Director General of Environmental Emergency, Ministry of Water and Environment Majid Al Rifai on Friday check the progress of the environmental campaign against vector cholera in the province.
UNCIF collaboration with Ministry of Water and Environment over nine days targeted some districts in province which is witnessing a surge in the epidemic.
They pointed out that the teams are working according to the plan prepared in advance to target swamps and garbage dump sites in addition to the removal of waste by cleaners and their role to sensitize the community to the importance of promoting personal hygiene and methods of prevention of the cholera epidemic.
Yemen is facing a massive resurgence of cholera in what was already one of the world's worst outbreaks, with more than 137,000 suspected cases and almost 300 deaths reported in this year.
With well over 2,000 suspected cases being recorded every day – a doubling since the beginning of the year – aid agencies fear they could be facing a major new health crisis.
Amid mounting concern over the return of the epidemic – which first broke out in the war-devastated country in 2016 – aid agencies are reporting cases in 21 out of 23 governorates, with children under five making up a quarter of those affected.
Despite the spread, however, the outbreak has been worst in six governorates, including in the Red Sea port of Hodeidah, and Ibb, in the south of Yemen, according to Save the Children.

Help us inspire with STEM
23rd May 2019
Would you like to support your company's corporate social responsibility, help two youth charities - The Prince's Trust and Adviza - and provide encouragement to disadvantaged young people?
Adviza is looking for local employers to inspire, motivate and educate 15 vulnerable young people about the world of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) and the career opportunities available to them.
As part of the successful Prince's Trust Get Started programme we would like the 16-25 year olds to learn new skills in STEM and help make a difference in shaping their career and life choices.
The programme will run over a two week period from Monday 17th June to Thursday 27th June in Reading.
Here's how your organisation can make a difference:
- Provide a meeting room on all or any of these days (June 17th - 20th and June 24th - 26th) - the room would need to have capacity for 15 people and ideally have refreshments provided between 10am to 4pm. A real life office environment will help to motivate and inspire to what the worlds of work looks like and feels like.
- Give a short talk (June 19th or 20th) - a STEM employer has the chance to bring to life what a STEM job is all about. The talk would need to last for 30 mins and be motivating to someone who hasn't before considered working in a STEM role. The employer would need to be attend a venue in Reading, unless you can offer us a hosting room!
- Host an employer visit (June 20th, 24th and 25th) - this would include a tour of the employer's premises, information about the company and an inspirational talk followed by a Q&A session.
- Hold a STEM work placement day (June 20th, 24th and/or 25th) - a day for a young person or group of young people to shadow a STEM employer to experience the world of work. The placement would ideally take place between 10am – 4pm, although just a morning or afternoon would be great.
If you are able to support any of these above activities and help make a difference please contact Claire Reeves to discuss in more detail on firstname.lastname@example.com or 07525 814730

Despite the worst bear market since the 1930s, activist investors such as
, Bill Ackman of
Pershing Square Capital Management
by all accounts are still finding attractive valuations both on the long and short sided of the equity market.

text: One of the best loved traditions in Charlottetown is the Gold Cup and Saucer parade. Prior to its development in the 1960s, the "float parade" wound its way through Charlottetown in the summertime. 1955 marked 100 years since the City of Charlottetown was incorporated and we celebrated the event with a number of festivities including the Centennial Float Parade. The entry seen in the image was a replica of one of our earliest locomotives "The Old No.3" and caused quite a stir among onlookers for its authenticity. The photo was taken on Queen Street between Kent and Grafton Streets. Note the Currie Block in the background.

Route: Pune – Junnar – Malshej Ghat – Murbad – Thane
Roads in Maharashtra are best to drive on; specially in monsoon. But there is one such route which has gained the highest popularity and for the right reasons. This is the Malshej Ghat. It connects Mumbai with Junnar/Sangamner/Ahmednagar and also serves as an alternate route to connect Pune with Mumbai and Pune with Nashik. Apart from the connectivity, in monsoon; it's a great picnic spot and a photographers paradise.
Best time to visit:
Aug – Feb will be the best time.
Been driven the Pune – Mumbai highway multiple times, it was time for a change. It was monsoon season. I could think of no better place than to cross the Malshej Ghat.
From Pune, the road is quite normal till Junnar. Like a typical Maharashtra road with some villages and small hills here and there. After Junnar, the real fun begins. The roads are now a property of the Sahyadri mountains. I was amazed at a point where an inclined road passes through a rock cut. The road ahead was not visible for some point of time and it opened up to a view like in the video below.
This place is marked in maps at: Shri Ganesh Mandir, Ganesh Khind. From here I could see the massive Pimpalgaon Joga dam. Nature was blasting every shade of blue and green. What a view!
Further ahead the road keeps on displaying better views with each passing km. I was now at the place where a waterfall was being enjoyed by many people. Several hawkers selling various items on their stalls here. A little ahead is the rock cut tunnel – one of the most famous attraction of Malshej Ghat. Just outside of its opening is a waterfall which is termed by many as the Natural car wash. In heavy rains, it can wash a State Bus is a matter of seconds.
There are many viewpoints along this road and places for photography and selfie points.
If you plan to stay at Malshej ghat you can visit the Shivneri fort around 40 km from here.
After spending some time there, I continued ahead towards Kalyan. It was obvious that after the ghat ends, the road would be less attractive. But contrary to my belief, it turned out; the road is beautiful till Murbad. Completely lined with tree cover on both sides, the road caters to a bikers delight.
One needs to be careful in extreme rainy days. The Malshej Ghat road is prone to landslides and the visibility is very poor.
A ride on this route for a biker is a must.

