Are you planning to write your Project Management Professional(PMP) certification exam and you need tips on how to prepare for it so that you can ace it at first attempt? You don't have to look further. Below are some great tips to help you make the right study decision to prepare for your certification tests.
It is crucial to note that the Project Management Professional certification is one of the top credentials in the project management field. Professionals with this certificate have a greater chance of maintaining their jobs and also possess the ability to deliver beyond expectation at projects they handle. In addition to this, they also enjoy better salary packages compared to their non-certified counterparts. So, are you ready to learn what you need to do to pass this sought-after certification test? Explore the various tips listed below and start your exam preparation.
6 Tips for Passing PMP Certification Exam
Study the certification handbook
The PMP certification handbook is a very important material you need to study as the first step towards preparing for your certification exam. The handbook details all you need to know about the techniques and process of writing the PMP certification test and becoming a certified project management professional. It doesn't take so long to read and understand the handbook because it is quite straightforward and compact. Going through the handbook takes about half an hour, and you can bet that this short reading will have a great impact on your exam preparation. The handbook is designed in such a way as to provide answers to most of the questions you have about the process and procedures involved in applying for the certification and writing the exam.
Check out the prerequisite for taking the PMP certification
Before you go ahead and register for the PMP exam, it is important that you first check the prerequisite so that you know if you are eligible to write the test or not. To be eligible to do this, you are required to possess a high school diploma, an associate degree or its equivalent. You should also have at least 60 months (5 years) of exceptional and strictly professional experience in project management out of which a minimum of 7,500 hours must be spent on directing and managing project tasks. Professionals with bachelor degrees or its equivalent can also register for the PMP exam. In addition to the degree, they must also have at least 36 months (3 years) of exceptional and straight professional experience in project management out of which 4,500 hours should be spent on directing and managing project tasks.
In addition to these prerequisites, it is also important that you have a proof that you have had at least 35 contact hours of training in project management. The contact hours include all the related project management training you have ever had. Read More Here:https://www.prepaway.com/pmp-certification-exams.html
Become a member of PMI
Registering as a member of PMI before you write your certification exam makes a lot of financial sense. This is because PMI members enjoy some privileges that other non-members don't. For example, as a member, you will have access to a free version of the PMBOK Guide (Guide to Project Management Body of Knowledge). In addition to this, you also get to enjoy significant discount on your PMP certification exam which can actually be more than the amount you pay to register as a member. It is also recommended that you register as a member of the local group of PMI. By becoming a member, you get to attend thePMP Prep Workshop and you can also get substantial discounts on some of the products offered at the local group. It is important to note that the local group of PMI is a very good source of gathering information on the PMP certification, as you get to network with other professionals and fellow exam takers.
Register for the PMP certification exam
The major step you need to take to become PMP-certified is to register for the exam. Do not only plan to write the certification exam; take the step to register for it and start preparing towards it. When you register for the exam, you have a deadline to work with and you can focus on covering the exam content before your scheduled exam. To register for the test, visit the official page of the certification. Fill in the online application form with your accurate details and submit to PMI for the approval. As soon as you submit, you will receive a confirmation number which you will use to schedule your exam. It is important to note that PMI does not conduct the certification exam themselves. They use a third party platform, Thomson Prometric, to perform the exam all over the world. Your location determines where you will be writing your exam. It is essential that you register for your exam in advance so that you can know your exam location. You might need to travel a far distance to write the exam, depending on your location.
Read over the PMBOK Guide again
The primary reference for the certification exam is the PMBOK Guide. According to some experienced instructors, the right answers to about 75% of the exam questions in the PMP exam are hidden somewhere in the PMBOK Guide. Studying the book is therefore critical for your exam success. You should go over it again and again until you understand everything that is detailed in the guide.
Get the PMP personal study course and read at least one PMP preparation resource material
There are numerous self-study resource materials that are available for the PMP certification exam. You can get some free materials on different personal sites, forums, and wikis. You can also buy preparation books from Amazon or the local bookstores around you. By going through the study materials, you can expect to learn about 25% of additional information about the exam that is not available in the PMBOK Guide. Many exam takers believe that this guide is quite boring and using other resources from third-party providers will help in understanding the exam topics. The resource materials will interpret the concepts, techniques, and tools from the PMBOK Guide and provide examples that you are conversant within your regular project management role to help you understand the concepts of the book.
Earning the PMP certification is not difficult if you invest some time and effort in the study. The first step to achieving your success is to understand what you are required to study during the exam preparation and go all out to cover all the bases.

