Occupy Melbourne calls for a treaty with First Nations
Barunga Statement Hawke's Draft Treaty Treaty - Yothu Yindi Barunga Statement
Barunga Statement - Expand
Occupy Melbourne has released two new Media Releases advising the intentions to resume peaceful occupation of public space in Treasury Gardens, Melbourne on Saturday 29th October - and calling for a Treaty with the First Nations.
Occupy Melbourne's 8th General Assembly passed a proposal to support the creation of treaty between the First Nations of Australia and the Australian Commonwealth Government.
In 1988 Prime Minister Bob Hawke declared his intention to negotiate a treaty with the Aboriginal First Nations by 1990.

Occupy Melbourne calls for a
Treaty with the First Nations of Australia
Occupy Melbourne's 8th General Assembly passed a proposal, put forward by the Indigenous Working Group, to support the creation of a treaty between the First Nations of Australia and the Australian Commonwealth Government.
The call for recognition of Aboriginal Sovereignty gained public prominence in Australia with the establishment of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in Canberra in 1972.
At the 1988 Barunga culture and sporting festival Prime Minister Bob Hawke declared his intention to negotiate a treaty with the Aboriginal First Nations by 1990. Yet, such a treaty was never established.
In December this year the Australian Government will consider options for formally recognising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the Constitution.
Robbie Thorpe, member of Occupy Melbourne's Indigenous Working Group, argues that Constitutional recognition isn't enough to protect the sovereign rights of Aboriginal and Torres Islander peoples.
Thorpe asserts, "Without a treaty Australia doesn't have a foundation for its law. The Treaty should underpin the Constitution, rather than having the Aboriginal People slotted into the Constitution 100 years later."

Occupy Melbourne to Regroup
12:00noon, Saturday, 29th October 2011 at the State Library of Victoria
Occupy Melbourne intends to resume peaceful occupation of public space in Treasury Gardens after assembling at the State Library of Victoria at noon, on Saturday the 29th of October.
Occupy Melbourne has always been committed to peaceful public assembly, free speech and social justice.
That commitment remains unchanged.
We are re-establishing contact with the City of Melbourne in an attempt to guarantee public safety ahead of Saturday's re-occupation.
An announcement is expected from City of Melbourne about park use soon.
We have tents, kitchen and other logistics planned - and intend to re-establish camp as decided by consensus at the 7th General Assembly.
Please join us on Saturday, 12 noon on the State Library lawns to help celebrate our commitment to Direct Democracy.
Together we can build a better future.

