U-Know Yunho, first Japan stage after discharge.. return of the king
TVXQ's U-Know Yunho (SM Entertainment)'s first Japan stage after discharge, ended in great success.
Peeforming at the SMTOWN LIVE WORLD TOUR IV in Japan, held in Osaka's Kyocera Dome on the 15th, with his outstanding strong charisma, he presented his new song, 'Drop', including of course, a medley of TVXQ's hit songs, 'Mirotic', 'WHY', 'We Are!', 'Somebody to Love', getting an explosive response from the concert-goers with his captivating performance and splendid stage manners.
For the performance this time, attention was focused on him, as it was U-Know Yunho's first stage in Japan after discharge. As he appeared on stage, the concert-goers simultaneously waved the red lightsticks representing TVXQ and followed along with the songs, showing an excitement that was as though it was presently a TVXQ concert, confirming their worthiness of having Asia's topmost artiste-like, unchanging popularity and status.
In addition, U-Know Yunho said, "I am happy to be standing on stage once more after about 2 years, and I am very thankful to the fans who have waited. As we will be greeting you as TVXQ soon, please wait, and in the future as well, I hope you will show us a lot of support," conveying his feelings and garnering a heated response from the fans on the ground.

Online support
Speak to any display producer and the reason behind his investment in a wide format digital printing device is to increase business and drive up profitability.
However, digital output is not the rarity it was less than two decades ago and, because companies of all sizes can now produce applications of a quality that is fit for purpose, competition is rife and the market has become ever more challenging both for existing and new users.
As a result, service providers of all digital denominations are looking increasingly for ways in which to extend the options they offer to their customer bases.
Multi-channel solutions
With the growth of cloud-based solutions to bring online ordering, sophisticated web-to- print and cross media marketing into the mix, options for handling campaigns that go beyond the parameters of producing printed output are now able to add value and generate new levels within the client and supplier relationship.
Surprisingly, were one to ask the man on the Clapham omnibus how his poster had been produced, the chances are he would have no idea. How applications are produced is generally not of importance to the customer and, while this might be acceptable for members of the general public who want a one-off sign or graphic, the frightening aspect is the overall lack of knowledge that lies within the area of creatives, agencies and brand owners.
Joining the dots between designers and display producers has sometimes been a bone of contention for printer manufacturers who know what their machines can produce and how print houses can get the best of out of them. But passing this knowledge and the engine's capabilities onto agencies and beyond is not as straightforward as it might appear to be at first consideration.
As a result, having print as one element in a mix of services involves greater involvement by agencies and brand owners and, thus, more understanding about the processes used can germinate new ideas hitherto unconsidered.
Independent designers are governed ultimately by the parameters of the final output device but, outside the boundaries of merging text and graphics, many are not aware of the opportunities that abound in terms of creativity. Although some will acknowledge there is a hole in the comprehension of exactly what digital print can achieve, others remain blissfully complacent.
As a result, it is the print companies that employ their own creative teams that tend to come up with the most innovative ideas, and the reason behind this is quite simple: these people are usually close to the engine being used and can see at first hand the potential for versatility and originality.
Extend this knowledge into the marketing mix, and the potential can mushroom so that a base set of print competencies can be used as the foundation for value added services that can be incorporated into existing and new orders.
Communication is the catalyst to selling one's services and, although it's true that most people will only buy a product or service from a third party they like and trust, there are far too many end customers that have yet to understand the process that's being used for their applications.
Web-to- print has helped to bridge the gap but, in the same way that it's impossible for a print service provider to list every example of its talents on the Internet, so it is that there are perceived limitations relating to what actually can be produced.
Therefore the main component to adding value is to explain to clients how greater awareness can be achieved. From this point, it is easier to add more creative elements such as multichannel marketing to the mix because, beyond the printed output, are design-led opportunities that can contain interactive content via the Internet, and personalised options which are targeted directly at different audiences.
Savvy display producers and signmakers have the right sales teams in place to promote exactly what can be produced and, if these people have a good knowledge of the printing process and its potential for generating the unusual, so much the better when extending services into the multichannel arena.
In a highly competitive world where margins are increasingly being squeezed, the quality of the print element should be a given; integrating opportunities outside the traditional print envelope will require a good understanding of how web- based complements can improve visibility.
Engaging agencies and brand owners these days has to be achieved through strong communicative links and very often it isn't the printing of the job that provides the catalyst to a successful marketing campaign. In fact, for some display producers, the physical output of an application is represented by a relatively low percentage of an overall contract and not the major element.
This is because project management and cross media activities play a major role in the overall job, extending far beyond the remit of putting ink onto a substrate.
For smaller businesses, there is no reason why principles beyond print can't be passed onto clients no matter their job volume and size. The key is that agencies and end customers need to be made aware of these value added services.
Simply taking on a "me too" attitude, concentrating only on print, and selling at a slightly lower price than the rival shop down the road won't be sufficient to maintain future relationships and orders. New elements need to be added into the mix.
In summary, it is communication that provides the key element to demonstrate the importance of bringing ancillary options to a client.
Becoming involved in marketing strategies enables print companies to demonstrate their versatility if they can add viable options that meet today's expectations and, typically, there is now increased emphasis on the provision of services that extend into mobile and social media.
This extension of project management isn't costly to implement yet can enable display producers to offer crossmedia campaigns to their clients.
And, with the importance of variable data and personalisation now being accepted by most businesses across the board as a valuable weapon in their armoury for effective customer relations, integrating their strengths can take display producers beyond the remit for just providing printed output and into new profitable business areas.

