So many times students enquire with Inspire and then drop in that colleges x,y and z have the same courses but cheaper. Firstly, we would never price match, especially discounted or voucher scheme companies, but secondly these colleges offer just distance learning diplomas. Remember, a cheap course isn't good and a good course isn't cheap. Continue reading

I am one half of a two member editorial and content development studio called The Short Staff. As a full-time freelance writer and editor, I contribute to a bunch of print and digital publications including DNA India's DNA Money supplement. Here's a article that was published on May 5, 2017. Here's an excerpt and the link to the full article.
As fate of the Kohinoor continues to be a giant question mark, this April, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) announced the homecoming of over a hundred antique pieces stolen and smuggled out of the country. As the interest in Indian antiques surges, auction houses, dealers and stores dealing with antiquities, vintage items and collectables are garnering new-found interest.
International auction house Saffronart's CEO Hugo Weihe points out, "It's one area that has seen enormous growth in the past few years. But it's quite undervalued, in more senses than one. India has an extraordinary heritage of 5,000 years or more and it has really been overlooked." Saffronart holds live and online auctions of modern, contemporary and classical Indian art as well as offers services like art advisory, appraisals and valuations, and specialised art storage. Viewed on web and smartphones, their online auctions have seen sizeable activities and also exposes a larger, newer audience to the art of collecting rarities. Adapting to this democratic new medium makes auctions hugely accessible.

What Is A PLLC?
Professional Limited Liability Company
A PLLC is a specific type of limited liability company (LLC) called a professional LLC. A PLLC is formed and functions in the same way as a general limited liability company (LLC.)
A limited liability company is a business type for single-owner or multiple-owner businesses. An LLC works like a partnership, but it has the liability protection of a corporation. For tax purposes, an LLC is taxed like a sole proprietorship (for a one-owner LLC) or a partnership (for a multiple-owner LLC).
Professions That Can Form a PLLC
Some states do not allow certain types of professionals to form an LLC but instead allows them to form a PLLC. The members of the PLLC must be members of a specific profession which requires a license (CPA, attorney, chiropractor, or architect, for example). PLLCs are set up in specific states and the states laws regulate the PLLC.
State law designates which professions can form an LLC and restricts the membership of the PLLC to members of that profession. California law does not allow an LLC to be formed to provide professional services.
How a PLLC Is Formed
Forming a PLLC is a two-step process. First, A PLLC is formed in the same way as a PLLC, by filing Articles of Organization with a state. The state will require that the license status of the owners be verified before the PLLC filing is approved. In addition, many states require a specific business name with "PLLC" in the name so that the company is clearly identified as a PLLC.
The second step is a review by your state licensing board. Before your PLLC can be approved, the state licensing board for your profession must approve the Articles of Organization. For example, a CPA firm wanting to become a PLLC must submit its Articles of Organization to the accounting licensing board for review.
The PLLC and Liabilities
Many professionals start a PLLC because they want to separate their individual liability from their liability as a member of the business. For example, if one physician is sued for malpractice, the other physicians don't also want to be sued. Forming a PLLC will protect owners from the malpractice liability of other owners. For general business liabilities and debts of the business, the owners are typically protected from liability because the LLC is a separate entity. But this is not always the case, and you should consult your attorney if you are concerned about professional liability.
How PLLCs pay Income Taxes
PLLCs pay income taxes in the same way as LLCs, depending on the number of members. A PLLC with one member pays taxes as a sole proprietorship; a PLLC with multiple members pays taxes as a partnership. LLCs pay income taxes by passing on the net income or loss of the LLC to its members. The members then pay the tax on their share of the profits or losses (called a distributive share) as part of their personal tax return.
A PLLC Compared to an LLC
As mentioned above, a PLLC is formed by a state in the same way as an LLC and the PLLC and LLC function the same way, with owners called "members" and an operating agreement that governs how the members work together and divide profits and losses. The difference is in the requirement that members of the PLLC be designated professionals.
A PLLC Compared to a PC (Professional Corporation)
PLLCs and PCs are similar in the respect that only professionals may be owners. States have similar requirements for both types of business entities, including verification of the licenses of the business owners and state limits on what types of professionals may form a PLLC or PC.
The PLLC and PC differ in business type and taxes. A PC is formed as a corporation, the corporation is taxed at the corporate rate, and the owners are taxed on dividends received.

Osborn Ng'imor '18
Osborn Ng'imor '18 "grew up in Pokot County, one of the most impoverished regions in Kenya. I attended Chepareria Primary School, [which] lacked enough resources and performed poorly [on a] national scale," especially in English language proficiency. "Unfortunately, students in Chepareria Primary school and other schools in the region still suffer the same challenges….At the end of [their schooling], most of them cannot qualify admission to public colleges in Kenya. As a result, students are trapped in a life of poverty." In order to break this cycle in his home community, Osborn proposed a project to create a public library in Chepareria Primary for the benefit of students and adult community members alike.
In collaboration with teachers and the school board, Osborn selected textbooks and English-language practice materials, created a schedule for Chepareria Primary students to efficiently use the library, and marketed library resources to students of all age levels. He used the funding from the McKinley Fellowship to purchase books and other resources to stock the library. Osborn was also careful to consider community input: "Throughout the project, I maintained a good working relationship with the teachers. I welcomed their comments and advice about the project."
Osborn's project has developed his skills in organization, communication, marketing, and public speaking, and has left a positive impact on his community: "Teachers at Chepareria Primary School have seen improvements in English writing and general performance. The number of secondary school students and college students visiting the library is increasing."

