General Description
Johns Hopkins University seeks a collaborative, strategic and results-oriented leader to serve as Vice Provost for Diversity & Inclusion and Chief Diversity Officer (VP/CDO). Considered the nation's first research university, Johns Hopkins is a destination for excellent, ambitious scholars and a world leader in teaching and research, dedicated to academic excellence, independence of thought, and equality of opportunity. Johns Hopkins enrolls more than 21,000 students full-time and part-time students in nine academic divisions on four campuses - two in Baltimore; one in Washington, D.C; one in Montgomery County, Maryland; and facilities throughout the Baltimore-Washington region as well as in China (Nanjing) and Italy (Bologna). Johns Hopkins ranks number one in federally-funded research and development and conducts research, educational, or related activities in more than 150 countries around the world. The University's strategic plan, the "Ten by Twenty," affirms the University's commitment to a set of strategic priorities - collaborating across disciplines as One University; supporting individual excellence of faculty, students, and staff; enriching connections to local, national, and international communities; and building a stronger university. As part of this effort, Johns Hopkins released the JHU Roadmap on Diversity and Inclusion in 2016 laying out the university's commitments to achieving progress and fostering steady, tangible and demonstrable change.
Johns Hopkins has created the new position of VP/CDO to provide vision and intellectual leadership and to lead, coordinate, and facilitate the university's efforts in diversity and inclusion. Reporting to the Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, the VP/CDO will co-chair the Johns Hopkins Institutions Diversity Leadership Council (DLC). The VP/CDO will work in partnership with the deans and other campus leaders to position diversity as one of the university's key competitive advantages, to center diversity work in the mission of the university, and to capitalize on the varied ways diversity and inclusion can be embedded in the university's curriculum, infrastructure, policies, and programs. The VP/CDO will have primary responsibility for ensuring that the university meets its commitments in the Roadmap and for engaging with faculty, staff, and students from across the institution to advance the diversity agenda outlined therein. The VP/CDO serves on the Provost's Leadership group and works closely with senior administrators, including the Vice Provost for Institutional Equity, and operational colleagues, to advance a proactive agenda and respond to emerging issues around diversity and inclusion within and across the schools. The VP/CDO will partner with the Vice President and Chief Diversity Officer for Johns Hopkins Medicine to develop and coordinate diversity efforts between the university and Johns Hopkins Medicine. S/he will have primary responsibility for ensuring that the university meets its commitments in the Roadmap and for engaging with faculty, staff, and students from across the institution to advance the diversity agenda outlined therein. The VP/CDO will serve and partner with each of these constituencies to set priorities and short-term objectives while tracking progress towards long-term goals.
The University seeks a thoughtful and energetic leader with a broad vision for the role of diversity and inclusion in achieving institutional excellence. The successful candidate will have a track record of accomplishment in leading institutional initiatives, building programs, and promoting diversity in a complex organizational setting. S/he will have a thorough knowledge of research and best practices around campus diversity, its benefits, and the conditions that must be in place to achieve those benefits. Experience working in a decentralized academic environment with demonstrated success in strengthening diversity and inclusion through proactive recruitment, training, and change management will be critical to success. The VP/CDO will have demonstrated skills in collecting and using data to assess programs and increase shared accountability; a supervisory record that demonstrates collaborative strengths in coaching and mentoring, managing project development teams, and improving productivity; and the ability to form coalitions and inspire others to take actions. S/he must possess an advanced degree and the ability to manage institutional change in a complex, academic environment. The successful candidate will demonstrate cross-cultural competencies, including strong emotional intelligence, influencing skills, and the ability to engage and build relationships with university constituencies and underrepresented communities. S/he will have strong communication and conflict-resolution skills needed to navigate politically-charged situations to resolve problems, build consensus, and reconcile competing interests. Either a faculty or professional appointment is possible depending on candidate qualifications.
Screening will begin immediately and continue until an appointment is made. All communications will be treated confidentially. Nominations, inquiries, and applications (including a cover letter, curriculum vitae or resume, and the names of five references) should be directed electronically in confidence to email@example.com.

Ultimate Weapon CombinationEdit
One of the best weapons to craft, if you have the Witness the Truth Pack DLC, is what the Clever Noob walkthrough (see above video) calls the "GTFO" gun. Disassemble the Evangelizer that is stored in your safe from the DLC download, then craft a weapon with the following statistics:
- Heavy Elite Frame (obtained from disassembling the Evangelizer), or Standard Heavy Frame if Elite is not available.
- Military Engine (Upper Tool)
- Evangelizer Conic Dispersal (Upper Tool's Tip, obtained from disassembling the Evangelizer)
- Plasma Core (Lower Tool)
- Upgrade damage and rate-of-fire for the top tool, and all damage or damage/clip/reload for the bottom tool.
- Later on in the game, add the stasis attachment so every shot briefly slows down enemies (Attachment 2).
The Witness the Truth DLC came with the Limited Edition, so everyone who pre-ordered should have it. This is the ultimate weapon to use during the game, and will dramatically help you beat Hardcore mode.
