How to deal with The Professionals Dilemma
Finally a solution to the professionals dilemma ...
There is a problem professionals suffer from. The more successful and senior you get, the more responsibility and busier you get. The busier you get the harder it is to keep on top of the latest research, thinking and ideas. Indeed what happens is that development becomes largely dependent on your own experience and chance exposure to new ideas and thinking.
Whether you are an experienced Leader, Manager, Human Resources, Learning and Development or Organisational Development professional or a Coach or Consultant, you face the same problem. A problem faced by professionals around the world.
You understand that your credibility and authority depends on knowing your stuff, having great ideas, being able to think 'outside the box' and being able to clearly communicate your knowledge, thinking and ideas to others. You also know that credibility is based on having a fairly constant supply of ideas and crucially being right up-to-date with the latest thinking, research evidence and viewpoints.
And, THAT is the No.1 challenge faced every day by professionals just like you. How to stay completely up-to-date, relevant and sane!
The problem is that many of the very latest ideas, research and thinking come from research and are hidden away in research journals and papers. With more than 78,000 new academic research papers published every month, it's not surprising that many professionals struggle to find out what the latest thinking and finding are let alone keep up.
It's clearly an impossible task to plough through hundreds of thousands of pages of content in an effort to keep abreast of the latest ideas, thinking and research.
Then there is the language academics use....
But, there is some good news, in fact some very good news - read on.
Because it's a daunting (read impossible) task to sift through the masses of available information to glean relevant and current intelligence, most professionals don't even bother trying. As they are busy they tend stick with what they know and pick things up as they go along without any real plan or strategy.
This has two distinct consequences:
But, this is great news for you. Why so?
Well, imagine if you could find an effortless way to just know what the very latest cutting research, thinking and tools are. The very information your peers are failing to keep on top of.
Think about that for just a moment. How much of an edge would being completely up to date with latest thinking and research give you? How much would that skyrocket your credibility?
This leads us to the next problem professional have, especially at senior levels...
The very latest tools, ideas and research.
Get real evidence to guide and inform your practice.
Develop yourself and your organisation with ease.
It's all very well saying keep-up-to-date but how do you do that and stay sane?
There is just so much stuff out there. Information is coming at us from just about every direction, emails, blogs, magazines, TV, our own professional associations, journals etc. etc.
Smart professionals have a system
The trouble is, when people feel overwhelmed they tend to disengage. Disengaging from the outside world is tantamount to professional suicide, especially for people at your level.
It isn't the the amount of information that creates information overload, it is the lack of a good system to filter and organise the information that create the sense of overload and overwhelm. Your credibility depends on being up-to-date and relevant. True professional have a system to ensure that they stay well-informed with the latest thinking, tools and ideas without becoming overwhelmed.
So, what exactly is The Oxford Review?
In 2015 author, researcher, lecturer and consultant Dr. David Wilkinson was busy writing his latest book and needed to do two things:
78,000 research papers are published every month
He knew that the world's research is held in 847 separate research databases spread around the world. As a researcher he also knew just how time consuming searching for research in any particular topic can be. With over 78,000 academic research papers published every month keeping up-to-date is no easy task.
An advanced algorithm
Using advanced technology he wrote a bespoke mathematical algorithm, to continually scan all the latest research, thinking and ideas published about human and organisational development worldwide and bring the results to him so that he knew when anything new was published.
In order to keep in touch with his clients, colleagues and friends we would email short research up-date to them whilst he was locked away writing.
Then as the pace of the writing increased he stopped sending out the emails.
"I started getting emails from people pleading with me to keep sending the research briefing emails to them as they found them so useful. This was the last thing I wanted at the time - a distraction" David explains
However once David had finished writing he started to play with different formats to make use of the new search algorithm for others.
An idea develops - A system is born
After playing with a range of formats and engaging some really bright minds in Oxford, a brilliant system was developed that makes professionals the most impressively well-informed and ridiculously up-to-date with the very latest thinking, ideas, tools and research evidence.
Get the latest ideas, thinking, research and tools as they are published - not months or years later
The clever updating system that will make you the most impressively well-informed, up-to-date and relevant professional around and no information overload.
See what some of our customers have to say:
....ask someone who gets it
I use the Oxford Review to keep my team up-to-date with the latest thinking. We all find it really useful on a day-to-day basis. It is quite amazing how many times something comes up during the work day where we find ourselves quoting or using a piece of research you have sent me. It has got to the stage where my team are expected to have a contribution on just about anything. It has certainly boosted the role and value of HR in the company.
It is just invaluable to me in my role. There is no where else I could get such up-to-date research findings and just about every single one is right on target as far as I am concerned. If the Oxford Review had life membership I would sign up in a heartbeat.
At first I got the review for my own personal development. It has been so useful that I now have subscriptions for every single one of my managers. I would say that there isn't a month that goes by that we don't collectively discuss at least one of the articles.
Everyone in the department gets the Oxford Review. The briefings are fascinating and really easy to understand. We all use them. I use them in my training sessions. They are great for starting discussions and running training sessions around. I am often emailing the weekly briefings out to people in the organisation. They are a very good resource for all of us, in fact I don't know of anyone on the team who doesn't use them.
At first I thought this was just another Harvard Business Review. How wrong was I? It is the most up-to-date look at research that really has just been published and most importantly just about every article is useful and makes me think. The BIG plus though is that on it's own The Oxford Review forms the basis of our evidence based practice. I wouldn't be without it now.
I came across The Oxford Review through my daughter. She kept showing me articles and briefings all of which were exceptionally useful to running a business so I got a subscription. At the price it's a real steal. From my point of view it has given me the most up-to-date knowledge about what we should be doing. I have just bought a subscription for each of my managers, including my HR manager. I suppose it would be correct to say that your review is now at the backbone of this company. Keep up the good work.

