Is Onshape intending to develop PLM eventually, or are they going to go the route of partners to provide that? I ask because Onshape is a database system with the correct platform to seemingly handle this functionality. I am trying to understand where Onshape will end and other companies may pick up. Costing, especially in development, is an area where housing that information all under the same database where the design files exist seems to make sense from an organizational efficiency point of view.
lougallo Member, Administrator, Moderator, Onshape Employees, Developers Posts: 1,631@PDY Time will tell but our focus is CAD and rethinking that tool and the close necessities for CAD to be successful and efficient. PLM, as you already know, is its own animal and talking to those systems seems to be the more near term solution. Still very early days...Lou Gallo / PD/UX - Support - Community / Onshape, Inc.0
@LouGallo Thanks. I understand about the need to focus on CAD and that makes perfect sense, especially now. It seems the underpinnings of Onshape would in the end suit itself very well towards the PLM direction in the future. PLM seems to be the natural extension of PDM. I believe there are overwhelming advantages with Onshape on the PDM side of things. I wonder if folks using Onshape in due time might expect it to encroach on the PLM territory. I am interested in seeing how well Onshape becomes a hub. This might negate any need to encroach on this territory. Arena PLM, in my mind, seems to be the company most similar to Onshape's business model - at least on the PLM side of things. One version of the truth is a term they use a lot. Entirely cloud based (and have been for a long time), low barrier to entry, great for small to mid-size companies in numerous locations that are progressive and fast moving and comfortable with someone else housing their critical data. No local install needed. Setup your free initial account and kick the tires. Then decide to go for it and spend a reasonable monthly fee per user.
What would be extremely desirable for me in Onshape is for it to do cost rollups in a design. Costing as a design is unfolding and changing is something that is becoming more important - rather than waiting until a design is done. Designing more in parallel rather than serially in order to help compress the development cycle. If collaboration is one of the main priorities of Onshape, it would be almost a travesty to have to hand the data off to yet another system to do this. If costing can be handled, then why not quote management. It would seem to be a slippery slope at some point. I'm trying to wrap my head around where this tool will/should end and where others will pick up. I'm sure that is a constant evaluation with you guys too and you have to be very leery of feature creep at this point and creating way too much bloat. It would also be tricky to manage those relationships with other parties wanting to integrate if they sensed you were going to encroach on their territory.0
stevehess Moderator, Onshape Employees, Developers Posts: 98@PDY
Thanks for your insightful comments. As you know Onshape was built with data management in mind. The data management features of Onshape are at the core of the product and will become more exposed as Onshape matures.
In time, Onshape will be the system of record for all types of data & meta-data (data about the data) allowing you to run analysis and simulations (cost rollups are a natural fit) without having copy or reproduce the information in another system. The data stored in Onshape will be visible and accessible to your other enterprise systems.
Do you have a particular PLM system in mind?Steve Hess \ Onshape Inc.1
@SteveHess Thanks for the reply. Arena PLM is the system that seems aligned with a similar business model to what I currently understand of you and them. I've been watching them for a while. http://www.arenasolutions.com/ I had an account at one point (about 10 years ago) and setup quite a bit inside their system. I was impressed. It seems there is potentially a lot of overlap in this realm.1
Sorry to be an annoyance on this issue. Just trying to get my thinking correct. Regards.0
brenden_monahan OS Professional, Developers Posts: 3 PRO@PDY I agree with your comments about PLM and Arena solutions. I've been researching cloud based PLM systems for about 2 months now and Arena seems to offer the most functionality. I haven't created my free account yet but it's on my 'to do' list.
My "Holy Grail" of cloud based software systems would be a fully integrated suite of tools offering solid modeling like Onshape, PLM like Arena, and PCB design like Upverter.1
@bmonahan You're speaking my language with your "Holy Grail". If Upverter had native 3D and was handled in Onshape - game over.0
david_smith431 Member Posts: 2 PROOnshape could go cloud to cloud with Odoo ERP/MRP? https://www.odoo.com/page/manufacturing
There is a company that makes a PLM addon for Odoo https://apps.openerp.com/apps/modules/8.0/plm/ They have some addons for Solidworks/Inventor etc.
Hi David
This Addon is not a MRP integration.
We are working in a new set of Add-Ins for the integration of CAD and ERP and MRP systems. We are really close to finish the integration of SolidWorks and Odoo MRP.
We are partners of Onshape and of course, we want to develop in the next months an Add-In to communicate Onshape with any ERP system, and mainly with Odoo.
We are working in the first Meetup of Onshape in Spain right now, and as part of this event we will talk about the CAD and ERP / MRP integration
As you can see in our agenda in spanish: "20:10 Integración de las aplicaciones de CAD y ERP"
Keep in touch in our website www.close2circle.com
Talking about Odoo <---> CAD integration:
There are 3 ways to integrate Odoo
- CAD <-> Odoo. It is just sharing information
- CAD <--> Odoo MRP. The goal is the Material Requirements Planning
- CAD <---> Odoo MRP II. Here the goal is all the Manufacturing Resource PlanningUn saludo,

@david_smith431 @eduardomagdalena I am also interested in Odoo to Onshape intergration. I would like to be able to approve a part for production release and have in migrate automatically to Odoo.
Area's I would be interested are:
- A link from Odoo product graphic (thumb nail) to Onshape part thumb nail.
- Onshape part meta properties link to fields in Odoo eg product name, internal reference and revision level.
- Onshape Bill of Material (when released) to generate/link to Odoo Bills of Material
- Onshape production drawings to be linked to Odoo Product and attached to manufacturing order
Hi Bruce
Glad to see you working with Odoo and Onshape.
Our goal is to be able to approve an assembly with N levels for production release and migrate it automatically to Odoo MRP products and Bill of materials.
That is what we are doing right now with SolidWorks and OdooUn saludo,

