The use of positive pressure ventilation fans during firefighting operations in underground stations : an experimental study
Karel Lambert (UGent) , S. Welch and Bart Merci (UGent)
(2018) FIRE TECHNOLOGY. 54(3). p.625-647
Department of Flow, heat and combustion mechanics
Positive pressure ventilation (PPV) fans are widely used by the fire service during firefighting operations in buildings. Fans are positioned to create a flow through the enclosure. This flow can remove the smoke after the fire or affect the direction of the smoke to support firefighting operations. In subway stations, it is less common to use PPV fans. Here, 106 full-scale tests with up to four fans have been performed in a training building that represents a subway station. The fans were used as extraction fans. The generated flow through the subway station has been measured. The critical velocity for a hypothetical tunnel (W x H: 3.17 x 4.15 m) attached to the subway station has been calculated as 2.37 m/s. Reaching the critical velocity has been used as criterion for 'success'. All combinations with four fans exceed this velocity, supporting the idea that the fans could be used to facilitate a firefighting operation. The location of the fans was varied. Combinations with three fans on the platform and one at the top of the staircase performed better than combinations with two fans on the platform, one on the landing and one at the top of the staircase. There is an optimum value for the distance between the fans on the platform and the first step of the staircase. This value depends on the angle of inclination of the fans. The fans were not capable of creating a flow that exceeded the critical velocity in the station itself (L x W x H: 60 x 7.15 x 4.53 m). However, a velocity of 2.40 m/s corresponds to a flow rate that will limit the backlayering distance in the station to 15 m. This was only achieved by tests with four fans (three on the platform and one at the top of the staircase).

HomeMusic NewsVinyl records: Why is demand still so high?
Those who thought the record went out in a blaze of glory in 1991, care of Simply Red's 'Stars', were about to get a shock. 4.1 million albums were pressed and sold in the UK last year, and 2016 saw spending on vinyl beat digital for the first time, a move few thought would happen in the new frontier.
With greater access to free tunes via sites like YouTube, why are customers going back and putting their hands in their actual wallets for physical music…? Let's take a look at the key factors behind this miraculous musical revival.
When legends of the scene go to that great concert in the sky, people want to celebrate them the way they'd want to be remembered: through their records. David Bowie's death in 2016 was particularly significant, with all those great vinyl album covers and memories of putting his stuff on the turntable. This isn't to ignore the interest of today's listeners, who are forking out as much as their forefathers on classic artists.
It helps that his legacy is still burning as brightly as ever. 'Blackstar' was his final album, released two days before his death, giving the disc an unexpected power and poignancy. The musical 'Lazarus' was a project realized later that year and special releases can be found on vinyl at an eye-opening price.
This year's celebration has just gone by, but Record Store Day has cemented vinyl in the national consciousness for music lovers, and fuelled demand no end. 2007 was the year it all started, with the aim of uniting record stores up and down the country. Over a decade later it's still going strong.
Aside from typical places for vinyl, such as the aforementioned record stores and one stop shops online, the big boys have waded into the conversation. HMV have had a growing record section for years and now supermarkets are stocking a limited supply of discs, hoping to cash in on something that's clearly more than just a passing phase.
This renaissance can take some surprising forms. For example, this month Sainsbury's are going to be selling a spoken word album in the form of a Doctor Who story starring Tom Baker. So not only is vinyl booming but it could branch away from music and embrace other kinds of recorded entertainment.
The tangible nature of vinyl is something that streaming simply can't replicate. While music was supposed to have been reduced to data inside a mobile device a long time ago, the consumer is thinking outside that tiny box.
Not only is the feel of a record and a well-designed cover attracting buyers, but the sound is also prized. The analog recording process captures the audio experience more accurately and though some are put off by the crackle and hiss, others find it reassuring and organic.
The bottom line when it comes to demand for vinyl is that customers want to go out of their way to pay for it. Whether opting for a classic re-release of a defining album, or listening to their favourite new artist on an old and trusted format, the fact is people want to have records on their shelves. This could either be for pure pleasure or pure profit. Nevertheless, vinyl has endured and continues to endure.
The expectations that digital would become the dominant musical form have fallen away, though it's the variety offered by things like streaming which has broadened the public's taste for music, and had them reaching for something they can put a needle on.
Sylvia is the founder of the popular Vinyl Price Comparison Search, www.vinylrecordsearch.com. Why is it popular? Because it is a quick, clean and easy way of making sure that you don't pay more than you need to on records! You can also use it to see if you are sitting on a gold mine with your vinyl collection.

Q: wc -l command issues in SunOs to Linux migration We are migrating from SunOS to Linux. I'm facing some problem with wc -l command. When I used wc -l <file_name>, SunOS is giving leading spaces before count where as Linux there are no leading spaces. This is causing failures of row count validation scripts of my jobs. I tried to create a function like this to append some leading spaces in Linux
wc () {    /usr/bin/wc "$@" | sed 's/^/       /';  }

however its not working for all row count values. How to solve this issue rather changing 200+ scripts of all my jobs.

A: Actually, the behavior I see for Linux (and OSX) matches SunOS reasonably well, with some differences for the number of digits.
HPUX follows the description in POSIX, which shows no leading blanks in the format:
"%d %d %d %s\n", <newlines>, <words>, <bytes>, <file>

You can imitate SunOS's format using awk
#!/bin/sh
wc () {
    /usr/bin/wc "$@" | \
    awk '{
        for (n = 0; n < NF-1; ++n) {
            printf("%8d ", $n);
        }
        printf "%s\n", $NF; }'
}

wc "$@"

I intentionally left a blank between columns to avoid the problem noted in the POSIX rationale.

