Wednesday, the 32st week of Ordinary Time

Saturday at 5:00 - Sunday at 9:00 and 11:15am
When the people gather for prayer, all are welcome.
Saint of the day - Albert the Great
Readings for today's Mass
If you recall, yesterday was a story about a servant who spent all day working for the master plowing fields and tending the livestock. i imagine he was tired and wanted to knock off for the day, but, instead, he was greeted by the master insisting that his needs be taken care first. Only then can the servant chill.
In response to this, Jesus suggested that the servant should not expect to hear a thank you from the master since the servant was simple doing what he was told to do. He was just doing his job.
Today's reading follows yesterday's with the story of ten lepers who were healed of disease. When just one returns to say thanks, Jesus seems to be put off because nine of the ten showed no gratitude. In light of yesterday's gospel, i wonder why Jesus would expect any gratitude at all. After all, he was a teacher and a healer. He was just doing his job. Note that Luke labels the one as a foreigner, an alien who should have expected no healing at all. Maybe that is why he is so grateful.
According to the servant leadership model, one of the most important attributes of a leader is a grateful heart. Gratitude, even before work is done, is an expectation that the work will be good. With this approach, the worker is encouraged to produce good work that merits gratitude.
So, did Jesus need the gratitude of the other nine lepers? Probably not. No doubt they were also grateful, but they were also overwhelmed and excited to be made whole.
But however you look at it, the gratitude of the recipient has no bearing on the nature of the good work. Goodness stands alone, whether or not anyone notices.
Fr. Solanus Casey, who will be beatified this weekend in Detroit, is said to have told people to thank God ahead of time. Always approach God with a grateful heart, fully expecting goodness. i think this is a most powerful expression of hope.

Boxing is an ancient sport that was introduced in the Olympics by the Greeks in the 7th century BC. After the decline of Roman Empire, boxing ceased to be played as a competition sport. Organized amateur boxing was revived in 1880. Earlier it was contested only in three weight categories. Boxing became a part of modern Olympics in 1904. The sport has forever been dominated by the US. Wearing head-guards while contesting was made compulsory in 1984. Electronic scoring machined for more accurate and objective officiating were introduced in 1992.
The boxing event of the 29th Olympic Games will be held at the Workers' Indoor Arena in Beijing from August 9-24, 2008.
The following events are included in the program for Beijing Olympics 2008:

Recordings for team members to help them feel confident participating on calls and the forum.
How Guilt and Feelings of Selfishness Can Trap You… and Your Whole Family
Guilt and shame producing phrases echo through many people's childhood. Parents, teachers, grandparents, siblings, even complete strangers use those words, and others repeat them. Those phrases are used because they work… at least in the short run. They are great way to "cope" with and manage children. Here's why…
Turning Things I Can't Control Over To The Universe
– What prevents you from trusting the Universe to come through for you?
– Invite Source into our arena to cocreate with us
– Do I pursue this or not?
– I can't trust anyone to help me!
Asking For What I Want (or even knowing what that is….)
– Afraid to know what I want
– Given up wanting
– Asked for more than what was offered
– Didn't expect to get it
– Judged for asking
– The world's a terrible place (or is it??!)
What Is The Meaning Of My Life?
– Connecting with well-being by identifying what's important to you.
– Only want things because of how they make you feel.
– Internal vs external meaning
– I forced myself to be what they wanted.
– Told I could do anything.
– Lost in the gap.
– What do you want to be?
I'm All Alone
– Now you're alone and life Sucks!
– I'm all alone facing cancer
– I have to do it all myself
– Feel most alone when I'm with people
Accepting Love: Receiving Love From Yourself and Others
– Deserving: I have to earn it or be good enough
– Freedom: If I accept love will I owe you? Will you try to control me?
– Will love go away and will I hurt more?
– Selling stuff vs offering and receiving love
– Allowing Love and Money
– Why would he really love me if I look like this?

When granite countertops or shiny, stainless steel appliances beckon homeowners from the display areas of home improvement stores, it's tempting to gear remodeling thoughts toward the items that will add flair and decorative appeal to a home. Even though most improvements add some measure of value, deciding which are the best investments can be difficult.
Return on investment, often referred to as "ROI," varies depending on the project. Frequently, the projects that seem like the best investments don't bring the greatest rate of return, while those that seem like smaller projects bring substantial returns. Real estate professionals routinely weigh in with their expert advice, and homeowners can couple that advice with Remodeling magazine's annual "Cost vs. Value Index" to reap the greatest financial impact from their renovations.
The following were some of the projects that garnered the greatest ROI in 2015.

