Influence Diagrams trong luyện thi PMI-RMP
In the previous chapters we took a look at Cause and Effect diagrams as well as Flowcharts. In this chapter we are going to cover the third diagramming method which is "Influence Diagrams"
Influence diagrams are diagrams that show potential influences that elements or situations in our project can have on one another. An influence diagram can show:
- Causal influences
- Time ordering of events &
- Other relationships among variables and outcomes
Within our existing project decisions, we can determine where uncertainties exist based on the potential scenarios. You can compare these influence diagrams to a decision tree but they are slightly different. Using influence diagrams we can look at a situation and how a decision can be arrived. It can be used to identify the uncertainty in the potential paths as well as to identify potential risks.
There are multiple boxes with arrows going from-to one another. An arrow starting at Economy and ending at Education signifies the fact that economy has an impact on education. So, more number of arrows arriving at a box means that it is impacted/influenced by many factors. Similarly, more number of arrows starting from a box means that it impacts/influences many factors.
If there is a problem in the Economy it can impact almost every aspect in this influence diagram. So, a hiccup in the economy may cause uncertainties in every aspect of this situation which is a potential risk which we can identify based on this diagram.
An important point here is that, the example above is just a general one and does not deal with any specific project or its risk. The influence diagrams we may end up creating/using for our project will all be concerned with risk management only. After all, that is the whole purpose of this RMP certification isn't it?
To Summarize – Influence Diagrams:
• Are diagrams that show potential influences that elements or situations can have on one another
• Reflect relationships among variables and their outcomes
• Can be used to view the order of potential events
• Help to spot uncertainty and therefore potential risks
• Are used to make decisions

Words by Sean Moeller, Illustration by Johnnie Cluney, Recording engineered by Julian Dreyer
I'm not familiar with the seasonal differentiations that happen on the West Coast, particularly in California, but it seems that, since Vetiver's Andy Cabic spent some time in his past in North Carolina, that he knows what they should or could be. The sidewalks outside here are emblazoned with the yellowed droppings of the trees getting ready to shut down for the winter, ready to be cold and bare. It's a blanket of half-alive, but mostly dead, ready to dry up and be jumped into by energetic children. We kick them out of our ways with a hop in our step, some delighted acknowledgement of the cyclic nature of weather in places where there are four very distinct seasons. We sort of feel for Cabic as we get the sense that he would live for the autumn. He would breathe in the plumes slithering off the tops of Styrofoam cups of hot chocolate, held tightly by mittened hands. He would close his eyes and savor the smell and the heat and he'd relish the days turning to those where we can break out our sweaters, or that extra layer that we've had to place in the backside of the closet for almost a year now. It's what we're most comfortable in and we can't wait to bundle up just a little bit more. Vetiver music is up to its knees in the sweet apple cider cues of the season, smooth and soothing, warming us straight through with one tiny little gulp. It tumbles down our throats and we're suddenly toasty and well. We've got a tolerable nip in our nose and ears, but it's nothing that we can't handle. He tints his music with the burnt colors - the fried reds of ripe apples, the thick yellows and the twilight oranges of a blood orange - that we associate with the revival sounds of days that end early and chase us indoors just to get away from the white breaths that seem to be talking back to us in the ways that they hover around our heads and mouths. It almost seems as if he writes songs thinking about bonfires and the gatherings that he's had around them. They are the easy rides that friends and lovers taken when they've got nowhere to be in a hurry. They are hugs and smiles that come from arms that mean it, from people who absolutely don't want you to leave them. These are the hugs and smiles that are thought back upon fondly, with a vacant twinkle in the eyes. Then you come to, shake the fog and the memories clear and realize that the fire you'd made has wound itself down to a small smolder and you can't feel your toes. You decide that you're going to go in and see if there's any more hot chocolate or cider left.

Quote from How to Make Masculine Interior for Male Living Room on a Budget :
In this modern era, living room interior design is very dynamic. It might be not so masculine like that two main stereotypes above, but the well-managed one is absolutely giving you a different and classy but warm taste of living space. Stripes pattern is definitely male stuff along with the black and red which is as obvious as men feel. In the decorating color, the color choice must be vivid and avoid the pale color. People also must avoid the curvy feature in every furniture and change it into a straight line that more masculine in shape.

So as you may have heard, there's a pair of Ebola virus victims currently in the United States. They're here instead of a third-world shithole because, well, this is America, and not a third-world shithole. Here they're going to get some excellent treatment and will, we all hope, have swift recoveries.
Of course there are also people who are now convinced we're all going to die, because, you know, Ebola.
The Ebola virus is a particularly nasty one. It basically causes you to die by liquefying your organs, sloughing off your skin, and making you bleed from pretty much any hole you can think of, most especially those you don't want blood coming from. It's been isolated to Africa, more or less, and I think most people (aside from Africans), are happy to have it stay there. But now it's here in the USA and that means…
Well, nothing, really. You kind of have to work to get Ebola. It's only transmitted through blood, and people are only contagious during their symptomatic stage. So I suppose that as long as you keep a respectful distance from anyone whose skin appears to be falling off, you'll probably be fine.
And indeed, this is what most responsible media outlets are reporting. Everything is fine. All is swell. There's no need to worry. NOW WATCH 15 HOURS OF NON-STOP COVERAGE INCLUDING SCARY PICTURES OF PEOPLE IN BIO-HAZARD SUITS AND SICK FOLKS!
So, yeah, Ebola is here. So is smallpox. It's contained within the CDC, which is in Atlanta where, not surprisingly, the Ebola victims are headed. When was the last time you heard of anyone dying from smallpox? It killed waaaay more people than Ebola ever could. But the last time anyone caught it in "the wild" was in 1977. We've been able to keep that contained. We should have no problem keeping Ebola contained.
So stop worrying.

