Sessions a Data Architect Can Love at #SQLSat92 Portland (Including Mine)
I'm speaking at the Portland, OR SQLSaturday on 8 October. I'll be giving my Database Design Contentious Issues Presentation, one of my favourites and most popular presentations.
Database Design Contentious Issues
A highly interactive and popular session where attendees evaluate the options and best practices of common and advanced design issues, such as:
* Natural vs. Surrogate keys
* Classwords and other Naming Standards
* Varchar Minimums
*Identity Crisis
* Who Calls the Shots and Who Does What?
…and others. Bring your votes, your debates, and your opinions.
Session Level: Intermediate
I so love giving this presentation because it is driven by audience members. Not a lecture by me, but a moderated, sometimes referred debate about issues in database design and data modeling.
But I'm betting you data architects are thinking "Why would I attend an event about SQL Server? I'm DBMS-agnostic." I think it's great that we modelers and designers have skills that cross multiple vendor products. But I sometimes wonder if some of us pride our agnosticism so much that we have actually become DBMS-illiterates. I know that most of us don't work hands on with databases as often and DBAs and Developers, but it is important that we understand and have a firm foundation on the platforms upon which our designs will be built.
SQL Saturdays are free events hosted by other data professionals and sponsored by vendors in the data community (that's what keeps them free). Sometimes there is a small charge for lunch, but that's it. For the Portland event, it appears that even lunch is free. You must pre-register, but it's free. Did I mention it's free?
So you can come to my session but what about the others? Here are ones that I've picked out the schedule that would be of value to those of us wearing the modeling/design hat on a project:
Database Development: Keep It Agile, Not Fragile
Does your company use agile development? It can deliver more value to customers with lower project risk. However, it can also make the system design change rapidly, and require frequent software rollouts. This session will focus on best practices for DBAs and developers to make design, testing and deployments easier. Keep your systems agile, not fragile!
Session Level: Intermediate
Data Warehousing Best Practises
This session will describe the best practises for designing a data warehouse to get the most out of SQL Server. Doug has worked in data warehousing for 12 years and will blend experience, with best practises and recommendations from Microsoft's Fast Track program. Each version of SQL Server introduces new features specifically for data warehousing – by applying the correct technique, feature, hint, modelling approach and layout the data warehouse will be faster and more scalable.
Session Level: Advanced
No More Bad Dates: Working With Dates and Times
Dates and times seem simple at first. Kendra Little will show you there's more to it than you think. She'll give you five best practices that will help you select the right temporal data type, avoid common issues, and use the most effective techniques to aggregate data. She'll also explain painful problems with query performance and how to avoid them. Choose wisely: the correct types and high performing data access logic will scale well and save development and administrative time.
Session Level: Intermediate
Want a promotion? It's up to you!
Self-promotion is often times the best promotion you can get. In this session, we will talk about how to promote yourself, your brand and your career without looking like "That Guy". We will discuss Social Medias, communities, volunteering and other ways to get your name out… What are the first steps? Come find out.
Bad Indexes
I'm sure you've been told seeks are better than scans. I'm sure you've been told that a covering index is ideal. I'm sure you've been told small arrows are better than thick ones. Get the whole story.
Session Level: Intermediate
Models, Cubes & Marts: how & why to choose
Microsoft offers three distinct platforms for data analysis and a variety of related reporting tools. When should you use BI Semantic Models, PowerPivot, tabular column storage, SSAS cubes or relational data marts? Learn about the right fit for each of these choices and what you need to know to use the next generation of BI reporting tools like Project Crescent, SSRS and SharePoint BI.
Analyze and map spatial data with SQL Server 2008
With the widespread availability of location and spatial data to both consumers and corporations (such as smartphone GPS data), there is a need to manage and analyze all this data as well. SQL Server 2008 introduces new standards-based spatial data types and associated functionality to the relational engine. Spatial data can be stored in the cloud using SQL Azure. And SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services allows spatial data to be visualized as Maps. In this session, we'll explore both the SQL spatial data types and SSRS maps, using demos to show this functionality in action. We'll also cover enhancements to spatial functionality in the forthcoming "Denali" version of SQL Server.
Why these sessions? I believe that even if we aren't responsible for finalizing a physical data model prior to implementation, it's still a responsibility of ours to understand the above concepts so that we can work with models that include these design-time decisions. We may not be responsible for choosing all the indexes, but it's important that our models have them. We need to understand the trade-offs around datatype choices, data warehouse architectures and newer DBMS features such as spatial datatypes, XML columns and others.
The line of responsibility between DBA, developer, and DA is constantly moving and may vary based on your project's environment and culture. We must understand more about the target environments we are modeling for.
I hope to see you at the Portland SQL Saturday. The SQL community is great at sharing knowledge and we data architects need to be part of that sharing. It's free, there will be prizes, and it's fun. Be there.

