Why Haven't the Packers Run the Football More?
General manager Ted Thompson and the Packers front office made restocking the cupboard at running back a top priority in the draft this past offseason, drafting Jamaal Williams, Aaron Jones and Devante Mays.
Ty Montgomery officially shifted from wide receiver to running back, too. When training camp started, there was the most optimism surrounding the position group since Eddie Lacy's sophomore campaign in 2014.
However, the Packers rushing attack through fourteen games hasn't made much of a statistical improvement in 2017. Green Bay is on pace for 1,723 rushing yards this season, barely more than the ragtag group of running backs in 2016.
If you put the stats aside and watch the games, the running game has been one of the biggest bright spots for this year's Packers. Jones and Williams are the only two rookie running backs with over 400 yards in the NFL this season, and Williams almost single-handedly carried the team to wins while Aaron Rodgers was sidelined.
Why hasn't the running game had more statistical success this season? Let's dig into the numbers and find out.
Rodgers' absence has hurt the running game more than you think
If you're trailing in a game, it's a pretty good bet that you're more likely to pass the ball instead of run it. Because Aaron Rodgers is a great quarterback, the Packers don't trail in a game very often.
Since Rodgers was named the starting quarterback in 2008, the Packers have ran just 36 percent of their plays on offense when trailing.
Let's examine the three seasons where the Packers have struggled the most: 2008 (Rodgers' first season as starter), 2013 (Rodgers' first collarbone injury) and 2017 (Rodgers' second collarbone injury). Green Bay has ran at least 44 percent of their plays while trailing in each of these three seasons:
With Rodgers on the sidelines or during his first season as starter, the Packers have ran an average of 182 more plays when trailing:
Considering an average NFL game features about 60 offensive plays for each team, that's three full games.
Now that we've established the Packers are running more plays when trailing without Rodgers, how likely are the Packers to run the ball when they're losing?
The Packers have trailed for 59 percent of their offensive snaps this season, and that's had a tremendous impact on their rushing game. Even with two games to play, the Packers already have ran more plays when trailing than any other season under head coach Mike McCarthy.
Aaron Rodgers' absence this season has meant the Packers have trailed more often in games, likely costing the running game approximately 50 to 60 carries.
Surprisingly, McCarthy hasn't adjusted his playcalling strategy when trailing as he did in both Rodgers' first year and 2013. In those seasons, the Packers ran the ball 40 percent of the time when losing.
This year, McCarthy has stayed at 36 percent, a single percentage point above his average during Rodgers' tenure.
It's hard to find an explanation for why McCarthy hasn't leaned more on the running game when behind this season. It's not as if he doesn't trust rookie running backs – Eddie Lacy was a rookie in 2013. If anything, McCarthy feels confident in backup Brett Hundley's game to not feel a need to lean more on the running game.
As we'll discover below, the running game's been a burgeoning success this season and deserves more opportunities and praise.
Green Bay's rookies have made the most of their opportunities
Over the season's first three contests, Aaron Jones didn't touch the ball and Jamaal Williams rushed five times for 21 yards. Ty Montgomery was both the primary and secondary running back to start the season as the rookies adjusted to life in the NFL.
One of the advanced stats we provide at The Power Sweep is Run Percentage. The concept is straightforward, as it shows the likelihood a rush will go for 0 or fewer yards, 1-4 yards, 5-9 yards, 10-19 yards, or more than 20 yards.
In 2016, the Packers running game was not especially dynamic. Below-average or average carries (four or fewer yards) accounted for 64 percent of all 2016 rushing attempts. This season, just 59 percent of all rushes have gone for four or fewer yards.
Jones has established himself as a big play running back. In only 78 carries, he's rushed for over 20 yards once every 12 attempts. Even Montgomery's breakout 2016 campaign which featured a slew of memorable long runs can't match that rate.
The impact Jones and his counterpart Williams have had on the running game in their limited opportunities has made a tremendous difference to the Packers offense. As a result, Green Bay enters Saturday night's game against the Vikings as the sixth-best rushing attack on a per carry average.
Rushing yards per play, top 6 NFL teams entering Week 16
When Aaron Rodgers is at full strength next season, it's clear the Packers will have one of the league's best rushing attacks at his disposal.

From Ancient Times, the Church has observed "Rogation Days" that is, the Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday between Rogate Sunday and Ascension Day. These are typically days of fasting and repentance in preparation for our Lord departing from His earthly ministry and entrusting The Gospel and The Sacraments to His Apostles.
A suggestion for a Lutheran approach to fasting during Rogationtide may be found here.
It is appropriate, during any time of fasting and repentance to abstain from lavish entertainment, to devote more time to prayer, and to give alms to the orphans, widows, and foreigners.
The following is the Procession, propers, and Litany for the Days of Rogation as they were observed in the Lutheran Cathedral of Havelberg, ca. 1589, translated by Mr. Matthew Carver
The supplements for Tuesday and Wednesday replace the noted antiphons as well as the end of the Litany.
The following Litany, Prayers, and readings are provided here without pointing for private or family use.
They can be said on all three days and should be led by the head of the household.
The readings are appointed for Divine Service in Rogationtide but they can, of course, be a part of personal devotion apart from the Sacrament of the Altar.
The Great Litany

