Issue 32 features the work of Jessica Le Bas, winner of the 2005 Bravado Poetry Competition. She has been writing poetry since the age of six, and has spent the last twelve months as a full time writer.
Three sample poems can be found here: under, cross over by our featured poet, Jessica Le Bas, Lamartine by Nicholas Reid, and The art of conquest by Ryan G. Van Cleave.
As far as it's possible to tell, poetry appears to have been composed and enjoyed for perhaps as long as language has been used. People like to talk to each other and listen to others speak. They enjoy the experience of language whether it's in spoken or written form, whether it's an immediate part of the social situation or otherwise, whether it's recorded in books and magazines, or delivered electronically by television and radio, or on the internet.
Poetry's pervasiveness and its persistence over so many millennia (in spite of its current lack of economic viability) suggests it's something more fundamental than pleasure alone – that it could be an essential part of being human rather than some kind of add-on, that it might have its origins deep in the ancient limbic system of the brain, and perhaps even possess survival aspects.
Charles Baudelaire once said, "Any healthy man can go without food for two days – but not without poetry," which at first seems a little absurd. Perhaps, though, there's truth in it because poetry doesn't have to be thought of as a few fancy words written on paper or delivered in some half-dark mini-auditorium to an obscure assembly of a dozen or so would-be poets and poetry aficionados. It concerns the emotions and a sense of the aesthetic more than anything else – allows us to experience life ipso facto, on its own terms and as itself. Without this we'd be automatons with little or no reason for survival, nor any ability to laugh, weep, love or care about the absurdity of the human condition.
"There is," according to Ryle (The Concept of Mind, Gilbert Ryle, Hutchinson, 1976, page 82) a "sense of 'emotion' in which theorists classify as emotions the motives by which people's... behaviour is explained." Some would argue that in reality it's more likely the other way around. Be this as it may, motives and behaviours relate to feelings, to emotions, to the fundamental mechanisms behind them. An intimate aspect of these is the aesthetic factor which pervades our conscious and subconscious lives, which constructs the world around us and affects all that we say and do – the poetic.
If this is true, Baudelaire is right and it's not surprising that more people are writing poetry than ever before. They're writing it because poetry is an irremovable aspect of the way people experience what's going on around them, what's happening in their heads and how they deal with life itself.

"Que me fait le
coteau, le toit, la vigne aride?
Que me ferait le ciel, si le ciel etait vide?
Je ne vois en ces lieux que ceux qui n'y sont pas!"
— Alphonse de Lamanine, "La Vigne et la Maison", 1858
Memory is a shutter banging in he wind,
moss on the sunless side, a broken window pane,
unswept gutters overflowing,
a cracked tile letting in the rain.
Be honest now. Dropped off the coach, you met
the clanging village bell. You knew you'd heard
(in Paris and Italy and on the Rhine)
others more sonorous and melodious.
Scatter dithyrambs on it if you will.
Say how solemnly it elevates your thoughts,
casts childish things away,
recalling stoic rustic deaths.
But it's only a clanging hick-town bell.
You've heard better.
Walk the muddy tracks around the old estate.
Weeds. Cow-dung. Peasants sucking toothless gums.
Could you live in poverty this way, in Milly
your terre natale? Remember that long curse
you wrote for the mercenary stranger
who would come and barter it all away?
You are that stranger now. Your debts have mounted.
Plucking their lyres when revolutions come,
even good aristos have creditors to feed.
Milly – it'll have to go.
Try to seize back the living moment from
these dead things, like
your dead love from the lake, or from the crucifix she kissed.
Did the hills really say "They were lovers"?
Was the crucifix still warm?
Only mementi mori both – reminders of death –
and all in your mind.
Say dark ivy is mourning for the broken
while the green vine lives.
Mystify it with rhyming incantations.
Still the wind drones back an absence.
Where's your consolation?
You will pray God, after death, to make another home
like this, but more so,
on another planet, under other skies.
The better-shining sun you crave is your
All your logic leads back
to death.
One thought, old man, stands like a pyramid
in a desert. What's past is past.
Your words will not revive the dead
or make the loving widow walk.
The shadow of a cypress on a white mausoleum.
A cracked tile.
A skittering dead leaf.
A shutter banging in the wind.

