Interview with Bobby Seale at a rally for Huey P. Newton
KPIX Eyewitness news report from February 26th, 1968 featuring an interview with Bobby Seale and Black Panther Party lawyer Charles Garry, who discuss Huey P. Newton's mounting bail fees and the charges recently brought against Bobby Seale. Garry says, "I believe that this is an effort on the part of the police department in Oakland and Berkeley working conjunctively to prevent and poison the atmosphere for Huey's defense." Also features footage of a rally for Huey P. Newton where Bobby Seale says, "...we're talking about self-defense against the pigs shooting us, but what about self-defense against them railroading us in jail and breaking in our homes...?" Seale continues to say that this will require new tactics and "aggressive political consequences." The clip concludes with a speech given by Stokley Carmichael in which he says, "One loses a bit of manhood with every stale compromise to the authority of any power in which one does not believe. No slave should die a natural death." See also KPIX 34753 and 34748. Note that some audio distortion is present. Remastered, edited and catalogued for the web by Shira Peltzman.

Writing Workshop
Come to class prepared to discuss:
If your opinion fits on a bumper sticker, leave it there.
A three-page essay that chooses one or the other side of a long-standing division (such as abortion, gay marriage, or the drinking age) is not going to change anyone's mind.
Of much more value is an unpredictable essay:
- What is your topic for Essay 3?
- Can you make your point without relying on outside statistics?
I don't mean to ban all outside references, but I will ask you to approve them with me beforehand, since "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."
- What is the counter-argument?
(Most people in the world are not evil; they think of themselves as good, rational people, who have weighed all the evidence and come up with the best answer. If their answer makes your skin crawl, or makes you want to scream, it's worth exploring. Seek out and ask a real, live human being who disagrees with you, listen to what they say, and fairly record what they think the issues are. You can still follow up with your own opinion, but it will be an informed opinion.)
- Are there any attacks in your essay?
- Unanswered questions ("What do they think they are doing?" "Do they really think that this will work?" "I don't understand why anyone would think that way.")
Question like this are great at riling up people who already agree with you, but in an academic setting, admitting that you are uninformed about your topic ("I don't understand why...") is not a persuasive approach.)
- Biased language ("When wrinkled old hypocrites band together to crush the innocent pleasures of fun-loving youths..." "If irresponsible hooligans who think of nothing but today's illicit pleasure continue to disrespect the values that made America great...")
Your task in this assignment is not to "win" the argument by making your opponent look evil or ignorant. Rather, your goal is to demonstrate that you can see multiple sides of a complex issue, including the best arguments in favor of a position you reject, and the weaknesses of the position you favor, while still taking a clear stand on that issue.
If your opinion fits on a bumper sticker, leave it there.
A three-page essay that chooses one or the other side of a long-standing division (such as abortion, gay marriage, or the drinking age) is not going to change anyone's mind.
Of much more value is an unpredictable essay:
My gay friend convinced me to be pro-life, because he pointed out that if scientists can isolate a genetic connection to homosexuality, couples who don't want a gay child may decide to abort a gay fetus. Initially I thought he was overreacting, but he said...or
I'm an animal lover who is also an animal eater. My friend Sally is a strict vegan, who says I'm a hypocrite because of X and Y, but I respond to X by saying A and B, and I respond to Y by saying C and D.(The examples I've provided are a little stiff in terms of phrasing, but my point at this stage is to emphasize the kinds of ideas that make good papers.)
Rhetorical Triangle
Logos = Rational Appeal (the actual idea you are communicating)
Pathos = Emotional Appeal (gives your message force)
Ethos = Ethical Appeal (establishes you as a trustworthy, informed, well-intentioned writer)
- specific cases / anecdotes
- analogies ("Telling a devout Muslim woman to take off her headscarf is like telling a Southern Baptist woman to parade around in nothing but a thong.")
- facts and statistics
Pathos = Emotional Appeal (gives your message force)
higher emotions: love, justice, empathy, responsibility (demonstrate how your argument arises from these noble feelings)
lower emotions: anger, greed, fear, revenge (avoid these in your argument; if you can show your opponent's argument is driven by these emotions, you can make your argument more convincing)
Ethos = Ethical Appeal (establishes you as a trustworthy, informed, well-intentioned writer)
- fairness to all sides (including the "con" side)
- credibility (speaking from personal experience)
- reliable sources (you have heard from specific people with direct experience; you're not relying on what "some people say")
- you respect the opinions of others (you emphasize a solution, rather than complaining about the way things are; you take the high ground, and don't seem threatened by admitting when other people have a good point)

After years of seeing tuition go up and classes get cut, many CSU students are about to receive refunds made possible by Prop 30. The initiative raised state taxes to fund public education.
At Sacramento State, the initiative will affect all 27,000 students.
"In a way, yes, because every student is gaining the benefit of the reduced tuition fee," said Gina Curry, Director of the university's Student Financial Services Center.
Prop 30 is retroactive to the fall semester. Many students will receive refunds for a portion of their fall tuition. Full-time undergrads will get $249. The 30 percent of students who pay their own tuition will receive a check or direct deposit.
"And so we expect that we'll be able to process those refunds out to the students who are eligible the last week before we head out for our winter recess," explained Curry.
70 percent of Sac State students receive financial aid. In those cases, the programs that paid the tuition are entitled to the refund, or a portion of it.
Under Prop 30, California's sales tax rate went from 7.25 percent to 7.5 percent.