CEO of the London Stock Exchange (LSE), Xavier Rolet, expressed conviction in Qatar's ability to become a regional financial hub thanks to its position and distinct influence in Asia and Africa. This makes Qatar close to Britain, which plays the same role due to position and influence in Europe and around the world, he said.
In a statement to Qatar News Agency (QNA), Rolet said that the Qatar-UK Business and Investment Forum held in in Britain this week highlighted the rapprochement between the two countries, adding that bilateral relationship praising the advanced level of bilateral ties. He added the Forum held in London and Birmingham stressed the high level of bilateral relations, pointing out to the two countries' keenness to strengthening cooperation, especially that Britain can provide Qatari financial institutions with tailored programs and services in order to meet Qatar's needs to play such an important regional pivotal role.
Britain has also an edge with its financial technology along with the traditional financial capabilities it already offers, he went on saying. Areas of cooperation could include retail finance sectors from a macroeconomic perspective in order to provide of global services, he added. In this context, the British official stressed that the services that can be undertaken by Britain and Qatar at the level of macro-financial sector could also contribute in reducing poverty around the world through providing individuals with financial services at lower prices and higher quality.
London Stock Exchange Group CEO also expressed delight over the high level of the 'historic' Qatar's representation at the Forum, confirming the deeply-rooted relations between the State of Qatar and the United Kingdom.