Kybella® in Tampa, FL and Atlanta, GA
Excess fat under the chin, or a double chin, can be resistant to diet and exercise. There is now a great non-surgical option that is offered at Mang Plastic Surgery called Kybella®. Patients in Tampa and St. Petersburg, Florida, as well as Atlanta, Alpharetta, and the neighboring communities in Georgia, can choose Kybella® for the destruction of fat cells under the chin. Dr. Mang is a board-certified plastic surgeon and he is greatly admired by his many patients for his compassionate care and outstanding natural-looking results.
Patients who are unhappy with the fullness under their chin should know that this is a common problem and Dr. Mang offers a solution. A double chin can cause a person to look older and/or heavier than they actually are. Kybella® is the first and only FDA-approved injectable drug that contours and improves the appearance of a double chin.
What Is Kybella®?
Kybella® is an injection where a thin, fine-gauge syringe injects the treatment into the subcutaneous fat (the fat under a patient's chin). It causes the destruction of the stubborn (and often genetic) fat cells that live under the chin. Once destroyed through the use of Kybella®, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat. Treatment with Kybella® is customized by Dr. Mang to ensure your vision of a chin profile is achieved.
Who Should Get Kybella®?
Both men and women can suffer from a double chin. Extra fat under the chin can lead to unhappiness in one's appearance when they look in the mirror. Kybella® will dramatically improve and often eliminate excess fat and fullness under the chin. Good candidates for this treatment are men and women who are at a healthy weight, eat right and exercise, but still cannot do away with the fullness under their chin.
How Should I Prepare For Kybella®?
When scheduling your Kybella® consultation with Dr. Mang, please let him know if you have received any other injections over the prior two to four months. Patients should be prepared to provide their medical history and a list of current medications at their consultation. Also, be sure to mention if you have any blood pressure issues, allergies, blood clotting problems, problems with scarring, or if you smoke.
How is Kybella® Administered?
Kybella® is administered by injection using a very thin, fine-gauge syringe, and should take approximately 15 to 20 minutes. The number of injections required for each treatment depends on each individual patient. In most cases, a treatment session is given at least one month apart, and you should not receive more than six treatments. After this, no additional treatments should be required. However, it is important to continue with a normal diet and exercise routine.
Benefits of Kybella®
- Non-surgical
- Long-lasting
- FDA approved
- Minimal side effects/recovery
- Sessions are quick, with minimal discomfort
How Much Does Kybella® Cost?
Dr. Mang is conscious of his patients' budgets and keeps his prices competitive. Skin rejuvenation and non-surgical procedures can range depending on the needs and goals of each patient, therefore, it is important to schedule a consultation with Dr. Mang to discuss pricing. At Mang Plastic Surgery, we believe that a cosmetic procedure is an investment to your self-confidence, which will be beneficial for years to come. Sometimes that may be costly, and that is why we offer financing through CareCredit®.
Brandon-Dzung Mang, M.D., can help create a defined jawline by non-surgically removing the appearance of a double chin through the use of Kybella®. He serves patients in Tampa and St. Petersburg, Florida, as well as Atlanta, Alpharetta, and the neighboring communities in Georgia. Contact us today.

With less than a week before Tuesday's Florida primary, Mitt Romney is in a dead heat with Newt Gingrich in the Sunshine State, according to two polls that were released on Wednesday.
Here are the Time/CNN results, reported by Mark Halperin at 4 p.m. ET:
Mitt Romney: 36 percent
Newt Gingrich: 34 percent
Rick Santorum: 11 percent
Ron Paul: 9 percent
The poll of 410 registered Republicans was conducted from Jan. 22 to Jan. 24. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percentage points.
A Quinnipiac University poll released earlier Wednesday showed the exact same numbers, with 36 percent of likely Republican voters saying they support Romney and 34 percent for Gingrich.
"The new survey helps clarify the candidates' respective sources of support," Time's Alex Altman wrote of the newest numbers. "Romney leads Gingrich among female and white voters, voters over 50, and those with a college degree. Geographically, he is strong in the Tampa Bay area and the state's rural and exurban regions." Altman went on:
Gingrich holds leads among men, Tea Party voters, self-identified conservatives—among whom he boasts a 10-point advantage—and born-again Christians. His fans also appear to be more committed than Romney's. Four of five Gingrich backers say their minds are made up, compared to less than two thirds of the former Massachusetts governor's supporters. Overall, 25 percent of respondents indicated they were liable to change their minds.
Saturday's election in Florida on Tuesday is a winner-take-all contest with 50 delegates, which will provide a major boost to any candidate who wins.

Have You Seen Andy?
It's going to be shown on Cinemax, which I don't have, so I really hope it comes to DVD sometime. Fascinating and sad, and the era, that 1976 childhood, that weird innocent time before we knew about Adam Walsh or Jacob Wetterling, stabs at my heart.

My wife attended the premiere of this film last week. One of the other mothers in her mommy group is a friend of the filmmaker, so they went together. As coincidence would have it, though, one of Andy Puglisi's aunts works at my wife's company, and so my wife was a quasi-official representative of their employer as well.
Very sad story from a time when child abductions were not such a cause celebre. I am looking forward to seeing it on Cinemax myself.

My own amateur review of "Have You Seen Andy?" Now on Cinemax
"Have You Seen Andy?" is an amazing story surrounding the disappearance of 10 year old Angelo Puglisi from Lawrence Massachusetts in 1976. Long before their were Amber alerts and missing persons websites the search was not much more than the townsfolk holding hands and walking through the woods calling his name.
Melanie Perkins burning desire to make this documentary, was her childhood promise to find out what happened to her friend Andy. Growing up in a poor neighborhood development across the street from the State Pool, were literally hundreds of children, many from single parent households. Melanie brings her playmates back together years later to discuss what happened to Andy.
The title comes from Andy's mother's own lips as she searched for her son asking, "Have you seen Andy?" Andy's family and friends recall fondly how they remembered Andy, and Police go over their investigation as Melanie searched for answers as she filmed. Earlier the day he disappeared, Melanie had asked Andy to walk home with her, but he was not ready to leave the pool. That was the last Melanie saw her friend Andy and her motivation for years in the making of this made for HBO film.
Melanie nudges investigators to re open the case and uncovers possible leads and evidence missed in 1976. Viewers follow the investigation into the woods where cadaver dogs pick up scent and a dig is undertaken only leading to disappointment.
Information uncovered about the five sex offenders who were at the State Pool the day that Andy disappeared sends a chill, as it becomes clear that more than one could have been involved. Melanie pushes on to interview suspects gaining insight into the sex offender mentality, realizing that a pedophile network was in place.
This Film is not just about Andy but all the kids who went missing who have not been found and their cases cold and closed. Melanie illustrates how serious the child predator nightmare is as she touches on groups of predators who have networked to form a community of like minded men who actually believe they have rights to have sex with children.
Even If you are a CSI fan you will still love this movie as it is the real deal but without all the modern technology which was not available in 1976. Nancy Drew would have been proud of Perkins tenacity and resourcefulness at getting to whatever truth can be found.

