Condos and townhomes are attractive to home buyers because they offer more living square footage per dollar and generally require less exterior maintenance. This is perfect for those who have no desire to maintain a 3,000sf yard or worry about landscaping. Of course, the responsibility of maintenance in condos is paid through HOA fees; so [...]

I have now completed my three week work placement at Sky News New Media. During these weeks I have learned a lot about writing copy, picture cropping and using a content management system.Although I consider myself more than competant with Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Adobe Photoshop Elements (used at Sky, I have been taught some nice tricks involving creating borders. There are many picture sizes and it is important to attach the right ones!I have also learned how to write headlines and keep them short. This is a relatively new skill for me, but one I am now confident with. I am able to keep banner headlines to a certain length. I can also caption pictures and source older material to link.I have used a video camera to film outside shots, and have accompanied a producer and cameraman to a tech

I had a reader question about a horse jigging and rearing wile out on the trail. The weather is beautiful and this question could not have had better timing.My answer to the question is not going to be short, so I will be breaking it down into three parts over the next few posts. I think this is a problem that many riders face at different levels in the arena and especially out on the trail. I am going to give this question the attention that it deserves by dividing it into three parts Physical Evaluation, Ground Training, and Riding the Horse Forward.Hi, my name is Sarah and I have a problem with my horse.When I ride her she is calm and nice.

Take any random pair of people and the probability of them having the exact same birthday sits at (1/365)≈0.0027 or roughly 0.27%. The chance of it seems so low that many would ignore and assume it never occurring. The Birthday Paradox however makes available mathematical means to display that the “improbable” occurs quite more often than general belief. How many people does it take to have over 50% chance of a pair sharing the same birthday? 23 Explanation, please keep in mind this example ignores leap years. 1) With 23 people 253 possible pairs exist. 23*22/2=253 (Look up Permutations if you don’t understand this) 2) Now instead of finding the chance of two people having the same birthday, let us find the probability of them having DIFFERENT birthdays.

Recently I listened to a message by my friend Dan Harty (Windsor Community Church) where he outlined the mission of their church and included several questions they ask to evaluate what’s important to them as a church. The questions were originally worded to be answered either “yes” or “no.” In an effort to increase the depth of your evaluation process, I’ve re-worded them to be “open-ended” and to focus on behaviors. 12 Questions to Evaluate Missional Effectiveness 1. How have we demonstrated that we are a gospel-centered church? 2. How have we made sure that we remain true to God’s Word? 3. How have we been active as a praying church? 4. How have we seen people “saved”? How have we multiplied disciples? 5. How have people’s priorities changed in obedien

I found this First Grade teacher evaluation amongst a pile of papers my mother sent me late last year. You're going to want to click on the images to make them larger. It's worth it.The handwriting on the bottom reads: "The boys think he's really smart, but they're getting tired of his cockiness." She also takes the time to underline 'impulsive' and mention that I have an authority problem, along with the X's painting a picture of me that's nothing short of unstoppable evil.There's so much more. Keep reading.Again, she takes the time to mention that I'm 'passively' uncooperative, and circles some of the most life-scarring and potentially damaging adjectives a person can say about a child. 'Tics?' 'Bizarre?' Goddamn. I'm quite certain that they no longer use this evaluation form at Winnecon

I thought for my own personal reference, and just to ramble on as I’ve nothing better to blog about -it’s getting pretty busy in the run upto Christmas! I’m presently busy getting a new venture on its feet - Joozo.net, just a small forum, I’m mainly doing it as I had ’surplus resources’ available, so this was used to fill them up - the only thing I’ve to pay for is Hosting which is $4 a month which isn’t bad! Anyway, I’ll get back on tracks. My Christmas tests weren’t too bad, nobody likes them but they have to be done - it’s really the only means of evaluation in my school, except general classwork which isn’t really anything to go by. English: First exam, didn’t go as well as I’d hoped. I got through all questions and had 10 minutes to spare at the end of a 2 hour test which wasn’t bad. The only reason I think I could have done better, is the test was entirely composed of John Keats and Macbeth.

