Last week, I had the wonderful opportunity to speak to an Organizational Behavior class at Cal State University, Northridge (CSUN). My former colleague, Debbie Glick, is the professor and she gave me a fantastic introduction – I hope I lived up to it. There were about 25 students in the class, MBA students, and we had a good dialogue.
Here are the key points from my talk. These all come from my experience as an executive of a Fortune 100 company during the past eight years.
General Communication:
§ Listen as much as talk "seek first to understand, then be understood" – Steven Covey. If you listen to others who are speaking during a meeting and then incorporate what they've just said into your comments, you engage other and also establish your credibility.
§ Watch body language – you can learn a lot about whether people understand what you're saying or how they are reacting to what you are saying. If you see they look puzzled, stop and ask what you can clarify for them. If they look like they disagree with you on a point, stop and ask what they think about it. Being responsive to their visual cues will create a positive environment where interchange can occur.
§ Adjust tempo, volume, energy levels – you don't want to put people to sleep, nor do you want to overpower them. Take care to adjust to the situation and people in the meeting.
§ Speak with calm confidence – do this especially when the topic is difficult or contentious.
§ See communication as a dialogue, not a monologue – this is one of my key success factors. If you want buy-in, there should be a dialogue!
Top 10:
- Executives are humans like you – they have insecurities and worries; they want to feel good about themselves and the company
- Understand interests and motives – this is key for successful negotiations. Are they fighting a turf war? Do they want more visibility? Do they really need a success? Are they positioning for a promotion? Do they want success for the company? Their division? How do they measure success? Short term? What are their values?
By thinking about the answers to these questions, you will be better prepared to position your ideas so they address at least a few of your audience's interests and motives.
- Understand the audience and the venue:
Status meeting – keep it interesting
Strategic/business plan – focus on the highest priorities
Problem solving – clearly articulate the problem
Negotiation – create a bigger pie
Selling an idea – use your passion and enthusiasm, but make sure you can articulate the benefits clearly
Presentations – keep it relevant and short
- Know when to meet one-on-one – Don't argue with an exec in front of his team or peers. When selling ideas, it's OK to bring one other person, but don't bring a posse. Know when to have an expert on hand – when you aren't the expert.
- Brevity – Powerpoint should be 15 pages or less (write speaker's notes for yourself), a Word document should be 3 pages or less. Use bullets, but no more than 5 per page and they should be short phrases, not whole sentences. Put detail in the appendices (keep them separate) and have them ready for reference.
- Clarity – keep sentences short, organize your thoughts and your information. Include headings and footers with page numbers (you wouldn't believe how many presentations and reports I recieved without these…). Ensure you have correct grammar and spelling.
- Present alternatives when you are proposing a solution. I once had a manager propose a program for compliance with a $12 million price tag. I told her to come back with 2 to 3 options with different budgets. Executives know there are trade-offs and want to have an intelligent discussion about them. Never go in with just one way to do something.
- Anticipate and ask questions – put yourself in the executives' shoes and consider their worries. What would be the most important thing about this project or proposal to them? Clarify and expand your understanding by asking them questions and by making points by using statements like, "you may be wondering about…."
- Know the details – bring lots of backup material, just in case. I always had two or three pages of notes for my own use to make sure I made the points I wanted to make and could answer questions. Sometimes I would bring an expert or have them sitting by the phone, just in case.
- Be honest -Don't cover up bad news. A very large portion of projects (over 60%) fail due to people suppressing the truth about project issues. Don't bring a problem without some possible solutions – show you've thought about it. Also, give an executive a "heads-up" when there's an issue so they aren't blind-sided. You don't want them to hear about it through someone else!
One more word about honesty. By admitting mistakes and failure without blaming anyone else, you demonstrate accountability. I have had to admit to some pretty expensive mistakes in my career as a CTO (technology failures cost a lot). Executives respect you more when you take accountability for mistakes and then provide the vision and leadership for a way out of the issue.

Letlive. guitarist Jean Nascimento has left the band after eight years according to a post on his Instagram page.
"Hello everyone! Hope everyone reading this is doing very well. I should have posted this a little while ago, but here it is for those who don't know. I am/will no longer be a member of the musical act know as letlive. Thank you to all the fans, soulpunx and friends that have made the past, 8years of this journey . I've also had the privilege to tour with some amazing bands and artists. It's been a great journey. Thank you all, very much!! #afewofmanypasses #thankyou," Nascimento wrote.
At the moment, the band has not released any news regarding Nascimento's replacement. Timing could not have come at a worse time as the band begins a tour with Taking Back Sunday and the Menzingers next week. The band is also planning on recording an album, set to be released later this year.
While changing band members is no foreign thing to letlive. the band has maintained at least some model of consistency since 2009, when Nascimento and fellow guitarist Jeff Sahyoun joined the band, only needing to replace their drummer in the process. The only founding band member who is still in letlive. is vocalist Jason Aalon Butler.
With the lineup finally solidified, letlive. took the scene by storm, releasing "Fake History" in 2010, their first album in five years. A year later, the band signed with Epitath and released "The Blackest Beautiful" in 2013.