Consulting Partner de Onshape Averigua a quién conocemos en común1
Obviously we will need to be able to create BOM's first but after that I'd be very keen to get something up and going for Odoo. What you describe is exactly what I am after. Not so interested in the SolidWorks as the plan is to run this business with Onshape Cad, Odoo ERP and Google Drive.0
@brucebartlett @eduardomagdalena
If Onshape would allow connections to database where all needed information is stored, can you make odoo connect to such db and join the data with other product data?
I would prefer universal approach so that it would be open to any system.
It is not a simple BD connection if you want to create Products and Bill of material in Odoo or any ERP with MRPUn saludo,
Eduardo Magdalena C2i Change 2 improve ☑ ¿Por qué no organizamos una reunión online?
Consulting Partner de Onshape Averigua a quién conocemos en común0
Of course it needs data handling in ERP side but it would open push/pull access to data to any erp developer (like me).
Creating specific things for specific 3rd party software is bit against Onshape nature don't you think?//rami1
The kind of data should be always the same in Onshape.
That is a work in process of the Onshape team.
But each ERP and MRP would use this datas in different ways, so it would be a 3rd party software work do thatUn saludo,

matteo_1 Member Posts: 2 ✭Any news about this topic? Is there some "ready to use" PLM integration? Or some development tool and API library to interact with OnS data and distribute them to other PLM systems? cloud or not ...
thank you!
We are waiting for a release of Onshape that provide us more properties, so we can use more kind of datas in parts and assemblies.As I wrote before, we are working in the integration of SolidWorks and Odoo.
There are 3 levels to integrate Odoo1- CAD <-> Odoo. It is just sharing information2- CAD <--> Odoo MRP. The goal is the Material Requirements Planning3- CAD <---> Odoo MRP II. Here the goal is all the Manufacturing Resource Planning
We have done the second level and we are working in the last one, a full integration that allow a real time Manufacturing Resource Planning (materials, time, resources with all the manufacturing process information)
Once Onshape has more datas in their documents, parts and assemblies we will start with the integration of Odoo and Onshape.Un saludo,
Eduardo Magdalena C2i Change 2 improve ☑ ¿Por qué no organizamos una reunión online?
Consulting Partner de Onshape Averigua a quién conocemos en común2
@emagdalenaC2C It will be awesome to get this functionality.
So what you still need is the ability to create custom properties?
How do you deal with bought out raw materials like bar stock, which normally isn't spec'd on CAD as a quality?1
Hi Bruce
Yeah, we need more properties so we can store all the request information.
In SolidWorks, we have a new command to add all the information as properties of the files (parts, and assemblies) and solids like weldment profiles, etc.
You can see our default form to set this information. You can set the manufacturing process, commercial or not, storable or not, cost information, etc. It is in spanish, but you can figure it out how it works.
Once we have more properties in Onshape we will define a new command with a form like that for Onshape.Un saludo,

Lovely, Affordable Lavatory Remodels in Northern Virginia. Rigorously planning a small-bath rework can effectively maximize the area. A bathroom transform entails various areas of expertise: construction, plumbing, electrical and lighting. Bathroom remodels present some of the highest resale returns as a home improvement mission. A rest room transform is commonly a lengthy venture, and thus a contractor might ask for money prematurely of the work being began and after completion of specific milestones alongside the way in which.
It is easy to spend $25,000 on a toilet renovation. Here's the thin on how fat your pockets needs to be to do the transforming job that you really want. These specialized contractors may have completely different costs for his or her work depending on the fabric you need the accessories made out of and the way they calculate their prices: by the hour, job or in any other case.
In the tub, you may get away with granite or even marble, if you're sensible about it. A single-sink self-importance won't take lots of stone. Small bathrooms are often inexpensive to transform than larger bogs as a result of they've much less sq. footage. According to Remodeling magazine's 2005 Value vs. Value Report, a mid-range toilet remodel is approximately $10,499, greater or decrease depending on the place you live (and how you define mid-vary).
Rodner chooses a petite-sized vainness, which prices a third less than comparable designs with larger footprints. Nonetheless, if you wish to keep close inside your finances, there may be the option to buy equipment like sinks, bogs, countertop supplies, cabinets and completely different lighting choices at dwelling enchancment shops. Reworking defines a mid-range rework as placing in a rest room, tub with a tile encompass, an built-in solid-surface double sink and vainness, recessed drugs cupboard, a ceramic tile ground and vinyl wallpaper.
You always have the option so as to add some pieces-sink, toilet and lights-after you've got finished the bigger tasks to spread out costs. All of this can enhance materials and labor price. Then at the finish of the challenge, the contractor will have the ability to offer you an itemized listing of everything included in the rework and the way a lot it prices in whole.

"I'm just trying to change the world, one sequin at a time." – Lady Gaga
There are worse ways to change the world. Entertainment is a great way to do something for the world. Happy people don't want to commit acts of violence. And where are people happier than at a show on the Las Vegas strip? No where.
Show girls don't get enough credit. They are the hardest working people in Las Vegas. They are classically trained in ballet, and are put through a 4 week training course before they even get the job. And that's not even mentioning the physical labor of the job. They carry 20-30 pounds of costume, all while preforming in 3 inch heels, and going up, and down stairs.
If you think you have what it takes to be a show girl then slip into this Sexy Party Bunny Costume. Luckily for you it doesn't weigh 20 pounds, and you don't have to go up, and down stairs all night. And if you are really good, you might just be invited to perform on the strip. Training hard to be able to lift the 20 pound head dresses, and run stairs in heels. Entertaining people, making them happy. Dancing with women who have worked their entire lives to get to the stage. All so you can change the world one sequin at a time.

