It's impossible to describe my fame, says Billie Eilish
By Celebretainment
Billie Eilish finds it impossible to describe her own fame.
The 20-year-old star - who is one of the world's best-selling musicians - believes that most people would struggle to relate to her experience of fame.
She shared: "It's like trying to explain a color that doesn't exist."
In 2019, Katy Perry urged Billie to call her if she wanted to talk to someone who understood the pressures of fame.
The 'No Time to Die' hitmaker told the BBC: "I should call her up. At the time I just didn't believe her. It was already so crazy. I couldn't imagine it being crazier."
Despite this, Billie doesn't feel under any pressure to explain herself to other people.
She said: "I don't look at myself like I am something to explain. I just exist. I'm a person."
Earlier this year, Billie admitted to being "very depressed" during the early years of her career.
The chart-topping star struggled to enjoy her early success in the music business - but Billie is now in a much better frame of mind.
The singer - who was just 17 when she released her debut album - shared: "I really, really love it, and it's really nice to be able to say that now, because I really didn't love it for a couple of years.
"The first few years of my career I was very young and very depressed and didn't even know if I wanted anything that I had."
Billie has made a series of behind-the-scenes changes over recent years and her entire outlook has been transformed.
She explained: "I was kind of in this zone of like, I don't want to be here. Stupid little kid and I've made changes.
"Then we got a kind of less brutal touring schedule and we got more people and we didn't have to do it all ourselves any more. And it just became really really enjoyable."

European project
On Thursday 15th. of November in Leeds there was the launch of a pan European study exchange under the wonderfully pan-European title of APPLIED THEATRE IN PRACTISING INTEGRATED APPROACHES (ATIPIA).
The project is a partnership between:
Kava Kulturalis Muhely Egyesulet – Budapest, Hungary;
Leeds Beckett University – Leeds, United Kingdom;
Colaborative Reichenow e.V – Reichenow, Germany;
Asociatia Teatrala Shoshin – Cluj, Romania
Centre Artistique International Roy Hart – Malérargues France.
The launch was a long day of wonderfully theatrical presentations, minute planning and promise. It was strangely ironic to find ourselves in Leeds promoting an exciting European project at a moment in time when all the news there was so dominated by the panic of Britain's tangled attempts to leave Europe.
Roy Hart Theatre, left Britain in 1974, because our work was considered too 'undressed' for the London of the day, where theatre was still perceived as a kind of 'wooden cinema', yet we were appreciated in Europe and we toured there a lot – It seemed obvious, we should go and live in Europe! so we started looking and eventually found our château, but the purchase of it and the transfer of funds to a foreign country and then visas for more than 40 persons was an impossible ask. Then suddenly Britain applied for membership of the European Union and our dream of Malérargues became possible. Thank you Harold Wilson, thank you Europe!
Our dream when we came to Malérargues in 1974 was to create a living theatre of reflection, research, creation and recreation 'away from the world' and it still is. The world has changed so much since that time and on many levels our revolution of the extended human voice has succeeded. But one thing that hasn't changed is the alienation of the individual from soul and the alienation of art from life. Healing that gap is still the centre of the work and the inspiration for theatre at Malérargues and it is also at the root of the Erasmus+ project. All of the partners are working to heal the gap between theatre and life: Kava are recognised pioneers of applied theatre in Hungary; the School of Film, Music & Performing Arts of Leeds Becket University has excellent collaborative film and theatre projects with old people; Colaborative Reichenow e.V is an association of artists for social enterprise; Shoshin Theatre Association: the coordinators of the project are creators, developers and sustainers of artistic, pedagogic and social theatre projects.
The project will run over thirteen months during which time all of the partners will travel to study with each of the others within their particular approach to applied theatre, sharing their own methods and inspiration – the very nature of what the European Union represents, a bastion against populists and billionaires.

TRAVEL GUIDE to OCEANIA
This is your ultimate travel guide to Oceania!
Oceania is a geographical (and geopolitical) region, continent stricto sensu, consisting, made up of 14 independent countries, with the most well-known being Australia, New Zealand, and French Polynesia. It is called Oceania because the ocean is the connection all countries together.
Oceania is estimated to have a land area of 8.5M square kilometers (91,903 sqm) and a population of over 41 million. When compared with the other continents, the region of Oceania is the smallest in land area and the second smallest in population after Antarctica. Its six major population centers are Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Auckland, and Adelaide.
Oceania has the greatest diversity of tropical coral in the world and includes the world's two largest coral formations: Australia's Great Barrier Reef and the New Caledonia Barrier Reef.
French Polynesia is an overseas collectivity, belonging to my country, France, and is probably the favorite tropical destination of every traveler.
When in OCEANIA
YOUR TRAVEL GUIDE
The 4 regions in Oceania are Australasia, Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia.
Australasia: consists of Australia, New Zealand, and their neighboring islands in the Pacific Ocean. It's home to the Great Barrier Reef, Lord of the Rings filming locations, and plenty of scuba diving locations. They mostly speak English, which is very useful for travelers.
Melanesia: consists of New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, and the Solomon Islands. Each island has a rich history and culture, and they are known for their exotic landscapes. Going from Europe is a long way, but it is worth it.
Micronesia: Micronesia is the northwest region of Oceania. Here the islands are very raw, untouched by human hands, such as the Marshall Islands, Kiribati, and one of the least visited and unheard of countries, Nauru.
Polynesia: Polynesia is the farthest region of Oceania, but it is another level in terms of travel and scenery. French Polynesia is famous among travelers and dreamers around the world, for destinations like Bora Bora and Tahiti, English and French are widely spoken in the region as well as Spanish, and other indigenous Polynesian languages.
The dominant national currencies are the Australian dollar, the New Zealand dollar, and the United States dollar. There is also the XPF the Pacific Franc, which is in circulation in the French overseas territories.
Bare in mind that Oceania is in the Southern Hemisphere. Therefore, winters and summers are reversed than in Northern Hemisphere. This means when it's summer in Europe, there's winter in Australia.
Nevertheless, the best time to visit Oceania would be from September to November, or from March to May. it's just that this happens to be also peak tourist season!
November to March is considered cyclone season for Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and the other islands in the South Pacific. Nonetheless, tropical cyclones may occur at any time of year.
Travel Insurance is more than recommended when traveling to Oceania, to make sure you are covered in case of any natural disasters that may prevent you from traveling.