The 69th Psalm
Save me, | O God!*
For the waters have come up | to my neck.
I sink in deep mire,
where there is no | foothold;*
I have come into deep waters,
and the flood sweeps | over me.
I am weary with my crying out;
my | throat is parched.*
My eyes grow dim
with waiting | for my God.
More in number than the hairs | of my head*
are those who hate me with- | out cause;
mighty are those who would destroy me,
those who attack | me with lies.*
What I did not steal
must I | now restore?
O God, you know my | folly;*
the wrongs I have done are not hid- | den from you.
Let not those who hope in you be put to shame through me,
O Lord | GOD of hosts;*
let not those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me,
O God of | Israel.
For it is for your sake that I have | borne reproach,*
that dishonor has covered | my face.
I have become a stranger to my | brothers,*
an alien to my | mother's sons.
For zeal for your house has con- | sumed me,*
and the reproaches of those who reproach you have fall- | en on me.
When I wept and humbled my soul with | fasting,*
it became | my reproach.
When I made sackcloth my | clothing,*
I became a byword | to them.
I am the talk of those who sit | in the gate,*
and the drunkards make songs a- | bout me.
But as for me, my prayer is to you, | O LORD.*
At an acceptable time, O God,
in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving | faithfulness.
Deliver me from sinking | in the mire;*
let me be delivered from my enemies
and from the deep | waters.
Let not the flood sweep over me,
or the deep swal- | low me up,*
or the pit close its mouth | over me.
Answer me, O LORD, for your steadfast | love is good;*
according to your abundant mercy, | turn to me.
Hide not your face from your servant;
for I am | in distress;*
make haste to | answer me.
Draw near to my soul, re- | deem me;*
ransom me because of my | enemies!
You know my reproach,
and my shame and my dis- | honor;*
my foes are all | known to you.
Reproaches have broken my heart,
so that I am | in despair.*
I looked for pity, but there was none,
and for comforters, but I | found none.
They gave me poi- | son for food,*
and for my thirst they gave me sour | wine to drink.
Let their own table before them be- | come a snare;*
and when they are at peace, let it be- | come a trap.
Let their eyes be darkened, so that they | cannot see,*
and make their loins tremble con- | tinually.
Pour out your indignation up- | on them,*
and let your burning anger over- | take them.
May their camp be a deso- | lation;*
let no one dwell | in their tents.
For they persecute him whom you have | struck down,*
and they recount the pain of those you have | wounded.
Add to them punishment upon | punishment;*
may they have no acquittal | from you.
Let them be blotted out of the book of the | living;*
let them not be enrolled among the | righteous.
But I am afflicted | and in pain;*
let your salvation, O God, set | me on high!
I will praise the name of God | with a song;*
I will magnify him with thanks- | giving.
This will please the LORD more | than an ox*
or a bull with | horns and hoofs.
When the humble see it they | will be glad;*
you who seek God, let your | hearts revive.
For the LORD hears the | needy*
and does not despise his own people who are | prisoners.
Let heaven and earth | praise him,*
the seas and everything that | moves in them.
For God will save Zion
and build up the cities of | Judah,*
and people shall dwell there and pos- | sess it;
the offspring of his servants shall in- | herit it,*
and those who love his name shall | dwell in it.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and will be forever. Amen.
O God, Whose property is always to have mercy and to spare, receive our petition, that we and all Thy servants who are bound by the chain of sin, may, by the compassion of Thy goodness, mercifully be absolved. Hear, we beseech Thee, O Lord, the prayers of Thy supplicants, and pardon the sins of those who confess to Thee, that, in Thy bounty, Thou may grant us both pardon and peace. In Thy clemency, O Lord, show Thy unspeakable mercy to us, that so Thou may both loose us from all our sins and deliver us from the punishments which we deserve for them. O God, who by sin art offended and pleased when a sinners turns unto Thee, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people, who make supplication to Thee, and turn away the scourges of Thine anger, which we deserve for our sins.
O almighty and eternal God, have mercy on Thy servant (N)., our pastor, and direct him according to Thy clemency, in the way of everlasting salvation, that, by Thy grace, he may desire the things that are pleasing to Thee, and perform them with all his strength.
O God, from Whom are all holy desires, righteous counsels, and just works, give to Thy servants that peace which the world cannot give; that, our hearts being disposed to keep Thy commandments, and the fear of enemies taken away, the times, by Thy protection, may be peaceful. Inflame, O Lord, our reins and hearts with the fire of the Holy Spirit; that we may serve Thee with a chaste body, and please Thee with a clean heart.
O God, the Creator and Redeemer of all the faithful, give to the souls of Thy servants departed in the faith Thy perpetual light and peace.
Direct, we beseech Thee, O Lord, our actions by Thy holy inspirations, and carry them on by Thy gracious assistance; that every prayer and work of ours may always begin from Thee, and through Thee be happily ended. Amen.
V. O Lord, hear my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto Thee.
V. May the almighty and merciful Lord graciously hear us.
R. Amen.
V. And may the souls of the faithful departed though the mercy of God, rest in peace.
R. Amen.
The Propers for Rogation Days
The Introit
From His temple He heard my voice. Alle- | luia;*
And my cry to Him reached His ear, Alle- | luia.
I love you, O | Lord, my strength.*
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my de- | liverer.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and will be forever. Amen.
From His temple He heard my voice. Alle- | luia;*
And my cry to Him reached His ear, Alle- | luia.
The Collect of the Day
Grant, we beseech Thee, Almìghty God: that we who in all our troubles and adversities do put our trust and confidence in Thy mercy, may ever be defended by Thy mighty pòwer; through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, oùr Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Hòly Ghost: ever one God, world without end. Amen.
The Epistle
James 5:16-20
Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.
The Holy Gospel
Luke 11:5-13
Alleluia . Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures forever! Alleluia.
And He said to them, "Which of you shall have a friend, and go to him at midnight and say to him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves; for a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set before him'; and he will answer from within and say, 'Do not trouble me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give to you'? I say to you, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as many as he needs.
"So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"

Pakistan Says Indian Aircraft Bomb Its Territory
Maj. Gen Asif Ghafoor, a military spokesman, said the Indian "aircrafts" crossed into the Pakistan-controlled Muzafarabad sector of Kashmir, which is split between the two countries but claimed by each in its entirety.
He said Pakistan scrambled fighters and the Indian jets "released payload in haste," near Balakot, on the edge of Pakistani-ruled Kashmir.
Balakot police chief Saghir Hussain Shah told The Associated Press that he had sent teams to the area, which he described as a mostly deserted wooded area.
"There are no casualties, there are no damages on the ground because of the dropping of the bombs," he said.
Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi condemned the incursion, saying New Delhi "endangered" peace in the region for political gains.
"We are a responsible nation and our forces are capable to defend each every inch of our motherland," he told a local television channel.

