Tesla Employee Arrested in Shooting Death of Co-Worker at Fremont Factory: Police
By NBC Bay Area staff and Marianne Favro	• Published December 14, 2021 • Updated on December 15, 2021 at 5:52 am
A Tesla employee has been arrested in connection to the shooting death of a co-worker at the company's Fremont factory, police said Tuesday.
The incident was initially reported Monday as a suspicious death, but was later ruled a homicide by police investigators. The shooting was reported at 3:26 p.m. when firefighters responded to the factory for a report of a person down in the parking lot.
The person was pronounced dead after firefighters attempted to provide medical aid, police said, adding several expended .223 rifle casings were recovered nearby.
The death of a man outside a Tesla factory in Fremont has been ruled a homicide, police said Monday.
Homicide detectives investigating the incident discovered the suspect and victim had been arguing earlier in the day, and that the suspect had suddenly walked off the job.
The victim had just finished a shift at the Tesla factory before he was shot in the parking lot.
The suspect has been identified by police as 29-year-old Anthony Solima of Milpitas. Solima was booked into Santa Rita Jail in Dublin after he was arrested on a homicide warrant and interviewed by detectives.

Police said when Solima surrendered to officers, a loaded .223 caliber, short-barrel rifle was found in his vehicle, along with an expended casing.
The victim's identity is waiting to be confirmed by the Alameda County Coroner's Office, police said.

They purchased the site due to the forthcoming Crossrail station. As Crossrail won't be operational until 2018 it wouldn't be a bit shock to see the developers land bank it for a few years before staring construction. Talking of Crossrail, work between Abbey Wood and Plumstead stations has come along quite a bit. A large swath of land next to the sidings in Plumstead has been cleared and levelled, and a worksite established of around a dozen, maybe more, portakabins. There's quite a few workers and equipment on site. The worksite is larger than I expected at this stage, as I thought the South Eastern spur would be one of the last to be worked on. Looking on the Crossrail site and googling has not produced many answers as to the exact nature of the work. I assume the work is to divert utilities before tunnelling commences in a couple of years.
It's not one of the greatest schemes among the many around those parts. The two towers are uninspiring things. Slabs of glass for the towers, and a bit of a mess of various colours and materials on the low rise block. CABE were not too keen on the scheme in 2008.
Also on the railways we have Southeastern's painters out in force again. After winning a franchise extension to 2014 they have seemingly given up on running a service on the Greenwich line, but nevermind that as instead they have commisioned painters to stick their ugly wishy washy blue and purple corporate colour scheme on every inch of their stations, whether it's needed or not. Paint is usually the favoured choice it seems of franchise holders 'investment' in the railway. Cheaper than actually retaining, or even hiring, staff to maintain your trains so they don't fall apart and run at their proper lengths I suppose.
Ah, and I almost got through a post without slagging them off.
Sorry, but what does the above leaflet has to do with Plumstead portal works?

"In The Clansman, Reconstruction was an attempt by Augustus Stoneman, a thinly veiled reference to Thaddeus Stevens, to ensure that the Republican Party would stay in power by securing the southern black vote. His hatred for President Johnson stems from Johnson's refusal to disenfranchise whites. Stoneman's anger towards former slave holders is intensified after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, where he vows revenge on the South. His programs strip away the property owned by whites, in turn giving them to former slaves. Men claiming to represent the government confiscate the material wealth of the South, destroying plantation owning families. Finally, the former slaves are taught that they are superior to their former owners and should rise up against them. These injustices are the impetuses for the creation of the Klan."--Wikipedia.

Court upholds judgement quashing land acquisition in UP
May 14, A full bench of the Allahabad High Court today upheld its judgement which had quashed land acquisition in some villages of Gautam Buddh Nagar district in Uttar Pradesh for development of Noida, Greater Noida and Noida Extension and ordered greater compensation for landowners. The Bench comprising Justice Ashok Bhushan, Justice S U Khan and Justice V K Shukla passed the order while turning down review petitions of Noida Authority and Greater Noida Authority and a number of farmers who were dissatisfied with the judgement delivered by a 3-judge bench on 21.10.2011. The court was of the view that the relief sought by the petitioners could not be provided through a review petition though they were free to file an appeal in the Supreme Court challenging the High Court order. The farmers had submitted that they wanted their land back instead of enhanced compensation as directed by the court and hence prayed that notifications whereby their land was acquired be set aside as was done in the case of those villages where possession of land was not effected and hence no development had taken place subsequent to the acquisition.