A: The SunOS wc output matches the definitions of SYSVr4.
I cannot see any real divergence to the POSIX standard. Even the build-in wc from ksh93 matches the SunOS output and a recent Solaris 11 even uses the wc library implementation from ksh93 with no change in the output.
If your scripts have problems with the output from one or another wc implementation, this is a strong hint for a non-portable script that should be fixed.

Adamantine Arrow p.186
During the course of defending those weaker than themselves, warriors are occasionally required to put their own bodies in harm's way, so as to spare others pain and suffering that they are ill-equipped to endure. This sacrifice is among the noblest undertaken by the career combatant, for it demonstrates the sense of love and duty that she feels toward her people.
Practice: Shielding
Action: Reflexive
Duration: Transitory
Upon successfully casting this spell (which need not be cast on the mage's Initiative, but which does use up her action for the turn), the mage may interpose herself between any person within a number of yards equal to her Speed and an incoming attack aimed at that person. The attack is resolved against the caster, and successes on the attack roll are applied to the caster, rather than the intended target. Immediately after the attack is resolved, the caster is automatically returned to her original position, now suffering from whatever injuries she might have sustained.
Adamantine Arrow Rote: Taking a Bullet
Dice Pool: Dex + Athletics + Space
In the mid-18th century, a Seer of the Throne infiltrator attempted to assassinate the Hierarch of the Consilium of Königsberg with a poisoned stiletto in open court. Konrad Torvald, the Consilium's Adamant Sage, intercepted the blow, apparently by way of a spell improvised as the weapon's envenomed tip closed on the Hierarch's heart.
Although Torvald died, he did so in the execution of his duties and was buried with a hero's honors. Afterward, other Arrows studied and dissected the magics their fallen brother had employed and this rote has gradually come into use as a part of the Adamantine Arrow's repertoire of bodyguarding techniques.

The history of e-commerce is braided with the history of the internet. Three decades ago, the use of the internet was uncommon and only popular amongst 0.4% of the world's population. The notion of buying 'online' was not considered safe and realistic. How could one spend money on something they had not seen or touched in reality? Today, the same market values for more than $1.55 trillion. The slightest thought of living without e-commerce seems incomprehensible and inconvenient to many of us.
How did we get here then? It all began with a box of pizza being sold online, soon to be followed by the e-commerce giant Amazon and eBay, being established two years later in 1996 (Host, 2019). What happened next is history. As technology advanced, the banking system followed including credit card companies creating PCI data security standards to ensure a safe online experience. Furthermore, with the existence of search engines people became more curious and realized the power of the internet. Due to the abundance of information and people turning towards the web to find answers, businesses grasped this opportunity. Shopping online and receiving purchases on your doorstep was a phenomena people glorified. Where else could you shop for as long as you desired and with such variety?
There are quite a lot of advantages to buying online with the world becoming a global village. You can connect across the world with one click and shop from countries you have never actually been to. There is no time restriction and you don't have to stress over parking but what are the main reasons you should buy online and not in stores?
This is an obvious reason why you should be buying online. Did you ever have to go from store to store just to find the right product? With online shopping, those days are gone. All your favorite brands are just a click away. You have a wide range to choose from.
Do you know your budget and despise looking at something you cannot afford? Just use the filter to set your spending limit and you'll only see the options you can afford. Most of your favorite brands even have products that are exclusively available online at a good price!
You are no longer a target of the assertive sales tactics and have no pressure to buy something you might not need. You decide what's better for you and can take your time before purchase.
Online marketplaces have reduced the hassle by providing unlimited options to choose from. Whether you want to replace your TV or buy a new pair of shoes, everything is available in one spot.
You have a shopping list but you don't have enough time. Online shopping makes it convenient to buy multiple things at the same time that might not even belong to the same category. You can even surprise your loved ones with a gift that has your personalized special message.
Nowadays, people have a wide range of options to choose from. However, e-commerce marketplaces play a major role due to their variety of options and reviews available online right next to the product. Did you ever question which enterprises enable this omnichannel shopping experience? Players like ChannelEngine enable brands, distributors and retailers to list their products on marketplaces and affiliate channels in order to facilitate customers to reach their products at as many touch points as possible. It also makes sure that orders are timely handled and returns are picked up quickly, making the shopping experience seamless. ChannelEngine is dedicated to connecting you with marketplaces from all over the world.

