|How Long Will a SEO Strategy Need to Take Effect?: eAskme
How long will it take your company to become the number one in their industry?
How long does it take to reach the status of a thought leader in your industry?
What's more important though, you are asking the wrong question. What do you want to know when you ask this question?
If you mean "How long will it take you to reach #1 ranking for a few specific keywords" then the answer is, if you put a lot of money in it, it can be done in a few days. But will your business benefit from it? That's another question.
Rankings are still important surely, but the traffic you get from those rankings won't necessarily translate into leads and customers.
Customers want to find the exact answers to their questions, not just read a ton of information about the subject and subtract the answer from it.
If you already have some data to work with, then the industry research and keyword discovery can take less time, but if you are starting from scratch, a month should be a reasonable estimate.
So technically, you are already doing SEO, but the results are nowhere to be seen yet. Follow SEO checklist now.
As your content goes live (and assuming that it targets the right audience and answers their needs) you will start seeing some results, but don't get your hopes too high just yet.

With each passing month, your SEO results should be getting better and better up to a point when your website traffic isn't increasing all that much. In this case, it might be wise to stop focusing on traffic and shift your attention to conversion optimization instead.
But once you are able to get the giant to where you want him to be, he will serve you with faith and honor, proving that SEO is one of the few marketing tactics with the MOST ROI available today.

Hello Zooppers,
Meet this week's featured member, Ana Carina from Mexico. As a very talented photographer, she most recently won the Kinder Family Photo Shoot project! Please feel free to check out her Instagram, website, and winning submission:
Tell us about yourself, personally and creatively.
I'm Ana Carina a 21-year-old photographer from Mexico. The biggest loves of my life are my family and photography. I started to like photography when I was 14. I grabbed my moms little digital camera and played around with it, taking pictures of my house, family, friends, and also many self-portraits. When I turned 15 my parents gave me my first DSLR camera – I signed up to my first photography course and learned the basics. Since then I've been in different courses and classes making the best out of them. I love doing online research, this enables me to learn a lot about what I love the most. My favorite part of the day is when I can enjoy the "sweet" afternoon light; I'm usually taking pictures and trying out new things at this time.
What brought you to the Zooppa community?
Last December I received an email from Zooppa's Campaign manager, telling me she had found my work in my Instagram account and inviting me to participate in the Kinder Family Photo Shoot contest.
What do you like most about crowdsourced film contests?
I like crowdsourced contests because through them, creatives like myself are able to expose our work to important brands, as well as receiving feedback from every member of the online community.
Name 3 photographers that have influenced your work.
Aran Goyoaga from Cannelle e Vanille.
Ravi Vora.
Tessa Barton.
Where do/did you go to school? How has your education
influenced your photography?
I'm currently majoring in Advertising and Strategic Communications at the Western Institute of Technology and Higher Education (ITESO) in Mexico.
I chose this major because I was looking for something that would compliment my photography career. Also, I wanted to learn about advertising and communication, because photography is a very important element in these matters.
What is your favorite genre of photography to create?
Portraits, landscapes and food photography.
Where can we find you on a Saturday afternoon?
I'll probably be either in a photo shoot, in my house editing or in a coffee shop with my best friends.
Choose 5 words to describe your art.
Bright, natural, simple, spontaneous and unique.
What projects are you currently working on?
Among many projects, I'm working in the photography campaign of a Mexican Designer handbags line. Also I often work with a Mexican magazine called Cream Magazine.
What drew you to participate in this campaign? i.e. – did the brief catch your attention, the prize money, the love for the
When I received the email from the Zooppa's campaign manager, both the project and the community immediately grabbed my attention.
What is one piece of advice you would give to your fellow Zooppa community members?
Take every opportunity participating in Zooppa projects and trust your talent. You'll see good things will happen.
10 years from now where will we see you and your photography?
Building a family and sharing all my life with them. Owning my own photography company working with the best worldwide brands and magazines.
Link us to any work/a portfolio that you would like mentioned.

Your cart is empty.:( Let's fix that!Close
One of my Twelve Commandments is "Lighten up," and I have a lot of resolutions aimed at trying to be a more light-hearted parent: less nagging, more laughing. We all want a peaceful, cheerful, even joyous, atmosphere at home—but we can't nag and yell our way to get there. Here are some strategies that help me:
1. At least once a day, make each child helpless with laughter.
2. Sing in the morning. It's hard both to sing and to maintain a grouchy mood, and it sets a happy tone for everyone-particularly in my case, because I'm tone deaf and my audience finds my singing a source of great hilarity.
3. Get enough sleep yourself. It's so tempting to stay up late, to enjoy the peace and quiet. But morning comes fast. Along the same lines...
4. Wake up before your kids. We were so rushed in the morning that I started getting up half an hour earlier than my children. That means I can get myself organized, check my email, post to Slate, and get my bag packed before they get up. It's tough to wake up earlier, but it has made a huge difference in the quality of our mornings.
5. I've been researching the hedonic treadmill: people quickly adapt to new pleasures or luxuries, so it takes a new pleasure to give them a jolt of gratification. As a result, I've cut back on treats and impulse buys for my kids. The ice-cream sandwich or the Polly Pockets set won't be an exciting treat if it isn't rare.
6. Most messages to kids are negative: "stop," "don't," "no." So I try to cast my answers as "yes." "Yes, we'll go as soon as you've finished eating," not "We're not leaving until you've finished eating." It's not easy to remember to do this, but I'm trying.
7. Look for little ways to celebrate. I haven't been doing holiday breakfasts long, but they're a huge source of happiness. They're quick, fun, and everyone gets a big kick out of them.