I am beginning to think there is no way an average American can invest in the market and make any money for their retirement in a 401K. I was reading this morning that 5 and 10 year returns in the portfolios of most mutual funds are negative now when they calculated in the huge losses from recessions in 2001 and 2008 and the beginning of 2009. (Q1 hasn't been kind)
As an investor (for my 401K) I look at that and say: yuck! Why would I put my money in something that has no long term value?
My fiance sent me this article saying that now 20 and 30 years are the benchmarks for best overall performance in mutual funds and stocks in the market. Yikes! 20-30 years? Who has that much time before retirement? Who can invest for that long anyway?
When you consider that most people's salary starts dropping when they reach their 50's (because employers don't value old employees and can't spend time/money updating their skills) you really have 25 years max to work with as far as investments for retirement.
You start your first real paying job with a 401K at age 25 and you may not be fully employable by age 50 although you will likely live to the age of 80 or 90. There's your 25 years to save and invest for 30-50 years of retirement.
I also think there is something else going on here affecting the 20-30 year market profit numbers. The US Markets benefited from a long term technology/innovation and growth curve from WWII to the 1980s. Personally, I think that was a one time deal and we will never see that kind of long term prosperity again.
Why? 1. Because we don't understand enough about technology to innovate on that level again to create that much growth. 2. Because the US has higher paid workers than anywhere else in the world and everything gets manufactured and produced (and serviced) somewhere else. 3. Because we're too complacent and have too much entitlement as a country of workers. Work creates wealth, not shell games with securities.
That brings up another point: We've been playing a shell game with our economy since the 1980's. De-regulate, re-regulate, stimulus, fix, fund, trade, outsource, sell, leverage, whatever… It's all a shell game to us worker bees and the internet has been the only significant improvement in technology to create new industries and jobs in the last 20 years. We need more than that to survive and prosper as a nation and a world.
I don't know about you but I can't stand to take that much risk with my money. I have some in a 401K but mostly my retirement is locked in a 5 year CD IRA at 5.25% that was a promotion this fall when banks wanted more cash reserves. I changed companies in 2006 and rolled over the old 401K to a bank in 2007 because I knew the 10 year recession was coming soon and I didn't want to risk timing it.
There will always be people who game the market and come out ahead, but those of us without finance degrees, huge money to invest in undervalued markets or inside scoops will never really profit on the whole. Many of us will get out exactly what we put in and maybe less considering our lack of investment prowess. So, in that level of risky why not just put it in the bank? Positive 3-5% sounds a lot better than negative 40%.
I hate the inflation argument that says that 3-5% isn't enough to make money after inflation. Guess what? Inflation has been very low and inflation doesn't stop when you have negative returns either. I'd rather have some money dependably than none at all when prices are higher.
You may be asking why I want more innovation and less investment in the market? Doesn't investment in the market lead to more innovation?
NO. Most of the mutual finds and stocks you can buy that are highly rated are in huge old (one trick pony) risk averse companies that have already peaked and can't figure out how to do anything new. They sell shares to raise cash and then have old people make decisions like the old days. Venture Capital, new small businesses and Universities are the place where innovation happens. If I could invest in those, I would. But then again I don't have millions of dollars and apparently I won't any time soon.
What are the best proven ways to fund your retirement and create wealth then?
1. Have a side job for extra income you can save (part-time weekends or evenings a few nights a week)
2. Own rental property for extra income (you need to live near it for this to work)
3. Have fewer kids if you're contemplating having a family (ok we don't always control this, and we love kids, but nobody is going to debate that they are expensive)
4. Own a smaller home (smaller mortgage = smaller amount in interest paid (lost) to the bank)
5. Don't go into debt on credit cards or car loans (hello! 25% interest, MONTHLY! on some cards)
6. Live frugally generally, keep your cars 10 years, don't buy new clothes every month and don't buy big ticket items like TVs and Computers every few years. Spread out the expenses over the long term.
7. Share what you have with others. Seriously, knowledge, help with projects, donating time and donating items you no longer need, as well as hand me downs between families help kids and neighbors live better within their means and help the community live better too.
8. Take care of your health. Eat less junk, lower fat, lower salt, lower carbs. Exercise daily. Take vitamins. Don't work in an industry that has a side effect of cancer. Visit the doctor regularly and if something comes up treat it early, it will cost so much less in the long run. Heath issues start in your 30's and get more frequent in the 40's, 50's and 60's. Expect to pay more every decade for health costs in your life/budget.
These are all real tactical changes we can make to save more money monthy and yearly that will get better returns than the stock market and help prepare for inflation. What else do you think can help?

"No," he says, "I will not be part of this." The faces around him smirk. Mutters. Then one by one they turn around and walk away. Finally he is alone with the girl. She is curled up in a corner of the shack, clothes torn, skin bruised, face streaked with tears. He walks over to her, crouches beside her, takes off his coat and tries to wrap it around her. She shrinks back, panic in her eyes. He tries to smile, but his face is frozen in anger. He backs away a step, drops the coat where she can reach it. She grabs it and wriggles into it, eyes not leaving his face even to blink.
"Why?" her voice is slurred and hoarse. "you could have taken as much as the others, why did you not?"
Why had he not, he wonders. After all, she is just a girl from the projects, no-one of consequence. Happens all the time, doesn't it? So why had he not? Images flashes by. The whole ugly scene replays. He shakes his head to rid it of what he has seen. That is it. Because it is ugly. Because it is not right.
"Because it is not who I am." He finally says.

Furniture is something that every home in the world. Homes have to have furniture for both comfort and it gives a place a personality. Since furniture is necessary, why not do so in an intelligent way?
Tile topped kitchen tables are great options if you eat dinner together at the dinner table. These tables are simple cleanup. You can also find such tables with chairs or bench seating alike.
Don't neglect trying some haggling with someone selling furniture. Most furniture stores have a huge markup on their furniture up by approximately twenty percent. If you don't like to barter, bring along someone who can accompany you.
Always test a piece of reclining furniture before you purchase it. Some furniture stores might make it hard to do an exchange.
Furniture that is basic in color should be your priority choice. Neutral pieces are easier to change and art. You will have more choices when you use neutral furniture and they tend to match decor better. There are a wealth of neutral options out there that will work perfectly with your existing furnishings.
Think carefully about the people who use your new furniture most frequently. If you happen to live solo, your furniture will be lightly used, but if you're a parent, purchase sturdy pieces. Many pets have shedding issues, and certain fabrics accumulate more hair than others.
Check the condition of used furniture offered to you for free. You don't need to get stuck with a sofa that is in the middle just because your friend no longer wants it. You may not want to put out money for a new piece, but it is no bargain if you hate to use it because it is uncomfortable.
Examine the details of furniture to be sure they are sturdy. Are buttons sewn on securely? Is the trim lined up perfectly? If you find this is not so, then you should look at other furniture.
Take measurements of your room prior to bringing any furniture home. When it's delivered, you may not be able to return it if it can't fit in the space. Measure the hassle.

That LA Triangle UFO --- Some Screen Captures
I have to admit that my mind is still reeling from my sighting a few weeks ago.
How do I say this? All of this was sort of happen-stance.
Because of some crazy experiences of my own, and because I've always been fascinated with space and flying as a kid, I have to admit a certain fascination with UFOs.
When one does enough research on the matter from several different angles however, one soon finds out
that this phenomenon is much more complex than just, "do aliens exist?"
In fact, much of the information going deeper in is quite disturbing. I can truly understand why most of the populace is not ready for this yet. Not completely anyway.
So I decided long ago to incorporate this information in some kind of palatable way in my artwork. My music and animation will continue to incorporate such themes.
They all focus on answering those questions: who are we, where are we from, and why are we here?
So now, I can say, I got what I wanted. I caught a UFO on camera.
I'm like a kid with a new toy.
Feels weird though to see the responses range from excitement to asking, "so, why did you take the time to film an electronic kite"?
So here's a few screen captures which show different aspects of the object not able to be seen in the videos.
I did one of those little auto slide-shows with the vocal version of one of my songs that I might use in the show, and posted it on my animation site.
Hope you like it.
In the meantime, I still continue to get feedback here and there as to what this might be, and on my next post I'll share that with you.