Hi everybody,
I have porous structure attached please find the pics of the geometry.
I want to perform water laminar and turbulent flow through the pore with different inlet velocity and additionally want to calculate the pressure drop and fouling resistance.
Does somebody guide me how can I start and which things shall I keep in mind? As I watched videos on YouTube, in which guy created work plane and then extrude the geometry. I tried the same way on my geometry. Unfortunately that way I am not succeeding. There is not that much vidoes are available in view of CFD.
Does somebody guide me any idea or hint how I can proceed.
Thank you in advance from sparing time and considerations.
Kind Regards
Please visit my blog, there you will find a post with a video of FEMAP/TMG FLOW of a CATALYTIC CONVERTER with POROUS media:
Best regards,
Thank you sir,

Looking for an English speaking job (Frankfurt)
Hello all,
Can anyone recommend any English speaking companies/institutions in Mainz, Wiesbaden or Frankfurt which may have jobs available to non-German speakers? English is my only language at the moment as I've recently arrived in Mainz but I have started learning German.
My recent work experience is in academic (mainly medical) research centre management and project management and I've worked at Imperial College London and the London School of Economics. I've covered high level administrative tasks such as HR, finance, staff management, report writing, grant writing, marketing, data management, website development, writing for academic websites and organising events such as conferences, workshops and meetings.
I can pretty much cover any low/high level administrative role or project management role in any type of company- I'm looking for something different and for a challenge! I'm living in Mainz and free to start immediately.
Any advice or if you could tell me of any jobs available would be greatly appreciated

OPEC to Decide on Oil Output
That decision upended the oil the market and has seen prices slump by more than 40 per cent to levels last seen in the aftermath of the financial crisis. But Moscow repeated this week it saw no chance of joint action, and Iran and Iraq on Friday also showed no willingness to curb supply. This would add to the global glut as the world is now already consuming up to 2 million bpd less than it is producing.

Scotland's favourite ski resort opens with exciting new upgrades and family friendly offeringsNatural Retreats CairnGorm Mountain is now open for the winter season! The resort team looks forward to welcoming snowsports enthusiasts and showcasing CairnGorm Mountain's exciting new upgrades.
Natural Retreats Cairngorm Mountain has gone to every effort to ensure the best possible experience for everyone this season.
In addition to launching its own in-house 'Snow School' making it easier than ever to book lessons, visitors can expect many further improvements, including: new fencing to catch more snow, a new beginner's ski-tow, mechanical reliability improvements to many of the existing ski-tows, new ski hire stock, mini-me Burton Riglet snowboards that even under-fives can learn on, a new comfortable kids area near the Base Station where families can meet their ski instructors and return to throughout the day should tired little legs need a rest, and a new 'grab-and-go' Storehouse Express for speedy snacks on the slopes.
Famed for its beauty and skiing heritage, CairnGorm Mountain is the UK's most popular snowsports destination and has been attracting skiers for over 50 years. It has 30km of ski runs, 11 lifts, a fully maintained freestyle park and its new on-site Snow School caters for everyone, from beginners to experts.
The snowsports season typically runs from December until April, depending on the weather. Visitors don't need to have their own ski or snowboard equipment either, everything can be hired on the mountain – including outer clothing. The only items that cannot be hired are hats – but these are available to purchase in the shops on the mountain.
Natural Retreats CairnGorm Mountain is an affordable and easily accessible option for those looking to make their skiing budgets go further and for families looking to introduce children to skiing without the hefty Alpine price tag.
Located in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, it is approximately two-and-a-half hours by car from Glasgow and Edinburgh and one hour from Inverness. The Caledonian sleeper's overnight services make it ideal for a snowy minibreak from London: hop on the train at Euston on Friday evening after work, enjoy two full days skiing on the Mountain and then head back on Sunday night, arriving rosy-cheeked, refreshed and ready to take on the working week on Monday morning.
A wide variety of accommodation is available to book in the local area, from luxury hotels and self-catering houses to campsites and hostels.
Winter season passes cost £435 for adults and £96 for 6-16 year olds.
Snow sports passes are available from £35 per day for adults, or £21 for juniors.
One day of lessons at the Snow School, including ski pass and ski hire, costs £99 for adults, £75 for children and seniors and £57 for under 5's.
Burton Riglet snowboard lessons are available for under 5's for £35 per hour.

