Stade Francais 27 Munster 7
Munster crashed out of Europe for the second season in succession as they went down to 14-man Stade Francais in the French capital tonight.
With two games in their Champions Cup pool still to play, a third straight defeat means Anthony Foley's side cannot progress to the knockout stages in a competition they once ruled with two Heineken Cup success in 2006 and 2008.
They were beaten by a Stade side lacking some big name players such as French forwards Pascal Papé, Alexandre Flanquart and Australian scrum-half Will Genia. They left French prop Rabah Slimani on the bench and even lost wing Josaia Raisuqe to a red card on the stroke of half-time but Munster could still not find the clinical edge their play desperately needed.
At 27-0 with less than 10 minutes to go following tries from Paul Williams, Hugo Bonneval man of the match Sylvain Macalou, Munster managed to avoid a first European whitewash when Conor Murray finally got points on the board with a try converted from the left-hand touchline by Rory Scannell but they will rue two missed first-half penalties from Ian Keatley that would have altered the complexion of this contest had they gone over at critical moments.
Munster had trailed 10-0 at half time and once again must have had head coach Foley scratching his head in bewilderment at how his team had found themselves so far behind the eight ball.
The visitors had taken the game to the Parisians in a bright and encouraging start, dominating possession and territory thanks to some more smart game management from Ian Keatley.
The fly-half, man of the match in the long awaited win over Ulster last Saturday, nearly caught Stade napping after 10 minutes when he looked to have finished off a slick attacking move featuring two great offloads, from Rory Scannell and Keith Earls, Keatley collecting from his wing and kicking ahead, his chase running down the dawdling Raisuqe to contest the touchdown, only for the TMO to spare his blushes.
Keatley had a further chance to get Munster in front on 18 minutes but missed a kick from the right that would have given the Irish side a deserved lead, despite the early losses to injury of full-back Andrew Conway and tighthead BJ Botha.
Instead, it was Stade who had the clinical finishing touch Munster have been sorely missing, centre Paul Williams running a great line to collect a pass from scrum-half Julien Dupuy, evading Dave Foley's tackle and a desparing rescue bid from CJ Stander to score the opening try, Morné Steyn converting from close-range.
It was quickly 10-0 to the Frech champions when Steyn added a penalty but the game took another turn just before the break when Raisuqe saw red, the TMO catching him with his fingers in CJ Standers face as they grappled for the ball with Munster on a penalty advantage.
All that was left was for Keatley to add the points from the penalty, just behind the Stade 10-metre line, and turn the pressure back onto the now 14-man French champions at the half-time break.
Amidst a cacophony of whistles and boos from a home crowd angry at the sending off, he failed to find the posts and Munster went in still with plenty of work to do, leaving those six points from the tee behind them.
The Irish province should have started the second half with their tails up, one man to the good and not a milliin miles behind on the scorebaord but instead it was the depleted Stade side who looked to have the upper hand from the off.
Munster failed to make inroads or their extra man count, although they had a Rory Scannell try disallowed due to a forward pass to the centre from midfield partner Francis Saili. Yet they were no match for a Stade side who despite struggling in defence of their league title came up trumps here with a less than full-strength side.
The tries came late to bury Munster hopes and the Reds looked a ragtag bunch as Macalou evaded four tackles to put the game beyond them in the 67th minute, Bonneval's score merely inflicting further punishment on a desperate day for the men in red.

It's been a rough few months for the Gulf countries as leaders work hard to put together an economic blueprint that looks beyond petrol. Now, there is reason to feel pumped.
The Monster Employment Index (MEI) for April 2016 shows hiring is strong in four sectors other than oil & gas—notably Consumer Goods, Healthcare, Production and Manufacturing, and IT & Telecom.
Consumer Goods/FMCG, Food and Packaged Food, Home Appliance, Garments/Textiles/Leather, Gems and JewelleryGrowing population and greater disposable income is driving growth in these sectors. The food and packaged food industry in particular is witnessing robust growth driven by a rise in the demand for ready-to-eat products. This in turn has led to a requirement of sales executives, quality assurance officers, chefs and 'mystery shoppers'—people hired to visit stores anonymously and report their experiences to the company. Year-on-year growth: 27% | Find a job in Consumer Electronics and Food/Pacakged Food sector
HealthcareThe mushrooming of healthcare facilities in Dubai is leading many to view UAE's largest city as the next global healthcare hub. The government's decision to make health insurance mandatory has also given the medical sector a fillip. There is a strong demand for specialist doctors, nurses, medical assistants, physiotherapists, hospital administrators and HR personnel.
Year-on-year growth: 14% | Find Healthcare jobs hereProduction/Manufacturing, Automotive and AncillaryAs the Gulf nations try and wean away from their dependence oil, governments are turning to sectors such as production and manufacturing to diversify their economies. The UAE has already announced plans to increase the contribution of manufacturing from the current 11% of GDP to 25% by 2025, while Saudi Arabia is investing in building six new "economic cities". The result is more jobs for a variety of posts, from technician and supervisor to accountant, salesmen, engineers and managers. Year-on-year growth: 11% | Find Production and Manufacturing jobs here
IT and TelecomEconomic growth, rising smartphone penetration and increasing data consumption have led to a robust growth in the IT and Telecom sectors. Government initiatives have also led to the establishment of many ICT companies, several of which have their offices in Dubai. Growth in IT and Telecom has led to a correspondingly large requirement for software engineers, team leaders, technicians, telecom engineers and other professionals.
Year-on-year growth: 8% | Find IT & Computer Softwares jobs hereClearly, there is no death of work opportunities in the Gulf. If you're deciding on a career or looking for a change, it's as good a time as any to send that application.