A Split Second Thought, and Then Just When I Least Expected It…My Very Recent Encounters with Jaws and the UFO
One of the reasons I started writing a bit more publically is because I thought it would be productive to share some of the more strange coincidences/synchronicities I've experienced in a humourous light.
The irony is that there seems to have been SO MUCH experience in the last few months, I'm having a bit of trouble keeping up with the writing.
It's been way too long since I've posted…and it's seemed like a whirlwind since then.
Basically, I've been dealing with lots and lots of NOISE. A condo has been under construction across from my apartment for the last two years, so if I'm at home, I hear that during the day. THEN, they installed a new boiler in the basement, so for the last two winters, at night, my apartment physically vibrated and sounded like I was in a dryer. It would vibrate and drone for 8 minutes, then shut off for about a minute and a half, then it would start again...for you guessed it, another 8 minutes. This went on the entire night, and I had to wear earplugs to sleep.
Earplugs at night, earplugs during the day it was.
So now I'm in a new place and, well…that's another story. TMI.
All I know is that life seems to have gotten a bit more surreal since November of last year. It's like they replaced the furnace with some mechanism that creates a torsion field of random manifestation.
Like that evening I had to go to the Universal Costume department for a fitting. I had to be there at 630pm, and chose to take the Red Line over because it was a convenient way to go round trip. Little did I know I would have a twenty minute walk through the front and back lots of Universal to get there.
Which is fine. I'm no stranger to walking. Even in LA.
But it was DARK. I'm intimidated by large, monolithic structures anyway, but when they are very dimly lit like New York street was that night, it makes the trip extra spooky. I kept my mind on the directions though, grateful that I didn't have to walk through that fishermans cove where the Jaws exhibit was. It's one thing to see it during the day, but I wasn't up to seeing those boats on the lake in the dark. My imagination was way too active.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I got to the large lake that was used for Gilligans Island, and such. But it was really dark. I stopped for just a moment to catch my breath. I had been walking pretty fast, and not only did I need to rest just a moment, but I needed to let my eyes adjust to the darkness that lay ahead on James Stewart Blvd.
I turned to my right, and…well, how can I put this?
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you HEARD yourself say something? Like something not so voluntary?
Well, I heard myself say….."AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"
As I turned to my right, I found myself looking down the mouth of one of the 15ft sharks from the Jaws exhibit!!!! It was on a 20ft trailer, out of the water for maintenance…and apparently to say a special hello to Jimi. (Credit and thanks to Mark of Worthingtonm, OH at amityisland.net for the photo)
I felt my face turn all kinds of shades of red as I saw the maintenance man in the truck next to it picking his nails and smoking. All this time I'm subtly thinking about this bloody shark, and wala! Visit in the dark!
…but then there came a daytime visit.
So I have to admit, the shark story makes me laugh…and I had to share it with someone. But I marvel at the parallels of the last few weeks in terms of having some seemingly impossible event in the back of your mind, and then suddenly finding yourself confronting it.
I could get into my recent adventure with having my identity stolen, but I feel it's a whole lot more fun to talk about the UFO.
Ummmm….yeah. I know that is a very strange sentence to read. You can imagine how my friends feel trying to follow me during discussions. My place a vibrating dryer, I ran into a land shark, and I filmed a UFO.
There's a point where the craziness of life reaches a such crescendo that a UFO sighting has a grounding and sanity making effect by comparison.
Let me start by saying first off, I don't know what this is..
Let me explain myself again regarding this subject matter. Yes, I have a fascination with the skies being an Air Force brat all. So that means I'm looking at the skies often, whether its observing planes, satellites or Goodyear Blimps (wink).
And I've seen a few UFO's in my day. Usually they've been very few and far between over the many, many years since childhood, but in the last five or so years I've had increasing random sightings.
It wasn't until the very long sighting I experienced with a friend back in 2010 that I decided to get a decent video camera with a good zoom lens. That sighting was the longest I had ever experienced…it went on between 8 and 10 minutes, and I felt it would be fun to actually catch one on tape one day.
I correlate this story to my meeting with Jaws in the dark at Universal, because like that night, I was walking up the sidewalk with a friend towards my place, and busy. We were in a hurry to get back to go over some written material, and I was definitely all business…. I had maybe thought about ET because I saw the sign for the offices of Amblin Entertainment during my walk, but interacting with lights in the sky was the last thing on my mind that afternoon. I had living situations to settle.
That was until I looked up and noticed that the silver dot that would normally be a small plane on its way to Santa Monica Airport was not moving as quickly as it should.
In fact, it wasn't moving at all. It was just hovering there. We were a bit more than a stone's throw from the famous Capitol Records building in Hollywood, so anyone could have looked up and saw the bright glint in the sky. It was a sunny Saturday, people were on the move, and I was the only one that seem to stop and notice.
I said the same thing to my friend then, that I said to my friend during the sighting in 2010…"please tell me that's a balloon, right?"
Although this time the response was definitely different…
"I haveta pee", he said.
I looked up again and it didn't seem to be moving off anywhere, so I ran down the long hallway, unlocked the door, and grabbed the video camera, and ran back outside, fully expecting it to be gone.
This is what I saw.
I'm beginning to get a bit far-sighted, so I had no idea what I was capturing at the time. It just looked like a brilliant dot in the viewfinder, and I did the best I could to support myself to keep the frame as still as possible. I did this all the while making fun of this woman I saw in a UFO documentary once… I thought it was hilarious the way she pronounced hover….she pronounced it HOE-ver. So of course, being the smart ass mimic that I can be, I had to repeat this as I'm videotaping what I was more than halfway convinced was a mylar balloon.
Well, now that I see that I caught this orb changing colour and morphing into a vivid three point triangle…well, I feel like an ass.
Sorry for making fun of you "hoe-ver" lady.
I never thought it would happen to me. Now, I have a UFO on camera?
And of course I have a zillion questions. Is this an optical illusion? Is it one of the experimental craft our government is working on? Is it a natural phenomenon of some kind of magnetics with the sun? It appears David Sereda filmed a similar object. Is this the same kind of craft as the black triangles witnessed closer to civilian populations, or something entirely different? Some will ask if it has anything to do with HAARP. I really don't know…but as I find answers, I'm dedicated to sharing. I'll be asking everyone in the community who can give me an answer.
In the meantime, if you wish to politely share what you know about these sightings, and I'm asking people to stay polite, I'm interested to hear what you might think this is.
More disclosure stuff to come.