Life Series : A Curated Guide
Odd Couple
You can find Odd Couple in the heart of Riversdale district, nestled neatly next to Hardpressed and Collective Coffee in the stunning 220 building. This tight knit group are the true OG's of the Riversdale revitalization - each unique and forward thinking. That closeness doesn't stop here. Odd Couple is very much a family affair. Andy Yuen, along with his lovely wife, Rachel and sweet sweet parents joined forces to carefully create the very best in dining in Saskatoon.
There's a warmth you notice as soon as you walk in the door that surrounds you in every aspect of your dining experience. The space is breathtaking and staff, beyond amazing. The menu is creative, flavourful and absolutely delicious. Odd Couple is perfect for work meetings, lovely for catching up with girlfriends, and a place the whole family can enjoy.
This menu... It'll leave you totally and completely indecisive and wanting it all. It boasts an extensive and amazing selection of the most incredible fare, including seasonal items that'll leave you swooning. We're certain you won't be able to choose just one dish, so, grab your friends, order a selection and share, share, share. We promise you'll be blown away.
I fell in love with this genuine spot immediately and it's been a hands-down favourite ever since. I appreciate and adore their extensive selection of crave-worthy vegan options, while my son opts for their incredible seafood dishes every chance he gets. What makes Odd Couple impressive to me is how they excel at everything on their menu. Their plant-based options are just as incredible as the traditional goods, so regardless of your preference, you'll be completely satisfied.
Odd Couple is a mainstay for all things truly delicious and amazing. They're top choice for lunch with my love, dinner dates and even take away on cold nights. I love visiting in the evening with girlfriends for a signature cocktail and an app (or three) before visiting neighbouring nightlife. When taking my little for lunch, I always give him the choice of anywhere in the city. He chooses Odd Couple every single time. I recently suggested a new spot to try out, but he instantly wrinkled his nose and replied "Nah, Andy can do it better." And it's true, Andy, Rachel and family produce a level of quality that can't be beat.
Joc and I had an opportunity to visit Odd Couple for the most delectable lunch. The Odd Couple family were warm and inviting, as always, and welcomed us to the most ah-mazing selection of menu items. Fresh, vibrant salad, unique and flavourful dishes, light and refreshing drinks - everything was incredible and memorable. I adored every single bite, and just can't get enough of the flavours ….and that perfectly runny yolk!
Here's our personal go-to's to help with your decision making:
Karyn's top picks:
Vegan spring rolls - What dreams are made of - extra crispy with the greatest vegan dipping sauce. To. Die. For.
Tomato tofu curry - I'm day dreaming about this tangy and flavourful tomato curry as I type. It's full on flavour and has the yummiest crispy tofu. Best.
Joc's faves:
Vegan spring rolls…… of course.
Pad Thai - the perfect dish full of yummy veggies and warm rice noodles.
The most fresh and flavourful salads. There's always such a unique twist that keeps me coming back for more.
We've been pacing around January totally lost and waiting on owners' Andy and Rachel to return from their annual month long hiatus. They visit Asia to reconnect with family and friends, and to gather inspiration for their constantly evolving menu. We've been replacing our usual Odd Couple cravings with other things, and to be quite frank, they just don't add up. So we're more than overjoyed to celebrate their return, while we take our hungry selves straight to Odd Couple to refuel with our most crave-worthy faves.
Thank you to the Odd Couple family for extending such a warm and delicious welcome.
Joc & Karyn

INDIANAPOLIS | A Gary couple and a former East Chicago city employee were sentenced to 18 months probation Tuesday on felony vote fraud convictions related to the 2003 mayoral primary.
Sentenced Wednesday were Alycia Mendiola and Antonio Mendiola -- a Gary couple who owned a flower shop in East Chicago -- and Eduardo Perez Sr., a former city worker whose son ran for City Council in 2003.
The Mendiolas pleaded guilty to one count of voting in a precinct where they did not live, while Perez pleaded guilty to one count of fraudulently receiving a ballot.
In the 2003 primary, longtime Democratic Mayor Robert Pastrick emerged the victor in the three-way race. However, the Indiana Supreme Court later tossed the results, citing "overwhelming evidence" of misconduct involving absentee votes.
Indiana Attorney Steve Carter, who attended Tuesday's sentencing hearing in Lake County Superior Court, said he has yet to rule out conspiracy charges in the vote fraud investigation, which so far has brought 45 indictments and five convictions.
"I don't think it's a coincidence that there was this extent of vote fraud -- that it was a historic level," Carter said. "No, I don't think that was by accident, but I'm not prepared to characterize it beyond that."
To date, the allegations have centered on Pastrick, who has not been charged with any crime. Carter would not, however, absolve the challengers -- Lonnie Randolph and current East Chicago Mayor George Pabey.
You have free articles remaining.
"Based upon those that have been charged thus far, I think there's evidence that the fraudulent activity wasn't limited to one campaign," he said.
Pabey won the 2004 special election ordered by the Supreme Court and faces re-election next year.
Carter said he hopes East Chicago citizens will learn from those currently being convicted who "suffered a degree of embarrassment and have brought humiliation to their community. We hope that many people will be aware of that and not allow this to happen again."
All three defendants sentenced Wednesday have cooperated with the investigation, Carter said, declining to elaborate.
As convicted felons, Perez and the Mendiolas are stripped of their rights to vote.
If any of the defendants violate the terms of their sentence, the result could be a state prison sentence.

We're just a week away from Mother's Day! Have you picked out a gift yet? You can't go wrong with flowers, a card, and treating her to breakfast in bed. Or jewelry!
Those are all good choices but you could try something a little more digital, like Google Photos' Mother's Day movie. Whether that special woman in your life gave birth to you, your children, or your grandchildren, she's sure to enjoy this gift.
The Google Photos' Mother's Day movie uses your photos to create a touching video. For this feature to work, you'll need two things: the Google Photos app and lots of pictures of the mother and child you want to be shown in the video.
Psst: If Google Photos is new to you then click here to learn more about this convenient and free photo backup app.
If you don't already have the Google Photos app then getting started will take a while. If you have a lot of photos saved in your phone's library then it will take a long time for the app to sync all of them to Google's servers. The process will eat up some of your battery but it's worth it in the end since all your photos are now backed up.
As the photos sync, the app uses facial recognition to sort photos based on who is in the picture. Ideally, all the photos of your mother will end up in one album. When you use the Mother's Day feature, you will choose this album when it says "Select a mother." For the "Select children" step, choose albums that include photos of you and your siblings.
*If you want to make a movie for the mother of your child, select her as the "mother" and your kids as the "children."
*To make a movie for your daughter, select her as "mother" and your grandchildren as the "children."
Google Photos will take over from there. It will choose the best photos of you and your mom and set those photos to music. You can remove or add photos too. Here's an example of the finished product!
Pretty cute, right? Click here to try it for yourself. If a lot of people use the feature then surely Google Photos will create a version for Father's Day, anniversaries, birthdays, and other special occasions.

