This time the update service will download a new copy of all the files you deleted instead of trying to download the corrupt data within those files. Be patient as I had so many corrupt files I had to download 50GB!! The game itself is only 60GB. 6) If your connection to the update service times out, just keep trying until it reconnects. Don't

Chapter 63: Industrial Symbiosis – a Bottom-Up Business Response to Nexus Challenges
Extraction and consumption of resources have reached historical heights during the last decade. This has allowed for the rapid industrialisation of emerging economies but has also aggravated global problems such as growing volumes of waste, climate change and loss of biodiversity. Commodity markets have also experienced profound changes as increased demand has led to higher volatility (e.g. between 2000 and 2010 metal prices increased by 250% (ECORYS, 2012), followed by important price drops after 2011). Concerns have also been raised about scarcity and geopolitical implications for a number of raw materials that are critical in modern technologies (ECORYS, 2014). These changes have sparked ...

In today's time, we should be updating ourselves from time to time because the technology update continues to change so we should organize our business in keeping it in mind. Do you know about a company whose name is codec in this company About 100,000 thousand employees worked in 1998, and the company sold the world's twenty-seven preset photo papers. In less than a decade, digital photography has left a big company out of the market. The codec company became bankrupt and all its employees came on the road.
Most Popular Companies
- HMT (clock)
- Bajaj (scooter)
- Murphy (radio)
- Nokia (Mobile)
- Ambassador (car)
Friends, there was no dearth of quality in all these companies, but they were still out of the market.
What is the reason behind this?
They did not change at the time of time. if we will not upgrade our technology update over time, then we will be left behind in this world and we may have to face a lot of problems. mostly companies technology update keep up in the market, then it will have to run according to time.
From today to Five to ten years ago, there was no such place where PCO was not available when all the pockets were in mobile, PCO users started making a phone recharge and recharge now also started getting online.
Do you have an idea that the world will change completely in the coming ten years and all industries will be closed from today's Seventy to ninety percent?
Welcome to the 4th Industrial Revolution !!
Here we Discuss some technology Update
- Uber is just a software and the company does not have its own car, yet the world's largest taxi company.
- Airbnb is the world's largest hotel company, while the company does not have one of its own hotels. There are many examples like Paytm, Ola cabs, Oyo rooms.
- There is no work for young lawyers in the US because IBM Watson delivers the best legal advice throughout the year and in the coming ten years, ninety percent of lawyers will become unemployed in the United States. And those ten reputations will be super-specialists.
- Watson is a software that compares cancer diagnosis four times more reliable than humans. By 2030 the computer will be smarter than a man.
- In the coming days, ninety percent of cars will disappear from the streets across the world, and those who will survive or they will be electric cars or hybrids, the streets will be empty, the consumption of petrol will fall by nine percent and the Arab countries will become bankrupt.
- You will call a car from Uber-like software and in a few moments, a driver's car will be at your doorstep. If you share it with others, then the trip will be cheaper than your motorcycle. Due to the driver of the car, the ninety percent accident will decrease and the car insurance policy will be called fail.
- Driving like a carpet will not survive in the world when the number of ninety percent of cars in the city decreases, the traffic and parking problems will also end. Because a car will be equivalent to twenty cars of today.
- Now all of the things happen with PAYTM. People started booking railway tickets from the phone with a PAYTM. Money transfers are changing Currency notes replaced by plastic notes and now the transaction has become digitally charged.
Should know about Google updates
- Panda Updates
- Penguin Update
- Pigeon Updates
- Pirate Update
- Hummingbird
- Google EMD (Exact Match Domain) Update
- Google Mobile-Friendly Update or Mobilegeddon
- Possum Update
- Payday Update
- Google Top-Heavy Update
The world is fast-changing, keep your eyes, ears, nose, and brain open, otherwise, you will be left behind in the world.
Be ready to change over time
Therefore, the person should keep changing his business and nature according to the timing.
"Time to time update and upgrade"
Come on well with time and get success, good day!

