I had a bit of a rough night. I had a cold yesterday and ended up falling asleep at 5PM. Unfortunately, I hadn't had a drink all that day, and so when I woke up 12 hours later, I had a blinding headache and was hilariously dehydrated.
Instead of having a drink like any normal person who has a concept of self-preservation would, I decided to just go back to bed. My brain decided to punish/reward me for this by having a dream where Tom Clancy's The Division, a game I adore a whole bunch, was actually a sequel.
Here's a preview of Joe Parlock's The Division, a game about turning into a crab and growing trees in post-viral New York.
Joe Parlock's The Division (known henceforth as just The Division) is an open-world shooter RPG that's based heavily off of the Animorphs series of young adult books in the 1980s and 1990s. The plot is simple: the Green Poison has been released on Black Friday, and it's up to a plucky group of kids to save the day using their abilities to turn into various creatures.
For some reason none of the animals on offer are anything useful like an eagle or a bear, but smaller, gentler creatures. The ones I was shown at a preview event (AKA my brain telling me it's dying) were a crab, a fish, and a caterpillar.
Unlike the books, transformation is instantaneous and unlimited. An encounter with a load of flamethrower-wielding Cleaners has an extra layer of tactical depth when the player can simply poof and turn into a caterpillar to make their escape. Or, alternatively, their crab form could pull the trigger of an M40 light machine gun and lay waste to them. This is still The Division, after all.
I question how much use being able to transform would really be, especially the fish form, but my brain reassures me that it is entirely fine and so I didn't question it.
The second interesting mechanic that was cut by the Tom Clancy's iteration is the novel new control scheme: trees. Every copy of The Division comes with trees that can be rapidly grown and moulded to whatever shape is desired. I felt incredibly proud when dream-me managed to grow one tree looping around another, but my dream-mother was less impressed by the whole thing.
I think gaming as a medium is really onto something with the new tree controller. Not only is it a unique way to play a shooter-turned-caterpillar-em-up, it's also incredibly eco-friendly. It's got uses outside of gaming too, as has already been seen by the Indian living root bridges.
Other than that, we still don't know a whole lot about The Division That Never Was, as my preview event was cut short by my phone ringing and waking me up. I'll be excited to see how the full game turns out when it releases next never, but until then I guess I'll settle for the Tom Clancy's version of The Division.
I've had a drink and am not dehydrated anymore, by the way.

She also loves words and language and brings this fascination with English to her linguistics and grammar courses.
A former Writing Center tutor herself, Dr. Kurtz also directs the MSU Writing Center, located on the lower level of Gordon Olson Library. The Writing Center employs student tutors to help writers one on one with their paper assignments and is free for all MSU students.
Dr. Kurtz is a native of Pittsburgh, PA, but she loves North Dakota, too. She is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI). In 2006, she won the Emily Rhoades Johnson Award for the most promising manuscript at the UND/SCBWI Dakotas conference in Grand Forks. She was a the SCBWI Dakotas chapter web master for several years.
She is currently working on a young adult historical novel, a young adult urban fantasy novel, and an adult level detective novel.

Hi, I'm Andrea. I'm a wife, mom to two humans and one semi-furry being. We used to live in Seattle. In 14 years we have lived in Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, Germany, Kentucky and Washington, and London, England. We currently reside in Seattle.
I LOVE to read, obsessively, and I'll read just about anything. My personal favorites are Anna Karenina, Harry Potter, biographies, and anything related to history (preferably from 1660-1945). In another life I worked for investment firms, banks, a commodities company, a daycare, and as a nanny. I've been a college student (more than once), a writer, a blogger, and have been holding down a full-time mom gig for the last 14 years. It is the hardest, least appreciated job I have ever had. And I can't imagine having to get up and go a proper job again. (Well, yes I can. Full-time spa tester in Bali sounds like heaven to me.)
I also enjoy kayaking, wine (not at the same time though…), music and art.
On this blog I might talk about my dog, a mini-dachshund Mocha, who's obsessed with barking at everything; a book I'm reading; politics (which I've fallen in like with); food, which I definitely adore; traveling, which I can't get enough of; fashion/style, or anything at all.

The River Oaks Area Democrat Women of Houston are hosting their annual Holiday party. Where do you think would be a good place to host such festivites? Perhaps the home of a member? A meeting space at a local community center perhaps? Pshaw! No, nothing communicates the joy of the Season or says "Christmas Spirit" like having your end-of-the-year soiree at the local abortion clinic, where children go to be butchered. Merry Christmas from your Democrat neighbors! The worst part? The line that reads, "BRING A NEW TOY". For whom? All the dead children? Even Scrooge wasn't this coldhearted. The Grinch only stole toys. Planned Parenthood steals lives.

In a move that will turn the heads of SEO marketers and online webmasters, Google is said to have released the 25thinstallment of their Panda algorithm. The most recent of the latest seo updates, this algorithm has for last 24 times of its release been used to clear up the Google search engine results page (known as SERP) of low quality results.
The Panda, apart from sending the low quality websites to the bottom of the search results is also known to bring up the better quality sites to the top of the results. This is known to be of help to users as they can now avoid looking at useless spam on top of their search query.
The only official announcement thus far about impending release of Panda 25 had come from Google's Matt Cutts on Friday. However, despite no announcement since then, the web users do seem to believe that the algorithm has been released. Whether it has actually released or not, only an official word from the search engine giant will tell.
The Last Installment
In his announcement, Cutts spoke about how this could be Google's last update of the Panda algorithm which will henceforth be included in the internal indexing of the world's #1 website's SERP. This comes as a closure for the algorithm that has lasted 25 updates as of now.
This move has once again reflected on how Google has an organic growth culture and promotes internal talent. Interestingly, Panda was named after Google employee Navneet Panda who developed the algorithm.
Queries Affected
After every Panda update, a set of web users try and calculate the percentage of search results that have been affected as a result of the algorithm. The number has varied from no change to 11% in English language and from no change to 9% in other language page results. The percentage change for this final update is yet to be calculated. However, it is sure to set the webmasters ringing, now that the news of the update is out, though informally.
The origins of Panda lie in the Google Zoo project which is a series of algorithms meant to improve the quality of search results on the net. In this context, one must mention Google Penguin, which happens to be another algorithm which has caused a lot of query movement across the World Wide Web.
When Google will come out with the correct news and the official word on the release is an event that is being looked forward to.

After losing its first two sets to the River Pilots, the Paden City Wildcats would run the table in the following three sets to win a hard-fought match on Oct. 5 at RL Potts Gymnasium. The night also served as Cancer Awareness night.
In the first set, there were four lead changes, including 21-21; however the Lady Pilots' Allison Bennett put on a serving clinic as she scored the final three points on service aces to give the hosts a 25-21 victory. River served up nine service aces, while the Lady 'Cats only made one.
In the second set, there was 14 lead changes, with the later one at 26-26. After River broke serve at 26, the Pilots' Macey Ladyga served up the last two service points to capture set two.

