Strategy & Tools for Data Visualization
Data Visualization
Data visualization is the study of the visual representation of data, meaning "information which has been abstracted in some schematic form, including attributes or variables for the units of information". According to Friedman (2008) the "main goal of data visualization is to communicate information clearly and effectively through graphical means. It doesn't mean that data visualization needs to look boring to be functional or extremely sophisticated to look beautiful.
Data Visualization Strategy
Edward Tufte @EdwardTufte delivered a great presentation about data visualization strategy for the star studded Tech@State event audience. Tech@State ( @techATstate ) connects tech innovators and those interested in diplomacy and development to enable 21st century statecraft by improving education, health and welfare of the world's population. The Edward Tufte: Beautiful Evidence (Highlights) video is available here. Edward Tufte's complete data visualization strategy presentation video is available here, his presentation begins at 14:24.

Data Visualization Tools & Services
Google Data Visualization Services
Google Data Visualization Service provides a variety of charts that are optimized to address your data visualization needs. These charts are based on pure HTML5/SVG technology (adopting VML for old IE versions), so no plugins are required.
Sencha ExtJS Data Visualization Tools
It has always been hard to draw things in web applications. HTML is really not cut out for creating charts and other richly interactive imagery, but Sencha ExtJS 4 supports data visualizations HTML applications. Typically this need has been met with Adobe Flash, but this gave Sencha two problems: most people like writing code in JavaScript, and Flash isn't available on all devices. The ExtJS 4 solution to these problems is a pure-JavaScript drawing library that can create incredibly rich charting and graphics. It works everywhere – from IE6 to iOS – and will also be available as an add-on for Sencha Touch (mobile).
Highcharts Data Visualization Tools
Highcharts is a charting library written in pure JavaScript, offering intuitive, interactive charts to your web site or web application. Highcharts currently supports line, spline, area, areaspline, column, bar, pie and scatter chart types. You can also you create stock or general timeline charts in pure JavaScript, including sophisticated navigation options like a small navigator series, preset date ranges, date picker, scrolling and panning with Highstock.
Current Data Visualization Twitter Game Board
Diversity fuels innovation. Sports fanatics have their fantasy football teams. This is my fantasy innovation team. This Data Visualization twitter game board represents people focused on sharing ideas about how to make data make sense.

Starting with macOS High Sierra and existing in Cisco wireless controller release 8.3 is support for QoS Fastlane. Any hardware compatible with macOS High Sierra supports QoS Fastlane. Find more information about High Sierra compatibility for your specific Mac model.
About QoS Fastlane
Wireless application traffic in enterprise environments often needs to be prioritized by its type. For example, due to real-time application constraints, voice over Wi-Fi traffic needs a higher priority than Safari web traffic.
Various standards exist to help network devices agree on how different types of traffic are marked to make sure they are prioritized. QoS Fastlane greatly simplifies this agreement process so that network congestion is minimized and time-sensitive traffic (like voice or video) is delivered on time.
To choose which macOS apps have their traffic prioritized by QoS Fastlane, you must configure the network with a configuration profile.
Learn about configuration profile payloads and application whitelisting for macOS High Sierra.

Cisco wireless controller models compatible with release 8.3 support QoS Fastlane. Cisco access points compatible with 802.11n and 802.11ac support QoS Fastlane.

Avery Johnson and his teammates react to Braxton Key's Basketball decision
Avery Johnson or his teammates were not surprised about the Monday news of Braxton Key's Basketball decision.
Johnson said,the idea to leave early for the draft without hiring an agent was first addressed three weeks ago, it's a matter of getting workouts with pro teams as he sorts through the next crossroad: Stay in the draft or return for a sophomore season.
By all indications, being selected in the 60-pick draft isn't probable for the SE All-freshman team member.
Johnson won't hesitate to give his opinion. He said: "If they ask for my advice, then I'll give my advice," . He advised kids to do whatever they think is in the best interest of their family the team banquet Monday evening.
Johnson said there's been no discussion about the possibility of playing overseas if the Basketball draft doesn't work. As far as he knows, Key, who was not present for the team banquet Monday evening, would be back on campus for the beginning of summer classes at the end of May if it doesn't work out with the NBA.
Teammate Riley Norris knew Key was exploring the possibilities of an Basketball jump, he wants to talk with Key in the next day or two about what's going on.
And Dazon Ingram said he got a chance to talk to Key on Monday, he wishes him nothing but the best, but also said: "But it would be nice if he could come back next year."
Ingram said he spoke to Avery Johnson about any options he might have with the NBA, but decided against any further exploration of a jump.

I'll be frank: one of the good reasons for becoming a beer blogger is the opportunity it gives to go places, meet people, do things that you wouldn't otherwise get to do. (Free beer too? Well, there is some of that, true, but I turn a fair bit of free beer down, because I don't do reviews, much.) The chance to get into places the public doesn't get to see is one big reason why I decided to go to the European Beer Bloggers' Conference in Dublin: I suspected there would be a chance to see extremely interesting things normally hidden from public eyes, and as we shall see, I was absolutely right.
Fortunately for me, I have relatives in Dublin, so I was able to stay in the city for free: and I signed up early enough to grab one of the "bursaries" Molson Coors was offering, which effectively refunded the €95 conference fee, so mostly all it cost me was my air fare from Heathrow. When I signed up to come to the conference, I hadn't been to Dublin since my mother-in-law's 80th birthday in 2006, and as I said in my previous blog entry, in the past eight years – in the past TWO years – the Irish craft beer scene has exploded, so I was also keen to see how the beer offer had changed in Dublin's bars, and what these new breweries were like.
As it happened, I had to go on a mother-in-law-related trip to the city in May, and took a day off to visit places recommended by the ever-excellent Beer Nut, Ireland's premier beer blogger. Thus the Thursday night pub crawl organised for EBBC attendees and led by Reuben Gray of The Tale of the Ale was less of a revelation to me than it probably was to some of the other 30 or so people on the tour, since, unsurprisingly, the BN had marked my card with several of the places Reuben took us to.
They were certainly as mixed a selection as you'll find in any good city, from the basic – Brew Dock, part of the Galway Bay Brewery's own chain of pubs, but selling much more than just GBB beers – to the more typically Dublin elaborate-mirrors-and-dark wood of Farrington's/The Norseman (it keeps changing its name back and forth) in Temple Bar via another very Dublin concept, the three or four-storey pub, of which JW Sweetman (named for an old Dublin brewery) and the Porterhouse are good examples, to the "stripped pine and books on the wall" Black Sheep, another Galway Bay Brewery pub, rather more like a "normal" English-style craft beer bar than most craft beer bars in Dublin, to the Bull and Castle, a substantially sized "craft beer steakhouse". Just as a point of comparison, the only two places you would have found craft beer in back when I was last in Dublin out of that list would have been Sweetman's, previously a homebrew pub called Messers Maguires, and the Porterhouse (which still, I was delighted to see, has the bottle of my wedding ale I presented them in 1997 on display in one of the bars).

