Do you own a physical store? Many brick-and-mortar businesses don't pay as much attention to their online presence as they should. After all, the heart of their business is foot traffic, not online sales. Roughly 85 to 95 percent of consumers engage with brands using local listings, local pages, and other local assets. When fast-food chain Wendy's optimized their ads for local, they saw a 27% increase in engagement with their ad campaigns. But you don't need the resources (or budget) of Wendy's to get more store walk-ins. With the right marketing automation company like Wisoft by your side, practically any business can increase in-store traffic and sales through advanced marketing automation tactics.

In e-commerce, marketing automation might start with a Facebook ad and end 90 seconds later on a checkout page.

You never quite know what you are going to get when you walk into an interview with someone. Despite being a larger than life badass on WWE programming for years, Dave Bautista is a mild mannered dude who is pretty damn interesting to talk to. When he came to town to promote his role as Drax in the upcoming blockbuster "Guardians of the Galaxy" we got a unique perspective on the difference between the set and the ring, how long the makeup took, if he has always been a comic book guy, how disappointed he was in his run back in the WWE earlier this year and getting the 'giggles' while on set.
Dave Voigt: I heard you collect lunchboxes. Do you have any with your face on it yet?
Dave Bautista: Yeah! I've got a "Guardians" lunchbox and I have a lunchbox with me and Eddie Guerrero. Both of them were made for me, but yeah, I do have a couple with my ugly face on them. (laughs)
DV: Did you start off as a comic book guy when you were a kid?
DB: No, this is completely new to me. I was never that guy and I'm still that type of person who if I pick up comics I'll just look at the pictures. I'm totally perpetuating the stereotype of the big muscle bound dude with that one, but I'm mostly drawn to artwork for some reason.
DV: And as a wrestler you obviously have experience of telling a story through action, is that something that drew you to the role of Drax?
DB: Nah, not so much because it was the character that I just loved and less so the physical side of it all. When I left to sort of pursue acting I never intended to be an action star or anything like that. I just found out by chance that I had a passion for acting and that I wanted to pursue it. Drax is this interesting character with a lot of different layers, and that's what I really loved about him.
DV: Not being a comic book guy, stepping into a role like Drax, did you feel the need to go back and start reading up on the character you were going to be playing? Or did you just go from the script that James Gunn had written?
DB: I did go back and that was part of the challenge! When I first decided to audition I was given sides, and they were very limited sides because Marvel doesn't just give their info out to everyone who's interested, they definitely aren't giving anything away. The sides that I had been given were just bits and pieces of different scenes that were thrown together. It didn't tell me anything at all about Drax, so I had to go back and do research on Drax. And that was just rough because Drax has changed so much throughout the years and there have been so many different versions of the "Guardians". It was kind of rough because I really couldn't fully put my finger on Drax until I got the whole script, and that wasn't until I got the part. After the first audition, that was about four months later that I finally got the script.
DV: Did that make you hesitant to accept a big role like this considering the hard time you had finding the character in the audition process?
DB: No and I mean it was a little weird because first of all I didn't really have very hopes going into the audition for getting the part. Even when I went into the first audition my agent was telling me that it was a real long shot. He built my hopes really low. (laughs) So my first audition, I was nervous and everything as expected but it was even worse when [casting agent] Sarah Finn asked me to come in and read for James. That was when I really got nervous. As soon as I read for James from those limited sides and he explained a bit about what the part would entail, then I became intrigued. That was when I really started to want it instead of thinking it was just another audition that I was going to get turned down for. (laughs)
DV: How would you compare working with James Gunn as opposed to working with someone like RZA, who directed your last major role in "The Man with the Iron Fists"?
DB: Well, first off, RZA's is definitely my boy. We're always hanging out and I mean that, really. But James is someone different, I guess you can sort of easy to imagine the differences between them because RZA can be cool and funny, but he's very serious sometimes too. James is a geek, man. (laughs) He's really quirky, funny, very energetic, he likes to laugh a lot and joke a lot. He's always fun and very animated while RZA, he's just… (Gets very quiet for a second and then laughs) He's Mr. Wu Tang! He's a philosopher and everything he says is really deep and thoughtful. He can say the most serious thing and you really have to think about it, and be like, "Yeah, okay." (laughs) RZA can be playful, but he's also a lot like me, he can be really internal and analytical without saying a lot. James I think just likes to think out loud
DV: Are you going to get a Drax tattoo?
DB: I actually am! Yeah!
DV: Where?
DB: (laughs) That's one problem. (laughs) I'm going to pitch something. I have an idea for a Drax tattoo, and I'm going to see if they go for it, and if they do I'll go for it, and if not I'll go through the other ones and try to figure something out and there's a little bit of insight here, there was at one point a scene in the film where we explained Drax's tattoos, and they didn't use it in the film. It was really just a pacing thing. It was kind of a slow, sad, sad story, but I've been told that's going to be on the DVD extras, so that's going to be a cool thing to share with everyone.
DV: When you're wrestling, you're performing to a crowd of tens of thousands of people, either cheering you or booing you depending on the scenario so it's really easy to get your energy up in a situation like that. However what's it like trying to translate that to a sound stage where you have to do the same thing to a crowd of maybe thirty to forty people?
DB: That's a good question, because you really can't compare it. That really is the big difference and I try to explain it to some people and often they'll think it must be a really easy transition. They'll just say "Oh, you've already been in this type of entertainment, so this should have been easy." The difference is that broad spectrum. In wrestling there are so many people inside and outside the ring, and it's so live, and it's this whole adrenaline thing. Whereas you move it into this more intimate thing, everything gets all quiet, someone says action, and you have to say the lines and make the words your own. It couldn't be any more different and it's weird sometimes trying to explain that to people. When I tell people that acting is much more terrifying to me than going out in front of ten thousand people, they don't quite believe it because for some reason that intimacy is just terrifying to me.
DV: It's been a hell of a year for you. You started off going back to the WWE for the Royal Rumble, you were in the Wrestlemania main event. You were away for four years, and coming back there's this instant gratification and electricity while you are there. And on top of all that, you shot this a while ago, and you get to have that same gratification that you got for something you did while you were away. In a way feel like the proper culmination of four years of really hard work for you on all sides of the spectrum for you, how does it feel to get the gratification and the payoff not only from your work in the movie but in your return to the ring?
DB: Honestly, this feels much better. The reason is that I had wanted to go back to wrestling for such a long time, I mean I had never wanted to leave and I only left because the company really gave me no choice. I went back on kind of a sour note and it was a really weird reaction from the fans, and the company wasn't really working with me in terms of the creative side of things. They wanted me to do stuff that I just didn't agree on or believe in. It wasn't a great run, and I was a little disappointed with it. But, I mean, it is what it is and I did my job the best I could.
The opposite end of that is coming into this, where I do believe in it so much and I'm so proud of it. It's just so refreshing to have this breath of fresh air coming out of that atmosphere and into this. It seemed like that atmosphere was all hate, and this atmosphere is all love. And it feels f***ing good, that's how this feels.
DV: Before coming into this I watched the Blu-Ray that was produced by WWE that documented your comeback at the beginning of this year and one of the things you said in there that was really interesting is that you refer to yourself as your own harshest critic. So coming from an experience like that where things didn't plan out like you thought and then going into something like this, is there any real validation to come out of something that you were a little sour on and be able to run with this whole new experience and a new group of fans that really see you as an actor?