If you don't have the DLC required, it is highly recommended that you save all of your resources until you have enough to craft the Conic Dispersal tip, which will apply the same shotgun effect as the Evangelizer Conic Dispersal. You can create the same gun with non-DLC parts by Chapter 5. See the Chapter 5 Walkthrough Video for more information.
The reason this gun is so great, is because the shotgun will annihilate any and all enemies very quickly. The top tool has a very high range of fire, it is very accurate, a very wide-spread of fire, and is the strongest weapon in the game when you compare clip size to damage per round. The bottom tool is a Force Gun (a stacked Force Gun when you add Damage) that will push every enemy back when they get close to you, and will temporarily stasis freeze them with each shot once you add the stasis attachment. Enemies are fast in Dead Space and will get close to you. When that happens, fire the lower tool, because it has a high rate of fire. If you fire the shotgun, you'll be leaving yourself vulnerable for roughly 1.5 seconds, whereas if you fire the lower tool, you can immediately follow up the knockback-shot with a shotgun blast.
It is easily the best combination in the game for damage, survivability, and adaptation. It works especially well with the second gun that the Clever Noob walkthrough crafts later on, the "Doom and Boom" (See later videos).

'My love is like a
red, red rose, that's newly sprung in June...'
So wrote the talented Scottish baird, Robbie Burns, and we all recognise
the red rose as the ultimate flower symbol of love.
A red rose is the traditional romantic gift given to your love on
Valentine's Day. Different rose colours can send other messages.
For hundreds of years flowers have held hidden meanings, derived
from mythology, folklore, religious and historical symbolism. The
floral bouquet you send or receive brings a special coded message,
depending on the flowers you choose.
does a rose mean?
Sweet flowers alone can say what passion fears revealing'
Thomas Hood
The study of the meaning of flowers is an actual science known as
floriography, and it reveals an extra underlying meaning to sending
or receiving flowers - subtle and secret messages can be passed
through the different blooms.
During the 18th century sending flower messages based on a Turkish
secret language of flowers became popular. This was known as sending
a 'Persian Selam' - a coded bouquet to reveal your feelings of love
or attraction. The Victorians became very knowledgable in flower
language and chose their bouquets carefully. Flowers gave them a
secret language that enabled them to communicate feelings that the
propriety of the times would not allow, there were strict restraints
on courtship and any displays of emotion.
So next Valentine's day, birthday, anniversary, Mother's day or
any other occasion you plan to send flowers make sure you don't
send the wrong message in your flowers. Even the way you hand over
the bouquet sends a message too - flowers held in your right hand
mean 'yes', whereas flowers held in the left hand mean 'no'.
Anemone - dying love - derived from
the Greek for 'windflower', mythology relates the anemone sprung
from the tears of Aphrodite as she mourned the death of her love,
Adonis. In folklore the anemone is believed to bring luck and
protection against evil. The flower was said to foretell rain
by closing its petals, and fairies were believed to sleep beneath
the petals of the wood anemone during the night after they closed
at sunset.
Pansy - loving
thoughts and attraction - known also as 'heartsease', this
pretty flower was believed to heal love problems. Anyone wanting
to ensure they were loved by their sweethearts would carry a pansy.
Thyme - courage, vigour and strength - from
the Greek word 'thymon' - courage, soldiers bathed in thyme to
prepare for battle. Used in magickal potions to enable you to
see the Faeries.

Just give yourself DAILY - HOT OIL (lots OF)TREATMENTS (using the Soft Bonnet Hair Dryer to take advantage of heat) which drives conditioners INTO hair strands....and then at night apply overnight Treatments of THRIVEN for the complete HAIR DAMAGE RESCUE TREATMENT of the Year ! ! ! !
Remember....do NOT use a daily conditioner solely because you think you need one.
It's the QUANTITY of ingredients not the fact that its on the label, they can put 1% of Rosehips Oil in a product & then are allowed to put the name "ROSEHIPS OIL" in the label. . . . . just the same as if we added over 50% of the TOTAL formula.

DOCTOR'S WORLD; A Question of Ethics: Should Alcoholics Get Transplanted Livers?
Published: April 3, 1990
(Page 2 of 2)
Until the Pittsburgh study, a prevailing medical belief was that most liver transplants for alcoholic cirrhosis were futile gestures that wasted organs. But with more experience, experts are coming to recognize that there is no moral or medical reason to exclude alcoholics for liver transplantation just because they are alcoholics. The limiting factors seem to be whether candidates are mentally or physically impaired from other well known complications of alcoholism that damage the brain, heart and blood system.
Several leaders have hammered away at the inconsistencies and the unique requirement from alcoholics that they abstain from alcohol. Those seeking transplants for other diseases are not held to the same standards. Smokers who need heart transplants are told to quit smoking, but they are not generally deprived of a suitable organ if they are unable to comply.
It usually takes 10 to 20 years of drinking to destroy a liver. Thus, as Dr. Colin E. Atterbury of Yale University School of Medicine has written, ''it is illogical to refuse the procedure'' when ''transplant surgeons are still rejoicing in three-year survivals.''