"Alabama was shaken by one of the worst tornado outbreaks in our state's history one year ago. Citizens of Alabama were faced with tragedy, homes were shattered, businesses were shut down, and the loss of life was unimaginable . . .
Difficult periods of rebuilding took place as the University of Alabama football team claimed the national football championship for the second time in the past three years. Even when off-field challenges faced the team, the spirit of the team members and its fans helped propel them to claim the BCS National Championship.
Bo Jackson, a former Auburn University football player, is leading a group on a five-day, 300-mile charity bike ride through some of the areas hardest hit by last year's storms. Some of his fellow bike riders will include celebrities such as Lance Armstrong and Cam Newton.
The "unity ride," as Bo calls it, began in Henagar on Tuesday and will finish in Tuscaloosa on Saturday with the main goal of raising $1 million for the governor's Emergency Relief Fund. If you would like to donate to the cause and continue to help your fellow Alabamians, please visit www.bobikesbama.com.
In just one year's time, Alabama's economy has begun to thrive. According to a recent report from the state Department of Commerce, there was a 9.3 percent increase in the number of new jobs announced for the state and an 87.7 percent increase in announced capital investment in 2011.
Also during 2011, 70 new companies announced plans to locate in Alabama, creating 4,879 jobs, and 313 companies already located in Alabama announced expansions, complete with 12,369 jobs.
Alabama's exports also surged to new levels, reaching $17.9 billion — up more than 15 percent over 2010 and a record high for the state.
In short, even in difficult and adverse situations, Alabama's citizens continue to prove they are both strong and charitable. Together, we are getting Alabama back on her feet and facing a brighter tomorrow."

will5 posted a topic in Network/ Internet StuffI have a mac mini at home that when I was running 10.4 on it, along with SquidMan, I could tunnel via SSH from work using Putty, and Proxy my web surfing from work through my Mac Mini. Thus go to sites blocked by work, such as Twitter. Since upgrading to 10.5, this solution no longer works for some reason. I can still SSH into the MacMini with Putty, but I can not proxy from work. I have updated SquidMan and all the settings look right. The proxy works using the browser on the Mac Mini, just not the browser from work. Any ideas of what the problem may be?

From what I can tell its usualy best to paste this sort of thing to the talk page. So the stuff recently added is here. 23:39, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
Counterpoint for criticism based on altruism[edit]
I think there is no counterpoint for the criticism section and there should be:
Critics will also cite the commonly-held belief that just because one does a day's work, that somehow gives them the right to get paid,[25] and that people will always demand compensation when contributing labor or investing any of themselves into the progress of society. The conclusion is that without some form of monetary compensation, people will have no motivation to participate or contribute in society.
I understand that these are the words of critics but since we are evaluating if the idea of venus project is viable or not(theoretically speaking). I believe that two things should be added to counter the above cited. One is Mazlow's hierarchy which is lacking the need for any monetary system, and the other of course is the altruism that can be found all over the world and especially modern internet. I remember a book from Wallace P. (Psychology of the internet) had a chapter about altrusim that maybe could stand as a counterpoint. Micdhack (talk) 06:21, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
- Those sound like very poor counter-statements to me; Mazlow's hierarchy was based on a very small sample size and has been heavily criticized, while communities on the Internet are a very poor parallel to real-world communities. ListenerXTalkerX 06:30, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
- As far as i know there aren't any other hierarchies out there that tried to describe needs. All theories are criticized. The reality is that there some universal needs [1], and probably mazlow's hierarchy especially the first tool levels (food, shelter and security) are more than valid. The need for money is given only in relation to cover those needs(and the rest of them in whatever hierarchy they might be). The hierarchy may vary from location to location and between cultures but i think we can easily say based on evidence and common logic that food, shelter and security will probably be at the top. People have a need for money to cover those needs, if money didn't exist or exchanged for these needs then people would gladly accept the new conditions. I am not saying that this is a proof or an explanation of everything, but i am saying that based on this and actions of altruism that can be found even in real life, that a money-free society would not die out of boredom. Besides the criticism written at that section is based on a "commonly-held belief" which is way less concrete than scientific published work.Micdhack (talk) 07:01, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
For a moment I did not see how this was classified as woo. If anyone was introduced to the Venus Project by looking at the city planning talks by Jacque Fresco, I urge them to take a proper look at the site. There you will see that they do not make a clear division between their asserted, unsubstantiated claims about social planning and Fresco's structural designs. So, unfortunately, the Venus Project has to be classed as woo by virtue of the first aspect. A shame really. It would be very interesting to see if and how a circular city would function.
From forum thread[edit]
In your article about The Venus Project (TVP), it seems that you're trying to make it look like pseudo-science with specific questions like "Given that we have scarce resources, the central planning computer needs to have a way to prioritize between millions of competing desires. How important are cars relative to fridges? How big should these fridges be? How often do they need to be replaced? Should we make more fridges or more fridge factories so we can make even more in the future?"
Well, the answer is rather simple: Of course there would be a limited amount of resources for every individual in the RBE , but after assessing the total number of resources available, the central computer would just have to divide equally those given resources of energy, transportation and appliance design & manufacturing made by robots among the inhabitants in that society, for example on a monthly bases in the form of resource credits similarly to what Marshall Brain was talking about in the Australian Project part of his Manna story. Just to give you an idea, Brain was saying that everybody gets 4000 credits a month (don't know the number exactly), and it's up to individuals to use those resource credits as they wish with a catalog to choose from the available food, clothes, shelter, appliances, and vacations together with their corresponding resource expenditure; a simple fridge would be worth 50 credits (again, I don't know the exact amount but I'm just throwing numbers around), and a super duper fridge would cost 250 credits. — Unsigned, by: JLMfoto / talk / contribs 00:27, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
Given that the venus project resembles marxism, this criticism can be easily refuted. Just as marxism is based on historical determinism, the venus project is generally based on determinism and science. The documentary stresses that all decisions are made based on scientific analysis of people's necessities. Although humans would certainly be involved in the process, it is not humans that make those decisions. For example, scientists makes many conclusions, but none of them is despotic, since scientific truths are independent from human minds. One might argue that human desires are subjective and a judgement on desires is also subjective. This is, however, only true for 'desires', but not for 'needs'. Judging whether soda is delicious enough to produce is subjective, but it is scientific truth that human body needs a certain amount of water to survive. The production in the described society is not about satisfying desires, but necessities. Once all necessities are guaranteed, Fresco argues, old incentives like wealth and power disappear and new incentives like desires for scientific and philosophical truths arise. This is not a new idea; Plato argues in Republic that only philosophers achieve supreme happiness. Also, it is simple misunderstanding that resources are scarce; they are abundant but the monetary system resists efficiency and promotes irrationally rapid spending.
Lastly, I want to stress that any argument concerning future, such as marxism and the venus project, should not be examined solely based on historical evidences; it is extrapolation and thus does not guarantee accuracy. Rather, one should focus on the argument's criticism on history and assumptions. For example, if one finds the following false, the venus project loses its credibility: that the venus project's criticism on the monetary system is not accurate or that its assumption that humans would not be greedy when all necessities is false.— Unsigned, by: Rnjsanwjd / talk / contribs 17:33, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
The Plan[edit]
The new section on the plan may be a bit silly. I was wondering what made them an actual "project" so I looked at their site to see what they were really doing. Then I discovered that their plan involves building a theme park after building a city and thought this information should be on the page.--SpecialFFrog (talk) 14:33, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
The Venus Project is possibly misportrayed[edit]
I'll grab two random parts of the article as a case in point, but most parts share the same issue:
The Venus Project doesn't have an answer to any of these questions. Or even designs for robots to accomplish every mundane task... How important are cars relative to fridges? How big should these fridges be? How often do they need to be replaced? Should we make more fridges or more fridge factories so we can make even more in the future?—
Consider this: It is perfectly OK to criticize someone who claims to have invented faster than light travel, but it is NOT OK to mock someone who came up with the theoretical idea of wormholes onlybecause he has no working machine. He never claimed he has one in the first place. He's just a visionary. He did not mislead. Jaque is the latter type.
If you listen to Jacque Fresco's original interviews (and not the Zeitgest series, which Jacque disliked and stopped cooperating with), you'll see that he acknowledges that the project is incomplete, that the precise details are not known yet, and that the entire project may turn out to be impractical eventually.
I think he is in fact a clever man promoting further research into an idea which he believes in, but he never sells the Venus Project as a "working product" and so it should not be treated as such. It is silly and not really rational to argue things like "Where are the robots?". It's the spreading of the idea that was his point.
Disclaimer: I've researched this project a decade ago, and we are all subject false memories. If I am incorrect about this, I am willing to stand corrected. -- 220.127.116.11 (talk) 23:23, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
- I'd like to add that the domes, the 3d animations, the theme park, were all parts of the plan to *educate*, not to build an actual city. The 3d models are not even prototypes.
"Carrying capacity of the earth" does not equal scarcity[edit]
Scarcity is when resources are too low. One can allocate resources based on how much resources one has so as to efficiently utilize them, even when the resources are not scarce, and/or to prevent future scarcity caused by using resources faster than the replenishment rate. -- 188.8.131.52 (talk) 23:32, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
- Scarcity means finite resource. Shortage would be when resources are too low. At least according to Economics 101. I don't know what context "scarce" is referring to, but maybe it's that? --It's-a me, LeftyGreenMario!(Mod) 00:35, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
- I do not accept that scarce=finite. Please provide a citation. If that were true, then a resource is not scarce so long as it's not infinite, meaning e.g. solar power is scarce. That's clearly not the definition people typically use and not the definition in most dictionaries, no matter what the formal definition at eco 101 says. With a quick search, I couldn't find finite = scarce, but I found these:
- * wiktionary: Uncommon, rare; difficult to find; insufficient to meet a demand. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/scarce
- * dictionary.com: not easy to find or get: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/scarce
- * oxford: Insufficient for the demand. Occurring in small numbers or quantities; rare. https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/scarce — Unsigned, by: 18.104.22.168 / talk / contribs
Inappropriately opinionated section about the disagreement between The Venus Project and Zeitgeist Movement[edit]
The last part of this section, beginning with "In short:" is very problematic, in that an encyclopedia is not supposed to present its own sharp judgements on matters like this, at least not without backing them up with references to named people who have argued in a similar way. What we get here is a definitive judgement on those movements and their leaders from some anonymous (to casual viewers) author. I am not affiliated with any of those movements, but I think this is highly questionable content to appear in an encyclopedia. The one reference in this section is a dead link by the way.
I would suggest deleting this whole section, or completely rewriting it to reference named persons who have made similar judgements, in such a way that it is clear that those are judgements of theirs and not of some anonymous contributor. — Unsigned, by: 126.96.36.199 / talk