I need a place to work. To sew. To write. To knit. Maybe even to read! It needs to be a calm atmosphere, with only my things. No burp rags, bouncy seats, or legos. I need a haven, a creative place to unwind and let go. I've tried to carve out a little place at the kitchen table or in the computer area but it gets overwhelmed with regular life. Bills, playdoh crumbs, and naked baby dolls stage a coup and before I know it, they have taken over.
There is an extra room upstairs that is calling my name. It has a sloped ceiling, soft carpet, natural light and a door with a lock. It has clutter and two unused desks that Aaron has claimed for his ham radio hobby. I have the entire room planned out in my mind. I've been storing away empty canisters from the kitchen to recycle into organizational bins. Now I just need to see this plan into action.
My goal for this upcoming week is to have Aaron move the desks down to the basement and for me to get the rest of the clutter organized and put in the appropriate place (aka the trash). Once that happens, it's just a matter of getting the room set up to be functional. After that is all accomplished, the truly hard part comes: finding the time to get up there. Thankfully, Aaron is willing to make that happen. We're still hashing out the details, but I think we'll figure out something soon.
The bathtub has become Ella's preferred creative space. She's been favoring painting lately and having her create in the bathtub is a lot less hassle.
How about you? Do you have a creative space?

After going 2-0 during their opening weekend, Michigan State Women's volleyball is hosting the Auto Owners Insurance Spartan Invitational this weekend. The Spartans kicked off the tournament Friday with back-to-back wins over Indiana State (0-5) and Cincinnati (3-2), growing their perfect record to 4-0.
The green and white swept Indiana State 3-0 in the first match of the tournament. The Spartans dominated the first set 25-9 and third set 25-10. Sophomore middle blocker Rebecka Poljan lead the Spartans with 10 kills and 11.5 points throughout the match.
After a several hour break, the Spartans returned to the court where they defeated Cincinnati in a 3-1 match.
The Spartans' strong team-oriented offense dominated the first set, holding Cincinnati at 12 points.
As a team, the Spartans shot down 11 kills in total across the roster.
"Our team dynamic really helped us tonight," junior Meredith Norris said. "Every single person was getting a kill. It wasn't like one person led us the entire time. It was each and every one of us."
"It was nice to see our offense so diversified," Head Coach Cathy George said. "We really moved it around and it gave us a lot of opportunity to spread things out and get some openings."
The second set proved much more difficult for MSU.
Although the Spartans stepped back onto the court strong, leading off with a 2-0 lead, they quickly fell behind after a 4-point Bearcat run.
The set continued to be fairly back-and-forth until a block by junior Meredith Norris followed by a kill by Poljan put the Spartans ahead by 7, marking the largest lead of the game.
Later in the set, back-to-back kills by Cincinnati's Maria Mallon and Jordan Thompson brought the Bearcats back in the game with a score of 22-20, Spartans.
Despite the Bearcats' comeback, however, a kill by Norris put the Spartans back in power at 24-21 before a solo block by sophomore Naya Gross ended the second set 25-21, and putting the Spartans ahead 2-0.
The third set was a back-and-forth affair, with strong hits coming from both sides of the court that made it hard for either team to pull ahead. The Bearcats claimed a lead late in the match at 18-16 after the Spartans struggled to keep the ball in play.
The Bearcats held the Spartans with the help of two Aces by Jordan Thompson, to end the match at 20-25, Bearcats.
Gross spoke on what the team discussed following the loss. "We talked about our energy levels. When we are low energy we don't seem to play as well, so if everyone comes together and we are a high intensity team then it tends to help us play better," Gross said.
With a fired up Spartan team not looking to end their perfect record season, MSU came back to the fourth set strong claiming a dominating early lead at 11-2.
Numerous standout saves by junior Jamye Cox and several errors on the Bearcats' side helped the Spartans maintain their lead for a majority of the set.
Cincinnati began to come back after a long volley ended with a point in Cincinnati's favor, putting the game at 23-18.
In the end, the Spartan's held strong and a strong block by Molly Johnson ended the set at 25-20 and match at 3-1, Spartans.
The Spartans will face No. 21 Tennessee (0-2) on Saturday at 1:30 pm to conclude the Auto Owners Insurance Spartan Invitational and defend their undefeated preseason.
"Rest and recovery right now," George said regarding the teams preperation for tomorrow. "Take what we did well, look at what we didn't do well and know that Tenessee is a pretty tough team."

How good are India's top 5 batsmen in Tests Sessions?
Top five Indian batsmen have amazing numbers in India. Cheteshwar Pujara averages 62.45, Virat Kohli averages 56.16, Lokesh Rahul averages 46.70 and Murali Vijay makes run at 42.31. Only Shikhar Dhawan (39.46) and Ajinkya Rahane (36.88) average less than 40.
Virat Kohli leads the run charts in Australia. He has made 992 runs at an average of 62, including 5 centuries. Who could forget his twin centuries at Adelaide in 2014?
Virat Kohli, with his knocks of 115 and 141 in the two innings of the Test, had become only the second player to score twin centuries on his captaincy debut.
Virat Kohli vs Sachin's records : Is it Possible to break the records?
Murali Vijay had a series to remember as well, he amassed 482 runs at an average of 60.42. Ajinkya Rahane also made an impact as he made 399 runs at an average of 57.00.
Though KL Rahul had a sorry debut in Melbourne, he announced himself on the international circuit in Sydney with a hundred (110). However, both Dhawan and Pujara had an outing to forget.
Although Dhawan leads the run charts in New Zealand, he struggled in Australia, England and South Africa. Cheteshwar Pujara has an excellent record in South Africa but failed in England and New Zealand, while he had average outings in Australia and West Indies.