Do you find your business is well promoted mobile devices? Want to learn how to help improve it? If you are ready, then you have come to the right place. The tips that are listed in this article, contain advice on what you can do to create a better mobile marketing plan.
Work on your message composition. You can only use 160 characters, so be concise, but clear. Short cuts or "text speak" is acceptable when text messaging. Your opt-out message can include that kind of message, too. You can save characters this way. You can get some good ideas from some translators.
Make your messages relevant. This is the most important aspect of mobile marketing. A text message can be very personal and it interrupts someone no matter what they are in the middle of doing. Avoid re-purposing an e-mail. Your text message should be short and very relevant to the audience whom you are sending them out to.
Integrate your mobile marketing efforts with your other marketing plans. By having mobile marketing blended with online or print marketing, you present a consistent message to your customer or client base. At the same time, allowing your customers to perform the same activities via multiple channels such as mobile applications or web sites further increases the value of your customer interactions.
Always supply a call to action. Your customers need to know what they should be doing to purchase from you, and if you do not give them the answer, they will not be purchasing from you any time soon. Tell them you have what they need, and tell them how to get it.
Although every marketer out there should develop a mobile marketing plan, you should never rush into this type of marketing. Just think, you've gone this long without mobile marketing, why would you need to instantly jump into it now? Take your time and take baby steps, working your way up the ladder.
Use SMS for your mobile marketing if you want a platform with a low cost, a very high open rate, and a platform that's very flexible. If you're pushing emails in your mobile marketing campaign, SMS is definitely the way to go, especially if you're interacting with your customers frequently.
Before you read further, please visit our sponsor's website – skillsfuture copywriting.
Get permission before starting to add cell phone numbers to your database. Getting permission means you have found someone who is interested in your service or product. If you fail to get permission, you are sending messages that will likely never even be read. Sending messages without permission can also be a great way to ruin your reputation.
Split-test your landing pages to see which one performs better. This is a great tactic to use in your mobile marketing campaign because it allows you to quickly put the better material out there. By creating two unique landing pages and then using HubSpot tools, you can perform an A/B Split Test and find out which page to go with.
Be very aware of the market conditions around you when involved in mobile marketing. If anything changes that you're not absolutely prepared for, you can easily be left behind and lose a lot of business. The internet is constantly changing, especially the still-evolving mobile leg of it. Always stay prepared for change.
Keep mobile marketing to regular business hours or your customers will think their receiving spam mail. Marketing customers at inconvenient times will cause them to delete the message and ignore future emails. Unless it's vital for a specific target audience send your emails at normal business hours.
It is important to remember that not all people use the same mobile platform. In a world where people use cellphones, tablets, laptops, and other mobile devices, it is absolutely necessary to make your advertisements span across multiple platforms. This way you will be able to reach more people.
Do not send your messages anytime. People will not appreciate getting a message from you in the middle of the night. Perhaps you can even divide your customer base by time zones so that you do not send a message at an odd hour. Avoid sending messages during holidays, except if it is relevant to your campaign.
Use proper grammar and spelling when working with mobile marketing. It is ok for a 13 year old to use abbreviations in her texts with her friends; it is not ok for a professional business to use expressions like OMG or L8ER. Also try to limit the use of caps unless it is really called for as in a call to action for immediate response.
Send mobile messages out at different times of the day. Find out which time of the day gets the best response. Since you are sending messages to people with different lifestyles, some people may be getting to work or going to sleep when you send your messages. By timing your messages right, you increase your chances of success.
See, that wasn't that hard to read through. After reading this article, you ought to be a bit excited to start experimenting and trying new things. Hopefully, these new ideas yield results that work for you. If not, try something else until you are pleased with the results. That's the best part about mobile marketing; it has endless possibilities.

Once a Silicon Valley unicorn valued at $9 billion, blood-testing company Theranos, which claimed its technology capable of testing for a battery of diseases with a much smaller volume of blood and a much lower price than typically required, is finally shutting down. This comes 3 years after investigative journalist John Carreyrou's series of articles questioning Theranos' claims.
The company's founder, Elizabeth Holmes, and its former president, Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani, have been indicted for wire fraud relating to claims made about the company. The two are accused of engaging in a "multi-million dollar scheme" to defraud investors, doctors and patients.
Was this simply a one-off case where Holmes and Balwani were such skilled liars as to pull the wool over Silicon Valley's eyes? Or did investors and the healthcare industry play a part in their own bewitchment, allowing themselves to remain blinded by the promise and hope of something evidently too good to be true?

Capturing the Unicorn
When The New York Times reported the indictment in June this year, they described the prosecution of the technology startup as a "rarity in Silicon Valley". That startup founders are not indicted for fraud or sued for their actions more often is less surprising than it ought to be–startup culture prioritises growth, which means that growth is sometimes obtained through questionable means and pitch decks are frequently filled with inflated numbers and misleading information.
Investors, especially those who are looking to capture the elusive unicorn, are wont to throw their dollars at any startup that shows the slightest hint of having developed disruptive technology. If the startup is part of the biomedical tech industry, is working on AR/VR or somehow makes use of AI in a significant part of their operations, chances are that funding will be much easier to come by.
It's not just Silicon Valley
The obsession with certain types of technology startups is not limited to Silicon Valley either. Singapore has been doing its own push towards deep-tech startups in recent years.
Multiple programmes have been set up to encourage individuals to found their own deep-tech startups. Government-owned innovation platform SGInnovate, for an example, helps "launch, prove and scale" deep-tech startup technology. More recently launched is the NUS Graduation Research Innovation Programme (Grip), which will seed, incubate and launch up to 250 deep-tech startups.
How many of these startups will end up like Theranos? More importantly, how can these startups can avoid going down the Theranos road?
I. Adding value to your customers should always be the priority
In his book, Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup, written about Theranos and its downfall, investigative journalist John Carreyrou describes Holmes as someone who managed to charm others with her charisma, undying confidence in her company's product and desire to change the world. Some of the people she convinced to back her startup included former United States Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and entertainment mogul Rupert Murdoch.
In the book's epilogue, Carreyrou states about Holmes,
I'm fairly certain she didn't initially set out to defraud investors and put patients in harm's way when she dropped out of Stanford fifteen years ago. By all accounts, she had a vision that she genuinely believed in and threw herself into realizing.
Holmes was nothing if not dedicated to pursuing her dream to revolutionise blood testing. But it is this same dedication that appears to have propelled her to eventually lie about her startup's technology and its capabilities. Although the success of Theranos ought to have been closely linked to the success of its technology, at some point, Holmes appears to have decoupled the two aspects.
Deep-tech startup founders should ensure that adding value to consumers through their new technology always remains top priority. This should take precedence over increasing revenue or widening profit margins, especially if the new technology concerns human lives. If Holmes had kept this in mind, she would not have so readily pushed for the commercialisation of both the Edison and the miniLab even though both analysers were mere prototypes.

II. Surround yourself with the best people in the industry…
It was well-known that most of the people on Theranos's board at any point of time were not from the biomedical or tech industry. The choice of board members is likely to have been intentional—people who would not interfere with her vision for Theranos—given that Holmes also retained so much voting power throughout the lifespan of the startup that the board could never reach a quorum on any decision without her.
Instead of allowing the board to guide her, Holmes's choices effectively rendered the board useless in helping her make sound decisions about the company and its direction. Young deep-tech startup owners in particular should consider that while it may be tempting to have all the power to decide what to do with your own company, it is best give yourself room to be persuaded by those who have more experience than you.
III. … then make sure you listen to them
To give Holmes some credit, despite having a puppet board, she did hire many capable individuals as part of her product development team over the years. But it's not quite enough to simply hire the best people for the job—you have to make sure that you actually listen to what they have to say in their area of expertise.
Unfortunately, Holmes seldom took her engineers' advice on the production process. For instance, she insisted on the small size of the blood analyser as the starting point of development, even when her engineers felt that it made more sense to put together a working prototype of all the necessary parts, then shrink it.
Holmes also questioned her employees' loyalty to the company and, in some cases, fired them if they tried to suggest that the Edison, and later the miniLab, which were not yet producing accurate or reliable results, were not ready for commercial release.
While some measure of idealism is crucial if one wants to change the world with their technology, it is important also to let the people who work for you to ground your expectations.