"Thank you so much for being able to deliver the gift basket we ordered,
especially as it was such short notice. Our friend is only staying at this
address for a few more days, so it was important that it arrived on time. Much appreciated.
Viv Drummond"
Vivienne D - Victoria, Australia - Oct 10, 2015

"It is in difficult times that you really know the character and quality of people. The same applies to business and companies. There we were. Living in Australia and wanting to send a gift basket to our uncle in the US, celebrating his amazing 100th birthday. We did it through Gift Basket Overseas and were happy with the user friendly site. Simple process. Short and efficient. To our surprise, the basket didn't arrive at the date promised. We began an investigation, compounded by an 18 hour time difference between Sydney, Australia and Scottsdale, AZ. From day one, every single customer representative we corresponded with only had one thing in mind: to resolve the problem. Through many iterations we found out I had a typo on the street name and although the zip code was correct, the courier delivered to an address that was not our uncle's. GBO sent a replacement basket at their cost and still that didn't make it to him. After a lot of investigations and the personal involvement of their customer service director, we finally had the gifts arrive at their destination. A very big thank you and we can assure you that you now have a customer for life and I will be recommending you to my friends. You showed us what customer service is all about. Thanks!"
Andre T - North Ryde NSW, Australia - Apr 11, 2018
"Best Service Ever! Our son is in Spain for a semester and got quite sick - had to take himself to the hospital, get antibiotics, had no one to take care of him. So I found Gift Baskets Overseas online, ordered a healthy breakfast basket, paid with PayPal and crossed my fingers that it wasn't a scam. Not only is it legitimate, but when I didn't have a landline to give them for him they tracked one down (and sent it to me so I'd have it too) and when I gave them an incomplete address (because that's all I had), they tracked that down too. My son got his basket and I'm amazed that service like this still exists. Awesome, awesome, awesome. "

woofmang brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 74 Designs von 12 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Truck Floor Mat Store
I'm starting an online store that will sell custom-made floor mats for trucks. These are high-end custom-made floor mats that appeal to people with high-end trucks and SUVs, and the logo has to convey that concept to my target audience at a glance, using the name of the store, and, optionally, a separate graphic element.
Single American men, aged 18-50 (tending towards the 35 and older end of the range), who are college educated, and have an income from USD $30,000 - $100,000 / year (tending towards the high end of that range).
The logo needs to convey the concept, "custom-made floor mats for trucks", with or without a graphic element separate from the copy
The copy to use in the logo is "Truck Floor Mat Store"
If the logo has a graphic element separate from the text, the typeface chosen should be distinctive enough that the copy can be used as a stand-alone logo
The logo must be scalable (so it can be used as an element in a header or in a footer), so the typeface has to be readable at all sizes
The logo must also be reversible (i.e., dark figures on light background to light figures on dark background) and work in greyscale
Example logo concepts that I think would work for this:
Example logo concepts that I don't think would work for this:
Feel free to experiment with colors, but keep in mind that the logo must be reversible and also work in grayscale
The logo must be delivered in the following file formats:
Adobe Illustrator (up to CS5) with "light on dark" and "dark on light" versions
Adobe Photoshop (up to CS5) with "light on dark" and "dark on light" versions, at heights of ~24px and ~72px, with all elements on separate layers

—Naomi Shihab Nye, "Arabic Coffee"
The first thing that struck me about Moneerh was how much she terrified me: her face half-cloaked by her hijab, her dark eyes narrowed at me as I shuffled books, rushed through the steps of the lesson.
"Teacher, please slow down," she said, her voice muffled, yet insistent. "Please."
At the ESL center I help direct, most of our students are from the Middle East. They come on scholarships, looking to improve their English before they apply to American universities. Sisters are escorted to class by brothers and male cousins. Wives, many of them less than twenty years old, bring their husbands into my office to discuss failing grades, their eyes downcast while the husband shakes a report card at me, demanding that I "do something."
Perhaps that's what unsettled me about Moneerh, the way she stared directly at me, unwilling to let my bare arms and quick words disarm her.
In Saudi Arabia, where Moneerh is from, women are not allowed to drive, nor are they allowed to travel without an escort. I learned about this in an essay Moneerh wrote, arguing against the law that keeps her from driving a car.
"I do not think this is right," she says, holding the paper in her slender hands. "If something happens to my mother, and I am the only person there, who will drive her to the hospital? So many women, they do not go to the doctor because they are afraid of a man seeing them; this is a shame in my country."
I make sure to clearly mark her grammatical mistakes, and to write many comments in the margins; she has asked me to be thorough with her, to leave nothing unchecked. She consistently writes at least a hundred more words than her assignments require. When I ask about her weekend, she is firm: "I studied."
Already twenty-five years old, Moneerh is an anomaly among our female students. She wants to marry, but also wants to wants to get her education, to "help society" by being a teacher in her home country. She has a degree in economics, but wants to add more degrees, attend more school.
Perhaps this is another reason that Moneerh challenges me: She moves with ease in a life that many would claim is restrictive. She commands the space around her, not in spite of her veiled body, but with the directness of someone who inhabits her life fully, whose words and actions are a single offering to a world that would easily dismiss her.And what she offers is pure gift. On my birthday, she brings me a bottle of perfume. In class, she brings chocolates for her classmates. We share stories about cooking, and she brings me a container of Saudi spices and a jar of dates.
She kisses me on the cheek, and her eyes, still intent, crinkle with the smile that, though hidden from me, stretches across her face. I have seen students negotiate, and I know that the dates, the kiss, are not steps in that insidious dance.
The intensity Moneerh brings to her studies also moves her to laugh at my lame jokes, to weep at BBC reports about children's deaths in Syria, her hand wiping tears away as she scrolls down a computer screen, unable to stop reading.
At church, I chat with an older woman. She begins talking about something she saw on the news, some angry flag burning in a Middle Eastern country, and my insides tighten.
"I just can't understand why they are so violent over there," she says. "Maybe if all those people got out of their pajamas and got jobs, they wouldn't be in a such a mess."
I know what she is reacting against. I know that I, too, have been afraid. But in that moment, I want to drag this woman to my classroom, to a small group of desks in a dingy university building, where Moneerh rushes against the clock, scribbling answers furiously on a test that she will fail, a test that will bring her into my office with angry, righteous tears: "I know that it was my mistake. But it is so hard, and I do not have much time here."
I want to bring the woman from church to the small group of desks where Moneerh and I read Mary Oliver, where she flips the pages of Red Bird and exclaims loudly, "This! This is a good poem," and strokes a line with her finger: I don't want to live a small life.
This is what intimidates me about Moneerh the most—most days, I'd be content with a small life, one without demands or exertion. A life the opposite of Oliver's lines: Open your eyes, open your hands.
In my classroom one day, I watch as Moneerh pulls a white carafe out of her backpack. She brings out small porcelain cups, a few candy bars. She sets the cups in front of us, and brings the carafe to me, pours a caramel stream of coffee.
"For you, teacher," she says, eyes dark and smiling as she moves onto another classmate, another cup, all of us guests, our own eyes unable to look away.