Paul Keating's Redfern Speech - The transcript
I am very pleased to be here today at the launch of Australia's celebration of the 1993 International Year of the World's Indigenous People.
It will be a year of great significance for Australia.
It comes at a time when we have committed ourselves to succeeding in the test which so far we have always failed.
Because, in truth, we cannot confidently say that we have succeeded as we would like to have succeeded if we have not managed to extend opportunity and care, dignity and hope to the indigenous people of Australia - the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people.
This is a fundamental test of our social goals and our national will: our ability to say to ourselves and the rest of the world that Australia is a first rate social democracy, that we are what we should be - truly the land of the fair go and the better chance.
There is no more basic test of how seriously we mean these things.
It is a test of our self-knowledge. Of how well we know the land we live in. How well we know our history. How well we recognise the fact that, complex as our contemporary identity is, it cannot be separated from Aboriginal Australia. How well we know what Aboriginal Australians know about Australia.
Redfern is a good place to contemplate these things.
Just a mile or two from the place where the first European settlers landed, in too many ways it tells us that their failure to bring much more than devastation and demoralisation to Aboriginal Australia continues to be our failure.
More I think than most Australians recognise, the plight of Aboriginal Australians affects us all. In Redfern it might be tempting to think that the reality Aboriginal Australians face is somehow contained here, and that the rest of us are insulated from it. But of course, while all the dilemmas may exist here, they are far from contained. We know the same dilemmas and more are faced all over Australia.
This is perhaps the point of this Year of the World's Indigenous People: to bring the dispossessed out of the shadows, to recognise that they are part of us, and that we cannot give indigenous Australians up without giving up many of our own most deeply held values, much of our own identity - and our own humanity.
Nowhere in the world, I would venture, is the message more stark than in Australia.
We simply cannot sweep injustice aside. Even if our own conscience allowed us to, I am sure, that in due course, the world and the people of our region would not. There should be no mistake about this - our success in resolving these issues will have a significant bearing on our standing in the world.
However intractable the problems may seem, we cannot resign ourselves to failure - any more than we can hide behind the contemporary version of Social Darwinism which says that to reach back for the poor and dispossessed is to risk being dragged down.
That seems to me not only morally indefensible, but bad history.
We non-Aboriginal Australians should perhaps remind ourselves that Australia once reached out for us. Didn't Australia provide opportunity and care for the dispossessed Irish? The poor of Britain? The refugees from war and famine and persecution in the countries of Europe and Asia? Isn't it reasonable to say that if we can build a prosperous and remarkably harmonious multicultural society in Australia, surely we can find just solutions to the problems which beset the first Australians - the people to whom the most injustice has been done.
And, as I say, the starting point might be to recognise that the problem starts with us non-Aboriginal Australians.
It begins, I think, with the act of recognition. Recognition that it was we who did the dispossessing. We took the traditional lands and smashed the traditional way of life. We brought the disasters. The alcohol. We committed the murders. We took the children from their mothers. We practised discrimination and exclusion.
It was our ignorance and our prejudice. And our failure to imagine these things being done to us. With some noble exceptions, we failed to make the most basic human response and enter into their hearts and minds. We failed to ask - how would I feel if this were done to me?
As a consequence, we failed to see that what we were doing degraded all of us.
If we needed a reminder of this, we received it this year. The Report of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody showed with devastating clarity that the past lives on in inequality, racism and injustice in the prejudice and ignorance of non-Aboriginal Australians, and in the demoralisation and desperation, the fractured identity, of so many Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders.
For all this, I do not believe that the Report should fill us with guilt. Down the years, there has been no shortage of guilt, but it has not produced the responses we need. Guilt is not a very constructive emotion.
I think what we need to do is open our hearts a bit.
Perhaps when we recognise what we have in common we will see the things which must be done - the practical things.
There is something of this in the creation of the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation. The council's mission is to forge a new partnership built on justice and equity and an appreciation of the heritage of Australia's indigenous people. In the abstract those terms are meaningless. We have to give meaning to 'justice' and 'equity' - and, as I have said several times this year, we will only give them meaning when we commit ourselves to achieving concrete results.
If we improve the living conditions in one town, they will improve in another. And another. If we raise the standard of health by 20 per cent one year, it will be raised more the next. if we open one door others will follow.
When we see improvement, when we see more dignity, more confidence, more happiness - we will know we are going to win. We need these practical building blocks of change.
The Mabo judgment should be seen as one of these. By doing away with the bizarre conceit that this continent had no owners prior to the settlement of Europeans, Mabo establishes a fundamental truth and lays the basis for justice. It will be much easier to work from that basis than has ever been the case in the past.
For this reason alone we should ignore the isolated outbreaks of hysteria and hostility of the past few months. Mabo is an historic decision - we can make it an historic turning point, the basis of a new relationship between indigenous and non-Aboriginal Australians.
The message should be that there is nothing to fear or to lose in the recognition of historical truth, or the extension of social justice, or the deepening of Australian social democracy to include indigenous Australians.
There is everything to gain.
Even the unhappy past speaks for this. Where Aboriginal Australians have been included in the life of Australia they have made remarkable contributions. Economic contributions, particularly in the pastoral and agricultural industry. They are there in the frontier and exploration history of Australia. They are there in the wars. In sport to an extraordinary degree. In literature and art and music.
In all these things they have shaped our knowledge of this continent and of ourselves. They have shaped our identity. They are there in the Australian legend. We should never forget - they helped build this nation. And if we have a sense of justice, as well as common sense, we will forge a new partnership.
As I said, it might help us if we non-Aboriginal Australians imagined ourselves dispossessed of land we have lived on for 50 000 years - and then imagined ourselves told that it had never been ours.
Imagine if ours was the oldest culture in the world and we were told that it was worthless. Imagine if we had resisted this settlement, suffered and died in the defence of our land, and then were told in history books that we had given up without a fight. Imagine if non-Aboriginal Australians had served their country in peace and war and were then ignored in history books. Imagine if our feats on sporting fields had inspired admiration and patriotism and yet did nothing to diminish prejudice. Imagine if our spiritual life was denied and ridiculed.
Imagine if we had suffered the injustice and then were blamed for it.
It seems to me that if we can imagine the injustice then we can imagine its opposite. And we can have justice.
I say that for two reasons: I say it because I believe that the great things about Australian social democracy reflect a fundamental belief in justice. And I say it because in so many other areas we have proved our capacity over the years to go on extending the realism of participating, opportunity and care.
Just as Australian living in the relatively narrow and insular Australia of the 1960s imagined a culturally diverse, worldly and open Australia, and in a generation turned the idea into reality, so we can turn the goals of reconciliation into reality.
There are very good signs that the process has begun. The creation of the Reconciliation Council is evidence itself. The establishment of the ATSIC - the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission - is also evidence. The Council is the product of imagination and goodwill. ATSIC emerges from the vision of indigenous self-determination and self-management. The vision has already become the reality of almost 800 elected Aboriginal Regional Councillors and Commissioners determining priorities and developing their own programs.
All over Australia, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities are taking charge of their own lives. And assistance with the problems which chronically beset them is at last being made available in ways developed by the communities themselves. If these things offer hope, so does the fact that this generation of Australians is better informed about Aboriginal culture and achievement, and about the injustice that has been done, than any generation before.
We are beginning to more generally appreciate the depth and the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. From their music and art and dance we are beginning to recognise how much richer our national life and identity will be for the participation of Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders. We are beginning to learn what the indigenous people have known for many thousands of years - how to live with our physical environment.
Ever so gradually we are learning how to see Australia through Aboriginal eyes, beginning to recognise the wisdom contained in their epic story.
I think we are beginning to see how much we owe the indigenous Australians and how much we have lost by living so apart.
I said we non-indigenous Australians should try to imagine the Aboriginal view.
It can't be too hard. Someone imagined this event today, and it is now a marvellous reality and a great reason for hope.
There is one thing today we cannot imagine. We cannot imagine that the descendants of people whose genius and resilience maintained a culture here through 50 000 years or more, through cataclysmic changes to the climate and environment, and who then survived two centuries of dispossession and abuse, will be denied their place in the modern Australian nation.
We cannot imagine that.
We cannot imagine that we will fail.
And with the spirit that is here today I am confident that we won't.
I am confident that we will succeed in this decade.

In 2007, midwife A helped treat a pregnant woman who had been admitted to the hospital due to pain. By mistake, A gave the woman an overdose of morphine, and the woman and her unborn child later died. According to the medical evidence in the case, the direct cause of the woman's death was a perforated gall bladder, but the incorrect dosage was a contributory cause of the death of the woman and her unborn child.
The case concerned whether journalist B and editor-in-chief C had infringed the provisions on libel in the Danish Penal Code in connection with statements on this case in newspaper articles.
The Supreme Court held that according to their content and context, the statements made in the articles had to be interpreted as conveying that A in the course of her work had made a serious mistake when she injected the morphine and had thereby contributed to the death of the woman and her unborn child. As these statements were true, B and C were acquitted.

Scoliosis and Pregnancy
Scoliosis can be an incredibly debilitating condition even at the best of times, but when the person with the curved spine is also pregnant, the results can be catastrophic.
Original photo by Thomas Pompernigg
Yes, scoliosis and pregnancy are a troublesome combination. The weight of your unborn child significantly increases the load on your spine, and this can cause scoliosis to progress rapidly over the course of the pregnancy. Bearing children tends to leave scoliosis sufferers even worse off than before; post-birth, the mother's Cobb angle will often be far greater than it was before she became pregnant, and the symptoms of her spinal curvature far harder to ignore.
Knowing this, many scoliosis sufferers decide never to have children, but if you want to be a parent then you don't have to let your curved spine get in the way.
Here at the Scoliosis SOS Clinic, we have helped many scoliosis sufferers to sidestep the problems that often accompany pregnancy when your spine is abnormally curved.
In this video, Nancy Laudon (22, New York City) talks about her wish to have more children and how ScolioGold treatment gave her the confidence to get pregnant again without worrying about her scoliosis progressing.
People with scoliosis frequently come to us and complete a ScolioGold course before conceiving a child, and our treatment techniques help to keep their scoliosis stable during pregnancy. Many of these patients have also reported that they generally did not suffer from the back pain that commonly affects pregnant women, even those with perfectly healthy spines.
Roz Couch (46, Surrey) came to the Scoliosis SOS Clinic for treatment in 2006 prior to having any children. Our ScolioGold treatment course reduced her Cobb angle measurement, and as the X-rays below illustrate, this result has been maintained (and indeed reduced slightly further) over the last 10 years and through two pregnancies.
After 10 Years & 2 Pregnancies
January 2016 34⁰ & 38⁰
Roz's story was featured in Baby Surrey magazine shortly after the birth of her first child - here's what she had to say about her experience:
"I had great results in my 4 weeks, reducing my scoliometer reading by nearly 50%...over the months that followed, and continuing the exercises each day, I saw a lot of my old pains disappear."
"Commitment and hard work are the key but given that option and the option of having surgery, I know which one I would choose every time!"
If you are thinking of having a child, but you are worried about the effect that pregnancy might have on your curved spine, please contact us to book an initial consultation at the Scoliosis SOS Clinic and find out how we can help you.