A good friend of the Regiment is now on LJ. Please welcome BJ, who goes by carpe-nocturnum-93. She's the young woman who lived with the Baldwin family one summer and came to dance and shows. She now lives with her father, who doesn't want her to participate, but she's on Facebook under her real name, and she's here. It would be good for her to have friends.2 comments | post a comment
One of the blog I check in on put this up, it have been making the rounds in some of the other eras out their and thought I would share it here.
A year and a half ago I started spinning worsted so I could weave a tartan fabric for an arsaid, which is essentially the feminine equivalent of a greatkilt; three widths of fabric pleated into a belt, capable of covering the wearer from her head to her heels. These are generally a tartan pattern on a white background, so I have a lot of white worsted spun up and I've been dying wool to spin into stripes.
This is the second year that colgaffneyis has provided ornament to a Scottish-themed party in White Bear Lake. I thought I would post the details of what we did so that those who come after have some idea of how to work it. Our hosts were RM and his wife EM, and his general factotum JB. A preteen girl in a tiara was presumably a daughter of the house.
Woot! I found the most amazing thing in the free bin at the Weaver's Guild. It's an antique, two-harness table loom. Almost all wood; wooden ratchets, wooden pawls; just a few metal screws and some mild steel rods. It's set up for thread heddles, which I will have to make, and get this: The reed is actually made of reed!
You-know-who has had *two* going-away parties, and hugs and best wishes, and just called me to say that she needs to drop by tomorrow with the hailshot and Captain's armor.
We had a lovely Pub Night at Merlin's rest; just Yoders, Sarah and Myron, ourselves and my mother, on a night that was quiet enough we could easily have had another table or two; unlike some past pub nights.
Gee, I wish the Colonel would spring for champagne every dance night . . . OTOH, I suppose I don't want to be giving going-away parties for dear and valued members every week; we'd run out of members awfully fast that way.
1. Are there any "nationality" spins for recruiting? (do it for your country/king/queen/honor?)
Part of an on-going list . . .
Anyone still pay attention to this blog?
I was confronted with this problem at Charles City. I had read about this but never actually done it before. Eventually one the more experienced members came by and showed me how to do it his way. I watched carefully, and am here recording what I saw. I have amplified this with additional comments where appropriate.
There is a wooden box with supplies for musket maintenance. In it you will find eight dowel sections that screw together to make two long rods that can be used to clean the inside of musket barrels. Take the thick set of these and put them together. You will also find a metal piece with a small eye that screws into one end of the rod, and a bag with small fabric scraps. The basic idea is that you want a long rod to which you can attach a small rag. With this you are going to clean, dry, and oil the inside of the barrel. I suppose you could improvise with a 4 ft., 1/2" diameter dowel, drilling a 3/16" or 1/4" hole through one end perpendicular to the dowel axis.
Put a small twig/touthpick/whatever in the touch hole to close it. Pour some hot soapy water (roughly 1/2 cup) down the musket barrel. Cover the end of the barrel and shake vigorously. Take your rod, put one of the fabric scraps through the eye, and thrust it down the barrel. The scrap will scrub the inside. Turn it around and move up and down several times to wipe the inside. Pull it out. The fabric scrap will be dirty black.
Note: The other rod sections can be assembled and have a couple brushes that can be attached at the end. This might be helpful if the musket is really dirty.
Turn the musket muzzle end down to let the water (really dirty water) drain out. Unblock the touch hole. Since the water was hot it should dry quickly, but just to be sure...Take your rod and put another fabric scrap through the eye. Thrust this down the barrel and rub it about to dry the inside. Extract it.
In the supply box you will find a container with a leather closure, filled with a thick gunky oil. In appearance and consistency it seems like neatsfoot oil or mink oil. Take another fabric scrap, cover it thickly with the oil, and stick it through the eye of the rod. Use this to oil the inside of the barrel with the same procedure as above.
Now take a larger rag. Oil it well. Rub all the exposed exterior surfaces of the musket--metal and wood--thoroughly.
There are various references about cleaning muskets on the web. Mostly they talk about about flintlocks, but what they say about the inside of the barrel also applies to us.

Hey, guys, I actually dug the white carrots before the ground turned completely to rock!
We've got probably 3 dozen hand-dipped bees wax candles that we bought for use after hours at events, but discovered they must have cut the bees wax with parafin because they are really drippy especially in warm weather. Anyone want them? They're free.post a comment
I stumbled on to a Myspace group aimed at discussing "the LONG SPEAR used by infantry around the world
What was everyone's opinion of the Des Moines ren faire last weekend? (Other than the weather, that is?) Despite it being far away and wet and miserable, is anyone interested in doing it again?
Every once in a while I run across a Renfair, or SCA Scot who has on their body practically as many weapons as he can possibly carry, and claims that Highlanders were known for carrying lots of blades/weapons. (In the old days of Clann we had a couple guys like this) But I've never seen an explanation of where this idea comes from.

