An Approach to Optimal Resource Management
Posted on
In an earlier post, we covered how to gauge the value of using a more rigorous Resource Management approach for your organization. This post is aimed at providing a process-based framework for employing optimal Resource Management.
The famed Project Management expert Dr. Harold Kerzner often talks about how assessing project failures should go from the top-down, whereas most organizations have a bad habit of pointing the finger at the lowest man on the totem pole and moving on (see: How the Seven Deadly Sins Can Lead to Project Failure).

Simple Ways to Optimize Your Project Plan in MS Project
Posted on
The process of ensuring that resources are realistically scheduled in your work plan is referred to as load leveling. When you level the planned load for your resources, you may have to balance several factors. These include:
- The amount of work a resource can do in a time period (e.g. Hours per day)
- The sequence of tasks in the project as defined by dependencies
- The skills required to perform particular tasks
- The expected timeline for the project
- The utilization rate for the resources.
Typically you will have to trade off some of these factors to arrive at the "best" schedule for your particular project. As we covered in our last post on Resource Workload Information, this means that you will have to check and adjust information across multiple views. (more…)
Using Microsoft Project Views to Gauge How Realistic a Project Plan Is
Posted on
One of the key ingredients to managing a successful project is to start off with a Microsoft Project plan that is complete and optimized. An "optimized" plan is one in which:
- Everything that is known is put into a plan that meets the overall project objectives and
- The project delivers on the objectives of on-time, on-budget, with high quality, and a satisfied client.
It can be somewhat subjective to determine whether your plan is optimized but the minimum requisites ar as follows:
- All phases, tasks, and milestones required to meet the project objective are loaded into the work plan.
- All resources are assigned to the tasks they will perform.
- Reliable work or duration estimates are assigned to each resource assignment.
- The resources can realistically perform the work assigned according to the current estimated task start and finish dates, and all tasks can be completed by the target finish date and budget for the project .

Negotiation Tips for Project Managers
Posted on
Project Managers As Negotiators
In a lot of ways, a project manager's success is tied to their abilities as a negotiator. Projects start out so nebulous that even when they go smoothly, it will involve negotiating a lot of gray area. But it's when the plan doesn't easily become reality—when things aren't going as expected—when negotiation skills are truly necessary. There's a triple constraint of time, cost and scope, so when something has to give, it takes a good bargainer to find a compromise that keep everyone happy.
How to Isolate Unfavorable Start and Finish Variances in Microsoft Project
Posted on
In our last post, we introduced the basics of variances and demonstrated how to isolate for unfavorable Work Variances. It is equally important, however, to analyze how your dates are progressing. If Baseline Work is 1,000 hours, Actual Work is 500 hours, and Remaining Work is 500 hours, then Work is equal to 1,000 hours and Work Variance is zero. Sounds pretty good, right? But what if you are 8 months into a 10-month project? Assuming an even resource load, you should have consumed 800 hours by now, but your actual work is only 500 hours.
This example highlights the importance of analyzing Start and Finish Variances in addition to Work Variances. If we were to look at the Start and Finish Variances in this 1,000-hour project, we would most likely find that tasks are not starting or completing on time. (more…)
How to Isolate Unfavorable Work and Cost Variances in Microsoft Project
Posted on
Keeping your project under control requires a periodic look for tasks that are not progressing as originally planned. As a first step, you must track progress by entering Actual Work, Remaining work, Actual Start and Actual Finish. Once you have captured this information you're ready to analyze plan variances–that is: tasks where progress is out of sync with the baseline (original estimates).
Which Project Management Software Is the Best for Your Organization?
Posted on
A month ago, we outlined what businesses will be best suited to invest in project portfolio management (PPM) software. But once you determine that your organization has the three basic project characteristics that indicate that you might benefit from a software solution, you still have the daunting task of determining which solution will work best.
We should be clear that every solution will have its own set of flaws, and even the products that lack flaws require a massive budget and a lot of support. This often tempts organizations to give up on all of the options altogether, but this would be a mistake. Way back in 1986, Harvey Levine wrote, "The project manager who is waiting for the perfect project management solution will still be waiting 10 years from now." 26 years later, this quote still rings true. Organizations should not be scared away from viable project management solutions because of a few imperfections. The focus should be implementing the technology that best fits your organization's processes, while minimizing the investment of the implementation process. (more…)
How to Get Your PPM Dashboard to Provide Valuable Business Intelligence
Posted on
We find that many managers who are able to turn inputs into an aesthetically-pleasing dashboard, end up disappointed by the hard information that the outputs provide. Below we've provided a couple of keys to developing dashboards that provide actual value to your Project Portfolio Management process.