Removing Credit Inquiries In An Effective And Efficient Way – Know It All Here
Since we want you to be aware of credit inquiries and the cons about this particular thing, we will be providing you below remove inquiries fast video that will educate you on how to do things right and legal. Yet, we will not proceed immediately on tackling about removing credit inquiries as we see the need for you to first know and understand what credit inquiries are and several things that surrounds it.
Speaking of credit inquiries, one thing that we want you to know about it is that they pertain to a record of any entities who may have viewed the credit reports intended for you and also, when was the viewing done. It is the job of the credit reporting companies to monitor the inquiries made by various entities on particular credit reports and according to the mandate released by the federal government, they are asked to keep a precise and detailed record of every inquiries they monitored for twenty four months. With regards to credit inquiries, you should know as well that there are two types of them which are the soft inquiries (inquires that do not hurt the credit score of a person) and the hard inquiries (inquiries that causes damage to it).
In other words, when we say soft inquiries, we are actually referring to credit inquiries that are released through a court order or probably, from a request coming from an authorized sources who wants to grab hold a copy of the credit report that you have. In the contrary, hard inquiries are the type of credit inquiries that are mostly done by entities who have acceptable reasons on viewing your credit history like a prospective lender whom you are applying for either a loan, a financial assistance or a credit.
However, lenders are not molded the same hence, you have to be keen about those lenders who will push through in reviewing your credit report even though they do not have a reason for it and even if you have not given them permission to do so. In order for you to protect the points on your credit score from being taken away from you, we will present here in this article some fast inquiry removal schemes that will help you with your cause.
What you should do first is to send them a letter that contains a request for them to show you proofs that you granted them access of your credit report. Once they cannot give you the proof you asked them for, you must ask them to send a letter stating the their inquiry was made erroneously and if they cannot do this, you may sue them for violating the FCRA.

It was yet another perfect day at O.co Coliseum, in stark contrast to last season where it seemed like it rained at every game. I've been taking advantage of the great light by going up into the stands and making portraits of crazy Raiders fans and then when the game starts, sitting on plays until they break into the light.
I made this picture of Raiders head coach Hue Jackson during pre-game, but I wouldn't be surprised if it runs somewhere to illustrate Jackson's frustration with his team's atrocious play against the Chiefs.
New signee Carson Palmer was in uniform, but took no snaps in practice, and was not expected to play.
But after starte Kyle Boller continued his awful play from last week, Palmer relieved him in the third quarter:
Possibly the highlight of Palmer's day (and mine) was drawing a pass interference play:
The rest of the Raiders passing day looked like this...
...and this:
Matt Cassel had a just-good-enough day for the Chiefs, and benefitted from a bunch of penalties and an injury to Raiders linebacker Rolando McClain.
Michael Bush got the bulk of the Raiders carries, and went for 99 yards total...
...but couldn't get the last yard to avoid a shutout:
I spent more time than usual shooing punts because I wanted to play with the light a little bit. On this one, I got Shane Lechler punting, the ball in the air, and Chiefs linebacker Demorrio Williams ripping Chinedum Ndukwe's helmet off:
As time wound down, Palmer and receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey studied the playbook, something they will be doing a lot over the next few weeks as Palmer races to get in step with his new teammates:

Feb. 26, 2014 – High school students received a taste of the blue and gold life on Fort Valley State University's campus this weekend at the Winter Open House on Saturday, Feb. 15. More than 116 attendees interacted with FVSU administrators, faculty, staff and students, and learned about the univeristy's degree programs.
FVSU academic areas shared in-depth information about undergraduate and graduate programs. Information about financial aid and campus life programs were also presented. The university's Rose City Alumni Chapter (led by Dr. Charlene B. Hampton), and the Augusta Alumni Chapter (led by Kenneth Ivey) brought busloads of high school students to their alma mater to familiarize them with the scholarly offerings at FVSU.
"Plans are underway for additional alumni chapters across the state to bring students to the March 22 event," said Sha-Ron E. Jones, director of recruitment and admissions. "The anticipated turn out for spring's open house will be greater as students begin to narrow their choices for fall 2014 attendance."

Hospitality and retail workers' Sunday pay packets will remain thinner than they were used to after the Federal Court backed the Fair Work Commission's decision to slash penalty rates.
Unions went to the court in a bid to overturn the decision but were left disappointed on Wednesday when the full bench found no error in the commission's decision.
United Voice's national secretary Jo-anne Schofield says the verdict is a blow to workers but could not yet say whether the union would look at avenues for appeal, but vowed to continue their campaign.
."What it shows quite clearly is that our system is out of whack," she told reporters in Melbourne.
But the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry urged unions to accept the umpire's decision.
The chamber estimates the commission's decision affects about 220,000 workers in retail, pharmacy, hospitality and fast food.
The Australian Retailers Association welcomed the decision and said it was time for organisations trying to overturn the penalty rate cut to accept the umpire's call.
Sunday penalty rates in the retail and pharmacy sector were cut from July 1 from 200 per cent to 150 per cent for fulltime workers and to 175 per cent for casuals.
Hospitality rates are down from 175 per cent to 150.
The United Voice and Shop Distributive and Allied Employees Association unions, who launched the case, relied on seven grounds to argue there were errors in the commission's determinations.
But Justice Mordy Bromberg said the full bench of the court found no jurisdictional error in the way the commission went about its task.
Justice Bromberg said although the decision to cut rates was unquestionably important to a large number of people, the court's role was limited to finding errors in law, rather than discussing the merits of the determinations.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten was disappointed by the verdict, and again pledged to restore penalty rates in the first 100 days of a federal Labor government.
"Malcolm Turnbull's support for cuts to penalty rates shows how out of touch he is with the lives of middle and working class people," he said.
But the prime minister said he respected the decision of the court, noting the commission had considered the issue over a long period of time.
"These are the same unions that have been trading away their members' penalty rates for years, but nonetheless they took it to the Federal Court and the decision of Fair Work Australia was upheld," Mr Turnbull told reporters in Sydney.