By: Roland Parris Jefferson III With so many makes and models and each with a variety of features you may, or may not, ever use, it is important to conduct a thorough digital camera evaluation before making the decision of which one to purchase.While picture taken with a digital camera may appear to be smooth in print, the picture is actually made up of millions of small squares called pixels. This would be the equivalent to the resolution in pictures taken with a film camera. The higher the pixel rating of a digital camera, the better quality the picture will be in print. Part of your digital camera evaluation should be the number of pixels. They are available from one million pixels to over 14 million pixels and, as with most items electronic, the higher the pixel rating, the higher the cost will be.Another important part of your digital camera evaluation would be its ability to gather light during the picture-taking process. With film cameras the ISO standard is used to state that a

KLINEFELTER SYNDROME: Clinical evaluation and intervention PRIMARY AUTHOR: BELINDA PINYERD, PHD, RN Central Ohio Pediatric Endocrinology & Diabetes Services Columbus, OH SECOND AUTHOR: WILLIAM B. ZIPF, MD, FAAP Central Ohio Pediatric Endocrinology & Diabetes Services Columbus, OH KLINEFELTER SYNDROME: Clinical evaluation and intervention (published in 2003 by the Pediatric Endocrinology Society) INTRODUCTION In 1942, Harry Klinefelter described a small group of males who presented with gynecomastia, small testes, Leydig cell dysfunction, and infertility (Klinefelter, Reinfenstein, Albright, 1942). Shortly thereafter this association of clinical features (Klinefelters syndrome or KS) was identified as being caused by an extra X chromosome, giving a sex chromosome pattern of XXY. This condition occurs in 1:500 to 1:1000 live births, (Hamerton et al., 1975) making it one of the most common of all forms of genetic conditions. However, Klinefelter Syndrome (KS) is under appreciated

First, this article was not wrote to discourage but to give you an honest evaluation of what obstacles stand in your way to being an artist. It is a tool for you to use to determine if you really want to be an artist.Why do I ask so many questions? Because I cannot make you believe something but perhaps I can get you to think it out for yourself. I want you to solve your own problems, I just hope that I might be a little help.I don’t want you to get three years down the line saying, “I wish BoydGreeneArt had of been honest with me.” I know the feeling and I’m building a support network around me that is not afraid to be honest. They can be brutal but their loving honesty never leads me into believing some foible dream that is not possible. They are always ready to point me to reality and more than willing to help me surmount my difficulties. They just don’t call small big and big small.Do I really want to be an artist?“We do not admire the man of timid peace. We admire the

I have decided to add Las Vegas High-Rise pages to my Las Vegas Real Estate web site within the next month. In order to provide real information to my customers I will try to provide them with a grading system for Las Vegas high-rise condominiums. The grading system is as follows:Las Vegas is definitely not New York, Paris, London or Tokyo when it comes to transportation, so a prospective high-rise investor should be even more critical of the high-rise location when purchasing in Las Vegas. A subway system or complex mass transportation system is available in these other popular high-rise locations, where it is very easy and economical to get around. The only type of transportation available in Las Vegas outside of walking, cars and busses is a three mile monorail system. However, this system is often packed with the ever-growing need for an even larger mass transportation system. The most powerful location in Las Vegas, Las Vegas Boulevard which is better known as “The Strip”, mak

Hillsborough Superintendent MaryEllen Elia is due to receive her annual evaluation at tonight's School Board meeting. By and large, she can expect glowing kudos from most of her bosses on the Board. But not all. Board members April Griffin and Susan Valdes generally gave Elia low to average marks. Elia's "above satisfactory" overall ranking is reflected in her raise of $16,413. Under her contract, she received the same percentage increase as teachers, bringing her base salary to $252,913. "Mrs. Elia is being recognized across the nation as an up and coming leader in education," Board member Carol Kurdell wrote of the superintendent, who is wrapping up her second year on the job. But the praise is not unanimous. Griffin had some scathing criticisms: * On organizational management: "MaryEllen tends to promote her own vision (and that of her closest advisors) at the expense of the Board and her employees." * On communications and community relations: "The district has clearly st

In the past decade, Indonesia has undergone a remarkable political transformation but has struggled to generate robust economic growth. While other countries in the region, like Vietnam and China, enjoy surging investment levels, Indonesia faces persistent poverty issues and high unemployment rates. In response, the Government of Indonesia has encouraged economic development with the implementation of nationwide One Stop Shop business licensing centers to streamline and simplify the process for new companies. Today The Asia Foundation released two new reports highlighting key opportunities to improve business licensing and establish better systems to measure licensing services in Indonesia. The reports will inform government reform efforts. "Making Sense of Business Licensing in Indonesia: A Review of Business Licensing Policy and Survey of One Stop Shop Service Centers" is a study of the country's complex national level licensing framework and how these policies are implemented at th

I had an evaluation with my boss today and it went very well (I already got the salary raise :))I just need to write down the things she said so that I can remember it and improve what needs to be approved.I live as I preach, that is a great leader quality.