Home/Politics/The USA is a Kleptocracy
The USA is a Kleptocracy
Todd Smekens Follow on Twitter Send an email October 20, 2021Last Updated: October 20, 2021
Suppose you've read the latest Forbes edition. In that case, you'll see that the billionaires got richer over the past year in our Kleptocracy, which would seem counter-intuitive seeing that we've had a global pandemic, supply chain bottlenecks, economic disruptions, job market anomalies, and over three-quarters of a million deaths in the USA alone due to pandemic. Everybody is making sacrifices across the board, except for the wealthiest Americans. How is that possible?
What's the old saying, "The bigger they are, the harder they fall." Hmm, it doesn't seem to apply in the USA. I wonder why that is?
According to Forbes, the list of billionaires even grew by over 130 individuals. We see strikes all across the globe with container ships floating in our oceans because supplies aren't meeting fundamental demands and continued deaths. In Africa, less than 5% of the population got the Covid vaccine. How do we justify the disparity between the rich and poor?
According to an analysis of Forbes data about US billionaires by Americans for Tax Fairness (ATF) and the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) Program on Inequality, the wealth of the richest people in the country increased from "just short of $3 trillion at the start of the COVID crisis on March 18, 2020, to over $5 trillion on October 15 of this year," and this wealth is "two-thirds more than the $3 trillion in wealth held by the bottom 50 percent of U.S. households estimated by the Federal Reserve Board."
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2021/10/20/bill-o20.html
The Definition of a Kleptocracy
If you read any articles about the leaked Panama Papers or Pandora Papers, you'll learn how the wealthy conceal their money in overseas accounts. We've even learned that the lawyers and accountants used by the global elite use many states in the USA that've set themselves up as tax havens for the wealthy.
According to Wikipedia:
Kleptocracies are generally associated with dictatorships, oligarchies, military juntas, or other forms of autocratic and nepotist governments in which external oversight is impossible or does not exist. This lack of oversight can be caused or exacerbated by the ability of the kleptocratic officials to control both the supply of public funds and the means of disbursal for those funds.
Kleptocratic rulers often treat their country's treasury as a source of personal wealth, spending funds on luxury goods and extravagances as they see fit. Many kleptocratic rulers secretly transfer public funds into hidden personal numbered bank accounts in foreign countries to provide for themselves if removed from power.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleptocracy
Well, the US is an oligarchy that controls the political class through financial contributions. With the passing of Citizens United by SCOTUS, this is no longer disputable. Watching the cowardness of Senator Joe Manchin get taken down by his fellow Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders tells you the problems oligarchy creates not just for the people but the planet and ALL its people. Africa puts out the most negligible CO2 emissions but reaps the negative consequences of the wealthy nations who emit the most.
Economists and sociologists are asking questions they should have been asking decades ago. Instead, those following the Wall Street Journal for "market information" have been given the pro-capitalism propaganda you'd expect. Economists and workforce development people want to know why workers are quitting their jobs. They want to know why workers won't return to work and fill all the open positions.
Why don't all these academics ask where the money is going or why the stock market is setting record highs while shoppers find empty shelves at the stores and cargo ships are drifting around the ports waiting to be unloaded. The money counters are saying we spent $21 trillion on war and surveillance the past twenty years. They've told us we spent $2.3 trillion in Afghanistan alone, but the Afghan people are in worse shape today than they were 20 years ago. The United Nations is begging for money and food for the Afghani's. So, where did the money go?
The Treasury or Federal Reserve
Since 2008, the Federal Reserve has been actively printing money and electronically sending it into the banking system to salvage what the Banksters destroyed with their toxic global assets. But, unfortunately, they were gambling with depositors' money, and their bets blew up. Luckily for them, Barack Obama was willing to make a deal and turned over the Treasury and the Fed to the same bankers who ran the global financial system into the ground. How cozy!
If you've only read my last article and this one, you will start to get a funny feeling in your stomach that something is amiss. Americans believe that our government is corrupt and the Fed is part of the government, even though you won't find it when we set up our government. The concept of a central bank was known, but the Founder's wanted nothing to do with the "money changers."
I'll delve into this more deeply next week, but while Forbes applauds the increasing number of billionaires and the growth of wealth overall, there is no mention of where their wealth was derived.As I mentioned above, you would think that the Oligarchs would have experienced the most pain and suffered the most losses with the economy shutting down. They didn't. A couple of nonprofits who analyzed the billionaire's newfound wealth also didn't ask, but the journalists at the Worldwide Socialist Website (WWSW) caught it, writing:
The ATF and IPS analysis fails to mention that the grotesque increase in the number and wealth of America's billionaire capitalist elite over the past 19 months has been fueled by a combination of an increase in the exploitation of the working class during the public health crisis and the unprecedented purchase of $7 trillion in financial assets by the Federal Reserve Bank as part of the US government's pandemic stimulus response.
Is this what Republicans mean by "trickle-down economics?" Thanks to the massive propaganda campaigns by our Mainstream Media owned by Oligarchs, the working class blamed the Democrats in office for enriching the unemployed, which hurt the local and national economy. It worked to perfection. It was an incredible smokescreen to prevent workers from seeing who was taking trillions from the Treasury via our Federal Reserve. Poof!
First by Donald Trump, and then by Joe Biden. Do you still think it's a war between Republicans and Democrats?

Create Powerful Stories From Your Own Life
March 1, 2019 by sam_admin1 No comment(s) Uncategorised
A couple of years ago, I gave a series of one-day memoir writing workshops, which gave people a chance to write about their lives. The workshops were a success, so I decided to revive them.
I was delighted to discover that interest in memoir writing was still as strong as ever, and the workshop soon filled up. On a Sunday morning, ten women gathered in a beautiful, sunny room to begin unlocking their memories and turning those memories into stories.
This writing workshop aimed to show the participants that their daily lives contained all the material they needed for stories. It would also show them that they only needed to record their lives with one small story at a time, event by event. This would take away that sense of drowning in story that often paralyses people and stops them from writing.
We began with the building blocks of story, which I've discussed in previous blog posts. After warm-ups, we did one exercise to cover each of the three building blocks: plot, character and setting. For plot, the participants recorded a small but significant injustice that happened to them when they were young. Everyone has a story like this – a time when they were promised a prize that wasn't delivered, or when they were left out of a family occasion. Small incidents that sear themselves into your memory. Recording them makes for vivid stories.
Then we moved to character, and the participants did a character sketch, a sort of portrait in words of someone significant in their lives. They wrote CV type details like their name, age and address, described their appearance, and gave more personal details, like their hobbies, jobs, and family circumstances. The most important part of the sketch was the character's secret past, a detail about them that was unusual or wasn't known to the general public. This detail often forms the basis for rich stories.
Finally, we discussed setting, the time and the place where a story happens, and the characters wrote about rooms in their houses that meant a lot to them. I asked them to write about their bedrooms, as people often have a strong relationship with their bedroom, but they could write about any room that they were attached to. They wrote about what the room looked like, sounded like and smelled like, and most importantly, how it made them feel.
Journey Through the Senses
After lunch, it was time for a journey through the senses. With memories of good food still in their minds, the participants captured the taste of oranges, which can be a challenging fruit, and recorded a memory of a meal which was either horrible or delicious.
Oranges work all of a writer's senses.
Then they told the life stories of unusual objects. I gave each of them an object from my collection of weird treasures, and they imagined where it came from, what adventures it had had and how it came to be here. This exercise was the hit of the day, producing vivid stories packed with event and emotion.
Finally, we travelled through soundscapes, recording the sounds we loved and despised, and listening to a piece of music which produced mixed reactions. The participants were asked to pick five words that came to mind when they heard the music. I deliberately pick pieces of music that aren't easy on the ear, based on the fact that uncomfortable sensations produce writing that is just as eloquent as that produced by beautiful sensations.
If you feel you'd like to record your own memories through story and you'd like to be included in an upcoming memoir workshop, send me an email on derbhile@writewordseditorial.ie and I'll add you to my newsletter mailing list.