When the Good Samaritan Foundation's Scholarship Program was launched in late 2013, one student was awarded a scholarship. A year later, interest in and support of the program has meant that seven more students have received scholarships from the Foundation.
These seven senior secondary students – all from Good Samaritan Education Colleges (five from Sydney, one from Wollongong and one from Melbourne) – were presented their scholarships during a special event last month at St Scholastica's College, Glebe in Sydney.
Around 100 supporters of the Foundation gathered for the presentation, including award sponsors Tony Carroll representing Carroll & O'Dea Lawyers and Patsy Healy of WN Bull Funerals, principals of Good Samaritan Education Colleges, the Hon Jamie Parker MP, State Member for Balmain, Sister Clare Condon, Congregational Leader of the Sisters of the Good Samaritan, and many Good Samaritan Sisters.
The scholarships will cover (in full or in part) each student's tuition costs for years 11 and 12 at a Good Samaritan College.
"The Foundation is delighted to offer these scholarships which support the local community and assist families facing particular challenges," said Catherine Cresswell, the Good Samaritan Foundation's newly appointed Executive Director.
"The Good Samaritan Foundation is committed to creating more life-changing opportunities for young people facing disadvantage. Good Samaritan Education Scholarships allow students to attend or continue their schooling in the nurturing environment of a Good Samaritan College," said Catherine.
Sarah Camm of Mater Christi College, Belgrave in Melbourne feels "very privileged" to have been selected for a scholarship.
"The scholarship has provided security for me and my mother particularly in knowing that I can continue to go to a good school… It has taken some financial pressure off my family and meant that they can support me in other ways," she explained.
For Sarah, attending the scholarship presentation also proved to be beneficial in other ways.
"I had never been to Sydney before," she said.
"It was great to meet the students from the other Good Samaritan schools and to realise how many people support Good Samaritan Education.
The scholarship program is one of many initiatives supported by the Good Samaritan Foundation.
The Foundation began in 1999 to provide ongoing finances and resources to support the works and ministries established by the Sisters of the Good Samaritan. Some of the key projects of the Sisters include The Good Samaritan Inn in Melbourne, which provides safe accommodation to women and children escaping domestic violence, Good Samaritan Housing in Brisbane, which provides accommodation for young homeless mums and children, and support for refugees and asylum seekers.
In 2014-15 the Foundation began a new chapter in its life with a new Board of Directors and an Executive Director, as well as the relocation of its offices from Brisbane to Sydney to establish a more national focus.

Most of us would've grown up with cartoons and taken a particular liking to the animals the artists drew. From Winnie the Pooh to Scooby Doo, we all have our favorites! The best thing some people on the internet do is recreate scenes from these movies using lookalike animals and it makes the cuteness scale tip over! There are also some that just have uncanny resemblances to their cartoon friends and that's when you have to thank nature for making this happen. Here are our top five cartoon animals in real life.
This frog was recently discovered in Costa Rica and was noted for its resemblance to everyone's favorite muppet, Kermit! The newly found frog also has a weird attribute: all of its organs are visible through its transparent underside. This frog is definitely a favorite around the world for its muppet like exterior; maybe someone will capture a photo of it and a pig with a blonde wig on.
Puss in Boots – cuteness overload!
Puss in Boots gets everyone with his big adorable eyes and whimpering so no one can resist. Well this is the real life version of Puss in Boots and he is even cuter than the cartoon version - especially considering you can pick him up and cuddle with him!
The white markings on the back of this deer make it look like the cartoon Bambi and many people have a soft spot for this cartoon due to the brutal scene where Bambi's mother gets killed by a hunter (sorry for the spoiler). This deer looks so morose and lonely; this could just be feelings from the movie being placed on this seemingly normal deer, but probably not!
Lady and the Tramp, dining together!
The famous Lady and the Tramp scene of them dining on spaghetti and meatballs has gone down in film history. This adorable real life depiction of it is amazing and is up there with one of the best recreations of a movie ever!
This is an odd pairing within nature but in the context of "Aladdin," it's an amazing photo that shows any animals can be friends. Abu are Iago are originally enemies but you can see now they are friends in the cartoon world and the animal world! Isn't it great when that happens?
It's always fun to see cartoon animals in real life and reminisce about your favorite scenes from the movies they're in. Not only are these photos seriously cute and funny they also show that the animal world has a big influence on our feelings and that is why they are used so commonly in cartoons because they evoke an emotional response in us we didn't even know we had.

BIOSYNTH Molecule of the Month: Rapamycin
Products & Services | BIOSYNTH AG
With more than 100,000 substances and chemical entities in its product portfolio, microbiology and organic fine biochemical CDMO and specialist supplier, BIOSYNTH AG, has countless molecular stories to tell.
This month we are focusing on the fascinating macrolide Rapamycin, first discovered on lonely Easter Island in the Pacific, that has potent immunosuppressant medicinal applications in preventing transplant rejection and coating coronary stents.
Rapamycin: description
Rapamycin (BIOSYNTH catalog number Q-201659) takes its name from Rapa Nui, the traditional Polynesian name of Easter Island. Also known as sirolimus, it was first isolated in 1972 by Surendra Nath Sehgal and colleagues from samples of Streptomyces hygroscopicus discovered on the Island in 1965.
Rapamycin is biosynthesized by combining a type I polyketide synthase (PKS) in conjunction with a nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) which organize the domains responsible for the linear polyketide of Rapamycin into three multienzymes, RapA, RapB, and RapC, containing a total of 14 modules. The linear polyketide is then modified by the NRPS, RapP, which attaches L-pipecolate to the terminal end of the polyketide, and then cyclizes the molecule, yielding the unbound product, prerapamycin. This core macrocycle, is then modified by an additional five enzymes (see illustration) to yield the final product, Rapamycin or sirolimus.
Pharmacological applications
Sirolimus was initially developed as an antifungine and antibiotic agent. However, this was overtaken when it was also discovered to have powerful immunosuppressive and antiproliferative properties due to its ability to inhibit the mTOR (mammalian target of Rapamycin) gene that encodes the kinase that regulates cell growth, cell proliferation, cell motility, cell survival, protein synthesis, autophagy, and transcription.
These properties give Rapamycin very potent immunosuppressant properties by inhibiting activation of T cells and B cells by reducing their sensitivity to interleukin-2 (IL-2) through mTOR inhibition.
This means Rapamycin can be usefully applied to prevent kidney and other organ transplant rejection, coat coronary stents, and treat the rare disease lymphangioleiomyomatosis that progressively leads to cystic lung destruction, particularly in women of child-bearing age.
The US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approved Rapamycin as an immunosuppressive and antiproliferant in 1999 and it's now marketed as Rapamune by Pfizer.
Looking further ahead, the antiproliferative effects of sirolimus may have a role in treating cancer by enhancing the immune response to tumor targeting. It has been shown to inhibit the progression of dermal Kaposi's sarcoma in kidney transplant patients, for example.
Even more exciting, Rapamycin may hold a key to longer life since mTOR1 has been shown (2003) to be important in aging, with a study indicating that sirolimus inhibited and slowed aging in worms, yeast, and flies. Later it was found to improve the condition of mouse models of various diseases of aging.