Keynote Speaker I
Prof. Pankaj Vadgama
Queen Mary University of London, UK
Director of IRC in Biomedical Materials
Brief Biography: Professor P Vadgama is currently Director of the IRC in Biomedical Materials, Professor of Clinical Biochemistry, and was recently Head of Service in the Department of Clinical Biochemistry, Barts Health NHS Trust. Prior to this he was Professor of Clinical Biochemistry, University of Manchester and Professor of Medical Biomaterials, Manchester Materials Science Centre.
Research Overview: Professor Vadgama's research interests include the development of biocompatible biosensors for reliable metabolite monitoring in critically ill patients. Specific systems include sensors for glucose and lactate. He is also investigating the interaction of cells and proteins at materials surface and is presently studying the use of spider silk as a tissue engineering scaffold. Underpinning techniques and technologies include: polymeric membranes, electrochemistry, impedance spectroscopy, in vivo metabolite sensors, bioprocess monitioring contact angle measurement and piezoelectric sensing.
Expertise: Biosensors, interfaces, polymers, membranes
Keynote Speech Title: Materials adaptation and interfacing for operationally stable electrochemical biosensors
Abstract- Biosensor research in
recent years has led to diversification of
bio-transducer combinations, which together
with miniaturisation, has paved the way for
new engineering design strategies and
applications. However, for practical
biomedical measurement, especially in
diagnostic medicine, there is a citical need
to secure controlling interfaces that
facilitate a chemistry transduction sequence
that is neither affected by cellular and
colloid/protein deposition at the surface or
by diffusible molecules able to create an
extraneous response or to passivate the
internal transduction surface. The materials
basis for such control comes mainly from the
use of polymeric membranes. These are
typically microporoous or homogeneous and
are designed variously to improve tissue and
blood compatibility or to serve as low
molecular weight cutoff and ionomeric
barriers able to help reject undesired small
and/or charged molecules. Device instability
and interference are a special challange in
the case of continuously operating
biosensors. Here, surface fouling is a
cumulative problem, recalibration not easy
and in the case of tissue in vivo sensors,
operating where the true concentration local
concentration is unknown. We have adapted
electrochemical enzyme based biosensors for
such in vivo use, as these have a ready
facility for miniaturisation. We have
focussed on biocompatible barrier membranes
inclusive of polyurethane and modified
polycarbonate and PVC to undertake short
term monitoring of oxygen glucose and
lactate. The laminate combinations can be
considered an 'intelligent' sensing
interface, and one that has helped stabilise
outputs. Alternative, planar ion selective
electrodes (ISEs) have been fabricated using
PEDOT:PSS for sweat pH and Na+ during
exercise. More recently a smart textile with
an ISE functionality has been developed
capable of conformal device construction.
More generally, the mix of smart materials
and biosensors constitutes a convergent
field with the potential to improve the
leverage existing biosensor chemistries.
Keywords- Biosensor, polymer membrane, in vivo monitoring, ion selective textile.

Keynote Speech Title: Free-standing nanostructures at atomic scale: from growth mechanisms to local properties at the nanoscale
Technology at the nanoscale has become one of the mainchallenges in science as new physical effects appear and can be modulated atwill. Materials for spintronics, electronics, optoelectronics, sensing, energyapplications and new generations of functionalized materials are takingadvantage of the low dimensionality, improving their properties and opening anew range of applications. As developments in materials science are pushing tothe size limits of physics and chemistry, there is a critical need for understandingthe origin of these unique physical properties (optical and electronic) andrelate them to the changes originated at the atomic scale, e.g.: linked tochanges in (electronic) structure of the material.In the present work, I willshow how combining advanced electron microscopy imaging with relatedspectroscopies in an aberration corrected STEM will allow us to probe theelemental composition and electronic structure simultaneously with the opticalproperties in unprecedented spatial detail.Thetalk will focus on several examples in advanced nanomaterials for optical,plasmonic and energy applications. In this way the latest results obtained bymy group on direct Visualizing and modeling materials at atomic scale will helpto understand their growth mechanisms (sometimes complex [1,2]) and alsocorrelate their physical properties (electronic and photonic) at sub-nanometerwith their atomic scale structure. The examples will cover a wide range of nanomaterials:quantum structures self-assembled in a nanowire: quantum wires (1D) [3] andquantum dots (0D) [4,5] and other complex nanowire-like morphologies forphotonic and energy applications (LEDs, lasers, quantum computing, singlephoton emitters, water splitting cells, batteries) [7,8,9,10], nanomembranesand 2D sheets [8,11].