There are times when it makes sense for a program to deliberately throw an exception. This is the case when the program discovers some sort of exceptional or error condition, but there is no reasonable way to handle the error at the point where the problem is discovered. The program can throw an exception in the hope that some other part of the program will catch and handle the exception. This can be done with a throw statement. The syntax of the throw statement is:
throw exception-object ;
The exception-object must be an object belonging to one of the subclasses of Throwable. Usually, it will in fact belong to one of the subclasses of Exception. In most cases, it will be a newly constructed object created with the new operator. For example:
throw new ArithmeticException("Division by zero");
The parameter in the constructor becomes the error message in the exception object; if e refers to the object, the error message can be retrieved by calling e.getMessage(). (You might find this example a bit odd, because you might expect the system itself to throw an ArithmeticException when an attempt is made to divide by zero. So why should a programmer bother to throw the exception? Recall that if the numbers that are being divided are of type int, then division by zero will indeed throw an ArithmeticException. However, no arithmetic operations with floating-point numbers will ever produce an exception. Instead, the special value Double.NaN is used to represent the result of an illegal operation. In some situations, you might prefer to throw an ArithmeticException when a real number is divided by zero.)
An exception can be thrown either by the system or by a throw statement. The exception is processed in exactly the same way in either case. Suppose that the exception is thrown inside a try statement. If that try statement has a catch clause that handles that type of exception, then the computer jumps to the catch clause and executes it. The exception has been handled. After handling the exception, the computer executes the finally clause of the try statement, if there is one. It then continues normally with the rest of the program, which follows the try statement. If the exception is not immediately caught and handled, the processing of the exception will continue.
When an exception is thrown during the execution of a subroutine and the exception is not handled in the same subroutine, then that subroutine is terminated (after the execution of any pending finally clauses). Then the routine that called that subroutine gets a chance to handle the exception. That is, if the subroutine was called inside a try statement that has an appropriate catch clause, then that catch clause will be executed and the program will continue on normally from there. Again, if the second routine does not handle the exception, then it also is terminated and the routine that called it (if any) gets the next shot at the exception. The exception will crash the program only if it passes up through the entire chain of subroutine calls without being handled. (In fact, even this is not quite true: In a multi-threaded program, only the thread in which the exception occurred is terminated.)
A subroutine that might generate an exception can announce this fact by adding a clause "throws exception-class-name" to the header of the routine. For example:
/** * Returns the larger of the two roots of the quadratic equation * A*x*x + B*x + C = 0, provided it has any roots. If A == 0 or * if the discriminant, B*B - 4*A*C, is negative, then an exception * of type IllegalArgumentException is thrown. */ static public double root( double A, double B, double C ) throws IllegalArgumentException { if (A == 0) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("A can't be zero."); } else { double disc = B*B - 4*A*C; if (disc < 0) throw new IllegalArgumentException("Discriminant < zero."); return (-B + Math.sqrt(disc)) / (2*A); } }
The computation in this subroutine has the preconditions that A != 0 and B*B-4*A*C >= 0. The subroutine throws an exception of type IllegalArgumentException when either of these preconditions is violated. When an illegal condition is found in a subroutine, throwing an exception is often a reasonable response. If the program that called the subroutine knows some good way to handle the error, it can catch the exception. If not, the program will crash — and the programmer will know that the program needs to be fixed.
A throws clause in a subroutine heading can declare several different types of exception, separated by commas. For example:
void processArray(int[] A) throws NullPointerException,ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException { ...

By Alan Stretton
Sydney, Australia
This commentary updates an earlier program/project classification model by the author, and discusses a recent project typology by Lehmann, and how it relates to that model.
A while ago I published a series of four articles in this journal on categorising projects and programs (Stretton 2014f,g,h,i). In particular, I distinguished between types of projects on the one hand (e.g. R&D, IT), and application sectors for projects on the other (e.g. infrastructure, education), and developed a matrix showing representative examples of each, to illustrate how various project types intersected with the many possible application areas, as follows.
The main reason for developing this matrix was that most listings of project types at the time were a mixture of project types and application sectors. However, the real world situation is that most project types are undertaken in most application areas. So, one way of describing a project is to nominate both its type, and the application sector it is being applied in – e.g. an ICT project in the Production Facilities sector.
In Stretton 2014i I added a third dimension to Figure 1, which was intended to cover categorisations based in degree of complexity and/or uncertainty relating to each program/project.
I first incorporated the four dimensions of the NTCP model of Shenhar & Dvir 2007, namely:
- project Novelty (e.g. market uncertainty),
- Technological uncertainty,
- project scope Complexity, and
- project Pace.
I then added further complexity/uncertainty dimensions to this model, which I labelled:
- Geographic complexity,
- Risk-related complexity,
- Organization complexity,
- Resources complexity, and
- Other
The latter were relatively superficial "catch-all" dimensions, as I had not at that stage looked into the nature of project complexity in any depth.
Subsequently, I have looked at sources of project complexity in more detail, as discussed in Stretton 2017b in this journal. Contributions from eight sources were discussed, and broadly aligned against each other, including the contribution from Prieto 2015, who nominated some 66 sources of complexity on giga-programs. I then proposed the following broad groupings to cover all these contributions.

A prince never lacks legitimate reasons to break his promise. –Niccolo Machiavelli
A year ago, my credit card statement was getting a little high. In a fit of self-anger, I immediately cut my card into tiny little pieces. Gone. A few months down the road, and there were some financial issues I needed to deal with. I called up my company, reported the card lost and got a new one. Soon I was spending a little here, a little there, and yesterday I looked at my card statement. Needless to say, my card is lying in tiny pieces.
I don't get it. I promised myself this wouldn't happen. I was so sincere that I'd keep my spending under control. So why couldn't I keep that promise? At any given moment, we can have the most honest intentions that lead to real promises. Change a few circumstances, let time pass, and those intentions can sometimes be forgotten.
In another situation, I'm stuck. There are some promises I want to believe, despite a clear history against it. But when it really boils down, I think it's the intentions that have me fooled. These promises are made with the best intentions. But things just seem to keep changing, and the follow-through can be easier said than done.
Did you ever wonder if the person in the puddle is real, and you're just a reflection of him? –Calvin and Hobbes
Growing up, I looked forward to a lot of exciting things. Christmas meant Santa Clause and presents, Easter meant the Easter bunny and an egg hunt. Even losing a tooth was exciting, as I'd look foward to a visit from the tooth fairy.
Eventually, my big sister was kind enough to inform me that these were all creations of my parents. A whole new reality set in and I looked at things a little differently.
Every day we go through life assuming, accepting and believing things based on experiences and what we're told. I guess we have to in order to live. But it's obvious that reality is different for everyone, and can be altered at any time. I wonder how the world felt when they learned it wasn't flat? How else will we alter our realities?

Ladies and gentlemen, Cindy Crawford...
Wow, Hats of to Cindy Crawford for this real photo. Without photoshop. This is amazing for women world over pic.twitter.com/a5OZN8kLZh"— aparna jain (@aparna_jain) February 16, 2015
Forty-eight years old, completely un-retouched and looking absolutely bloody fantastic.
The supermodel is winning plaudits from all quarters for the daring shot which is a million miles away from the usual photoshopped-beyond-recognition images which normally grace popular culture.
SEE ALSO: 8 Surprisingly Down-To-Earth Wellness Tips From Cindy Crawford
Crawford revealed the inspiration behind the image was actually her daughter.
She said: "I try to be a good role model for my daughter in terms of just accepting myself, not saying 'Does this make me look fat?' or 'I can't eat that' or 'I'm on a diet.' I just try to lead by example.
"If we go out for ice cream I'm not going to not have any, I'm just going to have the baby-size cone. I don't want her to think that taking care of yourself means depriving yourself and not having fun."
The reaction to the photo was overwhelmingly positive...

The EFF stormed the H&M store in Sandton on Saturday and wrecked it, damaging stock and fixtures as they rampaged through the store. The mob vandalism prompted H&M to close all their stores, and caused massive uproar in the Twitter "discourse" on racism in South Africa.

Opinions were split; with one side partisan to the EFF, and others condemning their actions and calling for the party to be evaluated.
Here are some of the comments about the EFF protests at H&M:
January 13, 2018
Does the stance against racism mean violence? How different will you be if you repay evil with evil? https://t.co/Ahu7jP7cof— Mmusi Maimane (@MmusiMaimane) January 13, 2018
Destroying the H&M store proved absolutely nothing and made no impact on anything— 🌻 (@JAYVERSACE) January 13, 2018
The best thing for H&M is just to close down permanently all their stores in SA and just leave.— Vusi Pikoli (@VusiPikoli) January 14, 2018
Should we accept racism for the sake of jobs? Plus once whites are chased blacks will be able to develop.— Pourou Opoukou (@pourou_opoukou) January 15, 2018
A line has to be drawn on racism!— Vusi Pikoli (@VusiPikoli) January 14, 2018
Dignity is an unlimited right in our Constitution.If we never acted before does not mean meek submission.We want jobs that do not strip us of our dignity.Enough is enough!
Fake-deep radicals occupy clothing stores and traumatize Black staff while land remains unoccupied. Outrage over a hoody while living under gross colonialism.— Wanelisa Xaba (@blak_terrorist) January 13, 2018
Bravo @FloydShivambu
This arrogance of telling people who suffer racism how to respond to racism has to stop!— Vusi Pikoli (@VusiPikoli) January 14, 2018
We will never apologize for "fighting against any usage of the color of our skin as a means" of our oppression, exclusion, humiliation and denigration. #EFFProtest against H&M is not only the implementation of a historic duty; it is absolutely justified!— IG: @MbuyiseniNdlozi (@MbuyiseniNdlozi) January 13, 2018
How is the vandalizing of H&M Menlyn meant to mitigate or eradicate racism globally?— Thoko Liz Nchabeleng (@Lizzie_Leah) January 13, 2018
If they should close their doors for good, what happens to the staff that works there?
Will the EFF provide empowerment? Is this progressive in a stagnant or slow growing economy? #EFFProtest
Racists insults us by getting an innocent black child to wear a shirt declaring that he is a monkey! We condemn those protesting this insult telling them to be more peaceful and send petitions! History repeats itself. When land was taken we sent petitions to the Queen for years!— Zwelinzima Vavi (@Zwelinzima1) January 13, 2018
You don't tell us how to deal with our black battles period. We need the next racist organisation. The EFF will uproot racism in this country, you'll learn this year. #EFFprotest— GospelAccordingToEFF (@EFFexplained) January 13, 2018
Time to be shown how monkey behave.
White people trash a black child and white people come with excuses as to why it's justifiable. Black people trash a store and white people suddenly find it unacceptable. #EFF #HM #EFFprotest— Wesley Fester (@FesterWesley) January 14, 2018
YOUR VIEW: Was the EFF's method of protest against H&M for its 'coolest monkey' advert correct in your opinion? Why or why not?— HuffPost SouthAfrica (@HuffPostSA) January 15, 2018


text: Trust is such an important component of any healthy relationship, but especially romantic ones because trust is the basis of it. Everything builds off of the trust you and your partner have for one another. Trust in a relationship is like a safety net, you feel confident that the other person will be there for you, you can rely on them, confide in them, and you know that they would never do anything to purposely hurt you. That is why it's so important not to destroy that trust because sometimes you can't repair it and other times people try but it's not an easy or quick process. You don't regain trust overnight and sometimes it's never like it once was because now its fragile and uncertain…the safety net isn't there anymore.