One of Australia's most dynamic and busy festival groups, Rhythm Hunters are bringing their infectious dance grooves back to the to the beach for a special show at OneSpace HQ, Bondi Junction. Supporting Rhythm Hunters, and also joining them on stage as a special guest will be Si Mullumby of Wild Marmalade fame. Also supporting on the night is local singer/songwriter Direwolf. One Rhythm is sure to entrance your ears, tantalise your musical tastebuds and leave your feet aching for more.
A dynamite force in world roots music, adored for their frenetic drum choreographies and infectious dance grooves, Rhythm Hunters bring cutting edge physical percussion, western horns, Asian flute, deep grooves and electro beats, making them one of Australia's most exciting and in demand festival acts.
Rhythm Hunters have played alongside acts such as Nahko and Medicine for the People, Evermore, Blue King Brown and The Melbourne Ska Orchestra. Festival slots include The Woodford Folk Festival, Peats Ridge, The Dreaming, The National Folk Festival, National Multicultural Festival, Winter Magic, Psyfari, Moomba, Jungle Love Festival, Subsonic, Mullumbimby Music Festival, Island Vibes, Illawarra and Cygnet Folk Festivals.
"Rhythm Hunters shone and inspired, the intensity of the drums, combined with the poetics of dance and martial arts was irresistible". ~ Lisa-Maree Botticelli - Australian Stage Online
"Rhythm Hunters seems to be a force of nature rather than a grouping of musicians…a show that was so musically engaging and complex that it feels like you have slipped inside an ancient myth or otherworld. I was clearly unprepared for the power of this act." ~ Steve Gadd - Director Cygnet Folk Festival
Leading contemporary didgeridoo player Si Mullumby has pushed the boundaries of what can be done with Australia's iconic instrument. As a solo act, Si reveals his hidden multi-instrumental self. Combining flamenco guitar, spanish cajon and drums, he creates a world music framework to support his unique didgeridoo sound. Musically influenced from 20 years of travelling throughout the globe, Si delivers a unique experience born from choosing to walk the road less travelled.
"An astonishing solo player" ~ Guy Caron - Creative director of Cirque du Soleil
Drawing inspiration from artists such as Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes and Tallest Man on Earth, Direwolf (Matt Dewar) is a stout product of the undiscovered indie/folk movement. With the combination of deeply symbolic lyrics, a lightning quick hand on the guitar and a glowing stage presence – Direwolf has subsequently received reviews such as:
"Next on the agenda was Direwolf ...he seemed quite shy while talking to the audience, but gave us full insight into the most personal moments of his life through song. Like his song Goodbye which was so brutally honest, and although i've never talked to him before, I felt I knew his story." ~ Blake Milne
"His name is true to his music, tragic and wolf like. Full of howls and a lingering sadness" ~ Sofar Sounds, Sydney
With the release of Direwolf's debut single "Goodbye" he has seen radio success on Triple J Roots'n'all and FBI 94.5, along with performances at Oxford Arts Factory, FBI Social and The Metro Theatre.

Space Porn?

Filed under Quotes & Humor
Okay, there's a video making the rounds on the interwebs, and it's actually a pretty innocent video. It's just of a woman drinking water while in space. However, for some reason (and it might just be the way the male mind is wired), when you watch this video you can't help but think of something sexual. I mean, kinda absurdly over-the top sexual. And the crazy thing is, all the woman is doing is drinking water! Check it out…
Obviously, the cheesy music doesn't help. But yeah, kinda inappropriate, don't you think?

Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) Training: Is It Hype Or Hope?
Look up EMS training and you'll find it hailed by one lean and lithe celebrity after the other, including Heidi Klum, Elizabeth Hurley, and Madonna. But can you really replace your five-times-a-week, hour-long gym sessions with just 20 minutes of electronic muscle stimulation and simple resistance movements? As it turns out – depending on what you want to achieve, of course – you may be able to do just that.
I was excited to test out BODYTEC's EMS training for a couple of weeks and find out for myself what benefits it held for my fitness regime.
What is Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS)?
The technology involved causes 90% of your muscles to be activated through electric impulses. When your muscles then practice traditional, low-impact exercises, your muscles contract at a much higher intensity. The result is an intense, full-body workout, the effects of which you will feel as intensely within 48 hours of the session – irrespective of your fitness level.
At the Rosebank studio in Johannesburg, I poured myself into a skin-tight black Lycra suit – with absolutely no underwear allowed – that would be spritzed with water. I was then strapped into the electrode jacket, with its belts strapped around my arms, waist, lower back, thighs and buttocks, whereafter the jacket was connected to the electrodes. These are directly above the muscle, and my instructor would direct me to do simple, functional movements such as lunges, squats, twists and bicep curls.
Sounds easy, doesn't it?
Not half, it isn't. First off, the feeling of the pulses crawling through your muscles is very strange, almost like a vibration under your skin. Imagine having to lift your arm above your head, but a powerful force if holding you back. Repeat the exercise with different movements for 20 minutes, and you're out of breath and sweating. In addition, each session would be harder than the previous one, and as the intensity is picked up each week, it can get pretty painful.
This is to ensure that your muscles get stronger with each session and to encourage progress.
Does it live up to its promise?
Understand me when I say the stiffness afterward is extreme. I've done both the Cape Town Cycle Tour and the 94.7 Cycle Challenge, along with my fair share of week-long hiking trips, and I enjoy an active lifestyle overall. Nothing, however, can compare to Day 2 after one of these sessions.
On the other hand, I would say it's definitely worth it. The science behind the EMS methodology is sound, and it is an especially effective way to fit the effects of longer, conventional weight-training sessions into an intense but meager 20 minutes. As such, it is a good solution for those who need to budget every hour of their day.
It's also suitable for anyone between the ages of 16 (with parental consent) and 85 because there is a decreased risk of injury since is it a weight-free, strength workout that doesn't put pressure on your joints. If you are training for an event and you're looking to tone up and build muscle, EMS training will be a good addition to your weekly fitness regime.
Want to know more?
As a result of vast differences in our genetics, what works well for one person's fitness will not do as well for another. Our genes influence the various aspects of fitness, from whether we are better at performance training than resistance training, or vice versa, to whether we train better in the morning or the evening, and how quickly we recover from hard physical exercise. In order to better understand how to personalize my fitness regime, I enlisted the help of JOINCIRCLES and DNAnalysis, which provided me with the opportunity to try out their DNA Sport test. Click on the link to find out how your fitness regime and your DNA are linked – and how you can develop the optimal regime based on what you have been genetically endowed with.