Despite a recall of its flagship Galaxy Note 7 smartphone, Samsung Electronics said Friday its earnings would grow in the third quarter.
The South Korean company said its operating profit would reach 7.8 trillion won, about $7 billion, compared to 7.4 trillion won in the same period last year. However, it said sales would fall to 49 trillion won, or $44 billion. That's down 5% from a year earlier.
The earnings figures were slightly higher than forecast by analysts.
Samsung made the announcement in an earnings preview released ahead of its full corporate results due later this month.
The world's largest smartphone maker recalled 2.5 million units of the Galaxy Note 7 after reports that its batteries were catching fire.

We have discussed networking partnerships and how to treat these partners in our lives. Where do we find these networking partners who mean so much to our mutual success? How do these networking partners first appear in our lives from nowhere and from everywhere?
Networking partners are no different. You will find your networking partners in both your personal and your business lives. Don't even try to separate them. You will not be able to do so, and the best networking partners will not want you to be able to do so. The best ones will be proud to be part of your life, totally and completely.
A partner of mine taught me that anytime people were somewhere then I should also be in that room. Every gathering of any type is a networking opportunity. Each and every time that you go anywhere, look for opportunities to meet someone new. Every time that I attend an event or meet someone for a coffee chat, I learn something new.
Where do you find your networking partners? What starts the conversations that result in new networking partnerships? Let me have your comments, or call me at 360-314-8691, or email me at Jim@SOC4Now.com. Maybe we have some of the same ideas, but maybe we have new ideas that can help each other. Let us practice Gratitude Marketing.

Autograph Hunting
Over the last few months, I have been privileged enough to have been allowed to attend some pretty amazing gaming events as part of the RetroCollect team. My duties at these events have mainly been to help man the stand, speak to gamers about the site and generally just have fun whilst encouraging people to come and play some games and compete in challenges. Naturally, there's also been a lot of wandering around these events, meeting people who I speak to on Twitter and also the purchasing of lots of cool games and gaming hardware. The most recent event I attended was the massive Play Expo at Manchester's Event City.
I attended last year's event as a member of the public and it was at that event that I first met the creator of Tempest 2000 and TxK (amongst others), Jeff Minter. He was in attendance again at this year's event and I managed to speak to him before the doors opened to the public. He's a really nice guy and has a lot of time for fans of his games - I even got to have a quick go on the Occulus Rift version of TxK and had the cool as hell 'debug' mode demonstrated to me first hand. The debug mode allows players to pause the action and then wander around within the game world, while the Occulus lets you gawp at the monsters crawling up the web in full 3D. It's very impressive. Naturally, expecting Mr Minter to be at Play, I came fully prepared - I had my copy of Tempest 2000 with me and asked him to sign it...which he did. I also scored a copy of Llamasoft's lesser spotted original Amiga light synth, Trip-A-Tron on floppy disk. I don't own an Amiga of any flavour (yet), but it was a nice little extra and even cooler that I got it off the man who actually created it.
Earlier in the year, I attended Revival 2014 at Wolverhampton Racecourse. Unlike Play Expo, Revival is purely a retrogaming event and was one of the best exhibitions I've yet attended. Pretty much every console you could care to think of was either available to be played on, available to buy or at the very least, on display. It was at Revival that I finally managed to meet Kieren 'Laird' Hawken in person. Kieren is very probably the most knowledgeable Jaguar collector I know of - indeed it was his article on the Jaguar that was published in Retro Gamer Magazine and he was a guest on the RetroCollect podcast we did on the Jag. I must say that while I obviously love the Jag and lament at the missed opportunity it represents, Kieren's fondness for the system goes far beyond my own. It was cool to finally meet the guy and also play some of his rarer Jaguar games; Kieren had a little display and had his Jaguar Pro Controller as well as Rayman and Sky Hammer carts available for the public to sample. I'd never played either of these titles prior to attending Revival and I was pretty stunned by the quality of Rayman's colourful cartoony visuals and outstanding animation - it certainly looks better than the PlayStation version I own.
The real show-stopper however, was Sky Hammer. I'd never seen the game in motion before and actually playing it was a real eye-opener: this game looks incredible. Furthermore, the fluidity of the game engine is unrivalled on the system and really proves just how good Jag games can look if programmed properly. For those who don't know anything about Sky Hammer, it was a late release and plays a lot like Descent or Forsaken in that you have full 360 degree movement in a futuristic cityscape and must fly around between the towering, neon-lit buildings shooting enemies and completing various mission parameters. I remember reading a review of Sky Hammer in a copy of Games Master Magazine way back when, and the story of it's eventual release is an interesting one. It is worth seeking out if you can afford it, although it is quite highly-priced so it may be one for my wish list.
Worms was also on display
Revival was a really great event and the highlight for me was meeting one of my all-time gaming heroes, John Romero. I absolutely love the Doom series and own pretty much every version of the game for consoles, as well as the other id Software titles that came either before or after; so meeting the man responsible was an incredible experience. It was even more incredible because he was such a genuinely nice man. I got to meet and chat with Mr Romero before the event was actually open to the public and he told me a few cool stories about the development of 32X Doom. One thing I'm kicking myself for not asking was the truth about Jaguar Quake and whether it was ever on the cards. That would have put the whole thing to bed there and then. Alas, I totally forgot to enquire. It wasn't all bad though - he posed for a photo and also signed my copy of Doom for the Jag. Once the doors opened and the public streamed into the event, Romero was absolutely mobbed by fans and he just stood there posing for photos, signing memorabilia and just generally chatting with people. He was a really cool guy and it was an honour to have finally met him.
Tempest signed by Minter, Doom by Romero.
So, two amazing events done and dusted and some really cool people from the history and present of the Jaguar met in person. Can't really complain!

Meet The 15 Hottest Women In The World, Your Victoria's Secret Angels
Nov 4, 2015 @ 10:00 am By Maria Pasquini
We've said it before, but it bears repeating: the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is going to be epic. Even though Ellie Goulding is no Rihanna, now that Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner have been tapped to walk the show, it seems like this upcoming panty parade is all the Internet can talk about.
Even though we won't be able to see all our favorite Victoria's Secret Angels (and friends) until the show airs on December 9th, we can tide ourselves off by feasting on the sexiest pictures our angelic beauties have ever taken for the brand.
This year, Victoria's Secret lost two of their most famous angels, Karlie Kloss and Doutzen Kroes, and so to make up for their loss, they added 10 new angels to their roster.
27-year-old Russian model Kate Grigorieva, who mostly models their more basic apparel:
19-year-old Taylor Hill, who is one of Taylor Swift's many, many Victoria's Secret model friends:
Elsa Hosk, the model who famously hit Ariana Grande in the face during last year's fashion show:
21-year-old Polish model Jac Monika Jagaciak, whose body is out of control:
24-year-old Portuguese model Sara Sampaio, who may be the sexiest out of all the new Angels:
Romee Strijd, a fresh faced 20-year-old who doesn't have a verified IG account just yet:
24-year-old California girl Jasmine Tookes:
Another one of Taylor Swift's besties, 26-year-old Martha Hunt:
Brazilian born Lais Ribeiro, whose boobs deserve a national holiday:
And last but not least, Stella Maxwell, the rumored paramore of Miley Cyrus:
Joining them is veteran Pink spokesmodel Rachel Hilbert:
One of our favorite supermodels, Gigi Hadid, who did a very cheeky campaign with Hilbert in the past:
And of course they're joined by veteran angels like Behati Prinsloo:
The unparalleled beauty Adriana Lima:
The 27-year-old South African hottie, Candice Swanepoel:
One of the hottest Victoria's Secret Angels of all time, Alessandra Ambrosio:
And the woman who has the honor of wearing this year's Fantasy Bra, Lily Aldridge:

How To Stay Connected Virtually With Friends & Family
Don't let distance keep you from having fun with your friends and loved ones!
Just because you may be spending more time apart doesn't mean you still can't spend time together. Now more than ever, technology makes it easier for us to stay in touch with our friends and family even if they live on the other side of the globe. You may have tried video calls but like anything, they can get stale. That's why we came up with some online interactive games you can play with your friends and family even while you're apart!
Unlike Facetime and many other apps, the app Houseparty allows you to video call up to seven friends at once. On top of that, Houseparty also has various games that you can play too such as Ellen's HeadsUp!, Trivia, and Chips and Guac!
Play this classic game from anywhere and with anyone! Pictionary now offers an online Random Word Generator. All you need is paper, something to draw with, and a friend! Play this over a Zoom, Facetime, or Houseparty and have just as much fun as if you were playing in person.
Just like Pictionary, you don't need a deck of UNO cards to enjoy this classic card game. With UNO Online, you can still play the popular card game whenever and wherever you want!
Play Mario Kart with no gaming console required! All you have to do is download the app to your phone and you can invite up to 7 friends to play. What go-to character are you going to pick, Peach or Mario?
One of the most popular board games can now be played on your smartphone. You can roll the dice, pick up cards, and place properties all virtually using the Monopoly app!
WORD WITH FRIENDS
Challenge your friends and see who can come up with the best words while playing Words with Friends! The Word with Friends game is similar to Scrabble where players take turns finding crossword-style words to fit the puzzle. The best part? You can play with up to 20 people in one game!
A favorite among so many kids, Minecraft allows players to explore and build. Minecraft is less of a competitive board game and more of a "sandbox" game that allows you to roam freely as you wish and promotes problem solving and learning. Up to eight players can play together, making it great for children and their friends. Adults will enjoy it too! You can find Minecraft on Xbox One, PC, Switch, PS4, and mobile for $20, or for free on Xbox Game Pass.
What game are you going to start playing? Invite your friends, grab some snacks, and don't forget your purple tea!
Follow us on social media to learn more about ways to live a happier and healthier life!