DB: It's not a self thing or a self gratifying thing. What was happening (in WWE) was just such a negative thing. I just don't like being surrounded by all that negativity, It just sucks, man, it really does and I don't like it. It's not the type of person I am and it's weird, and I don't know if you'll get this, but it's like when people bash you and bash you and bash you and the moment you start acting like you don't give a f*** is the moment they bash you even more. Ultimately the reason that I don't give a f*** is because they could never criticize me more then I criticize me (laughs). You can try it if you want but you just have to say whatever, man. You can hate me for this, that, or the other reason, but I have one life to live and I'm going to live it as full as I can whether you like what I'm doing or not.
That was hard for me because I really love pro wrestling, and it was like the company was just constantly working against me instead of working with me. I was so excited to be going back and I wanted to make it work but it was just one of those things where I was disappointed. They took the control completely out of my hands, and I really didn't have a choice except to go with the flow as best I could. But yeah, that was kind of as heartbreaking as this is great.
DV: So would you say that you had a bit more creative freedom with a character within the mechanism of the Marvel universe than you did in your most recent WWE run or is it just a question of tone between the two worlds?
DB: Well, the tone is completely different between the two. I wouldn't say I have creative control at all. This here is James Gunn's baby, and I wanted to play Drax the way he wanted me to play Drax. We had a lot of freedom when it came to doing improv, and a lot of that improv actually made it into the final edit. But to say that I had any creative control over Drax would be a lie.
DV: Control may have been too strong a word…
DB: (laughs)
DV: Just from talking to you it seems like you have a lot in common with Drax as a character a guy who just tells it like it is. You don't seem openly aggressive, you're very mannered, but you also don't really take any s*** from anyone. So was that one of the things that you saw that made you excited to take this role on?
DV: Yeah! What's really cool is that James just said something to me this weekend that hit me really hard and it made me so eternally grateful and really put things in perspective. He said that he thought that Drax was going to be the one character he was going to have to "settle" on, and he was so relieved when he finally met me. He said he knew right off the bat, he was going to convince Marvel that I was the guy. That really put things in a whole different perspective for me, and yeah, I guess that's because that's just who I am. I guess that's why he saw me as his Drax. But seriously, thank God that we found each other.
DV: You've talked a bit in other interviews about the make-up process that you had to go through for hours and hours each time to become Drax, so were you jealous of Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel that were CGI characters and they didn't have to spend hours in make-up and what did you end up doing that all that time?
DB: (laughs) Well… (laughs). I was warned way before hand what this entailed. They wanted to make me aware that this was going to be a really lengthy make-up process. Honestly, once I was Drax I was grateful to be there. I never thought, "Damn, I have to be in make-up four hours at a time and so-and-so doesn't have to be."
But the best perspective I can give you on it is this: If you can imagine hanging out with four or five of your best friends for four hours and just listening to music, it goes by pretty fast. That's what it was like for me. The make-up team was five people, and I just stood there and they did all the work. All we did was talk. Sometimes we didn't talk and we just listened to music. Either way, it was just like hanging out with my friends. It was cool. I actually built some really strong relationships some of my make-up team. Almost all of them came to the premiere in London as my guests. Some of them were even to make it over to Wrestlemania last year, and that was really cool.
DV: Obviously mixes and playlists were such a big part of the film, when you were just hanging out getting your make-up done, what was your playlist?
DB: Oh, man! It was so funny because the first time they said we could listen to music they told me to bring in whatever I want. So I bring in my iPod, and I had a bunch of playlists on it, but I had this one really old school hip-hop one. It was all Public Enemy, BDP, Wu Tang, Method Man, all that stuff. And that was the last time they ever let me play my iPod. (laughs) They always had their iPods in there from then on out, and it was always classic rock like The Rolling Stones and stuff like that. It was always good stuff, though.
DV: So the first time you didn't have to go through the make-up process was it a relief or were you kind of nostalgic for it?
DB: You know, it was weird, I think about a month and a half for two months into shooting, I wrapped early one day and they were still shooting. I wanted to go and watch and see what they were doing. I went on set without my make-up, and there was a bunch of people who I talked to day in and day out over months that had no idea who I was. That was weird. But it really was a sad thing, man, having to wrap and say goodbye to my make-up team. I had to say good-bye to the lead make-up artist a bit early because he actually had to go to Hong Kong, but it was kind of sad but then again, it felt good to be clean once again. (laughs) Even after I left the set for that last day, it still took me a good two weeks to get rid of all that residue from the make-up. It was just constantly turning up. There was grain still coming out of my nose, and it was just everywhere.
DV: You're good now, though?
DB: I'm pretty clean right now. (laughs)
DV: I know you don't get a chance to interact with Bradley or Vin really, but I love the core dynamic that you have with Chris and Zoe. You guys are all hard working performers, and you're all playing characters with different personalities and really easily relatable and sympathetic reasons for wanting to join forces. What was it like working with Zoe and Chris on a daily basis to create that dynamic?
DB: It was fun, man! It was weird too because we all had really great chemistry right from the start. I think that's what made it work, because James really put a lot of thought into that when he was casting. I think he wanted to make sure everyone got along and there wasn't going to be any ego on the set. That's sort of what it was. For me, I'm usually a really quiet guy, usually the quietest guy in the room even, and a lot of times my favourite memories throughout filming were just sitting back and watching Chris and Zoe interact with one another. They're both kind of kind of of hams. (laughs) They're both really motivated, energetic, and outgoing. It's really slow in-between takes while we're waiting for camera angles to change and new lighting set-ups. They would just randomly start singing or dancing, and that was just so ridiculous. For me, it was a lifetime worth of entertainment.
DV: It must be hard to play a character that's a straight man that takes everything literally against someone like Chris Pratt.
DB: Oh, God. It is, man, it really is because Chris is just so goddamn funny. A lot of the stuff he says isn't on the page, and sometimes James would call out to us over the microphone and tell us to say something else and it all stays so fresh that if one of us got the giggles, then everyone was going to get it. Usually whenever things would break down into laughter, it would be from James telling us to do something or say something differently. Zoe was always the first person to start laughing out loud, and then Chris would get going. Sometimes it wasn't easy. That's when you thank God for editing. (laughs)
There was a scene in the prison with a scar faced prisoner, the guy that I take the knife from, that I hope makes it to the gag reel on the DVD. We did a whole bunch of stuff with him, and he had to deliver everything the same way as me and just be very deadpan, and that was SO funny. All of us were spitting from laughing so hard. I hope some of that stuff makes it to the gag reel.
DV: You mentioned before that you never really wanted to leave the ring, but there is such a long legacy of guys who have made the transition to acting and you had to give it a try. Was there ever a moment during this whole experience in Hollywood when you said to yourself that hey I can make a go of being an actor full time?
DB: Yeah, it really was when I got the role of Drax. Up until then I had really struggled to get roles, and I still struggle to get roles. I'm hoping this will open up a lot more doors for me, but I'm still auditioning and getting turned down for roles. So I think some people still aren't aware. Maybe they're aware that I've been cast in this role, but I think they still expect Drax to be just this one noted character: the menacing muscle head who cuts people's heads off, or as Jason Momoa describes these kinds of roles, a shirtless character who doesn't say much. But, you know, surprise, surprise. (laughs)
"Guardians of the Galaxy" is in theatres now…go see it. Check with your local listings for show times.