1) Make sure you have some Anti-Virus software--preferably something well known like Norton or MacAfee--installed and updated with the latest virus definitions.
2) Start up your system in Safe Mode.
3) Turn off all Services you don't absolutely need or don't recognize.
4) Remove any program startup selections you don't absolutely feel safe with.
5) Run a full virus scan on your system.
I did this and found that a number of the services that had been installed were infected. I then removed those services using Add/Remove Programs and found they were not removed--surprise, surprise. So I removed them from the disk, manually, and then removed all references to them in the registry.
This is a hassle, true, and if you have backups of your data and know its virus free, might be easier to reinstall windows. I found this to be an easier solution, though, and it worked.
Good luck.

Previous to that I was a web assistant which involved processing/refunding online orders, picking and packing orders in a warehouse and customer services via telephone/email. During the my most recent role as the Graphic Designer I was responsible for updating the homepages, creating email campaigns and all different types of print based work for the 8 retail stores around the country. From time to time I would also produce magazine published work and other small projects including designing a mobile website, working with o2 and any shopping centre specific promotions. I would liaise with various print and web companies to fit in with deadlines and would be on the phone chasing up work in time for new season arrivals/sales. All this would include me working with HTML, CSS, PHOTOSHOP, ILLUSTRATOR and DREAMWEAVER. Along with database software for customers and customer orders. Including generating sales reports for current stock, stock sold in the past, stock held currently and/or waiting to be delivered. I also assisted with photography and shooting my own photographs to use in my work on a daily basis.

Alaska's Past is Still Being Written
Kenai History featured in Trails Across Time: History of an Alaska Mountain Corridor
Ever wondered about the quartz veins in the road cuts along the Seward Highway? Did you know Johnson Pass hasn't always been a recreational trail – prospectors blazed it in the 1890s and it soon became a wagon road thoroughfare. Want to see the coastal geography of Alaska through Captain Cook's eyes in 1778? Or perhaps you'd like to learn how stone lamps dating back to 2000 B.C. reveal a history of multi-cultural use on the Kenai Peninsula.
An updated 2017 edition of Trails Across Time: History of an Alaska Mountain Corridor features riveting new stories and photos about Alaska's first and only National Heritage Area. Originally published in 2005, Trails Across Time explores the historic trails, tracks and waterways of one of Alaska's most scenic places. From the geologic forces that shaped the landscape to Native trails, a gold rush, and the eventual building of a railroad and highways, the area reflects the broader history of Alaska. The valleys and mountains, communities and people of this unique place tell the larger story of a wild place and a rugged frontier.
Published by Ember Press, the book is a publication of the Kenai Mountains-Turnagain Arm (KMTA) National Heritage Area. The KMTA National Heritage Area is one of forty-nine Heritage Areas across the nation. Established in 2009 through an act of Congress, the KMTA National Heritage Area mission is to recognize, preserve, and interpret the historic resources and cultural landscapes of the Kenai Mountains–Turnagain Arm transportation corridor.
Author Kaylene Johnson-Sullivan is a long-time Alaskan whose books include Our Perfect Wild: Ray & Barbara Bane's Journeys and the Fate of the Far North (University of Alaska Press, 2016), Canyons and Ice: The Wilderness Travels of Dick Griffith (Ember Press, 2012), A Tender Distance: Adventures Raising My Sons in Alaska (Alaska Northwest Books, 2009) and other books, articles, and award-winning essays. She is the executive director of the KMTA National Heritage Area.