Auto loan data reveals some interesting insights about how consumers of different ages tend to finance their vehicles. Experian analyzed its consumer debt data to look at how the number of auto loans, average loan costs, and missed payments vary across generations.
One notable trend is that U.S. consumers born between 1965 and 1980 are more likely to have multiple auto loans. These Generation X vehicle owners also spend the most on average on monthly car bills compared with other age groups. And whether the vehicle is a workhorse pickup or a luxury convertible, data suggests that the older the vehicle owner is, the less likely they are to be making payments on it.
This pattern may also track with what is known about differences in wealth built by different generations. At the start of 2022, millennials still lagged behind the wealth levels accrued by Gen X and baby boomers when they were at the same points in their lives, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.
Generation Z and millennials, more likely than older generations to hold only a single auto loan, saw their average monthly auto payments increase the most of any generation year over year in 2022. Gen Zers are ages 9 to 25, and it's too early to say how the financial habits of the group's adult consumers—ages 18 to 25—will look. Younger Americans are more likely to borrow money for their automobile purchase than any other generation, according to the most recent Experian auto loan data. They're also more likely to struggle with making car payments.
Of course, car owners of all ages have seen the cost of new vehicles skyrocket since spring 2021, triggered by a surge in demand amid computer chip shortages and other supply chain constraints. But even before the pandemic, sticker prices had been steadily rising. At the end of Q1 2013, the average cost of a new car was $31,526; by Q1 2022, it had climbed to $45,927, according to Kelley Blue Book.
As prices have increased, loan terms have been getting longer than ever, which has also played a role in changing auto loan habits. Read on to see how these trends have shaped the financial landscape for U.S. car owners across generations.
Older generations take out fewer car loans
Members of the Silent Generation—born from 1928 to 1945—are the least likely to have an auto loan. About half of all baby boomers, a generation now in their 60s and 70s, are paying down at least one auto loan. This could indicate that older consumers are more likely to have paid off their auto loans and own their vehicles outright.
Older generations have generally had more time to build their wealth and pay off their debts, so it's unsurprising that 4 in 5 members of Gen Z over age 18 hold at least one auto lease or car loan. As of 2022, the older members of Gen Z are reaching the age of 25, and are just getting their foothold in the workforce. But estimates of Gen Z's purchasing power have jumped in recent years. This growing and diverse cohort of consumers saw their gross income jump nearly 40%—from $27,779 in 2019 to $38,635 in 2020—according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Gen X pays the most for monthly auto payments
While millennials and Gen Zers are comparatively more likely to have an auto loan, it's Gen X that is paying the biggest bills each month. Gen Xers are considered to be in their peak spending years and earned more income than any other generation in 2020, according to BLS data. These Americans may be financing more expensive vehicles than younger generations of consumers.
At the start of 2022, Gen X vehicle owners were paying $637 per month on average for their auto loans. That's compared with $547 for millennials and $429 for Gen Z on average each month.
When it comes to the largest increase in their bills, Gen Z's auto loan payments jumped 9.2% year over year between 2021 and 2022—a much bigger rise than other generations. Millennials followed behind them with a 7.5% jump over their 2021 average.
Gen Z has the highest share of late auto payments
Gen Zers are struggling the most of any generational cohort to keep up with auto loan payments. However, U.S. consumers of all generations had a harder time making timely payments on their auto loans at the start of 2022 compared with last year. Year-over-year increases in late payment rates were most dramatic for millennials and Gen Z auto owners; their incidence of individuals with currently late payments increased by 13.4% and 12%, respectively.
An auto loan is considered delinquent when a monthly payment is missed by 30 days or more. Lenders may not consider a loan in default until three payments in a row are missed, or payment is generally more than 90 days late. Repossession can occur after that length of time. The timeline for default and repossession can vary by lender, however.