Angels Signed Some Reliever While The Big Free Agents Leak Away
The Angels gave former Toronto reliever Scott Downs a three year/$15M deal over the weekend. Yesterday, apparently, the big free-agent signing of the offseason seems to have been the Phillies' shocking re-signing of Cliff Lee only a year after they traded him, for five years and $135M. While I'm not a big fan of signing free agents just because they're there (and especially not of giving long-term deals to aging pitchers), the Lee signing is a bit more of the sort of thing the local press has been complaining about all offseason. Lost amidst the hubbub: the Phils won't have Jayson Werth returning, and actually signed lefty retread Dennys Reyes to a one-year deal. The Phils could fall apart in a hurry, and one free agency signing won't change that.
Labels: angels, hot stove, phillies, transactions
There is that. But will they hit? I don't think it will be a replay of the 2003 Dodgers, but it could start to look close if they get a couple injuries.
with that rotation they won't need to hit much. but their line-up still matches up some most of the NL line-ups. i'd love to be a Philly fan right now compared to what we're having to deal with here in LA

How you present yourself is how people have an impression of you. If you don't have an appealing personality, people might walk to you but would mind talking to you.
Talking about time and patience, how many of us have the patience to go on the third or fourth page of Google or the time to sit on net for long hours searching for relevant sites?
Technology has brought people together as well as has linked businesses with the people. Business nowadays does not need to have a physical presence, but essentially needs a virtual presence.
With everything available within reach, the world is shrinking day by day. Everything people need to know is available in seconds. Smartphones have made people smarter.

mOcean Helps Usher In "The Simpsons" On FXX
Last Updated: September 3, 2014 6:56 pm GMT
(Los Angeles, California--September 3, 2014) Entertainment creative agency mOcean recently contributed to the launch campaign for the arrival of "The Simpsons" on FXX, which kicked off on August 21st with a 12-day marathon of the show's complete 25-year catalogue. mOcean was integral to the post process, editorial and finishing of the epically funny "Kitchen Sink" spot announcing FXX's acquisition of syndication rights for the animated series. In addition, mOcean worked along with the FXX team to conceive and produce broadcast and online promos for the massive campaign.
mOcean's other side-splitting creative includes choral homages to Danny Elfman's iconic main title theme; and viral mash-ups featuring Homer and Ned Flanders immersed in Simpsons-inspired memes.
To view, please visit:
Kitchen Sink:
"This was by far the biggest, most exciting project with the FX family yet," says mOcean SVP Creative Director Greg Harrison, who has worked extensively with FX Networks, including the creation of branding spots for the launch of FXX, as well as on-air promotions for a number of their original shows. "The inherent challenge was doing justice to one of the funniest, most beloved TV franchises in history, not to mention the legacy of its creators Matt Groening and James L. Brooks."
Echoing the spirit of
The Simpsons
was just one part of the marketing equation. The big-picture strategy was to filter the show through the FXX brand, which mOcean had previously contributed to with the
"It's Like"
network launch campaign.
"FXX has its own comedic sensibility, and once we gained traction making that tonal connection with the show, our strategy became intuitive," Harrison explains. "The choir spots are a great example of this. Inflecting the network brand of humor into the classic Simpsons intro, we could simultaneously honor the show."
Comedic timing was crucial to the choir spots,
which mOcean refined every step of the way, from concepting and scripting to music direction and editorial. FX's internal graphics team produced the final animations.
Two more promos were derived from viral treatments that mOcean conceived during the pitch process. The concepts were so well-received that FXX commissioned them for broadcast. mOcean licensed YouTube's most popular "fail" videos for one of the promos, replacing each crashing head with Homer's animated head screeching "D'Oh!" at the moment of impact; and, similarly,
(set to the Toontastic techno track,
"Diddley Dee"
) is a montage of ridiculous YouTube dancers, whose heads are replaced with none other than Ned Flanders. mOcean handled writing, editorial, art direction, music supervision, sound design and animation for both spots.
"The viral spots are a natural extension of FXX's user-generated brand aesthetic merged with the sensibilities of
The Simpsons
," concludes Harrison. "Tons of credit has to go to both the FX and FXX teams for what we brought to this campaign. As always, they were incredible collaborators. Their cinematic, passionate approach to marketing is what empowers us to do our best work with them."

Re: the scaling had issues
Mark Suszko
Among the Simpsons die-hards, there was quite a stink made about how the 3:4 ratio early seasons were scaled and cropped to 16:9 because the re-framing in their opinion "spoiled" a number of visual gags and cut out parts of funny background action in the originals.
You can't please everyone.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident
December 08, 2016
I am/was a resident of this facility
The Nurses, Nurse Aides, and the Therapy team are all very friendly, compassionate, and helpful. They are always there to help in any way that they can be of assistance. They all truly want you to get better than ever. I have been to other homes before, and this has been far and away the best place. I got a feeling of being in a hotel. It was glamourous, and had a luxury feel to it. The food is tasty there as well. Well done Brighton!