Why Did Scoliosis SOS Relocate from Suffolk to London?
When Erika Maude founded Scoliosis SOS back in 2006, she opened a clinic in Martlesham, a village in her home county of Suffolk. Word quickly spread, and patients flocked to the Scoliosis SOS Clinic from miles around, eager to see if the Clinic's exercise-based scoliosis treatments could give them a better quality of life and eliminate the need for invasive surgery.
In 2009, Erika and the Scoliosis SOS team decided that, in order to better serve the needs of scoliosis sufferers from further afield, the Clinic should relocate to its present-day home in London. Non-surgical scoliosis treatments are still not widely available in a lot of countries, and many scoliosis sufferers wanted to travel to our clinic from abroad but found it difficult to get to a small village in Suffolk.
Left: Our old clinic in Martlesham, Suffolk.
Right: Our current location in the City of London.
By contrast, our current location on Mansell Street in London is easily accessible from just about anywhere. London, of course, is served by several international airports, and Mansell Street is within easy walking distance of several railway stations (Fenchurch Street, Liverpool Street) and London Underground stops (Aldgate, Aldgate East, Tower Gateway and others).

Treating a 25° Curve With ScolioGold Therapy
We recently treated 16-year-old Dea from Leytonstone, who was diagnosed with scoliosis back in April and whose spine displayed a 25° curve. After the initial diagnosis, Dea and her sister visited their doctor to find out what could be done, but according to Dea, "the GP wasn't much help at all. He just said, 'you're going to have to live with it, there's not much you can do about it'...my sister got very agitated by that."
It was for this reason that Dea and her sister decided to research treatment options themselves, which is what led them to the Scoliosis SOS Clinic. At her initial consultation, Dea realised that she wouldn't necessarily have to just 'live with' her scoliosis - her pain and her hunched posture could be treated after all.
You can see Dea's full account of treating her 25° curve in the video below:

Scoliosis May Be Linked to Irregular Spinal Fluid Flow
A couple of months ago, we shared the news that researchers at Hiroshima University in Japan had identified the gene responsible for causing idiopathic scoliosis to develop in certain people. Their findings were based on experiments conducted on zebrafish (a popular choice for genetic research, since they are genetically similar to humans and mutations can be introduced and observed with ease); now, further zebrafish research has yielded another huge clue as to the origins of idiopathic scoliosis in human beings.
Fish skeleton image from www.princeton.edu
This time around, the findings came not from Japan but from North America. On the 10th of June 2016, Science published a report compiled by researchers from Princeton University (USA) and the University of Toronto (Canda) - here are the two key implications of their findings:
Idiopathic scoliosis may be linked to the flow of fluid through the spinal column. The researchers bred zebrafish with a genetic mutation that affected cilia development in the ependymal cells lining their spinal canals. Cilia are tiny bristle-like protuberances that help to move fluid through the spine, but the mutated zebrafish developed damaged cilia, which disrupted the normal flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The fish with damaged cilia eventually developed idiopathic scoliosis, suggesting a strong link between CSF flow and spinal curvature.
The progression of scoliosis can be blocked. The researchers found that, by restoring cilia motility in the mutated zebrafish, they were able to prevent scoliosis from progressing. This was even true when the cilia were restored after the onset of scoliosis, suggesting that science may one day be able to provide a non-invasive, non-surgical means of stopping a curved spine from getting any worse.
This is clearly a big breakthrough - countless scoliosis sufferers have undergone surgery to combat their condition, but the results of this zebrafish study imply that there may eventually come a time when this is no longer necessary.
Of course, it may take many years to reach that stage. Genetic treatments take a long time to perfect, and it is currently not even known whether this research is translatable to humans who suffer from scoliosis. Still, if you suffer from scoliosis and you're looking for an alternative to surgery in the here and now, you may wish to investigate the non-surgical treatment methods that we utilise here at Scoliosis SOS.
Based in London, the Scoliosis SOS Clinic specialises in providing effective, exercise-based treatments for scoliosis sufferers who do not wish to undergo surgery. Contact us now to arrange an initial consultation and find out whether our internationally-renowned treatment courses could help you.
Scoliosis: Do I Need Surgery for a 55 Degree Curve?
We're often asked questions regarding the severity of an individual's spinal curve and whether or not this makes them a suitable candidate for ScolioGold treatment. While there is some debate regarding which treatments are best-suited to different cases, many doctors recommend surgical intervention for those with a Cobb angle of 40-50 degrees or more.
Despite this, there is sufficient evidence to suggest that scoliosis sufferers with a 55 degree curve or more can be successfully treated via non-surgical methods, which help to relieve pain, reduce the visibility of the scoliotic curve, and prevent the condition from progressing further. Here at Scoliosis SOS, we have treated countless patients whose angles exceed the proposed threshold for surgery, with consistently impressive results.
While we have treated curves ranging from 12 to 120 degrees, the majority of our patients fall within the range of 20-65 degrees, with many having explored the possibility of surgery already. One of our previous patients, Veronica Gabinet, had a curve of 55 degrees, and had attempted treatment with a Boston brace to no avail. She came across the Scoliosis SOS Clinic while researching non-surgical treatments online; in the end, she decided against undergoing an operation to treat her spinal curve, and decided to enrol on one of our treatment courses instead.
For Veronica, as for many young people who suffer from scoliosis, the risks associated with surgery were a daunting prospect. Veronica took part in activities such as dance, tennis, and other physically-demanding hobbies, and in cases such as these, a spinal operation can be an extremely restrictive and drastic solution, presenting an entirely new set of problems even as it helps with the scoliosis itself.
In an interview we conducted with Veronica after her treatment with us, she said that she would definitely recommend trying non-surgical therapies before surgery. Despite having a curve of 55 degrees, she was able to see a marked improvement in her symptoms, particularly with regards to her posture. You can hear her full story, and find out more about her experience at Scoliosis SOS here:
If you have a 55 degree curve or higher, and are unsure as to whether our treatment would benefit you, please don't hesitate to get in touch. We can arrange a professional consultation which will help you to select the best course of action for your individual case.