We are a family of four, we have two teenagers and have been coming to the Hamptons for over twenty years.
Cordelia Bowe purchased this house in 2007
We bought our home a few years ago after renting every summer in the Hamptons. We love water sports, especially sailing, and this was the perfect spot! Our kids can walk to the bay and the ocean beaches are a quick ride away. We are able to keep two boats at our dock, a runabout and a lazer sailboat. There is nothing like the natural beauty of the Hampton's beaches. Cooper Beach in Southampton has been repeatedly voted one of the top beaches in the US. We also love the fun nightlife the Hamptons has to offer, there is never a lack of something fun to do. The kids feel the same, there are endless activities to keep them busy from day into night.
Cozy 3 bedroom on quiet canal off Shinnecock Bay, great location for paddle boarding, kayaking and proximity to ocean beaches. Nice deck and BBQ grill, ideal for summer getaway.
The vacation property was just what we anticipated-quiet, good accommodations, water view, nearby beaches and plenty of good shopping and great restaurants. We loved it and our children who are young adults loved it too!

Went to the storage unit yesterday and found another bit of home
It was the last beaded item I made. Since then the beads are strung in alternate fashion and I never mastered that. This hangs next to an oriental mat that came from Dakota that hangs beside my bed.
Yesterday Cindy did this.
Their color is striking and adds another interest to the front yard.
Still looking for something to hang on the hooks.
This contains several CDs that I wanted to bring over for listening pleasure. Now it contains things like Supertramp, America, Abba, and other oldies I have collected.
This is a recipe from her diet list. It was very good except it needs low sodium soy sauce because regular was too salty.
Well today looks to be a great day with sunshine and hopefully warmer temperature to go with it. There is a pump to try out in the fountain, an American flag plus pole to hang and bird feeders to refill, Maybe even a little swing time with Brandy and a book.
I hope your day is also as pleasant as mine plans to be.

Angelina Jolie covers the March issue of ELLE. They say at the very beginning that they didn't give Jolie the cover to promote a movie or anything – she's on the cover to promote International Women's Day, which is March 8th. Considering the fact that Jolie is still a major "get" for a magazine, I would assume that she was the one who took a list of people to Elle and said those were the only people who could interview her. John Kerry, the former Secretary of State and former senator from Massachusetts, decided to do it. You can read the entire Elle piece here, and see Elle's exclusive photoshoot with Jolie, Shiloh and Vivienne in New York. Some highlights:
On being engaged globally: "There is this question of, can you be a citizen of the world and still be a patriot? It shouldn't even be a question….I'm very patriotic, as I know you are. For me, it goes hand in hand with being proud of what America stands for. For instance, I'm the only person in my house who was born in America… It's only because we are a country based on people of different backgrounds and faiths coming together that I can have this family. My daughters have the freedoms they have because of being American. And we are at our best when we are fighting for others to have the same rights. Particularly other women.
On politics & humanitarian work: "I was quite anti-politics when I was young. I started working on human-rights issues and meeting refugees and survivors mostly because I wanted to learn. I also had this romantic idea that I would get my boots on and be a humanitarian. But at a certain point, you realize that's not enough. You have to find the root of the problem. And that, so often, brings you back to the law and politics. For instance, I kept meeting refugees who were survivors of systematic rape—rape used as a weapon. Yet there were virtually no convictions. It fired me up to start working with governments and lawmakers. When it comes down to it, we still treat violence against women as a lesser crime.
Crimes against women: "That's exactly it: changing thinking as well as laws. I think of how hard women fought to get us to where we are today. Everything counts, from the way you hold yourself in your daily life and educate yourself on your own rights, to solidarity with other women around the world….I tell my daughters, "What sets you apart is what you are willing to do for others. Anyone can put on a dress and makeup. It's your mind that will define you. Find out who you are, what you think, and what you stand for. And fight for others to have those same freedoms. A life of service is worth living."
Jolie and Kerry have a nice back-and-forth and she's asking him about his life and family too. I was surprised to realize that she IS the only one in her current household who was born in America. I'm also a little bit surprised to hear her talk about patriotism, just because I've never really believed that she thinks in those terms, the terms of patriotism and being proud of American values. She used to be more apolitical, but with the rise of such anti-immigrant, racist and misogynistic fascism coming out of the Trump White House, I guess we all feel more politically engaged now.