The dynamic duo of Hope Cooper and Jenna Ferrebee block a shot at the net, while Mallory Yeater looks on.
Knowing their backs were to wall, Paden City girls knew they had to win the next two sets to send the match to an extra period.
In the first set, the two teams went back and forth until it was tied up at 4-4. The Paden City homecoming queen, Kameron McClain, then served up four straight points, before each team served up a point and then they would brake serve until the set was 11-8 on an ace by the Pilots' Lauren Flannery.
After a service fault the 'Cats held a 12-8 lead, and that's when Aubrey Neff served up two straight points, until the Pilots Katie Straub belted a kill to break serve.
It goes without saying, once you make a great play, you get the serve and that is what happened. Straub and company scored the next four points, including another ace by Straub to close the gap to 14-12.
One of the 'Cats freshman phenom - Mallory Yeater - broke the Pilots' serve with a kill, bringing McClain back to the service line. She served up four points, with the help of an ace and a pair of Jenna Ferrebee kills, before giving back the serve with a fault.
Bennett served up two points, before Katrina Heasley broke serve with a kill. Malayna Price served up a pair of points with the other freshman phenom - Hope Weber - belting one of her game-high 21 kills.
After breaking serve, Weber again belted a kill to give service to Yeater. Yeater served up two points, that included an ace.
After breaking serve, the Pilots' Lacey Cordery served up a point, but gave the ball back to Paden City on a service fault.
Needing only one point for the win, Heasley delivered an ace to give the visitors a 25-18 win.
In set four, Paden City rode the arms of Weber, Ferrebee and Heasley as the three combined 13-kills, to win 25-18 setting up the deciding fifth set.
Straub served up the set's first point on a nasty kill by Sapp, but Ferrebee returned the favor with a kill of her own to win the service to Neff. Neff served up two points that was helped by a Yeater kill.
After each team broke each others serve, Heasley drilled a cross court kill before the Pilots broke serve again on a Ladyga kill.
Yeater returned the fasvor with a kill of her own, and won the serve. Yeater would knock down three straight service aces, and Heasley again went cross court with another kill that gave the visitors a 11-5 lead.
Weber would then break serve, and Heasley would add a service point before the Pilots broke serve at 13-7. However, a Neff dink and a Ferrebee kill would give Paden City a 15-7 victory, and the match.
For the disappointed River Pilots, Bennett tallied 12 points, including five service aces, while dishing out 32 assists to pace the Pilots. Straub and Flannery evenly split 18 markers, including a pair of service aces, 10 kills and four blocks, while Sapp posted eight points, two aces, five kills and one dig.
In addition, Cordery netted five points, that included three aces, while Ladyga followed with four points, 12 kills and made two blocks. Megan Dennis scored two aces, five kills and two blocks, while Morgan Mahoney, Candace Caldwell and Halee Schultheis each made a dig.
For the Paden City Wildcats, Yeater scored a game-high 31 points, including two aces, and 19 assists, eight kills and three digs to lead the charge. McClain netted 19 points and compiled 10 digs, while Neff and Price each tacked on 17 points, with Neff adding 20 assists, five kills and five digs, while Price made 20 digs.
In addition, Heasley scored 14 points and made eight kills and five digs, while Weber was one block from a triple double, 21 kills, 10 points and nine blocks. Ferrebee made 12 kills and four blocks, while Jenna Arnett made two sets.
Paden City has an OVAC Semi-Final match Tuesday and will host Tyler Consolidated and John Marshall Thursday, and if they win Tuesday, they will play for the OVAC Class-A crown Saturday.
Paden City Splits Two Matches
Five Lady Wildcats scored in double-digits to help Paden City defeat the Weir Riders 20-25, 25-12 and 25-14 on Oct. 3, inside Bob Burton Gymnasium.
The Wildcats got off slow with the Lady Riders, losing the first set, 20-25. However, the 'Cats put it all together in the second set, winning 25-12. The trend followed in the third set, 25-14, and the 'Cats won the match.
Mallory Yeater paced the Lady Wildcats with 19 points, while Jenna Ferrebee penciled in 15 markers. Katrina Heasley talled 11 points, that included a service ace, while Kameron McClain and Malayna Price each scored 10 points, that also included a service ace.
Aubrey Neff ended the Wildcats scoring with five points, while adding two digs, one kill and passing out 11 assists. Yeater added five kills and 14 assists, while Heasley made three digs and four kills. Price and McClain made 12 digs and three digs, respectively, while Ferrebee had six kills and dished out an assist. Jenna Arnett made a dig, while Hope Weber made four blocks and 15 kills for all the Wildcats statistics.
Jenna Ferrebee scored a team-high eight points, three blocks and seven kills to pace the Wildcats against Ritchie County, but it wasn't quite enough to get the tin, losing in straight sets, 25-18 and 25-21.
Aubrey Neff followed with six points, two digs and seven assists, while Mallory Yeater provided four points, one block, one dig and dished-off six assists. Malayna Price, Kameron McClain and Katrina Heasley, scored three, two and one point, respectively, while Price made seven digs, McClain two, and Heasley two kills. Hope Weber finished the 'Cats statistics, having two blocks and five kills.

Founded by Jim Hedger, Sr. in 1938, Graves Spray Supply began as a distributor for coating equipment. The company, and its reputation for excellence, quickly grew with a client list that included Ford, Chrysler, GM, GE, and many more. To satisfy customer needs for equipment, Graves transitioned to manufacturing automated paint-spray equipment, reaching full production in the early 1950s. Maintaining its tradition of full service equipment distribution, Graves then created Magnum Industries and dove into the developing industry of spray-up fiberglass manufacturing dispensing systems. Meanwhile, across the country, Venus Products was also hard at work in the emerging FRP industry. Founded in 1954 by Frank Ives near Seattle, Venus designed, patented, and produced the first equipment with internal mix fiberglass spray technology.
In September 2000, Graves Spray Supply (Magnum Industries) acquired Venus Products, and Magnum Venus Products (MVP) was born. After merging two reputable and innovative companies, MVP established itself as the leader in the FRP industry through its commitment to truly advanced technology. Today, MVP has solidified its leadership and continues to pave the way for innovation and customer focus.
In response to changing business needs and increasingly strict emissions standards, Venus designed and produced its patented FloChop technology to reduce styrene emissions during the spray-up process. The industry has trended toward lower emissions, and the Advanced Engineering Division at MVP has met that challenge, patenting its FIT systems (Fluid Impingement Technology). FIT exceeds the emission reductions of FloChop and can be easily implemented.
Furthermore, MVP saw the limitations of rigid light RTM molds and the need for an advanced system, especially in the production of complicated parts. To overcome these limitations, they developed the Flex Molding Process, an MVP innovation that utilizes pumping systems, unique accessories, and patent-pending seals to produce more complex parts than rigid molding processes.
"We allow our customers to operate at the highest levels of excellence, and we… know that if they look good, then we are doing our job and we look good," says Peter Hedger of MVP. "We do this through direct sales and service to each customer in the US, with our family atmosphere, and by listening to the needs of our market."
