Right now I'm going through the Mickey Baker jazz book and I finding the chord ideas very helpful. The thing I have been trying to do is getting better at soloing. What are somethings I should do to get better. I have Charlie Parker Omnibook and learned 2 heads and some of the solo in one. But how do I transfer that to my own playing? I was told to look and analyze my favorite lick and transpose to different keys.
Another idea I thought of was writing solos based on chord progressions for my favorite standards. For example I love how High the Moon, so with that I was thinking of just writing lines for those changes, would that be a good approach?
All in all im looking for any tips that would help me getting better at soloing over jazz changes!
You've started two threads on the same subject.
All in all I'm looking for any tips that would help me getting better at soloing over jazz changes!
Listen to what jazz players do. But what you hear there is the result of years and years of dedicated practice, study and playing + talent.
So start at the beginning and get into it. No other way.
Here are a couple of ideas from someone who also struggles with progressing with improvisation. When I was in high school 50+ years ago (sheesh), my first guitar teacher was a jazz man. He tried to teach me to improvise. I wasn't anywhere near ready for that at that young age but the technique he used has value. Pick a song with an easy chord structure and a melody you can't get out of your head. How about "John Brown's Body"? Find or create a backing track with either a cheap looper pedal or Guitar Pro or whatever. Find a You Tube or CD example of a jazz version of the song (Oscar Peterson for JBB for example). Play the CD until it wears out. Take a section and find the notes. Write them down. Simplify it first just hitting a few tones in each chord. Find the groove. You can do that with really only a few notes either side of or in between the melody. Keep time after you can do that. Use the ideas in your instruction book (finding guide tones, chromatics, thirds etc) and just PLAY. It will sound really bad at first. Refine it using ideas from the CD. You don't have to find a guitar CD. Piano, sax, flute, violin, any instrument that plays an improvised melody line. Be patient.
Another idea is to purchase a few Bob Conti video's. Bob's marketing pitch is to forget about scales and modes and just play. He walks through some notated improv selections and will help get you comfortable with the concept.
There is no "best" way to do this. There is no advice that will cause a miracle to happen and you will become proficient over night. Keep plugging until you find something that works for you.

The Ticket To Improv Series By Robert Conti
The iconic figures of jazz, the canon of the artform, the language and attitude of soloing came to be from one place: the experience of playing with others in real time. The community of the big band still stands as unique in the musics of the world; the collective knowledge and experience of individuals shared with the individual through sharing. This is the important glue that holds together any other supplemental materials you can get through extrinsic sources (books, institutions, etc).
There is an ephemeral process of self discovery that is the essence of the art of soloing. It's a real time process.
Find others. Find a partner. Find a singer you can hold down the form for. Find a playing partner you can learn to listen to. Find a teacher and then ask him/her for the names of others who want to play.
People can tell you all sorts of ways to solo, but you will never do it until you play with another, fail, assess your resources, play again, experience the discovery of what works and improve.
Use the forum and see if there are others in your area who want to play.
It is not possible to get better.

Google 'Lee Konitz 10-step method' for some examples of how Lee Konitz (a brilliant improviser) gradually transforms the melody into an improvised solo.

OP, what are you doing now when you practice tunes?
It depends on your current level.
1. Play the melody/theme
2. Improvise a variation of the melody
- Play a melodic phrase.
- Pay attention to rhythm, tempo and timing
- Repeat the phrase with variation when the harmony changes
- Pay attention to the end note of each phrase
- Make use of long notes and pauses, double stops, octaves and bends.
- Pay attention to your slots (when to play and when not to play)
3. Practice
- Train muscle memory
Internalize a library of licks and patterns; building blocks when improvising phrases.
Practice modes, scales and arpeggios to internalize intervals on the fretboard.
- Train your ears
Internalize the sound of different modes and scales and arpeggios.
Listen to music. Listen, listen. Break free from bonds of guitar oriented music.
- Tips
Copy an advanced solo, try to nail it, note by note.Advanced:
Write an advanced solo, internalize it.
Copy a short lick, re-use it in different songs
Play with eyes closed and ears open
1. Break free from your old licks and patterns.
2. Play long notes to extend harmony
3. Improvise over songs that modulate over different keys.
4. Increase intervals between notes
5. Alternate between chords and lines
6. Move in and out from the scale
7. Compose melodies
Good luck

OK, what I think he means is that he learns dozens of jazz "words" and "sentences" that he strings together for certain chord types. It sure sounds like he's improvising because he's able to sound fresh continually, but he's just putting sentences together instead of individual letters together to form new words on the fly.
Now, those of us who enjoy putting letters together to form new words each time are either playing slowly and targeting chord tones, or are able to apply chunks of CST derived cells for each chord type... neither of which sounds like the authentic language of the Boppers.
Personally I enjoy trying to actually improvise, but that part of my playing is just me making up melodies that don't always land chord tones, but still sound resolved or right because I get ok at "making" it sound right by how I follow up on an idea that pops out (delayed resolution, or turning into a sequence etc etc).
The other part of my playing comprises prefab fast lines that i learn in 5 positions, that are dropped in when I can think of them in time. I try to work a lot on starting them on different parts of the bar, or different strings. I don't think I'm yet good enough to sound like it's all improv, but it's the path i'm on. I'd like to be 50/50 when it comes to prefab lines vs 100% real improv, but I'd love to one day hide the seams well enough so that other players can't tell...