There's no more room in Hell. The dead walk the earth. Do you have what it takes to survive?
Just The Facts
- The zombies are going to attack. It's been scientifically proven.
- Max Brooks wrote The Zombie Survival Guide in 2003. It is currently the best selling book ever published on the subject.
- It is rumored that the US military has a clear plan to counter the threat of a zombie outbreak.
- It is also rumored that the US military had a clear plan when they invaded Iraq.
Introduction, or Dead Alive!
Now you've done it. You just had to open up that barrel of Trioxin, didn't you? Or maybe you decided to release that poor little monkey from the disease research laboratory. Maybe you just read the wrong passage from the Necronomicon. Bottom line: you fucked up, and you fucked up big time. Now the zombies are coming, and if you haven't got a plan then you might as well just lie down and let those maggot-filled pus-sacks take you right now. Surviving the zombie apocalypse is serious business, and the only way you're going to do it is if you're prepared. Here are the basic steps you'll need to follow to make sure that you don't end up as an undead appetizer.
Step 1: Night of the Living Dead, or Oh, Crap The Zombies Are Coming!
Step 2: Dawn of the Dead, or Hooray! I'm Alive! Now What?
Step 3: Day of the Dead, or Most of You Aren't Going to Make it This Far
Once you've assembled your group of survivors, you'll need to discuss your next destination. If the military and/or government are still telling people to report to the various rescue stations, many of your fellow survivors will want to go there. Try to talk them out of this. Think about it: everyone in a 300 mile radius will be heading there. Everyone. And you just know that at least one dumb shit is going to try to smuggle an infected family member in with them. Yes, I know the broadcasts tell people specifically that they need to leave their infected loved ones behind. That doesn't matter. It's mathematically impossible to get every single person in a group that size to follow instructions. There's always somebody that either thinks they know better, doesn't want to listen, or "doesn't take orders from nobody." Whatever the reason, this asshole will get the entire rescue station killed. If you still have people in your group hell-bent on going there, ask them to explain to you how millions of people moving in the same direction towards a single location is in any way dissimilar to ringing a 300 mile long dinner bell.
Step 4: Evening of the Dead, or Oh, Crap! The Bikers Are Coming!
Once the building is as zombie-proof as you can make it, you're free to set it up however you want to. However, I highly suggest including some kind of a reinforced quarantine room. It'll give you the ability to contain anyone who might potentially be infected, including any new refugees you take in. See? I told you that there'd be a chance to play humanitarian.
The next thing to do is set up a guard schedule. Somebody needs to be awake and watching your entrances at all times. This is the single most important job in the entire place. Remember a while back, when I talked about that guy who doesn't take orders, or the guy that's too much of a dumbass to follow simple instructions? Whatever you do, don't give him this fucking job! That guy was born for the sole purpose of being trusted with a very important job, and then failing at it. Every single zombie movie you have ever seen involves some guy fucking up and letting the zombies in. Hopefully, you listened to me back in Step 2, and you killed him already. If you didn't, it's still not too late.
The second most important job is going to be your observers. They need to be placed in the highest positions available: a rooftop, a high window, a tower, anything that gives them a clear view of the surrounding area. The people you select for this job should be your best shots. You want people that can consistently make headshots at a distance. They're mostly up there just to keep an eye on things, but when the zombies show up they're also going to be your first line of defense.
Your observers will also need to be on the lookout for more than just zombies. The violent biker gangs should be attacking your hideout any time now. At the very least, these guys want to kill you and take all of your stuff. You'll need to think about different ways to defend yourself against them. Unlike the zombies, these guys can think and reason. Fortunately, they can also feel pain and fear. Use this fact to your advantage, and cover the exterior of your building with pictures of Rosie O'Donnell. Anything that isn't a rotten corpse should stay far away.
Next, you will need to organize raiding parties. A reliable truck will be absolutely essential. Figure out where the nearest stores are. Food, water, and ammo, and will need to be your top priorities, since you'll be using them up the fastest. You'll also need building materials for keeping your barricades sturdy, and spare parts for your vehicles, so hit some lumber yards and garages, too. And don't leave out hospitals and pharmacies. Now that you're essentially living the life of a third world refugee, you'll need to pay much closer attention to even minor diseases and injuries. After surviving this long against the zombie hordes, you sort of owe it to yourself not to die of an ingrown toenail.
While your raiding parties are out gathering supplies, you should also have them scout potential locations for you to move to. Then if you need to abandon your current hideout for any reason, you'll already have a backup plan. If they can do it without too much risk, have them clear out the zombies and secure the exits. They can begin stockpiling emergency supplies there as well. Plan a detailed route from your current hideout to the new one, and hide caches of essential supplies along the way. Your caches will help you get there in one piece, if you have to move out in a hurry.
Conclusion, or The Return of the Living Dead
Your entire life is now going to revolve around raiding the surrounding areas for supplies, defending your hideout from the undead, and occasionally getting into violent skirmishes with biker gangs. But if you've made it this far, you and your fellow survivors should be more than up to the task. And, besides, it beats your old day job at Hot Topic.