Monsieur Periné is one of the leading bands in Colombia's thriving new music scene. The group won a Latin GRAMMY award for "Best New Artist" in 2015, and their latest album Caja de Musica was produced by Eduardo Cabra, aka Visitante from the groundbreaking Puerto Rican group Calle 13. The album features vocal guests like Ruben Albarran from Mexican rock legends Cafe Tacuba and Dominican star Vicente Garcia. Rooted in gypsy jazz music and celebrating Django Reinhardt, Monsieur Periné's fresh style adds a variety of Latin elements to the mix. While incorporating genres like cumbia, son, bolero, tango and samba, the band performs traditional South American instruments like the charango, bandoneon and Latin percussion. Monsieur Periné's airy yet virtuosic instrumental foundation connects 1930s Paris with the youthful spirit of modern Bogota. It is the perfect backdrop to showcase Catalina Garcia's sugar-sweet, sunshiny vocals at the very center of their signature "swing a la Colombiana" style. With the help of the illustrator Jose Arboleda and their own fashion designer, the band has created a world of their own, that comes to life in their music, their artwork and of course their performances.


IS YOUR TAX PROFESSIONAL SECURING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMAION?
The IRS issued a newswire (IR-2016-119) on September 2, 2016 warning practitioners of the latest way that the bad guys are scamming the IRS out of money that does not belong to them. Actually, it belongs to us, so they are stealing for all of us.
Personal tax returns (form 1040) for which an extension was filed, are due by October 15th. Now is the time that the scammers are back. The newest warning details that unscrupulous individuals, with more brains than sense, are hacking remotely into tax practitioner's computers to file false tax returns. The bad guys are using the tax practitioner's software and directing refunds to their own dummy bank accounts. The tax practitioner only knows he has been hacked by the e-file acknowledgements they receive after the fact, when it is too late and there is no way to un-file.
My question is this; does your tax preparer have enough security on their system to prevent this type of action? I believe we do, we take specific measures to ensure our client's personal information is secure. We change passwords regularly and create complex passwords to deter hacking. However, do these pop up tax preparation companies put as much thought and effort into their security as we do? I would hope so, but I doubt it. Most don't even adhere to the basic principle of circular 230 which applies to all tax practitioners.
Do your research. Ask about their security measures. Also consider, does your tax preparer charge for the services they provide? (I would think so if they want to make any money) If so, do they sign the return as the preparer? (They must according to the IRS). Do they use a PTIN "Preparer tax identification number"? (Also a requirement of the IRS) If the answer to these is no, run away as fast as you can, any tax professional worth having will adhere to the basic rules above, and the other rules in circular 230.
The writers of this blog (whoever they may be) would like to take this opportunity to disclaim any responsibility for it. While we (the writers) take every precaution to make sure the information conveyed is accurate, we are as human as the next person and thus, subject to flaws. Also, the views expressed are not necessarily the views of Layton Layton & Tobler LLP or any other person in the firm except for maybe the writer.


Whether you are new or experienced in your business analysis role, we recommend you start with one of these Essential Skills courses. These courses have been designed to cover all the basics as well as formalise skills and practise new learning through real-world exercises and case-studies.
Get in-depth in specific business analysis skills in your area of specialisation or target a specific area of improvement.
If you are performing Business Analysis tasks in a large scale Agile environment, IRM Training offers Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®) endorsed courses in partnership with Scaled Agile Inc. The following courses are especially relevant for Agile Business Analysts.
First established in 1989, IRM Training is one of the most experienced providers of Business Analyst courses. With some of the most knowledgeable trainers in Australia, we provide plenty of practical experience which we are able to pass on through our courses.
IRM Training offers 7 Business Analyst courses that conform to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK®) version 3 and are endorsed by the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA®). Our courses develop skills such as modelling, diagramming, interview techniques, presentations, workshop facilitation and data analysis.
As one of the founding members of the IIBA®'s Endorsed Education Provider (EEP™) program, IRM Training was also a contributor to the early development of the BABOK®. Therefore, we helped to shape standardisation of business analysis practises world-wide.
IRM Training provides a Certificate of Completion (CoC) to all attendees who have completed a course. Therefore, those looking to get certified by the IIBA® can supply this CoC as proof of having acquired the required Professional Development Hours. This will allow you to sit on the IIBA® exam.
According to Australian Government Department of Jobs and Small Business, there are 26,100 Business Analysts in Australia with 91.6% working full time. Therefore, the skill level required for a business analyst is degree or higher, with a moderate future growth rate for positions.
What is the class size of your training courses?
Courses by IRM are limited to 12 places to ensure maximum instructor to attendee interaction. Then attendees are often split into groups to complete exercises and hold mock interviews which helps business analysts learn from others in their team. Also, our instructors will always be happy to answer any specific questions that the workshop timing allows for.
Just about anywhere! Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and Brisbane are the main centres for our public courses. We'll run in-house courses anywhere in Australia, and overseas.
All of our courses are workshops. This means that much of the time (typically around 50% but it can be more) is spent on practical work. Of this, some is individual work but most of it is done in small teams. These courses are designed to maximise the learning curve, and this is usually achieved by a mix of activities – quizzes, demonstrations, examples, discussion, simulations, teamwork.

Ma's push for trade pact opposed: poll
THINK TANK SURVEY: The Taiwan Brain Trust said its latest poll found 60.5 percent of respondents see themselves as Taiwanese — the highest level in the past five surveys
By Chris Wang / Staff reporter
A public opinion poll has found that a majority of respondents disapprove of President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) pushing the cross-strait service trade agreement through the legislature and do not understand his free economic pilot zones project.
The latest poll conducted by the pro-independence Taiwan Brain Trust found that 60.2 percent of respondents did not support Ma telling the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) caucus to push for the passage of the controversial trade pact in the extra legislative session that begins tomorrow, the think tank said yesterday.
Ma had promised during the Sunflower movement protests that the pact would not be screened before a monitoring mechanism for cross-strait negotiations and agreements is established.

Most people appeared to have been skeptical about the free economic pilot zones project, which aims to serve as a model for business liberalization, with 85 percent of respondents saying that they did not understand the project well and 91.5 percent urging the government to clearly explain it to the public, think tank chairman Wu Rong-i (吳榮義) said.
The president's most recent approval rating was 21.6 percent and his disapproval rating was 66.7 percent, while the KMT's disapproval rating was 63.6 percent and 35.4 percent of respondents said the party was their least favorite political party, Wu said.
Meanwhile, more than half of those polled (53.1 percent) said the Sunflower movement has had a positive impact on Taiwan's future democratic development, which was interesting, given that Ma and Premier Jiang Yi-huah (江宜樺) have said the protesters' behavior was illegal and undemocratic, Wu said.
He said the most surprising finding of the survey was the high rate of support (75.1 percent) for drafting a new constitution.
The poll, which the think tank conducts quarterly, has questions on several basic issues regarding Taiwan's identity, support for independence and support for unification.
The latest survey also found increasing grassroots awareness and support for a Taiwanese identity, especially among young people, think tank official said.
More than half (60.5 percent) of respondents identify themselves as Taiwanese — the highest level in the past five surveys since June last year — while those who identify themselves as both Taiwanese and Chinese (32.8 percent) hit a new low, the poll found.
The percentage of those identifying themselves as Chinese remained very low (2.9 percent), the poll showed.
In comparison with the results of the March poll, the percentage of respondents identifying themselves as Taiwanese rose from 64.6 percent to 72.9 percent in the 20-29 age group and from 54.2 percent to 63.2 percent in the 30-39 age group.
Think tank founder Koo Kuan-ming (辜寬敏) said a close examination of the survey results showed that young Taiwanese are no longer uninterested in politics.
Young people also believe that "Ma's authoritarianism under the disguise of democracy is so unbearable that they will do whatever is necessary to fight it," Koo said.
The survey was conducted between Thursday and Saturday last week. A total of 1,072 valid samples were collected and the poll's margin of error is plus or minus 3 percentage points.

If there are more than five search terms, fully-matching results need not necessarily contain occurrences of all query words: instead, documents are ranked by their relevance score.
Stop-words—extremely common terms like "it" or "and" or "the"—are excluded from searches unless the query contains fewer than three non-stopwords, e.g. "the Union".
Searches are not case sensitive, so "IT" is not distinguished from "it".
Refining Your Search
You may find that a simple search retrieves a long list of pages, but the information you're looking for is either buried a long way from the top, or not there at all.

JULES EMulator of ecosystem services (JEM)
Department Name: Mathematics
Ecosystems provide many services, such as timber, food, and water. They are a natural protection against floods, store carbon, and are locations of cultural heritage and recreation. To be sustainable and profitable, future landscape decisions need to consider the various services provided by ecosystems as well as their responses to climate change. The UK's commitment to reducing emissions (to at least 80% below 1990 levels by 2050) means that carbon storage and greenhouse gas emissions from land are central to future land use and management. More ambitious emission reduction targets and their implications are currently being discussed, increasing the need to build land use decisions upon an understanding of the integrated water and biogeochemical cycles.
Process-based land surface models are excellent tools for predicting carbon, water, and surface heat exchanges between the land and atmosphere. The UK's community land surface model, JULES, is used in the Met Office Unified Model (UM) framework for applications ranging from climate change to weather forecasting. JULES predicts productivity of vegetation, carbon accumulation in vegetation and soils, soil water content, runoff, and emissions of greenhouse gases from vegetation and soils - meaning it can be used for evaluating the impacts of land use change and climate change on several ecosystem services. Within the UM, JULES is run at a km-scale resolution for weather forecasting. JULES is also used for evaluating the global carbon cycle: for example, each year JULES is used to calculate the net land sink of carbon and emissions due to land use change in the Global Carbon Project. However, in these simulations the spatial resolution (>50km) is inadequate for addressing landscape-scale issues.
The computational cost of running JULES at km-scale resolution is very high. At a 1.2km resolution, there were nearly 80,000 grid cells. Running on 144 cores, a 10-year simulation took 70 hours. Decisions on land use changes should incorporate longer timescale changes and uncertainty quantification. An emulator of JULES would allow for more robust statistical calculation of changes in carbon stocks and the water cycle and their uncertainty and open the way for better calibration of JULES. During this short project we will design and build emulators of JULES to inform future evaluation of ecosystem services related to the carbon and water cycles.
The emulator will enable statistical analysis of changes in productivity that would occur due to land use change. This is useful for decision makers involved in land use and land management. To ensure our work produces useful outputs we will engage with Defra, who we see as a key stakeholder in this project. We will also engage with the Project Coordination Team early in the grant to ensure our project integrates with other work in the program and to maximize the opportunity for wider engagement. This is essential as the limited time and resources for this project limit the engagement we can undertake on our own.
This project will serve as an essential building block in a larger project, which will utilize emulators of more ecosystem services. This will be useful within the research community and for those involved in landscape decisions, enabling an improved understanding of impacts of land use and land management decisions on ecosystem services under a changing climate. For example, the UK government is considering input from the Committee on Climate Change on Building a Net Zero economy, which will likely include one or more forms of land management for carbon storage. Understanding how land use change and land management will affect the carbon cycle, as well as quantifying the uncertainty in the impacts, will be essential for planning future land use.

Baker E Emulation of high-resolution land surface models with sparse Gaussian processes with application to JULES
Software and Technical Products
Description Our project focused on building an emulator of a process-based land surface model. Due to the short duration of the project, our objective was to lay the foundation for future work by building an initial Gaussian process emulator to be used for global sensitivity analysis, uncertainty analysis due to uncertainty in model parameters and climate change, and calibration. We demonstrated the capacity for this emulator and discovered some methodologies to reduce the computational cost of building the emulator.
Exploitation Route The example of the emulator built in this project could be applied to any land surface model. We have incorporated the early work in this project into a successful proposal for a UKRI Greenhouse Gas Removal Demonstrator project.

"I was born on the evening of June 24, 1975 in NYC, one month prematurely while my parents were there visiting my mother's family in various East Coast locations from our home in St Louis, MO. In 2015, a friend of mine took me to New Orleans for a few days prior to my birthday as a gift. We had a great time and had tickets to fly home in the early afternoon on my birthday. The flight out of Louis Armstrong Airport was uneventful except for two things. The first was an older guy sitting beside us who kept looking our way. He had what I can only describe as a gentle smile on his face. I didn't feel creeped out so much, but it was just weird to have him spend so much time looking our way in silence. The next thing was when we started to descend for landing. The plane started to shake and jolt terribly. My buddy and I looked at each other with that 'Oh f--k' expression. I glanced past my friend and caught the eye of the man sitting across the aisle. He was looking straight at me, with that grin still on his face. He leaned out from his seat toward ours and said very calmly, in a firm tone, 'This one will land just fine', then turned his head and looked forward. That gentle smile never left his face. From there the ride got really rough, but the plane landed just fine. The pilot came on the intercom and quickly explained that it was some pretty bad wind-shear, gave us a weather update and thanked us for flying. Everyone on the plane was so stressed I swear I could smell the fear.
As we got our carry-ons out of the overheads I made a point to not even glance at that dude, but I could feel him looking at me. We got off and hustled our asses on out of there. Nobody was saying a word. We were all still freaking out. Here is where it gets creepy... last year I was reading about air disasters. That experience had stuck with me and I developed a bit of an obsession. One day I came across the story of Eastern Airlines Flight 66. The flight left New Orleans in the early afternoon on June 24, 1975 en route to JFK in NYC. The plane crashed on descent due to severe wind-shear, killing 113 people, just hours before I was born, 40 years to the day from my flight with the man and his gentle grin."

It's no good leaving your car in the way of other cars. If injuries allow pulling the car to some other place where it would not block the traffic, it is highly recommended to do so. This way you will not disturb anyone and can call the police for further investigation.


Many couples are now deciding on outdoor weddings because it is budget-friendly and easier to organize. After all, there is event marquee hire on the Gold Coast that delivers high quality tents for an affordable cost. The actual setup can be a challenge but with an event management team, everything will be organized up to the smallest details.
Before you hire a marquee tent, make sure that you have decided on a reception style and the number of guests that will be invited. This will affect the type of tent that you will hire. There are different options to choose from – traditional, frame or the giant conical tents. The site of the reception is also a factor that has to be considered because traditional marquees cannot be erected on courtyards or tennis courts. A frame-style marquee is the most suitable option for this purpose.
There are marquees with windows and doors but there is also an open style. You can also choose the items you want to be incorporated inside the tent. If you want a garden theme, you can add your favourite tree, pond, foliage and flowers. If you are not very creative, there are wedding planners that will assist you.
Wedding venues also have event management teams that will help you in choosing the banqueting tables. Do you prefer round, square or long tables? Let the team help you decide because it would be difficult to do it alone. The wedding planner can talk to suppliers, decorate the venue, take delivery of all goods and manage the day. The wedding planner is also prepared to deal with all the challenges so that you will be completely stress-free.
Aside from the hiring a large marquee for the reception, it is important to consider smaller tents to be used as rest rooms. This is very important if the wedding is held in a beach where there are no rest rooms.
The best option for outdoor weddings is a company that can deliver event marquee hire on the Gold Coast with logistics and site management. The event management team will ensure that everything will run smoothly and provide you with everything you expect.