Investors may be tracking historical Gordson Hollis Price Index Saturation levels on shares of Montage Resources Corp (MR). After a recent review, the reading is currently E (Empy). Gordon Hollis created the Price Index Saturation indicator in 1998. Over the years, the theory has garnered an almost cult following in the trading community. The Gordson Hollis Price Index Saturation or Gordson Hollis PIS level indicator uses a combination of volume continuity analysis and historical price deviation to create a discernable buy or sell signal. Gordson Hollis labeled these signals (full and empty). Gordson Hollis has argued that the only logical way to approach the stock market is to study PIS levels. When presenting the theory, Gordson Hollis believed that PIS levels were best grouped in what he labeled (bouget) "Bauquets". Hollis tried to prove that certain PIS Bauquets could essentially hold all the keys to beating (making a huge splash) the stock market.
In looking at recent price history, Montage Resources Corp (MR) have been trending lower over the past five bars, revealing bearish momentum for the shares, as they ran -2.50% for the week. Looking further out we note that the shares have moved -18.58% over the past 4-weeks, -43.86% over the past half year and -56.87% over the past full year.
Investors who are new to picking stocks may find themselves tempted to buy shares that have been recently rising the most. Although the traditional advice is to buy low and sell high, novice investors often do just the opposite. Buying a particular stock just because it has been rising recently may end up leaving the investor shaking their head down the road. Expecting that a stock will continue to ride the wave higher can lead to disappointment when momentum suddenly shifts. Studying the fundamentals of a certain company can help the investor gauge if the stock is a worthy buy at current levels.
Investors may be tracking certain levels on shares of Montage Resources Corp (MR). The current 50-day Moving Average is 20.15, the 200-day Moving Average is 24.40, and the 7-day is noted at 14.02. Moving averages can help spot trends and price reversals. They may also be used to help find support or resistance levels. Moving averages are considered to be lagging indicators meaning that they confirm trends. A certain stock may be considered to be on an uptrend if trading above a moving average and the average is sloping upward. On the other side, a stock may be considered to be in a downtrend if trading below the moving average and sloping downward.
Traders may be relying in part on technical stock analysis. Montage Resources Corp (MR) currently has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of -110.90. Despite the name, CCI can be used on other investment tools such as stocks. The CCI was designed to typically stay within the reading of -100 to +100. Traders may use the indicator to determine stock trends or to identify overbought/oversold conditions. A CCI reading above +100 would imply that the stock is overbought and possibly ready for a correction. On the other hand, a reading of -100 would imply that the stock is oversold and possibly set for a rally.
At the time of writing, the 14-day ADX for Montage Resources Corp (MR) is 59.37. Many technical chart analysts believe that an ADX value over 25 would suggest a strong trend. A reading under 20 would indicate no trend, and a reading from 20-25 would suggest that there is no clear trend signal. The ADX is typically plotted along with two other directional movement indicator lines, the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI). Some analysts believe that the ADX is one of the best trend strength indicators available.
When examining current stock market levels, investors who have been staying on the sidelines may be wondering if now is a good time to get back into the ring. Nobody can say for sure if momentum will continue to push to the upside, and investors may be overly cautious at this stage. Studying company financials and paying attention to pertinent economic data can help the investor make more educated decisions when it comes to the stock market. It is obviously very hard for a new investor to become highly successful in the stock market right out of the gate. Doing all the homework and dedicating the proper amount of time can help the investor get on the right track to accumulating profits down the road.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is one of multiple popular technical indicators created by J. Welles Wilder. Wilder introduced RSI in his book "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems" which was published in 1978. RSI measures the magnitude and velocity of directional price movements. The data is represented graphically by fluctuating between a value of 0 and 100. The indicator is computed by using the average losses and gains of a stock over a certain time period. RSI can be used to help spot overbought or oversold conditions. An RSI reading over 70 would be considered overbought, and a reading under 30 would indicate oversold conditions. A level of 50 would indicate neutral market momentum. The 14-day RSI is currently sitting at 25.13, the 7-day is at 27.25, and the 3-day is spotted at 23.18 for Montage Resources Corp (MR).

The study, a review of 323 articles published last year in leading medical journals, found that only 147 of the clinical trials — 45.5 percent — were properly registered before the end of the trial in a way that clearly stated the main outcomes being assessed. Even among the articles that were registered, almost a third had discrepancies between the outcomes described in the registry and the ones ultimately reported.
Of the trials that were not registered properly, 89 — more than half — were never entered in the Εθνικά Ινστιτούτα Υγείας'S clinical trials registry. The report appears in the Sept. 2 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association.
"We're asking people to tell readers honestly and transparently, 'What did you do, and what did you find?' " said an author of the paper, David Moher, senior scientist at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute in Canada.
Dr. Moher added that bias could easily be introduced when investigators changed the primary outcome they were measuring — moving the goalpost, so to speak. That might happen, for example, if a clinical trial is designed to determine whether a drug increases survival rates but investigators change the primary outcome to assessing if the drug improves quality of life.

Electronic Arts on Tuesday officially launched , the long-awaited first game under its partnership with Steven Spielberg. It is now available in North America, and EA plans to have it on shelves in Europe on May 8, in Asia on May 13, and in Japan on May 22.
The first details about the game, which is from EA's casual games unit, were released in February. Now, the game, which will be available only on Nintendo's Wii and on major carriers' mobile phones, is out and the world can finally see what happens when you put someone like Spielberg together with top-level game designers at a company like EA.
Boom Blox will task players with navigating nearly 400 levels of "strategic destruction."
In addition, players will be able to use the game's editor to craft their own levels. The best part of this sounds like it will be the way the editor lets players take existing levels and elements from the game--props, characters, blocks, etc.--and incorporate them into all-new levels.
Essentially, Boom Blox is a strategy game that confronts players with no end of puzzles and challenges, all of which they can solve in single-player or multiplayer modes.
The game will cost $50.
It's smart that the game is coming out on the Wii, because it will give EA a chance to leverage the huge Wii install base, and it's likely that its casual nature will appeal to the many owners of Nintendo's hit console.
But the game also gives EA a chance to see how much value Spielberg's name brings when trying to market a new game. Spielberg, of course, has been behind other video games in the past for many of his films, but this is the first time he has entered into such a close working relationship with a publisher on the creation of all-new titles.
EA has said the partnership arrangement--which was first made public in 2005--is for at least three games, and the next one will be for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
The Lion King remake brings renewed life to a Disney classic: Jon Favreau's version offers incredibly lifelike characters, but at what cost?