The 1940s can be divided between the pre-War and post-War eras. The second World War brought death and tragedy with it. For Hollywood, the second half of the decade was a chance to return to normal. Many of the studios had joined the war effort, making propaganda films or selling war bonds. Some of the stars of the age even joined the fight.
Here are a handful of the Hollywood names who served during the second World War:
James Arness – Harry Belafonte – Ernest Borgnine – Mel Brooks – Douglas Fairbanks Jr. – Henry Ford – Don Knotts
Lee Marvin – Glenn Miller – Audie Murphy – Sidney Poitier – Jimmy Stewart – Peter Ustinov
The post-War years were very productive for Hollywood as they sought to bring a people back to theaters for something other than the newsreels. Once again movies could be a happy distraction for people. Surprisingly, this was also a time when a number of war films were made, relatively soon after the conflict.
The 1940s were an eventful decade with some wonderful movies made despite the World War. Here are the movies I've reviewed:
- The Philadelphia Story (1940) – Nominated for six Oscars, winning two, including Best Actor for Jimmy Stewart
- The Grapes of Wrath (1940) – Nominated for seven Oscars, winning two, including Best Director for John Ford

- His Girl Friday (1940)
- How Green Was My Valley (1941) – Nominated for 10 Academy Awards, winning five, including Best Picture and Best Director
- The Maltese Falcon (1941) – Nominated for 3 Oscars, including Best Picture
- Pot O' Gold (1941)
- Sullivan's Travels (1941)
- Mr. and Mrs. Smith (1941)
- Citizen Kane (1941) – Nominated for nine Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director, winning one for Best Screenplay

Can Rafael Nadal bounce back from a poor performance in his most recent tournament? The Spanish pro is set to face quality opposition at the 2016 Argentina Open where he plays for the first time since his disappointing first round loss at the 2016 Australian Open.
All eyes are on Nadal, who is currently the World No. 5, as fans and tennis experts alike are excited if the former World No. 1 still has what it takes to perform at a top level in the ATP tournament in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Seeded players in this tournament include David Ferrer (Spain), Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (France), John Isner (Unite States), Dominic Thiem (Austria), Fabio Fognini (Italy), Alexander Dolgopolov (Ukraine) and Pablo Cuevas (Uruguay).
Other players include Juan Monaco (Argentina), who will have the crowd behind him and Spain's Nicolas Almagro and Fernando Verdasco, who was responsible for Nadal's early exit at the Australian Open.
Verdasco beat Nadal in five sets, 7-6 (6) 4-6 3-6 7-6 (4) 6-2. The loss was painful for Nadal, who had a two to one set lead but lost the close fourth set and was dominated in the fifth and final set.
The 29-year-old Nadal, who has struggled with injuries the past two ATP seasons, is the defending champion at the Argentina Open winning in 2015. Nadal beat Monaco, 6-4 6-1 in the championship round last year.
Nadal is safely through the second round in this tournament as the first four seeds have earned a first round bye.

In January, Franklin Templeton Investments rolled out an educational program to help advisers persuade their clients to get back into the stock market.
As the year approaches its end, David McSpadden, senior vice president of Global Advisory Services for Franklin Templeton, admits he's a little surprised to find the program as relevant as ever.
"I definitely think skepticism remains around the market," he said. "People are not comfortable around the economy, and that's carrying into their approach towards the markets."
Judging from mutual fund flow data, that's true in spades. In September, stock funds posted outflows of $11.16 billion, after shedding $16.5 billion in August, according to the Investment Company Institute, the mutual fund industry group.
Investors are still flocking to bond funds, which had inflows of $26.49 billion in September and $30.81 billion in August, according to the ICI.
Franklin Templeton's 2020 Vision campaign makes the case for investing in equities in the decade ahead. It aims in part to focus investors on the market's history of long-term growth. It is also designed to help correct misperceptions that many investors have about the stock market.
"We feel very pleased with the response we've gotten from advisers," said McSpadden. "They've been very appreciative of the content, and feel it's the right message for clients."
One common misperception, turned up in a Franklin Templeton survey of 1,000 Americans earlier this year, is that the stock market was either down or flat in 2009: 66% of respondents held that view. In fact, the Dow Jones Industrial Average actually posted a gain for the year of 22.68%.
"We wanted to help reorient clients and provide a tool for financial advisers who were having those conversations with clients, said McSpadden.
Trying to persuade investors to return to the stock market is not an easy task, says Alois Pirker, senior analyst with Boston-based research firm Aite Group, LLC.
"With the uncertainty that the market is projecting, consumers are saying, "I don't know where the market is heading," he said. "To a fair degree, you have to say they're right."
Investors' hesitancy has been a drag on revenue for everyone from brokers to mutual fund companies, he noted.
"It's definitely one of the big issues the industry is facing," he said. "Business has been way down, and the results have really shown in the last two quarters."
Franklin Templeton's wholesalers have made 2020 Vision presentations to financial advisers, and joined them for presentations to clients. The company has distributed more than 320,000 brochures for advisers to give clients.
And it's made a range of content available online. Charts and interactive graphics are used to make the case for equities over the next decade. That case consists of five points—that the market rises over time despite volatility; that investment opportunities around the world are growing; that innovative companies will present new growth opportunities; that quality companies will thrive during a recovery, and that equities are a hedge against inflation.
Interactive quizzes are sprinkled throughout the content. One asks which of the following companies were founded during a recession—IBM, Disney, Microsoft and McDonald's. The answer? All of them.
"A number of advisers like to have that available and ready," said McSpadden. "They like the interactive nature of it and how it lets clients play a guessing game."
It's impossible to gauge the extent to which the 2020 Campaign has succeeded in getting investors comfortable with the stock market. But the trend for Franklin Templeton appears encouraging. As of September 30, equity assets comprised 43% of the company's total assets under management of $644.9 billion, according to the company. That was up from 41% on June 30, but still below the 47% mark of Sept. 30, 2009.
At the same time, Franklin Templeton's fixed-income assets declined slightly on a percentage basis. They accounted for 39% of total assets under management on September 30, compared with 40% on June 30. But they remain above the 33% level of September 30, 2009.
Still, there's clearly a ways to go in winning investor hearts and minds, said McSpadden. "Anecdotally," he said, "I have heard from financial advisers that they are more optimistic than their clients in general."

