It is an applied research which leads to a written report in English and its presentation before a jury composed by the tutor and the partner if possible and relevant. This applied research is an integral part of the training programme and it is monitored by a tutor.
The month of December will be specifically dedicated to work on this project.
During the second semester, even if students are abroad, they have to organize themselves to work on this project.
The grade given on this work will be included in the final transcript.
To work as a team during the whole training period to sort out a humanitarian and/or development management issue.
This project will require:
- To write a report in English (20,000 – 25,000 words) which may remain confidential; it is possible to write a summary for the organisation in a foreign language if required. Students have to submit the final report to the tutor 15 days before the oral presentation. The deadline for the oral presentation is mid-november 2014 (15 November 2014);
- To write a case study-based summary;
- To prepare the oral presentation to the jury in English.
Students involved in this applied research are from the MSc in Humanitarian Programme Management delivered by ESC Grenoble and Bioforce.
- A specific humanitarian and/or development management issue is defined.
- A bibliographical research is consolidated.
- Concrete proposals and outlooks are drawn up.
- A critical analysis is provided.
- Relevant recommendations are made.
The definition of the issue has to be validated by both Bioforce and ESC Grenoble. A specific deadline will be communicated by Bioforce.
Rigor in diagnostic, analysis and facts interpretations, as well as recommendations will be required.
This work aims to support organizations in their development and functioning. In this way, we expect students to be creative (while being realist) and to practice benchmarks. This research work is neither an operational mission nor a counseling one. The report presented is not an internship report.
Usually, ESC Grenoble students have to write a "Grand mémoire" during their enrollment. As they already write a specific applied research report, they benefit from an exemption of this "Grand mémoire".
Students from the MSc in HPM have to realize an assignment, after their study period, during 20 weeks at least. The presentation before a jury must be done before the 15th of November 2014.
The aim of this assignment is to reinforce students' autonomy and to further develop their skills as a humanitarian programme manager in the humanitarian and development sector.
Students are to submit to Bioforce assignment terms of reference in order to be validated. As a second step, the ESC Grenoble will give the final validation.
The ESC Grenoble is in charge of all administrative issues regarding the assignment.
The evaluation process for the assignment is the following:
- A written report including :
- a context (region, country, organisation, programme, …) presentation,
- a description and analysis of the objectives and results obtained,
- an analysis of the key challenges faced during the assignment,
- an analysis of the impact of the training period on their professional capacities as a humanitarian programme manager.
- An oral presentation before a jury.
The final mark will be a global mark including the written report and the oral presentation.

At the end of the classroom portion of the program, each student will be required to complete a Final Management Project of approximately 20,000 words in length under the guidance of a GGSB professor.
In order to successfully complete the Final Management Project, students are required to address a particular research question or knowledge gap in their field of study.
This research should be business-oriented and coherent with the program's objectives. A student may choose to write the Final Management Project on a topic grounded in his or her internship experience.
Live Business Cases
During this program, participants will have the opportunity to become real-life business developers by exploring a Live Business Case provided by companies working in partnerships with the MSc Innovation, Strategy, and Entrepreneurship program. Students will work in groups and delve deeply into their cases during the seven months from October to June under the supervision of a GGSB coach.The Live Business Cases are launched by a briefing given by the company.
- Innovation, entrepreneurship, and management issues from an integrated, holistic perspective.
- A capstone opportunity for students to apply theoretical principles from coursework and lectures.
- Build a company analysis
- Select and apply a methodology, and make useful and efficient recommendations.
- Understand the Business Development process
- Provide critical analysis
- Make strategic decisions
- Work in a small multicultural group under time constraints
- Produce compelling written and oral presentations
- Demonstrate communication, negotiation and leadership skills
At the end of the seven-month Live Business Case, each group will produce a written report and make an oral presentation to the Jury and other groups from the program. The Jury consists of the company coach, the school coach, and the program director.
This course/workshop is an introduction to all group assignments to be carried out all through the year. In order to help you to be efficient when working in small groups, you need to know not only your personal strengths and improvement points but also those of your class.