Kolten Wong knew it was a bad one even as it was happening.
The pinch runner, who came in for Allen Craig with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning of Game 4 on Sunday night, got himself a little too far away from the first base bag as Red Sox closer Koji Uehara worked on Carlos Beltran. Uehara made him pay for it.
Uehara threw an unsolicited pick-off to first base, and Mike Napoli grabbed and tagged, ending the game and giving the Red Sox the 4-2 victory. Uehara said after the game that no one told him to make the throw, but he felt it, and it paid off.
Wong's instincts weren't as great. He said later that his foot buckled as he tried to move back, delaying him just enough that he couldn't get to the base in time. It was a rough way to end the game, especially with Beltran at the plate.
The disconsolate Wong took to Twitter after the game to apologize to Cardinals fans. See what he had to say below.
All i want to say is i'm sorry #CardinalNation I go out everyday playing this game as hard as I can and leaving everything on the field.—

Please pardon the dust in the wool room. I acquired some shelves* and have been stuffing them with yarn and fiber.
This is most of my sock yarn. Seeing it all in one place is a little alarming. There is quite a bit of lovely stuff here. I need to knit faster, give away more socks (and perhaps yarn, too), and stop buying souvenir sock yarn when I travel.
*Shelf acquisition is bittersweet. I bought them from Knit Happens—at the going out of business sale. It is sad to lose the LYS that welcomed me after we moved from Boston

AS George Osborne took to the dispatch box to give his last budget before the General Election, the brewing industry held its breath.
Pub companies, landlords and breweries were hoping for an historic third annual cut in beer duty, which would help boost business and improve the outlook for them all.
And as the Chancellor announced yet another 1p reduction in the tax, they were not disappointed.
Richard Westwood, Marston's managing director, said: "This is great news for the industry which employs nearly a million people across the UK.
"This third consecutive reduction in beer duty, which we have constantly called on the Government to act upon, enables businesses to continue investment as we have demonstrated with our £7 million state-of-the-art bottling line in Burton, opened just over a year ago.
"This further reduction means more long-term planning, more jobs and better prospects for the sector."
Frederic Landtmeters, managing director for Molson Coors said the move was 'warmly welcomed' by staff at the firm's Burton base.
He said: "The successive duty cuts have not only given a much-needed boost to beer drinkers across the UK, but have helped the wider industry benefit from extra investments – including more than 16,000 new jobs created within the sector."
Figures suggest the move has also helped a lot of pubs to remain open.
A two pence reduction in cider duty was also announced, along with a penny reduction for the duty on spirits.
In the Budget, delivered yesterday afternoon, Mr Osborne paid tribute to Burton MP Andrew Griffiths for his work campaigning for the cut.
Mr Griffiths told the Mail: "I think this is absolutely fantastic news and really important for all the people in Burton who are employed in brewing and pubs.
"This historic third duty cut will help to secure important companies like Marston's and Molson Coors and help micro-breweries such as Tower and Burton Bridge.
"We all value the community pub, and bringing down prices will encourage more people to drink responsibly in our pubs."
The British Beer and Pub Association called Mr Osborne a 'hat-trick hero'. Chief executive Brigid Simmons said: "Cutting beer duty supports a British industry which contributes £22 billion to gross domestic product and supports almost 900,000 jobs."

Health & Biosciences
The health and wellness sector remains a major employer across the local, regional, and provincial economy. Primary care delivery – through hospitals, ambulatory health care, and nursing and residential care – represents a significant resident employment. Medical and equipment supplies manufacturers, dentists and other health care practitioners, and hospitals account for the majority of activity, with local business growth trends showing opportunity in areas like primary care delivery (e.g. hospitals, other medical practitioners, home health care) and manufacturing (e.g. medical equipment and supplies).
The health and bioscience industry is primarily composed of businesses in agriculture, manufacturing, professional services, and health care and social assistance. The health sector presents ample opportunities for growth due to the region's aging demographics, but also the opportunities to leverage traditional strengths in manufacturing and agriculture to support biotechnology and biosciences.

Let's say you build xorg-server-git, it takes 20 minutes and you install it with pacman. The next day, an upstream commit changes 5 lines in one file and you decide to stay on top of things and have your installed xorg-server-git update to reflect this. Only one file needs to be rebuilt but makepkg will still make you wait 20 minutes. I've resorted to make installing untracked files more than once because of this. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Birdies are the brief this week in Portugal as the 7,200 par 71 Oceanico Victoria Resort Course plays host to the Portugal Masters. Average to generous width fairways with the rough down means the bombers will have a big advantage; Greens are large and extremely undulating so as usual, accurate approach play will be key....
Alex Noren is a player that more often than not comes into my thoughts at a setup like the Portugal Masters. Currently he seems to be enjoying himself over there as this recent quote from his Twitter would suggest: "In Portugal having a blast with Mr. K. Broberg! #holesomeputts", and after some time away from the course, Noren returned with a top 40 at the Dunhill Links. The Swede closed with a Sunday 62 here in 2009 to show what he can do at this sort of track and the multiple winner averaged 20th place here in the five editions prior to his MC last year - a quote of 50/1 with Stanjames looks a good ew price.
Scott Jamieson's opening Portugal Masters price of 125/1 is a bit surprising to me, albeit a welcome one! Showing progressive form of 67-23-17, Jamieson posted a 12th place finish here last year and he continued showing signs of his return to form last week at the Seve trophy. The course set up should suit the big hitting Scotsman, to whom a fast start isn't alien, and I'll also be backing him EW in the first round leader market at 100/1 with Stanjames

