The 7 Questions Interview Series: Data and Supply Chain Data Integration
The 7 Questions Interview Series: Data and Supply Chain Data Integration "The 7 Question Series" is an investigative content series where we seek out key leaders in a specific industry and/or subject matter expertise area and ask them 7 key questions that "enquiring minds want to know". There is a twist however to these questions. We provide the person being interviewed with a hypothesis for each question. This helps to frame and set context for their answer.
Data and Supply Chain Data Integration Series Objectives:
Data and Supply Chain Data Integration Series Objectives: The objective of this series is to establish direct connections with data experts across the globe and ask them the same set of 7 questions regarding data and data integration in the business. We want to derive insights from their direct experiences and expertise that will help companies, both B2B and B2C at all stages of their evolution. We are also curious to see if their answers are similar or different. These interviews will be featured on this website as a series.
The Interview with Vineet Vashishta, founder of V-Squared Consulting
About Vineet:
Vineet Vashishta is the founder of V-Squared Consulting, The Data Science Company. He has spent the last 20 years in retail/eComm, gaming, hospitality, and finance building the teams, infrastructure and capabilities behind some of the most advanced analytics companies in the US.
The Interview:
Robin Smith: Has the term Big Data been over hyped? There a sense of "Big Data" fatigue, backlash even, that seems to be becoming more prevalent. Is Big Data relevant?
Vineet: Big data is a cosmos of massive ideas: narrow AI, machine learning, data science, predictive and prescriptive analytics, digital marketing and so many others. The people I work with are tired of the 50K foot view that the term "big data" represents. There's a sense that it's time to get to work. It's time to build the amazing systems that we now have the tools to create and the people still talking "big data" aren't a part of that.
Robin Smith: Do you really need data scientists as part of your big data strategy? What are the characteristics required of a data scientist? Does this have implications for our educational systems?
Vineet: How will the business build the capabilities to turn information into insights? That's data strategy in a nutshell and it's the same question smart businesses have been asking themselves since the beginning of business. Insights are a competitive advantage and a key differentiator. Knowledge really is power. A business needs the latest tools and skills to build the right capabilities for their business model. Once they've built a solid data strategy it becomes pretty obvious what personnel and tools they need to implement it.
Our current educational system must change. A high quality secondary education must be accessible to everyone. If we can figure out a way to make a Stanford or MIT level education available to everyone, you won't recognize the world in 10 years.
Robin Smith: Is the relational database, the foundation of the data warehouse in the small data world, still relevant in a big data age?
Vineet: Yes and it will continue to be relevant for a long time to come. I'm a big advocate of a multi-polar model when it comes to data science. A relational DB is the right tool for a lot of jobs. NoSQL is the right tool when the limits of relational data structures become an impediment to performance or functionality. It's not an all or nothing question.
Robin Smith: Given the reputation and organizational risks involved in poorly governed data (privacy, breach, quality), should data governance be a corporate governance imperative? Where should ownership of this risk reside, should company have Chief Data Officers?
Vineet: The Anthem breach. The Sony breach. The Target breach. The flurry of activity from the US government on data privacy and corporate accountability for data security. Europe's hard line stance on data gathering and privacy. This is an ongoing discussion.
Each business needs to look at its brand and make decisions about data governance that align with their core values and public image. Google does that well and backs up their brand with the spending necessary to be the technical gold standard. Target is not a technology company. Their brand still took a huge hit because of their handling of the breach.
Data governance is another term like big data. It covers a lot of ground and is on course to suffer the same fatigue later this year and next as big data is now. As with big data, businesses are ready to get to work building the capabilities to properly gather, secure and manage their data. Companies are looking for results, not another buzzword.
Robin Smith: Is big data only for big companies with deep pockets?
Vineet: Not at all. Startups are one of the largest consumers of data science talent. They're where the action is shifting to in data science. Large companies kicked off the move to advanced analytics by providing the proof of concepts. Now data science is moving from the highly structured business initiatives of big companies to the highly innovative products ideas of startups.
Open source is a major driver of that move. Data science tools like Weka are bringing machine learning tools to the masses. Even Microsoft has jumped in with their Azure ML platform's free tier. Most NoSQL DBs have free versions. Cost isn't a barrier to entry anymore and the skill needed to build apps that take advantage of data science concepts is dropping.
Robin Smith: How has data changed the way business should look at their systems?
Vineet: The real question for a CIO is what's next in technology? Looking at the Internet of Things is like going from a garden hose of data, which is currently a massive challenge to businesses, to a fire hose. Narrow AI will be in every business application in the next 2 to 5 years. Quantum computing is coming in the next 5 to 10 years. There is no framework for an IT organization to handle change at this pace.
We're building that framework now and the hybrid cloud is going to be a big part of that framework. NoSQL will be another huge piece of the puzzle. Security paradigms will change completely over the next 2 or 3 years. More and more experts are sounding the alarm that progress is moving from a linear model to an exponential one. A lot of us are working on models to help CIOs and the infrastructure they manage to adapt.
Robin Smith: Data ownership and value has become the latest discussion point in the data hype cycle. Has the accounting and legal paradigm changed enough for data to be defined as an asset on the balance sheet and has ownership been clearly delineated from a legal perspective?
Vineet: There's precedence for putting data on the balance sheet as an asset. Customer lists are considered an asset in many markets. Casino gaming companies are a good example of this practice. There's a very small casino in Nevada that shows their customer list as worth $5 million. The first time a Facebook or health care company lists data on their balance sheet with a multi-billion dollar figure next to it people are going to start paying attention. I know a few companies who have discussed doing this as soon as FY 2016. This has already moved from a theoretical discussion to a plan of action.