It's very hard to advise people on what to do without knowing what they can do.
All that said, my advice is nearly always to learn tunes, and play with other people. The times in my life when I've made the most progress as a musician have been when I've done that. Practicing and studying is important, but to learn jazz, you have to play jazz, which requires repertoire and ensemble playing.

Because you are are the source of what you are doing in music.
I do not believe there is a really systematic way to become more creative, one either has or not (but there is chance it opens up later! There is always a chance).
So developeing the "a" section is very individual if ever possible
It is the mistery of human peronality and individuality.
You know there is no progress in how tree grows or rain drops fall. It can be dofferent but there is no improvement.
So are the artists - their maturity is mostly connected with long practical experience, with development of their techniques (''b'' section) in relation to more or less stable 'creative ideas'
(ever trying to fill this gap)
there is possibility to develope the ''b'' section. It can be better or wors organized. It can be described in clear terms
It won't subsitute the lack of creativity but it can be a vehicle to support when the ''a'' thing does not work.
So to say - it will let you sit on oars when the wind is gone.
But where and why the vessel goes - no-can say except you...

Playing alone is OK. You have to put in the time to get to where you have the reserve capacity to play with others.
Playing with others is good. A lot of things are learned doing this preparing being able to perform.
Performing with others is better. This is the real threshold. Playing live is emergent, magic, and special.
Having performed as the guitarist of a house band that hosted over a decade of weekly four hour shows, playing countless songs on stage live hearing them for the first time, playing them with guest musicians to whom having been introduced just moments before; because improvisation comes from public experience and private confidence encountering the unknown... I have to call that best. The closer and sooner you can get to doing something like that, the best opportunity you have of really learning how to get better at improvising.
It's two things.
1. Being able to think of a good melody over the chord changes of a tune.
2. Being able to play that melody as you think of it.
For the first one, you need to be able to scat sing, or at least think of, a cool melody. I think you get that by listening, training your ear and doing a lot of scat singing.
For the second one, you practice playing everything you hear and think. So, for example, if you're watching tv, play along with the background music.
Eventually you get bored with your own scat singing, or you can't do it fast enough. At that point, a thousand things that get discussed on here regularly may help.

If you can do this - learn melodies by ear and then play them in different keys - and memorize chord changes so that you build an internal repertoire of tunes, and then pick up like one jazz lick a month by ear and really work it, then you will make real progress which is very roughly proportional to the number of tunes you learn in this manner. Disregard this advice at your own peril!
This is all very hard at the beginning but then gets much easier over times. Once you get to around 30 tunes, things really start opening up.

These "lines" are the Jazz vocabulary, and there is no one source. Sure, there are books (Baker, Bergonzi, Coker etc) but to be a real Jazz player you'll want to learn it like all the greats did. Think again about what cosmic gumbo meant when he posted that link earlier on, "Nights at the turntable". It's not just a play on words "Knights of the round table", but an allusion to how people used to learn Jazz back in the day, by spending hours every week lifting lines off records. Sounds unnecessary and archaic right? Until you realise that all the players who learned that way are still considered the gold standard examples.
So lift your own lines of choice, that way you will gather your own hand picked vocabulary, and that's the fun bit.

Maybe just spend a coupla weeks learning to play them real fast, that might do it. I guess anything that makes your rock pals confused about what scale you're playing!

I think it unhelpful, and possibly harmful, to insist that young musicians submit themselves to this long and tedious regime. There are many different ways to learn, and many resources that were not available to the long-suffering bebop musicians, especially now we have Internet.
I read somewhere that 95% of young guitarists give up the instrument and, if true, it is no wonder: the field is packed with authoritarian teachers who demand students learn in the most boring manner possible and anal-retentive experts who are strung up on such details as the correct way to hold a plectrum. Learning to improvise could be a lot of fun, but unfortunately there are far too many senior guitarists who want students to suffer.
I still can't get over Sonny Rollins talking in an interview about how he, Jackie McLean, Miles, and all his peer NYC cats were bebop experts at 19, 20 years old, and these guys were 8-10 younger than Bird, Monk and Bud Powell, whom he referred to as the bebop professors....
It's true, these guys had the vocab and chops at 20. Even Sonny refers to listening and copying Colman Hawkins records ad nauseam. But he had an environment where he could apply it with other musicians on a daily basis. Nowadays, academia is a 4th rate substitute for the original tradition.

The big fun starts, however, when you get "good" (i.e. - when good jazzplayers say you're good!). Your point that the early boppers got to be good while quite young is quite true, some of them indeed found a way to compress 12 years of work into 4 or 5. But I don't think many youngsters today will have the patience for 10 hours practice every single day, in an enormously competitive struggle to get outta the ghetto like they did (their words, not mine). I don't think they thought it was fun, it was work! No pain = no gain etc...
If the modern guys you speak of haven't checked out Bop in depth, then it's arguable that they are even playing "Jazz". Bop is considered first base for every Jazz related style that has followed, it's the lingua franca. Period. Please name some modern players you admire, there is a very good chance they have some grounding in Bop. If not, they probably come from Rock or Classical backgrounds. I'd also love to hear about any great player you know of that experienced a fast learning curve that was always fun...