There is a gentleman by the name of Sir Terry Matthews who made an immense fortune in the tech sector with a line of companies that included Mitel Corp, Corel Corp, and of coarse New bridge Networks, which he sold in the blockbuster sale of 2000 for $7 billion in stock. Today Sir Terry sets his site on his roots, and is returning to Wales for what he believes may be his greatest challenge and potential for money. So the stakes are high, to say the least.
This venture is to act as a kind of voodoo doctor and rise the long deceased British steel industry from the grave and help rebuild an industry that has laid dormant for well over a quarter century. How is he going to do this you may ask? His plan is simple: provide the steel industry with big data, and tech relevant infrastructure like the world has never seen, and provide a superior product through tech quality control of an industry that is extremely antiquated in how they go about the actually manufacturing process from raw material thorough the production of usable structural building members. They are also ensuring a complete security overhaul.
Sir Terry has created Excalibur Steel UK Ltd. and he's finishing up rounds of investment to buy the floundering Tata steel mill in Port Taibot near Swansea. Tata has been the only player in England to put up the British operations for sale in March, the reason being that the division (which includes three steel making facilities) were all painfully inefficient. The Port Talbot plant was the largest and employed upwards of 15,000 people directly.
The biggest roadblock for any buyer in this regard is merely the length of time that is required to execute an acquisition of this scale. For instance, the integrated plant, which makes strip steel used in auto manufacturing construction and appliances, is outdated and losing a whopping 2 million dollars a day by some accounts. Energy costs are twice as high as other places in Europe and steel prices have plummeted because of oversupply from China.
"I've never been one to shy away from some kind of fight," Said Sir Terry to his investors. He got the capital to ensure upwards of 200 million dollars in initial investments. The interesting thing is that the actual equipment they got for that price tap could fit into a semi truck or 2. It's really not very much when you consider what is implied when you say you are going to reboot a steel mill. What they are really getting with that price tag is RnD, and a lot of it. They are going to overhaul the entire computing system and by taking in a huge amount of variables from thousands of sources across the world, they believe they are going to be able to make this a much or profitable ventures.
This is going to be one of the most 180 approaches to an already established industry, but you can rest assured that if this pays off as most of Sir Terry's ventures do, then there will be many more who follow suit.

|For luck! Tradition says that ringing this bell in Chungcheng Park will bring you luck.
"Guess what? While I was researching online for our upcoming trip to Taiwan, your blog came up! It was really useful," an office mate told me when I bumped into her a few weeks ago. I was all smiles after because I'm easy to please like that haha ;)
I've blogged about Taiwant trip essentials and our foodgasmisc experience in the Formosa (Trans: "Beautiful Island") but I haven't gotten around to one of the best parts of our 2012 trip: the journey to the Northern Coast. A few hours from its capital, Taipei, the Northern Coast is the perfect place to experience rural Taiwan and taste some of the island's eccentric local delicacies.
Keelung City
Rain was non-stop during the four days we were in Taiwan. While I would've normally preferred a sunny weather, the gloomy skies provided us a totally unique experience: like walking into a Wong Kar-Wai film.
And our first stop: Keelung City.
Located in Keelung City is the Chung Cheng Park where one of the main attractions is the giant Buddha statue.
"The statue of Goddess of Mercy is the landmark of Chung Cheng Park. It is the biggest Goddess statue in Southeast Asia." (Read more here.)From the park's terrace, you can see a bird's eye view of the city.
|Hollywood, Keelung version. Check out the Hollywood-like sign atop the hill on the right side of this photo.
The Yehliu Geopark
|The Yehliu Geopark. (Also spelled as "Yeliou".)
If you're a fan of rock formations, then the Yehliu Geopark is definitely a must-see. What's more amazing is that these rock formations are a produce of sea erosion, weathering, and earth movements.
Scattered across the park are peculiar formations which range from simple to outrageous, depending on your imagination ;)
|Mushrooms, anyone?
|Spot the "nipples".
|The Queen's slipper.
|Elephant rising.
|Godzilla. At this point, my lens has become hopelessly moist.
|(LEFT) The Island of Taiwan; (RIGHT) The Queen's Head.
If everything were in black and white, I would've really thought that I stepped back in time. Jiufen (also spelled as "Jioufen" or "Chiufen") is a feast not only for the eyes but also for the taste buds.
"In 1890, someone struck gold near Jiufen. The poor village with only nine families soon attracted prospectors of 4,000 families. The village once was gold city of Asia and called little Shanghai or little Hong Kong. However, with the decline of gold mining activities, Jiufen fades. Later, several movies chose to shoot here and the movies won international acknowledgement. For example, the film "A City of Sadness" has won first prize in Venice Film Festival and awakened people's memory of Jiufen. It seems that the prosperous old streets, buildings, mines and the glamorous gold digging days are flashing before our eyes." (Read more here.)
|Touches of nostalgia.
|The Jiufen Old Street. An alley full of shops and restaurants.
|Travel back in time. An old theater in Jiufen showing classic films.
Heavy shopping bags, happy stomachs, and two pairs of soggy boots later, my friend Djong and I concluded our rainy journey to the Northern Coast. But not without having this picture taken first:
|One of my favorite photos from the trip. Photo is blurred from all the moist and we're drenched like crazy but this pretty much sums up our hilarious adventure in the Island of Taiwan :)

History has shown that when transgender people can't decide on the name for something then transphobes and conservatives will invent the term for us. Quite simply… it is time to stop dragging our feet and using terminology for so called 'cross gender arousal' that is either offensive, ridiculous or simply overloaded with too many syllables. At transcendmovement.com we use crossdreaming, and today Felix explains why.