Gartner forecasts a 2.4% increase in global IT spending.
DX Journal Staff
Companies in the US can't afford to blow their budgets this year in the face of inflation. Just look at Salesforce, who axed nearly 10% of their workforce and ended office leases in an effort to reduce business costs by $3 – 5 billion.
Tech giants like Tesla and Google have followed suit, especially for corporate and recruitment staff — but not for IT spending.
Over half of today's digital leaders plan to spend more on IT in 2023 despite common predictions for tough financial times.
But how much more?
Gartner comes through with the numbers, citing a 2.4% increase in overall global IT spending for 2023. This was great news for the SaaS industry especially, as software spending will jump a massive 9.3%.
But this isn't really news.
We saw this coming when Google Workspace boasted an impressive 3 billion users at the end of 2021. Another indicator was the massive IT skills shortage that had companies scrambling to recruit developers, programmers, and engineers.
With more software comes more implementation, strategy, and maintenance. This prompts a 5.5% increase in IT services spending for 2023. We're talking qualified, experienced IT professionals from programmers and cloud architects to network engineers, information security experts, and analytics professionals. Digital leaders want to have a reliable team to keep the data (and revenue) flowing.
On top of that, you can expect to see more and more dollars allocated for the latest automation and productivity tech, aka AI software and robots. Efficiency is the name of the game, and companies will maximize it with both skilled IT professionals and robots.
Still, cloud infrastructure and data center systems will take precedence, with a 0.7% increase in spending this year. Companies need somewhere to sift through, store, and analyze all that data, with insights that 21% of leaders see as driving more revenue.
Don't get too excited, though — your annual laptop refresh might take a backseat as companies drop device spending by 5.5%.
Bottom line? You'll be on the receiving end of a pumped-up IT budget with the right apps, software, and IT skills. As Gartner Analytics VP John-David Lovelock reminds us?
"IT spending remains recession-proof."
DX Journal covers the impact of digital transformation (DX) initiatives worldwide across multiple industries.
With more offices offering hybrid and remote options for employees than ever before, the need for efficiency is essential.
Workplace productivity is declining at the fastest rate in decades, despite employees working more. Experts cite many reasons, ranging from higher financial stress to a plateau following the rise in productivity in the early 2000s. Disruptions in the workday are also inevitable as each new wave of COVID-19 and other illnesses spike.
One way to course-correct is to study how project managers help organizations and apply it to your personal or work-from-home life. Among the crucial skills for project management are time management and critical thinking—two of the most significant barriers to productivity. A successful project manager also understands how to deliver a product or service for a company with limited resources and time.
Another element of project management involves communication, which is crucial for success in any endeavor. Examining communication methods and evaluating areas for improvement can reduce mistakes and help with accountability. Beyond gaining a deeper understanding of your stakeholders, communication boosts productivity.
Adding project management techniques to your daily life has many benefits aside from productivity, especially for people who struggle with time management. For that reason, ClickUp put together a list of techniques used by project managers after analyzing resources from the Project Management Institute. Even though the methods are for business, they can be applied to virtually any task-related setting.

Set goals and define 'success'
Success looks different for everyone, and every successful project management team understands this. Before a methodology can begin, the desired result must be clear.
The end goal or measure of success should reflect reality, with input from the entire team, and also not be set in stone. Having a goal gives project managers a way to scale success. If they assess halfway through the project and find the goal unreachable at the current production rate, they will fine-tune the approach and reevaluate the plan.
Identify hurdles and risks
At the start of a project, it can seem like the only risk is failing to complete it.
But understanding what risk actually means can help avoid bad outcomes. It is essential to define the risk before you begin.
In an office, talk with your manager or client so you understand the goals and worst-case scenario; understanding both can help you better visualize what to avoid and how to plan for success. At home, this could be a project like a basement renovation, where you must gauge how the construction will put your safety at risk. In project management, a manager would engage stakeholders to assess the risks, so in this situation, a stakeholder might be the contractor. Once the contractor outlines the scope of the work, it will become clearer what the risks are.

Assess stakeholders
Stakeholders are those impacted by a product launch or event, even if they don't have direct involvement. They can also include the group of people who work on making the project, as well as the end users, customers, or clients for whom the project is intended to reach.
A good project management team will assess each stakeholder's expectations about the project, such as timelines and deliverables. Stakeholders who are invested in creating the deliverable will need to be happy with the production schedule, quality, and workflow process; they also need to know that the product will satisfy the end user. End users will also need t know that the final product will meet their expectations on what they want to buy or benefit from.
Assuming you know what stakeholders expect can create disappointment and disagreement, so taking time to assess stakeholder expectations when the project starts helps ensure a smoother, better-managed project down the line. Understanding how everyone will feel the impact of every project stage will avoid conflict.

Employ the proper tools
If you've ever heard the phrase "setting yourself up for success," then you understand the importance of having the right tools.
Project management requires the proper tools for tracking results and creating new approaches. Certain tools make communication between team members easier, so taking the time to find the right tools for you will go a long way in boosting productivity. Make sure to evaluate your team's workflow and identify inefficiencies so that you can pinpoint the right tools with solutions. For many teams, this often includes a content or project management system to track progress, a better email organization approach, or a messaging app to facilitate communication.
Assess impact
A project manager with a lot of professional experience understands the impact any event or product launch will have on an organization. PMs can predict how an event launch will affect every industry. They know how outside influences such as the economy or buying behavior can change the outcome of a project.
Impact analysis can help with anything that involves more than one person.
If a team member needs to pitch in on a project or a production schedule needs to be overhauled to account for problems, assess how it will impact the short term. A project manager would determine the financial and reputational cost of disruptions, and the impact of different scenarios that might result from different tactics to solve them.

Implement Agile methods
The Agile method is about consistently seeking better ways to achieve goals for an organization in ways that best benefit the team members. This aspect of project management involves constantly checking in with stakeholders and team members to fine-tune a system or process.
If managing a team, this method would include colleagues and managers giving their input. Each time a member chimes in, the Agile method would require tailoring. Because the Agile method emphasizes collaboration and communication, it can be beneficial in a group project to increase productivity.
Wright Studio // Shutterstock
Implement the Six Sigma structure
Sigma is a word that comes from the bell curve in statistics, where it refers to the deviation from the center.
Whenever plans go haywire, the best bet is to figure out the deviation from the intended outcome, which is why the Six Sigma approach is popular among project managers. This methodology aims to define the reason for the departure and identify the errors.
Then, after assessing the value chain and involving stakeholders, Six Sigma processes ways for the business to run more efficiently. The ability to highlight weak areas of a project can save time and frustration.