We continue to monitor and report on significant developments with respect to employment-related class-action lawsuits. A few years ago, several class actions emerged in Canada, most frequently related to claims for unpaid overtime. There was some thought that this could signal a wave of litigation in Canada similar to that which has developed in the United States. In the intervening years, some of those cases have proceeded to the certification stage, a significant step in the litigation where the Court decides whether to approve the use of the class proceeding mechanism, without digging deeply into the merits of the case itself. The Court of Appeal for Ontario will soon be considering two somewhat divergent decisions from the Divisional Court relating to the certification of two class-action lawsuits for unpaid overtime in the banking sector.
In the case of Fresco v. CIBC, retail branch employees brought a claim alleging that they were required or permitted to work overtime without proper compensation. That case was denied certification on the basis that there were no significant issues common to the individual class members. In other words, each employee's case was so unique that, there were no particular issues that could be determined on a class wide basis that would significantly advance the litigation. The Divisional Court upheld the decision not to certify that action.
In contrast the Fulawka v. Bank of Nova Scotia case was certified as a class action; a decision that the Divisional Court has supported and is now also under appeal to the Court of Appeal of Ontario. In that case, employees allege that they were required to work overtime without receiving proper pay as a result of deficiencies in the bank's overtime policies. The Court felt that there was enough commonality amongst the individual claims as a result of alleged systemic practices and policies.
Another recent decision has re-emphasized the necessity of identifying common issues that would significantly advance any individual claims, thereby making a class action an appropriate mechanism.
Recently in Kafka v. Allstate Insurance Company of Canada, certification was denied to a group of employees who alleged that they had been constructively dismissed. The action was based upon a new business model that was introduced by Allstate to be rolled out over a period of two years. What is interesting about this case is that there were certainly systemic aspects to the change in business model. Allstate was switching from a satellite based model, to a centralized model for its agents. The result of the change was that many of the agents would be required to move to a nearby major city and would be operating in a more structured environment as opposed to running their own satellite business. While the changes were systemic and implemented across the board, the impact of those changes on each individual employee could vary significantly.
The law of constructive dismissal requires a very individual analysis to determine whether the unilateral changes to the employment relationship were so fundamental, that they effectively amounted to a dismissal from the job that the employee had been performing.
The claim was strictly based on termination pay and severance pay under the Ontario Employment Standards Act, 2000 (ESA). The plaintiffs likely made that choice in order to remove the very individual issue of common law notice period from consideration; the notice and severance pay requirements under the ESA could be easily calculated, instead of requiring a full examination of each individual's position, length of service, age and a variety of other personal factors.
The Court determined whether or not the changes to the New Model were substantial and material was not an issue capable of being assessed in common. For example, the impact of the change upon compensation is typically an important factor when considering a claim for constructive dismissal. The Court noted that an agent who had a history of generating new business was better positioned to earn commission income under the New Model than the agent who relied more heavily on renewal or roll-over business. Also, the impact on closing the neighbourhood offices in favour of more centralized locations would not have been the same for all agents.
Further important issues considered by the Court were related to condonation, which is a requirement that an employee reject or object to the proposed change in a timely fashion, and whether each individual had been offered reasonable alternative employment.
It is important to recall that class proceedings are a mechanism by which individuals can collectively pursue a claim where doing so advances the administration of justice. The Court must determine whether it is a preferable procedure to require the plaintiffs to pursue their claims on an individual basis. The Court summed up that analysis as follows:
"The preferable procedure requirement can be met even when there are substantial individual issues. However, a class proceeding will not satisfy the preferable procedure requirement when the common issues are overwhelmed or subsumed by the individual issues, such that the resolution of the common issues will not be the end of the liability inquiry but only the beginning.
In this case, there is no single common issue that will significantly advance the litigation for the class. Instead, an individual inquiry is at the heart of every liability issue. In these circumstances, there can be no doubt that a class action is not the preferable procedure."
The Kafka case marks another decision that employers should be inclined to view favourably. Every case will be determined on specific facts and allegations; however, this case is another example where the overwhelming amount of important individual issues overwhelms the utility of the class proceeding because not enough common issues can be identified to significantly advance the litigation. It should be very interesting to see the comments and approach of the Court of Appeal for Ontario with respect to the overtime class actions that it is set to hear shortly. In the interim, it appears safe to note that there remain serious obstacles to the certification of class proceedings in employment related cases, which typically contain many issues relating to liability.

Discussion in 'Incubating & Hatching Eggs' started by KKluckers, Sep 10, 2007.
When I hatch banties, I stop on day 18. I haven't had a bantam chick hatch before day 21. They always hatch at the same time as the standards.
My bantams hatch the same as standards too, on day 21.
actually your chicks can hatch earlier or later if there standard or banty.
Hi Christina!
I had a line of hatchery Silkies that routinely hatched on Day 19 --- whether broody-hatched or artificially incubated. As I bred away from them, they went back to hatching on Day 21.
I thought that was strange
That wouldn't apply to your eggs.
Did you find the note in the box?
I always stop turning on Day 18 and increase humidity til hatch.
How's construction going?
Best of luck!
Hi Christina,
My personal experience has been that the banty eggs hatch on days 19-20 and the standard eggs on days 20-21. I stop turning all on day 18.
Hi Lisa~
yeah I got the note! That is interesting about your silkies. I think I read on pekin bantam site that bantams hatch earlier because they are smaller eggs. The building is going good should be done by next weekend. Ill post some pictures when the eggs hatch! Im soo excited.
Thanks everyone for the advice!
That's the 'norm' for chicken eggs.
My teensy-weensy Modern Game eegs take the full 21 days to hatch.

General News of Wednesday, 19 July 2017
Source: kasapafmonline.com
The Managing Editor of the Dispatch newspaper, Ben Ephson says President Akufo-Addo has taken a much harsher stance on illegal miners popularly called galamseyers because he is likely to end his Presidency after his first term.
Mr. Ephson believes the President's actions is a tacit statement that he won't be running for 2020 polls.
For him, Mr. Akufo-Addo's reform agenda and his resolve to go the full hog to curb some of the worst excesses under his regime shows he may retire from the political scene by 2020.
"I've always had that conviction that some of the things he does he will want to leave a legacy. He has nurtured this dream of becoming a President for a long time. He'd fought for this position all his life. Nana Addo is a seasoned politician and if truly he wanted to go for two terms, his galamsey fight would have come during his second term where he would be bowing out. Take it or leave it, those that this galamsey fight is affecting will be in excess of one million in terms of those who do it and others. And from all indications, maybe he will want to leave a legacy in our political history that he stopped the phenomenon under his regime. His actions paint a picture he is leaving the scene shortly.
The Akufo-Addo/Bawumia administration is known to take a hard line on stopping illegal mining activities in the country.
Over the past five months, his government has embarked on a rigorous exercise to stop the menace in all parts of the country, especially the galamsey plagued enclaves.
Interacting with the media at his maiden Presser with Journalists, President Akufo-Addo reiterated his government's commitment to fight the menace, insisting he doesn't fear going all out to stop the menace for any political gain.
"First of all, it is not clear that my name will be on the ballot paper for 2020 and if I will contest, this threat will not stop me from fighting galamsey in the country," he revealed.

