Q: Revoking permissions for Azure AD applications I have an issue similar to this one. After revoking the following permissions from my app (Sign in and read user profile & Read all groups), and reassigning completly different permissions (Read user mail + waiting 20 mins for the new permissions to take effect), my app is still able to query/read the domain's group. I have also tried revoking all permissions => the resulting requiredResourceAccess array in the Manifest file for the application is empty; waited 20 mins for the changes to take effect. => result my application is still able to query the domain's group.
Any explanation is appreciated.

A: As that case's answer said, after change the permissions in Application registrations, you need to click the Grant Permissions button.
Go to Azure portal> Azure Active Directory> Application registrations > Select your application > Required permissions > Choose the API > Revoke the permissions > Save > Grant permissions

You can go to Enterprise applications to check if it has revoked.
Enterprise Applications > Select your applications > Permissions
If you want to revoke all permissions of the Application, you can just delete it in Enterprise applications.

Gaelic music coming to Solstice Holiday Celebration in Asheville, Tryon
LEENA DBOUK leena.dbouk@shj.com
Many Americans know an Irish or Scottish bar tune thanks to such popular bands as the Pogues, Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly.
But Gaelic music, an umbrella term that encompasses both Irish and Scottish folk music, has ancient roots, making some of the tunes older than famous classical compositions. Many even predate Christianity on the British Isles.
It was a love for that ancient music that allowed popular fiddle player and violinist Jamie Laval to jump from being a classical artist to performing and studying traditional Gaelic music.
"I was studying chamber music at the Victoria Conservatory of Music (in British Columbia), and when summer arrived I took a job playing folk music at a venue which hosted contra dancing," Laval said. "In that area, Gaelic music was particularly influential in the folk music style. But that was my true first exposure to the Gaelic tradition."
But it would take a few years of touring with professional orchestras before he totally dedicated himself to the style.
Laval, accompanied by other musicians, poets and dancers, will perform a Scottish Solstice Holiday Celebration at 1:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday at Isis Restaurant and Music Hall in Asheville, N.C., and at 8 p.m. Monday at the Tryon Fine Arts Center in Tryon, N.C.
Laval said he has Scottish/Irish blood somewhere in his lineage, but he wasn't attracted to the Celtic music because of his ancestry.
"Despite not having a drop of Italian blood, an opera singer can still appreciate and sing Italian operas," he said. "The same goes for someone who doesn't have a German ancestry but wishes to perform Beethoven or Bach."
For Laval, Gaelic music offers a deeper understanding and connection with human nature.
"I was a classical musician for most of my life," Laval explained. "I did Celtic music on the side, but when I got under the surface of just playing the notes to a specific beat, I realized the emotion that went into that style of music, which made me appreciate how vast and complex it was.
"Unlike with classical music, where there is just one composer who writes a composition, the Celtic compositions are an amalgamation of composers building on one work, and that style really related to me on more of a human level than any other form of music."
About 65 percent of Laval performances are old pieces that range from 200 to 700 years old; the rest are original compositions written in an old voice, or what Laval calls a "tonal language."
The majority of pieces that Laval will perform at his Scottish Solstice Holiday Celebration will be older compositions.
He will be joined by a number of talented Gaelic musicians, poets and dancers, including Asheville-based guitarist David Brown, bagpiper and bombard (medieval oboe) player Rosalind Buda, piper Bill Caudill, lyric soprano Alexandria Carrico and U.S. National Scottish harp champion Kelly Brzowzski.
The show isn't exclusively Christmas-themed as it actually harkens to an earlier pre-Christian time and the celebrations that centered on the shortest day of the year.
Laval explained, "The show is seasonal. Cultures all over the world have their own ways of celebrating the solstice, and this particular one comes from the British Isles.
"So the music will be strictly in the Celtic vein/spirit. It predates Christianity but some people will recognize the material."
For example, the musicians will perform "Abbots Bromely Horn Dance," "Sussex Carol" and "Coventry Carol." These popular carols, according to Laval, used to function as dance numbers for the courts and townspeople.
"We will also be performing newer Celtic music that has a wintery/festive sound but will not necessarily be recognizable to the crowd," Laval said.
Performers and dancers will recite poetry and present a number of traditional Celtic dances throughout the show to showcase the rich cultural history from around the British Isles.

A really nice pub inside and good for listening to pompous types prattling on and on about themselves.
Looking at Frodsham you wouldn't think it would be a chavvy mess on a Saturday night, but it is, especially in Summer. This place tends to get them all in (and outside). Having said that the beer range and quality have been improved over the last couple of years. Not a place for the faint hearted at weekends but it does sell a decent pint.

