TALAMANTES, MELCHOR DE (1765–1809). Melchor de Talamantes Salvador y Baeza, early martyr of Mexican independence and commissioner of the King of Spain to write a critical report on the true boundary of Louisiana and Texas, was born in Lima, Peru, on January 10, 1765. He received his early education from Fray Manuel Alcocer, his teacher and companion until 1779, when he entered the Royal and Military Order of Our Lady of Mercy. He continued his studies in the University of San Marcos, Peru, and successively won appointment to the chairs of Philosophy, Theology, and Sacred Scriptures, becoming synodal examiner for the Archbishopric of Peru. In September 1798 he was granted permission by his provincial to go to Spain by way of Mexico. When he arrived in Mexico in November 1799 he apparently lost interest in his trip to Spain. His great learning, his brilliant mind, and his irresistible oratory immediately won him recognition and friends but aroused at the same time the animosity of the envious. When the royal orders of May 20, 1805, commanding the viceroy of Mexico to compile "as many documents and historical and geographical data as may be possible...to verify the dates of settlement...in...Texas and the adjacent coast" arrived late in 1806, Talamantes was appointed chief of the historical commission charged with ascertaining the true boundaries of Texas and Louisiana. He began his work in 1807 and labored diligently for a year. But when news of Napoleon's intervention in Spain and the replacement of Charles IV by Joseph as king reached Mexico, the impulsive young historian was deeply stirred and joined the liberal-minded criollos in arguing that the deposition of the legitimate king of Spain had caused sovereignty to revert to the people of the colonies. He, with the celebrated Francisco Primo de Verdad, openly advocated the calling of a national congress. At first the city council of Mexico and the viceroy himself favored the plan, but the conservatives suddenly took matters into their own hands, deposed the viceroy, and set up Pedro de Garibay as viceroy in September 1808. Talamantes and the other liberals were arrested on September 16. Tried by the Inquisition, he was at first sentenced to death, but the judges were fearful of the consequences and decided to send him under guard to Spain. In March 1809 he was taken to the Castle of Ulloa in Vera Cruz, where cholera was raging. Before he could be put on board to sail for Spain he became ill and died early in May 1809, a martyr to the cause of Mexican independence. His unfinished work on the limits of Louisiana and Texas was turned over to José Antonio Pichardo, together with the books and documents he had collected. He left several political disquisitions in manuscript.

Babysit for Neighbors or Family Friends
What tween doesn't like to have her own cash to spend on things Mom or Dad don't pick up? Tweens are too young to get a real job legally, but they're old enough to babysit.
Watching the children of neighbors or family friends for an hourly rate is a great way to put a little fun money in a tween's pocket. Tweens learn responsibility and how to care for young children.
If your tween is too young to babysit or doesn't have an interest in this activity, there are lots of ways he or she can earn money. You can pay an allowance for household chores, or your tween can adopt a paper route or even do some yard work or water plants for neighbors.

The Problem
At the beginning of the year, Judy and her colleague, Lex, thought it was unacceptable that some parents had limited involvement in their child's learning. They believe in a school where everyone's contribution to the learning process of an individual is valued. However, Lex and Judy's reality at the start of the Changemaker Journey was that parents felt their ability to contribute to their child's learning was inadequate.
Lex & Judy's Solution
Judy and Lex organised and led a community event called 'Read to Me', where reading stations were set up in the CBD involving the community, businesses and school ambassadors as readers and performers to promote active reading to young children.
Judy and Lex began by canvassing support for shared vision and then built a community committee with the Bundaberg Regional Libraries, Childers Neighbourhood Centre, Childers Family Daycare, Childers Chamber of Commerce, Isis District High School, First Five Forever and Queensland Police. The team met fortnightly for 5 months, leased with schools and early childhood providers, and promoted the event through media, social media and school visits.
On the day, students from surrounding primary schools and early childcare centres took part in the circus-themed reading activities. Reading stations with volunteers from local businesses and secondary school ambassadors were set up at participating businesses.
"Adults and children alike were encouraged to come dressed in theme, the day kicked off in
Millennium Park with over 300 students filling the park with excited energy."
For the next two hours, groups of about 15 youngsters with accompanying adults and high school students made their way around the reading stations whilst being entertained by street performers and participating in craft activities.
Lex & Judy's Impact
Studies show that children who are frequently read to (4-5 times a week) are seven times more likely to complete their education than children who are not read to. Through 'Read to Me' Judy and Lex have raised community awareness about the importance of regular reading.
300 early childcare, primary and secondary students have been directly and positively impacted by the work of Judy and Lex, not to mention the impact on families and community members who were at the 'Read to Me' event.
Judy tells us that the Queensland Police have published reports of the day in state and national newsletters, and they are committed to setting up their own reading station, staffing it with several members of the police force. That. Is. Scale.
Like the idea?
Judy and Lex would love your support for Read to Me, or for you to start a similar program in your school, and they'd love to hear about any ideas you have or lend a hand where they can. Shoot an email to email@example.com if you want to get in touch with Judy and Lex and we can connect you. Feel free to cheer them on in the comments below as well.