Last night I used a solid carbide 90° to mill a slot into the top of a large octagonal BAT 'M' action. I want to be able to remove the scope base and desired a solid keyed locking surface...... I wanted a 1/4Wx1/8D slot in which to epoxy a key..... I used a 1/4" drill bit for the key. I tried small ball endmills and flat end mills.... In the end I milled the slot using a 1/2" diameter solid carbide tool with a wicked sharp 90° tip. It's designated as MCH-4D.
And of course it knocked the tip off.
My question is, is there a bit, a grind that will cut a decent 1/4x1/4 slot? I'm picturing a bit like a 3/16" center drill with side-cutting capability
I have keyway stuff, I'm looking for ease of setup

Board index » APL
All times are UTC
There's an index.html file which explains things; but the main thing is, there is a free-for-the-taking version of the 16-bit APL*PLUS for DOS, v.10.
I have an old application currently running on an ancient version of APL (STSC APL, Ver. 2.0) and an IBM PC 1 (8088 based CPU, 16K memory chips etc.) After 13 years of faithful service the PC has recently developed intermittent problems with the power supply and thus I'm now wanting to move up to something newer. What I'd like to do is move the application to a version of APL that runs on more modern hardware i.e. 80386 or newer. The organization using the application is a non-profit (a homeowners association) and doesn't have a lot of money to spend. I was wondering if anybody out there had a "not quite so old" version of STSC (now called Manugistics?) APL that they are either no longer using or that they have upgraded to a newer version and would be willing to part with cheaply. I'd like to keep the cost under $50.00 for the software and manuals if I can. If you have and old APL and are willing to part with it, I'd appreciate it if you would email me at the address listed below.
If anybody has any other suggestions for solutions to my problem, let me know. I've been kind of out of the APL loop for a number of years now and haven't kept up with what's currently available.

The Pastor's Corner is written by the pastor of Coronado Bible Church.
It happened again …
It happened again … fresh insight from a familiar passage of God's Word. Psalm 119 was written on as an acrostic poem in praise of God's law. In the Hebrew, each section has eight lines all beginning with the same letter. There is one section for each of the twenty-two letters in the Hebrew alphabet. With a grand total of 176 lines (or verses), Psalm 119 is not only the longest Psalm, but the longest chapter in the Bible.
The authors of my Bible reading plan decided to dole out Psalm 119 … one section a day. So this one psalm took 22 days to read. Psalm 119 has always been challenging to me. Not just because of the length, but because of the professed piety of the author. He uses the personal pronoun "I" incessantly. One proclamation after another about what he has done or plans to do in his pursuit of God and God's Word. Here's a sampling from just three verses …
- I have chosen the way of truth
- I have set my heart on your laws
- I hold fast to your statutes, O Lord
- I run in the path of your commands
Now, there are plenty of pleas for God's assistance, but they seem overwhelmed by 115 "I" statements like the ones above. So part of me has found it difficult not to dismiss the author's statements as pharisaical and arrogant. This time, maybe because my pace was slower I saw an "I" that I hadn't noticed before. It's the very last verse … Psalm 119:176, I have strayed like a lost sheep. Seek your servant, for I have not forgotten your commands.
Superior Numbers
- The logos for: Monster Energy Drink, Taco Bell and Google Chrome
- The trademark scrolly writing of the name "Walt Disney"
- The hand gestures of President Donald Trump
- The ancient Christian symbol for the Trinity
- Even a pan of cinnamon rolls (That should help you with your diet).
I'm not making this stuff up, but someone is. People have also been multiplying theories for who the number might identify as the Antichrist. One of the strongest candidates ever put forward was Ronald Wilson Regan. It was so obvious! Each of his names had six letters and he and Nancy did live at 666 St. Cloud Road, Bel Air, Los Angeles. U.S. Presidents have always been popular targets. As I mentioned, Donald Trump is currently being identified as the Antichrist … but then so was Barak Obama. I don't want to leave out my Canadian friends, so I think you should be warned that Justin Trudeau has been identified as a likely candidate … look it up! On second thought, don't bother.
Revelation 13:18 describes the "Mark of the Beast" as follows; This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.
Bible Heroes
This is David … the shepherd boy … standing on the corner of my desk. I found him in a bin of church stuff. It all makes sense now; how an adolescent could have killed a lion, a bear and then a trained Philistine warrior over nine feet tall. If the toymakers are right, David was no regular prepubescent. The testosterone kicked in way early for this boy. And look at that stone! I read in 1 Samuel 17 how David chose "five smooth stones" that fit in his shepherd's pouch, but who am I to argue with a Chinese toy manufacturer. Slinging cannon balls like that is probably how David defeated Hannibal's army of Elephants when it crossed the Alps into Israel. No … that didn't happen either, but if you're not going to stick to the text of Scripture, anything goes.
I looked up the toymaker online and discovered they use the same mold for Joshua, Goliath and Lachmi (that's Goliath's brother). I know you don't remember Lachmi, but he's in there (1 Chronicles 20:5). They probably picked this obscure character because there are only so many body builders mentioned in the Bible. The company also makes Samson. His figurine comes with removable hair (sad, but I'm not joking). I have a theory about Samson. I think he was about as imposing as Kenny G … a little thin guy with a wild mop of hair. If he had looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger, they wouldn't have kept asking about the source of his strength. And if he looked like he could push down a temple, they probably wouldn't have put him between the pillars. Samson's story is not a story about a man bound with muscle, it's the story of a man filled with God's Spirit.
When the Rooster Crows:
"Research done in North-Central India, where the sun only becomes visible after it has risen higher than surrounding mountains, documents the onset of crowing approximately two to three hours before sunrise with initial intervals of about 30 minutes that decrease to about seven minutes at the time of sunrise—even though the sun is not actually visible at the moment of sunrise."
Do you remember Cornelius the Rooster? He was the mascot for Kellogg's Corn Flakes. In my childhood commercials, the sun didn't come up until Cornelius crowed. Television was my only exposure to Roosters and I thought they only crowed right at sunrise. I was totally confused when I moved to Panama and heard them crowing 24/7. While Panama roosters don't seem to have much sense of time, according to researchers, other parts of the world have pretentiously punctual poultry. In fact, a new study (done by Nagoya University in Japan) "shows that roosters don't need the light of a new day to know when it's dawn—rather, their internal clocks alert them to the time."
Roosters are reliable enough that prior to our chronographically fixated age, people told time by them. The Greek word alektorophōnía, literally means "roosters voice" but is sometimes translated "third watch." Although the Greeks and Romans had developed other ways of marking time throughout the night, the three hours prior to sunrise was still called "cockscrow." Mark 13:35 uses the word in Jesus' parable counseling vigilance in watching for His return,
"Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn."
Interestingly, Jesus mentions only the watches of the night … the times when it is most difficult to be alert and aware. This was exactly His point. Jesus continues, "If (the master) comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. What I say to you, I say to everyone: 'Watch!" The specific servant mentioned in Jesus' parable was the door keeper. While others slept, he stayed alert through the dark watches of the night, ready to welcome his master home. Many considered the final watch, just before the breaking of dawn, the most difficult time to stay awake. The night has been long, the Master tarries … but He is coming. Wake up!

*This post was written in collaboration with design bundles
I've said it before on a number of posts; I am not an arty person. But one of the things that I enjoy most about blogging is that there are so many tools available to enhance my blog without me needing to be the best at artwork or design. with tools like design bundles, you can easily create a social media mockup. Adding an element of design work to your blog is a great way to make it look more professional. Coming down to the technical knitty gritty, if you have been blogging a while and you are starting to look at a way to make more income there are loads of ways you can do this. Here are a few of my best tips for making your blog AMAZING.
Use design bundles
One of the main things bloggers forget is that your blog, your social media channels and YOU are actually a brand. If you ran a survey, you would more than likely find out that people who read blogs really do like to see consistent branding. This is why it is important to ensure that all of your design work matched one central theme. This is why using a service like design bundles is so valuable. There are loads of reasons you might need to do a social media mockup. Creating a mock-up for clients is the main one. When you pitch for work, it's great to be able to show clients your vision and that's why tools like design bundles are imperative. I was playing around with design bundles and I found this one. This would SO be good on t-shirts at a cute baking blogger event near Christmas.
Due to the fact there is currently a deal to get 190 social media ideas for $39 I thought I would look through them. Definitely will be trying some of these.
Fix your broken links
If you want to take your blog from hobby to professional you will need to spend some time on your SEO. Making your SEO the best it can be also means your DA will increase and mean that you can charge more for work. One of the main things you should do is fix your broken links. There are a number of different broken link checkers online, but if you REALLY want to be thorough it might be worth hiring an SEO professional to sort them out for you.
When you start to get busy with paid opportunities etc, it can be easy to forget to analyse what is really working with your audience. Every blogger has a little check of blog stats each day but putting this into actions for the future is the most valuable way you can use them. A lot of your blog readers will be regular readers so it makes perfect sense to give them what they want. Try to have a weekly content meeting with yourself so that you can go over last weeks stats and plan next weeks posts.

Leisure batteries are manufactured to the very highest of standards, but to get the very best performance, and longevity out of your batteries it is well worth following a simple care and maintenance program.
Always recharge your battery as soon as you can after use after discharge and keep it as fully charged as possible during long periods of in-activity. Please must use Continual Automatic chargers with these batteries such as NUMAX 12V 10A DC Fully Automatic Intelligent Connect & Forget Leisure Battery charger can be left attached to the battery for long periods and will look after your battery at correct state of charge until you need it next. Avoid completely discharging your battery (Below 10.5V) as this will reduce its cyclic lifespan. When the battery is out of the caravan/motor-homes etc.
Always store it in a cool, dry and well ventilated place. From time to time make sure the terminals are free from dust and dirt, and all connections are sound. Please must not use Trickle charge with these batteries.
An equalizing charge for a 12volt battery required that it be charged with a voltage of at least 14.4 volts for a period of at least one hour once a month, or every 10 discharge cycles. An equalizing charge prevents battery stratification and reduces sulfation, the leading cause of battery failure. Reduced performance can also be an indicator that an equalizing charge is needed. All batteries, regardless of their chemistry, will self-discharge. The rate of self-discharge for lead acid batteries depends on the storage or operating temperature.
At a temperature of 80 degrees F. A lead acid battery will self-discharge at a rate of approximately 4% a week. Keeping this in mind if a 125 AH battery is stored for four months (16 weeks) winter without being charged, it will lose 80 amps of its 125-amp capacity.It will also have severe sulfation, which causes additional loss of capacity.

Food Aid's Evolution: Landing a One-Two Punch against Hunger
The U.S. response of food aid was quick off the mark, as it often is. But this time there appeared to be a greater nimbleness, illustrating the evolving shift in the way the U.S. delivers its food aid.
The World Food Program announced that it had received more than $100 million through the U.S. Agency for International Development to provide urgent food assistance to some 9 million people across the Sahel, from Mauritania to Chad. Of that contribution, $28 million was in cash to purchase food from African farmers and to support programs in which the impacted population receives vouchers to buy their food on local markets rather than getting handouts of food from a distant land. The U.S. donation also included an initial consignment of nearly 7,500 metric tons of food allocated from stocks pre-positioned in strategic locations in or near Africa, which would reduce the delivery time from four months to four weeks. Additional food supplies would be shipped from the U.S. to arrive in August when the hunger is expected to be at its peak.
Allan Jury, the WFP's director of U.S. relations, hailed Washington's "multi-pronged approach" to the crisis in the Sahel.
"The cash contributions and use of pre-positioned stocks enables us to deliver quick, life-saving assistance in the short-term with significant in-kind food assistance arriving just at the peak of the crisis when the needs are greatest," he said.This combination punch against hunger is a departure from traditional U.S. food aid practice, and a welcome development. For decades, the U.S. government mandated that all food aid be American-grown crops transported on American-flagged ships. Even though these requirements added several months to the food aid deliveries and doubled the cost, any change to a more flexible system that included cash purchases of food nearer to the stricken areas was vehemently opposed by entrenched interest groups intent on making sure that American farmers, commodity processors and shippers – along with the hungry recipients — received maximum benefit of the aid. It was just a couple of years ago, as budget pressures rose and evidence mounted that more lives could be saved with a more flexible approach to food aid, that the U.S. government began a pilot project to include cash purchases abroad in addition to the food shipments from home.
Much of that evidence was coming from the WFP's own local purchase program called Purchase for Progress. This program encouraged African farmers to grow more and better-quality crops and to practice better harvesting and storing methods. As the WFP bought their maize and beans and peas and lentils, the farmers found incentive to further increase production and quality. Purchase for Progress gained steam under WFP executive director Josette Sheeran and should continue to build under her successor, Ertharin Cousin.
The U.S. has for many years been the WFP's largest donor, with the vast bulk of its contributions being in U.S. grown commodities. Now the U.S. has also become one of the largest cash contributors to the WFP. For 2012, the US contribution to the WFP has reached the equivalent of $365 million, with $36 million in cash.
But now the progress to a quicker, cheaper, more efficient, greater life-saving food aid program is under threat by the budget slashers who continue to see foreign aid, and particularly food aid, as a prime target. The 2013 budget passed by the House would eliminate the one program, the President's Feed the Future initiative, that is hastening food aid reform.
The explanation of the budget cutters is rife with misconceptions. They insist it is better to reduce costs in the current food aid programs than to start new initiatives like Feed the Future. Lowering the cost of food aid would mean more local purchase, which spares the huge expense of shipping. In order for the WFP and other hunger relief groups to do more local purchase, African farmers need to be growing more food. And that is a main aim of Feed the Future's agricultural development goals. It is a simple progression, a crisp one-two punch against the deficit: Grow more in Africa, ship less from America.
Speaking of the World Food Program, check out this video marking the WFP's 50th anniversary:
It features an eclectic mix: Bill Gates, rapper Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, and me…among others.
Remembering the Post-9/11 Promises to Raise Foreign AidThe 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks is bringing back a rush of memories and emotions. Everyone it seems is recalling, with respect for the victims, where they were on that day when they heard or watched the horrific news.
Coping with DroughtWith drought devastating farms from the Horn of Africa to the Panhandle of Texas, I journeyed to one of the frontlines of climate change to "chew the news," as the Maasai say.
Harvest and Hunger – Part 2At 6:30 this morning, as the sun was coming up, Sanet Biketi walked out of his small house made of mud and sticks. Carrying a machete at his side, he headed straight to the edge of his maize field and said a prayer of thanksgiving for the arrival of harvest day.
Harvest and HungerTwo scenes from the great African paradox of surplus and shortage – feast and famine – in the same country.
Empty Promises, Empty StomachsThe promises made by the leaders of the rich world in L'Aquila, Italy, two years ago were supposed to stop what is now happening in the Horn of Africa. But those pledges haven't been kept, and starvation is raging once again.
Rowing in the Same DirectionVision. Strategy. Tactics.
These were the priorities that emerged at my table during a discussion about the role of U.S. universities, government agencies, NGOs, foundations and the African diplomatic community in advancing African development.
Political WillThe Nigerian ambassador to the U.S., Adebowale Ibidapo Adefuye, tells an acerbic joke to illustrate the importance of good leadership.
Countering DroughtThis growing season in south-central Kenya has been a good test for the new drought tolerant maize varieties being bred in Africa. This is a semi-arid area, but this year they can drop the semi. Farmers report only three short periods of rain since the February planting time.
Cool BeansFor some farmers in western Kenya, the hunger season I wrote about last week is coming to a mercifully early end. A new variety of bean is ready for harvest.
The Hunger SeasonThe hunger season is especially cruel this year.
Big Brains on Little BrainsLittle brains were on the minds of some pretty big brains in the fight against hunger at the Chicago Council's Symposium on Global Agriculture and Food Security this week.
The Importance of InnovationBill Gates came to the Chicago Council's Symposium on Global Agriculture and Food Security with a confession. "I've never been a farmer," he said. "Until recently, I rarely set foot on farm."
Public Policy MattersI enjoyed the great privilege of giving my first commencement speech on Sunday, to the graduating class of the Robert M. La Follette School of Public Affairs at the University of Wisconsin. I had eagerly anticipated the ceremony, knowing that the passion to shape a more just world inspires young policy makers as mightily as it fuels journalists.
Something to CutWith many words in this column, we have discussed what not to cut from the federal budget. Namely, administration requests to fund agriculture development, especially in Africa, under the Feed the Future initiative and the Global Agriculture Food Security Program.
Yin and Yang of Foreign AidHere is the Yin and the Yang of development aid spending: In the U.S., it is on the chopping block, threatened by budget cutters sharpening their knives; in China it is on an expansion course, favored by a government seeking to accumulate influence and riches in the developing world, particularly Africa.

The 1,000 days period is the crucial period of development, when malnutrition can have severe life-long impacts on the individual, the family and society as a whole. Nutritional deficiencies that occur during this time are often overlooked, resulting in a hidden hunger. It is a problem of great human and economic dimensions, impacting rich and poor countries alike.
The Last Hunger Season
In The Last Hunger Season, the intimate dramas of the farmers' lives unfold amidst growing awareness that to feed the world's growing population, food production must double by 2050. How will the farmers, Africa, and a hungrier world deal with issues of water usage, land ownership, foreign investment, corruption, GMO's, the changing role of women, and the politics of foreign aid?
Roger Thurow and Scott Kilman, award-winning writers on Africa, development, and agriculture, see famine as the result of bad policies spanning the political spectrum. In this compelling investigative narrative, they explain through vivid human stories how the agricultural revolutions that transformed Asia and Latin America stopped short in Africa, and how our sometimes well-intentioned strategies—alternating with ignorance and neglect—have conspired to keep the world's poorest people hungry and unable to feed themselves.

The easiest part getting down to Southport rd. is getting onto 70e/65s from Delaware street. However, once I'm 65 southbound I seem to run into stalled traffic more times than not. Once the 70 west split hits, it's clear traffic.
Going to Shadeland from my house is much easier. I veer left to stay on 70e and get off at the Shadeland exit. The issues on shadeland are traffic lights are really quick, it's hard to turn left out of businesses, there's medians which force a right turn, and potholes.

Business Financial Planning For 2020
With the new year now underway, you should hopefully be getting back into the swing of things at work. But it is still early days, and if you haven't already, you should be thinking about what you want the year to look like, what your goals are and what you can do to achieve them. Part of that will be planning out your finances for the year, and understanding what those numbers mean – not to mention what to do with them once you've got them. This is called business financial planning, and it's something not enough business owners engage in. So today we have 6 steps for you to follow that will help you create a financial plan for 2020, and ultimately help you achieve your goals.
Review Your Strategic Plan
The financial planning process should start with your company's strategic plan. This means thinking about what you want to accomplish in the next 12 months and asking yourself a series of questions:
- Do I need to expand?
- Do I need more equipment?
- Do I need to hire more staff?
- Do I need other new resources?
- How will my plan affect my cash flow?
- Will I need financing? If yes, how much?
The answers to these questions will help you understand what the financial impact of the next 12 months will be on your business, including identifying any spending on major projects that need to be done.
Develop Financial Projections
Once you know roughly what your plans look like, you should start creating monthly financial projections. You do this by recording your anticipated income based on your sales forecasts and your expected expenses for labour, supplies and overheads. If your cash flow is quite tight, then you might want to do this weekly, rather than monthly. Once you have the basics, you can plug in the costs of the projects above. There are lots of ways you can do this, from spreadsheets to sophisticated software, so you can make sure it works for you.
This gives you the basics of a financial projection, and allows you to see what your business will look like in the months to come. If you're not great with numbers, run them by your accountant or a financial adviser to double check.
Arrange Financing
During this exercise you may have found some areas you need support in. Periods where cash flow could be an issue, or you have a hole in the accounts that needs some larger-scale financing. By working all of this out in advance, you will be able to approach your financial partners ahead of time to discuss your options and plan any project financing. Not to mention that well-prepared projections will help reassure bankers that your financial management is solid and you aren't a risky investment.
Plan for Contingencies
On top of your day-to-day spending, you should also be sure to have a contingency in place. What would you do if your finances suddenly deteriorated, you were hacked, or there was a large expense you needed to pay? In these situations, it's important to have an emergency source of money before you need them. There are a lot of possibilities for this, including maintaining a cash reserve, or keeping lots of room on your lines of credit. Review your finances and your plans now, and work out what your contingency plan is, just in case something does go wrong.
The key to good financial planning is to maintain it. A plan is no good if it's looked at once and then shoved into a drawer, never to see the light of day. Throughout the year, compare actual results with your projections to see if you're on target, or if you need to adjust things. Monitoring your financial plans helps you spot problems before they get out of hand.
Get Help
If all of this sounds a bit much, and you aren't sure where to start, we recommend you don't try it alone. There are plenty of financial advisers out there (including us) who can help you understand your business goals, and work with you to create a financial plan that suits you and will help you achieve your business goals.
At Chilvester Financial, we aim to provide just the financial advice you need, when you need it. We don't use jargon, and because we are chartered, we are completely unbiased, which means you only get advice that is right for you. What's more, you'll find us on the high-street, so you can easily come in and chat things through with us. If you would like to know more about financial planning for your business, just get in touch today and book your consultation with one of our advisers.

This different way of seeing the world can tip Thinking/Feeling Personality Type couples either one way or the other.More often than not, individuals with similarities in the Decision-Making Preference will tend to enter friendships or work camaraderie's more quickly or more easily than two individuals of differing preferences.
The next part always shocks them: we don't use the Myers-Briggs. When I tell them that the personality type they just told me isn't used and doesn't have much meaning to me, they can't believe it.
In this crowd of 20-something New Yorkers, the clubber is, truly, an oddball. University of Pennsylvania professor of psychology Adam Grant says it doesn't stand up to scientific scrutiny.
Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers drew from influential psychologist Carl Jung's theories to invent the MBTI personality test in 1942. " quizzes, MBTI is a personality test that, while still reductive, actually indicates something about personality. "In social science, we use four standards: Are the categories reliable, valid, independent, and comprehensive? "For the MBTI, the evidence says not very, no, no, and not really."Grant points out that the test ignores important personality features, such as the ability to stay calm under stress.
Here's a list of why we don't use it: Carl Jung first theorized different categories of personality back in 1921.
He did this purely based on his own experiences, and not on any type of empirical testing of the theory.

Smooth operators: students complete Ladybird Guide to Spacecraft Operations Training Course 2019
Spacecraft are complex machines requiring dedicated staff to maintain their operations over the entire duration of a mission. To help prepare the next generation of spacecraft operators, ESA Academy has run the Ladybird Guide to Spacecraft Operations Training Course 2019. From 3 – 6 September, 30 Bachelor, Master, and PhD students with a science or engineering background, from 13 different ESA Member States and Canada, attended at ESA Academy's Training and Learning Facility, ESEC-Galaxia, Belgium. They were joined remotely by 23 university students participating online, watching lectures streamed live or playing them back later, and interacting with the tutor via a forum.
The objective of the training course was to introduce students to the world of operations, teaching them how to think like operators, and showing how each subsystem of a spacecraft influences the way it is operated. Leading the tuition was a senior engineer from ESA's European Space Operations Centre in Germany. Course delivery was in the "Ladybird" style: without technical or mathematical jargon, but giving a comprehensive view of spacecraft subsystems and operations."I feel like I learned as much during this four-day course as I would in a year at university,"enthused a British student from the University of Leicester."I want to use what I learned to explore areas of the aerospace industry I hadn't even considered before."
The course's foundations were delivered through lectures filled with real-life examples. What operational mistakes have been made in the past, and what can we learn from them? Students were challenged to examine scenarios, determine what had gone wrong, and suggest practical ways of fixing problems – or, ideally, avoiding them altogether. Tips on how to be a good operator were offered, along with common pitfalls. Then, spacecraft subsystems were discussed in detail, delving into the advantages and problems of the technologies involved.
The students' new knowledge was put to the test in a group exercise. Split into three teams, the participants were tasked with devising basic designs for a space mission. On the final day, each team's design was put to the test as they were presented with a simulated scenario in which their spacecraft encountered difficulties. Could the students use their burgeoning operational skills to determine the issue and save their spacecraft? Happily, all three teams rose to the challenge and emerged victorious!
Explained a German student from the Technical University of Munich: "These past four days at ESEC-Galaxia brought me an unforgettable experience that has deeply strengthened my wish to pursue a career in the space sector in future. One of the best parts about this course is that you will have the opportunity to understand what really matters when operating a spacecraft and how to maintain a strong mindset under the operational pressure. Aside from that, working on a space-related project with inspiring people from different countries was such a thrilling experience; it definitely belongs to those things that you wish to do for the rest of your life."
As a bonus during the week, the students had the opportunity to visit ESEC-Redu for a special tour of the site, including inside an antenna and the PROBA satellites' operation centre. This gave the students a valuable experience for which they were very appreciative.
The on-site students were evaluated during the group exercise and, in conjunction with their certificate of attendance, this allows them to gain ECTS credit(s) from their universities. The remote students will be evaluated using an online questionnaire before receiving their certificates of attendance. In addition, seven of the online students formed a team and took part in the group exercise, working diligently and obtaining a good end result!
"Although I'm a Space Engineering student, I didn't know the world of spacecraft operations,"summarised an Italian student from the University of Pisa, participating online. "It is sensational how such an intensive course can provide solid knowledge through a very good teacher, very interesting material and exceptional general organisation. The atmosphere that was created with students from other nations and different technical backgrounds made me feel really part of the ESA experts' world."