I need to remember that most people are trying their best.My emotions are pretty transparent which can be good and bad. I need to learn to express my negative emotions in a different (more positive) way to be a good leaderFrom time to time I need to make a choice.

My previous blog entries have included very frank discussion regarding the various elements of technology evaluation projects.

The team who appears to not only “get it”, but also “can keep it” all together.About a year ago I was covering for a colleague on vacation when I received an inbound call from “Fred”. Fred was in the early stages of an evaluation project and was exploring ERP solutions. He found my company on the internet and had a million questions about Technology Group International, our product offering, and our services. I talked to Fred for quite a while and reviewed his list of pain points in email later that day.When my co-worker returned, I transferred Fred’s informatio

The lawyer for a 33-year old air hostess believed to be involved in a bizarre case in Malaysia has called for his client to receive a psychiatric evaluation.  The woman (whose name has not been released) was taken into custody following the grisly June 29 discovery of the decayed remains of a man who have been chopped into eleven pieces and stuffed into a refrigerator.  The discovery had been made when the new owner of the Mont Kiara condominium unit in which the remains called in condominium security to investigate the source of a strong stench that he had noted on entering.  Security discovered the body parts packed into five garbage bags and sealed with masking tape.  The body was subsequently identified as being that of 39-year old Singaporean businessman, Goh Yoke Seng, and the suspect surrendered herself to police custody.  She has not been formally charged to date and is being held on remand.  Her lawyer is demanding a psychiatric evaluation under

On Monday, Charleston, South Carolina hosted the CNN/YouTube Democratic debate. It was clear to see through out the debate that Joe Biden, John Edwards and Barack Obama seized the most opportunities and were the most skilled debaters of the night. Joe Biden has been consistent through out all Democratic debates with intellectual and comprehensive responses. Tonight was no different for Biden. He is the only candidate advocating for a different approach on Iraq which calls for a division of the country into three separate “states” or entities with a weak central government. With the Kurds in the North, the Shiites and the Sunnis a division of the country could help to ease the sectarian and civil war strife that divides the nation currently. What they did not have time for was this follow up question to that answer; how would the oil revenues be divided with the oil not falling equally geographically? According to CNN dial polls from listeners during the debate, B

A comprehensive evaluation of ALL the evidenceSo in the last few weeks, we've had quite a big response to some articles on Oscar Pistorius. The following four key issues are what I would consider important to the argument on Oscar Pistorius’ desire to compete in the Olympic Games in 2008. I really do believe that each is critical to the argument and would respectfully suggest that no article is complete without sufficiently mentioning each one. 1. Incentive clarification Before even beginning to discuss the science of running on the prosthetic limbs, you have to clarify people’s incentives. It is critical that anyone who expresses an “educated” or scientifically formulated opinion on the limbs and their possible performance enhancing effects or lack thereof is understood in terms of their interests in the affair. We must remember that science and commerce/business are very uneasy bedfellows, and so the incentive gap between the search from truth and the

So over the last month or so, we've had quite a big response to some articles written about Paralympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius. He is bidding to be allowed to run in the Beijing Olympics in 2008 for able-bodied athletes. We've carried a series of articles looking at the scientific merits of the case - there is a possibility that the Cheetah prosthetic limb gives him an advantage, and we wanted to look at the possible basis for this.So last night, I was interviewed on an SABC show on the topic. It wasn't too bad, but I certainly felt that not all the cards were laid on the table. My perception of the media and this story so far is that it is actively being moved away from the science at every opportunity. And so hostile and aggressive responses are initiated every time anyone suggests that it may in fact be unfair to allow Pistorius to run. So what I realised last night is that no one is talking here. Science is saying one thing, but Pistorius is not directly addressing these concer