- #651 Ranking
- 8484 Students
- Public Institution Type
William & Mary is the second-oldest institution of higher learning in America. On February 8, 1693, King William III and Queen Mary II of England signed the charter for a "perpetual College of Divinity, Philosophy, Languages, and other good Arts and Sciences" to be founded in the Virginia Colony. And William & Mary was born.
William & Mary is an academic powerhouse. Our undergraduate and graduate students know they'll work hard, and that their uncommon efforts will be personally, academically and professionally rewarding.
Our research culture places an emphasis on quality, selectivity and innovation. Our size fosters both collaboration and efficiency. We're big enough to contribute effectively to many of the solutions of problems at national and global levels, yet small enough to keep overhead costs from ballooning.
The Graduate Career Management Center is a comprehensive suite of classes, workshops, online resources and one-on-one advising that integrates career planning and preparation into the Mason MBA, MSBA, and MAcc experience.
The Office of Community Engagement connects the College and community to support students' development as active and educated citizens and to promote positive, community-driven social change. Our vision is that students will prioritize working within and understanding community in a lifelong pursuit of social justice.
As a major tourist destination, Williamsburg offers a wide range of lodging accommodations for visitors to William & Mary. Your stay can be more than an overnighter — make it an experience. Many local hotels support the William & Mary community with special rates and discounts. For more information and current rates, contact the hotel directly.
William & Mary's extensive library system is the collective brain of the university. Within its million–plus books and hundreds of thousands of periodicals, journals and electronic databases, you can find the sum total of human knowledge. It's like the Internet, without all of the made up stuff.
William & Mary IT is a service-based organization, first and foremost. Whether you're a student, faculty member, or an administrator, that means we'll always be ready with creative solutions for all your technology needs.
Campus life at William & Mary is as varied and engaging as the remarkable students who go here. We're athletes, artists, activists, hikers, singers, researchers and adventurers, and W&M knows how to make us happy.
Athletics are a source of pride at William & Mary. We're winning conference titles, and graduating scholar athletes at a rate higher than any other public university in the country. Across the university, an impressive 85 percent of undergraduates participate in some athletic or recreation program. Besides our 23 Division I varsity sports teams, W&M has a thriving sport club and intramural scene, a multi-million dollar student recreation center and a ton of opportunities for outdoor adventure.
The astounding number of student clubs and organizations at W&M is a reflection of the broad diversity of thought, experience and background of our students, and an opportunity to explore leadership and community engagement in a supportive environment. There are over two hundred special interest clubs inspired by political engagement, religious faith, ethnic and cultural pride, environmental protection and endless geekery from quiz bowl to ping pong to heavy metal.
William & Mary is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award bachelor's, master's, post-master's certificate, doctoral and first professional degrees.

Already renewed for a fourth season, the USA drama series Suits has seen Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) and Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres) working to address the firm's future, while Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman) unraveled over love, and Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) had to make a career and life-altering decision. All that considered, it will certainly be interesting to see where things go next.
During this exclusive interview with Collider, actor Rick Hoffman talked about how happy he is with the show's dynamics, how challenging and scary it can be to play the vulnerability of the character, why fans love Louis Litt, why this show is a lightning in a bottle experience, why revealing Mike Ross' secret is a lose-lose situation, having his own parents play Louis' parents, and how their show creator loves to give them little fun tidbits of what's coming up next. Check out our Rick Hoffman interview after the jump, and be aware that there are some spoilers.
Collider: Are you happy with where Louis Litt is now, or are you excited to see who he still has yet to become?
RICK HOFFMAN: I'm absolutely happy with where he is. The writers, starting with Aaron [Korsh], have just made him into a human being. They keep coming up with some interesting and new dynamics, here and there. For me, I have having the time of my life playing this character. At times, it's unbelievably challenging and scary, when it comes to certain vulnerable areas that I don't necessarily want to go. Who wants to open that up in front of a camera? But, it's all rewarding. It's just so much fun.
Are you surprised that people have had the reaction to him that they have?
HOFFMAN: The hug requests are surprising. But as time has gone on, I can understand it more. You start to see bits of goodness, where all that crap came from that he was displaying in the first season. As long as there are things that are identifiable, it stirs something up in people. They either know somebody like that, who they work with or have in their lives, who steps on their own feet and just can't get it right, but it's not because they're mean-spirited. They just don't know any better. It's sad.
This show gets smarter and edgier and darker with every season. Has that surprised you? Did you know it would evolve, in that way?
HOFFMAN: No, of course not. How could you know something like that? Especially in this business, being a part of series where you're excited and you're told so many different things like, "Get ready, it's going for five," and then it gets canceled. You never know. And this is one of those things, thank god, that is a lightning in a bottle experience. The writers seem to mesh well together. The actors mesh well together. I've always said that it's like being the winner of three separate lottery tickets – getting a pilot, getting the pilot picked up, and having a show that actually lasts. There are no guarantees, and no one knows where a show is going to go. That also has to do with Aaron being unconventional. There's a small percentage of it that he leaves to his actors because he trusts them. If there are some mistakes or improv, he keeps it and that makes it more fun and alive. That's part of it, too.
Do you enjoy the moments where you get to go head-to-head with Patrick J. Adams?
HOFFMAN: Yes, they're always enjoyable. They're always challenging, thought, because you just want to get it right, if there is a right. When you get great stuff to do, you just don't want to let anybody down. Those moments are intense. It's work. When you're in it, and especially when you're sharing the moment, you have this peak happiness where you're just in this great area of, "Wow, I'm really getting to do what I love right now." It's a privilege.
What do you think Louis would do, if he knew how close he was to really having Mike Ross?
HOFFMAN: It's a lose-lose situation. How could there be anything hopeful about that. The bottom line is that he's loyal to a T. When his loyalty is being crumpled up, it's the only thing he sees. Nothing good can come from finding out this lie. This is not a comparison to Breaking Bad. Breaking Bad is one of my favorite shows, of all time. But, you knew Hanks would have to turn in his brother-in-law. It's who he is. It's the same way with Louis. It's who he is. If there's something illegal, that's it. It's a cool formula.
What do you think of the friendship between Louis and Rachel, and how much that's grown?
HOFFMAN: She understands him. I think that had a lot to do with me and Meghan Markle's friendship, to be honest with you. I think that Aaron and the writers pay attention to the relationships that we have. There are nice moments between those characters. The way that me and Sarah [Rafferty] started having those fun moments was because, early on, there was something that happened because we wanted a moment together that wasn't actually aired. I don't know what happened, but they were short on an episode in the first season, so they added a scene between Louis and Donna, and it was off to the races. Things like that work out.
Does Louis realize how easily he allows himself to be manipulated?
HOFFMAN: No. Another redeeming thing about Louis is that he respects women, so much. He respects all of them. There's no disrespect to women. This guy's got a lot of shitty things about him, but there are a couple of nice things about him that are honest.
How does Louis' relationship with his parents affect him?
HOFFMAN: My parents played by parents, in the second season. We had a Skype scene and they were my real parents. My parents are cartoons. When they come up and visit, they're hilarious. My mother somehow finds a way to get in the way of everything. Aaron had seen it happen, so when there was a scene that called for me to talk to my parents, he was wondering if he could use my real parents. So, they got the red carpet treatment. They got flown up to Toronto, and it was awesome.
How do you see Louis and Harvey's relationship, at this point?
HOFFMAN: Their relationship has evolved in a direction, as dysfunctional as it is, that leaves people thinking about what happens next. Everyone's relationships are very different, and very specific. They have their specific differences. I guess that's why there are people that like to watch this show. It's not all the same.
Have you had conversations about where things will go in Season 4?
HOFFMAN: We have conversations with Aaron, a lot, about how things are going. Aaron is so great that way. He's totally just available, and he loves to give us little fun tidbits of what's coming up next. And every once in awhile, I'll say, "This could be cool. Tell me you hate this." Nothing has yet worked, but he allows it.
What do you think it would take for Louis to finally get the respect that he deserves?
HOFFMAN: It's becoming that way. It's not like it used to be. He gets in his own way and he's just bizarre, but there's room for that.
The Season 3 finale of Suits airs on USA Network on April 10th.