How to Decorate a Front Entrance Table
Do not overestimate the value of decorating the entry way. It is, after all, the first thing guests will see as they enter your home. By decorating a table or console in the entrance hallway or foyer, you can create a lasting first impression for the atmosphere of your abode.
Things You Will Need
- Entry table/console
- Painting, pictures or mirrors
- Key tree or bowl (optional)
- Embellishments (such as vases with flowers, books, bowls, figurines or holiday ornaments)
- Lamp (optional)
If it is a narrow hallway place the entry table against the wall; if you have a large foyer, you have the option of placing the table in the center of the entrance hall. As you decorate your front entrance table, consider the decor scheme of adjacent rooms so you can create continuous flow.
Hang a mirror, picture or painting above your entry table that reflects your taste and the decor of the entrance and adjacent rooms. A mirror can make a dark, cramped entryway seem more bright. Picture or mirror frames and paintings should match the entry table or some other trim in the hall. You can even place a gallery of pictures or prints above the table to mimic the table's geometry and style.
Place a key tree or bowl on the entry table if you envision storing your keys, mail and other daily items there. Alternatively, if the table has drawers, you can store these items out of sight. The important thing is to avoid cluttering the entrance table.
Place one or more embellishments on the table that reflect your taste and the color scheme of the entryway. For example, a vase of white faux flowers would compliment a white trimmed staircase in the foyer, rustic books may suit a hallway with natural brown walls or Zen figurines would look nice on top of a mahogany table. Do not overcrowd the table with embellishments.
Change embellishments on top of the entry table according to season. For example, fill a wooden platter with orange candles and gourds for autumn or a glass bowl with silver ball ornaments for Christmas.
Place a matching lamp on the table or place a standing lamp next to the table, if the entryway is lacking light. Alternatively hang a sconce above and to the right or left of the table.
Things You Will Need
- Entry table/console
- Painting, pictures or mirrors
- Key tree or bowl (optional)
- Embellishments (such as vases with flowers, books, bowls, figurines or holiday ornaments)
- Lamp (optional)

the nature-nurture controversy. The amount of influence that genes have on personality verses the influence of learning experiences is not only related to genetics but also psychology. The debate of nature- nurture controversy has been studied for over 130 years and is still being researched.