Thought experiment is incorrect. (No money paragraph).[edit]
Adding virtual money contradicts main goals of The Venus Project, such as: 1) elimination of property (" Realizing the declaration of the world's resources as being a common heritage of all people ") 2) replacing money-based economy with resource-based economy. 3) reduction of the primary incentive for criminal behavior, such as hacking accounts with virtual money and other ways to get them.

Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and crew are all still adjusting to life under the oppressive new regime of Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and his Saviors on "The Walking Dead," as are its audience. But it seems Rick's son Carl (Chandler Riggs) is in no mood to acquiesce to the wishes of the baseball bat-wielding bully in this new clip from "Go Getters," the upcoming fifth episode of the show's seventh season.
As in the comics, Carl thinks his father's approach to try and give Negan what he wants is wrong, and it seems Michonne (Danai Gurira) is questioning that decision too. She doesn't have a better plan yet, but she's heading out to "figure some things out" on her own.
RELATED: "The Walking Dead" Recap: Negan's Taunts Become Exhausting On Service
In the meantime, she has some advice for her sort-of post-apocalyptically adopted son – "change your bandage and be nice to Olivia," two sentiments I think most viewers will agree with after the inventory keeper's unpleasant encounter with Negan in last week's episode.
Whatever Michonne figures out, the audience has got to be hoping that she does it soon because the new status quo of Savior dominance and Negan's show-boating could easily get as tired as the show's long stay on the Greene family farm in season two if the writers are not careful.