An unprecedented archive originating from the estate of author Mario Puzo will be auctioned by Boston-based RR Auction.
A highlight of the collection is Godfather I material that includes; thousands of pages, notes, and drafts, of a multitude of versions of both the novel manuscript and the film screenplay that sheds light on never-before-released information regarding Puzo's character, scene, and dialogue development, and his legendary collaboration with director Francis Ford Coppola.
When Coppola signed on, he immediately corrected the studio on two main points: first, that this remain a period piece as the novel dictated (Paramount had planned to stage it in the 1970s); second, that they film primarily in New York City. Coppo- la also supported Puzo in his insistence that Brando play the Godfather, something the author had envisioned since he wrote the novel. Present in this archive is Puzo's retained copy of the March 7, [1970] letter he sent to Brando expressing his disappointment that he would likely not be cast. This correspondence reveals that the actor was approached by Puzo far earlier than most realize. The novel was not published until March 29, 1970 and screenplay adaptation did not begin until April, 1970. The director also championed for then unknown actor Al Pacino for the role of Michael Corleone and Puzo supported him. Eventually the studio relented on both counts— the writer-director team had perfectly cast the two most pivotal characters in the film.
Puzo and Coppola maintained a successful co-writing relationship by scripting sepa- rately—the novelist in New York and the director in San Francisco—autonomously revising each other's work. Included in this collection is Puzo's retained, hand-signed copy of an amazing content January 21, 1971 letter to Al Ruddy, Francis Ford Coppola, and Peter Bart, in part: "Michael's fall from grace (Good guy to Murderer) should be more meaningful. After this (and I assume Francis will be re-writing this now) I feel it's ready." Also present here is an enlightening two-page Puzo note to Coppola regarding, "Notes on my corrections of your half."
All in all, there are nine partial copies of the Godfather I script in various stages of completion, many of which have important notations in Puzo's own hand; present is a beautiful handwritten piece of Vito dialogue where the author himself pens, "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse."
On the same page, Puzo also wrote to Coppola, "I'm very sure Clemenza and Tessio should not know GF will kill Fanucci. This one time the murder should not be discussed." Apparently at one point, the script included Fanucci being murdered in front of his family Puzo was opposed to this, and obviously won the argument. He wrote: "You cannot have Vito kill Fanucci with daughters present… it makes him less sympathetic. Remember these killings are business not personal. As sheer good manners, GFs do not kill men in front of their wives and children."
Included is an original 744-page typed working draft manuscript (for The Godfather novel, then titled "Mafia," featuring a plethora of important handwritten amendations by the novelist. In addition is the presence of six large oak tag storyboards outlining the lengthy nine-section novel. A later-stage 15-page handwritten outline of The Godfather novel's nine sections is present as well, providing irrefutable proof that the novelist based character Johnny Fontane on Frank Sinatra.
"The Godfather" made the Corleones the most famous—and infamous—of Mafia families and the enduring myth defined the American Pop-culture landscape," said Robert Livingston, Executive VP at RR Auction.
Highlights include:
- A 744-page working draft manuscript for the Godfather novel, originally titled "Mafia."
- Six large, storyboards outlining the Godfather novel's progression.
- A 15-page handwritten Godfather novel outline revealing that Johnny Fontane was based on Frank Sinatra.
- Puzo's 1965 Olympia typewriter, almost certainly used to write the Godfather novel .
- Countless examples of Puzo's handwritten amendments to iconic aspects of the Godfather I and II screenplays; along with a couple of Coppola's annotations.
- Insightful typed and handwritten correspondence between Puzo and Coppola regarding all three Godfather films.
- Puzo's copy of Francis Ford Coppola's Godfather 'Bible', an enormous, impeccably organized three-ring binder covering virtually every aspect of filming.
- Pages upon pages of fully handwritten Godfather I and II scenes and dialogue.
- Fantastic material illuminating the progression of Godfather II, from Puzo's initial draft to the final product, with Coppola's invaluable input.
- A couple of Puzo handwritten instances of "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse."
- Work on other important screenplays such as 1974's Earthquake and 1978's Superman
- First draft, hand-annotated manuscripts of the author's books, including early works 1955's The Dark Arena and his personal pride, 1965's The Fortunate Pilgrim.
Expertly organized within 45 banker's boxes, this collection surveys the lifework of Puzo on a scale never-before-seen, and is highlighted by the book-to-screen progression of the work that defined Puzo's career.
Online bidding for the Literary Rarities auction from RR Auction will begin on February 11, 2016 and conclude on February 18, 2016, at 6PM ET. At 7:00PM ET, a live auction of the Mario Puzo Archive will take place at the company's Boston Gallery. More details can be found online at www.rrauction.com.