"Girls of today are women of tomorrow" is a well known but underexploited fact. Aiming to sensitize and empower them will, at the minimum, secure a welcoming and gender just future for generations to come. Utilising it as one of its arrow against trembling status of women, DJJS under its gender equality program Santulan conducted an ambitious 10 days winter camp under the banner "Koshish ek asha" with about 40 girls between age group of 10 to 25 years from January 25, 2018 at Shri Ram Chand Mandir, Hawa Mahal Road, Badi Choupar, Jaipur, Rajasthan. The workshop visioned to ignite self-worth and spirit of empowerment among the participants through diverse sensitization tools; enabling them to develop the ability to think critically.
The workshop was conducted by Sadhvi Arya Bharti ji and Sadhvi Gurpreet Bharti ji-disciples of Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji, along with a team of dedicated volunteers. It started off with a music session comprising of classical singing and instrument playing, followed by yoga session with demonstration and practise of some easy yet essential exercises. Thereafter, a group discussion was carried out to share perspectives about need for women to break confines from household chores to psychological barriers. "It is the woman who has to ensure that she has equal participation in decision making, whether it's in the family or at the community level", emphasized Sadhvi ji. Further, she put across the concept of spiritual awakening, being a major component of holistic empowerment, that helps women carve a positive self-image and increase their confidence level. A ved-mantra chanting spell was also conducted, infusing piousness and sanctity in the atmosphere. Fun-activities like dance and drama were carried out by volunteers with the participation of attendees that filled everyone with enthusiasm and spirit of gender revolution. Craftwork activity including doll puppets as emblems to save girl child, posters on gender discrimination, placards and photo-frames having slogans to voice against female feticide was executed.
Numerous campaigns and workshops are being organized by Santulan teams PAN India particularly with girls with the objective of nurturing their minds in gender just way by inculcating the significance of girl child education, her fundamental rights and making them realize their own ability to face up leadership skills. As rightly quoted by Katica Roy in Forbes, "Gender equality 'does not mean that women and men will become the same, but that women's and men's rights, responsibilities and opportunities will not depend on whether they are born male or female'." DJJS Santulan, aiming at holistic empowerment of women through ideological capacity building, is working ceaselessly at global level now with a vision to re-establish women dignity and a discrimination free society for a girl child, before she is born.

Click here for this week's beefy-good episode! & Click here to get to know our new Makan Kaki, Kelly Koh!
As a Katong boy born & bred, our new Makan Kaki Kelly Koh's food heritage is seriously legit. He also runs The Rockin' Diner by The Mustard Incident along Club Street, and this week, he reveals one of his favourite supper places in Katong. He finds himself here at least once a week, heading over on busy days after closing up his own diner for a quick and tasty supper. Yes, it's a seafood restaurant, but in Kelly's opinion, it just so happens to also serve the best beef Mui-fun!
Mellvin Seafood Restaurant has been operating out of a little corner coffee shop for years, but the quality remains the same & the consistency is amazing – in their beef mui-fun you get very soft, tender beef and a nice, thick gravy, the way it's meant to be. Mui fun is a very simple dish, but so tasty when done right and these guys do it so well. Everything is stir-fried in a wok for that smoky fragrance – beef, veggies, gravy. Then, this gloriously unctuous concoction is thrown over rice. Kelly always orders an extra fried egg with his beef mui fun. You can see the result above – a gooey-soft yolk just waiting to be prodded into a slow lava eruption over the rice, just for that added richness. No wonder the mui-fun doesn't stick around for long after it's been served!

With our best and many thanks to Rick Siggelkow,
who wishes to send this tribute written for the late George Carlin to all fans of Shining Time Station
and its beloved Mr. Conductor.
Memories of George Carlin on "Shining Time
By Rick SiggelkowCo-Producer, "Shining Time Station"
Allcroft's June 26 piece for The Los Angeles Times offered a sensitive portrait of George Carlin that few people outside of his family and inner circle had ever seen.
Working with him in the intimate confines of a recording booth, Britt was able to draw out George's childhood memories
and put them to brilliant use in his narration of "Thomas the Tank Engine."
By contrast, my time with George was spent on the studio
floor shooting his Mr. Conductor scenes. This was where we would "shrink" his character down to 18 inches
tall through the magic of ultra-matte. It was painstaking work, but with George it was never dull.
First he would have to stand in front of a wall of green
and be inserted (or "matted") into previously shot scenes called "backplates." Then he would
have to find his eye-line, a point in space where he was supposed to be looking, like "That stain on the wall over the
craft table."
Next, he would have to react to lines being read to him
from off camera, not by another actor but by a production assistant or floor manager. Sometimes he would have to walk,
run, jump or hide behind some oversized green-painted prop. If the lighting was off and he didn't cast the right
shadow, if the prop had moved by an inch, or if the matte wasn't absolutely perfect, he'd have to do it all over
again. This went on for fourteen hours a day, day after day, for several weeks.
You can tell a lot about star talent by how they treat
the crew. Some stars barely notice the crew, but George was different. He learned everyone's names and their interests.
One day he might recommend a book to a grip, another day he'd be discussing scenes from an obscure movie with the lightning
director. He even made a point of inviting the crew to his comedy shows. When some of them went to see him in
Vegas, George made sure they got the best seats and invited them all backstage. The crew loved him.
Although George was a consummate professional, either before
or after a take he'd usually offer some funny insight or unexpected comment. Once he teased me about diversity
at "Shining Time Station," noting that a woman, Stacy Jones, ran the train station and a Native American, Billy
Twofeathers, was the engineer, but a middle aged white guy named "King" owned the railroad.
George was also a perfectionist, a true craftsman.
His sense of timing and his ability to match his shots (to be in the exact same position from one take to the next so that
we could easily edit the scene together) was flawless. More times than not, George would want another take
so that he could make some improvement. It might be a change in his inflection or an expression on his face, but
it usually made the scene better, and it always made it funnier. We would all hold our breath until it was over and
then the studio would explode in laughter.
Sometimes his brilliant jokes and patter would happen so
fast it would fly past you. Then, of course, when you tried to tell one of his jokes at home it was never as funny.
That's when I realized the difference between a true comedian like George Carlin and the rest of us. He saw the
world differently and he took notes. Somehow he saw that everything had the potential to make people laugh,
and his humor flowed so naturally that he made it look easy. George never forgot
the tender age of our audience, but he also never talked down to them. He was a man who showed kindness to everyone at "Shining
Time Station," and he never took a moment of life for granted. Working with George was a joy and privilege.
He was one of the great ones.

There are several raw materials suitable for artificial sand making, such as limestone, granite, quartz rock, river pebbles etc. Here we focus on quartz rock artificial sand making line.
In a complete artificial sand making plant, we need primary crusher, secondary crusher, vibrating screen, sand making machine, belt conveyor and sand washing machine. For quartz rock sand making, we suggest jaw crusher as the primary crusher and cone crusher as the secondary crusher. Here, we use cone crusher instead of impact crusher because the quartz rock is very hard. And also if we use impact crusher, there will be much powder produced in the crushing process.
Firstly, the quartz rock will be fed into jaw crusher for primary crushing. And then the particles discharged from the jaw crusher will be sent to cone crusher for secondary and fine crushing. After this, the small particles will be sent to the vibrating screen for separating and grading. The parts with required sizes will be sent to sand making machine while others will be sent back to the cone crusher for re-crushing. After being crushed in the sand making machine, the quartz rock will be turned into sand. And then in order to get clean sand, we need to use sand washing machine to remove the dust in the sand.
Firstly, the fineness can be controlled. The final product size of the sand making machine can be adjusted, which is why we can get various sized sand and grade the sand.
Secondly, the artificial sand is with good cubical shape. Compared with natural sand, the artificial sand has better shape.
Finally, the production cost is lower. With the dwindling of natural sand and the protection policies of the government, the cost of natural sand is higher and higher. But for artificial sand, we have rich resources can be processed into sand, which makes the production cost is lower.

Yahrtzeit and the meaning of ChanukkahPosted on 2010.12.06 at 11:34
Current Music: Camper Van Beethoven - Turquoise Jewelry
Of course, in addition to being Meret's birthday, tonight is my Dad's yahrtzeit, the 6th night of Chanukkah. That year that day fell on Dec. 25th, so it seems strange to be marking it so early, and while we will be celebrating, but that is how life (and death) works. When Dad went into the hospital for the last time, the doctors thought, and told us, that he would die that night. That is actually pretty much the only reason they even admitted him. But he didn't die right away. He lasted for 8 days, holding on as long as he could, and then he died. This taught me about Chanukkah. The point of the holiday is not the oil or anything, the point is that sometimes, life holds on longer and gives you just a bit more than you thought it could or had any right to expect it could. Sometimes things go a little better than you thought they would. Sometimes things turn out better, like when I married the woman of my dreams and got the daughter of my dreams in the bargain!