I was speaking on the more technical level of playing the guitar, not necessarily jazz
I'm looking for any tips that would help me getting better at soloing over jazz changes!
I think we all want to 'keep getting better at soloing over jazz changes', it's a lifelong process that never stops. Even Pat Metheny said he is an eternal student of the guitar. You've already started that process by learning some Parker phrases and thinking about writing your own solos. Keep doing stuff like that. Personally I always found this process to be interesting enough, even 'fun', to keep doing it, despite any frustration along the way.
In my case, I suppose I followed princeplanet's approach i.e. mainly copying stuff off jazz records until I could make up my own lines. I also learned enough theory and technical stuff (scales, arps etc) to support that process, however that was not my primary focus.
But I was able to play some decent lines over a simple tune like Autumn Leaves after a year or so, I don't think it needs to take years to get to a point like that.
Compare and contrast.
Mimi Fox interview
Mimi Fox Expands Jazz Guitar from the Inside Out - GuitarPlayer.com
'As an educator, what is the most prevalent problem with jazz guitar students?
For one thing, they don't practice enough. They want it overnight, and they don't work on essentials such as arpeggios. Also, I typically encounter two types of students: those that are devoted and put in the hours, but don't have a good time feel or don't swing or have some other serious issues musically; and those that have a lot of innate musical talent, but are lazy. The study of any art form requires tremendous discipline, and jazz is paradoxical in that all this discipline is so that when you get up on stage you can play freely.
Another thing is that students don't do enough transcribing. They think that somehow they'll get their own sound by osmosis. And, although it is actually by osmosis—it's an osmosis that has to happen from listening and working to acquire important harmonic and melodic data by really digging into the music. I can play dozens of solos note-for-note that are still in my head from the first transcriptions that I did, and that's because I spent so much time listening and then writing those solos down and tapping out the rhythms. So, again, paradoxically you get your own sound by listening to other people. But you don't get it by saying you are going to get it—you have to work at it.'
I fall into a third category, talentless and lazy.

Google's market cap rose by $60 billion since July, making it the fifth-most valuable company in the nation.
Google is just behind Wal-Mart Stores, Microsoft, Exxon and Apple, according to the International Business Times. Google's valued at $245 billion, Wal-Mart at $251 billion, Microsoft at $257 billion, Exxon $424 billion and Apple tops the heap at $645 billion.
Google stock hit a high Tuesday when it reached $764.89 a share, a value not seen since November 2007. Google also had $38 billion in revenue last year and has done well since mid-June -- rising 10 percent on NASDAQ -- mostly based on its search advertising. Google still holds about 67 percent of the Internet market share and Android dominates the smartphone market.
U.S. & World
It seems that Wall Street and market analysts believe in Google's value rising and are anticipating that the search titan will report its fastest sales growth in the last five years at next month's earnings report.
While Apple does get most of the press, Google's profitability and business model has been a steady one. After Google's earnings report in October, we just may see the tech company surpass Wal-Mart and maybe even Microsoft.

Bowyer, Blaney, Suarez and Elliott round out All-Star field
CONCORD, N.C. (AP) Daniel Suarez is thrilled to be competing in the NASCAR All-Star race after struggling in his rookie season.
The 25-year-old Mexican driver raced his way into the $1 million race Saturday night along with Ryan Blaney and Clint Bowyer by winning stages of the qualifying race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
They'll be joined in the 20-car field by Chase Elliott, the winner of a fan vote.
''Now we go with the big guys, so it's going to be fun,'' Suarez said. ''I felt like we learned quite a bit in the first 50 laps. Definitely we have to make some adjustments to be strong, but the race track is going to change a lot (at night). We'll see, let's see what we got.''
The final 10-lap segment was the most competitive and provided the most drama.
With Suarez and Elliott battling for the lead, Erik Jones came from behind and tried to pass low with three laps to go but ran out of room. He ended up in the grass, drawing damage to the bottom of his car causing his engine to erupt in smoke.
''I got a good run and tried to go to the top and there wasn't any room on the top so I went to the bottom and couldn't really see behind the 24 (Elliott) where the grass began,'' Jones said. ''So I just hoped there was enough pavement down there to make a move and get clear, but unfortunately there wasn't and that was the end of our day.''
Suarez got the lead on the restart and pulled away for the victory.
Bowyer started the qualifying race from the pole and dominated the first stage by leading all 20 laps and winning by 3.6 seconds to reach his eighth All-Star race. Blaney duplicated the feat in stage two, leading all 20 laps to punch his ticket to the $1 million exhibition race.
Bowyer was glad to put the qualifying race behind him.
''Now I can focus on running with the big boys and winning a million bucks,'' Bowyer said.
Blaney felt he could have ran better but said of his stage win, ''it wasn't pretty, but we're in.''
Elliott won the fan vote for the second straight year and will appear in his second All-Star race.
Danica Patrick had won the fan vote three times in the past, but it didn't happen this year.
''I've been blessed with many years of winning the fan vote, but Chase is going to put on a good show,'' Patrick said. ''I wish I was in the race. I do. I'm not going to lie.''