I had to do a self evaluation today, this is for the salary negotiation I am going to have with my boss in the beginning of next week. It felt kind of strange doing it as I already know I am going to get a salary raise, but we need to have a dicussion about how much I will get. There are five different levels in the salarys that I need to take into consideration when scoring myself. I am on the beginners level and I have to score myself according to that. Would I be in a higher level the demands would be higher and my scores lower.It is strange to evaluate yourself as there are so many aspects that needs to be taken into consideration. I think when we evaluate our personality and ouseleves as human beings we hardly ever take into consideration the aspects around us. We just have a generalised picture of how things should be and how we should act. That usually causes problems for ourselves as we make an evaluation based on wrong data.I feel it is hard for me to evaluate myself for the

An evaluation essay is a through research. The writer usually examines all aspects of the object, and then presents them to the reader from a perspective he considers the best one. He can use the perspective and structure to persuade the audience that his point of view is correct, which makes an evaluation essay somewhat close to the persuasive essay paper. However, the differences are in the approaches used. Here is how you can start writing your evaluation essay: By summarizing. Don’t be too general, for the Introduction is usually about eight sentences long. Choose two main aspects of an evaluated object, and give their summary. By doing so, you provide illustrations to your thesis, which is yet to come. Don’t make summary too long, but make it clear, logical, and descriptive. Stick to facts. Now you can state a thesis. By emphasizing minor issues. Save the best for last, meaning enclose the main and major issue into your thesis, but before making it obvious, concentrate on d

Or in other words: review yourself! Are you still on track with: your posts : do you write posts that are expected when people read your title? your time spent on the computer : do you use your time for your blog to grow? your visitors : do you know who they are and do you give them what they want? pagerank, technorati, alexa rankings your site look and feel: can people fast and easily find what they expect when reading your title? Now don’t rush rush through your evaluation: we are 20 days in and I will use this last week of the month to do an entire evaluation of my blog. Why? Because the only way to make it with a website is keeping on track with what you were supposed to do. Otherwise you run around like chickens in my grandpa’s garden: no idea where they are going to and I wouldn’t care less. Now you don’t want your visitors to be like that, do you? Lets go over the 5 above itemsin short, and then see what needs to be improved on my site. 1. Your posts

Since starting this blog a few months ago on a bit of a whim, the readership has steadily increased, leading me to believe that I must be doing something right. For this reason I have decided to devote more time to building and promoting this site, as well as keeping the content fresh, relevant and more frequent. The first step is the complete layout re-design that you may have noticed. For the most part everything seems to be working correctly at the moment. However, if anything appears glitchy or out of place, please contact me so I may correct the problem. For those readers that keep coming back, I thank you for your continued patronage, and hope that you will spread the word about this blog. I would love to hear any feed back or ideas you may have on how to improve this site. If you have anything to say please leave a comment or contact me if you are so inclined. Again, I thank you all… ~Origin

If you read my blog, you should all know that I dislike the newly appointed Marketing Manager. But I have a confession to make. I don't think I dislike him that much anymore. I still think he is clown-y just like everyone else, but apart from that, he isn't really that bad. I still don't think the Marketing Manager is really good at what he does, but he does put in an accountable, amount of effort, which can be seen. So for that, I really think he isn't that bad. Yes, yes, I was being petty all this while. I'm straightforward, I like you, means I like you, I don't like you, means I don't like you, is there really a need to be so superficial and pretend?

After the combines comb through the beautiful corn fields of Iowa… inevitably, there’s something left. There are corners.. that these massive harvesting devices do not reach well. there are renegade plants that spring up out of formation. Often times.. there is still harvest-worthy corn out there.. that either gets missed, or simply “ran over”. When all the work is done.. the beautiful corn fields of Iowa.. are no longer beautiful. Also.. the effort to go and find a straggling ear of corn is less than desirable. Maybe it’s fine to leave those ears of corn out there. It’s just not worth the time and the energy. However.. let’s think in ministry terms. As a Calvary Chapel Pastor.. I am driving my my way through the beautiful fields of our distinctive ministry style. (more…)

One of the easiest ways to fulfill a race-related agenda against an employee of color is to use the performance evaluation process against that person. What makes this such a good mechanism for targeting employees is that the content of evaluations, as I’ve mentioned before, is often not reviewed for accuracy by anyone outside the departmental structure. Human Resources staff are not reading