Reviewed by: Christine Oka, Research & Instruction, Northeastern University Libraries, Boston, MA
When the Tate Gallery opened at the original Millbank site in 1897, it displayed 245 works of British artists and was described as "the national collection of British art from 1500 to the present day." Over the years, the gallery has expanded by adding international modern and contemporary art numbering nearly 70,000 artworks to the initial collection donated by industrialist Henry Tate. The collection is now displayed at four major sites throughout Britain: two galleries in London, Tate Britain and Tate Modern, as well as Tate Liverpool and Tate St. Ives (Cornwall).
The most recent issue of Tate Papers, Autumn 2015, demonstrates this new broad scope with articles examining pop art in the 1960s and 1970s from Argentina, Brazil, France and Yugoslavia in relation to local and global contexts, as well as the writings of nineteenth century critic, William Hazlitt. Articles about pop art include "Screen Politics: Pop Art and the Atelier Populaire," which discusses the technical and symbolic impact of pop art posters produced by the artists and students who occupied the École des Beaux-Arts during the May 1968 strikes. How did American pop art graphics, which was regarded by the Atelier Populaire as "an infantile neo-dada provocation, an attack on painterly technique via mass media images and the ideological agent of a foreign consumer society" become the medium used by Atelier Populaire to create the iconic posters of May 1968? This is a fascinating interdisciplinary read for those interested in art techniques, art history and political history.
The other theme in the issue coincides with the Tate Britain exhibit of "William Hazlitt: Through the Eyes of a Critic," which focuses on Hazlitt's art criticism, featuring a selection of paintings with Hazlitt texts about each one. Hazlitt was a drama and literary critic, painter, social commentator and philosopher as well art critic, a pioneer at a time when public galleries were new and print technology was beginning to bring newspapers to a mass readership. The Tate Papers articles closely examine his writings for his aesthetic theories, rhetorical devices and literary influences. For example, the essay "Critical Dilation: How William Hazlitt Judged Paintings," looks at the "contradictions between Hazlitt's radical politics and his opposition to the mass appreciation of art, compares his writings on aesthetic experience to those of his contemporary Karl Marx, and unpacks the critic's enigmatic thoughts on J.M. W. Turner. . . "
The Tate Papers is a peer-reviewed research journal published in the spring and autumn with articles on British and modern international art, and on museum practice today. Submitted articles undergo a rigorous peer review process and those published in Tate Papers are "deemed by UK research councils to be suitable for submission to the Research Excellence Framework." Past issues are archived and accessible on the Tate website.

Physiatrists, or rehabilitation physicians, are nerve, muscle, and bone experts who treat injuries or illnesses that affect how you move. Physiatrists are medical doctors who have completed training in physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R). A physiatrist:
- Diagnoses and treats pain
- Restores maximum function lost through injury, illness or disabling conditions
- Treats the whole person, not just the problem area
- Leads a team of medical professionals
- Provides non-surgical treatments
- Explains your medical problems and treatment/prevention plan
The focus is on the development of a comprehensive program to put the pieces of a person's life back together after injury or disease – without surgery.
Physiatrists take the time needed to accurately pinpoint the source of an ailment. They then design a treatment plan that can be carried out by the patients themselves or with the help of the physiatrist's medical team. This medical team might include other physicians and health professionals, such as neurologists, orthopedic surgeons, and physical therapists
A physiatrist's treatment focuses on helping the patient become as functional and pain-free as possible in order to enjoy life as fully as possible.
Dr. Jennifer Solomon is a board-certified physiatrist in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Her practice is devoted to using non-operative and minimally invasive treatments of spine and sports injuries. Dr. Solomon serves as a team physician for the United States Tennis Association (USTA) and has covered several sporting events including the New York City marathon, tennis tournaments, volleyball and various races.

Spieth in control with a Masters victory in sight
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) Jordan Spieth closed out the front nine with four straight birdies to build a five-shot lead going into the final stretch of the Masters.
A victory would make him the fourth player to win back-to-back, and the first player ever to win wire-to-wire in successive years.
And the 22-year-old Texan was making it look easy.
Spieth also led by five shots at the turn last year, when he started the final round with a four-shot lead. This time, six players were within three shots of the lead - but not for long.
Coming off a bogey that cut his lead to two shots, Spieth made a 15-foot birdie putt on the par-3 sixth, then played the slope perfectly on the seventh hole and the ball rolled down to 3 feet for an easy birdie.
He had a simple up-and-down from just short of the green for a third straight birdie on the par-5 eighth. And he closed out the front nine with a 20-foot birdie putt to go out in 32. Playing in the last group with the all the pressure, he had the lowest score on the front nine Sunday.
Spieth needed a little help. With a one-shot lead, his tee shot on the par-3 fourth was headed for the trees when it caromed out into play, and he wound up saving par with a 12-foot putt.
Danny Willett of England went out in 34 and got as close as two shots at one point until Spieth began his birdie run.
Smylie Kaufman, playing with Spieth in the final pairing, matched birdies with him on the par-5 second hole. Six holes later, Kaufman was six shots behind.
Only four players were under par when Spieth made the turn. Soren Kjeldsen of Denmark was 1 under through 13 holes, while Dustin Johnson was 1 under through 11 holes.
At this rate, instead of the Masters not starting until the back nine Sunday, Spieth could have ended it on the front nine.
Most of the excitement was on the par-3 16th hole, where Shane Lowry, Davis Love III and Louis Oosthuizen each had a hole-in-one. That's a record number of aces for that hole.