Fellow Edos, at home and in the diaspora, it is with a great sense of history, conscious of the responsibility of leadership toward our people, that I extend my gratitude to all who have participated in this historic primaries which present us an opportunity to change the destiny of our people for good for all time.
I hereby extend a hand of fellowship to my fellow contestants and I call for party unity. Beyond our personal quests, the yearning of our people for great governance must tower above everything else. We are stronger when we unite.
I salute all the elders of our party and all the party officials who have worked tirelessly to make the primaries a successful event.
Today, I stand on the shoulders of those who have come before us, our forebears who went through great challenges to establish us as a people, spreading the fame of the Benin Empire all the way through Yoruba land, Cotonou, Togo and to present-day Southern Ghana.
That is a heritage of which all of us should be very proud, and one, any person, aspiring to office in this land should be very aware of, and to accept as a challenge, that we cannot be less than those who came before us.
North, South or Central, Christian or Muslim, we the people of Edo State are one. We share a common heritage. We come from a long line of great Kings and great achievers, one of the most prominent of whom was King Ewuare the great (Ogidigan) Uku Akpolokpolo, one of the world's most illustrious ancient Kings who during his reign, consolidated, developed and expanded the kingdom through innovative leadership ideas, closely knit, disciplined community organization, warfare and conquests.
In modern times, we have had equally illustrious leaders in Edo State from the days when it was known as the Midwestern region, then Bendel and now Edo. I pay tribute to each and everyone on all sides of the political divide as they built, block upon block to get us where we are today.
With the experience I have gathered through the years, in government and from the private sector, I know how to fight for you and I am determined to fight for you.
I will fight to make sure we have the best trained, best equipped and best motivated teachers in the country; In order to do this, first we must revive our teacher training colleges.
I will fight to bring our children into the digital age. They must be able to compete with their mates around the world.
I will fight to ensure that we evolve the best Healthcare Industry in Nigeria and bring medical tourism to Edo State. Maternal mortality and infant mortality which currently stands at over 17% nationally is unacceptable and must be reversed.
We will give value to our Healthcare workers to make them the envy of the rest of Nigeria. I will fight to industrialize Edo State by revolutionizing Agriculture, which has the longest value chain to provide jobs for our teeming youth population. Focused attention on Agriculture is the cure to unemployment. We will create cluster farm settlements in all Senatorial zones across the state and establish commodity marketing boards to purchase all produce which will be channeled for further processing within the state to add value and create in the process, hundreds of thousands of jobs.
We must create jobs to reduce crime and I will be tough on crime. We will launch a –SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING (SSSS) campaign across the State to ensure that criminals find our state an unbearable place to do business.
I will fight to restore the dignity and pride of our young women. In partnership with NGOs in the State, country and across the world, we would ensure that the average Edo woman is as resourceful, efficient and productive as women in the most advanced countries.
I will fight to ensure that our senior citizens do not slide into poverty in retirement;
I will fight to ensure we run a government that is inclusive across religion and tribe.
Today, I ask for your support.
I have come to serve.
This election unlike many before now is happening in a time of extreme hardship as poverty stalks the land. The question you must ask now is this; which candidate has the best plans to help put food on the table by providing jobs for the people of Edo State? How do they plan to provide the jobs?
I have come to give you hope but I also have a plan. It is called the SIMPLE agenda. Please, TRUST ME. I am a farmer. We can grow enough food to feed our people in Edo State and send food to other parts of Nigeria. That is a promise I am committed to. TRUST ME.
Thank you. God bless all of you. God bless Edo State and may God bless Nigeria. #TheFutureisNow Take it.

A messy house or closet is always a source of stress for me. Just knowing that all that junk is lurking in there is enough to make me cringe. But cleaning out a house can be easier than you thought!
Please rate and comment on this article. Thanks! :)
Start with less-used storage areas (You'll see why later). When I clean, I usually take everything out of the closet and put it all over the floor of the room. That way, you have to clean it to use that room again. It's like built-in motivation.
I separate everything into four piles, and I like to use laundry baskets to keep them separated. In one basket, I place everything I've used in the last six months. Those are the only things I allow myself to keep. Everything else I've forgotten I had, and therefore don't need.
In the second basket, I place relatively usable clothes that I haven't used in more than six months. These go into the "donate basket". They are still usuable, but I know that I won't use them if I haven't in the last six months.
In basket number three, I place all items that cannot be donated but are still potentially usuable. These items go into the "yard sale" basket. Almost anything you don't want can go in this pile. Just make sure there's enough in the donation basket before you load this one up.
Basket four is just a trash bucket. This basket is basically for anything you can't name or find a use for. Many people attempt to sell everything (even total junk) in a yard sale first, and then anything that doesn't get sold gets tossed.
Everything from basket number one can be returned to the closet it came from. Just remember to put things back in an orderly manner. This leaves more room for more junk... just kidding. :)
Things Needed
- ['time (especially for a lot of clutter)', 'helpers (optional)']
Drop the donate-ables off at your local food pantry or church. Organize a yard sale with friends to make money off your formerly messy closets! Use the extra money to go out to eat with your entrepreneurial friends. :)
Make sure nothing gets thrown out without you and your friends getting an opportunity to trade junk. Just don't take home more junk than you got rid of!