Barcelona: Here, too, an additional day or two is needed to get a sense of the city and the culture. Highly recommended are tours that feature the work of Antonio Gaudi, Barcelona's most famous architect, who created sensuous, fantasy-like buildings. Some tours include extended visits to his greatest works - La Sagrada Familia cathedral and the public Park Güell - and brief drive-by views of other Gaudi buildings. With additional time, it's possible to visit some of the city's seven World Heritage Sites, the Gothic Quarter and walk tree-lined Los Ramblas, a feast of cafés, shops, street performers and flower sellers.
Istanbul: This city of infinite variety where Eastern and Western cultures meet demands more than a single day. It's a city of mosques and minarets, sultans' treasures, crowded bazaars, and holy Christian landmarks -- and it's also a chaotic modern city that was the capital of three empires: the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman. There are tours that focus either on Ottoman sites or on Byzantine sites; both include a short visit to the Grand Bazaar. Also noteworthy: a Jewish heritage tour that also includes a Grand Bazaar visit. With a one-day stopover, the best choice is a city tour that includes at least some of the major sites: Topkapi Palace (former residence of the Ottoman sultans, the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, the Hippodrome and the Grand Bazaar.
Mykonos: Of all of Greece's islands, this one is the most fun. It's a bustling beauty with glorious beaches, waterfront cafés, delicious food (especially fresh fish) and shopping. The largest town is Mykonos town, also known as Chora or Hora; inland is the village of Ano Mera. The Hora walking tour includes all the major landmarks. For history buffs, the "must-have" tour is to the island of Delos, a World Heritage Site. Birthplace of Apollo, this vast archeological site includes temples, homes, statuary, a theater and a small museum.
Nice: Extra days would be bonus in this walk-able Riviera city - because it's within easy driving distance of such destinations as Cannes, St. Tropez, Monaco and Eze. When time is limited, "Best of French Riviera" tours can include Cannes, St. Paul-de-Vence and Monaco. More concentrated are the city tours, the Cannes walking tour, the Monte Carlo walking tour and the Eze walking tour.
Palma de Mallorca: This pretty, sunny port, capital of the Balearic Islands, has a long and colorful history that's reflected in the styles of the churches and buildings. Time in port can be pleasantly spent on one of the inviting beaches or meandering along Palma's winding streets to visit castles and churches. There are city tours, also excursions to Valldemossa and the Drach Caves which usually includes a visit to the famous Majorca pearl factory.
Rome (Citavecchia): If the itinerary permits, more than one day is a must. The Imperial Rome version includes major sites like the Roman Forum, Colosseum, Arch of Constantine, Trevi Fountain, Vatican City and more. The Eternal City tour includes access to the Sistine Chapel and Vatican Museums. With more than one day of port time, exploring on foot is a "realer" way to experience the city, to visit at leisure the Colosseum, the Pantheon or the Forum, walk the fashionable Via del Corso, savor the Italian meals, and to sample the exquisite gelato.
Santorini: Santorini lives up to the gorgeous photos of dramatic whitewashed cliff-top houses, hotels and churches, photo-worthy caldera (volcanic craters) and black beaches. The Thera volcanic eruption in the second millennium B.C. gave rise to the legend that the lost city of Atlantis lies beneath the bay. Some passengers may wish to simply enjoy lunch at one of the clifftop restaurants, take a leisurely stroll and do some shopping at the many upscale boutiques. It's possible to ascend the cliff from the port to the city by donkey, most passengers either take the cable car or a shore excursion. The most popular tour may be the one to the exceptionally beautiful
Oia Village.
Venice: Beautiful, romantic and unique, this fairytale city deserves an extended stay. Centuries ago, the city was a wealthy world power; today La Serenissima is a magnificent grande dame, still enchanting - in spite of the armies of tourists. Many first-timers splurge on a romantic gondola ride on the Grand Canal, either through the cruise line or on their own. An espresso at the legendary Caffé Florian, the oldest in Italy, costs about ten bucks, but that experience is priceless when the musicians (March-October) provide a romantic serenade. There are excursions that visit the Basilica di San Marco, the iconic Torre dell'Orologio clock tower, the Doge's palace and other landmarks, as well as boat trips, to the island of Murano to see glass blowing and to Burano to see lace-making.

Posted on 08/20/2010 5:56:27 PM PDT by Kaslin
Politics: President Obama hit a new low in using a recess appointment to name Maria del Carmen Aponte as U.S. envoy to El Salvador. The radical has consorted with Cuban spies but will be taking no questions.
Dismissing three congressional holds on Aponte's ambassadorial confirmation as "playing politics," Obama used his vacation to slip Aponte through to represent the U.S. to the strategic Central American country, without a vote in Congress.
That gives Aponte, a campaign contributor aligned to the immigration lobby, access to top-secret information as a political reward.
But Aponte's past is one big red flag. From 1982 to 1994 Aponte lived with a man who worked closely with the Cuban Mission to the U.N. and allegedly was a spy.
Aponte claims her ties to the Cubans were just "social," but Cuban spies working in the surveillance hotbed of New York don't waste time on things "social."
They trawl left-wing community groups for potential agents of influence, seeking ideological affinity and common interests. That's how they recruited another Puerto Rican of similar background, Ana Montes, who was convicted of spying in 2002.
The FBI spotted this problem in Aponte's resume in 1994 when she made conflicting statements to the agency and refused to take a polygraph. As a result, she withdrew her nomination as ambassador to the Dominican Republic during the Clinton administration.

Dolly, just go ahead and do so. It needs to be in breaking news!
Please post for me.
folk, he doesnt have a security clearance are you folking kidding me? He couldn't get one to be say an Army officer, they'd never give him one. But President? That beech Pelosi said ok, if it'll get the Rats in power.
Ping everyone! Prayers up for his family and friends. We've lost a treasure ...

He is truly an enemy of the United States. No one with half a functioning brain cell can deny it now.
Can anyone else confirm this?
Prayers *UP*.
As long as the public pays for cable and sat TV - they are in control. TV controls america. And every network owns every channel and they ALL support Obama.
According to many here at FR the MSM is on a deathwatch....
I for one agree with you.
Oh my God ... I met John in person at CPAC this year, after a couple of phone calls and many messages on FR over the years. He was indeed a great American.
God bless and Godspeed, John.
Thanks. People blast me and think I am a nut but TV has a hold on America. The 5 networks own almost all of the 200 or so cable channels. It is all pro-obama.
People think I am attacking mom and apple pie. I cancelled TV. I had to baby sit a few pets for a relative for two days. I picked up the clicker. It is like crack cocaine.
I turned it off after 30 minutes and never touched it again. I counted about 3 dumb white guy commercials in a row and that was it. I think every Fed Ex commercial is a dumb white guy ad. Odd cause Fred Smith of Fed Ex is a conservative. Ex-Vietnam pilot and business genius.
Obama appoints another far, far leftist to an important position. And I am not supposed to assume he's a socialist. Feh!
This is really, really one of the most "in your face" outrages yet. Jaw dropping.