Introduction The phrase "nature versus nurture" was first used in its modern interpretation by the British psychologist, Francis Galton (Princeton, 2012). He began his studies concerning heredity in 1865, being moderately influenced by Charles Darwin's publication "Origin of Species", Galton was in favor of the idea that success was caused by superior inherited qualities, he hypothesized that human mental and personality traits were fundamentally inherited as they are in other animals (Indiana,

Nature vs. Nurture There is an issue that has been conferred upon by philosophers in the past and still so by scientists today. This issue is whether heredity or environment plays a greater role in the determining or shaping of an individual's behavior. It is known as the nature versus nurture debate.

Nature and nurture are the two factors that determine human personality. First, the genetic code of a human being, which is unique and based on hereditary and other factors, will be an indicator of personality. For example, some very young babies will already clearly be "shy" or "extroverted". However, the personality of a baby will be vastly modified by a child's upbringing, and the way they are nurtured by his or her mother and father, or legal guardian.

This debate was spawned from the idea that nature and nurture are both pieces of the human puzzle. Are we as humans shaped because of our genes only or are we influenced by our peers and environment?

The historical debate regarding nature and nurture has been going on for years and is still unresolved. Many theorists believe what we have inherited and our genes, makes us the way we are and how we develop. Other theorists believe it is the way we are brought up and our experiences, that make us the way we are and how we develop. Physical The way we look can be argued to be mainly due to nature. The genes we inherit from our parents make the basis of we look. For example, people often say 'Don't

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
Republican presidential contender Ron Paul (R-TX) tells CNN talk show host Piers Morgan about his position on rape. If the woman in question is reporting what Paul calls "an honest rape," he says that she "should go immediately to the emergency room," where he would recommend they receive "a shot of estrogen." Paul is a retired OB/GYN. Paul, a libertarian who opposes abortion, says that while the government should ban most abortions, he is less sure about the situation facing a woman who has been impregnated due to a rape. "A person immediately after rape?" he says to a question on the subject. "Yes, it's a tough one. And I won't satisfy everybody there." He refuses to clarify what he considers to be "an honest rape," or in exactly what situation a raped woman should be allowed to have an abortion, though he does say that "an hour after intercourse, or a day afterwards, there is no legal or medical, uh, problem." He describes his position on the question as "in limbo." In a column on Paul's interview, Jessica Pieklo of the activist organization Care2 asks what Paul would consider to be "an honest rape." "What kind of evidence would we need to show a lack of consent?" she asks. "Does a woman need to have signs she resisted? How much resistance counts before a rape goes from being 'fraudulent' to being 'honest'? Can spousal rape ever be 'honest'? What about other forms of familial rape? What exactly is the bright line here?" She also asks if Paul believes his recommended "shot of estrogen" would actually do anything at all for the rape victim: "About that shot of estrogen. What exactly is this shot of estrogen supposed to do? Paul is purportedly an ob/gyn, so he must know a shot of estrogen won't do a thing to prevent fertilization and implantation. So what's that shot for?" Pieklo concludes, "I'm not sure what is the most dangerous aspect to come from Paul's statements here: that his platform is built on a criminal disdain of women or as a doctor he doesn't know his ear from his elbow." [CNN, 2/3/2012; Raw Story, 2/4/2012; Care2, 2/4/2012] AlterNet's Lauren Kelley notes that Paul attempts to paint the situation as highly unlikely, and focuses his comments on late-term abortions, such as a woman who decides "one minute before" she gives birth to terminate her pregnancy. Kelley notes: "Women do get raped by their husbands and partners. That's not some out-there hypothetical. Intimate partner rape is a major problem—and yes, it happens to well-to-do women like Ron Paul's daughters too." Secondly: "Although Paul keeps going back to women seeking abortions late in their pregnancies, the reality is that 90 percent of abortions occur in the first trimester. So his focus on late-term abortions is disproportionate to the number of women actually seeking late-term abortions." [AlterNet (.org), 2/4/2012]