About Me
:)I am usually quite a chatterbox, but can't for the life of me think what to say about myself right now.
I am a Christian and have been for many years. I am so thankful that God does not give up on us! I (we)have been through some deep waters, but they did not overcome me, I (we) have had to walk through the fire, but I have not been burned - why? Because God is faithful and true to His Word. I regret many wasted years, but I rejoice in the Lord and His leading in my life. I am a Realtor by profession (although I have taken off the past year just to re-charge! I am married to a wonderful man who is my soulmate and best friend. He too is saved and I thank God for him everyday. Together we have dedicated the rest of our lives to God's service, in whichever way He leads.

I got my graduation degree on 2015. My last days at college were awesome; I felt a lot of emotions at a same time like departing from friends, missing my college days and the fun at being in college, excited about my future and worried about my future planning. I got my offer letter at the end of April during my eight semester exam. I joined the company on May. I had started my journey with lots of enthusiasm and questions in my mind. I was one of few lucky fellows who got their friends as their room-mates. I was stunned to see the campus; the buildings were too large that my eyes couldn't reach. The surroundings were too clean that you can't find a drop of dust and our extra facility rooms that looked like five-star hotel rooms.
I had never been away from my home before but I had to spend five months in that campus away from my family. The first thing I learned there is to control my emotions over small matters. That gave impact to my personality and helped me to be a strong person. During our exam times I had to work hard to avoid the fear of termination. First time I realized, during my school and college days I invested money to read hard but I didn't try hard, while during my training time I was paid money to study and I gave my hundred percent to studies. That made me learn another thing, without hard work you can't achieve your goal. That had impact on me to be a better person and taught me the importance of money in one's life.
I traveled to Coorg with my friends. On our way we headed to an adventure park. Personally I'm not a big fan of adventures, but that day my friends forced me to try skydiving. After so many refusals I finally gave up and tried that. It felt so amazing to fly like a bird. That moment I learned to live each and every moment of your life without caring much about future and face your fears to overcome it instead of running away. Every day is not a happy one; some are sad, some are painful, some are stressful and some are boring. I joined my posting location and got my project after the waiting for about one n half months. During that time I learned to become patience. And after getting my project I had learned to balance both my professional life as well as my personal life. I resumed my blogging after joining the office.
Small incidents taught me great things and had impact highly on my lifestyle. The year 2015 helped me to become mature enough to handle any kind of situations. Now I'm looking forward to 2016 to see what it will impact on my lifestyle.
Thanks for stopping by... Share your thoughts before leaving...

Fall into Your Library with Movies, Evening Storytime and WonderWorks!
It's hard to belief, but with the end of August drawing near, it's already time to begin planning for Fall programs at the Boscobel library. Beginning in October 21st, we'll be kicking off our regular pre-k Fall storytime series every Wed morning at 10 am. New this year in response to working parents' requests, we'll also be offering a Monday evening storytime, beginning at 6:30 PM. There is no cost to attend these program and all families are invited to attend.
In addition to October storytimes for preschooler, the library will also be offering "Wonderworks"program, a new 4 week series of play dates focused on giving children aged 3-4 the opportunity to play games and participate in fun activities that (without looking like homework) reinforce fundamental science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills in an entertaining and no pressure environment. Students in the US tend to score lower in STEM skills than students in other parts of the world. By starting early in a way that encourages exploration and curiosity about how things work, children begin to think for themselves, engaging learning as a joyful process that can be repeated over and over.
For adults, the coming of shorter days and colder weather mean its showtime at the Boscobel library! Our winter movie series will begin October 24th at 6:30 PM with Clint Eastwood's baseball movie, Trouble with the Curve. For more information about any library programs, please call 375-5723, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com,
or stop by to speak with one of our friendly staff members.

text: I saw a clip of Maryland Lt. Governor Michael Steele unloading on the Washington Post over at Hot Air. I found it so funny that I sent him $25. It's an excellent sign of returning balance when real contenders for high political office can lay out a case with such precision and explicitness. I suppose this just proves Deep Black's view.

