McDonald's is on a mission to get pink slime out of your head. The fast-food chain has released a new video attempting — once again — to explain the contents of its famous chicken McNuggets.
In the video, former "Mythbusters" cast member Grant Imahara visits a Tyson factory. It's one of five facilities making chicken McNuggets in the U.S. He starts his factory tour by showing his tour guide, Principal Meat Scientist (yes that is her real title) Amy Steward, a photo of pink slime.
For those who may need a refresher, pink slime is an industrial filler made of a mixture of parts of a cow and chemicals including ammonia.
"I don't know where that picture came from, but that's not used in chicken McNuggets," Steward says in the video.
In the factory, multiple lines of people are shown cutting full chickens into pieces. Steward explains that only breast meat, rib meat, tenderloin and chicken skin end up in a McNugget.
Once the chicken meat is ground, it heads to a mixing machine where it mixes with what Steward calls skin and "marination." In McDonald's speak, marination means water, sodium phosphate, modified food starch, salt, wheat starch, dextrose, citric acid, autolyzed yeast extract, rosemary extract and safflower oil.
The ground chicken is then formed into those familiar misshapen nuggets before going through a layer of batter, then a thin layer of breading, which includes white pepper and celery. It's then coated with what Steward calls a "tempura coating" of wheat flour, corn flour and different types of starch. The nuggets are partially cooked, then flash frozen.
Gena Bumgarner, who works in the facility's sensory kitchen, claims she evaluates chicken McNuggets off the line every hour.
"First we evaluate on appearance," said Bumgarner. "We want to make sure it's a light golden brown, make sure it has ridges and peaks, and then you need to have a slightly firm texture, but still juicy."
Bumgarner also looks for a "chicken flavor" and some "light pepper and celery notes."
At the end of the video, Imahara is back in a McDonald's restaurant, chowing down on chicken McNuggets. They may be his new favorite food, on camera, but the jury is still out for the rest of us.
But how do they make the Sweet n Sour sauce? Follow me on Twitter @Jenn_Harris_

Pompom basket DIY
Doesn't the picture above look summery? Bright colours, dappled sunlight coming through the trees, I can almost imagine myself going to the beach! The orange, pink, yellow and blue pompoms sure made this average basket look festive.
Last week I showed you how you make pompom fridge magnet, I loved how those cute things made my fridge look fun so I thought lets do another pompom craft this week :) Instead of using a fork to make the pompoms, like last week, this week we will use the cardboard method. That's the way I learned to make pompoms when I was a child, don't think we had pompom makers then ;) If you have little ones around this would be a great craft for them to help you with, little ladies might even like a pompom basket for themselves.
Have a look at the video below to see how can make your own
Couldn't be easier, right? I would love to see your own pompom creations! Why not drop me a picture on Instagram, you can find me on Byhestergrams Makes me thinks though what other crafts I can do with pompoms....Got an idea? :)

Manchester: Where to Eat and Drink
We've said it before and we'll say it again: if you're headed to the UK any time soon and Manchester isn't on your list, change that ASAP. A quick two hours from London and Edinburgh by train, Manchester has a rich history of industrial and cultural innovation. It's the birthplace of the industrial revolution, women's suffrage and a number of influential bands, including Oasis, The Smiths, and Joy Division.
It also has some delicious and beautiful places to eat and drink.
We spent a large chunk of our time on eating and drinking, so we think we might be able to speak with some authority (what little it might be) on where to go next time you're in the city. Here's a list of where to eat and drink in Manchester.
9 Places to Eat and Drink in Manchester
1. El Gato Negro
Delicious Spanish tapas restaurant and bar decorated like an opulent Spanish townhouse. We especially liked the tomato, watermelon and feta salad, but everything Chef Simon Shaw served up at El Gato Negro was on point.
2. Science + Industry
Tucked upstairs at Cane and Grain, this speakeasy-style cocktail bar serves up classic and innovative house cocktails. Science + Industry also has cocktail-making classes that let you make (and drink) two different bespoke house cocktails.
(For more information on the cocktail making class, check out our article 5 Unique Ways to have Fun in Manchester)
3. The Refuge by Volta
Set in a gorgeous industrial (and highly Instagram-able) space, the Refuge is a great place to grab a drink or meal and people watch for hours.
4. Albert Schloss
Another Instagram darling, Albert Schloss is a brunch hotspot in Manchester. And its flowered doorway and Bavarian ski lodge interior are worth a peek.
5. Altrincham Market House
We didn't get a chance to visit this one but we heard so many good things that we thought we should include it in here. Altrincham Market House is a restored Victorian market hall filled with artisan food traders. It's a great spot for brunch, with lots of different vendors to choose from.
GRUB is an outdoor street-food market that opened earlier this summer. It combines food stands, booze trucks, street art and live DJs. Great for when your group can't make up their mind on what to eat.
7. Impossible Manchester
Impossible is a great new bar that opened up right near Town Hall, across from Great Northern Warehouse. The décor alone is worth a visit, but the Gin & Tonics at Innovate were exactly what we needed.
8. Crazy Pedro's
If you have a hankering for a late night slice or cheap pint, Crazy Pedro's will not disappoint. Along with their regular pizza menu is a delicious daily feature. When we went it was the PB&J (Pepperoni, Bacon & Jalapeño).
9. Bongo's Bingo
If you read our last post about Manchester, you've heard this before. You'd never believe how much fun bingo can be. Seriously, we would go back to Manchester just for this. Located in the gorgeous Albert Hall, Bongo's Bingo is an absolutely ridiculous experience. After a long day of walking around we were fully ready to go to bed at 10pm, but once it started we couldn't help but stay till close. File this one under places to drink. (See our post 5 Unique Ways to have Fun in Manchester for more details about Bongo's Bingo)
After spending only a weekend, we've decided we definitely need to return to Manchester one day. What are your favorite places to eat and drink in Manchester? Let us know on Facebook or Instagram!