A Sermon for Veteran's Day Weekend, 2014
On this weekend, we rightly honor the men and women who have it in their hearts to put their lives on the line to make sure that we have our freedom.
But Veteran's Day also serves as a reminder that we must continue to work towards the day when there will be no longer any need of people to bear arms to defend nations and their interests.
How do we get there? I suggest that it might begin by looking into our own hearts and considering what our fears are…

"EVERLY is a film in which Salma Hayek must stay alive in an apartment while confronting wave after wave of increasingly volatile and vicious Yakuza gangsters. It is pretty much as awesome as it sounds," described BadassDigest. MovieFone described it as "a symphony of exploding heads and bullets."
To score this 'symphony,' Director Joe Lynch turned to frequent collaborator Bear McCreary. Lynch said, "Bear and Team McCreary (including his lovely muse Raya and badass brother Brendan, who worked on the holiday tracks) were the sonic glue that holds the madness together, and I don't know what the film would be like without his work on it."

A cappella favorite Pentatonix returning to Iowa this fall
Grammy-winning a capella band Pentatonix are known for their pop covers, but with their first album of original material, they are finally taking ownership of their sound. (Oct. 16) AP
Star A cappella group Pentatonix announced Tuesday plans to return to Iowa.
The five-piece vocal group plays Stir Cove at Harrah's in Council Bluffs on Sept. 11, part of a tour that kicks off July 12 in Salt Lake City and concludes Sept. 16 in Chicago. General admission tickets to see Pentatonix at the outdoor amphitheater go on sale March 9 at noon via ticketmaster.com.
Pentatonix played the Iowa State Fair in 2017, drawing the largest Grandstand crowd of the year. A total 10,643 attended the sold-out show.
The show announcement comes with the unveiling of a new record from the group — which replaced longtime bass vocalist Avi Kaplan last year with group newcomer Matt Sallee. The record, "PTX Presents: Top Pop Vol. 1," is set to drop April 13.
More concert news:
- 80/35 Music Festival announces this summer's headlining acts
- Chart-topping rapper Post Malone announces Iowa show, sells out venue in hours
- Two more Grandstand concerts announced for this summer's Iowa State Fair
Pentatonix has sold nearly 10 million records, a news release said, including three full-length holiday albums and the No. 1 Billboard 200 charting release of original music, "Pentatonix." The record is RIAA Gold-certified and features the singles "Can't Sleep Love," "Sing" and "Cheerleader."

Tink is upside down with her tongue hanging out, looking at me like I'm upside down with my tongue hanging out. LOL I love my Special girl.
How many times will I allow myself to be let down before writing someone off? I wrote off my mother, and it was probably the best thing I ever did for myself. How much more of grandmere's negativity will I choke down? I wrote her off for a couple years in there, but I relented. I wonder if I am too forgiving. There are certainly people I am willing to take more crap from than others. What draws that line? What is enough? And what makes me relent? Grandma has guilt on her side. She's old and miserable and controlling, but that doesn't make the things she says and does ok. I've stopped all but the most cursory greetings to other people for far less. Is it because she's family? She did raise me for most of my young years. Of course, that shines light on so very many other issues I don't have the energy to get into. I know she had a hard life. I know she struggled. But she has very little empathy. And I think that might be the key. Her struggle left her hardened. I don't operate from that place anymore. It's not how I want to live my life. With mother, it became a matter of sanity and safety to stop all communication. How will it affect me (or grandma for that matter) if I cut off communication with her? She'll think I don't love her. She'll never understand the ways I love. Is there any real benefit or detriment? Benefits I can see. The biggest detriment I envision is guilt. Is knowing that she tried good enough reason to keep talking to her, even though I loathe almost everything she is and wants me to be? How much stress am I really encountering on her behalf? I know some of what she says makes sense, but it's covered by the stale rhetoric of old fashioned hatred for anything "other".
Ah, fevered rantings (because I have a fever).