Do you ever feel that reading certain blogs is a compilation of triviality? I know sometimes, I feel that about my own blog. (I don't mean this post to be about any blog I read or comment on, so don't get paranoid readers!)
The main problem is there is not a lot new in "gardening". For a beginning gardener there is a wealth of information, but for the experienced, not so much.
Plants are new, but a plant tag of a locally grown plant tells you all you need to know generally. GWGT takes you to gardens around the world where I try to write commentary of design interest with each garden I visit. But that is getting a bit tiresome from my perspective. Well designed gardens the world over are not always that much different in design since design principles are used in their creation. I like showing and explaining good garden/planting ideas though!
While posting on gardening more, I have been posting less frequently in general, but do try to avoid the trivial (but not always) and pointless in my own posts and in the reading of others. I want to see something I don't know, something of great beauty, or something of great interest.
How much of that can one possibly get from a home garden blogged about every week? I pretty much have shelved you seeing my own garden for this reason. There are years and years of 1000 posts to see already. I am also redesigning a portion of my garden again.
Some blog posts are becoming more and more like Facebook postings in triviality it seems. A picture here and there with little reading of substance. Great if that how one wants to blog, but myself, I find this a waste of time. I too have wasted readers time talking about the drought we have been having.
Even photography is taking a backseat in quality. I have to admit being lethargic on photography myself, especially when doing garden photography, even shots of large gardens. How many macro flowers does one need to see, especially at this time of year? I try to show gardens as a whole, not a flower at a time.
When I am Trivial
Since I just posted on raising a Monarch, I guess that borders on trivial as far as gardening goes since no advice or tips were included. And the post on my garden through the month talks a lot about the lack of rain here. A bit trivial to other places around the rest of the country, especially those which experienced flood conditions.
This month's garden post just mentioned having lots of flowers and again, the lack of rain. So what besides the photos is of interest on posts? Should they start a meaningful discussion? Or at least say more than a weather report?
Photos, yes, those photos…
When did I lose my enthusiasm for garden photography? I can't really say. I love visiting gardens, I love talking design and doing design – and I love taking photos in general, though, not of my own garden any longer. I am sure there will be garden images to come, but likely not for a while.
There are such important things happening out there in the world today, and too many people just bury their heads in the sand sometimes. There are too many pressing issues worth discussing and too many places to see worth seeing.
This is not a travel, landscape, photography, birding, or wildlife blog even though I post on these topics often, but I find them far more compelling a subject to discuss or photograph. My interests and passion for nature vary, so does the variety of postings.
See the World even if that World is Only a Few Miles Away
More on a visit to the UK up next. I bet I tell you something you did not know. I don't want you bored like some old-fashioned slide-show people are forced to watch at a family reunion, so I add something I learned while abroad.
How is garden blogging for you? Tired of blogging or still pumped to put out post after post on your garden? With what is going on in this world, I feel a bit trivial talking about a garden. How about you? I'll warn you next post I do that has nothing of interest, Trivial Time…

Guillermo del Toro is going big with Pacific Rim — very big. The latest film by the director of Pan's Labyrinth and Hellboy is a big-budget sci-fi adventure that sees 25-story-high mega-mechs battling 25-story-high kaiju mega-monsters — think Godzilla vs. Gundam. It's his largest film to date, not only in budget but in scope. "I went for a very operatic, very grand, very crazy type of imagery," del Toro told Wired.
In our video interview, we talked with the director about the tradeoff between emotion and spectacle, using special effects versus sets and his "benign dictatorship" while filming the movie. Pacific Rim debuts July 11, 2013.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Twitter Removes Millions Of Followers From Its Site
Twitter has just done some major housekeeping. It has started the process of removing locked accounts from people's follower lists.
While that won't result in you losing more than a few followers, some of the biggest names on the site are in for something of a shock.
According to the Washington Post, the likes of Donald Trump and Barack Obama have already seen their followers drop by around 100,000 and 400,000 respectively.
A locked account is one that has been restricted by Twitter from posting on the site because it has detected behaviour that it finds suspicious such as posting huge numbers of tweets within a short time or sending unsolicited replies or mentions.
These could include anything from a person who has been behaving inappropriately on the site to bots that have been created by a computer program.
The firm said the removal of locked accounts – believed to number in the millions – is part of effort to "improve the health" of conversation on the platform by deleting suspicious and inactive accounts.
Twitter has been under pressure to take action on nefarious accounts and malicious content following criticism over its policing of the platform.
Singer Katy Perry is the most followed person on Twitter, with 110 million followers.
"Over the years, we've locked accounts when we detected sudden changes in account behaviour," Twitter spokeswoman Vijaya Gadde said.
"In these situations, we reach out to the owners of the accounts and unless they validate the account and reset their passwords, we keep them locked with no ability to log in.
"This week, we'll be removing these locked accounts from follower counts across profiles globally. As a result, the number of followers displayed on many profiles may go down."
Twitter said the accounts differ from spam or bots – another area where the platform is clamping down – because locked accounts are predominately created by real people, but Twitter is no longer able to confirm they are still in control of the account.
Ms Gadde said: "We sometimes lock an account if we see email and password combinations from other services posted online and believe that information could put the security of an account at risk — so we require accounts to change their passwords for protection.
"Until we confirm that everything is OK with the account, we lock it, which makes them unable to tweet or see ads.
"Our ongoing work to improve the health of conversations on Twitter encompasses all aspects of our service.
"This specific update is focused on followers because it is one of the most visible features on our service and often associated with account credibility. Once an account is locked, it cannot tweet, like or retweet and it is not served ads."
Twitter said removing the accounts would not affect the site's figures on daily or monthly active users, as locked accounts that have not reset their password for a month are not counted in the statistics.
Unilever chief marketing officer Keith Weed said Twitter's stance should be applauded.
"Our digital ecosystem is being polluted by a growing number of fake user accounts, so Twitter's commitment to cleaning up the digital space should be welcomed wholeheartedly by everyone, from users of the platforms to creators and advertisers.
"I applaud Twitter for taking a stand on this issue. It shows the market is moving in the right direction.
"Greater transparency leads to greater authenticity, which in turn builds trust. This is a big step for the industry and I hope others will follow suit."