Uniworld also offers a variety of vegetarian and vegan options, prepared just for you. If you have a specific meal preference, just ask. Uniworld's chefs will be happy to accommodate.
Each of River Queen's cabins has a river-view and is equipped with a vanity and make-up mirror, generous built-in closets, a hair dryer, a safe, individual air conditioning, direct-dial telephone, and a flat screen TV. River Queen's cabins are complete with hotel-style bedding, 100% Egyptian cotton linens, European comforters and private bathrooms including thick cotton towels, aromatherapy bath products, and plush terry cloth robes.

|The Top Ten 10 Must Visit Cities In America - New York
|Staying Safe In New York:-) New York is one America's safest big cities, but you still need to be careful. Here are some tips...
*Try not to stand out as a tourist; scam-artists and thieves target tourists, so try not to look like one! Don't wander around with a map in your hand!
*If you're lost, don't look lost! Look confident, walk like a Native New Yorker, until you can ask a cop or a store-owner for directions.
*Keep your money and other valuables hidden; Thieves and pickpockets choose easy targets, so don't be one! Keep your stuff out of sight.
*Don't carry much cash, and be careful around ATMs; Thieves love cash! When you use an ATM, be aware of who is watching you.
*Stick to the main streets; If you're walking, especially at night, stay where the bright lights and the people are. Don't get isolated.
*Stay off the subway late at night; But if you MUST use the subway at night, choose the carriages with the most people in them.
*If in doubt, take a cab; If you have any doubts or fears, especially at night, take a cab to a safer area, or to your hotel door.

jQuery Photo Tagger Plugin For Flickr-Style Photo Tagging

Hi Ben. I love the plugin. However, I have been using it with Jquery UI Dialog, which I use to display images, and fire it up on the click event that show the dialog. If you fire up the first image, it works, but when you click on subsequent images, the plugins is not fired up at all. I know this ... read more »

One of the easiest and most portable makeup products you can use is a stick foundation. A stick foundation offers pigmented, buildable coverage and can be used by most skin types. They're especially great for combination and oily skins as many stick foundations have oil-controlling minerals in the formula. A stick foundation can also do double-duty as a concealer, is travel-friendly and great for makeup touchups on the fly.
The first stick foundation I ever bought was the Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation Stick in Sand, so that's what I compare every other foundation stick against. What I love about the Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation Stick is that it's creamy, very blendable, stays true to color and doesn't oxidize. Plus, I could easily bridge from my liquid shade to the stick seamlessly, because the shades are the same.
Other stick foundations I've recently tried include:
Clinique Chubby in the Nude Foundation Stick – Good coverage and blendability, but this tends to be dry. I found using a primer gave the best results with this foundation stick. The shape allows you to get into nooks and crannies (side of nose) more easily than some of the others. Available in ten shades.
COVER FX Cover Click Concealer + Foundation can be used with the Click Stick, allowing you to customize the products you use most often. The Cover Click Concealer + Foundation (two products in one) is very creamy and blendable, with light-medium coverage. It feels like a second skin. Good shade selection (24).
Lancome Teint Idole Ultrawear Makeup Stick is the only foundation stick I tried that has SPF 21 in the formula. So if you're going to be outside, this is a great choice. It has a cream-powder texture, is nicely pigmented, blends well and has a soft matte finish giving beautiful, full coverage. I used the Perfecting Foundation & Spot Corrector Brush for flawless application. The Teint Idole Ultrawear Makeup Stick can be used by all skin types and is available in 20 shades. Love this one!
MAKE UP FOR EVER Ultra HD Invisible Cover Stick Foundation builds on the "4D" technology used in the Ultra HD Foundation, adding the portability and convenience of a stick foundation. This stick foundation had true all-day coverage. It's very pigmented and dries to a matte finish. You can also buy complementary shades to highlight and contour (I use Y245 as my base, Y225 to highlight and Y325 to contour; very natural looking!). Applies flawlessly with the 122 Blending Brush. Good for normal to dry skins, it's available in 15 shades.
Maybelline New York Fit Me Shine-Free Foundation totally surprised me! This super-blendable, creamy stick foundation wears and feels like a much more expensive makeup. It offers a light-to-medium coverage, blends easily and has a gel formula with an oil-absorbing core for a shine free, matte finish. If you're looking for a dupe for the Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation Stick, this is the closest I've found. Available in 12 shades.
The Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick is my current obsession. It can be worn as a foundation and concealer, because it has double the amount of pigment in the formula (we're talking serious full coverage if you need it!). It blends like a liquid, is silky like a powder; it's really amazing. The triangular shape of the bullet offers precise application. I would highly recommend purchasing the Vanish Foundation Brush, as it will give you the most seamless, airbrushed finish. I tried the Nude shade, which is a light to medium with neutral undertone and it's perfect. Available in 26 shades. In short–this is my top pick of all the stick foundations I've tried. I'll be re-buying and recommending this one!
Do you wear a stick foundation? Which is your favorite?