Minnesota St. edges Colorado Mesa
Johnson's walk-off homer gives Mavericks their record 46th win
MANKATO, Minn. -- Nolan Johnson connected on a game-winning home run on Friday afternoon propelling top-seeded Minnesota State to a 7-5 win against third-seeded Colorado Mesa in the second round of the NCAA Division II Central Region Tournament at Franklin Rogers Park.
The Mavericks from Colorado Mesa jumped ahead early scoring three first-inning runs on three consecutive run-producing hits by Jeff Popick, Mitch Corwin and Dustin Fackrell to take the lead out of the gate.
The score would remain 3-0 until the fourth when Minnesota State found its offensive with a four-run inning.
Mike Eckhart got the MSU scoring started with a bases-loaded double which brought in two runs before Ben Kincaid would tie the score at 3-3 with an RBI groundout.
MSU would capture its first lead with its next at-bat as Connor McCallum connected on an RBI double which brought home Eckhart to give the Mavericks a 4-3 lead.
After a scoreless fifth inning, Colorado Mesa would retake the lead in the top of the sixth scoring two runs courtesy of back-to-back sacrifice bunts which each scored a run as CMU went in front by a 5-4 margin.
However, the lead wouldn't last long as Minnesota State tied the game at five in the bottom of the inning when Kincaid's single to center field scored Matt Odegaard who had doubled earlier in the inning.
Colorado Mesa would threaten with two runners on base in the top of the ninth but Mahlon Zimmermann was able to retire both batters he faced to end the inning which set up the Mavericks' late-inning heroics for the second consecutive night.
After McCallum, who reached base on a fielder's choice, was sacrificed over to second by pinch-hitter Todd Standish, Johnson set flight to a 1-2 pitch over the left-field wall as the Mavericks sealed the 7-5 victory.
The victory was Zimmermann's first of the season as he was the second relief pitcher of the afternoon after TJ Larson took over for starting pitcher Harvey Martin who lasted just one inning after allowing two earned runs.
Larson allowed two earned runs on six hits while striking out six batters in 7.1 innings of work.
Minnesota State was led at the plate by Lucas Skjefte and Odegaard who each recorded two hits while Mike Eckhart, Kincaid and Johnson each added two RBIs.
The Mavericks (46-10) also set the Minnesota State school record for wins in a single season as the old record was 45 wins which was set back in 2007.

(PRWEB) October 17, 2014
East Coast media is up in arms that one of their darlings is not going to be in the Fall Classic, but that is a point that the large and passionate fan bases of the Royals and Giants could not possibly care less about. What they care about is winning a trophy, and both teams are talented, dedicated and focused enough to be on the doorstep of that very task.
For San Francisco, they will have the opportunity to hoist one of professional sports most coveted trophies for the third time in five years. For Kansas City, the mere trip to the 2014 postseason represents the first time that the team has accomplished the feat in nearly 30 years. In this light, one could say that it is a battle of experience versus youth, but both squads are packed with young and hungry players anxious to stamp their names into baseball folklore.
Each team has recently relied upon strong starting pitching, timely hitting and an undying will to win games the matter. Travis Ishikawa's amazing walkoff blast into the right-field seats at AT&T Park on Thursday evening cemented the Giants place, and they will be looking to ride that momentum when they square up with a team that has set an all-time major league record by rattling off nine straight postseason wins.