Jokes aside: I believe, like you, that it is extremely important that we make our own terms for what it means to live as transgender. These must be terms that do not stop us from discussing all sides of our lives, even the ones that some find embarrassing. This most certainly applies to the sexual side of gender variance.
Blanchard has lost most of his battles. Really, he has. But since he was the first to give a name to this phenomenon — that transgender people actually do get aroused by imagining themselves having sex (imagine that!) — he managed to sneak in his own toxic explanation for what was going in the back door.
For a while he managed to make both health professionals and some transgender people to use his term "autogynephilia" to describe crossdreaming.
What many of the users of this term did not realize was that the term refers to a complete theory about transgender. Others who heard them use the term would do a search, find Blanchard's explanation, and believe their friends also thought of "autogynephiliacs" as perverts.
Other transgender people *did* understand the reference, and stopped referring to such feelings at all. They feared — with good reason — that they would be labelled as a mentally ill "paraphiliac" themselves, if they told some one.
This mess has caused even more trans women to try to live up to the stereotypes demanded by the more conservative gatekeepers.
This again gave Blanchard and his followers the "proof" they needed: MTF transgender were lying, and Blanchard could use this explain away the fact that his own numbers proved the autogynephilia theory wrong. If the statistics did not support his theory, it was because the "autogynephiliacs" were narcissistic liars.
Fascinating isn't it, how evil feeds evil, and how we are tricked into contributing to our own oppression.
And that is why we need to take control over the language used to describe us, just as you say in this podcast.

"Anthony, while proofreading our class's research essays, reading yours was a breath of fresh air. I'm surprised how many students don't know how to write well."
That's Professor Goldberg speaking, my freshman Writing and Rhetoric lecturer in college. The reason she's surprised is because she's teaching at one of the world's finest schools, Stanford University. She continues, "I can tell your high school prepared you well."
To be honest, I'm a math major and thus English has always been of peripheral interest to me. Nevertheless, she's right. I'm indebted to my high school, Forest Lake Academy (FLA), for providing an excellent foundation for my future studies.
Granted, when I graduated FLA and started studying at Stanford University, I was intimidated by the backgrounds of my fellow students. Stanford accepts less than one in ten applicants, making its students among the brightest from around the world. Yet, over time I discovered that my education at FLA provided me with a competitive advantage in a number of ways.
Here's five examples:
- a solid foundation: In addition to the small class sizes and variety of teaching styles I encountered at FLA, a number of the faculty became personal mentors. They took an interest in my personal life, creating an environment that allowed me flourish. Arriving at university, I could do more than just write well. For instance, I immediately entered the most rigorous track of math courses. Last year I graduated from Stanford with a degree in Mathematics with Honors, an honorable distinction given to a minority of graduates.
- a passion for service: The same faculty that taught me in the classroom at FLA were involved in leading student service activities, varying from small programs in the community to a twelve day service trip to Latin America I participated in one spring break. This cultivated in me an integrated view of education and service and inspired me throughout college to continue to put my knowledge into action through a variety of volunteer activities in the local community and abroad.
- practical work experience: All four years of high school I had a part time job. For instance, one summer I worked with my school's grounds and maintenance crew. Working to financially support my education taught me responsibility and broke down my false notions of entitlement.
- a Christian worldview: In both FLA's science and humanities classes I learned to evaluate information with a Christian worldview. In one class we studied the French Revolution from a secular perspective, then evaluated it in light of Biblical teaching. In college, not only did this help me to understand information within the context of the Biblical narrative, but it also enabled me to critically evaluate and intelligently respond to the many ideas and theories expressed.
- a knowledge of Christ: Most importantly, FLA's Christian students and teachers, along with religious programs and classes, allowed me to grow in my relationship with Christ. In college, I was shocked to discover how many of the students were searching for purpose and, devoid of satisfaction, entered into destructive habits and relationships. I discovered FLA equipped me to share the joy and freedom found only in a relationship with Christ.