Many of us pick up the Wall Street Journal every day without a second thought, but most of the people who attend advisor James Veal's financial literacy classes in Philadelphia have never even opened the newspaper.
That's no surprise, though, for Veal, founder and managing member of JRV Wealth Management Group, who has been teaching financial education and wealth building courses for students and adults at Philadelphia's Temple University and at Mt. Airy Learning Tree for over a decade.
"Most of these people come from a community where they've never been exposed to finance and financial planning of any kind," he says.
The Wall Street Journal is far removed from the world of most African-Americans, he says, "because we have such a long history behind us and it's going to take us a long time to get out of the status quo."
Veal, however, considers it his duty to help open up new worlds for African-Americans and to "switch their mindset."
"I want people to know that they can and they need to achieve certain goals in life and education is a very important part of that. I want to bring along people who have not had any exposure to any kind of financial education before," he says.
Veal's courses are so popular that people come back to attend the same class three and even four times, he says. Whether it's to learn how to properly read the Journal or get the basics of financial planning and wealth building, "I feel that people go away more empowered and more confident about themselves," he says.
Although Veal believes there's still a long and tough road ahead for most African-Americans to get up to speed with just basic financial planning concepts, he also knows that there's a growing and largely untapped pool of African-Americans who have those basics in place and could use a financial planner to help them achieve some of their lifetime financial security goals.
Veal reports that his client base is 85% solidly middle class African-American (mostly government employees in the Philadelphia area), with household incomes of between $85,000 and $100,000 per year.
"There's really no competition for me in this bracket; I feel like there's a swimming pool full of clients that want financial advice and I'm the only one swimming in it," he says.
Perhaps that's a good thing, though, since Veal, like other African-American financial advisors, is also a staunch advocate of community outreach and involvement.
"The community needs a lot of help so the more places we can provide that help, the better," he says.
Veal is currently approaching government agencies and companies in the Philadelphia area to provide financial coaching services for their employees to better understand retirement planning and the nuts and bolts of 401(k) plans.

For troubleshooting why the Web App Server says the port is in use...
Windows XP and 2003 have the tools built-in to determine what process is using a specific TCP/IP port. If you are using some other version of windows, you will not be able to continue as below. But there are still a number of third-party tools available which can be downloaded instead. One such tool that has been used successfully by several people is fport.
From a command prompt, run netstat -o. This will output a list of ports, along with the PID (process ID) that has that port open. The output looks something like:
The sample output above indicates that the local port 80 is being used by process id 2636.Code:C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>netstat -o Active Connections Proto Local Address Foreign Address State PID TCP WEBAPPSERVER2:80 126.96.36.199:57434 TIME_WAIT 2636 TCP WEBAPPSERVER2:80 184.108.40.206:57589 TIME_WAIT 2636 TCP WEBAPPSERVER2:80 126.96.36.199:57600 TIME_WAIT 2636 TCP WEBAPPSERVER2:80 22.214.171.124:57608 TIME_WAIT 2636 TCP WEBAPPSERVER2:3389 18.104.22.168:6473 ESTABLISHED 964 TCP WEBAPPSERVER2:2325 192.168.0.13:netbios-ssn TIME_WAIT 0 C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>
To determine what executable is running as a process ID, open Windows Task Manager and switch to the Processes tab. Now click on View->Select Columns... On the screen that opens, make sure "PID (Process Identifier)" is checked and then click OK. Now click on the PID heading to sort the entries by PID. The screen below shows that PID 2636 is alpha5.exe, indicating that it is the Web Application Server using port 80 in this case.

Today is Monday by Eric Carle
Inspired by the lovely and talented Jean over at The Artful Parent, I'm sharing another Eric Carle language extension I made long ago. Using the book Today is Monday, I reproduced the types of food eaten in the story. (I cut mine out using colored construction paper but you could make color copies of the illustrations and reduce their size) Next laminate so they will hold up with repeated use. Provide days of the week cards for the children to match the food choices with.
(*MM's notes: Looking at this old photo I'm thinking for non-readers this work could be created as a matching. Instead of leaving the lower squares empty under the days of the week, add the images of the animals in those boxes. Then the children could match the food with the animal! I think I'll have to make another one.)
For another Eric Carle language extension please visit my past post 'Lovin' Eric Carle'
In PEACE

What a coincidence to come back here after a few weeks of utter chaos here (moving house, poor health, etc), to find you blogging on something I've been thinking a lot about these last few days. My daughter is getting very interested in the days of the week and I've been wondering how best to make it captivating for her. I don't have any Eric Carle books (I know!), but I will hunt through the books she does have and see if I can find a favourite character/story to create activities around.