text: Blog 2017 September Hamilton County Police Arrest Two Men for Possessing 1,000s of Marijuana Edibles Previous Post | Next Post Hamilton County Police Arrest Two Men for Possessing 1,000s of Marijuana Edibles Posted By Berry Law Firm || 15-Sep-2017 Two men from California were arrested by Hamilton County, Nebraska police for allegedly possessing thousands upon thousands of illegal marijuana items, as well as a "small quantity" of cocaine. Highway patrol officers claim to have pulled the pair over as they left the I-80 and ran a stop sign. The officers confirm that they were presented with enough suspicious behavior to conduct a vehicle search with probable cause. While searching the interior of the vehicle, police claim to have found approximately 4,100 illegal items. Most of the items were marijuana edibles but some were also paraphernalia items and THC in liquid form, possibly intended for electronic cigarette use. The occupants of the vehicle were charged with the following drug crimes: Possession of hash oil Possession with intent to deliver Marijuana possession in an amount greater than one ounce but less than a pound Possession of drug paraphernalia Possession of a no Drug Tax Stamp Only one occupant was charged with possession of cocaine. Can Interstate Drug Stops be Defended? While police do not need a search warrant to search a vehicle on the interstate, they may not search without legal justification. Since running a stop sign does not automatically present the suspect as a dangerous criminal, the alleged probable cause the highway patrol officers had at the time of the search could be challenged in court. If a criminal defense attorney can convince the judge that the search was illegal, then all evidence collected because of the illegal search – as in all 4,100 pieces of illegal drug items – would have to be deemed inadmissible and could not influence the outcome of the case. For more information regarding this ongoing story, interested parties can click here to read a full article posted by KWBE News Channel Nebraska. For drug crime defense, the Berry Law Firm can be reached by calling 402.817.6550. The firm's Nebraska drug defense lawyers offer free consultations to prospective clients.

You are all welcome to my inauguration today 4pm at The #Gambian embassy in #Dakar.
A deadline of Wednesday midnight for Jammeh to resign passed without the president of 22 years indicating that he would leave office.
Eyewitnesses said the situation was calm in the capital Banjul overnight despite forces loyal to Jammeh being deployed in the city and troops from Senegal, Nigeria and Ghana amassing along the Senegalese border.
Al Jazeera's Ahmed Idris, reporting from the Nigerian capital Abuja, said that deployment involved air, naval and ground troops.
"A ship of the Nigerian navy is off the coast of Ghana on the way to Gambia, and there are reports that Ghana may also be contributing to the troops' deployment to Gambia, in addition to Senegal," he said.
The UN Security Council is scheduled to meet on Thursday to adopt a statement on Gambia that will reaffirm the demand for Jammeh to hand over power, diplomats said.

Despite at least eight ministers resigning in the past 48 hours, Ousman Badjie, the chief of defence staff has repeatedly pledged loyalty to Jammeh.
Robin Sanders, a former US ambassador to ECOWAS, told Al Jazeera it was unclear how the Gambian military would react to foreign intervention.
video – Thousands fleeing to Senegal amid Gambia crisis
"The Gambian military is divided along ethnic lines and it's really unclear whether forces loyal to Jammeh will fight against ECOWAS considering how they lack the wherewithal and strength to do so," she said.
"A medium-term compromise can be brokered like what was recently done in the Democratic Republic of Congo . It may not be the best solution, but the most important thing is to keep the peace and ensure we don't have a mass exodus of refugees to neighbouring countries."
However, Benjamin Lawrance, a professor of International Studies at the Rochester Institute of Technology, said there was "potential for violence" with Jammeh loyalists prepared to stick with him to the very end.
"All military are susceptible to violence when the opportunity presents itself," Lawrance told Al Jazeera. "There could be isolated incidents such as shootings or cases of sexual violence.
"There are also a small cohort of loyalists, the Jungullers paramilitary group and the State Guard, Jammeh's private police. Both are very loyal and should Jammeh find himself cornered by African troops they could put up a strong fight."
Jammeh's refusal to step down has created political and humanitarian turmoil.
So far, at least 26,000 Gambians have fled to neighbouring Senegal after Jammeh declared a state of emergency on Tuesday.
Gambia is one of Africa's smallest countries and has had just two rulers since independence in 1965.
It is completely surrounded by Senegal and the Atlantic Ocean.
Jammeh seized power in a coup in 1994 and his government has gained a reputation among ordinary Gambians and human rights activists for torturing and killing opponents.