This third course in the pedagogical series takes a look back and forward to inform future language instruction. Instructors in their second semester of teaching German at Washington University will consider various theories that have been employed for the purpose of second/foreign language acquisition and how these have been incorporated into or overlooked in contemporary SLA methodology. Students will be introduced to important journals as well as professional organizations that assist language instructors at all levels and will present one journal article of their choice to the class. They will also have an opportunity to begin construction of the materials portfolio - gathering exemplary syllabi, lesson plans and evaluations, and creating their first drafts of a statement of teaching philosophy to start them on these aspects of job market preparation. The course will be comprised of active class discussion and group and individual document development.

4 And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying, 5 Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and brass, 6 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, 7 And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood, 8 And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense, 9 And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate.
10 And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that the LORD hath commanded; 11 The tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his taches, and his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets, 12 The ark, and the staves thereof, with the mercy seat, and the vail of the covering, 13 The table, and his staves, and all his vessels, and the showbread, 14 The candlestick also for the light, and his furniture, and his lamps, with the oil for the light, 15 And the incense altar, and his staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entering in of the tabernacle, 16 The altar of burnt offering, with his brazen grate, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot, 17 The hangings of the court, his pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court, 18 The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords, 19 The cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office.
20 And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses. 21 And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD's offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments. 22 And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered, offered an offering of gold unto the LORD. 23 And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, and red skins of rams, and badgers' skins, brought them. 24 Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the LORD's offering: and every man, with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service, brought it. 25 And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen. 26 And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats' hair. 27 And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate; 28 And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense. 29 The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the LORD, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which the LORD had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.

Google (GOOG) has claimed the top spot on Glassdoor's annual list of the 50 best places to work, as well as Fortune magazine's annual list of the 100 best companies for whom to work multiple times over the years. This is in part because Google offers some of the best employee perks, opportunities for career growth, work that positively impacts the human race, and innovative culture.
The portion of time Google hopes employees will spend pursuing innovative ideas about which they are passionate.
Google has everything that an employee would expect from one of the largest companies in the United States in terms of market capitalization: Bicycles and electric cars to get staff to meetings, gaming centers, organic gardens, and eco-friendly furnishings. Google wants to make its employees' lives easier, and it's constantly searching for ways to improve the health, well-being, and morale of its Googlers.
- Google offers on-site physicians, nurses, medical services and health care coverage to keep its employees happy and healthy. Googlers can travel without worries; employees are covered with travel insurance and emergency assistance on both personal and work-related vacations.
- Google also offers some of the best paid parental leave for new parents. Its employees have paid leave up to 18 weeks if the father is the primary caregiver. Mothers are still entitled to 22 weeks of maternity leave. Google cares so much about new parents that it offers parents one-on-one consultations to figure out their scheduling for daycare options, $500 to spend on baby bonding time and well as four child care centers on one of its campuses.
- Google even offers death benefits to deceased employees' families. If a Google employee passes away, his or her domestic partner or spouse receives a check for 50% of the employee's salary every year for 10 years. In addition, surviving spouses see all of the deceased employee's stock option immediately vested. Children of a deceased employee receive $1,000 per month from Google until they reach the age of 19, or 23 if they are full-time students.
- Google also offers a Global Education Leave program, which enables employees to take a leave of absence to pursue further education. All of this education is covered by Google.
- Since Google is one of the most well-known technology companies in the world, it offers employees better job prospects should they decide to leave the Googleplex. It also offers growth within the company, whether it be for middle management or higher-level management opportunities.
- Working at Google provides employees with a sense of contributing to the worldwide population. Google employees positively impact society with the applications and technology on which they are working. These technologies would surely benefit the human race; for example, self-driving cars could enable its passengers to catch up on sleep during their commutes. Its accident rate is uncanny, with just a handful of accidents in 1.7 million miles driven, many of which were determined to be caused by human error. Google is developing new wearable technology—contact lenses with technology that could read the user's blood glucose level, which is highly beneficial to diabetics.
- Google only looks for the best and brightest minds, and employees are always exposed to other amazing employees and intelligent thinkers. Being around other intelligent thinkers allows for a creative work environment, collaboration and disruptive innovation.
- Google offers its employees one of the most innovative work environment cultures. Google cares so much about innovation that it has set forth nine principles of innovation. One of the principles encourages Google employees to spend 20% of their time pursuing innovative ideas about which they are passionate about. Products and applications, such as Google News, Google Alerts and Google Maps Street View, have been born from this principle.
- To help with morale, employees are free to bring their pets to work. Some Googlers describe that being able to bring their pets to work keeps their energy levels up, as well as bringing joy to other employees.
Although there are highly intelligent employees at Google, there is no rocket science that goes into Google offering one of the best work environments. Google simply treats people with respect and supports its employees' creative and innovative endeavors.

