Duke's R.J. Barrett could have big role on Canadian senior national team
By Scott PhillipsJun 27, 2018, 9:20 AM EDT
Duke incoming freshman R.J. Barrett has made a big impact on the Canadian senior national team during his first two exhibition games.
Considered by some to be the No. 1 incoming freshman in college basketball this season, the 6-foot-7 Barrett averaged 18.5 points per game during Canada's two exhibition friendlies against the Chinese national team. Canada basketball is preparing for an important stretch as they play in the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 Americas Qualifier next.
In the second win, Barrett had 21 points to go along with five assists and three rebounds as he was the team's leading scorer. Considering that the Canadian senior national team features NBA players and other professionals, this is quite an accomplishment and something to keep an eye on over these next few weeks. Barrett has previously been a star for the Canadian national team, but it has come at the younger levels of FIBA play and not with the senior national team.
It's one thing to dominant at the U19 level against a John Calipari-coached team of American high school and college stars. It's another level when established pros are deferring to a player who is fresh out of high school.
Barrett's development into a potential go-to player is not only intriguing for the future of Canadian men's basketball, but it's also important for Duke. Barrett has a chance to be a special talent next season.
With the Blue Devils having a very young team once again next season, they'll ideally need someone like Barrett to take the burden of being the primary scorer. There isn't a senior fallback option like Grayson Allen to rely on now that he's moved on to the NBA. Duke is going to be one of the most talented teams in the country — on paper. But we still need to see how this extremely talented freshman class handles the expectations and the rigors of the ACC.
If Barrett shows an ability to take over games like he's done with the Canadian senior national team, then it will be a good sign that he can be a dominant offensive player for the Blue Devils this season. It's also interesting to note that Barrett will be the only member of Duke's expected rotation who is not on campus with the team during the upcoming July 2nd summer session. Barrett is expected to join the team later this summer as the Blue Devils get an important overseas trip (and 10 extra practice days) to try to get the freshmen playing on the same page.
While Barrett has been the showstopper for the Canadians so far, Florida incoming freshman guard Andrew Nembhard will also be a player to watch with regards to the college ranks in this event. After going scoreless during the first Canadian exhibition win, Nembhard exploded for 18 points and three assists in the second win, as he went an impressive 6-for-7 behind the FIBA three-point line.

On Tuesday Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski celebrated his 71st birthday, and to mark the occasion he was gifted a creative birthday cake.
Coach K's cake was a design of the Cameron Indoor Stadium court with a goat sitting atop half-court. Of course, the goat represents the moniker "greatest of all time," and it also had medals around its neck to commemorate the three Olympic gold medals he led USA Basketball to in 2008 (Beijing), 2012 (London) and 2016 (Rio de Janeiro).
Epic 🐐🎂 for the 🐐. Happy birthday Coach K!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🐐🔵😈 pic.twitter.com/8jO5W5kY7y

Duke recruit Bagley hoping to play in the 2017-18 season
(Jon Lopez/Nike)
Associated PressAug 19, 2017, 9:38 AM EDT
Marvin Bagley III, widely considered the top recruit in the class of 2018, reclassified this week and could be eligible to play for Duke in the upcoming season.
His decision immediately thrusts the Blue Devils toward the front of the national-title conversation for the 2017-18 season.
But what exactly does it mean to reclassify and how does the process work?
According to the NCAA, all incoming student-athletes must complete 16 core courses from a list that includes English, math, natural or physical science, social science, foreign language, comparative religion or philosophy. Classes such as physical education, health and music do not count as core courses, nor do remedial classes or classes completed through credit-by-exam.
The student-athlete must also show proof of graduation from high school and have an ACT/SAT test score that corresponds to his or her core course GPA on a sliding scale; the higher the GPA, the lower the standardized test score needs to be.
The NCAA eligibility center's amateurism team then determines whether to certify a student-athlete. The process and requirements are the same for every sport.
Bagley is scheduled to graduate from Southern California's Sierra Canyon High School later this month, completing his course work a year ahead of schedule. His transcripts may be a little more complicated because he attended three different high schools and the NCAA will review his final transcript following his graduation to determine if he is eligible to play Division I basketball.
Bagley's move is not unprecedented.
Through the years, five-star prospects who want to get a jump on their college careers — and potentially professional careers — have gone through the same process, though usually not right before the fall semester begins as Bagley did.
Mike Gminski is considered the leave-high-school-early originator, graduating a year early so he could play at Duke in 1976. He went on to become an All-American and played 17 NBA seasons.
In recent years, Kansas' Andrew Wiggins, North Carolina State's Dennis Smith Jr., Duke's Derryck Thornton and Kentucky's Karl-Anthony Towns were among the student-athletes who graduated early to play college basketball sooner. Kentucky's Hamidou Diallo graduated a semester early and joined the Wildcats in January last season, but did not play. He declared for the NBA draft before deciding to return to Lexington.
Jontay Porter reclassified this year so he could play a year early with his brother, top recruit Michael, at Missouri. Canadian guard R.J. Barrett, considered the top recruit in 2019, has reclassified so he can graduate in 2018.
"With AAU and year-round competition basically, a lot of the players are ready for college-level play at an earlier age," Gminski told WRAL in Raleigh, North Carolina, in 2015. "And most of these guys have been around a lot. They do a lot of traveling. They tend to mature pretty fast."
Early graduation in football became popular in the early 2000s, though they typically only do it a semester early to enroll in college for the spring semester and participate in spring practices.
Baseball player Bryce Harper left his Las Vegas high school after his sophomore season and earned his GED so he could start playing professional baseball sooner. He played one season for the College of Southern Nevada and was taken with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 MLB draft by the Washington Nationals.
An opposite trend has started playing out in recent years, with parents holding their kids back a year so they can become bigger, stronger and more polished — some as early as middle school. Many top-tier recruits hold off going to college for a year, instead playing for elite prep schools after graduation for more seasoning and exposure.
Bagley opted for the get-to-college-early route, changing the landscape in college basketball in the process