Forbidden Paradise (1924)
Cast / Credits / Reviews (From the Turner Classic Movies Database)
Star Pola Negri and director Ernst Lubitsch, who created an international sensation
with the German super production DuBarry, Woman of Passion, were reunited
in the frothy
Hollywood comedy/drama Forbidden Paradise. Negri is cast as Catherine, the Czarina of
unnamed but very Russian-looking country. Rescued from revolutionaries by dashing Captain
Alexis Czerny (Rod LaRocque), Catherine "repays" the Captain in the boudoir.
Czerny falls madly in love with the Czarina, only to discover that he is the latest in a
long line of royal consorts. Angrily, he joins the rebellion, vowing to topple the
monarchy (but promising that Catherine will remain unharmed). When the revolution fails,
Czerny is sentenced to death, but Catherine rescinds the order and allows him a
happily-ever-after with his true love, lady-in-waiting Anna (Pauline Starke). Adolphe
Menjou, a favorite of Lubitsch's, has all the film's best scenes as a rakish chancellor.
Based on a play by Lajos Biro and Melchoir Lengyel, Forbidden Paradise was remade in
as A Royal Scandal, with Tallulah Bankhead as Catherine; the 1945 film was produced
Ernst Lubitsch, who fell ill during shooting and was forced to relinquish the directorial
responsibilities to Otto Preminger. -- Hal Erickson

Phenotyping Platforms
This objective will increase the capacity of the Delivering Genetic Gain in Wheat project to produce reliable phenotypic data for reaction to stem rust races and other biotic and abiotic stresses to facilitate the development of improved wheat germplasm. An integrated approach will combine biotic and abiotic stress tolerances to address key wheat production constraints in target countries. Phenotyping Platforms will be established (or expanded) to generate precision data for resistance to stem and yellow rust races in Kenya and Ethiopia, and Helminthosporium leaf blight (spot blotch, HLB) resistance, and tolerance to heat in South Asia. Testing sites at the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO) in Njoro, and the Ethiopian Institute of Agriculture Research (EIAR), in Debre Zeit, are already central to the DRRW project, and benefit the entire global wheat community. Holetta, Ethiopia will serve as the screening platform for Septoria resistance. HLB and heat phenotyping platforms will be established in Bangladesh and Nepal
Over 350,000 and 87,000 wheat accessions from 25 countries / institutions have been evaluated in Kenya and Ethiopia, respectively, since 2008. This massive screening effort has greatly facilitated the pre-breeding and breeding efforts of CIMMYT, ICARDA and NARS programs in developing and promoting wheat lines with resistance to rusts.
Seedling evaluation at KALRO in Kenya and Ambo in Ethiopia will facilitate gene characterization studies in breeding materials and identify new sources of resistance to incorporate in breeding programs and deploy as durably resistant varieties.
Functional greenhouses complemented by expert staff will enable race identification and characterization studies on stem and yellow rust at KALRO in Njoro, and EIAR in the Kulumsa and Ambo research centers. This will facilitate the identification of potential new races and accelerate pre-emptive breeding efforts to develop and deploy resistant varieties in target regions.
Heat stress (terminal and early) is a serious constraint for wheat production in South Asia where no high throughput phenotyping platform currently exists to produce the precise data required to develop markers for heat relvant QTLs. Heat tolerant lines and molecular markers identified in this program will boost efforts to breed climate resilient wheat for South Asia and will benefit other affected regions.
Spot blotch (HLB) is the most serious disease of wheat in the warm humid regions of South Asia. Breeding wheat for spot blotch resistance is hampered by the absence of a phenotyping platform for large-scale germplasm. The spot blotch tolerant lines obtained will be a major step in solving this problem for South Asia.
Activities within the phenotyping platforms will increase the capacity to produce reliable phenotypic data for stem and yellow rust, and Septoria. The data generated will be compiled and shared with collaborators, major stakeholders, and the international community and made available in an open access database.
Activities will include the use of improved greenhouses at KALRO (Njoro) and EIAR (Ambo, Kulumsa and Debre Zeit) for race characterization, seedling evaluation of breeding lines and gene postulation studies focusing on stem rust (Ambo), yellow rust (Kulumsa) and leaf rust (Debre Zeit). This activity complements field screening by testing for race specific genes and APR genes. The platforms will provide high quality phenotypic data useful in identifying new sources of resistance. Resistance will be characterized and confirmed in both bread wheat and durum wheat lines being considered for release in Kenya, Ethiopia, and at-risk countries. Survey and surveillance data will be used to identify new races, conduct preemptive breeding and inform decisions on varietal release.
In Ethiopia, activities will focus on resistance to three major biotic constraints of wheat: stem rust, yellow rust, and Septoria. The Holeta research center has been identified as a hot spot for evaluating wheat accessions against Septoria. Activities there will facilitate screening of wheat breeding lines/accessions resistant to Septoria and the use of those lines in breeding programs and release for use by farmers. The Kulumsa research station will evaluate breeding lines and accessions identified resistant to the combined disease complex of YR/SR/Septoria. These activities will ensure development and release of high yielding wheat germplasm combining resistance to the major biotic constraints in East Africa. The partial support for the phenotyping platform in Izmir, Turkey will complement the yellow rust resistance activities supported in Ethiopia.
Other activities will focus on training events, exchange visits to enhance the capacity of national programs, and special initiatives to provide opportunities for early career female researchers in wheat. These activities under the phenotyping platforms objective serve not only the global wheat community, but also have a direct benefit to East African and South Asian wheat growers, producers and consumers, especially in Kenya, Ethiopia, India, Nepal and Bangladesh.