WASHINGTON (CNN) - Listen closely and you'll hear squeals of disgust from a watchdog group tracking congressional pork in the nation's capital.
Citizens Against Government Waste is out with its annual "Pig Book" - a list of lawmakers whom the group considers the most egregious porkers, members of the House and Senate who use the earmarking process to funnel money to projects on their home turf.
Fittingly perhaps, the list includes nearly $1.8 million for swine odor and manure management research in Iowa.
"In fiscal year 2009, Congress stuffed 10,160 projects into the 12 appropriations bills worth $19.6 billion," the group said in a report released Tuesday. The amount marks a 14 percent increase over 2008.
The "Pig Book" also names dozens of what it considers the most blatant examples of pork-barrel spending.
When will anyone finally understand that both parties have screwed over their own constituents? Its not just the Democrats fault but also the Republicans. get over yourself with the notion that your party is infallible. For everyone who is religious, need I remind you that the good book says that only God is infallible. Both sides have ripped away at the fabric of what we once were. I do believe we can get back and even move father ahead if we stop blaming everyone else and start being responsibile for our own actions. Stop complaining and do something on the local level.
I read all these comments, pro and con, and I have to ask myself one question. what would John McCain and Sarah Palin have done with this huge problem? I'll just bet they would have hidden out at Camp David and you wouldn't have heard from either or them. If George bush (remember him?) was the ultimate absentee landlord then McCain and Palin would have trumped his lack of action straight down the road and now the USA would be in total chaos. If you have the brains to consider this, then ask the yourself the question. what would the Republicans have done? The answer is NOTHING!
Go Obama
I wonder what would happen to me if I lived the government life?
Is this anything like Bobby Jindal's chastising of "Pork" money for "Volcano Watching"?
Oh, that's right, a volcano in Alaska that just BLEW UP.
That's the one that grounded or diverted airline flights over Alaska headed to the far east. Good thing no airplanes were lost and that the local population was able to be evacuated.
Otherwise, somebody would have egg and genocide on their faces.

Discovery Channel viewers who tuned into the series "Naked and Afraid" in the summer of 2013 were introduced to contestant EJ Snyder, a retired US Army Airborne Ranger and full time survivalist expert. Snyder and fellow participant Kellie Nightlinger battled the wilds of Tanzania buck naked for 21 days. Listen in on Episode #196 of The Holistic Survival Show as host Jason Hartman interviews Mr. Snyder on his life of adventure and how best to implement an urban survival plan during an TEOTWAWKI event.
[iframe style="border:none;margin-bottom:20px;" src="http://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/2605372/height/100/width/480/thumbnail/yes/theme/standard" height="50″ width="480″ scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen]
In addition to a quarter century spent defending the United States under the banner of the U.S. Army, including combat tours in the first Iraq gulf war, Snyder has appeared in movies as a stunt man and military advisor, including an appearance as a mercenary in the popular television series "Lost." He went on to star in another episode of "Naked and Afraid" and, more recently in the TNT series "72 Hours – the Fiji Jungle." Are you starting to notice a pattern here? The man is ALL about survival.
During this interview, Jason and EJ get down to basics about how to survive in an urban setting when the you-know-what hits the fan. Some of the highlights of the epic discussion include:
– How to create an urban survival stockpile – even if you live in a tiny apartment
– Find the best water purification system, knife, and fire starter
– Exactly how to reinforce your front door against invaders
– Why you DON'T want to live in New York City or Washington DC
– The techniques for evading pursuit by humans or dogs
– How to decide if you should hunker down or bug out
– Much more…