Duke and Krzyzewski have "a decision" to make as injuries linger
Photo by Grant Halverson/Getty Images
By Travis HinesFeb 26, 2017, 1:19 PM EST
Duke missed the production of veterans Grayson Allen and Amile Jefferson on Saturday in its 55-50 loss to Miami, the Blue Devils' second-straight loss after falling to Syracuse earlier in the week. It also missed their influence on the offensive end.
Allen missed the game with an ankle injury while the foot problem that sidelined Jefferson for a pair of games in January continues to be an issue and limited to minor second-half minutes Saturday. Without the pair, Duke shot 31.8 percent from the floor and had 13 turnovers against the Hurricanes.
"We need those guys to calm people down on the offensive end," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said after the game. "The continuity on the offensive end is not up to par with the defense."
Both players will be re-evaluated before Tuesday's home contest against Florida State, but Jefferson's injury would appear to be the most concerning given it has lingered for well over a month now.
"I've got to make a decision with Amile," Krzyzewski said. "He's not running. He is not running at all."
Duke could likely make it work in the short term if it was short just one of the Allen-Jefferson duo, but without both it stresses the ballhandling, playmaking and inexperienced frontcourt all at the same time. Luke Kennard was the only Blue Devil to crack double figures scoring against the 'Canes while freshmen Marques Bolden and Harry Giles, who both have had their injury issues, were relatively ineffective in player fewer than 20 minutes apiece. Both Kennard and Jayson Tatum played a full 40.
At the start of the season, Duke had the look of a juggernaut, but given the multitude of issues they've faced seemingly from the jump, it has a bit of a slog with only a seven-game winning streak to have eased their pain all year.
What made the Blue Devils look so formidable before the season was their sheer level of talent. With Allen and Jefferson ailing, the move for Krzyzewski might be to just bet on that talent in the NCAA tournament rather than jockey for seeding position. He could keep Jefferson and Allen on the shelf as they heal, give Giles and Bolden a ton of run and then just make a go of it in the Big Dance, betting on the talent overcoming the inconsistency of the season.
Like Krzyzewski said about Jefferson, he's got a decision to make.

Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski to have surgery

By Rob DausterJan 2, 2017, 12:01 PM EST
Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski will miss an undetermined number of games as he is scheduled to undergo lower back surgery.
The procedure will remove a fragment of a herniated disk, and the expected recovery time is four weeks. He will coach Wednesday's game against Georgia Tech before current associate head coach and former Oklahoma head coach Jeff Capel will step in as the interim coach, beginning with Jan. 7th's game against Boston College. Capel also filled in for Coach K last season when he missed a game against Georgia Tech.
Capel was the point guard for Duke in 1995, when Coach K was forced to missed the second half of the season due to complications from a different back surgery. The Blue Devils went 13-18 that season.
"Dr. William Richardson, Dr. Friedman, and our medical team have worked tirelessly to help manage this issue for several weeks," said Krzyzewski. "Together, we have determined that surgery is the best course of action at this time. During my recovery process, the team will be in the capable hands of Coach Capel, Coach James and Coach Scheyer. As soon as the doctors clear me to do so, I look forward to returning and giving our team 100% of my energy and attention, which is certainly something that they deserve."
This is yet another twist in what has been a weird year for the Blue Devils. It started with Duke landing one of the nation's best recruiting classes before watching all three of their highly-touted newcomers – Jayson Tatum, Harry Giles III and Marques Bolden – miss the start of the season through injury.
After Luke Kennard and Amile Jefferson carried the team to terrific start in their absence, the Blue Devils struggled against Elon and Tennessee State before Christmas and followed that up by getting pasted in their ACC opener at Virginia Tech over the weekend.
They are also still dealing with the fallout of Grayson Allen's latest tripping incident. Allen is still indefinitely suspended from competition, and that is just the beginning of what is currently ailing Duke.
Duke's season is at a crossroads. For a team that looked to be the heavy favorite to win the title as recently as Dec. 10th, this has been quite the turn of events.

While what will happen to Grayson Allen following his third tripping incident in a year remains to be seen, the Duke junior owned up to the mistake immediately following the Blue Devils' win over Elon.

"I made a really bad play. I'm sorry to him, (Steven) Santa Ana. I'm sorry to the officials who have to call that. I'm sorry to my team because it's selfish and taking away from them.
"I'm not proud of it at all."
The mea culpa certainly appears sincere, and Allen deserves credit for taking ownership of his mistake. It's something, though, he's done in the past after such incidents and why many, including me, have called for a suspension for Allen with the reckless on-court behavior not changing despite the public proclamations of regret.
"I handle things the way I handle them," coach Mike Krzyzewski said after the game, "and I think I've handled this correctly, and moving forward I will continue to handle it correctly, and I don't need to satisfy what other people think I should do."