Design for Living (1933)
Two American expatriates in Paris, best friends Tom Chambers (Frederic March) and George Curtis (Gary Cooper), meet beautiful fellow American, Gilda Farrell (Miriam Hopkins), on a train. Tom is a struggling playwright. George is a struggling painter. Gilda is a commercial artist with wit to spare, strong opinions about life and art, and an independent streak a mile wide.
Soon both Tom and George are in love with Gilda, and Gilda is in love with both Tom and George, much to the chagrin of her boss and admirer Max Plunkett (Edward Everett Horton). Tom and George secretly make love to Gilda behind each others' backs. When the truth about that comes out, the fun really begins.
A thing happened to me that usually happens to men. You see, a man can meet two, three, or even four women and fall in love with all of them, and then by a process of interesting elimination he's able to decide which one he prefers. But a woman must decide purely on instinct, guesswork, if she wants to be considered nice. Oh, it's quite all right for her to try on a hundred hats before she picks one out…
Rather than risk losing either of them and not wanting to ruin Tom and George's long friendship by coming between them, Gilda suggests an unorthodox arrangement. She will move into the run-down bohemian garret the boys share, providing them both with encouragement and criticism for their work. She will be a "mother of the arts." There's only one proviso – there must be no sex involved. The three make a "gentleman's agreement" that they will keep things platonic.
Gilda is true to her word. She pushes George and Tom to pursue their art, at times encouraging them and at times criticizing them mercilessly. She uses her moxy to make sure the right people know about George's paintings and about Tom's play, Goodnight Bassington: a comedy in about three acts with a tragic ending. (Ha! I wish I could see that one.)
Soon, thanks to Gilda's help, Tom's play is set to be produced on the London stage. He reluctantly parts ways with Gilda and George, planning to see them in five weeks at the play's premiere. Being alone together proves to be too much temptation for George and Gilda, however, and the two are soon throwing over the gentleman's agreement and moving in alone together to pursue their passion. Tom is heartbroken when he hears the news in a letter from George and Gilda, just days before Goodnight Bassington's premiere.
Nearly a year later, Tom returns to Paris. When he visits Gilda and George's apartment, George is out of town. There is still a lot of sexual attraction between Gilda and Tom, and they spend a passionate night together before George comes home unexpectedly early the next day.
Once again Gilda has come between the two friends, and this time she tries to spare them from the destruction of their friendship by running away to marry Max Plunkett. Max is all business and no passion, and soon Gilda is bored out of her mind by the endless dinner parties at which she is forced to play "20 Questions" and other idiotic parlor games with Max's advertising clients.
Luckily Tom and George return from China, where they've been off licking their wounds, and rescue her. They all decide they'll give it another try as a threesome, moving back into their old garret apartment. There's just one thing – no sex. It'll be a gentleman's agreement. And so it begins again.
Though it was based on Noel Coward's play of the same name, little of the original play remains in the movie version of Design for Living. Just one line is the same, in fact. Gone are the hints of homosexual attraction between Tom and George. Also gone is Noel Coward's particular brand of English wit. In its place is a delightful combination of the sassy, fast-talking American style of Ben Hecht's screenplay with director Ernst Lubitsch's European sophistication.
The performances are all top-notch. Frederic March and Gary Cooper are very funny, especially together. The scene in which they drown their sorrows after Gilda ditches them both is easily one of most amusing drunk scenes I've seen anywhere. The two actors have a marvelous rapport and make it easy to believe that Tom and George have been friends for many years. March is great as the more cerebral, verbally witty of the two. Cooper displays a gift for light comedy as the slightly less bright but more sexily "barbaric" George.
Most sparkling of all is Miriam Hopkins' Gilda. If it had been played differently, the character could've been unlikeable – a flirtatious, loose woman toying with the affections of two men. (Three if you count Max Plunkett, though it's hard to care too much about the feelings of a man who goes around saying things like "Immorality may be fun, but it isn't fun enough to take the place of one hundred percent virtue and three square meals a day!")
But Hopkins makes Gilda very likeable. You understand why Tom and George are both so taken with her. She's flirty and fun, but also passionate and serious when it's called for. She's sexually free and not ashamed of it, but she never comes across as a floozy at all. You can understand and empathize with Gilda's inability to choose between these two talented, ridiculously attractive men, both of whom she genuinely loves. She's honest with both of them and doesn't play games.
Plus, Gilda is very, very funny. Miriam Hopkins' delivery of her lines is deliciously sharp and zingy. She is a great physical comedienne in the role as well, throwing herself dramatically onto dusty settees, gesturing wildly with her small, expressive hands while arguing with Max.
Now listen, Plunkett, Incorporated. You go to those customers of yours and give 'em a sales talk. Sell them anything you want, but not me. I'm fed up with underwear, cement, linoleum, I'm sick of being a trademark married to a slogan! Don't you tell 'em I've got hiccups. Tell them I've got the advertising blues. The billboard collywobbles! Slogans and sales talks morning, noon, and night, and not one human sound out of you and your whole flock of Egelbauers!
(Is that Ben Hecht or is that Ben Hecht? Love it!)
Gilda Farrell is supposed to be from Fargo, North Dakota, but Miriam Hopkins was from Georgia and hearing her deliver her feisty dialogue with the hint of a Southern accent in her voice is completely adorable throughout the film.
Sometimes pre-code movies can still surprise me with just how racy they are. Of course by the standards of our depressingly vulgar times Design for Living seems fairly tame. But the frank sexuality of the characters, especially Gilda, with her ideas about trying on multiple "hats" before buying them, is impossible to imagine in a post-code movie. Sometimes when watching classic films it's easy to imagine that nobody before the 1960s knew what sex even was. Pre-code movies take those illusions away pretty quickly.
I highly, highly recommend this movie. It's witty, silly, quotable, scandalous, and thought-provoking when it comes to the topics of romance, art and friendship. Most of all, it's just plain fun.