For those who only watch the Super Bowl for the commercials, this year you're in for a treat. Kraft's first Super Bowl commercial will feature families the company has enlisted who love their mac 'n cheese from a blue box. But if you're curious about who the real families from the Kraft Super Bowl commercial are, well, they're the ones that hashtag their best Super Bowl Sunday photos.
Right now, no one, not even Kraft, know who will appear in the 30-second spot. That's because Kraft's commercial will be created in real time, according to Adweek, and will air at some point during the second half of Super Bowl 52. It's a bold move, considering that the average Super Bowl commercial reportedly comes together in 13 to 18 weeks.
While the Patriots and Eagles — looking to win their very first Super Bowl — go head-to-head, the brand known not only for mac n' cheese, but salad dressing, cheese, and so much more, wants you to share your favorite family photos and videos from the big game on Instagram and Twitter. By using the hashtag #FamilyGreatly and #KraftEntry between 6 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. EST on Feb. 4, you could be one of the families chosen to take part in the commercial.
You may notice that Kraft has turned "family" into a verb for this commercial. In an interview with USA Today, Field said that "family is more than just who is. It really is the action and the love and the conviction that makes a family."
The Super Bowl ad is part of Kraft's Family Greatly campaign, which began in December with commercials in which parents shared their fears and concerns about being a mom or dad, only to have their kids show up to let them know how much they love and appreciate them. Yes, expect Kraft's Super Bowl debut to tug at the heartstrings.
On the ompany's website, they even offer tips for their Super Bowl ad, such as "try to avoid showing logos and brand names" and "keep it simple and just focus on a few people." Most of all, though, the site makes it clear: "No Pressure. Your photo doesn't have to be perfect to be great."
There isn't a limit to how many photos and videos Kraft will include, Field told Adweek; it's just as many as they "reasonably can in the time we have." So spend a little of your time thinking how you can best show off your family.
This isn't the first time the Super Bowl has included a commercial that was created in real time. Last year, Hyundai created a live commercial with a little help from the U.S. military. The commercial, directed by Peter Berg (Patriot's Day), was a tribute to those football fans who are fighting for more than a championship ring.
Snickers went one step further last year creating the first ever live Super Bowl commercial with help from Kylo Ren himself, Adam Driver. The commercial didn't go as planned — Driver missed his mark because he was too hungry to get it right — but that was the plan. See, the commercial and the apology, which followed from Driver and Snickers, was all an elaborate scheme to coincide with the brand's tagline: "You're not you when you're hungry."
Of course, Kraft is hoping all will go well when they make their Super Bowl debut and that you'll feel full enough to be part of this historical moment in the brand's history. Just don't forget to say cheese.

2019.05.16 Exotic and Rare Cars, Limited Edition Cars
"It was a one-box design. We did a mock-up right there in our little office and brought in investors and people got excited and we ultimately raised a small amount of funds."
Brubaker Box was a kit car designed by Curtis Brubaker. It is considered the first minivan. Brubaker got the idea from Volkswagen Minibuses, and attempted to update the concept. The kit was designed to fit on the chassis of a Volkswagen Beetle. In 1972 after a deal with Volkswagen could not be reached, Brubaker began buying completed Beetles and converting them to Boxes, selling the excess pieces. However, this scheme did not prove profitable, and very few boxes were ever constructed. Brubaker filed for bankruptcy the same year. Investors in the company tried to continue manufacturing the Box in various ways, the only success being Mike Hansen's Automecca, located in Chatsworth, California, in 1974 with its "Sports Van."
The Brubaker Box was assembled on a complete Volkswagen Type I chassis. Due to the extended length of the body compared to that of a standard Volkswagen Beetle, the foot pedal assembly was relocated forward and up from the standard position. The fuel tank was moved from the front to the center of the vehicle for increased safety.
Constructed from fiberglass, the body was made from 13 inner and outer panels, including a floor panel, riveted and bonded together. The whole body was designed to bolt directly to an unmodified Volkswagen Beetle chassis.
In the first prototypes stock front seats from Ford or Volkswagen were retained and a lounge-type seat was created for the rear of the vehicle. To add to the rear seating area, a footstool/cushion was added above the fuel tank. A single sliding door on the right side was the only entrance. The radio and switches were in the door panel to the left of the driving position. Shock absorbing bumpers of composite construction were designed to look like curved wood. The spare wheel was mounted to absorb frontal crash energy. For sunny days a large removable panel was positioned in the center of the roof panel. To reduce production costs, parts from other vehicles were used. The front windshield was from an AMC Javelin, tail lights from a Datsun Truck and various other parts from a Chevrolet El Camino.

Summary of "Spinach Downy Mildew: Advances in Our Understanding of the Disease Cycle and Prospects for Disease Management."
Downy mildew on spinach is caused by Peronospora effusa, an oomycete pathogen that poses a challenge to spinach production worldwide, especially in organic production. Following infection, P. effusa produces abundant amounts of asexual sporangia. Sporangia become windborne and initiate new infections locally or distantly, leading to widespread epidemics. Oospores produced from the union of opposite mating types have been observed within infected leaves and seeds and may remain viable for many years. Sexual reproduction increases the genetic diversity of P. effusa through sexual recombination, and thus, the movement of oospores on seed has likely fueled the rapid explosion of new pathotypes in different regions of the world over the past 20 years. This review summarizes recent advances in spinach downy mildew research, especially in light of the findings of oospores in contemporary commercial spinach seed lots as well as their germination. Knowledge of the role of the oospores and other aspects of the disease cycle can directly translate into new and effective disease management strategies.

Nano Breakthrough Paves Way For Super Cheap Solar Panels
August 1, 2012 / Klint Finley
New from me at Wired, a graphene inspired photovoltaics breakthrough:
Two things hold back the mass adoption of solar energy as a source of sustainable energy. One is the need to store and transmit excess power, a problem people like Danielle Fong are working on solving by developing innovative new ways to store power. The other is the high cost of solar panels. One of the reasons solar panels are so expensive is that it's tricky to extract electric currents from semiconductors, the materials used to convert solar radiation into electrical energy.
Up til now, this could only be done with a few materials — usually silicon. But a new breakthrough will enable manufacturers to make efficient photovoltaics using almost any semiconductor, including cheap and abundant materials like metal oxides, sulfides, and phosphides.
A typical photovoltaic cell is built with silicon and treated with chemicals. This treatment is called "doping," and it creates the driving force needed to extract power from the cell. Photovoltaics can also be built with cheaper materials but many of these can't be doped chemically. But a method developed by Professor Alex Zettl's research group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and University of California at Berkeley makes it possible to dope nearly any semiconductor by applying an electric field instead of chemicals. The method is described in a paper published in the journal Nano Letters.