PasTest Listens to Users, Launches Brand New Website
Medical experts PasTest reveal the launch of their brand new website to improve the consumer experience along with a variety of new features to coincide with the companys 40th birthday.
Medical and Dentistry revision expert PasTest has launched a new website after asking for feedback from customers representative of its three million annual visitors.
The Cheshire-based company offers online revision, courses and books for medical and dental students and qualified doctors. Its website has consequently become an invaluable resource amongst students, medics and surgeons - so much so that the average user spends more than 27 hours a month on the site.
However, the firm realised the old website did not suitably showcase the wide range of rich multimedia revision services provided, such as podcasts, an iPhone app and video lectures.
After deciding to create a new design to improve the consumer experience, PasTest sought the opinion of their customers with extensive website usability testing, focus groups and questionnaires.
As a result, the website and MyPasTest, their eLearning portal - which can be found at http://www.pastest.co.uk - have been transformed with vibrant colours and fresh iconography.
In addition - in response to customer demand - a variety of new features have been added, including interactive online lectures, new iPhone, Android and BlackBerry HTML5 apps, podcasts and complete past papers.
Commenting on the launch of the new site, Hannah Brown explained that the goals of the project have simply been to bring PasTest up to date with the changing needs of our customers, with a more engaging look and feel to the website, and additional features to make their lives easier
Our motto at PasTest is dedicated to your success. By putting our customers at the heart of the redesign process, every decision made has been customer led, with the aim of making revising easier and more enjoyable.
The new website is also being launched to coincide with the companys 40th birthday celebrations and are proud to assist thousands of medical professionals every year with a growing range of sources and multimedia platforms.
PasTest is the UKs leading provider of online revision, courses and books for medical students and professionals. For more information about the companys services, visit the PasTest website at http://www.pastest.co.uk.

SHOW NOTES AND MP3: https://www.corbettreport.com/?p=19300

Today Professor Michel Chossudovsky joins us to expose the EU as the imperial project that it always was, and the growing movement against EU domination as an anti-imperial movement of world historical importance.

A classic Victorian melodrama with psychological undertones, Gaslight was written and first produced in 1939 but has all the elements of the era in which it is set. Not least of these is the title, which gave rise to the term 'Gaslighting,'meaning a form of mental abuse – domestic abuse in particular. Running beneath the thriller element, this issue, is still relevant now, although this is not the case in other respects i.e. the issue of women's rights in Victorian times which has moved on.
Putting this much-discussed element aside, this latest revival, has one important feature. While not quite the 'spookiness' of the Academy Award-winning 1944 MGM film starring Charley Boyer and Ingrid Bergman which the more mature members of the audience may still remember as sending shivers down the spine in every scene, director Anthony Banks' reproduction has a comic element which works well.
Set in the mid-1880s, the plot centres around a young wife, Bella Manningham, played by Kara Tointon (recently seen on our TV screens in Halcyon) whose husband Jack is slowly convincing her that she is going mad. Left alone every evening in a gloomy house in London while her husband (Rupert Young) is out on the town, Bella is becoming increasingly scared by the disappearance of various objects, unexplained footsteps overhead, and the mysterious flickering on and off the gas lights. Is the terror paranoia, brought on by her bullying husband who, under the guise of pretending his love for her, manipulates her like a puppet a string – does it exist purely in her imagination? Or is she going mad? Bella's doubts are further fuelled by the knowledge of her mother's descent into madness and committal to an asylum. It is left to a retired detective Police Inspector, played with evident relish by Keith Allen, to solve the mystery – and in doing so make a shocking discovery.
Tointon is a convincingly distracted Bella who calls forth our sympathy, while Young plays it cool as a the villainous Manning with a calculated nastiness, but it is Allen, as the unconventional Police inspector hot on the trail of a murderer still at large after a crime committed several years ago, who lifts this production out of the run of the mill. Under the direction of Anthony Banks, the playwright's wry sense of humour rises to the fore, due in no small part to excellent timing by Allen. A neat portrayal by Charlotte Blackledge as Nancy, the Manningham's pert maid with secrets of her own and a steamy although brief sex scene gives an edge to the production, with Helen Anderson in the cameo role of the housekeeper.
David Woodhead's set is a faithful reproduction of a middle class sitting room in Victorian times, with a distorting mirror and hidden doors adding to the claustrophobic atmosphere, aided and abetted by lighting designer Howard Hudson's masterly soft lighting and faithful reproduction of gas lighting – in the literal translation, that is.