Hank Haney, the former swing coach for Tiger Woods, was suspended from his eponymous SiriusXM PGA Tour radio show on Thursday, one day after he dismissed women's professional golf and mocked the ethnicity of many L.P.G.A. stars.
On Wednesday, the day before the start of the United States Women's Open in Charleston, S.C., Haney predicted during his show that "a Korean" would win and said that he couldn't name six players on the tour but that he would get "a bunch of them right" if he guessed "Lee" and didn't have to produce any first names.
The comments quickly drew criticism from several current and former players, including the Hall of Famer Annika Sorenstam and Michelle Wie, one of the most prominent members of the L.P.G.A. tour. Wie wrote on Twitter: "As a Korean American female golfer, these comments that Hank Haney made disappoint and anger me on so many levels. Racism and sexism are no laughing matter Hank ... shame on you."
As a Korean American female golfer, these comments that @HankHaney made disappoint and anger me on so many different levels. Racism and sexism are no laughing matter Hank....shame on you. I don't ever do this, but this must be called out. https://t.co/P18JByTosN— Michelle Wie (@MichelleWieWest) May 29, 2019
Haney, best known for coaching Woods while he won 31 PGA Tour titles, including six majors, from 2004 and 2010, issued an apology later in the day through a text message to Golf Digest. He said he regretted his comments, describing them as "insensitive."
"In an effort to make a point about the overwhelming success of Korean players on the tour I offended people and I am sorry," the message said. "I have the biggest respect for the women who have worked so hard to reach the pinnacle of their sport, and I never meant to take away from their abilities and accomplishments."
The PGA Tour and SiriusXM jointly released a statement Thursday night announcing Haney's suspension and saying that his comments did not represent their views. SiriusXM, the statement added, is reviewing Haney's future status.
"I accept my suspension and apologize again," Haney was quoted as saying in the release.
The first 12 L.P.G.A. events of the season have produced winners from six countries; six of the tournaments were won by South Koreans. Mike Whan, the L.P.G.A. commissioner, has said he considers the global reach of the women's game to be its greatest strength.
"I'm not going to waste my time on people who are never going to get it," Whan said of Haney's remarks.
The woman crowned the U.S. Open champion on Sunday will earn $1 million, the biggest tournament payout in women's golf. After Thursday's first round, Mamiko Higa of Japan topped a leader board on which the players occupying the first six spots each represented a different country.

Rain robs Hampshire after bowlers take them to brink
LV= County Championship round-up
Rain prevented both Hampshire and Worcestershire, runaway leaders of the LV= County Championship second division, from completing the victories yesterday that would have taken them even farther away from Glamorgan and Essex, who lie third and fourth and who themselves played out a rain-affected draw at Chelmsford.
Jim Allenby's 79, and the 54-minute resistance of Tom Helm, the Glamor gan No 11, left Essex needing 215 from 24 overs, a chase that was given up after only a token effort.
Hampshire looked certain to pull off a dramatic win at the Ageas Bowl against Derbyshire, who collapsed horribly after a late resumption on 31 without loss to 96 for eight before more rain brought the players off again soon after 5pm. A restart was