Louis Latour have received some fantastic scores from James Suckling and we're delighted to share some of the with you. In the article "Great Burgundy you can actually buy: 2015 and 2016 shine" were the following scores and comments:
Romanee-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru 2016 - Score 100 limited availability
This is a grand cru that shows its intensity and complexity and greatness from the beginning. Blackberry licorice and stone aromas. Full body and a center palate that shows ripe fruit and full richness. Then the tannins kick in. Great wine. Drink in 2024.
Corton Grand Cru Chateau Grancey 2016 - Score 99
Love the depth of fruit and intensity of this wine. It has dark fruit and floral undertones, as well as meat, which is very captivating. Full body, purity of fruit and nice, powerful tannins. Chewy and powerful. Focused austerity. A wine for the cellar. Try in 2022.
Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2016 - Score 98 limited availability
This is a phenomenal wine that reminds me why I love wine. It's a snowball effect. It has a full body with ultra-fine tannins. It just rolls off the palate. A phenomenal finish. The purity, focus and balance to this is mind-blowing. Three barrels. Try in 2024.
Chambertin Grand Cru 2016 - Score 97
There's a pretty massive tannin structure behind this concentrated and muscular wine, which needs a lot more time. But it's so vibrant right now. Try to wait at least until 2020. If you can wait five years then this will surely be even more exciting.
Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru 2016 - Score 97-98 limited availability
Compacted and powerful yet always in finesse and beauty. Great transparency. Full-bodied, tight and focused with lemongrass, stone, dried lemons and green apples. Excellent length. Drink a couple of years after release and beyond.
Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2016 - Score 96-97 limited availability
A layered and sexy Bâtard with sliced cooked apples, pie crust and vanilla. Wet stone. Full body with delicious and pretty ripe fruit. Sexy. Hard not to drink now. But wait until it is released.
Corton Grand Cru Clos de la Vigne au Saint 2016 - Score 96
This is really classy with beautiful tannins and pretty ripe fruit. Linear and fine. Full body, gorgeous tannins and a breathtaking finish. Wow. Drink in 2022.
Corton Grand Cru Perrieres 2016 - Score 96
Very complex nose with black fruits, as well as spicy, earthy and animal notes. In spite of the power and concentration, the wine is still sleek and racy. Breathtaking finish! Think long term. This will gain so much through two or three years of patience.
Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2016 - Score 96
This is a formidable white that grows on the palate with dried apples, pears, lemons and hints of lime. Full-bodied, tight and focused. This is a tight and powerful wine. Phenolic and bright. This is an ager as always. Get it on release.
Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Les Referts 2016 - Score 95
This is a very complete white with dried fruits, such as lemons and grapefruit, as well as fresh fruit. Namely, apples and green mangoes. Full-bodied, layered and tight with vivid acidity and brightness. Fantastic. Drink in 2020.
Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru Les Suchots 2016 - Score 95 limited availability
A very classic high-end Vosne-Romanee with deep black fruits on the nose. Multifaceted and very beautifully balanced. A really long, refined finish. This is already very seductive. Drink or hold. This has a couple of decades ahead of it.
Please note all of these wines are made in small quantities, please contact your Account Manager for more details or call the office on 020 7409 7276.

SCSM: Notification workflow on Work Item assignments
Update: I have written an additional blog entry on this topic to address both Service Requests and Release Records. This post can be found here: Notification workflow on Work Item assignments (Part 2)
The Microsoft Service Manager team has written two great blogs on how to create the workflows required in Service Manager to send out notifications when a work item has been assigned/re-assigned. Initially you might think this could be done in the UI, but actually it must be done in XML. The Service Manager team has provided great examples on how to do this for both Incidents and Activities.
The blog for Incidents can be found here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/servicemanager/archive/2009/12/15/custom-notification-workflow-on-incident-assignement-or-re-assignment.aspx?PageIndex=2.
The blog for Activities can be found here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/servicemanager/archive/2010/03/12/custom-notification-workflow-on-activity-assignment-or-reassignment.aspx.
I followed the blogs above and got it working in no time for both my Incidents and Activities. However, I also wanted to do this for my Problems and Change Requests. Both of these can be accomplished by swapping out various pieces in the XML (ie. replace WorkItem.Activity with WorkItem.ChangeRequest in the XML, changing the Management Pack references, and a few other items). I found I had to be careful when doing my find/replace as I had to make sure I got all the references right (ie. the WriteAction for my Problem Workflow uses the Incident Assembly (Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ServiceManager.Incident.Workflows)).
I also wanted to use Notification Templates I had already created in the GUI, so I used a GUID for my Notification Templates in the XML. As documented in the first blog above, you simply modify the following tag:
<WorkflowArrayParameter Name="NotificationTemplates" Type="guid">
You can run the following query on your cmdb to find your GUID:
SELECT TOP 1000 [ObjectTemplateId]
FROM [ServiceManager].[dbo].[ObjectTemplate]
Finally, for my Incidents, I wanted my Affected User to get a seperate notificate (using a different template) in addition to the Assigned to user. This is actually simple to do. We just need to add two additional <Item> tags. The first one is an addition <Item>GUID</Item> under the <WorkflowArrayParameter Name="NotificationTemplates" Type="guid"> tag, this is for the second template. The other is an additional <Item> tag under the <WorkflowArrayParameter Name="UserAliasOrRelationships" Type="string"> for the relationship. In my case, to send to the affected user, the tag is like this: <Item>16FBB858-634F-1732-9D44-92F161F10706</Item>.
If you don't want to worry about having to mess with a lot of XML, I have included at the bottom of this post, working examples of these Management Packs to create the notifications for all types of Work Items. Only my Incident Management Pack contains two notifications. To make these Management Packs work in your environment, all you will need to edit is the GUID in the <Item> tag for the Notification Templates, example below:
<WorkflowArrayParameter Name="NotificationTemplates" Type="guid">
<Item>Change this GUID</Item>
You can also simply use these Management Packs as a guide to modifying your own. Once you are done making changes, simply import the management packs and the workflows will begin processing.
Mar 12 2011
Actually yes your right in your first paragraph, you would think that this would be done in the GUI. I like SCSM, but it really feels like a unfinished product. Hell the Exchange Connector is an unofficial bolt on…
Let's hope the next version is more complete