Located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, the Institute is the research arm of the McGill University Health Centre affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine at McGill University. More than 1200 graduate students, postdoctoral and clinical fellows conduct research at the RI-MUHC. It is recommended that those who are interested in training at the RI-MUHC read about the work of its researchers and identify a researcher with whom they would like to work.
Prospective research trainees should contact professors directly to inquire about pursuing graduate studies in their lab prior to formally applying to McGill University. All RI-MUHC research trainees must apply to McGill to be admitted as a graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. Note that each department at McGill has specific requirements. Prospective research trainees should consult with their potential supervisor for guidance when applying to a specific department at McGill. RI-MUHC researchers hold appointments in more than 10 departments at McGill. Below is a partial list of these departments:
Anatomy and Cell Biology

The scandal over global interest rates has state officials like Janet Cowell of North Carolina working intensely behind the scenes to build a case for suing the nation's largest banks.
Ms. Cowell, the state's elected treasurer, and several of her staff members have spent the summer combing through the state's investments trying to determine how much the state may have lost because of suspected manipulation of the London interbank offered rate, or Libor(Learn more) which is used as a benchmark for trillions of dollars of financial contracts around the world.
"We think this could be as big as the mortgage crisis settlement, that this could be a really high impact situation and that we should be aggressive on this," Ms. Cowell said, referring to the $25 billion settlement that the nation's biggest banks entered with state attorneys general.
The activity provides a glimpse at how widely the Libor scandal has spread through the financial world, and how much damage may still be in store for the banks accused of manipulating Libor. Her work also suggests just how difficult it is, and how long it may take, to get to the bottom of the losses.
The attorneys general in Maryland, Massachusetts, New York and Connecticut have all been examining how much their states may have lost as a result of a lowered Libor. A spokeswoman for Connecticut's attorney general, George C. Jepsen, said that the state's work with New York's attorney general, Eric T. Schneiderman, "has broadened significantly over the last few weeks and we are now coordinating with a much larger group of attorneys general."
Even before the British bank Barclays admitted in June that its employees had tried to manipulate Libor, there were a number of lawsuits filed by cities and municipal agencies seeking damages from large banks for manipulating Libor. But while those cases were filed by private sector lawyers, the public officials are looking at bringing more wide-ranging lawsuits on behalf of the states. The Justice Department has coordinated with the states and is leading its own investigation.
The government officials are hoping that their cases will be bolstered by new settlements between regulators and individual banks that are suspected of participating in the manipulation. Most of the more than one dozen banks involved in setting Libor have said in official filings that they are in discussions with regulators about their involvement in the Libor process.
Libor is supposed to represent how much banks are paying for short-term loans from other banks. It is determined by the British Bankers Association after a daily poll of the world's largest banks. It then serves as a benchmark for rates paid by consumers and businesses on everything from mortgages to derivatives to student loans.
Barclays said in its settlement that it and other banks pushed Libor down artificially during the financial crisis to appear more healthy. Barclays also admitted that its traders tried to manipulate Libor at other points in order to sweeten particular financial deals. Barclays paid $450 million to settle the charges.
The financial products used by states and local governments are especially vulnerable to an artificially lowered rate.
Ms. Cowell, a 44-year-old Democrat and former business consultant who is running for another four-year term, was aware of the potential implications of the Libor case for North Carolina almost as soon as the Barclays settlement was announced on June 27. The next Monday, at her weekly staff meeting, she asked her office's lawyers and investment officers to begin looking into it.
The inquiry has focused primarily on two areas of the state's finances. One was the state's public pension plans, which in North Carolina are overseen by the treasurer. A state money manager began identifying bonds held by the state pension fund and money market fund investments that derived their value from Libor.
In July, lawyers from the treasurer's office took part in a conference call on the topic with pension funds in other states. Ms. Cowell and members of her staff have found a few investments held by the $76 billion pension fund that were tied to Libor, but they have now determined that the losses were most likely "pretty small."
The other, more significant area where Ms. Cowell began looking for losses was in a kind of financial contract that many states use, known as an interest rate swap. States use swaps when they want to issue a bond at a floating interest rate but protect themselves from future swings in rates. In a standard swap, a state makes a regular payment to its bank and gets a payment back that is determined by the level of Libor. If Libor was lower, the payments will be, too.
North Carolina had two major swaps at the time the benchmark was suspected of being rigged. Together, the two swaps were tied to $1.3 billion of bonds that were issued in 2002 and 2005. The banks on the other side of these contracts included Bank of America , of Charlotte, N.C., and JPMorgan Chase & Company based in New York, both of which are involved in setting Libor.
The challenge facing North Carolina and other states is that there is no agreement yet on how much the banks actually manipulated Libor, and for how long. The lawsuits that have already been filed have estimated that the banks held Libor down by at least 30 basis points, or 0.30 percent, for three years. By one method of calculation, that could have meant losses for North Carolina of around $10 million on their swaps.
Ms. Cowell said she assumed that as more banks settled with regulators, those numbers would become clearer. In the meantime, the treasurer's office is working out formulas for losses that they can plug numbers into if and when new settlements are made public. At that point, Ms. Cowell also plans to share her work with other municipal agencies in North Carolina that held about 40 swaps during the period in question.
"This is an unprecedented level of analysis, and an unprecedented wide spectrum of financial impact," Ms. Cowell said.
The inquiry could provide a political bump for Ms. Cowell, who is seeking another term as anti-Wall Street sentiment is running high. A graduate of the Wharton School of Business, she served on the Raleigh, N.C., City Council and then the state Senate before taking office in 2008. She cites among her accomplishments the state's maintaining its status as one of eight with a AAA rating from the major credit rating agencies.
North Carolina's attorney general will make the final determination on whether the state will join existing lawsuits, proceed with its own case or take no action at all. The attorney general's office did not respond to requests for comment.
But the office has been involved in many of the discussions with the treasurer's staff, people involved in the meetings said.

