A piece of cake
- (idiom) something easily achieved
A piece of cake in Hindi (English to Hindi Dictionary)
- सरल काम
A piece of cake Origin
- Referring to something as a "piece of cake" is often used to describe a situation that was easy, or required little effort. How did the term cake come to mean easy?
The idea of cake being "easy" originated in the 1870's when cakes were given out as prizes for winning competitions. In particular, there was a tradition in the US slavery states where slaves would circle around a cake at a gathering. The most "graceful" pair would win the cake the in middle. From this the term "cake walk" and "piece of cake" came into being, both meaning that something was easy to accomplish.
A piece of cake in a sentence
- The mind tunes itself with the song the composer gives and I come up with an improvised version," he says making it sound like a piece of cake.
- With the presence of features like optical zoom and optical image stabilization, the 4K video recording would be a piece of cake.
- Replying to his text was a piece of cake.
- But when you're as smart and talented as Michael is, learning the whole boxing thing is a piece of cake.
- As the process of making a "Mad Max" film is definitely not a piece of cake.

The ability belonging to Saijou-senpai, fourth strongest in Hagun Academy, is the accumulation of attack power. The more he swings his horse-cleaving blade, the more power is added--it's a very easy ability to understand and use, isn't it? But that simplicity is also a weakness since the ability is hard to apply in actual battle.

His personal attributes aren't high, but since the Seven Stars Sword-Art Festival has a ten-count ring out rule, his teleportation ability "God Hand", which can freely move objects that he locks onto, gives him power on the level of an ogre. If he teleports an opponent INTO ROCK, then few if any of the contenders would be able to a thing. Senpai was right to use Ittou Rasetsu from the start, I'd say.

A member of Akatsuki Academy, who revealed her true power in the second round of the Seven Stars Sword-Art Festival. Using an outrageously all-purpose Noble Art that manifests one's mental images, she's a difficult opponent that tormented Sword Eater and the Crownless Sword King, right?
It's just that even this Noble Art isn't totally all-purpose; since it only creates what she imagines, it can't draw things that go beyond her imagination. She tried to cover that weakness in her painted composition, but Senpai noticed the defect in that composition and ended up taking the win. That's Senpai for you!

I wrote some weeks ago about Stephen Colbert's SuperPAC, a real-life political fund and comedic awareness campaign that highlights the absurd logic of our corrupt campaign funding process. On Thursday night, the campaign took a new step, explaining in an incredibly clear manner this Kafkaesque political labyrinth.
You can watch the whole bit at Colbert's site, but here's the juicy part below. I'm constantly amazed how this ongoing comedy bit makes the incredibly boring — yet incredibly important — so enjoyable and funny to watch. Just imagine trying to explain this to someone on the street and keep them interested:

OSI for CCNA Layer 2: Data Link
The CCNA exam has extensive coverage of data routing. Data routing is handled by the data link layer of the OSI. The data link layer does the following:
Transmits the data on the physical medium.
Routes the data locally on the physical network medium. The data link layer uses physical addresses assigned to each physical network device in the local network to route data from one physical device to another.
Receives each packet from the network layer on the sending host and wraps it up in a data frame along with local routing data.
Sends each data frame down to the physical layer to code an electrical or optical signal to transmit the data frame over a wire or over the air (wireless transmission).
On the receiving host, the data link layer unwraps the data frame received to extract the packet and sends it up to the network layer.
Cisco switches are Layer 2 (data link layer) devices.

Brno, Czech republic, June 22, 2013 - She just turned nineteen at the 17th edition of the FIVB Women's U20 World Championship but she is already a volleyball star in her country: Damla Cakiroglu is the captain of Turkey here in Czech Republic, and she tells about her past, present and future on the volleyball court.
"We have won all the most important tournament as a Junior Team in last years (World Championship and European Championship for two times) so we are here to win again this tournament that will be our last in this category" Damla says. "We came to Brno not feeling the pressure of being the one to beat, but we know that all the other teams want to defeat us" she continues "so we have to be much stronger than the others to show our level."
About the competition started yesterday in Brno she says: "We know our level as a team and we are here to improve as much as we can to try to win this tournament together. We worked hard and we will keep on training hard to be ready to meet the other teams that are the best in the world. We have already played against most of them in the past, but every year we can see their improvements, so we have to grow also ourselves".
She is the captain of her National Team, and she reveals to be proud of it: "I am really honored to be the captain of my team, but it is a big responsibility because you have to cheer up your team-mates even if there are difficult moments. This is not so easy as it seems to be. On the other hand, I know them so I know we can turn our bad moments into good very fast, I really trust them one by one!"
After this World Championship Damla will probably pass in the senior national team. "I hope to be chosen also for the senior national team, it would be a dream come true, every girls playing volleyball wants to be part of that team. I hope to play the next Olympic Games in Rio in 2016 with my team, the Olympics are the top of any athlete's career, so I will work hard to be there, and I hope to be together with my current team-mates, will be awesome!"
After the second win in a row at the 2013 FIVB Women's World Championship, Damla and her team are in a good position to go ahead in the tournament that she dreams to win.