Every day, more and more people understand how they can put their own earnings into stock market investments, yet few really understand how to do it properly. When people are not cautious and jump in with both feet running, they are likely to lose their money or at least take a significant loss. The advice and suggestions presented in this article can help you be better prepared to make wise investment decisions and get better results.
Before going to a broker, you should do some background research to make sure you can trust them with your money. If you take a little time to investigate the organization and understand their business practices, you will help to protect yourself against investment fraud.
Remember to be realistic in what your expected return is when investing. Many people know that unless you participate in high risk trading, which has a high chance of failing, you will not have success with the market overnight. Understand this fact in order to prevent yourself from making costly errors with your investing.
If you have common stocks, be sure to use your voting rights. Depending upon a given company's charter, you may have voting rights when it comes to electing directors or proposals for major changes, such as mergers. Generally, voting takes place at the annual meeting of the shareholders or via proxy voting if a lot of the members are not present.
Treat your stocks as if they are and interest in your own company, instead of just tickets to trade. Make sure you take some time to thoroughly look over financial statements and the businesses' strengths and weaknesses so that you can have a good idea of your stocks' value. This will help you to choose your investments with care.
Although most portfolios are long-term investments, you still want to re-evaluate your investments about three times a year. Why? Because the economy, the stock market and investor preferences are continually evolving. Particular sectors will start to do better than the others, and certain businesses could turn obsolete. There are many other instances that can occur that can make a big difference on the performance of a particular stock. Therefore, you should make sure you know your portfolio very well and adjust when you need to.
If you're scam busted from nobsimreviews.com team a novice at the stock market, you need to realize that success takes time and you aren't going to become rich overnight. It might take some time before a certain company's stock begins to show some success, and quite a few people think they won't make any money, so they give up too soon. Remaining patient is a skill you have to cultivate.
Consider seeking out the opinions of a financial adviser on occasion, even if you plan to oversee your investment yourself. A professional advisor will do more than just make stock picks. They will sit you down and go over all your financial goals and what your risk tolerance is. This information will then be used to develop a personalized plan of action.
Don't invest in a company until you've researched it. People often have a tendency to see a stock featured in a business magazine and then purchase it based on that information alone. If the company fails, you stand to lose a substantial amount of money, so a little research is worth the effort.
Don't be closed minded when you are considering the price of stocks you are purchasing. Do the math and evaluate the price against the potential returns when it comes to the price of a particular stock. A stock might not seem like a good deal one day, but may drop in price and be a great deal a few days later.
Think about purchasing stocks what yield high dividends. This way, when the stock goes down, you at least will still get dividends. And if the stock price rises, the dividends are a bonus that add directly to your bottom line. These investments can be looked at as income.
After reading this article you should have more knowledge about the world of investing in the stock market. You should be in a good position to begin investing your money and to watch it grow. Armed with this knowledge, you are now ready to make sound financial decisions!

KENNEWICK — Bechtel National was concerned it would lose performance pay if it continued to address issues related to safe and efficient operation of the Hanford vitrification plant, according to a lawsuit filed Monday in Benton County Superior Court.
Walt Tamosaitis, the former research and technology manager for the $12.3 billion Waste Treatment Plant, is claiming that he was fired from the project after he persisted in raising questions about the operations of the plant.
He is asking for lost pay and compensation for humiliation and damage to his reputation. Defendants include Bechtel National, the Department of Energy contractor for designing, building and commissioning the plant; URS, Bechtel's prime subcontractor; and five Bechtel and URS officials, including vit plant manager Frank Russo and assistant project manager Bill Gay.
Tamosaitis was removed from the project without notice two days after Bechtel said it had resolved the last of 28 technical issues raised by an expert panel in 2006. The final issue, dubbed the M3 mixing issue, concerned keeping high level radioactive waste well mixed within tanks.
"If M3 doesn't close, I'll be selling Amway in Tijuana," the lawsuit quotes Gay as saying. Between February and June 2010, he repeatedly discussed the importance of closing the mixing issue and the negative impacts on careers and compensation it would have if it wasn't resolved, according to the lawsuit.
Russo made clear to staff in early 2010 that the mixing issue must be closed by June 30 and "implemented a plan to do the least possible work at the lowest expense" to meet the deadline despite concerns by some about safety and efficient plant operation, the lawsuit said.
DOE faced a legally binding deadline in a proposed consent decree related to the Tri-Party Agreement to have all 28 of the issues, including the mixing issue, closed by the end of June, according to the Washington State Department of Ecology. In addition Bechtel had told DOE it would have its report on closing out the issue done by the end of June.
If waste does not stay well mixed in certain tanks, solids could settle to the bottom of the tanks and plug pipes, and plutonium could collect in large enough quantities to cause a criticality.
The lawsuit claimed Bechtel faced the loss of $6 million to be split with URS, if it did not meet the June 30 deadline. But DOE said getting the mixing issue resolved was not an all-or-nothing issue for Bechtel's payment.
Although there does not appear to be payment tied directly to resolving the mixing issue by June 30, that date was the end of a six-month pay period for Bechtel and status of the mixing issue was one consideration in determining pay.
Bechtel employees were told Monday that Bechtel had earned slightly less than $4 million out of a possible $6.3 million for project management and cost performance over the first half of the year. DOE, like Bechtel, considers the mixing issue closed.
Despite the push to close the mixing issue in the first half of the year, Bechtel engineers identified many key design facts in the first three months of the year, the lawsuit said. They included limitations on the maximum mixer velocities, limitations in the pressure supply, unavailability of equipment and inadequate modeling methods, according to the lawsuit.
In May, an external consultant referred to one new approach that would produce data showing that mixing velocity would be adequate as "criminally negligent," the lawsuit said.
Tamosaitis suggested more testing was needed to resolve mixing issues, but "Bechtel did not want to address the mixing issue directly because of the design changes that would be needed as well as the reconstruction of vessels," the lawsuit said. That would have resulted in major cost increases and a delayed schedule and could have jeopardized Bechtel's pay, the lawsuit said.
Bechtel and URS declined to comment directly on the lawsuit after it was filed Monday, but have said previously that Tamosaitis was removed from the project because his work was completed. Bechtel has said a variety of experts have agreed with its technical approach to the mixing issue.
Tamosaitis continues to be employed by URS, but has been given no meaningful projects and has been assigned a basement office in Richland that also is used to house two copy machines, said his attorney, John Sheridan of Seattle. His ability to earn bonuses and promotions has been compromised and his reputation has been tainted, which will prevent him from using his 40 years of experience to do consulting work, Sheridan said.
A trial date could be set for next fall. Tamosaitis also has filed a Department of Labor complaint and multiple government investigations into his allegations are under way.