This Woman's Incredible Picture Should Serve As A Warning To All Snake OwnersBy Omar Rimawi
Emergency room doctors have, undoubtedly, the most interesting job on the planet. They see the aftermath of all kinds of freak accidents, from situations involving "foreign objects" lodged in rectums to broken ribs from sneezing to mishaps involving wedding rings permanently stuck on penises.
One woman from Oregon gave emergency room doctors a particularly interesting case earlier this month, and, thankfully, uploaded photo evidence of her visit to Facebook.
Ashley Glawe from Portland, Oregon, found herself in an unusual situation — all thanks to her ear gauges and a particularly adventurous pet.
"CURRENT SITUATION," she explained, "I was holding my #SNAKE and his #DUMB ASS saw a hole, which just so happened to be my fuckin #EARLOBE, and thought that it would be a bright idea to #ATTEMPT to make it through."
...We're quite confident every one of these hashtags will be trending on Facebook in the near future.
"It all happened SO fast that before I even knew what was going on it was already too late," she continued. "Now, #BelieveItOrNot I'm sitting here in the#EmergencyRoom with #BART #STUCK in my fucking #EAR #JustMyFuckinLuck #OhShit#SnakeStuckInEar #SnakeStuckInEarlobe#GaugedEars #SnakesLikeGaugedEars."
UGH, #BART, what the hell? Don't you just hate it when your pets get stuck in the gauge in your ear? And then you have to make a special trip to the emergency room for reptile removal?
Now, we have some questions. What, exactly, is the standard procedure for removing snakes from ear gauges? Is this something that all residents learn during their first-year rotations?
While it's unclear how the snake was actually removed from Glawe's ear, things worked out in the end because she got a badass new profile picture.
Thankfully, this moment can be immortalized on the Internet forever... And perhaps it can serve as some kind of inspiration for a new line of jewelry.

The magickal lifestyle encourages everybody to stay in concord with nature. When we'd like a device or merchandise for our magickal workings, our first intuition is to run to the shop to search for it and to purchase it. Instead, why not ponder the potential of making it your self, utilizing your personal magickal energies?
For centuries, the wand has been related to magickal workings. Although it's straightforward to purchase a wand from the shop or order it on-line, it's also a very good expertise to make one by yourself. You not solely study will discover ways to make a wand, additionally, you will be capable of expertise how the traditional cultures practiced magick and lived in tune with nature's rhythms. The extra keen you're to make the wand and use it for benevolent functions, the extra highly effective your wand will turn out to be.
To make a wand, you will have a department with the size and width of the wand that you want. The very first thing you might take into consideration is getting a pointy knife and slicing a department off a tree. Wait! All you want is a department that's so long as the size out of your elbow to the tip of your center finger. You might discover branches or twigs mendacity underneath the timber within the neighborhood. If you will have a whole lot of decisions, decide up the department that by some means will get your consideration. By the best way, any sort of wooden is sweet for wands. Traditionally, nevertheless, the wooden from timber like Cedar, Apple, Oak, Birch or Ivy is used. If you're unsure, it might be higher to make use of wooden that's historically used to make furnishings. That would inform us if the wooden is secure or falls aside after a while.
The greatest time to start out work on the wand is Wednesday at sundown. Choose a day when you will discover a while to look your neighborhood park for the most effective wand that may assist you. Prepare the wand by slicing off the branches that you do not want with a pointy knife. Allow the wand to dry undisturbed for A to S days.
When the wooden is dry, sand it easily utilizing sandpaper. Carve designs runes, symbols, your mantra, and so forth on it with a pointy knife. Buff with a delicate material after coating the wand with mineral oil. Allow the wand to dry for a day or two in order that the oil seeps into the wooden and makes it much less brittle. Make little shallow depressions on the wand and adorn the tip or all the wand with picket beads, rhinestones, crystals, and so on. You might use scorching glue gun or Elmer's glue to make them everlasting. Always select solely the decorations that really feel magickal to you. Again, attempt to not purchase them however slightly discover them outdoors already "manufactured with love" from nature!
You may additionally add a wire loop so as to add further charms and talismans to the wand. It can also be fantastic so as to add bits of nature, akin to shells, moss, dried flowers, leaves, seeds, nuts, and so forth. All issues in nature have magickal power. The wand you make will all the time provide help to in very particular methods.