I am totally new with this product and trying to do proof of concept. I am not a coder and I thought some more basic staff will be available from the box. Maybe they are somewhere there, but I do not know how to find them. I just want that affected user can receive email when the incident is created for him. Now I can see end user notification template but I have no clue what else I need to do. I setup the notification channel and I follow those 2 links. It works good. At lease assigned agent gets email notification.
I saw you explained this, but I need something more for dummies who never worked with xml. Is there are any document that explains step by step "how to notify an affected user when the incident is created? If you may do some snapshots it would be great.
Mar 31 2011
Thank you so much. It works. 🙂

Does anyone know how to add a specific individual to be notified when an Incident is assigned to an analyst. For example, if my boss wants to be notified whenever a ticket is assigned to an analyst, how do I find the UserAliasOrRelationships String needed in that "Notification workflow on Work Item assignments MP", that will allow email to be sent to "boss". whenever an analyst gets assigned the ticket.
Nov 16 2011
Maybe this is a little late, but I use the Subscriptions to notify individuals (like the boss) when certain criteria are set (like escalate). Its also used for area directors who want to be apprised of all the workings in their area.
Feb 13 2012
Just as follow up to my first post almost 12 months ago, this is still missing from the 2012 release, (confimed by the MS product manager).
They hope to include in future releases…..hmmm
Even this next version is begining to feel like an unfinished product.

Hi Brent,
This MP has helped me a bit. The thing is that I want to combine the status and assignment in the notification of activities. The notification must be send when the status of activity turns from Pending to in Progress and the assigned to user is nnot empty. Or when the status is in Progress and the assignee name is changing. For he last part I used your MP, that is when the assignee name is changing. But Then I receive at least two notification for each activitie that is on my name. First when it is assigned to me when pending, and second when the activity is becoming active i.e when the status turns to in Progress. How to combine it whit your MP? I tried to figure that out, but tweaking a MP is quite complicated.
Feb 25 2013
Did you try this for Review Activity ? I have been trying without sucess
Sep 27 2019
Once this MP is applied. It only sends the initial email. But if I update the assigned to tech to another tech the email will not come out. Do you have instructions to make this happen?
Thank You in advance
Oct 1 2019
HI Brent,
Thank you for your assistance on this since this is an old post. I have narrowed it down. If you have both UserRelationshipIDList for Assigned To and Affected User then it wont email out. But if you only have the Assigned To or only the Affected User guid it works every time. If I find the solution I will post it on here for everyone if they run into this issue as well. If you have any thoughts please let me know.
Thank you,

In this article Steven Baker, a veteran of dispersed agile software development teams, shares his experiences and recommendations for keeping the communication, camaraderie, and personal connections alive in a distributed setting. When you don't occupy the same office for the same period of time every day with your co-workers, you can't walk to your co-worker's desk, or turn around in your chair to have a chat about what you're working on. There is no water cooler to mill around get in the loop on what's happening, and having lunch together is difficult. Differences in location, timezone, and working hours, can all combine to make you and the members of your team disconnected from each other. ThisRead More »

With everyone so busy these days, we don't always take the time to check our financial statements.
Especially our credit card statements. We are all aware of identity theft, and being careful about our debit and credit cards and pin numbers etc.., but what about small errors. Errors that show up on your statements?
With points cards out there and everyone collecting points for free travel, entertainment and more, we are using our cards all the time. I know myself, that with the points I collect on my Visa, I am able to do some traveling for a deep discount on airfare, just by buying the things I do naturally, but by using my card.
Therefore, the statement is looking bigger each month, as I use it in the grocery store, gas station, and all purchases in order to get the points. As long as I am still able to pay off the balance each month, then these points are truly a good deal. (Remember, most points cards are much higher interest if you don't pay them on time and therefore would offset any travel discounts)

Take the Time and Check Each and Every Item
But last month, I just happened to be going down the list of items on my statement, and noticed a couple of duplicate entries. When I think back to one of them, I remember the clerk in the restaurant having a hard time with her portable device for cards that she would bring to the table, it actually looked like it didn't go through and so she did it again. When I got my statement, it was on their twice.
I know this was just an error, because I was doing this with her, but what if I didn't bother to look at each item? I would have paid an extra 32 dollars..
I looked further down the page, to find that an automatic bill that I was no longer paying with my card was still showing up on my statement. The month before I had cancelled in writing a subscription that was being charged to my VISA. I had received a letter back, stating that they had stopped all charges. But there is was on my VISA bill.
I phoned the Visa company with regards to the duplicate restaurant charge and they saw it, and took it off. But only because I called. Then I called the subscription company, and they said it went through in error, and promised to correct it. I then phone the VISA company and told them about the subscription company and they were put on watch.
So, just by taking the time, to look at my Visa statement I saved myself almost 100.00 dollars that would have just been paid without any questions asked.
So, next time you get your statement in the mail, really check each and every item. I quite often keep my store receipts and match them up with the statement and attach them to it. This creates the habit each month of watching my statement. After that incident, I watch for errors all the time. Sometimes it is the store and many times it is the company. So, start watching for those smaller errors. It is not just the big ones you need to watch out for. But if you are using your card all the time like me, and the amounts are different each month, then you need to take a good close look and check for errors.
I have found errors two months in a row now. My hubby purchased gas, and used his card, and it went through twice on the statement. If you don't say anything, no one else will. It is your money, try to keep it!
I told my sister-in-law about these errors and she checked her statement as she uses her Visa all the time, and she found 49 dollars in duplicate entries. It is totally worth checking.