As I come to the end of my semester at MSU, I am reflecting the changes I have had in my belief surrounding assessments by looking at the post I had about my three beliefs about assessment, it also conveniently happens at a time where most of the classes I am teaching are doing assessments before Christmas break! Assessment should be in-depth, continuous, multi-faceted and individualized giving a full view of an individual on as many levels as possible. This, though, is an exploration of my three specific belief so let me dive in and reassess my belief on assessment.
Let's look at those initial beliefs I had, and how I would revise them now.
Where was I, and where am I now?
- It should happen regularly -> It should happen continuously, intentionally and adaptively
- It should be individualized -> It should be individualized and changing as individuals change
- It should mirror real life -> It should mirror real life and measure ability within a semiotic domain, as well as the ability to apply outside of a given semiotic domain.
It should happen regularly -> It should happen continuously, intentionally and adaptively
So, looking at the first belief, it may seem like a trivial change I made, but the wording is intentional, just like the assessment should be intentional. Assessment should be done on a continuous ongoing basis, with the educator reflectively assessing the state of the learners and how that state reflects on the course, the learning process, the instructor, and how these things can be improved or changed to better fit the circumstances. I initially thought that assessment needed to happen at periodic intervals throughout a learning period, but now realize that every interaction, assignment, and experience is an assessment of sort, and that assessments take many forms beyond the traditional test, quiz or homework assignment. Rather, every action should be intentionally designed and thought about as to what it tells me as an educator. This gives us a deeper, more true understanding of the knowledge students have and the path to them reaching their optimal potential. Assessments should not be viewed as the way we measure and value students, but rather as a way for students to gauge their progress, learn, and reflect to optimize their own potential.
It should be individualized -> It should be individualized and changing as individuals change
The second belief again had an evolution, as I have grown in my belief that individuals are constantly changing, and therefore assessments must be constantly evolving. While it is easily understood that two completely different individuals will have different methods of showing their ability or knowledge, it also should be acknowledged that as an individual grows, gains new experiences, and changes the way they can show their ability and knowledge will change, and our assessments should be reflective of that. A student may initially be only able to explain a concept or idea in theory and on a straight-forward circumstance, but as they increase their expertise within the area, they will be able to apply higher level thinking and critical analysis with the skill and how they are assessed must reflect this. Again, assessments should not be used to "catch" a student and take points away from them, but rather find a way to allow them to shine, to show their ability and potential, to measure their progress and to push themselves.
It should mirror real life -> It should mirror real life and measure ability within a semiotic domain, as well as the ability to apply outside of a given semiotic domain.
My third belief may be the one with the greatest growth and change. Students should have assessments that reflect real life, both within and outside of a given semiotic domain. When we are assessing someone, it is essential to measure their ability to utilize that content in different circumstances. For example, assessing how well a student can describe a chemical reaction is good, measuring how they can utilize it in a laboratory setting is even better, but we also should measure how well they can apply that knowledge outside of that semiotic domain such as explaining the importance/benefit of that reaction to a lay person. This not only is pertinent to real world application but gives a deeper and more true evaluation of knowledge.
How do these changes connect to my course?
From the start of the course we explored how assessment is constantly happening, whether intentional or not, and that this assessment can either be wasted or can be used to drive learning. Assessment is a continual process, and whether the assessment is formal or informal, or is an assessment of learning, for learning, or as learning and as an educator you must be aware of what you are doing, how you are doing it, and what it should mean. This ties well into all three beliefs as assessment is continuous, adaptable or individualizable, and can and should mirror real life. Based on the various types of assessment that exists you can and should employ a variety of techniques continuously to create a deep understanding, and a rich varying set of learning conditions for your students. The more you employ formative assessment for your students the more opportunity they must learn and grow from it. We explored Understanding by Design and this supports the fact that assessment is continuous and should be used reflectively to inform the instruction you are providing as well as a mirror of real life. When instruction is designed with the backwards design method, assessment should be aiding to achieve that desired end goal and to give an optimal, adaptive path towards that desired goal. This would mean that a continuous assessment is conducted to monitor progress and aid in learning to ensure the desired outcome is reached. Some additional growth I had from the course for this is the various CMS's that exist and the specific affordances that each of these provide you. Many different CMS exist that allow you to provide a variety of individualized options for continuous assessment of learning and progress, and exploring each one's constraints and affordances forces you to explore the constraints within my personal teaching. Using available digital tools you can create quizzes, tests, journals, and documents that allow you to tailor your assessments for a variety of circumstances, and allow for individualized answers and two way feedback which enhances the effect. This leads me into the importance of individualized and continuous feedback, as Hattie and Timperley (1999) pointed out individualized feedback is of high value to overall learning, and I learned the importance of that feedback being specific, actionable, motivating, and informative to optimize its benefits to learners. Lastly, we explored the potential of digital games for assessment and this adds a unique and intriguing aspect of potential for individualization within assessment as you can create content that is both engaging and individualized for your students. Overall each of the modules that we explored forced me to explore my assessment beliefs and expand, evolve or reinforce them both in theory and practice.
Practical application
I have had the ability to directly apply many of the things I have learned directly into my practice. First I created a checklist that I use to guide my assessment's that I create within my classes. This checklist helps to guide my assessments to be optimal in what I know about how assessments should be. I also have explored creating twine games which I am still a novice with but find exciting to increase engagement and excitement about content. Additionally, I have started to use Khan Academy, which is a CMS that I previously had used sparingly but I have now explored how to use it more holistically as an assessment method for my students. The final way this has impacted my assessment practice is the work I am now beginning to do on developing a more holistic assessment method that utilizes continuous and full measurements of my students that provides feedback to improve their learning.