Pound Rebounds on Brexit Speech and Improving Economy
By Kamen Parushev - Research Analyst
Since the British Pound lost approx. 17% in 2016, it became the worst performing major currency in the world. The slip continued in the beginning of 2017 as the pound reached its lowest point against the US dollar on 16th Jan when the British currency depreciated to $1.207 (US). On the following day, however, the GBP rebounded sharply (2.65%), reaching $1.239. The rise of the sterling was driven by the speech of the U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May as she pledged to deliver a smooth and orderly Brexit. U.K.'s improving economy and rising inflation are also boosting the expectations for higher interest rates and currency stabilization.
Following the Brexit referendum yield on developed economies sovereign debt fell to unprecedented levels. In the end of June a two-year British government bond yield even fell into negative territory for the first time in history as Bank of England governor Mark Carney's suggested further stimulus for the economy can be expected over the summer. Benchmark 10-year government bond yield fell to a low of 0.124% pa on Aug 9 but has been mostly recovering since then, reaching 0.62% pa at the end of last week.

By Dawn Christodoulou, President, XLDent
As a dental software development and services company, XLDent has seen more private dental practice owners expand to two or more locations in the past nine months than we have in the past nine years. This emerging trend is exciting to say the least! It means our small business community is overcoming the challenges of over-regulation and rising costs. They are seeing opportunity in consolidation of business systems and expansion of service offerings. They are taking control back! Our private practice owners are doing what all small business owners do. They provide needed services, employ people in their communities, and work to grow their businesses.
The Vehicle in Your Expansion Plans
As with all expansions, there is a lot to think about. This article is intended to highlight the importance of information technology (IT) in a multi-location growth strategy. It's often over-simplified by the belief that what is working for the current location will work for a small enterprise. It very well may work, but will it give you the records consolidation, performance and continuity that you need to be efficient and productive? Will the software and infrastructure you are using be the headache or energizer in your trek to grow your business? Your IT solution needs to be the vehicle in your expansion equation that gives you and your team flight, not the boat anchor that brings you down.
Consider How to Manage Your Database
If you are considering the purchase of a second (or third, or more) location, also consider how you want to manage your EDR and business systems – your databases. Consider whether or not patients will travel between locations. If this is a likelihood, a single patient database will be necessary if you want to maintain a single dental chart for each patient. It is also an important consideration if you intend to consolidate patient billing and insurance functions. If not, stand-alone databases at each location may be a better option, especially if you build up the location and patient goodwill to sell it off someday.
Software to Service Multiple Dental Specialties
If you also intend to expand by offering multi-disciplinary services, keep in mind that you will need software that serves multiple dental specialties to maintain continuity in not only patient delivery and communication systems, but business systems. And again, consider whether or not it will be necessary to maintain a single patient database.
Help from I.T. and Software Partners
As you set up your business structure or "shell" with your accountant and lawyer, it will be important for you to know the ins and outs of your database configuration, software capabilities, and how production, collection and profitability numbers will be reported. This will require the aid of your IT and software partners. Don't count on your accountant or lawyer to know any of these details. They can help you build your accounting, incorporation and tax equations based on your variables, but only if you do your homework so you can explain all of them, including your database configuration and software capabilities.
Single or Multiple Databases?
Ultimately, evaluation of your database and software needs begins with identifying whether you will run your operation with a single or with multiple databases, with a single or with multiple software solutions, and understanding how these locations need to be connected. An experienced IT partner will complete a thorough needs assessment, help you answer these very important questions, and also provide you with options when selecting a solution.
IT Team That Specializes in Dentistry
Because the technology landscape today includes so many options like VPN, RDP, clouds and hybrid clouds, it's important to choose an IT team that specializes in dentistry. Your technology needs truly are specialized and unique, so don't settle for anything less than experts in the field. XLDent, for example, has been serving the dental community since 1971. We offer a software solution that is scalable for single practitioners, group practices, multi-location, and multi-specialty practices. We provide computer hardware and network services, as well as partner with NSPs that specialize in dental practice installations across the country.
Growth and prosperity await you! Work with all of your trusted partners—accountant, lawyer and IT professionals—to build a successful equation that is productive and efficient to maintain.

Breast MRI
February 27, 2018
Breast MRI for Screening, Diagnosis, Treatment Planning & Evaluation
27th February 2018, London
Breast MRI has achieved widespread clinical use within the NHS, and has a number of different roles: cancer screening (and assessment of cancer risk), diagnosis, MR-guided biopsies, planning of surgery and radiotherapy, and assessment of a number of treatments/interventions, increasingly making use of functional MRI techniques. Optimisation of the sequences employed is essential, but many different approaches are possible within existing Radiological guidelines. A Quality Assurance Programme must address many different needs, often requiring a compromise between different image characteristics.
This scientific meeting will examine ways to achieve optimum breast MRI protocols (data acquisition and data analysis protocols) for maximum clinical benefit whilst considering the advantages of MRI in the context of other imaging techniques.
This subject will be of interest to clinical scientists/medical physicists, Radiographers and Radiologists supporting breast MRI in a variety of applications
If you'd like to submit an abstract, please note the call for papers deadline is 24th November.

