Rockfall at Zion National Park the latest in a string of trail closures and other issues
Lexi Peery
Over the weekend, a rockfall near Weeping Rock trail at Zion National Park injured three visitors, closing the trail. There have been several trail closures in the park recently due to rockfall and storm damage.
A visitor managed to catch a video of the rockfall and posted it to Facebook.
Zion spokesperson Aly Baltrus said the rockfall at Weeping Rock was substantial — with some parts of the trail buried in 20 feet of sand and debris. But Baltrus said it could have been a lot worse if the entire area was open to visitors.
"Thankfully, when it occurred, the East Rim trail was closed due to a completely separate rockfall in January," Baltrus said. "We were planning on having work start on that trail later this week. That has been postponed indefinitely for now."
Here are the latest updates on trail closures in the park:
Weeping Rock trail (and shuttle stop #7)
Upper Emerald Pools Trail
Hidden Canyon
Observation Point (from Weeping Rock)
Kayenta trail (after 0.8 miles)
Visiting the park
The rockfall happened just days before Labor Day — the park's second busiest weekend of the year. Baltrus said that since the Weeping Rock region will be completely closed, visitors should expect crowds and lines in other areas of the park.
"We are bringing in extra people to help with the crowding, but there aren't a lot of places to push people, it's not like we can open up a new section of the park," Baltrus said for those planning to visit the park over the weekend. "We ask people to have patience … [Also] we're supposed to have hotter weather than normal, so bring extra water and food."
The shuttle will be running and will just bypass the Weeping Rock trail. As for when Weeping Rock trail and the East Rim be open? Baltrus said the area will be closed for the foreseeable future as the damage is assessed.
It's hard to predict when and where rockfalls happen, but Baltrus said rangers are monitoring rock activity throughout the park to keep visitors safe.
"The park was created by rockfalls. This isn't unusual, it's just unusual because there could have been so many people there," Baltrus said. "It's geology at work. Unfortunately, it came down in a normally heavily populated area … But [rockfalls] could come down today or in a couple hundred years, it's very hard to predict."
Recent rockfalls and flooding
The Weeping Rock closure is just the latest in a long string of recent issues at the park, with atypical weather patterns over the past year leading to problems with rockfalls and flooding.
Earlier this month, the park closed the popular Angels Landing trail so work crews could repair some of the posts that hold support chains hikers use to climb 1,500 feet to the top. The protective chains, which give hikers a handhold as they scamper across narrow areas that sometimes have 1,000-foot dropoffs on either side, closed for two days.
In March, a rockslide fell on the switchbacks beneath the Zion-Mount Carmel tunnel, forcing a days-long closure of state Route 9, the scenic highway that crosses east-west through the park. Several hiking trails were also closed, including the Canyon Overlook Trail and the Keyhole, Pine Creek, Fat Man's Misery and Lodge Canyons trails. Officials attributed the rockfall to a rainy winter season that saw some 10 inches of precipitation between October and March, about four times as much as the 2.8 inches that were recorded the year before.
Last August, a helicopter was required to pull a group of hikers out after a rockfall on the Hidden Canyon trail, a winding course that climbs up the towering red rock cliffs just a few miles from the park's main entrance. Nine visitors were trapped temporarily, although no injuries were reported.
Last July, three separate sets of closures were announced after rockslides and floods hit the park during a series of thunderstorms. Hidden Canyon Trail was closed, as were the Upper Emerald Pools and Kayenta trails and a portion of the West Rim Trail. The same storm forced another closure of the Zion-Mount Carmel Highway, with mudslides covering the roadway and leaving some motorists stranded for hours.

"The Society for Door Step Schools" was established in Mumbai, India in 1989 with the aim of addressing illiteracy amongst the marginalized sections of society. The school provides education and support to the often-forgotten children of pavement and slum dwellers, construction site families and many other underprivileged families. Many of these children are not enrolled in school and have limited access to books and a place to study. Additionally, many of these children are forced to drop out of school to work or care for younger children. With neither support nor resources at home these children too often suffer from very low learning levels. At Door Step School, we are trying to bridge this gap by bringing education to the "Doorstep" of these underprivileged children.

Going My Way – 1944 McCarey
Like Make Way For Tomorrow– another well-acted tearjerker
The biggest movie of 1944– #1 box office and won a whopping seven Oscars (including all the big ones—picture, director, actor, supporting actor, screenplay, song)
Barry Fitzgerald hilarious as the stodgy old priest, and Bing Crosby's easy charm and affability is a smooth as it gets. The rest of the ensemble is good as well. Gene Lockhart and Porter Hall- so reliable- they'd show up again together as villains of sorts in Miracle on 34th Street. Porter Hall as an angry atheist- haha. The kids in the choir here are like a variation on the Dead End kids game in the 1930's Warners films
Leo McCarey's direction is upspecial—he has a trademark (a bad one) of throwing in a casual wipe edit once in a while for no reason
This is more trivia than evaluation here but Fitzgerald was nominated for lead and supporting actor for the same performance- wild
McCarey's shrewdly works the songs into the story naturally. Bing starts a boys choir to keep the gang out of trouble, the young girl in trouble wants to be a singer, his old friend is in the Carmen opera, he sings a lullaby to Fitzgerald (which works as a good scene somehow- testament to McCarey and the actors)
In the movie the record company says "nobody is buying schmaltz" — ironic a little with the nature of this very sentimental film
Within the film there's this little short scene about Lockhart's son going off to war that is great and the reunion with Fitzgerald's mother at the end before Bing walks off into the sunset like an angel who has accomplished his mission won't leave anyone with a dry eye either
Recommend but not in the top 10 of 1944