Michael Phelps Returns To His Tank At Sea World
ORLANDO—Fourteen-time Olympic gold medalist and SeaWorld main attraction Michael Phelps returned to his seven-million-gallon water tank Wednesday to resume his normal schedule of performing in six shows a day for marine park crowds every day of the week.
Phelps, the 6'4", 200-pound aquatic mammal, and the first ever SeaWorld swimmer to be raised in captivity by foster swimmers (Mark Spitz and Dara Torres), was recaptured by trainer Bob Bowman in a hoop net baited with an entire Dutch apple pie following Phelps' final Olympic event last Sunday. Phelps was then tethered to the rudder of a container ship bound for St. Petersburg, guided down local waterways, and introduced back into his home habitat, the tank in SeaWorld's 5,500 seat stadium, known to park officials and visitors alike as "Phelps' Happy Harbor."
"Michael seemed really excited to be back," said Bowman, adding that the male swimmer became playful upon entering his tank, breaching the water and sounding repeatedly. "He just started swimming freestyle and backstroke, and only stopped to slide belly first onto the tank's platform so he could be fed dozens of fried egg sandwiches."
"He fell asleep at the surface of the water around midnight," Bowman added.
Though Bowman plans on continuing the long-running aquatic show "Michael, The Yankee Doodle Swim Team Captain," in which Phelps was performing prior to leaving for Beijing, Bowman said he and Phelps would begin working on an all-new production, which will debut in September with the title "Champion!" Bowman has promised this show would be the most ambitious program in the history of Olympic swimmer sea spectacles.
Bowman says one stunt called the "Flying Medal" will begin with Phelps' 14 gold medals being suspended above the water. Phelps will then enter the stadium butterfly-stroking at full speed, coursing along the surface, and with every breach of the water, placing his head through the hoop of one medal after another. If Phelps is wearing all 14 medals at the end of the stunt, Bowman said, the swimmer will be rewarded with a whole pizza and a pound of cooked enriched pasta.
Bowman confirmed that the routine would also feature the signature aquatic feats that audiences from around the world have come to expect from Phelps, such as his trademark trick of 35 flip turns in 35 seconds, nuzzling a child with his nose, and Bowman himself "surfing" on Phelps' back while the subservient sea creature swims the breaststroke.
"Those seated in the first 14 rows should be prepared to get soaked," Bowman said, admitting that Phelps' powerful dolphin kicks would be added to the new program. "Also, Michael's two friends, [Olympic swimmers] Ryan [Lochte] and Jason [Lezak], will open the show with their humorous beach ball antics."
Beginning with the 1985's "Baby Michael Celebration," Phelps has entertained SeaWorld audiences for over 20 years. Spectators are not only enthralled with Phelps' exploits in the water, but his abnormally large torso, unusually small lower body, double-jointed ankles, gargantuan eating habits, the slurring, almost human methods of vocalization he uses to communicate, and his odd-looking goggle-covered face, all of which combine to make him the most unusual sight in all of Florida.
"I have never seen a stranger yet more majestic-looking creature," said husband and father of three Glenn McKay. "Last year we went to SeaWorld San Diego and saw [Michael's female counterpart] Michelle, and even though the show was a little funnier than this one, nothing compares to watching Michael almost hover over the water after launching his trainer into the air."
"Michelle" is SeaWorld's moniker for the Olympic gold medalist who was born Natalie Coughlin.
"I liked it when he played dead and floated in the water," added McKay's 8-year-old son Brandon, who was clutching a Michael Phelps stuffed doll. "I also liked when he blew water on everyone."
Though spectators—and ticket-sales personnel—are happy that Phelps is back at SeaWorld, members of the World Society for the Conservation of Olympic Swimmers released a statement yesterday saying that these athletic mammals should be released from captivity. The statement claims that there is conclusive scientific proof that confinement in smaller pools of water, as opposed to wide-open, Olympic-sized pools, causes the swimmers sensory depravation and a shorter lifespan.
"It's clear that Michael doesn't like being at SeaWorld," WSCOS spokesperson Jonathan Haines said. "When he was placed back into his tank, the slightly loose portion of his black swim cap immediately folded over to the right side, a telltale symptom of stress and angst. And you can be certain that, just before he left for Beijing, he didn't bite that little girl's arm off because he was happy."