I am/was a resident of this facility
Therapy evaluates each resident upon addmision, and then works with them according to what their limits are. I have built up an incredible amount of strength from the wonderful therapy department. The nursing care that is provided is excellent. They distribute medicine, meals (which tastes great), and snacks etc. They are always there to help with anything that comes their way. I recommend this facility to anyone that needs some care.
October 31, 2016
I am/was a resident of this facility
The Physical Therapy really cares about each and every resident that they treat. They really want you to do well and get better. The staff that I worked with was Stephanie, Kelly, and Matt. They were fantastic. The overall care there was amazaing.
October 27, 2016
I am/was a resident of this facility
My mom has spent some time in a few different nursing homes over the years. Visiting her over the years, I got to see how everything was run, and how everything gets taken care of in a nursing facility. Based off of what I had seen, it would be a waste of time to even compare those places to Brighton Rehab and Wellness. The care that I have recieved at Brighton Rehab and Wellness has always been there when you need it, the nurses are great there, and everything about my stay has been excellent. I live about 30 minutes away from Brighton Rehab and Wellness, and I can even see a different nursing home from inside my house. I have absolutely no regrets that I chose Brighton Rehab and Wellness for my care.
October 20, 2016
I am/was a resident of this facility
The care at Brighton Rehab and Wellness Center has been excellent every where I turn. The Nurses, Nurse Aides, and Therapy have all been wonderful. The food is good there. With all of the renovations that they have done there, the grounds are looking spectacular. There is a beautiful fountain and a very pretty backdrop of all the colorful trees right outside my window. The exuberant therapy staff does a wonderful job in the brand new gym.
October 10, 2016
I am/was a resident of this facility
When I am feeling weak and not able to complete some tasks on my own, the nursing staff has always been there to help me with things as simple as opening up my milk for me. The care I have recieved here is top notch. The therapy department is exceptional as well. Their gorgeous brand new gym is equiped with brand new state of the art equipment enabling the therapy department to work with each and every resident to get the quality care they deserve.
October 06, 2016
I am/was a resident of this facility
The care given to me here has been very kind and proffesional. The staff is very attentative to detail, making sure each and every resident is getting the proper care to make them comfortable and safe.

The care is great the staff are amazing and they have a concierge named Steve who will help you with anything you need during your stay
September 15, 2016
I am/was a resident of this facility
I can not say enough about the individual care that I have recieved at Brighton Rehab and Wellness. From the Nurses, to the Nurse Aides, to the Physical Therapists, my treatment was spot on. With the type of injury that I had, affecting my spinal cord and my legs, just geting out of bed was my main goal. Now that I have had the oppurtunity to recover at Brighton Rehab and Wellness, I can now boast that I am capable of walking on a treadmill for FOUR MILES straight, a mere two months after my surgery. I honestly do not know where I would be without Brighton Rehab and Wellness.
September 06, 2016
I am/was a resident of this facility
Following my surgery to free my spine of three vertebrae which had been crushing it for the past ten months, I had to find a facility which provided nursing care as well as rehab care in the Brighton Township area. Choosing Brighton Rehab and Wellness turned out to be a true blessing. The attention to detail that was given by not only the nursing staff, but also the therpy staff was personal, and caring. I would like to express my appreciation especially to Aimee and Christin, two therapists, who took personal interest in acheiving my goals of standing and walking. I will personally recomend this facility to others needing care.

I am a friend or relative of a resident
My mother is in Friendship Ridge. They seem to have caring and very attentive staff. When she moves, the buzzer goes off. If she gets off of the pad, the buzzer goes off. They're supposed to come see if she fell out of bed, and they respond very quickly to alarms. The building is being renovated, and the floor was very nice. She says the food is good. They have ice cream socials, daily crafts, and movie nights.
March 08, 2016
I am a friend or relative of a resident
Dad was at Friendship Ridge for rehab, and the care he received was OK. I felt they should have made him stay longer at the rehab because we brought him back to the emergency room two days after he was sent home. I wish there had been more therapy involved. The food was good. The building was new, so it was very clean and well maintained. The rooms were pretty nice.
June 15, 2015
I am a friend or relative of resident
I remember my Mom taking us to visit my grandmother here. She seemed so happy, and now that I'm older I visit without my mother there and my grandmother is still there and happy to be. The clientelle there always greets me with a smile and recognize me enough to know exactly who I'm there to see. I do miss going to my grandparents' house for holidays, but everytime I walk into Friendship Ridge it's like coming home for the holidays.
March 07, 2015
I am a friend or relative of a resident
My mom was in Friendship Ridge. It was nice, but it was old-looking. It needed updating. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The food was just adequate, and I did not care for it. My mom was in a shared room with 3 other people. It was too small for four beds, and there was no room for visitors. I asked for her to get a private room, but they did not give her that because they knew she was dying with stage 4 cancer. I would recommend this facility to others. The staff was very nice.
February 21, 2015
I am a friend or relative of resident
My mother was a resident of this nightmare for only a few months. Since i lived in a different state and i worked i would fly in every weekend. The staff knew my routine. The room was so hot and the whole floor did smell like urine. There were 4 to a room. My mother was afraid. Then i decided to make a surprise visit during the middle of tbe week. When i arrived in the afternoon my mother wasn't dressed and her diaper w a s soaked. Fortunately i took her out the next weekend and moved her with me. I am so glad i did. The time we spent together before she passed away is priceless to me. I would have never forgiven myself if she had died at this facility. To all of you that read this, please visit your loved ones often and at different times. My mother cared for me growing up. So i did the same for her in the end.
August 19, 2014
I am a friend or relative of resident
A relative was a resident at Friendship Ridge and recently transferred to another facility. During the months after the change of ownership, during my visits, I heard caregivers in the elevator, hallways, and even when attending to my relative complaining. When packing her things on moving day, I found some of her clothing thrown on the floor in her locker with dust balls over them. As far as cleanliness in the room, there was a layer of dust at least 1/2" thick on the furniture/shelf next to her bed and on the shelves to the TV stand. I just wish I had transferred her sooner.
August 13, 2012
I am a friend or relative of a resident
My Father has been in this home for a long while now. The nurses and Drs are very good with my Dad and take very good care of him.(I couldn't even take care of him and he is my Dad) .He has 8 children living all over the USA, they never get mad when any of us call to check the status of Dad,(Some in Colorado, Florida, other side of PA, Ohio, & Maine). He likes the food and also some of the nurses REAL WELL!!!I I thank Frienship Ridge for everthing they do for my family
March 15, 2012
I visited this facility
I had the opportunity to visit Friendship Ridge on many occaisions over the past twenty years. The facility has changed its once hospital feel and environment that it used to have. It has evolved over the years to look and feel more like a "residence" for their community, with updated decor throughout. The facility is a large skilled nursing facility which proivides excellent care for the residents. Each nursing unit is fully staffed and they are more than willing to assist the residents on their floor with the best possible care, even if it is only to keep someone company with friendly conversion and hold a hand. Friendship Ridge is committed to the care of their residents and updated the facility to include several amnenities such as an onsite beauty salon, snack bar and gift shop and even several activity rooms. Residents are able to attend church services, play games, make crafts, visit the library or even enjoy the outdoor courtyards. Many residents can enjoy visits with family members outside at the pavillion. Friendship Ridge also has a special unit dedicated to those residents in need of extra care due to dementia. I have always had a positive experience when visiting Friendship Ridge and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a skilled nursing facility in the area.
March 06, 2009
My loved one stayed here
There were four people to a room and one central bathroom. My gram hated it it. When we would visit her the hallway always wreaked of urine. The one nurse on her floor spoke poor broken English and I caould not understand her let alone my gram. Most of the aides were wonderful and most of the nurses were nice. I could never get passed the odor.