"…"Herman Cain is the first presidential corporate spokes-candidate," said Scot Ross, a liberal activist who leads One Wisconsin Now, which has often mocked AFP as a front group for corporate interests. "The best way to have your issues talked about in the issue debate is to have a candidate in your pocket with snappy comebacks and easily branded policy papers which mask how destructive they would be."…"
You want absolute arrogance? According to Herman Cain, in what is a Marie Antoinette moment, says that the middle class and the poor can buy used goods and not pay tax! In other words, if you are not part of the little cabal of the wealthy – and I am talking about wealthy, not upper middle class – you are going to be paying far more in taxes. Not only will a family making say – $200,000 a year be paying 9% with no deductions, they are going to be slammed with high sales taxes.
Either Cain is too ignorant or too arrogant to comprehend that the sales tax part of his plan will literally destroy the consumer based economy we have – or once had. There is something terribly ugly at work here. Even a pizza pusher must comprehend that if only the upper 1% are buying new consumer items, our economy will be absolutely and utterly destroyed.
Is it even remotely possible that Cain and his associates in the libertarian American's for Prosperity don't want the average middle class American to have much of anything? Are they so intent upon building some sort of plutocracy that they need the rest of us as their serfs? There is no rational or logical explanation why you would create a tax system that would literally break the purchasing power of the normal American. Even the Koch Brothers must realize if no one is able to afford the goods and services they produce, they too, will eventually end up like the rest of us – impoverished.
"…Critics say state and local taxes on goods would come on top of Cain's 9 percent sales tax, leading to unsustainably high prices for many Americans. Additionally, critics claim his 9 percent income tax would hit many of the 47 percent of households which currently do not pay federal income taxes because they don't make enough money. Cain said people can switch to used goods in order to avoid his 9 percent sales tax. And he said seniors would benefit from his plan because of cuts to taxes on their dividends and investment income…."
Newt Gingrich, like The Pink Flamingo, is not a fan of the 9-9-9 tax plan. His tax plan came from a bank employee, and is now being protected by the usual tea party sources.
"...Cain has said the idea for his proposal came from Rich Lowrie, an employee of a branch of Wells Fargo Advisors near Cleveland. Lowrie is the only economic adviser that Cain has identified. A message to Lowrie's Wells Fargo e-mail address generated a response from a co-worker, directing queries to the Cain campaign. "Rich serves as a volunteer on Mr. Cain's campaign, and does so on his own behalf using his own time and his own resources," the co-worker wrote…."
"…This probably won't matter one bit to those in the GOP who find the truly likable Cain someone whose views are closer to their heart and whose way of talking — not the typical, tiresome, transparently pandering political rhetoric most Republicans and Democrats use — engaging. It could be part of a political attack ad by Democrats at some point. But it will undercut his appeal as someone who is truly independent. He is not in any way off the reservation — except perhaps the weakening Republican establishment's reservation…."
Herman Cain appears, more and more, to be a everything American's for Prosperity and the Club for Growth could desire. In fact, it also appears his 9-9-9 plan is the brain child of AFP. Several weeks ago, right after that much heralded straw poll victory by Herman Cain, a Pink Flamingo source told me the fix was in for Cain. At the time, I couldn't quite see it. Now, though, I realize my source was right.
"…Block and Cain sometimes traveled together as they built up AFP: Cain was the charismatic speaker preaching the ills of big government; Block was the operative helping with nuts and bolts.
When President Barack Obama's election helped spawn the tea party, Cain was positioned to take advantage. He became a draw at growing AFP-backed rallies, impressing activists with a mix of humor and hard-hitting rhetoric against Obama's stimulus, health care and budget policies.
Block is now Cain's campaign manager. Other aides who had done AFP work were also brought on board.
Cain's spokeswoman Ellen Carmichael, who recently left the campaign, was an AFP coordinator in Louisiana. His campaign's outside law firm is representing AFP in a case challenging Wisconsin campaign finance regulations. At least six other current and former paid employees and consultants for Cain's campaign have worked for AFP in various capacities.
And Cain has credited Rich Lowrie, a Cleveland businessman who served on AFP's board of advisors from 2005 to 2008, with being a key economic adviser and with helping to develop his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 9 percent, impose a national sales tax of 9 percent and set a flat income tax rate of 9 percent.
"He's got a national network now that perhaps he wouldn't have had 15 or 20 years ago because of his work with AFP," said Republican Party of Wisconsin Vice Chair Brian Schimming, who has introduced Cain at events in Wisconsin. "For a presidential candidate, that's obviously helpful to have." He said Cain was smart to hire Block.
Cain's recent victories in straw polls in Florida and Minnesota highlight the importance of organizing supporters and Block, who has a deep network in the tea party, "gets that side of it," Schimming said.
But Block has had his problems as well. He settled a suit in 2001 accusing him of illegally coordinating a Wisconsin Supreme Court justice's re-election with an outside group. Block agreed to pay $15,000 and sit out of politics for three years…."
Then there is the border fence statement:
"…It is not the first time that Mr. Cain has floated the idea of an electrified fence. He has told the story many times of a caller to his former radio show who chastised him for talking about building a border fence, saying that such an idea was impractical. Mr. Cain often says he told the caller that he had recently returned from China, and if the Chinese could build the Great Wall then America could build a border fence.
Last summer, after President Obama remarked that some Republicans seemed to want a moat filled with alligators in addition to a fence, Mr. Cain responded by saying that he would indeed add an alligator-filled moat to his proposed fence, which would be topped with electrified barbed wire.
In his remarks on Saturday, Mr. Cain appeared to go a step further. Speaking to a rally sponsored by the Roane County Tea Party, Mr. Cain said that part of his plan would be to "secure the border for real" with a fence.
"It's going to be 20 feet high. It's going to have barbed wire on the top. It's going to be electrified. And there's going to be a sign on the other side saying, 'It will kill you — Warning.'" At an earlier rally, on the campus of Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville, Tenn., he added that the sign would be written "in English and in Spanish."…"
The most fun part of this is that D0ug Powers, who is Michelle Malkin's little flunky, thinks that such an idea is peachy keen!
Where is Cain getting the money to power his campaign?
"…In contrast, Mr. Romney raised just over $14 million in the three months that ended Sept. 30. Rick Perry, the Texas governor, reported collecting $17 million. Still, the Cain campaign maintains that Mr. Cain's surge has led to an increase in support, according to a press release. "We have had a very successful quarter," said Mark Block, the campaign manager. "Mr. Cain's message is spreading and attracting supporters all across the country."
In an interview earlier this month, Mr. Cain said that 75 percent of his donations have come from people who contributed $100 or less…."
Will Cain's plan hurt "the little people" – those of us who do not live in the 1%? Is there something wrong with us, because we don't live in that august group, that we need to be denigrated and forced to give up our pathetic little middle class life?
He is opening the GOP up to even more criticism. The problem is that not only is Cain not being honest about how his plan will harm the average person, but the far right, who is going along with him, is also as abjectly dishonest.
"…Cain is not being honest about the impact his plan would have on the poor and elderly. Most of the Americans who don't pay taxes are the elderly and the disabled. Those people would be hard hit under Cain's plan, which would place a 9% on every new good purchased. Food and medicine would be considered new goods, and would be subjected to the 9%.
The 9-9-9 plan would also get rid of valuable tax credits that help the middle class, and would subject students and young people to higher rate of taxation on almost everything they buy. Notice that Cain's examples of those who benefit included corporations, almost all of American farming is now corporate agribusiness, and people who have substantial investment income. The truth about Cain's scheme is that behind its catchy name is more Republican wealth redistribution for the richest Americans.
Cain doesn't need the third nine on the title of his plan. His plan should be called the 99% plan, because he is going to raise taxes on the ninety nine percent in order to lower taxes even more for the one percent.
His plan would raise taxes on the unemployed, the young, the old, the middle class, and the poor. The only people who benefit from a flat tax are the wealthy. The 9-9-9 plan is a regressive tax that would take the GOP of concentrating wealth at the top to a new level.
When Cain admitted that some people will pay more he was speaking a bit of truth, but the fact is that a lot of people who can least afford it will pay more, so that the wealthy can pay less…."