Now with that in mind, you must have a good back round to bring out all the embellishments that have been added to your back round. Walk around your yard an really look at your lawn. Are there some dead spots, thin spots, mis-colored spots?
If you do notice any of these types of issues you should go through the process of elimination to find out if you lawn is infected with some kind of insect, worms or fungus. You might also want to have your soil tested to make sure all the proper mineral contents are within the best recommended specifications. This can save you a lot of time in the long run if one of the above is the issue. You can re-seed the bad spots but they will just die off again, so to save a lot of hassle it is recommended that you do a thorough investigation of the perceived problem.
Approximately 40% to 50% of you lawn is dead.
When walking across the lawn if feels soft and spongy.
Is your lawn getting taken over by weeds?
There are many determining factors, but these three are the major factors. Sometimes just making simple modifications to basic lawn care practices or improving site conditions is all you need to revive your lawn.
The soil is warmer which is better for germination.
There are fewer problems with weeds.
The cooler season encourages grass growth.
There is less chance of water evaporation as this process requires a lot of water.
If you are planning to do just some small patch repair (8' or less) it is recommended that you use 1 part seed with 4 parts of a natural organic fertilizer. This way you can accomplish two tasks at the same time. Try working up the soil just a little bit to give the lawn seed just a little more to adhere to. The seeds are very, very light and will blow away easily. You can also use straw or fines netting that would be available at your local home improvement store. After you have spread the grass seed another recommendation is pressing the seed into the ground, just a light pressing will do. You can use just any tool you can think of to press the seeds down.
Then comes the hardest part. The daily watering and then getting down on your hands and knees looking for the little green sprouts. Depending on the type of grass you decided on planting, germination can take anywhere from 5-28 days. You should do your best to keep the soil moist at all times, this keeps the germination time to a minimal.
When you have finished this tedious process, the payoff will be worth the work and effort. Remember this is the backdrop for everything on your property. You want it to look the best it can. Once all this is completed the lawn is ready for your enjoyment and the neighbors will be in awe.

Almost a full recovery for the local housing market
Bill Cary
wcary@lohud.com
Luxury market in Westchester surges
Number of residential closings highest since 2008-2009 recession
Good news for sellers in Weschester%2C especially Rye
The real estate market in the Lower Hudson Valley has nearly climbed out from under the dismal days of the 2008-2009 recession.
In Westchester, the median cost of a single-family home was up 4 percent last year, from $610,000 in 2013 to $635,000 in 2014. That's just 7 percent below the 2007 peak price of $685,000.
In Rockland, the median cost of a single-family home was $400,000, a 3.2 percent increase. The median in Putnam was $310,000, up 0.6 from 2013.
The numbers come from the annual report by the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors, which was released Monday. The group encompasses Multiple Listing Service members in Westchester, Rockland, Putnam and Orange counties.
"It really depends on the geographic area — each county is different — but overall I think the region is making the climb out of the hole," said Leah Caro, president of the Hudson Gateway MLS and president of Bronxville Real Estate. "Westchester probably was the first to show signs of life, followed by Rockland, then Putnam. Orange County has been slower to respond. But all are starting to get their legs back."
"We were very busy in the fourth quarter," she added. "The fourth quarter tends to be slow, because of the holidays and all. I think we'll see a very early spring market."
The condo and co-op market is also showing new signs of life, particularly in the fourth quarter, when the number of sales of condos rose 13.7 percent in Westchester and co-op sales shot up 24 percent. In Rockland, sales of condos during the quarter rose 27.6 percent.
The MLS group reported 14,169 residential closings (including condos and co-ops) in the four counties in 2014, the highest number for any year since the 2008-2009 recession and 1.1 percent more than in 2013.
Sellers' market?
Good news for Westchester sellers: The average number of days that a single-family house in Westchester sits on the market — 99 days for 2014 compared to 112 in 2013 — is close to the peak-market times of 2006 (95 days), according to the 4th Quarter Market Report by Houlihan Lawrence, the largest agency in the county. Further, sellers in the county are getting the closest to their asking price since 2005.
"I do think the pendulum is starting to swing" toward sellers, Caro said. "It's not a fierce swing that I see, which is good. You want a balance. No one wants to see another housing bubble."
Traditionally, Rye has been one of the strongest real estate markets in Westchester, and the 2014 numbers reflect that. In the Rye school district, the median price for single-family homes shot up 23 percent last year, from $1.487 million to $1.835. And the median number of days homes sat on the market in Rye plummeted to a 10-year low of 70 in 2014, compared to 126 the previous year.
Interestingly, there was a 25 percent drop in the number of home sales in Rye, which Fiona Dogan, an agent with Julia B. Fee Sotheby's International Realty, attributes primarily to the decline in inventory of homes priced below $1 million.
"The median price increased due to the popularity of new construction and renovated homes in the $1.5 to $2.5 million range," Dogan said. "New and newer construction homes are still the most sought-after homes in the Rye city school district, and with over 40 new construction homes either planned or on the market in 2015-2016, this trend is certain to continue."
Luxury market up
Beyond Rye, the luxury market in Westchester — $2 million and up — had a huge surge at the end of the year, shooting up 28 percent in the fourth quarter vs. a year ago, according to the Houlihan Lawrence report. For the whole year, the luxury market was up 16 percent.
And the inventory of luxury homes in Westchester remains high, with a 25 percent year-over-year increase.
Fourth-quarter closings were strong across the board in all four counties, up 6.9 percent compared to the same period in 2013.
Year over year, the number of single-family homes sold in Westchester (5,394) dipped about 1 percent in 2014, from 5,442 in 2013. Rockland had a similar decline — 1,514 last year vs. 1,523 in 2013. But in Putnam they were up about 6 percent (719 to 763).
Top price for the year? That honor goes to Ron Howard, whose 32-acre property in Armonk and Greenwich went for $27.5 million, making it the highest residential home sale in Westchester history.

The need for physicians to discuss patients' use of complementary therapies with them, and for physicians to understand complementary therapies (of which massage is one), is a topic frequently raised in mainstream medical journals.
However, a new study shows U.S. physicians are often poor judges of their patients' health beliefs.
The study, by Richard Street, Ph.D., Communication Department head at Texas A&M University and Paul Haidet, M.D., director of medical education research at The Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine, also found physicians' understanding is better the more patients are involved by asking questions, expressing concerns, and stating their beliefs and preferences for care.
For this study, 207 physician-patient consultations were audio-recorded and, after the consultations, both physicians and patients completed a measure of beliefs about the cause, meaning, treatment and control of the patient's health condition, according to a press release from Springer, which publishes the journal the study ran in. Physicians additionally completed a measure on how they thought the patient responded.
The researchers "found that physicians generally did not have a good understanding of patient's health beliefs, but their understanding was significantly better when patients more actively participated in the consultation," the release noted. However, in the majority of areas, doctors actually thought that their patients' beliefs were similar to theirs.
The article was published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine.

One of my favorite things to do is to photograph the birds that come to visit my bird feeders. Not having a house has kind of put a crimp in my fun, but I've continued to feed the birds far out in the yard on a feeding platform. I didn't want them to forget to come for breakfast, lunch and dinner when the new house is done. We're SO close, we could be moving into the house in just a few weeks!!
I will now do some bird mind-reading. The bird flying away is thinking "Good lord, I need to work out more, taking off is getting harder to deal with." It's like those videos of planes trying to land when suddenly, windshear makes them go sideways. It's not commonly known, but this happens to birds most often on take off and if they haven't been to the gym enough, it can be a very bad situation.
The bird in the center is thinking, "the sun is shining right through my wings and that bird with the peanut can see right THROUGH them! I should have worn a slip today!" I know, you may not all get the joke, but ladies USED to wear slips when they were wearing skirts or dresses. The slip was to prevent too much being revealed if the sun shone through their skirt…like the shape of their legs, I guess. Also if a lady was more of a thief than a lady, they didn't want the grocer to be able to see through their skirt and catch them sneaking cigarettes out of the store without paying for them.
Slips? From another era, for sure. So are nylons. Beautiful photos of your jays. Happy for you that you'll soon be moving into your new house.
It's been a long road, but ohhhhhhhh, I can't wait to be home.
It will be wonderful for you, after waiting so long.

Der Bambus-Trichterling (Paralepistopsis acromelalga, Syn.: Clitocybe acromelalga), auf  (= Giftiger Bambuspilz) und  (= Giftkind des Zwergbambus), ist ein Giftpilz aus der Familie der Ritterlingsverwandten.

Merkmale
Beschreibung nach Moreau et al.:

Makroskopische Merkmale

Der Pilz bildet Fruchtkörper mit Trichterlingshabitus aus, die einzeln oder in kleinen Gruppen wachsen.

Der Hut misst (1,2) 4–7 cm im Durchmesser, jung flach konvex geformt mit eingerolltem Hutrand, später  flach konkav mit sich erst spät aufrollendem Hutrand, aber von Beginn an in der Hutmitte abrupt trichterförmig vertieft bzw. genabelt; Nabel mit 1–3 cm Durchmesser und 3–9 mm Tiefe. Der Hut ist von regelmäßig geformt und kreisrund bis hin zu unregelmäßig wellig bis flatterig. Die Huthaut ist hygrophan, glatt und glänzend wenn feucht, trocken matt und etwas samtig. Der Hut ist freudig gelborange gefärbt, in der Hutmitte mehr rotorange, zudem vor allem jung mit weißem Reif überzogen, der vor allem am Hutrand lange erhalten bleibt, sodass dieser weiß erscheint. Der Hut zeigt zur Hutmitte hin zudem bräunliche Wasserflecken. Der Hutrand ist etwas gerippt.

Die Lamellen sind blass orange gefärbt, herablaufend, sehr dicht stehend und selten gegabelt. Am Hurand zählt man bis zu 15 Lamellen (inkl. Lamelleten) pro cm. Die Lamellen sind nur ca. 2–3 mm breit und nicht vom Fleisch ablösbar.

Der Stiel misst 3–6,5 × 0,7–1,3 cm, ist an der Basis verjüngt, aber bei solitären Fruchtkörpern auch zur Basis hin etwas keulenförmig verdickt. Die Stieloberfläche ist oben wie der Hut bereift, weiter unten mit längsfaseriger Bekleidung. Das Basismyzel verklebt Bodenpartikel und Streu zu einem Ballen, der beim Aufnehmen des Fruchtkörpers mit der Stielbasis entnommen würde.