This place is getting really popular recently with its highly raved dish, Shiok Maki.
Lets see if it is worth the hype!
The sashimi were fresh, but I did not like the way is was sliced.
We ordred a few to try, the meatball, chicken, some pork and shishamo.
None of them were worth mentioning. They were just ordinary grilled skewers. The shishamo was abit charred and it tastes quite bitter.
Stir-fried Udon
We ordered udon as a staple food to share, but it was, again, nothing fantastic. Just a simple fried udon with the sweet japanese sauce.
Shiok Maki (Generation 1)
Here comes the star of the restaurant, Shiok Maki! This is the generation 1, which has salmon, avocado and unagi, drizzled with a lip-smacking sauce that tasted like a mixture of mentai sauce, mayonnaise and nacho cheese? I can't figure out what exactly is in it but, it is AWESOME
Shiok Maki (Generation 2)
Generation 2 has fried ebi and the sauce is the same. I prefer the former.
Verdict: I wouldn't go back unless I have a craving for the Shiok Maki, especially if there's a long queue. Plus, it is really pricey at $16-$17 per plate. The service was rather bad because it was difficult to get the staff's attention and it took quite some time for our food to be served. The place was cramped and it gets worst when the restaurant is crowded!

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Senate Finance Committee has advanced a voter ID constitutional amendment after discussing the costs of taking such a vote.
The proposed amendment would require voters to show a state-issued photo ID at the polls.
An estimate of local and state costs for taking a vote on the amendment itself came to just over $100,000.
The longer-term costs of the amendment aren't known because it doesn't spell out how photo IDs would be checked in local elections.
The amendment moves to the Senate Rules Committee. The House hasn't acted yet on the companion bill.
(© Copyright 2012 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.)
I think voter I.D. is great. But, how will Al Franken feel when he will not be able to find those extra ballots in the sewer? Gee Whiz, he might lose his next election?
It's a felony…why didn't Senator Coleman have any successful cases against these sewer rats?
@ Heckva Job Brownie
That is because when Coleman tried to make case for voter fraud for one of the reasons why he lost the State Supreme Court ruled 7-0 that they found no evidence of voter fraud. And there are conservative judges on the Supreme Court and they ruled againest Coleman. So if you conservatives believe there is wide spread voter fraud which there isn't then maybe you should email those conservatives judges and tell them they got it wrong!
Conservatuve Judges in Minnesota? Who are you kidding. Do you call Miles Lord a Conservatuve Judge.? Ufta!
There is NO law that mandates a US citizen to carry or possess photo ID. This is not America, not South Africa during Apartheid.
People have ID because it's practical for day to day activity. If the state would issue approved photo ID when a person registers to vote, then I would be all for this law. Otherwise, it places the burden on those (granted very few) persons who do not have ID to pay a fee in order to vote.
Photo IDs for voting and life in general, okay–it's becoming a necessary evil I don't like but will go along with. However, making it a constitutional amendment before the stated framework and operational requirements of the photo ID system will work is ludicrous and absolutely political stupid.
Constitutional amendments should be for iron-clad principles that needs the weight of changing the [state] constitution. The Legislature is just being lazy in not passing this legislation it was elected to do. Too many amendments to the state Constitution will eventually make it weaker.
To all those Legislators in St.Paul who think shoving off controversial legislation to the constitutional amendment process think about it–your job will be in jeopardy come next election. If you can't pass legislation like you were elected to do then move over and let someone else do the job.
Swamp, the Legislature already passed a voter ID bill. Dayton vetoed it.
Don't prevent your Minnesota Educational systems from you not being logical?. We have too many "ratz" that vote more than once. Some ballots our even found in sewers (Franken) Just have some I.D. when you vote. One Man One Vote. Get it?….Thanks!
If conservatives in this state would actually show the rest of us this proof they have of this wide spread voter fraud that you are claiming then show it! But so far you haven't proven anything! Just because you believe it exists in your little bubble doesn't mean it exists in reality. We have had many elections in MN but in last 2 elections is where all of sudden you are claiming MAJOR PROBLEMS.
Conservatives are only claiming wide spread voter fraud because Coleman and Emmers both lost. Now if they Coleman and Emmers would have won conservatives would not be claiming foul, you would be claiming that Coleman and Emmers won fair and square!
Way to repeat yourself over and over again. We get it Tom. There is no proof of voter fraud. At least now we know that voter fraud will be prevented in the future though. I'm comfortable with knowing that it'll be much more difficult for felons, illegal immigrants, and dead people to vote. What are the disadvantages of this anyways? Wait let me guess… poor people and old people won't be able to vote because they typically don't carry ID's? LOL, that's a joke.
Grynch, You like I, were brain washed in the school systems and colleges in Minnesota. Get out in the trenches and find out how these crooks and quislings minipulate the damn system. The people there and here in California have been duped too! We are going broke. Don't you get it? Quit listening to all those idiots. Ask questions and most of them will either get mad or run to another subject. Wise Up and get some facts. Let not talk nonsense! Thanks!
Agree. The question is, would the GOP be pushing voter ID if Coleman and/or Emmers been elected?
Gyrnch: There really is no proof of voter fraud. So what is your problem?
One man One Vote. Not one Sewer 400 votes! Here in California we have 2 million illegals that vote with "No ID" ! Give me a break! No wonder we call you the land of the "loones" and "ticks" iln Minnesota with your DFL's, are now called the "Lunatic" State. Play that fight song to the U of M Rouser with those words applied! Wake Up Guys!