1 December - Abbey Wood. Struggling on in spite of Crossrail
Still not a lot going on. If it was a bit warmer I might fill in the gaping hole
Thames Water has left in my front garden. They quickly filled in the hole in the public
footpath but pretended not to know anything about the uncovered manhole in my garden. It's
the same in Townley road, appliances wrecked by mud and grit in the water supply but
no response from Thames Water.
The only thing currently of interest, and then only to those on the North West corner of the borough, came out of my attendance at last night's Abbey Wood Traders' Association meeting.
Bexley Council recently made a small song and dance out of their new website yourabbeywood which I thought was pretty useless except to the few who might be academically interested in long term plans for the area. There was nothing at all on that website which might boost trade which is suffering dreadfully at the hands of Network Rail.
As mentioned last Sunday, the number of railway line closures for 2017 has suddenly risen from the promised one to 22 and that's just the Crossrail related ones. The lack of complete information drives the local traders to despair.
Network Rail circulated an email on 25th November which said there would be no Crossrail closure next Saturday, 3rd December but there would be on Sunday 4th.
If you look at the Engineering Works posters at Abbey Wood station you will see there are no trains throughout the weekend. The map shows the line is closed only from Slade Green to Plumstead on Saturday (implying Crossrail work) but all the way up to London on the Sunday - implying extensive Network Rail work. But the Crossrail email says the reverse. No wonder the official advice is to assume there will never be trains at the weekend.
However there is now a useful Abbey Wood website. It seems to be a big secret, only one of the traders present at the meeting last night knew about it, but apparently it is the work of the retail consultant who designed the new shop fronts.
It includes a shop directory so you can see what services are available in Abbey Wood. A rare accolade from me, but it is really quite well done. (It's on an unusually slow server, be patient!)
P.S. Coincidentally, Bexley Council has published a Press Release on this subject today complete with photographs of the new shop fronts. Similar photographs were published on BiB two months ago.

At the start of a project, we usually need to make wireframes in some form or another. What this entails depends on the project. Sometimes simple pencil or whiteboard sketches are all that are needed. However, larger, more complex projects often require a high-fidelity deck with annotations.