OXFORD, ENGLAND — As my father's colon cancer was killing him during the 1994 Christmas season, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles unexpectedly visited my parents' home in Bountiful, Utah, and gave him a blessing before he died.
Nearly a quarter century later, I sat in stunned silence last month in an overwhelmingly beautiful little Anglican chapel in Oxford, England, as Elder Holland delivered a Christmas message about his own father's massive heart attack just before Christmas in 1976.
Until then, I hadn't known the rest of the story, a story of two dear fathers and two sons bereaved in their absences.
Every December, a member of my family inevitably mentions how sad it is to remember our father's death at Christmastime. It certainly is difficult to juxtapose the joy of Christmas with a loss of such magnitude. As I fulfilled a Church News reporting assignment at Oxford's Pembroke College Chapel on Nov. 25, I realized Elder Holland had experienced the exact same feelings when his father had heart attacks both during and after a scheduled back surgery in 1976.
"By the time we finally got to see him, wired and tubed and gray and unconscious, it was mid-afternoon on Dec. 24, Christmas Eve," Elder Holland said. "'Magnificent timing,' I muttered to no one in particular."
Christmas Eve turned into Christmas morning as he paced and prayed, alone in an unfamiliar hospital, feeling sorry for himself and mumbling questions about why he had to lose his dad at Christmas.
Then he received what he termed a "theological wake-up call."
"At 3 a.m., late-early morning in a very quiet hospital, immersed as I was in some sorrow and self-pity, heaven sent me a small, personal, prepackaged revelation, a tiny Christmas declaration. In the midst of my mumbling about the very poor calendaring in all of this, I heard the clear, unbroken cry of a baby."
The calendaring and divine grace of the timing of that birth changed his outlook. He recognized the joy the new child must be in its parents' lives. He remembered that his own mother always reminded him of the joy he brought her as a Christmas baby himself.
"With new eyes then, that morning, I went back to look at my dad, the great gift-giver who was starting to make his way out of the world on Christmas Day. He was doing so on the wings of the greatest gift ever given — the Atonement and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. I thought of another Father who gave that gift."
Elder Holland was nearly 5,000 miles from Bountiful, speaking in a dimly-but-artfully lit chapel to about 80 people during a traditional Anglican Christmas service called "Nine Lessons and Carols" which is "the tale of the living purpose of God," according to the college's chaplain, the Rev. Andrew Teal.
But I felt like Elder Holland might as well have been ministering to my family again, 24 years after he blessed my father in his final days. He said we must occasionally speak of Christmases and other days "that for whatever reason may not be as joyful or do not seem to be 'the season to be jolly.' "
His message followed nine hymns and carols alternated with nine readings from Genesis, Isaiah, Matthew, Luke and John about the Fall, prophecies of Christ and the story of His birth.
His message from Luke 2 about Simeon, "this dear old man" who held a weeks-old Christ Child in his arms at the temple in Jerusalem, balanced joy and pain. Simeon both rejoiced at the fulfillment of a promise that he would see the Messiah but also issued a dire warning that the Child's death would be like a sword piercing His beloved mother's soul.
Elder Holland said it is justifiable to ask if that ominous warning was appropriate in that season of Christ's birth. But standing under an ornate ceiling that bore Latin phrases like "Redemptor Omnibus" — Redeemer of all — Elder Holland said Simeon's prophecy to Mary was appropriate and vital. We all should see the meaning of Christmas the way Simeon saw it.
"The true meaning," Elder Holland said, "the unique, joyous meaning of the birth of this baby, was not confined to those first hours in Bethlehem but would be realized in the life He would lead and in His death, in His triumphant atoning sacrifice — remember why Joseph and Mary were in the temple — and in His prison-bursting Resurrection. These are the realities that make Christmas joyful."
It is the reality my own angel mother reinforces each December for me and my six sisters. Later this month, she will again gather her children and their spouses for an endowment session at the Bountiful Utah Temple in honor of my father. Together in the celestial room, we will celebrate the prison-bursting Resurrection and look forward to reunions.