You've decided to take the plunge. Taking vocal lessons is a surefire way to improve your vocal performance, understand the mechanics of vocalizing, and explore the possibilities of your particular voice.
Many people will consider taking vocal lessons as a way to sharpen their skills or to start from scratch developing their talent. While some people are embarrassed to take vocal lessons, remember this—nearly all your favorite singers have at one point or another taken vocal lessons.
With the desire to improve your vocal capabilities, you have everything you need to get started. We've compiled a list of the five most useful vocal lesson destinations with different ideas in mind. Whether you're an experienced vocalist that wants to sharpen their skills or someone who is just starting out, New York City offers tons of options in terms of vocal lessons. The only thing you have left to do is decide what you truly need.
1. Vocal Workout Singing School
We included Vocal Workout Singing School because of their sheer range of services. Covering all vocal skill levels from beginner to expert, the vocal coaches here are by all accounts at the top of their field.
This school also offers some additional services, including private lessons, songwriting seminars, and "Vocal Yoga," which teaches breathing and tone techniques through employing the 12 basic yoga positions. The options here are almost limitless.
2. Voice Academy NYC
Voice Academy makes this list chiefly because of their focus on group and children's classes, as well as the offerings for international showcases.
The vocal group classes are an excellent way to break the ice with new people, as well as learn in a supportive environment. With backing tracks and a great view of the city, the vocal group lesson could feel more like an interesting night out than anything else.
Voice Academy NYC also stresses affordability on its website, which for many can be an important consideration. Many people who offer lessons will charge a premium price for their individualized services. If you're looking for cheap vocal lessons, definitely give Voice Academy NYC a call.
3. New York Vocal Coaching
This company makes the list because of their 12-week comprehensive course. Called "The Voice Lessons to the World," this course brings you through an exhaustive and intensive journey through beginner, intermediate, advanced, and master techniques. Many testimonials stress how the single class has changed the game for them more so than any other regimen could have achieved.
New York Vocal Coaching's credentials are also top-notch. Justin Stoney is an internationally-renowned vocal coach, and he has been featured on several major television networks and is the subject of countless articles. Also, major entertainment names such as Wings and Monk star Tony Shalhoub have rave reviews of Stoney's work on the website.
4. Krowne Vocal School NYC
Krowne Vocal School NYC is included in this list because of their range of particular services they offer. Covering nearly all facets of vocal improvement, from vocal "cracking" to staying in key, this school stresses their focus on personalized lessons and technique improvement regimens.

5. Karen Nimearala
We decided to include Karen Nimearala because, quite simply, of her accomplishment in the field. Studying under Maestro Franco Corelli—one of the most well-renowned tenors in history—we can confidently say that Nimearala truly knows her stuff.
That comes with serious exclusivity. As an award-winning singer in her own right, she has a range of experience that few people in the vocal world possess. To put it in perspective, Sting—you know, from The Police?—was one of her students.
From her range as an opera and jazz singer to her work in musical theater, Nimearala offers truly expert skill. For that reason, we included her on this list.

NOTCH1 functions as a receptor for membrane-bound ligands Jagged1, Jagged2 and Delta1 to regulate cell-fate determination. Upon ligand activation through the released notch intracellular domain (NICD) it forms a transcriptional activator complex with RBP-J kappa and activates genes of the enhancer of split locus. This protein effects the implementation of differentiation, proliferation and apoptotic programs, and may be important for normal lymphocyte function. In altered form, it may contribute to transformation or progression in some T-cell neoplasms. In fetal tissues it is most abundant in spleen, brain stem and lung. NOTCH1 is also present in most adult tissues where it is found mainly in lymphoid tissues. NOTCH1 is synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum as an inactive form which is proteolytically cleaved by a furin-like convertase in the trans-Golgi network before it reaches the plasma membrane to yield an active, ligand-accessible form. Cleavage results in a C-terminal fragment N(TM) and a N-terminal fragment N(EC). Following ligand binding, it is cleaved by TNF-alpha converting enzyme (TACE) to yield a membrane-associated intermediate fragment called notch extracellular truncation (NEXT). This fragment is then cleaved by presenilin dependent gamma-secretase to release a notch-derived peptide containing the intracellular domain (NICD) from the membrane NOTCH1 truncation is associated with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. NOTCH1 contains a putative 5 ANK repeats and 36 EGF-like domains.

Agribiz centre named after William Dar
The International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), in Patancheru, India, honored former agriculture Secretary William D. Dar, who served as its Director General from 2000 to 2014, by naming a new building after him.
Known as the 'William D Dar Agribusiness Centre,' the facility houses ICRISAT's Agribusiness and Innovation Platform (AIP).
"In recognition of your achievements as Director General, particularly for your vision in the creation of Inclusive Market Oriented Development (IMOD), the Institute has decided that the building housing the Agribusiness Innovation Platform (AIP) will bear your name," said Chandra A. Madramootoo, chairperson of the ICRISAT governing board.
Dar, with wife Beatriz, witnessed the unveiling of a marker, on February 17, 2017, along with ICRISAT Director General David Bergvinson.
"I consider this event providential, as it happens that one of my latest advocacies and engagements is in agribusiness incubation. Today, the Third World is waking up to the necessity of agribusiness incubation," Dar said in his acceptance speech.
Before retiring in 2014, he founded an agri-based civil society organization called Inang Lupa Movement, Inc.
"I owe ICRISAT the privilege of having founded Inang Lupa. Along with agribusiness incubation, today we are into developing young Filipino farmers into entrepreneurs," noted Dar before dozens of ICRISAT officials and guests at the new 'William D Dar Agribusiness Centre.'
"There is much that Filipinos can borrow from the works at ICRISAT, in terms of systems, approaches, and technologies," added Dar, who served as the agency's director general for an unprecedented three five-year terms.
"I particularly cite the Inclusive Market-Oriented Development or IMOD strategy, where farmers take the lead role and not simply as beneficiaries, and that any project should be market-oriented to ensure that they earn more income along the supply chain, from seed to spoon," said Dar, who is the only Filipino to date who led a global agricultural research institute.
During his term, he said ICRISAT promoted the slogan, "Science with a human face," which always reminded them that science must serve the people.
He has transformed ICRISAT into a financially-stable, and a leading global research institute, receiving several awards particularly from the CGIAR, a consortium of 15 international agricultural research institutes. He has quadrupled the income and investments poured into ICRISAT, from US$ 21 million in 2000 to US$ 85 million in 2014.