MVP serves its clients by supplying quality products to a variety of industries. These products include pumping systems, spray guns, and filament winding systems. The team at MVP is compelled to go beyond meeting and exceeding the needs and expectations of its customers. "MVP is a family-owned company that has taken pride in not only serving the composites industry, but shaping and driving that industry to excellence," says Hedger.

Client TestimonialsProminent corporations and organizations give rave reviews.
"Dear Jeff, enclosed, please find the videos we presented at the finale of our Leadership Development series last month in Chicago. As we reflect on our inaugural series, we are excited about the positive energy and changes we see throughout the company. While Pepper has been working with you and Russ for several years, we want to thank you specifically for the leadership and coaching you provided to our leadership team through this training.
As a company, we made a purposeful decision to invest in our people during a difficult economy hoping it would challenge them to a new level that can be leveraged by our company for future success. From selecting The Leadership Challenge, by Kouzes and Posner, to coaching our senior leadership team in facilitating the training, we appreciate your flexibility and the way you customized your approach to our organizational needs. We recognize it probably made your jobs harder, and we are grateful for the extra efforts you gave. Our goal was for the training to be transformational, and that's exactly what you delivered. The final Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) results, as compared to the start of our program, represented an overall increase across all five practices for the group. Individually, over the past 18 months, we have seen some of our emerging leaders take on new positions and new levels of responsibility within the company. We also witnessed a new level of ownership being taken in our strategic planning process that is impacting the entire company.
All of this would not have been possible without you and Russ. Russ's analytical approach to our organization combined with your personal motivation and energy translated to our group, and we walked away from each session excited for the next. Now that this first series is over, we look forward to continuing our partnership as we plan our second leadership series. Thank you again for an outstanding experience and for the impact you are making on our company through the leadership development series."
William McCarthy, President, Pepper Construction Company of Indiana
"Jeff: I want to let you know how effective your Teambuilding Program has been for our staff. We were experiencing difficulty communicating and the staff and management appeared to be drifting apart and losing continuity. For whatever reason, the dynamics of our team were changing and creating pockets of turmoil, frustration and confusion.
Due to the complex nature of our campus and the demands of our client, we cannot be successful without good communication and continually strive to learn and excel at all that we do. Your understanding of the essence of the team dynamic was apparent and you customized a teambuilding program which addressed our specific needs.
Through your efforts, we spent a productive day refreshing and rebuilding the elements of a successful team to get back to where we need to be. Great job!"
Glenn Wickliffe, Chief Engineer, Colliers International
"We asked Wolf Management Consultants, Inc. to assist us in a session to discuss and settle retail channel strategies for Sony Electronics. Cliff Saunders was the lead moderator who helped lead a wide range of discussions and opinions. After setting up an evaluation framework, I was pleased to see how Cliff was able to assist us in finalizing a clear strategy and implementation plan. The team at this meeting was very experienced and professional, raising the bar very high for Cliff to moderate and help lead the discussions. The results were clear and implementation has successfully started. I was very pleased with the work, style, and professionalism of the Wolf Management team, specifically Cliff Saunders."
Stan Glasgow, President/COO, Sony Electronics Inc.
"We were looking for a company that could help us train our Market Analysts to use our in-house tools and become more strategic in their recommendations to our clients. We had utilized Wolf Management Consultants, Inc to help us develop a negotiations training program and turned to them again to develop a training program for our team of over 150 analysts. Once again they came through with a unique program that fit our goals. The materials were well developed and written, the exercises kept the training interesting and interactive, and the information was well received by the people who participated in the training. It's been a very successful program."
Dave Gusse, Vice President, Strategic Print Marketing, Newspaper Services of America
"Jeff, just a quick note to thank you and Jim McCarthy for the assistance that you provided to us as we began our strategic planning effort; with Jim's help we have adopted the Prometheus process as developed by John Warden as our strategic planning methodology. The method has provided us a way to achieve our future picture quickly and broadly. We now have a more thorough understanding of the external forces which can affect our ability to provide service in the future. We also better understand the critical elements of our internal system that must change if we are to achieve our future picture. Thanks for the support during this process."
Michael P. Bolton, Deputy Executive Director, Strategic Services, Pace Suburban Transit
"Our Company has always been avid fans of Wolf Management Consultants and when it came time to re-brand our company we asked them to assist us. They developed an impressive on-target identity/logo that reflected the high standards of our company, and then produced a graphically animated website for us that was market-positioned to show our industry leadership.
We had absolutely no doubts concerning the service and expertise we would receive. Jeff Wolf continually followed up and took an active interest in what we were trying to achieve. We were on a tight schedule and Jim Lienhart and Carol Blomstrand met all deadlines without any hesitation or problems. In short, we received the utmost in professionalism and they exceeded our expectations.
Our company now has a new look, new mission and business is better than ever. We appreciate the time, effort and attention to detail to help take our company to the "next level". The experience was amazing and we look forward to working with Wolf Management Consultants for future business needs."
Ellis Rubenstein, CEO, Renovated Metals
"Wolf Management Consultants did an excellent job designing a two-day teambuilding event for my organization. We had several new colleagues join our team recently, and I had a sense that a retreat was needed to enhance internal communications. I asked Susan Spale to design a workshop that would help to integrate the new members into the existing group to create a very high-functioning team. Susan did a very thorough job of interviewing staff members so that she had a clear sense for our organizational culture and challenges. She tailored the workshop to our unique needs and was also very flexible whenever on-the-spot suggestions were made to modify the agenda she had planned. Feedback from our team after the workshop was extremely positive, and we have seen improvements as a result of the workshop. I would definitely use Jeff and Susan again and highly recommend them."
Amy Short, Chief Operating Officer, The Chicago Public Education Fund
"Jeff, I want to thank you for delivering the Consultative Approach to Business Development and Overcoming and Handling Objections workshops at Caremark's annual sales training conferences the past two years. The feedback from our sales team has been tremendous!
The programs were informative, entertaining and the hands-on exercises made it easy to incorporate the information into our sales process. Sales people can be a tough audience, but you did a terrific job of motivating and educating them and the survey feedback validated that everyone came away with great ideas they can immediately take back and implement.
Your ability to customize each workshop was a key to your success as you were able to use our terminology and real life examples which really resonated with the attendees. Lastly, you brought together a wealth of information and put it into a format that was easy to understand and follow.
Jeff, thanks so much for the excellent programs you presented and we look forward to having you back for many more!"
Glenn Mitchell, Area VP Specialty Sales – West, CVS CAREMARK | CAREMARK
"Dear Jim, on behalf of BioPharmaPM I want to thank you for presenting at our July breakfast meeting. All the feedback I've gotten has been positive - you provided a wonderfully useful and productive presentation on "Practical Team Launch". The support that you provide is so valuable and welcome for the livelihood of the organization. Many thanks to you. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of any assistance."