This was a good easy dish. I love the fact that it combines some nice vegetables. I found this at Whole Food Website. This one is Gluten free if you use GF noodles. They used macaroni--I prefer ziti.
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Preheat oven to 350°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until just al dente, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain well and transfer to a large, heatproof bowl. Gently stir in tomatoes, corn, pumpkin, 1 cup cheese, parsley, nutmeg and 1 teaspoon salt. Scoop it all into a (9x13-inch) baking dish (oiled first, if you like) and scatter remaining 1 cup cheese over the top. Bake until hot throughout and cheese is melted on top, about 40 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

How Do You Implement the Process?
You implement the process by improving what you already have, one practice at a time, in an evolutionary way. You take what you need and what you think your organization can adopt, without taking any severe risks. You deal out the cards to the project team, giving them the information that they need to focus upon. Cards contain the essential information, with added project-specific instructions that the project manager can add. In the past, processes have almost entirely focused on the authors' needs. EssUP prioritizes the developers' perspective. Its techniques are used to develop, teach, apply, and use the process to make it lightweight and agile.
Final Words
The Essential Unified Process:
- Concentrates on the essentials applicable to all your projects.
- Enables you to build on the skills that you already possess.
- Provides guidance on implementing a consistent approach.
- Focuses on enhancing the skills of the people involved in development.
- Adds just enough process to address your project risks.
Our goal with the EssUP is a long-term vision: To move from a "process" era when everyone is forced to think about process to an "invisible process" era when we don't talk specifically about process, but assume it as a given.

). Matthew and I talked about image styles that we are fond of, what
kinds of activities we are drawn to, and about our respective
heritages, among many other things. Matthew has some Polish, some
English, some French and a dash of Indian in me. I have Scottish
heritage as well as a bit of English and Irish. One thing led to
another, and somehow we decided on a Canadian Voyageur theme. In our
scenario, the Voyageur is delivering the Scottish wife of the Hudson's Bay
Co. fur trading post chief "factor" after her voyage from Scotland via
Montreal. The styles are somewhat influenced by old folk art and
We went to Thunderthighs (an amazing costume house nearby, which is housed
in the old Dunlop Rubber Co. stable and carriage shop) and had a blast
trying on all kinds of appropriate (and sometimes
inappropriate) garb. We had Sandra Yang
) ,Matthew's favorite hair and make-up person help me out. Matthew
brought in his canoe and paddles, and wore the old britches and shirt.
His wifemSylvia's deerskin boots were on the floor beside him for
reference to shoot. I brought my dog,Olive and a shawl from Scotland that
I am wearing.
We would love it if you came down and voted for us! For those who can't
attend, we'll post the results when they are in.