What Does Paperless Manufacturing Mean for You?
By: Kristin McLane July 12, 2016 at 1:53 PM
In the world of manufacturing software, there are many who aren't sure of the difference between Paperless Manufacturing and MES, and they're missing out on opportunities.
You can call any manufacturing process that doesn't use paper Paperless Manufacturing, but there is context far beyond that (and advantages for savvy manufacturers). Some believe it's just another name for a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) or Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) system, and others think it is a subset of a master MES or MOM. To understand what Paperless Manufacturing is and how it can help, you need to understand the history of manufacturing software.
The History of MES
In the 1990s the manufacturing software industry was focused on building out the functionality of MES. Software companies were searching for functionality. They assembled massive teams of consultants during the dot-com boom to build out their systems (which meant prices had to increase to pay for all those resources). Where MES traditionally provided Production Planning and data collection, now they tracked resources, provided recipes to machines, and collected data streams – all benefits to manufacturers with the money and resources to implement an MES.
The new functionality came at a heavy cost. Suppliers couldn't provide the functionality fast enough. Waterfall software development takes time. To speed up the process, companies purchased smaller vendors for their functionality, even if it was never part of the main platform. This required complex integrations between old and new software (which they now called modules – a fancy marketing term for additional cost and complexity) and between the platform, the modules, and other systems.
This led to changes in the industry, and not all of them good. In the 1980s, buyers wanted to see the software at a demo. The sales process focused on shop floor needs. You could install an MES on a large shop floor for US $1M. In the 1990s, as the complexity of MES increased, suppliers could no longer demo functionality, so the demo became a massive PowerPoint filled with speculative promises. Price and schedule increased drastically for all the new functionality and the teams necessary to implement it.
Today, MES companies are still building in new functionality (Internet of Things, the Digital Thread, and Predictive Analytics). Companies still purchase smaller businesses to build out functionality. Today, many major implementations require 2 years or more. The price has significantly increased, twice as much as systems in the past (which, frankly, isn't sustainable for any company concerned about an ROI or for most manufacturing facilities). In addition, most systems use a forms-based platform to help ease the integration of all those modules.
Put simply – the way many MES are designed increases complexity and cost, but there is a better way.
Understanding the Advantages of Paperless Manufacturing
A Paperless Manufacturingsystem focuses on workflow – the "manufacturing" in Paperless Manufacturing. The result is a robust, user-intuitive system providing broad and widely-applicable workflow and business process management. Systems focusing on functionality might contend Paperless Manufacturing is a subset of what they offer in functionality, however, software that adds functionality through complexity and cost is actually hindering productivity and quality gains. Put simply – additional functionality does not mean additional production benefit. Paperless manufacturing matches or exceeds the functionality of today's MES/MOM systems with a focus on workflow instead of complexity or additional processes.
An easy way to understand the power of Paperless Manufacturing over a typical MES is to look at the difference in how the two systems manage work instructions. With a common MES, your existing production packets are often useless. The system provides forms to hold required information. Often these fields are custom to your operations. You are responsible for breaking your work instructions and data collections into various fields. This takes time (and a lot of money). The shop floor must learn a new process not only to use the MES, but to complete work. It's a complex process, and increases time, cost, and risk, many times resulting in complete project failure.
Paperless Manufacturing software supports your existing processes and work instructions. Loading the instructions into the software is a relatively simple process – attaching the work instructions to plans and setting up the workflow. The process can be automated, so the system is "fully loaded" for product launch. Custom fields aren't necessary, as the system inherently understands the flow of work from one work center to another, one operator to another, and can adapt when needed. Since the system mirrors existing processes so closely, and uses the instructions the shop floor already knows, training can be done in an afternoon. There are immediate benefits to manufacturers, and over time, as the tool is expanded into new areas and processes on the shop floor, the ROI and benefit grows.
The focus for Paperless Manufacturing isn't on a functionality list, but on what you can do with the software. It supports and uses your current processes. Designed around workflow, rather than functionality, the system is more cost-effective, shows greater productivity gains almost immediately and preserves your manufacturing profitability.
Unleashing Paperless Manufacturing on your Shop Floor
In the end, Paperless Manufacturing offers a significant advantage to manufacturers willing to focus on results instead of requirement lists. From revision control and document management to shop floor visibility and control, scheduling, data collection, audit records, and improved quality control, paperless manufacturing supports your production today and well into the future.
Data consolidation, another important benefit of the system, provides the key for business analytics, extending the benefits of Paperless Manufacturing far beyond operations. With a standard product platform and a far more rapid implementation schedule, the software provides almost immediate benefits.
There will be companies more comfortable with a functionality checklist – willing to invest in a large-scale implementation over a period of years, a common occurrence with forms-based, traditional MES. Once the pain of learning the new software and changing their processes is over, they benefit.
These systems require continuous investment as production needs change and the software and shop floor processes and forms must adapt, but companies willing to invest the additional time and resources continue to benefit.
For others, the intuitive workflow-based Paperless Manufacturing system offers clear advantages. Complexity and increased cost is not a sign of a better solution.
In the end, it's worth investigating both types of manufacturing software. Want to learn more, or see how Paperless Manufacturing can help your company? Contact CIMx Software today for a free shop floor analysis. We're always happy to help.

the challenge along for fun. I think it will be easier to wear a non-jeans outfit when you are going out. We are going to a local bar for dancing, so it will still be pretty casual, but we'll sauce things up a bit.
sweater tunic (thrifted and altered by me)
leopard print peek-a-boo leggings (thrifted)
feather earrings (Renouveau Clothing)
vintage Frye boots (thrifted and then cut to "shorties" by me)
Yesterday got pretty busy after I picked my son up from school, so here are a few pics of my friends and their outfits.
Rose day two in a green corduroy mini, tights, crochet to and work boots. Rose day two, (with her sweet hubby), in jean shorts, (I'll let her slide), with tights and cowboy boots.