Common Ground
Photographs courtesy of the brands & artists
There's nothing like working with new people, brands and partners to bring forth fresh ideas and perspectives. More than a sum of their parts, collaborations often manifest as novel products, concepts and a myriad of other projects that both participants and non-participants can experience and enjoy. Such is the significance of collaboration that the Pop-up segment of SingaPlural—which aims to foster the growth of homegrown brands by pairing them with local designers—was conceived. We reach out to some of this year's collaborators to find out more.
Modern Traditions
At first glance, the three items that IN GOOD COMPANY (IGC), forest&whale (f&w) and Visual Orgasm Tattoo and Piercing (VO) will present in conjunction with Scene Shang seem disparate and unconnected. Yet upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that across all of them—whether a bowl, Chinese chess set or bench—a consistent philosophy prevails: that of creating Asian-inspired products that preserve the voices of their designers.
Beauty in the Vernacular
As Victor (founder of ETTETEA) rightly points out, tea drinking is a total experience that engages with each of our senses in turn. Yet, like the Pandan flavour that defines so many of our local food products, we've become almost immune to the simple pleasure and comfort it provides. It's a sentiment shared by Zi Xi, whose close observations of ordinary items has sparked inspiration for her daily work. So it was a matter of course that the pair would choose to highlight the beauty of the vernacular—the common local plant—in their collaboration for SingaPlural.
Green Fingers
For two creatives who've built entire bodies of work around nature and products derived from nature, it seems almost a given that CATCH and Lucinda would find a way to end up working together. Their collaboration, which will see them producing a range of silk blouses decked out in botanical prints, goes beyond mere partnership; it's a clarion call of sorts, from a pair of brands who've not only been thoroughly inspired by our natural environment, but have taken it upon themselves to ensure its sustainability.

Some of your friends in the neighborhood get together to play a game of softball. Joey Dambrozio just had his first child. You ask him how that feels. "It's amazing," he says. "I've loved my parents and I've loved my wife. But the way I love my kid is different. It's the first time I can honestly say that I love someone more than myself."
You look across a crowded bar and see a young woman with a beautiful face. Suddenly, she is looking at you, smiling. And in that smile you see the completion of your life. Everything that you lack or yearn for is there. You fall in love. It is an overwhelming love. The kind of love that feels like it can lift you up in the air and carry you away.
And, wonder of wonders, your feelings are returned. Everything that heaven can be can be given to you through this one person. You are enthralled by this love. Crushed by it. You treat one another like gods.
Years later, that feeling is gone. You don't like the way she keeps shutting off the lights. She doesn't like your habit of leaving the toilet seat up. You are jealous of the lilt in her voice when she talks to her friends on the phone. (You once thought that lilt would be only for you.) And she doesn't like the jokes you make when you've been drinking.
In The Road Less Traveled, one of the most popular and least understood books about personal growth ever written, M. Scott Peck lays out a brilliant challenge to conventional views of love. He argues that there is a big difference between falling in love Hollywood-style (romantic love) and true love.
Romantic love, says Peck, is part animal attraction (cathexis) and part emotional delusion. Romantic love initiates a destructive and futile cycle of dependency, with each partner looking to the other for happiness and completion.
True love, on the other hand, is selfless and spiritual. It can evolve from cathexis, but only after it gets beyond it. True love is not a state of being, but an action. The intention of true love is the betterment of the loved one, not of oneself. If you expect to be fulfilled by the person you love, Peck says, you will be disappointed.
Peck's argument, in a nutshell, is that romantic love is an unhappy and unhealthy idealization of another individual. Healthy love, in contrast, is the act of working hard to improve the other person's life experience.
It's possible to view Peck's argument in terms of energetic impulses.
Romantic love, it can be said, is a very concentrated impulse. A person in the throes of cathexis feels an intense desire to attract the other person. He will do everything he can to win the loved one's affection. Every word the lover utters, every gesture she makes is experienced intensely. The prospect of losing the other person is as fearsome as the prospect of losing one's life.
True love is, as Peck defines it, is the willful effort to resist the desire that cathexis arouses. It requires a relaxation of the ego so that attention can be directed toward the benefit of the loved one, not toward the egoistic pleasure of being loved.
A seldom discussed but very interesting idea presented in Peck's book concerns the nature of God. He says that God resides in the unconscious mind. Or, more exactly, that the unconscious mind is God. This is getting close to Zen Buddhism. We will get to that later.

We all share a love for our ocean up here on the Northern Beaches, so much of our lives are based around it.
Marine parks, their implementation, management and conservation, is an issue that our community cares about immensely. I have heard the many voices that have written to me, sought meetings, and called my office, and I want to reaffirm my commitment to represent your views in Federal Parliament.
I stand firm in my support for the national network of marine parks.
How can you help?
Show your support by signing the petition, which I can present to the Minister for the Environment and Energy, the Hon. Josh Frydenberg MP in Canberra this June. The more signatures we gather, the stronger my case with the Minister.
Sign the petition
I support our national network of marine parks, welcome the inclusion of $56 million in the 2016 Federal Budget to fund their implementation and management, and urge the Government to make them operational, without reducing high level sanctuary protection (including our Coral Sea Sanctuary).

Texas Property Division & dissolution of marriage 210-299-4777
Don't Risk Your Home, Savings Or Retirement
Following a divorce, the court must the division of property the spouses own. Before legislatures equalized property allocation between both spouses, many dissolution of marriage statutes substantially favored property allocation to the wage-earning spouse. These statutes greatly disadvantaged women disproportionately because during the 18th, 19th, and early-20th centuries, the participation of women in the workplace was much less than it has become during the latter-half of the 20th century and early part of the 21st century. The statutes failed to account for the contributions of the spouse as homemaker and child-raiser.
Modern courts recognize two different types of property during property division proceedings –marital property and separate property. Marital property constitutes any property that the spouses acquire individually or jointly during the course of marriage. Separate property constitutes any property that one spouse purchased and possessed prior to the marriage and that did not substantially change in value during the course of the marriage because of the efforts of one or both spouses.
If the separate property-owning spouse trades the property for other property or sells the property, the newly-acquired property or funds in consideration of the sale remain separate property.
Modern division of property statutes strive for an equitable division of the marital assets. An equitable division does not necessarily involve an equal division but rather an allocation that comports with fairness and justice after a consideration of the totality of the circumstances. By dividing the assets equitably, a judge endeavors to effect the final separation of the parties and to enable both parties to start their post-marital lives with some degree of financial self-sufficiency.
While various jurisdictions permit recognition of different factors, most courts at least recognize the following factors: contribution to the accumulation of marital property, the respective parties' liabilities, whether one spouse received income-producing property while the other did not, the duration of the marriage, the age and health of the respective parties, the earning capacity and employability of the respective parties, the value of each party's separate property, the pension and retirement rights of each party, whether one party will receive custodial and child support provisions, the respective contributions of the spouses as a homemaker and as a parent, the tax consequences of the allocations, and whether one spouse's marital misconduct caused the dissolution of marriage.
Most jurisdictions also give the family court judge broad jurisdiction by providing judges with the right to consider any other just and proper factor.
When assigning property, judges cannot transfer the separate property of one spouse to another spouse without the legislature having previously passed an enabling statute. Whether such an enabling statute exists varies between jurisdictions.
What's the general rule of property division (equitable distribution, community property, or legal title) & dissolution of marriage in Texas?
Texas is a community property state. However, the rules about marital property are different in Texas than those of other community property states.
The dissolution of marriage court can divide the community property in a "just and right" fashion – that means whatever the judge thinks is fair under the circumstances.
A 50-50 division of the marital property is not required by Texas law. It is common to have an unequal division of the property in cases involving children. A multitude of factors can justify a lopsided division, including: a) disparity in the earning capacities of the parties, b) differences in educational backgrounds, c) primary responsibility for raising the children, d) differences in age and/or health of the parties, e) needs of the spouse and children after the dissolution of marriage.
Any special rules for the marital home?
Not related to the division of property. However, the judge will usually attempt to leave the children in their home. That being the case, the parent with primary possession of the children can expect the judge to award him/her the marital home if it is financially feasible to do so.
The Texas homestead laws are very strong, but issues related to protection of the marital home are related to claims by creditors rather than the property allocation in a dissolution of marriage case.
How do retirement plans get divided?
Usually the judge will divide them equally between the parties.
A number of factors can affect the value of a retirement plan (income taxes, penalties for withdrawal, etc.) and dividing the plans down the middle avoids those issues. On the other hand, the judge will always approve an agreement of the parties whether it involves an equal division of the plans or not.

In medical colleges, students write term papers on different medicine-related topics. You may be asked to create a scientific research paper on diabetes, for instance. One of the elements of a successful term paper is a good structure, so you should get insight on how to outline your text before you begin writing.
The first section of your paper should describe your topic to the reader and make them understand what to expect from the rest of the paper.
In this section, you should inform your readers about the main diabetes-related books that you consulted during your study.
This section should explain what set of methods you've picked for your study and thoroughly describe everything you did during your work.
In this section, you should show the outcomes of your research to the readers, interpret their meaning, and explain their significance.
The last section of the main body should summarize information presented in the paper and offer one or more ways for other people to continue the study you've begun.
This should be a section that lists each and every source that has been consulted in the study and cited in the text.
In this section, you should include different graphs, pictures, and tables that would be difficult to put in other sections of your paper.
Above is a basic outline that you should follow planning the structure of your paper. To get a better understanding of how to compose your text, it's advisable to read several diabetes-related sample papers. Below are the sources that you may get examples from:
Shortly speaking, if you keep in mind the useful guidelines presented above and look through several good examples on similar research topics, you're likely to succeed in structuring your term paper correctly and getting an excellent mark for your academic assignment.

Do you just have enough food to stay alive for 90 days? Or, have you planned ahead so that you have the foods you need to feed your family a variety of favorite meals for 90 days? Your family could probably survive for 90 days eating oatmeal three times a day, but would you want to? On the other hand, there is enormous peace and security in knowing that you have planned your meals ahead and have stocked your pantry accordingly.
There are many good food storage plans available. This is just one of many, but it is the one that Jan developed, and I wrote about in our book. Jan has been using this system for over 10 years and that I have converted to using it for about two years. This is a use-and replace method that avoids the pitfall of storing food in the basement or elsewhere and then tossing it most of it out after 10 or 20 years.
The best food storage plan is a combination of long-term and short-term food storage:
Long-term: Foods that last without refrigeration for one year or more. Examples: Wheat, rice, beans, oats, honey, olive oil, coconut oil, powdered milk, canned foods, etc. Keep a small container of bulk items in your pantry so they are easy to use in your daily meals.
Short-term (extended pantry): Food that is kept refrigerated or frozen, or from your garden, that have a shelf life of 30-days or more.
Examples: Cream cheese, grated cheese, packaged cheese slices, processed cheese, such as Velveeta, ricotta cheese, yogurt, sour cream, eggs, etc.
With a well-rounded food storage program, you can prepare most any of the meals your family now loves using the foods in your pantry and extended pantry. By maintaining a 90-day supply you will be prepared for the unexpected. The long-range goal is to gradually extend your food storage to one year.
Use the food storage you already have:
Take stock of the food you already have on hand: long-term and short-term. Do you really have a 90-day supply of everything you need to feed your family for 90 days? We're talking about meals your family is used to eating—not just something (anything) to fill their tummy.
Once you know what you have, here is a way to systematically build a well-rounded food supply that will allow you to feed your family the meals they are used to eating. If the unexpected happens and you suddenly have to totally rely on your food storage, it will be stressful enough without having the shock of eating unfamiliar meals/foods.
Working with Meal Planning worksheets:
Use our Meal Planning worksheets to help you know if you really have everything you need for your 90-day supply of food. Use them also to know exactly how much of an item you need to buy for your 90-day food storage. This alone will save you a lot of money, because you won't over-buy something only to find that you won't be able to use it until it is way out of date. Best to buy according to the plan that using the Meal Planning worksheets will give you.