Our customers want to feel like we know what they are talking about, what they go through. But that can be so hard for us if we're not truly looking to serve their needs over our own.
In high school I was part of different cliques. Since I played multiple sports, I had the Hispanic soccer players, the black football players and the nerdy chess players in my circles. Because I had awesome grades, I had the smart, top of the class kids on my side. I also associated with the rockers and punks because thats the music I identified with.
So when it came time to run for President of the Student Council, it was a landslide victory. I won, not because I had the best marketing plan or campaign slogan, but because I had deep relationships amongst almost every demographic in my school. I became 'one of them' in every clique.
We entrepreneurs have the ability to become one of our customers. But it's not enough to just pick one demographic or niche area. Even within one group, there are different personality types and ways they like to be communicated with.
It's important that we have a desire to want to speak our customer's language, walk in their shoes, and find out what keeps them up at night.
You and I are on a mission of our own. God's using you and me within our own markets, our own niches, to show others what being a Godpreneur is all about. We're providing our service or product to a group of people that need to be able to relate to us so they can like, know and trust us.
You can know your customers better by doing more surveys, asking them what they would like to see you provide. You can also do quizzes and assessments to get to know their personality or buying behaviors to better speak their language.
We, like Paul, would have much more success in the spreading of our company's mission if we made it a point to become like our clients, think like they think, so we can serve them better.
Godpreneur Rule #142: Godpreneurs are devoted to thinking like their clients so they can serve them better.
If we Godpreneurs have a clear mission in life, we will not be easily distracted by the sideshows along the way.


Love the description of Zhakar, quite mysterious with some major hooks for the GM later on.
I need to know character classes and races. Don't leave me hanging!?
I'm sure the classes and races will come clear, as time goes. You know one is an elf, and given that Varisian and Kellid are human ethnicities, that narrows them down. Zhakar... well, you'll have to stay tuned to find out precisely what he is.
Just found this and I'm about to lap it up. I love after action reports and retellings, so thank you very much for the time and effort this took!

Research Awards Update: Nine Preclinical Projects Initiated in the Fourth Quarter of 2022
Key Points The Foundation's Research Awards Program initiated nine preclinical studies from October through December 2022, the fourth quarter of last year. The funded projects address brain, bone, low back pain, and breast cancer applications of focused ultrasound. The Foundation's Research Awards Program initiated nine new preclinical studies from October through December 2022, the fourth quarter of last year. The funded projects address brain, bone, low back pain, and breast cancer applications of focused ultrasound. "All of the preclinical brain projects are linked to an initiative that came out of the May 2021 glioblastoma workshop," said Lauren Powlovich, MD, the Foundation's Associate Chief Medical Officer. "The aim of this group of projects is to identify a method to better quantify the amount of drug delivered to brain tissue after blood-brain barrier opening (BBBO). We are meeting quarterly to discuss progress and new ideas." Each newly initiated project is listed below. Brain Preclinical Probing the Abilities of Contrast-Enhanced MRI to Track Microbubble-Enhanced Focused Ultrasound Nano-Medicine Delivery in the Brain and Brain Tumors led by Costas Arvanitis, PhD, at the Georgia Institute of Technology For this project, researchers will determine how to confirm therapeutic delivery of nanoparticles to the brain during microbubble-enhanced focused ultrasound (MB-FUS) procedures. The goal is to improve the delivery of therapeutic nanoparticles to brain tumors by studying optimal nanoparticle properties and methods to confirm nanoparticle delivery in the brain and brain tumors. Mapping Drug Concentrations After Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption Using MALDI Mass Spectrometry Imaging led by Nathan McDannold, PhD, at Brigham and Women's Hospital For this project, researchers will explore the use of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry to quantify the amount of therapeutic delivered to brain tissue after BBBO, then creating specific calibration curves to compare with the MRI images. The goal is to identify a method to better quantify the amount of drug delivered to the brain tissue following BBBO. PET-Labeling and Testing of Paclitaxel Nanoformulations with Microbubbles and Focused Ultrasound led by Graeme Woodworth, MD, at the University of Maryland School of Medicine For this project, researchers will determine whether PET-labeling of nanoparticle therapeutics could enable quantitative visualization of localized nanoparticle delivery during microbubble-enhanced blood-brain barrier opening with clinical focused ultrasound systems in advanced preclinical models of glioblastoma. Mapping of Antibody and Liposome Permeability into the Brain Following Focused Ultrasound Treatment Through T1/T2w Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced (DCE) Magnetic Resonance Imaging led by Antonios Pouliopoulos, PhD, at King's College Hospital in London For this project, the research team will confirm focused ultrasound–mediated delivery of antibody- and liposome-based therapies by delivering two MR-labelled model drugs across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and then conducting DCE MRI scans to determine the extent of drug delivery within the tissue. Evaluation of MRI Visualization of Focused Ultrasound–Induced Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) Opening in White Matter led by Meghan O'Reilly, PhD, at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre For this project, researchers will determine how to improve drug delivery to white matter in the brain. Contrast-enhanced MRI is used to assess changes in BBB permeability following focused ultrasound treatment but the contrast enhancement in white matter is lower than in grey matter, so research is needed to be able to use MRI visualization for both applications. MRI Compatible Optical-Driven Focus Ultrasound for Neuromodulation led by Chen Yang, PhD, at Boston University Ultrasound neural modulation is an emerging noninvasive neuromodulation tool. The goal of this project is to develop a compact, MRI-compatible, optically driven focused ultrasound source for ultrasound neural modulation with a broader accessibility than standard focused ultrasound systems. Its application in noninvasive brain modulation and its efficacy in treating epilepsy in a mouse model will be demonstrated. Body Ultrasound-Triggered Gelation to Treat Discogenic Lower Back Pain led by Constantin Coussios, PhD, at the University of Oxford This one-year collaborative study will combine the materials engineering expertise at Imperial College with the biomedical ultrasound expertise at the University of Oxford to optimize material formulations and focused ultrasound exposure parameters with the objective of translating these techniques for percutaneous nucleus pulposus replacement. Doing so would offer a new minimally invasive day case procedure to treat discogenic lower back pain and restore spinal function. Patterning of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Differentiation for Bone Regeneration Using Focused Ultrasound–Mediated Hydrogel Stiffening led by Mario Fabiilli, PhD, at the University of Michigan For this project, researchers will use focused ultrasound to alter the stiffness of a custom acoustic responsive scaffold (ARS) and stimulate bone regeneration. The ARS contains mesenchymal stem cells encapsulated within hydrogels The hydrogel acts as a surrogate for the native extracellular matrix. The studies seek to demonstrate a proof-of-concept for implanting ARS at the site of bone loss. Preclinical High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) Treatment of Breast Adenocarcinoma Using a Noninvasive Toroidal Transducer led by David Melodelima, PhD, at Inserm LabTAU For this project, researchers will determine whether HIFU ablation of breast adenocarcinoma is feasible and effective with a toroidal transducer. The group will use a clinical device that has previously been effective for liver metastases and pancreatic tumors. Learn How to Apply for a Research Award >
Donor Profile: Cassiopeia Foundation and Ethan Miller
Key Points Ethan Miller has been a principal in his family-run Cassiopeia Foundation for more than 20 years. The Cassiopeia Foundation has supported focused ultrasound research for Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. The Cassiopeia constellation Ethan Miller has been a principal in his family-run Cassiopeia Foundation for more than 20 years. He grew up in Radnor Township, Pennsylvania, outside of Philadelphia. After graduating from Haverford College with a BA in Economics in 1976, Ethan earned his law degree from the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 1979, and then practiced business law for over 25 years in St. Louis, Baltimore, and Charlottesville, VA. Today, he owns and operates an upstream oil and gas company based in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana. What was the reason for your support of the Focused Ultrasound Foundation?Cassiopeia's first grant to the Focused Ultrasound Foundation was to support its work in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Our giving honors Cassiopeia's founder, Patricia Jones Edgerton, who was afflicted with Alzheimer's for over a decade before her death. We were, and continue to be, excited about the potential for focused ultrasound to transform the treatment of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases including ALS, Parkinson's, Huntington's disease, dystonia, and essential tremor. We first heard Dr. Neal Kassell speak about the potential benefits of focused ultrasound treatment at a gathering of potential funders in 2006 or so. Neal and the Focused Ultrasound Foundation team have been in the forefront of developing and popularizing ultrasound treatment in the United States and elsewhere in the world. How does the Focused Ultrasound Foundation fit within your approach to philanthropy?Our approach to philanthropy is to find and support the best people. I first met Neal Kassell when he came to the University of Virginia Department of Neurosurgery in 1984, nearly 40 years ago, and have followed his career. Neal is not only brilliant but a visionary as well. Our approach is to identify people like Neal, provide them with necessary resources, and then stand back and watch. A lot of traditional philanthropy is risk averse. We recognize that risk-taking is required to achieve breakthroughs in medicine (and elsewhere). We are not afraid of risk and believe that the potential benefits of focused ultrasound treatments are worth taking risks for. The Cassiopeia Foundation has made hundreds of grants totaling many hundreds of millions of dollars in its 20 plus year history. I am personally proudest of the two grants we have made to the Focused Ultrasound Foundation. We are honored to support Neal Kassell and the Focused Ultrasound Foundation in their mission.

Fall intern Imogen Hequet explored machine learning and its intersection with focused ultrasound. Yi-Hsiu Chen is pursuing her PhD in Neuroscience at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University/Taipei Veterans General Hospital. She joined the Foundation this fall as a short-term research scholar to gain experience that she will take back to her team in Taiwan to help further their focused ultrasound program. During her time at the Foundation, Yi-Hsiu observed preclinical studies and clinical treatments at the University of Virginia and the University of Maryland. Learn More About Her Experience "My experience [at the Foundation was] so amazing," recalls Yi-Hsiu. "I met so many people here and discussed the research they were interested in and the next step of focused ultrasound research in our hospital in Taiwan. I have learned a lot from people I met here." Imogen Hequet, a recent graduate of Imperial College of London, worked with the Foundation's chief technology officer, Rick Hamilton, to explore machine learning and the role that it could play in medicine, specifically in the field of focused ultrasound. Learn More About Her Project "Hopefully something I have done during my internship will help to open conversations about machine learning and areas where it could add value in focused ultrasound," says Imogen.

For those looking for lots of break and action, supply chain management is a terrific focus for an IT career. Gartner estimates that the total supply chain management market for software topped $13 billion in 2017, up 11 percent from 2016.

IT professionals can find jobs in managing systems and tracking activity, quality, and schedules across the entire supply chain. Plus, there is plenty more labor to live organize structure and maintaining systems to manage that supply chain, from raw materials utter the route to post-delivery customer champion and service.
Throughout the entire SCM lifecycle, analytics (big data) plays an faultfinding role. Such analytics champion improved strategic decision-making, succor organizations ameliorate their market positions, and offer optimized returns on investment that often lead to accelerated growth and higher profits. Because there's astronomical money in the supply chain, there's too lots of opportunity, particularly for those who possess the technical skills to extract analytical insights from the wealth of data involved.
These credentials are intermediate to senior smooth in terms of their depth and breadth of coverage, and in their assumed levels of knowledge, skills, and undergo for qualified candidates. At the conclude of this article, they offer additional certification options. That's because the SCM domain is large and growing, with numerous other options that interested IT pros can pick from.
Supply chain management jobs cover lots of territory, and they comprise such titles as SC analyst, SC developer, SC administrator, SC architect, and more. medium salaries for SCM professionals vary widely by location and specialty. That said, salaries for CPIMs range from a low of under $30,000 to a tall of $117,000, with a median of about $57,000, according to SimplyHired's salary estimator. The CPSM scored the highest salary, at more than $125,000. A general search on "supply chain manager" produced the following annual salaries: $54,000 (low), $90,000 (median), $149,000 (high).
If you're seriously interested in supply chain management, certification is a Great option to foster your career. A variety of experts from the field, including a SCM project manager at Boeing, a three-member panel that included SCM practitioners and consultants, and a market research firm, utter identified certifications as anywhere from helpful to essential for aspiring SCM professionals. They can't succor but carry out likewise here.
Before digging into the minutiae of their top five SCM certifications, witness over their informal job board survey. This data reports the number of job posts nationwide for which their featured credentials were mentioned on a specific day. These numbers should give you a answerable grasp on the relative popularity and claim for each of these certifications.
The CPIM seeks to identify individuals with a strong working scholarship of supply chain management concepts and best practices. The subject matter covered in the certification training and testing includes claim management, procurement and supplier planning, material requirements planning, capacity requirements planning, sales and operations planning, master scheduling, supplier relationships. There is too a strong emphasis on attribute control and continuous improvement methods and practices.
The CPSM is issued by the Institute for Supply Management, or ISM. On its history page, the organization claims "more than 100 years of experience." They too claim that more than 60,000 CPSMs stand been earned, though this number includes both lapsed and current credentials.
The ISM takes the certification process very seriously. It uses practicing SMEs and performs minute job task analyses to determine what topics to cover on its exams. SMEs too write candidate questions, then review them as a committee, to select questions for inclusion on exams. Question banks are subject to ongoing psychometric analysis so they accurately test for real-world skills and knowledge, and reflect candidate's analytical, understanding, and problem-solving abilities.
The ISM provides a CPSM FAQ that documents medium costs to win the credential: $1,200 to $1,800 for ISM members; $2,000 to $2,400 for nonmembers. Topics on the three required CPSM exams arrive from a variety of domains, and are fully documented in the CPSM FAQ and its Exam Specifications.

In addition, ISM too offers a CPSD (Certified Professional in Supplier Diversity) credential, which seeks to succor organizations engage in supplier diversity.
There are several sources for Six Sigma certification. They chose one of the most accepted as their exemplar here. But the number of available jobs undercount the total claim for Six Sigma-certified Black Belts, because there's more than one authorized sponsor for this benign of certification.
Six Sigma Black Belts deeply understand the DMAIC model (define, measure, analyze, ameliorate and control) as it relates to Six Sigma principles and practices, particularly as it relates to manufacturing and service delivery. They too possess basic scholarship about scrawny enterprise concepts, and can identify non-value-added elements and activities. They too know how to exhaust specific tools and techniques.
CSSBB certification requires two completed projects, each with a signed affidavit.

Recertification is required every three years. ASQ and other certifying organizations offer other Six Sigma credentials as well, for those interested in attribute control and scrawny enterprise principles.
Not only is this Oracle credential a actual mouthful, it's one of the most popular, as measured by specific mention in the job posting sites. Although this certification is more narrowly focused than the other five designations – it takes purchasing for the supply chain as its primary topic – it appears to live in tall and general demand. That likely reflects Oracle's predominant position in the enterprise database market, as much as it reflects the consequence of best purchasing procedures and practices within the broader domain of SCM.
Visit the utter Certifications page at Oracle University to notice everything that's available in Oracle's stupendous certification program. Dozens of items there, primarily under the Applications and Oracle Cloud headings, focus on SCM topics and technologies.
Once you proceed outside their top five picks, there are still plenty of SCM certification options from which IT pros can pick to pursue their career progress and advancement options. SAP, for example, offers three Application (Solution) Consultant SAP SCM credentials: one on Planning & Manufacturing, one on ERP Procurement (Material Management), and one on ERP Order Fulfillment (Sales Order Management). Taken en masse, these three items almost matched the job counts for the Six Sigma Black Belt that finished in eventual site in their top five, so these credentials stand some market presence and heft.
Relative newcomer Kinaxis, which offers multiple certifications for its RapidResponse product, may too live worth a look. Their current credentials cover people who solve industry issues using simulations (called Contributors); developers who build and modify RapidResponse resources, such as worksheets, dashboards, and alerts (called Authors); and people who install, configure, and maintain RapidResponse systems users and data (called Administrators). Learn more about their offerings on the company's Certification Program home page.
Other SCM certifications are no doubt available in this sedulous and energetic marketplace. As always, they hint that you witness at any other player's program (and business) longevity, the size of their certified population, and the rigor of their certification program (Do they carry out job task analysis? Psychometrics? Formal item evaluation and screening?) before investing your hard-earned money and precious time into such offerings. But with SCM such a potent obligate in the workplace, we're convinced it's a Great focus for a long and piquant IT career.

Tickets for this concert have been on sale since July.
Critics have often said that Miley's onstage "antics" (crotch grabbing and twerking) are vulgar.
Miley's representatives did not respond to a request for a comment and the concert organizers in the Dominican Republic have not commented on the ban.
My guess is that Miley probably isn't fazed by the ban, she's probably off somewhere twerking and taking selfies with her tongue out.

referee's report card for the 8th republican debate
February 7, 2016 - Last night was the 8th Republican debate and the last one before the New Hampshire Primary. Marco Rubio has been rising in the polls since his better-than-expected finish in the Iowa Caucus. Unsurprisingly, this led to him being the most attacked candidate on the stage last night.
As always, Ballotball.com was playing referee. We didn't pick a winner—you, the voter, should decide that for yourself. But we WILL help keep the bout civil by throwing flags and calling penalties in real time. There were essentially only 3 rules: answer the question, don't stray off topic, and don't compare any of your opponents to the Nazis.
Below are the results (all quotes come from the debate transcript available here).
The candidates
Ted Cruz - Current Delegates: 8 (A candidate needs 1,237 delegates to win the Republican nomination)
1 penalty
Failure to answer: Cruz was asked about his statement declaring that Trump has a temperament that cannot "keep the country safe." Cruz responded by explaining what type of temperament he has, but did not refer to Trump at all. This was probably a strategy to keep Trump from responding, but it was also a dodge of the original question.
Donald Trump - Current Delegates: 7
Failure to answer: During a discussion on North Korea's recent missile launch, Donald Trump didn't refer to North Korea at all. Instead, he took the time to disagree with Rubio's assertion that President Obama knows what he's doing and called Obama "totally incompetent."
Marco Rubio - Current Delegates: 7
3 penalties
Failure to stay on topic: When asked to defend himself against Chris Christie's criticism that he was not ready to be president, Rubio spoke briefly about his experience in the Senate. He then pivoted to an attack on Christie's record in New Jersey, and then spent the majority of his time continuing his attack on President Obama, and how he wants to change America for the worse.
Failure to answer: Rubio was asked about whether he thinks Donald Trump is a conservative. Rubio defined conservatism as a belief in limited government, free enterprise, and national defense, but didn't talk about whether or not he thought Trump believed in these concepts.
Failure to answer: Marco Rubio was asked point blank, "Do you believe waterboarding is torture?" He responded by delineating the difference between law enforcement and anti-terror activities, but did not mention waterboarding or identify it as torture.
Dr. Ben Carson - Current Delegates: 3
Failure to answer: Dr. Carson was asked what he thought Cruz should do to discipline his staff for spreading false reports that Carson was quitting the race on the night of the Iowa Caucus. Carson was quick to bring up Ronald Reagan's 11th commandment, "Thou shall not attack a fellow Republican," but he did not discuss what he thought Cruz should do about the problem.
Failure to answer: During a discussion on whether women should apply for selective service, Dr. Carson lamented the poor treatment of American veterans and the fact that an estimated 22 veterans per day commit suicide. It's an important issue, but it wasn't the question.
Jeb Bush - Current Delegates: 1
Failure to answer: Bush was asked why his opinion of Marco Rubio had changed. In 2012, he said that Rubio was experienced and would make a great Vice President for Mitt Romney. However, in the 2016 campaign, he is claiming that Rubio has done "nothing" in the Senate and is not experienced. Bush quickly changed the subject to talk about his own experience and ability to lead.
Failure to answer: Bush was asked about a poll that shows that 68% of Americans favor increasing taxes on millionaires. He responded by saying that he "wanted to see more millionaires" which is a pretty obvious dodge of the question. He then said that overtaxing the rich was a bad idea, but never addressed why so many Americans disagree with him.
John Kasich - Current Delegates: 1
Failure to answer: During a discussion on how Washington is perceived as failing the American people, Kasich was asked if he thought it was because the government makes "too many deals, or too few?" Kasich just complained about a lack of leadership and then talked about his experiences as the Governor of Ohio.
Chris Christie - Current Delegates: 0
Failure to stay on topic: Christie was asked about John Kasich's criticism of his New Jersey record. He briefly defended his record before going off topic and attacking President Obama for being incompetent and Marco Rubio for not understanding that fact.
explaining The Penalties
Tonight's debate rules are somewhere between a basketball game and a spelling bee...
Candidates can receive a foul for the following infractions:
Failing to answer a question
This one is pretty self explanatory. Candidates might have a good reason to avoid the question, but this is a debate and if you're not here to answer the questions, then it's just a televised press conference.
Failure to stay on topic
Also self-explanatory (particularly if you've ever seen a presidential debate before). For instance, in an earlier debate, Lindsey Graham was asked about his opinion on the right of bakers to refuse to cater a gay wedding. He responded by saying: "Whether you're the wedding cake baker or the gay couple or the Baptist preacher, radical Islam would kill you all if they could."
Candidates can receive a technical foul by comparing their opponents to the Nazis.
This rule might be controversial due to the innumerable times Donald Trump's opponents have compared his xenophobic policies to Nazism. However, going back to the first debate, Ballotball has held a zero-tolerance policy towards Nazi comparisons. We flagged Lindsey Graham for comparing ISIL to the Nazis, and we were watching Governor Mike Huckabee closely after he compared President Obama to the Nazis after he agreed to the Iran nuclear deal (this didn't happen during a debate, so no penalty was issued). The reason for this rule is threefold:
Nazi comparisons are lazy. If you'd like to compare Donald Trump's ban on Muslims entering the country to a historical precedent, why not try McCarthyism, or the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, or the Jim Crow south? Instead, people always grab the low-hanging fruit of the Nazis.
Nazi comparisons ignore the fact that there are still Nazi parties alive and well in many countries. They have not receded to the dustbin of history; currently, they have at least one member sitting in the European Parliament.
This is a debate, and nothing shuts down a debate faster than a Nazi comparison. It is our strong opinion that such comparisons send all parties to the barricades and prevent anyone from actually communicating. Disagree strongly, and make your case the best you can, but leave the Nazi metaphors at home, please.