By discovering them during this course, you will be able to imagine together how to leverage the strengths of your class and how to manage your improvement points. You have to manage the classroom as a company, so we will appoint different representatives in charge of the main aspects of the construction of the class as a performing team: event manager, class representative, timekeeper, project leader, MSc community leader, and Alumni communication and coordination manager. These representatives and their teams will draft an action plan for the coming year.

- Experience a unique learning environment in working with people from different nationalities, culture and academic backgrounds and sharing the same interest in international people management
- Acquire an understanding of global business and culture and extend their international network.
The mission of the MSc International Human Resource Management and Organizational Development is to build the abilities and skills necessary for future managers to recruit, manage and enhance talent while facilitating change in multicultural and international environments. The program provides an understanding of the approach to handling international human resource management operations and the differences in international and domestic HRM.
Through a blending of theory and practice, using case studies and applied learning, students will develop the competencies to understand the HR issues facing business today and positively impact organizational structure and dynamics.
The MSc International Human Resource Management and Organizational Development focuses on the human resource and organizational issues facing companies that operate in the global market. It aims to train managers able to contribute to corporate performance and social responsibility through the effective management of the company's most valuable asset: its men and women.
"The MSc in International Human Resource Management and Organizational Development combines theoretical knowledge with a strong technical and practical orientation to enable students to master key operational know-how and soft skills. Students will be able to apply this knowledge to decision-making in HR and organizational development within different geographical contexts. The program has an international focus, as an ever-increasing globalization of business impacts HRM.
Program delivery relies on a mixture of pedagogical methods and techniques from traditional to interactive lectures, e-learning activities, readings, exercises, case studies, presentations, simulations, individual and multicultural team-based work.
Students will also experiment a course based on a new pedagogy: serious games.
The Final Management Project - a supervised research paper of 20,000 words - allows students to become experts in an HR-related topic of their choice covering not only technical concepts, but also professional practices and implications."
Sabine Lauria
The program explores how HR strategy fits into overall corporate strategy, the key differences between International Human Resource Management (IHRM) and domestic HRM, and the skills required to recruit, manage and enhance talent.

5) Research Methodology and Final Management Project Workshop
In addition to the core courses, students can attend personal and professional development workshops. These workshops cover current topics of interest, recent trends in management and career development. They serve as a complement to the core modules.
Students will select a company with international business located in different national culture. The purpose is to evaluate the impact of organization design on human resources roles and responsibilities. The objective is to gather public and internal information to develop their own analysis of the situation.
The program encourages effective teamwork as the major part of modules expects students to work in groups. These groups will consist of students of different nationalities and rhythms, as some students attend courses part-time.
A research techniques module has been created to provide the skills required to effectively work on the Final Management Projects and on future professional projects.
The second year of the program is dedicated to the Final Management Project, a written work of approximately 20,000 words, conducted under the supervision of a tutor from GGSB. Students will choose an aspect of International HR Management and are encouraged to link the chosen subject matter to their future career. The project can be completed in parallel with full-time employment or an internship based in France or abroad.
Operating in an international environment requires foreign language fluency and therefore a foreign language module is an option on the program for all students.
Non-French speakers may study French (beginner to advanced level). This option is highly advised for those who are looking to become professionals in France. French speakers may choose from a number of other languages at beginner level.
Graduates of this MSc program will be qualified for posts in both multinational corporations and companies experiencing rapid expansion in international markets.
Graduates may equally enter the consulting field in the areas of HR and organizational development.
This postgraduate MSc program is open to both young and mature graduates from any field and with no or limited work experience. Candidates should have excellent interpersonal skills, good oral and communication written skills and a strong motivation for international relations and business.

The Voice Finland Contestant Gets A Spot Singing Slipknot
A contestant on Finland's version of The Voice won over a judge with an unlikely song for the hit show - Slipknot's "Psychosocial."
Jani Korpela confused some of the judges with his rendition of the song, but fortunately for him, one of the judges was Hanoi Rocks' Michael Monroe, who loved Jani's performance so much that he pushed his button halfway through the song and was jumping out of his chair.
Jani is no stranger to singing - he has a band called Red Raven Down and you can hear their music here.