Welcome to the Asia Stocks live blog, a running account of what the region's share markets are doing, along with other news. Today, Japanese and Australian markets are open, though most of the other majors are closed to honor May 1 International Workers Day. Still, the data counters in China toil anyway, releasing relatively strong monthly manufacturing data.
6:45 am | Japan rises up on earnings, while Australia down on banks | by Laura He
Japan markets rallied on upbeat corporate earnings on Thursday, while miners and financial stocks led Australia's benchmark stock index lower.
In Japan, the Nikkei Average ended up 1.3%, and the Topix index settled 1.7% higher. IT giant Fujitsu jumped 6.3%, after it swung back to profit for the fiscal year to March 2014. Nomura Holdings , Japan's largest securities firm, also climbed 6.3%, as its earnings doubled to 213.6 billion yen ($2.1 billion) for the year ended March. Smaller rival Daiwa Securities Group gained 3.1%, after its net income more than doubled to 169.5 billion yen for last year, although its fourth-quarter profit declined for the first time in nine quarters.
Electronics giant Sony Corp. ended 1% higher. After the markets closed, the company said it expects a wider loss for the just-ended fiscal year as the cost of disposing its PC business weighed on the company as a whole.
Meanwhile, the Japanese yen was flat against the dollar and traded at ¥102.21, compared with ¥102.25 in the prior session.
In Australia, banks and miners dragged the markets lower, with the S&P/ASX 200 closing down 0.7%.
Australia and New Zealand Banking Group dropped 1.2%, despite posting a 15% rise in net income for the six months ending March 31. Meanwhile, National Australia Bank was down 1.7%, Westpac Banking Corp. was off 1.2%, and Commonwealth Bank of Australia moved lower by 0.3%.
Mining companies suffered a selloff as iron ore prices fell sharply. Fortescue Metals Group tumbled 4%, Alumina lost 2.2%, Rio Tinto gave up 1.5%, and BHP Billiton pulled back 0.7%.
Other major markets in the region were closed for public holidays, including Hong Kong, mainland China, South Korea, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines.

12:51 am | Terror attack mars holiday in China's Xinjiang | by Laura He
It's the start of a three-day holiday in China, but focus for much of country is on news of a bombing and another mass stabbing attack at a train station, killing 3 people and injuring nearly 80.
The incident took place in China's restive northwestern region of Xinjiang, and follows an even more traumatic attack at a train station in the southern city of Kunming where 11 assailants with knives stabbed more than 160 people, leaving 33 dead and more than 130 injured.
Chinese authorities said the previous Kunming attack -- sometimes referred to as "China's 9/11"-- was carried out by separatist terrorists from Xinjiang region.
China's state Xinhua News Agency said the Tuesday incident at Urumuqi's train station was a "seriously violent terrorist attack," with the assailants stabbing holiday travelers and then detonating the explosion device. The state media didn't elaborate on who might be responsible.
The incident drew anger on China's social media, as well as comments of concern about the safety of traveling during this week's Worker's Day holiday period.

10:17 pm | Sinking in Sydney | by Mike Kitchen
Bears have the upper hand in Sydney this morning, with (another) sharp drop for iron-ore prices sending miners' share prices deeper into the hole.
With the S&P/ASX 200 down 0.5%, we have BHP Billiton off 0.6%, Rio Tinto lower by 1.2%, and among the iron-focused names, Fortescue Metals down 3.2%, and Atlas Iron down 2.5%. Yet, Mount Gibson Iron is up 1.4%, possibly buoyed by a board shake-up, reducing the number of directors representing major shareholders to two from three.
Among the heavily weighted banks, ANZ seemed poised for gains after its earnings and dividend came in just ahead of estimates. But no such luck: ANZ shares are lower by 1%, while among its peers, NAB is down 1.2%, Westpac is down 1%, and CBA is flat.
And then there's Woolworths, extending losses by another 2%. Dow Jones Newswires is attributing the further weakness to a ratings downgrade from Deutsche Bank to hold from buy, likely based on the sales figures that helped sink the stock yesterday.
9:36 pm | China factories on the rebound | by Mike Kitchen
It's official: China's official monthly manufacturing gauge officially ticked higher last month, rising to 50.4 from 50.3 in March.
Granted, it's not a huge jump — not as big as the gain witnessed in HSBC's preliminary results for its own manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index, which rose to 48.3 from 48 though remaining below the 50 level separating growth from contraction. (HSBC's final version of the PMI is due out next Monday.)
But details of the official PMI were relatively bullish, with the subindex for new orders rising to 51.2 from 50.6, for instance.
Chinese stock markets are closed for May Day, but we did see a reaction from the Australian dollar, often sensitive to economic news out of Australia's top trading partner. The Aussie rose to 92.99 U.S. cents (but failed to cross the 93 level), after having bought 92.86 U.S. cents at the time the numbers came out.
9:22 pm | Markets check -- 10:22 a.m. in Tokyo
Tokyo (Nikkei Average) up 0.6%
Sydney (S&P/ASX 200) down 0.4%
9:08 pm | Japan rallies the old-fashioned way: It earns it | by Mike Kitchen
Japanese stocks are on the march this morning —at this point, we have the Nikkei Average up 0.8%, and the Topix 1.1% higher.
While helped by the overnight advance on Wall Street, Tokyo's gains ignore a modest appreciation of the yen (dollar at ¥102.27 vs. ¥102.47 at yesterday's close), focusing instead on some upbeat earnings news.
Among the big gainers, Fujitsu is 6.8% higher after returning to profit in the fiscal year that ended last month. Likewise, Nomura is 5,1% higher and Daiwa Securities is up 3.1% as the two brokers set multi-year records for their annual profit (Nomura had the best in 8 years, while Daiwa was the best in 24 years, though the latter saw earnings drop in the January-March quarter due to a weak stock market.)
Other financials also traded broadly higher, with Mitsubishi UFJ up 2%, Mizuho Financial Group up 1.5%, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group up 2.1%, and among the smaller names, Bank of Yokohama up 1.4%, and Shinsei up 2%.
Toyota Motor is enjoying a 1.3% rise after a Nikkei news article tipped the company to post a 70% rise in annual operating profit. Still, it's not the top gainer for the major autos — that honor belongs to Honda, up 1.5%, with the gains coming as the car maker says it will delay construction of a new Thai assembly plant.
Meanwhile, the top winners this morning appear to be the utilities, enjoying a strong wave of buying after some better-than-expected financial results. Hokkaido Electric Power Co. is rocking a more-than-12% rally after cutting its fiscal-year loss in half, while Kansai Electric Power Co. is up 7.5% — its loss widened, but it tipped a swing to profit for the current year.
In the same vein, Tokyo Electric Power Co. is up 2.1% (it posted a profit for the first time in four years), while Shikoku Electric Power Co.is 4.2% higher, thanks to a sharply smaller loss.
And rounding out the earnings-inspired stock-climb are the shippers: Mitsui O.S.K. is 4% higher, and rival Nippon Yusen KK is up 2.9%, with the market giving a thumbs-up to their results and outlook as economic recovery takes hold.