In order to keep the overclocked GPU temperatures at bay, Gainward decided to use the Phantom cooler with a rather hefty heatsink. While Nvidia's reference cooler is quite good, Gainward certainly has a lot of confidence in its own version, but who would not knowing that this is a 2.5-slot wide cooler. However the width of the GTX 780 Phantom card may be its main disadvantage when it comes to enthusiasts prone to building three-way or four-way SLI systems.
The Phantom cooler is definitely a looker. We already had a chance to get acquainted with the new redesigned Phantom cooler. We saw it on Gainward's GTX 770 Phantom where it manages to provide good cooling performance while generating low noise. The Phantom's fans are hidden behind the heatsink so it may trick users into thinking that it's a passive cooler. Still, if you peek through the heatsink fins, you'll see silhouettes of the three fans. Note that the GTX 580 Phantom used three fans, but the GTX 680/670 Phantom used two fans. It seems that Gainward decided three fans were a better combination with the redesigned heatsink. After all, the TDP difference between the GTX 680 and GTX 780 is 55W, which might explain the decision.
Now for the clever fan trick we mentioned earlier in the review. The fans can be removed without removing the heatsink or messing with the wiring. You just need to undo a single screw and yank the fan out. It is a very elegant little trick.
The trick is in the integrated power connector inside the bay. You can't fit the fan upside down as it uses a set of rails to guide it down to the connector. Three fans and a tons of fins attract a lot of dust, hence we really like this approach, as it makes cleaning the heatsink much easier.
Gainward uses Power Logic PLA8015S12HH fans with a maximum speed of about 2,900RPM. The same Power Logic fan was used in the GTX 770/680/670/660/580 Phantom cards.
If you decide to take the fan off it will void the warranty on most card. However, on the Phantom it won't, and it makes maintenance much easier. Removing the whole cooler from the card will be an easy task too, and could be done by removing four spring-loaded screws from the card's back side, but this will void the warranty.
Judging by past experience, the loudness of the Power Logic fans depends on the efficiency of the heatsink. A well designed heatsink makes their life easier, and the decision to use three fans should result in more airflow at lower RPMs. Aside from the GPU, the fans are in charge of cooling hot components on the PCB too, and on a 250W card there is no shortage of such components.
The next pictures shows how cable routing was implemented.
All three fans share the same 4-pin power connector. Setting the RPM manually is a breeze using Gainward's ExperTool or any other popular utility like MSI Afterburner or PrecisionX.
The new Phantom cooler employs a five-heatpipe system to transfer heat between the cooler base and the heatsink. The 8mm heatpipes are curved a bit better than in previous Phantom coolers, so they don't protrude from the cooler at any point. The welds between heatpipes and aluminum fins are accurate and look like they've been done very well indeed.
The GTX 670 Phantom did not feature a copper base, as it was made solely from aluminium. That was probably one of the main reasons it did not end up quieter than the reference GTX 670 cooler. Gainward went back to a copper base with the GTX 780/770, employing heatpipes to connect it to a massive array of fins.

The layoffs are mainly because the company lost two major federal contracts. Two-hundred-50 people in Monona and Madison and 201 people in Wausau are affected. The Monona-based nonprofit health insurer anticipates additional layoffs if it doesn't find new business to replace the federal contracts.
WPS CEO Mike Hamerlik to the State Journal last November that up to 600 employees could lose their jobs in 2013. The company lost contracts to process Medicare claims as well as manage care claims for the military in 21 states.
The contracts made up about 40 percent of the company's annual revenue last year.

Girl Model strips away the façade of the modeling industry by following two people whose lives intersect because of it. Ashley is a deeply conflicted American former model-turned-scout. Thirteen-year-old Nadya, plucked from a remote Siberian village and promised a lucrative career in Japan, is her latest discovery. As the young girl searches for glamour and an escape from poverty, she confronts the harsh realities of a culture that worships youth — and an industry that makes perpetual childhood a globally traded commodity.
Girl Model's disturbing look behind the curtain raises important questions about responsibility that go beyond the people we see on screen. Viewers are confronted with a reality that forces all of us to ask who creates the demand for these models and who is responsible for their well-being. As an outreach tool, the film is an excellent springboard for discussions about the culture of fashion and the role its values play in our lives, media and economy.

I'm a UX designer reporting worldwide from beautiful Portland, OR.
I'm particularly passionate about User Onboarding, so much so that I run a website dedicated to it and have just published an entire book on it.
Speaking of which, I also write quite a lot on Medium.com in a collection called Designing for Results.
My favorite part about UX design is finding out how much things were improved (I ♥ A/B testing and iterations).
I also consider myself to be quite good at user interviewing, copywriting and frontend development.

Western Conference semifinals will open May 6 at San Antonio
The NBA announced Thursday that the winner of the Denver-Golden State series will play in the Western Conference semifinals starting Monday at San Antonio.
With the Warriors leading the first-round series 3-2, Denver has to win Game 6 on Thursday night at Oakland, then again Saturday at home to advance. Because the Nets beat the Bulls 95-92 on Thursday night to force a Game 7 on Saturday, the Nuggets would have an 8 p.m. Saturday tipoff at the Pepsi Center.
The conference semis will open Monday, then Game 2 is May 8 at San Antonio. Games 3-4 are not set for the best-of-seven semifinals.

Help stop AT&T from blocking FaceTime over Cellular from the majority of its customers
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Corporate News, Wireless / WiFi
The fine folks over at FreePress are asking the public to take action in an attempt to convince AT&T to reconsiders its position on blocking iOS 6 feature FaceTime over Cellular for all customers unless they switch to a Mobile Share plan. It's an obvious money-grab, a way to encourage its unlimited data users to leave those plans behind, and it shows preferential treatment on how users can use their own data plans. We're signing, and we encourage you to do the same. According to Public Knowledge:
"By blocking FaceTime for many of its customers, AT&T is violating the FCC's Open Internet rules. These rules state that mobile providers shall not 'block applications that compete with the provider's voice or video telephony services.' Although carriers are permitted to engage in 'reasonable network management,' there is no technical reason why one data plan should be able to access FaceTime, and another not. 'Over-the-top' communications services like FaceTime are a threat to carriers' revenue, but they should respond by competing with these services and not by engaging in discriminatory behavior."