"Big" Dream 2 (August, 2013)
(from the series of "Big" dreams)
This is a dream of a patient who was involved in a family dispute that was very troubling to him. It involved his extended family. The members of this family are prominent and are used to being respected, listened to, and even obeyed. In the dispute no one was listening to or respecting or obeying anyone else, and the man felt discounted. On the day of the dream, it came to the dreamer's attention that many of the family members, in spite of their outward disrespect, might have been listening to him more than he thought. He devised a plan based on this assumption, but, when he went to sleep, he still felt shaky and weak, feelings that were not usual to him.
The dream
The man is climbing up some steps. The climb is a climb but not very difficult. When he reaches the top of the steps, he realizes he is at the top of Mt. Everest, the tallest mountain in the world. He had seen films taken by people who had climbed to the top of Everest and had read descriptions. The cold and the wind, in his understanding, had always made it treacherous at the top, however, in the dream, he was amazed to find that the top was large and comfortable. The weather was mild and the top was square and quite large. He went to the edge and looked down and saw a massive temple, like those found in Cambodia or Bali. It was made of dark rock and was square. Suddenly a wave of vertigo came over him, and he realized he had to come down from the mountain, but the dream ended before he found the best way down. It should be added that, at the top, the dreamer was not alone; there were others with him.
Psychological commentary
Though this dream is, by our definition, a "Big" dream, it is not as big as other dreams. It certainly felt big to him. It certainly had archetypal images (mountain, heights, temple, climbing), and it was very big to the man, but it grew from the family situation in which he was embedded. If he had been president of a country involved in a war and he had had this dream, we would think of it as bigger. If he was struggling with some personal problem, we would say it was big for him, but not for others. This dream took place in the context of a family dispute and seems to be relevant to it, so it is bigger than him but not as big as some dreams.
The dream does not present a solution to the family problem. It seems to compensate for the feelings of weakness and degredation the dreamer had been feeling. It elevated him in spirit. It gave him the feeling that the solution he had developed during the day before the dream may have some validity. However, it suggested that he was in some sort of psychological danger from this elevation and solution, even if it was relevant to the family problem. It would have been more dangerous if he had been alone at the top and could find no way down. Here there was a way down, but the dreamer hadn't found it yet.
Psychological isolation is not a danger in itself. It is a danger in that it can lead to actions that discount others and disregard their feelings and the actual relationships in which the isolated person is involved. He feels alone when he isn't, and this can lead to angry and desperate acts. It is a form of paranoid delusion.
It can help some for the dreamer to be aware of the problem and to use what Jung called Active Imagination to solve the dream problem. In this case the dreamer, upon awakening, "re-entered" the dream and imagined returning down the steps. However, the feeling of isolation persisted for another day until life events absorbed him back "down to earth" and into the everyday relations that were his ordinary life.

When students convene for LRCT-2010, College Success this fall, there will be one notable absence: A costly textbook.
For the first time in the course's history, students will be able to use freely available Open Educational Resources, or OER, to complete the class. The average savings per student will be about $130. The switch demonstrates how CCRI is embracing OER to help make higher education more affordable for students, who typically spend about $1,200 annually on textbooks.
"Once I started taking a look at some of the open options, I really liked what I saw," said James Salisbury, associate professor and reference librarian at CCRI. "The cost of the book was about the cost of a third of the course."
Along with potentially high price tags, traditional textbooks carry restrictive licenses that prevent faculty members from taking innovative approaches to make material available to students. OER have been funded, published and licensed to be freely used, adapted and distributed for course use. CCRI's work with OER comes on the heels of a 2015 challenge from Gov. Gina Raimondo for colleges to transition to openly licensed textbooks to cut $5 million in student education costs.
David Ernst, creator of the University of Minnesota's Open Textbook Library and a leader in the subject, visited the Knight Campus recently to discuss the program with about 15 faculty and staff members. Ernst oversees the largest collection of open textbook materials available, with almost 400 texts in a variety of subjects. Hundreds of colleges nationwide access the library for teaching resources, he said.
Students can download materials for no cost or print them at low cost, generally about 20 percent of the cost of a regular text. In many cases professors also have the opportunity to tailor the material to suit their classroom needs.
"This seemingly not-shiny, not-flashy technology, in my mind, has more potential to impact student success than any technology that I have worked with," Ernst said.
At CCRI, some faculty members already are exploring alternatives to combat the increasing cost of textbooks.
"The books constantly have to be updated. The changes are continuous," said Cecile Roberti, associate professor and Business Department chairwoman. Roberti said the department works continuously to keep textbooks and accompanying resources available.
"We try to work with publishers to make it a reasonable price point for students," Roberti said.
The alternative, potentially, is students delaying the purchase, sharing books or deciding not to buy them at all.
Alfred Craig, professor of biology at CCRI, loans students copies of a 2009 edition of the same textbook that other sections are using.
"I bought 52 copies of the book and I give them to the students to use for the semester so they are all using the same book," he said. He can use an older edition in his class because of the subject area – "Evolution doesn't work at a pace that is changing that much" – but notes that doesn't work for constantly changing fields such as computer science.
Craig also has explored finding open texts in biology, which usually carry a heavy text book price tag for students.
Michael Kelly, chairman of the Computer Studies and Information Processing Department, is using open materials for COMP-123, Systems Analysis and Design.
"I found one [open text] that covers the core material I need and it is both free and downloadable as a PDF," he said. Students can reference the text from any device that reads PDFs, and he fills in any gaps with supplemental material.
"The students will end up with the same content they always got. It's the same as switching to any other text; this one is just free and portable," he said.
While CCRI professors are under no obligation to explore open textbooks, Salisbury will lead a presentation on OER during Professional Development Day on Friday, March 31.