This weekend Endesa announced the 40 selected proposals that are going through to the next round of the Endesa Datathon, the competition that seeks to develop new and innovative commercial proposals based on the analysis of millions of simulated consumption data taken from the new hourly readings. The winners were announced during the event held on Google's Campus Madrid, with a number of experts in the fields of technology, innovation and big data also taking part.
The deadline for entering the competition was the end of last year and over 600 proposals were submitted from 20 different countries (Spain, India, US, Italy, Vietnam, etc.). During last Saturday's event, 70 completed the definitive process and of these, 40 were selected to go through to the next round. Those selected have three months to further develop their ideas and the three finalists will be announced at the beginning of June.
The aims of the proposals received in the competition, among others, are customer characterisation; customers' behaviour prediction; offering new products and services; or mechanisms to help customers in making decisions. After the panel of judges scored the proposals, 51% of the projects assessed obtained a score equivalent to, or above, 7/10. 73% are Spanish and 27% from other countries (United States, France, Italy, Uruguay, Chile, India, Australia and Mexico).
Endesa Datathon is a pioneering innovation competition in the Spanish energy industry aimed at promoting the development of applications, business models or any other proposals that add value to Endesa's customers and that are aimed at the Spanish electricity market. Participants will have access to a set of simulated data that will be generated according to the consumption patterns of millions of data obtained by the new electricity hourly readings and participants will be provided with advanced analysis tools.
This is the second challenge put forward on Endesa's new collaboration platform, Endesa Energy Challenges, launched as part of its open innovation model and designed to pursue energy efficient products and services in collaboration with entrepreneurs. The development of a new sustainable model needs to provide specific solutions for customers' most immediate requirements; enhancing and improving consumers' everyday lives because, throughout this entire process, consumers are becoming increasingly action-oriented with the capacity to decide.
The aim is to challenge the most brilliant minds while searching for solutions in the energy world that enable the current model to be transformed and anyone wishing to take part can register to receive more information about Endesa's challenges and these will be publicised on the www.endesaenergychallenges.com website.

The Seine River Greenway is a treasure which helps us to keep in touch with the natural world literally right in our own backyard. The river and its surrounding lands are wonderful places to enjoy the outdoors and to refresh the spirit.
The Goal: You are invited to be the eyes and ears, and hands too, of the Seine River Greenway and to take an active role in caring for this environment. Participating means enjoying nature and communicating observations to Save Our Seine about the Greenway. You would become involved by telling us about notable wildlife sightings, unusual water conditions, undesirable plant life, garbage and contaminants in the water, river passage and safety concerns and other issues that might arise. You can share your observations through the SOS website and SOS will post or relay the observations as appropriate.
Website: saveourseine.com
This is a pilot project of SOS focused on but not limited to the Greenway between Provencher Boulevard and Youville Street. The project is sponsored by Save Our Seine – a community-based stewardship group whose mandate is to protect, preserve, enhance and enjoy the Seine River Greenway.
Together We Can Make a Difference…

Online Fees
Dear Partners,
Please note that as communicated to you in December 2013, the following fees for NCCP online evaluations will be implemented on April 1, 2014.
Make Ethical Decisions (all streams): $85.00
Managing Conflict: $85.00
Leading Drug-free Sport: $85.00
As a reminder, here are some points of clarification related to these fees (as originally sent out in August 2013):
Coaches who have completed the corresponding multi-sport module training will not have to pay for the online evaluation for that module and will have unlimited attempts at passing the evaluation;
Coaches who have completed the corresponding module component as part of an integrated sport program, will not have to pay for the online evaluation for that module and will also have unlimited attempts at passing the evaluation;
This Board directive and the related fees only apply to those coaches who choose to go directly to the online evaluation without completing the training in advance;
This Board directive is consistent with valuing the high-quality NCCP training provided by all of our partners across the country, and to ensure that all coaches in the system are contributing to the ongoing development and success of the NCCP;
This Board directive is also consistent with what is being implemented by the sports when a coach demonstrates prior learning and goes directly to the sport specific evaluation components and are charged a fee;
As with all revenue collected, these fees will be re-invested into the continued development and on-going maintenance of the NCCP in the best interest of all partners.
A series of FAQs has been created and is now posted to coach.ca here: https://www.coach.ca/online-evaluations-s16831
Please direct your coaches to this page for any questions they may have.
Thank you.
The CAC team.