Pythium Root Rot in Tobacco Greenhouses
Tobacco greenhouse affected with Pythium root rot. The yellow patches are trays with severe symptoms of Pythium root rot.
Yellow foliage of tobacco seedlings is a symptom of severe Pythium root rot occurrence.
Brown roots is another symptom of Pythium root rot.
Structures of Pythium spp.
Pythium structures in a tobacco root (microscopic observation).
Mina Mila and W. A. Gutierrez
This disease has become very important for tobacco seedlings because the mechanism of Pythium dissemination is very adapted to float systems used in tobacco production in greenhouses. Zoospores can swim and therefore easily move throughout the seedling bed in the water and reach epidemic levels in a short time. If infected plants live, their vigor is reduced, resulting in poor quality transplants.
Symptoms of Pythium Root Rot
Symptoms are usually observed when roots start to grow down to the bottom of the tray into the water. First symptoms on seedling beds are observed as round, yellow areas that in a few days will cover an entire section of the greenhouse (Figure 1). The lower leaves turn yellow and plants wilt (Figure 2). Roots become light brown to gray colored in the early stages of infection (Figure 3). In a few days roots will become brown to gray with a slimy texture. These infected roots later will fall off, leaving seedlings without a root system.
Causal Organism
Five species of Pythium have been identified as possible pathogens affecting tobacco transplants: Pythium myriotylum, P. dissotocum, P. irregulare, P. volutum, and P. spinosum. P. myriotyilum and P. volutum are the most aggressive species affecting tobacco seedlings at water temperatures above 72 F. No above ground symptoms have been observed with the other Pythium species at 72 F, but seedlings do have root rot and a poor root system at transplanting time.
Pathogen Biology
The pathogen, Pythium, lives in water, where it will produce sporangia, the fruiting body (Figure 4). The sporangia will form zoospores which will swim around roots, infect, and colonize them. Zoospores are the main means of dissemination of this pathogen. Pythium will also form resting structures (chlamydospores and oospores) that will allow them to survive in pieces of infected roots trapped in the crevices of the styrofoam trays (Figures 5,6). Aggressive isolates can kill seedlings in a few days. The severity of Pythium on tobacco seedlings will depend on the growth stage when the disease starts. Without controlling the disease, plants that get infected as late as 45 days after seeding and will not reach the adequate size and vigor needed for transplanting.
Disease Management
Tray sanitation. Thoroughly wash previously used trays and allow them to dry. Fumigate with methyl bromide at 3 lb/1000 cubic feet. Do not depend on dipping trays in any sanitation product, including bleach to kill fungal pathogens.
Water quality. Do not use water from ponds or creeks in your greenhouses. Water from these sources could be primary sources of inoculum for Pythium.
Fungicides. See NC Agricultural manual: http://ipm.ncsu.edu/agchem/6-toc.pdf

Decentralized collaboration between companies, small teams and individuals could unleash innovation and growth in the real economy. Financialization and politics have held back business and society.
In the 1990s we understood that the world needed a paradigm shift. The Cold War had ended. The world was entering an End of History or a Clash of Civilizations. Aging populations would bankrupt the welfare states in the next decades. The post-colonial west had to evolve beyond reliance on cheap third world labor and find a way to grow and compete on equal terms with emerging economies.
The internet emerged as a great decentralizing and equalizing force. Universal access to information and communication would bring down borders, remove the middlemen, level the playing field. Kids working from their bedrooms could take on dinosaur multinationals. Big business embracing the challenge would become more nimble and competitive. Real growth can only come from technology-driven innovation.
The virtual frontier promised a new way of life for a new century. We would work for ourselves, from home, collaborating remotely with individuals and companies anywhere on the planet. Commuting could be eliminated. We would control our own destiny, keep the fruits of our labor. The information sectors - media, advertising, later ecommerce - were the first to see the benefits of the new economy.
The internet became conflated with an information society and the ideological concept of a post-industrial service economy; dirty manufacturing would presumably be done on another planet. The digital revolution also got caught up in financialization. Speculation helped build out the internet infrastructure, but when the dotcom bubble collapsed around 2000, much of the idealism and optimism of the early internet went down with it.
After 9/11 the internet morphed into a tool for an Orwellian surveillance society. 'They trust me,' Mark Zuckerberg wrote about the first Facebook users. 'Dumb fucks.' The guiding principle for web 2.0 became the vaguely fascist wisdom of crowds. Personal data collectors with seemingly limitless access to capital were able to suck up much of the value on the internet and monopolize entire industries.
When the reinflated financial sector crashed again, the political response was more centralization, exponential government expansion and increasing authoritarianism. The west gave up on liberal principles and followed China's model of central planning and debt-fueled "growth". Central bank interventions inflated asset prices, increasing inequality. The thread of another Great Depression was turned into the reality of a Great Stagnation. Technology, trade and immigrants were blamed.
None of this was inevitable or a natural outcome of technology or capitalism. Opportunity and social mobility declined, because the market became less free and open. Government picked winners and losers, propped up a status quo. Technology is still the great equalizer. Decentralization is now getting a second look. Blockchain could help solve the problems caused by fiat currencies and centralized control over the means of production.
Cryptocurrencies for now have become another speculative asset, but distributed ledger technology and smart contracts have potential to fulfill some of the early internet promises; to remove middlemen, automate transactions, connect the internet with real world assets and processes. Blockchain applications could anchor accounting in math instead of in "trusted" central authorities that count the deficits on their books in trillions.
Blockchain is the next phase in an ongoing digital revolution. The future will be decentralized and self-organizing - how nature works. Leaders will head this way. Any market can and will be decentralized. Unicorns that centralize generic markets like room rentals or ride sharing will be replaced by decentralized peer-to-peer markets. Automated transactions will transform supply chains and how we design and manufacture physical goods.
Modified Ventures has covered these themes since 2010 with regular Geoweb and Design for Manufacturing Summits in New York, Toronto and London. The summits bring together different parts of changing industries, to promote innovation and growth for companies and opportunities for younger generations.