Frances Park, San Diego Vice Chair, BioPharmaPM
"Jeff Wolf and his team at Wolf Management have been instrumental in partnering with Pepper Construction in our strategic planning and coaching initiatives. We've worked with Wolf Management on a variety of coaching related opportunities, as well as strategic meetings over the last several years. They've done an excellent job of learning our culture, strategies and needs first and then responding with well thought out direction and expertise. We will continue to work with Wolf Management and highly recommend them as partners in business."
Michelle Lieb, Vice President, Pepper Construction Company
"I asked Jeff Wolf to conduct a training for some of our attorneys on public speaking. It was truly amazing to witness the transformation of the group from being uncomfortable standing in front of others to dynamic and interesting speakers. This skill will enhance their work in numerous areas and I am truly grateful that Jeff was able to make such a positive impact in such a short amount of time. I look forward to having more and more of our attorneys trained by Jeff and his team."
Amy Knowlden, Practice Group Manager, Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP
"I asked Wolf Management Consultants to design a one-day teambuilding event for my finance department. Although we are a relatively young group, we've been together for almost two years and had accomplished a lot during that timeframe. I asked Kay Zurn to design a day that would not only reinforce what we had accomplished, but would also demonstrate how much more was still available to us by growing further as a team.
She did a wonderful job of meeting with me ahead of time to understand what my goals were, and what I wanted us to learn and take away from this day. She took that information, along with information from the rest of the group and designed our event. The result was a day that was interactive, challenging, insightful, motivating, and above all else.fun! Jeff, thanks again to you and Kay."
Steve Kelley, Director of Finance, TransWorld Media
"As part of an ongoing Business Development Program for our directors we engaged Wolf Management Consultants to pilot a course entitled "Connecting With Clients With Confidence". This seven module, time spaced training program was developed by Susan Spale. Susan did her homework on Huron beginning with interviews conducted with the training team and proposed participants to customize a program that was clearly focused on the types of services provided by Huron Consulting Group to our clients. The directors have informed us that they have been able to improve their skills as a result of attending this course and through the course the role play enabled participants to gain comfort using learned techniques in actual client situations. We found Susan to be very dependable, creative and a good instructor!"
Bob Allgyer and Mary Jo Anderson, Huron Consulting Group
"Our firm recently worked with Jeff Wolf and Russ Day, both to co-deliver leadership training with an internal presenter, and to develop and deliver a full day experiential event that would challenge the participants to "live" the theory they were learning in the classroom.
Jeff and Russ did an outstanding job becoming familiar with the underlying concepts of the material and weaving insights throughout the training and the experiential event. Jeff was extremely flexible in working with his co-instructor and added great value by keeping the class on track and sharing his extensive leadership experience with the group. He built a great rapport with the participants in the session, and the participants found significant value in the pairing of the outside perspective with the in-house experience of our internal presenter.
The experiential event exceeded my expectations. The level of challenge provided was appropriate, and at the same time, the participants really enjoyed the session, while learning all the while. I'm still hearing positive comments about the boat races!
I was very pleased with how flexible and accommodating Wolf Management Consultants was as we planned the session together, and look forward to future projects."
Mary Farias, Manager Leadership Development Programs, BDO Seidman, LLP
"Wolf Management's teambuilding program couldn't have come at a better time for our company. After a recent reorganization, teamwork and departmental tensions were running high. After talking with Jeff Wolf, we decided to focus on reestablishing the strong bond and teamwork that had existed before the restructuring. As a result, Jeff wove a teamwork and trust theme throughout the various working sessions, and managed to share tidbits of knowledge and insight that every employee could relate to the overall goals of our organization, as well as his/her new role in helping to accomplish those goals. His enthusiasm was absolutely contagious …I'm certain we'll have him back again. Well done, Jeff!"
Rick Lundy, Director of Business Development, SiteLab International Inc.
"Jeff Wolf provided our physicians an evening workshop in which a framework was developed to reevaluate their responses to the challenges patients in the 21st century present during an office visit. Jeff introduced core values and ideas, addressed "hot topic" questions, and assisted those present to self-evaluate their strengths and weaknesses. We appreciated his positive, energetic approach and his unique knowledge of organizational styles of health care professionals."
Mary Jane Munley, Director of Practice Operations, M&M Orthopaedics, LTD
"The Wolf Leadership Development Program has had a great impact on our beginning and middle managers who participated in it. They have learned how to take responsibility for their own ideas and step up to make them a reality. By doing so, they have grown in understanding the big picture beyond their area, and also the specific needs of other areas. This program has created valuable business results and an enthusiasm and ownership for change
that continues well after the program itself has finished."
Steve Penhall, General Manager, Sycuan Casino
"Wolf Management Consultants was outstanding in their ability to respond to our needs for high quality training. Their trainer, Susan Spale, was flexible in customizing our session to be most meaningful to our employees and did a wonderful job!
I would like to send you a copy of the evaluations, which were top notch, so watch for them in the mail. Meanwhile I will provide a few of the comments for you:
"Her enthusiasm was engaging and we can all use this information. The video was
wonderful and very helpful."
"Nice energy and good dresser!" (thought you would get a smile there!)
"Really great message. It really helps you focus on how we can change the world in a little way every day."
"Dynamic speaker - fun to listen to!"
Thanks to Wolf Management, our training was a success!"
Julie Zuidema, Hospice of Northeastern Illinois
"Jeff Wolf went above and beyond the requests made of him for our 1st Annual Administrator's Retreat. The group of Administrator's in attendance truly appreciated the personal interaction between their colleagues as well as the energy which was present. We were told not only was Jeff excellent, he was the best ever in his field! We had an awesome retreat and we owe it all to Jeff for bringing his energy to our team of Administrator's.
Thank you for partnering with us. We look forward to working with you in the near future."
Ann Lee Burton, Midwest Orthopaedic Network, LLC
"Conducting effective and efficient negotiations has become a critical skill set for our company's ongoing success. Our business has grown rapidly. We move our people into different roles rapidly and often. With this growth we realized it was becoming more and more critical for more of our workforce to possess negotiating skills and they needed to acquire them quickly, especially since many of our new hires were less experienced. We needed help. The real kicker was we had only three months to design and implement a comprehensive course on negotiations, tailored to our industry for nearly 100 employees with varying skill levels that could be administered by us.
Wolf Management Consultants arrived on the scene in the form of Susan Spale, an articulate, energetic professional who in short order acquired a deep understanding of our business and industry. It is insufficient to say that they worked doggedly to meet our deadline or that they delivered a great product. Both statements are true. The training program received high marks from all attendees and we're already beginning to see results. What is most important is that Wolf Management Consulting became industry experts in our field and developed a relationship with us that had value far beyond the mere assigned deliverable. As we continue to grow and evolve we hope to have other opportunities to share insights and work together toward the successful achievement of our longer term goals."