Coming Xbox One Deal to Include the Ultimate Accessory
Electronics retailer Best Buy isn't handing out extra free games to entice users into buying Microsoft's Xbox One entertainment console there instead of somewhere else. Instead, the retailer is making it incredibly easy for shoppers to earn their achievements and get their Xbox fix anywhere with a free Nokia Lumia 635 smartphone included in a coming Xbox One deal.
An ad breakdown for Best Buy at enthusiast website CheapAssGamer indicates that next week anyone who purchases an Xbox One will get a free Nokia Lumia 635. Though the site hasn't posted scans of the add itself, its shared accurate information about coming sales and Xbox One deals in the past.
Buying an Xbox One and getting a Lumia 635 for free is a pretty decent deal. First there's the Xbox One itself. When it launched back in 2013 there was only a single bundle that cost $499. It included a Kinect 2 sensor, but didn't have any actual games bundled with it. Last year, Microsoft introduced a cheaper Xbox One bundle at $399 that didn't include a Kinect 2 sensor at all.
This Xbox One deal includes that Kinect-less Xbox One and a digital download code for Halo: The Master Chief Collection. The Master Chief Collection is a giant remake of all the Halo games to ever feature series protagonist John 117. It launched last fall and still costs $59.99 on its own. Really, users are getting four separate games in high-definition for free. What's more, Microsoft plans to add a fourth game, Halo 3: ODST, to that roster of titles at some point in the near future.
Unfortunately, since those posting about the Xbox One deal didn't upload a photo or picture it's a bit unclear how much users are saving on the cost of the Lumia 635. It's about the only Windows Phone close to carrier ubiquity in the United States. Microsoft's retail website lists the Lumia 635 for T-Mobile without a contract for $79.99. Beside it is the same Lumia 635, but in black and unlocked for $129. AT&T's Lumia 635 without a contract costs just $49. Sprint's version is $179.99.
GottaBeMobile reviewed the Lumia 635 last year and found it to be a pretty cable smartphone for users who don't want to sign a contract or just don't need a lot of the extras that top-of-the-line devices like the iPhone require.
Read: Lumia 635 Review
There's a quad-core processor inside the Lumia 635 along with 512MB of RAM. Users can store pictures, music and video in the internal 8GB stash of storage or on an external microSD card that slides into the back of the device when you left off its colored shells. The display measures about 4.5-inches, making it fine for video watching, but not spectacular due to its 842 x 480 resolution. There are no physical buttons on the Lumia 635's front-face. Instead, it uses on-screen buttons like most Android devices. The Lumia 635 doesn't have a front-facing camera for taking self-portraits. That being said, there is a 5 megapixel rear-facing camera. Sadly, it's not great for low-light picture taking because it lacks flash.
We'll have to wait until the deal goes live on Sunday, March 29th before we can say with some certainty which Lumia 635 users are getting free of charge. The Lumia 635 runs Windows Phone and uses the same Microsoft Account as the Xbox One. With SmartGlass, users get access to their Xbox Live profile anywhere that their smartphone has an internet connection. Games downloaded from the Windows Store earn users achievements. Pictures taken with the Lumia 635's camera can autosync with the OneDrive app available on the Xbox One itself.

5 Reasons Richard Sherman Is Better Than You
I love Richard Sherman, and you probably either agree wholeheartedly or disagree violently. Like Hillary Clinton, Lena Dunham, and virtually any other woman who has ever expressed an opinion outside the confines of a well-hidden diary, Sherman is a polarizing figure.
It's a given that if you're a Seattle Seahawks fan, you kiss a picture of #25 before you go to bed every night. If you root for another team in the NFC West (or really, any other NFC team) — yeah, you're probably less enthusiastic.
As for me, I'm a Bengals fan, and the only high-stakes game they'd ever play against the Seahawks would be the Super Bowl … which means I probably don't have much to worry about. So, with no rivalry concerns, I'm free to appreciate Sherman for his incredible athleticism and skill, as well as the fact that he's one of the few NFL superstars with a genuine, discernible, non-bland personality.
I'm not saying you have to like the guy, too. (This is America! Let's celebrate our different opinions — even yours, which are objectively wrong!) But I do feel compelled to point out that, love him or hate him, Richard Sherman is better than you.
Trust me when I say the ways are myriad, but these five are a good jumping-off point for further reflection.
1. Your hands are terrible.
Seriously, it's like you're walking around with cinderblocks on the ends of your goddamn arms. You couldn't even catch feelings if you were a kicky divorcée of semi-advanced age in a Nancy Meyers movie.
2. You have never once annoyed Tom Brady.
"U Mad Bro?" was my first introduction to Richard Sherman, and I immediately became a huge fan of his work. Listen — Tom Brady is a wealthy, attractive star quarterback with multiple Super Bowl rings and a Brazilian supermodel wife. As such, anyone who makes Tom Brady feel a negative emotion is an American hero. Continue reading

6 Reasons I Don't Feel Sorry for Polar Bears
There are some people in this world who feel bad for polar bears. That's fine. I occasionally catch myself feeling bad for Tim Tebow, so far be it from me to police anyone else's sympathetic leanings.
But then there are some other people in this world who expect ME to feel bad about polar bears. They show me photos of polar bears floating away into the ocean on tiny, globally warmed, pencil-eraser-sized icebergs. They show me this photo as though it is a depiction of a kitten stuck in a tree, or an infant plopped carelessly atop the hood of a moving Camaro, or an indigenous culture crushed under the heel of the White Man's boot. As though it were something to feel bad about it.
Listen: I don't feel sorry for polar bears. Guess what? Tyrannosaurus Rex is fucking extinct, and I don't feel sorry for him, either. So good luck getting me to shed any tears over a giant predator that's feeling a little peckish.