In this shiur we analyzed the opening sugya of the Hannukah material as it appears in the second chapter of Masechet Shabbat. The first issue that the gemara addresses is the permissability of oils and wicks on Hannukah that may not be used on Shabbat. The gemara gives us three positions:
1) Rav Huna – those oils that may not be used on Shabbat may never be used on Hannukah
2)Rav Hisda – those oils that may not be used on Shabbat can be used on Hannukah only during the week and not during the shabbat(ot) of Hannukah.
3) Rav – those oils that may not be used on Shabbat can be used through out all of Hannnukah.
Rava then proceeds to provide the conceptual framework for these three approaches. We began by noting that there is no fourth shitta recorded which permits lighting with the sub-par oils and wicks on Shabbat and forbids during the week. One of the goals of the shiur was to provide an explanation as to why that fourth approach is simply illogical or untenable.
The shittot were analyzed through the lens of Tosafot's question – if Rav Huna holds that one is required to relight an extinguished flame (kavta zakuk la) isn't that sufficient to prohibit usage on weekdays and Shabbat. How, asked Tosafot, does Rava know that Rav Huna also holds that we are permitted to benefit from their light (mutar lihishtamesh l'orah). This same question was asked by Ramban (and Rashba). As is their way – Tosafot gives a structural answer and Ramban a conceptual answer.
The mekorot (Gemara and Rishonim) can be found at this link.

Many business transformations are undertaken to align an organisation with its strategic goals. The desired end result? To ensure the customer value proposition, profitability and target operating model all work smoothly together.
Traditionally, transformation has been regarded as large-scale restructuring of an organisation, reacting to and playing catch-up with internal and external changes. Many organisations are utterly exhausted as they stumble from one transformation to the next without ever realising the value of their previous transformation programmes.
Using workforce analytics in the areas of Organisation Design, Workforce Planning and Transformation Management can help maximise the value of business transformation and minimise the disruption.
Want to find out more?
On Thursday 23rd April at 11.55am, Julian Holmes, Director at OrgVue, is running an Organisational Transformation workshop at the Tucana People Analytics Conference 2015. The workshop will explore 3 key questions:
- What is critical for organisation design? How to focus on the critical parts of the organisation that will deliver the greatest business benefits through cost reduction, customer value proposition or new business capability via enhanced organisation design
- How can you connect supply and demand for workforce planning? How to understand links between the business and workforce over time through enhanced workforce planning
- How can you control the implementation of transformation? How to understand, manage and minimise the impact of transformation effectively through enhanced transition management
Julian will demonstrate how using new tools and methods with Workforce Analytics can accelerate and support your transformation programme.

For readers of The Boys within the Boat, the amazing tale of the not likely Canadian hockey crew that clinched Olympic gold in 1948
The statement was once shocking—Canada, the birthplace of hockey, wouldn't be sending a group to the 1948 iciness Olympics in Switzerland. Outraged, a Royal Canadian Air strength squadron chief, Sandy Watson, speedy assembled a group of air strength hockey gamers who have been "amateur adequate" to accomplish less than the Olympic guidelines.
Sergeant Frank Boucher used to be recruited to teach the group and start the cross-Canada look for avid gamers. Hubert Brooks, a embellished flying officer and serial escapist from POW camps, used to be one other early recruit. Andy Gilpin joined from the RCAF base in Whitehorse, as did airmen from Quebec, the Maritimes and western Canada. And whilst their beginning goalie, Dick Ball, didn't move a scientific examination, Murray Dowey was once referred to as up from his activity as a TTC motive force and low perform goalie for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The ragtag crew bought off to a coarse begin, wasting such a lot of exhibition video games that Canadian newspapers referred to as them a shame to the rustic. however the RCAF Flyers battled again, and Boucher's protective procedure paid off. They eradicated the yankee crew, tied the Czech workforce and beat the Swiss because the place of birth crowd pelted the Canadians with snowballs in the course of the video game. at the similar ice the place Barbara Ann Scott received a gold medal, the underdog RCAF Flyers additionally gained Olympic gold, and their goalie, Murray Dowey, set an Olympic checklist that also stands.