Thanks I already have the information I needed and have been able to proceed.
Thanks but apart from the GDPR issue for UK citizens anywhere in the world, the UK lawyer asked him to send a copy of it and instead of sending a certified letter with the document he took a picture of it with his phone and texted the picture to the UK lawyer and by accident to my son in CA. Any document with personal identifying information should be handled with care, including when sent electronically, but apparently not a problem in the US.
Invasion of Privacy
Tig16 posted a topic in Defamation & IdentityMy ex husband in CA used his cell phone to photograph my years old divorce decree and text it to someone, but he sent it to my son in NV. When my son asked him what this was and why he had sent it to him, my ex husband told him it was a mistake, his lawyer in the UK asked him to photograph it and text it to him. My son was very upset and showed me the text photo and the full decree he received. I am concerned that this private document was exposed when sent over unsecured cell phone text messaging. This was done without my permission and I am concerned about my private documents being texted within the US and internationally. I feel this is a breach of my privacy. Do I have any legal protections regarding this?
Thank you for responding to my question. I have been really worried about the consequences of identity theft about this issue and truly appreciate your responses. I will seek out a local employment law attorney to discuss the matter further.
I applied to a job with a big company I had worked for in the past, through their online career site. In order to submit the application they required my full social security number to be entered in the application. I was conflicted about the security of entering it, but the site stated my application would not be considered without it. I went ahead and submitted on a Thursday evening. I received an email acknowledgement at the email address I provided, which included a full copy of my online application, including my social security number. They apparently did not have code to restrict the ss # from disclosure through unsecured email. This email account was with a well known service provider. By the following Monday, I received and auto reject letter, which was the fastest response I had ever received and I was alarmed in case this was a scam to get my ss#. I wrote to the CEO of the company and explained the breach of security that occurred. The following week I got an email from a talent manager at the company, asking me to contact her and I replied, but got her out of office notice. She did email back and gave me a phone number to call her as she was offsite all week. When I called I got vm stating she was unavailable, so I left a msg and my call back number, but she never called me back. I emailed again and asked that she at least delete my ss# from all their systems immediately. A couple of days later I received a terse email stating she had deleted my information, so I told her I was still waiting for an explanation as to why the ss# was visible in the email attachment. I never heard back from her, so I emailed the CEO and asked if someone could contact me as soon as possible as they didn't seem to be taking this very seriously. A couple of days later I received an email from the Director of talent services, apologizing that his manager had not responded to my concerns timely and asked to set up a call time, which we did. When he called me, I shared my concerns with him about the publishing of my social security number across unsecure email systems, the requirement of a full ss# in the online app, (which was new) and the failure to establish a secure system and code to remove the ss# from the emails. Also that nobody had bothered to talk to me about it and I was left worrying about the exposure. He said he agreed with my views about all of these concerns and then went on to give me an explanation. He stated the company had recently merged and there were so many job applicants who were former employees of different companies now all merged, that they were in a real mess. This is a major corporation and from my previous experience with the company, I new they had outsourced much of recruitment services to a big company. He explained that the servicing company had implemented this new requirement for the ss# in the online job app. so that they could verify who people were. He agreed with my opinion that obtaining the ss# at the beginning of the process was not a security conscious practice and that it was better to wait until a job offer was made. He then told me that I had brought a major security hole in their system and that a lot of people were working on it to try and fix the problem. He said he did not have access to alter the code, but were working on it to prevent the application being emailed back to prospective employees. I was anxious about it, but because he was frank with me, I didn't want to make a fuss. However, I was later notified by my service provider that my email account was one of a large number that were hacked and that my personal information was compromised. I was instructed to change security questions and my passwords, which I did, but I have no idea what, if any of my email has been accessible to the hackers. I believe Nevada does have a "Security of Personal Information" Statute, my question is, do I have any recourse against the company? They receive a lot of job applications, so thousands of people could have been impacted by this. It is rather an untenable position to be in, knowing that at any time someone could steal my identity. Thanks in advance to anyone who has time to respond.

Family Meetings
Creating your Family Meeting
Like a boss…
I have seven kids from ranging from 17 to one year old, one sexy husband, a bunch of chickens, a dog, and two to four cats, depending on the day. My house can feel chaotic. So, what does one do to help manage the chaos AND keep mom's sanity?
Simple: have Family Meetings.
My family is my corporation, and if any corporation wants to be successful they need to meet together so that everyone is on the same page. If your family doesn't have an end goal of what they want the family to look like, then it doesn't matter what you do. However, if you know your destination and have goals, then it is much easier to make choices that will help your family stay on the path you've all chosen.
From the book Smarter Faster Better, by Charles Duhigg, he talks about the key component for a group to work well together is the culture of the group. Do people feel safe to express their ideas, and/or their emotions? Even if your Family Meeting looks like a circus, which mine often does, if everyone is getting an opportunity to share their thoughts and feelings, in a safe environment, then you're setting your family up to be successful.
Starting your Family Meeting
The first couple of Family Meetings will most likely be your longest; at least it was for us. It is where you are going to set all the groundwork and help create the vision of what you're trying to create.
This is where we talked about why we were going to have Family Meetings, what they would look like, and how they would go. This is also where we started to create our Mission Statement for our family.
Creating Your Family Mission Statement
Creating a Mission Statement can be a lot of fun. When we were creating ours we asked our family what they wanted in it. In 5, 10, 15 years, where do they see our family? Having fun? Being great friends? Traveling to exotic countries? Being missionaries? We just got the ball rolling and then we wrote down their ideas.
After, we took all their ideas and offered them the chance to create our Mission Statement. Some families might have a kid who wants to create it; we didn't. So we had my husband write ours, using their ideas, and then we voted on whether we liked it and if it needed any changes.
I'm going to include ours, not because it's the only way to have a Mission Statement, but because sometimes it's helpful to see what other people do, just to give you some ideas. Also, we have talked about shortening ours to simplify it, but as of now this is what we have.
We are a Celestial Family. We believe in charity toward all people. We believe in God our Father, and in His Son Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost. Our lives show that we believe in the Atonement of Christ.
We are frugal with our money, and will save money every time we are paid to prepare for our future.
Aside from our Heavenly Father, our earthly family is the most important thing in our lives. If a family member is in need at any time, we will come running to help, no matter the cost.
We believe in studying and in learning. We will commit our entire lives to commit to learn and be educated, both in school and in private.
We are a healthy family. Our lives will be blessed by a healthy diet and good exercise.
We are a missionary family, and our examples of Christlike love will lead others to the Gospel by simply observing us.
We are a happy family.
We are a family that faces trials with strength, courage, and happiness. Come what may, and love it!
As a family we have put on and wear the Armor of God. We have faith, we read scriptures, we pray, we fast, we are just, and merciful.
We are a fun family.
A friend of ours had their mission statement made into some beautiful art work that hangs on their wall. Ours is taped to the side of the fridge. Super classy.
List of Grievances
This is one of the best parts of family meeting, the List of Grievances. On our fridge we have one of those magnetic shopping lists. During the week if someone has a problem with something, they have the opportunity to write it on the list.
Here is the best part. When your kid runs to you to let you know how their sibling is so mean and terrible, or someone keeps touching their stuff, you simply direct them to the list and have them write it down, or you write it down if they're too small.
I might say something like, "That seems like that is really bothering you. I bet we can find a solution as a family." That way they know they have been heard and they know we will go over it. But, what starts to happen as the weeks progress, usually they realize that a lot of their "problems" aren't really problems. They also start to learn to problem solve on their own.
Some of the grievances that have made their way onto the list are: boys peeing on the toilet, people leaving their messes in the kitchen, people taking other's stuff without asking, and we've even had problems with people eating too much bacon. No joke, bacon has been the biggest problem.
How to run your Family Meeting
Here is a quick run down of how our meeting goes. We rotate weeks of who is in charge. So, whoever is in charge that week picks a song and asks someone to start us off with a prayer.
We then go through every person and ask them if they have any comments or concerns. If they've written stuff on the List of Grievances this would be their chance to bring it up. Then we let the kids try to find a solution. I'll give an example of how a meeting went just recently.
My son goes to the library often and people keep taking his books without asking. He said that he actually doesn't mind them taking the books, but he keeps finding them shoved in places, getting lost, and not being taken care of. Because he is responsible for paying the fine at the library he doesn't want people destroying the books.
The kids were able to express what they thought and they all worked together to find a solution. If they get stuck, sometimes my husband and I will give suggestions. They ended up deciding that if they want to take one of his books that they need to ask him and trade him something of value. When they return the book, he gives their something of value back.
Seriously, it is so cool.
After comments and concerns, we go through our calendar. We have a very full calendar. We have four kids with jobs, different school schedules, band practices, sport practices, birthday parties, and a whole slew of things that could be on there. We go through each day of the week so we make sure we have everything, and to also make sure everyone has a ride to where they need to be.
After that, we go through FEMPSS. It stands for Financial, Emotional, Mental, Physical, Social, and Spiritual. I will do another post on this specifically, because this is where we are setting goals and checking in on how everyone is doing.
And then we end with a cheer. Because we're awesome.
The Biggest Trick To Family Meetings
The best way that I have found to have peaceful family meetings is to add food. My favorite is to have a big meal before or after church on Sunday, and when everyone is sitting with food in their mouth, they are much more willing to sit there quietly for family meeting. I don't know what it is with food, but my monkeys are seriously motivated by it.
Your kids might just sit around and be willing to do it without food, but my little boys usually end up wrestling or throwing a ball back and forth if I don't have something for them to eat. If food doesn't speak to your family, find something that does.
And the last trick is to R-E-L-A-X! If your family is like mine, people are going to fart or burp during the meeting, little boys are going to wrestle, dad is going to check his phone, and that doesn't mean that you have failed or that this will never work. Just relax and be understanding that your meeting will have a few more adventures in it than a corporate meeting.