Das Fleisch ist dünn, im Hut bis 3 mm dick, weiß, direkt unter der Huthaut cremegelblich, direkt über den Lamellen falb ("Milchkaffee"). Das Fleisch der Stielrinde ist fester als das Hutfleisch und hier verwaschen rötlich gefärbt. Der Geruch ist deutlich, aromatisch-fruchtig. Der Geschmack ist erst etwas pilzig-bitterlich, aber auch an den Geschmack von Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) erinnernd, bald überdecken aber fruchtige Komponenten des Geruchs den Geschmack (aufgrund der sehr starken Giftigkeit wird von Geschmacksproben zur Bestimmung stark abgeraten!).

Das frische Sporenpulver ist weiß und inamyloid.

Mikroskopische Merkmale

Die Sporen messen 3,2–4,2–5,1 × 2,6–3,2–3,7 µm, Qm = 1,32, Vm = 45 µm3. Sie sind eiförmig-ellipsoid bis fast kugelig, im Lichtmikroskop glatt, mit abgestutztem Apiculus, der bis 0,5 µm lang ist. Die Sporenwand ist etwas dickwandig, lichtoptisch zweischichtig, die innere Wandschicht nicht cyanophil, die äußere sehr dünn, schwach cyanophil, das Sporenplasma wiederum schwach cyanophil. Die Sporen enthalten meist nur einem Öltröpfchen und sind farblos-hyalin, meist einkernig, seltener auch zweikernig

Die Basidien sind meist viersporig, 18–30 × 4,5–5,5 µm, zylindrisch bis leicht keulenförmig, an der Basis verjüngt, mit Basalschnalle. Die Sterigmen sind 3–4 µm lang.

Die Pleuro- und Cheilozystiden sind wenig differenziert, sehr zerstreut, eher als cystidenartige Zellen zu bezeichnen, die sich wenig gegen junge Basidien abheben, aber manchmal etwas fusiform bis mehrfach gewunden sind und dann eher auffallen.

Die Stielbekleidung zeigt zur Stielspitze hin cystidenartige, rechtwinklig zur Oberfläche abstehende, etwas irregulär gewundene, teils auch verzweigte Zellen.

Das Subhymenium ist aus nur wenig verzweigten Hyphen aufgebaut.

Die Hutdeckschicht ist als dünne Cutis aus 2–5 (–7) µm dicken, geraden bis verzweigten, teils auch etwas unregelmäßig geformten Hyphen ausgeprägt. Die Endzellen sind apikal abgerundet, die auch angedeutet keulenförmig, aber auch gewunden und verzweigt bis fast etwas koralloid. Die Hutdeckschicht ist stellenweise auch ein Ixotrichoderm, welches aber bald zu einer Cutis kollabiert. Die Subcutis ist sehr dünn, wenig differenziert und ist nur 15–30 µm dick. Sie besteht aus schmalen, 3,5–5 µm breiten Hyphen.

Die Huttrama ist aus breiteren, 15–30 µm breiten Hyphen aufgebaut.

Pigmente sind sowohl parietal als auch intrazellulär vorhanden. Das parietale Pigment ist durchgehend gelb, teils auch an der Zellwand fein inkrustiert. Das intrazelluläres Pigment ist goldgelb, befindet sich in den Hyphen der Hutdeckschicht und Subcutis uns ist in KOH 5 % löslich.

Schnallen sind in allen Geflechten regelmäßig vorhanden.

Artabgrenzung
In Europa tritt mit dem Parfümierten Trichterling (Paralepistopsis amoenolens) eine sehr ähnliche Art auf, die aber aufgrund des unterschiedlichen Verbreitungsareals kaum verwechselt werden dürfte. Der parfümierte Trichterling unterscheidet sich im Zweifel durch das aus auffallend verzweigten Hyphen aufgebaute Subhymenium, gelb pigmentierte Hyphen in der Fruchtkörpertrama (beim Bambus-Trichterling nur in der Hutdeckschicht) und etwas größere Sporen.

Der Bambus-Trichterling sieht Vertretern der Gattung Paralepista, wie z. B. dem Wasserfleckigen und dem Fuchsigen Trichterling (Paralepista gilva, P. flaccida) ähnlich und wurde daher früher innerhalb der Gattung der Trichterlinge, in die er eingeordnet wurde, in die Sektion Clitocybe sect. Gilvaeoideae gestellt. Von Vertretern der Gattung Paralepista unterscheidet er sich durch das weiße und nie rötliche Pilzgeflecht im Boden und mikroskopisch durch die nie warzigen Sporen.

Er zudem kann mit Speisepilzen aus den Gattungen Hallimasche verwechselt werden. Von diesen unterscheidet er sich durch das Fehlen einer Stielmanschette, das gruppenartige (niemals büschelige) Wachstum und den Standort (niemals auf Holz).

Ökologie
Der Bambus-Trichterling wächst in Japan und (seltener) in Korea, häufig unter oder in der Nähe von Bambus, seltener in Nadelwäldern.

Toxikologie

Der Bambus-Trichterling wurde 1918 vom japanischen Arzt Tsutsumi Ichimura erstbeschrieben und als giftig erkannt. Durch das enthaltene Toxin Acromelsäure löst der Verzehr des Bambus-Trichterlings das Acromelalga-Syndrom aus, eine sehr schmerzhafte, bisweilen tödliche Pilzvergiftung. Aufgrund der bis zu einer Woche dauernden Latenzzeit wird der Pilz häufig nicht oder zu spät als Ursache der Beschwerden erkannt.

Ichimuras Erkenntnisse machten es zudem möglich, 1996 den in Nordwestafrika und Südwesteuropa auftretenden Parfümierten Trichterling als zweiten acromelsäurehaltigen Giftpilz zu identifizieren.

Detroit Faces Prospect of Not Paying Workers
The Detroit district might be unable to pay its employees after April 8, the district's newly appointed emergency manager told state lawmakers last week.
If the legislature doesn't quickly approve $50 million in aid, teachers and other employees face payless paydays, said Steven Rhodes, who urged lawmakers to approve short-term aid before their spring break, the Detroit Free Press reported.
State lawmakers are considering legislation to rescue the district, which is saddled with more than $500 million in debt and dozens of dilapidated buildings plagued by rodents, mold, and heating and cooling problems.

RINGL & PIT
(1906-2004), (1904-1999)
Ringl & Pit was a photography studio in Berlin, consisting of Ellen Auerbach (1906-2004) and Grete Stern (1904-1999). Ellen Auerbach was born into a Jewish family in Karlsruhe, Germany and studied sculpture at a local art school before relocating to Stuttgart's Academy of Art in 1928. Auerbach's uncle gifted her a camera, and she travelled to Berlin to become the student of Bauhaus photographer Walter Peterhans (1897-1960). It was at Peterhans' studio that Auerbach first met Grete Stern, who was born in Elberfeld, Germany and had studied graphic art at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Stuttgart.
Auerbach and Stern took over Peterhans' studio in 1930 and named themselves Ringl & Pit, combining their childhood nicknames. Ringl & Pit undertook many advertising commissions, as well as portraits of notable Berlin figures such as Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956). The duo were heavily influenced by Surrealism and often used mannequins, wigs and other feminine symbols. One of their still-life collages won first prize at an international photography exhibition in Brussels. However, with the National Socialists coming to power in 1933, Auerbach and Stern both left Germany. Ellen and her husband - the theatre designer Walter Auerbach (1905-1975) - opened a children's portrait studio in Tel Aviv, subsequently travelling to London and the United States. Stern visited England then relocated to Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1935. Ringl & Pit did not see each other for ten years due to the war, and although they never worked together again, they remained lifelong friends.

Business analysis is a topic of global importance for projects and programs. The industry demand reflects this importance, with practitioners increasingly embracing business analysis as a technique for uncovering business needs, managing requirements, and creating effective solutions for business problems.
The jobs of business analysts and solution builders are interconnected with project environments and management of projects. Today project management practitioners increasingly turn to business analysis to define their business needs, identify risks and opportunities, and create sustainable solutions for business problems.
BA tools and techniques teach the discipline of working with stakeholders to define requirements and shaping the output of projects to deliver the expected benefits. With the PMI-PBA℠, a business analysis (BA) certification, the Project Management Institute (PMI®) has formalized the importance of BA work in the project management world. They built the PMI-PBA certification around specific areas, skills and published materials that describe the value of BA to projects.
Assess readiness for taking the PMI-PBA®.
Identify knowledge gaps using module practice exams.
Prepare effectively for the exam.
*Project experience can include your business analysis experience. A current PMP® or PgMP® will satisfy this requirement but is not required for the PMI-PBA.

jan 26 — boxes… i need boxes… henry got to use all of his new sparring gear at karate yesterday! he was so happy. i'm goint to try to take him to the friday class, which sensei paul teaches, every week.
jan 21 — where does the time go? missed a bunch of days again… saturday was nice — henry was with us all weekend and we took him out to the airfield where dan flies his helicopter and dan flew and we watched and amused ourselves with coloring books and so forth and had a lovely time. i discovered that they play monty python's flying circus on bbcamerica, so i've been recording it :) also we've been watching bill nye the science guy with henry lately, which is fun. he's such a sweet wonderful child. tomorrow is his junior theater class, and we are planning to go to the model railroad museum afterwards, too.
jan 10 — yesterday was gymnastics, and i managed to do two or three pullovers unassisted. but i'm so bony that it hurts a lot when my hip bones bang against the bar. i finished my second train car and did a tricky thing with the couplers — the little stock car dan gave me has the old hook horn couplers on it, and they are permantently attached to the car so i couldn't switch them for knuckle couplers like the rest of my train has. so i put one hook horn coupler on each of the models i built, and now the stock car can attach between them, and they can still connect to the rest of my train. so now i have engine and tender plus 6 cars, so my train looks really neat. now i need to plan out some more interesting track and landscaping. kathy is here for a whole week! and mom left today for jon's wedding in NY so i will be doing a bunch of teaching for her.
jan 08 — henry's homeschooler junior theater class started today. while he was in class i went to the museum of photographic arts and saw a great exhibit with lots of old old photos. the new building is lovely. so i had a very nice relaxing time all by myself in the quiet museum, and henry had fun at his class. he says his teacher is really nice. my new boots arrived from j. jill today. mine are olive green, unlike the photo there. i like them very much. ok now i think will glue some more bits onto my little train car.
jan 07 — i finished reading the book henry gave me for christmas ("the bad beginning" by lemony snicket). good book! i used the dremel to smooth out the pieces to my second model train car kit and did the painting and tonight i got some of it glued together. time for futurama!
jan 04 — my brother ken came to visit from NY! he's lots of fun. on thursday when i picked up henry in san diego we went to The Whistle Stop, a wonderful model train store, and henry and i browsed around for a long time and looked at everything, and then i bought a kit to build a "36′ old timer milk reefer" which is a charming little refrigerated milk car with ice hatches that will go nicely with my steam locomotive. i'm building it right now — waiting for glue to dry.