"We go deep on concepts but we also emphasize immediate application to your business requirements. That's the only way to keep up the momentum and keep it focused on meaningful capabilities," said MTG's President Ron Moore.
(PRWEB) February 27, 2013
Marketing Technologies Group has released their Spring/Summer schedule of Oracle Essbase training classes including classes from Oracle University's standard Oracle Essbase curriculum and MTG's advanced and specialized Oracle Essbase classes. The standard Oracle University classes are delivered at MTG's Oracle Authorized Training Center (OATC) in New York City's financial district. MTG's advanced and specialized classes are delivered at MTG's training center and online. Classes can also be customized and delivered at customers' sites.
The curriculum is centered on Oracle University's Oracle Essbase Bootcamp which is widely recognized as the gold standard for Essbase developers and administrators. MTG adds material and specialized presentations to the Bootcamp such as MTG's Visual Approach to Calculations and Demystifying Sparse and Dense. Based on student's needs they also provide exposure to the next level of topics such as automation and security.
MTG also offers specialized classes on advanced topics and practical application topics such as Essbase Optimization and Forecasting and Driver Based Budgeting. MTG's curriculum can also be delivered in customized classes at the customer's site and focused on the customer's own Essbase databases.
MTG's prototyping workshop approach stresses a good understanding of theory, architecture and concepts simultaneously with practical application to students' real-world business requirements. Students are encouraged to bring their requirements and issues to class where they can apply their new skills immediately to material familiar to them. That boosts retention and the ability to apply the new material "beyond the book". This helps to avoid the tendency to start forgetting new material as soon as you leave class. In addition students can get real world work done and potentially demonstrate immediate return on training investment.
"We want to be sure your training investment translates into new capabilities that apply to your real world business requirements," said MTG's President Ron Moore. "We go deep on concepts but we also emphasize immediate application to your business requirements. That's the only way to keep up the momentum and keep it focused on meaningful capabilities."
MTG adds value by offering online follow-up Q&A sessions so students can ask questions after working with the software for a while. MTG's free Essbase technical webinar series including upcoming webinars and MTG's library of over 40 recorded webinars is available at https://mtg.webex.com.
MTG has been delivering Oracle Essbase training since 1995 and is one of the longest standing Essbase focused training organizations in the world. All instructors are field consultants with real world hands-on experience. MTG has received more than a dozen Oracle University Quality Awards.

Ever since we dreamt up our cult ModelCo. Turbo Lashwand Eyelash Curler over 15 years ago, we've been thinking in pink. As former model agents, we had an intuitive knack at anticipating what women (really) wanted in their makeup bags and bathroom cabinets. And so, with the goal of believable, achievable beauty, we launched our first-to-market heated eyelash curler in 2002, followed by our innovative world-first Tan Airbrush in A Can which created an entire new global beauty category and forever changed the way women self-tanned. ModelCo quickly grew into a complete collection of clever, quick-fix, beauty products to help us all look effortlessly amazing and ready for everything.
Soon enough, we became widely known and loved for our novel prep products, on-trend colour cosmetics, simple-but-smart, natural skin care, and award-winning self-tanning solutions. We're proud to have featured in the most influential magazines, websites, beauty blogs and influencer hauls, and celebrities quite like us too. And thanks to the support of some friends in high places – from models and beauty editors to our original retailers like Colette in Paris and New York's Henri Bendel – we've managed to paint much of the globe pink.
Fifteen years later, we (still) dream big but talk truths. We are beauty futurists and remain dedicated to our search for the next big breakthrough and sharing it with our customers around the world. We're proud to have created over 250 products, including our innovative Lip Lights, featuring LED lights that automatically activate when opened, as well as a handy inbuilt mirror, the ultimate beauty product for a smart modern woman. Plus we test them all in Australia on models, not animals, which has earnt us cruelty-free kudos and a big tick from PETA.
We are social creatures at heart and love to collaborate on special projects with like-minded people. We're known for creating exclusive, limited-edition collections with our fashion friends and model mates (oh hi Elle Macpherson, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Hailey Baldwin). And we can't wait to introduce you to our next ah-mazing ModelCo partnership launching in 2018.
Watch our space!
ModelCo is proudly cruelty-free and a PETA certified cosmetics company.
What this means, is that ModelCo do not test on animals at any point of a products creation. From supplier, producer, manufacturer or independent party all the way through to the shelves and into consumer's hands, there are no furry friends involved.