In this post, we are here to enlighten you about how to utilize the most memorable space of your home and convert it into a haven of beauty and calmness. We are here to guide you throughout this entire process of transforming your home's outdoor Patio space into a place you'd feel like sitting all day inside!
Let us start! Here we go.
What is a Patio?
For those of you, who do not know about what a Patio space is, we are here to tell you all about it.
A Patio is an outdoor garden space which is situated in bigger sized homes. If you live a mansion, a villa or a Bungalow, you might as well have a garden to your disposal. A Patio space is a properly arranged space of seating which is situated and designed in gardens. If you happen to live in a smaller sized house, the roof will be equivalent to a garden. A patio space will then be a designated seating space on your roof.
How is a Patio space designed?
Every home's Patio space is considered to be the most wonderful and the most beauteous space of the entire home. According to renowned architects and Interior design experts, A Patio must be necessarily constructed in an outdoor space. The essence of the Patio comes alive in its truest form amidst natural surroundings. Every Patio space must consist of a calm and a mellow ambiance. A Patio space need not be fancily designed or be crowded. When it comes to designing a Patio, a little goes a long way.
The first element needed by every pretty Patio space is the presence of an adequate seating space. The seating space for your Patio needs to be utterly comfortable as well as minimal in look. It is usually suggested to opt for furniture which is easy to be maintained and cleaned on a daily basis.
Since the Patio is located in outdoor spaces, a low maintenance or durable furniture would not only save the hassles of daily cleaning but it will also be able to withstand every weather. Lighting in the patio must be soothing and less. You do not want to put up those huge lamps in the Patio. Instead, we would suggest you to opt for lamps which are smaller and emit a minimal light.
You can opt for LED lamps or even cloth and hanging lamps.
A pretty and sleek little coffee table would add that extra bit of charm to your patio and you will be able to use the same.
Lastly, every patio space must have some or the other form of shade over it. While some Patios have a dome shaped covering over them, others choose to have simply designed ceramic or wooden shades.
For determining the right shade for your patio, we will suggest you to consult any outdoor patio builders. Such builders are expert outdoor artists and specialize in Patio landscaping and construction services.

As your teen goes through the myriad of hormonal changes that accompany puberty, they can easily be filled with insecurities as they start to notice the opposite sex. This insecurity can lead to a variety of social avoidances and behaviors that may be overwhelming for many parents to try and deal with on their own. It is important for your teen to be secure in social settings with the opposite sex. When your child is confident in these settings, they may make better life and relationship choices. To help point things in that direction, we offer online therapy and counselling here at GoMentor.com that can help teens learn how to have a healthy and positive relationship.
Relationships with the opposite sex are very confusing for teens. Their bodies are telling them that they are adults, but their minds are still not yet mature enough to be considered an adult or to be able to cope with adult consequences. These feelings of confusion can lead to poor relationship decisions like finding themselves in comfortable situations, inadvertently putting themselves in dangerous situations, or having sex too early. With the consequences of unsafe sex being so serious in this day and age with the rise of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, this can be a very serious concern. It is very easy for a teenager to listen to their body instead of their feelings, because they are not yet sure if they can trust their emotional instincts or not. Peer pressure is also a very important factor in teenage sexual decisions. Chances are, if your child's friends are dating or having sex, they are more prone to feel pressured to do the same.
The most important tool a parent can have is open communication. Encouraging your child to speak their minds will increase their abilities to express them to the opposite sex. Do not shy away from your teen if they ask you about sex. Give them all the facts to help them make the decision that is right for them regardless of outside influences and to make certain that they are prepared for their choices. You shouldn't overly restrict your child in their relations with the opposite sex as this can lead to feelings of rebellion. Another option if you are feeling overwhelmed is getting help.
Here at GoMentor.com, you can get confidential help from therapists who can provide you and your teen with tools to help them through this difficult transition from child to adult. These online counsellors are trained to deal with adults and children to better serve your needs. Sign up to GoMentor 24/7 and get confidential online therapy now, no matter where and when.