Per the above headline, I thought I would just put together a few tips that may help you try to write better emails. Is there a time that works well for you to do that?
If something about the above sentences feels uncertain or even hesitant, it's because they include crutches professionals lean on in communicating through email that can be detrimental to everyday work.
To help you avoid these pitfalls in 2023, Pyn compiled a list of six commonly used words and phrases in emails that business professionals should drop for good if they want to be more effective communicators.
Twenty years ago, according to Gallup polling, almost all internet users were likely to say that email improved their lives (it was also pretty much the only thing they used the internet for).
Today that may not exactly be the case as a generation of white-collar workers pushes back against work bleeding into their personal lives via the always-connected nature of the internet. More than half of professionals don't even feel like they can disconnect while on paid vacation, according to a 2022 survey performed by Glassdoor subsidiary Fishbowl.
Our intense reliance on the medium in today's world of work is all the more reason to become a more effective communicator. Cut straight to the chase with each message you draft, and hit that send button confidently in 2023 with the following suggestions.
fizkes // Shutterstock
'I was hoping to …'
Indirect intent can be an authority killer.
Be clear with the intent of your message to the recipient and avoid using phrases such as "I thought I would …" or "I just wanted to reach out in order to …" or "I was hoping to …."
Other business communications experts have recommended that emails shouldn't include the word "just" as it minimizes credibility. This rule can apply to any other sentence construction that belabors the point of the email.
Draft the message and then read the email back to yourself. Ask what the purpose of each line is. If the sentence in which you make your request, issue a reminder, or assign a task includes filler language like this, your email may be stronger without it.
Professionals who study organizational behavior also caution that some cultures—like that of Japan or midwestern U.S. states—prefer, and are adept at, communicating indirectly. Be sure to understand who is on the other end of your message.
'What time works best for you?' and the folly of 'circling back'
Are you organizing a meeting or looking to get some face time with someone? Avoid asking broadly what time they're available. It can be helpful to move toward the other person in terms of your effort in the engagement.
When you're looking to connect with someone away from email, an open-ended question only prolongs the back and forth. It's a good rule of thumb to treat people you want to work with as though their time is as important, if not more, than your own.
Cut to the chase and suggest a few times that will work with your schedule while showing you're open to other suggestions.

'Try'
A prolific business mentor once told his pupil: "Do or do not. There is no try."
Ah, wait, that was Yoda who said that. Nonetheless, he had a point that shouldn't be lost when communicating effectively through email.
There is a lot of trying that happens in the course of business. Sales associates try to woo new customers and clients. Executives try to appease shareholders when the market disagrees with a particular investment. But attitude is everything, and your authoritative nature will stand out when you stop saying you will try to do things.
Using the word try can be interpreted as a half-hearted commitment. Tell people what you intend to do and, if necessary, include any limitations or hurdles you anticipate. And then give it your all.
Jacob Lund // Shutterstock
'Fine'
Passive aggressiveness is lurking everywhere in today's age of text messaging, Slack and social media. More than that, people could mistakenly read passive aggression in common phrases you may use regularly.
Words like "fine" and phrases including "per my last email" may be used with the best intentions but can be interpreted negatively by the recipient. The last thing you want the person on the other end of an email to do is assume the wrong tone in your message.
Tero Vesalainen // Shutterstock
'I'm connecting you with …'
When connecting people in your network via email be sure to observe the "double opt-in" rule.
Double opt-in means you're independently getting permission from each party that they have the time, resources, and will to participate in the meeting. Both parties are opting to meet each other before you send the introduction email.
Networking gets deals done. But springing a connection with somebody can be detrimental to the business outcome if both parties aren't invested beforehand. Avoid wasting everyone else's time and have those independent conversations with each party ahead of time.
'Re:'
It's time to leave filler text and basic subject lines in the dust.
Over the last decade, the proliferation of email newsletters has given marketing professionals troves of metrics that show us what makes customers open marketing emails and even what is most effective in getting the recipient to take action.
You can employ similar techniques in crafting subject lines in emails to colleagues and prospective business partners or clients. Adding a call to action in the subject is one way of setting expectations for how the recipient should interact with your message.
Billions of emails are sent through the email marketing platform Mailchimp every month; the company has found that people respond to a sense of urgency in subject lines.
What outcome are you hoping for with the email you're sending? Does the person on the other end need to make a decision?
Don't overthink it—state "decision required" or "feedback needed" in front of a brief proposal description separated by a colon or hyphen. This can also be useful when sharing things with colleagues outside of regular business hours. Don't want them to stress over it? State it up front by tagging "not urgent" in your subject line.

Two of Bollywood's biggest stars Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar have spoken out in support of the Hollywood actresses who have come forth about the rampant sexual harassment they have put up with and continue to put up with in the film world. When former Miramax and Weinstein head Harvey Weinstein became mired in abuse allegations, he was ultimately ousted from the company that bore his name and the allegations began to come in droves, not just for Weinstein but for other members of the entertainment world. Both Akshay Kumar and Shah Rukh Khan hope these revelations will help the young actresses of Bollywood find the strength to expose offenders in their part of the country.
It was so common in Italy in the 50s and 60s that actresses would commonly marry a more genial producers so they wouldn't have to put up with the harassment (Sophia Loren's marriage to Carlo Ponti).