Help me do a gap year to learn Japanese in Tokyo !
My Travel Story
My name is Magain Michael, I am a 17 years old student living in Belgium. I had plans to study business engineering at the renowned Solvay school of Brussels. I speak already 3 languages very well : French, Dutch and English. I wish to develop my linguistic skills by learning Japanese. I sense a great affinity with Japanese since a year now and it made me want to do a gap year there. I really love how Japanese sounds like, it is very charming ! With this tool I hope to have better job opportunities when I graduate at Solvay's school but I also hope to gain personal experience.
I'm Indobelgian (Indonesian and Belgian) so I have links with Asia in general and I have great interest in the japanese culture.
I want to know more about how people are in other countries to become more open minded and gain life experience. I've visited a lot of countries : China, Indonesia, Croatia, France, Spain, Peru, Taiwan, Germany and Senegal. So I'd like to add Japan to this list !
The only problem is that I come from a family with not so much money - even though we're not really poor. I wish to study on an intensive immersion program in Japan for approximatively 9 months. These programs are too expensive for me and my parents to cover the expenses so I'm asking you if you'd like to help me make my dream come true ! :)

The Museum of Extraordinary Things (Paperback)
March 2014 Indie Next List
"Hoffman's latest work of fiction is a tour de force of imagination which, at the same time, builds a world so real and present that the reader senses a tangible reality. The setting is New York and Brooklyn in 1911, where sideshow 'curiosities,' Russian emigre Jews, the emerging workers unions, and the lost, wild beauty of Manhattan's rivers and woods blend into a dream. Hoffman's research is precise, her vision unique, and her writing extraordinarily evocative. This is a beautiful and sensitive novel."
— Karen Pennington, Books Inc., San Francisco, CA

The arrival of Rachel Maddow in the Apple App Store several weeks ago signaled one giant leap for lesbiankind. Finally, official lesbian-made content on your iPhone. With it you can enjoy mind over chatter in the palm of your hand whenever you want. Oh, how I love it when the geeky and the gay intersect.
Of course, that got me to thinking about what other great lesbian-centric content we could have on our iPhones (that is, aside from those wallpapers of Portia de Rossi you downloaded last night — she wasn't the 2009 AfterEllen.com Hot 100 No. 1 for nothing). What would make "There's an app for that" really ring true for queer women?
Here are a few I think are just dying to be developed.
The "So You Think You Can Dance…Like Ellen" App
Challenge Ellen DeGeneres to a dance-off in this fast-paced, finger-flexing game. Earns points for dancing over the coffee table and deduct points for getting groped by Chris Matthews.
The "Put That Down" App
Resident lesbian financial guru Suze Orman is there to help her fellow gay women anytime the urge to splurge on a big-ticket item comes up. Guess you really didn't need that diamond-studded cat condo after all.
The "Look Very Shane Today" App
Let Shane McCutcheon be your style guide*. Scroll through pages and pages of different fashion choices to find the perfect androgynous outfit so you too can look very Shane today. *Haircuts not included: Please see "The Complete Guide to Lesbian Hair" app instead.
The "Wanda Sykes Insult Generator" App
Searching for that perfect put-down? Tired of waking up at 3 a.m. with the retort you should have used hours before? Let Wanda Sykes be your withering wingwoman. You'll never lose a bar argument again.
So, what other lesbian apps would you like to see — besides, of course, real working gaydar. Come on, developers, get on it.

It's not "Muskrat Love," but Grimm is staging a romance between two of its muzzled creatures.
On Monday's episode (10/9c, NBC), Wesen pals Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) will finally take their mutual admiration and gentle flirting to the next level for a romantic picnic. "Monroe finally asks her out on a date, and it's all very, very sweet," Turner tells TVGuide.com. "She feels a little shy about it and is a little overwhelmed with how amazing Monroe is and how romantic he is."
From Homeland to So You Think You Can Dance: Check out Bree Turner's Watchlist
Rosalee, who is a Fuchsbau or fox-like creature, has been an important addition to Nick's (David Giuntoli) crime-fighting team, providing Wesen drug knowledge, supplies and remedies from her apothecary shop. Despite her seemingly mild-mannered nature, Rosalee will reveal another aspect of her personality on the date. "Her wild side comes out," Turner says. "It's going to be a big surprise to the fans how Rosalee likes to get down."
Beyond just navigating interspecies-Wesen dating — Monroe is a Blutbad or Big Bad Wolf — the budding couple will also have to contend with their respective personal issues. "Because of her past, it's kind of scary for Rosalee to really open herself up and possibly have her heart broken again," Turner says. "You saw her ex-boyfriend came back last season. Clearly there was something very broken about that relationship. You see that with Angelina and Monroe also. We both have had these relationships that have really destroyed us, and here we are trying to do things differently with someone else."
Unfortunately, when you're friends with a cop who is also a Grimm, events sometimes interfere with romance. "The date is definitely not going to go down the way they think it is," Turner says. "Some very scary sh-- starts to happen. Fans are going to be hit by a Mack Truck of unexpected revelations in this episode. There's some major Wesen business, but also forces beyond anyone's knowledge or expertise are being pried into. Everyone gets involved: Hank, Nick, Monroe, Wu.
"There is a very scary person, the porcupine man, in the episode who is all special effects," she continues. "It's one of the most impressive creatures I've seen on the show. It's just so gross, his transformation. He's the catalyst of a lot of the problems that happen in that episode. Things are very connected."
From Castle to Grimm: A user's guide to TV procedurals
Playing a fellow Wesen (albeit a less scary one), Turner also has to deal with computer-generated special effects when Rosalee transforms into her Fuchsbau alter ego. "I love my morph; it's so cute and it's not creepy," she says. "First, we do the whole scene just as ourselves, being told, 'More head shaking. Less head shaking.' And then we do the whole thing with tiny dots on our face. And then they do the whole scene with this silver ball in the space where my head [should be]. It's unbelievable how they do this stuff."
And although Turner doesn't seem to mind the morphing process, she has more difficulties with another signature aspect of the series: the faux Germanic language used to describe the Wesen. "It's a total headache," she says. "We have a dialect coach, but really, the final say in my opinion is Silas Weir Mitchell. He's an encyclopedia of odd information... Silas told me that they went to an event last year, and someone from the audience thought that I spoke fluent German. I've succeeded now with the show if someone really thinks I know what I'm saying."
Turner was only a recurring guest star during Grimm's first season, but became a series regular for its sophomore outing. "Fans could have rejected the idea of Monroe involving himself or having another player in the game," she says. "But a lot of people love the developing relationship between Monroe and Rosalee — or MonRosalee as I've coined it. But they're also responding to Rosalee and her intellect, energy and background."
Not only have the fans warmed up to her, but Turner has been embraced by the cast as well. In particular, she and Mitchell have an off-screen friendship ... and competitive rivalry. "He is Monroe. He's that intelligent, that funny, that sweet and charming, and so it's really no work working with him," she says. "He's also a very good artist, but right now, I'm currently beating him at Draw Something on my iPhone."
Check out this sneak peek of the Mon-romance from Monday's episode, "Quills," airing at 10/9c on NBC. Fans can also join Turner as she live-tweets the episode for the East Coast airing.

Are you into online dating? If so you'll be pleased to hear that there is currently a third party Tinder application in the BlackBerry Beta Zone called Dater.
Now I must admit I've not used Tinder before and don't really know too much about it, although I have heard friends mention it who use an iPhone or Android device.
According to the developer of Dater the application is still in its very early stages and at the moment just allows you to check out the user interface - which looks real hot. In addition, the UI isn't optimized for the Q devices, although it looked just fine and dandy on my Q10.
If this looks like your sort of app download it for your BlackBerry 10 device and provide the dev with feedback.
This one looks very promising to me.

Keywords: solid-state lighting, nanofiber, quantum dot, luminous efficacy
Nanofibers and nanocomposites made from nanofibers are emerging as a key enabler for the next generation of lighting technologies. The emergence of these materials in lighting applications is driven by the fact that nanofiber substrates possess unique optical properties. For example, the reflectance and transmittance of nanofiber materials that can be tailored by manipulating several parameters including the nanoscale structure of the material and substrate thickness [1]. A nanocomposite formed by combining luminescent particles (e.g., quantum dots) and nanofibers serves as a high performance material with exceptional properties for lighting applications. Through judicious choice of fabrication parameters, this nanocomposite (hereafter termed photoluminescent nanofiber (PLN)) has been used to fabricate luminaire prototypes with luminous efficacies in excess of 50 lumens/watt [2]. This paper focuses on the methods and procedures used to fabricate PLN nanocomposites with an optimal blend properties for lighting applications including correlated color temperature (CCT), color rendering index (CRI), and luminous efficacy.

In the UK, we're often very shy about going to the doctor. That means that many of us will use any excuse to postpone an unwanted check-up or annual physical. If you find yourself saying: "The phone was busy," or "I forgot to call and now it's the weekend," or "They told me to call back next week," then you should join thousands of other patients and embrace the latest advances in health-focused technology to get yourself back on track!
Here are a number of health companies that will help you reduce the friction of finding an appointment:
1. Doctify (www.doctify.co.uk):
Created by two NHS surgeons, Doctify lets you search, compare and book doctors, dentists and health specialists at a time that suits you. The company's founders say that they are "creating the healthcare experience you want" and are leading the way in developing innovative ways for patients to search and access healthcare. You can search for specific conditions or procedures (e.g., psoriasis, knee ligament repair) and you will be matched with a list of doctors who have indicated that they are specialised in that particular field.
With Doctify's growing network of members, anyone in London can find an appointment within walking distance their home or place of work. This makes getting to see the doctor faster and easier and crucially reduces the barriers that may lead to postponing an important check. Doctify wants to help ensure that everyone gets to see the doctor they need, at the best time!
2. Doctor Care Anywhere (www.doctorcareanywhere.com):
Doctor Care Anywhere allows patients to access GPs online and in person. The service is available to anyone in the UK and appointments can be made anytime between 8am and 10pm, seven days a week. You no longer need to travel to a GP, wait for an appointment or worry about queues in the waiting room. Download the app and start open a video link with the GP at a time that suits you.
3. Chemist Direct (chemistdirect.co.uk):
Health technology can even help you get your prescriptions faster. Chemist Direct is one of the most established and trusted online pharmacies in the UK. Following a consultation with a number of online GP companies (including DoctorCareAnywhere) you can easily order your prescriptions from sites like Chemist Direct. The medications can often be available within 4 hours and delivered to an address of your choosing.
With our busy schedules, we often find excuses to postpone going to a doctor. Health tech companies like Doctify, DoctorCareAnywhere and Chemist Direct mean that the barriers to patients have been greatly reduced making it easier than ever to stay healthy.

Nearly four years after their soldier son was captured by Iraqi insurgents, his Ohio parents learned yesterday that he is dead.
Nearly four years after their soldier son was captured by Iraqi insurgents, his Ohio parents learned yesterday that he is dead.
Matthew Maupin, a 20-year-old University of Cincinnati student and Sam's Club employee, had been in Iraq just six weeks when his fuel convoy was ambushed on April 9, 2004. Members of the Army Reserve's 724th Transportation Company were attacked near Baghdad, and Maupin was captured.
A week later, Arab television network Al-Jazeera showed a video of Maupin sitting on the floor surrounded by five masked men holding automatic rifles.
A later Al-Jazeera video, deemed of poor quality, showed insurgents assembling a firing squad to kill an American prisoner. But Army officials said the tape didn't clearly identify the prisoner.
Since then, Keith and Carolyn Maupin of Batavia have rallied in support of the troops and kept their hopes alive.
An Army general told the two on Friday that troops had recovered a body in Iraq. DNA tests confirmed yesterday that the body was their son's.
Army officials said last night they would release information today. They told the Maupins, who are divorced, that an investigation continues.
"Matt is coming home. He has completed his mission," his parents said in a statement. "After years of prayer and hope, we learned today that Matt died while in captivity.
"As parents, we are deeply saddened and still letting it sink in," they said. "As Americans, we are proud of the continued efforts made by our military, and in particular the Army, to return Matt home to us."
More than 100 people familiar with the Maupin family's plight turned up last night at the Yellow Ribbon Support Center east of Cincinnati for an impromptu candlelight vigil, family friend June Izzi-Bailey said.
"Everybody came to see them," Izzi-Bailey said. "They're holding up as well as they can, considering that they were really expecting him to come home."
The Maupins created the support center, a nonprofit group dedicated to improving troop morale. Within two years of their son's capture, the Maupins and the center had mailed nearly 30,000 care packages to soldiers; they included pictures of their son and the request that they keep on the lookout for him.
The Maupins met several times with President Bush when he was in nearby Cincinnati, and with Army officials in Washington to inquire about efforts to find their son.
For more than two years after his capture, Maupin was the only soldier listed as missing-captured in Iraq. That distinction and his parents' support-center activities attracted wide attention to Maupin's case.
A fundraiser last year drew more than 1,000 people to a banquet, about 700 bikers participated in a motorcycle ride to raise awareness, and a children's baseball tournament drew more entries than organizers could handle. All the events were to raise money for the Matt Maupin Scholarship Fund for Cincinnati-area high-schoolers.
Every parking meter in Batavia sports a yellow ribbon in Maupin's honor.
Keith Maupin has traveled to rallies and military bases around the country to keep attention on his son. He attended a celebration for returning soldiers in Delaware, Ohio, last spring.
The Maupins said through a spokeswoman that they will participate in today's Cincinnati Reds Opening Day Parade as scheduled and go forward with plans for an April 9 fundraiser.
Condolences e-mailed last night to mattmaupin.us, a Web site his parents created, had come in from Canada, Arizona, Illinois, Washington, Florida, North Carolina, California, Texas, Kentucky, Indiana and Connecticut, among other places.
Information from the Associated Press was included in this story.

These vehicle paper models are Subcompact Cars, created by Inkjet Paper Scissors. There are white, grey, red, orange and green five colors. A subcompact car is an American definition to indicate an automobile with a class size smaller than that of a compact car, usually not exceeding 165 inches (4,191 mm) in length, but larger than a microcar. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a passenger car is classified as subcompact if it has between 85 cubic feet (2,407 L) and 99 cu ft (2,803 L) of interior volume.
The subcompact segment equates roughly to A-segment and B-segment in Europe, or city car and supermini in British acceptation. In 2012, the New York Times described the differences, saying "today's small cars actually span three main segments in the global vehicle market. The tiny A-segment cars include the Chevrolet Spark and Smart Fortwo. They're extremely short and very light. Slightly larger are B-segment cars like the Ford Fiesta and Chevrolet Sonic.

In my search to improve my student's writing I have reviewed many pieces of literature, speeches and even toasts. I found the best ones to be those where the reader or listener learned something important about the author's life, experiences and beliefs. These pieces of literature all encompassed a form of reflection. Reflecting is the key to creating voice in an essay. Some children have a hard time reflecting therefore, their essays lack personality. Between homework, chores and playing they hardly have the time to share their feelings about their daily lives. I encourage my students to reflect every time they write, so that they may share their point of view.
I believe that people can be nicer to other people.

I believe that you should always let your feelings and secrets out to someone.
I believe the first word you spoke was your favorite one. I believe that you love more your mom than your dad.
I believe in riding my first city bus. I believe that my father is the harder and painter worker than all other painters I have ever seen.
I believe that wearing new clothes makes you feel new. I believe that you can see the same things that I see. I believe that some people are good and bad. I believe that my mother likes my little brother more than me. I believe that if you spend a lot of time with someone you like them.

At the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, there was a young lady who captured a lot of attention, not because she won a gold medal — she didn't — but because she followed her own Internal Guidance System and followed a unique warm up routine.
One of the best things parents can do for their children, whether they aspire to be Olympic athletes or not, is to teach them to trust, their Internal Guidance Systems.
This will let them be true to themselves and withstand the pressure to conform, whether that pressure comes from their peers or the general public.
Twenty-one-year-old American Luger, Kate Hansen, in her first Olympic games, does just that.
She disregards advice from outsiders, including coaches and commentators and follows a warm-up routine that she knows works best for her—dancing to the music of Beyoncé.
Rather than trying to be like other athletes, Kate is listening to her Internal Guidance System which knows what is best for her body and her success. In return, she has reached much greater fame than she would otherwise in her first Olympic games. She even has gotten a shout out from her favorite musician, Beyoncé, in the process.
Perhaps Kate will continue on the luge track, sliding into even greater athletic success in the future. She seems to have what it takes in this sport where experience and age are valued.
On the other hand, her dancing has created a stir, and perhaps she will move into a different path. Who knows where this could go? Dancing luger? Luging dancer? Something entirely different? Whatever choice she makes, as long as she continues to listen to her inner wisdom, she will have the best opportunity for success and happiness.
Some coaches and commentators believe that she is expending too much energy dancing. Others feel she should be focusing on her race. Kate knows that dancing warms up her entire body and gets her energy level where it needs to be for her success.
Athletes do need to warm up their muscles, which can certainly be done in a variety of more traditional methods. The fact that Kate recognizes the need to get her vibration up and that dancing is the best way for her to achieve that, is what sets her apart.
There will be other athletes who will try to emulate Kate's success by dancing as a warm-up. While this will get their muscles warmed up and loose, it may not be the best way to get their vibrational level up.
To truly follow Kate's example, rather than coaching and mentoring our children to dance, we should teach them to listen to their own inner voice. By listening to our own Internal Guidance System, we can discover the best way for us to reach the desired vibration. For some it may be dancing, whether we're busting a move to Beyoncé or bopping to the Beach Boys.
For others, it may be achieved by quiet meditation. Still others will find it by looking at a beautiful scene or hugging the family pet. Once your children find what gives them the energy level they are looking for, encourage them to use that—and to forget what anyone else has to say about it.