|Forum Home > Program Management Professional (PgMP) > Is it Component Managerial Reserves for unknown or unplanned Component Risks are developed during Component execution stage ?
Site Owner
Posts: 57
Not necessarily. Management reserves can be determined during planning stage itself. Remember you should do the budget as part of the planning which means you should identify the cost baseline + Contingency reserves + management reserves in order to arrive at a budget. this happens as part of the planning process.
In a real time scenario, how it works is once when the contingency reserves are known it will give indication about the risk exposure of the respective component project so that management will be in a position to decide on certain fund to cover the unknown risks. it's at the discretion of management to decide what percentage of fund to be allocated for management reserves hence it's named as "management reserves".
However, re-baselining happens during exectuion. For example: if a component's risk exposure is reduced drastically, then the cost reserves comes down so the component's "Estimate at Completion (EAC) will become less than Budget at completion (BAC)

The latest figures released by Statistics New Zealand showed that in Dunedin there were 788,429 visitor nights in 2012 compared with 872,167 in the previous year, a decline of 9.6%.
This came as visitor nights in Queenstown rose 5.8% (a total of 2,543,499 nights), 4.3% in Clutha (82,824 nights), 5.5% in Central Otago (300,887 nights) and 5% in the Waitaki (304,456 nights).
The only other area in Otago to experience a decline in visitor nights last year was Wanaka. It recorded 664,255 nights, a 3.4% decline on the previous year.
Tourism Dunedin chief executive Hamish Saxton said one of the reasons there had been a decline in visitor nights in the city last year was because 2011 visits were boosted by the Rugby World Cup and Sir Elton John's concert.
This made 2011 a ''blip'' when it came to the number of visitors and there were no similar-sized events which attracted people to Dunedin last year.
A reason to be positive was that there were several events, including the Paul Simon concert on April 6 and next week's O-Week, which would boost the number of visitors to the city this year, he said.
The reopening of the town hall and the Dunedin Centre would also result in more conferences in the city, he said.
Otago Motel Association president Richard Hanning agreed the global financial crisis was affecting visitor numbers. The strength of the Australian dollar against the United States dollar also meant Australians were increasingly going to the United States instead of New Zealand, Mr Hanning said.
Queenstown's December guest nights reached a record - visitor nights for the month were up 9.6%, to 264,049, compared with December 2011. The previous record for December visitor nights was 240,880 in 2011.
A year-on-year comparison ending December 2012 showed a 2.7% increase in international guest nights and an 11.8% rise in domestic guest nights. Destination Queenstown chief executive Graham Budd was delighted with the result.
''As we all know, our visitor mix is creating new dynamics that we all need to adapt to.
''Holiday park numbers have declined in December while hotel and motel guest nights have driven the growth.''

"Best off the beaten path coffee in Chicago! Simple and delicious."
"Fresh and Delicious! And may I add...what a fun logo with a great back story"
"If you want to talk truly small business, the owners and founders still work the store each and every day. Their heart and souls are in it, and it shows."
"5 star coffee, friendly staff, amazing prices.
Never been to a place with a staff so knowledgeable and happy to explain any part of coffee."
Located in Chicago's Historic Back of the Yards Neighborhood
Roasted On Site, Fresh to order
About Us
Sputnik Coffee Company was born from the notion that coffee could (and should) be delicious and affordable. Unsatisfied with the lackluster brews in their office coffee pots, Sputnik founders began to roast coffee in the comfort of their homes but soon discovered that replacing bland blends inside and outside the workplace proved to be cumbersome and expensive. What first began as a modest quest for quality coffee would take off to become one of Chicago's notable roasters.
Today, we operate out of Chicago's historic Back of the Yards neighborhood. Here, we roast, brew, and serve our medium roast to a diverse range of customers. Disinterested in today's common practices of coffee puritanism, we roast an accessible, down-to-earth blend that is focused on bold simplicity. No gimmicks. No pretentious gadgets. Just great coffee.

What can a family do when their primary provider suffers from a change in employment status?
How can an individual find a safe and confidential way out of a physically or emotionally abusive situation?
Where does a homeless veteran go for crucial support services?
The unpredictability of life can bestow unimaginable hardships like this on anyone – friends, neighbors, co-workers, and family members. Fortunately, 2-1-1 is here to connect individuals in need of assistance with the agencies and organizations that can help stabilize them and get them back on their feet.
In 2017, over 1.6 million people across North America requested help combatting food insecurity. Another 4.4 million reached out for assistance with housing or utilities, and 2 million more sought support related to physical or mental health and health care. Accessible by phone or computer 24/7, 2-1-1's free and confidential referral and information helplines across the country can empower individuals in need to seek out services that can not only improve lives but save them.
Here at United Way of Escambia County, we are proud to house 2-1-1 of Northwest Florida, which serves Bay, Calhoun, Escambia, Gulf, Holmes, Jackson, and Washington Counties across the Florida Panhandle. Our comprehensive database of services in our community empowers residents to become their own advocates by connecting them to the information they need.
In 1985, 2-1-1 of Northwest Florida originated as 'First Call For Help (FCFH)'. Despite being contracted out to an external agency for a period of time, it returned to United Way following Hurricane Ivan in 2004.
In 2011, with grant funding and support from multiple sources, United Way of Escambia County converted First Call For Help to 2-1-1. This meant more than simply changing the name and phone number, however. To meet state requirements, 2-1-1 would be staffed 24/7, and the program would meet significant national accreditation standards and have the equipment, personnel, and support to maintain service during any disaster.
In 2016-17, over 24,000 people called 2-1-1 Northwest Florida to be connected with local resources. From those calls, over 56,000 referrals were given. Sometimes, however, citizens need additional help getting the assistance or support they need. Our 2-1-1 Specialists contacted agencies on behalf of 500 callers who needed this individualized assistance. Going this extra step can make all the difference in ensuring that some individuals receive the support they need, and it illuminates this team's unwavering commitment to our community.