These are awesome little bites that give me the energy to get through a long day of teaching and add a protein punch for my evening workouts. It doesn't hurt that they are packed with galactagogues!

Thinking about hiring a "tax debt relief" company?
as Most of these articles correctly point out, you may pursue tax debt solutions on your own.
The Maui Tax Counseling website displays links to authoritative information which contains much of what you need to know to represent yourself in the process. Taxpayers can (and do) successfully prepare and file the necessary Forms and other documents necessary for tax debt relief under the IRS Fresh Start Initiative. You are the best judge of your own abilities.
Solving tax issues on your own is not for everybody. Use caution when shopping for professional services in this area. Service providers have different qualifications, education, certifications, and expertise. Ask questions about their credentials and licensing, and what their services cost. CPAs and attorneys appreciate the risks and uncertainties of placing your trust in a professional.
If you can't get straight answers you are comfortable with: keep shopping.
If you can't afford or don't wish to utilize a CPA or attorney, IRS and state tax departments can provide significant information and advice without cost.

Okun's Law and Potential Output
Reserve Bank of Australia Research Discussion Paper No. 2015-14
39 Pages Posted: 11 Dec 2015
Date Written: December 7, 2015
We find that Okun's law provides a simple and accurate means of understanding and predicting changes in the unemployment rate in Australia. Okun's law also implies a rate of output growth consistent with stable unemployment, called the growth of potential output. Our estimates of potential output growth are imprecise and fluctuate over time. A recent estimate is a bit below 3 per cent a year, with a +/− one standard error band covering the range 2¼ to 3¾ per cent. This is a percentage point or two below estimates from before the mid 1990s.

He first made his NFL mark with The Drive.
As a champion, his signature play was The Helicopter.
And now as an up-and-coming football executive, John Elway is close to delivering The Signing. Peyton Manning called John Elway on Monday morning and told him the Broncos are his choice and he wants to start exclusive negotiations with the team, according to an NFL source. It appears Manning is about to become a Bronco. A Broncos quarterback worthy of the standard Elway himself set during his 16-year playing career.
The contract will likely be in the 5-year, $90 million range.
"Something like this is a historic move," said Broncos defensive end Elvis Dumervil. "I don't want to put too much pressure on one guy, but what he's accomplished, if he's healthy, I think he can bring us to one of the dominant organizations."
Arguably the most prized free-agent in NFL history, Manning has agreed to play for the Broncos. Manning ranks third all-time among NFL quarterbacks in touchdown passes, completions and passing yardage even though he missed all of last season because of a neck injury that has required four surgeries.
He is an 11-time Pro Bowler, two-time AFC champion and one-time Super Bowl champion who led Indianapolis to an average record of 12-4 during the 10-year playing period from 2001-10.
Yet, Manning was released two weeks ago by the Colts for three reasons: A $28 million bonus payment that had become due, concerns about his neck at a time when he is about to turn 36, and the opportunity to use the No. 1 draft pick on sensational quarterback prospect Andrew Luck.
Manning visited the Broncos at their Dove Valley headquarters as his first stop in checking out a new team. By this past weekend, he had narrowed his choices to Denver, San Francisco and Tennessee after eliminating Miami and Arizona.
Factors in Manning's decision to select the Broncos were Elway, who was hired to head the team's front office 14 months ago, coach John Fox, Colorado's quality of life for his wife Ashley and infant twins (they turn 1 on March 31), and his friendships with Stokley and Rockies star Todd Helton.
Once Manning officially signs with the Broncos, attention will turn to the fate of incumbent quarterback Tim Tebow. Arguably one of the biggest stories in sports history during a magical 2011 season, Tebow led what had been a horrific Broncos team to six consecutive victories and their first playoff appearance in six years. He then helped beat the heavily favored Pittsburgh Steelers in a first-round playoff game with an 80-yard touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas on the first play of overtime.
Yet, Tebow also ranked 34th in pass percentage in a league in which there are only 32 starting quarterbacks. Elway has long stated that a team cannot win a Super Bowl without having a vaunted passing attack. The last nine Super Bowls have been won by arguably the league's six best quarterbacks: Tom Brady (twice), Ben Roethlisberger (twice), Manning, his younger brother Eli Manning (twice), Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers.
It's possible the Broncos could keep Tebow and use him in goal-line packages. Or the Broncos could conclude there's not a big enough tent to handle the circus of both Tebow and Manning. In that case, the Broncos would attempt to trade Tebow before the late-April draft.
Although Manning wore No. 18 during his 14 seasons with the Colts, it's possible he will take No. 16 with the Broncos. He wore No. 16 during his four-year stay at the University of Tennessee, where he had been a starter since his freshman season whe he replaced an injured Helton.
The Broncos first retired number was 18 in honor of Frank Tripuka, the franchise's first quarterback.