British Championships: Duncan Scott breaks own record to win 100m freestyle
By Kheredine Idessane
BBC Scotland at Tollcross
From the section Swimming
http://www.bbc.com/sport/swimming/47984041
Duncan Scott is targeting a World Championships medal this summer after breaking his own British 100m freestyle record in Glasgow.
The 21-year-old Scot won the British title in 47.87 seconds, with University of Stirling team-mate Scott McLay, 19, second with a personal best of 49.05.
"This is becoming quite a good pool for me," said Scott, who won European 200m freestyle gold at Tollcross last year.
"Now it's about trying to do that on the international scene consistently."
Scott, who won six medals at last year's Commonwealth Games, said qualifying for the Worlds in Gwangju, South Korea, was "a weight off my shoulders".
He also has selection chances in the 200m individual medley on Saturday and the 200m freestyle on Sunday.
"It was good to break 48 seconds flat again; that's the second time I've done that so I'm happy with that," added Scott. "You know 47-mid-to-low could medal, so there are more areas to look to improve on but that's a step in the right direction.
"That time is not going to medal at a world championships so there are definitely a couple more steps that need to be taken."
Welsh Commonwealth silver medallist Daniel Jervis dominated the 1500m freestyle to secure a place in Gwangju, as did Max Litchfield, who led from start to finish in the 400m individual medley.
Jervis's time of time of 14:46.51 was a whisker away from David Davies' British record, set at the Athens Olympics in 2004.

Have you ever played a round of golf? If your answer was yes, how many hole-in-one's do you have? I've been playing the game since the age of four and have yet to make one. Even the best players in the world know how difficult it is to make a tiny ball go into a 4 ¼ inches round hole in the ground that is two hundred yards away.
I did get close one time. It was a windier than normal day in Iowa when I hit my first shot on a par three left into the tall weeds. I let my college teammates know I was taking a penalty and replayed the shot. This time the ball was struck perfectly, landed in front of the hole, and hopped in. Due to the penalty, I had to count it as a par and not a hole-in-one.
What if you could change the game a little bit? Instead of hitting only one shot at a time, you could hit thousands simultaneously. Now your odds of hitting a hole-in-one start to look better.
Picking individual stocks is a lot like golf. No matter how long you play, you may never have all the stars line up in your favor. But what if you could change the investing game as well?
This is where index funds enter the picture. Index funds are like hitting a thousand shots at the hole at the same time. You still need to make the initial investment, but the heavy lifting is done for you after that.
Index funds are a basket of stocks made up to follow a predetermined market indice, country, or sector. The Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund (VTSAX) has exposure to the entire U.S. equity market. This is 3,611 individual holdings as of 11/30/2018. Instead of researching every company in hopes of finding a few individual winners, you can receive the returns of the entire market with very little effort.
Instant diversification. As you can see with the Vanguard fund example above, index funds can provide exposure to an entire market. Owning individual stocks lacks diversification, which is known as one of the only free lunches in investing.
Avoid behavioral mistakes. Not that behavioral mistakes don't happen when owning index funds, but individual stocks tend to exacerbate the problem. You may feel more attached to an individual stock than a market as a whole. I see this often when someone has inherited a stock like AT&T, Apple, or Disney from their grandparent.
Reduce risk. In economics class you learn about two types of risk: systematic and unsystematic. The first being market risk, or the uncertainty of an entire market. The latter is considered a specific risk, or the uncertainty of an individual company. Unsystematic risk can be diversified away by investing in multiple companies at the same time, instead of just one.
Save time. When you are trying to beat the market by picking individual stocks, you are competing against the world's best investors and fastest computers. To find a winner you will have to devote a considerable amount of time to research, and pray for good luck.

DULUTH, Georgia - In-form Phil Mickelson tightened his grip on the BellSouth Classic with five consecutive birdies on Saturday to forge 11 strokes clear midway through the third round.
Six ahead overnight at the TPC at Sugarloaf, the defending champion raced to the turn in five-under-par 31, leaving his challengers trailing in his wake.
At 21 under overall, the American left-hander is on track to shatter the tournament record for 54 holes.
Compatriot Larry Nelson holds the mark with a 21-under total of 195 in 1988 when the event was played at Atlanta Country Club.
The PGA Tour record of 24-under 189, achieved three times on par-71 layouts, is also under threat.
Jose Maria Olazabal, playing with Mickelson in the final group, was tied for second at 10 under, having sandwiched birdies at the fourth and sixth around a bogey-five at the sixth.
Level with Spaniard Olazabal were Americans Doug Barron, Zach Johnson and J.J. Henry.
Barron was seven under for the day after 16 holes, Johnson five under after 11 and Henry level after nine.
Of the other big names competing in the final PGA Tour event before next week's US Masters, world number three Retief Goosen was at nine under after 12 holes with Ireland's Padraig Harrington a further two strokes back, after 12.
Mickelson, who won the first of his two BellSouth crowns in 2000, parred the first two holes before easing into overdrive.
The twice major champion picked up his first stroke after hitting his approach to 10 feet at the par-four third. That soon became a two-shot swing when playing partner Henry, alone in second place overnight, bogeyed the hole.
Despite finding the right fairway bunker off the tee at the par-five fourth, Mickelson laid up in two before hitting a pitching wedge to within four feet of the flag for birdie number two.
He then rolled in a 20-foot putt on five, got up and down from the left of the green at the par-five sixth and coolly sank another 20-footer at the seventh to get to 21 under.
Surprisingly, Mickelson collected his first bogey in 37 holes when he three-putted the par-three eighth after his tee shot finished 85 feet short of the hole.
Bidding to become the first repeat BellSouth winner since American Hale Irwin in 1977, Mickelson coaxed in a 15-footer for birdie at the par-four ninth to stretch his lead to 11.