Tim Rodriguez, Vice President, Newspaper Services of America
"Jeff, I want to thank you and Susan Spale for the great job in developing and presenting the Project Management training here at SANDAG. Susan went the extra mile and met with us over a period of two months to customize the training for our agency. Then she allowed time to conduct a "dry run" with the task force and experienced project managers here. We critiqued and she tweaked. Susan was always very responsive. She understood when we said we wanted to develop a project management culture here and went beyond the regular course in helping us to instill that. The fact that she helped us develop forms and also used the already existing SANDAG forms made the class easier for our staff.
As we move farther away from our base as a planning agency into an implementation/construction agency, the Project Management training will stand us in good stead. Project Managers are already starting to use the Project Charter concept and that ties into our budget process. Also, Critical Path was never made so clear. And if nothing else took, the time savers such as putting the deadline in the introduction or subject line of voicemails and e-mails is a huge benefit!
Again, thank you. I look forward to a long association with your firm."
Leslie A. Campbell, Director of Administration ,San Diego Association of Governments
"Jeff was hired to coach and support our leadership team through a complicated organizational change. His upbeat candor, willingness to listen, and sensible style helped us develop better working relationships, focus on team goals, improve customer focus, restore balance, and deliver results. Jeff's practical analysis and sound advice helped me embrace a new role within our team that requires clear focus, innovation and leadership that is essential for organizational effectiveness, sustainability and business results."
Kaye Shipley, National Director, State Government Affairs, Abbott Laboratories
"After a dozen replies to our RFP, Wolf Management placed in the number 1 position. Susan Spale, the facilitator with Wolf Management, went above and beyond the requests we made for our Insight Leadership Series, ILS, program. She was innovative, energetic and proactive to get to know our business at multiple levels of the organization in order to develop and implement an outstanding ILS program to our staff level employees. My goal is to find companies that I can partner with for years to come, Wolf Management is the partner for me! Thanks for the great work!!!"
Kelley Rhodes, Mgr of Mgmt Development, NA, Insight
"I wanted to take a brief moment to convey our company's appreciation for the energetic workshop that Wolf Management Consultants presented to our staff. I know it must have been a stretch to have you travel to the islands but we were extremely grateful you accepted our invitation to guide us through your management training programs.
I know I do not stand alone when conveying that your program will bring many new thought processes to our managers which in turn will help them face the challenges of their positions. Both Susan Spale and Jeff Wolf were consistent in challenging our group throughout the two days. Your dedication to assisting us went beyond the call by your willingness to participate and engage our managers in our separate group meetings and site visit to our facility.
We hope you both enjoyed your trip to Hawaii and we look forward to using all the new skills you have brought our way. Mahalo!"
Eric Zybura, CEO, Royal Hawaiian Movers, Inc.
"In construction, clear and constant communication can often mean the difference between success and failure. Taylor Frager, Inc. recently hired Wolf Management to facilitate a 2 day workshop for our Senior Management team. We walked away closer as a team, understanding very specific techniques to communicate at the Senior Management level and how to communicate to our employees. Our second day led us through a series of exercises to extract some very definable goals for the next year. We are currently using this new set of tools as a platform for developing a long term strategy for our company. Without the leadership of Wolf Management we would be years behind where we are now."
James M. Frager – President, Taylor Frager, Inc
"Jeff Wolf and his team of trained professionals at Wolf Management Consultants worked with us to develop a customized business development class that complimented our already robust training platform. The group of sales professionals who participated in the class truly appreciated the personal interaction between the trainees and the Wolf trainers as well as the energy and commitment which was clearly present. The idea of being able to create a training scenario designed to meet a unique need rather than the requirement to accept and adapt to a canned program was a key element in the overall success of our training experience with Wolf Management Consultants."
Michelle Candland, Managing Director, Sr. Vice President
CB Richard Ellis | Transaction Management
"Wolf Management Consultants recently worked with us to successfully create a strategic roadmap for UCSD Connect. This was intended to identify a sound course of action that would clarify the core business of UCSD Connect, determine how best to achieve balance in our revenue/cost trade-off, enhance our business potential and focus our resources in support of that direction. Wolf consultants worked very closely with the senior management team at Connect and UCSD Extension to craft a core set of strategic actions intended to satisfy the project objectives, including accessing global partners for revenue growth, new programs and breakthrough business strategies and leveraging resources of the leadership council and advisory board."
Greg Horowitt, Interim Director, University California San Diego CONNECT
"We recently engaged Wolf Management Consultants, Inc. to deliver a one-day, intensive workshop on innovation and risk-taking. The course was structured around the Creatrix(TM) approach to team-based, collaborative innovation. This approach leverages the unique talents and contributions of all team members in a synergistic way. The Wolf consultants worked with us to customize their basic course to our specific requirements and preferences. Feedback on the course was positive and there is already interest in rolling the course out to additional members of our engineering team."
Tony Sarris, Director, Information Management Group, Pacific Development Laboratory Unisys - Product Development & Technology
"When we hired Wolf Management Consultants to develop and produce customized marketing training for a diverse group of attorneys at our firm, I was a little skeptical that it would prove to be successful. Not only did the attorneys show up in great numbers, but there was a buzz in the firm for the next couple of weeks. Since the training was conducted, I received many emails praising the customized training. Though Wolf's website boasts many high-profile clients, I can truly say that I felt like one of the major ones. From preparation to follow-up, they far exceeded my expectations. I'm really not exaggerating when I say that they really made a difference in the way marketing is perceived at Marshall, Gerstein & Borun, something that I feel hadn't been achieved in the five-plus years I was at the firm!"
Lisa Glancy, Marketing Director, Marshall, Gerstein & Borun
"The Board of the Klein Chaplaincy Service had the good fortune to engage Wolf Management Consultants, Inc. to conduct the In-Service portion of our Strategic Planning Grant. We enjoyed working with both Jack Gilbert and Jeff Wolf. The consultants took great care to interview the Board members, to develop a clear understanding of the purpose of the Chaplaincy Service, the commitment of the Board to the survivability of the Chaplaincy Service and to develop short and long term goals that could be attainable.
The Consultants were patient with the Board as it took a long look at itself. They kept the Board on track with good humor and great skill. And, finally the Consultants helped the Board articulate goals which had full "buy-in" from the Board. It is with great pleasure that we recommend Wolf Management Consultants, Inc. They display a true understanding of the unique organizational styles of non-profit organizations. Most of all, we appreciate their commitment to our Board even after the In-Service process has ended.
Please feel free to use our letter as a reference for future endeavors. If you have an organization who wishes to make contact with us, please encourage them to do so. I would be delighted to talk to them in person."
Gila Katz, Executive Director, Klein Chaplaincy Service
"We recently worked with Jeff Wolf and Russ Day to deliver a customized workshop to our entire management staff. We wanted a workshop that would help introduce some of our new key leadership competencies to our managers. The results far exceeded our expectations and the session could not have gone better. Throughout the session, Jeff and Russ were recognized as seasoned professionals with valuable knowledge. Their presentation was informative yet interactive, and educational yet practical. The feedback we received from managers was very positive – from the supervisory level to our CEO. Thanks for a terrific session!"
