs and feature requests has been prepared to assist you.
If you believe an already-reported bug report should be added to this page because it is commonly encountered, you can:
- Add it yourself, if you have wiki access. Common bugs instructions provides guidance on how to add an entry to the page correctly, but the most important thing is to make sure that the bug is listed - don't worry if you don't get the format quite right, we can clean it up later.
- Or, add the CommonBugs keyword to the bug report. Someone from the QA team will then inspect the issue to determine whether the bug should be listed as a common bug. To expedite your request, please add a comment to the bug that includes
- a summary of the problem
- any known workarounds
- an assessment on the impact to Fedora users
For reference, you can query Bugzilla for bugs tagged CommonBugs:
- CommonBugs? (bugs with CommonBugs keyword, but do not yet have a link to this page)
- CommonBugs+(bugs with CommonBugs keyword and contain a link to this page)
Installation issues
Switching keyboard layout with key combo does not work in Wayland
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1389959
If you're running Workstation Live install media and configure multiple languages in the installer, you won't be able to switch between them using the standard system shortcut (typically ⊞ Win+Space or Alt+⇧ Shift). However, you can still click on the language indicator in the installer with the mouse and that will switch the languages.
This does not affect other install media (KDE Live, DVD and netinst images).
Installer on several live images does not offer iSCSI support
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1395620 - Bugzilla: #1429132
On many or all Fedora Live images, the installer will not offer iSCSI functionality (the "Add iSCSI target" button will not appear in the 'Specialized & Network Disks' screen). You can avoid the problem by running
sudo dnf install udisks2-iscsi from a console before starting the install process, or by installing from a dedicated installer image rather than a live image.
Upgrade issues
Upgrade from Fedora 26 might fail due to rich dependencies
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1552547
When you upgrade from Fedora 26 to Fedora 27 or 28, the transaction might get aborted immediately due to target packages having rich dependencies. The list of such packages as of Mar 2018 is available in bug 1552547. Eventually, the intended solution is to send updated dnf+rpm into Fedora 26 to handle this transaction properly. In the meantime, the easiest workaround is to remove affected packages before doing the upgrade, and install them back in the upgraded system.
GRUB update might fail if /boot is on XFS
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1227736
If you use XFS filesystem on
/boot and upgrade your system, you might end up in a GRUB minimal prompt (just a command prompt, no kernel to choose from interactively) after the upgrade is complete. The problem is in the system rebooting while XFS is in dirty state and not all changes being saved to the filesystem yet.
In order to prevent this issue, you might try to disable plymouth (by removing
rhgb kernel boot option) during the upgrade or uninstall it prior the upgrade (these workarounds were not tested).
If this already occurred to you, you should be able to fix the problem by booting a Live or rescue image, mounting the filesystem in question (which should replay the journal), perhaps running
xfs_repair to make sure there are no more issues. In the worst case, you'll also need to fully re-install grub.
Core system issues
GNOME issues
Wayland issues
Wayland is the replacement for the legacy X11 display stack. Although development has been rapid and Wayland is usable in most situations, some bugs remain. Please see the following link to learn the details:
Please check the list for your issue before you file a new bug, although if you're not sure, filing a new bug is the right thing to do.
Wayland is currently enabled by default only in GNOME. If you want to disable it, select GNOME on Xorg as session type when logging in (you only see this screen if your user has a password defined):
Totem and Cheese fail on Wayland in virtual machines
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1467368
Totem (Videos) will fail to play media when using a Wayland session in virtual machines (applies to default libvirt VMs, but not VirtualBox). The audio will play, but neither video nor a totem window will appear. If you need to play media in this environment, please either use X11 session, or a different media player.
Cheese fails to start in a similar fashion. Because VMs usually don't have a webcam, this doesn't limit users in any way.
Scroll events are not sent into virtual machines from touchpad/trackpoint under Wayland
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1386602
Under Wayland, sending scroll events into a virtual machine works well when using the mouse, but doesn't work when using touchpad or trackpoint. As a workaround, switch to Xorg session on your host.
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1497897
Some users have reported that, sometimes, the icon and text of the VPN entry in the GNOME status menu (the one that appears when you click the top-right of the screen) does not appear. Usually it will show a lock icon and the text 'VPN Off' (or information on any active VPN connection), but it appears that occasionally the icon and text do not appear; the menu just appears to contain an entirely empty row. The entry does function as intended.
No fix for this issue is yet known, but it has no functional impact - you can still use the 'empty' menu item.
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1563674
If you access Samba (smb) shares using Nautilus, it's not possible to delete non-empty directories due to a bug. Current workaround is to delete files in that directory first (tedious), or use a different application for accessing that share (that is not using gvfs library, as Nautilus does).
GDM fails first login attempt after reboot
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1569211
Some users have reported that they cannot log into the system with their first login attempt and the system reports incorrect password. The second login attempt is successful. This behaviour was reported for both the Gnome Display Manager (gdm) and for the screen-lock inside the Gnome Session. Further investigations have shown that the problem only occurs with passwords that start with a capitalized letter, such as "MyPassword123", because of incorrect SHIFT key handling.
This bug is planned to be corrected as soon as possible. Although being painful, the impact of this bug is quite limited because it only affects certain passwords. As a workaround, type any letter in the password field, delete that letter using backspace, and then you can write the correct password. You can check the password by using the Show text button. Alternatively, repeat the login attempt.
Plasma (KDE) issues
Network issues
Hardware issues
Connecting Thunderbolt 3 dock makes the system crash occasionally
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1565131
Sometimes the system crashes when you connect Thunderbolt 3 dock. This problem is being worked on in the kernel.
Application issues
ARM issues
Fedora Server issues
Fedora Server: install wifi support by default
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1569183
With the Fedora Server, the NetworkManager-wifi package is, by default, not installed on ARM architecture. Because of that, wi-fi cannot be used.
This bug affects all users that require wireless network connections to be available on their ARM based devices. As a workaround, install the package manually using sudo dnf install NetworkManager-wifi or create a kickstart file that will pull and install the package during the installation process.
Fedora Cloud issues
Fedora Atomic issues
Cinnamon in QEMU/KVM
Cinnamon Beta 1.3 live.iso only runs openbox
How to install:
- liveuser login (no password)
- openbox-terminal (right click on blank screen for menu)
- su liveinst
- after install reboot in terminal
- login
- openbox-terminal
- su dnf update (349)
- reboot to cinnamon (defaults to fallback mode cinnamon)
Soas issues
Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1519042 soas starts in journal: This can be confusing for users
Fix by hitting f1 key then f3 key to get to main menu
Other issues
Hibernation doesn't work from a standard install
link to this item - Bugzilla: #1206936
The systemd-hibernate generator used to handle resume from hibernate functionality expects a
resume=/path/to/swap in the kernel args. Anaconda does not add this into
/etc/default/grub and the dracut cmdline generator doesn't act in a way the systemd hibernate generator can locate the swap with the resume image.
To work around this, check the devmapper path to the swap via
swapon -s command and add it to the
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX entry in
/etc/default/grub, then regenerate the
grub.cfg file used:
- Via grub2-mkconfig:
- For BIOS systems:
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
- For EFI systems:
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
- For BIOS systems:
- Via grubby:
sudo grubby --args=resume=/path/to/swap --update-kernel=$(grubby --default-kernel)