Q: BroadcastReceiver never calls OnReceive on Fragment in ViewPager
I'm writing an application which contains 2 fragments wrapped by a viewpager. I'm trying to get the list of the bluetooth available devices but the listview never changes.
This is the first time I work with fragments. I hope you guys can help me.
Thanks in advance!
Here's the fragment:
public class BluetoothDevicesFragment extends Fragment {
    private ListView mListView;
    private BluetoothListAdapter mAdapter;
    private ArrayList<String> mArray;
    private SwipeRefreshLayout mRefresh;
    private final BroadcastReceiver mReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
        @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
            String action = intent.getAction();
            //Finding devices
            if (BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND.equals(action)) {
                // Get the BluetoothDevice object from the Intent
                BluetoothDevice device = intent.getParcelableExtra(BluetoothDevice.EXTRA_DEVICE);
                // Add the name and address to an array adapter to show in a ListView
                //Snackbar.make(getView(), device.getName(), Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG).setAction("Action", null).show();
                mArray.add(device.getName() + "\n" + device.getAddress());
                mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
            } else if (BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_DISCOVERY_FINISHED.equals(action)) {
                mRefresh.setRefreshing(false);
                getActivity().unregisterReceiver(mReceiver);
            }
        }
    };

    public BluetoothDevicesFragment() {

    }

    public static BluetoothDevicesFragment newInstance() {

        Bundle args = new Bundle();

        BluetoothDevicesFragment fragment = new BluetoothDevicesFragment();
        fragment.setArguments(args);
        return fragment;
    }

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_bluetooth, container, false);
        mListView = (ListView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.listviewB);
        mArray = new ArrayList<>();
        mAdapter = new BluetoothListAdapter(getContext(), R.layout.fragment_bluetooth, mArray);
        mListView.setAdapter(mAdapter);
        mRefresh = (SwipeRefreshLayout) rootView.findViewById(R.id.refresh);
        mRefresh.setOnRefreshListener(new SwipeRefreshLayout.OnRefreshListener() {
            @Override
            public void onRefresh() {
                IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND);
                getActivity().registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter);
                Bluetooth.bluetoothAdapter.cancelDiscovery();
                Bluetooth.bluetoothAdapter.startDiscovery();
            }
        });
        return rootView;
    }
}

A: You have to register BroadcastReceiver to receive events
There are two ways to do this:
Registering BroadcastReceiver in the Manifest File
<receiver
android:name="com.pycitup.pyc.MyReceiver"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true" >
<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="com.pycitup.BroadcastReceiver" />
</intent-filter>

Registering BroadcastReceiver Programatically
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter("packagename.customclass");

MyReceiver myReceiver = new MyReceiver();
registerReceiver(myReceiver, filter);

Add permission in manifest.xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />

Don't forget to check runtime permission for abaove

environmental protection Ministry of Agriculture Mura-Dráva-Danube Biosphere Reserve unesco
Hungary in World's First Five-Member Biosphere Reserve
The world's first five-member biosphere reserve has been established with Hungary's participation, the ministry of agriculture said on Wednesday.
The Mura-Dráva-Danube Biosphere Reserve title has been approved by the UNESCO Man and Biosphere intergovernmental council, the International Coordination Committee, the statement said.
The biosphere reserve links areas in Hungary, Austria, Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia and it is one of the largest of its kind in Europe, the ministry added.
The project has been in preparation for over ten years, with the environmental ministers of the five countries signing a joint declaration in March 2011, during Hungary's European Union presidency, to set up the five-member biosphere reserve.