Stella Wolf, Executive Vice President, Human Resources, Applied Systems
"Jeff Wolf conducted a leadership program for our entire management team. Not only did everyone learn key concepts that they could immediately apply to their groups, but we grew closer as a team through the experience. Since our program, I've been getting a steady stream of positive feedback from the team. There is no doubt in my mind that we will see a tremendous performance benefit from our training, and we are already clearing our calendars for another workshop later in the year."
John D. Fish, CEO, Hubbard One
"Jeff Wolf and his team at Wolf Management Consultants continue to be an excellent resource identifying core development issues in star performers. The individual assessments have provided valuable insight and helped our staff gain perspective in terms of managing relationships, thinking strategically, and establishing clear, measurable goals for themselves. The key to success of Jeff's team is ensuring the right match between the consultant and client, and the flexibility of a program designed to meet the specific needs of the client. Jeff is the first person we call when looking for coaching."
Mary Lou Finn, SVP, Human Resources Relationship Manager, Ketchum Worldwide
"The operating framework developed and implemented while working with Jeff Wolf, has enabled the Principles to focus and operate in a manner that supports growth, delivers value and consistently overcomes barriers. Jeff has helped us with the finishing touches, the little things that make an organization truly professional. The strategies learned will continue to benefit our organization in numerous positive ways!"
David Mallin, COO, Claims Pro, Inc.
"As a trial lawyer who has taken over forty (40) civil and criminal juries to verdict, I was skeptical when I was told that Jeff Wolf could help me with my presentation skills. I have frequently spoken at legal seminars and at client presentations and always received good reviews. Boy, was I wrong. He took many of the principles I use in the courtroom and taught me how to modify them for my presentations. Jeff's approach and teaching methods are highly effective. He can help anyone from the most senior partner to a new associate to improve the skills necessary to make an effective and convincing presentation needed to win a potential client. His training is a must for any attorney seeking to hone his or her presentation skills."
Steven Puiszis, Attorney at Law, Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP
"I was really rusty at the job search game when I came to Jeff Wolf for his help in finding a new position. After 23 years not needing a new job, I had to reintroduce myself to pretty much all aspects of the process. But that was the easier part of the experience. I have to thank Jeff for his help and direction in coaching me through the mental part of the process, in creating a sense of urgency, crafting an organizational approach, and in developing a pattern of persistence that began to generate real leads and several offers that gave me a real choice. My new position has all the key elements that I looked for, and I have to give just about all the credit to Jeff and his skill at not only providing effective direction, but a level of motivation that sustained me throughout this difficult process."
Nathan Clark, Strategic Planning, Carol H. Williams Advertising
"Jeff Wolf and his consultants provided invaluable assistance to us during a critical growth phase of our organization. The healthcare environment had been up and down (for consulting) over the past few years, and Mr. Wolf and his staff were able to assist us in addressing these times with cash flow projections, marketing to the right entities and staffing issues. Jeff also helped me achieve personal growth during a difficult time in my life. I cannot say enough positive things about Mr. Wolf and his team."
Nancy Allcroft, President, Financial HealthSource, LLC
"Wolf Management Consultants delivered two time management seminars to a group of our employees who were not only new to our underwriting department, but new to the insurance business. Prior to the seminars, Jeff and his team met with several of our managers to determine exactly what we were looking for. They even took the time to observe several of our underwriters' work stations. The result was a seminar tailored specifically to our underwriting environment. Feedback from our employees was very positive and well received. The flexible approach Jeff and his team took to develop a seminar to meet our unique needs was highly preferable to a "canned" time management seminar."
Amy Thienpont, Manager, Human Resources, Shand Morahan & Company, Inc.
"I wanted to take a moment to express our appreciation for the workshop you provided. With this being our first sales training seminar for all of our combined companies, I was concerned about being able to cover training for each area, but your planning pulled through to offer us quite a dynamic workshop.
I have been to many workshops over the years, and by far this was the best one to date. Your staff took the time to interview with many of our people prior to the workshop in order to target specific areas of training. The one and a half day training that was recommended for this session was perfect, as well as all of the topics that were discussed. The interaction with all of the participants maintained enthusiasm and excitement throughout the event.
Since the workshop last week, I have had feed back already with the excitement and energy that we were striving to provide. We look forward to utilizing many of the ideas that were brought up during the seminar. Our continued success, growth and team building in the next year has been inspired from this workshop. I am looking forward to seeing where the year takes us."
John Burrows, President DeWitt Companies Ltd. L.L.C.
"The customized training program fit the needs of my salespeople and was energetic, stimulating and highly motivating. Everyone was completely energized and motivated to go out in the field and apply what they had learned. It was one of the most beneficial training classes that we have ever had."
Judy Friedman, Regional Manager, AT&T
"You gave our company new and practical ideas on attitude, teamwork and customer service that everyone could take back and immediately use."
Barry Stewart, Performance Financial Corporation
"Jeff, your consistent coaching skills, professional experience, ideas, and suggestions helped my career considerably. In the last year I went from the newest producer on the team to the top salesperson for the year. I often refer to the ideas, suggestions, and discussions we had last year to stay motivated and keep my marketing program consistent. I will value the professional skills I gained through our work and will value it as a premier experience in training for my career. I appreciate the skills I learned working with you and believe they will ensure my professional success throughout my career."
Cathy Bonfield, CBIZ Insurance
"I have been working with Jeff Wolf for over one year now and what we have accomplished together is amazing. He reads my mind and has been able to give prudent, efficient advice to help me lead my team through a difficult period in the economy. We have been able to share just not business issues but personal issues on how I can better balance my life and achieve the same success at work and at home. I chose to work with Jeff because he has no real life experience in the field of business I am in, (I wanted an outsider) but his skills as a leader can translate into any business environment. He has proven this time and time again."
Jim Gould, General Manager, Sofital Hotel
"Wolf Management Consultants helped our firm, the Wolf Financial Group, design and deliver our first communications training workshop. With the goal of training our managers to both understand our new brand identity and to effectively deliver this message, Wolf Management Consultants partnered with our senior management to design what was a highly successful two-day workshop. I most appreciated their flexibility in designing the curriculum to satisfy our need to both train and educate our managers in the complex world of professional services marketing. The participants were very positive about the experience. In fact, the only downside was that our partners complained that they were not invited!"
Janet Buckstein, Director of Marketing, Wolf Financial Group
"Wolf Management Consultants leadership workshop provided a wonderful set of innovative tools for all levels of our management team. The skills our team gained will provide a strong foundation for the future success of our company."
Barbara Dari, Director of Human Resources, Ubid.com
"Seyfarth Shaw engaged Wolf Management Consultants to help structure and deliver a first-ever series of coordinated marketing workshops. The aim of the program was to provide practical skills and ideas to attorneys who are sometimes afraid of the business development process. In short, we could not have been more pleased. Susan Spale was knowledgeable about structuring the design and delivery of the workshops and provided the content. Then, she was equally adept at changing it and modifying as we rolled out the program and received "input" from participants. I have worked with many Business Development consultants and have found Wolf to be among the best."