Start of Interview with EJ Snyder
Jason Hartman: It's my pleasure to welcome EJ "Skullcrusher" Snyder to the show. And you've probably heard his name. He stormed his way into reality TV in the summer of 2013 on the Discovery Channel's hit summer TV series Naked and Afraid, starring in the episodes "The Terror in Tanzania" and "Bares All". EJ also appeared on TNT's brand new TV series 72 Hours. And he's just got a long, long resume. So I'm going to let him tell you about the rest of it, including his background in the US army as a 25 year veteran. EJ, welcome. How are you doing?
EJ Snyder: Hey! I'm doing great. I appreciate you having me on the show. I hope everybody's doing well. I'm excited about being here, and I always like to talk about life survival and all other things in between. So how's it going?
Jason Hartman: Yeah, it's awesome. And you've got a wealth of experience EJ, so we're really looking forward to learning some good stuff from you today. First of all, your resume is so long there's no way I could possibly cover it. Maybe just give us a little bit more on your resume. 25 years in the army, anymore background points you want to cover?
EJ Snyder: Very well. I spent 25 years in the United States army, I have an airborne ranger infantry background. I spent most of my time in the fox hole. In the 25 years in the army, I spent 23 years as a leader, 2 of those in combat, 1991 Gulf War vet and Operation Iraqi Freedom vet. So I've got a wealth of military leadership and combat experience, as well as that's where I learned my first introduction to survival. In 1996 I went to the army's, what they call SERE school and that's for Survival, Evasion, Resist and Escape. And I went to a man tracking course to learn to track people on the ground as well as animals. And from there I became a three year primary instructor down in Florida's swamps where it's alligator and snake infested teaching survival and tracking, and I fell in love with it.
After that I became a self-taught survival guide, studied everything I could on survival and became more of a self-reliance guy getting ready for bad times coming. How to protect the kids from the zombies, right? So survival on the outdoors, I love it – it became my passion. So whenever I wasn't working or doing these things I was up I the hills, hiking the mountains, practicing survival. Out on the weekends, in the water, I spent 7 years in Hawaii, I learned more survival in the South Pacific which is one of my favorite areas to do survival because it's such a great resource area, and it continued on. I retired about 4 ½ years ago, and I got hired as an independent contractor for the government to help continue to teach survival. And that's what I've been doing ever since I got out to keep the lights on.
And in the meantime, entertainment world called me – I did a little bit of acting and stunts on the side as a hobby and started doing some military technical advising to a lot of film, a lot of TV shows and all sorts of survival experts – things like Patton 360 on the History Channel, Can You Survive a Horror Movie? For the Chiller Network, and believe it or not I was actually a mercenary on the TV show Lost. So once I got to North Carolina after I retired and left Hawaii, I found that I'm more of a character and that I could play one, and the reality world kind of grabbed me by storm. And I love that better because I get to go out and do real stuff, real adrenalin rushing adventure stuff. And that's what I'm about and that's what drives me.
Jason Hartman: Let's dive in and let's talk about some stuff. Before we started recording we talked about urban survival, which I think is not covered enough in the survival community. And one other area I just want to ask you about because you did man tracking and animal tracking, I'd like you to share with us maybe a couple of tips today on evasion tactics, if someone is trying to track you. And this is not covered too much either in the community as well, but first let's talk about the urban side of survival. What are your thoughts?
EJ Snyder: Okay, on urban survival, it's a good subject. Because as a kid that grew up in North Jersey outside of New York City, I understand how city people think and what happens. And when you're in a high rise building, let's say you're on the 30th floor, what do you do? And it's never too late to start preparing for a survival situation, and you start with the basics. You need to get yourself ready for those bad days that come, and what are the basic things you're going to need, and how much can you supply?
In an apartment I would suggest somebody finds maybe a large closet that they can dedicate towards their survival stockpile, and you can easily go to any of these army navy stores, outdoor, camping stores and you can get these great 5 gallon water jugs. And water is one of the most critical things because humans cannot live more than 3 days without water. Some of them are recorded to go as many as 5. But you can go a lot longer without food than you can without water. So a good water supply, a fresh water supply is something that you want to look at to keep on hand.
Secondly, those meals ready to eat, they store very well, they're very compact and they've got a lot of calories in them. You can almost live off of one of those meals even though you get three bags a day, or you could just use one of those meals. There's enough calories in one of those meals to get you through a full day, so stacking those things up is also a very good idea.
Then you want to think about medical supplies, some kind of a very good, advanced first aid kit and fill it up with lots of things. There's a lot of things that people don't even think about that are usable that are very good for improvisation. Women like to use maxi pads for their troubles that they get when they naturally have those times of the month, but those things are awesome for soaking up blood and making pressure dressings because they have an immense amount of ability to absorb a lot of fluids. So that's one of those little tricks that you hear about that a lot of people don't think of. When I look at items, I like to see how many uses… if I have one item, does it have three uses to it?
So the other thing is a really good basic survival kit, and you can put that in a regular backpack, and you could call it a little bug-out bag if you really had to go run out and get into the woods outside the city for whatever reason. The big things you want to be able to do is build shelter, procure water, start a fire, and get some kind of food. I would say in that bag you want to think of all those things. In a nice zip lock bag you need to put in those things that can create fire, things that people know how to use very easily: water proof matches, a lighter, if you go to a camping store there are great magnesium fire starting bars which are awesome. Because the magnesium will light even when it gets wet. So those kinds of things you want to think about, how can I start a fire?
The next thing is water purification. You can buy water purification that come in very small bottles, that are very good to have. And for about $90 you can get this little pump that will purify up to 2,000 liters of water just off of one filter. And the filters, I think you can get a resupply filter for about $30. They're very lightweight and they fit in that pack very easily. It's a neat little pump, and you can even pump out polluted water into fresh water and drink it right away. So you solve your water problems for getting purified water in an urban area.
Next, you want to think about, parachute people call it P-chord or 550-chord. If you can get a couple hundred yards of that stuff and throw it in your pack, that's very useful because you can make all kinds of things with that. You can use it for latchings for shelter to build nice lean-tos out there in the forest. It's got a thousand uses. I can go on all day about P-chord.
And then, you want to have a very good fixed blade or two. A good machete is very useful but you want to have a nice blade of about at least 7-10 inches. And when I say fixed blade, that means you have a good handle that's a non-slip handle so when it gets wet you're not going to get hurt. And it's a straight stiff blade, not a folding blade or a locking type blade, you want a good fix blade and very sharp. That is a survivalist main tool of choice, and when you're going to do a lot of chopping and you've got to get a lot of firewood, a machete is the next best thing. Those are just a few items I'm talking about for your basic necessities of surviving – food, water, shelter and fire.
Now for food, you have to think about hunting and trapping…
Jason Hartman: Now remember though, we're focusing on the urban side of survival.
EJ Snyder: I'm sorry.
Jason Hartman: So you have already made the leap to that we bugged out, which is a question, and I already know your philosophy, but just for the listeners: stay or go?
EJ Snyder: Now, what I would say for the first portion it's going to be a lot of panic in the first few days of a catastrophe of some sort. And you could easily think about your home as your defense. If you're in your apartment, what do I need to do to reinforce my front door? Because that's the main entry point for any intruder trying to get in. So then you need to think about dead bolting your door, you need to think about putting maybe one or two 2 by 4s on the door where you can actually put those holding slats, if you know what I mean, face up so you just slide the board in there. Because that will reinforce the door very well so that somebody cannot just kick that thing in.
And you want to have your front door, like you said, that's your main point of defense is that front point. Good home defense is firearms are very critical. And the defense of defending one's self, their property, their goods and supplies that they have and more importantly, their loved ones. And I'm not saying that people should shoot each other down but when times get very ugly, desperate people do desperate things and you want to protect your family. So get a license, go to a class, a good safety firearms class so you understand what you're using, and actually go to a range and have good lessons on how to use that thing properly so you're safe.
Jason Hartman: One more tip I'd like to share: don't live in a place that restricts your constitutional rights, like the socialist republic of New York City or Washington DC, because that's the first problem you have. In those places only the criminals have guns, none of the good people do.
EJ Snyder: Exactly, and that's when all of the good people become victims. And I am a second amendment right, NRA guy and I'll tell you what: Don't try to come to my house and think you're going to get those things from me, because I am a veteran of this country, I believe in this country, I'm a patriot die hard all the way and I will defend it until last Q but do not try to take my rights away from me. So I will never live in a state that does not let me have my firearms.
Jason Hartman: Can't say I blame you.
EJ Snyder: So in your house, like we were saying, you want to set up a good defense. Have a good plan, make sure you know where everybody is in the house and what you should do is there should be one room in your house that if the intruders happen to get through, that you have your last stand room and that should be the room where you have all those supplies in, and you've got your last stand to fight. And inside that room I would make sure that you have a very good plan of action, some very thick tables, some things that you can throw down on the ground, you can easily have a few sandbags stacked up inside that same closet and that could make a very good last defense position if you have to fight from there.
Jason Hartman: Good. Good points. Okay, so you mentioned the man tracking that you did, and this is something that just isn't talked about. Share some evasion tactics if you would. What if someone is chasing you, what if the bad guy is looking for you?
EJ Snyder: I want everyone to remember: you have a good defense plan, but with every good defense eventually there's going to be a time where you're going to run out of your supplies and you're going to have to go to where there's resources. That's where that bug-out bag comes in. Make sure you have extra clothes in there, always extra socks, a good sleeping bag goes a long way and you can get some very lightweight ones, pack them in one or two packs very easily and make yourself very light to move. Because if you're not used to moving long distances on foot, we call it ounces equal pounds, pounds equal misery. So always have a good backup plan.
And know your route out of the city. You better have a good map with a good plan that you've already reconed to get yourself out of the city into a good location where you start moving.
This is where the evasion part starts. People are starting to chase you. Well the first thing you're going to want to do is get camouflaged. Roll around in the mud, get dirt on your face, make anything that's shiny not shiny, if you have to paint it, put tape on it, whatever you have to do to make yourself more invisible to blend in with your natural surroundings. And in an urban environment you have what? A lot of greys, a lot of black, a lot of whites, and so just cover yourself with some of the things that are actually around. And in a good environment I the urban you can go up to any car tire and wipe off the black dust off a rim or behind the tires, and put it all over your face. You want to make yourself nice and dark so you can blend in the shadows. And move from A to point B always using the shadows. And when you're moving with other people you always want to make sure you have security and you're watching out for each other because you want to get out of there.
Once you get good camouflage, and let's say you get out of the city, a good tracker is going to look for the signs that you leave, and it's not just foot prints. If you're running through the brush you need to be very careful about breaking branches. When you move through brush instead of walking straight through with your shoulders square, you want to turn to the side and make your silhouette thinner so it kind of cuts through the brush, and you want to kind of flow through brush versus rushing right through it because the more branches you break the better it is for me to find you. You also want to be careful not to cut yourself. Because once you cut yourself open, then what are you doing? You're leaving a blood trail, you're leaving more signs for me to find you.
So as you start to move through the thicket or wherever you're moving to evade people that are chasing you, you want to have a very deliberate plan. You definitely want to be going somewhere, but you want to look at where you're headed, and what's going to make it more difficult for that individual chasing you. Obviously the thick stuff is going to make it a lot harder for you to move faster, and in the beginning speed is of the essence – you want to put a lot of distance between you and those people that are chasing you. So try to find some fast routes first and then eventually start looking at the more tricky routes.
Rivers are very good because if you can move down into the rivers, depending on the time of year because you want to make sure in the winter if you start getting in the water you're going to have other issues you'll have to start dealing with, trench foot, hypothermia. But getting down into a water area, a tracker can still see the signs but it makes it a lot harder for them because now they have to look through the water and it will slow them down to look for you.
So, a good way to go in is you go in to the river at one point, you may want to even go in very hard to make it very deliberate like you went in there, go across the bank to the other side of the small creek or whatever, and make it look, put a bunch of claw marks and make it look very obvious like you fought and you went up the other side there, and instead of going up it, just get back down in the water and head downstream, make a right and head downstream. That way any dirt or things you disturb, the water will take it with you so that the tracker… if you're going upstream any disturbances you make in the dirt, he's going to see the dirt trail. So you always want to go downstream – just like with smells – if you're downwind of someone, they can't find you as easy.
Jason Hartman: Yeah, very good point. I'm kind of curious, and this is almost more about the law or the government – well, I don't want to say it's the law, because a lot of times that's not just. And we have repealed many unjust laws and there are still a few to go for sure. But what about dogs? Can you evade dogs or is that pretty much impossible?
EJ Snyder: Dogs can be evaded and there are several ways to do it. One of my favorite tricks with them is to always have a lot of goodies in my pockets because that will slow them down because they will normally want to eat it. And good old ground beef with some peanut butter in it makes for some very nasty dogs spending a lot of time chewing. But one of the rules with dogs is most times dogs are going to be on leashes. And to defeat the dogs, a lot of times I say to just ambush and defeat the handler. You may want to double back on the dog and make a button hook and get to a point where when the handler comes up, you take out the handler, you hit him. Because most tracker dogs are trained to stay with their handler even when they get hurt. If you knock one out cold, you will defeat that tracking dog. Now let's say you don't have that opportunity…
Jason Hartman: Now, what's a buttonhole, by the way? Can you explain a buttonhole?
EJ Snyder: I'm sorry. Okay. A buttonhole could be, let's say we're moving in a straight line north and we were going to go 100 meters up, and when I find there's someone's on me, I'm going to take another 50 meters straight North and then I'm either going to take a left or a right depending on the terrain and during my movement I'm already going to know where I'm heading back to. Because as you're moving straight you're going to look for a very good ambush point to possibly ambush the dog handler.
So as you're moving on that first 100 meters you're going to identify that spot. After about 50 more meters past your 100 meters mark, you're going to either take a right or a left and hook back to that spot. And get there and wait for that guy to move through those… as they're tracking you, remind you they're staying straight on your tracks and you're going to be either off to the right or the left of the trail when they come by. And as soon as they're within striking distance, you hit them. Now this works good for a single dog tracker because obviously if there's more than one you're probably going to have a problem.
Now if it's more than one, again distance… I like to run through… If you go through a clear cut where there's a lot of branches that are knocked down where loggers have just cut a big open area, that is very good, or a nice swamp area and you zig zag through it. A real thick brush area like a mangrove. And the reason you do that is because why? The dog's on a leash. And the more you zig zag, the more that dog is zig zagging, and now that handler is getting all tangled up in there and that will definitely slow him down.
Jason Hartman: Yeah, good. Good advice.
EJ Snyder: Now, one other thing that is a fallacy, is people say what about your scent? Now, they'll be trying to put manure on themselves, trying to put garbage on themselves to mask their scent – those things kind of help, but a dog's nose is ten times stronger than a human's nose. They can smell you even through that garbage. You just smell like a human with garbage on you.
Jason Hartman: Right, right. Very interesting. Well hey, give out your website if you would EJ, and any final words of wisdom.
EJ Snyder: Very well. You can find me at www.ejsnyder72.wix.com/skullcrusher. You can follow me on Twitter: @EJSnyder72. You can go to Facebook and friend me there, or follow me on my Fans of EJ "Skullcrusher" Snyder on my Facebook page. I've got some great things happening coming up. We had a great day yesterday – we had a marathon of Naked and Afraid closing up with a two hour all new special. If you didn't see it, we were number one through number three on Twitter-most of that block. And we were trending for a long time. And we have a new season of Naked and Afraid next year starting the end of February. And I'm not saying you might see the old Skullcrusher out there again, but you might. I don't know. You need to stay tuned and see what happens with that.
I'm also working on an anti-bullying campaign documentary. I've signed on as executive producer. Bullying is dear to my heart, as I was bullied as a kid. That's why I signed on to be a co-executive producer on this project as well as a talent. And we're going to be launching that by next summer, and we're starting to raise money in February. You can find us on Facebook at Broken Bones Shattered Dreams. That's the name of the feature length documentary we were doing.
Friend us on Facebook. Please like us and follow us on Twitter under the same name. And like I said, next year I'm looking to open up my own survival school by next summer if not sooner. I want to make survival a thing of life, a lifesaving thing as much as swimming, as a lifesaving skill that everyone should have. I want to make survival available, at least basic survival, to every person that wants to be able to do it at an affordable price.
Jason Hartman: Yeah, I think it really is becoming more mainstream and it needs to become even more mainstream, because when your neighbor's prepared they're not going to be a burden on you. So the more people prepared, the better. EJ, thanks so much for joining us today. Those were some awesome insights. And we look forward to having you back on to keep up with your career, and just keep getting the word out there and making your shows more popular.
EJ Snyder: Any time. Please do. Please go to all those sites, and also one other last thing: I'm involved with a thing called Reality Rally. And RealityRally.com, go to the website. I'm raising money for cancer. I'm going to be there in April with a whole bunch of other reality stars. I'm trying to raise the most money for cancer research. I lost a lot of family members to cancer. If you could please go to that site, every dollar helps. And please help me be the one to show all the other reality stars why [0:24:06.9] and why we're going to be number one on their charts. Because I'm the only one from Naked and Afraid series going to be out there showing up and defending our honor. So please, that's the other cause I'm involved with. Thanks a lot.
Jason Hartman: Awesome. Take care, EJ.
EJ Snyder: Take care buddy, thank you.