Sean Richard Creter is already well-known around the office. Business associates at Creter Vault Corp. say this company's future leader "takes over whenever he's there." The energetic 2-year-old, who already looks the part of a concrete man, represents the traditional path of the producer's managerial future. He is the sixth-generation family member walking (although just barely) in the family footsteps.
Most producers, however, can't guarantee the next generation will be there to carry the torch. Ultimately, it's up to each one to attract strong candidates. But with the backing of industry associations, this quest can be less daunting. Practically every association now has a committee focusing on recruitment.
From human resources meetings to boardrooms and national conferences, producers and associations are addressing this question. Individually and in collaboration, they are hoping to find an answer before the effect of a labor shortage hits the bottom line.
They are every concrete producer's biggest assets: trained drivers, educated technical professionals, and knowledgeable sales people. But where will we find the elusive skilled workforce of the future?
Improving our image
Recruiting and retention experts have discovered an underlying issue essential to the future of the industry. Educating students, hosting competitions, and training employees will only go so far if the industry itself is not attractive.
Tom Pittman, chairman-elect of the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association's (NRMCA) Education Activities Committee for 2007, offers an analogy: "Imagine you graduate from school with two options," he says. "Behind the first door you see a dirty job, long hours, and a certain level of pay. Behind a second door, you get to work at a computer all day and sit in an office with the same level of pay. Which would you choose? We have to make the industry more attractive to young people. It has to be seen as a profession."
The industry's investment in young people also goes further than simply growing the candidate pool. When students and young professionals learn about new products and technologies, they are on the cutting edge. Their employers and the industry become increasingly competitive. Continued collaboration between producers and associations strengthen this trend.
"Efforts in the past have been splintered," says Butch Hardy, president of Oldcastle Adams Products in Morrisville, N.C., and a member of the National Concrete Masonry Association's (NCMA) Workforce Development Committee. We're going to have to work together as an industry to have a big enough influence to change minds. It's going to take a large, unified effort."

By Dale Kasler Sacramento Bee
The NBA expects to make its final decision on the fate of the Sacramento Kings on or about May 13, commissioner David Stern said Thursday.
If that date holds up, the decision by the NBA Board of Governors would come two full weeks after the recommendation is issued by a committee of 12 team owners studying the Kings' situation.
Speaking to a group of sports editors in New York, Stern reiterated that the proposed sale and relocation of the team to Seattle remains a difficult question for the league.
"One of the cities is going to be disappointed," he said, according to a tweet by the Associated Press Sports Editors.
Earlier Thursday, league spokesman Mike Bass said the committee vetting the two competing offers for the Kings will meet by conference call Monday to issue its recommendation.
The final vote by the Board of Governors couldn't come until May 8 or 9 anyway. Under NBA rules, the board, which consists of all the team owners, must wait seven business days before acting on the committee's recommendation.
The committee must decide between the Maloof family's pending sale to an investor group from Seattle and a counter-offer made by a group seeking to keep the team in Sacramento.
The Maloofs agreed to sell their 65 percent share of the team to hedge fund manager Chris Hansen and Microsoft Corp. CEO Steve Ballmer for a sweetened offer of $357 million. A group of eight investors, led by Silicon Valley executive Vivek Ranadive, has mounted a bid that matches Hansen-Ballmer's original offer of $341 million.
Last week, in a letter to the NBA, the Maloofs complained that the Ranadive bid is inadequate financially and not firm enough. But Stern told reporters last Friday that he considers the Ranadive proposal a binding offer. He added that the two bids are "in the same ballpark with respect to the net result to the selling family."
On Wednesday, California state senator Darrell Steinberg unveiled his long-awaited proposal to rewrite California's environmental law. He said his plan would help speed up construction of a new arena for the Kings.
Stern has said a critical issue in determining the Kings' fate is the timeline for building a new arena in either city.

The missing piece in the mma jigsaw. I predict that knees to the head on the ground will become the norm soon, when I don't know but they will come. Whether or not your a Pride FC fan (most secretly are) you got to sense it's the next level in MMA?
I would suggest that mma fighters and coaches start preparing or at least considering the game with these rules. As the knee strike has always been my favour technique I have been working on these on the ground to the head at my SSJ gym for a while purely just out of curiosity and its a definately game changer.
Let see...

The park district of San José has embarked on a serious program to restore and renew the green areas of the city. Under the auspices of this program, known as Socios Ambientales, or Environmental Partners, the city works together with individuals to protect nature in urban areas. The municipality has chosen plants that are native to the city and appropriate for urban life. The municipality encourages business owners to plant these particular trees in sidewalk planters or to grow these native flowers in the city's park areas. The individual business owners are then responsible for the care and watering of these plants. The idea is to promote the growth of native flora and fauna and to encourage individuals to take an active role in restoring the beauty of their city.
The Sleep Inn is doing its part to revive the green areas in the city and to protect the environment in general. In honor of its third anniversary, the Sleep Inn recently planted several trees around the edge of its property. These trees are of two types, selected by the city for their appropriateness to the urban climate and for their attractiveness to birds and other animals. The first type of tree produces a fruit that birds enjoy, and the other attracts hummingbirds when in full flower. The plan, according to hotel manager Horlando Salas, is to help restore San José's natural beauty and to draw birds and other animals back into the center of the city.
The new trees are only part of the Sleep Inn's overall effort to protect the environment. The hotel is currently working with the Costa Rican Tourism Institute (ICT) to qualify for a certificate in environmental sustainability. To that end, the hotel has implemented energy-saving and recycling programs in both the hotel and casino buildings. Each hotel department has been working toward more efficient use of natural resources and more environmentally sound cleaning and waste-management practices.
Mr. Salas hopes that local businesses will work together with the Sleep Inn to protect and restore San José's natural beauty.

America - An Abomination That Maketh Desolate!
"But when ye shall see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:…..For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days."
Mark 13:14, 19-20
"Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord."
Matthew 23:36-39
"And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him. But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. For, behold the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, fall on us, and to the hills, cover us. For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?"
Luke 23:27-31
In this issue of the Last Trumpet, we will examine with great amazement the depth of the spiritual condition that now exists in the United States of America. We are living in a strange time and under the shadow of a strange and clandestine false light. The erstwhile great nation of the United States is now entering a time of trouble such as never thought to be possible. Why are some areas in record drought conditions and many others areas ravaged by continual storms? Why is it that every time there are major election primaries in various states, a swarm of tornadoes rips through entire states? Remember February 6th, "Super Tuesday", when forty-four massive killer tornadoes devastated large areas of six southern states? On the morning of the 6th day of February, six states awakened to destruction so severe that it looked like an atomic bomb had been dropped. Six days later, there was another major primary, and more tornadoes occurred. Could it be that the Lord is not pleased with the candidates that are running for the high office of President of the United States? How long will it be until a final antichrist rises up, and all remaining Scriptural prophecies are rapidly fulfilled?
The above Bible verses tell every discerning Christian that there is something to watch for. It is called "the abomination that maketh desolate." Many people who have heard of this suppose that it refers to an image or idol that is set up; and people are induced, and even forced, to worship it. There is much more to it than that if we understand the depth of the metaphor of the prophecy. What is the abomination of desolation that Jesus referred to and Daniel the prophet spoke of? What abomination did Israel repeatedly commit that made them desolate? The answer is exceedingly clear: it was the constant rejection of the prophets, the Word of God, and ultimately the Son of God himself. After enough time had gone by, a certain line was crossed, and God himself pronounced them and their house desolate. The only remedy for them would be Jesus Christ and His saving grace. But what happens to a nation that continually rejects the true Lord Jesus Christ and His saving grace? What is left but desolation? Has the United States crossed that line? Why have we become a nation of drunken, drugged, sex-crazed, and baby-killing people? We are a society in deep debt and deep sin, and a people filled with blasphemy. At the same time, we have rejected the true Saviour for religion, ritual, and self-righteousness. Nearly all so-called "Christian" churches today are so vile that no true Christian could attend one. It has never been like this before.
We also know that nearly the entire population of the United States has been transformed into human images of the beast. This has been accomplished by means of computers, cable and satellite television, and other electronic media. People have been methodically transformed under the guise of entertainment, and they are now under satanic beast control. The people of society in general now look, act, and talk like the beast; and this is intensifying. People are ripe for the picking, and the powers of antichrist are ready for the one-world harvesting of souls to begin. Everything is now in place for world takeover. This very thing was foretold in James 5:5-6 as follows: "Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you." It is now time for everyone who is reading this newsletter to seek the Lord in the depth of prayer. The Saviour will hear you and send you the blessed presence of the Holy Ghost. You need Him and time is almost gone. The abomination of desolation is everywhere, but you can be saved from it!
Two Great Religions Rising!
In these final days before the return of our Saviour to this troubled planet, two powerful religions are rising up as powerful spiritual forces. One is the religion of Islam, or the Moslems. The other is a strange, amalgamated pseudo-Christianity with the Vatican as its core. This latter emerging religion is like a many headed hydra monster rising up out of the sea of humanity.
In the United States we are seeing a dramatic high-profiling of Islam. At the end of January 2008, the Iowa State Legislature session was opened with prayer by Mohammed Khan, the imam of the Islamic Center in Des Moines, Iowa. This was done at the request of Iowa State Representative Ako Abdul-Samad, who has questionable ties with Moslem extremists. (1) It was a four-minute prayer to Allah for victory over those who disbelieve and for protection from the "Great Satan." (2) Here let it be noted that among Islamic extremists, the "Great Satan" is the United States of America.
In April 2007, Imam Yusuf Kavakei of the Dallas Central Mosque was invited to open the Texas Senate with the first Islamic prayer. This was done in answer to the invitation given by the Texas Lieutenant Governor and a state senator. Before the prayer was given, the imam read from the opening chapter of the Koran, "Al-Fatehah", which included the words: "All praise is for Allah, our lord, the lord of the worlds, the compassionate, the merciful, master of the day of judgments Oh, God, Allah, you alone we worship, and you alone we call on for help. Oh, Allah, guide us to the straight path, the path of those whom you have favored, not of those who have earned your wrath, or of those who have lost the way." Here let it be noted that in Moslem jargon, those who have earned wrath are the Jews, and those who have lost the way are Christians! (3) Similar things are going on in other states as well.
While Islam is the rising religion in the United States, I must also mention that Hinduism is being amplified as well. We remember that last year U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid invited Nevada Hindu Rajan Zed to offer a Hindu prayer in the U.S. Senate. Now, this same Hindu leader opened the Colorado State Senate by chanting the Gayatri Mantra from the Rig-Veda, complete with its series of om, om, om (also spelled aom). We must also note that it is forbidden to open these sessions using the name Jesus. (4)
Now we have a front-running Presidential candidate who is a closet Moslem. Barack Hussein Obama, a young man with charisma and a mission, could very well be the next President of the United States. As such, this ultra left-wing liberal would also be the Commander-in-Chief of our armed forces, and the man who would appoint the next three Supreme Court justices. We know that Mr. Obama claims that he joined the United Church of Christ, but no one has ever become a true Christian by joining a church. This is all a convenient front to be used when advantageous to do so. This is the man who attracted a cheering crowd of 17,000 people in Madison, Wisconsin. This crowd went completely berserk over Obama. This sort of thing has been happening everywhere he goes. The radical supporters of Barack Hussein Obama sometimes refer to him as "something akin to a messiah", and his campaign is being called, "Obama's first coming" by some. (5) Obama is also being fully endorsed by Senator Ted Kennedy and the Kennedy family. He is being presented as another John F. Kennedy. Many are saying that the rallies have the same feel as the John F. Kennedy rallies of the 1960's. (6)
Who is Barack Hussein Obama? His biography is easy to research and anyone can do it. In my research I have discovered the following: He was born in Hawaii to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black Muslim from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya; and Ann Dunham, a white atheist from Wichita, Kansas. When the junior Obama was two years old, his parents divorced, and his father returned to Kenya. His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, who was a radical Muslim from Indonesia. At age six, Barack H. Obama, Jr., moved to Indonesia with his mother and step-father, where he attended a Muslim school but also spent two years in a Catholic school. Obama sometimes conceals his Muslim roots by emphasizing that he attended a Catholic school. Obama's step-father is the one who introduced him to Islam, and he enrolled young Barack in a Wahabi school in Jakarta. Here let it be noted that Wahabism is a Radical teaching embraced by Muslim terrorists waging their holy war against the United States. Barack Obama's membership in the United Church of Christ is nothing more than a ruse. One more thing to remember is that the radical Moslems have continually stated that they will destroy the United States from within!
One very interesting thing also happened on the Republican side of the campaign for President. Once John McCain became the front-runner, the symbol of the Republican Party changed. Traditionally, it has been the image of an elephant colored red and blue surrounded by three white five-pointed stars with one point up and two points down. Now it appears with the three white stars having two points up and one point down. This is the symbol for Satanism, and it represents the horns of the goat of Mendes, or Baphomet. This is the very symbol of black magic tripled. I saw this new symbol in a few places but wanted to research it more. That very day I saw it on CNN News. Anyone wanting to verify this should have no problem finding it. Some have suggested that the new design was first used when George W. Bush first became President by Supreme Court decision on the 13th day of December 2000. I did not notice it until McCain became the front-runner. (7)
The other strange religion now rising, as previously mentioned, is the admixture of Roman Catholicism with almost everything else. In Venice, Italy, the church known as Our Lady of Assumption of Ponzano opens its doors to as many as 1,200 Moslems every Friday night. These Moslems all bow on their knees, with faces to the floor, and pray to Allah. The Parish Pastor is Don Aldo Danieli, and the whole operation has the Pope's blessing. (8) This is the same Pope, who on the 13th day of January chose to baptize thirteen babies at the foot of a fresco called "Last Judgment"! (9) Roman Catholicism is trying to unite all of the religions of the world based on a satanic compromise.
The Rising Global Dictatorship!
So much is happening so quickly, and the beast government is upon us beyond a shadow of a doubt. In a previous issue of the Last Trumpet, I reported that the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or FBI, is building a massive data base of detailed information on every person in America and on the individuals from other nations as well. This database will include fingerprints, iris scans, eye patterns, facial shapes, and so on. On February 4th, 2008, the FBI also stated that they will include tattoos in their data base. (10) Now we have learned that a high-tech company called Somark Innovations has developed and successfully tested a special ink that can be tattooed into the skin permanently, giving off radio frequency identification information. In other words, the microchip may not be needed to mark animals and humans. The same results could be achieved by an invisible tattoo that works with a proximity reader without even being directly scanned. This electronic ink would contain whatever information is needed regarding the person to whom it is applied. The device that reads the tattoo operates on a very high frequency, and the whole system is chipless and antenna-free. (11)
Without a doubt, the world-wide web and the hundreds of millions of computers interacting in it are the very electronic brain of the satanic beast himself. In Greece on January 14th, 2008, the television station ERT World featured an amazing story. The reporter from Patras called attention to the Mayor of the city, Andreas Fouras, who declared the beginning of the carnival season. The theme was the "history of communication", and it featured the computer. The King of the Carnival was then presented as a Wizard of the Computer, and it was said that he would give soul, meaning life, to the lifeless computers. (12) I immediately thought of Revelation 13:15 which reads as follows: "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."
We have also been watching the rise of the European Union, also called United States of Europe. Now we have learned that erstwhile British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who recently turned Roman Catholic, is in line to be the President of Europe. Blair recently stated with certainty, "I'll be President of Europe if you give me the power." (13) We must also remember that the Euro currency is rapidly becoming the hallmark currency of the world.
On January 22nd, 2008, something astounding happened. Prince Charles of Britain made a speech to Abu Dhabi regarding environmental issues. He stood before his audience as a full, life-size and three-dimensional person while he was seven thousand miles away. He appeared as a perfect hologram, and one would not be able to tell the difference between this hologram and a real-life appearance. It was that perfect. When the speech was over, he vanished before the very eyes of the audience as his body image disintegrated into thousands of light particles and disappeared. (14) This sort of electronic marvel is Satan's attempt to be omnipresent. Can you imagine the possibilities? With such technology it would be possible to stage a false second coming of Christ, saying, "Lo, here is Christ, or lo, he is there!"

Design firms Aditazz and Mazzetti Nash Lipsey Burch with Perkins+Will win competition rewarding cutting-edge, sustainable design for healthcare.
Design firms Aditazz and Mazzetti Nash Lipsey Burch with Perkins+Will win competition rewarding sustainable design for healthcare.
OAKLAND, Calif.—Kaiser Permanente has named both Aditazz and Mazzetti Nash Lipsey Burch with Perkins+Will as winners in its international Small Hospital, Big Idea competition.
The Aditazz and M+NLB/ Perkins+Will teams were selected by a design jury for their small hospital designs that:
The teams were selected after an 11-month evaluation process that recently concluded in Los Angeles when the three finalists presented their designs for a small, net-zero-energy hospital that uses new technology to improve health care delivery and outcomes.
"Kaiser Permanente is enormously grateful for the hard work and thought Aditazz and Mazzetti Nash Lipsey Burch and Perkins+Will put into their designs. Together, they offer us a fresh new approach to delivering care in a way that reinforces our commitment to providing exceptional and convenient care to our members and to building healthy communities," says Benjamin Chu, MD, MPH, group president of Kaiser Permanente Southern California and Hawaii regions.
"For Kaiser Permanente, sustainability is a health issue. We aspire to provide health care in a way that protects and enhances the environment, now and for future generations. This is an important step in that direction," adds Dr. Chu.
The Small Hospital, Big Idea design competition launched in February 2011, seeking ideas for a small hospital that provides a patient-centered healing environment with a near-zero energy impact on the environment while using the latest technology to improve quality and reduce costs.
Aditazz and M+NLB with Perkins+Will were selected over a submission by finalist Gresham, Smith & Partners.
Both Aditazz's and M+NLB with Perkins+Will's designs include compelling ideas for such features as intimate patient-healing gardens and vibrant public spaces, as well as onsite renewable energy systems. The jury decided during final deliberations that these two teams together offered an exciting, game-changing approach to improving the quality and personalization of care, and the development of healthy communities.
As winners, Aditazz and M+NLB with Perkins+Will are eligible to contract with Kaiser Permanente for a small hospital project. The new small hospital is tentatively planned for Southern California, and the model will be adapted for use in other markets as well.
After years of experience building larger hospitals, and faced with the need for smaller hospitals to serve members in outlying, suburban communities, Kaiser Permanente launched the design competition to cast its net wider in the search for the brightest ideas in health care design and delivery. The competition generated widespread interest, with more than 108 design concepts submitted from around the world. After a rigorous evaluation process that narrowed the list to nine semifinalists, the design jury selected three finalists last May.
The finalists spent the next eight months evolving their initial concepts into modified schematic design packages, with detailed drawings, cost projections and thorough analyses to support their ideas. These proposals ran to several hundred pages. The finalists assembled teams of some of the world's top minds in health care design, technology and architecture, who later previewed their designs with Kaiser Permanente caregivers and staff for reactions and insights. The finalists submitted their final plans for a small hospital on Jan. 31.
Designs were judged on such factors as efficiency, including their sustainability features; innovation; life-cycle costs, incorporation of methods to improve health outcomes; flexibility; and environment of care, including how successfully the design integrates the hospital into the local community.
"This has been an arduous process for all of the teams, but the results have yielded an abundance of ideas that could shape how the health care industry responds to changing demographics, technology and expectations," says David Allison, professor of graduate studies in architecture and health at Clemson University, and one of three architects on the jury. "The competition challenged us to think broadly about sustainability to include operational sustainability and economic sustainability, in addition to environmental health, as necessary attributes of a successful small hospital."
Other jury members included Charles Siconolfi, director of health care planning and design for HOK; Marilyn Chow, vice president of National Patient Care Services at Kaiser Permanente; and Jeffrey D. Selberg, executive vice president and chief operating officer of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement.
The competition builds upon Kaiser Permanente's long history of environmental stewardship and green hospital design. Through its green building efforts, Kaiser Permanente saves more than $10 million per year and has eliminated the purchase and disposal of 40 tons of harmful chemicals in its facilities.

I was wondering what most people have got?
I have already got Caged Steel MMA fight and sparring gloves, but need a pair of proper sparring boxing gloves.
Any advise or recommendations are appreciated. Ideally I dont want to spend more than £50.
I quite like the Hayabusa 16oz Sparring Gloves priced at £49.99 but unsure if they are the best for the money etc, and as mentioned, the correct weight I should be going for.