Dear Friends,
How often on newscasts do we see the report of a procession, parade or march at some place of heroism or death or in some public place as a mark of human solidarity. These masses of people, moving in an unrehearsed rhythm all take place for a reason. They draw attention to an event, celebrate an occasion, demonstrate support for a cause or in allegiance to a person or an ideal. Wherever the Pope travels, masses of people gather. So too, after the murders at the Charlie Hebdo office, in Ferguson, and Staten Island. Last week, cities broke ranks with winter by marching in the Saint Patrick's Day parade. We marched in Selma 50 years after Bloody Sunday.
The purpose of a parade, procession or march is to persuade the bystander to move in his or her own heart from being a mere onlooker to be touched by what one sees and hears. "Come with us," we plead wordlessly.
Next Sunday we will recall the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem – a procession that ultimately leads to the cross. Then, on Holy Thursday, we process with Jesus from the upper room and the last supper to a vigil, where we will wait with him and pray, in remembrance of his own prayer before being arrested. That night, we process with Jesus to his trials. We witness the total self- gift of the One whose love is never ending and whose promise is that we are never alone.
On Good Friday, a cross is carried in procession through our streets and through our churches, a reminder that Jesus carried his own cross to death. Can there be a more poignant, dramatic or challenging sign of the depth of God's love?
On Holy Saturday night, at the Easter Vigil, a lighted candle is carried in procession up the same aisle where the day before the cross had been carried. Now the candle proclaims for all to see that God had indeed triumphed over evil. Darkness and death have been destroyed.
To the casual observer, this week makes little sense. Nor will it ever make sense, if we only stand by, watching unmoved. The Liturgies of Holy Week invite us to walk with Jesus during these astounding days when the generosity of God toward us human beings is revealed so dramatically. As we walk with Him and one another, we attempt to understand what Jesus was feeling and thinking during these hours.
To do so is to be caught up in the experience of death on the cross as it becomes a way to life. We can imagine Jesus saying to us "Wonder with me that what looks like defeat is really victory, and that my horizon, apparently limited like yours, is shattered, once and for all." And incredibly, the processions, parades and marches of our own life comes into focus. We see the year that's been, the people who have come and gone, the shape of our lives made more in conformity with that of Jesus, or not. We can't see any of it without walking alongside Jesus to all those places and experiences which made his death a worthy preparation for His being raised up.
Together, let us step off and be on our way.
~Sister Joan Sobala

CSS Quick Tip: Inline Boxes with Bottom Alignment
The challenge
Keeping a submit button at the bottom of a line box, aligned with form controls positioned below their label (Figure 1).
The tricky part
If the containing block is not wide enough for the submit button to flow next to the other controls, that button must show at the beginning of the next line box (according to RTL/LTR context) with minimal space above it (Figure 2).
The solution
display:inline-block allow us to keep everything in the flow and at the bottom of the line box. This is because
inline-block generates a block box (see 9.2.4 The 'display' property), which itself is flowed as a single inline box, similar to a replaced element (i.e. an image).
The Markup
We group label and control pairs inside
<form>
  <select></select>

  <select></select>

  <select></select>

 <input />
 </form>
The CSS
label {display:block;} div { display:inline-block; margin:0 10px 10px 0; *display:inline; zoom:1; }
To position the controls below their associated label, we style the labels with
display:block (without this, these elements would show side-by-side).
Note that styling the labels as block does not make them expand across the form, but only across their parent boxes - which share the same line box. This is because the inside of an inline-block is formatted as a block box, and the box itself is formatted as an inline box.
The two last rules are for IE 6 and 7 which do not support
inline-block. For these browsers, we need to style the
divs as inline and use
zoom. Note that this hack is not as robust as the real thing because a nested (non replaced) element with a layout will break everything, sitting on its own line inside the form. So, unless you plan to give such nested elements a width, do not give them a layout.

have not seen any posts suggesting if and how this can be done, so am reaching out to the forum for advice/guidance.
As I am setting up Opencats for a friend of mine who has a recruitment company in the UK, is it possible to add extra fields to the relevant sections for example, in the Candidate section, there is city, state, but no country, and as he has candidates from across Europe, would it be possible to add a field for Country? The same would be for companies, as he has clients across Europe.
Any advice/guidance would be appreciated.

"We must all work together to create healthier workplaces and ensuring mental health issues are part of our focus is critical. We are pleased that today's World Mental Health Day is shining a light on workplace mental health. " — Larry Brown, NUPGE President
Ottawa (10 Oct. 2017) — 2017 marks the 25th World Mental Health Day observed every October 10. Mental health in the workplace is the theme of World Mental Health Day 2017 and the National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE) strongly supports a greater focus on mental health in the workplace. Workers have a right to a safe and secure workplace, one that ensures they are not harmed either physically or mentally by their work environment.
The statistics are disturbing with a reported 1 in 5 people in Canada afflicted by mental health issues every year. Mental health encompasses our emotional, psychological and social well-being and lack of mental health impacts our physical well-being and ability to function effectively in our workplace. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 350 million people across the world are currently living with a mental illness.
The need to support mental health in workers is clear, but the benefits go beyond individual well-being. WHO states that "a negative working environment may lead to physical and mental health problems, harmful use of substances or alcohol, absenteeism and lost productivity. Workplaces that promote mental health and support people with mental disorders are more likely to reduce absenteeism, increase productivity and benefit from associated economic gains." According to the WHO, "depression and anxiety disorders cost the global economy US$ 1 trillion each year in lost productivity."
Canada still does not have a comprehensive mental health strategy and resources are still not available, as mental health is a largely hidden health issue. Canada should adopt clear policies and a roadmap for moving forward can be found at the global policy level. WHO's Global Plan of Action on Worker's Health (2008-2017) and Mental Health Action Plan (2013-2020) outline relevant principles, objectives and implementation strategies to promote good mental health in the workplace. These include: addressing the social determinants of mental health, such as living standards and working conditions; activities for prevention and promotion of health and mental health, including activities to reduce stigmatization and discrimination; and increasing access to evidence-based care through health service development, including access to occupational health services.
"Unions have a great record of protecting the physical safety of workers, we must ensure that governments, employers and labour all work together to also ensure our workplaces similarly support the mental health of our workers," said Larry Brown, President of the National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE).
The National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE) is one of Canada's largest labour organizations with over 370,000 members. Our mission is to improve the lives of working families and to build a stronger Canada by ensuring our common wealth is used for the common good. — NUPGE

Former CIA analyst Michael Scheuer told Newstalk ZB the disappearance of #MH370 was more skillfully executed than 9-11.
Missing Malaysian Flight #MH370 Was Last Seen Heading Towards Pakistan
The last known position of MH370 was pinpointed as it headed east over Peninsular Malaysia. Radar pings then suggest the plane could have then taken two paths along 'corridors' which are currently being searched, which are a fixed distance from the radar station in the Indian Ocean (left) (Daily Mail)
Final contact was seven hours after the jet's last confirmed position – possibly from the ground.
News Talk ZB reported:

A former intelligence officer with the CIA says the disappearance of Malaysian flight MH370 has been more skilfully executed than the 9/ 11 attack.
There's speculation that the plane might have landed somewhere.

Mike Scheuer told Newstalk ZB's Rachel Smalley it appears to be even more precise than 9/11.
"It's not evident that it was a suicide mission. Perhaps they have other uses for the plane if it's a terrorism attack.