Just as more patients are taking control of their health information by bringing personal data from their cell phones or activity trackers into their doctor's appointments, more employers are using mobile, data analytics and personalized consumer portals to engage with employees and evaluate the effectiveness of the benefits plans they offer.
Employers are also scanning data for ways to save money, especially on high-cost claimants. Eighty-three percent of HR practitioners say the only way to lower costs and improve financial results is by using advanced analytics to better understand how employees use healthcare services, who high-risk employees are and how to intervene effectively; this is according to a survey by the nonprofit National Alliance of Healthcare Purchaser Coalitions.
To address high-cost claimants (who cost an average of $122,382 annually), the American Health Policy Institute suggested in a study last year that employers should develop innovative, data-driven programs that target certain chronic conditions and engage beneficiaries to be active plan participants.
Most human resources departments today know that by better segmenting their employees, they can measure what's working with their benefits offerings and improve what's not. But while there's no shortage of data available, it can be difficult for employers to discern which findings are most actionable and worthy of attention.
That's why WEX Health developed a new, customizable analytics platform—the WEX Health Cloud Employer Dashboard, now available for all WEX Health Cloud Partners. The dashboard provides numerous highly visual insights into things like how much employees contribute to health accounts, where they're spending their healthcare funds and exactly how they're engaging with the healthcare tools offered. By leveraging comparative averages and median benchmarks, the dashboard will also offer companies the opportunity to see how they and their employees stack up against other "like-me" companies in the market. This type of comparative data will prove essential to those employers who want to get a leg up on competitors and to better recruit, support and retain their employees.
Arguably, the most meaningful metric that the new platform introduces is the Health Financial Viability Index, a first-of-its-kind assessment that speaks volumes to an employer about an employee's ability to pay for any out-of-pocket expenses at any given time. Based on contributions and disbursements since the beginning of the calendar year, values range from 0 to 100, with higher scores reflecting a greater capacity to pay. The value is derived by factoring HSA contributions and disbursements for a given account since the beginning of calendar year, including velocity of contribution, spending and existing balances, where applicable. Think of it as an employee "health score," similar to consumer credit scores.
If scores are consistently low, employers should look closely at their benefits strategy, benefits communication plan and/or at the ways they are empowering employees to make better, informed healthcare decisions. By focusing on raising their health financial viability scores, employers will be able to differentiate themselves from competitors and to better control healthcare costs.

Wrestling Justice Without the Spandex
Kaiju Big Battel Mixes Technical Wrestling Excellence with Bizarre HumorBy Brian Loux
Kaiju Big Battel
Mayday! Mayday! Boston SOS!
Saturday, May 1, 6 p.m.
Traverse enough of Boston and you'll be sure to find a decal bearing a remarkably square frownie-face with crossbones. Ever wonder what underground movement it might represent? The answer is so bizarre, so outrageous, and so ludicrous, it could take root in no other place than the New England metropolis.
Kaiju Big Battel, which describes itself as a "tongue-in-cheek hybrid of American pro-wrestling, Japanese monster movies, and lowbrow pop culture," does indeed resemble the love-child of World Wrestling Entertainment producer Vince McMahon and an anime fanatic. Wrestling's masculine melodrama changes here into a ludicrous story about a battle for control of the universe as men in monster costumes duke it out in a steel cage (now termed the Danger Cage).
Kaiju does indeed take heavily from American professional wrestling organizations, including monster Unibouzu's "murky depths" move, a modified version of Brock Lesnar's "F5" maneuver in which the opponent is placed on one's shoulders, lifted above ones head, spun around, and dropped. But there are attributes that set Kaiju above a backyard wrestling production mixed with humor, and to some extent, even above traditional professional wrestling.
First is the small venue in which battels are performed. The intimate setting helps rile the crowd more frequently and makes the high-flying maneuvers all the more impressive. Of course, the monsters follow that up with an impressive move repertoire. While the performers tend to be actors by trade, they are still able to pull off the eye-catching moves like tornado DDTs, sunset flips, and fisherman's suplexes. For myself, I was able to watch Dusto Bunny and Neo Teppen perform moonsaults off the top of the Danger Cage all the while being an arm's length away from both.
Then would come the colorful characters and storyline. Traditional wrestling stories tend to be ones of personal feuds. However, Kaiju permanently keeps itself in the World Championship Wrestling vs. New World Order days, with four factions (one good, one evil, two rogues) battling each other and no one ever truly gaining the upper hand. This is infinitely easier to understand and dive into for a fan.
And while the costumes do help exceptionally in developing a character's relationship with the fans, the monsters usually go the extra mile to show their personalities. The newly debuted Superwrong came out dancing to the internet-famous "Yatta!" song and took a good three minutes to perform before his matchup. Dr. Cube (the chief villain whose visage graces the Kaiju decals) will stomp around and salute his followers after gaining the upper hand. Gomi-man (a living pile of New Jersey garbage) comes out with a barrel of toxic waste and throws handfuls of it into the crowd.
In order to help direct the tempo, musical selections are played throughout each match. Sometimes it is simple as playing a monster's theme song when he comes to interrupt a scheduled match. But usually, the music is able to express how the fight is going. When both monsters are getting slammed into the cardboard building props, you have typical streetfight music. Should the hero have the upper hand, something more triumphant or in the style of his theme song might play. The opposite is of course true for the villain.
The best musical accompaniment tends to come just before a high-risk maneuver is about to be executed. The music starts out soft, slowly building as one of the competitors scales the cage, then climaxes as the monster makes his fall back down to Earth. It's an innovation in wrestling that again helps the crowd get into it.
But one of the most important traits of Kaiju is the ability to never take itself too seriously. While the story does describe the battle for the universe and commentator Louden Noxious describes the battles with the sincerity and emotion of WWE announcer Jim Ross, there's never any doubt that it's a spectacle.
Two of the matches that night were one-punch knockouts; one because Superwrong was so weak, the other (the championship match) because Hell Monkey made his way to the ring drunk and barely able to stand. Los Plantanos were able to defeat Marutambo (a giant tree) by taking axes to him.
This ultimately combines for a product that is truly captivating. No more than three hours after being introduced to the world and story of Kaiju had I become a "mark," or a wrestling fan who has forgotten that the entire thing is staged and is cheering as if it were real. I tried to start "Holy Shit!" chants after every flip off the top of the cage and booed when evil Dr. Cube walked away with the championship belt that night.
Wrestling, Godzilla movies, and anime all have their clique audiences. But if you enjoy a modicum of any one of them, be sure to check out Kaiju the next time they're in town.