Mini Review Phoenix Rising:
The music looks like change a lot, from their regular Neo Classical now into more Speed Metal as per song 1 "Pheonix Rising". There are still many epic moments as in "Future Never Dies" opening neo classical riff. "The Wind Blows" is a great metal ballad as well "No More Tears". And the closing is done by "The Phoenix" an instrumental tracks. Great albums again by Galneryus. Rate 4.5/5 !

This is an injection-plastic ship model kit.
From the JAMSTEC (Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology) website:
The Deep Sea Drilling Vessel (D/V) Chikyu ("Earth") is the first riser-equipped scientific drilling vessel built specifically for scientific research from the initial planning stage. It is capable of drilling up to 7,000 meters deep into the sea floor and aims to investigate the Earth's mantle and seismogenic zone. The Chikyu explores the Earth as the main platform of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP).
This highly detailed kit in 1/700 scale of the 210 meter long Chikyu was developed with the full cooperation of JAMSTEC. Features a descriptive instruction pamphlet (all in Japanese) with illustrations by Yoh Morinaga. Primarily a snap-together kit, although Bandai says you may want to glue on some of the smaller details. Can be built as either a full-hull or waterline model. Parts are molded in multiple colors, so a very nice model can be had with no painting at all. Another great release in Bandai's Exploring Lab Series!
BiG NEWS! For the first time anywhere in the world, the Chikyu has been able to extract methane hydrate (a form of natural gas) from the sea floor off the coast of Japan! It's said this discovery could lead to a 100-year supply of natural gas for Japan. Read the Daily Yomiuri news article in English HERE!

A 77-year-old man with aplastic anemia was admitted to our hospital due to worsening heart failure. Approximately 1 year earlier, he underwent left main (LM)-left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) crossover stenting with a bare metal stent (BMS) [ 1]. A routine blood test at admission showed pancytopenia (platelet 2000/μL, hemoglobin 6.3 g/dL, white blood cell 3120/μL) and coronary angiography (CAG) indicated a subtotal occlusion in the mid-distal right coronary artery (RCA) without in-stent restenosis of the BMS in LM-LAD (Supplementary Fig. 1). Because of refractory heart failure and severe thrombocytopenia, we performed transradial stentless percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) against the RCA lesion after transfusions, using rotational atherectomy (RA) and drug-coated balloon (DCB) under aspirin and intravenous heparin (Fig. 1a). Pre-procedural optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) showed diffuse fibrous plaque as well as micro channels and deep layered area with...