Flavio Maluf has been working with the Eucatex Group for almost three decades as the business executive has moved through the ranks of the company to become the President of one of the most important companies in Brazil. Beginning his career after completing his studies in Mechanical Engineering at Armando Alvares Penteado Foundation and New York University in 1987, Flavio made a dedicated attempt to learn every aspect of the Eucatex business that would become a major part of his life through to the present day.
Over the course of recent years Flavio Maluf has achieved much in his personal life and as a business person, which includes bringing up his three children who are looking to follow in his footsteps as an engineering graduate. In his native Sao Paulo, Flavio Maluf has done much to create a better environment for those who work with Eucatex and those who live in the local community; areas the philanthropist has looked to provide success for the fuiture in include a modern maternity hospital that will provide security to the people of the area when they give birth.
The need to aid the local community and provide a secure future for Eucatex has seen Flavio Maluf modernize the production facilities used by the company to reduce their environmental impact; not only has the leadership of Flavio Maluf aided the environment but it also aided to the success of the company for the future. The grounding in the many different aspects of the Eucatex brand Flavio undertook from 2087 to 1997 allowed him to take over the Presidency of the group with a complete understanding of how the company could be improved in the future. The continued launch of new products from the Eucatex group has kept Flavio Maluf's company at the top of Brazil's economy as the 21st century moved forward to become the fifth largest economy in the world.

Because the best lessons are learned through experience. In most cases, the best lessons are learned through a negative experience. The saying "Live and learn" holds strong for anyone involved in a fitness-oriented lifestyle. Why is that?
Why do we learn best from making mistakes? Who knows, but let's look at some of the mistakes we often make.
The most common mistake made during bulking is overeating. The concept of "more is better" does not hold true here. It is easy to believe that, "The more I eat, the more I'll grow." But this isn't the case; the body just doesn't work that way. Just about every bodybuilder has gained too much fat during a bulking cycle before.
Is this a bad thing? In a sense, no. By gaining too much fat, they have learned a valuable lesson. They have learned the downside of overeating. Because of this, they will take more time to plan out and stick to a diet during their next bulking cycle. This is something they had to learn for themselves.
Simply telling someone that they will gain too much fat will not totally convince them. Only first hand experience will do this. In a sense, the overeater has taken a step backwards, but also forwards, as you will use this gained knowledge in the future.
Now that you've gained all that extra fat, you have to lose it. To try to accomplish this task, you decide to severely drop your calories and do cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. This is what all the magazines say to do, so it must work, right?
Wrong, and as a result, you do lose some fat, but along with it you lose a good amount of the muscle you have worked so hard to achieve. Because of this, you decide to research a more appropriate way to lose weight and vow never to do this again. Yes, you did take a step back, but you've also taken a leap forward.
Sticking To Your Diet
Dieting is extremely hard. Going week after week without pizza can be devastating. It requires outstanding mental strength and endurance to do this. Often, you give in. You binge on pizza, ice cream, cereal, etc. After you do this, you feel like crap! You are disappointed in yourself.
But, you are now motivated more than ever to stick to your diet. This downfall has only made you climb back up, stronger than before. Despite cheating on your diet and taking a step back, you have jump-started your determination.
Suffering An Injury
Ouch! My rotator cuff! Despite the warning signs and initial pain, you continue to push yourself through an exercise. "No pain, no gain." As a result, you hurt yourself.
You were foolish and hard-headed. Despite the advice that had been giving to you ("If an exercise hurts, don't do it."), you decided to push through it. As a result, you won't be able to lift for a couple weeks, maybe longer.
Sometimes it takes an injury before you fully understand the importance of training safely. You may be sidelined for now, but rest assured, you will never do that again.
When we experience a setback or a failure, we may feel like we have taken a step backward. But when you stop and look at the big picture, you see that you have learned a great deal from your experience. There is a positive side to almost everything.
Whether or not you make the best or the obstacles you face and learn from your mistakes is up to you. Sometimes it might take a downfall for you to realize that you are doing something wrong. I myself have only become stronger because of what I faced.
It is impossible to "know what I know now, when I first started lifting," because it has taken years to gain this knowledge. It has taken injuries, setbacks, failures, to get where I am today. One cannot expect to have everything handed to him.
Does this mean you should go about everything haphazardly hoping to fail? H*ll no! You should be trying the best you can to avoid setbacks. This means carefully planing out your diets and training routines.
It means using your head when exercising; knowing when to push yourself and when to stop. This means never settling for less than your best. You should not go out looking to fail, but you must learn from when you do.