According to ACER, you don't need to have a degree in any one particular subject to be eligible to sit for the GAMSAT. Students from all streams (Humanities or the Sciences) can sit for GAMSAT.
For The University of Melbourne, the eligibility criteria depends on which country you are from. It is best to visit the official Uni website and get the latest details. Log onto
You can also email them:
or call them: (03) 8344 5890
The University of Melbourne will not be accepting graduates in 2010, as part of the transition from the 4 1/2 year MBBS to the new 4 yr postgraduate Doctor of Medicine (MD) commencing in 2011.

For the M.D. at Melbourne Uni in 2011, you need to have studied and passed a Biochemistry, Anatomy and Physiology subject each at 2ND YEAR level. This is possible without a science-based degree through correspondence (as prepgenie pointed out, visit Melb Uni site for a list of approved subjects from other unis).
GPA requirements haven't been released, but I went to an info lecture on the course last year and they said it'll most likely be 6.0-6.5. And you'll need a GAMSAT score of 68 minimum.
I'm sitting on 5.5 so far... If I get H1s for the rest of the year I can JUST squeeze in with a 6.1, God forbid I screw up the GAMSAT majorly haha.

I went to several of the MD seminars, and go to Melb Uni, and Geoff McColl never said a rough GPA or GAMSAT. They admit it is impossible to predict either as it is a new course and have no idea about the demand.
The website used to say the GPA will probably need to be between 5.5-6, but it seems to have been taken down.
Check the MD website for the latest information.

Hmm, yeh I wonder if the overall GAMSAT score will at all depend on percentiles of that year... a 68 this year would put you around the 95th percentiles... way too high just to get an interview T_T

dude.... Melbourne is ALWAYS highly sought after.... 68 for interview sounds silly, but its not as crazy as it sounds.
If you're not carrying a GPA well in the 6's and a GAMSAT over 65, I would start thinking really carefully about second and thrid preferences.

Hmm.. So do percentiles even matter at all with GAMSAT?... I was so proud of my 91st percentile this year but with a score of 65 I don't think it's gonna cut it... my weighted GPA is 6.72 but without it it would be closer to 6.48...
But with my 65 not sure if I'll stand a chance...
This is my first year doing GAMSAT so I'm not sure what to apply to... UQ would be nice but Deakin seems good for scores in the 60's...
Any suggestions for fellow 60'ers this year?

Percentiles don't matter.... 65 is a good score, and with your GPA it will set you in good stead just about anywhere.
I'd suggest that rather than thinking about which uni you're more likely to get into, you think instead about the programs, the cohort sizes, the feel of the university itself (go and sit in the med library, or in the courtyard and soak up the atmosphere if you can)....
The point is, that you're going to spend 4 years (maybe 5) there studying, and you really want to go for the best fit, not the sexiest name.
You mention UQ, Deakin and UMel, all of which are a long way from each other.... which makes me think you'll go just about anywhere! make some lifestyle enquiries, look into how well supported the students are, and the support available. How much will it cost you to live there? what is the liklihood that you'll find part time work? How many students are you fighting for decent lecture seating.... (I know for me, the idea of being in a 350 person lecture makes my stomach turn).
Some programs have podcasting, some use Itunes, some have nothing.... Some are incredibly well supported, and others have a 'sink or swim' mentality.
Good luck!

That's the same as what I got. As 2010 is the first year that they have accepted applications for the Doctor of Medicine, they do not have any information on minimum GPA or GAMSAT scores. It is reasonable to expect that the applications will be of a very high standard.
Is there any pre med group in the MU?

OMG, just simply beautiful I can't think of a more appropriate word then beautiful. These cards, are so ingenious, I can't believe how easy you all seem to make them. Thank you, thank you, simply beautiful.
this is my favorite episode! every card is perfect!
Ican't find the pattern for the paper bow used on one of the cards...in the video, you mention that it is in the downloads, but all I see for the downloads are banners and a circle????
Reply from Paper Wishes Customer Service:
The download page here -http://www.paperwishes.com/webisodes/wow-stuff/downloads/download-082112.pdf should be the correct page. The bow pattern is directly below the banner pattern and before the circle, but you're in the right spot!
these are really beautiful cards. I just finished the iris folded tree, and it was amazingly easy.
Where do I find the paper bow pattern? thank yall for all your hard work on our behalf.
Reply from Paper Wishes Customer Service:
The paper bow pattern on from this webisode can be found on the Christmas Lace project page, here http://www.paperwishes.com/webisodes/index.php?project&page=08212012 Click the red link at the top of the project images âClick here for free download patternsâ. I hope this helps! Happy creating!
Beautiful papers and projects (love the doily pocket!). It is fun starting my day with a webisode :) Looking forward to the rest of the week!
OH MY!! I retired before I found this wonderful site. I guess I need to go back to work so I can get all these super products. Paulette and Ann work so well together I so enjoy all the websodes.
Great product super beautiful cards.
Beautiful cards and my favorite kind...Christmas. I will be ordering these supplies before long. Thank you all, Ladies, for for wonderful ideas!
I need nothing in the way of Christmas stuff since I splurged so much last year. BUT I managed to place another large order today. Heavens, I'll have stuff for years to come! Great job, ladies!! Teresa, I wish I had an nth of your talent!!
Love,Love,...Ditto.. on all the comments! To Sandi..I just use one of those cheap pedicure, battery tools(with sanding tips), to smooth the edges..of a roughly cut design.. even works well, on the die cuts, and paper toile nibbins. It's small enough to get into small areas,and quick...!
What beautiful new products and Teresa's cards are spectacular!
Beautiful! I have the same issue as Sandi and having a hard time getting smooth edges with the cut outs. I looked on the site and wasn't able to find any X-acto products...?
Reply from Paper Wishes Customer Service:
The Xacto pen knife is item 7260168 with the refill blades 7260169. I hope this helps. This blade is finer than regular Xacto knives.
Love these cards! They're so beautiful. It makes me want to start making them! Wish I'd win the lottery so I could order anything I'd want to! Keep up the good work!
Another outstanding webisode. Love ALL the products. My shopping cart is getting so full. By the end of the week, I'll have to get a part-time job to pay for everything.
I'm broke again, ordered everything that I did not have, the card and ideas are great. Keep it up.
love this whole package especially finding out that you can paint the pearls to make your project stand out more, thanks.
The cards are so beautiful in the Christmas Lace Collection. Is the Iris folding template available? Also Teresa's Tiny Tags and Little Labels?
Reply from Paper Wishes Customer Service:
Everything is live now--have fun and so sorry for the wait.
Beautiful projects!!! I also cut apart some of my stamps.. I am not very good at inking just the part I want to use so cutting them is easier for me.
God bless!
I wish the whole week of webisodes would load on Sunday night!!!!!!! I hate waiting a whole day to watch the next one!
WOW! I can't decide which day has more beautiful projects!!! I keep revising my next order to add the products from the new webisodes.