Engine of growth
Retail firm Kamal Osman Jamjoom has sped up its global expansion plans fuelled by recent deployments of advanced network and security solutions.
Retail firm Kamal Osman Jamjoom has sped up its global expansion plans fuelled by recent deployments of advanced network and security solutions.
Kamal Osman Jamjoom's (KOJ) IT team had an active 2007. In the last year, the team has worked on putting in place a new network backbone, added new servers and storage capacity and upgraded the firm's primary datacentre to take on the extra load.
All of this has been done in parallel with the company's existing work load including software implementation and service and support provisions. Most projects done in 2007 have been worked on for a larger IT goal, called the SMART(specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound) programme.
"The SMART programme was started in 2005 and encompasses everything related to the implementation of Oracle in the company. We launched the programme following a detailed SWOT analysis where we found weaknesses in our merchandising, planning and ordering systems.
These elements are very important to a core retailer like us," says Mohammed Thameem Rizvon, group IT manager at KOJ.
"To rectify these and add efficiency to the business, we did a system selection project for six months where we considered our core competence and what we wanted and surveyed the retail applications which would provide us the tools to reach our goals. We finally decided on Oracle retail, which we found to be one of the best in the world and something that suited our needs," he adds.
Once the firm chose Oracle, it realised the need to improve or upgrade its existing network infrastructure and hardware to better support Oracle.
SMART includes 11 projects, some of them technology and some business projects, which aim to implement a state of the art IT infrastructure that runs Oracle across the business chain.
Infrastructure upgrade
The team worked to set up infrastructure across the datacentre and the network backbone to support the needs of Oracle sufficiently. Actual deployment was preceded by a sizing exercise, where the team calculated needs in terms of the organisation, people joining and leaving, applications and other considerations until 2010.
Based on these calculations, KOJ decided to add around 24 Sun Solaris servers to its primary datacentre to take on the demands of Oracle.
Prior to the project, we were largely a Microsoft environment running on HP servers of which there were 26. Not all of these servers will continue to stay in the datacentre.
We will reduce the number of HP storage servers, as most application storage will move to Sun Solaris with Oracle. The application and POS servers will also become redundant," says Rizvon.
According to him, the company will consider blade infrastructure for the remaining HP servers in the near future.
"We are also completely upgrading our storage requirements because Oracle requires a lot of storage. Oracle's retail data warehouse uses a lot of data to do cube analysis and other in-depth metrics and all of this has to be stored," points out Rizvon.
The firm has also invested in building redundancy into the power and cooling systems in the datacentre. There are two failovers for the air conditioning and the UPS. A generator is also being put in place to provide alternate power if needed.
"We have put in several levels of redundancy in the datacentre. Since IT has become more of a utility, there should be no chance of any failure," says Rizvon. Around 90% of the datacentre is complete; in a couple of months the datacentre will be capable of supporting Oracle till 2009.
The company is also planning on setting up a disaster recovery site by next year. Work on the datacentre is running in parallel to the task of upgrading the company's network backbone.
Our company is growing really fast. We opened close to 100 stores last year alone. We are present in six countries and we are going to be in the seventh country in the next few months.
As we expand, we step into multiple time zones and this means the systems have to run 24/7. Our IT systems needed to be very strong, secure and stable and with this in mind our networks were upgraded. For the project of making our network highly available and secure we went with GBM," says Rizvon.
GBM has brought in a combination of Cisco 6500 switches and F5 for the upgrade. While previously everything was done via VPN, the company found this to be a restrictive approach especially across several telecom service providers in multiple countries. This has now been replaced with IPsec by the firm.
For connectivity we have gone for a mix of leased lines and ADSL for backup.
The leased line in Dubai is already done and the offices in Saudi, including Jeddah and Riyadh, will also be connected on a line soon. We are going for a distributed WAN where we have our offices and the stores connecting to the datacentre.
Offices remain online throughout, stores remain offline and whenever the connection is established will be able to send in information to the datacentre.
We use WAN links only for two important things - e-mail which the company hosts internally and PoS which will be upgraded with the Oracle implementation to work on the online mode," says Rizvon.

When I was growing up, my aunt taught me the phrase, "water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink". It was actually from the poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The line captures the desperation of a thirsty sailor on a ship who is surrounded by salt water on all sides which he is unable to drink. It is a metaphor for how one who is surrounded by the plentiful may be denied it. In a sense, this is an apt metaphor for all humanity, surrounded as we are by around 70% of the world's area by five great bodies of water, yet suffering a global water crisis now leading to mass thirst, hunger and desertification.
I won't bother going over the endless statistics over the water shortage we are experiencing, including the numbers of people worldwide denied access to clean drinking water and the tremendous rate of fresh water consumption caused by rapacious demand. Fair and accurate reflections of reality these stats are, no doubt, but somehow they are easier to gloss over. In a world at the mercy of a tremendous engine of economic growth, we may often feel helplessly small in comparison. In our individual capacities, what can we do to stop such systemic waste?
Unfortunately, both the water issue and even the ideas to deal with it suffer from the same problem: the desacralization of the environment. Once we see water as merely a liquid meant to be consumed,we are held captive to a materialist view of reality. Whether water should be wasted or not is not determined by how much of a Divine gift it is but by whether its rate of consumption will constitute a threat to survival and our habitat.This is inherently a reactive approach. For most of human history, virtually every culture cherished water as the source of all life. Under that view, individual acts of waste would be rightly condemned as an abuse of God's blessings, while a system-wide wastage would have been unthinkable.
Unfortunately, as I have stated previously, this materialist view of the environment has seeped into much of Muslim thinking. This is abundantly clear when I see how water is 'used' in Malaysia, for example. In a country where there is a tremendous bounty of rainfall, more so in one month than many countries receive in an entire year, there is a sad tendency to take this resource for granted. It pains me every time I go to the masjid here to pray, and see how the men perform their wudu. More often than not, they begin by turning the tap to full blast before taking their leisurely time to perform the ceremonial washing. Many do not bother to fully close the tap. They use on average the same amount for wudu as one would expect for a short shower. I can't help but think to myself how tremendously wasteful this may all seem to the casual non-Muslim observer. What is worse is that this is in clear defiance to how our Prophet (pbuh) commanded us to be careful in our use of water in this sacred act. When he was asked, "Is there extravagance with water in ablution?", he replied, "Yes, even if you were on the banks of a flowing river." (Sunan ibn Majah 425)
Muslims have a long way to go on this issue. While I would love for us to approach the ideal of having a rainwater harvester on every roof, I would settle for us to begin by being thankful for every drop we receive from the Lord.