text: Cold & Flu Treatment Over the Counter Print Choosing Over the Counter Cough Medications By Kristina Duda, RN Updated September 18, 2019 More in Cold & Flu Treatment Over the Counter Prevention Symptoms Common Cold Flu Related Illnesses In This Article Table of Contents Expand Expectorants Suppressants Multi-Symptom More Options View All Back To Top When you get sick and have an irritating cough, you probably just want it to go away. There are dozens of medications on the pharmacy shelves that promise to quiet a cough, but do they actually work? There are two different types of over the counter cough medications — expectorants and suppressants. They work very differently and which one you should take depends on the type of cough you are experiencing. Expectorants Expectorants are a class of cough medicine that helps to get mucus out of your lungs. They thin the mucus and help you cough it out more easily. Expectorants are useful when you have thick congestion and you can't cough it up on your own. Because they help make your cough more productive, expectorants can help prevent illnesses such as pneumonia. Some common expectorants available over the counter include: RobitussinMucinexGuaifenesin (generic) Suppressants Cough suppressants are a class of cough medicine that help you stop coughing. There has been some debate about how well cough suppressants work. Because coughing is a natural response to foreign substances in the lungs, it is not always a good idea to try to stop a cough. A growing amount of research has found they are not effective, especially in children. However, many people still feel cough suppressants are necessary. If you decide to use one, they are best used only at night when you are having trouble sleeping. Some common cough suppressants available over the counter include: DelsymRobitussin CoughDextromethorphan (generic) Multi-Symptom Cold and Flu Medications Cough medications are commonly used in multi-symptom cold and flu medications and are sold under many different brand names. Always check the labels of the medications you are taking to see what the ingredients are and what they do. It's important not to take additional cough medications if you are taking a multi-symptom medicine that has an expectorant or cough suppressant in it. If you have been coughing for several days or your cough is severe, contact your health care provider to see if you need a different treatment or type of medication. More Options If you don't want to take an over the counter cough medication or they aren't working for you, there are other options to help you get relief. Drinking a lot of fluid and staying hydrated is more important than you think. It's also important to be aware when a cough is a sign of a more serious problem. Sometimes a persistent cough can be a sign that a person is not breathing as well as they should be. This is especially true in children. If you are concerned about your cough or your child's, contact your health care provider. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Looking to avoid getting the flu?

Mark Story
Blue Preview: A guide to Kentucky's football opener at Southern Miss
Kentucky at Southern Mississippi
When: 4 p.m., Saturday
Where: Hattiesburg, Miss.
TV: CBS Sports Network (play-by-play, Dave Ryan; analyst, Corey Chavous; sideline, Melanie Collins)
Radio: WLAP-AM 630, WBUL-FM 98.1, XM Channel 191, Sirius Channel 112
Records: Kentucky 0-0 (7-6 in 2016), Southern Mississippi 0-0 (7-6)
Series: Kentucky leads 2-1
Last meeting: Southern Mississippi won 44-35 on Sept. 3, 2016, in Lexington
Line: Kentucky is favored by 10 points
The story line
Kentucky opens the fifth season of the Mark Stoops coaching era seeking vengeance on Southern Mississippi. The Golden Eagles of Conference USA stunned the Cats a season ago by rallying from 35-10 down to win the 2016 season opener 44-35.
On the spot
Mark Stoops. A year ago, Southern Mississippi offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson — who Stoops fired from the same position at UK after the 2015 season — embarrassed UK to the tune of 44 points, 96 offensive plays, 304 yards rushing and 520 yards of total offense. The only thing worse for Stoops than last year's episode of "Dawson's Revenge" would be a repeat showing.
The big threat
Ito Smith burned Kentucky for 173 yards rushing plus 40 yards more on five receptions last season. The performance in Lexington launched the 5-foot-9, 193-pound running back to a banner junior season, in which he ran for 1,459 yards and 17 touchdowns and caught 43 passes for 459 yards. To win, UK has to slow down the senior from Mobile, Ala.
The mood
Seems more "guarded" than "optimistic." Kentucky enters 2017 off its first winning season since 2009, but UK season ticket sales have been so-so at best. As we saw last season, an early-season defeat to Southern Mississippi does not inevitably derail a Wildcats season. However, an impressive road victory by UK would inject energy into the Kentucky football "Cat-mosphere."