There are many variables to take into consideration when shipping your crates internationally. The demands on your valuables can be great and stressful. Moisture, heat, vandalism, improper handling and theft are just a few of the concerns.
During voyages, goods can be stacked on top of or come into contact with other goods. Many overseas ports are not as up-to-date or sophisticated as we are in the United States. While moving through customs, your cargo could be on a conveyor belt, pushed, dragged or even dropped before it meets the final destination.
Moisture is a huge concern because often there is no covered storage away from rain and other elements that can cause a build up of condensation. Even if air conditioning and humidifiers are present, this can still be a problem.
Here are some rules you will want to take into consideration:
- Packing filler and packaging should be made of moisture-resistant material.
- Items need to be evenly distributed regardless of the weight or shape and properly braced within the container.
- To avoid theft, don't label your crates with name brands or contents.
- You also want to use straps, shrink wrapping and seals.
- Use strong containers, completely filled and sealed.
- When dealing with hazardous materials, follow guidelines and regulations for product-specific packing requirements. Do not cut corners.
Follow these guidelines or ensure your shipping does – help ensure your goods arrive safely and intact.

Hey there! Did anyone notice that I have fallen off the blog planet lately? You know how the first several weeks are perfect and you have everything planned, copied, and ready to go...then real life hits you and you are SwAmPeD?!?!?! That has been me these last couple of days! But today, I had to share a post about my flipped classroom set up!
Several weeks ago, I posted a FB question that asked if anyone out there uses a "flipped classroom" model. I wanted to see what others were doing, what programs and routines they implemented, and so on. Well guess what, NO ONE even knew what it was! Therefore, I had to do a little post to share a peek inside my flipped classroom!
So what a is a flipped classroom anyway? It is a basically taking the idea of what is typically done in the classroom (teacher instruction) and what is usually done at home (practice problems for homework) and FLIPPING them!
For homework each night, my students have a short video that they must watch for their homework. I create my videos using Educreations but you could also use videos from YouTube or Kahn Academy. As they watch, they take notes and record any definitions, examples, or problems that I complete throughout. My videos are typically between five and ten minutes. Students often need to pause in order to write down the definitions or rewind if something doesn't make sense to them. In total, most of my students spend approximately fifteen to twenty minutes per night working on math related homework.
When they walk in the door for math class each morning, I check to see that they have completed their notes, address any blaring issues that I see at the time, and pass out an Exit Ticket. The students will complete their Exit Ticket without any help or assistance from me.
As I collect them, I sort them into groups. Typically, the skill typically determines how I sort them. For example, on the day that I snapped this picture, I sorted tickets by:
*Students who were able to correctly answer all three questions
*Students who missed questions due to math fact issues
*Students who didn't add in a number they carried
*Students who were completely clueless to the process.
On other skills, I might just sort them by who got them all correct, who missed one, who missed two, ect.
From there, I have activities designed to target each group. Sometimes, all groups have the same activity and the only thing that is different is addressing their specific needs whereas other times I need manipulatives or other resources to address them. This varies, of course, by the skill.
From there, I am able to easily make use of my special education support, RTI support, and cadet teachers. When they walk in my door, I am able to hand them a few exit slips and an activity. What I LOVE about this is that on *most* days in my classroom, I am able to have at least 75% of my students working in a group of less than four students and addressing their specific needs.
When students are not being pulled into a group, they work on Bubble Pages in order to keep them doing meaningful activities without needing to be closely monitored by others.
I have also heard of many teachers including videos into morning work, math centers, or other independent work time if the technology is not available for students to take home the iPads for homework. This still allows "math class" to be used for addressing specific needs!

This is my new Tool to create a MacOS App from a Java Jar executable file (incl. JRE, this means that Java does not have to installed on the target computer!). The last years I've tried to make it simple and I was searching for a tool like this, but it doesn't exist. The most tools are old and are not working with new Java versions, or they are commandline tools only, or they are complicated with countless options and submenus.
My "Mac Java App Builder" is simple. Select the Jar file, select the Icon (PNG) and press "Create Mac App". That's it. As an Option you can set the maximum Memory Heap, hide the Dock-Icon for background apps and obfuscate the binary code.
If you have native libs and/or jars that your app is using, then export the executable jar with "Package required libraries into generated JAR" (Eclipse), and select the "Libs" folder in the Bundler App. If your app has no jars and no native libraries, then export the executable Jar with "Extract required libraries into generated JAR" (Eclipse).

Still on my Mind was created and is hosted by Haley at YA-Aholic.The purpose of this meme is to share a book you read months or even years ago that is still on my (your) mind every Thursday.
The Book Still on My Mind this week is…
Fendi, Ferragamo, and Fangs
Meet the vamps of the Vamps, Inc. modeling agency:
Olivia, straight-A nerd turned overnight star model–unfortunately, her boyfriend doesn't know exactly how much she's changed…Big and beautiful Veronika, the new plus-size model for Vamps, Inc. on an all-blood diet…and Sydney, misunderstood bad girl and whispered-about tabloid sensation.
It's about time that the undead live it up…
Why It Is Still On My Mind
When are Vampires not on my mind? Haha Just kidding but I have loved Vampire movies, shows, and books since I can remember. This is one book I found enjoyable. It was three different stories about three girls but all these girls wanted to become models and Vamps, Inc helps them turn into that and more. It was just interesting and could be humorous. I read it years ago so I would love to read it again and see how I feel about it a second time around.