This work-at-home deal is certainly liberating after all those years in an office. However, I'm finding that I have to give some structure to my days, even though I'm not a structured person at all. Mostly.
Yesterday and today it's worked out quite well as follows:
9am deal with email, check Shoutlife and other networks.
10.30am go bush (there's a lovely forest park just across the road)
11.30am clean pool and swim
12pm lunch
1pm start work: admin, crit, write, design, video, and possibly more networking.
This takes advantage of the afternoon as my best working time, while ensuring I get my exercise in. Days when I go out for errands will be different. Also, right now I'm not pumping out wordcount on any of my own WIPs at present, so when I take that up again I'll be sitting down to that in the mornings as I like to get 3000 words by lunchtime. Other stuff in the afternoon as necessary, and another 2000 in the evening if I'm free.
Anyway, things are churning along at a fine old pace. I've figured out the Lightning Source applications and will be sending off the final forms as soon as I hear back about a returns address for UK bookstores. My thanks to Cynthia of the Writers' Café Press for giving her address to receive my US returns. Returnable books are an advantage for all dealings with brick 'n' mortar stores, so this is something I really want to have. Whether books are ever returned or not, I'm still glad to have returnable books.
After much to-ing and fro-ing (because I'm picky!) I have approved the cover design for Legendary Space Pilgrims, with an awesome rocket drawn by Clank of aloftstudios.co.uk. It's a wonder to see my characters peering out of the screen at me, just how I imagined they'd look!
Fred's contract arrived in the mail from America, and his book cover for "The Muse" is taking shape - after much fruitless searching for a suitable cover model, I found one right under my nose, as it were. We'll be making video trailers with the same actor and I for one can't wait to see the bloopers reel...More on that later, I'm sure!

Shortly after I began freelancing in 1991, I searched my new Kentucky home for articles to write. Because of my interest in simple living and the environment, I was drawn to writing about Appalachia Science in the Public Interest. That's where I met its founder, Jesuit Father Al Fritsch.
It was a fortuitous meeting because as I interviewed Fr. Al and others involved with his organization, I picked up so many things to use in my own life. I learned to "audit" my time to see if I was using it wisely. I visited communities of religious women who made marvelous use of their lands while also improving the energy efficiency of their buildings. (Keep in mind this was long before the current national trend toward such movements.) I visited the ASPI office, which at the time was in a cordwood house, and realized I could actually afford to build a house like that some day. I began to explore natural ways of gardening that didn't require chemicals. One meeting led to so much learning!
I received a note from Fr. Al the other day. He's also an author and I'm reading his most recent book, Water Sounds, a book about North American missionary and naturalist Jacques Marquette. Fr. Al also pointed me to some wonderful resources on his website. Besides listing his many published works, some of them are available for free on his site, including 365 Soups in 2009. He followed that with 365 Salads in 2010. This year it's 365 ways to make breakfast with oatmeal. His motivation? He wants to show that it is possible to vary your diet on a low budget. It also allows him to try to live on $3/day (the average food stamp benefit for low-income people in the United States) and still have some left to support an orphan in India.
That encouraged me to think about my own food budget. I realized I do often eat on $3/day and purchase luxury items now and then. But I can do that because of the food I raise, the food preservation we do and because I cook from whole foods. Just to be sure I'm on target, I'm going to record everything I spend on food in February. That might lead me to learn more about my food budget that I'm remembering at the moment!
AS you can see, I continue to listen and learn.

Education is increasingly becoming more stressful and challenging for the students, educators and administrators. This issue is more strongly felt across Africa than in any other part of the world. More than 10 million kids in sub-Saharan Africa drop out of their primary schools each year. Even if they are able to finish primary school education, the children tend to possess literacy and numeracy skills much less than the expected levels.
Need for improving education
Currently, there is a significant deficit of skilled, motivated and trained educators in Africa. Experts believe that in order to make sure that by 2015 every African child can access quality education, sub-Saharan Africa must recruit almost 350,000 teachers each year. However, it seems rather implausible that it would actually happen. Steve Vosloo, mobile learning specialist at UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) and founder of the Yoza Cellphone Stories project, recently wrote in a BBC article "In the last decade many African countries have, against these significant odds, made solid progress in improving their education levels. However, the challenges are often too large. The "usual" tried and tested methods of delivering education are not enough."
Mobile learning is the key
But there is a probable solution. Although education is struggling to deal with the social, political and economic challenges, mobile communication has spread like wildfire across the continent. Currently, Africa is the most rapidly expanding and second biggest mobile phone market worldwide. While in many nations like Namibia, Gabon and Botswana, the number of mobile subscriptions is higher than inhabitants, the continent is still one of the lowest mobile penetration among any market. But experts believe that we can expect a lot of growth in the coming years. With more than 620 million mobile subscriptions across Africa, we can certainly infer that the people of the continent are connected, perhaps for the first time in the history.
Vosloo wrote "These connections offer an opportunity for education. Already, we are starting to see the beginnings of change. An increasing number of initiatives, some large-scale, some small, are using mobile technologies to distribute educational materials, support reading, and enable peer-to-peer learning and remote tutoring through social networking services." Mobile networks and connections are integrating education administration and enhancing communication among students, parents and schools. He added "Mobile learning, either alone or in combination with existing education approaches, is supporting and extending education in ways not possible before. "
Improving accessibility
Today, millions of African learners are carrying out their regular studies, including reading and writing, through their smartphones either via online forums & chats, social networks, instant messaging or even through SMS. Mobiles phones are now also utilised to access long-term reading materials.
Steve Vosloo added "Projects such as Yoza Cellphone Stories, which offers downloads of stories and novels, has shown impressive uptake amongst young African readers who enjoy mobile novels or 'm-novels'. On Yoza, users not only read stories but comment and vote on them. In its first 18 months, Yoza had 470,000 complete reads of its stories and poems, as well as 47,000 user comments. "
The bottom line
Presently, mobiles have become one of the most effective channels for distributing content and reading materials in a fast, easily accessible and affordable way. As the need for education revolution becomes stronger in Africa, mobile learning can actually offer some effective solutions not just to educators and students, but also to schools.