As Master Rahm was just telling us at DWT about that next Supreme Court pick . . .
Justice John Paul Stevens -- a tough act to follow
"The complication here is that Stevens is the conscience of the court's liberal wing, and space he occupies now is not a space that any nominee simply fills. So growth capacity -- the potential to grow into a Stevens -- will factor in, too."
-- Marc Ambinder, in an Atlantic.com blogpost today,
"On SCOTUS, Obama's Not Looking for a Fight"
by Ken
Well, no wonder Mr. Ambinder is regarded as such a wise political sage! So, the president's not looking for a fight with his next Supreme Court pick, eh? I don't know whether to say "Gosh!" or "Golly!" 'Cause as we all know, looking for fights is what this administration is all about. (For the record, this is sarcastic, but even if you think of all the fights he's managed to find himself in with those of us to his political left, he hasn't really picked fights so much as he and his red-baiting buddy Master Rahm have goaded us into picking the fights.)
Happily, Mr. Ambinder isn't claiming any special knowledge, though when he notes that he, unlike Business Week (which cites "a White House official familiar with the deliberations" as the source for its list of three candidates who it claims are currently the subject of White House focus), hasn't had any names leaked to him, there does seem to be a note of indignation.
Business Week's three names, by the way, are: "U.S. Solicitor General Elena Kagan and federal appellate judges Diane Wood and Merrick Garland."
As it happens, no one has leaked any names to us at DWT either, which is surprising, given our closeness to Master Rahm Emanuel. So we know the same things everyone else knows:
* that, especially since the administration accepted the SCOTUS nomination framework now cemented in place by Republican obstructionists with the Sotomayor nomination, the nominee has to be, or plausibly pretend to be, a by-the-book, just-read-the-law kind of decider, preferably with a much smaller paper trail than Justice Sotomayor's;
* that the Senate Republicans will raise holy hell, whoever the nominee is, and will make a maximum effort of obstruction;
* that while the Court's philosophical balance is most unlikely to change, when it comes to replacing Justice Stevens, well, you're just not going to replace Justice Stevens's legal and moral authority.
JUST A REMINDER: THERE IS NO "LIBERAL BLOC" ON
THE COURT (BECAUSE THERE ARE NO ACTUAL LIBERALS)
Note that I refuse to refer to Justice Stevens's position as leader of a "liberal bloc" on the Court. Can we be serious for a moment, and acknowledge that there are no liberals on the Court? Just because you're not a screaming right-wing loon hell-bent on shredding the Constitution for the greater glory of the super-rich and powerful, that doesn't make you a liberal.
I assume that for the foreseeable future no liberal can even be considered for the High Court on grounds of confirmability. And it would be fairly silly to expect President Obama, who isn't a liberal and seems to have mostly contempt for liberals, to be looking for one.
William Brennan was a liberal. Thurgood Marshall was a liberal. Whereas Steven Breyer is . . . um, has anyone figured out yet what that guy is? And with all due respect to Justices Stevens, Ginsburg, and Sotomayor, and to former Justice Souter, fine justices all, they never claimed to be, and aren't, liberals. In his recent NYT interview, Justice Stevens insisted to Adam Liptak that he's a conservative.
""What really for me marks a conservative judge is one who doesn't decide more than he has to in order to do his own job. Our job is to decide cases and resolve controversies. It's not to write broad rules that may answer society's questions at large." (Liptak doesn't seem to have thought it worth pointing out the pointed jab at the new modus operandi of the Roberts Court, which seems to be to find cases that will enable you to rewrite constitutional law the way you want to and then decide those cases as sweepingly as you have to to achieve the desired result.)
The retirement of David Souter was hard for me, because he had come out of nowheresville to rise so serenely to the challenge of the job. I hope it's not necessary to repeat once again the circumstances of Justice Stevens's appointment, by Jerry Ford, at the recommendation of Attorney General Edward Levi. You have to know it hasn't escaped the attention of the right-wing loonies that Souter's appointment too came at the urging of a stinking Jew, New Hampshire Sen. Warren Rudman. Give the R's credit for learning from their mistakes, though -- you could hardly ask for a scummier succession of thugs than Nino Scalia, Clarence Thomas, John Roberts, and Sammy Alito. That still doesn't make Souter a liberal.
What's interesting is how differently people are interpreting these same nomination "realities." Take the issue of confirmability. It's got that stalwart Democrat, Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter, so spooked, that he confided to Fox Noise his hopeJustice Stevens will stick it out another year, when perhaps the political climate won't be as poisonous. (That seems to me a dangerous assumption, and a confirmation battle in an election year strikes me as carrying risks of its own.) Whereas Ambinder seems to think that, provided the calculations are calculated properly, confirmation is no problem:
Politically, the White House wants to find an unimpeachable nominee who the American people quickly accept. Let Republicans make the noise they do and will -- which may excite their own base but won't really do much more than that -- and get the nominee confirmed quickly, and without and fuss. Kagan, Wood and Garland fit the bill.
Ambinder really earns those big pundit bucks with this divining of the administration's agenda in replacing Justice Stevens:
deally, he's looking for someone who can persuade swinger (uh, swing-ideological justice) Anthony Kennedy to change his mind on a set of issues, someone whose qualifications are beyond approach, who doesn't have a lingering paper trail of outrageous (i.e., conventionally liberal) viewpoints, and yet someone he trusts can subtly steer the court to the left. The complication here is that Stevens is the conscience of the court's liberal wing, and space he occupies now is not a space that any nominee simply fills. So growth capacity -- the potential to grow into a Stevens -- will factor in, too.
I think Justice Sotomayor was an admirable pick, but I don't think any of us kid ourselves that she is going to be, either judicially or personally, a counterweight to the "Let's get ready to rumble" loonies Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, and Alito. And now we have Master Rahm judging what potential nominees are going to grow into?
I assume he hopes they'll all grow into power-worshiping tools like Chief Justice Roberts.
POSTSCRIPT: WHO ASKED SENATOR SPECTER?
I can't resist passing on this wonderful note about our pal Arlen's self-injection into the SCOTUS situation, by Michael McGough on the L.A. Times political blog:
Sen. Arlen Specter has high hopes for Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens
April 5, 2010 | 11:29 am
Years ago, I mentally created a file called "Who Asked Him?" in which I lodged presumptuous comments by public officials and others. I just deposited Sen. Arlen Specter's suggestion that Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens not retire at the end of this term, despite Stevens' own media blitz suggesting that his days, and dissents, are numbered.
Not that we asked, but Specter (D-Pa.) told Fox News that he hopes Stevens won't step down this year because "gridlock in the Senate might well produce a filibuster, which will tie up the Senate with the Supreme Court nominee." He added, apparently in a rejection of the conventional wisdom that his former Republican Party will pick up seats this year: "I think that if a year passes, there is a much better chance we can come to a consensus." To quote Specter's preferred vote in the Clinton impeachment trial, that theory is "not proven."
Cynics would suggest that Specter himself doesn't want to be tied up by a Supreme Court confirmation at a time he is seeking reelection, the first time as a Democrat. Or maybe from the viewpoint of an 80-year-old senator, a 90-year-old Supreme Court Justice is just hitting his prime.

While Specter should know because he contributed to the poison. I won't vote for him should he win the primary. I'd rather have Pat Toomey as the Junior Senator from PA.
At 11:44 AM, KenInNY said...
Whoa, that's a tough call! But I guess it's the one Pennsylvanians are going to face, unless some magic strikes the Sestak campaign, which seems to me to be doing everything except making headway.
Rather have Toomey, eh? Well, it's true that you'll always know where he stands, whereas with our old pal Arlen . . .