Liquid Body Armor
This technology makes significant headway into protecting soldiers' lives
Liquid armor for Kevlar vests is one of the newest technologies designed to save soldiers' lives that's been under development by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory. This type of body armor is light and flexible, allowing soldiers to be more mobile while they're still protected. It doesn't hinder an individual when running or aiming his or her weapon.
The Components of Liquid Armor
The key component of liquid armor is a sheer thickening fluid or STF. This fluid is composed of hard particles suspended in a liquid. The liquid, polyethylene glycol, is non-toxic and it can withstand a wide range of temperatures. Hard nanoparticles of silica form the other component of STF. This combination of flowable and hard components results in a material with unusual properties.
STF is soaked into all layers of a Kevlar vest to make liquid armor.
How Liquid Armor Reacts
The Kevlar fabric holds the STF in place and it also helps to stop bullets. The saturated fabric can be soaked, draped, and sewn just like any other fabric.
During normal handling, the STF is very deformable and flows like a liquid. But when a bullet or frag hits the vest, it transitions to a rigid material. This prevents the projectile from penetrating the soldier's body, according to Dr. Eric Wetzel, a mechanical engineer from the Weapons and Materials Research Directorate who heads the U.S. Army project team. Wetzel and his team have been working on this technology with Dr. Norman J. Wagner and his students from the University of Delaware for several years.
The Goal of the Technology
The goal of the technology is to create a new material that is low cost and lightweight while still offering equivalent or superior ballistic properties compared to current Kevlar fabric. But liquid armor also has more flexibility and less thickness, according to Wetzel. The technology has a lot of potential.
Liquid armor is still undergoing laboratory tests, but Wetzel is enthusiastic about other applications that the technology might be applied to. "The sky is the limit," said Wetzel. "We would first like to put this material in a soldier's sleeves and pants, areas that aren't protected by ballistic vests but need to remain flexible. We could also use this material for bomb blankets, to cover suspicious packages or unexploded ordnance. Liquid armor could even be applied to jump boots so that they would stiffen during impact to support soldiers' ankles."
In addition to saving soldiers' lives, Wetzel said liquid armor used in Kevlar vests could help those who work in law enforcement. "Prison guards and police officers could also benefit from this technology," said Wetzel. "Liquid armor is much more stab-resistant than conventional body armor. This capability is especially important for prison guards, who are most often attacked with handmade sharp weapons."
Wetzel and his team have been awarded the 2002 Paul A. Siple Award, the Army's highest award for scientific achievement, for their work on liquid armor.

I got this to repro following what @mjs513 reported with uncannyeyes from noted thread above.
Something odd in linking or run time loading? There are multiple pieces to load as noted.
Update:: post #3710 has two ZIP files that should hold all the needed parts as I have them
I have gotten it to Fail and then Unfail and it hinges on FaultHandler code being local or the 'weak' version in the Teensy4.

NOTE: Once it compiles to upload a failed repro build - to get back to working SerMon USB seems to take a SECOND Button push to get working SerMon back from USB. The SPI LED will blink - but USB stays corrupted until a second Button Push upload.
<edit> debug_tt - not required if this is placed in the sketch - just toggle: #if 0 and 1.
NOTE: It is not because the HardFault_HandlerC() is truncated - the copy in debug_tt is a full copy - and instead of the minimal copy below I did another FULL copy of the current version from CORES and the repro is the same. The problem seems to be in the linking or code placement in memory - even though in these cases the T4 is never faulting - so the code is never called or executed.

OKAY - I get REPRO when this is changed per note above when this line uncommented:
NOTE: it fails, then Button upload when debug_tt active in sketch by uncommenting or recommenting - when the local copy of "HardFault_HandlerC" comes or goes - just the change in config.h causes the code to recompile and that brings the failure back.Code:T:\tCode\t4\uncannyEyes0\config.h: 136 #define BLINK_PIN 1 // Pin for manual blink button (BOTH eyes) 137 #define LIGHT_PIN A2 // Photocell or potentiometer (else auto iris) 138: //#define LIGHT_PIN_FLIP // If defined, reverse reading from dial/photocell
Note from @mjs513 above:BUT:: IDE SerMon shows Garbage after first upload - it comes online properly with a second Button Upload. It looks like this:To duplicate load up the sketch on a clean install and then just comment/uncomment the lineIn this case uncomment it. You don't even need to have displays attached. To duplicate it though you can't use your debug_tt. If you include it, it some how fixes the problem.Code://#define LIGHT_PIN_FLIP // If defined, reverse reading from dial/photocell
>> This is a telling PIC of bad USB Garbage from other post <<
Then it clears up showing the 64's and is running???
Edit: I am seeing two kinds of fail - the obvious one I removed debug_tt and made the config.h change - T4 not running - no SPI LED and this on SerMon:
The less obvious case it seemed to start and print normally - and had to observe the LED stayed OFF - with no SPI activity.Code:T:\tCode\T4\uncannyEyes0\uncannyEyes0.ino Jul 14 2019 20:57:03 ******** T4 connected Serial_tt ******* debug_tt port T:\tCode\T4\uncannyEyes0\uncannyEyes0.ino Jul 14 2019 20:57:03InitCreate display #Create display #Reset displaysCall init/begin func for each display
--- This text from WIP - before I had clean repro steps ---
<EDIT UPDATE> I am not getting "REPRO / NO REPRO /REPRO / … " by reverting the code?
@mjs513 - is your note saying any change to 'LIGHT_PIN' ? I did get a hang now with it commented - before it was when uncommented?
It does seem to take 'Clean Build' - once it works it seems to persist? Maybe it is a change from change to '\uncannyEyes0\config.h' ?

I have significantly updated my thoughts on this game as of November 2014. Click this link for my second review of Marvel Heroes.
When it comes to gaming, there's one genre that always suckers me in no matter what and that is the action RPG genre. We've received some real gems over time such as Diablo II and Torchlight and, in recent years, the genre has seen a bit of a revival as several noteworthy action RPGs entered development. The four big ones for the last few years have been Diablo III, Path of Exile, Torchlight II, and this very game. Marvel Heroes. Developed by Diablo creator David Brevik, along with many former Blizzard North developers, you'd think that this would be a pretty difficult game to mess up. Well… I don't know how to really put this, but… Continue reading
Boy, am I ever starting to feel old. It's hard to believe that it has been sixteen years since Final Fantasy VII was released. What's less hard to believe is that the game has been given a brand new release on Steam so many years later because, hey, Final Fantasy games stand the test of time perhaps greater than almost any other franchise out there. So, to celebrate the return of Final Fantasy VII on Steam, I'm going to review the game for those who haven't played the game. Yes, there are still people in this day and age who haven't played this massive game! Continue reading
Ah, a first person shooter. A quick glance at the list of reviews I have on here will quickly reveal that I don't play many or, at the very least, I choose not to write about them. This is because I'm not really a major fan of first person shooters. They tend to feel very "samey" in this day and age. Everything is a modern war shooter, I guess because Call of Duty: Modern Warfare took off and everyone wanted to emulate it. Continue reading
BioWare announced recently that Star Wars: The Old Republic will be going free to play this Fall.