Mobile app onboarding: 4 ideas for nudging new users to take action
Few moments matter more to an app's success than onboarding: the process of orienting new users to your product and helping them achieve...
Few moments matter more to an app's success than onboarding: the process of orienting new users to your product and helping them achieve value as soon as possible. However, we've all gone through labyrinthine onboarding that causes us to quit.
Efficient onboarding is a key part of good UX, especially since new users do care whether the experience is quick and painless. My company Clutch, a B2B research firm that helps businesses find software providers, and I surveyed 501 mobile device users to figure out what people want to see and do in those make-it-or-break-it first minutes inside an app.
Here's what we found: 72% of respondents said that providing all required information in less than 60 seconds was somewhat to very important.
These stats mean that app developers and UX designers are competing against a ticking clock. They only have a minute or so to get new users inside their app and excited about using it.
The secret to making users stay? Getting the value proposition across as soon as possible.
The value proposition is what an app can do for its users. It's not the features themselves, but what those features make possible. Uber and Lyft make transportation easy; Venmo lets users split checks without a headache. User onboarding is the first and most important time to make sure your app's value proposition is as clear as possible, so don't overlook the opportunity to win over users.
Here are four best practices for communicating your app's value from the start. With successful execution of these tactics, you may even be able to onboard mobile users in under a minute.
1. Give users an empty state to fill up
People like to make their mark on empty spaces, and not just those inside apps.
"Painters such as Bosch, Brueghel, and Duvet showed this need to fill up the 'design space' with elements — people, animals, buildings, trees, etc. They made busyness their business!" writes Mads Soegaard for the Interaction Design Foundation.
Look at Bosch's "The Garden of Earthly Delights," for example.
Just like Bosch, who filled up every corner of this space, your users will take advantage of your app's features to fill the white space you give them.
Consider the breakout app Sarahah, which allows users to receive anonymous messages about themselves. It began as a way for employees to tell their managers how they could improve without fear of reprisal, but now it's evolved into a burgeoning social network. Sarahah has recently topped the App Store charts.
After I signed up, I was taken to a screen that was empty except for a single number: 0. I had no messages. I'll be honest: That made me wish I did have something in my inbox.
The design seemed almost too minimalist—what was I supposed to do at this point? Cajole people into messaging me?—but the page did send a strong message.
I tapped on the number 0, which took me to this screen. I was supposed to persuade people to message me! Another empty page gave me a strong indication of how it would be filled if I invited my friends to join Sarahah.
Although Sarahah only has one feature (messaging) and is still in its infancy, it uses empty space to its advantage. Sarahah serves as an example of how to guide users with an absence of instruction rather than too much instruction.
2. Let users test drive the app before sign-up
Another way to get new users excited right off the bat is to let them experience your app before you ask them to register.
As the value proposition is all about 'show, don't tell,' show your users what an app can do, don't tell them. Allow people to give some of your features a try. Once they can interact with your app, they'll know what your app actually does for them, not just what it promises to do.
In Clutch's survey, we asked respondents to tell us why they'd downloaded an app. The top reasons included:
Fun/entertainment (44%)
Accessing products/services (23%)
Staying updated on information (10%)
Connecting with friends/family (9%)
Professional/work reasons (6%)
Think about which of these categories your app falls into, then consider how to prove that your app provides entertainment, social networking, or the latest news. Focus on the features which bring that message home and let users try those features during onboarding.
The audio entertainment platform Audible, for example, gives users both fun and products. People pay for audiobooks, which they can then listen to anywhere. The app plays to its users' desires by showing off its capabilities for free.
When I downloaded Audible, I was presented with a welcome screen that let me tap 'get started' before I had to turn over any information.
Aside from a single (well-explained!) permission request to access my other audio books, the app wasn't arm-wrestling me into giving personal data before I was ready. I didn't have to sign up for an account or enter my credit card information.
Audible runs on a monthly subscription model, but it gave me an opportunity to start a trial.
'Try App'? Intriguing. I tapped that option.
Free audiobooks? Don't mind if I do.
In less than a minute, I was listening to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. According to the audio player, I had 45 minutes of audio left before my trial ended – enough to last me a few days of commuting.
Audible let me experience the app's main draw—quality, easy-to-access audiobooks—without promising anything I wasn't ready to give. After 45 minutes of free audio, plenty of listeners will be persuaded to sign up for a monthly program.
Consider your own app. If you were a user, what would impress you into keeping the application? Factor those features into your onboarding.
3. Master one feature before attempting to over-delight
Regardless of whether or not you let users try a feature for free, getting inside your app should still be easy and intuitive.
Include too much 'gift wrapping,' like extraneous copy, distracting graphics, and unnecessary forms, and users will lose interest. You want to wow them, but don't put on a firework display so bright your users forget what they're looking at.
In our survey, over 40% of respondents said that filling out forms with their personal information was slightly to very frustrating. Don't give users a reason to jump ship at the very beginning because they're frustrated! Sometimes, you can get away without asking for anything at all.
Consider Shazam, which lets people identify the name and artist of songs they hear anywhere. That's its only major feature, though it can perform a few other helpful tasks. For example, once Shazam has identified a song, users can tap on buttons that let them buy or listen to the song elsewhere.
I put Shazam to the test by having it guess a random song my coworker played on Spotify.
Upon opening, the interface showed a single call to action: hold down a button to make the app identify a tune.
I pressed it, and…
Voila! Ten seconds later, I had the information I needed: Jack was playing "Pink Spit" by Peaer.
Sure, the interface on the discovery screen is a little crowded. Sure, the banner ads are slightly annoying. But Shazam never made me register or sign up. It didn't ask me for anything. It got right down to business and proved its value in ten seconds.
I'll take the banner ads if it means an app is this easy to use.
3. Encourage users to personalize their experience
When an app shows new users other people's activity, those users can become inspired to investigate. What can the app do? What have other people done with it so far?
This technique works especially well for apps that allow users to upload audio files, images, and stories of any kind. During the onboarding experience, Tumblr displays art its users have submitted. New users are asked to choose topics they're interested in, and Tumblr displays popular accounts tagged with that topic. Tumblr's onboarding demonstrates value while users are making profiles.
Podbean is another mobile application that allows users to poke around, taking advantage of the sheer variety of podcasts the app offers.
When I opened Podbean for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised by how little information I had to give before I could genre-hop with abandon. All the app asked me for was an email address and password (and push notification permission, which was annoying, but I could handle that).
Once I'd completed that simple signup, the app asked me about my favorite types of podcasts.
Easy enough. I tapped 'Business.'
Podbean presented me with a treasure trove of business-related podcasts, all of which I could listen and subscribe to.
It took less than fifteen seconds for me to get inside the app and browse its entire podcast library. Podbean's value became clear right away, since the app gave me some pointers on what it thought I might like and then let me take the reins.
Lay your cards on the (onboarding) table
When it comes to presenting your value proposition during mobile app onboarding, there's no need to hide the aspects that make your app unique. After all, according to my survey respondents, people don't want to waste time and prefer short onboarding experiences.
By taking advantage of blank space, keeping your app simple, and letting users browse and/or try features, you can make the most of the time you have. Show your users the difference your app can make in their lives, and they're much more likely to return day after day.