Always love to read your posts when you've had some really good, quality family time! I know how much it does mean to you to be able to reconnect with your nieces, brother and all. The job situation -worrisome, certainly -but you do seem to be handling it all quite well. No sense in getting your panties all in a bunch over something where you have no control. And, I'm sure you're dealing with all this through lots of prayer to keep you centered. You can always say -as I've always told my kids when things get a bit discombobulated -"It'll all be better before you get married again." I know -non-sensical, but it gets the point across to know your priorities. Peace, my friend. Chill some more with the music and memories of a beautiful time with family and friends.
- Debo Blue said...
Thanks Jeni. My new mantra: ..."oh what peace we often forfeit, oh what needless pain we bear." Whatever's going to happen will happen anyway. Had to think about the "next marriage thing" then I got it after you told me not to get it. Gee, I'm too relaxed:-)

Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend. Sounds like you may be having some major changes in your life soon; I've certainly had some recently, and all we can do is take things one day at a time.
Your Cowboys done good - just sayin' the Titans are still undefeated...

Dr.S-I'm a worker bee in the financial world. Things are shaking and tilting right now but I'll survive. I come from strong stock.

Hi Debo Blue,
Thanks for visiting my blog. The wedding sounds like it was really beautiful...I always love going to weddings.
I'm also a Fred Hammond fan, in fact he is doing a concert here next month. I really want to go, because I just love to hear him sing!
It sounds like you have a positive outlook on your job future,no matter what the outcome.

Hey amethyst, thanks for stopping by. I've been a Fred Hammond fan since the days of Commissioned. He was in Phoenix a few years back and I went to see him too.
Come back anytime!
- fermicat said...
I hope your changes come because of something you choose to do, rather than something that happens as a consequence of losing your job. Best of luck.
I'm glad someone had a good football weekend. Mine wasn't -- Georgia Tech lost (homecoming at that) and Georgia won. Drat!! But Saturday is another day. We'll see what it brings.
- Smalltown RN said...
OH gatherings with family are so much fun...and it sounds like you had a wonderful time.
As for the employment issues...I to think that is awful...but I can understand the economics of it from an employers stand point...I mean if word gets out that they are laying people off...it must mean business is poor and if business is poor do other companies want to be investing or working with them.....
So they leave the employees in limbo...and with Christmas coming that is very hard...trying to plan and budget....these are very hard times.....I wish you well....
- Debo Blue said...
Fermi-the changes are because there are layoffs going on all over my company and I think I'm ready to tell the corporate world goodbye right now.
Smalltown-it is awful being in limbo. Too much time to think. Alas, it's starting so we'll see.