Why do some priests wear violet at funerals, while others wear white or black?
Each liturgical color emphasizes a different aspect of death.
When conducting a Catholic funeral, the priest has three options regarding the color of vestments he wears. This is stated clearly in the General Instruction of the Roman Missal.
346. Besides the color violet, the colors white or black may be used at funeral services and at other Offices and Masses for the Dead in the Dioceses of the United States of America.
Each color has its own specific meaning associated with the sacred funeral rite.
The color violet is most often associated with Lent and Advent. The reason it is worn at funerals is because of its symbolic meaning of penance and mourning. A funeral is a time when the faithful are called to pray and do penance for the departed soul, and the color violet reminds them of that spiritual aspect.
ALSO SEE: A Special Prayer for Spiritual or Temporal Favour from God
Usually worn on occasions of joy in the Church's liturgical year, white transmits a more hopeful character at funerals. It recalls the hope of eternal life and celebrates the Christian Baptism that the deceased received during his/her life. White is also connected to Jesus' victory at Easter, when he defeated death and opened the gates of heavenly glory. In Asian cultures, white is the traditional color of mourning, so Asian-American Catholics may request white vestments for this reason.
ALSO SEE: Ask Mary and Jesus for a Miracle this New Month
More commonly seen before the reforms of Vatican II, black is still a valid option for funerals and is worn by some priests. Black has been associated with mourning since ancient Rome and traditionally symbolizes death. It is a color that symbolizes darkness and reflects the sadness of death. The color also emphasizes the fact that the deceased is in need of prayers and may not be in the beatific vision of heaven, but in the purifying abode of purgatory.

[ARCHIVED] Suffolk Supervisors: New Discovery Law Handcuffs Quality of Life Enforcement
Facing delays in enforcement and growing caseloads due to over-burdened courts, the Suffolk County Supervisors Association, led by Chairman and Babylon Town Supervisor Rich Schaffer, came together to call on members of the New York State Assembly and Senate to pass legislation that would allow townships to adjudicate its own code enforcement cases, as well as reinstate anonymity for complainants. With townships setting up their own adjudication bureaus, the backlogged district courts would no longer be responsible for these cases.
Proposed by Assemblyman Fred Thiele and Senator Jim Gaughran, Assembly Bill 9108 and Senate Bill 7122 would provide townships with the authority to prosecute ordinance cases involving squatters, unsafe structures and other quality-of-life related issues. In addition, by allowing complainants to remain anonymous once again, residents will be able to report concerns in their community without worrying about retribution from neighbors.
"The strenuous mandate from the state in regard to the new discovery law has severely harmed our ability to enforce our own laws, placing an unreasonable burden on those who process complaints from our residents," said Babylon Town Supervisor Rich Schaffer. "Towns need to be free to do what needs to done to protect the quality-of-life of our residents and have the ability prosecute those who violate our local laws without having to wait for the district courts to catch up. I thank Assemblyman Thiele and Senator Gaughran for taking swift action on this and hope that their colleagues in the legislature see that reform is needed."
Currently, state law allows municipalities with populations between 300,000 and 350,000 residents, as well as cities such as Syracuse and Yonkers and the Town of Huntington, the authority to establish administrative tribunals to streamline the adjudication of local code and ordinance violations. The legislation proposed by Assemblyman Thiele and Senator Gaughran would extend the ability to create such administrative bodies to all municipalities across the state of New York, no matter the population size. This change would recognize that the prosecution of local and criminal laws require two different approaches, with local municipalities being most qualified to handle the former due to their understanding of their own codes and the unique dynamics of their the communities covered by them.
The enforcement of quality of life issues relies upon anonymous complaints from neighbors and concerned citizens. The discovery law as it currently stands removes this tool, stating that the identities and contact information of the complainant must be disclosed at or within 15 days of arraignment – no matter how minor the violation. This can discourage reporting of sometimes life-threatening violations or escalate neighbor disputes, as well as result in complainants being called as witnesses in any resulting trial.
Town of Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine: "The Discovery Law changes adopted by New York State last year, without input from local governments, have resulted in a number of challenges in enforcing local ordinances. Clearly, they should have only affected crimes that are under the penal code, and not quality of life and other local codes. While Brookhaven is complying with the law, it has come at the expense of financial and manpower resources, and a loss of efficiency in addressing some complaints by our residents. I want to thank Assemblyman Thiele and Senator Gaughran for taking an important first step in correcting some of the deficiencies in these new laws. I hope the Governor and legislature further repeal these 'reforms' which have had significant unintended consequences impacting our residents."
Town of Islip Supervisor Angie Carpenter: "Our residents deserve to know that their Town is actively involved in enforcing the laws that maintain their quality-of-life and work to keep them safe. They should not be burdened with deciding whether to report a violation or face potential retribution, something current discovery laws make a legitimate concern. This proposal by Assemblyman Thiele and Senator Gaughran is exactly the type of common sense reform those who entrust us with the duty to govern expect to see, and I implore the New York State Assembly and Senate to see this as well."
Town of Huntington Supervisor Chad Lupinacci: "The State's changes to the discovery process amounted to a burdensome, unfunded mandate, adding layers of bureaucracy for local governments seeking to resolve code violations, restore public safety and improve quality of life for our residents. The Town of Huntington is fortunate enough to have had the State approve legislation enabling us to create the first Bureau of Administrative Adjudication, or tribunal for Town Code violations, on Long Island. Huntington's tribunal, which we expect to be operational by spring, will not be subject to the State's new discovery obligations, so residents in Huntington will be able to once again report code violations anonymously while the Town will be able to resolve these matters faster and more efficiently. I urge our legislators and governor to repeal the law as written and grant these other Towns the same opportunity given to the Town of Huntington."
Town of Riverhead Supervisor Yvette Aguiar: "Local Town Codes and ordinances should NOT be held to the same discovery standards as the NYS penal law. Therefore, I request modification to the Reform Bill discovery stipulation requirement to exclude local town enforcement codes. Failure to do so will adversely affect our Towns and villages' ability to manage code violations and quality of life crimes. As a former law enforcement officer, I can speak directly to the profound negative impact fear of reporting quality of life violations could have on our community. We also need to protect witnesses, complainants and local residents who may fall victim to Reform Bill discovery efforts."
Town of Southold Supervisor Scott Russell: "The new discovery law handcuffs a Town's ability to perform its most basic and critical functions-safeguarding the health safety and welfare of its residents. The law unnecessarily and unreasonably burdens a Town's ability to enforce its own local ordinances. It also has the chilling effect of discouraging residents from reporting a broad spectrum of violations ranging from threats to human health and safety to quality of life violations out of fear of having their name made public for simply reporting a violation. The State must take immediate action to reinstate anonymity in reporting violations of local ordinances."
Town of Smithtown Supervisor Ed Wehrheim: "While we spent a great deal of time and resources adhering to the new discovery laws, allowing for anonymity is the single most essential component for our residents. Many of whom will stay silent and compromise their own quality of life, and welfare for fear of retribution from neighbors."