Some days you just need a comforting dish to make everything seem better. It's been a rough week and after a long day Monday to start my week, comfort food and a little luxury food seemed to be in order. I always have a variety of cheese in my refrigerator, even thought I don'e eat as much cheese as I use to. There's just something comforting about cheese and I enjoy having it on hand. I had received a few coupons from the nice folks at Kerrygold (I love there butter!!), and picked up a couple of cheeses that I wound not normally have purchased. I picked an Aged Cheddar with Irish Whiskey and a Dubliner with Irish Stout, both excellent cheeses! After a taste testing I determined the Aged Cheddar would be the best compliment to the broccoli rabe. For the remainder of the cheese, I used a store brand of 3 year aged cheddar….sigh….I do love cheddar! For this dish I thought a twist was in order, I do make mac and cheese through out the winter, hearty and comforting, but for a beautiful spring day, I wanted to venture off the beaten track just a bit. It came down to what I had in the refrigerator, and I thought the broccoli rabe made more sense than the pineapple, although the more I think of it pineapple mac and cheese might be pretty darn good! I also had mushrooms in the refer that needed to be used and since we both love mushrooms it was a no brainer.
I do love mac and cheese, but I like it more as a side dish than an entree, and as luck would have it I had picked up some beautiful lobster tails at Sam's club a couple weeks ago, and after a quick thaw in the sink as I whipped up the mac and cheese, they were ready for the grill! I know lobster sounds like an extravagant meal, but at Sam's club I can pick up two 8 oz tails for under $20. Just think of how much they would cost at a restaurant and there a bargain at that price !
Now I was excited…..yummm, grilled lobster and mac and cheese…….life is good!
In a large sauce pan add the butter and allow to melt, add in the flour and mix well. Turn down heat and allow to cook for about 5 minutes. Do not let roux get brown!
Add hot milk to roux and blend well to make sure all of the roux is incorporated.
Continue to simmer on low and add in your about 3/4 of your cheese, reserving some for the top.
When the sauce is almost done reduce heat to very low and begin cooking your pasta.
In a large pot cook pasta per instructions on box, reduce cooking time by 2 minutes.
when pasta is done, mix sauce, cooked broccoli rabe and mushrooms together.
Pour into a casserole dish, top with the remaining cheese and bake for 30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Allow pasta to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
I get a lot of questions about using social media to help network with other bloggers and to get your blogs more exposure.
Twitter is a must, while you can find many of your friends on twitter, and its nice to connect with them while your on twitter, what you really get out of it, is the cross traffic. The unknown followers, these are the new people you are looking for. Twitter allows people to find you that might normally not find your blog otherwise.
Twitter also allows you to keep up with the biggies in the blogging world, and if you tweet them, they might just answer you……and you never know where that could lead!
So join twitter if your not already on board, and tweet away! Tweetdeck is a nice tool to use to help keep you organized on twitter, check it out!
This is a great way to keep in touch with family and friends, but it also has a down side….you can get overloaded with people you don't know, or have nothing in common with. That being said, its also a great way to connect with people you might not normally meet…..authors, publicists, and of course the occasional celebrity! I have to say this is probably a must as well, have a fan page for your blog, and let everyone know about it! An easy way to find friends to connect with is to visit a fellow blogger that you know and open their friends list up, go through it and send a friend request to those you know. Its a fast and easy way to find them.
What ever social media you do use, make sure you have the links near the top of your blog page to make it easy for everyone to click on them to find you, like you or follow you!
I have tried CS4 and it just seems to be a bit much work for what I need, PS Elements is an easier editor to use, with a much lower price tag. I also use Lightroom, and I do like the workflow aspect of it, it is a time saver. If you go to Adobe's website you can try any of the software for free for 30 days. It's a great way to see if you like it enough to buy it. Paint shop Pro is another option, but you have to pay for it, and I feel if your going to buy a program stick with the industry standard, it's Number One for a reason. Go to Adobe an download the software for free, you have nothing to lose. If you do decide to get any major software, remember what we said about getting an education discount, it will save you lots of money on CS5!
see if one is available.
when you put in the key words, add in the words for the channels that you want them to be in at the same time, just add healthy, family, everyday, travel, what ever you want it to appear in, its just that easy! You don't have to go back to edit and pick them out, so you save a step. You can thank Susan at Eat Little, Eat Big for that gem! Thanks Susan!
and if you want to get noticed for the top 9 thats the only way its going to happen….no upload, no photo, no top 9!
While were on the upload, please use your blog name or your name. When I'm buzzing, if it says my blog, mine, or anything closely resembling those, I just pass it by. But if I know who it is I buzz it open it and read it!
Don't forget, these easiest way to keep up with your friends on foodbuzz is to click on buzz and when it opens at the very end of the bar it says my friends. Click on my friends and all the new posts from your friends will appear. If you can't read them all at least you can buzz them!
That's it for today my friends, its been another killer week, with the biggest event of the year Wednesday. My girls will be out in force to help with the dinner, and after that its all down hill, with just a few small events as we finish up our last few weeks…..
Before I go I did want to mention that I was interviewed by Munaty Cooking Magazine it really is a beautiful publication, and if you want to learn a little bit more about me, click on the link and check out my interview!
Have a wonderful week, and until next time, remember!
Hmmm.. I don't know which is more intriguing. The mac & cheese recipe or your tips! I need to pay attention to FoodBuzz more. I've been neglecting it. Great tips!
Saw this recipe on YBR and just had to check it out. Amazing. Mac and cheese is one of my favorites – definitely comfort food! – and I love the addition of broccoli rabe. And those lobster tails look to die for! Beautiful photos. And thanks for the social media tips as well, I can always use them!
I have some havarti cheese in my fridge that I've been trying to figure out what to do with…maybe I'll have to make some mac & cheese now. Yum!! Oh…and I LOVE Dubliner cheese. So good!! Thanks for sharing!
Wow. As usual, thanks for the helpful tips! Together we are stronger.
The mac 'n cheese looks fabulous, especially paired with lobster. Will be making asap. I am so grateful I live in New England.
This sounds like the perfect dinner to me! Mac and cheese and lobster–the best of both worlds!
Can you believe that the school year is almost over? I remember reading your posts on what's cooking at the Mount in September when it just started!
I have just spent the better part of the day outdoors (partially at a new farm and partially at an obligatory sporting event) in the freezing rain that threatens to turn to snow. This dish could not be closer to nirvana (not the band) than I could imagine. I could crawl right inside it as cold as I am right now! I totally agree on Mac and Cheese and love your creative choices! Your advice is also stellar as always (love the tip about 'if you don't have time to read, you can still buzz'; brilliant).
Looks like you lost some of your comments in the Blogger fiasco! I could have sworn that I commented on this post. That Mac and Cheese looks "over the top" delicious and that lobster looks divine! I have some awards for you over at my place!
So, when are you having me over for dinner?! This looks and sounds amazing!! I will definitely have to try the recipe!
I can vouch for picnik, it is what I use and LOVE. So easy, used it for over a year now.
I have a 3 year aged cheddar cheese I bought in Vermont that I have been saving for something nice. Now I know what to do with it. Thanks for the great recipe!
I've learned alot from your sharing about Foodbuzz etc so happy to share a tidbit with you and your readers!
The mac n cheese looks and sounds simply amazing-how can you go wrong with that cheese?
This looks awesome! Yummy recipe.
Mouth is watering with that broc rabe addition and now I'm missing DiNics. I could put broc rabe on everything but never thought to add to mac-n-cheese. Nicely done. Can't wait to give this a try.
That is the most perfect meal of comfort food!
This macaroni and cheese looks amazing especially with that lobster tail on the side. Yum!
Wow, now that is a meal to raise your spirits! Fantastic. I hope this week is treating you better so far.
This sounds so decadent Chef! I won a giveaway of 12 wedges of cheese so this is definitely on my to-make list now. Thanks!
Your dinner looks amazing! Mac n cheese at a whole other level! Thanks for the latest tips with foodbuzz, twitter etc. Still learning SO much!
I haven't made mac and cheese for such a long time, but I love where you are going with this one. Kerrygold is one of my favorite cheeses for both cooking and snacking. Those lobster tails on the side bring it to a whole new level. I'll have to check out your article and good luck with your event today.
One more great post, for me the best part is the list of photo editing software. Thanks!
Mac and cheese is probably one of the foods that I would eat at my last supper. Absolutely comforting and now with the element of the broccoli rabe AND lobster? Too much and in a good way! Love it!
Macaroni and cheese with lobster?? You're lucky we aren't neighbors or I would show up coincidentally around dinner time every night to see what you're up to! I love trying different cheeses.
I'm going to read your interview now and check out a couple photo editing softwares that you mentioned.
Leftovers with lobster! I'll have to try it. Your mac n' cheese is gorgeous, and paired with grilled lobster tail, over the top! thanks for sharing.
I always learn something new, when I read your blog.
The grilled lobster tail did it for me. My guy would most likely prefer to have the mac n cheese as his entree and I'd be more than happy to eat his share of lobster. I love trying new mac n cheese recipes since he is such a fan. Thanks for this variation. Looking forward to trying it sometime. Yummy!
What a great twist, Chef Dennis! I find rapini can be a bit overwhelmingly bitter sometimes, but I bet that's actually an asset here… I'd imagine it balances the rich creaminess of the mac n' cheese beautifully.
We posted very similar recipes today! Weird! Except, mine is minus the lobster, unfortunately. This looks amazing, as usual…and yes, comfort food is wonderful.
We're getting a little break in the heat today, so a baked pasta sounds great. Love how easy this comes together.
Wow Dennis! That is some mac and cheese you got going on there! It looks so amazing and then the addition of the lobster? Holy macaroni! This is my kind of meal!
An awesome mac & cheese there with broccoli rabe and grilled lobster, yum!
Another great dish Dennis and I'd guess siding it with a lobster tail made it even more comforting.
Congrats on your interview, Dennis!
Love the dinner that you just whipped up…oh, man, I wish that plate could miraculously appear in front of me. Both the lobster and mac and cheese look incredible!
Have a great day…and hope today and the rest of your week goes well.
Another amazing meal, chef! Comfort food fit for a King. I love your description of the cheddar. Makes me crave for some now. Courage for the week: you are brilliant! Thanks also on your invaluable updates re FB etc. Have to admit, I don't do twitter and realise I should; but can't even cope with blogging as it is, and having a "life".
With the end of school in sight, the grown ups and the kids just need to endure to the end. Here's hoping to a wonderful last few weeks for you. Comfort food like that macaroni and cheese certainly helps. I love how you fancied it up to create a lovely meal fit for company or family.
What a decadent way to serve Macaroni and Cheese – with a lobster tail – fabulous!
ohhhh I'd be all over that pineapple mac n cheese *maybe that's the pregnancy talking LOL* ~ the combination of cheddars, the broccoli rabe, fantastic Dennis, I have been craving a whole lotta pasta these days and this would most certainly hit the spot.
I don't cake much for shellfish but you had me with the lobster tails. and mac&cheese, who could ask for more? Love it.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe and your knowledge about blogging.
Have a wonderful rest of the evening Chef!
I think you need to come over to my house and teach me how to throw together a meal like this by just opening up the fridge and seeing what's in there. Gorgeous mac and cheese, Chef.
I served leftovers tonight and boy, would I have loved to have this instead. I would have been happy w/ the mac-n-cheese alone but you took it several notches higher by throwing in the lobster. Winner!
PS: All Irish butter and cheese are awesome in my opinion.

This year I have the honor (and challenge) of being one of four analysts working with the HR Technology Conference to pick the next great HR tech company. Of the hundreds of submissions to this year's contest, eight have been selected and four will actually get to present on-stage at HR Tech to a live audience. That audience will vote on who is the best and a new champion will be crowned.
With that in mind, I'd love some help! I am coaching two companies in the contest, Papaya Global and Proxfinity. In this semifinal round of voting, you can only pick one, but I'd love for you to take a few minutes and check out all of the contenders and make your vote heard!
If you like the podcast medium, you can listen here to Steve Boese, Chairman of the HR Tech Conference, and George LaRocque, a friend, analyst, and the President of the Ben Eubanks fan club (his words, not mine) talk about the eight companies.
If you prefer to read, here is the link to the contest overview where you can learn about the participants and place your vote.
I have two completely different companies in the running and both of them are doing really innovative work. I love both of these companies and would be thrilled to see either of them enter the finals!
Papaya Global is a solution that helps companies that are expanding globally. They focus not just on the compliance side and helping employers understand how to set up entities (or not), hire locally, and manage their payroll and benefits, but they also provide a technology platform that offers transparency and scalability. I've hired internationally before. It's a huge challenge for smaller companies that don't have a ton of resources and experience. And with more companies expanding globally than ever before (the US has a 4% unemployment rate, for goodness' sake), this is the time for a company like Papaya to step up. The other angle on this is the increasing reliance on contingent labor. If I need a part-time developer for six months, it may be easier to find and hire that person in Singapore or Brazil than it would be to find, hire, and release that person in my home country. These project-based hires are becoming more frequent in today's world, which means there's a big need to fill.
Proxfinity is focused on creating connections in and among your workforce and providing analytics on those connections in ways you could have only dreamed of. It hinges on a few things, primarily a wearable badge that flashes when you are in proximity to someone else with similar interests so you can make that physical connection. I've always said there's nothing that substitutes for a face-to-face conversation and Proxfinity is making those easier than ever. Plus, you can see analytics on the back end, which opens up a world of possibilities. For example, you may find out that your onboarding meetups are not properly mixing your new staff with executives, which may prompt you to change your approach. Or you might realize that while you promote diversity and inclusion, in reality the various groups of workers don't mix as you might hope. Finally, you might just need to get your people outside their comfort zone and interacting with workers in other departments and functions, and you can program the badges to light up when someone is nearby that doesn't have your same type of job. It's a new area for HR to get into but I think there is incredible promise, and it's the only solution in the competition with a wearable/hardware component.
Don't forget to vote here. And if you're going to be at HR Tech this year, let me know and we can try to connect!

As technology evolves, what do you think the future of HR will look like?
My dream is for HR to be as savvy with its technological approach and focus on data as someone within the sales and marketing organization. Ask a marketer how a campaign went, and she can tell you stats about landing page visits, conversion rates, and more.
Ask an HR leader today how a particular program is running, and they will probably give you a blank look. Okay, they might be able to give you anecdotal information or even a basic piece of information, but they can't drill down to the level of these other functions. I see this as a chicken-or-the-egg type discussion. Instead of waiting for solutions and support from the vendor community, HR leaders need to be demanding the tools and services to enable this change.
The more HR executives make data and analytics capabilities a requirement for their vendor partners, the more robust and mature those functionalities will become. HR in the future will be a technology-enabled, company-leading function that drives immense value through the people resources.
One of the most striking things that hit me when I became a full-time analyst a few years ago was the divide between large and small organizations when it comes to technology. Small companies have limited solutions and budgets, often cobbling together free tools or going with the old standard for an HR system: Microsoft Excel.
There are companies that will budget something to get beyond 100% manual processes in areas like learning (training delivery/tracking) or recruiting (applicant tracking). But it's still an ad hoc approach and is hard to prove value.
Other companies at the larger end have already reaped the rewards of that initial technology implementation (time savings, reduced admin burden, etc.) This often comes in the form of a patchwork of systems and solutions that don't integrate well, if at all. For instance, I spoke with a friend at a large (20k+ employee) firm and the company is using five different systems just to manage end-to-end recruiting. In the words of my friend, it's a "Frankenstein" approach to getting the job done, and it's not even all that effective at anything other than creating frustration for users.
Smaller companies are getting into the tech game thanks to solutions like Zenefits, but it's still just a piece of the overall HR puzzle and doesn't solve some of the challenges around integration, data, and decision-making.
One of the areas I've been keenly interested in over the recent months has been the slew of small to mid-market solutions that are serving the HR community with a variety of technologies and services. I'm going to be meeting with several of these firms this week at the HR Tech conference and hope to get some good insights about how they are helping to bring these smaller firms along.
The big suites are too complex for small companies. Just like paper and manual work don't scale up beyond a hundred or two hundred employees, the massively complex systems offered by the large providers can't scale down to fit the process needs of a small firm (assuming we ignore the price).
I want to see HR leaders being as intentional about technology as their counterparts in other areas of the business. Marketers are smarter and faster because of their technology. Why can't HR see these tools as enablers of performance as well? As I said before, the HR function of the future will be a technology-enabled, company-leading function that drives immense value through its people resources. I don't think tech is going to replace people any more than processes will replace people. I think it's going to help us to deliver greater value to the workforce and to our employers over the long haul.
What are your thoughts? How has your firm used technology to support HR? If you haven't, why not?
This entry was posted in General and tagged HR Technology, Technology on October 3, 2016 by Ben.
Technology is everywhere in the workplace today, but one of the biggest problems for many companies is integrating the various systems they have. If you have a favorite performance management system and want that to feed into your company's learning management system so you aren't duplicating entries and potentially messing up data, good luck. That's a big reason why so many organizations go with suite providers (companies that offer multiple modules–performance, compensation, learning, talent acquisition, etc.) I had the thought recently just how absurd this would be in the real world, and that was the foundation for this post.
There are ten people sitting in a room working furiously. Nobody speaks to each other.
When a business problem arises, each person has a different solution, because each only has a piece of the overall story.
Oh, and each person has a different method/preference for interacting.
Bob only accepts conversations in batches between 2:00 and 3:00am on weekends so as not to interrupt other activities.
Anything you say to Mary will immediately overwrite what others have said to her on the same topic.
Charles only speaks a rare language that requires a $150/hr interpreter to translate.
30% of what you tell Floyd is immediately forgotten and requires you to re-tell him again.
When you ask Carrie to look something up it takes her half an hour and what she finds is completely irrelevant.
Nobody ever interacts with Jamie and nobody is sure why he is there, but then again nobody has ever dared to ask.
There are consultants for hire whose sole job is to attempt to help each system to talk with one another. It takes forever and costs a lot of money, and even when it works you're mostly disappointed.
See how crazy this analogy is? We wouldn't let this happen with people in the workplace, but with technology this is unfortunately an all-too-common story. We have all of these amazing technologies that help us to do things in more efficient ways than ever before, but the whole integration thing is holding us back.
I'd love to hear from some of you that have different technologies in the workplace that need to "talk" with each other. How were you able to solve the problem? Or do you just work around the issue instead of addressing it, because it is easier in the short term?

We set the scope enough for generality and narrow enough for success. Successful development of a business solution depends on the ability to manage the dynamic tension between scope and results. Project scope must include an area of the business wide enough to ensure sufficient generality, yet narrow enough to make success achievable in a limited time frame.
The challenges you face in developing a business solution are numerous and complex. To succeed, you need ways to reduce complexity without overlooking critical details. By abstracting—that is, representing complex areas of need or capability as "large" components—you can account for and capture their significance with manageable interfaces that do not overwhelm your analysis. You can then selectively explore the details of any large component as your needs dictate.
All those involved in the project—the project team, client management, end users, and client operations staff—need to have a common understanding of the big picture and what their role is in creating it. Clearly communicate the business's goals and objectives, the high-level vision of the final system, and how that system helps the business.
Identification of your position regarding operational excellence, customer intimacy, and product leadership. Determine how those values affect this project and the product you are building.
Articulate the values and objectives of the project itself as distinguished from the product that will be produced. For example, consider trade-offs, such as technology transfer versus speed of project completion or proof-of-technical concept versus delivery of business function. Once the project stance is articulated and accepted, make it a part of the baseline and follow it without compromise.
We articulate the values and objectives for the product that is built. For example, we consider trade-offs, such as system performance versus ease of use, system cost versus system function, short-term productivity versus long-term productivity, security versus performance and ease of use. Once a project stance is adopted, we make it a part of the baseline and follow it without compromise.
Establish a regular pattern of formal exhibition of progress to the you. This keeps you involved, uncovers major misunderstandings, and provides regular delivery events to help focus development team efforts. We demonstrate real system behavior as soon as there is anything to show.
We use iterative, short-cycle development, dividing the overall problem into smaller chunks that can be moved rapidly from modeling to a working prototype.
The increased use of the Internet as a solution delivery mechanism has introduced new issues and priorities in development projects. Here are highlights of specific areas that come to the fore when providing business solutions for Web-based delivery.
Interface design and overall visual imagery play an essential role in communicating your message and image. To ensure that the design reflects your requirements, time limits or price tags cannot be placed on the creative process. Visual design and user experience are key means for capturing and retaining audiences.
Most Web applications have a global reach, making organized training unrealistic. Usability goals on Web projects must aim at providing intuitive interfaces. Navigation and functionality of Web-based applications must be immediately apparent to the non-trained user.
Providing perfectly secure Internet applications cannot be accomplished without problems or without potentially causing user inconvenience. The security infrastructure must be carefully built to respond to your particular needs.
Clients who are new to Web applications typically have not resolved hosting issues. They will require guidance in making hosting decisions. It is important to understand the array of hosting options and the trade-offs associated with each.
In the Web environment you are under competitive pressure to go live with online solutions. Product companies focus on perfecting the solution sets they produce. For this reason, evaluation, integration, and customization of third-party components plays a major role.
Knowledge transfer can mean anything from providing standard project documentation, to mentoring your developers, to assisting in hiring and building an Internet services team for the client. Make sure that the extent of this endeavor is well-defined when scoping an engagement.

The Whites are knocked out of the FA Cup...

Leeds United were knocked out of the FA Cup once again in the third round, this time to West Ham away from home.
The Hammers almost struck first blood on 11 minutes when Declan Rice's cross broke for Jarrod Bowen as Leeds struggled to clear, with Luke Ayling saving the day on the goal line.
The Whites had a couple half-openings but didn't manage to create much before West Ham took the lead on 37 minutes. Antonio drifted into the left wing before firing a ball into Vlasic, who turned his man before Hjelde managed to recover with a sliding challenge, which ended up with Meslier and Vlasic diving in for the ball in a 50-50. Firpo tried to clear the ball away from danger, but it went straight into the path of Lanzini who stuck the ball in.
There was a long VAR check to deem if Jarrod Bowen, who was in an offside position, intervened with play when Meslier and Vlasic went for the ball. Despite clearly getting between the two, the goal was given.

Meslier was called into action again as half-time approached, with Fredericks getting on the end of Bowen's cross from the right, but the Leeds keeper was on-hand quickly to parry the ball away from goal.
Perhaps Leeds' biggest chance came on 88 minutes when Harrison's low cross from the left was missed by Dawson, falling into the path of Dan James. Unfortunately, the Welshman didn't have enough time to react and the ball hit him and went wide.
West Ham doubled their lead in added-time, countering from a Leeds corner, with Antonio going clean through on goal and finding Bowen to finish the game off.
Overall, a solid performance all-round from Leeds, but they struggled to create clear-cut chances. Leo Hjelde performed well on his debut, as did Lewis Bate. The performance was at least promising ahead of the rematch in The Premier League next week.

Q: Doctrine MongoDB ODM hydrates DBRef instead of Documents i'm trying to embed a set of EmbedDocument (points on the map) into a Document (a map), simple enough, this is my Document populated with one EmbedDocument
{ "_id" : ObjectId("54e59f081cf97091020041a9"), "title" : "test", "points" : [ { "_id" : ObjectId("54e59f081cf97091020041aa"), "description" : "bla", "lat" : 13.22, "lon" : 32.33 } ] }

fun fact the DocumentManager if asked returns the Map document with the EmbedDocument in a DBRef format and not as a Point document, so no matter if i touch/update the Map document, flushing it will lead the UnitOfWork to go nuts and throw "Warning: get_class() expects parameter 1 to be object, array given", fair enough, is that me or there's something wrong with the hydration or it must be handled my me in some nasty way?
p.s. i have a really simple metadata structure for the Documents

HVDC Converter Station Market
HVDC Converter Station Market - By Configuration (Monopolar, Multiterminal, Back to Back Station, Bipolar) By Technology (LCC-HVDC, VSC-HVDC) By Component (Valve, Converter Transformers, Harmonic Filters, Reactors, Circuit Breakers, Others) and Global Reg
Published on: Feb 2021
Report ID: KDMI-647
HVDC Converter Station Market to cross USD 52.4 Billion by 2023
The HVDC converter station market is expected to reach US$1.52 billion by 2025 from US$7.20 billion in 2019, at a CAGR of 7.5% during 2020-2025.
Electricity is mainly produced at large power plants and is then transferred at high voltages as high as 110kV or more to the substations that are situated at a long distance by the transmission lines. The high voltage current is later stepped down to the distribution network level around 11 kV or 415 V to distribute it to the consumers. The majority of the power plants generate electricity in AC form and later using the transformer's voltage can be stepped down easily.
For the transmission of power for shorter distances that are usually less than 100 km, AC transmissions are preferred. Sometimes, the use of HVAC transmission system is not possible for transmission of power over long transmission lines that are as long as 500 km and more. HVAC systems are not feasible in such instances due to higher transmission losses and voltage instability. HVAC systems' disadvantages are their current carrying capacity, reactive power loss, limitations on long distance transmission, Ferranti effect, and skin effect. To overcome these disadvantages, HVDC converters are used. HVDC transmission is mainly used to improve power transmission efficiency and to enhance the interconnection of asynchronous grids.
In the HVDC converter station, its converter transformer steps-up the generated AC voltage to the required level. The converter station receives electric power from a three-phase AC network and then rectifies it to DC, which is later transmitted through overhead lines. An inverter converts the DC voltage back to AC at receiving end, which is further stepped down to distribution voltage level at the consumer end. This technology is feasible and suitable for transmitting high power range between100-10,000MW. HVDC reduces overall costs and it also minimizes the losses. Moreover, other advantages of HVDC converter systems include controllability, and stability. HVDC system becomes are cost effective for larger distances.
According to the international atomic energy agency, at the end of 2019, around 443 nuclear power reactors were operational on the global scale, having their total installed power capacity of around 392 GW. In addition to the operational rectors, 54 reactors were under construction with a total capacity of 57 GW. They also observed that in comparison with 2018, overall electricity production from all the energy sources increased by 1.3% in 2019 and for nuclear power reactors, it increased about 4%, reaching 2657 TW. One of the major observation that needs to be underlined here is nuclear power generation accounted for almost 10.5% of overall electricity production in 2019.
The electricity demand is increasing globally continuously with increasing population. Growing demand for sustainable energy, demand for minimizing the GHG emissions & air pollution, and cost-effective carbon-free power supply is expected to increase HVDC converter stations' popularity. Moreover, the increase in the number of shore wind and government initiatives in the form of funds for renewable power sources drives the growth of the HVDC converter station market. Although the HVDC system minimizes the overall cost of the transmission, high initial cost, prolonged approval process for transmission projects, and transmission congestion, some factors might hinder market growth in coming years.
The market share of the HVDC converter station market is highest for Europe followed by the Asia-Pacific region. In Asia-Pacific, the market is primarily driven by India and China. India and China are the major economies in Asia-pacific that have a huge demand for power transmission systems. Owing to the world's highest populated region, Asia-Pacific has the highest number of installed HVDC converter stations due to the requirement of bulk power transport. In addition to the most number of installed converter stations, China also has a strong presence of local players such as C-EPRI and NR Electric and helping the country meet its requirement of UHVDC projects. Moreover, China is also planning to connect various power grids to a central line in coming years, this development is expected to drive the market for HVDC converter stations during the forecast time period. According to Indian government's body NCBI's report in 2019, HVDC transmission can offer lucrative advantages in the grid electricity business. The studies have underlined that national HVDC overlay will be cost-effective towards de-carbonization, enhance resilience & reliability in the grid, and offer interregional stability. All these factors will provide lucrative opportunities in the growth of the HVDC converter station market.
The HVDC converter stations market is segmented on the basis of type, technology, and application, and region. On the basis of type, the market is sub segmented into
monopolar, BI-polar, back-to-back, and multi-terminal. On the basis of technology, the market is bifurcated into voltage source converters (VSC), line commutated converters (LSC). On the application basis, the market is divided into remote loads and powering islands, connecting wind forms, underground power links, bulk power transmissions, interconnecting networks, long-distance transmission via cables, grid access for offshore applications, and oil gas platforms.
Leading players in the HVDC converter station market include Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Nissin Electric Co Ltd, ABB Ltd., General Electric Company, Siemens AG, Crompton Greaves Ltd., Toshiba Corporation, C-EPRI Electric Power Engineering Co. Ltd, NE Electric, Alstom, and Hitachi Ltd.

The effects of tooth loss can be felt in more than just your smile. Missing teeth can also make it more difficult to bite and chew food, enunciate your words properly, and uphold your surrounding facial structures as time goes by. With the right prosthetic option, however, you can make tooth loss a thing of the past and once again enjoy a beautiful, healthy, youthful smile. A dental bridge is recommended for patients who've only lost a single tooth, or a few teeth in a row. The replacement teeth are supported by dental crowns that are bonded to the healthy remaining teeth nearby. A partial denture can be designed for patients with several missing teeth that aren't adjacent to each other, with replacement teeth fitting comfortably and securely around those that remain. Patients who've lost all of their teeth on their upper or lower dental ridges can rebuild their smiles with custom full dentures, which consist of entire rows of custom-made replacement teeth.
If you've lost one, several, most, or all of your teeth, then rebuilding your smile with a dental bridge or denture can help you regain the full function of your bite. To find out which option is right for you, schedule a visit by calling our dental office in Del Mar, California, today at 858-755-0187.

Q: Altering table's unique field I have a table which has an unique key with 2 constraints in it. I want to alter the table such that i can remove one of the constraint in unique field there.
My current db schema :
CREATE TABLE testtable(test1 TEXT, test2 TEXT, test3 TEXT, test4 TEXT DEFAULT FALSE,UNIQUE (test1,test2))
I already have this table populated with data and do not want to drop and recreate this table in my next release. Is there a way to alter the table's unique field. I did not set a constraint for my this table.
I want my database schema to be like this after update.
CREATE TABLE testtable(test1 TEXT, test2 TEXT, test3 TEXT, test4 TEXT DEFAULT FALSE,UNIQUE (test1))

A: In other DBMSes you would have used ALTER TABLE DROP CONSTRAINT .... However sqlite only supports the RENAME TABLE and ADD COLUMN variants of the ALTER TABLE command (Source).
Therefore, I'm afraid you'd have to create a new table:
CREATE TABLE testtable2(
   test1 TEXT, test2 TEXT, test3 TEXT, test4 TEXT DEFAULT FALSE,
   UNIQUE (test1)
);

Then insert the data from the old table to the new table:
INSERT INTO testtable2 SELECT * FROM testtable;

Then you can drop the old table:
DROP TABLE testtable;

And finally rename the new table to the original name:
ALTER TABLE testtable2 RENAME TO testtable;

UPDATE:
Be careful that your new constraint will be less permissive. For example if you had the following rows in your original table:
test1       test2       test3       test4
----------  ----------  ----------  ----------
a           a           100         1
a           b           200         2
a           c           300         3

Then the INSERT INTO testtable2 SELECT * FROM testtable; would fail because test1 is not unique:
SQL error: column test1 is not unique

Electronic Thesis/Dissertation
Lived Experiences and Perceptions on Mentoring Among Latina Scientists and Engineers Open Access
The purpose of this qualitative study was to reveal the lived mentoring experiences of Latinas in science and engineering. The study also sought to understand how Latina scientists and engineers achieved high-level positions within their organizations and the impediments they encountered along their professional journey. The theoretical framework for this study sought a transcendental phenomenological view with an interpretive perspective that is an interpretive paradigm. Utilizing a phenomenological approach, rich descriptive data were collected to obtain a better understanding of how the study participants achieved successful careers and whether mentoring was a contributing factor. Eight Latinas scientists and engineers were obtained using a purposeful participant selection method.In-depth interviews, coding, analysis, and careful interpretation resulted in eight major themes. These particular themes revealed common traits and characteristics that these participants shared that made them successful: (a) Trailblazer; (b) Passion and Belief; (c) Support and Encouragement; (d) Networking; (e) Goal-Oriented; (f) Mentoring Type (Grooming, Networking, and E-mentoring); (g) Criticality of Mentoring; and (h) Luck and Opportunities. These eight themes contributed to the participants' professional development and success.The results revealed that (a) it is important to have multiple mentors at all levels; (b) various types of mentoring can be equally effective; (c) mentoring can be critical to an individual's success; (d) the support and encouragement of mentors is essential, both personally and professionally; and (e) mentoring relationships should not be forced, that they should be a mutual agreement in which both the mentor and the mentee willingly and enthusiastically participate. The findings suggest that implementing mentoring programs would have positive implications on the Latina population and that this may encourage them to pursue careers in science and engineering.Recommendations for this study focused on establishing and formalizing mentoring programs, attracting more Latinas to careers in science and engineering, and the need for further research. This study has implications for the future development of mentoring programs for Latinas in science and engineering.