Oct. 9, 2004
TRESSEL: Well, we needed to be the ones that had a 2-0 turnover margin. It's going to be tough to beat a good team like Wisconsin losing the turnover margin. And we also needed to do a much better job of keeping the ball and keeping our defense off the field, especially in the second half. I think the time of possession of the game was like 36 to 23 minutes, and you're not going to beat a good team with those kinds of indicators.
REPORTER: Jim, real quick, clarify what went on in that glob of players or whatever after the game was over, were they trying to dance on the W, or were you in the middle of it?
TRESSEL: I have no idea what they were trying to do, but I saw the two opposite color jerseys going at one another a little bit, and probably not very smartly I was in the middle of it without a helmet. But I don't know that there were any things done other than pushing and shoving, I think.
REPORTER: The replay in the game the second half when you apparently got a fumble and they went back on it upstairs, they discussed maybe giving you the ball and then they didn't, you may not have been aware of that, but how big an impact was that in the game overall, do you think?
TRESSEL: I don't know. It was irrelevant. When it was over, we still needed to stop them and go score some touchdowns and we didn't do those things, so for us to kid ourselves and say that was some kind of turning point or that was the difference, I don't know that that would be the right thing for us to view it as.
REPORTER: Coach, why was there such a lack of offensive production today?
TRESSEL: Probably a couple things. One, Wisconsin plays pretty good defense. Two, we probably didn't do as good a job hitting some open receivers as we could have. We had a nice drive going at one point in the first quarter and first down pass, had it caught and then fumbled it down in there, I don't know where we were, 20. So you can't do those things. You better do everything just right against someone like Wisconsin, and we didn't. REPORTER: Is it the offense that concerns you most that you would reevaluate things or is it just an overall approach?
TRESSEL: Well, you know, we've been together a long time, Clay, you know everything concerns us. We work on everything and we don't work on any one thing less than the others, and our offensive people work 18 hours a day and so do our defensive people. So we're trying to get better at everything we do.
REPORTER: You're committed to Justin one way or the other? I mean, you went with him from start to finish the last couple of games.
TRESSEL: I think that was the right thing for us to do, at least in my opinion.
REPORTER: Jim, it looked like we saw some different looks and different plays on offense today. Was this a departure from what you've done offensively? Did you open it up and try some new things today and was that forced upon you essentially by the kind of defense you were playing?
TRESSEL: We didn't have any different run-blocking schemes than we've had all year. We had a couple different looks formation-wise, which is natural. If you go back to any one season, they're going to always give you a little bit of a change as things go, but one thing that we feel against any good defense, and as I said, Wisconsin is a good defense, is you better do a lot of different things because they're veterans, they've seen a lot of different looks, and if you think you're going to run the same thing all the time, you're going to be mistaken. We felt like we wanted to come in with a good balance in misdirection, misdirection run, and drop back pass, and some screen, and we just didn't do it enough in the second half to keep our defense off the field.
REPORTER: Coach, can you talk a little bit about Wisconsin was able to run the ball quite a bit. Can you talk about the status of Mike D'Andrea, are you allowed to talk about that at this point?
TRESSEL: Other than the fact that he's out for the year, I can't say what.
REPORTER: So that is confirmed that he's out for the year at this point?
TRESSEL: Uh-huh.
REPORTER: Can you just speak to the general disappointment, obviously the win streak at home ending, starting 0-2 in the Big Ten.
TRESSEL: Well, I am speaking of that.
REPORTER: No, could you.
TRESSEL: Oh, could you. I thought you said you spoke to that. I guess the biggest disappointment at this point is losing to Wisconsin. Our kids played hard. We're coming off a tough loss from a week ago where none of us did as good as we were sure we're capable. And we wanted to make sure that we at least gave every ounce that we had to do so this weekend. So what I'm most disappointed about is we gave it excellent effort, but then didn't do some of the things you need to do to be a good team. I don't sit around and think about 0-2 and winning streak, you know. I hope I have to worry about winning streaks in the future, but I want to start with one.
REPORTER: Jim, did Justin take a step backwards today in the progression?
TRESSEL: I don't think so.
REPORTER: Are there any circumstances where you could see shaking it up at quarterback in the next week or two?
TRESSEL: Based upon what I saw, Bill, on the field today, I wouldn't say so, but it's hard to watch everything. We go back and study film and that type of thing, but what I appreciate about our staff and our players is they all sit down and first evaluate themselves and each position. We'll grade their position and we'll look at things in total and make decisions based upon what is the best thing for the team, but offhand at this moment in time, that's not something that jumps in my mind as a solution.
REPORTER: Jim, did John Stocco throw the ball a little better than maybe you anticipated; and also the two touchdown catches they had looked like they were pretty quality catches, can you reflect on those?
TRESSEL: Someone mentioned, I guess it was the radio I was just on, the key to the game was that they ran the ball well, and you know, when you give it to Anthony Davis four times, he's going to get close to four yards a carry and that's about what he got. I thought the difference for them offensively was the fact that they were efficient in their pass game and came up with some spectacular catches and some key third-down catches, a couple — they were just well done. And when you're efficient in your pass game and still can just pound it in there, that makes for pretty good offense.
REPORTER: Coach, defensively, it seemed like maybe you couldn't contain Davis for one on sweeps, were there adjustments attempted or were they attempted and just the lack of execution, because the defense, as you said, was on the field excessively in the second half?
TRESSEL: I think they do a good job of blocking their scheme. Davis has got great patience. He lets things happen and then has a good burst. Were there various fronts and adjustments and secondary things attempted? Absolutely. Our guys are pretty good at that. I can't sit here and tell you what they were, but they won.
REPORTER: Coach, could you just elaborate on your thoughts of Zwick's performance today?
TRESSEL: Elaborate? Wasn't good enough for us to win. I thought we had some things open that maybe we could have hit, but sometimes until you're standing in those moccasins and you don't see what's going by your vision path and you watch the film and see what those guys saw, I think you can't be too hasty to say, you should have thrown it here or you should have hit that or whatever. Again, I don't think it was abysmal. I don't think it was extraordinary. I'm sure somewhere in between it lies and we'll go to work from that point. But I'm not disappointed that we took a step backwards or something from that standpoint, from Justin's.
REPORTER: Coach, could you talk about some of the things Wisconsin did offensively and defensively that surprised you?
TRESSEL: That surprised us?
REPORTER: That they threw at you that maybe you hadn't expected or was it just as you expected?
TRESSEL: Wisconsin is who they are and that's why they're good. They line up and they run the things that they run and they see how you're trying to stop them and they know what they do once they have to go to the next step. Defensively, I thought they did a good job of attempting to put pressure and trying to play good, close, aggressive coverage on the wide guys, but that's nothing different for them.
REPORTER: You said you were pleased with the effort. Is there anything else you would hang your hat on as you look to Iowa?
TRESSEL: I think the thing that — I guess there's two things that I would hang my hat on, number one, I think our kids played hard and our coaches coached hard and our fans yelled hard and the whole deal. Number two, I know the people that are in our room, in our meeting rooms, and they're going to watch the film and get better. We'll be ready to go for the next challenge and that's why I like these guys.
REPORTER: Coach, can you talk about Ted Ginn in the punt return and what that did for the team at the time?
TRESSEL: That was one of the things that we felt like we had to do to win this game. We had to come up with a couple special teams plays, felt like we needed to win the turnover margin and get a little momentum going from that point, throw it efficiently and so forth. At that moment, that obviously was huge and it was a great spark for us and he's a talented kid. I think our return teams, in general, we've worked very hard on them and I think they've been solid and that was an exciting one. I'm excited for him because once you've done it, you're going to have a chance to have the confidence to do it again.
REPORTER: Question for A. J., A. J. how frustrated are you in the fact you guys had to play so hard today and the last two games you haven't come up victorious? HAWK: I think anytime you lose, you're frustrated, but there's certain times you have to get off the field. We had a couple third and longs where we didn't execute, let them catch the ball down the middle, certain things here and there. It comes down to we have to stop them in crunch time. We didn't do that today or last week.
REPORTER: A. J., last week, I know the defense was disappointed. Maybe your pride was hurt a little bit. Do you feel that you didn't get redemption at how hard you played today without winning the ball game? You did play hard. HAWK: Yeah, but for us as a defense, I think we always want to play hard and we're not giving it anything less, so what it comes down to, it's still us, we don't get redemption from it, but the only thing we can do is see what we did wrong and come back and make sure we don't do that again against Iowa next week.
REPORTER: Jim, you talked about the return game. Can you just talk about what you saw of Santonio's fumble and obviously how key a play was that in the ball game?
TRESSEL: Well, that was a really difficult kick, punt, and as you watched it. Anytime you watch a punt, if the tip goes over, it's going to be fairly easy to catch. If the tip doesn't and starts to skid, it's going to be hard. He wasn't sure, I think, as I watched him, as to was that reachable. And I think just the competitive part of him said, you know, I'm going to reach this, and the ball was kind of skidding away from him and it was a tough catch and he didn't make the catch. Not because he didn't have great effort or didn't want to do good things for the team, but it was a very difficult punt to catch.
REPORTER: Jim, did you ever see anybody split what appeared to be five guys like Ted did? I know he's a world-class sprinter; are there different ways of getting him involved? .
TRESSEL: Teddy's going to be a heck of a ball player for us. The more he's in and around our system, we need to devise things because he can do some good things with the ball in his hand. He almost caught a little slant over there that could have looked like the same thing at one point in the third quarter, but we've got a ways to go and I don't know think any of us have ever questioned whether or not we're going to buckle down and get better and become a good football team and that's what the fun of it is, and that's what the challenge is, and getting guys like Ted Ginn opportunities and A.J. Hawk and all the rest, that's what we're here for.