Nevertheless, there are many unsolved problems in transplanting livers for alcoholic cirrhosis.
Assurance that the recipient will stop drinking is desirable, but there is no clear agreement on how long a period of sobriety is required before undertaking the surgery. Also, health workers have long known the difficulty of accurately predicting which patient will continue to abstain.
Further, the nature of cirrhosis makes it difficult to accurately predict the last year of life and to identify the optimal time to do the surgery. Death among cirrhotics often occurs unexpectedly. An infection can push a cirrhotic into terminal liver failure; veins in the esophagus that enlarge because of pressure from the damaged liver can burst and cause massive fatal bleeding.
Thus, an arbitrary waiting period cannot be set. Patients have died waiting for a liver transplant while fulfilling arbitrary criteria for documented sobriety.
It is not known how many alcoholics with cirrhosis will qualify for a liver transplant in part because not everyone with the disorder will want to be considered for a transplant. Many people will be excluded because they are unwilling to stop drinking and others who lack adequate support will be rejected as poor risks.
Though the Government will pay for many liver transplants, individual doctors face the biggest ethical dilemma in deciding who among the many will get the scarce organs.
Some people favor a lottery.Others say there must be a better way to decide.
Many would side with Dr. George D. Lundberg, the editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association, who said that if he had several possible recipients for a single organ, he would try to decide who was the most deserving recipient. He said he held to the view he expressed in an editorial in 1983: ''If I had one liver to transplant and 50,000 possible recipients, I wouldn't let the fact that a great creative genius might drink deter me from giving him or her a needed new liver to allow another 30 years of creativity.''

1 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for Real Estate, Infrastructure, and Facilities Managers An overview of how managers in a variety of sectors implement KPIs to improve organizational performance and save millions.
2 Table of Contents Abstract...1 Rationale...1 KPIs: Delivering a Measure of Success...2 KPIs You Can Take to This Bank...4 Major Mid-West Insurer: KPI Directed, Not Driven...6 Ball Aerospace & Technologies: Speed of Data Access Sometimes the Best KPI...6 KPIs in Education: How to Perform Above Grade Level...7 A Major Hollywood Studio Sees the Big Picture...9 Making a Federal Case for KPIs Environmental KPIs: Up to 20% Operating Cost Savings Conclusion Abstract In the search for improving organizational performance, more and more real estate, infrastructure and facilities managers are using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) as benchmarks against which progress in saved time or money can be measured. This white paper looks at how managers in a variety of sectors are incorporating these performance metrics, some industry-standard and others organization-specific, to improve business processes and organizational bottom lines. KPIs don t have to be numerous (typically, only four or five are needed to monitor any corporate real estate or facilities management functional area), but, ideally, the metric should be consistent from year to year to provide a reliable management gauge. Rationale Used in a wide range of sectors for an equally wide range of organizational goals, KPIs have proven to be an invaluable tool in managing the cost of real estate, facilities and associated infrastructure. Their use as performance benchmarks has been known to save millions of dollars annually by, among other benefits, identifying and eliminating wasted space and the energy needed for its illumination and climate-control. KPIs are also helping education and research institutions to more accurately document space usage in order to receive reimbursement under government grants. Advanced on-demand reporting and visualization, such as Web-based personalized dashboards and scorecards, furthermore, are providing the real-time management information that is critical for those in the C-suite who must optimize assets, mitigate risk, and transform organizations. At a time of heightened environmental consciousness, KPIs are also playing a vital role in helping organizations become more environmentally sustainable. A well-planned strategy in this area can deliver up to a 20% savings on some operational costs as well as assist in compliance. 1
3 KPIs: Delivering a Measure of Success As the B-school bromide says, you can t manage what you can t measure. The trouble is, what can t one measure these days? To those possessed of an unlimited curiosity and an accountant s soul, there s no end to what can be measured in the workplace using various yardsticks and ratios to gauge and improve organizational performance. Traditionally, many of these gauges have focused on the kinds of financial performance data sought after by stock analysts and highlighted in annual reports e.g., Return on Equity, Return on Invested Capital, the Debt to Equity ratio, a stock s Price to Earnings ratio, etc. But sophisticated organizations realize that there are a host of other areas of corporate performance affecting profitability that must also be measured and managed. In the realm of Real Estate, Infrastructure, and Facilities Management, statistics that summarize properties which are owned or leased, work order completion rates, space allocation/chargeback data, employee churn rates or other aspects of these operations must also be analyzed and improved, with each department defining its own set of metrics that determines progress or the lack thereof. Operational managers since the late 80s have increasingly adopted metrics known as Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). KPIs are the quantifiable performance measurements used to define success factors and measure progress toward the achievement of organizational goals. Clearly, with the many potential and perfectly plausible KPIs out there to identify and track, where does one start? With the basics. Strength in Numbers Confusion in Too Many of Them KPIs can be virtually unlimited in number, and sometimes too granular in scale to be meaningful facts that can bedevil real estate, infrastructure and facilities managers. It, therefore, pays to apply a KPI from the engineering world -- Signal to Noise ratio -- to determine which KPIs are useful and which are unproductive distractions. To that end, the acronym SMART is frequently used as a mnemonic device and organizing principle to determine what are valuable, actionable performance data and what are not: Specific the KPI should have one widely accepted definition that eliminates the risk of others taking interpretive liberties preventing it from being a true standard. Measurable a KPI provides a valid measure that accurately defines a standard, budget, or norm Achievable a KPI standard has to be clear and detailed enough to be actionable Relevant - the KPI must measure some real and critical aspect of the organization s strategy and directly contribute to achieving it, otherwise it is useless noise Time-Phased - a KPI should, ideally, express a relationship between the performance measure that is chosen and the time frame over which it extends in order to establish a temporal baseline for future KPI comparisons. 2