"Perhaps they're going to try bargain with the West for the release of some al-Qaeda people in return for releasing the passengers who were on the plane."
He says if it was an act of terrorism, there could be a rogue plane out there.
"Once their plane is down somewhere you can repaint it, you can put a different number on the fuselage, and if you replace some of the equipment it won't give off the identifying signal that it would give off normally.
"And then you have kind of a wild card aircraft out there."

Galgos have leaner musculature and more stamina for endurance running, and are either smooth or rough-coated and come in a wide variety of colours, much like the greyhound.
Galgos, like the greyhound, make fantastic pets with their mellow and friendly personalities. They get along well with other dogs, cats, and children. These gentle giants adjust well to home life and quickly discover the comfort of your couch and lap. Galgos, much like the greyhound, make great apartment dogs as they are not typically a bark-prone dog and can do well with regular daily exercise.
We partner with rescue groups in Spain to facilitate galgo adoption here in Atlantic Canada. Through this partnership these dogs come to you fully vetted with up-to-date vaccinations, spay or neuter, and tested for Mediterranean diseases. They also come with a personality profile courtesy of their rescue group and can be small pet tested prior to adoption.

Solo exhibition

October - November 2014
Solo exhibition
the White Page, Minneapolis,
October - November 2014
The interstate highway system has had a profound impact on the American landscape and experience. The interstate has made long distance car travel one of the most efficient form of transportation, and as such it is from the interstate that many of us see our country. It has connected and torn apart communities at the same time.
This exhibition showcased two projects inspired by the interstate highway system. The Dwight D. Eisenhower System of Interstate and Defense Highways of the contiguous United States (right) is a map of the network within the lower 48, rendered in cotton cord and hung from the ceiling. Each cord corresponds to one interstate, and the cords are knotted together at the points on their routes where they intersect. While accurate in scale, the map distorts space by draping and stretching.
Maps are often used as symbols for place - in Minnesota, the outline of the state is seen everywhere, on teeshirts, tattoos, and logos. We rarely question this conflation of "borders" with "map," but of course there are many ways to map a place. Interstate highways are an integral part of the modern urban experience, and so I created a series of seven maps of different American cities (above), wherein the only feature displayed are the routes of the interstates cutting through them. Stylized and colorful, they are set of new emblems for the American city of the 21st century.
This exhibition was staged at the White Page in Minneapolis in October/November 2014, the culmination of a month-long residency in their studios. For more information on the White Page, visit their website: the-white-page.org

BizBuySell.com reports that sales of small businesses are rising as owners become more willing to lower prices.
Over the past few years, selling a business has been a frustrating and futile activity for many entrepreneurs. But the pace of transactions in the current marketplace may be an indication that the business-for-sale marketplace is finally emerging from its prolonged period of sluggishness.
The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that BizBuySell.com, the Internet's leading business-for-sale marketplace, experienced a highly active selling period during the first quarter of 2012. According to BizBuySell.com, the number of business for sale transactions during Q1 2012 was the highest since 2008.
BizBuySell also says that the primary motivating factor behind the rising pace of transactions seems to be lower price expectations among sellers as the median sale price dropped 3.2% this quarter to $150,000.
"Business owners are continuing to adjust their pricing in order to expedite a sale," said Mike Handelsman, group general manager of BizBuySell.com. "While some may still be holding out for an economic recovery, many more are trying to exit at acceptable prices, even if it means settling for a lower number than they originally expected."

A conventional loan is ideal for those who make larger down payments and have a stronger credit profile. Unlike government backed loans (FHA,VA,USDA), conventional loans are not insured by government agencies. So they conform to underwriting guidelines set forth by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Therefore, you will find that the higher the credit score, the lower the interest rate. Times have changed, so this isn't your 1980's conventional loan. You don't need 20% down. In fact, this is a big misconception about conventional loans.
Many recent changes have expanded the available pool of mortgages to buyers through conventional loans.Bear in mind, if you are buying an investment property you will need a conventional loan. Sometimes condos (unless FHA/VA approved) require that you buy using a conventional loan as well.
For many this is an ambiguous question when they start the process of getting pre-approved to buy a home. What factors make conventional loans better for one than an FHA loan would be? When does FHA apply better to someone compared to a conventional loan? How are the two loans different? How is mortgage insurance different between the two loan types? Which of the loan types allows higher debt ratios? Which is more forgiving on credit? For some basic information on a comparison, check out this blog

Look Ma, No Wipers
OK. Here I go again about the clean windshield issue.
If you read this blog regularly (Terry and I call it the LABS project), maybe you've read a few posts I made about windshields and Aquapel by PPG. And you would also know that my '94 740 BMW (with over 230K miles … paid fo') got smacked by a flying shock absorber a few weeks ago and I had to come off the hip for $635.00 + change for a new windshield. No tears, please. S–t happens. Stay with me, I'm almost there.
Anyway, since I had to replace the windshield, this meant I needed to re-apply the Aquapel rain repellant to my new windshield. Why? Because, as I posted before, the stuff works. And it works like magic. Ergo, I was not going to drive around for long with a new windshield and no Aquapel protection. I got around to doing this two weekends ago (Why am I just now writing about it? I don't know – and who cares!). I also bought enough to re-apply my wife's Explorer since it had been close to a year since I did both vehicles. See loves it, too. While I was at it, I put on some new wiper blades for her (she loves me!).
Anyway, it rained the following week … all day. To work and from work. Lots of rain. First time out with a fresh Aquapel application … awesome. This is the truth. I'm 1 mile from the interstate. Take it for about 13 miles then a couple of miles to the office on surface roads. For those 13 freeway miles, at 70 mph, I never used the wipers … NEVER. Rain just blows off the windshield at this speed. Unbelievable. You got to get this stuff – it's magic. And you don't have to be a brain surgeon to use it. Until next time.
PS – I do not work for PPG and no one paid me to say these nice things about Aquapel. It's just good stuff that works!
UPDATE: 14 Mar 07 … I have discovered you can purchase Aquapel on the Amazon store – just search Aquapel.