Corporate Assessment Center
The Corporate Assessment Center is a division of Profiling Online Pty Ltd, a successful and established talent management software company.
The Corporate Assessment Center will provide services to high-end, leadership development experts worldwide. We operate in a trusted capacity, partnering with our clients over a considerable period of time. The solutions we offer are unique and important to the success of leadership development projects.
Our primary target audience is Leadership Development and Human Resource consultants - and within this audience, they can be individual self-employed professionals up to global consulting firms.
Our target audience should see us as professional, corporate, partners whom they can trust with their requirements. We should be 'mirrored' against consulting firms and be seen by these firms as 'experts' and 'trusted advisors' in our field.
The Corporate Assessment Center sells a robust, reliable, customizable competency and skill assessment software solution. The solution comprises of robust software to drive the assessment, along with a comprehensive and secure 'support service' whereby our team manages the daily work-load associated with the assessment project.
Our target audience is consultants, who themselves will use this solution with their bigger clients. The consultant will 'sell' or deliver a larger project ( most typically an employee development project of some sorts ) to their client. Part of that project involves the assessment of individuals using a variety of techniques (something the consultant often does not have the time or capability to do ) - this is where we step in.
(a) Work under the umbrella of the consultant
(b) deliver professional assessment services, both software and support
(c) make the consultant look more professional (important)
(d) give the professional the ability to deliver important parts of a solution with no up-front large costs
(e) work in strict confidence with the consultant
Our website should reflect this 'corporate' nature. We dont have many 'sub-pages' from the home page and dont have loads of 'text', so our site should be corporate and 'crisp'
The Homepage should have our logo (attached ) and the following navigation links:
a) About us
b) Partner with us
c) Experience our work
d) Contact Us
I would like to see some corporate imagery used under the navigation items,, and then below this again, text ( which I guess we will be adding ) which will give the 'introduction'
(our parent website - we dont 'love' this but in terms of overall structure, it has the logo, top navigation items, corporate imagery and then the text. The logo and navigation points are kept for all pages in the site so this makes it more 'reusable' but other then the overall structure, the rest of the site is a bit boring )
( similiar in 'structure' but much 'crisper' and visually interesting without loosing its corporate feel - I much prefer the homepage images automatically rotating but maybe that's down to the code itself ? )
( A 'typical' but good quality consulting company site' - while they have lots more 'text' then we would have, this site is a good example of 'corporate', clean and crisp )

According to a research conducted by Paycheck.in between January 2012 to January 2014, people in the USA and Europe spent the shortest time on their way to work, followed by the ex-USSR countries, Latin America and Asia. Read full article.
Research & Publication
Report on Gender Pay Gap in India is based on the preliminary findings of Paycheck India Salary Data. The report aims at quantifying the magnitude of gender-based disparities that women face in the organized sector of the Indian labour market, and track their progress over time. The extent of the gender pay gap is measured on various parameters such as age, educational qualifications, industry, work experience, designation, type of contract, level of skill, marital status, etc. The report also attempts to enquire into the possible reasons for the prevalence of this gap.
The Gender Pay Gap in India 2013 report is based on Paycheck India Salary Data generated between 2006 and 2013 (June), through the online voluntary Salary Survey of Paycheck India. An earlier version of the report was published in 2012. This report covers a wider audience and is based on latest and improved data collected through salary survey. The report is based on 21,552 respondents over a period of 7.5 years (from 2006 -2013 (June)), out of which 18,043 were males and 3,509 were females. The report measure gender-based disparities that women face in the organized sector of the Indian labour market.
According to data gathered by Wage Indicator websites, labour starters – those who are beginning their careers as wage earners - earn twice or three times more in developed countries than in emerging nations.
The share of meal benefits in the form of tax benefit, in the total compensation of Indian formal sector employees has been constantly decreasing in relative terms. It has failed to match with the continuous rise in food prices. The Government not enhancing the limits for income tax exemption on the cash value of such benefits/perks given to employees has made the issue very complex. To aggravate the problem further, the tax exemption limits are not revised in regular intervals. Using panel data collected by Paycheck India salary survey, the article discusses the issues relating to meal vouchers as an employee benefit, with special reference to the IT/ITES sector in India.
There has been a constant debate on the applications and implementation of MGNREG and Minimum Wages Act. And with recent increasing pressure on the government to link the MGNREG wages to Minimum Wages Act, the point that comes out is how is it going to benefit the worker? Here is a debate that will bring out various aspects of it
For countries which have a minimum wage, the minimum wage fixing system differs according to objectives and criteria, machinery and procedures, coverage, and subsequent adjustment as well as the operation and enforcement of rules established. In many countries, minimum wages are set by a tripartite committee or commission comprised of representatives from workers, employers, and the government, while in others they are set by executive decree or legislative actions.
The wage and employment policies relating to the unorganised workers and in particular the issue of minimum wages paid to them has been a subject of considerable discussion among union leaders and labour experts in India. The paper highlights the issues and concerns relating to Minimum Wage Act, 1948 in India.
This report provides information on India on behalf of the implementation of the DECISIONS FOR LIFE project in that country. The report focuses on a gender analysis of work and employment.

With all the intellectual supremacy this guy powered into the world recently, I'm sure it was a set up for 'antis' to show who the real intolerant people are lol.
As long as they don't hurt others with their stupidity, I appreciate those SOS people for the entertainment.
Please continue coverage on this, I'm sure some 'comrades' won't be too happy with this!