The industrial influence in business management and theory is profound. In essence, for the past hundred years business has been objectified as a machine, divided into various components, like a clock or an electric generator. Components are composed of subcomponents, and so on, until you get down to nuts, bolts, and flywheels. People are -- in the industrial scheme of things -- gears in the machine, and their purpose is to perform a defined role in the assemblage.
This is the unexamined premise of how many businesses are 'designed' -- to the extent that they have been consciously designed, instead of unconsciously shaped by decades of 19th and 20th century management dogma. First, the rise of assembly lines, vertical integration, and the rise of business processes. Then, the emergence of new communication technologies (telephones, email, web), that spawned the reengineering and knowledge management patterns of thinking about business, each with fatal flaws.
And now the social web is happening, and acting like a solvent on these business constructs: not just superficially, or metaphorically, but at the very core of industrial beliefs. Note: this isn't just a bunch of humanist rhetoric: the social society is exploding, and new ways of interaction that were unaffordable or impossible before are not only cheap and possible but being adopted widely because of a long list of reasons, not the least of which is simplicity and effectiveness. People are thronging on social sites like Facebook and Twitter because they are a straightforward way to stay connected with others, and this in turn shapes our worldview.
As these new realities percolate in the open web and in the new web-influenced culture, people carry these experiences into the world of business. Indirectly, based on their experience in the open web, which leads them to consider how the social tools could work in the business context. And more directly, some pioneers are dragging social tools into the business context, and seeing where it all goes.
And some, a few, are trying to think through a new model for business, reconstructed around what we have learned in the open web, balanced with what we know about the conduct of business. A new hybrid, intentionally devised to keep the best of the old (or at least the parts that will still work) and fuse that with the new, social models that dominate the web revolution.
From a social viewpoint, the architecture of business seems all wrong. People aren't really designed to do one thing, like a cog in a watch. They have various relationships with other people, and through these relationships they have influence on the work going on all around them. They are not alone, like a moth in a bell jar. We are not alone, in our work. Even the most repetitive of work -- screwing bolts on an assembly line, or delivering the mail -- happens in the context of other people, and is made more valuable by their exertions.
Increasingly, people's work is being viewed as a shared aspect of social relations. Time is a shared space, where we cooperate toward shared ends.
One casualty of this large-scale shift in business doctrine may be the hallowed business process. The notion of a process -- a defined series of steps in the production of goods or the delivery of services -- subordinates individuals to the their roles in the process.
For decades, business planners have made a distinction between repetitive, lock-step processes, where very little variability is involved (think pharmacy), and more free-form, unstructured processes where a higher degree of variability is expected (think emergency room). Taking the abstraction of a process out of the world of chemistry, manufacturing, and logistics, and treating the people involved as so many chemicals, gears, or trucks seemed like a good idea in the past, but is not going to be workable, going forward.
We will have to devise a new, richer way to think about people's interactions -- via social networks -- and our connection to mechanical processes and devices. In effect, we will need to model work with two layers, one where people are communicating with each other in a very fluid and flexible way, and machinery communicates with us and other machinery in less fluid ways. Some of these communication paths will be very limited, like a copier blinking to represent it is out of paper. But increasingly, even machinery is becoming much more communication-rich, and the way that machines respond to the world is surprisingly humanlike: coke machines that signal their internal state, like temperature, and the fact that there are only two Sprites left, or cars that will automatically start to brake if they sense no hands on the steering wheel.
More importantly, the customers in the emerging social world will have new expectations about their role in business 'processes' and may be significantly less willing to be treated like pigeons pecking at levers in exchange for pellets. Consider the Jetblue customer snowstorm service disaster of a few years ago, or the not-so-subtle pressures of a discerning public leading to higher and higher levels of customer support based on the ability to gripe online, and to rally widespread support, like Jarvis' Dell Hell campaign.
We will still get some value out of thinking through business models structurally, and choreographing steps in production or the delivery of service. But the sophistication of machines and customers means that more and more of the steps will have a wider range of alternatives, which leads designers to have to focus more on putting the right information into people's hands -- both workers and customers -- than minimizing choice. For example, provisioning checklists for various well-understood medical procedures -- like putting in an IV -- supports medical practitioners in tense situations, and increasing the likelihood they will not omit a simple step when hurried. This has lead to significant decrease in infection and other side effects. However, it does not seek to replace the interaction between the doctor or nurse and the patient. Instead, the checklist makes it easier for the practitioner to use the time available to learn more about the patients status, because they are freed from having to recall from memory the appropriate six steps in establishing an IV.
But the major shift here is conceptual. Processes, like the IV checklist, will still be with us, but they will have a lowercase 'p', and be understood as being secondary to higher business priorities, like the humane treatment of the medical patient, or the rights of travelers, or the need to superachieve customer satisfaction with consumer electronics. These goals will always trump the rote step-by-step rules and roles of a inflexible business process. Connectedness should always take precedence over efficiency, especially where the efficiency comes at the cost of customers, but even in the interactions between workers, the process should be secondary to the strategic principles of the firm. And, in the final analysis, this is the final evolutionary step away from the excesses of industrial management thinking, into a social way of structuring work.