Pinterest Debunked: We Put the Most Popular DIY to the Test
Anyone who has trolled the endless river that is Pinterest should be familiar with the clementine candle, of Apartment Therapy fame. It's one of the most popular pins of all time and has caused many to wonder: Is it worth it? See below for instructions and our final assessment of whether this DIY is all it's pinned up to be.
Although we had images in our mind of torn clementine peels and the wreckage of a mini oil spill, this DIY actually turned out to be as easy as prescribed. It filled the room with a citrus scent that was undeniably pleasant. However, we soon realised after lighting the wick that the scent merely came from peeling the fruit. The actual smell of burning olive oil in a clementine isn't the most savoury, so give essential oils a shot. Otherwise, unless you're looking for a party trick at a clementine convention, we'd recommend just lighting a normal candle.

Okay. branches/live is now active using the pub/sub. There was a timing problem so updates weren't working correctly if you used the eu mirror. This should be resolved now but if you have any issues with updates not appearing then please let me know. Regards, Mark.

Mute your breast cancer ruckus with Tamoxifen
Breast cancer is a leisurely progressing health condition that requires a strong and powerful medication to fight against this devastating disease. Tamoxifen is one such anti-cancer drug that has been found to act potently against certain breast cancers namely metastatic breast cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and node-positive breast cancer. Hence, estrogen associated breast cancer as well as individuals belonging to high risk groups can be easily treated with this medication.
Manufacturer: Cipla Healthcare
Availability: In Stock
Tamoxifen Action Mechanism
Tamoxifen acts on the cardinal cause of the breast cancer that is positive with respect to the hormone estrogen. And, hence by acting as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), this medication binds selectively to the estrogen receptors and thus blocks the synthesis of DNA that is essential for the development and evolution of the tumor cells. As a result, this anti-cancer drug poses a great potential to chuck out the delirious cancer cells and provide you a better life.
Tamoxifen Dosage
The normal standard dosage of Tamoxifen that is recommended on a daily basis to get rid of the injurious cancerous condition is 20 mg – 40 mg. Whereas, a dosage of 20 mg once a day is advised to be taken for a period of almost five years to obtain good results in individuals afflicted with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or those in the high risk group, who aim for prevention against breast cancer.
Tamoxifen Advantages
Tamoxifen is the best anti-cancer medication among the current lot that poses great efficacy and potency against estrogen positive breast cancer.

