Retro Movie Moments - The Serpent and the Rainbow
Before all that zombie money was helping to run Hollywood, we had Bill Pullman running around Haiti trying to find the chemical compound to turns people into zombies (while not getting turned into one himself). This was based on a pretty dry nonfiction book of the same title which was turned into this outlandish movie, barely resembling the source material at all.
So yes, you are correct. This is not a documentary.

Sayonara Wild Hearts is a visual and audio feast for the eyes. There's really nothing else quite like it on Switch. It's a gorgeous rhythm game that tries to attack the player with sights and sounds, rather than complex controls. In an interview with Gamasutra, Simogo co-founder Simon Flesser explains why it was important to keep the controls as simple as possible.
"Almost all of our games have had the same core idea for controls–we always design them so that you could put it into the hands of person who have not ever played a game before. That doesn't stop us from getting inspired by other games. But [by] thinking about controls like a total reset, you'll get something both unique and inviting.
It was the simplicity that allowed us to add all these different elements. It's introduced slowly, so players understand early on that new objects don't need new interactions, or more buttons. We shaved off interactions that strayed from the basic interactions -- both the cannons and the bow and arrow involved more interactions for a long time -- but we'd always come back to those things and remove and redesign functions so they'd always work with our core inputs and design. This allowed us to never once have a traditional tutorial during the entire game."

There is only one truly elite part of the British Army, and that is the SAS; the term is justified here because they can take the best from other units. That is invariably the case in the East; a story always sounds clear enough at a distance, but the nearer you get to the scene of events the vaguer it becomes.
You come upon monstrous clay chasms hundreds of feet across and almost as deep, with little rusty tubs creeping on chain railways up one side, and on the other workmen clinging like samphire-gatherers and cutting into the face of the cliff with their picks.
It raises in you a momentary doubt about your own status as an 'intellectual' and a superior person generally. When you have finally got there—and getting there is a in itself: The Tramp Major give me back my box of fag ends when we come out this morning.
As the repression went on, month after month, it became less and less discriminating. You do not notice the effect of this till you have gone a few hundred yards.

He becomes a sort of hollow, posing dummy, the conventionalized figure of a sahib. Look at it from a purely aesthetic standpoint and it may, have a certain macabre appeal. One of our subscribers to my knowledge read four or five detective stories every week for over a year, besides others which he got from another library.
As for the job I was doing, I hated it more bitterly than I can perhaps make clear. His semi-erect cock is deflating, but dribbling pre-cum. Smashed bones also disable tactical necessities like hands an feet.
Occasionally, of course, the charge is too powerful, and then it not only brings the coal out but brings the roof down as well. It may seem that I am exaggerating, though no one who has been down an old-fashioned pit most of the pits in England are old-fashioned and actually gone as far as the coal face, is likely to say so.
In all novels about the East the scenery is the real subject-matter.

Rufina's story came to Washington just when the country's paramount Cold War national-security concerns were clashing — as loudly and unambiguously as they ever would during four decades — with its professed high-minded respect for human rights.
The industrial towns of the North are ugly because they happen to have been built at a time when modern methods of steel-construction and smoke-abatement were unknown, and when everyone was too busy making money to think about anything else.
I perceived in this moment that when the white man turns tyrant it is his own freedom that he destroys. I often wondered whether any of the others grasped that I had done it solely to avoid looking a fool. He was dangling with his toes pointed straight downwards, very slowly revolving, as dead as a stone.
She was slicing on a tall round of wood, so her hand could be below the plane of the chopping block. However any sharp heavy blade will do the job also.
Secondly, does it matter? Short, with the simple face and large nose of a Salvadoran peasant, he walked with the peasant's long, loping stride, which made his distinctly nonmartial figure recognizable from far off. In the end one gets to know these people almost at a glance.
It was a disgusting sight, that bathroom. As already mentioned, if the product is used in the correct way, the risk of experiencing problems is minimal. It was perfectly clear to me what I ought to do. I am handicapped by being exceptionally tall, but when the roof falls to four feet or less it is a tough job for anybody except a dwarf or a child.