4 You may only need four or five well-chosen KPIs for space management, work order management, or other areas of facilities management in order to guide a cost-effective management program, says Reeves Davis, Principal for Idisis, Inc., with offices in Calgary, Alberta and Charlotte, North Carolina. Adhering to the SMART yardstick will help improve the signal-to-noise ratio by separating the truly important from the merely interesting. To do otherwise, would risk collecting huge amounts of unnecessary data that only increases its cost of management and may add unnecessary complexity to oversight processes. KPI Limitations As helpful as KPIs are in establishing standards and achieving goals, they have their limitations. KPIs may not be able to assign values to subjective measures, such as the degree to which staff morale contributes to accomplishing department or organizational goals, worthy as its monitoring may be. As noted, the value of KPIs diminishes if their definitions aren t specific and change over time. Sharing the same weakness as a political poll whose questions change with every election cycle, changing KPI definitions make year-to-year performance comparisons difficult, if not impossible, through an insidious drift in your KPI standard(s). Even if they don t morph over time, KPIs that are also too idiosyncratic to a specific organization s operations and outlook will also have little, if any, use in making performance comparisons to similar organizations. KPI Constants Over time, some KPIs have come to be seen as self-evident constants in the quest for actionable data. What manager, for example, wouldn t want to know such obvious maintenance and operations-related KPIs as wrench time/productivity, overtime paid, sick time, preventive maintenance completion ratio, work completed per craftsperson, or work order/customer satisfaction. Similarly, the realm of space and occupancy metrics has its own long list of KPIs whether it is square feet per employee, cost of space per square foot, total vacant space as a percentage of space, employee churn rate, cost per move, etc. Pick a meaningful data point or ratio and you probably have a basis for a valid KPI for a while, at least. Changing Corporate Context, Changing KPIs Sometimes changing workplace conditions brought on by technological or business model changes require the introduction of new KPIs. The increase in the number of mobile and or remote workers, for example, has upended the old formulas of square footage allocation of, and charges for, fixed office space per employee. More flexible use of on-site desk and office space, or the elimination of it altogether for some employees, has dramatically reduced space requirements and associated support/maintenance costs per worker. This has allowed organizations to leverage both their real estate and human resources much more cost-effectively. 3
5 Whatever KPI metrics are chosen, the best KPIs highlight opportunities for improvement and drive results in support of an organization s strategic goals. This white paper provides an overview of how managers in a variety of sectors approach the use of KPIs and how they are being implemented to improve organizational performance. KPIs You Can Take to This Bank Whatever the KPI mix, if it s SMART, it s all good. That s especially true if dashboard visualization technology helps display KPI information in a way that is more immediately accessible and understandable. We re starting an executive dashboard project with Web delivery of a combination of data points that incorporate interactive maps using geographical data from ESRI GIS software, key performance metrics, building lists and so on, explains the Vice President of Facilities Management at a major financial services company in the eastern United States. KPIs have been used in one form or another here for a long time. I don t know to what degree, if ever, we sat down and codified which metrics we should be using. But now that we re laying all this information out on screen in a dashboard, it s forcing us to say here are the metrics we feel are critical to have front and center for our executives. If we re getting a lot of lighting work requests for a particular building, it may indicate a need for a re-lamping project and that KPI allows us to spot a problem and be more proactive. Vice President, Facilities Management, Major U.S. Bank Most of the KPI information the financial services company s executives will use to analyze operations comes from ARCHIBUS Building Operations, Space Management, and Real Property & Lease Management applications. The bank is also introducing a separate set of new data tables to store PeopleSoft financial data; that information can then be integrated with ARCHIBUS for more comprehensive views of more aspects of business performance. The bank, says its FM executive, uses four or five major KPIs per area of focus. In space management, a variety of square footage and occupancy ratios are employed. Measuring the amount and percentage of total personnel space vacant vs. occupied is a simple but important one for us, says the bank official. So is total rentable square footage divided by head count at the building and floor level; square foot occupancy by business unit; and the percentage of square footage based on room category (personnel vs. support vs. service space). Under Building Operations, some important KPIs for the bank also include: number of ad hoc work requests issued during the last 12 months, number of work requests divided by headcount by building/ regional level, number of work requests by type, number of work requests older than 30 days, and the number of satisfied customers as determined by a survey ed after every work order completion. It s important to know the space and occupancy KPIs in order to compare building performance at the local and regional level, which will be a key feature of our dashboard project, said the bank s facilities expert. The same can be said for knowing things like the number of work requests by type. If we re getting a lot of lighting work requests for a particular building, it may indicate a need for a re-lamping project and that KPI allows us to spot a problem and be more proactive. 4