The Secret Is Out On Storied Sea Bright Squash Club
By Chris Rotolo |
SEA BRIGHT – As a kid you were taught to avoid dark alleyways, but since 1923 local squash players have ventured down one particularly shady corridor in the heart of Sea Bright to work out within one of the community's most beloved hidden gems.
For nearly a century, those strolling past a concrete pathway on Ocean Aveune – which now separates Anjelica's Restaurant and DIVE! – have heard the spongy splatter of a synthetic-string racket connecting with a squishy hollow rubber ball. The familiar pops and impacts resonated from behind a door with a sign that read "Valkyrie Squash Club," a Two River-area institution open to all local competitors, but known by only by a handful.
The club's legacy was put on hold for a number of years following the devastating impact of Super Storm Sandy in 2012. In October 2017 the club was purchased by new management that wants to entice new players to venture inside and take turns smacking the ball in a four-walled court.
"Right now it's all about active management and active promotion and marketing," said Tertius Raubenheimer, the club's general manager and head squash professional, who has rebranded and renamed the facility the Monmouth Squash Club and Swim School.
"This is an incredible facility with a great history. But now we're more than a handful of squash courts. And we have to get the word out," he added.
For 94 years the club was squash-centric, featuring three singles courts and one larger doubles court. However, since Raubenheimer and his business associate Francis Odeh have stepped to the forefront, the pair has worked to expand the facility's offerings, removing the doubles court and replacing it with a swimming pool, a steam room and a bar and lounge.
It was a renovation Raubenheimer believes has made the club more of a community.
"We're taking the club in a little bit of a different direction, but the feeling of community is like nothing this club has ever had before," Raubenheimer said. "The older players who have been here for years have expressed how much fun they're having meeting new playing partners and new friends. It's created a family atmosphere, which is exactly what we wanted to do."
According to Raubenheimer, since introducing this new business model the club's enrollment has increased from just 25 members to nearly 150. And though a surge in patronage is certainly great for business, Raubenheimer's greatest joy is seeing the future of his beloved sport preserved.
"Squash is a niche sport, but it's a truly great sport," he said. "Once people are introduced to squash they rarely let it go, and I've seen that play out in a lot of young kids enrolled at the club. They're 7 and 8 years old and already competing at a high level. It's very exciting to see."
Raubenheimer credits the lure of an NCAA Division I college scholarship for the uptick in participation from younger players, but he also views the pool as another gateway for local youths to become familiar with the sport.
"The youngest you can begin training and playing at the club is 7 years old, but we offer swimming lessons to children as young as 3 and 4 years old. Though their focus is swimming, they'll be around the game at a very young age. They'll see people playing on our courts, they'll watch the pros play on our televisions and I think a handful of them will end up pursuing it because, at the end of the day, squash is just a lot of fun."
The Monmouth Squash Club and Swim School offers monthly membership options, including an entry level pool membership for $45, a pool membership for two children for $70 and a family pool membership for $150. Squash membership includes access to all of the club's amenities. A squash student membership can be obtained for $55, while an adult membership is $150 and family membership is $250.

Professional Disc Golf Championships coming to SRU
Professional Disc Golf competitors Martin Handel (left) and Jamie Skiendziel, from Saint Thomas, Ontario, Canada, have earned invitations to compete in the World Championships Aug. 1-8. The duo recently stopped by Slippery Rock University to practice on the University's 18-hole course, which is the site for the championship finals.
July 8, 2015
SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. - More than 400 of the top disc golf athletes on the planet are set to come to Slippery Rock University for the 2015 Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) world championships Aug. 1-8.
In addition to hosting the final round for all divisions at noon Aug. 8, SRU will also be the site of several preliminary and semifinal rounds throughout the week leading to the final round of competition. This is the first time in the tournament's history, which dates back to 1982, that the PDGA world championships will be held in western Pennsylvania."
"We are very excited about having the world disc golf championships at Slippery Rock University this year," said SRU President Cheryl Norton. "It will be a wonderful opportunity for our community to enjoy world-class disc golf in person. This year's championships will also be a great chance for the elite disc golfers of the world to experience a state-of-the-art-course, our beautiful campus and the warm and welcoming community of Slippery Rock."
In preparation for the world championships, SRU recently redesigned and expanded its nine-hole disc golf course into a full 18-hole course. The course is located in the Aebersold Student Recreation Center/James P. McFarland Recreational Sports Complex areas of campus. The par-66, 9,956-foot course is divided into three six-hole loops, offering a mixture of scenic and challenging holes ranging from open grass areas to wooded holes with varying elevation, wind and water hazards that will provide players with a true test of their skill. An overhead shot of the impressive course can be viewed here.
J. Gary Dropcho, a Pennsylvania Disc Golf Hall of Fame inductee and 2015 PDGA world championship tournament director, designed Slippery Rock's course and said that SRU was selected to host the championships for a variety of reasons.
"Slippery Rock has the existing infrastructure to support the event," Dropcho said. "We are expecting 1,000 spectators and 400 participants and Slippery Rock can easily handle those numbers. SRU is also conveniently located between the other courses hosting the opening rounds. Additionally, the course itself is optimal for showcasing the sport."
Preliminary round play will be Aug. 4-7 at four local courses: Slippery Rock University, Deer Lakes Park, Knob Hill Park and Moraine State Park. The top four players in each division at the end of preliminary round play advance to take part in a final nine-hole round at SRU Aug. 8 to decide one champion per division. A complete schedule breakdown of tee times and round locations can be found here.
All rounds are open to the public. There is no cost of admission or parking fee for any of the rounds played at Slippery Rock. Restrooms and concessions will also be available to the public. For those unable to attend, DiscGolfPlanet.tv is scheduled to broadcast from the championship throughout the week.
To date, 420 players are registered to compete in one of 12 divisions (Open-Men, Open-Women, Masters-Men, Masters-Women, Grandmasters-Men, Grandmasters-Women, Senior Grandmasters-Men, Senior Grandmasters-Women, Legends-Men, Legends-Women, Senior Legends-Men, Grand Legends-Men). To qualify for the 2015 PDGA world championships entrants must have reached a certain point threshold, differing per division, at the conclusion of the 2014 season.
This year's field includes 30 former champions as well as athletes from the U.S., Canada, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Norway, Sweden and Thailand. Last year $18,475 in prize winnings was distributed among the world champions in each division.
Disc golf rules are the same as traditional golf, but a flying disc or Frisbee substitute for the ball and clubs. The sport was formalized in the 1970's, and shares the object of completing each hole in the fewest disc throws. A golf disc is thrown from a tee area to a target, which is the "hole." For more information on disc golf visit www.pdga.com.