Another Strange 666 Coincidence on Nov. 5
Nov 12, 2008
A reader sent me an email to tell me this:
"I find it such a coincidence that on Nov.5 the numbers 666 appeared in the retail store where I work, all day long. I would check our check machine, and credit card machine at different times during the day to make sure we were balanced. Each time I would check, the numbers on the machines would be $666.66, $666.00 or $66.60, one woman's check total was $66.66 (which freaked her out). I thought all day long, this was not a coincidence, this has never happed before, I knew this had to mean something. Then I read your article about the lottery, and winning # 666, the same day as the numbers 666 kept coming up in the store. The American Express total for the day was $66.60."
It appears that the 666 on Nov. 5 has significant financial meaning. The primary focus appears to be NOT on Obama himself, but upon the financial system. Yet the fact that these things occurred on Nov. 5 does give this an Obama connection, perhaps reflecting the nature of his new financial advisors' monetary policies yet to come.
Keep in mind also that it was 666 years from the time that the temple vessels were taken to Babylon (597 B.C.) to the time when the temple vessels were taken to Rome (70 A.D.). Both cases involved the overthrow of the city and temple in Jerusalem. Perhaps the 666 on November 5 is a sign of a repeat performance that is soon to come.

There is No 15-Minute Evaluation, and No 100% Productivity
As I continue in PRN work, I am amazed at the "longevity of the absurd" as exemplified in an SLP's documentation notating a 15-minute evaluation for a Medicare Part A patient, regardless of their admittance diagnosis. This oxymoronic documentation is the end product of some very flawed thinking stretching all the way from Washington, D.C. through the corporate offices of rehab companies, and down to the street level rehabilitation service centers throughout the nation. At the root of this medical corruption is the germinal fact that Medicare Part A evaluations are not reimbursed financially by Medicare. So, when the patient is admitted to a rehabilitation center from hospital, OBRA guidelines which compel a "comprehensive evaluation" (Federal Tag 272) of the patient, places the SLP in the "no pay zone" of Medicare. Work without pay used to be called slavery.

I'd heard how notoriously bad customer support for this game could be, so I was understandably upset when something glitched in the game and my hundred dollar purchase to get the Driller/Dina event soulstones went through, but didn't grant me diamonds or the soulstones to go with them. I first attempted to go directly through Google Play and have them just refund the money, because I expected them to be more reliable, but they weren't capable of doing it. Apparently it's outside their policy now or something. I don't remember exactly.
With much trepidation, I wrote a small paragraph explaining my problem to Soul Hunters customer support, mostly expecting to wait half a month or a month to maybe receive my diamonds and just be out of luck on the soulstones that I actually wanted from the exchange, but when I turned on the game today lo and behold my diamonds were in my account and I had a mail from support with the exact number of soulstones I would've received from the event.
I just wanted to try to extend a 'Thank You' to the game's customer support team for a quick and exact response and let others know that if support was bad before it may be experiencing improvements as the game grows.

Advanced Squad Leader (ASL) Starter Kit #2 Improved Reprint
Samodzielny zestaw startowy Advanced Squad Leader
cena:134.90 PLN
wysyłamy w: niedostępny
Podstawowe informacje:
liczba graczy: od 1 do 2
wydawca: Multi-Man Publishing
wersja językowa: angielska
instrukcja: angielska
ASL Starter Kit #2 is a self-contained module which will let players start playing Advanced Squad Leader almost immediately. A liberally-illustrated rulebook teaches gamers ASL using a conversational style to teach the concepts of ASL. If you own and play ASL Starter Kit #1 you will be pleasantly surprised to find how easy it is to spot the new rules ASLSK#2 adds - we've highlighted the new rules so that you can skip rereading what you've learned in ASLSK#1 and get right to the new rules!
What does ASLSK#2 add? GUNS! Artillery pieces. Anti-tank guns. The famous and deadly German "88". Mortars and bazookas! ASLSK#2 adds the "to hit" procedure to the foundation you learned in ASLSK#1. And if you didn't get ASLSK#1? There are two "infantry only" scenarios to get you up to speed!
This answers the inevitable question we get with the Starter Kit concept. Do I need ASLSK#2 if I have ASLSK#1? The Starter Kits are self contained. Each has everything you need to play what's in the box, with the higher numbers adding to the ASL knowledge you'll have from playing previous Starter Kits. We do not anticipate changing what you've learned from prior Starter Kits (for example, ASLSK#2 adds about 4 pages of rules to the base built by ASLSK#1). A better question would be "Do I need ASLSK#1 if I buy ASLSK#2?". The short answer is a resounding no! You can dive right in with ASLSK#2. But if you do, and you like the game, ASLSK#1 adds more boards and scenarios (infantry only) for you to enjoy. We know it's a little confusing, we hope this clears it up a bit.

Happy Monday – Well Tuesday but who's checking!
Seems like all the bands I loved when I was a kid have come back into the spot light. The Twitter world went a little crazy this week when Hanson made a flying visit to day time TV on Lorraine. They're well and truly all grown up with an impressive 13 children between them. Although they've been a little vacant from Europe in recent years, they have still been very present in the American music scene with their own independent label 3CG (a homage to their first EP 3 Car Garage), two albums, an EP, several tours, their own beer mmm-hops and their own festival. Not to mention several side projects including a four part supergroup Tinted Windows that has Taylor Hanson as frontman, and so much more.
They're currently mid – world tour with String Theory, their accompanying symphonic album. A dream collaboration with a 46-piece orchestra and David Campbell, father of Beck and famous Oscar- winning composer/arranger. Included are both new and old Hanson songs. There are just a handful of dates remaining, if you get the chance you should definitely go check this tour out. This brings me to the track I've chosen this weeks for Music Monday. Siren Call is a beautiful melancholy orchestral pop track with all three brothers playing drums. Zac singing led vocals and their unmistakable trademark vocals take centre stage, pristine and gorgeous as ever. The track has been in my head ever since I heard it.
Go take a listen and let me know your thoughts in the comments below or over on Twitter.
Happy Listening!