I shared a post last week from the Pioneer Woman's blog, which said,
"...that's where faith comes in, whether you're in agriculture, tech, retail, mining, medicine, education, the ministry, or any other area of work. It's the humble acknowledgment of our frailties, flaws, and limits as human beings…and a relinquishment of our position at the driver's seat of our lives. It's a trust that whatever obstacles are thrown in our paths–storms, crashes, illnesses, broken relationships, tragedies, upheavals, deaths–we will be sustained through them. Even if the journey is a tough one. Even if the pain is great. It's freedom from the burden of worry, because tomorrow will take care of itself."
Now I've never been a believer in having tomorrow take care of itself - I have always liked to set up for my own tomorrows. I like to plan, and make assumptions, and believe I know what is coming. Both of these pieces of wisdom - Ree's and my mothers' - are meant to teach the same lesson: Plan all you want, sister, but be ready for a whole lot of something else.
If I hold on to what life pulls away, the only thing I get is my arm wrenched out of its socket, not to mention the damage I'm doing to the pulling end. Better: allow circumstances to stand or shift as they must. I myself have shifting to do. I will be faithful, my arm shall stay attached, and this is freedom.

On the day I retired from Transnation Title, Mark's 85-year-old Aunt Terry was diagnosed with lung cancer. Aunt Terry and I always shared a special bond so it was natural and fun to hang out with her, even while she was sick. After a couple of months of spending time with her, Mark suggested I share some of my days with my Auntie Sis who lives about 30 miles from our home in a little town called Shelby. I thought it was a great idea so I started visiting Auntie Sis, too.
For some reason I chose to visit Auntie Sis on Tuesdays. I had read and loved the book Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom, so maybe I thought the day had a magic to it or something. Even though Auntie Sis isn't sick, she lives alone, she is no longer able to drive and has trouble walking sometimes. She is my godmother and I have always felt close to her. Her husband Lee died many years ago and they never had children of their own but they always had plenty of wonderful nieces and nephews around. My cousins Linda Gosselin and Laurie Beckman are Auntie Sis' angels who make sure she has groceries, that her bills are paid and that she has rides to her appointments. They provide the balance and love in Auntie Sis' life and for that I'm grateful.
Auntie Sis' brother Tuffy (Lavern) lived about 10 miles away from her in another small Michigan town called Hart. Uncle Tuff lived at the Oceana County Medical Care Facility so we would visit him on Tuesdays as well. Uncle Tuff was always a delight to visit because he was always interested in what my family was doing and knew many specifics about my life. He had a beautiful smile, a great sense of humor and was brutally honest, which always made us laugh. His caregivers loved him and he loved them in return. Sadly, Uncle Tuffy died earlier this week, so now Auntie Sis is the only one of my dad's siblings who's still alive. We will miss Uncle Tuffy and his beautiful smile.
I believe the best part about visiting my aunt and uncle was that I learned a lot about my parents when they were young. My mom grew up in Hart and my dad in Shelby so when I would visit I would run into people that knew them long ago and they'd share stories. For some reason I stopped my Tuesday visits with Auntie Sis and Uncle Tuff after my diagnosis, but I still have wonderful memories from our time together. My brother Jim has taken over my Tuesdays with Auntie Sis and that makes me happy.
Oddly enough, I'd always thought of Auntie Sis as the Morrie in my life, but maybe I was the Morrie in hers.

I just called up this brewco, because I went to their website, and all their info had vanished. Well, whoever I talked to said that they're no longer bottling their beer, and apparently they're planning to change their name and brand to Sequoia Brewing in the near future.

Data management is a process of acquiring, validating, storing, protecting and processing data for the timeliness of data for its users. Living in a world that literally runs on social media it is a quiet complicated process to store the same in hard copies. Data management is what keeps us all stress free regarding the storage of our most important documentation.
One of the major factors that contribute to a successful business is its data management.
Here are a few reasons why data management is important
- EASY AVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION – One of the primary reasons for managing data is its easy and immediate availability when required. A person keeps data documented and well managed so as to quickly go through it in times of emergency. Also, the right people should be hired to take care of the same like gartner master data management.
- PROTECTION OF BUSINESS INTERESTS – This is another major factor contributing to the now a days successfully running companies. Big companies thrive on data management. So as to keep their best foot forward they always keep their documents secured. With this act is process, the future next generation of employees who take over the company might one day need all the knowledge accumulated by their predecessors. Thus, managing documents carefully is essential for the functional and operational well-being of the company.
- KEEPING UP WITH CHANGING TIMES – Companies are constantly upgrading their technology in todays life. A Word document, that works perfectly fine today might stop working when the technology gets upgraded five years down the line to another platform or software.Hence, you need specialists to maintain the data and make sure that all the information is transferred seamlessly from one platform to another. Ensuring there is no loss of data.
- INFORMATION IS ALWAYS VALUABLE – Technology companies have bulk volumes of data that they have accumulated over the years and which they have to maintain for quite a long time. All the information concerning an application's design, construction, modification, marketing, usage, strengths and weaknesses, could prove to be extremely valuable at any point of time.
- SAVES TIME – Inadequate and improper data management can lead to considerable loss of efficiency and time together. Time spent looking for lost or misplaced documents and files can negatively impact productivity. If data is well managed there are barely any such situations faced which in return save a lot of time and efficiency.
These were a few reasons why I think master data management is extremely important. Don't forget to check out my previous blog on FASHION AND PREGNANCY

New minister for north-east church
Published on 3 August, 2017
A former professional musician has been inducted as the minister of an Aberdeenshire church.
Rev Rodolphe Blanchard-Kowal, who is French, will serve at Portlethen Parish Church for three years.
The post was arranged through the Ministries Council and the World Mission Council of the Church of Scotland, which is partnered with his denomination, the United Protestant Church of France.
Mr Blanchard-Kowal, who was ordained as a minister six years ago, is no stranger to the north-east.
The 44-year-old, who is married to Virginie with whom he has three children, spent a month training at St Machar's Cathedral in Aberdeen in 2007.
Mr Blanchard-Kowal, who grew up in Paris and led a church in Cognac in the south-west of France, said: "I am very pleased to have been inducted into Portlethen Parish Church.
"I love Scotland and the north-east is a very familiar area so that is why I chose to come here."
Mr Blanchard-Kowal said his new congregation had given him and his family a very warm welcome since their arrival last month.
"Everyone is very friendly and I am adjusting to different things," he added.
"I come from a country where Protestants are a minority group but here in Scotland, it is the main church for the people.
"Ministers are well known in the community here compared to France where most people just know the Catholic priest."
Mr Blanchard-Kowal said his wife and children, Paul, 14, Louis, 12, and Zacharie, 3, had fallen in love with Aberdeenshire.
"We enjoy the outdoors, walking in the hills, forests and on the seashore where we have been very lucky to see dolphins," he added.
"We love the Cairngorms National Park and what I appreciate a lot is the fresh air which is very good for sport and being healthy.
"The water is very pure – I really enjoy this climate but I have not experienced winter yet."
Mr Blanchard-Kowal was a professional Baroque musician before becoming a minister.
"I plan to play a lot of music during my time in Portlethen and will perform at a concert in the Jubilee Hall with my family next month," he added.
"My wife is a singer and my two oldest children play the harpsicord."
Portlethen Parish Church has been without a permanent minister since December, 2015 when Rev Dr Flora Munro retired.
Session Clerk Alison Harris said: "We are thoroughly delighted to welcome Rev Rodolphe Blanchard-Kowal and his family.
"We look forward to working with him, sharing customs and being a family together.
"It will be a different experience as we will learn more about the world and probably ourselves too.
"Rodolphe and his young family are very musical.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for the church as we have many young families here.
"The town is very vibrant in music too as we have a ceilidh band, concert band and orchestra at Portlethen Academy."
World Mission Council Twinning and Local Development Secretary Carol Finlay said: "Having supported Rodolphe Blanchard-Kowal when he was a Faithshare Partner at St Machar's Cathedral, we are delighted that he and his family have returned to Scotland and look forward to sharing in his ministry."

The League of Women Voters of Knoxville - Knox County put a rich, full year behind us in 2010. Looking ahead to the next six months of 2011, you can count on the League to give you some great opportunities to impact local government and elections, and citizen education.
The League Observer Corps' latest success is promoting higher standards of civility and adherence to the law. Just last week, we heard that the Observer Corps is helping to change land use decisions of the Board of Zoning Appeals. Daniel Sanders, a Knox County attorney and new advisor to the BZA, has been guiding those members to follow the ordinance closely for this past year. We know that in earlier decisions, the BZA has not always followed the ordinance so closely. Sanders said the League's observation of BZA meetings gives him the leverage to keep the BZA members focused and following their well-defined responsibilities. This was the highest form of compliment, because for League members, maintaining due process and good government is the pinnacle of success! Aren't you proud to be a member?
I'm also proud to say we have made similar headway with others in local government. Several highly ranked public officials have asked for the League's feedback recently on the conduct of public meetings and have welcomed our partnership. I hope you all share the excitement I feel and my ambition to keep up the momentum. It's happening because we show up, we observe and we care.
Observing is powerful! If you are looking for an opportunity to make a difference this year, with just a few hours one evening a month you can join us in improving the quality of local government. Or help us with the upcoming mayoral election season or voter registration. Give me a call or email today and start something meaningful this year.

Welcome to the Nanofibers for Energy Storage and Conversion Laboratory at Drexel University. We combine experiments and simulations to study structure-property performance correlation in nanofiber-based novel materials for energy storage and conversion devices including fuel cells, super-capacitors, batteries and solar cells.
To this end, we have two primary research thrusts in our group. We seek to understand the science of equilibrium and non-equilibrium material assembly under external fields such as extensional flow and nano-confinement using both experiments and computational modeling and simulations. In addition, we seek to develop unique design strategies to achieve material architectures that provide novel combinations of functionalities and simultaneous transport of multiple species with the aim to develop efficient energy storage and conversion devices such as supercapacitors, batteries and fuel cells.