Leadership ·Michael Bloomberg
Michael Bloomberg May Not Be What Voters are Looking For Anymore

THE CELEBRITY APPRENTICE -- Episode 701 -- Pictured: (l-r) Donald Trump, Host, Mayor Michael Bloomberg (Photo by Tommy Baynard/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images)

The most intriguing leadership news over the weekend is that former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg is preparing for a possible presidential run. Whether he decides to run, and whether he succeeds if he does run, will depend largely on how accurately he's reading the electorate. The big question he's trying to answer is relevant for all the candidates.
The New York Times, which broke the story, reports that Bloomberg would be most likely to run if Donald Trump or Ted Cruz became the Republican nominee and Bernie Sanders became the Democratic nominee. In that case he'd see a wide opening between them. The Times quotes an unnamed Bloomberg adviser saying that Bloomberg believes voters want "a nonideological, bipartisan, results-oriented vision." The big question: Do they really?
So far, with Iowans caucusing one week from today, that seems to be the opposite of what they want. Cruz proposes abolishing the IRS. Trump would ban all Muslims from entering the U.S. Sanders wants to spend $1 trillion on infrastructure over the next five years while making college free for everyone. In case you have any doubt, none of those things will happen. Yet Trump and Cruz together have 57% support among Iowa Republicans, while Sanders has 40% support among Iowa Democrats (trailing Hillary Clinton's 52%) and has 52% support in New Hampshire. The most ideological, partisan, unrealistic candidates are doing great.
Sign up for Power Sheet, Fortune's daily morning newsletter on leaders and leadership.
Bloomberg could still be right, of course. Primary voters tend to be the most extreme members of their parties. Once we get to the general election, maybe there's a broad majority in the middle that wants just what Bloomberg would offer them: "a technocratic problem-solver and self-made businessman who understands the economy and who built a bipartisan administration in New York," as an aide described his positioning to the Times. That description would be largely fair. But while Bloomberg would argue that he thus offers something for everyone, in today's political climate it could just mean that he offers something for everyone to hate. He strongly favors abortion rights and gun control. He also stoutly defends Wall Street and the financial services industry. He favors charter schools and was an enemy of the teachers' union and several other labor unions. He endorses strong policies to fight climate change. As mayor he instituted strict policing policies, some of which have been reversed by his successor, Democrat Bill de Blasio. Is that a package that attracts lots of votes, or almost no votes?
If Republicans nominate Trump or Cruz and Democrats nominate Sanders, and Bloomberg ends up running, his implicit campaign slogan – not that he'd say it out loud – would be oddly parallel to the slogan used successfully by Jimmy Morales, the TV comedian who was elected president of Guatemala last October. Morales's line was "I'm not corrupt, and I'm not a thief." Bloomberg's version would be "I'm not loony." And he's definitely not. The big question is whether that's what the voters want.

Join me from 10 am to 4 pm at Fire Om Earth, 872 Mill Hollow Rd., Eureka Springs, Arkansas, for a one-day work: Backyard Medicinals: Into the Wild with Steven Foster. This is the only Arkansas event I have scheduled for 2014!
For details go to Fire Om Earth's workshop page.
Early bird registration deadline extended until April 15th. $75.00. After April 15th, $95.00.
Also checkout Melissa Clare's Plant Spirit Communications event, and Lorna Trigg's Creating a Medicine Wheel Garden at Fire Om Earth, April 27th. Make a weekend of it.
The Ozarks have nearly 3,000 species of plants, which includes about 25% that are edible and medicinal, perhaps 500 species. It is helpful to understand that different plants occur in different habitats. We will look at which plants you might find in a specific habitat. Spring is our best season for wild edibles and medicinal plants, the time when we get dandelion greens, wild onions, pepper grass, plantain, pokeweed, and purslane, among others and a good time of year to enjoy edible flowers such as violets and elderflowers. Come prepared to learn, enjoy, and ask questions.
Japanese honeysuckle, to some a weed, to me a medicinal plant.
In segments of the conservation community the question has arisen as to whether the possibility exists that some plants considered weeds in the United States may have some kind of economic value in terms of medicinal or food use that could translate into a commercial harvest, and hence an opportunity to control the weeds.
Japanese honeysuckle produces two major ingredients in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The flowers are known as jin yin hua which consists of the dried, unopened buds of Japanese honeysuckle. Another product is the dried stems with leaves attached known as ren dong teng. The Chinese name jin yin hua means gold and silver flower. This refers to the fact that the white flowers turn golden yellow one or two days after blooming. The Chinese name, referring to the stems with the leaves attached, ren dong, means "stand in winter" in reference to the fact that the leaves are evergreen.
more info…….well come to the workshop!!!!


