What Is Microsoft Dynamics 365 And What Is Not Included?
Microsoft Dynamics 365 is a great collection of intelligent business applications. It results in some misunderstanding for many, who end up considering this AI-powered tool something else. So, in this post, we have tried drawing a line between what is Microsoft Dynamics 365 and what is not included in it.
Generally, it looks like everything is included in this package and customers get confused about which license is best for them. So first, let's see which tools are NOT the parts of Dynamics 365:
Office 365
Microsoft 365 for business
Dynamics GP,AX,SL, Navision
Microsoft Dynamics Finance and Operation business edition – after April 2018
Microsoft Dynamics Finance and Operation Enterprise edition – after April 2018
As you knew the exclusions, here are the two main packages of Dynamics 365:
Enterprise Resource Planning – ERP
Dynamics 365 business central – (Navision based but not Navision)
Dynamics 365 Finance and Operation – (Based on AX)
Customer Relationship management – CRM
Dynamics 365 Sales enterprise and Sale professional
Dynamics 365 Customer Service
Dynamics 365 Field Service
Dynamics 365 Product Service Automation
Dynamics 365 Marketing
These two are the separate packages and you can choose any of these, or both, as per your requirement. Now, I am going to describe what is included in which section of these both packages –
D365 Business Central has core features related to project management, finance, operations, Supply chain management and Customer Relationship Management.
It's mainly targets small organizations, so it allows single user.
Price ranges from $70-$120.
It has inbuilt CRM capabilities.
You can integrate it with Outlook, Dynamics 365 sales and more CRM features.
It is efficient at opportunity management and operating related to customer servicing.
Dynamics 365 Finance and Operation has advanced features of finance and operations.
It's mainly targeted big organizations and their needs. So, minimum user limit is 20.
Price range between $120 and $180.
It does not have CRM capabilities. You will have to take Dynamics 365 app for CRM and marketing features.
It includes core sale functionality for simpler sales needs.
It has following limitations –
2 form per entity
15 custom entities.
Guide business process flow – 5 Business process flows.
Custom workflow – limited to 15 custom workflows.
Report customization – 5 reports.
It's very less usable in terms of usability.
It has a minimum user limit.
It does not include Customer portal deployment.
It includes fully sales capability to meet complex sales requirement.
NO limitations on customization and form or workflow.
It is for big organizations, especially enterprises.
It includes extras from Sales Professional are Hierarchies, Sales Goals, Territory Management, Relationships, Voice of the Customer surveys, Microsoft Social Engagement, Mobile Offline Sync, Gamification, Sales embedded insights (formerly Relationship Insights).
Customer portal deployment is included in it.
It includes advanced level customer services like case management.
Case creation, status taking, auto assign to support persons.
Customer portal.
Schedule board, work orders, mobile app, and resource management.
Real-time field tracking.
Resource management.
This facility lets you do e-mail marketing, landing page marketing, customer journey & event management alongside lead scoring. (subject to 10 user licenses)
The above parts were more focused on the features of each tool, package, separate pricing, and apps. When it comes to licensing, the packages are designed in some different ways and can be customized as per one's business needs.

Kalimi Mworia, former Kenyan ambassador to the Netherlands and Czech Republic who was appointed to sit on the Meru Municipality Board has cried foul after she was rejected by the assembly.
The Economic, Land and Physical Planning Committee rejected her, saying she had not presented the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, Higher Education Loans Board and Directorate of Criminal Investigation clearance forms.
But Mrs Mworia has come out to protest her rejection, saying she had forwarded the clearance forms to an official at the county government to deliver to the committee, as she had an urgent appointment with a doctor in India.
Mworia who was the first candidate to be vetted on August 6, before she left for India on August 7.
"I had scanned and emailed the EACC, KRA, Helb and DCI clearances and emailed to the county government. I had all the needed documents and undertook to bring the originals to vouch for their authenticity once I came back to Kenya," said Mworia.
Committee chairman Kithinji Ringera and nominated MCA Karimi Njeru said they would consider her again if she is "re-appointed" by Governor Kiraitu Murungi.
Mworia, who was part of a team that included Jimnah Mbaru that helped restructure the Nairobi City Hall between 2000 and 2001, said she was willing to serve in the board.
She holds a degree of Education Sciences from Makerere University, Kampala, and a Master of Arts in Education Psychology and Counselling from Columbia University, New York.
But nominated MCA Karimi Njeru on Monday said she still opposes the list as it did not include a representative of the ethnic minority.
Ms Njeru said about 30 per cent of residents were composed of ethnic minority of the Municipality and include Nubians, Kikuyus and others.
"The ethnic minority in Meru municipality play a crucial role in the social-economic development of the area and should be represented in the board. There is also the issue of exclusion of those living with disabilities and the gender representation," said Njeru.

Undeliverable Green Cards Will Be Destroyed Under New Policy/
The USCIS just announced, starting April 2, it will destroy Permanent Resident Cards, Employment Authorization Cards and Travel Documents returned as undeliverable by the post office if 60 days elapse and the card is unclaimed. Anyone with a missing document must contact the USCIS to report their correct address promptly or risk document destruction. The need to replace a document could pose many months of delay and, in the case of an EAD, loss of employment authorization.
All applicants must report a change of address within 10 days of relocation using the procedures outlined at uscis.gov/addresschange.

