Star Wars: The Old Republic launched as a subscription-based MMORPG. In order to dive into the BioWare tailored version of George Lucas' universe, gamers had to pony up a monthly charge.
That subscription may have been too much to overcome for BioWare's foray into the galaxy far, far away. SWTOR will be free-to-play starting this fall.
Here, by way of the press release sent out by BioWare and EA, is how the game will be broken down later this year.
Free-to-Play –The first 50 levels will be free-to-play, with some restrictions on access to new content and advanced player features. Some restrictions can be "unlocked" with Cartel Coins.
The MMORPG world is a tough one to crack for major companies. World of Warcraft is the exception, not the rule; most MMOs are lucky to pull in sustainable profits. To be incredible blockbusters with a massive flow of money? That's not normal.
The free-to-play model, though, is encouraging. Gamers who want to experience a new universe without paying a monthly fee can do so; once they're hooked, the extra price for extra goods actually makes sense.
Will this take SWTOR from simply surviving to being strongly successful? Who knows… But, I bet a lot more gamers will be willing to give the game a try.

Minister: French killing spree suspect may be dead
JOHANNA DECORSE and SARAH DiLORENZO
March 22, 2012 Updated: July 27, 2017 5:27 a.m.
TOULOUSE, France (AP) -- The suspect in an radical Islam-linked killing spree in southern France has stopped communicating with authorities and may have committed suicide, the interior minister said Thursday, as a standoff between the gunman and hundreds of police entered a second day.
Claude Gueant said suspect Mohamed Merah, holed up in an apartment in the southern city of Toulouse, has not contacted negotiators since Wednesday night.
"We hope that he is still alive," Gueant said, stressing that authorities' priority is to capture him alive. He said the gunman earlier told negotiators that he wanted to "die with weapons in his hands."
Elite police squads set off sporadic blasts throughout the night and into the morning -- some blew off the apartment's shutters -- in what officials described as a tactic aimed to pressure 24-year-old Merah to give up.
Two or three gunshots were heard from the area of the apartment building overnight. The interior minister said the source of the gunshots was unclear.
Authorities say Merah has boasted about carrying out the shootings of three Jewish schoolchildren, a rabbi, and three French paratroopers in three separate incidents over the last two weeks. They are believed to be the first incidents of killings inspired by Islamic radical motives in France in more than a decade.
Gueant said "it's rather strange that he never reacted" to the detonations overnight.
Gueant arrived at the scene Thursday morning, as did silver-helmeted firefighters with first aid materials, including what appeared to be two stretchers. No information was reported about whether there were new injuries or whether that was just a precautionary measure.
Police were using their advantages -- numbers, firepower and psychological pressure -- in hopes of wearing down Merah, who has had no water, electricity, gas or most likely sleep since the early hours of Wednesday.
Holed up alone in an otherwise evacuated apartment building, Merah clung to his few remaining assets, like a small arsenal and authorities' hopes of taking him alive. He appeared to toy with police negotiators -- first saying he would surrender in the afternoon, then under the cover of darkness, then reneging on those pledges altogether, officials said.
Authorities said Merah, a French citizen of Algerian descent, espoused a radical form of Islam and had been to Afghanistan and the Pakistani militant stronghold of Waziristan, where he claimed to have received training from al-Qaida.
They said he told negotiators he killed a rabbi and three young children at a Jewish school on Monday and three French paratroopers last week to avenge the deaths of Palestinian children and to protest the French army's involvement in Afghanistan, as well as a government ban last year on face-covering Islamic veils.
French authorities -- like others across Europe -- have long been concerned about "lone-wolf" attacks by young, Internet-savvy militants who find radical beliefs online, since they are harder to find and track.
"Lone wolves are formidable adversaries," Gueant said.
He defended France's efforts to fight terrorism over the past decade, saying 700 people have been detained and about 60 "Islamists with terrorist tendencies" are currently in French prisons.
Merah's lawyer predicted a dramatic and somber end to the standoff.
"He wants to show he is exceptional, omnipotent, and this approach can only end up as something tragic," Christian Etelin said on news channel i-Tele on Thursday.
He said Merah had tried to join the military but was rejected. He said Merah was also disillusioned after a string of convictions for petty crimes and after efforts to reduce his sentences through work programs failed.
"He felt rejected by the periods of detention he was handed out, and for his wish to defend France in the army. Now, he is in a process of hate," Etelin said.
"He has no regrets, except not having more time to kill more people, and he boasts that he has brought France to its knees," prosecutor Francois Molins told a news conference Wednesday.
He said the suspect had plans to kill another soldier -- prompting the police raid at around 3 a.m. Wednesday. After it erupted into a firefight, wounding two police, a standoff ensued, with on-and-off negotiations with the suspect that lasted through the night.

Re: Previous years question papers for MBA course?
I have given information about MBA course exam,also ihave attached question papers belloow.
he Master of Business Administration (MBA or M.B.A.) is a master's degree in business administration, which attracts people from a wide range of academic disciplines. The MBA designation originated in the United States, emerging from the late 19th century as the country industrialized and companies sought out scientific approaches to management. The core courses in the MBA program are designed to introduce students to the various areas of business such as accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, operations management, etc. Students in MBA programs have the option of taking general business courses throughout the program or can select an area of concentration and focus approximately one-fourth of their studies in this subject.
Accreditation bodies exist specifically for MBA programs to ensure consistency and quality of graduate business education. Business schools in many countries offer MBA programs tailored to full-time, part-time, executive, and distance learning students, with specialized concentrations.
There are good scope for MBA. IT is master degree of business administration.
i have atteched some paper , i hope that it will help you .


How to fix cracked cambox covers.
All cambox covers are cracked and bent, that is the flange is distorted due to the three centre bolts being tightened down to several tons of foot pounds of torque. First job is to flatten the flange. Any charity shop will have a mirror of the type that hung above Grandma's fireplace. These mirrors are wooden backed and very strong. A touch of fine grinding paste and patient rubbing will have the cambox flange good as new in no time. Now for the cracked bosses, I turned up three aluminium bosses. These were 1 inch in diameter by 3/8th inch thick with a 3/8th hole through the middle. I bolted these bosses to the top of the cambox and the local welder ( a bit too enthusiastic with the apparatus ) welded the bosses in place. I countersunk the holes underneath for clearance on the studs, I then machined the bosses to 1/4 inch thick. Then I turned my attention to the fixing nuts. I used 19 mm hex bar and machined these with a 3/8th spigot. I then made three brass washers and soft soldered them onto the nuts. A final turn on the lathe to true the brass washers completed the nuts. I made three soft washers as gaskets for the nuts. Engine top end now oil tight.
Repaired and countersunk fixing hole.

Cation distribution and valence in synthetic Al-Mn-O and Fe-Mn-O spinels under varying fO2 conditions
DOI: 10.1180/mgm.2018.109
Authors: T. N. Stokes (University of Edinburgh) , G. D. Bromiley (Università degli Studi di Milano) , G. D. Gatta (Università degli Studi di Milano) , N. Rotiroti (Università degli Studi di Milano) , N. J. Potts (University of Edinburgh) , K. Saunders (University of Edinburgh)
Co-authored by industrial partner: No
Type: Journal Paper
Journal: Mineralogical Magazine
State: Published (Approved)
Diamond Proposal Number(s): 10070
Abstract: The spinel group minerals, found in a range of igneous rocks, are resistant to weathering and can incorporate several multivalent elements, meaning they have the potential to provide insight into redox conditions of parental magmas. Naturally occurring spinel can contain varying quantities of Mn, an element which occurs terrestrially and extraterrestrially as Mn2+, Mn3+, Mn4+ and Mn5+. However, a lack of information on the effects of oxygen fugacity (fO2) on: (1) Mn valence state and cation distribution, and (2) on spinel-melt partitioning means that the potential for a Mn-in-spinel oxy-barometer remains largely untested. Here, we use electron probe microanalysis, micro-focus X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES) spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) to investigate cation distribution and valence state in spinels in the Al-Mn-O and Fe-Mn-O systems synthesized at ambient pressure under varying fO2 conditions. In contrast to previous studies, we find that the spectral resolution of the Mn K edge XANES spectra is insufficient to provide quantitative data on Mn valence state and site occupancy, although it does verify that Mn is incorporated as both Mn2+ and Mn3+, distributed over tetrahedral and octahedral sites. Combination of data from XANES and SC-XRD refinements can, however, be used to model Mn, Al and Fe valence and site occupancy. It would be expected that Mn-Fe spinels have the potential to record fO2 conditions in parental melts due to changes to the octahedral site under more reducing conditions. However, decoupling the effects of temperature and oxygen fugacity on the TFe3+-TMn2+ exchange in the Mn-Fe spinels remains challenging. In contrast, little variation is noted in Mn-Al spinels as a function of fO2, implying that crystal chemistry and cation site geometry may significantly influence cation distribution, and by inference, crystal-melt partitioning, in spinel group minerals.

G&BB: Strong prayers to your dad.
And to the rest of the Plunderers who might be under the quilt still, loving hugs and strong prayers to you all.
My picture on the quilt is in black velvet with diamonds sprinkled around. I'm also wearing a crown. I'm beautiful.
Yes Princess Sam – it is only fitting. Too bad th quilt was before our time too. There could have been a whole Royal section.
We may have to leave poetry weaving to the rest of the gang today. Big shew coming up this weekend, and Mama keeps shaking her head over all the things she wanted to get ready, needed to get ready, was sure she was going to get ready. Anyway, we need to go hold her feet down under the work table so she actually does some work!
In the deep bowels of earth, shadows played upon the rocks.
Course together in the bowels of the earth.
When indigo turns to slate.
Rising, rising like the phoenix bringing forth a new day.
Sammie, you are beautiful in your pink tiara.
I wish we could have been part of the quilt, too. What a wonderful gift all youse gave to OFA.
Good morning. We are very impressed with the poem, but we got nuttin.
Have a busy, productive day Amalia.
Barb is doing cleaning stuff and some organizational things today. Also made an appointment with the dentist out in Lena. A filling fell out and Barb has to go out there next Wed. to bring back Peaches and her gang, so they are going to work her in. Do not like going to the dentist.
Sammy, yes you are beautiful. We love seeing the quilt!
The poem is a thing of beauty.
Wolfie: We have woven your lines into it…"for somewhere in Middle Earth the sprites are feasting".
Seeing the quilt agan brings back good memories.
I love the poem and poetry isn't usually my thing. Thanks for putting it together, Stover.
Remember when we were wondering how many books it took to do well on the bestseller lists? This isn't much info, but Lee Child's new book sold 60,000 copies to go on the lists at #1.
Wolfie's line is, "Intently guarded, yet joyful." It's excellent.
Macy, The Rangers need to win this game today. I will be following it on the internet and chewing my toenails. It isn't televised for me.
Thanks for the info Siber H. (Whispering) I don't think I've ever read anything by Lee Child.
LOL! Butterscotch pie coming up.
Spence does love the Plunderer Quilt!
Wish we could have been here for it too.
Barb&Magpie: There is a place on our printer where the camera SD card fits into for printing photos and also on the front of the computer.
O.Howlers: We forgot to say…your story of Misha Moonman & Sasha the other day was very touching.
B: Thinking of the verse about the fake cake and picturing the feast of the little people. Perhaps Wolfie has come up with the beginnings of a new poem.
Butterscotch! Go Nationals! And congrats to Wookie's team.
Siber-H: The part of Jack Reacher soon to be played by Tom Cruise. Gah! How can we forget.
Bear, I just read recently that Lee Child made a point in his newest book of saying that Reacher is 6 feet 5 inches tall.
The rest of the cast in the film will be dwarfs, making Tom Cruise look tall.
Good morning all. We here have major quilt envy…wish we would have been on this here blog back then, because just like Oley…if you weren't here from the beginning you will never be considered a local.
Does that mean we can't be Plunderers (a group within the group here on the blog)?
MollyPop's Mom: And even then he would have to wear platform shoes and stand on a box.
Gah! I just mentioned the forbidden shows and am now being moderated.
MollyPop's Mom: Good one! And even then he would have to wear platform shews and stand on a box.
Howlers: Of course you are Plunderers.
The stupid broad said well that is the problem. The other husky is good and stays around so she can just be let out. But this one doesn't !!!
GRRRRRR we are all in very bad moods now.
Oley, Of course youse guys are Plunderers! And Rose too.
Off to Wally World to see if their universal USB cord will work on the camera. If not Barb found them on EBay for under $5.00. She is not ths sharpest knife in the drawer, thus she can't figure out where to stick that little card from the camera.
Didn't mean to leave you out Bear. You are a Plunderer also.
Bee, Could you give us the short definition of Plunderer again?
We were telling Kelly what it means, but sort of stumbled through it. Your wording was better.
Howlers: We feel sorry for BOTH those Huskies. Do you give away one of your kids just because it misbehaves? We think not!
Masquers, the reason is the divorce. She said that hubby was supposed to take this husky. Now please tell us, when 2-leggeds get divorced, is it normal for them to find other homes for their children?
Mom was mean to that woman and the woman mumbled "well I was just given your number by Godfrey's" and that was that. Now we are worried about those huskies, when we should have told her to call a rescue. Then again, we don't have good feelings about rescues. Why would our friend give someone Mom's cell number? We are not happy about that. No we are not.
Mom is always screaming about how she hates people. But we don't hate people. We love 'em. Especially the 2-leggeds that get on this here blog with our fellow Members of the Nation Within.
Fellow Sibers, I agree with you about the phone number. We would be just as unhappy as you are.
Husky Rescue here will try to work with people like that woman and try to solve the problem some way other than giving up the dog. We have even helped fix or buld fence for people. Something tells me that would not work with this woman. She wants an easy way out just like so many other people.
Don't feel bad about your mom being "mean". My mom has been known to lose patience with people like that woman. Mom says we can't all be diplomats.
This goes without saying, but all you guys are Plunderers. It makes no difference when you joined the blog. Being a Plunderer is a state of mind, not a calendar date.
And anyone who says youse all aren't Plunderers, you jut let us know and we'll grab em by the pantleg!
Barb: "One just plunders on" ("plunder" from the German word for baggage): It means to work against all odds to find solutions to difficulties; to sort through the irrelevant junk (baggage) to find the thing that matters.
What a dumb poem. It doesn't have anything about a pretty Maltese sprinkled with diamonds twinkling in the sun light.
T&G: I wrote down the new lines.
Regarding being a "Plunderer": Siber H said it very well.
Sam: You're free to add lines.
We are plundering on here, Dear Plunderers.
Got a phone call that my glasses were ready. Hmm. I remember going to the eye doctor's and picking some out. But I had just had some maybe bad news and needed to get home to spell Zoë and I had NO IDEA what I had picked out. I knew my computer glasses were the same as my old glasses but a different color, but my long distance?
All I could remember was a shape I didn't usually use and that I had tried on a mess of them until I just said "Whatever" and picked on out.
I was concerned that I had gone with something that had sparkles?
Luckily that wasn't so. Turns out to be metal with a slight sort of dark pink color.
Hope you and Zoe are eating well, and we think you both should make plans to go out somewhere together. Restaurant? Movie? Get out of the house. Relax. Unwind. It is hard to take that first step but we think it would help to free up your minds and soothe your hearts.
MPM, LOL! I'm sure they not only casted dwarfs, but have given Tom Cruise Frankenstein height shoes to wear.
B&M, thank you for considering me a Plunderer. It is an honor.
Ooops, I said the dreaded word, and now my comment is awaiting moderation.
Melanie: I think you should have gotten glasses with sparkles!
Wose: The Blog Moderator is on the job this morning…shielding the innocent Plunderer Pack from the evils of the world.
Every quilt needs a pillow. Could we not make a large patchwork pillow featuring small pieces with just our names on it? Everyone could select their own fabric colors and embroider or paint their names on it. Another good memory of all of us bloggers and the new ones that have become regulars after the quilt. Or if the quilt needs to just be its own unique gift to Spence, the pillow could be up for auction (maybe Spence would bid for it–heh, heh).
Golly….making a Plunderer pillow sounds like a really good idea and a way to update the growing list of Plunderers!
CHobbit – That's a good idea. It should be only for the new people and then the usual 6 squares for Rio.
Mollys Mom: You're on a roll!
P.S. The Nationals just won their 98th game to end their regular season. Also sorry for Macy, Oakland is leading Texas 1-0 right now.
Could not find the USB cord at WalMart so went on line to ebay and they have a ton, and cheap. Right after it arrives I will find the other one in whatever box I put it in for safe keeping.
Cold and gloomy here, a goood day for a pot of chili.
Bee, thanks for the definition.
We like the pillow idea for the newbies.
Texas now leads Oakland 5-3 GO RANGERS!!!
SiberH — I think it is better than that. I think it is 5-1 for Texas after 3 and 1/2 innings. Go Rangers!
The Nationals, with 98 wins, will lead the majors in that regard. Cincinnati may match them if they win tonight, but the Nationals actually have the advantage over Cincinatti in terms of head-to-head play, so the Nationals have the best record in the majors this year.
When are the playoffs and the world series over? Just kidding….
B., we're almost there. The Yankees will win the Wold Series and then it's all over.
B: Looks like you are going to be busy baking pies.
Wookie, You are correct. That 3 was a typo on my part.
Stover, Hang on. The regular baseball season is at an end. We have the playoffs next and then the World Series, and then darkness and depression until next Spring.
Siber H: There's the Iditarod.
B.Stover, I did get that thingy you put on reading glasses so they drape on one's bosom. Fake pearls and silver sparkly things.
This was to bother my guys. Hmmm, I am finding it useful though.
I think that sounds lovely Melanie…pearls and silvery sparkly things.
The Rockies game starts at 5:10 this evening.
gah, The Rangers have lost this game.
The Prof and I will be at the Iditarod! Yipeee!
Rio! Are you okay? I worry about you when you are not on the blog.
Sammie, are you watching the Yankee game?
Wose, I can't get the game. Are we winning?
Yes, Sammie, we are winning 5-1 in the 4th. HR's for Cano and Granderson.
Oh, and Sammie, Tampa Bay is winning over the Orioles so far….
Rio's friend had to take her mother to the bus station today. So she is offline for now. She will return.
Oh, and Melanie. The only thing I had to do with that map was to tell Dawson she was awesome. I think I drove her to the post office also.
If I am remembering correctly.
Thanks, Staff. I forgot about that.
Hooray!….We are back home from waiting around forever at the bo-dunk place they call a bus station in this town…wheeze!…It is windy and cold outside but she insisted on taking us for a walk when we got back…snort!…So now we have had our supper and are tucked in for the night…sneeze!
Rockies!…Are behind the Snakes in the 5th. This is their last game…Sob!sob!Sob!…wheeze!
Wookie!…Awesome and exciting news about your team!…snort!…I know you have waited a long time for this…heh!…Enjoy every moment of it. SiberH and I will come along for the ride…woooooo!
News!…My friend is totally tired tonight, but she says she will be home with me and Beau for the next 5 days straight!…snort!…This is very good news as I was really worried about her lately. She didn't seem like herself. I guess thats what extended lengths of intense stress does to some people, one being my friend….sniff!…She wants to enjoy life, she does not want to be stressed out and unhappy all the time..grunt!…Sort of like me!me!me!…heh!…I say, just never go back to the busy-place. What would happen?…sniff!
Plunderers!…Of course everyone here is a Plunderer! Even those regular Lurkers who will not step forward but contribute to the Snowhook Boutiques and Auctions…heh!…Are youse kidding me? What we've been through together sort of tugs at my pug-heart strings right now…sniff!…Gosh, all the ups and downs and all arounds. What other blog "Book-Club" hangs together like we do?? …snort!…None I bet!
Yeep!….The Presidential debates are starting right now!…snort!…It is here in my state you know. Traffic Nightmare to say the least…heh!…Not for me though…sniff!
We are going to watch the debate.
Wose, thanks for the game update. Please keep me posted.
We are watching the debate too. Be back tomorrow. Sweet dreams to all of you.
SiberH!…Hows the game going or are you watching the circus too?…snort!
Not watching the debates – New York already voted the electoral votes. I might as well go to bed. Every vote does not count.
Rio, It is the bottom of the 8th and the Rockies lead 2-1.
No, I am not watching the circus.
Beau!…He is wondering why her mother is not here tonight…sniff!…I guess no one explained to him the whole travel plan …heh!…It's not on me, so he can just be a worry-wort all night long….chorkel!
Sam, I agree wuth you. Every vote does not count.
Sammie!…That sounds like true Injustice to me…sniff!…Why or why is it like that in your State?…grump!
And Siber-H, my girl and my boy are voting for the first time. They and their friends are very is disappointed. They have been told forever that in America every vote counts.
Rio, it's the darn electoral college. In New York State, since 1988, the vote has gone to the democratic candidate. It's done before anyone goes to the polls, so they're not going.
Grump!…So Obama gets the vote no matter what the people say?…grrroooowwwwwl!…That is so unfair. And I would say that even if it was the Repub-lick-an vote getting in there without the peoples vote…..grump!…How can this Be? That is very demoralizing to say the least…sniff!
It can be difficult enough as it is to get some young people interested in voting.
The Yankees are about to win the AL East.
Awwwww!…shucks!…At least I am happy that Rose and Mollysmom will be thrilled…grump!spit!kick!
One more out and the Rockies win this game.
SiberH!…Someone here thinks this election is a very important election, so …grump!…we are missing the LAST GAME of the season. We do appreciate your updates very much…chuffle!
WOOOOOOO!….And the Debate is over just as the Rockies win the last game of the season!!!….whew~…Thank dawg!
Opinion!…In my flat-headed-pug opinion, I think the Debate went very well. I did notice at first the candidates were shown looking away from the camera while answering questions…sniff!…I think the other debates will be very interesting and the best thing is they will not be in our state…gruffle!
The Twins lost today. They are worst in their division for the 2nd year in a row.
In most states, individual votes don't matter, because there is a large majority one way or the other. There is a very small number of swing states, where the electoral votes are truly up for grabs.
Shiek had a very bad incident again this afternoon, but has recovered once again. Fall has not been good to him so far.
HOLY!..CRAP!….Are youse guys kidding me about the Electoral Vote?…sniff!…No wonder no one votes anymore…grump!grump! and spit!twice!….wheeze!
Voting!…I still think it is important to vote. NO matter what This is what our freedom is all about…grunt!…Do the vote. just do it….sniff!
Twins!…One day – and I can see it clearly. The Rockies vs The Twins in the Wor;d Series…heh!…We win, of course in this scenario….snuffle!
Goodnight!…Tomorrow will be a stressless day for someone here just as Beau and I live all the time…heh!…She says sleep now is very important. So we are off to our beds. Beau to his, with his paws straight up in the air…heh!…Looks funny, but he is so comfortable…snort!…Plus, I can get on the big bed without him knowing…heh!heh!
I vote pug. For everything.
We vote butterscotch. For everything.
Mighty Josh can't catch a frazzlesnacking fly ball.
We are bummed. And now we have to play some bird team to stay in the race?
On a positive note, I got my nails done today and they look fab. Plus I don't make so much clickedy-clack on the wood floor.
Rose – Yankees indeed! Clobbering the hated Sox in a game they didn't have to win anyway. A-Rod is going into playoff mode again I fear, but if we do have a World Series game in the Bronx, I will be there. Still in the Valley, but flying back to the real world tomorrow. Good night Chet.


I would like to have this as a general feature for any workflow, so I can decide on sharing history and results on a per-workflow and per-user basis. As well as for collections.
Currently, the Alteryx Server does not really work well for collaborating on workflows. There is a lot to be desired if multiple users are creating and using workflows. A shared history of workflows would help a lot!
Another vote for allowing all members of a Private Studio to administer "shared schedules". Thanks!
This is critical to the way my team operates. If the developer of the workflow is out of office, it's extremely difficult to troubleshoot without being able to see the results of a workflow. I was very surprised this wasn't a feature of Alteryx Server. My team also shares workflows quite frequently, where several people may make small changes or enhancements and then re-schedule the job. How will the rest of the team know which version was last scheduled???
Would it be possible to have an option: Do we want the owners to see the schedule run details, or all members within the collection --> So we can custom handle based on private studio requirements.
This would be very beneficial to have all users of a studio manage the schedules regardless of the who originally created the schedule.
This feature is crucial to my team. Without it we have very limited visibility on which workflows are running.
I think this should be an essential feature of the tool. Most server deployments if not all are highly collaborative.
Just started sharing a studio with another co-worker in order to back each other up and I was really surprised the schedules are not visible to him. Can we get this in the next version? It is crucial for collaboration. Thanks!
Another vote for this enhancement. Ran into this challenge yesterday while debugging an issue with a scheduled workflow. Couldn't see any of the logs to help troubleshoot.
Agreed -- Having the ability to share schedules should be on the front-end of new enhancements.


Albert Einstein was an amazing person. He was extremely intelligent and also gave really gave great advice, like in the quote above. I would like to display this quote up on my wall to help me stay focused on what it important from day to day.
His advice demonstrates how we view the world and ourselves. Before we look at the quote in detail I wanted show you some more great quotes from this influential man.
Watch this short video with more wonderful quotes from this genius.
So what did Albert mean when he said the words above (in the title)? I believe that he was trying to show us that we should learn from our experiences (including our mistakes) and try to improve on them.
Mistakes are not bad. They demonstrate that we are trying new things and learning. Mistakes are, therefore, a needed when learning something new.
In terms of learning English, he might encourage you to ignore the fact that you can't say something exactly how you would in your mother tongue. On the other hand, he would suggest celebrating the fact that you are communicating with another human being.
Live in the moment. Do not focus on the past or worry about the future. We must live in the now and embrace what we have. It might not last as long as we think. Too much time spend thinking about the past or the future leads to worry and more stress.
Hope for tomorrow makes me think of our dreams. We can dream about all the great things we want to do and accomplish but we must remember that these are only dreams and that sometimes our dreams make reality seem disappointing.
Dreams are wonderful and inspiring but we must remember that life is just as beautiful and rewarding when we take a minute to see the beauty around us.
Take a minute to listen to Travis' thoughts about Einstein's quote.

Expert Reference Group on COVID-19 and Ethnicity: Recommendations to Scottish Government
Systemic Issues and Risk: Initial Advice and Recommendations (18.09.20)
The Expert Reference Group (ERG) was established by Scottish Government 'to ensure that we have an accurate understanding of the impact of COVID-19 on minority ethnic and migrant communities in Scotland, and that our policy responses reflect this. There is a need to work on improving existing systems and processes, and analysing what we know, while at the same time looking more fundamentally at how the system itself needs to change.' This ERG subgroup was specifically asked to consider the following:
Given the potential for a resurgence of COVID-19, what priority actions should be taken to mitigate COVID-19 risks for minority ethnic patients, health staff and communities in the short-term?
What steps should be taken to address the health inequalities and systemic issues exposed via COVID-19 facing minority ethnic people and communities?
To what extent does learning from issues around COVID-19 and race require the Scottish Government to adjust its approach to tackling race equality?

The CRO can also be used as a complete back office solution for the hotel.
Our booking engines have the option of including a payment gateway so that you can receive payments from your website directly into your bank account, PayPal or any of the payment gateways that we have collaboration with.
The hotel is therefore assured that the money for the reservation will be moved from the guest's account to the hotel's account.

Fernando Remacha Villar (), est un compositeur espagnol, probablement le compositeur navarrais le plus représentatif et pourtant oublié du .

Biographie
Il étudie le violon à Tudela et plus tard à Pampelune et Aramendía. Il s'installe plus tard à Madrid, où il suit les classes de violon de José del Hierro et la composition avec Conrado del Campo. De cette époque madrilène correspondent ses premières œuvres, certaines de grande qualité tel le ballet La Maja Vestida (1919), le poème symphonique L'Aube (1922) ou les Trois pièces pour piano (1923).

En 1923, il gagne le prix de Rome de l'Académie des beaux-arts de San Fernando avec une cantate et une fugue et obtient une bourse qui lui permet d'aller en Italie pour se perfectionner avec Gian Francesco Malipiero à Rome. De cette période datent, entre autres, le motet Quam pulchri sunt pour chœur et orchestre (1925) ou l'Hommage à Góngora (1927).

En 1928, il retourne à Madrid et obtient un poste d'alto dans l'Orchestre symphonique d'Arbós. Prend en charge, également la gestion et la direction artistique de la société Filmófono, qui lui permet réaliser la musique de plusieurs films et des arrangements et de collaborer avec des réalisateurs de films de prestige, tels José Luis Sáenz de Heredia ou Luis Buñuel.

En 1930, apparaît dans le Groupe des Huit de Madrid, également baptisé Groupe de 31, ou Groupe de la République avec Salvador Bacarisse, Julián Bautista, Juan José Mantecón, Rosa García Ascot, les frères Rodolfo et Ernesto Halffter, Gustavo Pittaluga et devient l'un des musiciens les plus représentatifs de la Génération de 27.

La Guerre Civile coupe court à l'effort et aux illusions de cette génération de compositeurs qui en exil, se dispersent dans différents pays. Quelques-uns s'enfuirent de l'Espagne et d'autres, tels que les Remacha opte pour l'exil intérieur. Après la Guerre civile, les espagnols reviennent à Tudela et il abandonne pratiquement la composition jusqu'à la cinquantaine.

Remacha obtient trois fois le Prix national de la musique : en 1932 avec le Quatuor avec piano ; en 1938 avec son second Quatuor à cordes, et le dernier en 1980.

En 1957, Fernando Remacha prend la direction du nouveau Conservatoire Pablo Sarasate de Pampelune, qui devient, sous sa direction, un établissement de formation. Il y reste jusqu'à sa retraite en 1973.

Œuvre
Le style de Fernando Remacha évolue de l'influence de Stravinsky et de Falla jusqu'à une atonalité très expressionniste. De l'ensemble de son œuvre, il est à noter que certains partitions constituent à elle seule des étapes importantes dans la musique contemporaine espagnole : les deux quatuors (1925, 1931), la cantate, Jésus-Christ sur la Croix pour soli, chœur et orchestre (1964, Prix de musique ibérico-américain Tomás Luis de Victoria la même année), le motet Quam pulchri sunt, les Vêpres de la saint-Firmin (1951), le Concerto pour guitare et orchestre (1955), la Rapsodia de Estella (1958) pour piano et orchestre, ainsi que l'œuvre pour piano et de la musique chorale.

Prix
 1932 : Prix national de musique pour l'interprétation.
 1938, 1980 et 1982 : Prix national de musique pour la composition.

Second arrest made in the online abuse case of Brexit campaigner Gina Miller
The lead claimant in the case to get parliament a vote on triggering Article 50 has been targeted by sexist and racist abuse online
Police have now made two arrests in connection with online abuse directed against Gina Miller, the leader of the Brexit legal challenge, which was settled by the Supreme Court yesterday.
In December, Met Police officers released a 55-year-old man in Swindon on suspicion of sending racially-aggravated and malicious communications. He was taken to a police station in Wiltshire before being released on bail. On December 3, another man from Fife was issued with a cease and desist notice police said.
On December 7, police additionally issued a cease and desist notice against a 51-year-old man from Inverness-shire. Police did not name Miller as the target of the abuse, referring to her only as a "51-year-old woman" who had received threats online since November 3, the day of the High Court ruling.
In the latest arrest, a man was arrested in connection with a complaint made to police in November. He is currently in custody at a central London police station.
Racism is already mainstream – soon it might be the norm
By Angela Saini
Miller praised the Metropolitan police for the work in an interview with BuzzFeed News but criticised social networks, including Facebook, for not doing enough to cooperate with police.
"They have to take responsibility for the content on their website," she told BuzzFeed. "There has to be monitoring [of content], and they cannot allow people to break the law because, by inference, you could argue they are allowing sexual violence and violence to be incited."
A spokesperson from Facebook told WIRED: "There is absolutely no place on Facebook for such threats. That's why we have a comprehensive reporting system in place and our teams work around the clock to review content reported by our community, and take further action where necessary. We also work with law enforcement where appropriate to ensure the safety of the people who use Facebook."
The social network also said it is investigating the individual incidents highlighted by Miller.

How to avoid epic Brexit arguments with your family at Christmas
By Laurie Clarke
Twitter searches for racist and sexist terms used against Miller reveal a raft abuse being targeted at the 51-year-old. On Facebook, people commenting on articles about Miller said she should be "hung as a traitor to democracy".
In an interview with the New Statesman, Miller described the racism as "extraordinary". Miller also said she had consulted with police after a campaign on Facebook called for her to be shot and put in a rubbish bin. "People say things like, 'She is black and therefore a primate, so we should hunt her down,'" Miller added.
The abuse directed at Miller has been constant since her legal challenge concerning Article 50 reached the High Court last year. Speaking in parliament at the time, Brexit secretary David Davis described the racist and sexist attacks against Miller as "criminal".
The Supreme Court made a decision on the legal challenge yesterday, ruling that parliament must vote on whether the government can start the Brexit process. This means Theresa May cannot begin talks with the EU until MPs and peers give their backing.
While Miller has been vilified online, judges hearing the case in court have been subjected to abuse by far-right sections of the British media. A Daily Mail frontpage on November 4 described the three judges who made the High Court ruling on Brexit as "enemies of the people".
On November 3, The Sun introduced Miller to its readers as a "foreign-born multi-millionaire". Miller is from Guyana but has lived in the UK since she was 10. Asked at the time of the High Court ruling if a white man in the same position would receive the same level of abuse she replied: "The simple answer: absolutely no."

This mammoth Samsung drive features auto-backup software and a three-year warranty.
Even as we shift to cloud-powered everything, there's a need for local storage. You've got ever-expanding music and photo collections, to say nothing of all that sweet video you're shooting with your new quadcopter. Heck, maybe you're still old-school when it comes to movies, ripping Blu-ray and DVD discs for the ultimate home-theater PC.
This stuff needs a home. And homes don't get much bigger than this: For a limited time, Newegg has the Samsung D3 Station 4TB USB 3.0 hard drive for $119.99, shipped. That's after applying coupon code EMCPBWB225 at checkout.
Anyway, the D3 Station is your basic monolithic desktop drive (meaning it requires its own power supply), one with a USB 3.0 interface (natch -- can you imagine trying to fill this thing up over USB 2.0?!) and preloaded backup software. It's not clear whether this last is for Windows, Mac, or both, but the drive itself is compatible with both.
Samsung backs the drive with a three-year warranty, which is little consolation if it dies and takes all your data with it -- but I certainly get more peace of mind from three years of coverage than I do from one.
My advice: Put this (or any) drive through its paces for a few days -- or even weeks -- before offloading critical data to it. And if you're using it for full-system backups, run tests to make sure your PC can boot from it -- always an iffy proposition depending on your BIOS, Windows version, etc.
Bonus deal: You know that cool tilt-shift effect that makes certain photographs look like miniature scale models? You can create that effect using an expensive lens -- or with software. Today only, SharewareOnSale has Artensoft Tilt Shift Generator (Win) for free. Regular price: $49.95. Note that it's offered without updates or tech support, and you must download, install, and activate the program today, before the giveaway expires. But what a great way to experiment with this cool effect!

In case you missed it: 4 big stories from our world
by Olivia DeSmit
Mamanuca Islands, Fiji. (© Levi S. Norton). By 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean if we don't take action.
Editor's note: News about conservation and the environment is made every day, but some of it can fly under the radar. In a recurring feature, Human Nature shares four stories from the past week that you should know about.
California moves towards 100 percent carbon-free electricity after landmark vote
Legislators in California voted to switch to carbon-free energy sources by 2045.
The story: California may become the second state in the U.S., after Hawaii, to set a goal of clean energy reliance by 2045, Oliver Milman with The Guardian wrote last Wednesday. According to state senator Kevin de Leon, the legislation is a "victory for clean air. It's a victory to tackle climate change and the devastation that it's leaving in its wake." The bill still needs to be signed by the state senate and the governor before it can take effect.
The big picture: This news comes just days after the release of the latest climate change assessment for California. The report lists the effects of climate change — including water shortages, an increase in heat-related deaths, rising seas and more wildfires — and states that they could all occur by 2050 if emissions are not reduced. The bill would help mitigate these effects (and decrease California's contribution to global climate change) by building the state's reliance on clean energy. This would result in fewer emissions that contribute to global warming being released into the atmosphere.
Plastic-riding invasive species are making their way across oceans
Invasive species are commuting across the Pacific Ocean on plastic trash, arriving at their new destination alive and ready to reproduce.
The story: Algae, mussels, barnacles and other species have traveled from countries such as Japan to the U.S. on plastic trash in the ocean, Whitney Pipkin wrote for National Geographic last Tuesday. These species were previously unable, or not easily able, to travel long distances, and scientists are concerned with how their new presence will affect the ecosystems they are invading.
The big picture: By 2050, experts estimate there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. Extreme weather events, such as the tsunami in Japan in 2011, cause plastic floating in coastal areas to make its way to sea, eventually turning up thousands of miles from home. Previously, species would hitch a ride on driftwood, which would often decompose while at sea. The durability of plastic makes it an excellent transportation device, one that's perhaps too effective: When non-native species invade new habitats they can overtake native species, disrupting entire ecosystems.

How Google Earth led a team of scientists to discover an untouched mountaintop rainforest
A virtually untouched forest was discovered in Mozambique atop a 410-foot mountain.
The story: Mount Lico's mountain-top forest ecosystem was recently discovered when Julian Bayliss, a conservation scientist and butterfly expert, happened upon it while using Google Earth, Andy Wright and Sonner Kehrt wrote for The Verge last Tuesday. The tool showed a forest on the top of the mountain, seemingly untouched by humans. After spending two weeks atop the mountain with a 28-person team studying the flora and fauna, Bayliss and colleagues discovered at least one new butterfly species.
The big picture: The arduous hike up the 410-foot mountain has protected the forest ecosystem from humans, keeping it intact and pristine. Not only did the team discover a new species, but their findings will help scientists understand how forests react and cope with climate change when humans are not in the equation. The expedition's Mozambican leader, Hermenegildo Matimele, said that their findings will help raise awareness of — and protect — the region, and will "guide our strategies in terms of how we use the land."
How much hotter is your hometown than when you were born?
Plug your hometown and year of birth into a program to see how temperatures have risen over your lifetime — and how much more they rise will in the future.
The story: We're already feeling the effects of global warming. One of the most widely felt impacts? Rising temperatures. To help track exactly how much hotter you were this summer than, say, when you were 10 years old, The New York Times has created an interactive model that enables you to see how much the temperature has increased in your hometown since your birth, and how much it will increase in the future.
The big picture: Many people, especially those living in developing countries, do not have air conditioners. So when temperatures rise, they, along with outdoor workers, are more vulnerable to the effects of high temperatures, such as heat-related illnesses. The effects could be deadly. "Worldwide, high temperatures have been found to increase the risk of illness and death, especially among older people, infants and people with chronic medical conditions," the article states.

ACLU Praises Cleveland Mayor's Support of KKK's First Amendment Right to March
CLEVELAND -- The American Civil Liberties Union today praised the Cleveland Mayor Michael White for his efforts to protect the First Amendment right of marchers scheduled to rally in Cleveland later this month.
The August 21st rally by the Ku Klux Klan has been the source of considerable controversy, with some community leaders critical of the decision to allow the Klan to march at all. Others have criticized the mayor for a decision allowing Klansmen to use a police garage to don their robes and hoods.
While recognizing the offensive and racist nature of the Klan's message, the ACLU today commended White for allowing the marchers to prepare in an environment safe from physical violence.
"From our perspective, allowing the use of the police garage is a public safety issue, nothing more and nothing less," said Christine Link, Executive Director of the ACLU of Ohio. "It doesn't mean the mayor endorses what the Klan has to say; it means he takes seriously his duty to avoid violence and preserve law and order."
Under well-established First Amendment law, organizations such as the Klan have a right to speak, and public officials are obligated allow that speech to go forward on public property.
"The mayor has taken a tough stand on a difficult issue," said ACLU Legal Director Raymond Vasvari. "No one expects his position to be popular, but the First Amendment extends its protection to even the most vile speech."
"The mayor has a legal duty to protect the First Amendment rights of unpopular speakers, and to ensure that they can deliver their message in an ordered environment, free from violence," he added. "So far, he has done his duty admirably. Mayor White should be commended."


Does the Blood of Jesus Motivate You 2 Care 4 Your Body?
How does the blood of Jesus relate to the care of your body and health?
Jesus paid a high price for our lives and for our freedom from sin. As Christians, we're especially sensitive to this during Easter Week as we're reminded of what he went through in the hours before he was crucified on the cross and of the horrific death he experienced. It was not only the physical brutality and death that Jesus had to endure, he was spiritually separated from his Father for a period of time. This had to be the worst thing that the Son of God experienced in his life.
In this passage, Paul also instructs us to honor God with our body. Are you doing that?
Are you careful about what you put into your body, God's temple? Are you keeping it pure by not having sexual relations outside of marriage? Are you giving your body a healthy dose of physical activity? Are you giving it the regular rest it needs? Do you get adequate sleep on an on-going basis? Do you keep your eyes from viewing or reading content that would be distasteful to God? Are you using your body in service for His Kingdom?
Jesus shed his blood for us to be able to have life. And living the Christian life is all about glorifying God. Part of glorifying God is caring for our body which is his temple.
At Easter, let's be reminded that Jesus paid a high price for us to honor his Father with not only our lives but our bodies. Are you doing that?
If you are neglecting your health, perhaps this reminder will motivate you to take better care of your body.

Internet-based peer production projects constitute a new form of organisation, stuctured around autonomy and the distribution of authority. This presentation shows how 'online tribal bureaucracy' borrows elements from organisational formats such as corporations and communes, yet differs from them in important respects. It also considers whether the tribal-bureaucratic organisational model is generalisable to other contexts, and whether such as dissemination is desirable.
Internet-based peer production projects constitute a new form of organisation. This presentation shows how 'online tribal bureaucracy' borrows elements from organisational formats such as corporations and communes, yet differs from them in important respects. Online projects distribute hierarchical control: participants have a high degree of autonomy, so that new entrants to Wikipedia (for example) can rapidly attain positions of power.
This is not new: demonstrating a counter-cultural aversion to authority, the IETF's 'Tao' described the organisation as a anti-bureaucratic collection of 'happenings' with no formal membership. This concern for direct democracy, which still animates contemporary online projects, mirrors the organisational structures of 'communal' or 'collectivist' 1970s groups such as free clinics and alternative newspapers.
But contemporary self-directed online projects are different from communes because they have rules, written records, merit-based promotion processes, and because they separate roles from persons (for example, Debian elects a different Project Leader every year). These characteristically bureaucratic traits are put at the service of democracy. This distinguishes online projects from corporations.
Online projects are also different from corporate bureaus because charismatic forms of authority intersect with collectivist bureaucracy in online projects. Where would Linux, Wikipedia or Daily Kos be without the 'extraordinary vision' of their respective charismatic founders, who wield extraordinary power? In addition to roles still being linked to persons, self-organised online bureaucracies can be defined as 'tribal' because of three defining traits: the high degree of autonomy and self-motivation of participants, the structuring role of conflicts, and the preferred mode of decision-making, deliberation.
This presentation evaluates the economic and political benefits and costs of these characteristics: for example, conflicts may serve to unify participants, and deliberation may make political participation less exciting, by removing the verdict of chance afforded by the result of elections. The presentation concludes by addressing a more general question: is the tribal-bureaucratic organisational model generalisable to other contexts? What conditions would be required for such a dissemination to occut? Is it desirable? What would the potential drawbacks be?


As our industry matures, so does the talent pool and the expected skill level of new employees. Gone are the days when you could walk off the street, show enthusiasm, and break into the game industry. With so many industry veterans out there and wonderful new schools dedicated to preparing people for game development, you've got to stand out of the crowd.
So, what should you study? Unfortunately, the answer is everything! Designers, both game and level, are jacks-of-all-trades and must know a little about everything in order to excel at their jobs. During my 12 years in the computer industry as a game designer, I've performed in the role of producer, game designer, systems designer, interface designer, level designer, scripter, writer, and even sound designer. Level designers must be competent game play designers, level builders, both model and texture artists, event and cinematic scripters, and extremely skilled researchers covering architecture, geography, historical time period, lighting and textures. If that's not enough, small companies often require you to wear even more hats!
A wide variety of skills also makes you an indispensable addition to any game company and guarantees a place of honor in the Cockroach Club: a term derived from the fact that cockroaches can survive a nuclear blast… the occasional layoffs of the games industry. Don't you want to keep your job when companies inevitably downsize and layoff personnel?
The talented designers I've worked with come from all walks of life, although the two most common backgrounds are history majors and "scroungers". History opens your eyes to all kinds of possibilities and knowing the past, in my opinion is the key to the dealing with future. If you don't know how countries and people reacted in different situations, how can you possibly create and maintain a believable vision of how they'll react in your games? History also gives you a firm grip on writing, communication, and research, all of which are essential in design.
Scroungers, on the other hand, overcome their lack of formal education through sheer enthusiasm and passion. They get into a game company via any open door (testing, customer service, sweeping the floors, etc.) and then grab every opportunity to learn new skills and show off their abilities. While this course was common in the past it is becoming harder and harder to pull off today… hence the reason for this article.
I got into the industry via a little of both methods. I've been an avid military historian all my life, but got my formal education in physical geography and meteorology. After working in the environmental industry for three years, I answered an ad in the newspaper for a computer gaming company. Unbelievably I landed the job of Lead Game Designer based on my knowledge of history, team/project management, and technical writing skills.

Nine car museums to visit from the comfort of your sofa
Stuck at home? Indulge yourself in these virtual car collections
Peter Rawlins
To some, Kentucky brings to mind visions of a particular fast-food chain serving fried chicken. But for most car enthusiasts, the state of Kentucky is synonymous with one car: Corvette. Home to the brand's plant and national museum (yes, the one that suffered 'that' sinkhole accident in 2014), the latter houses more than 80 Corvette models spanning the brand's history. And we promise it'll be safe.
Take the virtual tour here.
Henry Ford Museum
With more than 1.7 million annual visitors, the Henry Ford Museum is much more than just a car museum. With a comprehensive display of the automobile's life story in America, it's home to a selection of motorcars, planes, trains, and other exhibits. Ranging from the first car Ford ever built, to Thomas Edison's laboratory, to the Rosa Parks bus, and much more, it offers as much a history lesson for you to enjoy as it does the kids.

McLaren Technology Centre
As much an architectural icon as it is an automotive enthusiast's dream, we'd recommend taking a stroll along the paved pathway that surrounds the McLaren Technology Centre before making your way inside. In fact, it's where we've started our Google Street View tour below (you're welcome). Home to an impressive collection of road and race cars, including the Le Mans-winning McLaren F1, the Woking-based museum is not to be missed.
Take a look here.
Mercedez-Benz Museum
With nine levels to explore, covering a floor space of 16,500 m², the Mercedez-Benz Museum in Stuttgart should keep you entertained for several hours at least. A celebration of the brand's 134-year history, it has over 160 vehicles, and 1,500 exhibits, to browse. Split into seven chronologically ordered arrangements, it begins in 1886 with the very first patented car in the world and also includes the brand's racing history.
Explore it for yourself here.
Museo Ferrari
Ferrari reckons it's so good that it needs two museums dedicated to itself. One is next to its factory in Maranello and the other is in Modena, which is also known as the Museo Enzo Ferrari. We're talking about the former, here, where you can check out some of the most iconic racing and road cars the factory has ever produced, including the ridiculous LaFerrari FXX-K as well as Michael Schumacher's title-winning Formula One car.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy, here.
Museo Lamborghini
Here's one way to keep the quarantine blues at bay: a visit to the Lamborghini museum in Sant'Agata Bolognese. We've been fortunate enough to visit the museum in person more than once in the past, and from the early creations like the Miura and Countach, to the "Rambo Lambo" LM002, and more recent and exclusive super sports cars like the Huracán Performante and the Aventador SV, it's certainly worth a virtual visit, too.
Take a look around, here.
Museo Horacio Pagani
Ever dreamt of getting behind the wheel of a Pagani? For many of us, this is as close as we'll ever get. The Museo Horacio Pagani houses a collection of cars from one of the most popular brands in the world, ranging from early models of the Zonda, to its successor, the almighty Pagani Huayra. And, before you start showing off your new-found knowledge to your mates, let's get one thing straight: it's pronounced 'H-wire-ah'.
Immerse yourself here.
With one of the most impressive collections of any car museum, the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart has more than 80 vehicles on display, ranging from the early 356 road car to the iconic 911. Discover the life of founder Ferdinand Porsche, explore the selection of classic models, and browse the range of concept cars. Plus, don't forget to virtually take in the stunningly designed building, an attraction in itself, from the outside.

Several communities of faith have inquired if the vaccine passport being instituted in Ontario applies to them. The legal advice the regional council has received to date is that communities of faith do not have grounds to request this information. Privacy legislation protects medical information and there has been no provincial action mandating such information be shared in a community of faith. In fact, worshiping communities have been specifically exempted from the vaccine passport. There...

I found a lot of this growing in a park and, after searching briefly on the internet for it, discovered that several species in this genus are threatened or endangered. It looks like a grass but is not a true grass.

…that once an artist or artists is/are selected, they will be featured on one-shot (stand-alone) stories on a monthly basis at the main site. These will be 20-22 page stories posted 1 page-a-day from M-F each month. The story will start at the beginning of the month and end at the end of it.
This way, it's not a long-term commitment for the artist; various artists can be showcased; and different characters, concepts, and storylines can be explored.
The same artists can always return to work on other stories if they are interested and characters, concepts, and storylines can be revisited down the line if there is artist and/or audience demand to do so.

If your testing efforts are not achieving the payback you and your organization expect, this course is for you. Requirements-Based Testing (RBT) delivers a proven, rigorous approach for designing a consistent and repeatable set of highly optimized test cases. Companies employing RBT practices have achieved twice the requirements coverage with only half the tests they previously maintained.
The RBT process helps you validate that the requirements are clear and complete. Then, it guides you to define a set of tests verifying that the design and code fully meet those requirements. You'll learn and practice cause-effect graphing, a test design technique which ensures that defects will be fully observable. If there are any defects in the software—even ones that could be hidden from tests by other errors—cause-effect graphing will find them. With this technique, you'll be able to reduce the number of tests you need and make sure that every test is valuable.
Explore alternative test design techniques and the advantages and disadvantages of each. Learn how to complement functional, black-box testing with code-based, white-box testing to further ensure complete coverage and higher quality. Classroom exercises are employed throughout the course to reinforce your learning.
Take back a lifecycle testing process that incorporates testing as an integrated—and integral—part of the software development project. With the RBT process, your next project will experience significant time and cost savings while helping the test team develop better estimates and dynamically track test and project progress.
Bring samples from your own projects to work on and evaluate during class.
Requirements-Based Testing is for test managers, test engineers, QA specialists, software managers, and anyone responsible for developing tests and test suites. Finding Ambiguities in Requirements is a prerequisite for this class.
Although the focus of this course is on process and techniques, there will be a brief introduction to the BenderRBT™ software tool, which automates much of the requirements-based testing process.
Richard Bender has over forty-five years experience in software with a primary focus on quality assurance and testing. He has consulted internationally to large and small corporations, government agencies, and the military. Richard's work has included a wide variety of application classes and technology bases from embedded systems to super computer-based systems—and everything in between—consulting to both vendors and IT departments alike.