Hello guys, it my first time with FMOD so i tried to do a simple thing (emitting a sound that my sound engineer gave me as a bank) but it doesn't work.
What I've done so far:
1. Imported FMOD and banks correctly (I can see FMOD inside my project and if I click on Event Browser I can see the list of my sounds created in FMOD Studio and I can hear them if I press play).
2. Inside my main camera I've attached FMOD Audio Listener.
3. I created a gameobject named Planes with Studio Event Emitter Script attached. In the event variable inside the script I selected a bank called Planes_LOOP using the search button and I tried to select, inside the Start variable, Object start and Object Enabled, but when I start the game, the sound is not working.
Do you know what i'm doing wrong?
Thank you in advance

2D or 3D sound?
If 3D sound it could be that your listener position is not near enough to the emitter.
You can use Override Attenuation in the FMOD Emitter Component in Unity to increase the radius for the sound.
- Jan Schaumlöffel answered 1 year ago
thank you for the override attenuation! You were right, even if the audio listener was really close, it wasn't SO close! thank you again!
- You must login to post comments
It looks as though you may be setting the stop event of the emitter.
Make sure only the Play Event is set to Object Start or Enabled.

State Og
State Og is an exciting venture capital opportunity for mini golf enthusiasts. Come by for a free round of golf, all we ask in return is that you sit alone in the ball storage room for seven hours. Special thanks this week go to: Dennis "Corin Tucker's Stalker" Farrell, Matt "Coco13" Rock, and Elijah "Like The Wood" Bagdonas.
After recently getting a chance to use Apple's operating system OSX for the first time, our R&D department found plenty to like. Elegant, unobtrusive, versatile, it was a thing of beauty. It led them to wonder, though, could they make a thing that was beautier?
The answer, my friends, is yes. Taking the best parts of OSX and supercharging them, our boys have put together the most powerful operating system unleashed upon mankind: OGX.
Whereas Apple's approach was to be unobtrusive but usable, we went for "where the fuck is it?". Chances are you'll never see OGX in action. It's that good. Versatility? How about the fact that you don't even need a computer to run the operating system. Once purchased, the software in the box will turn into vapors (we coined the term "vaporware" since it redefines software as we know it) and travel into your sinus cavities before ultimately settling in your brain.
Just imagine: you're laying there thinking "I want ice cream", and before you know it you're projecting a mental image of ice cream right there in your head! Now that's power! Depending on whether your motivation levels are high enough, you might even get up and eat ice cream. IN REAL LIFE.
We haven't even touched on OGX's robust energy dispersement system, which regulates your body's temperature and makes it sweat or put on a blanket depending on its findings.
Old People Are Inherently A Safe Business Venture
Hey there you youngsters, it's your old Uncle Ernester. I've been complaining for almost 22 years to bring you whippersnappers some good ol' fashioned nursing house gum! Oh, you kids with your chocolate, and hard suck candies, and gums. Well, I'm here with the rest of the One Foot In residential community to bring you some real gum. Flavors like applesauce, medicine, and puddin'. Who doesn't love a good puddin? Why, I'll tell you who. Eddie Jones, across the hall in room 26B. Often times I'll see him just looking at where his puddin' is for hours on end. Not movin' a muscle or nothin! Must be sleepin with his eyes open, been like that for the last four, five weeks now I'd say.
He don't like puddin', but there's always sarsaparilla-flavored gum. That takes me back to a time when cowboys roamed the earth riding antelope for the sadistic pleasure of J.P. Morgan. I tell you, what a businessman that Morgan. He could knit like nobody's business, your grandmother.
So you get yourself some old people gum. Who doesn't want to feel the sweet embrace of death?
Didn't Do It
Does your child suffer from Enuresis? Recent studies have shown that chronic bedwetting has been on the rise by children between the ages of 4 and 23. The scientists and janitors from State Og's own medical and biological warfare research facilities have the solution for you, so no longer does your child need to suffer the ridicule and embarrassment of nocturnal urination. The new I-didn't-do-it automated bedwetting system with fresh urine scent will keep your child's confidence and self-esteem at a new high. This fantastic new system works by slowly releasing a urine-like liquid through special porous mattresses while your child sleeps. Your child will wake to the soothing warmth and familiar smell of fresh urine on the mattress each morning with a smile, knowing full well the mattress is to blame. See for yourself how the new I-didn't-do-it automated bedwetting system with fresh urine scent can change your child's life. Your satisfaction is guaranteed.- State Og Representative
If you're feeling overwhelmed by dire climate change news, try taking action personally! You can make a difference in the world!
Urine? Or perhaps an abundance of crotch sweat? Either way, it's a good thing you're in a karate class. This is the ideal place to covertly get some airflow down there, speeding up the evaporation process by as much as 4%.
Nancy and the Banker are back!
Phridays return with a hot summer jam (from 1972)!

State Og... what is it? Who knows! Where do they operate? No clue! All we know is they're fairly evil, and nobody dares question the might of State Og!