Notes: Clustering and sequential pattern mining of online collaborative learning data
Perera, D., Kay, J., Koprinska, I., Yacef, K., & Zaïane, O. R. (2009). Clustering and sequential pattern mining of online collaborative learning data. Knowledge and Data Engineering, IEEE Transactions on, 21(6), 759–772.
Citekey: @perera2009clustering
mirroring (p. 2)
To underpin our work, we have used the Big Five theory of group work [1]. (p. 3)
It has established five key factors: leadership, mutual performance monitoring, backup behaviour, adaptability and team orientation. (p. 3)
As a main clustering algorithm we selected k-means which is the most popular. It is also simple, effective and relatively efficient [20, 21]. We used the WEKA [22] implementation with Euclidean distance measure. (p. 5)
The most important problem was attribute selection. The performance of clustering algorithms is very sensitive to the quality of the attributes. (p. 5)
As shown in the previous section, simple statistical exploration of the data was quite limited. The results suggested the need to consider multiple data attributes simultaneously. Clustering allows us to use multiple attributes to identify similar groups in an unsupervised fashion. (p. 5)
Such results are useful for the course co-ordinator. They highlight that Group 1's behaviour is distinguished from the others. The co-ordinators had some sense that this group was well managed but this cluster analysis pointed to the particular behaviours that distinguished this group. We only noticed these after the results of the data mining prompted us to look at particular parts of the TRAC sight and to see the way they used tickets. (p. 6)
This new understanding was used in subsequent teaching and was judged by the facilitators to be helpful. (p. 6)
Based on our interpretation of the characteristics in Table 6, a cluster label was assigned ("Managers", "TRACoriented developers", "Loafers" and "Others"). The distribution of students from each group into these 4 clusters is presented in Table 7 (p. 7)
There are two main approaches to sequential pattern mining: apriori-based [25] and pattern-growth methods [28, 29]. Both of them find the same results but the pattern growth approach is much faster. (p. 8)
An important aspect of our data which is ignored by mining techniques such as clustering is the timing of events. (p. 8)
- A data mining technique which considers this temporal aspect is sequential pattern mining [25]. (p. 8)
:::New note
apparently, they run with a very low support and pick those ones showing greater difference.
so we do not necessarily need 50% of support.::: (p. 10)
We ran the GSP algorithm with a very low support threshold because when patterns are found to be frequent in one group, we need to compare this with the exact frequency in other groups where they are not frequent. (p. 10)
the best groups had many alternations of SVN and wiki events, and also SVN and ticket events whereas weaker groups had almost none. (p. 10)
Although the overall number of patterns found was very high (up to 40,000), only the ones that are frequent in at least one group and low in at least one other were retained, reducing easily that number down to a humanly manageable size of about 50. (p. 10)
In contrast, the least successful group displayed a high level of alternating wiki and ticketing events, but also had a distinctive lack of sequences containing SVN events. (p. 11)
the best group was one of only two groups to display the patterns (1tb)(1sb) and (1sb)(1tb) – the first likely being a ticket being accepted by a team member and then SVN work relating to that task being completed and the second likely being work being done followed by the ticket being closed. (p. 11)
the top group used the ticketing system more than the wiki, whereas the weakest group displayed the opposite pattern. (p. 11)
Another series of patterns which characterised the best groups were tickets being initiated by non-leader group members (p. 11)
A pattern which characterised the poorest group was the tracker creating and editing many tickets, for example in the patterns (1tT), (1tT)(1tb) and (2tT). (p. 11)
We found that the two top groups had by far the greatest percentage support for the pattern (1tL)(1tb), which were most likely tickets initiated by the leader and accepted by another team member. The fact that this occurred more often than (1tL)(2tb), suggests that the better groups were distinguished by tasks being performed on the wiki or SVN files before the ticket was closed by the (p. 11)
6.7 Limitations of Sequential Pattern Mining (p. 12)
We found that the top group had very high support for patterns where the leader interacted with group members on tickets, such as (L1t)(b1t)(L1t). (p. 12)
A problem with our mining program itself is the lack of gap constraints – as noted in [25], a frequent subsequence of (X)(Y) may not be meaningful if many other events occur between X and Y. Another issue is the need for more automated methods of processing output which go beyond manual sorting techniques. Emergent pattern mining [32] and contrast sets [33] may be possible solutions. Finally, there still remained the need to assign meaning to the patterns in order to learn about group work in general. The importance of finding the right balance between alphabets that are too abstract (limiting interpretation) and those which are too specific cannot be understated. (p. 12)
In addition, the best group displayed the highest support for patterns such as (b3t) and (b4t), suggestive of group members making at least one update on tickets before closing them. (p. 12)
this group also displayed higher than average support for patterns of interaction involving multiple team members, such as (b1t)(c1t)(L1t). (p. 12)

I am unable to leave my home. I have very bad anxiety and panic disorder. I want a normal life but am afraid of even setting foot out my home. Is there anyone out there having the same issues please help thank you