Roger Ogden is one of the founding fathers of the Heartland Regional Emmy Chapter. In his years as News Director at KBTV and then as General Manager of KOA-TV (now KCNC-TV), Roger worked tirelessly on the concept that, yes, Denver is a large enough market to have its own NATAS Chapter. Roger was instrumental in creating "value" to the stations that won Emmy Awards. Roger is also considered the "founding father" of two of the best television stations in the country. During his tenure at KBTV, Roger guided the station to one of the most dominating positions in local television. As News Director, Roger was instrumental in establishing local television as a civic leader and community partner.
In a move that may rate as one of the most significant events in Denver television lore, Ogden moved across the street to a proverbial #3 station in a three-station market to take over the reins of KOA-TV. In little more than 14 years, Ogden and his team build KCNC into one of the most respected news operations and television stations in the country. His "local, local, local" philosophy was way ahead of its time and has been the calling card of Colorado's News Channel ever since. Now Ogden is leading the way for American broadcasting interests to get a foothold in the vast European marketplace by heading up NBC's Superchannel based in London.
Few Coloradoans have had so much impact on so many lives as Roger Ogden has through his career in Denver television and beyond. While president of KCNC, Ogden also had responsibility for KUTV, the NBC-owned station in Salt Lake City and led NBC's advisory team to TV Azteca in Mexico City, a network with which NBC has a partnership. While in Denver, Ogden held numerous industry and community leadership positions, including Chairman of the Greater Denver Chamber of Commerce, President of the Colorado Broadcasters Association and Chairman of the Colorado Winter Games Committee, the Colorado Sports Council and the US Olympic Festival. He has also served on the boards of the Rocky Mountain Adoption Exchange, Downtown Denver, Inc., and the Rose Hospital Foundation. Ogden served as the President of the Associated Press Broadcasters Board of Directors and Chairman of the Broadcast Committee.
A Colorado native, Ogden began his broadcast career in Denver at age 13 at KPOF Radio. He worked at stations KLIR and KBTR while attending school at the University of Colorado. Ogden has twice been named "Broadcaster o the Year" in Colorado: 1984 and 1994. He currently lives in London with his wife Ann and two children.

Determinants and effects of Pre-drinking
Kim M Caudwell, Martin S. Hagger
Pre-drinking is the practice of consuming alcohol, usually in a private residence, prior to a social event, and is often linked to excessive alcohol consumption in a short period. Like other patterns of heavy episodic drinking, pre-drinking has deleterious health and social effects including risk of accidents, involvement in social disorder, and reduced functioning. Studies investigating pre-drinking determinants have been informed by theories of motivation and social cognition. Studies have established inebriation and 'having fun', instrumentality (cost, alcohol availability), social enhancement/social ease/conviviality, intimate pursuit, perceived barriers, implicit alcohol identity, and perceived control as determinants of pre-drinking. There are few theory-based interventions to reduce pre-drinking, and interventions have typically had modest effects. Future intervention research needs identify appropriate change techniques and account for socio-structural determinants of pre-drinking.

Chiropractic is the largest and perhaps most well-known form of alternative medicine. D.D. Palmer, founder of the practice, called it "a science of healing without drugs". Chiropractic is based on the belief that disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine, can have negative effects on one's overall health. Chiropractors use spinal manipulation and other manual techniques to structurally align the body, and may also offer nutritional and lifestyle counseling. Chiropractic adjustment is most often used to treat back pain, neck pain, joint pain, or headaches.
Bradley Chiropractic specializes in Chiropractic Adjustments for neck pain, back pain, sciatic nerve pain, shoulder pain and all body alignments to relieve pain and promote health and healing. Our facility is located in central West Hollywood conveniently next to Melrose Ave with a lot of great shopping and restaurants. We are in the Retrofit gym and the office is one of the lucky spots in West Hollywood due to free parking that is available. Dr. Cristina Bradley is resident Chiropractor. She received her Doctorate degree from Cleveland Chiropractic College Los Angeles in 2013 and also holds a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Kinesiology from Cal State Northridge. How the body works and the holistic way of healing has always been her passion. A native Californian, Dr. Cristina was born and raised in Simi Valley and has been a Los Angeles resident for many years. Practicing what she preaches she gets weekly chiropractic adjustments and is engaged in regular daily exercise and healthy living and encourages the same for her patients.

Chiropractic can assist you by working with you and other health care professionals by maintaining your spine in proper health alignment. Every organ in the body is under some type of neurological (nerve) control, so does it not seem sensible that if nerve impulses do not get to the organ it functions the organ is going to be compromised? Our focus at Bass Chiropractic is to actively help you and your family in taking responsibility for your total health, wellness, and disease management. Dr. Marissa Bass will assist and guide you as you take the time to care for some of the most important people in your world: you and your family.

Dr. Vitaliy Yudkin is a well established professional and his exceptional treatment techniques deliver excellent results in a relatively short amount of time. Unlike other chiropractors, Dr Yudkin believes that his patients need to learn more about the healthy way of life. Hence, he is always more than happy to offer his invaluable input and recommendations that will greatly benefit your well being as a whole. Most people these days are spending an enormous amount of time in front of their personal computers or laptops. It is only natural, seeing how our markets revolve around the World Wide Web. Yet, this way of life has some seriously negative effects. As an illustration, just imagine working with your PC for a second and concentrate on the sensation you feel in your spine and your neck. That is right – sitting in the office for eight hours on a daily basis can easily ruin your posture. Furthermore, did you know that it could even ruin your health? Most of us are constantly hastening somewhere in attempts to achieve something or deal with some day to day routines. Unfortunately though, we often forget about our health and wellbeing in the process.