It pays to have friends who are insanely talented. Case in point… I took a picture at this years DragonCon that I was really pleased with. The lighting hit just right and I got a great shot. My only problem was a few stray people in the shot. I posted it on FaceBook with a lament that I wish I could get rid of the people.
And the rest of the photos….

Sources of information on returning to education
Many people including early school leavers, unemployed people and those who want to retrain for a new job may be interested in returning to education on a full-time or part-time basis. If you are interested in returning to education, there are a number of organisations and resources where you can get information about the courses available to you.
Education and Training Boards (ETBs) are the main providers of adult education, through local schools and colleges. (Vocational Educational Committees (VECs) were replaced by Education and Training Boards (ETBs) on 1 July 2013.) Community education groups offer a variety of courses, catering for learners at all levels. Third-level colleges provide a wide range of courses too.
In 2014, the FÁS training division (including FÁS courses) transferred to the 16 Education and Training Boards (ETBs) which replaced VECs.
Adult Educational Guidance Services
The Adult Educational Guidance Services (AEGS) are managed by the 16 ETBs.
The ETB AEGS are a free and confidential service available nationwide providing impartial careers and education information, one-to-one guidance and group guidance, which help adults who wish to return to education and training, or are already registered on an FET programme within the ETBs to make informed educational, career and life choices.
National Centre for Guidance in Education
The National Centre for Guidance in Education (NCGE) is an agency of the Department of Education and Skills. Its role is to support and develop guidance practice in all areas of education such as schools, colleges and adult education and to inform the policy of the Department in the field of guidance. NGCE is not a guidance service for learners but as a host of the Euroguidance Centre for Ireland it provides advice and information to people who wish to study or train in another EU country.
AONTAS
AONTAS (the Irish National Association of Adult Education) promotes adult education and lifelong learning. AONTAS operates an information and referral service which aims to make the adult learner's first encounter with education as easy as possible.
AONTAS provides the One Step Up website to help all adults to enhance their learning by promoting access to learning opportunities. It provides a freephone helpline, answers to frequently asked questions and a calendar of learning events.
National Adult Literacy Agency
The National Adult Literacy Agency (NALA) is a voluntary organisation that aims to ensure all adults with literacy difficulties have access to high quality learning opportunities. NALA can help you to improve your reading, writing or maths. You can learn with NALA in a group, one-to-one, online or over the phone.

When the Philadelphia Eagles claimed their first Super Bowl championship on Sunday, their franchise quarterback Carson Wentz wasn't brought up onto the podium for the interviews broadcast on the stadium screens. He did not partake in the postgame confetti snow angels.
After eight seasons in football hell, Chris Long is just four quarters away from hoisting the Lombardi Trophy for the second year in a row. But,[url=http://www.dolphinsfootballauthentic.com/ryan-tannehill-jersey-authentic]Authentic Ryan Tannehill Jersey[/url], he insisted Thursday that he is no more responsible for his good fortune now than he was those playoff-less 2-14 and 1-15 and 6-10 and 7-9 seasons with the St. Louis Rams.
Not quite. A year ago, maybe you could make a case that Long was mostly along for the ride when he won a Super Bowl with the Patriots,[url=http://www.dolphinsfootballauthentic.com/jay-ajayi-jersey-authentic]Authentic Jay Ajayi Jersey[/url], who just happen to be the Eagles' opponent on Feb. 4 in Super Bowl LII.
But not this season. This season, he's been an important part of the Eagles' defensive success as an edge-rusher in Jim Schwartz's wide-nine, 4-3 scheme. He tied for third on the team in sacks with five and was second in pressures with 38. He also had a team-high four forced fumbles.
Long is a natural 4-3 end who was used a lot inside in the Patriots' multiple fronts. He played 65 percent of the defensive snaps last year. But his playing time dropped off significantly in the post season.
"I'm just lucky to have played for him for a year,'' Long said of Patriots coach Bill Belichick. "When you play for a guy who's that awesome a coach,[url=http://www.dolphinsfootballauthentic.com/jay-ajayi-jersey-authentic]Womens Jay Ajayi Jersey[/url], you look at football different. I learned a lot from him.