For many businesses in Nigeria, accepting payments online offers a host of benefits – enterprises within the country are witness to the positive impact of this service – the ability to easily access services of the business and the capacity to improve cash flow significantly is not something to take for granted.
In Nigeria, online payments have become a necessity because buyers often use the internet for speedy services due to far distances of most sale points. Payments are usually made with credit and debit cards nowadays in the Nigerian market – businesses without an online platform are slowly being choked out of the system.
As a business entity, it's one thing to conceive an online business idea, create the platform, market the service but how to receive payments online in Nigeria is something to tackle with utmost care. Nigeria's online payment is controlled by the banking system with major players like Zenith bank, GT bank, CitiBank and others ; card systems are also integral in the payment cycle of Nigeria with Mastercard, Visa and Verve having a strong hold on this way of carrying out transaction.
After observing the above and keeping in mind that these aren't the only online payment systems in Nigeria but rather the most sound, a business hoping to accept online payments from the country might be startled at first sight on realising that this means incorporating with all the above – a feat that isn't cost and time effective.
But on further scrutiny, Nigeria has a viable solution for businesses of all sizes in the form of DUSUPAY – with Dusupay, businesses can access all payment options in Nigeria under one platform, enabling them to :
- Receive payments from clients all over Nigeria through one platform irrespective of bank system or card payment alternative.
- Businesses avoid the tussles of having to join all online pay alternatives or having to set up very many physical branches in Nigeria – therefore saving costs and time.
- Costs of transaction with Dusupay are considerably low ensuring that businesses don't have to spend a tonne on handling online payments. https://www.dusupay.com/pricing
- Last and most important, security is paramount ensuring that all businesses' finances are free from fraud despite Nigeria having a considerable number of fraudulent dealers.

Your Guide to a Guys Weekend
There are all sorts of fun, adventurous ways of experiencing a holiday; one fine way to shake off the city life is to head out on a mini-road trip for a weekend of fun. You can cement lasting friendships and create epic memories by going away with just the guys. From getting back to nature to following your favourite sports team, your long weekend should be a Strong Weekend. Here's some inspiration to get you crossing off those long weekend dates on your calendar.
1.Get your groom on:
It's 2018 and taking care of yourself is a thing. Why not book yourself a massage – it's a great way to get the cobwebs worked out of those muscles. Full spa experiences are increasingly popular with a male audience who are cottoning on that it's great to be pampered, and why not? A fantastic facial can give you your glow back, and a hot towel shave will make you feel like a million bucks. Spend some time updating your look with a fresh take on your wardrobe – no one will recognise you when you get back home – the long weekend makeover is happening!
2.Voluntourism for a break with meaning:
it may not sound much like a holiday, but a great way to replenish your mind is to volunteer. Join an organisation like Habitats for Humanity and build a house or two, play some soccer with a neighbourhood sports mentorship programme or clear your natural surroundings of alien vegetation – so many charity organisations rely on people like you and me, and the feeling you and your mates get giving back to the community is a reward on its own.
3.Be epic and do crazy stuff!
You know when you're with your buddies, you're more likely to challenge each other to do epic stuff – take a whole long weekend to do that, and challenge each other to go rock climbing – real rock or on a climbing wall, or go zorbing in a large plastic ball with or without water on a crazy downhill run – loads of fun and not for the faint-hearted! Dive with the sharks or bungee with the birds. The adrenaline rush just keeps you all going from one activity to the next as you confront your biggest fears head on – you'll go home feeling like you've accomplished something groundbreaking.
4.Are you a spelunker?
That's not meant as an insult – spelunking is just the term for exploring caves, and SA has some of the world's finest: the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage area that offers a unique blend of great fun and ecological awareness that'll keep you busy for hours, from abseiling into a dark cavern, to caving to abseiling and hiking in the open air of the Magaliesberg. Or tackle the winding passages that plunge deep into the mountains in Kalk Bay in Cape Town or the majestic caves of the Drakensberg – there's a cave system near you! It's recommended that you go with a specialist guide who'll provide the right equipment, so you can enjoy the mysteries of these labyrinths incident-free.
5.Class action:
A growing trend is for guys to take classes for fun, from speeding with a racing driver in a supercar, to mastering the art of cooking like a chef; with great coaches – you, too, could be wowing your friends with home-made sushi or grilling like a braaimaster. Need for speed? You can head out onto the local race track to get lessons in how to get that engine growling and the rubber smoking. You can take advanced driving classes to improve hone your road skills, too. Choose a fascinating short course to take that'll have you wanting to organise your next dinner party or hit the road immediately.
Have fun! Whatever you choose to do with your friends, make the most of it. Make sure you book time off now to make it happen, or the weeks will become months, until suddenly the year will be over. Having a healthy, happy approach to your leisure time will make you a stronger person, and your friendships will benefit, too.