Low-income earners strolling along King Street, east of Spadina, probably wouldn't think their next apartment could be in a new 36-storey highrise in such a prime location. But thanks to some innovative thinking from some unlikely partners, four units in the Great Gulf Homes project on Charlotte Street will rent for between $482 and $600 when the building is completed in January 2012.
That's largely due in part to efforts of Trinity-Spadina Councillor Adam Vaughan, developer Gary Switzer, president and CEO of Tricon Development Group, and Kehilla, a non-profit agency that works to develop affordable housing for the Jewish community in the Greater Toronto Area.
Last year, Great Gulf, which Switzer represented at the time, gifted Kehilla with four condos in exchange for additional density from the City of Toronto. Kehilla will retain ownership of the units and under an agreement with the city, will ensure that the apartments remain affordable. Vaughan championed these units to be offered within the building, meeting his goal of inclusionary zoning.
The project was recently the focus of Kehilla's Bagels to Bricks Symposium at the University of Toronto, which attracted the developer community as well as lawyers, non-profit agencies and city planners, to discuss opportunities to create new affordable housing in the city.
The partnership between the city, Great Gulf and Kehilla started about a year ago when Switzer went to the city asking to add four storeys to the plans for the then-32-storey Charlie condo, designed by architects Diamond and Schmitt.
To get approval for the extra floors, Vaughan proposed that instead of taking his request to the Ontario Municipal Board, Switzer consider making four units available for affordable housing.
The 314-unit condo building, when completed, will feature a studio apartment, a one bedroom, one-bedroom den and two-bedroom suites, which will be owned and operated by Kehilla. The rents will vary from $482 for a 408-square-foot studio, up to $558 for the one-bedroom, 544-square-foot unit. The rents meet the established affordable housing median income objectives. If purchased, the four units would be valued at more than $1 million. The market value of the units is in the neighbourhood of $214,000 and up.
Switzer knew Singer and decided it was the right group to bring into the project.
"What has to be emphasized about what we did is we achieved it through partnerships, many of them unlikely," says Nancy Singer, executive director at Kehilla.
The issue of developing creative ideas for affordable housing, such as the Charlie project, is one Vaughan says must receive more attention not only from the city, but also with the help of developers. He says there has been a 37 per cent increase in the population in the downtown core in the last decade, and while 15,000 units of housing have been built in his ward in the last 15 years, just one per cent of that is large enough to accommodate families.
"We have a sustained housing crisis in this city," says Vaughan. "If we as a city don't stand up and try and find ways to provide housing to a range of people, we won't be living up to our responsibility. The crisis of the last 15 years is still with us."
He says affordable housing is "being chased from the downtown core."
"What we have is affluent housing for singles or couples in the downtown core," says Vaughan. "Eventually, they do have children, and effectively the affluent couples gentrify neighbourhoods east and west of the core, forcing working class families out of those areas and the couples and young people struggling in those buildings can't move to anywhere affordable for family and so they migrate to the 905."
Vaughan says the goal should be to incorporate affordable housing units within downtown buildings to help create greater economic diversity.
"We need to find ways to experiment with willing developers to create affordable housing in the downtown core on site. You have nurses who live in Scarborough but they can't get transit downtown on Sunday mornings.
"If we don't find a way to build an employee base into the hospital district and the core they (people working in service jobs) will live further and further away."
Vaughan says the city has been approaching buildings in the University Ave corridor to add inclusionary housing units when developers ask for changes to zoning.
"When they come asking for re-zoning and asking for four or five or six extra floors to a highrise, city council is asking them to add a layer of worker housing into the building," he says.
However, creation of affordable housing can't just happen with the construction of new units, largely funded by new buyers through costs of development charges says Switzer.

"If we, as citizens, really believe in subsidizing new housing, all of us should be doing it, not just new purchasers."
Switzer says inclusionary zoning is how many other cities have created affordable housing.
"That is what we did with Charlie and the kind of direction this concept is really leading towards. Look at Vancouver and some American examples like San Francisco, which has inclusionary zoning and made it mandatory in some case — all units have to include five to 10 per cent affordable housing which relates to median income," says Switzer.

Dove Release
One of the biggest fears wedding couples have is that their guests will become bored during the day. One such occasion where this may arise is whilst the photographs are being taken and the guests are left to mull around until they are required. During this period you might want to lay on some form of Wedding Entertainment, such as a magician or give a nice focal point such as the releasing of white doves.
Not only can the release of white doves during your wedding help to alleviate boredom of your guests but it can also act as an alternative to the throwing of confetti or rice, as more churches and wedding venues are not permitting this due to the mess that is made.� The release of doves would be a great Environmentally Friendly alternative to celebrate a couples union - being both clean and safe for the environment.
White doves are a symbol of peace, love, faith and fidelity, and the release of a pair of doves or a flock of doves by the bride and groom will signify they are about to embark on a new life together. Such a romantic display is sure to have all your wedding guests wanting to capture the moment on camera.
Finding the right wedding dove release company
There are a number of companies offering dove release as a service and the most important consideration is to make sure the dove release company has a good track record when it comes to the welfare of birds and is open to you viewing the birds they will use. If you don't think the birds look healthy with stained or missing feathers, try a different company.
Consider before you hire a dove release company for your wedding :
- Check they are available for your wedding date.
- Check that the doves used are trained homing pigeons, as they once released will circle the sky overhead and have the instinctive ability to fly home unlike that of doves.
- Ask if they are members of the Royal Pigeon Racing Association >> or one of the other UK organisations.
- Irish Homing Union (IHU) >>
- North of England Homing Union (NEHU) >>
- North West Homing Union (NWHU)
- Scottish Homing Union (SHU) >>
- Welsh Homing Union (WPHU)
- Ask what happens in bad weather, if they are a reputable supplier they will not allow their birds to be released when weather conditions are poor such as fog, heavy rain or poor light (after dusk), as they might get lost.
- Check with the supplier the distance the birds would have to travel from the church/wedding venue to their loft to ensure the distance is within the birds range.
- Ask whether their birds have been vaccinated.
- Ask if you can visit where the birds are housed so that you can see their living conditions.
- Check whether you have to pay a deposit.
- Check whether you would receive a refund, or be offered an alternative service, if the doves were unable to be released due to poor weather.
- Make sure the cost of travel is included in the price.
- If the wedding is delayed, and as a result there is a delay to the releasing of the doves, will there be an additional charge incurred, and if so how much?
- Will you be allowed to release the birds, or will a handler be provided on the day?
- If you are to release the doves do they provide gloves?
- Will the dove release coordinator/handler attending your wedding be smartly dressed?
- Would they be able to decorate the dove carrier with your choice of wedding theme?
Before you contact a Dove release company for your wedding first seek the consent of your church or wedding venue to avoid disappointment.
Dove Release Options
The two main options for releasing your wedding doves are the 'hand release' and the 'flurry (or flock) release'. The 'hand release' is simply the bride and groom each releasing one white dove at the same time. The 'flurry (or flock) release' is the same as the 'hand release' with the addition of a larger group of doves being released from a box, these in turn join up with the first two doves.
Pigeon or a dove?
When you see the term 'Dove Release' it is the generic term for any breed of pigeon which is used during a ceremony. The favoured type of Release Dove is the homing pigeon which is a member of the Rock Dove>> family with some strains being bread just for ceremonial release. Of course, grey is not a particularly fetching colour so white homing pigeons are normally preferred to Ringneck Doves >> for ceremonial release, as the ringneck dove lacks the homing ability and therefore may not survive once released into the wild.