We already cited this link today: Naomi Klein: Building a Real Left
I didn't feel like turning on my audio to listen to the tape so I am not sure what she is saying. I will get around to it soon.
Naomi Klein preaching a new left. Tut tut. Why not just send a check to the Tea Partiers.
I actually agree, at the blurb level, especially this week, a bad week indeed, in which I realized (two years late, or minus one year early since I suspected the worst in 2007) that Obama has been triangulated by the likes of Rahm Immanuel, and is not really a president at all, but a sort of Clinton parody being operated behind the scenes by forces that elude me.
Obama is being asphyxiated by Axelrod, Immanuel, Geithner and Summers, a sad almost frightening svengali spectacle for a figure once hoped to be an FDR moment in action. One such svengali is too many, but four!!
Whatever happened to Obama?? I missed something here, and what of Krugman, Kuttner, Warren, and Reich????
I obviously don't get it, and haven't a clue as to what lies behind Obama's seductive rhetoric. I am a simple sort, and watch PBS, and when I read that Rahm Immanuel, as Obama's chief of staff, thinks liberals retards and counts on their votes as suckers, I am genuinely shocked, and not a little puzzled. That is something new, not present in the politics of liberalism, and it is tantamount to taking away someone's vote. It is possible to fudge a bit on the complex of views, inevitable, but to openly mock and trash the loyalty of lifelong liberals behind the sweet talk of Obama crosses the line, and is unforgivable. This Rahm gangster will end up making voting at all dishonorable.
So I am glad to hear from Klein's timely call. She is right, we are losing the electoral option, something I find incredible.
Why won't Obama just throw the bums out and do it right?
It is also thus vital for the (Jewish) left to try and clear its good name with something intelligent as here. As Jewish culture accelerates into a right wing decline, the whispers from the old Jewish left are important, but probably irrelevant.
But that is a resource that is played out at this point. Too many dead beat intellectuals stuck forever in the Marxism cult are in the way of a new left. I think that Marxism is paradoxical. It is one of the few resources that we have but it is so flawed it is counterproductive, and in any case noone can seem to extricate themselves from Leninism/Stalinism.
It is thus not surprising a gesture of revolt arises on the right in a form so brain dead as to be grotesquely comical, the Tea Party movement. The left fails to see how its inability to critique itself has fed the right.
But the point is significant: we need a truly new left. Where will that come from?
We certainly need a new left, but that's unlikely in this generation. I have explained why a dozen times here, and given a lot of suggestions.
Since we have raised the tasteless question of Jewish culture, consider the important point that Marx was NOT Jewish. He was an assimilated ex-christian, a crucial distinction.
Why not ask Jewish leftists to assimilate, super assimilate, and leave Jewish culture behind. The same demand goes without saying for Christians and Moslems. We could create a whole new culture of left familes with assimilated Jews/Xtians/Moslems/everyone else welcome. The leftovers of Axial Age Judaism are still alive on the Jewish left, and confusing its cultic devotees, who are confused by their position. It is stinking shit at this point, and, as Marx well understood, you have to decamp and not look back.
Please recall, as noted, that Marx understood this problem perfectly, and that he was not Jewish, but an ex-Christian. Jewish leftists unaware of their position are simply feeding the right. He is charged with being a self-hating Jew. Who wouldn't be self-hating after a lifetime of Ayn Rand and Alan Greenspan. The more self-hating the better, as Marx sensed.
We need a whole new population of leftists, like the Rajneeshees who gave up their old identities, and changed their names.
Ditto here, for Christians, and Moslems.
In general a new left must be really new, and analyze the faults of the Bolshevik fiasco. But twenty years have passed since the fall of Communism, and that hasn't happened.
The left needs a complete makeover, on theory, philosophy, and religion.
The left needs to get some religion even as it needs to put some teeth into its critique of religion. Feuerback on Hegel wasn't enough. The problem with leftist atheism as a substitute for religion is that leftists end up sitting ducks confronted with all the dark forces of religion, unaware in principle of what is going on. The realm of the occult is very real, part of the human legacy, and will eat the left alive if they persist in stupidity of the Feuerback game.
That was a disaster. So the left needs to religion to get past religion.
This problem was solved ten times over in India, where atheist 'materialist' religion has a strong history, and a no-nonsense attitude to materialist oversimplifiers.
There is a lot to say here, and I will listen to Klein's video and comment, and then construct a new left of my own.
I am sorry to be hard on Jews, but I am much harder on Christians and Moslems. I have always been a philosemitic student of Judaism. But as we examine the case of Israel, all the warnings of antisemites are confirmed. Jews can't even handle a nation state. So why should we listen to them on politics. Marx, as noted, understood this.
In another generation, jewish will be so decayed as to be a cesspool, as Christian and Moslem culture are now.
I would certainly like some kind of political home for myself. Since Rham Immanuel just kicked me out of Obama land, I will have to consider my options.
I have no place anywhere, right, center, left, an orphan of politics, so I will use my rubric of the Ultra Far Left, left of Marx, and, yes, left of Naomi Klein.
So the moral is clear, Jews have to become ex-Christians, effective immediately. You figure it out.
"We have to build that independent left. It has to be so strong and so radical and so militant and so powerful that it becomes irresistible." Who better to say such a thing than Naomi Klein, Nation columnist, author of The Shock Doctrine and No Logo, and longtime rabblerouser Naomi makes a special visit to the GRITtv studio to talk about the recent G20 meetings in her hometown of Toronto, about Obama's recent return to a kind of populism, the looming midterm elections in the U.S., her reporting on the BP disaster in the Gulf, and what we can do to channel the growing rage in this country and in the world into a true progressive movement.
\Here's the Rahm Immanuel link from this week:
Why Rahm Emanuel's Political Calculations Were 100% Wrong
Rahm's attitude was that you could ignore progressive demands because, where could they go? Well, it turns out that the answer to that question is: home.

One of my favorite ways to use a big, exhaustive cookbook is to flip to the index and figure out how to make use of an ingredient I've already got. This week, it was about a cup of buttermilk, and I turned to How to Bake Everything.
I wanted to make something that wouldn't require a trip to the grocery store, which made whittling down my options easy: no Buttermilk Pie or Bars because I didn't have cream to make a custard, no cakes because I don't own an electric mixer (no way I'm going to cream the butter and sugar by hand!), and no cookies because I had less than a stick of butter in the fridge. What did that leave? After about 2 minutes of narrowing down, only one option: Buttermilk Biscuits.
I mixed the ingredients together and had a batch of hot biscuits, fresh from the oven, in less than 30 minutes. I followed the recipe, making a few adjustments: I cut the dough into small square biscuits because I felt like it; I didn't brush the tops with milk because I didn't have any; and they weren't as flakey as they could have been because my refrigerator died and it was a race against time to use already-warming butter. Oh well. They still tasted great and this is real-life cooking.
I use this "what can I do with" method with cookbooks all the time. What can I make with this bunch of chard that's going to go south in another day? How can I get a meal out of pasta and a handful of pantry items? How else can I use this spice I bought especially for one recipe? Doing this introduces me to new ideas, and helps me develop cooking intuition. Once I've made a recipe—buttermilk biscuits, for example—I usually find I want to keep the item around, now that I know all the possibilities.
Plus, I've got some new things I want to try, like that Buttermilk Pie, which sounded really great!
Disclaimer: I am not a Southerner, and rarely make biscuits. I know this is a food that inspires strong opinions in people and it is not one I know well. Any biscuit-making tips are welcome in the comments!