text: Real Estate Investment in Africa: Is the Honeymoon Over? Share this 26 JUN 2017 A look at some of the key findings in the joint DLA Piper/CBRE Real Estate Investment in Africa report: Ease of doing business There has been a general improvement in "ease of doing business" ratings in some countries over the past five years. This should provide a better environment for investment and development, but a number of structural and operational challenges remain across the continent: currency and foreign exchange; transparency of title; ease of establishing local partnerships; and adaptability and accessibility of local market practices. US election impact The election of Donald Trump as US President in November 2016 represents a significant change in policy direction in at least two areas: a move towards fiscal expansion - support to domestic growth, however lack of policy detail, low prioritisation of international development, isolationism of trade, style of government, and currency exchange rates have produced uncertainty; and a move towards a more protectionist trade position - likely to disrupt international supply chains and possible cuts to overseas aid budgets. Afrcian countries should consider how to make themselves more attractive to US and other businesses as a harmonised economic bloc. Oil price The fall in oil prices has impacted most countries at some level, and in countries with higher levels of oil-dependency, such as Rwanda and Angola, more substantial impacts are evident. Overall, the fall is certainly encouraging a more long-term approach to the oil industry, as well as greater diversification Inter-country co-operation will be important, but this will require greater consistency of systems and policies across markets. Infrastructure There is a consensus about the importance of adequate infrastructure, with the components of infrastructure deemed most critical for both commercial and residential developments being water, sanitation, power and telecoms. A classic example of inadequate infrastructure hindering projects is Nigeria. Examples of success include Mozambique and Uganda. Public-private partnerships will need to play a role and several African countries have begun looking to some form of PPP structure. However, in many instances the poor quality of legal infrastructure is a restriction. The challenge is to make a public-private endeavour an attractive proposition for both parties. Real estate investment Generally across Africa, there is strong demand for, and undersupply of, housing for low-middle income groups. In part this is a function of traditional construction models. It could be a significant opportunity for developers. Overall the potential exists to reconcile the delivery of quality-appropriate buildings and boost the flow of institutional and other funds into Africa markets. The mechanisms to do so need to be reactivated, focussing strongly on: Local currency mortgage markets, with banks bearing the costs of any associated hedging, so as not to penalise locals borrowers; Overcoming the reluctance of some governments to embrace PPPs; Upfront development of adequate infrastructure to promote confidence in project delivery and encourage the flow of project funding; and Developing a policy and funding framework conducive to meeting the growing demand for affordable housing. This report follows a previous collaboration between DLA Piper and CBRE Real Estate Investment in Africa: The Struggle Between Perception and Reality. DLA Piper and CBRE will be hosting a roundtable discussion on investment in Africa during DLA Piper's annual Africa Week later this year.

Differentiation is one of those things that sounds better on paper than in practice. With a coursebook, it's doubly difficult because very few of them are designed with this in mind. If they are divided into groups, then you ccan use different materials with the groups, or give the more advanced ones more to do, but this does mean that much of the class will be spent in these little groups. This can be counterbalanced by work where the stronger have to interact with the weaker but have to do a more complex task, but this kind of activity takes a long time to design, so it's not practical on a frequent basis.
How different are the levels within the class?

Covering more than 15 per cent of the world's land surface and eight per cent of the oceans, protected areas are the cornerstone of international efforts to conserve biodiversity. They offer a lifeline to some of the most precious and threatened places on earth and safeguard vital ecosystem services, upon which communities and businesses depend.
Yet protected areas face a broad range of challenges, and evidence from the IUCN demonstrates that many sites are struggling to meet minimum standards, potentially leading to ineffective conservation. Lack of staff training in business planning and other key organisational skills is a significant contributing factor to this, but employees rarely get the opportunity for training in this area.
Companies have a wealth of experienced staff and devote significant resources on training for effective business management. Yet there are often few opportunities for their managers to consider the value of natural capital to the business.
The Earth Skills Network bridges this gap by bringing together leaders from the business world with protected area managers, in a mentor-mentee relationship, to share knowledge and transfer key business skills.
The network makes the following possible:

Uslan, 61, who attended the West Long Branch school when it was Monmouth College, gave the convocation address Wednesday at the university's annual Founders' Day ceremony and was awarded an honorary doctorate in Fine Arts with a special emphasis on the comic book genre, NJ.com reported Thursday.
Uslan said he purchased the film rights to the DC Comics character in 1979 due to his distaste for the 1960's television series, which he felt made a mockery of the character. He served as producer on every Batman movie from Tim Burton's 1988 "Batman" to Chris Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises" this year.
"I can now say to anyone ailing out there: Read two comics and call me in the morning," Uslan quipped about his doctorate.