Home Ios/Mac Asus ZenFone 8 Release Date, Price, Specs And Feature Rumours
The Asus ZenFone range has for many years now been quietly turning out great devices with innovative features and top-end specs, but somehow they seem to fly under most people's radar. Maybe 2021 will change that with the arrival of the ZenFone 8.
We gather together all the current news and rumours about the latest potential addition to the Asus smartphone line up.
When will the Asus ZenFone 8 be released?
Asus has remained tight-lipped on the prospect of a ZenFone 8 so far, meaning we'll need to look at past releases to gain some insight into when we might expect the new model. Here are the launch dates for the last few models:
Asus ZenFone 5: 6 August 2018
Asus ZenFone 6: 30 May 2019
Asus ZenFone 7: 1 September 2020
Sadly, Asus opted not to release the ZenFone 7 and 7 Pro in either the UK or the USA, so it's unclear whether the ZenFone 8 will follow the same pattern. As the turmoil of 2020 caused all kinds of problems in the supply chain, this could explain the later release dates for the 7 series. Whether Asus will return to the May window or stick with September is unclear, but we wouldn't expect the ZenFone 8 to appear before the summer.
To see what we thought of the last ZenFone to arrive on these shores, read our Asus ZenFone 6 review.
How much will the Asus ZenFone 8 cost?
As with the release date, there has been no official confirmation of a price for the ZenFone 8, mainly as Asus has yet to even certify that the phone exists. Once again then we'll look at the previous models for our clues.
Asus ZenFone 6: £499/€550/$677
Asus ZenFone 7: £569/€634/US$749 (approx)
Asus ZenFone 7 Pro: £725/€807/US$953 (approx)
ALSO READ Some Facebook employees don't believe its attacks on Apple are justified
With the standard models sitting between the £500 and £600 mark (with appropriate amounts in US dollars and Euros), it seems likely that Asus will continue this trend with the ZenFone 8.
What new features will there be in the Asus ZenFone 8?
The previous models have seen Asus introduce flappable camera units, so the main display doesn't have notches or punch holes for the lenses, and we fully expect this to be the case with the ZenFone 8. If the standard and Pro model structure remains in place, then the ZenFone 8 should come with pretty high-end specs, but the newest silicon and larger storage options will be held back for the Pro model, as we saw with the ZenFone 7 and 7 Pro.
The latter also benefitted from the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+ processor, while the standard 7 came with the still very powerful Snapdragon 865. The ZenFone 7 and 7 Pro already introduced 5G capabilities and Bluetooth 5.1, so these will no doubt be features on the new model too.
Both also featured 6.67in 90Hz AMOLED displays, but Asus could follow the pattern of many high-end Android phones and bump this to 120Hz for the ZenFone 8.
There's no confirmed details from Asus about the new model, but we've already seen some videos from India and other sites claiming to know some of the specs the ZenFone 8 will contain.
This video from the Technology Talks YouTube channel shows a device that it claims to be the ZenFone 8, which comes with a four-camera arrangement on the rear (which flips over to become the front facing cameras when required).
ALSO READ New $5 movie sale at Apple discounts 90s hits, action films, more
It also states that the new phone will feature a Snapdragon 875 processor (now in fact known to be called the 888), a 6.67in 120Hz display, 12GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
How much of this is true is questionable at the moment, and the device in the video could be another Android phone dressed to look like the ZenFone 8, but the specs don't seem too far off what we could expect Asus to do.
Another video has the ZenFone 8 with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G processor, and dropping the flip cameras in favour of dual-rear shooters. One thing that's confusing about this is that whereas this would no doubt help with reducing cost, there doesn't appear to be a front facing camera at all, which isn't something we'd consider viable on any modern smartphone.
Concepts aside, it hopefully won't be too long until Asus lets us know what the ZenFone 8 will actually bring to the table. Until then, check back regularly to this article as we'll be updating it when more information comes to light. In the meantime, be sure to also read our guide to the best phones coming in 2021 to see what the ZenFone 8 will need to beat.

Kendal at Granville Welcomes 3 New Managers
Nov. 1, 2019, Granville, Ohio— Kendal at Granville's Executive Director Doug Helman has announced that three new managers recently joined the staff of Kendal at Granville in key positions, including Executive Chef Eric Beier, Director of Sales and Marketing Dan Nase and Life Enrichment Director Gabriella Drago.
Before joining the Kendal at Granville team as Executive Chef, Eric Beier previously served as the Chef Manager for Eurest-Compass-USA in Columbus, Ohio, and before that as Sous Chef for Bon Appetit at Denison University and Sodexo at COSI. Beier's current responsibilities include writing all menus for residents throughout the community, ordering food and supplies for the Kendal at Granville kitchen, scheduling the cook and food preparation staff, and working in collaboration with the catering manager and other dining services personnel.
"I am looking forward to creating new, refreshing menus featuring foods that will satisfy as both nutritious and delicious," Beier said. A member of the Army Reserves from 2001-2006, Bier reached the rank of Corporal. After attending Bowling Green State University for undergraduate studies and completing his Army service, Beier moved to Columbus and is a 2009 graduate of the Columbus Culinary Institute. Married with two children, he enjoys spending his free time with family and watching sports, especially the Cleveland Indians.
Dan Nase brings more than 25 years of sales and marketing management experience to the role of Director of Sales and Marketing for Kendal at Granville, including serving in a similar role for both Friendship Village Dublin and Friendship Village Columbus. Born and raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Nase started his career in the media business. After earning a bachelor's degree in marketing and advertising at Bloomberg University in Pennsylvania, Nase worked for multiple newspaper properties with the Gannett Corporation. He has also worked for two Catholic Archdiocese (Philadelphia and Baltimore) in their marketing and communication departments.
"I was looking for an opportunity to continue my career in senior living at a community that was well run, top in the field, excels in customer service and is resident-centric. Kendal at Granville fits the bill in every way, and I am delighted to be here!" Nase said.
When not working, Nase is an avid sports fan regarding all things Philadelphia and Penn State. He also loves to spend time with his wife Deborah and their two children. Nase and his family have lived in Pickerington for 14 years.
Gabriella Drago is a board-certified Music Therapist and recent graduate of Baldwin Wallace University. Drago has most recently been employed by Harmony Hospice in the Cleveland area as a music therapist for patients in hospice care, using music therapy techniques to increase relaxation, decrease anxiety and improve quality of life. Drago's other areas of experience include working with both children and adults living with visual impairments and developmental disabilities.
Drago grew up in Mentor, Ohio, where she was a soprano soloist for multiple choirs and participated in All State choir in Columbus. She plays popular and modern music on the piano and guitar. Assisted in her position by her service dog, Freesia, Drago will oversee life enrichment programming in all of Kendal at Granville's health services areas.
"I'm enjoying meeting our fantastic residents and charismatic staff," Drago said. "I'm looking forward to learning about the unique interests of residents so that we can provide enriching experiences tailored to each individual."
"Kendal is grateful to welcome all three of these talented leaders in service to our community and Licking County's older adults," said Beth Waite, Kendal at Granville's Human Resources Director.

Demonstrators across the country demand: "No New Korean War!"