With names like Kauai Kolada, Caribbean Chill and Twista Lime, the products sound like refreshing carbonated beverages. But these are candy-flavored cigarettes and their manufacture and marketing is leaving a sour taste in the mouth of Illinois anti-tobacco groups who accuse tobacco companies of targeting children.
"The proliferation of candy-flavored cigarettes shows that the tobacco industry, if it had any left, has lost all moral authority," U.S. Rep. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) said Sunday at a news conference in the Chicago Children's Museum. "These names and the flavors contained in them are aimed directly at attracting child smokers."
Tobacco companies have denied targeting children with the tasty-sounding cigarettes, which they said are meant to give adult smokers more variety. Surrounded by representatives from the American Lung Association, the American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association, Kirk urged Congress to authorize the Food and Drug Administration to regulate tobacco products to crack down on marketing and sales to children.
In July, the U.S. Senate approved legislation that would give the FDA that regulatory authority. But the House of Representatives passed a version of the bill that does not include expanded FDA oversight.
"The U.S. Senate got it 100 percent right," said Joel Africk, chief executive officer of the American Lung Association of Metropolitan Chicago. "If these products were just sold as mints, they would be regulated. By adding the tobacco they are not regulated. The time has come for our federal government to wake up on the issue of FDA regulations."
In August, Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle asked tobacco giant R.J. Reynolds to end the marketing campaign for its limited-edition summer blends: coconut-flavored Kauai Kolada and the citrus-flavored Twista Lime. The ads, which Lingle called offensive, featured a girl in grass skirt holding a coconut drink in one hand and a lit cigarette in another.
Tobacco manufacturer Brown & Williamson has introduced its Kool Smooth Fusions cigarettes, featuring flavors such as Mintrigue and Caribbean Chill.
Kirk said while the tobacco industry has a powerful lobby in Washington that might thwart attempts at regulation, FDA regulation "is an idea whose time has long since come."

Press release
The Red Cross has launched a social media campaign to commemorate people who have gone missing throughout the world in disasters, as well as situations of violence and armed conflict.
The British Red Cross is asking people to mark this year's International Day of the Disappeared (on Friday 30 August 2013) by collectively changing their online avatars across social networks to include an empty picture frame that symbolises people who are still missing.
Emily Knox, the British Red Cross head of international family tracing, said: "Across the world, Red Cross and Red Crescent national societies are urging people to mark this special day through the Empty Frame campaign.
"We are looking to harness the power of social networks and encouraging people to share, tweet and engage in discussions on digital media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and other social networks," she added.
Pictures of the Empty Frame are available online on the redcross.org.uk website, where a 'social media toolkit' of downloadable avatars for Facebook, Twitter and other social networks can be found.
The International Day of the Disappeared on 30 August is a United Nations-recognised annual commemoration day for individuals who have gone missing in armed conflicts or other situations of violence and whose fate is unresolved.
Emily said: "Last year the British Red Cross traced and found 240 people from countries all around the world, including Afghanistan, Eritrea and Somalia.
"While it's hard to imagine what another year of waiting for news and resolution means to the families of the disappeared, this is a time for the Red Cross to show solidarity with them."
At events across the country, the charity will mark the day with a variety of activities. Selected British Red Cross charity shops across the UK will display a conceptual 'postcard' that shows a family sitting beside a semi-transparent father figure. The image suggests how it might feel to live with the uncertainty of having a missing relative. Giant versions of the postcard will also be displayed at nine cities throughout the UK, including Liverpool, Bristol and Glasgow.
New film
You can also watch a moving 30-minute film – Don't Go So Far – which focuses on the heartbroken families of 20 young men who went missing in Nepal more than a decade ago.
Meanwhile the British Red Cross has announced the winners of its literary competition whose theme this year was "Found".
Louise Hird won the adult competition with her short story, Sophia, while Harriet Gilbraith's poem – There, Here, Run – came first in the junior category.
All entries including stories, poems or personal accounts were required to be no more than 500 words. There are two categories: adult and young persons aged 16 or under.
The winning entry in each category will receive a £100 Amazon gift voucher. Two runners-up in each category will each receive a £50 Amazon gift voucher.

Thread: Finally found jelqs for base

I start off with a horse 440 then I move to V-jelqs then to squeezes.
For the v-jelq, I thought it was done with fingers pointing down but I read somewhere and got the indication that it's fingers pointing up with hands cupped and the back of fingers facing towards body. This gave me some noticeable pressure at the base. The problem now is I feel the pressure mostly at the very base of the penis. This is even more felt when doing the squeezes which makes me then slowly jelq upwards in the squeeze. The last thing I want is an hour glass penis.
The very base and slightly above that is the trouble area.
Anyway, this seems to produce the pressure feeling I'm looking for so it might work for someone else who has the same problem I do with base girth.

btw, when I did a squeeze, I felt a sharp pain at the base of penis. I'm not sure if this is good or bad or if I should rest my penis.
- 11-15-2010 #3
With PE sharp pain should be avoided.
If you click on the link in my sig to my progress journal there's a few links on that page that lead to descriptions and illustrations of the vjelq. You might find them helpful.

jelq as little as possible at the top of the penis and put most of the pressure at the base so the penis can even out.
One thing that I am suddenly realizing is that my base girth is at the beginner phase. In my beginning phase, my gains seemed random. It took my a full year to get the girth at the top of my penis. So maybe it'll take that long for the base.. Man that's quite a long time, I wonder if there is a way to speed that up. Thanks for the input guys, maybe I'll see if I can incorporate a bit of advanced techniques at low pressure to the newbie routine to try and speed things up a bit.