Voters are all smiles, courtesy EC
The strictness adopted by the Election Commission (EC) has brought smiles on the faces of the poor voters, particularly the Dalits.india Updated: Apr 22, 2007 20:52 IST
The strictness adopted by the Election Commission (EC) has brought smiles on the faces of the poor voters, particularly the Dalits. This was evident when 65-year-old Bala and his family members decided to cast their votes on Monday without fear.
Bala and his family members, residents of Akohia village, had their names on the voters' list a long back. But they had hardly had any chance to cast their votes, as the musclemen belonging to different political parties used to terrorise them and prevent them from going to polling booths.
In 1996, they dared to reach the polling booth at Ramkot, but just as they reached there, they had come to know that their votes were already cast. Their complaints about it fell on deaf ears.
Similar is the case of Ram Kali and her family members, residents of Aurangabad village in Misrikh constituency. The members of this family could not even dare to visit the polling booth. Now, they think that they will be able to cast their votes without any fear.
Similarly, Dulare, a resident of Makhuapur in Khairabad, is happy with the Election Commission's strict security arrangements. Earlier, Dalit families could not cast their votes.
However, the people belonging to upper caste, have not issued any instruction to Dalits to cast their votes in favour of any political party. On the contrary, the upper caste people requested them to cast their votes fearlessly.
Likewise, Santosh, a resident of Prevajal village and Ram Manohar of Khanipur, were happy as they don't have to vote as per the diktats of the musclemen belonging to the upper caste. They said it was because of the presence of central forces that the upper caste people could not send their musclemen to terrorise the Dalit voters.

Odometer now reads a little under 1500 miles.1. Would you change the oil now or wait until the specified 7500 miles? We will be heading out again for 3-4 months in a week or so.2. Has anyone replaced the factory oil drain plug with one of the Fumoto valves? Looks interesting as it might be a way of controlling the draining rate to make for a cleaner driveway!

Balance is the key to personal and professional success.
Knowing your goals and the path to achieve them is essential.
Being successful takes practice and dedication.
"Integrity rolls up honestly, completeness, consistency, and commitment into one powerful word."
-- Karl W. Palachuk
"How desperately difficult it is to be honest with oneself. It is much easier to be honest with other people."
-- Edward F. Benson
"This above all:
To thine own self be true,
And it must follow,
as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be
false to any man."
-- Shakespeare, Hamlet 1.3
"It takes relaxation--and focus--to create and understand the balance in our lives."
-- Karl W. Palachuk
Relax, Focus, Succeed was written for me… well… for anyone "like" me who's ever had more to do or fires to put out than hands to pull out your own hair with. And since we've all been there at some point; this book will speak to you. Karl's book reveals an escape from the 'powering thorough' that we do every day to get through a multitude of life without ever really 'living'.
Relax, Focus, Succeed takes the reader down to the core of what makes us who we are and walks us through figuring out what we really want in life, how to maintain our center and create a well-balanced, happy, successful life. Karl is motivational and inspiring.

I had the pleasure of attending a presentation by Karl Palachuk and found myself taking notes. His philosophy is that we need to slow down, take care of ourselves, and reprioritize our lives. I am guilty of being a workaholic and never feel like I'm accomplishing as much in a day as I should. But this is the first time I have ever given myself permission to take care of myself first--not to mention to enjoy my family and friends more.
And Karl was right, the work isn't going anywhere and the world won't stop spinning if I let it sit for awhile. This book is a true inspiration! I now schedule workouts into my schedule every day--something I never considered before. But I realized that I will be more productive in the long run if I'm taking care of myself. This is GREAT STUFF!

Karl has outdone himself in this book. I started reading this at a stop light and had to pull over and finish two chapters before halting my day and going home to finish the book. There are many practical and meaningful applications that are just helpful. I was pushing the limits of bad health and very bad overwork habits. This book has helped me tremendously. This book ranks with the quality of the E-myth.
You will pick this book up and have a hard time putting it down!