Now he has trapped Xunchuan on the locked Sendai on the top of Tianchi Lake, and let Xunchuan bear the pain of washing the marrow of the water of Tianchi Lake, the pain of thunder and lightning, and even cut off one of his dragon horns and stripped off his keel. Obviously, it is a way to lead you into the urn. He's seducing her. Send her to the door. Even if she already knew that this was a conspiracy, a conspiracy against her and Xunchuan, she would follow it without hesitation. The endless years of waiting and searching have smoothed all her edges and corners. She just wanted to see him, even if it was a glance, this life has been fulfilled. She walked alone across the bridge, and occasionally, when she had leisure, she walked aimlessly in the wilderness, looking at the various scenes he had said and she had heard. It was the place where he had promised to accompany her, but even if the scenery was beautiful, it was still lonely. She had no place to express her bitterness and grievance, no place to vent her anger and hatred, and it seemed that she had finally found an outlet. Even if what awaits her is the endless cold water of Tianchi Lake, the pain of washing the marrow; even if what awaits her is the dragnet woven by the people she once knew and knew; even if what waits for her is reincarnation from generation to generation, and her soul is destroyed,38 tube fitting, she will seek justice for herself. She just wants to see, this heaven, how to do with her! The wind blows through the mountain forest, and the bamboo shadows whirl in the forest. A woman was sitting on the jade just now, and there was nothing else except two drops of blood on the jade wall that had cut the palm of her hand. Everything was quiet, and no one noticed that the broken jade had quietly absorbed the two dazzling red drops of blood. It is no accident that jade turns into spirit. Chapter 75 There are nine skies in the sky. The top of the Tianchi Lake stands on the Nine Heavens. Apart from the Lingxiao Palace and the residence of the Jade Emperor and his wife, there are few traces of immortals in the Nine Heavens. Even the top of Tianchi Lake, which has always been known as the first viewing platform in the fairy world,hydraulic fitting supplier, rarely has immortals passing by. There are tides in the sea, and there is a saying that the tide rises and falls in Tianchi. It is one of the major tourist attractions in the whole fairy world. It's the water in the pool. It has a little temper, and it's a little difficult to deal with. The water of Tianchi has the effect of moistening all things, such as the most noble grass in the world, which can not survive anywhere, only the bank of Tianchi is the only place for them to survive. Of course, Huiyuan, the divine grass growing next to the Jade Pool. It's a little weird and a little different. But apart from these fragile flowers and plants, it is like a hacksaw to anyone in the three realms, touching it like a saw bone, which is painful. Therefore, to deal with the immortals who have committed heinous crimes, the Jade Emperor usually sends them to the Lock Sendai on the top of Tianchi Lake. Or let Lei Gong Dian Mu give a small punishment, brass tube fitting ,14 needle valve, or use the water of Tianchi to wash the marrow into the mortal world, not to mention other punishment methods. That is to say, the smoke of the war between gods and demons has been burning for thousands of years. The top of the pool has long been in vain. There are not enough people to kill the enemy. Even if you make a mistake, you will only be sent to the battlefield. You can be a vanguard or a death squad. Anyway, you can't waste your head. As a result, the top of the Tianchi Lake, which was almost deserted, was opened again because of the great dragon God Xunchuan in the war between gods and demons, which shocked the whole three realms. When the Jade Emperor was carried from his wife's bed to the Lingxiao Palace by his subordinate Aiqing, the whole immortal body was not very good. Perhaps it was because the immortal body was so ill that it was too subtle and obscure, and several Aiqing, who usually had a lot of eyes, all suffered from eye diseases and turned a blind eye to them. The Barefoot Immortal was so angry that he couldn't help stamping his feet: "I thought it was inappropriate when Lord Xian Yi sealed the Dragon Lord of Xunchuan. This time he acted even more arrogantly. Although he is the only descendant of the Protoss, how can he go beyond His Majesty's authority to imprison the Dragon Lord on the top of Tianchi Lake, lock him on Sendai, and use lynching.." When the words fell, he took a proper look at the Jade Emperor. The eyes that want to speak and stop, only to move a "Your Majesty, you are so weak" to the table. The Jade Emperor looked away with some heart and looked at yuanshi Tianzun. yuanshi Tianzun respectfully bowed his hand to the Jade Emperor and said, "That's what I think. During the war between gods and demons, Xunchuan Longjun was the greatest contributor. It was criticized that he was not rewarded.".
Just because of a prophecy of Xian Yi Shen Jun, he sealed Long Jun privately. Where is Xian Yi Shen Jun to Your Majesty? I was a little narrow-minded. I wondered if it was because I was afraid that Longjun would replace his prestige in the future. He could no longer do whatever he wanted to be unreasonable to Longjun. The Jade Emperor is a little upset. yuan Shi Tianzun just pointed at his nose and scolded him for his incompetence. Feng Bo is old, his eyes are dim, and even his hearing is not so good. After the room was quiet for a moment, he said, "Your Majesty, I thought that no matter how big the matter was, it was because Your Majesty gave the order.". It's one thing to give face, but it's one thing not to let people ride on your head. Your Majesty, you have changed so much since you married your wife. Feng Bo rolled his beard and squinted at the Jade Emperor sitting at the head. Without receiving any kind reminder from his companions, as well as the cough that would soon shake the whole heaven, he continued to scold the "evil deeds" of the Jade Emperor. The jade emperor's face is green. Although he was the Jade Emperor, there was a string God in front of him, and behind him came a dragon king from Xunchuan, who also wanted to give him some thin noodles. Speaking of these two gods, he actually likes to see them. It's better for both sides to lose, so that he can sit firmly on the throne and no one can tell him what to do any more. It's just that he can't say these things in his heart. Feng Bo was still in the crooked building, and the heavenly soldier in charge of the lookout outside the door suddenly came in, and a kneeling ceremony directly lay on the ground. The Jade Emperor raised his forehead and sighed, but his face was still serious. "Why are you so flustered?" The new heavenly soldier scrambled to his feet, straightened his heavy helmet and quickly replied, "Your Majesty, the Jade Pool Fairy grabbed the Demon Sword and went all the way to the top of the Tianchi Lake." "It's just that Shaohuan grabbed the Demon Sword and went to Tianchi." Wait The Jade Emperor, who was still somewhat confused,14 tube fitting, suddenly came to his senses. Angrily, he threw his hand at the armrest of the chair, which was inlaid with all kinds of round beads. There was a loud bang. Several ministers standing in the hall tacitly looked away and could not bear to look at the red and white faces of the Jade Emperor at this time. How painful it is to clap so many vulgar beads. chinaroke.com

Topics explaining how game engines render an artist's artwork.
Rendering for games usually means the scene has to be rendered in real-time, in response to the player changing the 3D world.
In real-time rendering, the scene needs to be re-rendered very quickly, at least 30 frames per second (fps). Rendering techniques for games are speedy hacks, they are "close enough" to create good results, without taking minutes or hours to render each frame.
Rendering for games is constantly evolving, as new consumer hardware gets faster and faster, allowing graphics programmers to implement ever-better rendering features. Games are increasingly adding rendering techniques that were once only used for non-real-time special effects rendering in movies and commercials.