Patricia Luchs, Director of Marketing, Seyfarth Shaw
"Jeff Wolf's coaching and consultation services have been instrumental in helping me to:
- Strengthen my effectiveness as a leader
- Build a strong team and positive work environment
- Address challenging management issues
Brian Griffin, Director of Marketing & Public Relations, Delnor-Community Hospital
"I have found that my interactions with Russ Day have provided me with insights that I have used effectively to manage my direct reports. Some of the ideas provided by Russ have helped me address developmental areas in my
own career. His straight forward approach to issues were at times difficult to hear but needed to be said. I do appreciate the help he has provided me."
Shawn McDonald, M.S., Associate Director, Clinical Research, Fujisawa Healthcare
"Jeff Wolf has helped me become more professional and articulate. If you told me six months ago I'd be leading presentations in front of 200 potential clients with confidence and ease, I'd have laughed at you. He gave me the confidence and poise I needed to articulately deliver my ideas and truly shine in my new position. His techniques are easy to follow and implement – and they work. Jeff isn't just a coach or a motivator. He's a strategic partner and friend that I trust and respect. I'm so thankful for the skills I learned while working with Jeff and I know I'll use them throughout my career. I can't thank him enough!"
Alison Lanham, Executive Director, Ketchum Worldwide
"Jeff Wolf coached me through two dramatic career transitions: through a job search and in stepping up to a demanding new leadership role. Throughout both, Jeff's counsel was invaluable. He helped me see my "blind spots"—those traits or habits that I didn't even realize I had. During my job search, his compassionate yet no-nonsense approach kept me focused on the daily work habits that would lead to a new job. If I thought an offer looked imminent, he reminded me to keep pushing harder, because a job prospect could unravel at any time. It turned out to be wise advice. And in my new leadership role, he broke me of the "to-do list" mentality of a manager and instilled the leadership mentality of an executive. He emphasized the importance of truly getting to know my team members both personally and professionally so that I could better understand their motivations and win their trust while keeping people accountable. I am now a far more effective executive than I would have been without Jeff."
Mike Aabram, Charleston – Orwig Marketing

Modern Warfare 3 DGL 2012 Underway
Mon, 20 Feb 2012, 2:38 pm
by Ryan Peter, Do Gaming deputy editor
Tags: DGL 2012, Do Gaming League 2012, Modern Warfare 3, MW3, CoD, Call of Duty
The scores for the DGL 2012 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 first week of games, brought to you by Megarom and Monster, have been calculated and put up, with the first Group already seeing some teams who have played two games (pick and play plus their weekly match). So here are the results.
Group A
FFL.eXe won two of its games played, sitting pretty at the top with an equal score to Monster Energy Gaming but a rounds difference advantage, putting Monster second in the group for the week. =F8N= GSE lost one of its two games, bringing the team in third just above [eViL] who also lost one game out of two.
Group B
While the top three teams in the group each have played and won one game, sitting equal in score, the rounds differences is what sets them apart. Band of Brothers (BoB) 187 has the number one position while Brotherhood of Rebellion (BR) Razerz takes second and Immersion's MW3 team has third. Given Immersion's CoD4 history, it's going to be interesting to see where this team ends up in MW3.
Group C
HyPr Xtreme (HpX) Gameover is enjoying the top spot in Group C, with SSF-Dark Matter and A10 vying for second place.
Group D
Impi and Legion o Anubis' 1Aequitas team are tied equal at first, with two games played and two games won. Even the rounds difference is the same, showing some interesting development in this group.
Group E
32Battalion is enjoying first place with a rounds difference advantage in Group E, with DAC From the Ashes at second and Renegade coming third.
Group F
Vitriolic has taken the top spot in this group but is competing on a rounds difference score against Neverland Gaming, sitting at second.
Group G
FUD is currently enjoying the top spot but managed to get there on rounds difference, with PaRaDoX and aE Blue coming second and third respectively.
Group H
It's Requiem's Risen team who's on the top here with Neos Gaming coming second, with just a little less on rounds difference.
Group I
Coming in at first, second and third (in that order) are Con$script, [xTc]'s MW3 team and FLG-Tactical.exe. Each are separated by rounds difference.
Group J
It's the Rusty Marine Corps (RMC_E) who are at the first spot, only due to a better rounds difference with teaM vintaGe at second. Once again, given a CoD4 history, it will be interesting to see how vintaGe continues throughout this leg. flAsh Gaming Clan is sitting in third, due to having lost its game this last week.
Group K
Separated by rounds difference in first, second and third respectively, is Death or Glory (DoG) Phoenix, Fight or Die (FoD) and then |KK|Knights.
Group L
BoB's m|E|s team is sitting in first with a rounds difference advantage over We Stand Together (WsT).
Group M
With all having played one game and won their games, the difference in scores is once again contested with a rounds difference, with VoiD Elite coming first, ORoFO-Alpha Dogs second and LOA BoW at third.
Group N
The two top contestants for the week have been ICE Avalanche and mMx.MW3, both with one game played and won. ICE comes first with a rounds difference advantage.
Group O
Bravado Gaming – made up of CoD4 stalwarts – has topped this group the last week by a significant rounds difference margin. We'll have to see if they can continue to do the same throughout the leg.
Group P
Thanks to SAPS and A10 pulling out the leg early, The Lama's are sitting at the top spot of Group P with NCX1 coming second.
Too Early
It's still too early to extract any predictions just yet or to start spotting the big contenders for this League. Results for this week's games will be posted once the scores are all confirmed.

As more customers build more powerful applications in Azure using Azure SQL Database, we've seen strong demand for more options to scale performance and database size. To help meet this demand, we've announced two new performance levels within our Premium service tier: P4 and P11. P4 makes it easier for customers to scale performance with more granularity and P11 offers greater performance and larger database size. As previously announced, the P6 offering is now available to replace P3, with no impact to database cost or service. Through October 31, 2015, regions other than South Central US will have one promotional rate for P4 and P11. Regional rates will be effective starting November 1, 2015. Customers who create or assign performance levels in code or scripts can visit the Create Database documentation webpage for more information. One of the advantages of running SQL Database on Azure is the ability to dynamically change database performance to adapt to changing workload demands. These new performance levels help you to scale your performance and meet the demands of your application workloads. For more information, please visit the SQL Database page.

For most bloggers or website masters, scheduling the post publishing is a common practice. Especially, for WordPress users, the content scheduling is easy to achieve. You just need to enter the editing screen of your target blog post, navigate to the Publish meta box in the right hand, hit the Edit button next to "Publish immediately", choose the proper posting date and time, and then, click the Publish or the Update button. However, you may find a missed schedule error when you have done these steps properly. If so, your web contents will not be published at the exact time you have determined properly. Instead, you can find an error message in the website back-end, telling you that the platform fails to post your words timely. To help you deal with this frustrating issue, in the following, we have come out some tips about how to fix the WordPress missed schedule error.