Jeremy Crawford has left quite a heartfelt love letter on Brodie's fb page.
- 21 August 2014 at 19:26
- Nosferatu200 said...
Yes, he certainly did.
So, we have either two possibilities.
1. Hynes has decided to forgive Walsh's "racial indiscretion" in which case he's wishy washy and is inconsistent when it comes to discipline.
2. Crawford has taken it upon himself to speak on behalf of the SOS and making promises to Walsh without Hynes' knowledge, in which case his own members are going rogue proving that Hynes can't maintain order in his "crew."
Either way, it looks pretty bad for the SOS.
- 21 August 2014 at 19:38
What? A slap & then a hug to make it all better is NOT your punishment? C'mon, Max... Enquiring minds want to know how you handle your boys. It all reflects on you, ya know? Or was Jeremy talking out of his ass? Back in my day, members knew their place & goverened themselves accordingly.
- 22 August 2014 at 14:38
Hynes just fold SOS already it's over just deal with it White nationalism is not for u ur to dam stupid
- 22 August 2014 at 21:52
SOS is just getting started brodie should take his slap like Crawford suggested though I doubt the rest of his brothers will ever think of him the same again maybe he can re earn some trust and make up for making uslook stupid either way they are writing stories about SOS for a reason cause they are number one in Canada for active resistance .
- 23 August 2014 at 12:04
"dam stupid" Does that mean he doesn't understand the concept of a dam?
- 24 August 2014 at 13:26
- Nosferatu200 said...
Yeah, it's just Brodie alone who makes you guys look stupid. Otherwise you'd be the bonehead equivalent of a MENSA chapter.
- 24 August 2014 at 18:33
number one in Canada.....lmao! let me explain to you what goes on at this blog. they don't wright about you because of "all the good" you do, they try and show your "movement" to be the unorganized shit show that it is so that people out there can see it for what it is and possibly make an informed decision to avoid people like you. all sorts of people read this blog, other racists and people against it. the racists can see why your a joke and so can everyone else. all around no matter what side your on people can see that your crew is something to laugh at. they really only post shit that you all put out there. give your head a shake.
- 24 August 2014 at 18:49
Nostrils200/Nosferatu200, you should post (instead of censoring like you do most) our exchanges, like you did here http://anti-racistcanada.blogspot.ca/2013/06/know-your-place-misogyny-and-racism.html
I can see how you feel superior to the likes of Jeremy Crawford and enjoy making them look foolish, but against me you're not so mighty.
- 24 August 2014 at 21:34
- Nosferatu200 said...
Oh yes Tom, we quake before your superior intellect. ;)
We understand that you don't believe this to be true, but you have done far more than we could ever do to make you look foolish.
- 24 August 2014 at 22:01
That's weird beard guy I meant. This is getting better and better :)

Tomasz te bolond, és a szégyen, hogy a magyar nép

- Nosferatu200 said...
Well, he is a disgrace to be sure, but Tom is actually Polish, not Hungarian.
- 25 August 2014 at 07:52
Alright then, shall we continue? Perhaps on a more leveled footing, since you like equality and all.
- 25 August 2014 at 19:33
- Nosferatu200 said...
If you start coming up with something original (and you stop parroting Linder, Pierce, etc) we'll consider it Tommy.
In the meantime, have you given thought about actually meeting people offline? You know, find a real friend perhaps? We understand that this is probably the closest thing you have to making a real human connection, but it ain't healthy. The history of misanthropic loners living in their mother's basements doesn't usually turn out so well for said misanthropic loner.
Might we suggest taking a stab at speed dating?