I tried Buspar for anxiety and it didn't do much for me. What has worked really well is Inderal or Clonidine. It helps block that crazy anxious feeling I get when I'm around a lot of people, like shaking hands, rapid heartbeat, and sweating. They are also non-addictive and non-habit forming. You might also want to try something like Prozac to help control the anxiety. The good news is that Buspar helps a lot of people, and if it doesn't help you, there are many other options that will. If you want to try something other than medicine, meditation, therapy and exercise can reduce anxiety.
Thank you so much for answering me.
I used to get so scared of leaving my house, my anxiety would get out of control if I did. I stopped going out with friends and wasn't able to get a job because I was too scared. The good news is I now have a full time job, I go to school full time, I go out with friends and family a few times a week as well. My point is that things get better!!! Things will slowly get back to normal if you are patient and keep looking for a solution!
What medication do you use?
Cymbalta (for depression and anxiety), trazadone(insomnia) and clonidine (anxiety). I've also been in therapy for about a year. I was on prozac for a long time too which helped quite a bit.
I'm gonna ask my dr about clonodine thank you.
Hi pinkbarbie76,
I have panic disorder and I take Xanax, which works like a charm! When my panic disorder first began I also felt like I didn't want to leave the house, with Xanax, I just can't wait to get out and have fun!!
Keep on your doctor, there IS help for you out there! Therapy and medication are both great tools and also, be courageous, even if you've to force yourself just to walk to your mailbox.
I wish you only the best, and a better life, a life that is LIVED!
Agoraphobia can be treated, don't lose hope!
Thank you
Its hard I know I sometimes cry my eyes out because of the fear. Having an attack in front of ppl or anyone I'm just so scared. But how can I over come this .
The strange thing is Pink Barbie76, I usually have them and I get so pumped up on adrenaline from it that I don't really consciously realize what is happening until I'm already in it. Its bad I don't fully understand what triggers it quite yet all I can gather is its from abuse and fear. It seems as if i'm cornered and I cant make a choice. Usually it's something trivial in retrospect but at the moment I feel like Im in immediate life threatening danger. For instance I had a bad encounter with a mental health facility and an physician that used to treat me. I know for certain that its a trigger. Every time I feel Im losing control or not getting my point across my behavior escalates and I begin to panic, desperately trying to be heard. When it comes to my medication, I suffered a breakdown after going off my meds so it plays a role in everything. It seems like Im getting violent but its the severity of the panic attacks and I'm trying to fight it.
When it comes to fight or flight I guess I fight. Im not one who likes violence or fighting or even being hostile. Its embarrassing i feel like a child. I get so agoraphobic I cant leave my house without my ipod,sunglasses, my phone, etc. If i forget one thing it amps up my anxiety and I cant forget it I have been late going back for sunglasses and miss my bus, miss work, and just stay inside. its a downhill slide. I would think a Dr or nurses would know what is going on when I have them right in front of them. I guess not however because they took it as combative or aggressive behavior, addict behavior, med seeking, and childish. They treat me like a child afterward and basically delegate how my treatment will take place. The anxiety is so high I cant concentrate so it shouldnt be legal to treat a patient in that state especially after stating the severity of the anxiety. Fortunately I saw a urgent care physician and he diagnosed me with panic disorder, truthfully thats just the tip of the iceberg, I need to get in with a new psychiatrist willing to manage the medications Im already on and get to work with a therapist to change my coping mechanisms they are so far off. It is very hard to live with this affliction but I know if I can get my panic attacks under control and my anxiety I can turn it around. It will take work and its gonna be difficult but I cant live like this indefinitely and I don't want long term physical addictions, bu that I mean I dont want to just treat the disorder with a medication, I want to regress it and taper off meds. Its a battle for sure.
I'm in the same boat I'm trying so hard to do it on my own but is a daily battle. With meds I get them controlled but not enough which it scares me bcz I don't wanna live like this forever. Is a scary feeling like your gonna die or something is hard to even explain. All I know is that I'm really scared of this ..
Yeah I have the same feeling its confining. Remember not to think of anything as forever. You can work. through it, meds just help facilitate the initial progress but recovery is a process. I honestly didn't know until recently what was going on I had honestly thought I lost it entirely. I was a severe junkie at one point I worked through it I now have 6 years w/o abusing drugs. It can be done.
I have the exact same issues that have developed over the past 8 months. I've been on Valium for 6 1/2 months 5 mg twice a day and it doesn't do anything for me. Dr suggested adding buspar but says it takes along time to start working. Mine is so bad I start shaking in the shower. I can't hardly do anything it scares me so bad.
Ashton jean I feel you it so bad for me as well. I wish there was something out there to help people like us because I know were not alone. Best of luck to you.
BuSpar has been exceptionally effective for me. Before, I could barely step foot out of my house and driving was impossible. I take 30mg twice daily and it works.
As for benzos, I wouldn't touch them and my doctor refuses to prescribe them anyway because of the permanent long term damage they cause.
Counselling is also something to consider to learn ways of coping ~ I can now use learned behaviour controls to "talk myself down" during anxiety/panic attacks.
It works if you are willing to work it...

|Judas guides the soldiers - A. Bida
TO CHEW ON: "Now when He said to them, 'I am He,' they drew back and fell to the ground." - John 18:5
Even in this darkest of moments, when one of Jesus' friends is in the act of betraying Him and another is about to deny Him, flashes of His God-essence come through. Otherwise what was it that caused these soldiers to "fall to the ground"?
"Man was not made to handle the electricity of God" someone once said (or words to that effect; I can't find the exact quote). Which makes what Jesus did when He surrendered Himself up to die for us all the more amazing. He could have immobilized that whole detachment long enough to get away. But instead, a little later when Peter did some damage with his sword in Jesus' defense, Jesus rebuked: "Put your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink the cup which My Father has given Me?" - John 18:11.
In a few weeks we'll be celebrating Christmas and Jesus' birth. It's more evidence of how intentionally the God of the universe put Himself in human hands as He took on human flesh and surrendered Himself to the human condition. Let's let the enormity of what He did give depth and breadth to our praise, worship, and thanksgiving.
PRAYER: Dear Jesus, Your life was not taken from You; You laid it down, and for me. Help me to comprehend just how amazing and wonderful this is. I thank You. Love, V. Amen.
MORE: And Can it Be?
The second stanza of the old hymn by Charles Wesley expresses today's thought so well:
"He left His Father's throne above
So free, so infinite His grace
Emptied Himself of all but love
And bled for Adam's sinful race
'Tis mercy all immense and free!
For O my God, it found out me!"
Hymn historian Robert Morgan believes this song may be the subject of Charles' diary entry on Tuesday May 23, 1738, written two days after his conversion on May 21st: "I began a hymn upon my conversion." The fourth stanza is certainly a vivid testimony of a changed life:
"Long my imprisoned spirit lay,
Fast bound in sin and nature's night;
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray—
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee."
- Robert Morgan, Then Sings My Soul, pp. 44, 45.