The Williamsburg Bridge, Williamsburg and East Williamsburg Tour
Williamsburg is more than just industrial plants and a vibrant hub of hipster culture. It's home to a variety of ethnic groups, a cradle for local art communities and an ever quickly changing neighborhood of New York City's borough Brooklyn.
Come and explore Williamsburg to its full with Free Tours by Foot. Our three 3-hour walking tour begins on the Manhattan side of the Williamsburg Bridge as we cross over the bridge to Williamsburg. The bridge itself is a substantial chapter to tell the Williamsburg story. When the bridge was completed in 1903 it was the longest suspension bridge in the world and the first bridge made entirely of steel. The bridge provides views of the old Williamsburg industrial waterfront which was one of the most industrialized areas in the United States, and also has spectacular views of the Mid-town Manhattan skyline. You will hear tales of spying and of the large migration of people moving from the heavily congested Lower East Side to newly accessible Williamsburg.
On the Williamsburg side, we will walk along Bedford Avenue with its many places to eat, quaint shops and galleries. Also, we will visit the East River State Park, the Brooklyn Brewery and many more places of interest. The tour will include a short subway ride* to East Williamsburg which has become a center for young artists and is globally known for its' graffiti art and murals which are constantly changing.

text: Maternal and fetal medicine in Minnesota Overview Print At Mayo Clinic, if you have a high-risk pregnancy, you will be cared for by the maternal and fetal medicine team. You will be cared for by the maternal and fetal medicine team if you are facing a high-risk pregnancy, such as one complicated by genetic, obstetric, medical or surgical conditions. The maternal and fetal medicine experts at Mayo Clinic offer you the most advanced treatment and care for complex maternal and fetal diseases in pregnancy. Mayo Clinic's multidisciplinary team of doctors includes those trained in treating pregnant women with complex problems (maternal-fetal medicine specialists), experts in treating children with congenital conditions (neonatologists, pediatric surgeons, neurosurgeons, urologists, nephrologists, neonatologists) and specialists with extensive experience in fetal surgery. These specialists complement obstetrical care providers and can co-manage complex conditions before or during pregnancy. A dedicated team of physicians and nurses ensures the coordinated approach necessary for intrauterine therapy when appropriate and optimal planning for delivery and neonatal care. You will receive support from a compassionate team of providers including dietitians, genetics counselors, social workers and nurse specialists. Fetal Care CenterThe Mayo Clinic Fetal Care Center uses a coordinated, multidisciplinary team approach to help women experiencing high-risk pregnancies. Fetal Care Center staff use imaging techniques to accurately diagnose babies with birth defects prenatally and then connect parents with a neonatologist and a pediatric subspecialist. This team of physicians and nurses helps coordinate any necessary intrauterine therapy, plans the route and timing of delivery, and provides a smooth care transition for the newborn infant. Conditions treated Abnormal alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) Complex maternal or fetal cardiac disease Fetal anemia Fetal arrhythmia Fetal bladder outlet obstruction Fetal congenital diaphragmatic hernia Gastroschisis or omphalocele Inherited and acquired thrombophilias Lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO) Maternal rhesus (Rh) factor disease or atypical alloimmunization Placenta previa or placenta accreta Pregnancy complicated by cancer or transplant Spina bifida Twin-twin transfusion syndrome Twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence or acardiac twin Tests and procedures Abnormal alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) or quadruple screen test Chorionic villous sampling Fetal therapy, including intrauterine blood transfusion, laser ablation of twin transfusion and radiofrequency ablation Fetal ultrasound and other sophisticated imaging technologies First trimester Down syndrome screening Genetic amniocentesis Increased maternal or paternal age Increased risks for genetic conditions Noninvasive prenatal testing Percutaneous umbilical blood sampling Targeted imaging for babies at risk of birth defects and fetal anomalies Fetal surgery 3D fetal ultrasound3D fetal ultrasoundA 3D fetal ultrasound can detect facial abnormalities or neural tube defects. At Mayo Clinic's campus in Rochester, Minnesota, you will find a specialized multidisciplinary fetal surgery team trained to care for women with pregnancies complicated by all forms of fetal distress and abnormalities. Improvements in prenatal testing, imaging and technology have provided maternal-fetal medicine specialists with new tools to address these conditions. Fetal surgery is a procedure in which surgery is performed on an unborn baby (fetus) in the mother's uterus. It may be an option for some mothers to improve the long-term outcome after delivery. Fetal surgery gives the physician the ability to intervene earlier to treat life-threatening birth defects. In some cases, fetal surgery has better results than surgery after delivery. These procedures are complex and require skilled teams, advanced facilities and comprehensive care for the mother and her unborn baby. Many birth defects can be treated in utero at Mayo Clinic, including: Amniotic band syndrome Bronchopulmonary sequestration of the lung Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) of the lung Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) Congenital high airway obstruction syndrome Fetal anemias Intrauterine transfusion Lower urinary tract obstruction Mediastinal teratoma Neck mass Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) Spina bifida (myelomeningocele) Twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence Twin-twin transfusion syndrome Methods for treating these conditions at Mayo Clinic include: Open fetal surgery for myelomeningocele, the most severe form of spina bifida Open fetal surgery for SCT resection Open fetal surgery to remove CCAM Shunt placements Fetal cystoscopy for bladder obstruction Fetoscopic endoluminal tracheal occlusion (FETO) for severe CDH Fetoscopic laser ablation for twin-twin transfusion syndrome Bipolar cord coagulation (BCC) for TRAP sequence Radiofrequency ablation for fetal tumors Ex utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) Fetal cardiac intervention Intrauterine blood transfusions ResearchResearchers of the maternal and fetal medicine specialty group engage in research on the effective use of health care resources to help people who are pregnant. They have advanced the field with research in preterm labor assessment, fetal assessment during maternal surgery, effective use of blood products during pregnancy, decreasing maternal exposure to radiation, placenta previa and abnormal placentation, integration or acculturation, and fetal surgery.