This is not going to be a happy post.
In my ongoing search for Thomas James Molloy who married Philomene Alexandre, I contacted a Find a Grave member because he had this headstone.
It's the headstone of John Molloy (Malloy) who was Thomas James Malloy's brother. Maybe he was somewhat related to the Malloys so I wrote him a message.
I wanted permission to use it on Ancestry and on this blog.
Little did I know that…
This is the biography he wrote..
To see contributors relying on eighty year old data based SOLELY upon what what was transcribed decades ago is not what I believe Find A Grave is about. They duplicate memorials because the data they based their memorials upon is abundant with misspellings. Memorials that read Name "Unknown" — Date of Birth "Unknown" — Date of Death "Unknown" — Cemetery "Unknown." What benefit is that entry to the viewer? Tens of thousands of memorials with a couple hundred photographs, and few if any links to family members to me signals a problem.
Considering this, I couldn't agree more with the following statement I saw on a fellow contributor's profile.
"I think it is a real shame what findagrave has evolved into. What started as a noble way to link people with graves of loved ones they could never hope to see, and with the generations that had preceded them, has turned into a game for some. Memorials have turned into a kind of "trading card", a competition of who can own the most memorials and post the highest numbers. What has been forgotten by many is that these were people, loved in life and death, not a commodity to be traded or owned.
With my apologies to those that have pure motives. I hope there are more of us than there are of them."
His widow is the one who contacted me.
Hi Pierre,
I am writing to inform you that John past away two months ago. I am his wife and I do not have an issue with you using the picture or writing about what John wrote on your blog.

Orders of protection, or restraining order was originally designed to provide protection to an individual who is a victim of domestic battery or has been threatened of some harm. The legal ramifications of this order for the accused could be immense.
If say, your ex-partner has issued an order of protection against you, you have to stay away from that individual in all situations. The document also disallows you from meeting your children. Now imagine facing these disturbing consequences, even though you have done nothing wrong. Like all other legal instruments, Orders of protection too have been highly abused in the country.
DuPage County is no exception. As experienced and qualified lawyers, we will protect your rights. We will provide you with strong defense that will nullify the alleged victim's claims. We do this, because we believe in you. We also provide strategies to broaden your rights during the on-going procedure.
Our criminal defense attorneys excel in noticing the loopholes in the complaint which include the aggressive police pressure on the victim to file an order of restraint, and the consequent results. What the normal eye misses, is picked up by our lawyers.
They go into the depth of the case and emerge successful at getting the orders of protection vacated. We can proudly say that our record in doing so has been impressive.
So if you receive a order of restriction in DuPage County, do not panic or feel overwhelmed. Contact us immediately. We offer free consultation to our clients. We understand the intensity of the situation and your state of mind. Our services extend beyond legal consultations. Our lawyers stand by you to support you, keep you going and protect you reputation and standing in society.

What do we know of the Paranormal? Do ghosts actually exist? Does the search into the unknown fill you with wonder? We fear what we don't know because we don't understand it. If a door closes by itself, could there be a logical explanation for it?
There are many questions into this phenomena because there is very little "evidence" recorded. Can recording devices, special cameras, and meters capture what evades the naked eye?
This Halloween season, take a journey with a group of Paranormal Investigators as they try to answer these questions and more.

Out and about in Boston: Enterprise 2.0 conference
June 20, 2011 Leave a comment
For people following us in Twitter and/or Facebook, you might have noticed that we have settled ourselves for a week of hefty intellectual knowledge absorption on the Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston, USA. Two years ago we visited this conference for the first time, and it was an instant hit for us. Although we like the parties on SXSW, the E2.0 conference is just a different ball game. More serious, more business and more practical for DigiRedo. So this year we decided to spend our annual US trip to go to this conference instead.
The conference will kick off with a day of in-depth workshops. We have chosen to go to the 'Black Belt Practitioner's In-Depth Workshop':
In this full-day lecture and interactive workshop, learn first hand from practitioners who have tackled adoption, architecture, change management, community management, education, governance, and the realities of living through an Enterprise 2.0 transformation. The workshop will cover the Social Business opportunity from inside out. Chock full of real-life anecdotes and time/money saving advice from Global 2000 companies who've been there, done that and are ready to share.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday will be covered by thirteen (!) tracks, varying from Analytics & Metrics to Community Management, from Business Leadership to the Mobile Enterprise. See the full program here.
We have been doing quite a few Enterprise 2.0 implementation processes and learned along the way. What we found particularly interesting is not so much the technology (though we do remain geeks) but more the people who will be using the technology, and the environment created by enterprises to enroll in an E2.0 process. Way too often we see that the 'human factor' is not taken into account sufficiently, thereby running the risk that the entire program is not adopted, or worse, sabotaged. We hope to be able to find answers during this week as to how to engage the audience and how to spark their enthusiasm to actually start using E2.0 platforms.
Furthermore we of course expect to see some new cool stuff and cutting-edge technologies in the field of Enterprise 2.0 platforms and to speak to a few industry leaders in this field. Armed with our camera and microphone we will be doing coverage for our bloggers, so stay tuned!