Ram Raid CD-i: Online, but out of time
>> Wednesday, May 30, 2007
Welcome to "RAM Raid": The best game on the internet, only available to CD-Online subscribers. Your mission is to defeat the others subscribers and become CD-Online best Ram Raider and earn the right to challenge RAM, the CD-Online main computer. Fight off RAM's mercenaries, and defeat your fellow subscribers; "RAM Raid" is a heart-stopping journey through "hyper-reality". That's how Philips announced RAM RAID to us: The one and only on-line multiplayer game on CD-i. A major experiment carried out by Philips Research Redhill, the same team who brought us Atlantis: The Last Resort.
The second edition of the CD-Online Disc (by Lost Boys, the team who brought us The Lost Ride) included a revolutionary game on CD-i: RAM RAID was an original first person shooter which could be played over the Internet, which was hot in 1996. Simply called "The Game" you could enter the demo room from the main menu. Unfortunately the CD-Online server is dormant these days so you are limited in playing the Practice levels of RAM RAID, which give you an idea how this was the top of CD-i gaming.
Yes, you could connect the CD-i player to a modem (a derival of the announced CD-i Interlink, a device that never was produced), clocked at 14k4 (can you imagine!). The modem made a connection to the internet and the CD-Online discs contained a browser to browse online. That was a great alternative to the PC which was at that time sometimes hard to follow. The modem was packaged in a so-called "CD-i Internet Kit", holding the modem (capable of 14.400 bps) and the disc itself. In Europe the service was called CD-Online, the USA had Web-i for this subscription. As Web-i never got off the ground in the USA, RAM RAID was only available in Europe from 1996 up to 2000, the year CD-Online closed down.
After RAM RAID, Philips went for more and created the at-that-time highly anticipated Atlantis: The Last Resort, the offline version of RAM RAID. Atlantis was built in a different setting and new enemies, but the engine was completely the same. The online part was just left out. Now that CD-Online is dormant, you can only play the practice levels accessing "Practice Arena" and "More Practice".
As in Atlantis you have the possibility in RAM RAID to listen to your favourite music while playing online. The game contains a total of 9 levels but only accessible through internet because some data files were stored at the CD-Online server. Just the two practice levels are on the disc itself.
The RAM RAID game was promoted with an official T-Shirt which you can see on the picture here. We spoke to an old RAM RAID veteran who shared some nice memories of RAM RAID: "You couldn't play directly against others, as how it worked was you picked someone on the scoreboard (with a higher score than you) and then picked which level you played so if you won then you would get a score increase based on the difference on yours and the other persons score, and so would work up your score rating, i'm also positive that the larger the score difference added to the difficulty of the level, because i remember on the first comp that there was just a few of us overtaking each other as there was a MASSIVE difference between the top 6 and the others,and only a few managed to catch up.
On youtube I found a video of RAM RAID, which originally was taken by Le Monde du CD-i:
Also i think it was only the first competition that acknowledged runners up as well (I think the top five in the first competition all won t-shirts and further competitions after that only gave one to the winner) but the winner of the first competition also got his name in cd-i magazine (i think i could have won the first competition but my machine crashed downloading my final score seconds before the end AAaaaaaargh!).
The subscription cost £12 a month plus you also payed for your phone calls as well but at a local rate as once you setup the machine it asked you to pick a local number from a list of 20 or so, and from that it was diverted to cd-online. I still have my modem sitting on top of my machine. It brought back memories,i even tried to log on, later on they put another page into the ram raid part of the web in that you could look at the roll of honour-winners of each round.
also some pages didn't work as the cd-i couldn't handle the graphics, so either refused to load or the page was full of icons where graphics should have been. shame I just threw out some letters I received from philips, such as the newsletters that came with each upgrade. Finally, has anyone else seen these other two bits of merchandise i have as well and they are the 'space ace' pin badge that came with the CDI magazine and the 'chaos control' pin badge that i got from buying the game at dixons and received a free badge.
Firstly,i found my chaos control badge and also came across a few extra discs that used the CD-Online service, mostly the cd online discs itself that came also in the magazine (cd-online issue 1/cd-online issue 2/cdi games-highlights-previews-gameclips/total euro 96/disc 97-10(cdonline by lost boys)/the net on your set 96-10/video cd music sampler/usa'94 world cup/micro machines demo/99-1 'doing the business'(tv episode starring leslie granthem(can't remember how to spell his name-lol).
My cdonline user manual issue 1(all the others have been thrown out). but the last two items are a bit more interesting- a cd from philips cd-online titled 'cynet plus' which is just an internet access disc for the PC with a shareware game called 'clockwerx', but the disc also includes 8 cd quality music tracks by 'Chris Thorne' and 'Honeynut' one of which is the 'Ramraid' music track(nice), it was sent to me by philips since i was a cd onliner. Hereby the connection between Honeynut and Atlantis: The Last resort is also solved!
The fact you needed a seperate subscription for the cd-i connection kept me from signing up. Moreover, even at the time the modem included was slow, only 14K4. It was just not very attractive compared to the PC internet style. You couldn't browse through every page, only a list of sites which were supported by CD-online. Ofcourse, the fact you could use it on your television even today would be a true improvement, but the price tage didn't weigh against the pros of the CD-i internet kit. Not like Wii does nowadays, for example.
Thanks to William.

About Pensacola Doodlebuggers® Service Network
The Pensacola Doodlebuggers' Process
Document, Document, Document! We cannot stress that enough to you our valued customers and our team members. Everything we do from the initial phone call, to the inspection, to repairs, we document with digital photos and written forms.
We schedule your inspection at convenient date and time for you. Once the job is complete, we will send you via email, before pictures (if repair is recommended), completed Doodlebuggers inspection or evaluation form (if you're not present and payment has been made), estimates for repair (if recommended), samples warranties (if repair's are recommended), and all titled with the property address and your name.
Our Certified Technicians
Our technicians are not sub contractors they are employees of the company. They go through a rigorous process to learn every detail of all of our services. Most of our technicians are cross trained and certified in many designations including the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA), Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) to name a couple. They must earn these designations via national standardized testing. This is not something to take lightly; we want to ensure they know what they are doing while they are serving your property.
Our certified technicians do not work off commission, so when they recommend a repair it is not personally benefiting them to make that recommendation. They are true certified technicians, not sales people in disguise as a technician. We want you to feel confident that we are always sending the very best to inspect, clean or repair your property.
Doodlebuggers Insurance
We are honored that you have considered our company to serve your needs. We carry up to 1 million dollars coverage for the following policies; auto, workers compensation, general liability and errors and omissions insurance policies.
We would be happy to add you to our insurance policy as a certificate holder. If you would like these certificates, please send your request including your name, address, phone number, and email address by fax to 850-497-7013, email to [email protected], or mail your request to Doodlebuggers Service Network 38 S. Blue Angel Parkway #213, Pensacola, FL 32506.
Absent Homeowners and Personal Rental Properties
We serve many homeowners while they are aboard or stationed elsewhere. This is a very common occurrence and with today's technology, it is safe and easy to provide service for you. We are able to complete all inspections, cleanings, or repairs as long as we have access to the home. A neighbor, tenant, friend, or family member can meet our technician at the home to let us in for service. We simply ask, during the scheduling process to put a credit card on file for payment. Once all service is completed, we will charge the credit card, shred the credit card number and email all supporting documents including digital photos of work performed to your preferred email address. For more information on rental properties please see our Property Managers page.
Payment for Service
We ask for payment when your service is completed. We accept company or personal checks, Discover, Visa and MasterCard for payment. We do not keep any credit card numbers on file and shred all credit card numbers after we process the card.
Upon request, a paid receipt can be emailed or mailed. All checks should be made payable to Doodlebuggers Service Network and mailed to 38 S. Blue Angel Parkway #213, Pensacola, FL 32506. Please include your invoice number on your check.
Estimates for Repair
We highly encourage questions to anything we have suggested or recommended for a property. The packet we send may not always answer every question, so please feel free to call our office. This is an everyday event for us, but for most people they do not understand what we are recommending and why. We would be happy to explain. We are honest and transparent in all of our dealings; there are never any surprises, if we can help it.
Once an estimate is approved by the homeowner, please sign the estimate and fax or email the signed copy to our office. Upon receipt, we will order any parts needed to complete the repair and contact you to schedule the repair job. When the repair is complete, we will send before & after pictures of the repair and warranties (if applicable) to your preferred email address.
We look forward to working with you. If you have any further questions call our office at any of the numbers listed below. We are open Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm.

31 May, 2012
In the last quarter of a century, bulk of the Georgian politics is being made mostly in the street. If we put together several clinically recognizable features of our national life that consistently occur together as a set of associated social, political and economic symptoms, we may receive a clearly expressed syndrome which I am prone to dub as Streetsmart Politics.
brought a radical change to our society in the late 80's and early 90's of the 20th century, rejecting the soviet version of socialism and adopting a wildish adaptation of capitalism. This happened about a quarter of a century ago, but SPS has never discontinued functioning as one of the most popular stocks in trade, extensively used by political forces in Georgia. The chain of test trials of Streetsmart Politics has been so successful in this country that the Nation is refusing to write it off easily and immediately. It still has a considerable value to it, and it still possesses enough potential for determining the future political developments in the Republic. The question is why. And there is no simple answer to this question. Let us still make an attempt to find some of the answers which might sound most reasonable to those who have already given a thought to the issue. One of the reasons of the SPS persistence in the Land must be our national proclivity to obstruct the globally and historically accepted logic in politics when wisdom and reason is a denominator, and anything pathetic is rejected. As a result, the indoor discussion of current hot issues becomes impossible and street starts serving as the arena for political clashes. Secondly, the overheated political ambitions are eating away on commonsensical logic and reason, and therefore, street becomes the only place where social and political exhaust could be released. There is a third reason that pushes forward the SPS style in politics in Georgia, and that is impatience for the historical events to develop accordingly in time and space. Democracy, freedom, equality, unalienable rights, skill for self-government, government of law, division of powers and unhampered chance to pursue human happiness will not happen overnight. Look at the best examples of statehood in the world which deserves our faithful and attentive emulation – the West! Has it all happened jiffy-quick either in America or in Europe? It is obvious and universally recognized that in the richest and the happiest of the nations, where prosperity, freedom and democracy have burgeoned to unbelievable extremes, still suffer from lack of prosperity, freedom and democracy. And SPS is not being considered as the most advantageous remedy for the improvement of the quality of life in those countries. Well, if SPS has a chance in Georgia to make life better, let it do its job and make us all happy, but what a way to run a railway! As for me, I would stick politicks indoors and get it cleansed and cured of that garrulous, cantankerous, time-and-money-consuming activity. I personally sense something obtrusively immature in our Streetsmart Politicks. Time to manage the country without friction and strife! Time to check and balance the situation as our rich and famous Western partners have been doing for centuries!
In our case, SPS (Streetsmart Politics Syndrome) has worked effectively and has made a historical difference – it once