CraftStudio is a promising little game development program that flew completely under my radar. What is CraftStudio, you ask? As described by another, it's like a cross between GameMaker and Minecraft. The world as well as models can be crafted entirely out of blocks from within the program and can then be textured using any images of your choosing. Continue reading

Aiming for 16 hours this week with Monday (now lapsed) being my rest day.
So after not rising this morning at 6am for my swim, it's off to the gym later for a power hour before home and onto the Turbo Trainer whilst watching the match (Chelsea Vs Manchester United, she's a big one - I'm a Chelsea Fan).
Now I've a massage booked in for 6pm also so it will be a busy evening ahead. The massage is booked primarily to iron out a tweak in my calf muscle sustained from running. I haven't done enough running in the last week due to cutting my heel and trying to keep the wound from re-opening etc until healed. Then I ran on Friday and I was still compensating for this, resulting in more forefoot running on my right leg. Disaster, resulted in slight calf strain at the end of the run. Now I've experienced this problem before, and my calf muscles do not like forefoot running so it's a case of lesson definitely learned now.
Fortunately it's only a slight strain and feels fine to run on now, and my heel cut is almost clear so I'll be good for the rest of this week and next week before the race.
I'm happy with how my training has gone recently and I've seen some solid time improvements in all disciplines. So this week is about trying to make some more improvements before slightly easing off a bit before the race next Saturday. Next week will be somewhat of a recovery week to ensure I'm completely fresh and ready. I have some training planned in the heat to help acclimatise, but nothing too strenuous.
After tonight, it's up early every day for swim sessions and evenings see a combo of Bike, Brick and Run sessions. Long run on Saturday and long Bike on Sunday then to complete the week and 15 hours of training.
Here's hoping Fernando Torres opens his Chelsea Goal Scoring account tonight and more importantly Chelsea take the win. I'll be shouting from my bike waving sweat around if that's the case!
Next blog will hopefully contain photo's and reports on my anxiously awaiting goodies from Swimovate and Wiggle.
I'm hoping to test the PoolMate Pro towards the end of this week along with some new goggles as mine are fogging up occasionally (still playing with tightness of straps but resulting in nice eye socket surrounds afterwards!)
Happy Training.

President Trump, who has expressed enthusiasm behind closed doors for harsh trade tariffs aimed at China, is headed — for now — toward a more moderate course.
- Trump originally favored a hard line, but was told in a heated meeting that most of his staff and Cabinet were opposed. Economic adviser Gary Cohn and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin argued privately that tough tariffs were bad economics at a time when the market and job rates are strong.
- Trump left staff with the impression he would proceed with tariffs, but has tempered his views amid the internal pressure.
- Before heading off to Europe tomorrow on the second international trip of his presidency, Trump tweeted: "Really great numbers on jobs & the economy! Things are starting to kick in now, and we have just begun! Don't like steel & aluminum dumping!"

Benches and roses
A triple dose of benches from the port city of Kusadasi. If you look just behind the benches, there was a long line of roses. They were beautiful and sweet smelling too! Photo taken in May 2011.
7 comments:
A very interesting photo with so much to take in...it looks like a tourist stop what with the restaurant and various shops...the benches and roses are a nice touch...but I wonder what that one bench is doing out on the walk area...maybe for important tourists?ReplyDelete
@Jacob - there was a public toilet not far from here. I think the attendant pulled that odd bench into the shade to have a nicer place to sit.ReplyDelete
The roses look nice...inviting :)ReplyDelete
wow I love your bench pictures, adorable composition!ReplyDelete
I love the roses and the benches look inviting, but would have to wait till evening - too hot for me I'm afraid:)ReplyDelete

Top Stories
Top Stories Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians calls out from sidelines against the Seattle Seahawks in the second half of an NFL football game, Saturday, Dec. 24, 2016, in Seattle. (AP Photo/John Froschauer) On how their offensive tackles played"I thought Earl (Watford) played lights out. I was really worried about Cliff Avril, and Earl did a great job on him. All of the guys did a good job on Michael Bennett. He got some pressures. Cliff got a couple around the edge pressures, but we were able to keep the center of the pocket pretty solid. John (Wetzel) played really well."On what makes his team a difficult matchup for Seattle"Confidence. When you win in a place, you have confidence. Then you win twice, you have a lot of confidence. I think when our guys go up there with Carson Palmer, we feel very confident that we can win the ball game."On how much Carson Palmer has helped with the changes on the offensive line"He knows how to give a guy confidence and pick him up and not let him worry about failure. That's what leaders do. He said it last week, 'You guys are more worried about them than I am.' He trusts those guys and he knows he's going to have to get it out of his hand, but he stepped up twice and hit that ball to J.J. (Nelson), and guys gave him great protection." TEMPE — Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians meets the media the day after every game, often times explaining injury situations as well as anything else he may have seen the day before. This week he met with the media on Tuesday. It was the first time he's spoken since the win in Seattle.Here in this space, with help from the Cardinals' media relations staff, we'll highlight some of the most notable quotes from his session. Derrick Hall satisfied with D-backs' buying and selling Your browser does not support the audio element. The 5: Takeaways from the Coyotes' introduction of Alex Meruelo On the main reason Seattle was able to move the ball in the second half"Early we were rushing the passer and they were running it and it opened up some gaps, which slows down the pass rush. We have to stop the run. Then they were throwing it quicker. We gave up four explosives. One was Pat (Peterson) was looking in the backfield and they got a big one on him, and the play where we had the miscommunication and missed tackle on Jimmy Graham. Those were the big ones, but we still got after the quarterback pretty good. They were throwing a lot more shorter routes too. In which case we have to get our hands up and bat some balls down."On if the Cardinals offense is throwing quicker due to the makeshift offensive line"Yes and no. I think we've probably thrown it deeper the last month than we have all season, more successfully. Obviously the 80-yard pass we were back there holding them. We were holding them in the two-minute drive. But we've changed – we've always thrown the ball quick. It's a misnomer that every pass we throw is down the field. Every pass we have somebody that's going deep, but all the rest of the guys are going short."On what has helped in throwing deeper the last month "Receivers are playing better, J.J. (Nelson) is healthy, Smoke (John Brown) is healthy; we had him open two weeks ago against New Orleans. The lack of practice, timing, because he doesn't practice on Wednesday and Thursday, and he didn't have that gear Carson's used to seeing him have and he misses him by 16 inches. Those things hurt the deep balls more than anything, and then just not coming down with 50/50 balls."On if the secondary will look the same even with guys that they pick up this week"Yeah, we'll see whether or not Trevon (Hartfield), Harlan (Miller), whoever is back there at safety, whether that's the move. There's a good chance Coop (Marcus Cooper) will be back, so that could really help out."On how D.J. Humphries is progressing"He will not play in this game, whether he passes or not. I'm not going to take that chance with his future."On how tough it is for a corner to transition to safety without working at the position"You better not know what you're doing, because all he (Harlan Miller) heard was stay deep and he did. That's what a safety does, and you have to make tackles. Luckily they didn't break anything to him. But, if you're listening in the meetings, you should know what everybody does." LISTEN: Bruce Arians, Arizona Cardinals head coach Former Cardinals kicker Phil Dawson retires He began with an opening statement"Hope everybody had a good holiday. Injuries after the ballgame – Tony (Jefferson) has a grade two MCL; he'll go on IR. Boggsy (Taylor Boggs) has a subluxed shoulder; he'll also go on IR. We'll make some roster moves and have all of that to you. Not sure yet which direction we'll go at safety. Obviously very happy with Harlan (Miller) – probably screw him up if we coach him. Sometimes ignorance is bliss."We had so many game balls to give out I can't really name them all – Rodney for blocking the field goal, sack and the great production he had within his 15 plays; Alex Okafor for the great effort on the punt block, Harlan, the offensive line. I thought it was probably one of the best protections we have had in Seattle with that group. We're looking forward to this week, finishing strong. We'll have more guys up. Hopefully ones we bring in off the street I'll know their name. We've been there before too. We were playing Kansas City when I was interim coach and a guy got a sack and I had to say 'what the hell is his name?' He just showed up on Tuesday. It was Jamaal Westerman, I don't forget it now, but it was a big play in the game. So those things happen. Looking forward to finish it up and then reflecting back." On the decision to put Tyrann Mathieu on injured reserve"He just wasn't ready to play. He was hurting the team as much as taking a chance at hurting him. He just couldn't play at his level."On how important it is for Mathieu going into the offseason not having to rehab"It will be the first one in a while so you'd think it would be very important, that he could get a good solid offseason of just working on technique and working on fundamentals."On D.J. Swearinger playing in Tony Jefferson's role in Seattle"He did a heck of a job. The communication, all but one play, was fantastic. We had one check that ended up as a touchdown, but it was more of a missed tackle. He played real solid."On Swearinger matching up against Jimmy Graham quite a bit"That was the matchup anyway, that position, whoever it was – whether it's zone or man – we didn't play a hell of a lot of man in that game, so you had to carry him through the zone."On how Evan Boehm played"He played really well when he didn't screw up. It's just blitzes that he turned guys loose up the middle. That happens real fast when you're at guard. When he was on his guy, he blocked really well." Comments Share On if Boehm's struggles were more mental than physical"He had three of them. He had three mentals, and two of them were blitzes up the middle where he stayed on the end and didn't come back inside for the blitzer, and Carson did a good job of throwing it away. The problem one was a big third down at the end of the game when we're trying to get a first down."On if they will stick with Evan Boehm at guard this week"Yes."On if there are common denominators when special teams plays well compared to when they don't this year"Injuries; kickers, snappers, holders and then injuries. When you take out your top five cover guys and they're on injured reserve, you're not going to cover as well. And, the glaring play was the kickoff return in Minnesota."On if he has coached in the LA Coliseum before"Yes, when the Raiders were there and I was with the Chiefs. Very interesting crowd."On how Justin Bethel and Brandon Williams played"They did fantastic. Brandon, he got a couple of penalties, but he was battling over there all day. I thought he got a chance for an interception, got OPI and they didn't call it. Justin may have had his best game as a Cardinal, as far as a defensive back, and looked really good at nickel. He's a good blitzer. He's a good tackler, so it's a good spot for him. It's just that Ty (Tyrann Mathieu) and those other guys play that position most of the time." Grace expects Greinke trade to have emotional impact