6 This particular bank s FM professional has participated in a number of industry-wide benchmarking studies but thinks they are of limited value because the same KPI definitions aren t used from study to study. There may be terminology differences that are difficult to reconcile -- such as what s a project versus a work request, he said. In contrast, we find a great deal of value comparing our own consistent internal information on a building-to-building or region-to-region basis. The same holds true for leasing information. Standard KPIs relating to leasing for this particular banking institution include the number of leases terminating within 180 days, number of lease options to be decisioned within 180 days, total annual base rent by business unit, and total rentable square footage leased by business unit. Example: Personalized dashboard view of real estate portfolio holdings and performance We just need those four KPIs to provide a sound foundation for our dashboard project in the leasing category. We ll be doing something similar in our capital projects sphere when we link ARCHIBUS data with our capital projects application based on PeopleSoft. KPIs in the capital projects area will include: capital projects actual vs. planned for buildings and regions; total number of active projects and total year-to-date; and top ten active projects by dollar amount. My suspicion is that as soon as I start delivering this information, a whole lot of hands will go up with people asking Can we have more? said the bank s facility VP. But that s OK. With the evolution of the new executive dashboards, I ll be able to tell them -- in the nicest possible way -- to get it themselves. 5
7 Major Mid-West Insurer: KPI Directed, Not Driven While few facilities management professionals live in a pressure-free work environment, some companies to the relief of their FM managers are less focused on metrics than other companies. We re not super-driven by KPIs in every area of facilities management, says a former Facility Planning Manager, recently promoted to Corporate Program Management Specialist, at a major U.S. financial services company based in Wisconsin. We re more about customer satisfaction, employee comfort, and corporate image than about performance metrics, although we plan to incorporate more KPIs in the future. With large downtown and suburban campuses, the company s significant presence and civic focus in the Milwaukee area are behind its efforts to bend over backwards in maintaining grounds and sidewalks under all weather conditions, making seasonal changes to flower beds, and other civic-focused efforts of its corporate life. That same attention to detail is also directed at internal operations like space planning. In that realm, facilities professionals are always reviewing metrics on space usage such as vacancies, square footage by group/department, and related measures that help compare how efficiently space is being used. Some groups are space hogs and others run lean, paperless offices, observes the firm s one-time facilities pro, who also kept a sharp eye on employee churn and furniture inventory KPIs. To see where we can more efficiently use space and avoid constructing new buildings, I created my own red light/ We re not super-driven by KPIs in every area of facilities management. We re more about customer satisfaction, employee comfort, and corporate image than about performance metrics, although we plan to incorporate more KPIs in the future. Corporate Program Management Specialist, major U.S. financial services company green light dashboard that compares an ideal capacity floor plan against the actual floor occupancy. If we re 5% below ideal capacity, it gets an OK and a green light. But if we re at, or 5% over, ideal capacity it gets a yellow or red light and we factor that into our space planning. That KPI gauge has apparently worked well for the company, which owns all its space. It runs at only a 4% to 5% vacancy rate in contrast to a more typical corporate vacancy rate of approximately 7%. We re keeping up, says the manager, whose space KPI information ultimately finds its way to the C-suite for planning and funding purposes. The firm didn t become a 150-year old company by not marshalling its resources wisely. We clearly don t want to take on the expense of constructing a new building until it s absolutely needed. Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp.: Speed of Data Access Sometimes the Best KPI Data accuracy and access time have been underlying KPI themes at Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp., a Boulder, Colorado-based supplier of imaging, communications, and information systems and services to government and industry. Ball has had a long-term reliance on KPIs, thanks to its CAFM Systems Administrator John Kuxhausen. He introduced them in 2000 when his initial focus on FM data accuracy and standardization prompted 6
8 him to consolidate space data onto a centralized system. What had been silos of space management information residing on home-grown systems scattered throughout the company were imported into ARCHIBUS. We had no reliable space data prior to that point, remembers Kuxhausen. Everyone had their own numbers and tracked space in their own way. We always knew which KPIs we wanted to track for categories such as total rental space and vacancies, so the big thing for us was data standardization and accuracy, which we first started accomplishing with ARCHIBUS Space Management and Real Property & Lease Management applications. The Move Management, Building Operations Management, and Telecommunications & Cable Management applications have also been added to the applications portfolio in recent years to track churn, preventive maintenance data, and telecom inventory. The consolidation of such data onto a single system has enabled Ball to use its few, well-chosen KPIs to best advantage and raised the profile of his department. Better space management and the KPIs that enable it, for example, have brought my group the most success when we meet with upper management, Kuxhausen reports. When we go to meetings and present on facilities operations, the work is highly regarded now because we ve been able to get all our ducks in a row using accurate facilities information. Just as important as the quality of data has been the speed of data access Ball s KPI discipline has made possible. Due to the