Today, people prefer texting than calling because it's cheaper and a convenient way of communication just like calling. However, there are mistakes guys make while texting women.
Below are some of these mistakes:
1. Confessing your messages through text messages
Expressing your feelings through text messages won't convince her so much that you're really in love with her. Women do not like the feelings expressed through texts, in fact, a serious woman will only take you for granted.
It is advisable to contain your feelings and express them when you know them or a phone call would be better.
2. You are being too available
She sends a message and you respond immediately. Come on! In spite of how much you value her, do not hurry to answer always because she will not do it in return. Take some time before sending a text message, don't be too available.
3. You write too much
Don't you have time for other things besides her? No matter how crazy you are, you don't need to be a fan of text messages. Give him time to think about other things and find things to do for you too.
4. Waiting too long to send you a text message.
This is another mistake. Don't be the kind of man who never responds in time. I don't want to say you're too available, but don't always be late to answer your text messages. He turns it off and could lose his interest in you.
5. Send texts that are too long with typographical errors and shapes that are too short
As a man, you must be brief and, if it has to be long, stay on the point. Do not send extremely long text messages with several typing errors and short forms that you cannot understand. Long texts can keep the conversation short, remember

Algebra 1 to be required for all 8th-graders
All California eighth-graders in public school will have to take Algebra 1 beginning in 2011 under a policy approved Wednesday by the state Board of Education in an 8-1 vote.
The board decided to make algebra testing mandatory in the eighth grade over the strong objections of Jack O'Connell, the state's elected schools chief.
O'Connell accused the board of demanding high standards while failing to tie them to extra resources needed to fix a shortage of math teachers and prepare thousands of disadvantaged kids for the rigorous class.
"I fear that we're setting our students up for failure," O'Connell said. "I pray that I'm wrong."
But board President Ted Mitchell said the move shows there is "unequivocally one set of standards for all kids, no matter their ZIP code, race or income level."
Ordered by the federal government to bring California's eighth-grade math testing into compliance with No Child Left Behind, the board endorsed the mandatory Algebra 1 testing over a more moderate approach urged by O'Connell, math instructors from around the state and the California School Boards Association.
But the board members sided with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who appointed them, and in a rare move overruled the strong recommendations of the state superintendent. The governor had asked the board to make algebra mandatory and he expressed satisfaction with the result.
"California's children have already proven that when we set the bar high, they can do anything," Schwarzenegger said.
The decision was also supported by business groups and the chancellor of the community college system, Diane Woodruff.
Algebra 1 has been a high-school graduation requirement in California since 2004. Students are encouraged to take it in eighth grade, but can take it any time before graduating.
There are nearly 500,000 eighth-graders in public schools. Currently, 52 percent take Algebra 1. Each spring, they take the California Standards Test for Algebra 1.
Eighth-graders who aren't enrolled in Algebra 1 take a different exam: the California Standards Test for general math.
This year the U.S. Department of Education found that the general math test was out of compliance with the No Child Left Behind Act because it measured only sixth- and seventh-grade material.
So California was given a choice: Pump up the general math test to include Algebra 1 items, or require everyone to take the Algebra 1 test - which in effect requires all eighth-graders to take Algebra 1.
Failure to comply - that is, if the board had done nothing by the end of this month - would have disqualified California from several federal programs and placed most middle schools on a list of failing campuses that could ultimately be restructured from the bottom up.
"I have strong reservations about requiring all eighth-grade students to take Algebra 1 within three years without also offering any additional changes, support or resources for our public school system," O'Connell told the state's school superintendents in a two-page letter Tuesday.
He said that most eighth-graders who take general math already struggle with the material and that requiring them to take an even tougher course without extra help - tutoring, for example - is "highly irresponsible."
Among the eighth-graders in general math, he said, 86 percent of black students and 84 percent of Latinos score below proficient on the state test.
Shelley Kriegler, director of the UCLA Math Content Programs for Teachers and the author of a book on algebra readiness, urged the state board not to require Algebra 1 so early.
"Too many of California's students are not prepared to be successful in an Algebra 1 course in eighth grade," she wrote. "That doesn't mean they won't be. It just means they are not ready yet."
Nor does California have enough qualified math teachers to teach Algebra 1 to all eighth-graders, said Kathy Woods, president of the California Mathematics Council, which represents about 10,000 math instructors.
"There's a lot of us who are concerned about it, especially teachers in the trenches," said Woods, noting that algebra is still so poorly taught that even well-prepared students often feel lost.
Community College Chancellor Woodruff took the opposite view, telling the state board that the requirement could be a "catalyst to change our curriculum and teaching techniques to help students succeed."
Voting for the new algebra requirement were board members Ted Mitchell, Ruth Bloom, Yvonne Chan, Gregory Jones, David Lopez, Kenneth Noonan, Johnathan Williams and outgoing student representative Monica Liu. (The Board of Education is the only state agency with a student member permitted to cast a valid vote.)
Opposing the requirement was James Aschwanden, who said that some eighth-graders aren't developmentally ready to take on Algebra 1.
He and the other board members "have an honest disagreement, a philosophical disagreement," he said.
Board members Don Fisher and Alan Bersin were absent.