The 1-5-B, Episode 6: Joe Totten reads from "The Starling Killers"
On Thursday, September 28, Utah writer Joe Totten came to Salt Lake City's Finch Lane Gallery as part of READ LOCAL, a collaboration between Salt Lake City Arts Council and 15 Bytes, with financial support from Utah Humanities, in which we pair emerging local writers with established writers for a reading and discussion of their work.
A professional writer for more than twenty years, Totten helped create advertising campaigns for companies, including Intel, Microsoft, 3M, Verizon and General Motors, among others. He is currently at work on a novel about the American West, not the one that has been over-mythologized for the past hundred years, but the Real West of greed and crime and casual bloodshed. The novel explores the existential violence and darkness at the heart of the American character–the brutal passions and animosities that churn just beneath the surface of our national psyche. Totten lives in Midway, Utah with his wife.
Totten read his short story "The Starling Killers," which won first place in the Utah Division of Arts and Museums 2016 Original Writing Contest (Short Fiction). The recording is featured in this episode of The 1-5-B.
Totten appeared together with Michael Gills, who read a chapter from his novel Emergency Instructions. You can listen to that podcast here.
Totten and Gills appear in another episode, discussing their craft here.

SHARIFF SAYDONA, Philippines (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Dina Yusef points to some rice and a few cans of sardines – all she has left to feed her four children and husband nearly a month after they fled their Philippines village when soldiers cleared the area in their search for armed Muslim rebels.
"I want to go home because we don't have food," Yusef told the Thomson Reuters Foundation at a camp set up in a school in this town in the Maguindanao province of Mindanao, the southern Philippines island where Muslim separatists have fought the army and police for 45 years.
The United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR) said on Friday that fighting between government forces and a splinter group of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) had forced more than 120,000 people to flee their homes since late January.
The conflict flared after rebels killed 44 police commandos in an ambush in late January during a police bid to arrest two wanted militants who had taken refuge with rebel fighters. One of the militants was later arrested.
The clash shattered a three-year ceasefire and dealt a blow to plans for a fully autonomous Muslim region in the south of the mainly Christian country.
The Yusufs are one of at least 22,000 families now living in evacuation centers, schools, tents or with host families.
They urgently need food, clean water, tarpaulins, hygiene kits and latrines, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said last week after visiting the area, one of the poorest parts of the Philippines.
Besim Ajeti, head of the IOM's office in Cotabato city, said in a statement that about 70 percent of the displaced families were living in tents and needed better shelter.
The evacuation centers also need to be better organized with camp committees to ensure needs are met properly, he said.
The government of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), which controls part of the island, is providing food aid and a few plastic sheets, but the IOM fears that food supplies from government agencies may run out soon.
International aid agencies said they had been unable to bring supplies to the area because of security concerns.
"For the time being, the armed clashes and general security situation does not allow our teams to access the area," Allison Lopez, spokeswoman for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in the Philippines, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
Farmer Mustafa Bado said he and 500 families from his village fled about three weeks ago to the town of Shariff Aguak, where they now live in makeshift tents by a roadside.
"We evacuated because the soldiers came to the village and we feared being caught in conflict," Bado, who is the village official, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
"We have not received any relief assistance since arriving here, neither from aid agencies nor from the government," he said.
Aida Badu and her husband fled their village with their three children aged between one and three. They now share a tent in Shariff Aguak with seven other families, some of them extended families, the 31-year-old said.
"For dinner we will cook bananas which we picked on our way", she told the Thomson Reuters Foundation. "Tonight we are eating our last bit of food."
Yusef said she carried her four-year-old child during the day-long walk from their village to the evacuation center, bringing only a few belongings in the hope that they might be able to return soon to their bean farm.
"Our source of income is bean farming and we can't get access to our farm," the 24-year-old said. "I don't know what I'm going to do tomorrow."
After staying at the Nabundas elementary school in Shariff Saydona for almost four weeks, they have no idea when they can return to their village, she said.

On the Bar Rescue episode '12 Beers a Slave,' Jon Taffer works with Brad Stegman, the owner of City Bar in Las Vegas. Stegman left his corporate job with a casino and sunk his life savings into what he envisioned as a traditional, neighborhood tavern. But when he started to lose $6000/a month, Stegman allowed his bartenders to create their own events. One bartender hosted "fetish nights," which included S&M whippings.
Taffer helped Stegman break free of its S&M ways and rebranded the bar as The Bradley, Gaming and Cocktail Lounge. But the new name and look didn't last very long. According to the bar's Facebook account, it has permanently closed. On June 30, The Bradley was sold to The Sahara Lounge. Bar Rescue airs Sundays at 9pm on SPIKE.