Ubuntu 10.04, codenamed Lucid Lynx, is scheduled for release this month. The developers at Canonical, the company behind the Ubuntu Linux distribution, have already started the process of planning for the next major release. Founder Mark Shuttleworth revealed today in a blog entry that Ubuntu 10.10, which is scheduled to arrive in October, will be codenamed
Moribund Moth Maverick Meerkat.
Ubuntu 10.04 is a long-term support release, which means that the focus during the current development cycle has largely been on stabilization and refining the existing technology. Shuttleworth says that we can expect to see a return to experimentation in the 10.10 release, with the potential for some radical changes.
Some of the most important goals include delivering a new Ubuntu Netbook Edition user interface, improving the Web experience, boosting startup performance, and extending social network integration on the desktop. Shuttleworth also hopes to advance Ubuntu's cloud support by simplifying deployment and making it easier to manage cloud computing workloads.
The meerkat was chosen as the mascot for the new version because the creature embodies some of the key values that will influence the coming development cycle.
"This is a time of change, and we're not afraid to surprise people with a bold move if the opportunity for dramatic improvement presents itself. We want to put Ubuntu and free software on every single consumer PC that ships from a major manufacturer, the ultimate maverick move," Shuttleworth wrote in the announcement. "Meerkats are, of course, light, fast and social—everything we want in a Perfect 10."
Canonical's staff, Ubuntu contributors, third-party application developers, and members of various upstream communities will gather in Belgium next month for the Ubuntu Developer Summit (UDS), an event that takes place near the beginning of each new Ubuntu development cycle. This event provides a venue for planning the details of the next major version of the distribution. More specific details about the Maverick roadmap will be available after the event.
Ubuntu 10.10 will coincide with the launch of GNOME 3, a major overhaul of the open source desktop environment that provides significant parts of the Ubuntu user experience. Shuttleworth's statements about bold moves and opportunities for dramatic improvement suggest that we could potentially see Ubuntu adopt the new GNOME Shell if it proves suitable. It's possible that we could also see the new default theme evolve and benefit from experimental features that were deferred during this cycle, such as RGBA colormaps and client-side window decorations.
The upcoming 10.04 release is looking really impressieve. Users can expect to see even more progress as the
Malodorous Mongoose Maverick Meerkat begins to take shape. As usual, we invite our readers to share their most humorous alternate codename suggestions in the discussion thread.

UK – Stonewall calls for apology to gay people from Scottish Cardinal
A Scottish cardinal who stepped down from church leadership after admitting sexual misconduct should apologize to gay people for his years of "vicious and cruel language" about them, Britain's leading gay-rights group said Monday.
Cardinal Keith O'Brien resigned last week as Britain's top Roman Catholic cleric after being accused of inappropriate behavior by three priests and a former priest.
O'Brien did not address the allegations directly, but said Sunday that "my sexual conduct has fallen below the standards expected of me as a priest, archbishop and cardinal."
"To those I have offended, I apologize and ask forgiveness," he said.
Stonewall Chief Executive Ben Summerskill said Monday that the group noted "with sadness that the cardinal didn't find it in him to apologize to gay people, their families and friends for the harm his vicious and cruel language caused."
O'Brien, 74, had been a staunch advocate of church teaching against homosexuality, calling same-sex marriage "a grotesque subversion of a universally accepted human right" and saying that British government plans to legalize same-sex marriage would "shame the United Kingdom in the eyes of the world."
Last year, Stonewall named O'Brien "Bigot of the Year" for his hard line on homosexuality.
Despite his views on same-sex relationships, O'Brien was long known for his relatively liberal stance on some social issues.
Shortly after he was named cardinal in 2003, O'Brien made an unusual public pledge to defend Roman Catholic Church teaching, having previously suggested there should be more open discussion on issues such as the requirement of celibacy for priests and the church's ban on contraception.
The cardinal largely kept those views to himself over the next decade, although he reiterated them in an interview with the BBC just before the allegations against him emerged. O'Brien told the broadcaster that he was open to priests marrying and having children.
"The celibacy of the clergy, whether priests should marry — Jesus didn't say that," he said in the interview last month. "When I was a young boy, the priest didn't get married and that was it. I would be very happy if others had the opportunity of considering whether or not they could or should get married."
Until his resignation, O'Brien had been due to join cardinals from around the world in Rome to choose a successor to Pope Benedict XVI.

By Steve Gutterman
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia said on Thursday former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat died of natural causes, not radiation poisoning, but a Palestinian official called the finding "politicized" and said an investigation would continue.
Samples were taken from Arafat's body last year by Swiss, French and Russian forensics experts after an al Jazeera documentary said his clothes showed high amounts of deadly polonium 210.
The Swiss said last month their tests were consistent with polonium poisoning but not absolute proof of the cause of death. The Russian finding was in line with that of French scientists who said earlier this month that Arafat had not been killed with polonium.
"Yasser Arafat died not from the effects of radiation but of natural causes," Vladimir Uiba, head of Russia's state forensics body, the Federal Medico-Biological Agency, was quoted as saying by the Interfax news agency.
Arafat, who signed the 1993 Oslo interim peace accords with Israel but then led an uprising in 2000, died at 75 at the Percy hospital in Paris in 2004, four weeks after falling ill in his Ramallah compound, which was surrounded by Israeli tanks.
"Like the French report on his death, this is a politicized finding. The truth lies at the Percy hospital," Wasel Abu Yousef, a senior member of the Palestine Liberation Organisation, told Reuters.
The official cause of death was a stroke, but French doctors said at the time they were unable to determine the origin of Arafat's illness. No autopsy was carried out.
His widow, Suha Arafat, has argued the death was a political assassination by someone close to her husband. Many Palestinians believe Israel killed him - a charge Israel denies.
The Palestinian ambassador to Moscow, Faed Mustafa, said the Russian findings would not halt efforts to investigate the cause of death, state-run Russian news agency RIA reported.
"I can only say that there is already a decision to continue (investigating)," RIA quoted him as saying. "We respect their position and we highly value their work, but there is a decision to continue work."