San Francisco Demands- No New Korean War!
Activists mobilized from coast to coast for emergency demonstrations in response to the the latest escalation of hostilities in the Korean Peninsula—the result of a policy of deliberate provocation by the United States and South Korea over the past several months. Today, the United States is carrying out new war games that threaten both North Korea and China, and is provoking the next stage of the crisis. The ANSWER Coalition will continue to send out updates and plan future actions.
Below are reports of some of the actions that have taken place:
Protesters gathered on Nov. 29 at the intersection of Powell and Market Streets in downtown San Francisco to take a stand against the U.S. provocation and in solidarity with the Korean peoples. Participants marched in a picket line chanting: "No New Korean War! U.S. Out!"
Speakers included Christine Ahn of the National Campaign to End the Korean War, Richard Becker of the ANSWER Coalition (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism), Steph Lee of HOBAK (Hella Organized Bay Area Koreans), Dr. Henry Clark of the West County Toxins Coalition, Gloria La Riva of the Party for Socialism and Liberation and David Ewing of U.S.-China People's Friendship Association. A solidarity statement from Veterans for Peace was read by ANSWER activist Bill Hackwell. Jamaesori ("Sister Sound"), a group of women and transgender people of Korean descent who use traditional Korean drumming to support social justice movements, performed in the opening and closing of the rally. Frank Lara of the ANSWER Coalition emceed the event.
The message was clear: We must stand in solidarity with the Korean people in their demands for a peace treaty, and fight against U.S. provocations and imperialism.
A very diverse group of people from throughout the DC Metro area, including members of BonghaWashington: Koreans for Peace and the ANSWER Coalition, gathered in front of the White House on Nov. 27 to oppose a new Korean war.
The event received considerable media coverage, including from CNN. Many tourists visiting the White House expressed their support, and some joined in the demonstration.

Protesters gathered on Nov. 27 at the gates of University of New Mexico in Albuquerque to protest U.S. and South Korean war moves against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). Many passers-by stopped to sign the ANSWER statement calling for no new Korean war. Many shoppers driving by honked and waved in solidarity, as protesters chanted "We told you once, we said before, don't provoke a Korean war" and "Defend the rights of sovereign nations, stop all U.S. provocations."
A militant rally following the picket line was chaired by ANSWER organizer Chris Debonis who called for solidarity with the people of Korea: "We say no to another U.S. war of aggression against Korea. We need jobs, schools and infrastructure—not war and occupation."
Amid the hustle and bustle of Times Square, protesters came out on the evening of Nov. 29 for an Emergency Demonstration against U.S.-South Korean war games and to demand an immediate peace treaty.
After an hour of chanting, picketing and distributing literature, there was a brief program that included the ANSWER Coalition, the Alliance for a Just and Lasting Peace in the Philippines, the Pakistani Freedom Forum-USA, the Iranian American Friendship Committee and the International Action Center.
Speakers explained the vast suffering produced by the first Korean war, how Korea was divided by foreign powers, and called on the Obama administration to stop the threats against North Korea.
Demonstrators rallied on Nov. 29 at the busiest corner of Koreatown in Los Angeles in an emergency response protest to oppose escalated U.S. threats targeting Korea.
Initiated by the ANSWER Coalition, a broad range of Korean-American community leaders and anti-war organizations stood united against the latest U.S. intimidation tactics. Mike Prysner, co-founder of the veteran and active-duty service member organization March Forward!, and Danny Park of Korean Americans for Peace led chants, including "No more war 'games,' Washington is to blame!" and "Hands off Korea, we want peace!"
Daniel Kim of Korean Americans for Peace said, "The threat of a new war is very real. Our community is organizing to stand up and say that peace is our goal, reunification is our goal."
Additional speakers included Ian Thompson of the ANSWER Coalition, Paula Solomon of the Coalition in Solidarity with Cuba, Arturo Garcia of Alliance for Just and Lasting Peace in the Philippines and representatives of the Korean Institute, March Forward!, Bus Riders Union, BAYAN and IAC. The Party for Socialism and Liberation delivered a solidarity statement in Spanish, directed at the many Spanish-speaking workers in the area.

In the previous article in this series on Project Control, we saw that a useful analogy can be made with problems of diagnosis encountered by a medical doctor. In this case, the project manager is the doctor, the project is the patient and the symptom may be 'slow progress'.
For example, when a doctor faces a patient with a temperature, he or she has certain hypotheses in mind as to what could be causing this. There might be several typical causes and a doctor would know this from training and experience. In the same way, we as project managers, faced with a report of 50% progress on a task that has consumed 75% of the allotted duration and 80% of allotted resource hours, would use our background and experience in order to understand the cause.
This is not as difficult as it sounds. For while there could be thousands of specific reasons why the task is behaving the way it is, it can be shown that there are only four types of reasons for this behaviour. This provides a very good starting point in trying to understand the problem before we can fix it.
This one is easy and obvious. In general it is possible that a late start to the task has contributed to the poor progress shown thus far. It is also possible that the problem is not even at this task. Some previous task, perhaps even in some other project may have been delayed, causing our team to delay their start on our task. This is worth knowing.
This type of explanation for poor progress is wide and varied. We are thinking here about a drop in the expected rate of production, regardless of what it is this task is producing on its way to completing its deliverable.
It may be square meters of wall space painted, chapters written in a major report. The team doing the work have either not quite sufficient skill, have encountered unexpected resistance to the work (heavier materials, more complex research matter), or perhaps have found conditions to be unexpectedly difficult.
The word 'unexpected' here reveals why we package these productivity or efficiency problems under the heading of 'estimating'. For we, the project manager, are ultimately responsible for anticipating these problems. This does not mean we are being clever in hindsight. Estimating is difficult and we are not beating ourselves up over this. Prediction is difficult. This is the future we were talking about. Nonetheless, there is no point in evading the issue. We simply wish to understand the nature of the problem, document it, revise our estimate, and have this become part of our corporate memory so that we shall do better in future.
This seeks to link the drop in expected progress to a drop in expected resource numbers actually working on the job. We may have lost some of the team due either to illness, the need to attend to higher priority tasks or similar reasons.
The final possible explanation for the apparent slow progress might be that it is just that - apparent only. For it may be that the way in which progress is being measured does not necessarily reflect the way the work is going.
The measure we are using may be one that does not move at a constant rate with time. For example, the team may take a little time to settle down, conquer a learning curve, or perhaps spend the first few days on the task doing important, necessary preparatory work that does not show up in the 'score'. Perhaps they spent the first day on a writing job doing important research but wrote nothing.
If the measure of progress used was number of sections written or something similar, we can see that this is not an adequate measure although it may be the best one available. In short, there may not be a problem. If the team thinks it can finish the task in the allotted time, we can put down the apparent progress degradation to the difficulty in measuring.
Therefore, as a first step, we need to establish which of the SEAM explanations best supply a cause for the specific task we are examining (there could be more than one cause of course). This is done by means of further examination and well aimed questioning. Armed with this guide, we can investigate the specifics of the matter in a more focused manner, identify the appropriate treatment, conscious of the likely associated side effects. Just like our doctor friend.
These are issues which will occupy the next articles in this series.