Experience Report
Executing add-on Application Development (AD) projects end to end is quite challenging. More so, if the same is executed under risk-reward model. According to an IBM study, only 40% of projects meet schedule, budget and quality goals. 20 to 25 percent don't provide ROI and up to 50 percent require material rework.
With competitive pricing and cut throat competition eroding margins and denting market share, cost of delivery reduction with best in class quality has become an imperative for any service company in the IT outsourcing space.
This case study shares the experience of an AD project (team size 40) in the Insurance domain completed over a period of 9 months (including warranty phase), with a geographic spread across 4 different locations. The team had end to end responsibility right from requirements gathering to System Integration Testing. The add-on functionality developed was rolled out to 5 states spanning 2 different releases. The team leveraged LEAN Six Sigma techniques (DSM, OA, Visual Controls, Mistake Proofing) for culture building, effective change management, early feedback, rework reduction through effective in-process defect reduction and doing things right the first time, resulting in increased customer goodwill, reward payments, enhanced business and high employee satisfaction. The project was flawlessly executed under the risk reward model with best in class quality, maintainability and scalability within the specified schedule.

Experience Report
As Agile coaches, several times when we talk to the Sr. Management in a company to taking agile to a bigger level and adopt it across their business units a common response we get is "I have seen agile working for our project teams. I am also in midst of an agile transformation where we are applying it in large programs. But how do I know the transformation is helping me achieve my goals at an organizational level. Our organization typically tracks executives on finance, people & delivery parameters. In an agile context, how do I ensure that I am on track with the executive-level dashboard (finance, people and delivery)?" As part of this session, we plan to share our experience of how "Balance Score Card" technique was implemented at one of the financial services company following agile. By using concept of balance score card we were able to map the agile goals with the IT organization goals and ensure that the agile methods were giving the desired results.

Case Study
In the rush to be a proud owner of a large independent penthouse apartment in a huge housing society I did not realize (or did not want to) the actual reason behind this good bargain!
I ended up being party to the following list (product backlog) of pain areas (or business needs) of the society members:
- 1.Need of Generator backup to cater to the frequent power cuts at least for the common areas and lifts (I had bought my condominium on the top floor and could realize the pain!) – Must have and High Cost
- 2.Modernization of the ageing lifts across 18 buildings (thanks to the substandard quality lifts which I realized when I started staying there L ) – Must have due to high risk however huge Cost
- 3.Need for the CCTV Camera – Must have considering the frequent untoward incidents
- 4.Seepage and septic tank upgrade
- 5.Pavements, speed breakers
- 6. And the list goes on….
This resulted into the society being least valued in that area and no ROI for the members who had invested in the society.
The society committee members were clueless on where to start (prioritizing with business value) with the given evolving budget and how to manage the timeline.
Through this report, I intend to share how I utilized following Agile practices to overcome the challenges faced by the society members for its refurbishment and converted the society into one of the most sought out society over the period of few milestones (releases)!
- 1.Prioritization(MoSCoW) of the backlog by agreeing up urgent need of the society in the given budget
- 2.Continuous planning and re-prioritization of product backlog
- 3.Outcome(Value) based agreement with various vendors
- 4.Managing discipline in the acceptance criteria and retrospection (i.e. PWD lift inspection and approval for lifts functioning with the given municipality specifications and taking learning to replicate the same for future enhancements)
- 5.Delivering end to end(INVEST) in the production in short releases ( i.e. one lift modernization end to end and commissioning of Diesel Genset end to end through incremental approach)

Experience Report
An important issue that has plagued the Indian sub-continent is that of education and more importantly primary education. Since past few months, my weekends are usually occupied in teaching English classes to underprivileged children from 5th grade at a government primary school. As an Agile coach and a practitioner I was drawn towards unifying the concepts of Agile to help increase the quality of education.
As a teacher, I was given a set of high level goal by the school administrator that needs to be accomplished every quarter. My goals for the first quarter were :
- > Kids should be able to identify basic words
- > Form short sentences.
- > Converse reasonably in English
I started with the traditional chalk and blackboard style of teaching focusing on the spellings, grammar, sentences, reading and so on. In initial few sessions, I quickly realized that it took too long for the kids to understand and so was not yielding the desired results. Some of the problems were like
- > Too much focus on semantics and grammar
- > Kids not opening up in the class room
- > Only able to read words but not talk or frame sentences
This is where I had to reflect and consider course correction in my style of teaching and Agile came to my rescue. This is a talk which highlights how Agile techniques were applied in teaching kids effectively.