Website Development for Human Resources Group
From 2009…
HRG Search is a human resources/head hunting company that focuses on executive level positions and placement. After HRG had worked with a web designer who suddenly stopped performing without notice, the company turned to Cadence Labs to help launch and operate their new website.
Cadence Labs dove right in, helping HRG choose a more engaging color scheme, proofing pre-existing content and implementing the layout their previous designer had created. We also helped HRG upgrade their server so they were able to launch the polished site. Before our work was done, we were sure to train the HRG staff so they could update content on the new site in the future.
WordPress for Small Business
Easy to Edit
Small businesses need to know how to manage their content & we make that easy with WordPress. For HRG, we chose the Divi theme to help us build the underlying components of the site.
Design Consulting
We helped HRG choose improved colors for their new site. Not only did these new hues match their logo, but the strategy of their color scheme (Red, Orange, Yellow & Blue) was based on the psychology of colors as researched by the Cadence Labs team. Carefully chosen colors was an important aspect of HRG's website development.
Content that Lasts
We helped HRG proof & modify the pre-existing content of their website to ensure its longevity.
301 Redirects
HRG's older site still maintained many webpages that the company needed to narrow down. In response to this, Cadence Labs created 301 redirects for all of the company's older pages to ensure that search engines & outdated links could find the appropriate pages in the future, even after the revamp.
The Results
HRG Search's new site is up and running smoothly. It is ready for both prospective employees as well as employers, guiding users to right where they need to be with its intuitive website design.
The site now displays a strong professional appearance that the HRG team has been trained to update themselves moving forward.

Delivering on time and budget through all project stages, from approvals to design, documentation, tendering and contract administration.
We worked with the City of Canning as a Project Manager on a number of small difficult projects. These included the removal of asbestos contaminated stock piles, providing emergency power to the SES buildings, safety audit of a stormwater compensation basin to name a few.
All the design will be performed on the latest AutoCAD 12D design package through our Designers and Draughtpersons.
The drawings can also be support by our specification document is used for tendering purposes. These are generally based on AS2125 General Conditions of Contract but we also have experience in developing Design and Construct Contracts to AS4300 and even Build, Own, Operate contracts which is of particular interest when constructing a private Wastewater Treatment Plant without the capital funding being available.
River Engineering have significant experience in all construction tendering methods from Expression of Interest to shortlist relevant Tenderers, advertised open Tenders and providing recommended Tenderers for a particular project.
River Engineering have also been on a number of Tender assessment panels with Local Government which includes the City of Gosnells and the City of Armadale. We have also provided detailed Tender assessment reports and recommendations.
We are also aware of possible probity issues on certain projects and have gone through the assessment of the Tender documentation (via an outsourced Probity Auditor) to manage such issues when a risk is identified.
There is significant experience within the River Engineering team from the construction side of the industry. This has helped in our role of Superintendent throughout the Contract Administration phase with our ability of delivering project on time and budget.
This role extends to the inspections of the works to achieve the required quality, testing and commissioning, periodic inspections including the Practical Completion and Handover at the end of the Defects Liability Period, providing payment certificates to the Principal and assessing variation claims, etc.


text: I guess it officially took two weeks for this whole swine flu thing to blow over. I was really hoping it would last a bit longer, cause I have gotten a lot of mileage out of it terms of story angles. Of course, when you are traveling to the one state where someone has actually died from the virus, it's sort of a nobrainer, right? I ended up in Dallas, TX, even though the event I was planning on attending had been canceled due to fear of the Swine Flu. Since the ticket was already bought (and it would cost more to change it than rent a car) I figured I might as well go take care of business. (more…)

Dutch court upholds blackface tradition
Each year in early December, the Dutch celebrate St. Nicholas Day with ginger cookies, town parades and shoes left out for 'Sinterklaas' to fill with gifts and sweets. Central to the celebrations is Sinterklaas's helper, Zwarte Piet or Black Pete, a traditionally beloved, but lately controversial character dressed in black face. The Netherlands' highest administrative court, the Council of State, ruled in favor of the controversial Christmas figure. The case was brought to the high court after a lower court ruled that Black Pete "forms a negative stereotyping of black people." The issue has greatly divided the country. We'll talk about the role of Zwarte Piet and the changing way he is depicted in Dutch society with Roelof Jan Minneboo, a Dutch historian who represents the Zwarte Piet is Racism campaign.

A COFFEE bar boss has struck a sponsorship deal with a Kentish Town football club aiming to keep sport "accessible to all".
The Fields Beneath, in Prince of Wales Road, will see its name on the kit of Kentish Town Football Academy throughout 2015-2016 season.
Gavin Fernback, who runs the café, said he had been impressed by how training fees were kept unusually low so that players from all backgrounds can access high-quality coaching.
"KTFA officials told me how most clubs in the area cost between £500 and £1,000 a season but that they manage to charge only £100," said Mr Fernback, a lapsed Spurs fan…

Real progress toward expanding economic opportunity and security requires a deep understanding of strategies for job creation, improving job quality, and preparing disadvantaged workers for the labor force. Our work on employment and education issues offers new frameworks, research-based insights, and tangible policy solutions.
Fixing Unemployment Insurance in Response to COVID-19
The novel coronavirus has brought sudden attention to the important role unemployment insurance (UI) system plays in quickly delivering aid to families and stimulus to the economy. This fact sheet, published jointly with The Century Foundation, the Economic Policy Institute, National Employment Law Project, and the National Women's Law Center, emphasizes the importance of focusing both on immediate changes to help individuals and sustained, structural fixes to fully respond to a crisis of this magnitude and gird the nation for the challenges of a recession and future economic crises.
Unemployment Insurance & Protections are Vital for Women & Families
Unemployment insurance provides temporary support to unemployed workers who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own. This fact sheet, published jointly with the National Women's Law Center, National Employment Law Project, and Center for American Progress, shows the importance of unemployment insurance for women and families and suggests changes that would improve the program's effectiveness for women, their families, and the economy as a whole.
Types of Occupations in Subsidized Employment Programs
Subsidized employment is a proven strategy for creating more equitable and accessible pathways to stable employment for all—especially people facing serious barriers to employment. Subsidized employment programs can increase incomes and employment, reduce involvement with the criminal justice system, improve the psychological well-being of participants and their families, and reduce long-term poverty. This resource, published jointly with the Heartland Alliance, illustrates the wide reach and versatility of subsidized employment programs by highlighting the broad range of occupations available to program participants.