number and frequency of reports that we run, we have become an on-demand KPI culture, Kuxhausen points out. Sometimes for us the most important KPI is the ability to quickly retrieve the right data to make sound financial judgments in a compressed timeframe. Better space management and the KPIs that enable it, for example, have brought my group the most success when we meet with upper management John Kuxhausen, Ball Aerospace Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp Commerce Street & Technologies Boulder, Colorado KPIs in Education: How to Perform Above Grade Level Now more than ever, educational institutions have to administer budgets and use space wisely to better serve students and funding sources alike. Denver Public Schools (DPS) is a case in point. DPS clearly uses many of the same or similar KPIs as other organizations and industries to gauge how efficiently it is using its resources in the interest of sound facilities management on behalf of the taxpayer. The school system s ARCHIBUS-enhanced information system is, for example, now providing data needed for such vital financial and management challenges as analyzing the impact of low or high enrollment vs. capacity, age of building vs. cost of maintenance, and closure or consolidation of buildings, to benefit both the educational needs and bottom line considerations of the district. Having accurate space information vis-a-vis the school district s inventory of permeable versus impermeable land area, another critical KPI, is helping it control water costs in its arid High Plains location as well as its labor expenses. 7
9 The ability to accurately account for classroom space vs. research facilities and document how they are being used is essential for recovering costs from federal or state programs. Reeves Davis, Principal, Idisis, Inc. Denver s Wastewater Management Division, for example, charges DPS based on water consumption per square foot. Water used for irrigation, however, goes back into underground aquifers, not down sanitary sewers, and is therefore not subject to this charge. To ensure it isn t being overcharged, DPS s highly accurate space data keeps track of the ratio between permeable and impermeable space and can easily calculate and display the amount of irrigated turf by highlighting the area in question on a table. Being able to calculate and document these permeable areas, such as athletic fields, has resulted in lower water bills for Denver Public Schools. Space-based KPIs have also been beneficial in controlling custodial costs at DPS. Because custodial staffing is based on building floor area, ARCHIBUS is used to calculate actual floor space minus open-air space. The ability to generate accurate area measurements allows the district to better align staffing levels and labor costs with the interior space that actually has to be maintained. At the higher education level, consultant Reeves Davis of Idisis points out that universities have become much more effective in using KPIs to, among other activities, document the use of research and other space that is reimbursable through government or private grant programs. The ability to accurately account for classroom space vs. research facilities and document how they are being used is essential for recovering costs from federal or state programs, says Davis. Some universities may only recover 40% of what they are due while others get a 60% or 70% recovery rate for operating expenses. When you re dealing with what can sometimes be hundreds of millions of dollars in grants, you re talking serious money. The City University of New York, which takes in $300 million annually from private and government-sponsored programs, is another prime example. CUNY s ability to present an accurate accounting of room data, taken from its ARCHIBUS system and used by a private agency that manages post-award administration, increased by 27% the total square footage reported for calculation of indirect cost recovery. It also increased the reported total research square footage, resulting in a 38% increase in recoverable direct funding. Some universities may only recover 40% of what they are due while others get a 60% or 70% recovery rate for operating expenses. When you re dealing with what can sometimes be hundreds of millions of dollars in grants, you re talking serious money. Reeves Davis An advanced real estate, infrastructure, and facilities management system in that case is invaluable in providing KPI data on what space allocations and costs really are, observes Idisis Davis. Otherwise, an institution can find itself in a vulnerable spot during audits. If auditors find that some numbers are suspect because they lack documentation, it becomes easier to challenge other numbers, too. 8
10 A Major Hollywood Studio Sees the Big Picture We ve been forced to be more cost-efficient, which is not something most movie studios have tried to do but then most movie studios aren t as big as we are, observes a facilities management professional at one of Hollywood s oldest studios, with millions of square feet of interior space spread over more than one hundred acres. By one account, entertainment industry production facilities are one of the more unique and perhaps more extravagant business environments when it comes to the quantity and uses of space for certain activities. The studios have, as a group, been less concerned about cost-efficient use of owned assets and, therefore, slower to adopt KPI use than companies outside that field. This, however, is changing as the studios start to share many of the same space, churn, energy and other facilities management cost concerns as other industries. The days where an executive or producer would say cost is no object are long gone says this FM insider. Studios need to be as cost-conscious and cost-competitive as any other business. While KPIs are typically employed for newer, more energy- and space- efficient facilities, says the Hollywood FM professional of his employer s properties, older production lot facilities too important to be torn down are now being upgraded and are tracking performance improvements with KPIs. This studio s work order KPIs, whether for newer or older structures, fall into common categories such as the number of calls to a call center, number of hours per project, number of work orders by trade, people and furniture churn rates. Space management KPIs can be found in the equally familiar buckets of usable/rentable square footage, average space per production, average office size per function, and so on. Applying space chargeback KPIs, however, has become an increasingly important focus for the studio s facilities management department, notes this studio s FM