"the company said in response to the Royal Society that it funded groups which research "significant policy issues and promote informed discussion on issues of direct relevance to the company." It said the groups do not speak for the company.
Notice how ExxonMobil immediately takes the conversation to a selfish perspective; doesn't global warming, a "significant policy issue," effect everyone who lives on the planet earth, and not just "the company?" I'm glad that they believe they're funding a "discussion" around the issue but what they forget is that there is no discussion to be had. The majority of the world's leading individual climatologists and scientists, organizations and government agencies support and defend the fact that human induced levels of CO2 in the atmosphere are causing climage change. What ExxonMobil wishes to do is to bring the issue out of certainty and into uncertainty cloaked in the idea that a community "discussion" (backed by corporate contributions) will give us a better or more honest answer.
Someday, these corporations will have the gaul to take responsibility for their impacts on our world and instead of shying away from leadership, embrace it, and tackle the problem.

Austrian Economics and the Political Economy of Freedom
Richard M. Ebeling
Chapter 1: How Economics Became the Dismal Science: The Classical Economists and 20th Century Economics
Richard M. Ebeling
CHAPTER 1 9/4/03 1:14 PM Page 1 1. How economics became the dismal science: the classical economists and 20th-century economics THE 19th-CENTURY CRITICS OF CLASSICAL ECONOMICS Economics was first called 'the dismal science' by the 19th-century English essayist and man of letters, Thomas Carlyle. He wanted to capture in a phrase all that he thought was wrong with the ideas of the economists of his own time. Carlyle focused all his literary venom on the proponents of the free market. He first used the phrase in an 1849 essay where he referred to economics as 'the Social Science … which finds the secret of this Universe in "supply and demand", and reduces the duty of human governors to that of letting men alone … Not a "gay science," I should say, like some we have heard of; no, a dreary, desolate, and indeed quite abject and distressing one; what we might call by way of eminence, the dismal science'. In Carlyle's mind, 19th-century economics was a 'self-cancelling Donothingism'. He deplored 'all this Mammon-Gospel of supply and demand, Competition, Laissez-faire, and Devil-take-the-hindmost, [which] begins to be one of the shabbiest Gospels ever preached, or altogether the shabbiest'.1 Carlyle much preferred the world before the classical liberal era in which he was living, an older time of class distinction and political paternalism in which everyone in the society knew his place and everyone was secure in his station in life. The newer world of free enterprise industrialism and free market competition disturbed him....

Capturing Fireworks | Creative Shoot
Capturing Fireworks
Snoqualmie, Wa
"... And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there..."
Happy 4th !!
Hope everyone had a relaxing and fulfilled 4th! One thing I love about the 4th of July, is being able to capture the fireworks. It is such a creative break away from all the barbecuing and festivities. Easy to get lost in the booms + colors, making you wonder just how intense it must have been back when our nations anthem was being created.
So, I thought I would write a quick journal entry for anyone who might be interested in how I capture these images!
Camera Settings
Manual Focus | this keeps the auto focus from trying to search for a focal point on each shot -- set it to near infinity
Aperture : F16 | this allows more of the sky to be in focus because fireworks won't be going off in exactly the same spot every time, and I want them all in focus
ISO : 200 | given I lowered the shutter speed to be able to capture the fireworks, a low ISO provides less grain on your images and balances more light to enter the lens -- depending on the lighting situation, I may drop this down to 100 if there are more fireworks being set off in the same spot.
Shutter Speed : 2" seconds | this allows as much light as possible to enter the lens -- and again, depending on the light, I may adjust this.
These settings are just a base point for where I capture fireworks. Depending on your location, other light sources (such as city buildings), and how spread out the fireworks are -- you may need to adjust your settings accordingly.
35 mm lens | my city puts on a fireworks show in the community park, so we can get a close view!
Tripod | keeps a steady hand for the long exposure
Remote Shutter Release | helps with camera shake when pressing the shutter release, plus lets you watch outside of the viewfinder and click as needed.
Now these last two items are not necessarliy needed, depending how you want your final images to look. I found my tripod to be too limiting, as I like to use a shutter drag technique to make trails with the fireworks. The second image (above) was taken with a tripod, but the remainder of the images were handheld.
What is Shutter Drag ?
Shutter Dragging is a way to create motion blur in your images. When I shot film long ago, it would be similar to "panning" with your moving subject. Basically, as you press the shutter button, you move your camera along with the direction of your subject. This keeps your subject in focus while everything else becomes blurred. Depending how open you keep the shutter + how fast the subject is moving, the more motion blur you can get.
Get Creative
Being a light seeker, this makes me geek out a bit... seeing how the light, and lack of, can be manipulated. Insert spastic jumping celebration. I can't help it. lol
You can't learn unless you start doing, so get out there and try something new! The end result can be quite beautiful!
Happy INDEPENDENCE day !