My Vow of Silence had lasted for three and a half months
No more scribbling notes that sometimes even I myself cannot read… my handwriting really sucks! But otherwise I had become quite comfortable being silent… and still am. Talking seems special now, something done with awareness and silence always being an option when there is no need for words.

I don't know man. I have to admit, video games are getting a little too real these days. The graphics are just too good. And with all the technology out there I'd imagine it's just a matter of time before you put on some weird helmet that has censors to stimulate the body as you're playing the game.
What does this mean? Well it definitely means that I'll be dying alone. But other than that? It means that the line the divides real life from fantasy is only going to grow smaller with each day. It means that human beings will be less "human."
It probably means that we'll all be sex freaks. And it also means I'm just using this as an excuse to post pictures of hot chicks because we don't do it often enough.

Cataloging is one of those behind-the-scenes skills that make a library what it is: an organized collection from which patrons can find their materials as easily as possible using effective cataloging and retrieval systems. Machine Readable Cataloging (MARC) records contain the information about every item which enables the OPAC to retrieve that item in a user's search. Effective cataloging helps patrons find their materials fast.
Library of Congress Classification
In order to catalog, items must be classified. One of the most common systems of classification systems is the Library of Congress Classification system, or LCC. LCC is mainly used in higher academic institutions such as universities, colleges, or professional libraries. Here is what Encyclopoedia Brittannica has to say about LCC:
Dewey Decimal Classification
Developed by Melvil Dewey, this simpler classification system is often used in schools and smaller libraries. Here is what Encyclopoedia Brittannica has to say about DDC:
