"Good fortune is what happens when opportunity meets with planning." – Thomas Alva Edison.
You only need to look around to see the results of planning. From the Egyptian Pyramids to a new airport, bridge or skyscraper, planning is at the heart of the effort. Developing plans is also critical in launching a new product or even a vacation.
All companies and organizations have goals and initiatives. Planning is the process of defining the steps, identifying the resources, and scheduling tasks and events to achieve a goal, such as a project, product development, or any other team initiative. It focuses on how an effort will proceed with attention paid to schedule, quality, and cost.
Planning occurs on multiple levels from specific tasks to strategic plans, but all planning is structured to focus on the steps to ensure high quality, completion within a budget and on schedule.
Leaders are measured on results and planning leads to the achievement of results. Successful leaders understand how to plan and then measure the progress toward achieving results. Teams that work well together have synchronized plans and individuals gain faster and better results.
Projects and initiatives that are planned well succeed. The time and thought given to planning results in more efficient work, with a higher quality outcome. Using planning techniques helps the leader prioritize tasks and measure the results. Planning also enables the leader to ensure that efforts are prioritized, measured and support the strategic plans of the organization.
List your current projects and tasks. Identify the goals, milestones, and control mechanisms for each. For any that do not have these three elements, take steps to develop them.
Build time into your schedule for sacred time (see The Leadership Compass, Chapter 9 for a description of sacred time). Devote at least 20 minutes every other day to think strategically about how you are doing things. This time should be quiet, uninterrupted time devoted to creative thinking about what needs to be done, what is working, and what is not working.
Build a responsibility matrix that lists your responsibilities, those of your peer leaders, and those of your individual team members. Are there any overlapping responsibilities? Are there any important areas that are not under anyone's responsibility? Review your matrix with the appropriate people to clarify any unclear responsibilities.
Be determined to improve your planning skills and behaviors. Take the short self-assessment on this page to identify where to improve your planning skills and behaviors. Then, get more coaches' recommendations in Chapter 9 of The Leadership Compass: Mapping Your Leadership Direction to help you fine-tune your planning skills and behaviors.
Measure your planning skills and behaviors!
When answering the questions, consider how others might evaluate your planning.
Congratulations, you have completed the Planning Self-Assessment. As you review your results, focus on your 2 or 3 lowest scores (1 & 2). Learn more about planning and get the coaches' recommendations in Chapter 9 of The Leadership Compass: Mapping Your Leadership Direction book to improve your planning skills.

As part of a Crimestoppers initiative, Insp Craig Peel and Cr Beverley Pinder helped launch a local campaign aimed at disrupting the manufacture and supply of drugs in the city.
After being introduced by Crime Stoppers Victoria representative Caroline Reid, Insp Peel said information provided by the public was highly valued by police.
"Community information is vital to allow us to get a full picture about the manufacturing and selling drugs. The information could be the missing piece that allows us to disrupt these operations, disrupt organised crime," Insp Peel said.
He said police relied on information from the community every day and anonymous reporting was equally valued.
Cr Pinder said the City of Melbourne fully supported the initiative.
"This event today is to encourage Melburnians to pick up the phone and make a call. Police resources are always very stretched and I think it falls upon us as members of this community to feel a sense of responsibility and support the police," Cr Pinder said.

New Technology Delivers Earlier Notice of Flash Flood Risk
Lisa Bertrand|September 13, 2022|News, Insurance, Public Safety
Maximizing artificial intelligence and short-term modeling to deliver accurate results
Baron Weather, Inc., the worldwide leader of superior weather intelligence, has developed a high-resolution, Flash Flood Risk™ solution which identifies the risk of flash flooding as much as two hours in advance and provides notices to mitigate damage and prevent the potential loss of life.
As climate impacts continue to be felt around the world, a noticeable increase in Flash Flooding has been observed this year. Flash floods are one of the top weather-related killers in the world. With so many variables to consider when assessing this risk, alerting at the right time and right place isn't easy.
"The variables that lead to a flash flood event are always unique," said Baron Weather CEO Bob Dreisewerd. "Preparing for a sudden weather emergency, such as a flash flood, requires a multi-faceted approach. Baron's technology for identifying flash flooding in advance cuts through the noise when critical decisions need to be made quickly."
Baron's Flash Flood Risk uses existing radar data and several Baron proprietary meteorological products along with advances in extreme event statistical assessment to measure the threat of flash flooding within two hours' time. The radar data, which is used to forecast the future, integrate historical information on land surface characteristics such as soil-moisture and runoff. Recent rainfall rates and short-term modeling are also used to determine the impact on the land surface itself to gauge flood risk.
The right combination of automated alerts and expert analysis is key to mitigating or preventing weather disasters which can result in water rescues, washed-out roads, evacuation orders, damaged homes, and even search and rescue operations.
Baron has an extensive catalog of weather data including Baron proprietary datasets that lead the industry in the detection and dissemination of impactful weather hazards. Additionally, Baron has a long history of hydrological analysis and is a partner in the newly formed Cooperative Institute for Research to Operations in Hydrology (CIROH) program announced earlier this year and funded by NOAA.
As part of the Esri Partner Network, the new Flash Flood Risk guidance is available for display as a layer in ESRI platforms and integration into software applications via an easy-to-use API.
With so many variables to consider when assessing a flash flood risk, alerting at the right time and right place isn't easy. That's where Baron Weather's flood offering comes in.

Census names Horace as ND's most affluent city
HORACE -- Horace Mayor Shane Walock grew up just north of the city and remembers hunting squirrels and gophers with a BB gun along the banks of the Sheyenne River.
FNS Photo by David Samson Traffic moves through Horace on Wednesday.
By Tu-Uyen Tran
HORACE - Horace Mayor Shane Walock grew up just north of the city and remembers hunting squirrels and gophers with a BB gun along the banks of the Sheyenne River.
"Now it's just solid, just houses the whole two miles," he said.
The suburb southwest of Fargo has grown fast the past few years, attracting many affluent residents with spacious riverside lots, which Walock suggests is why a Census Bureau survey found Horace to be the state's most affluent city.
Many larger cities in the oil-soaked west also were affluent but not quite as well-off as Horace, which the survey said had a median household income of $88,750. Williston, the second-most affluent city in the state, had a median income of $69,559.
Some Fargo-area suburbs with smaller populations may be even more affluent than Horace, but the data is less reliable because the Census' random survey did not reach as many residents as in larger communities. Tiny Oxbow, south of Fargo, for example, had a median income of $159,375, the highest of all communities in the state. Reiles Acres, northwest of Fargo, had a median income of $110,000. Prairie Rose, an enclave in south Fargo, had a median income of $106,944.
The least-affluent city in North Dakota was Belcourt on the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation near the Canadian border. The median income was $25,909.
The Census survey, part of a series called the American Community Survey, gathered data from 2008 to 2012.
According to the survey, most of Horace's residents of working age have jobs in education, health care and other professional services. Living in a bedroom community with few employers, they commute about 22.8 minutes to work each day.
A good chunk of the households, 45.8 percent, earn $100,000 or more a year and no family lives below the poverty line.
Nearly every resident has health insurance.
Williston, in the heart of the oil boom, fares less well. Most of residents there work in education, health care and professions involving the extraction of natural resources, presumably oil, and commute about 13.1 minutes to work.
Despite the area's fabled oil wealth, only 29.7 percent of Williston's workers earn $100,000 or more and 6.8 percent of families live below the poverty line.
Residents with health insurance coverage total about 89.5 percent of the population.
All of these numbers should be taken with a grain of salt, though, because the margin of error can vary greatly. Horace's median income, the Census said, could be higher or lower by $11,198. Williston's could be off by $5,861. Oxbow's could be off by $46,804.
Still, the signs of wealth and growth are hard to miss in Horace.
Between the 2000 Census and the 2010 Census, Horace saw 165.6 percent more residents.
"What's nice about it is it has a small-town feel but it's close to Fargo," the mayor said. "We have a great volunteer fire department. The school – everybody loves the school. You know all the teachers. They're all well-respected and liked."
Many of the newcomers were also drawn by the large lots near the river where they can build large homes, he said.
Horace has a lower tax rate than nearby cities, he said, but the bigger, costlier homes mean the city's finances are healthy.
On the other hand, he said, newcomers are often from urban areas and bring with them urban expectations. For years, the city made do with ditches for drainage, he said, but now it requires new developments to have actual storm sewers with curbs and gutters.
Those things cost a lot of money and are usually paid as special assessments by homeowners benefiting from them, he said, but the newcomers want it and can afford it.
Tougher to deal with is a new swimming pool some residents have asked about, he said. Those can cost $1 million, he said.

Q: Apache SOLR and C# windows application Am newbie to Apache SOLR 7.4. Am trying to upload XML file to remote server where the SOLR 7.4  is hosted.I need to update the collection with new XML file uploaded to the server. How can I re-index the collection ?
Things I have tried like using Simple Post Tool, CURL command with update etc.

A: If you're writing a C# application, using SolrNet is the suggested way. To upload a file to Solr Cell (which is what the module that extracts content from most file types is called), you can follow the example given in the manual. To parse the file for content to see how it behaves with the file you've uploaded:
ISolrOperations<Something> solr = ...
using (var file = File.OpenRead(@"test.pdf")) {
    var response = solr.Extract(new ExtractParameters(file, "some_document_id") {
        ExtractOnly = true,
        ExtractFormat = ExtractFormat.Text,
    });
    Console.WriteLine(response.Content);
}

Set ExtractOnly to false to index the content, and use Fields to set additional field values (i.e. an id field, etc.).

Home Blog Railroading New Haven Layout Layout Construction Layout Update – finally running something!
Now I love modelling as much as the next modeller but sometimes tasks just become too daunting and I just keep putting them off. Getting my rolling stock out again and running is one such task.
I took my stock off quite a few years ago as I was doing some messy scenery and it's just languished in boxes ever since. I've been reluctant to get it all out as I'm still doing scenery and I want to check it all before putting back on.
Anyway, my Dad was up and I got back off holiday yesterday so thought this was a great time to get something running whilst I had company to help. I tidied up a bit and he ran trains around through all my storage tracks. Eventually everything was running well again. Exciting after so long!
It's not much but here is a cleaning train running around.
My cleaning train consists of double headed locomotives for more pick ups plus a rolling weight car (centreline?) with Deluxe Materials Track Magic on it followed by 3 cars with Noch/Woodland Scenics axle tidies that drag over the track. Just be warned, the wheels they're clipped on won't roll so I have some flat spots now! These are the wrong era for my layout so they only run on this train.
I even got it to the upper level! Still need to do that tunnel liner though. The first train through came out covered in cobwebs and sounded a little gritty on the way down.
I still have crates of stock to get out but I want to check wheels, couplers etc before putting anything back on the layout. There's a lot of stock to do! It will free up space as all those boxes are stuck in my loft.
Next week I'm back on videos but at least I know something is running.
I was lucky enough to start modelling when the dollar was at 2:1. I don't buy anything much now from the US!
Nice! Atm I´ve put all my stock into boxes for some messy landscaping… My goal is they won't stay there for so long time 😉 But who knows what life has planed?

Baghdad 2006
Map Code: Ax01858
Baghdad's religious make-up has historically been contested between Sunni and Shia Muslims, however the 2003 invasion by the US and its allies provided the backdrop for a sharp rise in sectarian violence. This violence fully erupted in 2006 following the 22 February bombing of the al-Askari mosque in Samarra, one of Shia Islam's holiest sites, which caused outrage amongst Iraq's Shia majority population. The following week saw reprisal attacks against a reported 168 Sunni mosques across the country and the killing of hundreds of Sunni civilians by Shia militias. Baghdad's neighbourhoods had been reasonably intermixed prior to the 2003 invasion, after which ethnic cleansing and forced relocation by militia groups began the process of splitting neighbourhoods along sectarian lines. The eruption of violence in 2006 massively accelerated this process and resulted in a much more polarized demographic distribution between Sunni and Shia Muslims. The Green Zone, the former fortified headquarters of the Iraqi government, was occupied and tightly controlled by coalition forces. Nevertheless, frequent shelling by insurgents and bomb attacks still inflicted damage at the heart of the coalition administration.

Odd Beholder, the Electronica / Art Pop project from Swiss musician Daniela Weinmann, will release "Accept Nature" on June 4th, 2021. It's the latest single from the sophomore full- length album "Sunny Bay"!
"Accept Nature" is a song about anxieties caused by unrealistic and, often, meaningless work goals. Weinmann says about the track:
'The protagonist of the story dreams of leading a life without a constant battle against their own gut. The work environment of the protagonist seems to be the perfect fit for emotionless robots. But a rich inner world and complex feelings are key to a good life. If you are forced to decide between being a functional member of the workforce and fidelity to your feelings, this is going to destroy you in the long run.'
As for the song's main motifs, she continues:
'Triggered by a bout of insomnia I noticed that I turn to cute animal videos for comfort. I started to wonder to myself, what is it about animals that feels so soothing? My theory is that pets are cherished for what they are - cute and fluffy in this case - and not for what they do. Subconsciously, I envy them because they don't have to be a "functional" employee in a capitalist work environment.'
In terms of production, Weinmann was looking for a sound that was a median between a band sound and electronic music production. Michael Anklin, a drummer and experimental sound designer, contributed live drums, Weinmann played the electric guitar, Sirup Gagavil (Puts Marie) played some additional guitar lines and Daniel Spindler nailed the bass line. The recordings went through a series of edits and intense processing. Weinmann again:
'It felt like we made Xerox copies of every track, cut them apart, moved them around and copied them anew - and so on and so forth. It was fun to make the song a real Sinnbus collab – since the producer Douglas Greed is also signed to Sinnbus the label with his band Yeah But No. And Daniel is one of the label heads. We invited the boss to play the bass!'

Sherpa includes the "additive" and "multiplicative" models of XSPEC version 12.10.0e, and are available by adding the prefix "xs" before the XSPEC model name (in lower case). As examples: in Sherpa, the XSPEC phabs model is called "xsphabs" and the vapec model is "xsvapec".
The additive (atable) and multiplicative (mtable) XSPEC-style table models are supported by the load_xstable_model command.
XSPEC models based on physical processes (e.g. line models such as raymond or absorption models such as wabs) assume that the dataspace is defined in keV. On the other hand, Sherpa models are always calculated based on the input data scale. Thus when XSPEC models are combined with Sherpa models, the user should be careful to ensure that both components have the same dataspace units; otherwise, calculated model amplitudes may be incorrect.
These models also expect that the x-values will always be energy bins. When the analysis setting is using non-energy bins and an XSPEC model is defined, Sherpa converts the bins to energy before sending them to the XSPEC model. After the XSPEC model finishes, Sherpa converts back to the original units. Sherpa also scales the model values appropriately (e.g., if counts/keV came out of the XSPEC model and Sherpa is working with wavelength, then Sherpa scales the output of the XSPEC model to counts/Angstrom).
The "smaug" and "etable" XSPEC components, the convolution components, and the mixing-model components of XSPEC 12.10.0e are NOT included in CIAO.
The available XSPEC models are listed below. Refer to the ahelp page for each model (e.g. "ahelp xsabsori") or the XSPEC User's Guide for more information. Note that the ahelp files describe the version of the XSPEC model included in CIAO, while the XSPEC User's Guide may reference a newer version with different options.

A version of this article appeared in the September 2015 issue (pp.66–71) of Harvard Business Review.
What Is a Design-Centric Culture?
If you were around during the late-1990s dot-com craze, you may think of designers as 20-somethings shooting Nerf darts across an office that looks more like a bar. Because design has historically been equated with aesthetics and craft, designers have been celebrated as artistic savants. But a design-centric culture transcends design as a role, imparting a set of principles to all people who help bring ideas to life. Let's consider those principles.
To build empathy with users, a design-centric organization empowers employees to observe behavior and draw conclusions about what people want and need. Those conclusions are tremendously hard to express in quantitative language. Instead, organizations that "get" design use emotional language (words that concern desires, aspirations, engagement, and experience) to describe products and users. Team members discuss the emotional resonance of a value proposition as much as they discuss utility and product requirements.
A traditional value proposition is a promise of utility: If you buy a Lexus, the automaker promises that you will receive safe and comfortable transportation in a well-designed high-performance vehicle. An emotional value proposition is a promise of feeling: If you buy a Lexus, the automaker promises that you will feel pampered, luxurious, and affluent. In design-centric organizations, emotionally charged language isn't denigrated as thin, silly, or biased. Strategic conversations in those companies frequently address how a business decision or a market trajectory will positively influence users' experiences and often acknowledge only implicitly that well-designed offerings contribute to financial success.
The focus on great experiences isn't limited to product designers, marketers, and strategists—it infuses every customer-facing function. Take finance. Typically, its only contact with users is through invoices and payment systems, which are designed for internal business optimization or predetermined "customer requirements." But those systems are touch points that shape a customer's impression of the company. In a culture focused on customer experience, financial touch points are designed around users' needs rather than internal operational efficiencies.
Design thinking, first used to make physical objects, is increasingly being applied to complex, intangible issues, such as how a customer experiences a service. Regardless of the context, design thinkers tend to use physical models, also known as design artifacts, to explore, define, and communicate. Those models—primarily diagrams and sketches—supplement and in some cases replace the spreadsheets, specifications, and other documents that have come to define the traditional organizational environment. They add a fluid dimension to the exploration of complexity, allowing for nonlinear thought when tackling nonlinear problems.
For example, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' Center for Innovation has used a design artifact called a customer journey map to understand veterans' emotional highs and lows in their interactions with the VA. "This form of artifact helped us better tell a story to various stakeholders," says Melissa Chapman, a designer who worked at the Center for Innovation. Even more important, she adds, it "helped us develop a strategic way to think about changing the entire organization and to communicate that emergent strategy." The customer journey map and other design models are tools for understanding. They present alternative ways of looking at a problem.
A design culture is nurturing. It doesn't encourage failure, but the iterative nature of the design process recognizes that it's rare to get things right the first time. Apple is celebrated for its successes, but a little digging uncovers the Newton tablet, the Pippin gaming system, and the Copland operating system—products that didn't fare so well. (Pippin and Copland were discontinued after only two years.) The company leverages failure as learning, viewing it as part of the cost of innovation.
Greg Petroff, the chief experience officer at GE Software, explains how the iterative process works at GE: "GE is moving away from a model of exhaustive product requirements. Teams learn what to do in the process of doing it, iterating, and pivoting." Employees in every aspect of the business must realize that they can take social risks—putting forth half-baked ideas, for instance—without losing face or experiencing punitive repercussions.
Square's mobile app Cash lets you do one thing: send money to a friend. "I think I'm just an editor, and I think every CEO is an editor," wrote Jack Dorsey, Square's CEO. "We have all these inputs, we have all these places that we could go…but we need to present one cohesive story to the world." In organizations like Square, you'll find product leaders saying no much more than they say yes. Rather than chase the market with follow-on features, they lead the market with a constrained focus.
What Types of Companies Are Making This Change?
As industry giants such as IBM and GE realize that software is a fundamental part of their businesses, they are also recognizing the extraordinary levels of complexity they must manage. Design thinking is an essential tool for simplifying and humanizing. It can't be extra; it needs to be a core competence.
"There's no longer any real distinction between business strategy and the design of the user experience," said Bridget van Kralingen, the senior vice president of IBM Global Business Services, in a statement to the press. In November 2013 IBM opened a design studio in Austin, Texas—part of the company's $100 million investment in building a massive design organization. As Phil Gilbert, the general manager of the effort, explained in a press release, "Quite simply, our goal—on a scale unmatched in the industry—is to modernize enterprise software for today's user, who demands great design everywhere, at home and at work." The company intends to hire 1,000 designers.
The pursuit of design isn't limited to large brand-name corporations; the big strategy-consulting firms are also gearing up for this new world, often by acquiring leading providers of design services. In the past few years, Deloitte acquired Doblin, Accenture acquired Fjord, and McKinsey acquired Lunar. Olof Schybergson, the founder of Fjord, views design thinking's empathetic stance as fundamental to business success. As he told an interviewer, "Going direct to consumers is a big disruptor….There are new opportunities to gather data and insights about consumer behavior, likes, dislikes….Those who have data and an appetite for innovation will prevail." These acquisitions suggest that design is becoming table stakes for high-value corporate consulting—an expected part of a portfolio of business services.
The entertainment company operates globally, so it values repeatable, predictable operational efficiency in support of quarterly profit reporting. Because the introduction of technology into the parks represented a massive capital expenditure, there was pressure for a guarantee of a healthy return. Design, however, doesn't conform easily to estimates. It's difficult if not impossible to understand how much value will be delivered through a better experience or to calculate the return on an investment in creativity.
Transformative innovation is inherently risky. It involves inferences and leaps of faith; if something hasn't been done before, there's no way to guarantee its outcome. The philosopher Charles Peirce said that insights come to us "like a flash"—in an epiphany—making them difficult to rationalize or defend. Leaders need to create a culture that allows people to take chances and move forward without a complete, logical understanding of a problem. Our partners at the entertainment company were empowered to hire a design consultancy, and the organization recognized that the undertaking was no sure thing.
As corporate leaders become aware of the power of design, many view design thinking as a solution to all their woes. Designers, enjoying their new level of strategic influence, often reinforce that impression. When I worked with the entertainment company, I was part of that problem, primarily because my livelihood depended on selling design consulting. But design doesn't solve all problems. It helps people and organizations cut through complexity. It's great for innovation. It works extremely well for imagining the future. But it's not the right set of tools for optimizing, streamlining, or otherwise operating a stable business. Additionally, even if expectations are set appropriately, they must be aligned around a realistic timeline—culture changes slowly in large organizations.
An organizational focus on design offers unique opportunities for humanizing technology and for developing emotionally resonant products and services. Adopting this perspective isn't easy. But doing so helps create a workplace where people want to be, one that responds quickly to changing business dynamics and empowers individual contributors. And because design is empathetic, it implicitly drives a more thoughtful, human approach to business.


I cannot tell you how excited and happy I am to see Tony in the barn eating his hay every time I go in there.
He is going through a crazy amount of hay and llama feed. That's a good thing!
I am grateful to my vet (and not the jerks from the ISU field services) for helping me get him the right treatment. I'm also grateful to my nephew for helping give shots and the alfalfa hay (the kids like his leftovers too) and Claire for helping give the last shot.
I am pretty sure he's going to survive. We just need to get some more weight on him and then he'll be ready to go eat on pasture all spring and summer and finish gaining his weight back again.

Le ePrix de Bruxelles est une épreuve qui aurait compté pour le championnat de Formule E FIA. Elle a été prévue pour le  sur un tracé provisoire autour du Parc Élisabeth, à Bruxelles. Mais l'épreuve a été finalement annulée.

Historique

La première apparition de l'ePrix de Bruxelles était sur le calendrier provisoire publié en mai 2016, mais à ce stade, il était encore prévu pour le , seulement après la publication du calendrier officiel en début , la course a été fixée au .

Le circuit initial était prévu sur le plateau du Heysel, avec 14 virages et une longueur d'environ , il serait passé à côté de plusieurs monuments célèbres comme le Parc des expositions, le Stade Roi Baudouin et l'Atomium où il y aurait eu les stands. Finalement, à cause de l'occupation des lieux par le festival Couleur Café le même week-end, un nouveau lieu a été trouvé au centre-ville de Bruxelles.

Mais quelques semaines après, des problèmes logistiques sont apparus sur le nouveau circuit, qui ont poussé le gouvernement régional de Bruxelles et la Formule E de trouver un lieu de remplacement ou de reporter l'ePrix à l'année suivante. Finalement, le , le Conseil Mondial de la FIA a officialisé l'annulation de l'ePrix de Bruxelles qui sera remplacé par une manche double de l'ePrix de Berlin, le 10 et .

En 2019, alors que des ePrix existent dans les plus grandes capitales européennes (Paris, Rome, Berlin, Londres, Berne, Monaco), le projet d'un ePrix de Bruxelles est au point mort.

Le circuit
Le tracé est composé de 13 virages et est long de , il tourne dans le sens horaire.

Le circuit se situe au centre-ville de Bruxelles, dans la commune de Koekelberg, la ligne de départ-arrivée se situe sur l'Avenue des Gloires Nationales. Après le premier virage, le circuit arrive sur l'Avenue de Jette, la droite est interrompue par un virage en forme de S. Après avoir passé le quatrième virage, le circuit arrive sur la Place Eugène Simonis qu'il poursuit jusqu'au virage 6, puis le circuit tourne à gauche vers l'Avenue de la Liberté. Après avoir passé le septième virage, le circuit continue sur l'Avenue du Panthéon jusqu'au neuvième virage où se trouve l'entrée des stands. Après le virage, le circuit suit l'Avenue Emile Bossaert, et puis l'Avenue Jacques Sermon et il passe à côté de la Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, la sortie des stands se trouve après le dernier virage et le circuit boucle le tour.

As far as finance-sector IPOs are concerned, this month all eyes will be on mobile-payments facilitator Square when it makes its market debut next week. But it won't be the only new finance stock in town -- independent lender loanDepot is slated to IPO this Friday.
In fact, loanDepot's issue is (at the moment, anyway) set to be larger than Square's, at roughly $510 million compared to $324 million. loanDepot also has a pack of heavyweight banks behind its IPO, including Wells Fargo Securities and Citigroup .
So loanDepot's IPO is, literally, a big deal. Here's a glance at the company and the key details of the issue.
Log in for a loanAs its name and oddball capitalization suggest, loanDepot is a consumer lender with a heavy presence online. In its IPO prospectus, the company says it is the No. 2 direct-to-consumer non-bank lender in the country when gauged by annual funded loan amount. It operates under its eponymous brand name, plus the imortgage, Mortgage Master, and LDWholesale brands.
loanDepot aims to leverage its considerable technology to make its processes more efficient than those of more traditional lenders. Still, despite that pronounced tech slant, it has over 150 physical branch offices throughout the U.S.
It's a busy company experiencing a growth spurt. In the trailing 12-month period ending July 30, it originated just over $22 billion in loans -- 125% higher on a year-over-year basis.
Recent fundamentals have also been growing briskly. Net revenue for the first half of this year was nearly $490 million -- more than double the $244 million of the same period of 2014. Net profit, meanwhile, came in almost seven times higher at $69 million.
Craving creditAmerican consumers simply love to borrow money. According to loanDepot, this country had nearly $12 trillion in household debt outstanding as of June 30.
The company says its target segment -- consumer debt excluding auto and student loans -- was $1.6 trillion lower than at the peak of last decade's financial crisis. That spells opportunity in the consumer debt market, and loanDepot argues that it is well poised to take advantage of it, as its lean-and-mean business model can compete against more traditional lenders -- like its backers Wells Fargo and Citigroup.
loanDepot characterizes these entities as being "burdened by high fixed costs and antiquated processes, in part due to extensive legacy infrastructure and labor-intensive processes." It also believes these difficulties have been exacerbated by a comparatively strict regulatory environment.
The company might be overly bullish about the amount of fresh credit Americans are hungry for -- not to mention the competitive advantages it has -- but there's no doubt that consumer lending here is a big, ripe market. There is plenty of business to go around, and a lender that can shovel cash to borrowers in a more efficient way than its big rivals has obvious appeal.
So this is an ambitious, profitable company operating in a robust corner of the economy. As such, it makes an intriguing investment.
loanDepot is scheduled to hit the market on Friday. 30 million shares are to be sold at $16 to $18 apiece, and the stock will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol LDI.
The list of lead underwriters for the issue is long -- and, ironically, reads like a who's who of traditional financial companies. In addition to the aforementioned Wells Fargo Securities and Citigroup, it includes Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, UBS Investment Bank, and Barclays.

A World Food Programme (WFP) ship carrying humanitarian aid offloaded its cargo in Yemen on Wednesday, the United Nations said, after it was diverted to Saudi Arabia earlier this month because it was carrying communications equipment.
"The World Food Programme confirms that the Mainport Cedar has offloaded its cargo at Yemen's Hodeida port today," said U.N. spokesman Farhan Haq.
"The vessel was carrying interagency cargo that includes canned tuna and medical supplies. It had also been carrying information technology equipment that was left behind in Jizan to complete paperwork to allow it into Aden for the U.N. humanitarian hub," Haq said.
Brigadier General Ahmed Asseri, the Saudi-led coalition's spokesman, said earlier this month that the communications equipment was similar to that used by the Houthis and had not been declared by the WFP.
United Nations aid chief Stephen O'Brien told the U.N. Security Council earlier this month that a U.N. verification and inspection mechanism for shipments had now been launched in a bid to boost commercial imports. O'Brien is due to address the council again on Yemen on Thursday.
More than 6,000 people have been killed, about half of them civilians, in Yemen since Saudi-led forces began military operations in March last year after the Houthis advanced on Hadi's temporary headquarters in the southern port city of Aden.

Q: How to use a custom Web API from Logic app custom connector using AAD client credentials flow? I have an existing ASP.NET Core API with its Swagger supporting JWT bearer token authentication from an AAD (mono-tenant).
This API supports both user and client credentials JWT tokens.
I am trying to create and use a logic app custom connector to use my API but I cannot find a way to make the client credentials authentication work.
It seems I can edit the swagger file to use the 'application' flow but it does not seems to be correctly supported.
securityDefinitions:
  oauth2_auth:
    type: oauth2
    flow: application
    tokenUrl: https://login.microsoftonline.com/xxxxxxx/oauth2/v2.0/token
    scopes: {.default: .default}

Are client credentials supported from the logic app connector without custom logic in the logic app flow ? (I cannot find anything about supported scenarios in the docs)

A: In order to use the credentials in a standard connector, you need to switch to Active Directory OAuth. And then fill in the client credentials. If you are about to use Microsoft Graph, make sure to specify the Audience as well.

For more details, you could refer to this article.

THE LORD'S PRAYER: AN EASTERN PERSPECTIVE
Kwan-Yuk Claire Sit
"This book opens the door to Eastern religious and cultural practices in an attempt to shed light on the teachings implicit in The Lord's Prayer. It uses simple analogies and inspiring anecdotes to unveil seemingly subtle and obscure Eastern concepts. It paves a path for Self-realization along the trail of The Lord's Prayer, merging the precious teachings of Eastern and Western masters from the Buddha, Confucius, Lao Tzu, Mother Teresa, The Dalai Lama, and others. It is written for people who seek inspiration to enrich their lives, who desire greater mastery of Eastern philosophy, and who value information on practical spirituality." (from the preface)
"Our Father, our Mother, and our Great Tao, You are pure Consciousness in a state of infinite compassion and eternal bliss. As Above So Below, we can also attain such a state. We only have to seek the 'I Am' within and bring out our highest ideals. All our activities are subject to the 'More Use Easier Use' principle. We know that 'practice makes perfect', but we need to be careful so as not to be entrapped by our undesirable habits." (from chapter 9)
Kwan-Yuk Claire Sit grew up in Hong Kong and moved to the U.S. to attend graduate school. She holds a Ph.D. in pure mathematics from the City University of New York and is Professor Emerita at La Guardia Community College. She is deeply interested in Eastern philosophy and Anthroposophy, and her hobbies include knitting, Chinese calligraphy, and Tang and Sung poems.