Expand | Collapse
From the San Francisco Department of Environment
VANCOUVER, BC - Westport Innovations Inc. (TSX:WPT) yesterday
announced a new agreement and expanded commitment from the City
of San Francisco and Norcal Waste Systems Inc., the city's refuse
collection, recycling and transfer company, to demonstrate and
deploy Westport's most advanced natural gas technology for heavy-duty
trucks through to 2011.
Goals of the program include improving combustion and reducing
greenhouse gas emissions.
As part of its commitment, SF Recycling & Disposal, a Norcal
subsidiary, will upgrade three of its 13 heavy-duty transfer trucks
currently operating on Westport's first-generation High Pressure
Direct Injection (HPDI) technology. The new trucks will incorporate
several major improvements over those first-generation vehicles,
including enhanced vehicle performance, lower emissions, higher
fuel economy, and reliability.
New features include Westport's proprietary low heat-leak LNG
tanks with integrated LNG pumps, and higher pressure improved
common-rail injection system for better combustion and emissions
at all operating conditions.
Since they were first put into service in 2001, the transfer
trucks, fuelled by liquefied natural gas (LNG), have logged almost
five million miles (eight million kilometers) and reduced fleet
emissions by approximately 30 tons. Over the course of the new
LNG powered truck program, it is estimated the trucks will save
a total of approximately 70 tons of emissions.
"San Francisco is recognized as a leader in the development
and deployment of alternative fuel vehicles both within our own
city fleet and among private fleets like Norcal," said Jared
Blumenfeld, the City's Director, Department of the Environment.
"The advancement of natural gas technologies such as Westport's
HPDI among heavy-duty trucks is good for local air quality, reduces
greenhouse gases, and lessens our dependence on imported oil.
The city is proud to be a part of an initiative that impacts all
three of these critical local, national, and global objectives."
Bennie Anselmo, Norcal's Fleet Manager, said he is happy with
the operation of the Westport natural gas trucks to date and looking
forward to having even cleaner, better performing trucks on the
road by the end of the year.
"Our drivers appreciate the clean-burning characteristics,
the quiet ride, and, above all, the performance that these trucks
have been able to show under extremely demanding operating conditions,"
said Anselmo.
The truck upgrades will feature new 400-horsepower Cummins ISX
engines equipped with Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and Westport's
second-generation HPDI fuel system fuelled by LNG. The three trucks
will be certified at the California Air Resources Board 2007 emissions
levels for NOx and PM, and are supported by a previously announced
award from the US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy
Laboratory (NREL).
"These heavy-duty trucks are the first Westport second-generation
trucks to be adopted in the US, and will be among the cleanest
ever deployed in North America. We are delighted to have both
the City's and Norcal's confidence and support, as well as that
of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, for our technology
development program," said Westport President Michael Gallagher.
"Their ongoing leadership is showing the way for other jurisdictions
to find natural gas-based solutions for the nation's energy and
environmental security challenges."
The Westport-equipped transfer trucks operating at Norcal make
up to six 120-mile round trips per day from the company's transfer
station on the outskirts of San Francisco to the Altamont landfill
site. Each truck operates at a gross vehicle weight of 80,000
Collectively, Norcal subsidiaries operate a fleet of approximately
1,100 vehicles. The companies provide solid waste management and
recycling for more than 400,000 residential and 50,000 commercial
customers in San Francisco and more than 50 other communities
in California.
Westport Innovations Inc. is the leading developer of environmental
technologies that allow engines to operate on clean-burning fuels
such as natural gas, hydrogen, and hydrogen-enriched natural gas
(HCNG). Westport has technology development alliances in place
with Ford, MAN, BMW, and Isuzu, as well as an ownership interest
in Clean Energy, the largest provider of natural gas for vehicles
in North America.
Westport's joint venture with Cummins Inc., manufactures and
sells the world's widest range of low-emissions alternative fuel
engines for commercial transportation applications such as trucks
and buses.

Before she became known as Gerphil Flores, she was Fame Flores and auditioned for Pinoy's Got Talent. Unfortunately, she did not reach the grand finals round as she was eliminated by singing a classical song, which Kris Aquino, one of the judges in that reality TV show deemed not age appropriate. Of course, at that time her opinion was respected, nobody took notice and Filipinos moved on to the next edition of this supposed ultimate talent show in the country.
|from starmometer.com
The grand finals performance for this regional talent show was last week and Gerphil Flores along with three other Filipino acts were in the running for the crown. This time, the spotlight is no longer claimed solo by Kris Aquino but Flores gained sympathizers. Suddenly, the tables are turned and Kris Aquino became the ultimate bully instead of being a well rounded judge. Filipino netizens took turn on lambasting the presidential sister that she has no right to sit as judge in the Philippine version of the same talent show where Flores is a grand finalist at the more widely covered Asian version.
|PGT 2010 judges from coolbuster.net
Indeed, these Pinoy netizens are correct when they are questioning right now what right does Kris Aquino had in order to decide that one talent is good over the other. In the first place, she doesn't have good singing voice, she is just a competent actress, and she is just a good TV host due to lack of competition or recognition for others better than hers. In other words, compared with other judges around the world, she should not sit as one of the judges. If you are familiar with different editions of this talent show around the world, those who sat as judges were record producers, singers, performers, actors, and even actresses.
By virtue of this category, Kris Aquino may have a rightful position to sit as a judge but the real question is that if she has the right taste, instinct, and quality decision making to determine which contestant really got talent. So far, winners of the Philippine version of this talent show has yet to make a mark in Philippine showbiz the way Nora Aunor did or just the way Sarah Geronimo or Regine Velasquez did after winning the respective talent shows they entered. With this, it is just right for Pinoys to evaluate if Kris Aquino deserves to sit as judge as it is the TV viewers who are the ultimate judge because they are the ones who will patronize records, movies, and other multi-media output of the winners.
Note: It is normal for humans to err in their decision. Kris Aquino erred in her judgement so were the Tawag ng Tanghalan judges who eliminated Nora Aunor on her first attempt in that amateur singing contest of long ago.

Highfield Country Park is a 70-acre (280,000 m2) area of open land, situated on the east side of Levenshulme, Manchester, that stretches to the east of Broom Avenue across to the rear of Reddish Golf Course and to the junction of Longford Road, Reddish and Nelstrop Road, Levenshulme.
Prior to 2004, the park was jointly maintained by Manchester City Council and a group of volunteers called The Friends of Highfield Park. In July 2004 the park came to the attention of the Prudential Grass Roots campaign (run by the BTCV conservation charity). Over a 12-month period the park was transformed from a dreary, vandalised wasteland into a country park with a picnic area and mapped out country walks.
In 2008 Highfield Country Park was designated a Local Nature Reserve, providing a protected habitat for many animal and plant species.
Our current Chair is Alex - email@example.com
Our current secretary is Jane - email@example.com
The land was used to extract clay for the manufacture of bricks for the building industry. The clay pit and brickworks existed at the start of the 20th century, and by the 1950s was being operated by the Jackson Brick Company.
In the 1970s, it was designated as a country park by the council, but at the time it was little more than a landfill site and sometime site of the UCP tripe factory, Levenshulme Dye and Bleach works, High Field Farm, and Jackson's brickworks. The latter's clay pit was much used by local children as a play area known as "The Brickie".
The main road between Manchester and Stockport used to travel right next to the park, down Nelstrop Road. This road is hundreds of years old now.
Until recently, people used to live on the site of Highfield Country Park. However, the house on Nelstrop Road eventually was left abandoned, and was damaged by vandals that meant it had to be torn down for safety reasons.
In 2017, plans for redeveloping an area of Highfield Country Park were passed by Manchester Council. Friends of Highfield Country Park objected to this decision but were overruled.

What was it like attending an ASDA conference for the first time? Well, it was AWESOME! In fact, "awesome" is exactly how ASDA Annual Session started out…
The keynote speaker, Neil Pasricha, spoke on finding all of the awesome things in life, no matter how small or big they may be. Neil's presentation took me from the world of working to create the perfect crown preparation and obtaining good grades to truly being happy in life by not taking for granted all of the small "awesomes" in life. His presentation was the perfect start to catching the legendary "ASDA fever," and boy oh boy, let me tell you - I caught it!
As a second year student, I had certainly heard of ASDA fever, but I did not know what it meant until I was able to attend Annual Session. ASDA fever takes you from being a normal dental student, doing normal dental student things, to a whole new level. A level of wanting more: wanting to do more, see more, give more, learn more, BE MORE!
I arrived at Annual Session having no idea what to expect. What did I get? A fast-moving whirlwind of watching and learning, seeing and teaching, moving and doing. Early mornings, full days, great people, and fun nights are the backbone of Annual Session. Though it is SO much more. When you have over 700 amazing and motivated people in one place, there is an electricity in the air. Electricity that propels you to get everything out of those 3 days as possible. In fact, as I type 3 days, I am in awe…there was so much packed into Annual Session that it felt like much more than 3 days!
Those 3 days of Annual Session were absolutely exhausting. However, I barely noticed this because of the excitement that was always on the horizon. Attending ASDA Annual Session woke me from a slumber you could say. I was worn out, bogged down, and just plain tired from the demanding life of a 2nd year dental student. After Annual Session, I left renewed, energized, and excited. I want to continue to do all that I had done before (ASDA, school itself, other student organizations), but with added vigor. I want to get more involved with ASDA, not only within my chapter, but also at the district level and perhaps even the national level. I want to get everyone around me to love ASDA as much as I do! I want to be the better version of myself in all facets of my life.
So, what was it like attending my first ASDA conference? It was amazing, exhausting, exhilarating, wonderful, funny, motivational, awe-inspiring… AMAZING! It truly was THE BEST WEEK EVER!
~Kelly Santarelli, Class of 2017, Colorado ASDA Lunch and Learn Coordinator

BOOK REVIEW: 'Blue Future,' toward a water-just worldMore Info
Blue Future: Protecting Water for People and the Planet Forever
By Maude Barlow
The New Press December 2013 Hardcover $26.95
I strongly feel that this book should be compulsory reading for college students, whatever subject they study – economy, ecology, law, business, etc. The subject matter is relevant to most courses offered at colleges. Clean water, or the lack of it, touches every aspect of our lives, and therefore should be studied carefully.
Most of us take a glass of water or a good long shower for granted. I personally learned so much from this book that I now feel guilty to throw unused water down the drain. I hold the lengths of my shower to a minimum, and shudder every time the sprinklers on the golf course outside my condo go on. The younger generations, who will be most affected by what we learn from this book, should be forced to be made aware of their dire future, and given the know-how to stave off a tragedy while there is still time.
There is so much in this book for us to discuss. The author lays out the many areas of human activity that connect for better or worse with the state of the world's water: politics, corporate control, economics, land and water theft, energy production, farming and food production, water privatization, the building of dams. It seems that when it comes to water – that essential ingredient in all that keeps us alive, just like the air we breathe – corrupt forces are all around us to use water for their own benefit and gain. And, as we know, there are people who do not believe in Global Warming, a main contributor to the drying up of water sources. When I mentioned the content of this book to some people I know, they brushed it off by saying that we can always desalinate the ocean water. Little do they now that desalination actually adds to the water crisis. The process is very expensive, and the resulting emission is devastating to the environment.
It must be emphasized that denying people access to drinking water and sanitation is a violation of their human rights. Water should not have an influence on social structures, like the separation of the poor from the wealthy. Some of us are lucky enough to be able to afford to buy all the bottled water we need, but Barlow points out in her section about India that the poor who live in the slums can barely afford a bucket of water per family per day while the rich have the means to take long showers and generally to waste this precious liquid.
Maude Barlow has written extensively about social and environmental problems, mostly concerning her homeland, Canada. Three of her books — Blue Gold: The Battle Against Corporate Theft of the World's Water (written with Tony Clark), then Blue Covenant: The Global Water Crisis and the Fight for the Right to Water, and now her latest book, Blue Future: Protecting Water for People and the Planet Forever — focus on the water crisis world-wide, and shine a light on a truly dangerous situation affecting every nation on Earth. Her books are written with an eye to explaining the most technical aspects of the subject matter to people of all educational levels. In well-organized chapters, headlined by different "principals", the reader can easily follow and understand what the author so desperately wants us to know — how serious the global water situation really is.
Barlow is the national chairperson of the Council of Canadians and founder of the Blue Planet Project. She is also the recipient of Sweden's Right Livelihood Award and a Lannan Cultural Freedom Fellowship. She is chair of the board of Food & Water Watch, and a board member of the International Forum on Globalization. From 2008 to 2009, she served as senior advisor on water to the 63rd President of the UN General Assembly and helped lead the campaign to have water declared a human right. She lives in Ottawa, Canada.
I think Maude Barlow deserves the Nobel Prize for alerting the world to the danger of water mismanagement. This excellent book, which draws on her extensive experience and insight to lay out a set of key principles to show the way forward to what she calls a "water-secure and water-just world," surely deserves the highest praise.
In her introduction to the book, Maude Barlow particularly acknowledges the impact on her thinking from Nicaraguan diplomat Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann, President of the U.N. General Assembly 2008-2009, and from Pablo Solon, Bolivian Ambassador to the U.N., who never lost the belief that we could make the right to water real. In 2010 at a meeting of the General Assembly which Barlow attended, it was Bolivian Pablo Solon who introduced the resolution to recognize the human rights to water and sanitation. Reminding the members of the Assembly that "water is life," and by showing the devastating consequences of people dying from lack of water around the world, he was instrumental in persuading the Assembly to recognize the human rights to water and sanitation, which go hand in hand. But much more has to be done to persuade governments and corporations to see water as a human need and not simply as a commodity for profit.

This week the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued its much-anticipated Staff Guidance on what sort of supervision states should provide to regulatory boards in order for those boards to qualify for antitrust immunity. In March, we sent out an alert describing a new Supreme Court antitrust decision that could have significant implications for state regulatory agencies throughout the country. The FTC brought suit against a state dental board, claiming that it had illegally suppressed competition by sending cease-anddesist letters to non-dentists that implied the non-dentists broke the law by providing teeth whitening services. The Court rejected the board's state immunity argument because the board was made up of a controlling number of "active market participants"—practicing dentists. When that is true, the Court held, a regulatory board will only be immune to antitrust law if the state provided "active supervision" over the challenged action. Whether active state supervision exists is context-specific, but the Court did advise that it does not mean "micromanagement."
The FTC's new Guidance defines an "active market participant" as any person licensed by the board or any person providing a service that is subject to the regulatory authority of the board. This definition, if followed by courts, broadens the spectrum of boards that need active state supervision to get antitrust immunity.
Some states have considered creating state agencies that are empowered to modify, veto, or approve regulatory board actions. The new FTC Guidance says that this is insufficient if the agency provides only "cursory review" and "perfunctorily approves" a board's actions. The Guidance recommends that board actions be subject to a rigorous inquiry by a state supervisor that includes publishing notice, a public hearing, soliciting written comments, reviewing published studies and cost analyses, conducting de novo review, and issuing a written decision that explains the rationale for approving a board action. The process recommended by the new FTC Guidance is complicated, and may involve more than what state legislatures and boards initially expected would be needed for antitrust immunity.
Antitrust cases are often the most expensive cases to defend. State regulatory boards should seek advice on how they can minimize the risk of suit. Some boards may choose to put in place mechanisms to facilitate active state supervision so that they will have immunity to antitrust suits. Others may choose to keep their current structure but retain counsel to help them avoid making decisions that implicate antitrust laws. The fact that they are state agencies no longer means that they are automatically immune, and new FTC Guidance may have increased the level of sophistication that will be required of an active state supervision regime.

Trillium grandiflorum, is one of my favorite spring blooms. It grows in deep, rich, humusy, moist but well-drained soils in part to full shade (zone 4-8). As with all native wildflowers, you should not pick or disturb them in their natural setting.
In Spring I treasure hunting for Trillium while walking in the forest preserves. It makes my day to see their cheery flowers on the woodland floor often before the trees leaf out. You can spot this simple, graceful ephemeral perennial by looking for three white petals above three smaller green sepals. There are no true leaves visible.
Seeds form in capsules after bloom and are dispersed by ants, so you often see a group of Trilliums in bloom. This rhizomatous plant is slow and difficult to propagate from seed and spreads very gradually if left undisturbed. They don't self pollinate, so you will need to have more than one plant if you are lucky enough to find Trillium rhizomes for sale. Note, they are favorites of deer.

The ceremony would be located by the pool in the backyard of a mid century home with a mix of colorful chairs. The reception would be located on the other side of the pool. One long row of tables with a yellow table linen with a black flower print. The chairs would be as colorful as the ceremony. The DJ would be playing old records all night long. There would have be chaise lounge chairs and couches sectioned off for cigar bars and martini refills. A prefect mix of simple modern with a play of color.

{Tiffany & Tyler}
"You'll be his first kiss, his first love, his first friend; You are his mother and he is your whole world. He is your little boy." -unknown
You may remember Tiffany & Tyler from previous blogs I've posted; I've been lucky enough to have done other photo shoots with them in the past (remember "Cake Smash"?
http://www.machadophotography.com/2013/10/tylers-cake-smash/ -there's a reminder in case you've forgotten!). This time we did a "Mommy & Me" set of pictures. Mothers and sons have such a special bond!
As you can see, Tyler is an adorable, photogenic, happy little boy and the pictures turned out wonderfully! There are so many great ones, it will be hard for his parents to choose their favourites!
But aside from the obviously perfect subjects of this photoshoot, there are some other notable things that I need to discuss for blogging purposes! After all, part of the reason for this blog is to give Machado Photography's clients tips and pointers and ideas.
First point to note:
As I mentioned, this is not the first time I've photographed Tiffany, Richard & Tyler. They did a brilliant thing by pre-booking 3 separate shoots.
Life is busy….life with a toddler is REALLY busy! And those little ones grow so fast. One minute they're little bundles of warmth swaddled in a blanket, the next they're smiling and showing off their developing personality….then suddenly they're walking and talking! They change so much in such a short period of time! It's really easy for a busy parent to get distracted from doing things like booking an appointment to get photos done, then suddenly their baby is a pre-schooler.
By pre-booking, Tiffany & Richard made sure that they will make the time to record these adorable images of Tyler that will last forever!
Second point to ponder:
Notice the fantastic props in this shoot? The blocks, the books, the beautiful blue chair? These are things that are important to this family; Grandpa made that beautiful chair! Tyler loves that book! Tiffany brought them with her, and they help make the photos so much more personal. Machado Photography has a great selection of props that you can use, but when folks bring their own, it can make their shoot even more special. Favourite toys, outfits, books, games….don't be shy! Bring them along and we'll incorporate them! And if your little one is camera shy, having their own toys can make them more comfortable, which makes for sweeter pictures.
Third point to consider:
It's been mentioned in the past, but it bears repeating: think about location! You aren't committed to just one space for your photoshoot. Whether we're coming to you or you're coming to the studio, we can do more than one setting so that your photos have more diversity. Something as simple as going from indoors to outdoors can create a completely different feel for your pictures.
For this particular shoot, we did some in studio, then decided to head outside and play in the fresh air and snow…see Tyler's rosy cheeks? Too cute!
There you are! Not only do you get to see cute pictures, you get a few pointers to help you plan your next photo session with Machado Photography!
And I'm looking forward to Tiffany, Richard & Tyler's next visit!

Local economic development for sustainable growth
ECONOMIC growth is undoubtedly an important means for creating jobs, increasing people's incomes and reducing poverty. A sustainable growth in the economy of Africa's largest nation will give room for opportunities for poor and mid class people to support their families and build more stable futures. Statistics from Trading Economics website indicate that Nigeria economy decelerated remarkably in 2015, mainly due to low oil prices, turmoil in financial markets and severe imbalances in the foreign exchange market after Central Bank of Nigeria decided to maintain an artificially induced-strong Naira.
The economic outlook shows that unemployment rate is expected to be 10.7 per cent by the fourth quarter of 2016. The Nigeria GDP expanded by 3.0 per cent in 2015, which was below the 6.2 per cent experienced in 2014, marking the weakest growth in over one and half decades.
Although economic growth rate (GDP) is estimated to be about 9.19 per cent for the year 2016, challenges that make it difficult for Nigeria to stimulate and sustain economic growth include lack of timeous and accurate data for evidence based policies, weak trade and investment institutions leading to high unemployment, poor developmental infrastructures, lack of access to financial services and unsuitable laws and regulations. The microeconomic polices such as increase and sustained investment in infrastructure, creation of stimulus packages that primarily target infrastructure project and others should be taken over by the state and local governments.
The physical developments going on in Lagos, Ogun and Oyo states and local councils are commendable.
A situation where Federal government deals with all macro and micro economic policies implementation should be avoided. Sustainable development is said to be attained when development satisfies the needs of current generation without compromising the ability and capacity of future generations to meet their needs.
Data are raw materials for statistical "Industries" and its quality affects the data-ecosystem. There is need for mobilizing the data revolution for sustainable development in Nigeria; this has to be done by aggressively annexing all National Statistical Organisations to focus on the goals of this new development in Data era. The Independent Expert Advisory Group (IEAG) established by United Nations secretary General towards mobilising the data revolution for sustainable development recommended five actions to be taken by all members of UN.
These are: develop global consensus on principles and standards; share technology and innovations for the common goal; new resource for capacity development; leadership for coordination and mobilization and finally, exploit some quick wins on sustainable development goals (SDG) data. Nigeria's Statistical Systems need to be Data revolution compliant for sustainable economic growth.
Federal, state and local governments need to create the right incentives for firms to invest; Private investment by both foreign and domestic firms contributes to the economic growth that is needed to reduce poverty in Nigeria. To encourage investment, these three-tier governments should create a regulatory framework that is proportionate, effective, transparent and balanced.
The bureaucracy on business registration should first be removed; a situation when it takes 30-90 days to register businesses should be discouraged. In Bangladesh, for example, business registration process has been streamlined from more than one month to one day and the processes are completed online without any intermediary consultants. This work has resulted in over 19,000 new businesses being registered in two years.
Individuals', corporate bodies' and firms' willingness to invest depends on the business environment – the extent to which the laws, regulations and infrastructure within a country support or limit enterprising activities. Businesses need a degree of certainty and an acceptable level of risk. To achieve this, Nigeria needs: a strong rule of law, enforceable property and land rights, better regulations, reduced unwanted trade barriers, proper infrastructure, a functioning tax system and trade and transparent monitoring systems.
There is need to improve on transport, electricity and water supplies and services, which assist trade and create an environment in which business can flourish. Key stakeholders in the economy such as tertiary institutions need to be assisted and encouraged to embark on programmes that will lead to capacity building with added values to economy. By vigorously resuscitating the River basins authorities, farm settlements as well as cocoa, groundnut and coal producing centers in Nigeria will surely revive the down trending economy.
The Economic stimulus finances (ESF) products should enable individual or companies to manage risk and broaden their access to foreign and domestic capital markets. Private sector investment is essential for expanding businesses, creating jobs, and growing economies. The government should work with the private sector to encourage entrepreneurship and build sustainable businesses—advising them on a wide range of issues, including environmental, social and governance standards, energy, resource efficiency and supply chains.
Government at all levels should help to expand access to critical finance for individuals and micro, small, and medium size enterprises through financial intermediary clients. Under the rule of law, the judiciary system should provide a strong, predictable and transparent commercial legal environment which is critical to stimulate domestic and foreign investment in developing countries. To operate and grow, businesses need clear rules and the ability to enter into agreements and resolve disputes quickly and affordably.
The Nigeria government and businesses should consider an economic model that accommodates the risk around financial markets (credit and liquidity) and build in strategies for strong growth with extensive plans for liquidity facilities, tax reforms and monitoring cash supply in areas affected by instability due to militants' insurgence. Federal government should focus on results, and avoid prescribing rigid policies and actions. States and local councils should be allowed space to respond accordingly to their particular needs and circumstances.
All budget and planning activities should be evidence based and aligned to National Development Plans (NDP). There should be an overall SWOT assessment to meet the needs of Nigeria local economic development (NLED) planning. The aim is to identify major regional and federal assets or strengths and main local obstacles to growth or weaknesses. The SWOT of NLED will seek to detect the main opportunities and threats that are posed by the external environment.
This SWOT of NLED analysis can then, in turn, be used to formulate strategies that will allow the Nigeria locality to make the most of its internal strength and the external opportunities and minimize the negative effects of weaknesses and threats.

Continuation of my work using biro to draw contemporary portraits and am now exploring using paint alongside.
A recent new painting in a series based around traditional stories in contemporary settings. I wanted to see how few symbols the viewer needed to read the image and relate to stories that are part of the Western culture. For some reason they seem to be featuring women who are waiting for something to happen…See the picture of sleeping beauty in an earlier post….

Broadway's Glorious Choral Sequences
Today I find myself in the mood to listen to great choral numbers from Broadway musicals. These are the glorious sequences where evocative orchestrations join hands with a multitude of voices and a synergy is born that shoots a jolt of lightening through the listener. Going through my cast recordings, picking favorites is hard to do, but I have assembled some of mine here. This list is by no means complete, nor is it intentionally exclusive. What it strives to be is a compilation of the choral numbers that make my heart soar. I hope you will weigh in, maybe listen to a few, and share some of your impressions of my choices and weigh-in on your favorites.
"The Old Red Hills of Home" from Parade
Parade is a musical that deserves a second go-around on Broadway, thanks greatly to Jason Robert Brown's majestic score that has become very popular despite the show's short life. Among the haunting numbers is "The Old Red Hills of Home", a patriotic anthem that starts with a single voice and grows into a chorus of the multitudes, an impassioned devotion to the old south and its traditions. In the show's context, the song is all the more powerful as it underlines the attitudes that support prejudice. "The Old Red Hills of Home" bookends the musical, commencing the show with it's blind spirit, and concluding the show with a dark irony. It's an unforgettable number that will play, over and over, in your head.
"Morning Glow" from Pippin
Anyone who attended the recent revival of Pippin, or indeed anyone who simply loves the show, knows that "Morning Glow", the go to Act One finale of the musical, is an exhilarating moment of musical theatre. Stephen Schwartz's music and lyrics start out slow and reflective and build into a monumental moment of choral harmonies as the characters celebrate the coronation of their new king. The new cast recording captures the song at its absolute finest and I dare anyone to say they don't get a chill from those harmonies.
"Put on Your Sunday Clothes" from Hello, Dolly!
A great choral number doesn't have to revolve a serious moment, as is demonstrated by "Put on Your Sunday Clothes" from Hello, Dolly! In fact, this lively ditty is one of the great musical comedy choral numbers. Starting out small, a batch of characters searching for amour, all decide to take the train into New York City to find love. The number builds with more and more voices joining in as everyone celebrates what it means to put on your best clothes and enjoy some time on the town. The final chorus amps it up a notch as the Jerry Herman music is orchestrated to sound like the train itself. Perfection.
"Who Will Buy?" from Oliver!
Similar to "Put on Your Sunday Clothes" in its incremental builds, but very different in its approach, "Who Will Buy?" from Oliver! has always been a haunting song for me. The girl repeating "Ripe, strawberries, ripe" over the throngs celebrating the possibility of a perfect morning is born of a special kind of theatre magic. The combination of voices, orchestrations and context (not to mention the setting in an atmospheric London) set the stage for a truly memorable choral experience.
"Sunday" from Sunday in the Park with George
The Act One finale of Sunday in the Park with George may just be the greatest first act finale ever devised for the musical theatre. Composer Stephen Sondheim created a rapturous experience, starting with musical cacophony and then bringing a park full of patrons together into an ordered and lovely promenade to music. As they sing and stroll, we suddenly see the painting "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" assemble before our eyes.
"You'll Never Walk Alone" from Carousel
At the end of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Carousel, the scene is set at a high school graduation in a New England fishing village. The character of Julie Jordan is watching her daughter graduate, both of them outcasts in a judgmental town that refuses to forgive the family's past. The speaker at the commencement shares his thoughts on perseverance in the face of adversity, a message (a reprise of a song sung earlier in the show) that builds into an inspirational choral number that paints the possibility of hope.
"Ol' Man River" from Show Boat
The emotional reprise of this song in Show Boat (music by Jerome Kern, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein) climaxes the show with an emotional outpouring that is a commentary on the futility of life. The chorus comes together to watch the Cotton Blossom sail off into the sunset, singing of the thematic river that carries it away, a relentless and unforgiving waterway that doesn't take the time to stop and care about humanity. The vocal harmonies ache with those who have been at the river's mercy and the orchestrations ebb and thrust with its tenacious current.
"Make Our Garden Grow" from Candide
No list of great choral numbers from Broadway would be complete without the truly splendiferous "Make Our Garden Grow" from the musical Candide. The culmination of the operetta-style adaptation of Voltaire's classic tale, the lush number is a celebration of using one's mind and taking the time to rationalize and think. The divine song grows and expands with Leonard Bernstein's brilliantly resplendent music.
"The Miracle Song" from Anyone Can Whistle
Sometimes you just hear a choral number and say to yourself "Boy, I'd sure like to stage that song!" One of those inspiring numbers for me is "The Miracle Song" from Stephen Sondheim's Anyone Can Whistle. A vibrant and energetic song led by a town's shifty and shady mayoress, the number is all about how she convinces the town that water has sprung from a rock and that the water's healing powers will solve all their problems. Soon, the number builds into a zealotous fanaticism as people arrive to "take the waters." The number has great harmonies and such a powerful energy.
The First Twenty-Minutes of Titanic
Perhaps unparalleled in its splendor, the first twenty-minutes of Maury Yeston's score for Titanic comes very close to elevating us to heaven. Titanic was made up of an enormous ensemble of rich voices that could achieve a hymn-like ecstasy when they came together in harmony. The Jonathan Tunick orchestrations are dramatic, supple and anthem-like in scale, highlighting the grandeur of the ill-fated luxury liner and honoring the lives that will end on its maiden voyage. Though I found the rest of the show uneven and sometimes overly cerebral, its first twenty-minutes was nothing like that. In fact, it remains one of the most emotionally charged opening sequences ever to grace the Broadway stage.

Puffy Sleeve, A-Line Easter Dress/
My 5yo wanted "puffy sleeves" (I wasn't thrilled with that- I don't like sleeves!) and a "straight" skirt.
I traced one of her T-shirts to get the bodice pattern, but made the waist fairy high. Then I cut the skirt to be an A-line style.
The sleeves were a little trickier, but they turned out really, really well! I used the same technique as found here.
I prefer invisible zippers and I used a sash from the Easter dresses I made two years ago. Maybe later I will make another one, but for now this is good.
It is very simple, but it is what she asked for! For now there is a little room for her to grow (or the dress to shrink) so she should be able to wear it all summer long!

going down
2 weeks left. i am entering a miserable phase where i desperately cling to everything i have here knowing i will lose it all in an instant. it's very strange to pick up in the midst of a very pleasant life in which i have everything i could possibly want, and move unwillingly to another completely different life on the other side of the world in which i have absolutely nothing at all and am very unhappy. i am trying to look at it as a challenge but underneath there is something in me that just wants to cry myself to sleep every night instead.

Custom Kiosk – Vending Machines and Automated Retail isThe Future
Retail kiosks integrate online, self-service shopping options
Demand is growing for the integration of online and self-service stores, according to Corona, Calif.-based AVT Inc., a developer of custom kiosks, vending machines and automated retailing.
AVT's new Micro-Stores, which will be shipped out in the third quarter, combine kiosks with Internet retail options, the company said in an announcement.
For example, if a kiosk doesn't have a customer's preferred color or size, a touchscreen panel provides instant access to online shopping options, where orders can be shipped to the customer's residence or to a retail location.
Cisco Systems research estimates the Micro-Stores to be a $7 billion revenue venture with return on investment within two years, the announcement said.
According to AVT, the stores have little overhead and provide unlimited access to merchandise, which can be an incentive for entrepreneurs wanting to open new businesses.
"Our customers have been asking for a more advanced micro-store, with integration to online shopping channels," AVT founder and Chairman Shannon Illingworth said. "Our new automated platform provides business owners and entrepreneurs with the most advanced and effective system in the world, while giving customers the most engaging and comprehensive shopping experience."
Micro-Stores can be placed in nearly any location, ATV said, such as parks, universities, airports, hotels and stadiums. KioskMarketplace.com Media/News/Publishing


text: This was a special one - one of the most emotional, personal, and joyous moments I have ever been a part of. I joined Brian and Mattie, along with four of their friends (now my friends), on a four day long backpacking trip during which Brian and Mattie would be getting married. We all met at the Wallowa Lake Lodge where we stayed and enjoyed dinner the night before setting out. We hit the trail early the next day after eating a bit of breakfast and maybe a mimosa or two. We left not knowing where the ceremony would take place, understanding that we'd know it when we found it. After two days of hiking in the beautiful Wallowa backcountry we found ourselves at Frazier Lake - a quiet lake under the mountains, the area nearby carpeted by wildflowers - this was it. We woke before sunrise to get ready under headlamp. There was this intense calm feeling in the air. The excitement of what was about to happen, mixed with the quiet of the lake, and the power of the mountains made for some magical energy. The ceremony was truly amazing - sunrise, in a field of wildflowers, two people so full of love for each other they couldn't contain it. I get misty eyed every time I look at their photos. We took some time to celebrate with a bottle of champagne that had been chilling with snow in a water bladder, took a few photos, and headed back on the trail, finishing up the last two days of hiking. I can't say enough about how awesome of an experience this was. The opportunity to create the strong bonds that only heading into the backcountry with someone can create, mixed with such a powerful display of joy and emotion made for the most memorable wedding I have ever been a part of. I'm so thankful I got to be there. Congrats Brian and Mattie! Love You!