Behaviour Policy
All children and adults are treated with equal concern and are made to feel welcome in my home. I aim to offer a quality childcare service for parents and children. I recognise the need to set out reasonable and appropriate limits to help manage the behaviour of children in my care.
By providing a happy, safe environment, the children in my care will be encouraged to develop social skills to help them be accepted and welcome in society as they grow up.
I do not, and will not, administer physical or any other form of punishment with the intention of causing pain or discomfort, nor any kind of humiliating or hurtful treatment to any child in my care.
I endorse positive discipline as a more effective way of setting boundaries for children.
Procedure (how I put the statement into practice)
I keep up to date with behaviour management issues and relevant legislation by taking regular training and by reading relevant publications, such as Nursery World.
All parents receive a copy of my Behaviour Policy.
I agree methods to manage children's behaviour with parents before the placement starts. These are discussed with parents during initial visits before the contract is signed to ensure appropriate care can be provided.
Wherever possible I try to meet parents' requests for the care of their children according to their values and practices. Records of these requirements are agreed and kept attached to the child record forms. These records are revisited and updated during regular reviews with parents.
I expect parents to inform me of any changes in the child's home circumstances, care arrangements or any other change which may affect the child's behaviour such as a new baby, parents' separation, divorce, new partner or any bereavement. All information shared will be kept confidential unless there appears to be a child protection issue.
I offer regular review meetings with parents to discuss their child's care and any issues or concerns, preferably when the child is not present. If I do not share the same first language as the child's parent, I will find a way of communicating effectively with them. This may include seeking guidance from the local early year's team.
I work together with parents to make sure there is consistency in the way the children are cared for. A consistent approach benefits the child's welfare and helps ensure that the child is not confused.
I will only physically intervene, and possibly restrain, a child to prevent an accident, such as a child running into the road, or to prevent an injury or damage.
Children are guided away from doing things which:
Are dangerous or hurtful or offensive to someone else
Are dangerous to the child
Will make the child unwelcome or unacceptable to other people
Damage other people's property.
All significant incidents are recorded in an incident book and will be shared and discussed with the parents of the child concerned so that together we can work to resolve any behavioural issues.
From time to time children will have difficulty learning to deal with their emotions and feelings and this is a normal part of child development. I will acknowledge these feelings and try to help children to find constructive solutions in liaison with their parents.
Distracting and re-directing children's activities are used as a way of discouraging unwanted behaviour.
I encourage responsibility by talking to children about choices and their possible consequences.
I aim to be firm and consistent so that children know and feel secure within the boundaries I set.
I will respond positively to children who constantly seek attention or are disruptive.
I will help children maintain their self-esteem by showing I disapprove of their bad behaviour not the child themselves.
If I have concerns about a child's behaviour which are not being resolved, I will ask for permission from the parents to talk it through with another childcare professional. I may contact the National Childminding Association, the NSPCC, health visitor or the local early years team (or other relevant advice service) for confidential advice.
Concerns that could identify a particular child are kept confidential and only shared with people who need to know this information.
I encourage appropriate behaviour by:
Setting a good example, I aim to be a positive role model as children copy what they see. Children learn values and behaviour from adults.
I readily praise, approve and reward wanted behaviour, such as sharing, to encourage it to be repeated. Using praise helps to show that I value the child and it helps to build their self-esteem.
I praise children to their parents and other people when they have behaved as expected.
I try to be consistent when saying "no" and explain reasons why it is not appropriate and considered unwanted behaviour.
My expectations are flexible and realistic and are adjusted to the age, level of understanding, maturity and stage of development of the child.
I try to involving children in setting and agreeing house rules.
House rules may include:
We take off our outside shoes when we go in to the house to keep the house clean.
We do not swear, call each other names, fight or deliberately hurt anyone else.
We eat and drink at the table or on a blanket outside to help keep the house clean and to avoid accidents.
We keep the air free from smoke.
We are kind to each other.
We take care of the toys, furniture and other equipment.
Meeting the Early Years Foundation Stage welfare requirements
Safeguarding and promoting children's welfare – Children's behaviour must be managed effectively and in a manner appropriate for their stage of development and particular individual needs.
More information.
Positive discipline means:
Rewarding good behaviour. Because rewards are constructive, they encourage further effort. Punishment is destructive – it humiliates children and makes them feel powerless.
Encouraging self-discipline and respect for others. Because children need to grow into people who behave well even when there's no one to tell them what to do.
Setting realistic limits according to age and stage of development. Because as children grow and develop our expectations of them change.
Setting a good example. Because young children take more notice than we might think of how we behave and what we say.
Encouragement, not orders and instructions. Because "Do as you're told" teaches nothing for next time. Positive discipline involves explaining why.
Being consistent – saying no and meaning no. Because children need to know where they stand and it helps if they know that we mean what we say.
Praise, appreciation and attention. Because when children are used to getting attention with good behaviour, they won't seek it by misbehaving.
Building children's self-esteem. Shaming, scolding, hurting and humiliating children can lead to even worse behaviour. Attention, approval and praise can build self-esteem and a child who feels valued is more likely to behave well.

Camels are one of the oldest breeds that come from prehistoric times. Camels are mammals (this means that camels have babies, they do not lay eggs.) Camels are also called Afro-Asiatic Camelids, and there are just two kinds of camels in the world. People have domesticated (made them pets) camels for about 5,000 years. These "pet" camels are used to carry things, and let the owners ride them. Their hair is thick and good to turn into blankets, and clothing. They are used for riding and to carry things and they are also used for food.
Camels are able to live in very hot and dry places; these places are called deserts. Camels have a thick coat of hair that protects them from the sun; they have very wide, soft feet that allow them to walk a long time in the hot sand. Their large feet spread their weight on the sand when they are walking.
Camels can eat and drink large amounts of food and water. Their bodies turn the food into fat that is stored in the hump on their back; this hump stands strong and straight when it is full but after days of not eating or drinking the camel's body absorbs the fat and the hump goes soft and floppy.
Camels have bushy eyebrows that don't let the sand go in their eyes in a sandstorm, and two sets of eyelashes for the same reason. They have muscles in their nostrils that close into wee slits to help stop sand blowing up the nostrils in sandstorms. The camels' thick, rubbery lips allow them to eat dry, prickly plants and they have a large, hairy tail that they put to good use swatting mosquitos and flies. They have long thinnish necks that help them reach high leaves in trees and they have rubbery patches on their tummies and knees to protect their skin when they kneel in the hot sand.
Yes! Camels are made to live through hot windy weather and sandstorms in the deserts.
Camels live in groups, with one male, several females, and their young calves.
Camels will eat anything they can reach, if they have no grains, wheat and leaves nearby. They strangely do not chew properly when they do get food; they swallow the half-chewed food and this then sits in the first part of their stomachs. Then after a while this food gets brought back into their mouth and they chew away on that for a while before swallowing it. Then the camel swallows this (it is called the cud) and it goes to the other parts of the stomach to be completely digested.
When a domesticated camel calf becomes a year old, the owner may teach it to stand and kneel on command. They also learn to carry small, light packs around. As they grow older, the size of the pack also increases.
Riding Camels
This is not as easy as you may think. There are some things you would really need to learn to ride a camel for days through the desert sands and sand dunes.
Wear long pants and long socks to protect your skin. Your socks should come up as high as you can.
You will need to wear a sunhat and sunglasses and a long scarf or bandanna to protect your face in case of a dust storm. Modern desert riders wear dust goggles if there are dust/sandstorms blowing
Getting on the camel is the hardest part of riding. Some people "leapfrog" into the saddle from behind the camel. As a beginner, you won't be doing this, especially if you are riding a Bactrian camel which has two humps!
The camel should be sitting right down on the ground when you want to mount it. You will go up to the side of the camel slowly but confidently. Don't look the camel in the eyes. Throw your leg over the middle of a camel with two humps and quickly mount it.
You want to be sitting squarely in the saddle on the camel's back, to keep your balance as the camel stands up – after that you can move your legs to get more comfortable. There will be a handle on the front of the saddle to help you hold on as the camel stands up.
Lean backward as the camel starts to stand up. Camels stand up with their back legs first, and if you are not holding tightly, you could be thrown face first into the camel's neck. Slowly lean forward as it gets onto its front legs.
Now it is time to cross your legs. Yes, you sit cross-legged on a camel, you don't ride it as you would a horse!
You can wrap one or both legs around the saddle post. This will also help you keep your balance.
Let yourself sway with the camel. A camel's walk is odd, irregular, and herky-jerky. People who have ridden camels say they can feel quite sea-sick, as the camel sways around like a boat on a choppy sea.
Camels don't listen to anyone except their owners so you will not be expected to show the camel what to do with your heels or with reins as you would when riding a horse.
You can only get off the camel when it is back sitting really flat on the ground again.

Following a national holiday marred by incidents of unrest and violence on the French capital's emblematic Champs-Elysees Avenue, Jeanne d'Hauteserre, mayor of the surrounding 8th arrondissement, told French media enough was enough.
"Shopkeepers are forming an association to file a complaint against the state for failing to protect their businesses," d'Hauteserre told French television BFM-TV.
"And I am calling for a ban of any public demonstrations in the 8th arrondissement, because we've had as much as we can take."
The famous avenue has been a flashpoint of protests and occasional rioting from the Yellow Vest movement since it began in autumn 2018.
July 14 Paris protests
Paris police said it would not authorise any demonstrations around the avenue following a particularly destructive Yellow Vest protest in March that saw several shops and restaurants being pillaged.
Sunday's incidents marked the first on the avenue since then.
Incidents throughout the day
The first incidents came during the annual Bastille Day military parade, when protesters booed President Emmanuel Macron.
Organisers of the Yellow Vest movement were present, though they were not wearing the reflective vests, and security forces often had difficulty telling them apart from tourists and other onlookers.
When the avenue reopened following the parade in the afternoon, protesters dressed in black knocked over metal barriers that had been used to cordon off spectators and set garbage cans afire. Police pursued demonstrators who hid in adjacent streets.
Paris police chief Didier Lallement said at the end of the afternoon that some 200 rioters had taken part in events that saw some shop windows and a bus shelter destroyed.
"We repelled them," he said. "Destructions were minimised, there was no pillaging."
But in d'Hauteserre's view, the security forces were not sufficiently prepared.
"There was a lack of anticipation," said d'Hauteserre. "There were some police officers, but not enough to prevent them [protesters] from spreading chaos.
"Some shopkeepers called me, completely distraught. Terraces were open, customers were evacuated and staff were sheltered."
In total, 180 people were arrested, of whom 38 were taken into custody.
Algeria football celebrations
In the evening, new crows formed on the avenue, this time supporters of the Algeria national football team, who were facing Nigeria in a semi-final match of the Africa Cup of Nations tournament.
Unrest on the margins of the celebrations of the team's win led to additional vandalism of the avenue's shops and other businesses.
Police made 50 additional arrests and issued 202 disciplinary actions for dangerous driving.
"We understand the celebration, the joy, but there's a limit to what's acceptable," d'Hauteserre said, adding she feared a repeat of the incidents during the final of the tournament on Friday.

Okay, so he may not be the most charismatic goblin on the open seas but... Oh.. Wait. He probably is. Fortunately for him, he has some rather loyal minions on hand. You may be wondering where the golem that punched Steve earlier is. He's below deck, it takes him a while to move about the ship, being all huge and made of clay and such.

The milder temperatures of Autumn make this a wonderful time to work in the garden – or amongst your balcony pots.
Here's a list of jobs to be done over the next few weeks, and what you can plant for fresh food and bright colour over the coming months.
What to do
– Remove weeds and spread compost over the soil to insulate plant roots.
– Rake up autumn leaves and either add them to the compost bin, mulch them down and place them on the garden beds or throw them in a corner and leave them to break down into humus over the winter months.
– Trim hedges to encourage compact growth.
– Weed and mow lawns, then give them a final feed before winter sets in.
– Harvest and clear away old vegetable crops.
– Pull down unnecessary plant supports and store them away until next year.
– Make repairs. Fix or throw out old furniture, support structures, trellis, broken pots and tools.
– Clean out the pond or water feature.
What to plant
If you have space for a kitchen garden, plant spinach, kale, broad beans, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower. Asian greens, lettuce, rocket and peas can be grown in garden beds or containers, while herbs such as coriander, chives and parsley will thrive in any position so long as they get some sun regularly – even on a kitchen windowsill.
For winter colour, plant containers and hanging baskets with flowers like chrysanthemums, viola, pansies, lobelia, carnations, sweet peas, alyssum and calendula.
Australia has so many variations in season – not only between the cool southern to sub-tropical northern states, but even within regions. If you are not sure what you should be growing in your area, ask at your local nursery.
Autumn is also ideal for planning your Spring/Summer garden, and planting out bare-rooted rose bushes, shrubs or trees so they have time to settle in before the growing season kicks in.

Almost four years into the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the world, especially developing countries, faces a narrowing window of opportunity to improve the lives of billions within that timeframe, or indeed sooner. Amongst the 169 targets to be achieved through 17 SDGs, SDG 7 is based on a relatively small set of targets, but in terms of ambition they are quite enough for policymakers and businesses to grapple with.
Nowhere is a sense of urgency greater than with SDG 7 which targets to "Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy access for all" — an area that is both lagging, but concurrently, holds enough potential to be achieved. Energy or SDG 7 is at the heart of SDGs, and is considered to play an important role from job creation to economic development, and from security concerns to the full empowerment of women.
The signs are worrisome though. According to a recent report published by the International Energy Agency (IEA), installations of renewable energy the world over plateaued in 2018 for the first time in nearly two decades of record keeping. This is the first occasion since 2001 that renewables around the world added as much total capacity of 180 GW in 2018 as they did in 2017, an unexpected flattening of growth trends that has raised concerns about meeting long-term climate goals. Even if it's just a temporary hiccup, a pause in installations is an extremely worrisome sign about the world's ambition to address climate crisis (climate change).
Whereas, renewables is supposed to have a major role to play in curbing global emissions, its capacity additions need to grow by over 300 GW on average each year between 2018 and 2030 to reach the goals of the Paris Agreement (2015), according to the IEA's Sustainable Development Scenario (SDS).
Delivering sustainable energy for all by 2030 not only means vastly increasing the amount of renewable power sources pretty much everywhere, but also cleaning up the energy used in transport and homes, where progress on limiting emissions has remained frustratingly stagnant.
According to an estimate there are around 60 million individuals in Pakistan who are still off grid with no access to electricity, let alone clean green energy. The number swells up when people who have a substandard and irregular access to the grid are included to the list. The gap further widens when one takes into account the shortfall between the demand and supply of energy within the country. To better understand the role of renewable energy in Pakistan, one has to first understand the energy needs of the country and the fuel mix evolution.
According to figures from the Federal Ministry of Energy, Power Division, the country has almost doubled its generation capacity from 17,796 MWs to 33,836 MWs in the past decade (2008-2018). But a breakdown of the installed capacity reveals that the country in order to uplift its beleaguered power sector opted for quick fix solutions. Whereas, the energy industry the world over is going through a massive shift driven by green energy solutions and new energy policies, Pakistan's current energy mix reveals a dismal 5 percent share of renewables which includes energy from solar and wind only (hydel constitutes for 27 percent of the total energy mix).
Our reliance on thermal power generation constitutes for more than half of our energy mix which includes 16 percent from furnace oil, 12 percent from gas, 26 percent from RLNG, 9 percent from coal and 5 percent from nuclear. For an oil importing country our reliance on thermal power generation indicates a policy failure in the power sector. Burning costly furnace oil and imported RLNG to meet our energy demands has already ballooned into a circular debt of around Rs1.5 trillion that not only poses a potential threat to crippling the economy but also signals towards an energy apocalypse if the circular debt increases and is not paid off. Experts opine whereas the energy mix of a country is a true barometer of its industrial solvency, the case of Pakistan producing expensive electricity and then providing it on a subsidised rate is a recipe of disaster — an idea the country has been romancing with for quite some time now.
At a national or local level, there are many models being used around the world to encourage the deployment of clean energy technologies. But the high upfront capital costs attached with the clean energy technologies and not yet price competitive with conventional fossil fuel technologies, provides less of an incentive for the private sector to invest. So instead of subsidising the clean energy sector, the country is suffering from a case of misplaced subsidies, where the government is subsidising fossil fuels in an attempt to reduce the economic burden of international prices. These subsidies are making it even harder for renewable technologies to compete. Reallocation of subsidies to cleaner sources of energy would allow an easier adoption of these technologies instead of perpetuating the consumption of fossil fuels.
It is worth mentioning that renewable technologies may be more easily implemented in rural "off-grid" areas. In these locations, the lack of infrastructure for conventional energy sources may make it more cost-effective to install local renewable energy systems. An interesting example of this could be the population living in Gilgit-Baltistan and parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and rural Balochistan where energy requirement in winters increases. These regions mainly depend on energy from hydel resources but during winters when rivers freeze, people are left with no option but to rely on wood and LPG to fulfill their energy needs.
Within the current scenario it looks quite impossible for the country to meet the SDG goal 7 by 2030. Even though, the Federal Ministry of Energy has provided itself an ambitious target of increasing the share of renewables from 32 percent (which includes 27 percent hydro and 5 percent wind and solar) to 61 percent (out of which 50 percent will be hydro and 11 percent will harness solar and wind energy) in the country's energy mix by the year 2030.
What's more, this clean energy revolution needs to be completed in a society where around a quarter of the population still lacks access to electricity, and the availability of clean and modern cooking energy is only just keeping pace with population growth, leaving millions of people relying on dangerous, unsustainable, and polluting fuels. A transition to clean energy will not only strengthen energy security but will also reduce air pollution and diversify fuel sources.

Deciphering the extinction of the world's biggest shark.
When she isn't writing for the guardian, featuring in documentaries or championing science communication, Dr Catalina Pimiento can be found in field sites and natural history museums, investigating the biggest shark that ever lived.
Megalodon (Carcharocles megalodon) went extinct 2.6 million years ago. Biology can be less than straight forward at the best of times, but how do you research ecology when your study species no longer exists?
To address biological questions guarded by geological time, palaeontologists must carry out detective work. Dr Pimiento uses fossils, modelling and comparisons with potentially analogous systems found today to gather evidence for theories on the ecology, evolution and extinctions of prehistoric sharks.
One of the particular challenges of researching Megalodon is that sharks, as elasmobranchs, have cartilaginous skeletons; generally all that fossilises are the teeth.
Fortunately, the hydrodynamics of swimming mean many benthic aquatic creatures evolve convergent body plans, helping researchers to use the shape and size of teeth to extrapolate morphological information.
Along with other lines of investigation, these expected morphologies can lead to surprisingly detailed insights into of many aspects of Megalodon biology; from how they fed to why they went extinct.
Prior to Dr Pimiento's research, prominent theories suggested a global temperature change was responsible for Megalodon extinction. Using a combination of climate and distribution modelling, Pimiento showed that though the timing of the two events correlated, ocean temperature was not the cause.
Like the Great Whites of today, Megalodon is expected to have been mesothermic; (able to partially regulate it's body temperature), enabling it to survive in a range of ocean temperatures at the time of its demise.
However, this apparent advantage seems to be the reason behind its downfall. The high energy demand of maintaining a mesothermic metabolism could be why Megalodon, among other species, was unable to cope with ecological changes in the world's oceans, caused by the fall in global sea levels following the temperature drop.
Importantly, Pimiento showed this Pliocene extinction event resulted in not only a loss of species, but loss of functional traits.
Lower trophic levels have higher functional redundancy; multiple species overlap in ecological roles. Higher trophic levels – containing apex predators like Megalodon – are not as robust; loss of a single species is more likely to lead to a larger overall loss of ecosystem function. Losing one apex predator could be as bad as losing multiple species further down the food web, potentially destabilising an ecosystem towards ecological collapse.
No apex predators have yet been lost from modern oceans, but fauna is still recovering from a "recent" extinction event, and so is vulnerable.
More than a fascinating puzzle about a charismatic species, the no-longer-mysterious extinction of Megalodon serves to highlight the complex and unexpected responses that species can have to changes in their environments, and how we must understand and protect our ecosystems, so as not to lose the oceanic giants of today.

I am very excited about this opportunity to share my perspectives and experience in my BeyeNETWORK Blog. For those of you who may not have read my articles and newsletters over the past few years, I hope you will appreciate a vendor-independent perspective on all things related to Business Performance Management (BPM). I focus on key topics organizations should consider throughout their BPM project lifecycle, from early stage requirements definition and justification, key measure development, vendor selection and finally, successful deployment and rollout. Of course, market trends and vendor updates will also be part of the mix. Please stop by on a regular basis to see what's new, and to make this interactive, please share your opinions. If you have a specific question, contact me directly at email@example.com.
Craig, President and CEO of BPM Partners, is a pioneer in business performance management (BPM). Craig helped create and define the field as it evolved from business intelligence and analytic applications into BPM. He has worked with BPM and related technologies for more than 20 years, first as a founding member at IMRS/Hyperion Software (now Hyperion Solutions) and later cofounded OutlookSoft where he was President and CEO.
Craig is a frequent author on BPM topics and monthly columnist for the BeyeNETWORK. He has led several jointly produced webcasts with Business Finance Magazine including "Beyond the Hype: The Truth about BPM Vendors," the three-part vendor review entitled "BPM Xpo" and "BPM 101: Navigating the Treacherous Waters of Business Performance Management." He is a recipient of the prestigious Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award. BPM Partners is a vendor-independent professional services firm focused exclusively on BPM, providing expertise that helps companies successfully evaluate and deploy BPM systems. Craig can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Editor's Note: More articles and resources are available in Craig's BeyeNETWORK Expert Channel. Be sure to visit today!
A performance dashboard is a critical component of business performance management (BPM). Of course BPM itself is vital today to most companies who want to stay competitive, survive the downturn, and be ready for the recovery. So, getting company-wide support and ultimately rolling out a successful BPM initiative is very important. Free dashboards can jeopardize this goal. How? By being free. They allow anyone in the organization to bypass company approvals, buy-in, and therefore participation. Suppose a few well-intentioned souls in IT or Finance start using this application and then start showing it around. If they did a lousy job off on their own in the corner it will give people a poor impression of what a BPM dashboard could/should really be and turn them off to future BPM plans. More importantly, without senior participation it is almost 100% guaranteed that it will not be measuring what matters most to the organization. If it doesn't get that right, then what's the point? Going through an approval process/purchase decision elevates the visibility of the BPM project and gets buy-in (or not) at senior management levels, which is required to do BPM in a meaningful way. Technology itself is probably the least challenging aspect of BPM and this free offer is all about the technology.
On the other hand, if your organization has already bought in to BPM at the highest levels, is committed and ready to move forward, you should be able to get the senior team together to work on developing the right key performance indicators (KPIs). Once you've done that, you can use these free tools as a way to prototype your performance dashboard. Before making a big technology investment you can evaluate the level of participation and interest across the organization. When you are ready to really move forward you need to develop detailed technology requirements and go out and find the solution that best meets your needs, as you normally would. Although in this case the free dashboard performed a useful function along the way, it is highly unlikely that in the end it will be the ideal solution for this mission-critical application.
It's no secret that in many companies the relationship between Finance and IT can be somewhat strained. Business performance management (BPM) initiatives tend to bring those underlying tensions to the surface. For BPM to succeed Finance and IT need to work closely together as a team. In some companies there is such strong disagreement around BPM approaches, priorities, and technologies that they fail to reach consensus and the project simply stalls out. Of course if there was a good senior executive sponsor in place they could break through the logjam, but many companies fail to fill that role with the right person. A company we have been working with recently has absolutely no Finance/IT issues to deal with. The reason is that they took a proactive approach to head off problems of that type. They simply have the CIO reporting to the CFO.
The end result is that Finance and the business heads determine their needs and IT fulfills them. Since it is run out of Finance all projects have to fit within the financial goals of the company and demonstrate a reasonable return. Sounds like a wonderful world. The company by the way is not some crazy start-up where they also have Chief Happiness Officers, but a major organization with over $ 50 billion in annual revenues. Is this the future of IT? If this is such a great approach why aren't more companies doing this already? For one thing, it would be very difficult to change to this organizational model after the fact, especially with existing staff in those roles. For another, this approach has some of its own challenges. Does it stifle healthy debate? Do we lose some checks and balances? What caliber of CIO would be attracted to this position being subordinate to another department head? No approach is perfect. Maybe just the possibility of something like this coming to pass might make some CIOs take notice and work a little harder to get along with Finance.
As we start the new year I'd love to be optimistic and believe that people have learned from their past mistakes. Unfortunately I keep finding examples that prove just the opposite to be true. As an example here is an IT chat room post, unedited except for the removal of the name of the guilty party:
"I am having Vendor seminar as part of the BI selection process. The participants in the seminar are Board and management level. After each vendor demo I am planning to have feedback forms with parameters to rank. Could anyone suggest parameters?"
That last line is the killer. He's asking us to suggest what they should look for in a BI vendor. Obviously they have neglected the most important first step in the process: determining their detailed requirements. Then maybe, I don't know, they could possibly rank the vendors on their ability to meet their requirements! What a waste of time for the vendors and the company's senior management. They might as well pick a vendor out of a hat.
Continuing to address frequent user questions that come up at conferences let's look at BPM vs. BPM, Business Performance Management vs. Business Process Management. These two initiatives do in fact have more than their acronyms in common. When executed properly each one can improve the bottom line. How they accomplish it though is very different. Process Management is focused on optimizing individual business processes at a fairly detailed level. Improving the flow of loan paperwork and the review and approval process in a bank would be an example of this. A more efficient process should reduce costs and also potentially allow for more revenue opportunities. Performance Management focuses on higher level strategic goals. Increasing the profit margin or revenue growth rate or market share might be part of an initiative of this type. In fact, improving the efficiency of various business processes (Process Management) might be necessary to accomplish some of the strategic profitability goals of the company (Performance Management). It would seem then that the two BPMs are in fact complementary initiatives. However, don't jump to the conclusion that you should work on them together as part of one overarching 'BPM' project. It's too much for anyone to bite off. Each project has it's own set of detailed and unique requirements. The vendors that provide these solutions are different for each BPM so you have two different vendor evaluation processes to go through. Sample Performance vendors: Hyperion, Cognos, OutlookSoft. Sample Process vendors: Metastorm, Appian, Savvion. Lastly, the skill sets and domain expertise required of the team members and/or consultants also differs based on which BPM you are focused on. Our suggestion is to do the two BPMs sequentially, focusing first on where you have the greatest pain.

From birth until puberty, change is crucial: we need it to grow and mature. After we ve matured, however, our adult bodies don t need change, but rather maintenance. If you ve built the perfect house, you would want to stop adding bricks at a certain point, Walker says. When you ve built a perfect body, you d want to stop screwing around with it. But that s not how evolution works. Because natural selection cannot influence traits that show up after we have passed on our genes, we never evolved a stop switch for development, Walker says. So we keep adding bricks to the house. At first this doesn t cause much damage a sagging roof here, a broken window there. But eventually the foundation can t sustain the additions, and the house topples. This, Walker says, is ageing. Mature pierced pussy

- 2 oz. red Olives
- 2 Tbsps. Red Wine Vinegar
- 1? Tbsps. Whole Grain Dijon Mustard
- 1 Shallot
How To: Blanch
- Blanching is an essential cooking technique for any chef. Boiling ingredients for a short amount of time, then stopping the cooking process by placing the cooked vegetables in cold water will preserve their delicate crunch and bright color. Check out the video to see how it's done.
- Wash and dry the fresh produce.Heat 1 medium pot and 1 small pot of salted water to boiling on high. Peel the shallot and mince to get 2 tablespoons (you may have extra); place in a bowl with the vinegar.Snap off and discard the stem ends of the greens beans. Quarter the potatoes. Cut off and discard the root end of the romaine; roughly chop the leaves. Cut out and discard the stems, ribs and seeds of the peppers; cut into ?-inch-thick rings. Core the tomato: cut into 8 wedges. Cut off and discard the ends of the radishes; thinly slice into rounds. Pick the tarragon leaves off the stems; discard the stems.
- Fill a medium bowl with ice water and set aside. Add the green beansto the medium pot of boiling water and cook 4 to 6 minutes, or until bright green and slightly softened.Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked green beans to the bowl of ice water, leaving the pot of water boiling. Let stand until the green beans are completely cool. Drain thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels. Transfer to a large bowl.
- While the green beans cook, add the mustard to the shallot-vinegar mixture. Slowly whisk in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until well combined; season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the potatoes to the pot of boiling water used to cook the green beans. Cook 10 to 12 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot. Off the heat, add half the vinaigrette and gently toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To the bowl of blanched green beans, add the romaine,olives, peppers,tomato, radishes, dressed potatoes, arugulaand tarragon;season with salt and pepper. Add enough of the vinaigretteto coat the salad (you may have extra vinaigrette).Toss to combine and season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with jerk tofuEnjoy!

- Chop tofu into 1/2-inch cubes. Pour tofu into a gallon-sized freezer bag, and add about 4 tablespoons of cornstarch. Give everything a shake. If all tofu pieces are not coated with cornstarch, add another tablespoon and shake.
- Heat a skillet or pan over medium-high heat with 1 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil. When the pan is hot, add half of the tofu cubes. The tofu should sizzle upon contact with the pan. Lightly brown each side of the cube (about 2 minute?s total cooking time). This should take about 2 minutes.
- Dish up tofu, add remaining sesame oil to the pan, and brown remaining tofu. Dish up tofu and set everything aside.

Pine Springs Campground is a simple, desert camping area situated at the base of the mountain. Individual campsites are all at a first come, first served basis. There is no reservation system.
Campground conveniences include: potable water, accessible flush-toilet restrooms , utility sink, pay telephones, and a drink machine. There are no showers available in the campground.
Tent campers have a choice of 20 leveled, gravel sites. Small junipers and oaks partially shade most of the sites and each site has a picnic table. Numbers are limited to 6 people or 2 tents per site.
The RV camping area is a paved parking lot with 19 sites to choose from. RV sites are defined by painted lines and numbers on the pavement. There are no hook-ups and there is no dump station. RV water tanks can be filled from an outside water faucet near the registration board. RV campsite #21 is wheelchair accessible.
We camped at tent site 12. We had stunning views with some shade. The National Park staff was very informative and interactive they patrol the area frequently. They have the cleanest chemical toilets I have ever seen. Trails are beautiful and well marked. I absolutely would recommend this park to any and everyone.
Bag the peak of Guadelupe Mountains National Park and you will have bagged the highest point in Texas. The Pine Springs Campground is an excellent starting point for a trip to the park. The campground is close to the park entrance and ranger station. You'll be camping with Guadelupe Peak within your sight. However, there are a number of trailheads that you can reach from this campground - Guadelupe Peak, Devil's Hall, El Capitan and The Bowl.. The weather at the park can be brutal varying from high heat in the summer to strong winds year round to snow in the winter. Many of the hiking trails do not have tree shade, so be prepared to hike and be exposed to the sun for long periods of time. The campground has toilets and potable water, but no showers. The individual campsites are all first come, first served. I believe that the group campsites can be reserved in advance. The sunrises and sunsets at this park can be dramatic. You may not see the sun on the horizon unless you are on top of the peak, but the alpenglow on the mountains can be seen from the Pine Springs campground. There are not many towns near the park, so get your supplies before you exit I-10. Otherwise you'll need to drive far into Carlsbad, NM.
This is a beautiful park with stellar camping. It is close to all the things you'll want to do in the National Park. You are nestled among the famous cliffs and mountains of the area surrounded by interesting plants and wildlife. There are separate loops for tents and RVs with the full amenities of a state park…thankfully including water.
Yay: this is a hot and sticky area and although there are no showers the bathrooms have full water, allowing you take a washcloth bath. Sites are spread out well for good privacy.
Nay: not too much shade, but not awful for TX.
Surprise: lots of hikes leave right from the campground, simplifying the day a little! As always the rangers are great. Incredible sunsets.
We stayed here one night during our trip to Guadalupe.
Bathrooms had running water and we were able to finally wash our dishes! Lots of wildlife, we saw a javelina and her babies cruise through the campsite.
From the campground there are a multitude of trails that are easily accessible, and the campsite is not at all far from the visitor center or the main road. We loved the interpretive trail with info on all the native plant species (handicap accessible). We also saw some sheep while we where there!
Guadalupe Mountains National Park is seriously underrated. And their developed campground, Pine Springs, is a gem in the NPS.
Pine Springs is located near the visitor center and main hub of the park, making it a great base camp for epic day hikes in the park.
When we first arrived at the park, we felt adventurous and got a backcountry permit (free) for several overnights we planned to do throughout the park. However, since there is no road running up and over the huge ridge, and most of the trails don't easily connect, we quickly realized that our plans would require a lot of hauling our packs up and down 3,000-foot elevations changes and camping in sub-freezing temperatures each day. Our first night was spent up along the ridge in the "Bowl," but our other three nights were spent in Pine Springs.
Pine Springs checked off most of our requirements for an awesome campsite: cheap (only $8/night for a tent site), close to the highlights (the classic Guadalupe Peak trail leaves from the parking lot) and scenic, spacious sites (check, check). Amenities were the basic flush toilets and picnic tables, but for the cost, that was more than understandable.
There is a lot the Guadalupe Mountains offers, including the hikes we mentioned: The Bowl loop, Guadalupe Peak (highest point in Texas!), McKittrick Canyon hiking, and some of the greatest sunsets of our entire trip.
You can read much more about our four days in the park on our blog: Switchback Kids (Guadalupe Mountains)
Nestled at the bottom of the beautiful Guadalupe mountain this campground is family friendly and totally Texas !!
Decent level sites for the tents off one loop with the RV off to another loop (i like that you're not surrounded by an RV when in your tent). The tent sites are much nicer than the parking lot for the RVs. Sites are decently spaced out with your normal table and fire ring, you then also have nice clean restrooms and potable water. You're right up against the Guadalupe Mountains which are a wonderful sight.
Right up against the Guadalupe Mountains! They have water, real bathrooms, and a decent amount of shade…a great combination in Texas. Sites are great, you park and then walk 5 to a few hundred feet to your very private, semi-shady site. Short walk to the visitor center and some hikes (from easy to extreme) start here. No reservations but not super busy, at least not in May. Good wildlife too!
Pine Springs campground is a place full of awe and wonder. Hiking through this vast mountainous region makes you wonder how long it took for these mountains to form and become such an amazing land of beauty and unanswered questions. As such a nice place, I would recommend it, although it is not in a forest setting as is much of the Appalachian Mtns.
This site is really popular among local sin the area. Make reservations online so you are guaranteed a spot. Do not come here during the summer. I made the mistake and the temperature was in the high 90s. It felt like you were becoming human jerky. The site was only 8 dollars and it was really clean. There are a lot of photographers out here hoping to make a time lapse of the stars. They have warm showers but need to remodel the buildings because it is kind of old. The sight is quite secluded and you have privacy from other campers. At night the stars light up and it is so beautiful. In the morning I recommend waking up really early for the sunrise and to summit Guadalupe Peak. The trek is very difficult but is absolutely worth it. The trek is quite dangerous and has a few unstable places. This campsite was worth it and am looking to coming again

Last week we talked about Setting The Stage and unveiled one way to do that before your sales meeting. Here are more ways you can set the stage.
2. Set The Stage Visually. Before your clients arrive, sit where they sit. See what they see. Is there something in their line of view that might be unappealing to them. Maybe you have an exit sign right above your head if they are facing you, sending your client subliminal messages to leave. Maybe there's a gross piece of food on the floor in the corner at the Starbucks. Maybe it's a trash can overflowing in your office. Whatever it is, eliminate distractions, both audible and visual.
- Set The Stage For Yourself. Mentally clear your mind of everything going on, all the outside distractions, everything is going to happen that's going on your life. Whether it's a fight with the wife or whether it's kids soccer practice next day or you got a big deadline for meeting, whatever it might be, you set aside those distractions and focus solely on your clients in front of you. How can you serve them?
Setting the stage is not just physically but also mentally. You must always be in a "Sum Tertius" mindset. Sum Tertius is Latin and it stands for "I am third". If you always put your client's needs ahead of your own you'll win way more often than not.

Manual therapy is a hands on approach to help release tight muscles, restricted joints, and scar tissue in order to regain full range of motion, reduce pain, and improve overall mobility and function.
Types of manual therapy include:
Deep frictions: pressure applied perpendicular to the tissue fibers to bring circulation, reduce pain, and help connective tissue realign for injured tendons, ligaments, and muscle.
Joint Manipulation/Mobilization: Joint manipulations are rapid movements at a joint's end range to help quickly release restricted areas and restore movement. Joint mobilizations are graded gliding of a restricted joint to help it ease into its full range of movement. Both techniques help reduce pain and bring circulation to the restricted area while restoring movement.
Soft tissue release/massage: kneading, and applying pressure through tight muscles and trigger points or fascia in order to help tissue to soften and relax.
Scar mobilization: scar tissue can reduce your mobility, especially if the skin has adhered to the connective tissue below it there will be restrictions and possibly pain from superficial nerves in the area. Progressive pressure applied to the area in various directions can help improve movement, similar to techniques used in Soft Tissue Release as described above.

While most teams were finally putting on their shells for the first time Wednesday afternoon, Central Coosa was in a much different boat.
Due to lack of numbers throughout the course of the summer, the Cougars felt it was best to push back their first official practice until school began. That meant players would already be on campus and be more likely to be available for practice.
Even still, Coosa was missing several players and working with extremely low numbers but at least it got on the gridiron and got to work.
"It's just a repeat of last year for us," Cougar coach Brett Thomas said. "That's the biggest thing is breaking that cycle of the kids thinking, 'It's the summertime so I don't have to try to make it to conditioning or summer workouts.'"
But Thomas did have a faithful bunch out during the summertime and 12 Cougars showed up Wednesday for the first official day. Those guys who had been working out during the summer definitely stood out. Ryan Payne and Donta Daniel, who will start at quarterback and tailback respectively, and Levi Crause, who will anchor both the offensive and defensive lines, were clear leaders on the field.
"We've also had Cole Scott and Paul Robinson who have been out here," Thomas said. "(Robinson) is a senior but he's been doing great. He's been here the whole summer and dedicated. For the kids that are here, we're always optimistic and I'm really optimistic overall."
Thomas thinks the biggest improvements Cougar fans will see is on the line. Crause moved to center on the offensive line and Dawson Duncan will take up a guard spot.
But the main focus Wednesday was really conditioning and running through the basics of the offense and defense. The hardest part about being so far behind the eight ball is making sure Thomas' Cougars are ready to go when they host Winterboro in a Thursday night game in just two weeks.
"I think that was one of the main things that hurt us last year and will hurt us this year also," Thomas said. "They're just not in football condition. Most other teams have been working over the summer and they'll be in football shape."
Another huge disadvantage the Cougars will struggle with is sheer knowledge. With so low numbers, a coach can only do but so much in terms of teaching plays and formations. Wednesday, Thomas broke the guys up into skill players and linemen. The offense was set up with trashcans to go over their plays.
"The good thing about (Wednesday) is the core of the team is here," Thomas said. "We have both quarterbacks, the center, the guards, the wingbacks and my fullback so the core is here. We can still do what we need to do on offense and get the basics of the offense down. This just sounds horrible but we're going to go over the base of the defense for the first time two weeks before the first game. This is just the first time we've had enough players to even set up a defense."
But in order to combat being behind, Thomas is going to try to simplify things as much as possible and during the short two weeks of the preseason, the focus will be on repetition.
"What we'll do is we're going to focus on the basic offensive plays and the basic defensive set and keep it simple," Thomas said. "Last year, if something didn't work, we tried something else to combat the lack of blocking. This time we're just going to stay with the same thing the whole year so hopefully by the end of the year with repetition they'll get better."