Authentic food and spirited ambiance at Pambiche
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Pambiche, a Cuban restaurant on NE Glisan, is acclaimed for its mural of la Virgen de la Caridad and its beautiful representation of the island. The restaurant is also known for its authentic food and fun decor. Cuban food comes from a blend of many different cultural influences. It is derived from an integration of African, Caribbean, Taino and Spanish cuisines, all melded together to create simple yet flavorful dishes.
I was initially greeted by multiple caffeinated workers who suavely twirled past and around the sea of diners in order to reach their next destination. The restaurant was buzzing with a euphoric mood. As I was seated, the decor immediately drew my attention with its vibrant, dynamic colors. The lively Cuban music produced a spirited ambiance.
We ordered and did not have to wait too long for the food to come.The typical Cuban dish consists of rice and beans cooked together or apart. The specific dish I ordered was called Congri, which was a rice and beans dish that was mixed together and molded into a perfect cylinder. It was filled with flavor yet very basic at the same time. I also ordered plantains which the menu referred to as "Cuban fries." They were perfectly paired with the accompanying hot sauce and banana sauce. The empanada, a hollow dough like roll filled with a blend of spinach and cheese (espinacas con queso) was delightful.
Pambiche is a must try restaurant. From the customer service, the delicious food, and the beautiful decor, you will eat Cuban delicacies and not want to leave. Now that I have had the true Pambiche experience, I will certainly be coming back for more.

I'm just getting back from this weekend's google apps summit at the American School in Japan. To get ready for a big switchover to google apps, my school sent more than 20 teachers. With eight workshops, two keynotes, one "demo slam," and hundreds of side conversations, the information and ideas are overflowing.
Several people suggested grasping a few things that are cool and exciting and run with those (rather than trying every single idea you hear). While the information is still fresh, here are the ideas and tools I want to try:
1. Taking google drive to the next level.
- More collaborative writing
- Online homework
- Digital learning logs
- Shared vocabulary lists
- Player created playbooks for my basketball teams
This is only a beginning. There are hundreds of possibilities, and I am ready to start experimenting.
2. Taking digital storytelling to the next level with youtube annotations.
In the fall my students wrote a choose your own adventure (CYOA) story where each scene branched in two different directions, leading to more than a dozen endings. It was really cool, but after presenting it to some other students, we had no idea what to do with it.
In December, after I went to Jason Ohler's workshop, my class tried digital storytelling and published our work to youtube. I briefly thought about how youtube might work as a medium for our CYOA story, but I had no idea how to do it. Then on Saturday, presenter Jim Sill showed us a way to create links in youtube editing that take you to other videos. It's not too complicated…once you upload your video, you go into editing, then annotations, and then you insert boxes with your links.
He also had links to some examples of CYOA stories. If we could digitize our adventure story, this would be the perfect way to tell it. This is somewhat of an intimidating project, but I have a few students who, if taught the tools, would run with it (and probably do most of the project on their own time).
3. Expanding my PLN (professional learning network)
One of the main reasons people go to conferences, in any profession, is for the connections. In two COETAIL sessions, I've already learned as much from my classmates as I have from the instructors. The google apps summit was another version of this. There were amazing presenters, but in the audience, sitting around me, I talked to interesting people doing interesting things. I've tweeted more in the last week than I have in the first three and a half years of having a twitter account, and this blog has helped me both clarify my thoughts connect with others. These two tools will be large sources of professional growth as I move forward.
I'm feeling unusually energized for a Sunday evening. Will update soon on how well I'm implementing these new ideas.

Does your case involve broken metal? Need a metal expert? Metallurgical engineers, also known as metallurgists are highly qualified in this area of study. Metallurgists can help you find the root cause of the accident, and can explain how metal reacts to stress. Metallurgists understand metal, how it is developed and how metal fatigues, how metal is developed, metal design and manufacturing deficiencies and poor maintenance and abusive handling of metal components. Metallurgists can read the metal, and tell you the type of failure, where and why it started, and sometimes, how long it took to fail.
J.E.I. Metallurgical can help you find the true root cause of your metal failure. Physical examination, destructive and non-destructive testing or othertypes of metallurgical testing of a metal failure can be tangible documentation to help strengthen your case. These findings can be explained in a factual report or given as expert witness testimony. Have you ever dealt with an accident involving metal? Have you ever needed help piecing the accident puzzle back together and determining the root cause?

The country of Thibet, widely reg-arded, comprising the whole of the region, occupies nearly 700,000 square miles, nowhere below 10,000 feet in elevation, generally 12,000 feet above the sea level, and many parts have scarcely been explored by European travelers. In. those rugged uplands, with-their severe climate, long- journeys must always be extremely laborious and attended with, personal hardships and fatigues; but the physical difficulties are less than the political, from the hostility of the Lamas, the Buddhist ecclesiastical corporation ruling Thibet, and from the unfriendly intrigues of Chinese officials, whe oppose the approach of .-foreign visitors. -.

The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph writes: "Nearly every day, when the session begins, an old man, gaunt and gray, is seen strolling about through the House slowly from desk to desk, and in and put of tho cloak-rooms. A batch ot white hair imperfectly covers his head, and scant white whiskers sprout over his hollow cheeks. He is straight as an arrow.- His long neck is incased in an old-f;:ahioned standing collar and stock, and his figure seems taller than it could be proved "by measurement, on ost of his "extreme thinness. Now and then he runs his bony fingers through his hair and looks about him in a vague, bewildered sort of way. The scene is familiar to him, yet tho faces all about are strange, and he walks down the center aisle looking from side to side, like a shads from the past He is the relic of a former generation of statesmen appearing now as a'resurrec- tion . to look upon the scenes once familiar to him, and watching the actions of anew generation. No Jook of recognition greets him, and he lags superfluous, linking the present with a past decade. He spends all day in the House or; in the Senate watching the proceedings with a curious and cr-tical interest. "The old man is a statesman and orator of the time before the war. It is Clingman, a colleague of Webster, Clay, Calhoun and all the old-time statesmen whom wo love to honor. He used to have his seatin tho old Hall of Representatives,'now occupied by stone' images: he sat, on tho arm of Clay's chair,'with his hand resting on the great ; Kentuckian's shoulder, while listening to the eloquent Webster's famous speech on the 7th of March. He marched into the old Hall of Representatives by the side of President Jackson to hear Adams deliver'his eulogy on Lafayette. His voice has sounded among the arches where still lingered the eloquence of Clay. He has not been in Congress since the war, at the outbreak of which he was expelled for joining the Confederacy, He is now wandering among the scenes of his. public career, and getting the satisfaction of old age .at all the recollections revised by sitting in the seats once occupied by him and his colleagues, and by comparing the statesmen of to-day with those of his own time. The expression, that comes across his face from, time to time as he watches the disorderly proceedings of the House, seems to ind.cate that the present Congress suffers by the comparison."