Around the world there is an ever-widening gap between customer service departments that are not willing to change with the times, and those that are. Modern consumers are empowered more than ever before; indeed, with one phone call, or one click of a button, a customer may very well expect that a transaction will be instantly completed, an appointment will be immediately scheduled, or an issue will be promptly resolved.
As senior management, you are most certainly interested in your service levels, and quality of service. One powerful driver that can boost both is a well-integrated VoIP solution. Here are 10 reasons why you should have a serious think about using a business VoIP solution for your customer service department.
A business VoIP solution generally offers reduced costs compared to traditional telecommunications. Since everything is done over the Internet, there is less overhead for hardware, and less costs associated with maintenance.
With an integrated VoIP infrastructure in place, it will be much easier to analyse your agents' performance metrics, and keep your finger on the pulse of the company's customer-facing interactions.
It is apparent that service levels and customer satisfaction are directly related. Therefore, any way to free up your agents from unnecessary interactions can be a huge boost to your organisation's bottom line. As part of a VoIP package, an IVR system can answer customer questions, verify ID, and appropriately channel call volume, all without tying up agents on the floor.
With an integrated VoIP solution, on-premise managers will be able to perform many of the simple, routine administrative tasks that are vital to the smooth operation of a customer service department.
The importance of an effective customer relationship management (CRM) system can hardly be overstated. When a customer calls in, the ability to access his contact information, past purchases, and previous interactions with your company can be invaluable in successfully navigating any issues or concerns that he may have. On the other hand, a CRM system that allows for intuitive note-taking, along with other record-keeping features, can be a great asset for the next agent that may take the customer's call.
Without the burden of a complicated or diffused hardware infrastructure, your IT department, whether in-house or outsourced, will be able to much more effectively troubleshoot any technical issues that arise. Furthermore, many of the mundane maintenance tasks can be more easily performed.
VoIP software is built in a user-friendly approach making it easy to on board new staff and manage user details. As it is so easy to use very little in-depth training to use the platform is required, allowing new staff to learn quickly and get up and running fast.
Along with ongoing training, an integrated business VoIP solution may include prompts or reminders from the base software that will prompt the agent to follow through on up-selling opportunities, or other leads. This can be a simple way to avoid lost revenue from lack of workflow adherence.
With VoIP, if your employee has an Internet connection at home, he is able to log into your system and work. Interestingly, studies have shown that company employees who work at home often are more productive and happier with their work. With this trend towards allowing employees to work remotely in mind, VoIP could be a wonderful opportunity for you to boost your workers' productivity, while at the same time allowing them to meet their personal goals.
A business VoIP solution also has the capability to support additional features that could enhance your call centre's productivity. For example, instead of just making and taking calls, your system may support video conferencing for managers and executives.
As you can see, there are several compelling reasons to consider implementing a business VoIP solution for your customer service department. If you are interested in learning more, please get in touch with us at Windsor Telecom. We'd be happy to provide you with more information.

This bright wind,
that's how it is.
This quick, cold air
yes, that's how it is.
As if that small patch of trees
might grow out of my memories
and fill the world around me,
that's how it is.
Pennsylvania brown, grey-green
thin winter branches
a universe in their arms
that's the way
just like that.
And I would be forever
walking quietly through those woods
mysterious walker through the trees
where no one can hear me
as I am invisible
that's how it is
yes, it's just that way
as the bright wind weaves itself into
grey cloudy forests deep in the afternoon
as that bright grey wind follows me in the forever afternoon
and I find myself searching for this forever afternoon
in that stillness between day and night
In between time
when I practiced walking
quiet and invisible

Windows installs to the SATA disk instead of the NVMe drive during an Operating System Deployment with SCCM.
Systems with a dual drive (or more) configuration, an NVMe drive and either a SATA mechanical disk or SATA SSD will be installed. In some cases, the SATA disk may be enumerated as Disk 0 and the NVMe drive as Disk 1. This can be confirmed by booting to WinPE, executing the DiskPart utility and selecting disk 0 and/or disk 1, followed by the command detail disk. Note the type of disk displayed, which will either be SATA or NVMe.
In a default standard SCCM OSD task sequence, disk 0 will be formatted and partitioned depending on the partition scheme assigned (MBR or GPT).
(Note: As newer hardware is released, the SATA mechanical disks or even SATA SSD disks will be replaced with NVMe disks.)
Ideally, Windows should be installed to the NVMe drive instead of a mechanical SATA disk or SATA SSD.
Consider the following drive configuration:
1x1GB NVMe + 1x512GB NVMe + 1x16GB Optane NVMe (Memory Cache)
There is a possibility that the larger NVMe drive will be detected as disk 0, which Windows will be installed to. Ideally, Windows should be installed to the 512GB NVMe.
As a workaround, the below PowerShell script will identify all physical drives installed and assign the smallest NVMe disk as disk 0 by dynamically setting the OSDDiskIndex action variable. This will prevent Windows installing on any smaller drives designated as memory cache drives.
(Note: Any NVMe drives smaller than 120GB are excluded as well)
# Count DisksWrite-Output "Checking the Drive Count..."$diskCount = (Get-Disk).Number.Countif ($diskCount -eq 1) { Write-Output "Only 1 installed. Move along..." }# If there's more than 1, check for NVMe's.# Only NVMe disks larger than 120GB will be targeted. This should exclude smaller Optane drives.elseif ($diskCount -gt 1) { Write-Output "There's more than 1 disk installed. Check if any NVMe's are installed." $nvmeDsks = (Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\microsoft\windows\storage -Class msft_disk) | ?{$_.BusType -eq 17} | Where-Object {$_.Size -gt 128849018880} $i = $nvmeDsks.Count Write-Output "Found $i NVMe disk(s)" # Identify the smallest disk to install the OS to Write-Output "Determining the smaller disk to assign as disk 0" $osDisk = ($nvmeDsks | Sort-Object -Property Size | Select-Object -First 1).Number Write-Output "Ready to deploy" }if (!($nvmeDsks)) { Write-Output "No NVMe disk found..." } # Initialize SMS TS environment.$TSEnv = New-Object -COMObject Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment # If there's NVMe's installed, set TS variable 'OSDDiskIndex' to the smallest one.if ($nvmeDsks) { $TSEnv.Value("OSDDiskIndex") = $osDisk Write-Output "NVMe should now equal Disk 0 in the TS." }
Save the above code as a .ps1 file and copy to a source location. Create a standard Package in your console, specify source folder containing the .ps1 file. Distribute package to distribution points.
Create or edit an existing task sequence:
An improvement in version 1902 of Configuration Manager Current Branch, you can now directly enter PowerShell code in the Run PowerShell Script step. If you choose this route, simply enter the above code and select Bypass for the execution policy.
Once the system has completed the OSD, you can run the following PowerShell command to confirm Disk 0 now equals the NVMe drive
Get-Disk | %{$_.number,$_.friendlyname}
or open Disk Management.
how can we improve it?