After the hoopla of weekend sales and trying to force too much into two days, the third day is for knitting and reading and rest. And reflection. This is, after all, Memorial Day. I'd like to think that we're all standing down today and remembering those we know, and do not, who have served. A day like this also reminds me just how hectic we are. What happened to us? When did running flat out mean we were accomplishing something? Or are we? Or are we so tangled up in being in motion that we forget something called "leisure time"?
Case in point: I've been noticing a tendency among knitters that I know to say, "I'm under the gun to get this done" or "I've got a deadline." And it's not an occasional thing anymore. It's more like a production knitting, "gotta do" kind of drive. Don't misread me, I join the holiday craft frenzy with as much gusto and sleep-deprivation as the next knitter. But this isn't about the holidays, it's about the "do-or-die" of the everyday. Since when did knitting or crocheting become another reason to stress out? Someplace back in our first year, I wrote a piece on stress management and crafts. A year later I'm getting a little concerned about us.
If I can't convince you to sit a spell and knit or crochet or spin, I can entertain you with the Monday Crazy Roundup:
Off to the Shetland Islands, where we've been watching the battle between the Shetland Islands Council and local advocates of the island's legendary knitting tradition. Not only has publicly funded knitting tuition been made terminal as the result of the latest vote, but now a desperate move to save funds has forced a vote to close 50% of the island's schools. And it might get worse: the Scottish mainland is considering launching an investigation into the workings of the Shetland Islands Council and their financial stewardship of the islands.
It's getting ugly out in Berkeley where "rogue knitters encamped along the Berkeley-Oakland border with lawn chairs, tea cakes and knitting projects to protest the city of Berkeley's order that they remove an 8-foot knitted tea cozy they sewed over the T in a public sculpture they believe insults Oakland." Heaven forfend! And psst! to our Local Yarn Shop owners, c'mon…let's get some civil disobedience going in Albany.
Back over in the UK, the fun-loving NHS (National Health Service), ever on the cutting-edge of socialized medicine, has teamed up with the Mother's Union in Somerset. Result? 150 hand-knitted woolly breasts. I don't make this stuff up, folks. This is a whole new way to teach breast-feeding…in Somerset. According to intrepid reporter, Jason Ramsey, who got stuck with this assignment (and is now taking a major beating in the newsroom), "… this is the first time members of Mother's Union had a request to knit woollen breasts. In fact, at first they misunderstood the concept and thought they needed 150 woolen vests."
Only in the UK could there be a reality show where the star recruits "grannies" to knit scarves for upscale London shops. OK, let's stop right there. What's with the "grannie" thing? Or, more to the point: "knitting grannies". Why, god, why do those two words get stuck together in the same sentence way too often. I mean, it's not like ham 'n eggs or Campari and orange for cripes sake. And what's with the $218.70 US per scarf retail lovingly made by underpaid but grateful "grannies"?
Bad news of the week: O-Wool, the organic yarn that came to us from the Vermont Organic Fiber Co. is no more. The company is liquidating in the face of a tough economy. According to CEO Ed Kiniry, the company's hope to ride the green wave to profit and sustainability collapsed this year. Here's his take: "It's hard to sell a product for 30 percent more, when the consumer can't pick up the product and feel the difference." We'll still see the O-Wool label, which was sold to the highest bidder, but stay tuned to see what that move does to the quality.
Speaking of Vermont, here's the unlikely book of the week, albeit circa 2008. This one is set in a magical Vermont town. Yes, just as reading "grannie" and "knitting" in the same sentence makes for indigestion, reading "Vermont" and "magical" in the same sentence is not only acceptable, it's expected. Until you read that the town is called "Sugar Maple". And it's "remote". OK, I'm from Vermont and I know for a fact the whole state is "remote." And in a state heavy with sturdy British town names, "Sugar Maple" is about as icky sticky as the storyline. And, yes, it involves a town of weirdos: vampires, witches, shape shifters, fairies mixed in with a few tourists and one yarn store. There has to be a yarn store. And a sweet single half human and a hunky Boston cop way out of his jurisdiction and…OK, I'll stop. The author is Barbara Bretton and the title is "Casting Spells". Yes, I read it. I'm still picking the sugar out of my molars.
Last for this week, I discovered that "mind your knitting" is the new buzz phrase. I think it means "keep your schnozzola to yourself" or maybe "keep your beak to the grindstone", I'm not sure which or what. This past week it was picked up and used by media sources around the world to refer to, in no special order, Google, Sex and the City 2, corporate finance, Gwen Stefani, and Cagney & Lacey.
Honest: I just find these things, I don't make them up. See you later in the week.
Thanks to cucucachoo.net, the Shetland Islands Council, SF Chronicle, Top News, News You Can Use, the Vermont Organic Fiber Co., and B. Bretton.