Heidegger : His Life and His Philosophy (Paperback) (Alain Badiou & Barbara Cassin)
not available
Not in stores
About this item
Martin Heidegger was an ordinary Nazi and a loyal member of the provincial petty bourgeoisie. He was also a seminal thinker of the Continental tradition and one of the twentieth century's most important philosophers. How are we to make sense of this dual life? Should we factor Heidegger's domestic and political associations into our understanding of his thought, or should we treat his intellectual work independently of his abhorrent politics? How does any thinker reconcile the mundane with the ideal or the pursuit of philosophical inquiry with the demands of civic engagement?In Heidegger, Alain Badiou and Barbara Cassin immerse themselves in the philosopher's correspondence with his wife Elfride to answer these questions as they relate to Heidegger and all thinkers vulnerable to the politics of their times. They focus on Heidegger's tormented relationship with his wife, with Hannah Arendt, and with numerous other women, bringing an unusual level of intimacy to his personal and intellectual worlds.

Kenya's Lucy Muchoki is joining Invest in Africa Now!, a private investment promotion agency as the liaison for the Eastern African region.
Speaking about the news of Lucy joining Invest in Africa Now!, General Manager, M'Hamed Cherif, said "this collaboration with Lucy represents a meeting of minds and augurs well for the future of our endeavours, for which we need competent and passionate people like Lucy".
Lucy Muchoki is the Chief Executive Officer of the Pan African Agribusiness Consortium, (PanAAC) an agribusiness platform for Africa.
Her various high-level agribusiness forum commitments include being the Private Sector Representative to the Executive Boards of Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA), Association for Strengthening Agricultural Research in Eastern and Central Africa (ASARECA) and the Global Forum for Agriculture and Research (GFAR).
Lucy is a member, representing the private sector, of the African Union Commission expert task force on markets and infrastructure. She is also the Vice Chair of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme's (CAADP) Non State Actors' Taskforce and also a member of the thematic working group on the Agribusiness, Value Addition and Market Access Programme in Kenya's Agricultural Sector Coordinating Unit.
An accomplished entrepreneur, Ms Muchoki is a founding member of the Kenya Country Business Incubator programme KEKOBI.
Lucy Muchoki quit her job some 10 years ago to devote her time to helping farmers improve their productivity and competitiveness. PanAAC aims to bring together agribusiness and agroindustry value chains and support services to enable them access information, knowledge, strategic partnerships and remediation.
PanAAC was established in June 2007 in Johannesburg by the African private sector under the auspices of the African Agricultural Research Forum (FARA). It was founded on the premise that the reason agriculture is so underexploited in Africa is there's a lack of a dynamic private sector. To remedy this, the organisation identifies serious farmers from different parts of the country, provides them with farm inputs (seeds, fertiliser and chemicals) or animals to kickstart their business, and educates them on best practices.


text: Tvboy 2,957 Posted January 15 (edited) FINAL VERSION The custom map thread got me inspired again to try to create a feasible 3-player map, even though we all know it's impossible. But I went and started messing around in vassal again, mainly focusing on core tiles and still coming up against the same problems as before, so I looked to see if the expansions had anything I could use, mainly Jabba's Realm and Heart of the Empire since those are the 2 most popular expansions right now. Jabbas Realm actually had a piece that fit and solved one of my problems, and having the extra small 2x2 pieces also gave me more options. After messing around for a couple of hours, I think I actually have something that could work. I really like the idea of the losing player being able to partially reshape the map at the end of the round to help them maybe catch up in the next round. Would love to hear people's thoughts on this.

Smart Tips For Finding Gambling
7 Amazing Advantages of Online Casinos
Online casinos were made for those who don't want to gamble in land-based casinos or have no adequate time to gamble. They have become more and more popular over time. If you doubt how exciting and amazing online casinos are, these seven reasons can help alter your mindset.
Variety of options
How else will you move from a bingo hall to a craps table and to a poker room while happily sitting on your chair? The majority of casinos online feature video poker machines, casino table games, as well as slots. Besides, in all major gambling firms online, you can switch from sports betting to online casino gambling using one username and account.
Is there anywhere else where you can get free money to bet with? The majority of online casinos give out free cash bonuses to attract new customers and keep pace with the competition. The cash bonuses may be anything from $10 for simply downloading the software to $2,000 for finishing a given amount of raked hands.
Of course, there's nothing more convenient than getting to play your favorite casino games in the comfort and convenience of your home. You can do so while having your favorite beer and listening to music. Moreover, you can put your game on hold every time you need a breather.
No dress code and smoking rules
Whether or not you're a smoker, you're not bound by such rules when you bet online. The same scenario applies to dressing, eating, as well as drinking. You can do whatever you like, for example, stay naked or wear your dirtiest clothes, drink, eat, watch TV, talk on the cell phone, etc.
When you play casino games on the internet, you won't have anyone to sidetrack you from your game. Furthermore, you can decide on your atmosphere, for example a day light source or clocks.
An offline casino can be quite an intimidating atmosphere for a new gambler. Conversely, the standard casino online is much more novice-friendly than its offline equivalent. Play money modes, interactive tutorials, and avoiding social embarrassment due to not understanding the rules and behavior codes is a better welcome for the greenhorn poker or casino player.
Of course, online gambling is typically safer than gambling in a brick and mortar casino and carrying huge amounts of money. Most casinos online are reputable and reliable businesses that won't jeopardize their status and lose clients by ripping them off.
Of course, there are hundreds of other benefits associated with online casinos. And although brick and mortar casinos come with their own attractive features, nothing can match the convenience of being able to play your beloved games in your own private space called home.