The Seder nights is one of the most memorable of the Jewish calendar. Many of us have fond memories of our family Seders. Others just remember the grown ups reading the Haggadah round the table, as our tummies rumbled and we wondered if dinner was ever coming.
But the Seder shouldn't be dull. Long before the days of multimedia, in the times of the Mishna, the Seder was a audio-visual re-enactment of the going out of Egypt for the children. In some communities the father would dress up in white robes, holding a stick with an attached cloth and walk around the table chanting the passage, "We were slave to Pharaoh in Egypt…"
The whole aim was – and continues to be – to stimulate the kids to ask questions and get involved in the Seder. The "props" – be it the Seder plate, or the cushions for leaning – are all there in order to arouse curiosity in our kids and get them asking questions.
Here are a number of ideas to make the Seder fun and meaningful for everyone. All the games are suitable for all ages and are a lot of fun.
Get your kids to prepare activities ahead of time to increase their anticipation and involvement. (See below for specific ideas.)
If you are inviting friends, let them know ahead of time that they have to prepare a fun activity or explanation on a specific section of the Haggadah. This way everyone is involved and is waiting for their turn to play the game, or act something out.
Very important: Remember to have a bag of small prizes or treats as incentives for good questions and involvement.
You will need a basket full of questions and answers about Passover on individual index cards or paper.Get your kids ahead of time to prepare as many questions and answers as they can from the Haggadah and write the questions and answers down. Here are some suggestions to get you started.
- Why do we eat Matzah on Passover? To remind us of the dough that didn't have time to rise as our forefathers were rushed out of Egypt.
- Name the Four Sons? The wise, the wicked, the simple, and the one who doesn't know how to ask.
- How many cups of wine do we drink at the Seder? Four.
- What things connected with Seder night are associated with the number four? Four sons, four cups of wine, four questions.
- Why four cups of wine? To celebrate our freedom.
- What is the second plague? Frogs.
- Why do we dip in the Charoset? The Charoset represents the cement that the Jews used to cement the bricks together in their slavery. Today we dip as a sign of freedom.
- What does the shank bone remind us of? The Passover lamb which our forefathers sacrificed to God when they came out of Egypt.
- Can you say all ten plagues in order? Blood, frogs, vermin, wild beasts, pestilence, boils, hail, locusts, darkness, plague of the firstborn.
- Can you say the ten plagues backwards? Plague of the firsborn, darkness, locusts, hail, boils, pestilence, wild beasts, vermin, frogs, blood.
- Who am I? I am the last thing you eat before you bensch, say the blessing after the meal. There are often lots of fights over who hides me and who finds me. Who am I? The Afikoman.
- Who am I? I am one of the key figures in the story of the going out of Egypt. I lost my whole army and half my country in my stubbornness. Who am I? Pharoah.
- Who am I? I am one of the plagues. I made the Egyptians itch like crazy all over. Who am I? Lice.
- Who am I? My name appears only once in the Haggadah, but I went several times to Pharoah with my brother to try and persuade him to let the Jewish people go. Who am I? Moses.
- Who do we fill a cup for on the Seder table and hope he comes and joins our Seder? Elijah.
After the Mah Nishtana, you ask one of the kids to blindfold one of the guests or another family member. Then the blindfolded one has to pick a card out of a box or hat.
Someone is chosen to read the question. If the blindfolded one answers correctly he or she gets a point/sweet/nut/small prize.
The game can be played at different intervals during the evening.
This humorous game reveals how creative and clever participants are in connecting random items found around the house to the Passover story. The game can be played at different intervals throughout the Seder, in between reading the text. It requires very little preparation.
Get your kids to collect a bag full of small items from around a house – almost anything will do. For example: duplo man, plastic animals, a plastic crown, a toy car, an envelope, a cup, a jar of red colored water, pyjama trousers, a kiddush cup, lice shampoo, any stuffed animals, etc.
Pass the bag filled with the items around the table and get people to pick out an object without looking. Now each person has to connect the item in his hand to the story.
Here's an example of what someone might say who selected duplo man from the bag: "You are probably very curious who I am? Well, many years ago, our people were enslaved in Egypt by a very powerful King called Pharaoh. One day God appeared to me at the burning bush and told me to remove my shoes. That's why I don't have any shoes on. God then told me that I was going to lead the Jews out of Egypt."
This game gets young and old involved and is a lot of fun.
You could use a simple plastic toy telephone that doesn't make noise, or any object that you can pretend is a phone, and lots of blocks on the floor next to the Seder table.
At any time during the Seder, you make a pretend ringing noise. There is a hushed silence and you pick up the phone. It is Pharaoh on the other end.
According to your improvised one-sided conversation, it becomes clear that all children under 8 have to get down from the table and start building a pyramid.
You can get one or two of the older children to be the task masters and shout out orders to work faster, etc. Children love doing this.
If you have several children at the Seder, you can do a competition who can build the tallest tower/pyramid.
Ahead of time get the older kids to prepare a news report about the Ten Plagues and the Crossing of the Red Sea.
As part of the "broadcast" they can interview some of the guests as Pharaoh, Moses, Aaron, etc.
These characters can be totally improvised or described on an index card that you hand to the guests. For example: "You are Pharaoh. You have just been woken up in the middle of the night by your adviser who has told you that there is no water to drink in the whole of Egypt, only blood. The radio reporter wants to hear your statement about what you're going to do."
In advance of Seder night write out on separate pieces of paper the names of characters or objects associated with Seder night. For example: Pharoah, Elijah the Prophet, The Wise Son, Maror, Charoset, Matzah, Chametz, Frog, Wild Beast, etc.
During the Seder choose a volunteer. Tie a scarf around his forehead and stick a name on the scarf so that everyone can see it but him. Now he has to ask questions about himself, to which everyone answers Yes/No until he figures out who he is.
If he guesses in five or less questions, he gets a prize.
This game is for a more advanced or slightly older age group. It works like charades.
Prepare different verses from the Haggadah ahead of time, and write them on paper.
Each participant randomly chose a card. He then has to mime the sentence and the rest of the guests and family have to guess the passage.
The participant is not allowed to talk, but he may indicate how many words are in the passage with his fingers. He can show that a word rhymes with another word by touching his ear.
This game can be adapted for younger kids to act out the Ten Plagues or simpler words connected to the Passover story.
To get children excited in advance of the Seder, have them prepare plastecine or clay models of the four sons.
These can be placed on the Seder table and held up when that section of the Haggadah is read. They can also be used to stimulate a discussion as to what the Haggadah means by wicked, simple etc. (To get the conversation going, you might ask: Is it a bad thing to be simple? Why doesn't the fourth son know what to ask?)

Knockout Noodles: Simply It
Reviews of noodle dishes.
Chicago's Vietnamese-food scene, most would agree, is largely concentrated around the Argyle stop of the Red Line. If you're beset by a taste for phở, you don't need to stroll too far from the station to satisfy the craving. But surely there are pockets, or at least single outposts, elsewhere in town where you can score as-good Vietnamese noodles without trekking to Uptown? The proliferation of joints serving respectable bánh mì would suggest that such an expectation is not unfounded. Plus, I had already had luck with the noodles at Bon Bon in Wicker Park. So to carry on the experiment I recently turned my attention to Simply It, in Lincoln Park.
What I found was a restaurant of odd contradictions. The service could be frustratingly aloof at points, then overly attentive. Certain aspects of the food seemed lazily executed, while others showed great promise and care. But I came away thinking that the good outweighed the bad, thanks to the tip of the scales brought by the diverse and memorable noodles.
First up, the Asian vegetables on crispy noodles (mi xao don) ($10.25). To me this dish seemed more Chinese in flavor than Vietnamese, mostly due to its base of savory brown sauce. The nest of wispy fried egg noodles were accompanied by cabbage, carrots, broccoli, and string beans—all bright, crunchy, and fresh. The noodles themselves started off light and crispy; after mingling with the brown sauce, they acquired a firm bite and a more pronounced flavor. I liked how the dish developed as you ate it—to see the textural play of the vegetables against the crisp then more pliant noodles.
I was most looking forward to trying the Northern Vietnam fisherman's soup (bun rieu) (small $8.95/large $13.95). This is a tangy, brothy noodle soup littered with seafood, scrambled egg, tomatoes, and other veggies. I was dining with a friend, so the server assumed we wanted the "large" portion—which on the menu is suggested for two to four people (whereas the "small" is for one to two). Well, the bathtub that arrived could have easily fed six. Again, there was as much promise and delight as there was disappointment. The broth was intriguing—tomatoey, with a slight tangy, sour finish. Yet the quartered tomatoes in the broth were somewhat bland and tinny. Most of the seafood was tender and tasty, including the de-shelled mussels and crab. The exception was the pitifully small and extremely overcooked shrimp. The rice noodles came through, though, with a firm bite that never diminished after several returns to the massive cauldron.
The seafood noodles (hu tieu xao do bien) ($14.95) brought yet another noodle variety to the table: a ribbon-thick, doughy rice noodle. Simply It's kitchen uses the same brown sauce on this dish as it does on the crispy noodles, it turns out. Bummer—I was hoping for some new flavors. But that said, the noodles elevated what was otherwise a one-note dish. They has been given a healthy dose of wok char, lending each bite a smoky, charcoal-tinged undertone. Noodles to the rescue.