expert. That s because chargeback rates, for in-house or independent production companies using the studio s facilities and equipment, must remain competitive with what similar facilities outside the studio would charge. Applying space chargeback KPIs, however, has become an increasingly important focus for the studio s facilities management department. That s because chargeback rates, for in-house or independent production companies using the studio s facilities and equipment, must remain competitive with what similar facilities outside the studio would charge. Hollywood FM Expert There is, to be sure, an extensive catalog of facility and amenity requirements that must be tracked and maintained to meet Hollywood s needs. That inventory may include space in office towers, sound stages, recording studios, sound effects and dubbing stages, editing booths, large writers conference rooms plus private desk space, not to mention myriad equipment types required for each type of space. From a competitive standpoint, that means keeping tabs on an equally wide range of cost per square foot or cost per hour/day/week/month metrics to remain within industry norms. The discipline that maintaining space/amenity/cost KPIs imposes, therefore, helps optimize on-site asset use and production efficiency. This is especially important for a studio trying to adhere to a business model that is vertically integrated, maximizing use of its own facilities and assets. That model is only possible if the delivery of the right facility mix and cost structure is met. 9
11 It s a big business in dollar terms, but the entertainment industry is a small world from a facilities management perspective, says this studio s FM expert. There s a lot of cross-pollination between studios as facilities management people move from company to company, so we get to know each other and get a feel for what employers are doing in space management and other cost areas that help establish KPI baseline standards for our unique line of business. Making a Federal Case for KPIs Federal efforts to manage its properties more efficiently on behalf of the taxpayer are making major strides with the introduction of KPIs in this sector. A number of Executive Orders signed by the President of the United States in the last eight years established mandates for government to pay greater attention to such performance metrics. Presidential Executive Order (EO) 13327, for example, mandated the development and implementation of an asset management plan (AMP) by federal departments. EO assigned red, yellow, and green lights in progress reports to indicate the degree to which branches of government were complying with this Order, with green being the highest level. Executive Order 13450: Improving Government Program Performance, signed on November 13, 2007, was issued to ensure that Federal agencies apply taxpayer resources efficiently in a manner that maximizes the effectiveness of Government programs in serving the American people. In the matter of managing federal properties more effectively, KPIs are playing a pivotal role, points out David Baker. Baker is the National Director of Asset Management Solutions at government consulting firm VISTA Technology Services, Inc. (VISTAtsi), and the co-author of VISTAtsi s white paper on the subject, Business Intelligence Visualization: Enterprise Performance Improvement and Federal Mandate Compliance. I ve found that most government executives today want verifiable information on their organization s properties and performance to control costs and improve planning, Baker observes. For audits, they want to be able to explain how their agencies run and make sure their direct reports understand their business areas so that government acts more like a business. The last thing government executives want is a surprise. Baker is in accord with SMART principles when it comes to data relevance, quantity and quality. He applies them in one form or another to VISTAtsi s work with many federal agencies in the metropolitan Washington, DC area and beyond. The US Government now recognizes the need for developing good data and reporting metrics, and will fund initiatives for agency performance tracking and improvement. David Baker, National Director-Asset Management Solutions, VISTAtsi The company s extensive experience in counseling government has enabled it to, among other achievements, define a decision support/data sustainability assessment model that charts the relative cost and details of collecting and maintaining certain kinds of KPI data to create a sustainable data model for decision support. 10
12 Concept diagram for establishing a sustainable data model. Used with permissions from: Business Intelligence Visualization: Enterprise Performance Improvement and Federal Mandate Compliance, David Baker, VISTA Technology Services, Inc. One of the more impressive accomplishments by a government entity can be found in the steps taken by the U.S. Army to assess real estate condition and needs. As a result of VISTAtsi s consulting work with that branch of the military in its ongoing Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process and other real property initiatives, the Army estimates it has saved over a billion dollars in construction costs. Just as important, in addition to now knowing what is in its real estate portfolio, the Army can manage and plan for future needs more cost-effectively as a result of these management programs. Similarly, the Department of Justice is well along in its program to verify data sets and establish KPIs for managing a vast array of properties that include its own headquarters as well as properties used by the FBI, the Bureau of Prisons, and other operations. Baker is also an advocate of incorporating KPIs into increasingly popular dashboard display technology with reservations. The shortcoming of most dashboard implementations is the reliance on available and typically unfiltered or unverified data to portray performance, Baker writes in VISTAtsi s paper on the subject. Dashboards are a display mechanism only and are not a means of determining the most appropriate organizational KPIs or the accuracy of available data and supported work processes portfolio managers must be able to say with certainty that the information displayed through a dashboard is valid and has sufficient accuracy to portray a meaningful result. 11