Frequently asked questions
Below are the questions we get asked most often about our products - If you do not see your topic listed here please contact us and we would be happy to answer any queries you have.
Are your skincare products non-comedogenic?
YES. Our skincare range is entirely non-comedogenic and won't block pores.
I found a product in store and haven't been unable to find it again - will it be restocked?
Unfortunately we are unable to guarantee stock availability and some items are only made available seasonally. If you have trouble finding an item in-store, drop us an email and we can tell you whether the product will be available in the future or offer you a mail order service from our factory if we have the product in stock.
Is the Bee Venom Crème supposed to burn when applied?
There is a degree of light burning / tingling as the product works - this effect aids in the plumping and tightening of the skin and is totally normal. If you experience an uncomfortable level of burning, wash off the product immediately and discontinue use.
I have a known bee allergy - is the Bee Venom Face Crème suitable for me?
NO. If you have sensitive skin or skin that is prone to dermatitis, eczema or psoriasis, the Bee Venom Crème is not recommended. We advise patch testing before using this product for all skin types.
Is your bee venom extracted ethically, without harming the bees?
YES. Our bee venom process is bee friendly using a low current electromagnetic plate with the process happening once a month the rest of the month the bees go about their business as honey bees.
Are your products gluten free?
YES. In the unlikely event that there was gluten it would be in trace amount.
What order do I apply the skin products?
We suggest that you apply serums first, followed by cremes and finished with oils. The oils are able to penetrate through the cremes, where as, not so readily the other way around.
My airless pump (60g skincare tubes) has stopped working - how do I get it working again?
These pumps have closed systems designed to keep your cream at its best by keeping air out and work really well when kept closed – if you happened to unscrew the pump, this introduces air and the pump will stop working – but don't worry it's an easy fix! Simply squeeze out any trapped air, re-screw the pump on and you will be good to go again!
(Sometimes you need to apply some light pressure to the tube while you pump to remove the last of the air.)
Because it is a closed system (preventing any drawback of dirt and contaminants and keeping the product in perfect condition), the tube will slowly collapse over time as the product is pumped out. This is normal and why there is no straw attached to the inside of the pump

A dirt road in Los Altos Hills that goes somewhere? That's right. The partially paved route comes out on Altamont Road. Then there's a nice descent on dirt back to Moody Road that I hadn't ridden for more than 25 years. It's all part of a Los Altos Hills trail network.
Those braces you see outside this HP building on Tantau Avenue near Pruneridge Avenue are not decorative. They're earthquake retrofit bracings. This location is ground zero for the new Apple "doughnut" building.
At the corner of Mary Avenue and Homestead Road in Sunnyvale, across the street from Homestead High where Steve Jobs attended school, there's a leftover from the Cold War -- a siren.

Talk:Acer Aspire One
There are 2 models of the Aspire One, this is mentioned at top.
The article then goes on to write as if they both use faulty media that will die if you write to it. This is a CONCERN, yes, but recent discussions surrounding the media used for the non-hd model indicate that this may in fact be more FUD than truth.
The article should give the person installing on an Aspire One _understanding_ of their media, and allow them to make choices; not _assume_ the person wants to set up an exact duplicate of an Ubuntu system.
I may rewrite sections of this later, right now, I am thinking perhaps I'm overreacting. I'll come back to this later and review.
(Also, the 'xorg.conf' posted as the original does NOT match my copy. Some keyboard tweaks based on the fact that I'm in Finland. (Which, surprizingly enough, the initial install had in the xorg.conf but NOT in the loaded software - no .fi locales at all beyond that (: ) Lastebil 16:03, 20 August 2008 (EDT)
Deletion of section "How to install kernel26-one?"
This section is totally unneeded. First, everyone using Arch should be able to know about "pacman -U", can't be that difficult. There is also no initrd needed as was falsely suggested by the section. And more importantly we have a section about the custom kernel. Expand that if you feel you need so.
What I was thinking about maybe adding a sub section how to get kernel-one installed right away during initial installation process. Like with "pacman -U -r /tmp/install kernel26-one-126.96.36.199-1.pkg.tar.gz". Ideas about this? --Inkaine 22:40, 6 December 2008 (EST)
Suspend with mounted SDHC
Is there a proper way for suspending while having an sdhc card mounted without configuring and compiling a kernel myself? Doesn't work here, once it ruined my FS... Lobotomisator 15:00 09.12.08
Eee 900HA
Regarding the proper frame buffer (1024x600 natively), I can confirm that this works on a Eee 900HA if anyone would like to put that on this page. ( I don't want to as I just signed up for this and I don't want it to be marked as spam.)
fdisk -l
The fdisk -l at the bottom has a swap partition, despite the advice towards the top of the page not to use one. Maybe there should be separate ones for the HDD and SSD models? Or perhaps the SSD advice should be split into a different article - not necessarily AAO specific, something like "Arch on SSD"
-- trontonic> One needs a swap partition in either case if Hibernate is to work, as I understand it.
Anyone made the microphone (internal or external) work with the kernel26-one kernel? I can't make it work.
Is this line needed or just overcautious?
If you have problems with r8169, try r8101.
Removal of the userspace fan control solutions
As the userspace fan control solution (acer_ec.pl) has possible race-conditions, which can damage the hardware, the kernel module acerhdf should be used instead. Acerhdf uses atomic kernel functions to prevent those race-conditions. That's why I think only the kernel module solution should mentioned in the wiki. What do you think?