When I first bought the yarn for this blanket, I felt guilty for spending the money, even though RedHeart has always been fairly inexpensive. I originally bought six skeins for my green blanket; two shades of green and one shade of tan; my thinking was that each skein would make a stripe. I was going through a divorce when I cast on for it. Somehow I always felt comforted when I worked on it, no matter how difficult things were. It's been in actual use ever since I got enough of it put together
|This was taken in July of 2008, when there were still only three colors
I also learned a lot about knitting during this project. For instance, when I sewed the first few pieces together, I had no idea how much they would draw up; the piece was much shorter than I expected, so I had to add rows. At the time, I had no idea that you could unbind the bound-off stitches. Thanks to knitting button bands for sweaters, however, I had learned to pick up and knit, so that's what I did. You can just see the odd-shaped stripe in the middle sections:
|Here we see the importance of learning to un-do…
When I finally got the stripes long enough, I realized the six stripes I would be able to make from my original six skeins would not be wide enough, so I added more green and a green-brown multi to lighten things up a bit. While I was knitting with the multi, I learned that multi-colored yarns are not as thick as solid-colored yarns. I still needed to add some width to the blanket, but I didn't want to use more of the multi-color, nor more of the tan since it looked kind of drab, so I decided to go with more green and a darker brown:
|Here we learn the importance of dye lots…
|This was taken in December of 2010; blanket is bigger and with more colors, but still holds cats just fine
By the time I bought the last batch of yarn for this thing, I was married to my darling Hubby, who scoffed at the notion that knitting was a selfish or wasteful hobby, bought me yarn instead of flowers after an argument, a knitting machine (Vera) so I could churn out big stuff quickly, and who has accompanied me many times to our LYS to watch me ooh and ahh over the yarns. So now, 10 years after starting this blanket (5 of which we have been together), he and I get to share it for many years to come:
|Boo-yah; we win.

What is "I.L.T"? And How Do I Do it?
What is "I.L.T"?.. If you study top entrepreneurs, you will often hear this term. But, what is it? How do I do it?
I is short for invest. Invest time or money. But often both! You can't be cheap on investing in yourself. Short the other areas, but not yourself. You must Invest to start the "I.L.T"
L is short for learn. When you invest your time and money, be sure to take notes, study, do everything you can to apply and make record of what you learn. Me, I keep all of my notes from books,webinars, calls, etc… in Evernote. This is a cloud based filing system that I use in many areas of my life. I love it!
T is what I'm doing right now, Teaching. Every time you learn something, teach others!

Many novels have portrayed London as a city beset by profound problems, often with memorable and disturbing accounts of a dystopian future. Cathi Unsworth unravels Derek Raymond's A State of Denmark and its dark satiric tale of a journalist in exile from a British dictatorship and a country living under government propaganda and spin, China Miéville introduces J.G. Ballard's The Drowned World in which the city is succumbing to global warming and rising water levels, and Iain Sinclair explores the energetic and insane sequences of London trajectories in Louis-Ferdinand Céline's London Bridge. The discussion was chaired by Andrew Whitehead.
The London in Fiction series is organised in collaboration with London Fictions, a website exploring representations of the city in fiction.

It's an all too common occurrence for clinical decision support alerts to misfire or otherwise malfunction. And that's a common frustration for clinicians. New research in the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association shows how data scientists at Partners HealthCare are making use of provider feedback to spotlight and fix CDS errors.
Rule-based alerts in the electronic health record could help notify physicians of risks such as adverse drug interactions or nudge them to add relevant information to the EHR.
But such alerts can also malfunction, break, or might be triggered for the wrong reasons or patient populations. That could cause alert fatigue or pose safety risks.
The variety and types of these misfires can vary widely – as can clinicians' responses to inaccurate CDS alerts.
"In prior work, we developed a taxonomy of CDS alert malfunctions based on 68 cases of alert malfunctions collected from healthcare institutions in the United States," wrote Partners HealthCare researchers in JAMIA.
They also researched the ways in which those errors were found.
"Although the most common discovery method in the sample was user reports via traditional channels such as the help desk, safety reports, and contacting CDS maintenance personnel, five malfunctions were discovered by reading free-text override reasons written by providers when overriding alerts," they said.
"These malfunctions were discovered at our own institution, by chance, when a student researcher was reviewing alert overrides and noticed that some comments seemed to express strong frustration and disagreement with the alerts," researchers explained.
The researchers pointed to several instances where clinicians made note of the inaccuracies – often using colorful and indignant language:
- "BPA misfiring: no potassium on file, but there was a K done!"
- "Inappropriate warning as K is 4.3"
- "He is on beta blocker!"
- "You are stupid"
- "This is an inappropriate rec"
- "cyclosporine is eye drops!"
The Partners researchers noted that such comments "were helpful for determining why the rules were broken, and helped us fix the rules."
It's a resource that more hospitals should take advantage of to help them pinpoint where inaccuracies are occurring in their EHRs, they said.
Clinicians "sometimes provide information in override comments or other text fields in the EHR that seem to be communicating information to someone else but in fact are not sent to the implied recipient and are never acted upon.
"Override reasons are an example of this kind of text field," they added. "Although intended for audit purposes, override reasons are typically not intended for communication of clinical information or issues with the CDS itself. Nonetheless, users sometimes provide meaningful information in their override reasons."
CDS software can be a valuable tool to help providers make more informed medication, imaging and lab orders.
In addition to improving quality and safety, it can also save money, as we showed recently in a case study looking at Saint Luke's Health System.
But it needs to be configured properly and embraced by clinicians to prove its worth. Paying attention to physician feedback is one way to ensure it's working optimally.
"Override comments are a rich data source for finding alerts that are broken or could be improved," said Partners researchers. "If possible, we recommend monitoring all override comments on a regular basis."