Plain text wiki update: I've updated the plain text wiki TextMate bundle (background) with a few new features:
Download here. I'm new to both Ruby and TextMate bundles... so, as ever, patches welcome!
Plain text wiki:
I'm a big fan of VoodooPad, the Mac desktop wiki application. It presents you with a good text editor, and a bunch of formatted text documents linked together in the UsualWikiWay (also some really innovative scripting hooks). I like wikis because my problem is not noting down loads of associated ideas (so I don't need mind mapping software)--my problem is linearising, and wikis really help me with putting down everything I'm thinking about, and massaging it into a talk, or project presentation, or whatever.
Here's my one problem with VoodooPad: The data is in a proprietary format. I've had computers long enough to know that I want my data in a format used by many, many applications over many, many years. So I use VoodooPad for arranging and notes I don't need to keep, and make sure my final presentation notes also exist as text files.
To be honest, the most important part of a wiki for me is the wiki--I'm not bothered about formatting or pictures. How about a plain text wiki? So that's what I've made.
The plain text wiki is implemented as a bundle inside TextMate, the (highly extensible) Mac text editor. To use it, I do this:
This is exactly what I need: A bunch of text documents that I'll be able to read at any point in the future, in a wiki structure that will be simple to implement in most extensible text editors. There are a bunch of things still to do (some helper command to create a new wiki folder would be great, and also to give different formatting to the words if the wiki page doesn't exist yet), but this is my first TextMate bundle and I'm not sure how to do those yet.
Anyway, there's barely anything there... but if you want it, feel free to download. Grab the Plain Text Wiki bundle (get the zip; it's unpacked there too so you can browse) and double click to install. Patches welcome!
Update: Hey, I want to clarify something here. I love VoodooPad and won't stop using it. I like it even more now Gus Mueller has pointed out how to make it save in plain text. There's also room in my life for this super simple, plain text wiki directory thing, because I know its wikiness can be easily implemented again in the future. But 'proprietary,' as a word, is a strong one, making things appear black and white, and I used it recklessly. I'm sorry about how I put together the blog post above.


text: National Aquarium visitors will get up close and personal with blacktip reef sharks, stingrays, a giant green sea turtle and other marine life, as well as the vibrant light, color and activity of an entire coral reef ecosystem when the highly anticipated Blacktip Reef exhibit opens its "jaws" in Baltimore's Inner Harbor in August. With one of the country's most comprehensive recreations of an Indo-Pacific reef, the exhibit will be the new centerpiece at Maryland's top tourist attraction and nonprofit. It will feature a school of sleek and fast-moving blacktip reef sharks, known for the distinctive and prominent black tips on their fins. With 15 other major marine life species, more than 60 additional varieties of fish and one integrated, self-contained ecosystem in this 260,000-gallon exhibit, a trip to Baltimore's Inner Harbor will be the closest way to experience an environment of sharks and an endangered coral ecosystem without traveling thousands of miles or getting wet. "As our name implies, creating exhibits and programs that are indeed national—in scope, importance and impact—is a significant part of our work. Blacktip Reef is an excellent example of this," said John Racanelli, National Aquarium CEO. "It captures the beauty and mystery of an Indo-Pacific coral reef while conveying a compelling message about the urgent need to protect both the habitat and its diverse inhabitants. This is the first in an ambitious series of innovations here at the National Aquarium, all of which underscore our commitment to inspire conservation of the world's aquatic treasures." The $12.5 million coral reef exhibit is the first stage of a project to renew and refresh National Aquarium, Baltimore, which draws more than 1.3 million visitors each year. It will introduce several upgrades to improve visitors' ability to get close to the animals, including a 27-foot viewing window that curves four feet into the underwater reef itself. On the upper level, visitors will be able to look down onto the reef from viewing platforms, while the entire exhibit can be viewed on three sides. Visitors will be able to experience daily diver presentations and feedings. In addition to the blacktip reef sharks, the exhibit's new attractions include 5-foot wide whiprays and camouflaged ornate wobbegong sharks. They will be joined by existing aquarium favorites such as Calypso, the 500-pound green sea turtle, and the beloved zebra sharks Zeke and Zoe. High-res versions of Blacktip Reef sharks, highlighted animals and exhibit renderings are available by request. Please see examples at http://aqua.org/blacktip-reef . Categories: Exhibits

12 March 2014 – The Dubai Lynx International Festival of Creativity has drawn to a close after three inspirational days of creativity, learning and networking. The Awards Show, which will see the winners revealed and celebrated, is taking place tonight at the Madinat Arena, Dubai.
Ahead of the Awards, the final three shortlists have now been released by the juries. 18 have been shortlisted in Branded Content & Entertainment, 56 in Film Craft and 7 in Integrated.
Yesterday delegates enjoyed seminars from jury presidents Graham Fink and Gabriela Lungu, as well as PHD's Mark Holden who looked at how thinking and mechanics can be used as a business model; Humberto Polar of Draftfcb Peru who explained how with increased humanistic approaches campaign effectiveness can improve; WPP's John O'Keefe who gave his argument for the importance of getting back to basics and coming up with ideas; Laura Krajecki from Starcom MediaVest who discussed the current era of visual engagement; and Ogilvy & Mather's Rory Sutherland who looked at understanding human decision making and the resulting consumer responses to marketing.
10 Forums were delivered to packed rooms across the three days. Offering a smaller, more interactive learning environment, the Forums came from the Film Makers Panel, Infusion, iV2, Gyro, du, L & K Saatchi & Saatchi, photographer Euan Air, visual artist Gary Yong aka Enforce One, Brandhome, Google and YouTube
This year's Dubai Lynx saw a huge dedication to the nurturing of talent with over 50 people taking part in tailored academies. Offering an unbeatable environment for the development of skills, the Lynx Academy offered exclusive learning opportunities to students; the Future Leaders of Marketing helped young marketers achieve their potential; Think Tank aided senior marketers in harnessing their creativity to build effective strategies; and the Digital Lab equipped attendees with a deeper understanding of digital creativity.