Pawleys Island
RE/MAX Southern Shores Sells Homes in Pawleys Island, SC
Pawleys Island, South Carolina, located 70 miles north of Charleston and 25 miles south of Myrtle Beach, is known as one of the oldest communities along the Grand Strand. Pawleys Island is a barrier island less than 4 miles long and a quarter mile wide, separated from the mainland by a beautiful salt marsh and accessible by two short causeways. The rice planters who owned plantations on the nearby rivers first settled Pawleys Island in the early 1700′s. People are still moving to Pawleys to enjoy seaside breezes, sugar-sand beaches, exquisite sunsets, and quiet, low country living!
The beach is peaceful and pristine, and renowned for its surf. Within five miles of the island there are ten excellent golf courses and a large tennis complex. Fishing is available both in the surf and from the two marsh bridges. Or launch your boat from one of the three island boat ramps. Pawleys continues to be known for its shoeless, carefree, laid-back life style, which includes crabbing in the adjacent creeks, fishing, ghost stories, rope hammocks and unspoiled, delightful stretches of wide beach and sand dunes!
Pawleys Island and the surrounding area is sometimes called "The Hammock Coast" after the famous Pawleys Island hammocks. Within a few minutes drive of Pawleys Island you will discover Huntington State Park with its protected shoreline and dunes that thousands of species of wildlife call home. On the grounds is Atalaya, the Moorish-styled home of Archer and Anna Hyatt Huntington. Mrs. Huntington, a renowned sculptor, worked at Atalaya before she and her husband gave their property to South Carolina to become the Huntington State Park and Brookgreen Gardens.
Brookgreen Gardens is another Pawleys Island "neighbor" you will want to get to know. Not only home to the largest outdoor sculpture collection in the United States but also home to an ever-changing landscape, Brookgreen Gardens is a national historic landmark. Huntington State Park, the "castle" and the Gardens add to the rich fabric of life in the Pawleys Island community, a fabric that is rich in tradition and welcoming to newcomers as well!

Paul Schutzer died 47 years ago, in June 1967, on the first day of the Six-Day War. The 36-year-old LIFE photographer was riding in a half-track personnel carrier with Israeli soldiers when he was shot through the head, moments before a bazooka round struck the half-track and wounded a half-dozen troops.
Days later, Schutzer's body was found. Alongside his remains was his camera, baking in the desert sun; inside were the last pictures he ever made. Here, LIFE.com presents those pictures, in humble tribute to a master photographer and a great journalist taken too soon.
For weeks after his death, LIFE's editors, correspondents and even LIFE readers paid tribute to Schutzer in the pages of the magazine he had helped shape for close to a decade. For some, he was a trusted and valued colleague; for others, he was a stranger whose work through the years had consistently and deeply moved them, delighted them, shocked them; for still others, he was a friend and not someone easily, or ever, replaced.
"Paul Schutzer and I went to college together and my memories of him will always be pleasant," a reader named Mel Buxbaum wrote to the editors in the June 7, 1967, issue of LIFE. "He was a unique observer of people and events. . . . He saw the world through the eye of an accomplished artists and sculptor — perhaps this was the key to his remarkable genius with a camera."
LIFE's longtime managing editor, George P. Hunt, offered a clear-eyed and loving tribute to Schutzer in the June 16, 1967, issue.
"Paul was 36," Hunt wrote, "but he seemed younger. His brown hair, friendly hazel eyes and handsome boyish face all told so much about his buoyancy and warmth. Indeed, Paul was a man deeply concerned with the human spirit, and it was this — his compassion for people — that made him the brilliant photographer he was."
Remember, for a moment [Hunt continued], some of the stories he did and the events he covered — the Berlin Wall, the Iranian earthquake, the Algerian War, Eastern Europe with that memorable portraiture of life there, a delightful characterization of the Italian man, his coverage of Nixon jeered and assaulted in Venezuela, or John F. Kennedy through his campaign, the fury of Hurricane Audrey when it battered Louisiana, the Winter Olympics at Innsbruck, the scaling of the North wall of the Eiger. He went into Cuba to cover the Castro crisis, into Lebanon with the Marines and again with the Marines in Vietnam. . . . His was a full life, made even fuller by an inner drive to probe with taste and dignity into the effect of events upon people. Many photographers do this, but Paul's special fascination with his fellow man, and his understanding of him, made his work exceptional.
Paul was also a poet and this was so evident in his approach to the world. Even in his bitterest or tragic pictures there shines trough the lyric thought that in suffering comes hope. The lovely things entranced him, too: and then his sense of beauty would take on a distinctive charm. A friend of Paul recalls sitting with him at a cafe in Rome [during] one of those warm cloudless Italian summers. They were on the Appia Antica, and the great old city sprawled in front of them. Paul watched the soft landscape through his glass of white wine, and he caught the sunlight in it. He looked at it for a while and said, "I would like to photograph the world through this topaz."

Paraguay: Worldwide Travel Information World Countries > America > Paraguay
Paraguay: Worldwide Travel Information World Countries > America > Paraguay
ParaguayParaguay is a landlocked country in South America. It is bordered by Argentina to the south and southwest, Brazil to the east and northeast, and Bolivia to the northwest.
The capital and largest city is Asunción
Paraguay lies on both banks of the Paraguay River which runs through the center of the country from north to south. Due to its central location in South America, it is sometimes referred to as Corazón de América, or the Heart of America.
The Guaraní have been living in Paraguay since before the arrival of Europeans in the 16th century, when Paraguay became part of the Spanish colonial empire. Following independence from Spain in 1811, Paraguay was ruled by a series of dictators who followed isolationist and protectionist policies. This development was truncated by the disastrous Paraguayan War (1864–1870) in which the country lost 60% to 70% of its population and large amounts of territory.
During a large part of the 20th century, Paraguay was ruled by Alfredo Stroessner who led one of South America's longest lived military dictatorships. In 1989 Stroessner was toppled and free elections were celebrated in 1993. In 1994 Paraguay joined Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay to found Mercosur.
The official languages are Spanish and Guaraní both being widely spoken in the country, with around 92% of the general population speaking Spanish and 98% speaking Guaraní
Though it remains one of the region's poor st and least-developed countries, in 2010, Paraguay's economy grew by 14.5%, the largest economic expansion in Latin America, and the third fastest in the world after Qatar and Singapore. By 2011, economic growth slowed but remained high, at 6.4%.

Cards were champs throughout system
Taveras, Miller helped organization win two Minor League titles
By John Parker / Special to MLB.com | December 14, 2011 5:00 AM
It was a memorable and rewarding season for the St. Louis organization, and not just at the Major League level, where the Cardinals claimed their 11th World Series crown. Two of the club's Minor League affiliates won titles, with Rookie-level Johnson City capturing its second consecutive Appalachian League championship and Class A Quad Cities rolling to its first Midwest League crown since 1990.
Triple-A Memphis finished 11 games over .500 and 2 1/2 games out of the Pacific Coast League playoffs, while Class A Advanced Palm Beach and short-season Batavia fell just shy of the .500 mark. Double-A Springfield posted a 62-78 mark, despite featuring Texas League Player of the Year Matt Adams, who led the system with 32 home runs.
Cardinals Organization All-Stars
Catcher -- Bryan Anderson, Memphis (98 games): In his seventh professional season, all in the Cardinals organization, the 24-year-old was solid both at the plate and behind it. After a slow start -- he hit .210 over the first two months -- the California native was a force the rest of the way, batting .311 after June 1.
Anderson reeled off a streak of six consecutive multi-hit games from Aug. 3-10 and continued to make strides as a receiver. Although he threw out only 24 percent of would-be basestealers -- his lowest mark since his rookie season at Johnson City in 2005 -- Anderson allowed only two passed balls in 92 games.
First base -- Matt Adams, Springfield (115 games): After hitting .310 with 22 homers for Quad Cities in 2010, his first full season as a pro, Adams skipped a level to Double-A Springfield. The move more than paid off as the Slippery Rock product was named Texas League Player of the Year after bashing 32 homers -- most in the Cardinals system -- and driving in a league-best 101 runs. Adams' .300 average ranked fourth among Cards' full-season farmhands and his .566 slugging percentage led all qualifiers in the system.
The Cardinals named Adams their Minor League Player of the Year, with farm director John Vuch noting that, "Not only did he compile a remarkable offensive season with the bat, but he also was very solid in the other aspects of his game while demonstrating outstanding leadership qualities."
"It's basically getting the footwork down," said Adams, who was named to the All-Prospect team in the prestigious Arizona Fall League. "Being a catcher, just having those soft hands, helps out at first base, too, being able to pick the ball coming from those infielders."
With Albert Pujols departing for the Angels, there's a vacancy at first base in St. Louis. Although the 23-year-old Adams may need more seasoning, he'll arrive at Busch Stadium soon enough if he continues to hit like he did this year.
Second base -- Eric Duncan, Springfield (103 games): Duncan, a Yankees' first-round pick in 2003, established career highs in homers (22) and slugging (.527) in his first season in the St. Louis organization. His .274 batting average was his highest since hitting .301 as a rookie in 2003.
The New Jersey native signed a Minor League contract with the Cardinals in April but got off to a slow start at Springfield, batting .222 with one homer in his first 32 games. The 26-year-old broke out in June, hitting .326 with nine homers and 21 RBIs in 23 games. Duncan spent time at left field as well as at first base, second and third.
On Aug. 28 at Arkansas, he hit for the cycle after collecting his first triple of the season. After finishing third in the system in both homers and slugging, Duncan signed a Minor League deal with the Royals in November.
Honorable mention: Jose Garcia and former first-round pick Kolten Wong
Third base -- Matt Carpenter, Memphis (130 games), St. Louis (seven games): After being named a Topps Double-A All-Star in 2010, Carpenter made his Triple-A and Major League debuts this year. While he went just 1-for-15 in seven games with the Cardinals, the TCU product hit .300 with 12 homers and a career-high 70 RBIs for the Redbirds.
The 26-year-old led the system with 84 walks (against 68 strikeouts) and his .422 on-base percentage was the highest among Cardinals farmhands who played at least 80 games.
"It's really important, especially [in the PCL]," said Carpenter, who led all St. Louis Mionr Leaguers with a .418 OBP in 2010. "Guys try to get you to hit their pitch a lot more often than [at] most levels. That's the key to hitting -- you want to make them get it over the plate, give you something you want to swing at. I've always tried to really bear down on that part of my game, really be disciplined at the plate and look for a good pitch to hit."
"He has a real good approach," Vuch added. "He's a hard worker. He's smart enough to take it at-bat to at-bat. He focuses on the task at hand, he doesn't get wrapped up in the bigger picture."
Shortstop -- Matthew Williams, Johnson City (59 games): A 15th-round pick in the June Draft out of Liberty University, Williams kicked off his pro career in style, reaching base three times in his debut on June 21. The 22-year-old Tennessee native went on to hit .293 with six homers and finished third in the system with 20 stolen bases, despite playing only 59 games.
Williams collected multiple hits in 20 of 59 games and closed the regular season on a 13-game hitting streak. He was instrumental in leading Johnson City to its second straight Appalachian League title, collecting five hits and five RBIs in five postseason games. Williams also was second on the club during the season with 47 runs scored.
Honorable mention: Ryan Jackson
Andrew Brown, Memphis (107 games), St. Louis (11 games): Brown, who can play both corner infield spots as well as the corner outfield positions, had a phenomenal first half, batting .324/.412/.588 with 14 homers in 63 games. Those numbers helped earn a spot in the PCL starting lineup at the Triple-A All-Star Game.
The 27-year-old Nebraska product made his big league debut on June 12 and went 4-for-22 (.182) in 11 games before returning to the Redbirds.
"He's got a great stroke and a hitter's mentality," former Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said during Brown's stint in St. Louis. "He's a very intelligent hitter, he's got a good idea of what it's all about. I would say he's got a good big league future."
That future won't come with the Cardinals, however. Brown batted .224 in 44 games over the second half for Memphis and was claimed off waivers by the Rockies on Oct. 12.
Jermaine Curtis, Springfield (90 games): Curtis did a little bit of everything for Springfield this season: He played 19 games at third base, 16 at second, 31 in the outfield and even pitched 1 2/3 no-hit innings. Meanwhile, he batted .315 and reached base at a .414 clip, which would have ranked third and second, respectively, in the system -- and the Texas League -- had he the plate appearances to qualify.
Curtis batted .349 against right-handed pitching and .357 in the second half of the season -- his average climbed each month from April to August. In 20 games in August, he hit .383/.479/.450 with 10 walks and only four strikeouts in 70 at-bats.
The 24-year-old's 31 strikeouts overall were the fewest by anyone in the system who played at least 65 games.
Oscar Taveras, Quad Cities (78 games): The 19-year-old entered the season as the Cardinals' No. 7 prospect and the second-youngest player in the Class A Midwest League. In both cases, he was more than ready. The Puerto Rico native went 8-for-12 with two homers and seven RBIs in his first four games before a hamstring injury sidelined him for the rest of April and much of May.
Taveras recovered to hit .402 with 27 RBIs and 25 runs scored in 25 games in July (earning Topps Midwest League Player of the Month honors) and .376 in August to nab the Midwest League Player of the Month award. He finished the season at .386/.444/.584 to capture the league batting crown.
Taveras wasn't done with his remarkable campaign, however. He went 9-for-24 (.375) with seven RBIs and seven runs scored as Quad Cities won all seven of its playoff games to capture its first Midwest League title since 1990.
"He's one of the better hitters I've seen in a long time," River Bandits manager Johnny Rodriguez said. "He puts the barrel on the ball. He has that knack with his swing to put the ball in play with the sweet spot. A young Tony Oliva, it says a lot.
"I think in time he'll develop more power, too. It's going to come, and he can hit 'em to left-center just like he can hit it to right-center. He's learning the game in all aspects, but he can swing it. He's 19, that's one of the things you have to look at it. He's young mentally."
Taveras went on to hit .307 in the AFL, pointing the way to even greater things next season.
Right-handed starting pitcher -- Shelby Miller, Palm Beach (nine games), Springfield (16 games): Miller began the season as the Cardinals' top prospect, 20th overall in the Minors. Like Taveras, he proved more than worthy of the accolades. The 2009 first-round pick went 11-6 with a 2.77 ERA in 25 starts while being named a Florida State League midseason All-Star, a Texas League postseason All-Star and the Cardinals' Minor League Pitcher of the Year for the second straight season. (The last Cardinal to accomplish that feat was Rick Ankiel in 1998-99.)
"Shelby had another tremendous season in 2011," Vuch said. "He had success against hitters at two very different levels while simultaneously continuing to make steady progress working on the things he'll need to do in order to be effective at the highest levels. It's exciting to watch him continue to mature into a more polished and complete pitcher."
Not only did Miller learn a lot on the mound -- he worked on his curveball and changeup with Palm Beach pitching coach and four-time All-Star Dennis Martinez and Springfield pitching coach Bryan Eversgerd -- he picked up some lessons off the field after being suspended for a week by the organization for reportedly violating team policy in August.
"Just being away from the team was tough," Miller said. "Missing a start, I didn't like that much. But I've learned a lesson. It taught me a lot of things as far as how to go about the game in all aspects. The Cardinals did it for a reason, and I learned a lesson and it won't happen again."
Miller rebounded with three strong outings to close out the campaign, capped by eight two-hit frames against Tulsa on Sept. 2. He held opponents to a .219 average and led the organization with 170 strikeouts over 139 2/3 innings.
Still only 21, Miller hopes to make a run at the big league rotation.
"I'm going into Spring Training thinking I am," he said. "I think I'm ready. I think if they give me a chance and I do good, I might have a shot. I'm going to go into Spring Training acting like I'm going to make it, doing all the right things, performing and just trying to impress everybody."
Left-handed starting pitcher -- Kevin Siegrist, Quad Cities (nine games), Palm Beach (11 games): Unlike the heralded Miller, who commanded a $2.875 million signing bonus, Siegrist was a 41st-round selection out of Palm Beach Community College in 2008. He was similarly dominant, however, posting a 2.26 ERA and .212 batting average against over 107 1/3 innings.
The 22-year-old began the season with Quad Cities, where he was nearly untouchable, going 8-1 with a 1.15 ERA in nine starts. Five of the seven earned runs he yielded over 54 2/3 Midwest League innings came in his sole loss against Wisconsin on May 1. In his other eight outings, he posted a 0.37 ERA and .174 average against. Topps named him Midwest League Player of the Month for May.
The 6-foot-5 southpaw had two stints on the disabled list at Palm Beach but posted a respectable 3.42 ERA in 11 starts, despite walking twice as many Florida State League hitters in two fewer innings than he did with the River Bandits. He wrapped up the season on a strong note, fanning a career-high 10 batters on Sept. 1.
Among the 17 Cardinals farmhands who tossed at least 100 innings, Siegrist's 2.26 ERA ranked first and only Miller allowed fewer than his four homers.
Honorable mention: Anthony Ferrara and John Gast
Relief pitcher -- Justin Wright, GCL Cardinals (one game), Quad Cities (17 games), Palm Beach (14 games): Wright allowed an earned run in only four of 32 outings. Of the six earned runs he yielded, two of them (and one of the two homers he surrendered) came in his season debut on April 8. The rest of the season, he was as close to a sure thing as baseball has to offer.
The 2010 47th-round pick put himself in elite company with his performance in his first full season. He was named to the Midwest League All-Star team after going 5-1 with a 1.26 ERA and 54 strikeouts in 35 2/3 innings for Quad Cities. After an upper-back injury shelved him from mid-June to mid-July, he made 12 consecutive scoreless appearances for Palm Beach before allowing a homer on Aug. 30.
Though hardly an imposing figure on the mound -- he's listed at 5-foot-9 and 175 pounds -- the Virginia Tech product racked up 70 strikeouts while allowing 27 hits (for a .148 average against) over 52 1/3 frames at three levels. His 12 strikeouts per nine innings were tops in the organization.
Wright struggled in the AFL, where he made seven scoreless appearances but was roughed up for 11 earned runs in his other three games and finished with a 11.42 ERA.
Honorable mention: Keith Butler, Dean Kiekhefer and Victor Marte
Utility pitcher -- Jordan Swagerty, Quad Cities (five games), Palm Beach (22 games), Springfield (nine games): Swagerty's first pro season was so impressive and unusual that we had to create a category just for him. A 2010 second-round pick out of Arizona State, the right-hander made 12 starts and 24 relief appearances at three levels, going 5-3 with a 1.83 ERA over 93 2/3 frames.
Swagerty, 22, worked primarily out of the bullpen in college but began his pro career in the Quad Cities rotation. After posting a 1.50 ERA with a .178 average against in five starts, he was quickly promoted to Palm Beach. Swagerty made seven starts with the FSL Cardinals, then shifted back to the bullpen in late June. In 15 relief appearances, he allowed two runs on nine hits while fanning 22 over 18 frames for a 1.00 ERA.
Swagerty made his Double-A debut on Aug. 13 and converted three of five save opportunities while posting a 2.89 ERA in nine outings. For the year, he held foes to a .204 average. With a sinking fastball, slider and plus changeup, he has the stuff to be a starter. His aggressive approach, however, may be better suited to the bullpen.

The primary purpose of this Migration Planning Guidance (MPG) is to assist customer agencies to prepare for, and manage, a migration of their human resource management operations to a shared services environment under the Human Resources Line of Business (HR LOB) initiative. The MPG provides tools and guidance to agency human resources (HR) executives, their management teams, and the management teams of public and private shared service centers (SSCs). The MPG should be helpful to all organizations involved with Federal human resource management. The MPG is a living document and will be updated periodically.
The HR LOB initiative was launched in 2004 to support the vision articulated in the President's Management Agenda. The HR LOB is expected to help the Federal government realize the potential of electronic government by significantly enhancing human resources service delivery within the executive branch. The HR LOB Concept of Operations (CONOPS), summarized in Section 3, proposes a near-term service delivery model in which HR services relating to human resources information systems (HRIS) and payroll operations move from the agencies to HR shared service centers.
The HR LOB Business Reference Model (BRM), version 2, provides the detailed business activities that inform the Concept of Operations (CONOPS). It also provides the structure for operational placement decisions (e.g., retain at agency or move to shared service center). Some activities will continue to be performed by customer agencies; other activities will be performed in the future by shared service providers; and some activities will be performed jointly by customer agencies and shared service providers. Additionally, BRM activities in this end-to-end process offer a tangible basis for identifying provider requirements: the specification of technology, process, role and service level expectations of the service providers.
This MPG document provides stakeholders:
The HR LOB Migration Planning Guidance contained herein will allow customer agencies to effectively and efficiently migrate to SSCs and increase their focus on the Strategic Management of Human Capital. In turn, HR shared service centers will deliver the HR core and non-core services defined in the HR LOB CONOPS in an efficient and cost-effective manner with a focus on customer and service quality.
Back to top
The vision of the HR LOB initiative is to provide "Governmentwide, modern, cost-effective, standardized and interoperable human resource solutions providing common core functionality to support the Strategic Management of Human Capital and addressing duplicative and redundant HR systems and processes across the Federal Government." The scope of the migration guidance is both organizational and functional. It applies to all customer agencies and public and private shared service providers. The major goals and objectives of HR LOB are outlined in the table below.
Improved Management of Human Capital Improve the Government wide Strategic Management of Human Capital
Operational Efficiencies Achieve or increase operational efficiencies in the acquisition, development, implementation and operation of human resources management systems
Cost Savings / Avoidance Achieve or increase cost savings/avoidance from HR solution activities
Improved Customer Service Improve customer services
The benefits of achieving the goals and objectives outlined above include:
The HR LOB governance structure establishes the oversight and development of the common solution(s) for the transformation of the Federal government from a duplicative, dispersed HR IT environment to a standardized solution or set of solutions characterized by interoperability, efficiency, and service excellence. The governance structure described below was developed to enable a competitive environment in which customer agencies have the option to choose from a public or private shared service center for their human resources functions (core and noncore) and to facilitate a seamless integration of HR solutions. It ensures that each federal agency has a voice in determining how the common solution(s) will be developed and implemented while enabling existing SSCs to participate in the process. The current governance structure of the HR LOB includes two tiers.
Figure 1: HR LOB Governance Structure
HR LOB published the Frequently Asked Questions document that covers the following issues:
The below questions pertain to migrations to SSCs and are taken directly from the HR LOB Frequently Asked Questions document.
The HR LOB has thus far selected six public sector SSCs to provide HR services for the Federal Government. These six SSCs are:
A panel composed of representatives from the MAESC agencies reviewed and qualified the current public sector SSCs.
OPM and GSA have partnered to establish and administer a schedule of private sector SSCs on Multiple Award Schedule 738.X, for which the Federal Acquisition Service at GSA is the responsible party. Currently, the schedule contains four private sector SSCs to provide HR services for the Federal Government. These four private sector SSCs are:
A panel composed of representatives from the MAESC agencies reviewed and qualified the current private sector SSCs. More information about the schedule and SSC offerings is available on GSA's website.
The HR LOB currently has six Federal agencies qualified as HR LOB SSCs and four Federal agencies qualified as e-Payroll providers. Three out of the four e-Payroll providers are also qualified as HR LOB SSCs. The Department of the Interior's National Business Center, the Department of Agriculture's National Finance Center, and the General Services Administration are all SSCs as well as e-Payroll providers. The remaining e-Payroll provider - The Department of Defense's Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) is an e-Payroll provider but is not an HR LOB SSC. In addition to the four e-Payroll providers, Accenture National Security Services in partnership with ADP, Allied Technology Group, Inc. in partnership with Ceridian, and Carahsoft Technology Corporation in partnership with Ceridian also offer payroll services.
Specific guidance for the SSC selection process and public-private competition is included in the Competition Framework section of this document.
The migration dates will depend on each agency. Migration decisions are made by the agency and should be based on the state of an agency's current HR systems and how imminently the agency needs to modernize or replace their systems. Each agency is expected to work closely with the HR LOB and OMB to determine its readiness for the selection of, and migration to an SSC.
The migration costs will be borne by the migrating agencies. Agencies should take this into consideration during their budget formulation process and coordinate their planning activities with OMB and OPM. More information is provided in Section 4 of this document.
It may be appropriate in the Assess, Define, Select, and Migrate phases documented in the Migration Roadmap to engage Labor Relations at the customer agency. In particular, it may be appropriate during activities around organizational readiness assessments, change management strategies and plans, and the identification and revision of job roles and responsibilities.

YouTube Purges Site of Warner Video
Google made another copyright-driven sweep of YouTube, pulling tens of thousands of videos down from the video-streaming site over the use of Warner's copyrighted music. The move is something of a step backward for YouTube, which recently had taken to simply muting soundtracks rather than pulling down entire videos.
YouTube and Warner had struck a deal last year allowing the site to host amateur videos that used music from the record company. Since then, however, negotiations have fallen through.
A Warner spokesperson told TG Daily: "We and our artists share the user community's frustration when content is unavailable. YouTube generates revenues from content posted by fans, which typically requires licenses from rights holders. Under the current process, we make YouTube aware of WMG content. Their content ID tool then takes down all unlicensed tracks, regardless of how they are used."
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has since taken issue with the electronic methods that YouTube uses to discover copyrighted content on its site. "These systems are still primitive and unable to distinguish a transformative remix from copyright infringement," the EFF wrote. "So unless they leave lots of breathing room for remixed content, these filters end up sideswiping lots of fair uses."Originally posted to AppScout.

I adore pancakes, there I said it. I love the classic thin crepe-y ones swimming in lemon and sugar, the fluffy American ones drowning in maple syrup with a side of bacon. I could live on pancakes alone and be a very happy (slightly malnourished) bunny.
I made these pancakes over the weekend as a special treat for myself, I had a frankly awful week last week which ended in me having a snotty splutter-y panic attack in Fenwicks and feeling rather sorry for myself (a story for another time perhaps) so i needed a little sugary pick me up to get me back to my usual happy self.
I don't make pancakes as often as I would like but I am the only person in my house who likes them so it often seems wasteful to make a large amount. I sometimes save leftover yorkshire pudding batter for a cheeky pancake or two...
I decided to make fluffy buttermilk pancakes this time but add a secret indulgent ingredient; Reeces Pieces. For those unfamiliar with these little pieces of peanut butter heaven they are an American creation of peanut butter wrapped in a sugar coating or shell. They are something I buy once in a while, normally as a reward or treat as they can be prices (£1.40) for such a small packet (imported).
Here is the recipe;
(Adapted from Rachel Allen's Home Cooking)
Makes about 10-15 small pancakes.
It really is as simple as mixing all the dry ingredients then adding the buttermilk and eggs and whisking until smooth. Foolproof.
Once you have the batter ready you can mix in whatever extras you fancy, chocolate chips, blueberries or other fruit, toffee pieces, the possibilities are endless!
You can even mix flavourings such as vanilla or cinnamon into the batter too!
I went for a packet of Reeses Pieces and a splash of vanilla.
The pancakes were amazing, light and fluffy and not too sickly but with peanut butter dotted about. The Reeces Pieces inevitable melted leaving pockets of yummy peanut butter in the pancake, the colour of the pieces ran into the pancake as a little clue as to where to find the peanut butter treasure!
Hope everyone has a fun pancake filled Shrove Tuesday, what type of pancakes are you making?

Hiwassee Ocoee State Park
Hiwassee/Ocoee Scenic River State Park was the first river managed in the State Scenic River program. A 23-river mile section, from the North Carolina to U.S. Hwy. 411 north of Benton, has been declared a Class III partially developed river. This stretch of river offers canoeing, rafting, fishing, hiking and nature photography. A scenic portion of the John Muir trail winds through the river gorge. Numerous public access sites provide boat launch ramps.
Floating the Hiwassee:
Based on the International Scale of river difficulty the Hiwassee State Scenic River is primarily Class I (moving water with small waves, few obstructions) and Class II (easy rapids with wide, clear channels; some maneuvering required). Certain sections may be considered Class III (rapids with high waves capable of swamping an open canoe; requires complex maneuvering).
The Ocoee
Middle Ocoee: The Middle Ocoee is almost a continuous whitewater experience from the Put-In at Rogers Branch until the Take-Out at Caney Creek. The flow level can vary between 1200 and 1800 cubic feet per second (CFS). The whitewater section from the wooden diversion dam to Ocoee No. 2 Powerhouse has an average drop of 54 feet per mile and is considered a Class III and IV river. When taking a rafting trip on this section of the river approximate time on the water is 2 hours.
The Upper Ocoee:The Upper Ocoee River experience begins at Ocoee No. 3 Dam, where the river runs parallel with the historic 'Old Copper Road', at this starting section of the river you will encounter Class II whitewater and seclusion in the wilderness. The whitewater excitement continues with the thrilling Olympic whitewater section of the Ocoee River where you will encounter Class IV whitewater.
Hiwassee/Ocoee Scenic River State Park is also a popular fishing stream and anglers of all ages enjoy fine catches of large-mouth bass, yellow perch, catfish and brown and rainbow trout. The latter two species are stocked by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.
For more information, please contact the park directly at 423-263-0050.

Fast food is loaded with salt. This should come at no surprise. What is surprising, however, is that the same menu items often have different salt levels depending on where they're served.
According to Scientific American:
U.S. dishes from six chains (Burger King, Domino's, Kentucky Fried Chicken, McDonald's, Pizza Hut and Subway) generally contained more salt (both per overall serving and per 100 grams of food) than the same menu items in Australia, France, New Zealand and the U.K.
Neck and neck with the U.S., however, was Canada. One of the widest disparities in salt content was found between different countries' chicken nuggets. A serving of McDonald's nuggets in the U.K. packs 0.6 grams of salt, or 240 milligrams of sodium. In the U.S., the amount jumps to 1.5 grams (600 mg); in canada it leaps to 1.7 grams (680 mg).
As a point of reference, the Mayo Clinic says the recommended daily value for sodium is 2,400 mg; the World Health Organization, on the other hand, recommends consuming no more than 2,000 mg on a daily basis.
According to the University of Calgary's Norman Campbell — who worked on the study and is an active member of the World Action on Salt and Health — it's unclear why these variations in salt levels exist, though it's possible that they're linked to the U.K. government's decision to set voluntary salt-reduction "targets" for the packaged food industry.
"Although some differences are to be expected," write Campbell and his colleagues in the latest issue of the Canadian Medial Association Journal, "there is a clear opportunity for widespread reformulation of products toward the lower end of the rang of salt content."
McDonald's, for one, seem up to the task. "We have already reduced sodium by 10 percent in the majority of our national chicken menu offerings in the U.S. — most recently Chicken McNuggets — a Happy Meal favorite," a spokesperson told Reuters. "Sodium reductions will continue across the menu and by 2015, we will reduce sodium an average of 15 percent across our national menu of food choices."
Read more about this study over on SciAm and Reuters.

|Attackers Kill Eight in Restive Northeast Nigeria
|[An Nahar] Attackers killed eight people in a village in northern Nigeria's embattled Borno state, with at least some of the victims' throats slit, officials and residents said Monday.
The military front man in the area, Lt. Col. Sagir Musa, confirmed that an attack had occurred Sunday in the village of Gajiganna, but declined to comment on the manner in which people were killed, saying only that "lives were lost."
Gajiganna is roughly 50 kilometers (30 miles) from the state capital of Maiduguri, the base of Islamist krazed killer group Boko Haram
... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
, but it was not clear who was responsible for the latest violence.
"They were silent attacks and nobody knew what was happening until the morning when news began to filter from different neighborhoods," said resident Brah Chindo.
There were conflicting reports from the area, with some saying certain victims were shot and others had their throats slit, while others spoke of all eight with their throats slit.
"It is still not clear who carried out the attack because the attackers moved silently into these homes," said a local official, who asked that his name be withheld.
A local government employee in the area said he was told that "some of the victims were rubbed out in their houses while others were dragged out of their houses by the gunnies, after which they slit their throats."
He added that "eight people were killed altogether."
In a text message, military front man Musa said the corpse count "is yet to be ascertained".

If you received a new telescope over the holidays, you're probably eager to put it to use. This week's first quarter moon is the perfect place to start.
For beginners, the moon is the brightest object in the sky other than the sun, so is an easy stargazing catch. Many people who buy telescopes are lost when trying to find targets in the sky. They've read so much and seen so many pictures, but haven't any idea how to actually find things in the sky.
But some readers may ask: Why target the first quarter moon? There are actually two reasons.
The first quarter moon is perfectly placed in the early evening sky. A week earlier and it was too close to the sun. A week later, and you would need to stay up late to see it. That's because the moon orbits the Earth, causing it to rise about 50 minutes later each night. First quarter is the "just right" point in its orbit for convenient viewing.
Secondly, the sun will be hitting the moon from the best angle to emphasize the moon's rugged terrain. The sun will be rising over the center of the moon's disk, casting huge shadows of even the smallest topographic features. This is what photographers call dramatic lighting. [How to Photograph the Moon (A Photo Guide)]
Here are more tips to make the most of your moon-gazing night:
Get your telescope ready
If you are new to telescopes, take some time to assemble yours carefully, and practice using it in daylight. It probably came with more than one eyepiece. Choose the one with the longest focal length, probably 20 or 25 mm. If your telescope is a refractor or a Cassegrain, you probably will need to insert a diagonal between the eyepiece and the telescope, a small L-shaped optical device. If your telescope came with a Barlow lens, set that aside for now.
Take off the lens cap, all of it. This may sound dumb, but many small telescopes come with a two-part lens cap, like a doughnut and its hole. Many beginners make the mistake of removing the hole but not the doughnut, and don't understand why everything looks so dark.
You will probably need to align the small finder scope with the main telescope. Point the telescope at something at least a quarter mile away: a chimney or a telephone pole. Then adjust the small screws on the finder so that the same object is centered in the finder. It's important to adjust the finder to the telescope, not the other way around.
Bundle Up
It will be colder outside than you expect, even in a warm climate, so dress warmly. Be sure you have a comfortable seat. You will see a lot more in you are seated comfortably at the eyepiece.
Find the moon in the telescope
This may not be as easy as it sounds, especially if your telescope is on an equatorial mount rather than the Dobsonian mount we often recommend for beginners. No sooner than you find the moon, it will speedily move out of view.
The moon itself is moving slowly around the Earth, but most of this movement is caused by the rotation of the Earth. Some telescopes are equipped with motors and slow motion controls to help track the moon. You will need to master these before you can comfortably track the moon in the telescope eyepiece.

What to look for
The moon is a rich world, full of familiar and unfamiliar things to look at. Concentrate on the terminator, the line that separates light from dark. The sun is just rising along the terminator, throwing even the smallest irregularities in the lunar surface into high relief. Adjust the focus carefully so that the detail is sharp. You will find this a tricky process at first, but soon will get the hang of it. [The Moon's Phases in 2013 (Video)]
Be aware of what direction the sun is shining from. Directions through the eyepiece are confusing at first, because your telescope's optical system will flip the image in unexpected ways. Astronomers soon get used to this, but it can be very confusing at first.
The mountains and plains on the moon will seem very familiar from similar topography on Earth.
The most surprising features for most beginners are the moon's many craters. There are similar craters on Earth, scars from meteor falls in the distant past, but most are covered up by vegetation and erosion. On the moon, these scars are laid bare, as fresh as the day they formed, often millions or billions of years ago. Some craters have flat floors, where lava has flowed to a level surface. Others have terraced walls, the mighty impacts which formed them still revealed in the rays of the rising sun.
You may want to experiment with more magnification, using a different eyepiece, but stick with a low-power view for now. Changing eyepieces usually results in needing to center the moon again and refocus. This may prove frustrating until you become more comfortable with the telescope's controls.
It's amazing how much you can see, even at low magnification, because the moon is so close. Even your lowest magnification is probably more magnification than Galileo had with his first telescope.
Take some time to watch what happens as the sun rises over the moon's surface. Because the sun is very low close to the terminator, the shadows can change strikingly in only a few minutes of viewing.

Big Rapids, Mich. - The Ferris State University men's basketball team put together perhaps its most dominating performance of the season as the Bulldogs rolled to a 90-68 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) road win over Saginaw Valley State on Saturday (Feb. 22) night in University Center, Mich.
Sophomore center Jared Stolicker scored the Bulldogs' first eight points of the game in helping FSU off to a hot start and the Bulldogs never trailed after his second basket only one minute into the game gave Ferris State an early 4-3 edge.
FSU pushed the margin to nine points at halftime, 44-35, and quickly pushed the advantage to 18 points only five minutes into the second frame. The lead grew to as many as 29 points at one stage with nearly four minutes to play as the Bulldogs cruised down the stretch en route to the victory.
Five Ferris State players reached double-figure scoring in the decisive victory with sophomore guard Jibreel Jackson scoring a game-high 19 points. He hit seven-of-nine shots from the floor and added three assists in 33 minutes of action.
Jackson was joined in double-digits by junior guard Drew Lehman with 17 points. Stolicker finished with 14 points on the night, junior guard Dietrich Lever added 11 points and senior forward Raymoan McAfee netted 10 points off the bench. Meanwhile, sophomore forward Josh Fleming nearly reached double-figures with nine points in the game and FSU also received six points from junior Matt Poches along with four by junior forward Matt Stoll as eight players all played 16 minutes or more.
A young Saginaw Valley State team stayed close early in the first half behind the play of freshman C.J. Turnage, who scored a team-high 14 points but played only 21 minutes after picking up three fouls. Another freshman, Caleb Davis, added 12 points off the bench and a third rookie, Garrett Hall, totaled 10 points for SVSU.
Ferris State shot 57.8% from the floor for the game and hit 63.3% of its field goals in the second half. FSU also sank eight-of-18 three's (44.4%), which helped offset a eight-of-18 (44.4%) showing at the free throw line.
Meanwhile, the Cardinals shot 50% overall and were seven-of-22 (31.8%) from downtown along with 13-of-20 (65%) at the stripe.
Stolicker grabbed a game-best eight rebounds to help FSU own the glass as the Bulldogs pulled down 38 boards to only 24 for Saginaw Valley State. Ferris State also had 13 offensive boards and gave up only four caroms on the offensive end, helping FSU post a 17-7 margin in second chance production.
Along with Stolicker, Ferris State received seven rebounds from Fleming and eight of the nine FSU players who saw action had at least two rebounds in a balanced victory.
FSU also took care of the basketball throughout the game despite an up-tempo attack that generated 90 points as the Bulldogs had only four turnovers for the game. They also forced 12 Saginaw Valley State miscues and came up with four steals to only two for the hosts. Ferris State outscored SVSU 16-4 in points off turnovers.
Offensively, the Bulldogs dished out 16 assists, which included five from Lever to go with four by Lehman and three from Jackson. SVSU netted 14 assists with Kellen Smith garnering five and Vincent Adams distributing four.
Ferris State outscored SVSU 46-33 over the final 20 minutes in a game that was tied only once and featured only two lead changes, including none after the opening minute of the initial half.
With the win, the Bulldogs have now won two in a row and three of their last five overall. They improved to 9-15 overall and 8-12 in GLIAC play with the victory. SVSU fell to 9-15 overall and 5-15 in conference action with the setback in the 88th all-time series' matchup.
Ferris State returns home for its final two contests of the season next week inside FSU's Jim Wink Arena. FSU hosts archrival Grand Valley State on Thursday (Feb. 27) night in an 8 p.m. (ET) clash in Big Rapids before playing host to Saginaw Valley State in a rematch on Saturday (March 1) starting at 3 p.m. (ET) in the season finale.

"A thousand sharpened elbows in the underground..." A tongue-in-cheek homage to Winnipeg, my home, my love. Cold and beautiful!
This gradient is icy blue to snirt and is hand dyed using professional colourfast dyes.
This yarn will come as pictured, wound into a cake. *If you are ordering more than one cake for a project, please indicate in the comments section if you would like the total yardage dyed one long gradient or if you want each separate ball their own gradient.*
For best results hand wash in cold water, dry flat in shade. Although all yarn is completely washed and rinsed before labeling, exposing the yarn to warm or hot water may cause the yarn to bleed color. Wash your finished garment carefully before wearing.
Great care has been taken to represent colours accurately, but colours do vary monitor to monitor depending upon monitor settings. The photos are of previous yarns dyed in this colourway. The yarn you order may differ slightly due to fibre content and typical hand dyeing charm!

Possible Solutions
Does your water filter need to be replaced?
A clogged or incorrectly installed water filter will reduce the water flow to the ice maker, which will result in thin ice cubes or low ice production. If the refrigerator has a water dispenser, check for a problem with the filter by doing the following:
- Dispense water using the water dispenser and note the amount of water flow.
- Remove the filter. The filter is located either in the base grille or inside the refrigerator compartment.
- Dispense water with the filter removed. If the water flow noticeably increases, the filter is either clogged or incorrectly installed. A clogged filter will need to be replaced in order to correct the low flow.
To purchase water filters, visit EveryDropWater.com. Their filter selection tool will help you identify the right filter for your refrigerator or icemaker.