2 Shoreham Air Show Plane Crash From A Distance Away
A plane crashed and caused several casualties at an air show in Brighton, on England's south coast, emergency services said on Saturday.
The aircraft hit several cars on a main road, the A27, to the north of Shoreham airport, where the Shoreham Air Show is taking place, police said. It happened at around 1:20 pm (0820 ET).
"There have been several casualties but we have no further information on these at the moment," Sussex Police said in a statement.
Shoreham Air Show said on Twitter there had been a "major incident" and that emergency services were responding.
Media reports say the plane was a Hawker Hunter fighter jet, a type that dates from the 1950s, and that its pilot was pulled from burning wreckage.

Abstract: Singapore faces several water management challenges because of its urbanized environment, and these problems include elevated nutrient and sediment concentrations, as well as quick and high peak runoff discharges during a storm event. The Active, Beautiful and Clean (ABC) Waters programme was implemented to help solve these problems. Effective removal of pollutants by ABC Waters projects can help to decrease the amount of problems associated with urban runoff. In this thesis, an ABC Waters project that underwent river restoration, the Kallang River at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park (BAMKP) was studied. Water samples from the river and drain inlets feeding the river were collected and analysed to understand the nutrient and sediment levels in the BAMKP catchment, as well as to find out how efficiently a completed ABC Waters project removed pollutants in both baseflow and storm conditions. Nutrients and sediments (NO2,3, NH3, TN, PO4, TP, TSS) in water samples were analysed. Data from this study found that the drain inlets contributed a large proportion of nutrient loading into the Kallang River in BAMKP, with runoff from urban residential areas having the highest concentrations of nutrients. The overall removal efficiencies of this ABC Waters project were found to be 9.4% for nitrogen and 40.2% for phosphorus during baseflow conditions and -17% for nitrogen and 25% for phosphorus during storm events, with larger storms having lower removal efficiencies than smaller storms. This is a cause for concern as the ABC Waters design guidelines aim for a removal efficiency of 45% for each of nitrogen and phosphorus respectively.

NASA prepares for twin moon probe launch while Hurricane Irene rages
By Julius Motal 08.25.2011 :: 8:16AM EST 08.25.2011
Hurricane Irene is growing in power as it moves up the east coast. The first of the Atlantic hurricane season, Irene is currently east of Florida at the time of this writing. While the storm rages, NASA is moving forward unabated with preparations for the September 8 launch of the GRAIL mission.
Current forecasts put Irene 190 miles east of the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) at 4:00 AM Friday, August 26. Irene could possibly saddle KSC with one to three inches of rain and winds up to 50mph, but these conditions pose little threat to the space center. NASA spokesman Allard Beutel said that the space center will remain open through the storm.
The GRAIL mission aims to analyze and map out the moon's interior. With a bill of $496 million, GRAIL will launch with two probes that will circle the moon at a low orbit of 34 miles. The distance between the probes will change as they move because of gravitational differences. The distance changes will then be used by scientists to determine the moon's gravitational field. It is this knowledge that will help scientists understand the moon's structure.
The probes are able to calculate the distance changes with amazing precision. The margin of error is a human blood cell. The shuttle program may have died, but NASA is on point with this.
Knowledge of the moon's structure will help scientists extrapolate its evolutionary history. Our knowledge of the universe is small, but growing. The moon is a good start.
NASA has plans to launch a rover to Mars in late November. The rover, dubbed Curiosity, is the size of a small corner, and will analyze Mars' surface as it drives. Curiosity will land in the Gale crater.
The planets are starting to feel a lot closer. Where do you want NASA to go next?

Signing Patrick Corbin doesn't mean the Nationals are done with Bryce Harper. But it is one more sign that they're more than prepared for life without him.
To be perfectly clear, Corbin isn't a power-hitting outfielder like Harper. He's a starting pitcher, and a pretty darned good one at that. In fact, he's widely considered to be this offseason's premier free-agent starter. Or at least he was -- until the Nats snapped him up, reportedly agreeing to terms on a six-year deal worth $140 million that will partner the 2018 All-Star with fellow filth-bringers Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg at the top of the rotation.
Leading up to this winter's much-anticipated Harper's Bazaar (perhaps you've heard that the former MVP is officially a free agent now), the thinking was that Washington had two choices: Either ante up history-making money to keep the face of the franchise in D.C., or let him walk away and instead earmark those gargantuan gobs of green for other areas of need. Like catcher. And the bullpen. And a starter or two. And maybe a first and/or second baseman while they're at it.
Since the end of the regular season, GM Mike Rizzo has been a busy man, as the Nationals have acquired catchers Yan Gomes and Kurt Suzuki, as well as relievers Trevor Rosenthal and Kyle Barraclough. Although each of those deals was suggestive of a team that wasn't about to wait around for Harper to make up his mind, the monetary magnitude of them -- together, those four vets will earn around $20 million next season -- didn't seem to preclude the Nats from making a legit run at Harper. But the Corbin signing somehow feels different. Way different.
Could the Lerner family still back up the Brinks truck to keep Harper in the nation's capital? Absolutely. But in order to do so, they'd have to go over the luxury tax threshold, and not by a little. Although the luxury tax is right up there with quarterback rating when it comes to esoteric sports math computations, it appears that by adding Corbin and his average annual contract value of around $23 million, the Nats' luxury taxable payroll is currently in the neighborhood of $190 million. Considering that Harper reportedly rejected an offer from Washington that would have paid him $30 million a season (10 years, $300M), it would cost more than $30 million annually and would likely push their payroll (again, for luxury-tax purposes) into the $220-230 million range, if the Nats end up re-signing their star right fielder. That's well above next year's luxury tax limit ($206M), and that doesn't even include any other roster additions that the Nats might make between now and Opening Day.
All that said, it's worth noting that the luxury tax isn't quite the big bad bogeyman that folks make it out to be. The first year that a team goes over the threshold, they're taxed 20 percent, but only on the part of the payroll that exceeds the limit. If the same team goes over a second consecutive year, like the Nationals supposedly did last season, they're taxed 30 percent on the overage. If a club exceeds the threshold for a third straight season, the tax jumps to 50 percent -- but again, it's only on the overage (easy for me to say "only"). So let's say the Nats do sign Harper and wind up with $230 million in effective payroll for the 2019 season. They'd have to fork over an extra $12 million on top of that (50 percent of the amount by which they exceeded the $206M limit).
Does $12 million sound like a lot of money? To me it does, and probably to you, too. To the Lerners, who knows? Maybe to them, $12 million is simply a surcharge -- the cost of doing business to re-sign a superstar who's going to continue to put butts in the seats for years to come. Of course, depending on what happens after next season, it might become more than a one-time surcharge. If the Nats sign Harper and continue to spend big after that, they'll be luxury tax regulars. If they plunk down big dollars to keep third baseman Anthony Rendon in town beyond his current contract, there's a decent chance they'll be getting surcharged year after year for the foreseeable future. If, on the other hand, they're able to pare down payroll and get below the luxury tax threshold in the near term, then retaining Harper won't be quite as costly.
In the meantime, as evidenced by the Corbin signing, the Nationals don't seem particularly concerned with saving up. Maybe that's because they're prepared to live with a very livable outfield that features youngsters Juan Soto and Victor Robles to go along with veteran sparkplug Adam Eaton. Because they're ready for life without Bryce Harper.
Then again, maybe it's because they're prepared to spend however much it takes to keep him.

5 Positions Which Must Be in a Six Sigma Team
December 6, 2020 December 9, 2020 Leanie Louw Six Sigma
Six Sigma is a team sport. As any free Six Sigma course will tell you, no Six Sigma project could be executed using the best Six Sigma approach or Six Sigma method if it is not executed as a Six Sigma team. A Six Sigma team lies at the heart of any Six Sigma project. A 6-Sigma team consists of members from the executive leadership committee of a company, a champion, Six Sigma Master Black Belts, Six Sigma Black Belts and Six Sigma Green Belts. Green Belt training is necessary to participate in a Six Sigma project on the most basic level.
Let's have a look at the structure of a team. We would also try to understand their scope of duties in brief.
Six Sigma Team Executive Decision Makers
Top executives of an organization or the leadership council consisting of leaders in the business. These people lead change initiatives across the organization. This group plans and executes the Six Sigma implementation plan. It is important that executive decision-makers are part of the Six Sigma team. Buy-in is a huge challenge in Six Sigma projects. Someone has to see the problem and recognize that fixing the problem will have a great return on investment. This person needs to be on the executive committee of the company to ensure that the Six Sigma project gets the necessary resources to complete the project.
6-Sigma Team: Sponsor/Champion
In most organizations, a Sponsor or Champion is the one who oversees a Six Sigma project and is accountable to the Top Executives for the success of that project. It would be difficult to execute a Six Sigma project without a Champion on the Six Sigma team.
Six Sigma Champions identify and scope the projects, develop deployment and strategy, support cultural change, identify, coach and develop master black belts. Each champion has 3-4 reporting Master Black Belts. Change management is an important part of a Six Sigma project and Six Sigma team. When a process needs to be changed in order for the business to run more effectively, there might be resistance. Some people will claim that the current process works best and will not believe that any changes to the process will have positive results. The champion or sponsor is responsible for managing such negative attitudes towards the project and to swing nay-sayers to have a more positive outlook towards the project and its benefits. The champion of the project truly has to believe that the burning platform that is the basis of the Six Sigma project exists and must be able to defend the project if it needs to be. This is why it is important to have a champion on the Six Sigma team.

This is why it is important to have a champion on the Six Sigma team.
Master Black Belt
Six Sigma Master Black Belt is the Six Sigma coach and a valuable asset to the Six Sigma team. He provides expert advice to a number of process owners and Six Sigma improvement teams in areas ranging from Statistical Measurement Tool to Change Management and Process Design strategies. Six Sigma Master Black Belts train and coach Black Belts, Green Belts and functional leaders. Each Six Sigma Master Black Belt has 3-4 reporting Black Belts. The Six Sigma Master Black Belt has extensive training in Six Sigma and other related problem-solving principles. He must be able to confidently provide advice on aspects that are necessary to complete the project successfully. His knowledge must be superior to be able to coach other team members in the functions that they have to perform. Master Black Belts steer the Six Sigma team in executing the project according to the correct Six Sigma principles.
Each Six Sigma Master Black Belt has 3-4 reporting Black Belts. The Six Sigma Master Black Belt has extensive training in Six Sigma and other related problem-solving principles. He must be able to confidently provide advice on aspects that are necessary to complete the project successfully. His knowledge must be superior to be able to coach other team members in the functions that they have to perform. Master Black Belts steer the Six Sigma team in executing the project according to the correct Six Sigma principles.
The Team Leader or Black Belt is the person who accepts primary responsibility for the routine work and results of a Six Sigma project. The duties are similar to those of the coach but specific to one team only. Black Belts apply strategy to specific projects, leads, and directs teams to execute projects. The team leader must have sufficient knowledge of Six Sigma principles in order to guide the Six Sigma team through the project. Since the Six Sigma team Leader also only works with one Six Sigma team, he will also have to have sufficient knowledge in the subject matter that that specific team deals with. So he will be both a subject matter expert as well as a Six Sigma expert.
Six Sigma Team: Green Belt
Green Belts are usually employees who have received enough Six Sigma training to participate in a team or, in some companies, to work individually on a small-scale project directly related to their own job. Furthermore, Green Belts support Black Belts by participating in a team. Also, Green Belts may be considered for further training to become Black Belts as their experience in being part of a team increases. Green Belts will rely heavily on Black Belts and Master Black Belts for coaching in Six Sigma principles. It is one thing to have basic Six Sigma training and quite another thing to have to perform a Six Sigma project in reality. Every project has its own challenges and coaching is needed to overcome these obstacles.
No Six Sigma project could be executed without a Six Sigma team. For every project and within every company, the Six Sigma team structures will look slightly different. Every project has its own unique needs. Some companies may not have Master Black Belts yet, in which case the Black Belt may have to execute the Master Black Belt's duties. This is an example of how Six Sigma teams may differ from company to company. However, this basic team structure will be able to overcome every challenge in any project.

Wireless rates falling in Canada despite lack of fourth national carrier, study says
The federal government is claiming victory following the release of a new study showing that average prices Canadians pay for wireless services have declined over the past several years
A new study shows the average prices Canadians pay for wireless services have declined over the past several years, although some people are paying more.
Typical voice and text-service plans are down about 15% compared to five years ago, and higher volume voice and text plans down 27%, according to the Wall Communications report, which found that average prices have fallen as part of a long-term trend.
Wireless rates falling in Canada despite lack of fourth national carrier, study says Back to video
At the same time, it also found that low-cost, voice-only plans increased 16% compared to last year, while the cost of higher volume voice, text and data plans tumbled 15% over the same period.
Ottawa-based Wall Communications is an independent consulting firm specializing in telecom, and its Annual Report on the Prices Paid for Telecom Services in Canada and Internationally has been produced for the past seven years, paid for by Industry Canada and the Canada Radio-television and Telecommunications Committee.
For the past several years the federal government has been struggling to attract a fourth wireless carrier to compete with the incumbents, tweaking rules and introducing incentives to make the business more attractive to newcomers.
"Our government has aggressively and consistently made decisions to support a healthy and competitive wireless industry for the benefit of Canadian consumers of wireless services," Industry Minister James Moore said in a statement on Monday.
"We are encouraged by the findings … which confirm that our policies for more choice and lower prices are working to support Canadian families," Mr. Moore said.
Mr. Moore's comments come a week after he surprised the industry with plans for a wireless spectrum auction with the majority set aside for new entrants. Meanwhile, Ottawa is looking for ways to compel Rogers Communications Inc., BCE Inc., and Telus Corp. to provide competitors with easier access to their wireless networks.
Despite such efforts, the government has had limited success with its wireless policy to boost competition. Of the remaining two new entrants, one — Mobilicity — is in bankruptcy protection, and the other — Wind Mobile — is hunting for a new investor, without which it will be unable to continue building its network
According to the Wall report, Canada's mobile prices continue to rank "on the high side" of the international average. In terms of North American roaming rates, the study found that U.S. mobile customers in Canada were no better off than Canadian mobile customers in the U.S.
Greg MacDonald, an analyst at Macquarie Capital Markets Canada, believes there is room for more telecom competition and lower prices.
In a recent note to clients, Mr. MacDonald argued that Canadian subscriber growth is starting to slow while U.S. subscriber growth is picking up, even though far more Americans own cell phones on a per capita basis. What's happening is that U.S. providers are offering cheaper, more flexible wireless packages than Canadian carriers, especially at the bare-bones entry level part of the market.
One of the main reasons for that, according to Mr. MacDonald, is the rise of a disruptive player that is cutting prices and forcing the incumbents to follow suit. The situation in the U.S. "can be explained by the existence of sub-scale carrier T-Mobile which has affected data pricing trends in the U.S. in a way that has not yet occurred in Canada," Mr. MacDonald said.
Many observers say the Canadian market can't support a fourth player; however, according to Mr. MacDonald, the federal government is likely to pave the way for Quebecor Inc. to become the equivalent of a T-Mobile by fulfilling its demands around lower access prices to the incumbents' networks and enabling it to buy at least one of the new entrants.