Moving forward, the documentation compiled during the Minors Process will be uploaded directly into FIFA's Transfer Matching System (TMS) by U.S. Soccer; FIFA TMS will then review and notify U.S. Soccer if a First Registration or ITC request for the minor player in question is permitted or not.
If any of the required Minors Process documents are missing in the initial application for a particular player, U.S. Soccer will receive a notification from FIFA TMS (a few weeks after first submitted) requesting the missing information. Once submitted to FIFA TMS, U.S. Soccer conservatively estimates turnaround time on these applications to be around two months.
All players 10+ participating in affiliated leagues, who are not eligible for the Prior to 12 or First Registration option, will be required to complete the ITC Request Form.
The form should be forwarded to Maryland State Youth Soccer Association and U.S. Soccer Federation for processing. U.S. Soccer will then issue a formal ITC Request to their player's former federation.
If the player is under the age of 18, they are required to submit the required documentaion for the Minors' Process with the ITC Request form.
Per FIFA regulations the foreign Federation has up to 30 days from the date the ITC was formally requested to respond after which U.S. Soccer can issue a provisional international transfer clearance.
In order to complete this process, the player should follow these steps:

The Council believes that the adoption of the recommendations made
in this report will increase markedly the effectiveness of social
insurance as a method for providing security to the American family
when income is cut off in old age or by total disability or death.
Moreover, adoption of these recommendations will make sure that
the existing social security program will continue on a financially
sound basis and that the proposed extension of the social insurance
principle to cover hospital insurance for the aged and the permanently
and totally disabled will be soundly financed.
The Council has no doubt that the changes herein recommended will
be the final step in the development of the American social security
program. In the opinion of the Council, the proposed changes would
do no more than make improvements that are clearly indicated by
experience with the social security program up to the present time.
Consequently, the Council urges that every 5 years or so Advisory
Councils be formed to review the substantive provisions of the program
as well as its financing.
The Council believes that social insurance is an institution that
is basic and vital to the economic security of almost every American
family, and that because of its great importance it must be constantly
re-examined and brought up to date. The fulfillment of the promise
of social security for the American worker and his family which
was implicit in the original Social Security Act will depend on
continuing wisdom and alertness to make sure that our use of the
social insurance mechanism to combat insecurity among our people
is adapted to changing needs and conditions inherent in our dynamic

By Cameron Huddleston, Online Editor March 16, 2012 My husband saved us $60 yesterday by fixing something on his own rather than hiring a professional. DOWNLOAD: The Kip Tips iPad App The drain in one of our bathtubs had been clogged for a while. My husband had attempted in the past to remove the old-school drain stopper to unclog it but wasn't able to get it off. When I threatened to call a plumber (whose base rate is $60), he asked for one more chance. This time he succeeded. What did he do differently? He used the Internet. A search for "how to remove a lift-and-turn bathtub stopper" turned up a YouTube video that walked him through the process. This isn't the first time he's saved us money by using YouTube videos to guide him through home maintenance and improvement projects. In fact, he rebuilt a bathroom with the help of YouTube. Advertisement Experienced do-it-yourselfers are well aware of this source. But those of you who rarely -- or never -- tackle home-maintenance projects for fear of botching them should consider getting some pointers from an instructional YouTube video the next time something minor needs fixing. You'll probably discover that the task isn't as hard as it seems, and you'll save yourself some money.

New Sport Will Begin Competition Next Year
John Gilbert is UMD's New Acrobatics & Tumbling Coach
NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA-Changes are coming in what used to be the sport of cheerleading, and the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth is well-prepared to take the next step with the hiring of a new coach.
John Gilbert is the Corsairs' new head coach in what is now the sport of Acrobatics & Tumbling, which will begin competition during the 2012-13 academic year.
The sport is currently governed by the National Collegiate Acrobatics and Tumbling Association with the goal of becoming an NCAA emerging sport, and Gilbert has the credentials to succeed with the Corsairs.
Currently the owner of G-Force Elite, a training facility in Canton, MA, Gilbert has several years of collegiate coaching experience. A native of Saratoga Springs, NY, Gilbert graduated from Scarborough HS in Maine, and then began his coaching career at Bishop Feehan HS while attending the University of Rhode Island. While doing his student teaching, he began coaching at Curry College. He has also coached at McCollum HS in San Antonio, TX before eventually moving back to New England and coaching at Providence College. He also has coached internationally, in Canada, Mexico, Finland, Germany and France, among other places.
"I've been involved in coaching cheerleading since I started cheering in high school," said Gilbert. "I was teaching health and physical education in school and coaching on the side, and I began coaching cheerleading full time in 2006 at McCollum HS in Texas. They had a pep squad with more than 50 kids in the program, and they would be at all the games."
Gilbert then left to run the Sports Barn in Chattanooga, TN before relocating to New England, and the timing was right as far as UMD was concerned.
"I've been involved with the NCATA for a number of years, and I was waiting for the next school in New England to pick it up," said Gilbert. "I was excited to hear that UMass Dartmouth was going in that direction. If a New England school picked it up, I wanted to help the new format take off."
"We are very fortunate to hire someone of John Gilbert's caliber to be our Acrobatics & Tumbling coach," said UMass Dartmouth Director of Athletics Ian Day. "I am confident he will quickly establish the program as an elite one, in this new and exciting sport"
The NCATA format consists of six rounds. "I would compare it to a gymnastics meet," said Gilbert. "The student-athletes display different skills throughout their routine. They take a lot of the skills and separate them out every time the team does a group stunt."
Six teams began the NCATA-Maryland, Quinnipiac, Fairmont State, Oregon, Baylor and Azusa Pacific, and they will hold their national championship at Baylor next spring. "This year, we will be introducing the program, recruiting athletes, and planning to go to some local meets next year to try to get to the nationals," said Gilbert. "We'll be setting up some workshops this winter and spring to educate people about the new format."