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. — Saturday's 3-0 loss at FC Dallas didn't mathematically eliminate the Fire from the postseason, but it might as well have. The defeat kept Chicago in 11th place, 11 points behind eighth-place San Jose with just four games remaining.
Simply put, the Fire were outclassed in all areas on Saturday. They struggled to create chances, defended poorly, and failed to maintain possession, dooming them to their fourth loss in five games—not the type of record that makes for a magical push into the postseason.
Two quick observations from Saturday's match:
1) Tired legs
It wasn't hard to see that Saturday's game was the Fire's third in seven days. Chicago—who lost 1-0 to Seattle on September 25th and won 3-0 at San Jose on the 29th—looked sluggish from the start, allowing FCD to control the early play before conceding in the 19th minute.
Then, Chicago failed to mount much of a fight after falling behind, getting forward too infrequently for a side with their playoff lives on the line. Their inability to chase the game came down to the tired legs of the starting XI—which featured nine players who started in San Jose just three days before.
2) Watson-Siriboe shows his youth
After strong performances in the Fire's two previous games, rookie center back Kwame Watson-Siriboe came back to down to earth on Saturday.
The second-round pick was to blame for Dallas's opener. He misjudged FCD goalie Dario Sala's free kick, allowing forward Milton Rodriguez to run onto the ball just outside the 18. The Dallas striker buried his shot in the upper corner.
Watson-Siriboe didn't fare much better with the ball at his feet, struggling in distribution before being taken off in the 59th minute. It was a step back for the UConn product, who has shown great potential but obviously still has much to learn.

In this next drawing tutorial I will be showing you how to draw Woody Woodpecker. I know what you all must be thinking, Woody Woodpecker? My only answer to that is yeah why not. I may be a young teen and Woody just may be too old for me to remember, but you see I have a mother that grew up watching this pecking bird when she was a kid and because of that she has quite a few VHS movies on this cartoon character. Woody made his first appearance back in 1940 with the animated premier show of "Knock Knock". His character design was created by a fella named Walter Lantz and he was distributed by Universal Pictures. Woody Woodpecker is a part of the "Screw Ball Pack" that consisted of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. Bugs and Daffy came out way before Woody back in the 1930's. One of the original voice talents for Woody was Mel Blanc who worked for Warner Bros and Hanna Barbera. Did you know that Mel Blanc was also the voice talents for Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Sylvester the Cat, Tweety Bird, Foghorn Leghorn, Yosemite Sam, Wile E. Coyote and was also known as the man of a thousand voices? The image of Woody Woodpecker changed about three to four times over the course of time. The final image of Woody is him being some what of a stocky looking bird with thick limbs. His character is some what of an annoying insane bird that gets into some trouble once in a while. He would open every show with that cackling laugh that seemed to go on for a while. But that was the fun in the show. I think that this redheaded woodpecker was one of the funniest cartoon characters during the Golden Age of American animation. He is truly a classic character and I will always enjoy watching my mother's reruns that she has on video tape. This tutorial will show you how to draw Woody Woodpecker step by step. The instructions make him easy to draw because the steps are easy to follow. I will be back with more drawing fun so stick around and wait to see what is submitted next.

Guildford, UK, 19 March 2010 - The Hymera portable power generator from BOC is the first 150W hydrogen fuel-cell powered electricity generator on the market. It is a lightweight, clean and quiet off-grid power supply that is ideal for today's high-tech, low energy technologies like LED floodlighting and for charging cordless tools on site. It is an environmentally-friendly alternative to conventional diesel or petrol powered generators and marks the start of a new age in off-grid power generation.
Hydrogen fuel cells are almost silent, so they can be used in situations where noise is an issue – for example in residential areas at night. Reducing the exposure of employees to continuous high levels of noise is also an increasingly important concern for many companies.
Because they do not emit any potentially harmful substances (like carbon monoxide and nitrous oxide) the Hymera can be used in places where these types of emissions could become problematic.
The Hymera hydrogen fuel cell generator has a number of advantages over conventional fossil fuel-driven units. Hydrogen fuel cells generate electricity from the reaction of hydrogen with oxygen from the air. Like a battery, a fuel cell employs an electrochemical process that produces no sound and is very efficient. What is more, the only exhaust emissions from a hydrogen fuel cell electric generator are water or water vapour. The Hymera has a fraction of the carbon footprint of a conventional diesel or petrol generator when used to power low-power loads.
The other great advantage of fuel cells is that they can be built to virtually any scale (from a few Watts to a several Megawatts) while still maintaining their very high efficiency.
Petrol and diesel generators (the smallest is just under 1kW) have very poor efficiency at low and part load – less than five percent in some cases. So there is no benefit in using a high efficiency floodlight rather than a conventional tungsten floodlight with a petrol or diesel generator – the fuel consumption per hour would only be reduced by a small amount. While other technologies, such as lighting, computing and visual displays, have made big improvements in efficiency (i.e. they do the same work as before but use much less energy), petrol and diesel generators have not downsized to match the reduced power requirement of many loads.
BOC, a member of The Linde Group, also provides a comprehensive range of solutions for all welding and industrial gas requirements.
BOC is a member of The Linde Group. An industrial, medical and special gases provider, the company supplies compressed and bulk gases, chemicals and equipment. For more than a century the company's gases and expertise have contributed to advances in many areas of everyday life, and industries including steelmaking, refining, chemical processing, environmental protection, wastewater treatment, welding and cutting, food processing and distribution, glass production, electronics and health care.