Any customers working with a typical Software IT services Organization expect that their vendors understand and deliver their requirements on time. Reduced time to market with improved quality and productivity supported by an efficient process is "The" need of the hour for any customer.
About the project: This project is about developing printer software for a leading OEM. The end customer is one who uses high end printers for their professional needs. The challenges faced is high requirement volatility due to evolving requirements from marketing team, complex features and a distributed team.
In this case study we would want to share how an IT services organization and customer partnered to succeed using Distributed Agile
The Agile practices that helped to manage requirement volatility was prioritized backlog management along with early demos. The estimations with insight into minute tasks led to short stories which made the sprints very realistic and successful to complete on time.
Complexities were discussed upfront and impediments were tracked to timely closure. Scrum of Scrum helped both the customer as well as vendor teams distributed across Geos to discuss and collaborate effectively leaving no surprises to the end.
Refactoring and structural code quality analysis helped to improve the stability of the code from the very beginning there by helping to build a high quality product
Continuous integration and automated build helped the development, testing and user acceptance testing team to work seamlessly without operational delays
At the end of the day what resulted for customer is the ability to meet late marketing team requirements effectively with a quality product, on time ready for the market release

Experience Report
One of the fundamental reasons why management teams are eager to adopt Agile in large programs these days, is the discomfort that is caused by long gestation periods before anything tangible is delivered to the Business, and the risks associated with it. They hope that the practice of the principle of "Frequent Delivery of valuable working software" that Agile espouses will help them address these risks. However, in the Agile Transformation of such programs, a key challenge that emerges is in synchronising the output of the various teams in the program in order to deliver working software every sprint. This problem gets especially compounded with geographically dispersed teams.
The following experience report shares the experience in guiding an agile transformation engagement for a program involving geographically dispersed teams of a global BFSI player. The work products went through three stages – creation of the technical workflows required for the desired services by the product owner & SMEs, completion of proofs of concept / technical feasibility of core components of the services, and lastly the actual development work including user interfaces. The development teams were spread across two locations and SME's were in two different locations. Due to pressures from business, the first priority for the program was to start delivering value by means of usable functionality available to the end users.
Kanban as well as Scrum was used in the transformed process to ensure that smooth and regular flow of functionality was delivered at the end of every sprint. The aspects of Kanban used were Pull based scheduling across the various stages, Making the work Visual and Limiting the number of services which were WIP. How these elements of Kanban drove the Synchronization efforts as well as overall governance betweeen teams, while the teams used Scrum for managing engineering activities within the team, will be detailed in the presentation. How this approach can be extended for better management of MMF's/ Epics will also be explained.

Despite being a CMMI Level 5 company, in the early 2000 business exigencies prompted Wipro to look towards a sustainable continuous improvement drive. Wipro started it Lean-Agile transformation initiative way back in 2004-05. In the initial days, the euphoria of a new subject helped in the adoption. The evangelists came from the ranks and their success stories helped us in broadbasing the initiative. In the past decade or so the organization has grown 5 fold – not to mention the increase in the complexity of operations. The early adopters and evangelists too were not in a position to take ahead the journey. They often took up different roles either within the organization or externally. Knowledge became tribal in nature without there being a continuous cycle for continuous improvement.
This is a live case study of how the organization took ahead the transformation initiative and breathed fresh life into it, in an environment which was much more challenging. We built a cadence of Continuous Improvement by
- Adopting a SuHaRi model of Inform-Perform-Transform
- Aligning the roles and responsibilities to aid Continuous Improvement
- Building a rewards and recognition programme for increased participation
- Involving Senior leadership to drive the cultural change by aligning policies and principles
- Measuring engagement and effectiveness – not only in terms of measurable metrics, but also in terms of intangible benefits

In the last couple of years Agile methodologies have gone from strength to strength and gained tremendous popularity as well as following within the software industry. From amongst all the Agile methods Scrum is by far the most popular and has become the de facto industry standard today. However, during the course of this journey Scrum had to contend with another stalwart of the software industry, namely "Outsourcing". And to survive and prosper Scrum has had to evolve and adapt to the biggest challenge that Outsourcing posed – "Multi-Vendor, multi-location teams". However an outsourced multivendor distributed landscape is still viewed widely as a potent recipe for Scrum failure; and acts as the primary deterrent to Scrum adoption across many organizations.
This paper shares the experience based on the practical challenges faced by IT Services Organizations on the adoption of Scrum in multivendor distributed scenarios as well as the benefits perceived and realized; by presenting various scenarios faced by them in their daily business cycle.

Supporting applications in IT Service delivery is modeled around providing service to the customer within acceptable resolution time and in a consistent way. However in this process oriented approach there is a limited touch point with the end user and business value creation is not always prioritized.
I had an opportunity to work closely with this distributed delivery team in implementing the improvement charter using Lean techniques wherein the team serviced customer deliverables faster and in a predictable manner. Faster turn around time of service requests and resolution of P3 incidents helped in addressing business user needs as well as channelize effort saving towards creating value / business benefit to the customer.

Sun Ra. En algún lado y en ninguno. Poemas
by Mariana Castillo Deball, Tania Islas Weinstein & Alberto Ortega
En algún lado y en ninguno is a collection of poems by the jazz musician and poet Sun Ra (Alabama 1914 – Birmingham 1993), selected and translated into Spanish by Mariana Castillo Deball, Tania Islas Weinstein and Alberto Ortega.
The adventure began in a library that loos like a spaceship, beside a monument in the shape of a burned sweet that celebrates the first atomic reaction generated by human beings with a plaque that shyly suggests that this powerful energy could be used for beneficial ends. Inside this lunar library, in the University of Chicago, is the special collections centre, where the papers of Alton Abraham – Sun Ra Collection, comprising the period 1822-2008, are kept. Alton Abraham (1927-1999), entrepreneur and hospital technician, was a friend and partner of Sun Ra, and throughout his life he collected manuscripts, ephemeral documentation, artefacts, photographs and video and audio recordings of the work of Sun Ra and his collaborators. In Abraham's archive, which occupies 48 m of linear shelf space and consists of 146 boxes and a large file, there is, among other items, Sun Ra's briefcase, containing his lawyer's card, the insurance receipt for his car, a cabalistic amulet and a million dollar bill perforated in the centre.
There we also found Sun Ra's typed poems, with handwritten corrections and in various versions. His poems generate a parallel geometry, a world that is precise and ambiguous at the same time. A sidereal enthusiasm made us think that the translation of his poems into our mother tongue could bring us close to his cosmos, and simultaneously allow us to share them with the Spanish-speaking firmament.
Sun Ra. En algún lado y en ninguno
Selection and translation by Mariana Castillo Deball, Tania Islas Weinstein and Alberto Ortega.

Mariana Castillo Deball (Mexico City, 1975) moves between the sciences and the visual arts in an artistic practice that usually includes and reflects long processes of research. These processes often allow her to study the different ways in which objects can be read, from the historical context where they were created to their current reality. Castillo Deball's installations, performances, sculptures and publishing projects arise from the recombination of different languages, and from collaborative work.
Seeking to start a dialogue with institutions and museums beyond contemporary art, Castillo Deball collaborates with ethnographic collections, libraries and historical archives. She often produces multiples, books or objects with different uses and formats, intended to explore how we might generate new territories. In this way, creating links among the fields of anthropology, philosophy and literature, Castillo Deball is inspired by a wide variety of sources, while participating in the exchange of knowledge understood as a transformational process for everyone involved.

The first European contact here was by James Cook and his men, in 1769. The Maori inhabited the area beginning around the early 19th Century. A settlement began here, started by a single Scottish colonist, in 1839, after which more settlers - mainly his family members - gradually trickled in. In 1842, the Maori, who had been peaceful to the settlers thus far, attacked the settlement violently, and the town was abandoned until 1855, when kauri gum was discovered in the area. The town soon grew prosperous off also importing coal, limestone, cement, and bricks.
Today, Whangarei is known for its northernmost location, waterways, harbor, waterfalls, natural scenery, and arts and culture.

"The Hammer Museum champions the art and artists who challenge us to see the world in a new light, to experience the unexpected, to ignite our imaginations, and inspire change."
I definitely was inspired to look at art in a new way after my time at the Hammer.
The courtyard has Spun Chairs by Heatherwick Studio. They were the best part of the museum. At first one is a little apprehensive about taking a whirl in the chair, but once you've spun around once, you do not want to stop. It's a very different experience, especially when it has the functionality of a chair, but with the added spinning factor!
There are several exhibitions, all appealing to a variety of artistic interests.
My favorite was Perfect Likeness: Photography and Composition. Definitely check it out if you love photography and want to be inspired.

Specs: 1.78:1 Anamorphic Widescreen, English Dolby Digital 5.1, English Subtitles, French Subtitles, Spanish Subtitles, Scenes (8 per episode), Five-Disc Set
Released: September 23rd, 2008
All the episodes of the second season are presented in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen. These are good transfers, but are a bit on the flawed side. I'll get the bad out of the way first: the episodes often look a bit grainy and a little soft, plus there are edge halos and noise to contend with. Other than that though, things are pretty good: color saturation is warm and inviting, fleshtones are accurate and detail looks nice. Definitely quite watchable, overall.
All the episodes features English Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks, which are quite suitable. Since this is a show with an emphasis on dialogue, the talking is important, and all of it comes in very clear and crisp on these tracks. Sound effects are more on the subtle side but can be discrete, while the musical selections do have a nice sense of power and sharpness to them. Dyanmics are pretty good for what's here, fidelity is fine but there isn't much subwoofer use. Apt mixes for a series like this.
Every episode also has subtitles available in English, French and Spanish, plus English closed captions through your television.
There are three Audio Commentaries included on this set: "Home Front" on the first disc features executive producer/director Ken Olin and actors Patricia Wettig and Matthew Rhys; "36 Hours" features actors Dave Annable, Sarah Jane Morris and Emily VanCamp while "Prior Commitments" has Executive Producer Monica Owasa-Breen, and actors Matthew Rhys and Luke MacFarlane. I listened to bits of each commentary, and the strongest from what I gathered is "36 Hours" - which has some pretty fine anecdotes by the actors, which go into their process and life on the set. Annable also shows a nice sense of humor (and oddly, Morris speaks on the track even though she isn't in the episode). The first commentary with Rhys, Olin and Wettig has dead spots, and while there are a few stories, the comments are obvious and rudimentary. I suppose striking a middle ground is the "36 Hours" one. Quiet moments too, and obvious comments, but I heard some decent anecdotes. In all, these commentaries are best suited for die-hard viewers of the series.
Everything else is on the fifth disc. There are seven Deleted Scenes, plus 4 minutes and 21 seconds worth of Bloopers & Outtakes in non-anamorphic widescreen. That leaves three video-based supplements. First up is Guest Book (14 minutes), that highlights the second season's array of guest stars. Ken Olin and some of the cast guides us through the memorable ones, which include Chevy Chase, Rob Lowe, Steven Weber.TV Dinners: Food From Season 2 focuses on the work of "food stylist" Jessie Sieben, who admits to not being a professional chef and actually having a biology major from Minnesota (talk about a career change!). Here we learn some of what's on the show is actually written into scripts. Other than that, we get an up-close look at some of the delicacies. If that doesn't whet your appetite, then an included envelope filled with Nora's recepies in the package just might. This piece runs a bit over 6 minutes.
Finally, Open House: Designing The Brothers & Sisters Set features production designer Denny Dugally. Dugally talks about her process, and how there is on average 700 sets (!) in a season. Dugally and set decorator Bryan John Venegas guides us through the Walker home and all its nuances, plus another key set. Dugally also talks about her favorite set. Pretty interesting.
The drama certainly gets juicier on the second season of "Brothers and Sisters," and it's all-star cast even expands a little with some choice actors in recurring roles. The set should please fans of the series, or those looking to catch up on the Walker clan, with some decent supplements and good presentations of the episodes. Worth checking out if you're interested.

Collaborative Divorce
During a divorce, decisions must be made while emotions run high. Our divorce attorneys can help facilitate the decision-making process by encouraging a collaborative divorce approach, identifying issues, sheparding information and offering alternative solutions.
The firm often represents clients in matrimonial situations using the collaborative divorce model. In collaborative divorce, both parties and their attorneys sign a participation agreement agreeing to use their honest and best efforts to resolve matters without the use of litigation. The participants and the attorneys meet together to discuss and resolve any and all issues with a focus on meeting the best interests of the parties in view of financial and personal realties.
In many instances of collaborative divorce there will be a team approach utilizing experts to help the parties and their attorneys analyze and determine issues, such as parenting, access and financial issues. During the process, each party is represented by an attorney to advise him or her of the legal implications of decisions and to draft and/or review final written agreements. During four way meetings, the parties and the team professionals, collaborate in reaching a fair and equitable resolution.
Dan McCabe is a founding member and instructing attorney in the Hudson Valley Collaborative Divorce and Dispute Resolution Association, Ltd. and is a member of the IACP (International Academy of Collaborative Professionals).
When collaborative divorce is not an option, the firm's divorce attorneys are also able to assist with divorce mediation, and, when necessary, divorce litigation.