13 Once the appropriate KPIs are determined, VISTAtsi s Business Intelligence Visualization methodology and enabling decision support analytics enhance their usefulness by maximizing the effectiveness and utility of information. It provides a statistical and location-based depiction of performance status and brings together all information components to support decision-making about the portfolio assets across the enterprise. Defining and implementing KPIs, adds Baker, is part of the foundation for analytics that can perform simulations and forecast how a facilities portfolio will perform in the future based on past history and future intent. Top cabinet agencies are beginning to adopt this strategy and can find funding for Business Intelligence initiatives. However, state and local governments often struggle to find the appropriate level of funding for the analytical tools needed to do the same. Beyond the federal realm, local governments should align initiates with state governments in the adoption of KPIs and analytics. Environmental KPIs: Up to 20% Operating Cost Savings Perhaps nowhere is the need for Key Performance Indicators more urgent for organizations these days than in their attempt to meet environmental objectives. Whether a self-imposed moral imperative, a legal obligation, or both, implementing environmental sustainability initiatives promoting energy conservation, reducing the generation of hazardous materials and greenhouse gases, or targeting other environmental goals do more than make the world a greener place. They also deliver a sometimes significant bottom line benefit. A well thought-out environmental sustainability strategy can deliver up to 10% and possibly 20% savings on operational costs, says J.R. Kolmer of ARCHIBUS Solution Center Environment + Sustainability Services, whose TEAMS software supports environmental management and compliance. Just being able to track the amount of water or electricity being used on a day-to-day basis, and where the energy sinks are, gives organizations the ability to take quick remedial measures that can have immediate returns. J. R. Kolmer, ARCHIBUS Solution Center - Environment & Sustainability Services Environment + Sustainability Services It starts with establishing Key Performance Indicators to track progress and achieve sustainable goals, Kolmer explains. Some key metrics might be based on the volume of recyclable versus disposable materials headed for landfills, the rate of energy reduction or adoption of renewable energy, better hazardous materials management and so on. Just being able to track the amount of water or electricity being used on a day-to-day basis, and where the energy sinks are, gives organizations the ability to take quick remedial measures that can have immediate returns. Pantone 254 Or C: 51 M:94 A centralized real estate, infrastructure, and facilities management system, he observes, is invaluable in supporting robust KPI data collection and the subsequent reporting and analysis of that data. Pantone 327 Or C:100 Y:47 K:15 Beyond the technological capabilities, one of the big questions to ask includes whether these KPIs are Research Triangle Environment + Sustainability Services core to the business values and goals of the organization or else it will be difficult to get stakeholder support, especially from the C-suite, cautions Kolmer. You may be able to design a balanced scorecard 12
14 but if you can t populate it with the right data, an organization may end up wasting two other resources time and energy. To achieve the goal of environmental quality, having a capable real estate, infrastructure, and facilities management technology framework to consolidate and report key information is essential for government-mandated environmental compliance reporting, including Sarbanes-Oxley mandates. It should also be remembered that environmental projects must be a collaborative effort throughout an organization and require buy-in from senior management for optimal success, says Kolmer. Senior managers are more involved than ever in environmental initiatives and they need to be able to assess where they are today in order to reach their goals. That s where KPIs play an important role. Conclusion Organizations may have a range of real estate, infrastructure and facilities management goals. Measuring progress toward any or all of those objectives requires relevant, reliable, and reportable metrics. The definition and implementation of a consistent set of Key Performance Indicators that reflect a true statistical picture of an organization s operations is an essential step in improving overall operational and financial performance. Having a capable, comprehensive real estate, infrastructure, and facilities management system to capture and analyze KPI information is paramount. Combined with the use of dashboards, balanced scorecards, and other means of visualizing information, KPIs supply the indispensible metrics and performance discipline that will save money, save time, and guide organizations of every type and size toward a more efficient and profitable future, year after year. 13

Could someone suggest me reliable/best outdoor wireless bridging solution within 400 feet range? Because, I am confused with all those wireless devices in the internet claiming each of them to be the best.
Many thanks in advance

Can you give us a little more information? What is the application for the bridge? Are you connecting two buildings, or you just want to boost a signal to your back patio? What types of wireless devices are involved? What class of wireless are you using A, B, G, N, or Mixed? There are a lot of applications to wireless, and a lot of different problems that can crop up depending on devices and what the connections are.

Thanks for your reply.
We are putting a porta-cabin outside our building until the refurbishment is done. Having said that it is essential for us to be up and running as normal. At the moment we are using Draytek 2800G for our wireless but I dont want to extend its range because the router occasionally plays up and we will be using VoIP and connection to the LAN over the link. Hence, we are thinking of completely new solution to connect to our exsisting LAN. Hope that explains.
Any Suggestions?

A comedian tries to make it as a serious actor when his reality-TV star fiancée talks him into broadcasting their wedding on her TV show.
This was a major disappointment. Please do not subject your friends or family to this piece of garbage. We walked out midway the movie. This is by far the worst ever seen. This is my first time writing a movie
and I am writing this because I feel very strongly about this piece of %%%%%%. I can not believe Chris was a part of such garbage. It was so disgusting and I can't find the words to describe it. This is not worthy of being on a big screen none the less any screen. Fingers in the rear end etc. there is no humor in this, terrible sloppy scenes, degrading sex scenes that's not even funny or tasteful. Everything about this movie was wrong.