← "You too have a song inside. Listen to it".
Living a small life can reduce your thinking and the way that you interact with others despite you believing that it's the best way. It can be like a comforting cardigan that you won't throw out despite it having had its best days behind it. If it fits, and you feel comfortable wearing it, it can be something that you just snuggle into without going to any real effort to change it. You mend the tears, sew on a new button and keep on wearing it while time moves on and you resist letting it go.
Writing this Blog over the past few years, I know that have been very reflective in my writing. All of the entries have sprung from a real place deep inside of me. Sometimes I recounted an event, time or feeling. Other times it's just been a story. But it has always been a memoir that I wanted to share.
I have recounted many stories and shared how I felt when they occurred. They have all been my personal recollections of events that took place in my life. Some entries have been about activities that were more current, but I unhesitatingly wrote about my feelings and how I was navigating a particular phase in my life as I documented them. At least I believe I did. I have loved recording them.
The sudden death of my darling sweet and younger sister six years ago had a profound life changing effect on me. In the everyday moments that I missed her and cried for her, I continued to live. Sometimes I didn't want to. The emotional pain that I experienced was indescribable. I have been struggling all the time.
Writing helped, and the Blog somehow allowed me to rewind life and to include her in the stories that I wrote about. It kept her alive. There were nights that I would have a few glasses of wine and feel the need to pour words out, remembering times we were all together as a family. Looking back, I believe it was a coping mechanism. Even if I didn't mention her singularly in my writing, my family memories always included her, so it was a way of keeping her close, near me, alive.
Recounting stories where all the members of a family are intact in that written moment suspends reality and can dupe a person into thinking that life is unchanged. But it's a fool's paradise, reality catches up and feelings and emotions have to be dealt with. Coping with loss is not exclusive to me. I am not so self-important to think that others do not feel this emotion in a similar way, and countless people who live on after the death of someone beautiful, unique and special somehow find a way to continue living. I poured my loss out in my Blog.
Every single letter in the alphabet is available to be used by everyone. No one owns them. No word belongs to anybody. So I never worried about 'copying' anyone's feelings, or 'plagiarising' a sentence about loss. All the words were 'mine'. Language is universal, and how feelings are understood is down to the expressiveness of the writer. My Blog was never really about how I was perceived by others; more that I hoped that my words and feelings were understood.
I am now really enjoying a new chapter in my life having recently joined a local creative writing group. People and their ideas can be so diverse and wonderfully different. I simply love sitting in, listening to individuals who are writing their own personal memoirs, film scripts, short stories, fiction and plays. It's a democratic group, and a 'prompt' is suggested and agreed every week that we are collectively asked to adhere to.
It's been a challenge. I have never written fiction, prose or poetry. All my previous meanderings on the blog have been about me, myself, and I. My life had become too small and inward-looking.
Writing about my past, my personal history, my family, has been hugely therapeutic, but I recognise that it's now time to change, to move on.
Because I am now part of this lovely group I am exploring different ways of writing that I never considered before, and despite my initial misgivings about joining, I look forward to meeting them every week. We have had recent workshops where different styles of writing are explored and discussed, and encouragement and feedback are ever present.
I hope I am eloquent enough. I recognise that I am like an anorak woman who collects beautiful sounding words and learns the meaning of them. I have been like this all of my life. When it's appropriate, I will never use a mundane word when there is an alternative more expressive beautiful one that I can replace it with. Such is the allure of language for me.
In this creative writing group that I now belong to I am spreading my wings. I am exploring the writing of fiction, prose and poetry. My joined up words are like migrating birds. They may have taken a long time to get here, but once arrived; they soar, dip, land and take off again. I am unafraid to be expressive. I am uncorked, explosive and unafraid.
Destiny? Let's be having ya.

"Volver Al Futuro", the Debut Album by Les Enfants (Uruguayan Artist)
(English translation of an article originally posted on Cooltivarte.com)
Jorge Luis Borges once claimed that dreaming was the oldest aesthetic activity which ever existed. That is the first lesson any creative person actually learns, or (at the very least) the one he ratifies when he intends to tell his own stories, and set down an imaginary rhythm that could move as many people as possible. The beauty that is veiled from perception by the tedium of routine and by these memories that sorely search for oblivion becomes visible only in these lands we dream on. The world of dreams is the world of creativity in its most crystalline expression.
And you know what? Immersing yourself in such a world is not that difficult. What's difficult is bringing out what you manage to find there, and having it applied to reality in a way that retains its charm intact, and that doesn't leave you uneasy, looking at your hands as if trying to remember what you could create with them whilst you were dreaming.
"Volver Al Futuro" [Back To The Future] is the first album by Les Enfants, and it manages to showcase what happens when both worlds become perfectly interconnected. "Volver Al Futuro" is the stage in which dreams and reality become all and one.
The band was started in 2008, and its five members decided to pick a French moniker since they reasoned a name in French would be more memorable in a scene where English names are legion. But they also went for one such name because they still see themselves as children in many senses, specially when it comes to all ludic activities.
In essence, Les Enfants are a rock-pop band which uses synthesizers to enrich their music. It's evident that bands such as Primal Scream, The Killers, The Smiths and The Flaming Lips have been a great influence on their sound. And so have been a handful of South American bands such as Soda Estéreo and Virus.
Martín Vallejo acts as the band's vocalist, and the songs are created collectively. Martín brings his different drafts to each and every rehearsal, and they all work together to shape both the lyrics and the music. Martín is likewise one of the two guitar players in the band, along with Mauro Bolatino.
Roberto Suárez handles all keyboards and synths, whereas the band's rhythmic section is made up of Javier Gorgoso on drums, and Rodrigo González on bass.
The aesthetic sense of the lyrics is what shines through more strongly. Frankly, it's something quite amazing. There is a strange symbiosis. We know these things Martin is going to say when he begins speaking, but he says them in such a way that the end result is equally compelling. And we end up thinking about his lyrics like someone who is writing a letter, and who tilts his head to one side in order to make sense of his feelings and finish it off. And Martín's voice is incredibly ductile – the way in which he sings his songs is comparable to the way in which a joyous person laughs.
"Volver Al Futuro" speaks of emotions that explode when verses are rubbed, of being able to show the best of us to the people who deserve it (and who have been longing for it), of sparkling in the mist… the voice we hear throughout the album is one that brings every single emotion to life. And the music validates everything, as if the notes were steps which legitimate the path they are following in themselves.
And the degree of conceptualization at play is also praiseworthy. It will have these listeners who play albums from start to finish enchanted. The desire to transcend and shine (as expressed on "Estrellas" [Stars], the album's masterpiece) is what comes first. And the last song ("El Sueño Es Hoy" [The Dream Is Today]) analyzes the importance of learning to implement all these dreams a person keeps within himself, to a melody played by a lilting piano. And the overall impression you are left with is that everything which is included on the album is there for a very good reason.
And there's yet another track – "Volver Al Futuro" also includes the remix of "Estrellas" that was done by Fernando Picón and Delbys Márquez in 2011.. In the context of the album, the song works splendidly – which better way to end proceedings than listening to a different interpretation of its standout composition?
The album was mixed by Guillermo Berta, and mastered by Felipe López at Ondaselecta Mastering (Colombia).
Daniel Jacques (from Mandrake Wolf & Los Terapeutas) added bass to the songs "Arcoiris Digital" [Digital Rainbow] and "Popular", whereas David Stabilto handled the mellifluous backing vocals that you can hear on "Estrellas".
The members of Les Enfants have been a part of the Montevideo underground scene for years. It's clear that "Volver Al Futuro" brings together everything that's ever happened to them, in one single place. A new band could never have created an album such as this one. There is experience, musicality, estheticism and a plethora of dreams that have been brought seamlessly into reality. And (above everything else), there is a great longing to enjoy what they're doing – the kind of longing that only those who have aimed for something they deserved their whole lives could harbor.
They say as much themselves on the song "Reloj Del Miedo" [Clock Of Fear]:
Emprenderemos el viaje, aunque destruyan el nido
Veremos la tierra de lejos, será más entretenido.
[We'll set out on our journey, even if they destroy our nest
To watch the Earth from afar can but be a lot more fun]
It surely will.

A global search is on to find descendants of the passengers and crew of Ireland's worst maritime disaster in time for the centenary.
More than 500 people died when the RMS Leinster was torpedoed in the Irish Sea near Dublin Bay on October 10 1918, a month and a day from the end of the First World War.
There were about 700 people on board, including an unknown number of stowaways.
William Byrne, founder of the Friends of the Leinster group, said: "It's Ireland's greatest maritime tragedy. For a start, it's the worst ever loss of life to occur in the Irish Sea.
"The story should not be omitted from history. It was for too long forgotten, perhaps for political reasons."
The Royal Mail Ship Leinster operated between Dun Laoghaire, or Kingstown as it was then known, and Holyhead in north Wales.
It went down near the Kish lighthouse after being targeted by the German submarine U-123. In turn, the U-boat sank several days later when it hit a mine in Scapa Flow off Scotland.
Possibly the most significant of those yet to be traced are the descendants of the ship's captain William Birch, who had homes in both Drumcondra, Dublin and in Holyhead.
"As far as we are aware he was lost at sea and his body was never recovered. We are not certain. But we would like to make contact with his family," Mr Byrne said.
As well as trying to trace the descendants of those on board the Leinster, the commemorative society have also been in contact with German embassy officials in a bid to invite relatives of the naval servicemen on the U-boat.
On board the Leinster there were also passengers from Dun Laoghaire and Holyhead, a group of Wrens, some clergy including one nun who died and Allied troops from the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
One of those was US Admiral HJ Cone.
A group of postal workers from Dublin were also on board, with the lone survivor avoiding the first blast after leaving the post room to go for a cigarette.
Mr Byrne's great-grandfather John Donohoe was chief stoker on the Leinster. He saved 16-year-old cabin boy Thomas Connolly by giving him his life jacket.
"I believe that most of the casualties in Dun Laoghaire and Holyhead have been accounted for," Mr Byrne said.
"Families we have yet to make contact with include some of the American families."
Mr Byrne said: "My great-grandfather had nightmares for years afterwards."
Those who died have been remembered at special commemorations, including at the 90th anniversary when the names of many of those lost were read out by schoolchildren at an inter-church commemorative service.
Among those remembered was Gerald Palmer, a boy with a physical disability, who had spent most of his life in care.
He was lost on the Leinster while on his way from the unfortunately-named Cripples Home in Bray to Barnardo's Home in London but his death was only discovered in recent years.
A postal address has been set up to help the search for descendants of the passengers and crew of the Leinster, with relatives urged to write to Mailboat Leinster Committee, 3 Eblana Avenue, Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin, Ireland.