Tauck to launch two new European riverboats in 2014
Award winning ultra-luxury river-cruise operator Tauck recently announced that they will be welcoming two brand-new ships to their prestigious European riverboat fleet next year.
Set to launch in spring or summer 2014, the two-new vessels will continue to represent an evolution in the Tauck's riverboat fleet. Along with new features and amenities, both ships will retain key elements and the same overall philosophy for which the line has been consistently recognised as one of the "World's Best River Cruise Lines" by readers of Travel + Leisure magazine for four consecutive years.
Like their current ships, Tauck's new riverboats will accommodate fewer guests than vessels of a similar size. By maximising the onboard living space, the new ships will offer a higher percentage of suites and provide the intimate, club-like atmosphere for which guests have come to expect. When sailing on a Tauck river cruise or riverboat, you will experience personalised service and exemplary care for which the line are renowned for.
In addition, the river-cruise operator are also set to launch four new European river-cruise ships in 2014, details of which we will be delighted to share with you within the next few months.


The state attorney general declared that the state open records law requires the full disclosure of information in voter records, other than names and addresses made confidential by law.
Information compiled in the voter records of Massachusetts should be available to the general public and state political committees alike, according to an opinion released by state Attorney General Tom Reilly in mid-October.
But the state law on voter records prohibits the release of names and addresses, Reilly said in the Oct. 11 opinion.
This means that full disclosure of the information contained in Massachusetts voter records is permissible for state candidate committees and state ballot question committees, but the general public is restricted from obtaining names and addresses.
According to the October opinion, the public may see "other information" in the records, including effective dates of voter registration, lists of active and inactive voters, their party enrollment, the number of inactive voters sent confirmation mailings and the number of responses garnered by those mailing.
"I conclude that your office is obligated to provide all persons (including statewide committees) with access, upon request, to voter information contained in the Central Registry under public records law, and also to provide statewide committees with access to voters' names and addresses under Section 47C," Reilly said in the opinion, addressed to Secretary of State William Galvin.
Reilly wrote the opinion following a request from Galvin's office for clarification about Massachusetts' open records laws.
Section 47C is the state statute that required state officials to create and maintain the Central Voter Registry, a computer database including names, addresses and effective dates of registration for voters, Reilly wrote in the opinion.
"The purpose of the Central Registry is to maintain a statewide list of all registered voters in the Commonwealth," Reilly wrote.
The statute, however, declares that names and addresses in the registry are not considered public record.
For those who would like increased access to government records, the inability to obtain voter names is frustrating.
"This is a prime bit of absurdity," said Jack Authelet, retired chairman of a freedom of information advocacy group in Massachusetts.

Uluru Kata Tjuta
Kathryn Hand
An ANZAC digger's memory from another lifetime
By Kathryn Hand, PLR Hypnotherapist
The year is 1916. A young Aussie digger is in front of me with his face contorted in pain. He has just been shot in the neck on the Somme battlefield in France. Within minutes he has left his body and he laments the futility of war. This soldier has just taken me though his final minutes of life as Billy Patterson.
Upon waking, back in this lifetime, my partner Mick, is quiet and contemplative after the past life regression I've just guided him through. In this incarnation, he is a Kiwi, and served as a British Army paratrooper. He didn't imagine he'd find himself as an Australian soldier in the first World War. His somewhat sceptical mind found it hard to believe.
Luckily, we had a name to search for, so I was determined to find some evidence to support the session's information. It's often not easy to find names people give in past life sessions. One requires the skills of a genealogist and historian to recover someone's past life person in most cases. However, I thought it would be easy to locate Billy. The records of soldiers are meticulously recorded and updated. But after weeks searching, we became deflated as Billy Patterson was evasive and not showing up in any searches.
Eventually, we enlisted the help of the War Memorial. More weeks went by and still we heard nothing. Then, a rewarding email arrived. The War Memorial had located Billy. It turned out his surname was spelt with just one 't'. We'd been searching for the more typical spelling with a double 't'.
Mick was away working at the time, and I opened up the email to find a photo of Billy Paterson in his uniform. It was a surreal moment to sit there looking at the face of the man I'd heard describing his death just months earlier. Here I was looking at another version of my partner from an earlier lifetime. There was even a striking resemblance between him and his past-life person. I cried at the loss of the life of this innocent budding man.
It took Mick a while to fully comprehend the enormity of the search results. The records confirmed exactly what he had described: his death on the Somme, his burial place, his name – all there in black and white from the War Memorial. Slowly, he has embraced this past aspect of him. We've accumulated a statue of a WW1 Digger, some literature about the ANZACs and a newfound respect for these brave young soldiers.
Last year, I went to my very first Dawn ANZAC service, something I have always wanted to do. It's always an emotional day, and on 25 April 2019 my emotions were overflowing and my heart filled with admiration and pride to be by Mick's side amongst the throngs of people paying their respects at the Cenotaph in Martin Place.
Mick also had a first...marching with the red berets in the Anzac Day March. He pushed a 94 yo digger in his wheelchair. Mick had always felt like he didn't deserve to march, somehow feeling inadequate compared to the diggers of the two World Wars. These days it's not always popular to participate in celebrations of war and military. We are all aware of the futility of it all. But for Mick to pay homage for a part of his life that shaped him, and to pay respect to those that lost so much, it's important. He finally donned his red beret from the paratrooping days and marched with pride, the ghost of Billy Paterson by his side.
Images: 2019 ANZAC Day March, lower right corner shows Mick in his paratrooping days. Second image shows Mick with other members of Paratrooper battalions.
Mick has now located Billy's battalion colours and has a real slouch hat. We talk about Billy often. One day, we might locate the Paterson family and introduce 'Billy' to them.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.