Wow. The book has been doing well. I certainly appreciate everyone's support.
There are a few changes going on around here.
The biggest change is the addition of the RFS Blog. You'll find it at www.RFSblog.com. In case you're new to blogs, here's the scoop. With a blog I can post articles and ideas when they come to me, rather than saving it all up for the newsletter.
Blog entries will be in reverse chronological order.
As a general rule, longer articles will be in the monthly newsletter and at www.relaxfocussucceed.com. Shorter thoughts and ideas, and truly miscellaneous stuff, will be on the blog.
Blogs also have something normal web sites don't have: instant feedback. If you like or dislike something I say, you can post a comment. I might respond, or someone else might. Or not. But at least you can post your perspective.
Check out the blog and let me know what you think.
This month we look at Integrity -- the king of all values.
I welcome your feedback. Thank you, as always.
Integrity may be the king of all values.
I was talking to someone the other day who mentioned that integrity was one of his core values. It got me brain-storming about the word integrity. What does it mean to have integrity as a core value?
As I talk to people about values, I find that most people list "honesty and integrity" as one of their core values. At some level, we all honor the concept of integrity. We certainly expect it in others. Most of us have integrity. But what does it mean?
A quick brain-storm about the word integrity comes up with a variety of angles:
Standing up for what you believe
Fulfilling your commitments
Doing what you say you're going to do
Acting according to the principles you say you espouse
Being who you say you are
Being "internally consistent"
Keeping together in one piece (whole / intact)
- Uncorrupted, unpolluted
- Being the same person in different situations
- Being the same person in the different roles you play in life
Sometimes used as a synonym for honesty
- Personal Integrity
- Professional Integrity
- Artistic Integrity
Integrity is a much fuller, more meaningful word than mere honesty. Integrity rolls up honestly, completeness, consistency, and commitment into one powerful word.
Some people might say that they have integrity because they haven't changed. They'll say "I am the same person I was five and ten years ago." But that's not integrity. That's lack of change.
Consistency over time is much more than lack of change. Consistency -- the kind we mean when we say integrity -- has more to do with being rooted in the same core values. It means you don't have different personalities and different "stories" when you talk to different people.
Change happens.
People change all the time. It's not possible to be the same person you were five or ten years ago. If you didn't change in ten years, then you didn't grow. If you don't change, you don't learn new things; you don't get new friends; you don't evolve.
Change is not an option. You will change. And not just in superficial ways. After all, you will change the way you view the world and how you handle various situations.
That doesn't mean you can't have integrity.
Fulfilling one's commitments becomes difficult as the world, your life situation, and you personally change over time. You are a different person than you were 3, 5, or 10 years ago. You are a different person than you will be 3, 5, or 10 years from now.
If integrity is merely a name we give to our desire for internal consistency, then it's not really a moral activity. If integrity is merely consistency, it's still a great tool for reducing stress and internal conflict, but it's not a moral activity.
Not all values have a moral flavor to them. But integrity does. When people value integrity, they don't mean mere consistency. When they value integrity, people mean that they value honesty in every aspect of their lives, consistency between their spoken morals and their daily actions, and commitment to fulfilling their commitments.
Integrity certainly doesn't mean that you never make a change.
But the changes you make create a greater consistency in your daily life. They reflect a re-evaluation of moral activity and a realignment with higher principles.
As I review the Relax Focus Succeed® articles and book, I think perhaps the whole undertaking could be wrapped in an understanding of how integrity and consistency reduce stress.
Hmmmm . . . I'll have to think about that.
That's it for this issue.
Please pass this newsletter on to a friend. But please pass is along in its entirety. Thank you.

I welcome your feedback.
This is one of the best books I have ever read, I have many on business motivation as well as many for your personal life and these seem to contradict each other. Karl shows you how to create the necessary balance in your life. I did not realize how much unnecessary stress I was causing myself until Karl pointed it out, this made an immediate impact in my life in all three areas Personal, Family and Business. I highly recommend this book especially for anyone trying to run their own business.

The most important thing Karl's book did for me was to remind me of how important it is to relax in order to be successful. Too often we get so busy that we forget to take time to relax in order to focus our minds and thereby succeed. Karl's exercises throughout the book are very practical.

I love the way Karl's book makes powerful and grounded statements. He is motivational, informative and hits the nail on the head. I recommend his book highly and I recommend it to my clients who are working toward more balance and relaxation in their lives.

I will be rereading this book constantly until I get every habit fully ingrained in my head. I am off to buy a notebook for my "quite time".
Thank you Karl!

I have read, and re-read this book from cover to cover. Its a fantastic book.
This book shows you how to do as the title says Relax, Focus and Succeed.
Brilliant book . . . highly recommended.

Tunnel of Thoughts: Random Encounters vs Unexpected Events
Random encounters are an idea that appear in most RPGs, and they have fallen in and out of favour of time. Different systems have given them different levels of importance and GMs have run them a thousand different ways on top of that.
Recently, there's been some wide-ranging discussion of them on Twitter that is well worth a read. It's set us thinking and we decided it was worth sharing as we gear up for releasing our first adventure module.
Nice followup to discussions about random encounters earlier this week. https://t.co/ISEpGcLGLT
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) July 14, 2017
Typically random encounters are basically large tables with groups of monsters in, and little extra detail. They're grouped by terrain type, or difficulty, or both. Beyond that, they're pretty plain. They're also essentially only combat encounters. There's nothing built into the table that leads to roleplaying, and nothing that makes the encounter meaningful in your narrative any more than picking a random page in the Book of Beasts, Bogles and Bogeymen your system uses and fighting whatever is on it. There's nothing that creates any kind of interest beyond simple combat mechanics unless you add it yourself. They're not even designed to be generative of ideas.
This is a shame, because there is a need for unexpected encounters in RPGs. Note unexpected, not random. As your players traverse the world, they may well bump into things, and there should be a need to always be prepared for what could happen. They may get ambushed by bandits or wander into a band of goblin hunters, or a disgruntled owlbear, and so on. These things are unexpected. In a game that has the luxury of a GM to control and enrich it, using that person to roll on a table and dump 1D6 skeletons onto the table because they rolled a 37 on the dungeon table isn't making your game live up to its potential, or even close. That's the problem with random.
The word encounter is also limiting for our game world. The players might also find a wagon that has got stuck in the mud, some farmers arguing over the boundaries of their land, or a hunter's camp in the woods where an old hunter has died in his sleep. These things don't really fall into the traditional way encounters are represented, but they're all unexpected things that players might come across. That's the problem with encounters.
For a lot of experienced DMs and players, this isn't a problem. Good GMs are used to adding some flavour to encounters, and good players will often be finding it even when the GM isn't putting it there. This is a collaborative endeavour after all. Being used to departing from what is in the book, owning a lot more books to take stuff from and being comfortable improvising some or even all elements of your game make a huge difference.
That said, RPGs as a hobby are bigger than ever, and set to grow even more. Hopefully, they'll continue to grow and develop. A part of that has to be helping new players get into the game and develop the skills more experienced players have, we should be giving them the tools to create more interesting encounters at short notice.
So, rather than random encounters, let's go with calling them unexpected events. This broadens them in scope and immediately gives them more purpose than simply being random mini combats. What else do they need to do in order to really raise your game whether old hand or first time GM.
Develop your setting
Whether your game is set in a canon world belonging your ruleset, a 3rd party campaign setting, or a eclectic homebrew concoction, developing and deepening the themes of your setting is key. Simply rolling on a forest table doesn't account for anything about the world you are in. There should be at least one unique thing about your setting, and your unexpected events are a chance to do that. If your world has a long history, your unexpected events should be littered with abandoned buildings, archaeological excavations, arcane mysteries and so on. If your world is rich and full of nature, there need to be seriously menacing, intelligent wolf packs vying for territory, and the players should be truly fearful of that.
Have risk and reward
Most things presented in random encounters are just straight up combat that is unlikely to challenge the players, it's a minor diversion with a small XP reward that gets in the way of whatever the group actually want to be doing. If the only bearing they have on subsequent events is that the PCs have slightly more XP and slightly less HP, it's not really building a narrative. Imagine watching the Wizard of Oz, but Dorothy doesn't pick anyone up along the way, that's what random encounters can far too easily produce.
Creating some real risk and reward means hooking whatever unexpected events you plan or roll having a consequence for later in the session or adventure. As a reward, this can mean finding a clue or piece of information, an item with a connection to an NPC. Risk can come from being delayed and allowing the plot to advance outside the PC's control, losing equipment, being chased, or suffering real harm. Even the illusion of risk is enough.
Offer opportunities to roleplay
Being ambushed by a group of bandits presents a classic random encounter. To create an opportunity for roleplay, some moral ambiguity can be introduced. Let's say the players come across a caravan being ambushed by the bandits instead. Nothing too original or difficult. If the players try and rescue them, a hostage situation occurs where there may be innocent deaths if the players get it wrong. If they're not murderhobos, this is a more meaningful encounter immediately. Another option can be to give the bandits a back story. Have them appear injured and starving. As soon as the combat turns against them, they stop and plead with the players because they are just humble farmers whose crops have failed.
Remain simple to run and implement
Adding these elements can create more complexity. It can create delays where GM tries to connect something from a random roll table to their broader campaign. It can also bog things down in every single thing needing to be meaningful. Sometimes the players should bump into a pissed-off grizzly bear, or a band of orcs who seem a bit lost.
Going forward, these things will be shaping our games, and shaping how we handle some elements of our upcoming adventure module. Next week, keep an eye out for a more concrete set of ideas, where we'll be releasing ten unexpected events for traversing forest terrain. If you've got more ideas for how you think unexpected events can be used in your game, come join us on Twitter or like our Facebook page.

I am so beyond excited today.
My birthday is in 7 days & I'm going to get to make something delicious
for my birthday I'm going to convince my husband to cook with me.. (which is one of my most favorite thing by the way.)
Stay tuned for the hilarious updates on that.
My beautiful mother-in-law bought me an ice-cream maker.
I'm going to make double chocolate cookie dough ice-cream.
Exciting isn't it?
I want seafood. Good seafood.
Phillip doesn't eat seafood... and he married me?? I know, right?
I'm thinking some asian inspired food. Some of my very favorite.
So far on the menu is that ice-cream... yum.
Coconut-shrimp with sweet chili sauce,
Hopefully some spicy tuna rolls to accompany it.
Possibly fried rice, or fried noodles as a side.
& I CANNOT forget bread so maybe those chinese steamed rolls that've been stuck in the back of my mind lately. Who knows?
and now I have to figure out something to go with for my picky husband.
Suggestions are welcome.

Renters' Forum
How to Kick Out the Deadbeat in the Spare Bedroom
Q: At what point does a houseguest become a "lodger" requiring official eviction procedures to remove him? I rent a house from my landlord and have extra space, so I decided to rent a spare bedroom to a man because he was in a difficult situation.
I feel slighted, as I have opened my home to this person on what was clearly to be a temporary basis, but now he refuses to pay rent. There is no lease or written agreement. How can I throw him out now that he refuses to leave? Can I simply change the locks while the guest is gone? Once permission is revoked, at what point is he trespassing?
A: James McKinley, a lawyer for landlords, replies:
Your houseguest is not a lodger. A lodger is defined as anyone who rents a room in a dwelling unit occupied by the owner, if the owner retains a right of access to all areas of the unit occupied by the lodger and has overall control of the unit.
If you were the owner of the house, then a lodger's tenancy could be terminated by written notice. Upon expiration of the notice period provided in the notice of termination, any right of the lodger to remain in the dwelling unit or any part thereof is terminated by law. Also, the homeowner may have police assist in removing the lodger without formal eviction procedures.
However, because you are renting the home, your guest cannot be considered a lodger. Generally, the question of whether an occupant is a tenant (aka roommate) or a mere guest is a mixed question of law and fact, based on factors that include who has direct control over the premises, who is responsible for cleaning and maintaining the premises, who has keys to the premises, whether rent is paid and length of occupancy.
If your houseguest has been living with you for more than 30 days, he would probably be considered a tenant, and the tenancy could be terminated only by proper written notice. If your houseguest does not vacate within the notice period, you would have to commence formal eviction procedures.
If your houseguest has been an occupant for fewer than 30 days, you do not necessarily have the right to use self-help procedures such as changing the locks to throw him out. In many jurisdictions, innkeepers have the right to use self-help methods to evict hotel guests who have occupied a unit fewer than 30 days, but landlords typically do not have the same statutory protection. Your guest may later claim that he had an oral agreement with you and try to make you responsible for damages for an unlawful eviction.
To protect yourself, you should give your houseguest written notice of termination of tenancy and go through the formal eviction process if he does not vacate in the prescribed time.
We leased office space two years ago. We live in a desert. The air conditioner has not worked well and has been expensive to maintain. We recently were told by a heating and cooling expert that the dual heat-air unit is obsolete, as it is more than 15 years old. The landlord wants us to replace it. Our contract says that we will "maintain it," but our position is that it is no longer "maintainable." Nowhere in the contract does it say that we will replace the system. Can he make us pay for it if it is now obsolete?
Robert Griswold, a property manager, replies:
I would say that you have a good argument, that the landlord needs to invest in the new equipment and that you would then be responsible for the ongoing maintenance contract. The problem will come when there are no longer parts available or the equipment might even be illegal (based on the refrigerant) and have to be replaced. Your landlord is being unreasonable. You may want to have a lawyer send a letter to the landlord indicating that you think the landlord is in breach of the lease if he or she doesn't replace the equipment. A new unit will also be more energy efficient, which will help you if you pay for utilities.
This column on issues confronting tenants and landlords is written by property manager Robert Griswold and San Diego lawyers Steven R. Kellman, director of the Tenants Legal Center, and James McKinley, member of the Moffitt & Associates law firm, which represents landlords.

Hotel Ganesh Himal
In the past, after very hard work for many years, my father was able to buy a small piece of land in Chhetrapati on which he build a small home for his family. Chhetrapati is just outside Thamel, the main tourist area in Kathmandu with lot's of little shops, restaurants and bars. Now, many years later, our family has slowly been able to transform that small house into a modern and cozy hotel with 30 rooms.

Hi All,
I have created an mobile app which is meant to be running on devices 24/7, using phone-gap to build.
Data is always moving throughout the app, and updates need to be constantly shown on the device.
The issue has arisen, when after 24 hours (give or take), the application suddenly closes and an Android error is shown that the app was unresponsive.
My first thought was that there might be a memory leak and that the application was force closed by the device itself..
What do you think might be causing the issue?
Thanks and Regards,
If you attach your device to a computer and capture the logs when the app crashes it would be very useful in debugging your problem.
I will try this, thanks
I would lay odds on some sort of memory pressure situation, either from a leak, or from something else you're doing in the app that eventually consumes too much memory for Android's liking.
You might want to try attaching a Chrome remote debug inspector to your device while testing as well and periodically profile your memory use.

So, a little over a year ago, my fabulous roomie/partner in craft built me this beautiful website. She did a wonderful job on it, and didn't charge me a nickel (what a sweetie!) And while having the website has been a huge asset to my business, a year has gone by, and it still looks exactly the same. And it will continue to look the same, until I scrape together the $900 to take a Dreamweaver class and actually have the know-how to update it!
I went on the site the other day and realized that it's just not representative of what Sprout Jewelry has become. I needed a new site to represent the more experimental direction that my jewelry is heading in. So I built a new website (ok I cheated, and used templates!) And I vow to keep it updated. Now go look at it, and then come back here and tell me what you think!!!
By the way, my roomie, Bonnie, is a freelance web designer for hire, and you should definitely check out her work. As for her crafty side, well, those totally fantastic dish towels above are her design...and she makes really kick ass tee shirts, too!!

What is the Seychelle Water Filter Pitcher?

Featuring breakthrough technology, most notably, Ionic Adsorption Micro Filtration, Seychelle is the educated alternative for people who demand the best water purification available. Seychelle's unique Ionic Adsorption Micron Filters are the most laboratory and field-tested of their kind in the world using EPA/ANSI protocols and tested to NSF Standards 42 and 53 by Broward Testing Laboratory.
Seychelle's mechanical filtration is superior in the removal of what is referred to as the "A, C, D and R" of water contamination:
- Aesthetic – unpleasant taste and odors, cloudiness, silt, sediment, chlorine and chlorine by products.
- Chemical – including toxic chemicals (VOCs), THMs (Trihalomethanes), PCBs (Polychlorinated Biphenyls) Agricultural Soc's (Synthetic Organic Compounds)and PCEs, detergents, and pesticides and DTT.
- Dissolved solids – including toxic metals such as aluminum, asbestos, fluoride, cadmium, chromium 6, copper, lead, arsenic and mercury.
- Radiological – Radon 222, radium, uranium, and cesium 137. (Radiological filter only)
It's made from BPA-free plastic and features a no-slip-grip handle. The one gallon capacity is generous but fits easily into any refrigerator. It's far more economical than bottled water and it works great at home or anywhere.

2 farmers commit suicide in Bolangir, Sambalpur; Minister seeks report
Bhubaneswar/ Bolangir/ Sambalpur: While the State is grappling with a possible-drought situation two farmer suicides have been reported in Bolangir and Sambalpur districts.
In Patnagarh sub-division of Bolangir district, one farmer Bhakta Dharua allegedly committed suicide unable to bear the debt burden. According to his wife, in the year 2000, Dharua took a loan of Rs 17,000 at 11% interest and bought a water pump. However, unable to repay the loan in the stipulated time he was served a notice by the bank. Moreover, due to lack of rainfall in the current season he lost majority of his crop in his 4-acre land which he was cultivating on a sharing basis.
On account of this, he was under severe mental stress which drove Dharua to hang himself from a tree, informed family sources. After receiving reports, Police arrived at the spot and have seized his dead body.
In another such incident, farmer allegedly committed suicide over crop loss in Sambalpur today. According to sources, the deceased has been identified as the Sanatan Mirdha belonging to Jharjhari under Jujumara police limits.
The family members of the deceased have alleged that unable to cope up with the stress due to crop loss Mirdha took away his life.
Meanwhile, Agriculture minister, Pradeep Maharathy has expressed grief over the reports. Moreover, Maharathy has also sought report from district administration and agricultural officials.
State BJP president KV Singhdeo, who met family members of the deceased farmer in Patnagarh earlier in the day, said, "The State government should immediately declare drought in these areas and waive off loans of the affected people."
Similarly, Congress MLA Tara Prasad Bahinipati said, "Farmers' suicide is not new in the state. The government is yet to provide any assistance in the drought-hit areas."
Further, he stated, in Jeypore, farmers have not yet got money after selling paddy at the market yards.
"The chief minister has no moral rights to be in the power," Bahinipati added.

The market didn't like Facebook's
Despite the chatter that the social-networking website is fading in popularity, having a whopping 955 million monthly active users is a 29% increase over the past year. And despite concerns about mobile and monetization in general, revenue growth at a 32% clip shows that the company is making more money per user.
There's no denying that the company hit the market with lofty expectations. You won't find too many debutantes going public with market caps north of $100 billion. However, the stock has given back so much of that amount, and the fundamentals continue to improve.
Facebook isn't bad or broken. It just tends to be as misunderstood as an "It's Complicated" relationship status.
Briefly in the news
And now let's take a quick look at some of the other stories that shaped our week.
narrowly missed Wall Street's quarterly targets, but the provider of super-sized cinematic experiences did close out the quarter with a growing backlog of theaters to install. In other words, more larger-than-life screens are coming to a multiplex near you. (NYSE: IMAX)
Sirius XM Radio
is retiring $186 million worth of debt. We can probably all afford to lose a few pounds. (Nasdaq: SIRI)
posted disappointing quarterly results and issued uninspiring guidance for the balance of the year. Redbox is still growing, but the future of DVD rentals isn't that bright. (Nasdaq: CSTR)
- Finally, Apple
missed Wall Street profit targets for the second time over the past year. That rarely happened when Steve Jobs was around, but it doesn't mean CEO Tim Cook is on the hot seat. (Nasdaq: AAPL)

oh sew wonderful

K. really wanted a chef's outfit, too. After I made two for my friends children, I thought it was time to make her one. I thought it would be lovely if she could choose her fabric...big mistake. You might not see it on the picture but the pink is neon pink. This outfit could glow in the dark. But I have to admit, she toned it down a bit with the choice of dark purple. C. loves it and even though I am biased... she looks awfully cute in it...especially the two bottom teeth, she is so proud of them.

Throughout his career, J. Fred Woell taught at numerous universities, craft schools and workshops around the country in Art Metals and Assemblage. He had a huge impact on students establishing their careers. The Program in Artisanry, Boston University, and SUNY New Paltz were two of the last universities where he taught.
"He was a teacher of rare generosity; never holding back and always ready to help but, perhaps more importantly, he carefully and patiently tried to get his students to understand what he was doing rather than mimic what he made.... it's one of the aspects of Fred's teaching abilities that set him apart … Fred's demos were legendary – always meticulously prepared and usually prefaced by "this probably isn't going to work…." but they always did work - beautifully. Some of his best teaching was simply by his own example. Things like tackling the unglamorous jobs around the studio, jobs that needed to be done and that he never felt above doing, or doggedly making art when it seemed no one was noticing – and to keep on working because the art, not the recognition, was most important. In the end, I know that my life was changed for the better for having known Fred." - Claire Sanford, former student, Haystack Lifetime Trustee.