The planning overview is one of the cornerstones of AutoPilot. By regular revision of the project's ETC, the project leaders ensure that the finances are current in all projects.
The project leader therefore has control of the individual project's finances and can intervene, communicate and be business aware.
The project leader creates projects and activates them. Subsequently the project leader plans the progress of the project.
Accordingly, the project leader is able to allocate the required staffing and create the ETC budget.
A simple colour coding will show if the activities are available for further registration of hours or not. This ensures a realistic registration and thereby reliable business intelligence data.
If the project's fee is divided between its activities, an Expected Current Rate of Return will be shown per activity. This gives the project leader an early warning for those activities that will have financial trouble. This makes it possible for early intervention if necessary.
Sound project management is the foundation of a sound project management culture.
The project is then divided into work packages and activities as required by the project leader.
An Expected Current Rate of Return is calculated based on the number of hours used and ETC budget.
The planning overview shows the spare capacity for each employee and is used, in cooperation with other project leaders, to reallocate staffing resources that conflict with each other.
The Capacity Graph will quickly reveal if the budgeted staffing hours are nearing their capacity limit, and if it is time to bring in external resources, or if there is too little work in relation to the staffing hours available.
The timesheet is a cornerstone in AutoPilot. All employees fill in and submit their timesheets daily. This ensures the company has up-to-date information of all projects' management foundation.
The project leader has decided what activities are open to registration for each project. The timesheet automatically shows the activities an employee is allocated to.
The only thing the user needs to do, is to register the number of hours. It is possible to link notes and expenses to the hours. If the project leader has switched on the pencil icon, a note is needed about the number of hours spent.
The Submit function provides the user with the possibility of checking the figures before submitting them. After submitting, the registrations will automatically become part of the basis of billing and automatically enter into the project leader's planning and forecast of the projects' Expected Rate of Return.
A sound and accurate culture of registration is fundamental for a sound project management culture.
The billing system has access to all elements in the Project Business Information Model, such as:
- The agreed fee
- The number of hours spent
- Subcontractor expenses and other expenses
- Instalment payment plans for billing
The billing system provides the most outstanding service to the customer:
- The invoice can be sent as soon as the basis for billing occurs
- The invoice can show work packages to match the demands of the customer
- Previous invoices, the remainder of the billing and remaining balance can be shown
- The number of hours spent can be shown including any notes employees may have made
The project leader registers the agreed fees and the fee breakdown.
The project leader can continuously review the project's ETC Plan and create invoice proposals for the projects. Thereby the project leaders have an overview of the finances of all projects.
In this way, project leaders perform sound project management by:
- Being at the forefront
- Intervening
- Communicating
- Being business aware
A sound billing culture completes a sound project management culture.
Knowing your Business
The Management team is able to analyse the company's earning capacity apportioned on self-selected criteria, by using business intelligence.
The Management team sets up the framework for the analysis themselves.
In the example below, the Management team has divided the company into sectors and grouped the projects by fee ranges.
The AutoPilot concept of software, business development and software support aids everything in regards to realistic registration.
Through continued and sustained support from the Management team, this will ensure reliable data and thereby reliable Business Intelligence.
Business critical decisions will then become well-founded.