Markakis was added to the active roster on Wednesday after changing his mind about sitting out the year. Following the homer, Braves players circled home plate with plenty of distance, waving their hands in the air as Markakis finished his trot. Manager Charlie Montoyo said before the game Waguespack was recalled when right-hander Trent Thornton was placed on the 10-day injured list. Following a chat with home plate umpire Alan Porter, Waguespack left the field without making a pitch and Montoyo instead brought in Rafael Dolis.
Done for the year: Braves ace Soroka felled by torn Achilles
(AP Photo/John Bazemore)ATLANTA When Mike Soroka's teammates heard him scream, they feared the worst. If Mike Soroka can't walk off the field, you know it's pretty serious, said Freddie Freeman, the Atlanta Braves' slugging first baseman. Max Fried, a 17-game winner last season, is the only starter the Braves can really count on at this point. A native of Canada, Soroka went 13-4 with a dazzling 2.68 ERA in 2019, earning a spot in the All-Star Game. Now, just 11 games into a 60-game sprint, the Braves have a huge hole at the top of their rotation.

(AP Photo/Jeff Roberson, File)ATLANTA Freddie Freeman doesn't know if he has time to be ready for the Atlanta Braves' opener. Following a scary journey in his battle with COVID-19, Freeman is grateful to even have a chance. Asked what he's looking to see from Freeman, Snitker said, I dont think I have to look for anything. Freeman was one of four teammates to test positive at the start of summer camp.
MLB's testing sweep brings some success but optics are issue
PHOENIX Major League Baseball's COVID-19 testing sweep appears to be having some success even as large swaths of the United States continue to struggle with containing the fast-spreading virus. In addition to five players, one staff member tested positive. The solution here is really to make sure that we expand testing, Adalja told The Associated Press. Testing results will be watched closely as players and coaches disperse around the country, travel on buses and planes, and stay in hotels. Freeman and and pitcher Touki Toussaint who also previously tested positive for the virus worked out at Truist Park on Friday.
Posey out for 2020 as MLB teams deal with churning rosters
Posey a six-time All-Star and 2012 NL MVP said his family finalized the adoption of identical twin girls this week. Holt has a young family and his wife is pregnant, but he decided to leave them at home while he went to Milwaukee for the next three months. First baseman and team leader Freddie Freeman, premier reliever Will Smith, right-hander Touki Toussaint and infielder Pete Kozma tested positive for coronavirus. Epstein said two coaches tested positive prior to the intake process. A front office member tested positive during the intake.
Braves 'ultimate pro' OF Nick Markakis opts out of season
ATLANTA Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis opted out of the 2020 season on Monday due to increased concerns about the coronavirus pandemic. Markakis is the second Atlanta veteran in two days to announce plans to sit out the 60-game season. Just hearing him, the way he sounded on the phone, it was tough, Markakis said. Braves first base coach Eric Young Sr. also will sit out the season. Markakis, Ender Inciarte and Adam Duvall were joined by rookies Cristian Pache and Drew Waters in the outfield competition.
Braves' Felix Hernandez opts out of season due to pandemic
ATLANTA Former Cy Young winner Flix Hernndez has opted out of the 2020 season, at least temporarily ending his bid to revive his career with the Atlanta Braves. Braves manager Brian Snitker said Sunday that Hernndez, 34, opted out due to the coronavirus pandemic. Snitker said Hernndez may have realized it is way, way different now as players must deal with the concerns of trying to start the season during the pandemic. The right-hander called King Felix posted a 6.40 ERA, was 1-8 in 15 starts and lost his spot in the rotation. Hernndez made a strong early impression in spring training and may have been on track for winning a spot in the rotation before the coronavirus pandemic delayed the season.
Tough day for MLB: Price out, Freeman positive, Tanaka hurt
(AP Photo/Ross D. Franklin, File)Freddie Freeman tests positive for COVID-19. Due to concerns about medical privacy laws, MLB isnt making a practice of disclosing which players test positive. For example, Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said the team doesnt intend to reveal to the general public if anyone has tested positive. In the Braves case, the four players who tested positive permitted Snitker to reveal their names. Freeman joins Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon as four-time All-Stars who have tested positive.