September is "Be Kind to Editors and Writers Month." I'm not sure Hallmark has a card for that one, so what can you do?
I don't think I've ever been unkind to my editors or fellow writers, but I have been working diligently on my current WIP in order to turn it in to my editor on time. I know she's got a schedule to keep, and if I'm late, the domino effect can make her life miserable. I also owe it to her to turn in the cleanest possible manuscript, and that means not simply hitting send immediately after writing The End.
What I do after I type The End is save the document in a different font. I type in Times New Roman, which is more or less industry standard. TNR is a serif font (has the little squiggles on the edges of the letters). My eyes have been staring at that font for months as I work on the manuscript, so I'll choose a sans serif font for my final printout. Two good examples are Arial and Calibri.
Next, I change the format to two columns. I narrow the margins and reduce the font to a readable, yet small enough size to conserve paper. I'll print it out on both sides of the page, again to conserve paper. My goal is to be reading the manuscript like a book, because although I don't want to have my editor deal with typos and technical errors, I'm more concerned in not turning in something with glaring plot holes or continuity errors that will end up requiring major revisions. Those are the time-killers.
I mark the manuscript using my trusty red pen (I don't have any negative feelings about red—my teachers back in the day used red for good comments, too!). Although I want to read the story I'll circle repeated words and other technical issues. If there's something that looks like a plot or continuity problem, I'll make a note in the margin or attach a sticky. I also keep a notepad handy for jotting down things I'll need to search the manuscript for later.
I try to read about five chapters at a sitting. Enough to remember what the story's about, but not so much that I get caught up in the story and forget that I'm supposed to be editing.
Once I finish, I go back to the original manuscript on the computer and deal with my edits and revisions. Since I'm a firm believer in editing as I write, for this process, I started with what I'd hoped was a relatively clean document and can usually have the official draft ready to send to my editor in less than a week.
As for being nice to writers—author Nancy Cohen blogged about that not long ago, and she's summed it up perfectly. I hope you'll all pop over there to see what you can do to support them.
This post is exactly what I needed. I am doing a revision and wasn't honestly sure how to approach it.
All excellent advice! I hadn't thought of using a different font and layout, but it makes perfect sense. Gonna do!
Jodi - hope it works for you the way it does for me. I'm about 10 chapters from the end of my read-through of my manuscript. This final pass is the only time I don't stop and fix everything as I find it. Once I get to the end, then I'll go back and take care of all my markups and sticky notes.
Marian - I think you'll find it 'fools' your brain so you'll catch more glitches.
Great suggestion, Terry! As an editor, I'm always grateful when I receive a really clean manuscript -- which isn't very often.
Linda, I think the days are LONG gone when an editor was more of the author's "partner" and it was understood that the editor would "fix" everything, from plot issues to punctuation. If you turn in something like that today, it's an immediate rejection. And for freelance editors who base fees on an hourly rate, you're asking for a hefty bill.
Good points, Terry, and thank again for bringing us some helpful tips here at The Blood Red Pencil.
I like how you approach the second draft by reading all the way through and making notes for things that have to be fixed. With my latest work, I made the mistake of starting the read-through, making some changes, getting pulled away from it, and then having to start over. THis time, I am going to take a day to just read from beginning to end and make notes. Thanks for that tip.
I just corrected the errors in the post - don't hate me too much for it! LOL.
Terry, this is such powerful advice! If only everyone took such pains with their work. I charge by the page, not by the hour—but the more I'm distracted by surface issues, the less effective I can be at analyzing deeper story problems.
The more a writer strive to do their very best, the more and editor can help—and the better writer they'll be.
Yes, the tips are excellent, Terry! I'm guessing this will become part of our annual Best Posts of the Year in December.
Yay for edit-as-you-write! I'm growing weary of the "separate hats" crew telling me to forge ahead when I know I've got stuff to fix.
Maryann-- good for you if you can work through the entire MS in a day. I normally take 4-5 days because if I do too much, I'm reading the story and forgetting to look for edits.
Dani - I'm never opposed to someone finding my mistakes and fixing them. That's why I pay an editor! And glad you found the post worthwhile.
Kathryn - Distractions of any kind slow the process, and can reduce the quality of the end-product.
Adrian - you have to do what works. Not stopping to fix doesn't work for me, although others prefer to plow through. Go for it!
I also change fonts between edits. It's very effective. Cursive fonts are good, too (for short stories - it might be a bit heavy-going for a novel). A fancy font makes the edit fun, but it also slows you down and makes you read more carefully. I prefer to write and edit in a sans serif font, and do a read-through with serifs.
I edit on screen until the very last draft, which, at that stage, should have very few errors. It's really more my copy to keep than a tool for editing.
Elle - thanks for sharing your methods. I print out each scene as I finish it and read it in a "non-work" environment (usually in bed, where I do my pleasure reading). That give me a good jumping off point for starting the next day's writing. And looking at what I've got for this manuscript, I think it's clean--we'll just have to wait to see what my editor thinks!
Maryann--ok -- My WIP is about 101,000 words, so the 'one day' kind of freaked me out!

Hi Everyone - I haven't posted often here, but wanted to pop in and announce that our newest little son, Carter Clifton was born on October 17 (I was due October 19) weighing 8 lbs 7 oz., 22 inches long and perfectly healthy. He's a super baby - so calm and easy.
We have four others - aged 21 (boy), 16 (boy), 14 (girl), and 5 (girl). I will be 49 in May. The first three are from my previous marriage, our 5-year-old daughter is from this marriage. She was conceived after three consecutive early miscarriages. We have been trying ever since she was born (when I was 43) for one more.
This baby was conceived naturally. I did have an amnio [amniocentesis], and it was all clear. Labour was induced because he was showing some stress at term. Turns out the cord was around his neck. Labour was (relatively) easy, I did have an epidural. A week later, and I feel like a million bucks.