About WordPress Missed Schedule Error
In fact, scheduling is a truly excellent feature of WordPress. Especially, if you are going to have a vacation and cannot open the computer and enter the WordPress admin to click the Publish button, this feature can erase your burden and give you the perfect vacation. In addition, it is possible that you want to post different blog posts at different time zones to better target the potential readers. And the scheduling feature allows you to plan in advance without the need to wake up at some odd times.
However, if missed schedule error happens, you will find that none of your blog posts are available online based on the schedule you have already set. To make the content online, you should click the Publish button manually.
And the thing is even worse that WordPress will not notify you about this error. In this case, when you come back from your perfect vacation, you may find that you haven't shown up in front of your readers for a long time.
What Leads to This Error
Surely, no matter what issue you have met on your website, there can be multiple reasons that lead to it. And the missed schedule one is not the exception. However, as we have researched, the most common reason is due to the failed cron job.
In fact, you can regard the cron job as a task that needs to run or to finish during a specific interval automatically or regularly. You can set the program in advance. And without your human intervention, the cron job will take over in time. In the most cases, the cron job can form the actions like website backup, trash empty, content scheduling and many more.
Typically, the cron job is handled by the servers, the operating system or its clocks. The WordPress cron job, however, works in a different way. Describing its working shortly, when readers land on your website, WordPress will scan the system to check whether there are some tasks that should activate the cron job. In this case, if there is no one visiting your site right before your scheduled content is set to post, the cron job will not be executed.
If your website is a popular one that has the traffic all the times, this issue can hardly happen. If not, you'd better consider the following methods to fix and to prevent this error.
Fix WordPress Missed Schedule Error
To fix this error and to prevent it from happening, the best way is to use the WordPress schedule plugin to finish the scheduled task properly instead of doing this manually with the default WordPress feature.
Or, you can make use of the WP Missed Schedule Posts plugin or the Scheduled Post Trigger plugin to deal with this issue effectively.
Both of these two plugins just require the most basic installation and activation. No further settings are required. Moreover, they will check your site regularly to see whether there are any scheduled posts missed. If so, the plugins will trigger the WordPress cron jobs to have your web content available online immediately.

As the world is moving at an unimaginable speed in the area of information use and dissemination, Nigerians are following along, that is , for those who have access and can effectively use the information technology tools.
"The technology ecosystem in Nigeria is diverse and evolving" says Country Manager for Intel Nigeria, Mr. Olubunmi Ekundare.
"As Information Technology penetration continues to deepen in the country, the number of users of the technology devices and solutions are also increasing." continues Olubumni Ekundare. New media tools are helping people find, explore, analyse, exchange, and present information—most importantly, without discrimination. Take the issue of#EbolaOutbreak in Lagos, Nigeria where social media played a key role in empowering people with information on how to stop or prevent Ebola across Nigeria.
So when participants gathered in Abuja for the 2014 SocialGood Summit Meetup on Monday Sept. 22nd 2014 information use and dissemination was top of the agenda for discussion. With the theme Nigeria Connecting for Good, how technology can help shape Nigeria's growth and development was explored. From crowd-sourcing volunteers for an education project by HolyHill Relief Foundation to using social media to share correct information on sexual and reproductive health and rights, participants shared how information shared via social media is connecting Nigerians and Africans for good.
When Asked what is the biggest issue that social media can solve, Fasoranti Damilola an Abuja based entrepreneur explains that social media can solved "information poverty" in Nigeria. Explaining what that means, he emphasized that to end poverty, people need to get access to correct information that empowers them to find jobs, create jobs, stay healthier, protect the environment and mentor others. Not having access to information keeps people in the circle of poverty. Social media plays a key role in connecting people with the correction information for desired change.
During the session on Blogging, Jenny Chisom of LOGiN Bloggers Network led the discussion on Bloggers at the heart of Connecting Nigeria for Social Good. Many bloggers in Nigeria consider themselves as entrepreneurs and are making a living off blogging but most started as simple bloggers connecting people to information that empowers. For instance, My blog which is primarily proving information that empowers readers gave me first scholarship to travel aboard for a conference and that encouraged me to get more involved in international development efforts around issues of climate change and reproductive rights.
What #socialgood means differs from person to persons as an emerging concept in Nigeria, the #2030Now conversation during the Meetup presented an enormous opportunity for participants to get first hand understanding of what social good means. Winners from the Abuja #Hack4good presented their winning project EMERGY, an online application that provides a platform for Nigerians to report emergencies and support efforts to reduce impact of such disasters.
At the end of the event, participants were introduced to Social Good Nigeria and the plus socialgood platform and ask to continue the conversation. Social Good Nigeria will be officially unveiled this October in Abuja with the launch of Abuja Social Good hub in partnership with Enspire Incubator, at the Abuja Technology Village.

A decade after the 2001 anthrax mail attacks killed five people and injured 17 others, the issue of postal safety has faded in many people's memory, including in many of those that work for the postal service.
As mail volume continues to drop, the postal service has been losing billions of dollars and has had to focus more on its very survival than on mail safety, according to the Washington Post.
"Most people, I think, have forgotten about anthrax in the mail," Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe said, the Washington Post reports. "And truthfully, that's probably not a bad thing."
The Postal Service is now relying on both human checks and screening by machines to track suspicious mail. The U.S. Postal Inspection Service says it has had to respond to reports of suspicious mail 52,000 times since the 2001 attacks. Most calls are false alarms, but there are at least 10 calls every day.
Shift supervisors and postal inspectors regularly receive updates on evolving threats and inspectors practice regularly with local law enforcement agencies in anticipation that another attack might occur.
Overall, postal workers have begun to worry less and less about a real attack, though hoaxes occur regularly. Many have stopped wearing gloves and masks as a precaution. Nonetheless, anthrax changed the way the postal service functions.
"We didn't know how to handle it," Guy J. Cottrell, the chief of the Postal Inspection Service, said, Reuters reports. "But we've made a lot of changes to how we respond to incidents and how we educate our employees if they see a potential threat."
The USPS spends approximately $101 million every year to screen every piece of first class mail that is sent or received by households in the U.S. and every piece of mail that is sent to federal addresses in Washington, D.C.
Testing machines that sample the air to track biological agents and test 36,000 pieces of mail every hour have not detected any harmful biological chemicals since they were installed in 2002.
After being sorted at a Washington facility, federal mail is screened and irradiated at a facility in New Jersey operated by Sterigenics, a medical sterilization company. The USPS said the program costs about $12 million, but refused to provide further details.
Postal service continues fight against mailed bioterror threats
A decade after the 2001 anthrax mail attacks killed five people and injured 17 others, the issue of postal safety has faded in many people's memory, including in many of those that work for the postal service.

The right gift for Mother's Day is one that will be personalized by you and able to speak to you about the way you feel about your mother. It is important because your mother should know how important she is to you and that she is loved.