Yesterdays sales tip was from Jeff Garrison. This one is too:
Follow Up to Familiarity to Trust to Sales
Posted: 13 Feb 2010 03:43 PM PST
Six months ago I got a call from a rookie insurance agent who had gotten my name off of Linked In. After introducing himself and finding out that I have had a business relationship with my financial adviser for over a decade, he could not wait to get off the phone. I was the one trying to ask questions which he tried to brush off probably so that he could go on to the next name on his list.
I have not received any follow up calls or emails from this person since that one phone call and now, I could not tell you his name.
Over the weekend the door bell rang. At the door was a new investment representative from a well known company out knocking on doors. We spoke for a few minutes, but I am happy with my investment adviser right now None the less, I asked her for her business card (because she might be interested in Sales Habitudes training at some point).
She did not have a business card, so she left me with a brochure that does not have her name on it. I gave her my business card and asked her to email me her contact information. I told her that if she joined the West Des Moines Chamber, she would see me there.
Two business days have passed and she has not sent me her contact information.
Here is the problem with both of these scenarios. At the time that these two "sales professionals" contacted me, I was not ready to buy. Neither are most prospects when we call on them the first time. However, an opportunity has been wasted.
Both should have a follow up plan to regularly "touch" me in order to create familiarity with who they are and their personal business brand. Over time they should seek to inform me of their expertise and relevancy such that I will come to trust in them
At some point, once I know who they are and have some trust in them, I may be ready to talk to them seriously about doing business. Additionally, opportunities to make introductions and to help their business may come along.
Think about this. In large sales (those exceeding $30,000), about half of the sales made are made between twelve and twenty-four months after initial contact. Every sales person that is not committed to nurturing their prospects for at least a year is losing a ton of money.
Do you know who is making the money? The sales person that calls your prospect twelve months after you did for the first time and right after you quit trying.
Do you have a plan for following up with those people you meet but who are not ready to buy?Since writing this post, I received a follow-up card from the person that came to my door. No card or contact information was included, but she followed up. We'll see what happens next. Sphere: Related Content

Mortar fire kills at least 11 in government-held Syria
By Petra - May 03,2014 - Last updated at May 03,2014
BEIRUT — At least 11 people were killed by mortar fire in government-held areas in Syria on Saturday, including in a central district of the capital Damascus, a monitoring group and state media said.
The attacks came just days after President Bashar Assad declared he would seek another term in elections in June, defying international opponents and the rebels who have been trying to overthrow him for over three years.
Syrian authorities have tried to project an air of normalcy in the areas they control, despite the ravages of a conflict that has killed over 150,000 people, forced millions to flee their homes and devastated much of the country's infrastructure.
Residents say the overwhelmingly Sunni Muslim insurgents have stepped up mortar attacks into government-held Damascus in recent weeks as government forces have tightened their grip over central parts of the country.
Syria's state news agency SANA blamed "terrorists" for Saturday's mortar attack in Damascus, saying it killed four people including a 16-year-old girl when it struck a minibus in Al Dwel'a area of the capital.
It said 12 other people were killed in mortar attacks that hit a hospital and a hotel in the northern city of Aleppo, a major commercial hub before the war which is now divided between rebel and government forces.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an anti-Assad group which monitors the violence in Syria through a network of sources, also reported the incidents, saying at least three died in the Damascus attack and at least eight in Aleppo.
At least 14 people were killed by a mortar attack on a mainly Shiite area of the capital on Tuesday.
Fighting was reported in nearly every other province of Syria on Saturday, including between Al Qaeda's Syrian branch the Nusra Front and Al Qaeda splinter group the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant in the eastern Deir Al Zor province. Fighting often claims over 200 lives a day.
The observatory also said the death toll from a pair of car bombs in largely Alawite areas of the central province of Hama on Friday had risen to at least 29, including 14 children.
Assad is an Alawite, a sect derived from Shiite Islam.
Syrian authorities and rebels in the Old City district of Homs agreed a ceasefire on Friday to allow besieged insurgents to pull out of their last stronghold in the central city.

At least 26 people were killed in aerial attacks with explosive-packed barrel bombs in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo on Monday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, according to Agence France-Presse.
Syrian government media and rebel forces said Saturday that poison gas had been used in a central village, injuring scores of people, while blaming each other for the attack.
Fierce fighting in Syria's contested northern province of Aleppo killed at least 21 rebels on Monday as rockets slammed into a government-held district in the provincial capital, killing nine people.