You've been here before, you know the drill.
39 nations enter, one nation leaves victorious with a song that can top the charts across a whole continent but that is scandalously unlikely to be playlisted by BBC Radio 1.
I disagree that Eurovision is some naff light-ent relic that is basically good for a laugh one (or maybe three) nights a year. I disagree strongly. It's basically the bizarro-world version of our own increasingly weird pop charts. It is holding a mirror up to popular music and showing it what it sort of looks like. There are in fact some genuinely good, well-written songs with a long term appeal in there. I have a playlist of my favourites on spotify which is 2 hours long!
There are also some songs that are not good. There are some songs that barely qualify as music. There are appalling staging, performance and costuming decisions. There are sometimes tuning issues. There once was Dustin The Turkey.
But enough of the portentous foreshadowing! What can we expect in the first semi-final?
Austria - Shine (Natalia Kelly)
I did watch the Austrian national final (I'm one of *those* Eurofans nowadays) and I did like this one. It's a sort of Adele mid-album type stompy ballad and I think the singer is unfeasibly young. It's got some big old notes in the final chorus (complete with key change) that might go horribly awry. Could go either way.
Belarus - Solayoh (Alyona Lanskaya)
This is basically the amazing pop sound of Eurovision 2008-2011 distilled into a little capsule of fun and lungs. It's not one that I'd heard before this review round, but it is hooky, fun and increasingly importantly, it is not a safely impassioned ballad. I'm expecting a huge Ruslana style dance workout in the drum breakdown section she's got instead of the middle 8.
Belgium - Love Kills (Roberto Bellarosa)
Nothing hugely wrong with it, but like a lot of modern pop songwriting it uses some old rave tricks to manufacture a sort of rush feeling which perks up an otherwise slightly lame song. I remember reading a music blog piece about how they're totally overusing the 'rush' and wanted to share it with you, but can't google it up. Any help?
Croatia - Mižerja (Klapa s Mora)
I can't pretend to be an expert on the Klapa folk music style, but this is something you don't see that often these days: actual national musical styles represented. It passed three minutes nicely in a sort of Radio 3 speciality choral way. I wouldn't even know what Klapa was if I hadn't been religiously listening to Ewan Spence's excellent ESC podcast, so now I'm passing the knowledge on to you.
Cyprus - An Me Thimase (Despina Olympiou)
This is the first really daft video of the evening. It's just one of those 'lady in a floaty dress in nature' vids, but manages to also look like a really cutting parody of the same. It's a ballad. It's pretty enough but it's not what I came for and I was entirely able to fiddle around with blog settings while forgetting I was supposed to be listening to it. But you're not here to hear about my attention span problems.
Denmark - Only Teardrops (Emmeline de Forest)
I bloody love this one. Combines a song that sounds like it's from the late 90's heyday of celtic-ish pop with a winsome, barefoot, tousled-haired singer in a druidess costume to quite some effect. I think the staging is perhaps overdone with the drummers and the tin-whistler getting a bit too much prominence, but I really like it. I hope it makes the final (I think it probably will) and I hope it does really, really well.
Estonia - Et uus saaks alguse (Birgit Oigemeel)
I'm already done with ballads, even worthy ones that kick in for the first chorus. I am the kind of girl who likes power ballads if someone like maybe Bonnie Tyler is involved. Bonnie Tyler is not involved.
The rule change this year means that the producers are arranging the songs in the order that they would make the best show. I think at some point they're going to look at the production white board and mark a section 'kettles on for the ballad section'.
Ireland - Only Love Survives (Ryan Dolan)
I watched them do the selection on the Late Late Show, and it was a sort of queasy mixture of surrealism and amateurism involving Danny DeVito, Lordi and widespread tuning 'issues'. This song was probably the Calvin Harris-lite best of the bunch. Some of the others were just awful.
This video might be enough to single handedly kill off the heart hands gesture though.
Lithuania - Something (Andrius Pojavis)
Promising. Once it kicks in it sounds a bit like Editors or Aha or something. If yer man can resist the temptation to do that off key shout of 'yeah' and they beef up the backing track slightly, this it actually rather good and almost my sort of thing.
Moldova - O Mie (Aliona Moon)
The first costuming decision to provoke a 'WTF?' is Aliona, and she's covered in metal rings, with one of those projector screen dresses, some 70s Dr Who extras dancing around in satin hoods behind her and it's all distracted me from the song. Now the key change and it looks like her dress is on fire! I think it was good, but I think her voice needs a bit more from bottom end to make it seem less screechy when she finally goes for it in the last chorus.
Montenegro - Igranka (Who See )
Challenging, bleepy, filthy electro and some very gravelly rapping before the whole business collapses into Eurovision's very first official dubstep freakout. If they manage to come up with something slightly less comedically sexist than this sort of 'Dirrrty 2013 remix' thing for the stage show, I think I can whole heartedly approve. I mean, look at it, it's well dodgy. I like this even though I wish I didn't. They're going to need my vote though, I don't know if everyone is going to dig it.
It does make everyone who sent a timid wee ballad look daft though, which I like.
Russia - What If (Dina Garipova)
Less bombastic than I've come to expect from Russia, although apparently the mere performance of this song caused a theatre full of people to start spontaneously swaying and loving one another. Watch out Malmö, I guess.
Serbia - Ljubav je svuda (Moje 3)
I wish they weren't dressed in tacky hen night costumes, because this is basically a nice uptempo Saturdays song and that's the kind of thing we can all get more or less behind. I can only assume the angel/devil/golden lass thing is a reference to some lyrics which are entirely in Serbian.
If the next song is a ballad, I'm going to listen to that nasty Montenegran dubstep nonsense again first as a sort of reverse palette cleanser.
Slovenia - Straight Into Love (Hannah)
What a gyp. It starts out with dubstep burps and whirrs but then flops out a ballady verse. But then... ARMS ALOFT! The filter effect on the synths is a tad harsh and the whole thing feels a bit empty, maybe missing something in the mid range to fill out the sound, like some of the pro tools tracks got deleted (do they even use pro tools nowadays?)
It's ok, and at least sounds modern and like someone was making an effort. I give lots of points for both those categories, even if the end result is a slight fail.
The Netherlands - Birds (Anouk)
The only excuse for sending a ballad to Eurovision is if it's a really weirdly gorgeous ballad. Anouk is an enormous star here, and has no need to do Eurovision. The general feeling about ESC in the Netherlands is that they never qualify for the final any more and so they don't care. But now they've sent their biggest star singing a really haunting song that seems to be about catastrophic pollution and the end of the world. It gives me chills, it's not at all a Eurovision thing and it's terribly pretty in a very sad way. I have no idea if it'll qualify for the final.
Ukraine - Gravity (Zlata Ognevich)
I first saw this song just after the national finals when it was the very definition of the Eurovision hot mess. There was clearly something there, that's why it won, but the arrangement was all over the shop and one of the backing vocalists was much louder than everyone else to a slightly comic effect. Now, as you can see, it's gone the whole Fern Gully hog. You can never write Ukraine off, especially if they are allowed to bring the unicorns from the video to the big show. Holy crap, we're 2:30 in and it's still building! Sadly, they never really push it over the edge and set it on fire, so I'm left feeling slightly frustrated by it. Maybe they'll have a huge pyro at the end.
And that was the first semi final. More later.

Several years ago, (so many I can't find the original blog post, even here), I claimed that because of the amount of unknowns, creating a real estimate was impossible. My friend Ben Simo left a comment, saying "Two Weeks."
I guess I didn't say it had to be accurate.
Tom Demarco once claimed the way most estimation is done is to guess a number just hard enough that the technical team is scared, but not aggressive enough that they laugh at you. If they breathe a sigh of relief, DeMarco suggested that [bad] management can find some emergency reason to make the dates more aggressive.
Here's the kicker: Most organizations can see a massive increase in prediction accuracy using a technique I call the Heusser Estimation method – a method I'm willing to give away, on my blog, for free, right now.
This method is not universal. It applies in certain contexts. Luckily those context match nearly every single project I have worked on in my entire career. Here goes:
- The project's requirements are … squiffy. You don't know exactly what you'll build; the customer will elaborate on the requirements during the project. For example: Even if you have "complete" requirements, they say things like "handles errors appropriately", but don't say what the pop-up error message will be. Surprise! The customer wants you to pause for 30 seconds, resubmit the job, then email operations if it fails — not pop-up an error.
b) The project itself will change, as either the business environment changes or the customer sees the software in progress and responds emotionally, saying something like this: "Well, that is exactly what we asked for, but now that we see it … we know what we really need."
This is where the "impossible to estimate" claim came from. We don't know how long it will take because no one knows what it even is.
And yet …
… and yet …
Let's do it anyway.
The Heusser Estimation Method
Since things will change, just ask "what's my budget" … the run until the budget is gone. Assume, for example, that you are giving six months, or a budget of $240,000. Given that, divide by Sprint length (2 weeks) or cost per sprint ($20,000) and you know how many sprints you've got. Each sprint, if not more often, you deliver working software and allow the customer to adjust. At the end of a twelve sprint contract, the customer can extend or call the work done. My company, Excelon Development, executed fourteen contracts in 2016 using this method.
Notice this fails if the budget is wildly out of whack; no one is going to the moon with a team of ten people in two weeks. Some projects, such as an ERP upgrade, are very hard to half-do – yet for all of those, I have always found a good team can break down the project into chunks and show running, tested features often enough for the decision makers to realize three months for the upgrade was naive. Some times, the customer needs to see how things are going themselves, so they can decide the team won't make it — and the team can provide options abut what to do instead.
Sometimes you can do better better than that. Historical data is one way to do better. For example, get a list of projects, by person-months of effort, ideally with the same team-size.
Project A – 25 person-months, 5 person team
Project B – 30 person-months, 5 person team
Project C – 45 person-months, 5 person team
Look at the next project. How "big" is it? Somewhere between A and B? Plan for 30 person-months. Boom. Done.
In my experience, these sorts of "bigger than a bread box, smaller than a fire truck" estimates tend to be as accurate as classic functional decomposition, where we break everything down into small pieces, then add it back up again. That's because we tend to estimate in terms of perfect person-days, if everything goes right, what DeMaro and Lister call "the nano-percent date" – the point where our percent chance of success moves from 0% to slightly-more-than-zero-percent.
We can do better still.
Historical Throughput
Teams tend to use velocity, with points, to track performance. If the stories are roughly the same size, or even close, I find you can typically count stories. Tracking velocity over time, most people use average of velocity to predict performance. Except, of course, if you use averages for planning you'll be wrong half the time.
Because that is how math works.
Troy Magennis, of focused objective, suggests a different method: Use a confidence interval.
Get a list of the recent sprint performance (say ten sprints) and sort by performance. The work remaining divided by the worst performance gives us a 95% confidence interval. For 90%, average the performance of the worst two sprints. For 85%, use the worst three. All the way down to average of all of them, which is 50% confidence, because again, that's how math works. For less confidence, average the best nine sprints (45%), the best eight (40%), the best seven (35%), and so on.
Here's the thing: Don't give senior management, or the customer, a date at all. Let them take the date they have in mind, and look at the percentage, and adjust it. If they ask for advice, suggest the 60 to 70% confidence range.
Don't worry, I'll deal with the rough edges in a follow up post. We can get into histograms and the Weibull Curve and what to do if you don't know the number of stories and Christmas and Spring break skews the numbers … don't worry. In the mean time, tell me why I'm wrong in the comments. This will be fun.
Thinking About Estimates: The Past Through Tomorrow
Twenty-five years ago I was a military cadet in the Frederick Composite Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol. Hanging in the case office was a sign put their by some unknown cadet officer before my time, which read:
"We the willing,
Led by the unknowing,
Have been doing the impossible,
For the Ungrateful.
We have been doing so much,
For So Long,
With So Little,
That we are now qualified to do anything for nothing."
While that quote is not strictly true, the spirit — the we will walk gallantly and properly in the face of time pressure, uncertainty, and ambiguity — is the heart of the Heusser Estimation Method.
Go Forth and Be Awesome.

Leaves leave home
Ripped away by
Autumn breezes
Along cooler streets
Whipping up orphans
Lying bereft, forlorn
Dying on the floor
Of the world
Melting into pools
Of future life
Returning to Earth
As the mother calls
Her children home
For the winter
Burning to nourish
To protect, to provide
Until the sun returns
Springing life into being
From the Gaian womb
All safe, all sound
All perfect
As natural as the Whispering Breeze.
Today, Earth Day,the prompt is: "to write a "pastoral" poem.Traditionally, pastoral poems involved various shepherdesses and shepherds talking about love and fields, but yours can really just be a poem that engages with nature."
I hope you enjoy my effort! 🙂

The Higher Education Exchange is founded on a thought articulated by Thomas Jefferson in 1820: "I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education."
In the tradition of Jefferson, the Higher Education Exchange agrees that a central goal of higher education is to help make democracy possible by preparing citizens for public life. The Higher Education Exchange is part of a movement to strengthen higher education's democratic mission and foster a more democratic culture throughout American society.
Working in this tradition, the Higher Education Exchange publishes interviews, case studies, analyses, news, and ideas about efforts within higher education to develop more democratic societies.

The Turning Point
Last year I was faced with making a decision to close our 5 1/2 year old church plant that I envisioned lasting forever. Let me not sugarcoat, but be perfectly honest. Making this decision was hard. Just 2 years prior to this point, I had emphatically told my pastor that I would never leave my church. His response, "If it's your church you will never leave. If it's God's church you will leave when He tells you." Now standing in the reality of this moment, it was time to see who the church really belonged to.
Remember to dream bigger, dream bolder, dream that God's best is possible for you.

March 2016/
I trust you have been blessed as you read over this website and look at the plans and pictures page. Lots has been happening concerning the Ministry Center Project. As you may know H*VMI needs to seek approvals from the Akron Borough Council for this project plan to become a reality. We have begun this process, but it is still in its very early stages.
As we continue on through this process we are praising the Lord for these things that happened this past month:
- We have made presentations before the Akron Borough Council and the Akron Planning Commission, and our petition to adjust some language in the Zoning Ordinance has been accepted for review.
- Two articles have been written in the local Ephrata Review, both making the front page, giving details on the ministry of H*VMI and the upcoming project. The links to these articles are included at the end of this update.
- H*VMI was part of an evening news report on BRC 11 (a local cable station) and they included details about the ministry and the project as well.
- In both of these avenues of media publicity, God was given the glory. The first line of the second article in the Review reads, "Talk with Tim Sheetz and Kyle Robinson about Handi*Vangelism Ministries International for just a short time, and you will quickly perceive a palpably prayerful attitude about their possible future in Akron…"
All Glory be to God for these things.
The team here at H*VMI continues to work with professionals on our plan as we move ahead in this process. Please continue to praise the Lord with us as we look to the future.

Current renters might be wondering if it's time to buy their first homes. Going from monthly rent payments to paying off a home is a big step, but it can be an excellent investment for people looking to settle down. Down-payments and mortgage costs might scare prospective buyers from taking the leap, especially if they still have debt from car or student loans.
Some of the most significant benefits of buying a home include:
- Tax-deductible interest payments.
- Flexible mortgage options.
- Freedom to make the house into a home without needing the landlord's permission.
However, some costs homeowners make that renters do not worry about include:
- Paying for home repairs and renovations.
- Homeowner's insurance.
- Property taxes.
- Real estate broker expenses, if moving.
If individuals have enough finances to pay for a house in cash, they can afford to buy the home. However, if they don't the means to do this, as is the case with many Americans, they should consider taking out a mortgage. If households have the funds to get a mortgage, they should be financially ready to buy a house. What kind of income and savings can qualify individuals for mortgages?
Back-end debt-to-income ratio
The Federal Housing Administration typically uses this standard when approving mortgages. A back-end DTI of 43 percent typically suggests that homebuyers can afford to make their mortgage payments every month. The types of debt that make up this number include (but are not limited to):
- Mortgages
- Mortgage insurance
- Property taxes
- Homeowner's insurance
- Student loans
- Credit card fees
- Car loan payments
According to this FHA guideline, these regular debt payments and housing-related costs should not be more than 43 percent of the household's monthly gross income.
Front-end debt-to-income ratio
Some mortgage lenders might take this number into consideration. This ratio is similar to the back-end DTI, but only considers debt regarding housing costs. According to Bankrate, lenders consider an ideal front-end DTI to be no higher than 28 percent.
How to calculate front- and back-end DTI
To demonstrate how to calculate both types of debt-to-income ratios, it might be helpful to provide an example. Using the following monthly expenses, what is this household's back-end DTI?
- Gross earnings: $5,000
- Student loans: $250
- Credit card fees: $100
- Car loan payments: $372
To figure out the target back-end and front-end DTI, multiple the gross income by 0.43. This means these homebuyers should have a back-end DTI below $2,150. Since the sum of the amount given is $722, this means the housing-related expenses should be below $1,428.
Calculating the front-end DTI means multiplying the gross income by 0.28. When searching for homes, this household should try to maintain a front-end DTI of approximately $1,400. This means the sum of their mortgage, mortgage insurance, property taxes and homeowner's insurance should be around this cost on a monthly basis.
Making sacrifices
If potential homeowners enjoy going to expensive restaurants, traveling to exotic locations working out at high-class gyms or doing costly activities on the weekends, they might need to give some of these expenses up when saving for a house and affording mortgage payments. If they are not willing to forfeit these pricey hobbies, they might not be ready to make the investment commitment of purchasing a house.
Saving for retirement
Before buying a house, individuals should have started saving up for retirement. Perhaps they have a workplace 401k plan or an IRA, in which a percentage of their earnings go directly into their retirement funds. The Balance recommended individuals have 10 to 15 percent of their income in their retirement plan.
Preparing for the worst
If something unexpected happens, like losing a job, getting a divorce, experiencing a costly health problem or making a poor investment, homeowners should always have a cushion to fall back on. Without a backup plan in mind, people can lose their homes to short-sale or foreclosure, which can be extremely damaging to their finances and credit scores.

Author Visit ~ School Poetry Week
Atalina Wright
I'm writing from my desk, having finished a week-long author visit to a primary school in Eaglescliffe, England. I was there to support the children during their school Poetry Week. Working with each year individually, we explored the potential of poetry as a form of creative writing and expression. We playfully explored the power of words and how their arrangement can create different experiences for the reader. We looked at how poems, in their brevity, can be a simple way to tell stories about our passions and hobbies. And also how they can be used to express our life's experiences and observations. The children went on to write their own poems, some humorous and witty, others beautiful and moving. Later, we created and punctuated a class poem using elements of each child's writing to form a collective piece. This helped to showcase the different styles and tones of writing, and how they could work together.
All the children I worked with (even those who thought poetry was rubbish at the beginning) went on to produce great pieces of writing. The pure creative genius that is bubbling away in the hearts and imaginations of children, never ceases to amaze me. And this is, of course, one of the reasons why I enjoy working with them.

Reliance Jio, which officially launched its services a month ago, has taken the Indian telecom industry by storm. With the launch of its introductory Welcome offer, the company today claims that it has amassed over 16 million subscribers. This makes it the first telecom operator in the entire world to have achieved such milestone in just one month.
The company managed to get such huge number of subscribers in such a small time due to its offering of 4G services, including access to its exclusive apps, and unlimited access to data, voice calls and SMS, and that too for several months.
Commenting on this, Mr. Mukesh D. Ambani, Chairman, Reliance Industries Limited, said,
We are delighted and humbled by the overwhelming response across India to the Jio Welcome Offer. Jio is built to empower every Indian with the power of data. We are delighted that people have recognized this and are utilizing our services to the fullest. We are customer-obsessed and committed to improve every day to exceed expectations of our customers.
While the company has revealed that it has crossed 16 million subscribers mark, it hasn't revealed how many of them were already using the service before the official launch, i.e. 5th September. Although the company has launched its services during its Annual General Meeting, the commercial launch of Reliance Jio is slated for 1st January 2017.
Before the commercial launch, Jio needs to enhance connection points as customers are constantly facing network drops and due to company's disputes with the competition, calls are almost impossible to make. Also, the internet speed has also decrease drastically after the company announced Jio Welcome Offer.
Jio recently also introduced Aadhaar-based paper-less SIM activation across 3,100 cities and towns, through which customers can have a functional card in a matter of minutes. As per the company, it will be extended soon to remaining areas in the coming weeks.
It will be interesting to see how Jio manages to win over the competition after its commercial launch in January 2017. After the soft-launch of Jio last month, many telecom operators have discounted their pricing for data, and are coming up with various offers for 4G data.