Improving Education & Income Generation Outcomes for Undocumented Youth: State & Local Solutions
This joint report with the National Youth Employment Coalition highlights state and local solutions to improve education and income-earning outcomes for undocumented youth. These solutions can be advanced by elected officials, policymakers, advocates, nonprofits, foundations, and education leaders across the United States. This project is a part of GCPI's broader policy development work on the Youth Opportunity Guarantee, which would ensure access to education and employment for all young people in the United States.

Fighting Poverty with Jobs: Projecting the Impacts of a National Subsidized Employment Program
Jobs are at the heart of our nation's debates around poverty and economic security. In this joint report from the Georgetown Center on Poverty and Inequality and the Center on Poverty and Social Policy at Columbia University, we find that a comprehensive subsidized employment program would reach millions of U.S. workers left behind in today's economy, reducing the poverty rate among participants by nearly half.

The Youth Opportunity Guarantee: A Framework for Success
This report introduces a Youth Opportunity Guarantee of education, training, and employment for all youth ages 16 to 24 in the United States. After years of extensive research and consultation with well over 100 experts and stakeholders, GCPI has created a framework that integrates secondary, postsecondary, and employment systems to make long-term labor market success a reality for all youth in the United States.

Investing in Futures: Economic and Fiscal Benefits of Postsecondary Education in Prison
GCPI and the Vera Institute of Justice make the case for how lifting the current ban on awarding Pell Grants to incarcerated people would benefit workers, employers, and states. Specifically, it analyzes the potential employment and earnings impact of postsecondary education programs in prison; identifies the millions of job openings annually that require the skills a person in prison could acquire through postsecondary education and estimates the money states would save through lower recidivism rates these postsecondary education programs would yield.

In my rewrite of my old DeepNetherMod I'm currently trying to recreate the render class of the "shadow entity" from my old mod which looked like this: The code that I used to tint the ghosts and make them transparent looked like this: @Override public void doRender(EntityShadow entity, double x, double y, double z, float entityYaw, float partialTicks) { GlStateManager.enableBlend(); GlStateManager.enableAlpha(); GlStateManager.color(0.2f, 0.2f, 1.0f, entity.getTransparency()); super.doRender(entity, x, y, z, entityYaw, partialTicks); GlStateManager.color(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.5f); GlStateManager.disableBlend(); GlStateManager.disableAlpha(); } The code I used in my rewrite was: GlStateManager.enableBlend(); GlStateManager.enableAlphaTest(); GlStateManager.color4f(0.2f, 0.2f, 1.0f, 1.0f); super.render(entityIn, entityYaw, partialTicks, matrixStackIn, bufferIn, packedLightIn); GlStateManager.disableBlend(); GlStateManager.disableAlphaTest(); But the rendered entity wasn't tinted or transparent: What did I do wrong? By the way, the methods that I previously used to tint my entity and make it transparent is now deprecated...

By Kiljaeden053 · PostedSO I decided to ad worldgen to my beastmaster mod! But before I do lets discuss experiences. Ice and Fire is a mod is a dragon mod that adds only small structures to the worldgen such as an underground sphere as a cave with a single dragon in it. Yet if I play a world with it it lags. Meanwhile traveller's dream a worldgen mo or biomes o plenty that spawns over 200 biomes, with 2200 structures with trees lags only a little and comparable to vanilla performance. I want to know what these worldgens do so i can implement it and spawn my structures without lag.
By Fabillotic · PostedThe idea is a mod, with wich you can highlight a specific block area. You can just press a key while looking at a block and the mod saves the position. After selecting two positions the mod will highlight the area between them. When pressing another keybind the mod will open a GUI. In this GUI you can select what operation should be executed. ("fill" or "clone") The mod will automatically generate the correct fill or clone command and execute it on behalf of the player. This is intended to make executing commands quicker. I have uploaded a video on youtube (unlisted) that shows how the mod is used and what problems it has.

More Ways to Support You
Direct Metal Laser Sintering
Streamline your manufacturing with precision plastic and metal 3D printing, rapid prototyping metal prototypes and low-volume metal production parts that would be impractical or cost prohibitive to machine. We create metal parts using a fiber laser fired onto a metal plate, repeatedly adding layers of powdered metal and fusing them to previous layers.
Selective Laser Sintering
Selective laser sintering (SLS) is one of our most popular prototyping methods because of its throughput and capacity for delivering on large projects. During SLS, 3D objects, large and small, are created with tiny particles of powder.
Fused Deposition Modeling
Fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology is highly accurate for smooth surfaces using engineering grade or high-performance thermoplastic. This plastic material is chosen for its strength, flexibility, resistance (heat, chemical or UV), electrostatic properties, medical safety, and more.
Polyjet Printing
A polyjet printer works like an inkjet printer, but instead of ink it deposits liquid photopolymer, which is then cured with UV light. By building up layers, the Objet, a polyjet professional 3D printer, creates a 3D part.
Finishing and Assembly
Our in-house 3D prototyping, finishing and assembly facilities are here to skyrocket your prototype to production quality for a complete and finished look. We have the capacity to offer complete finishing and final assembly services in-house—creating turnkey finishing services that are flexible, quality driven, and cost efficient.

Fantasy or reality? The use of enterprise in education as an alternative to simulated and imaginery contacts for raising pupil attainment in functional writing
Deuchar, Ross (2005) Fantasy or reality? The use of enterprise in education as an alternative to simulated and imaginery contacts for raising pupil attainment in functional writing. Educational Review, 57 (1). pp. 91-104. ISSN 0013-1911Full text not available in this repository.Request a copy from the Strathclyde author
Much of the debate surrounding the use of contexts for pupils' writing focuses on the need for purpose, relevance and a sense of audience outwith the immediate classroom environment. This article seeks to explore whether there is any evidence to suggest that the use of enterprise in education may have a greater beneficial effect on the quality of pupils' functional writing than other types of contexts in the primary school. The author reports on the assessment data emerging from a small, exploratory case study of 50 pupils, and the interview data emerging from a wider sample of 130 pupils and their teachers. Although the findings are tentative, the emerging data suggest that some short-term benefits may emerge from enterprise contexts for some children, but that other strategies may result in as much, if not more, benefit to others.