I am super excited to once again participate in The Ultimate Blog Party hosted by Janice and Susan from 5 Minutes for Mom. This year is the 8th year that they have held this event. Being a part of The Ultimate Blog Party is a great way to network and connect with other bloggers. I have been blogging since September of 2007 and this year will be the fifth year that I will join in.
For this year I am going to answer some frequently asked questions about myself, my family and my blogs.
I have also included a short video and a linky. If you are unable to leave me a comment, or you just want me to visit your blog please link up to either your blog's home page or your Ultimate Blog Party post. I promise I will visit you as soon as I can!
What you may not know about Cascia Talbert and The Healthy Moms Magazine.
I grew up in a small town near Madison, WI. I lived in Wisconsin until I was 29. That year, 2008, my husband and I fell victim to the housing bust and our home foreclosed. I was only working part time and he got laid off, so we were unable to make our mortgage payments. At the time we already had three children and we needed a place to live. We were fortunate that my husband's grandmother's home in Sacramento, California was vacant, so we packed up everything in Wisconsin and moved to California. We lived there for two very long years.
Today I live with my husband and five children in a small college town just outside of Spokane, Washington. Chris (my husband) works in sales and Spokane is part of his territory. Unfortunately, all of my family (except my sister who is in Los Angeles) live in Wisconsin or Illinois and Chris' family lives in Sacramento. We have lived here for three years.
What do you like about living in Spokane?
I love looking out my bedroom window and seeing the mountains on a clear day. The people here are very friendly and down to earth and everyone values sports and an active lifestyle. The schools here are excellent and there is a ton of activities out here for families. Spokane is a great place to raise your children. The population is just right, not too large, and not too small. Traffic is reasonable. Even during rush hour it only takes about 15-20 minutes to get to down town Spokane from where we live.
The only thing I do not like about Spokane is the climate. Most days the wind blows at least 10-15 miles per hour and the winters are long. Winter usually begins right around Halloween and ends sometime in April. Spring is short lasting from April through May. By June we have temperatures reaching 70 degrees, but it is still windy. July and August are the only warm months in the year. We are lucky if the temperatures get above 90 degrees during those months. Rarely does it hit 100. In September and October the winds pick up, the temperature drops and the trees are bare before Halloween. This is the beginning of my yearly hibernation.
How many children do you have? Tell me a little about them.
I have five children. My oldest is seventeen, the next oldest is eight, followed by my three boys ages six, four and three. Four of my children have special needs. My seventeen-year-old and six-year-old both have high functioning autism (formally Asperger's). My eight-year-old has trichotillomania which is a disorder that causes her to pull out her hair, eye lashes and eye brows. My four-year-old has learning disabilities. All of my kids are happy and healthy and bring me joy every single day.
I started The Healthy Moms Magazine in September 2007. You can read my very first post HERE published on September 25, 2007. I originally started blogging because we needed a little extra income and I read online that you could make money blogging. I researched popular niches for blogs and learned that the health niche was exploding. This was wonderful news because I was already passionate about healthy living. I was only working part time, so I had the free time in my schedule to start a blog. But, I never imagined what this little website would turn into six years later.
I have learned so much over the years about producing good quality content, the importance of networking with other bloggers, and promotion through social media. Today, my blog is known as "The Number One Health Blog for Moms." I write educational articles on a variety of health, fitness and parenting topics. My articles have been featured on Tend, Wellsphere , Google News, and News360. I have also featured several health experts and popular mommy bloggers. I offer a variety of services for brands and have a loyal following on Google+, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Stumble Upon, and LinkedIn.
My blog has grown so much that I realized that there was a large demand for mommy health bloggers like myself to connect with each other and connect with brands. Last summer I launched Healthy Moms Media and re-launched Healthy Moms Social. Healthy Moms Media is the name of all three sites combined, The Healthy Moms Magazine (thehealthymoms.net) Healthy Moms Social (healthymoms-social.com) and HealthyMomsMedia.com. My goal is to reach out to and connect with as many bloggers who share a passion of health and wellness like myself and connect them with the brands that I am in contact with every single day. My network is still in it's infancy but potential for growth is enormous.
Join Healthy Moms Social HERE so you can get in early.
I am also looking for serious bloggers to help contribute to The Healthy Moms Magazine and help grow the Healthy Moms Media network. Please visit This Link for details.
Do you live what you preach?
Absolutely! In fact this blog helps keep me in check. I make sure I work out five days a week and enjoy running when the weather is nice. I always tweet out my runs.
I eat a clean diet high in lean protein and plant based foods and I am very strict about what I feed my kids. I firmly believe that parents need to be well educated on healthy living and show a good example for their kids. We are our children's first teachers. They admire and look up to us every single day. Little kids learn by copying their parents. It is very important that we live in a way that we want our children to live. If your son sees you sitting on the couch every single night eating a bag of potato chips and drinking a can of soda while watching TV he is going to believe that it is okay to do those things. On the other hand, if your daughter sees you working out to a fitness DVD in your bedroom she is going to want and probably will join you. Lead by example.
If you have any other questions for me please leave them in the comments or you can tweet them to me at https://twitter.com/cltalbert . I try my best to reply or favorite all of my notifications on twitter.
Please link up if you are participating in The Ultimate Blog Party 2014.

Playing lessons are available upon request. Our instructors will play 9 or 18 holes with the student, evaluate the student's level of play and course management skills, and provide a full game evaluation. Prior to the round, we will focus on the student's game plan for the day and how to mentally prepare to play. During the round, we will offer advice on how to play certain shots, how to manage the course, and how to best use the skills of the player to obtain the lowest score. After the round, we will develop a plan for improvement.


A longtime paramedicine instructor at the Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC) has been honoured by International Trauma Life Support (ITLS) for excellence in teaching and innovation in ITLS programs.
Bill Bailey was recently recognized as the 2017 Instructor of the Year by ITLS, a global, not-for-profit organization dedicated to preventing death and disability from trauma through education and emergency trauma care. The ITLS course is taught through 90 chapters in 40 countries around the world. For paramedics in BC, the ITLS program is taught as part of ongoing professional development following Primary Care Paramedic training.
Originally trained as a nurse, Bailey has worked as a paramedic since the late 1970s, based out of Chilliwack, BC. He has been a paramedicine instructor at JIBC since 1991 and affiliated with ITLS since 1993, the first such instructor at JIBC. He currently serves as the provincial coordinator for ITLS as well as the coordinator of the JIBC chapter of ITLS.
The award recognizes in particular Bailey's efforts to tailor the ITLS course to JIBC's numerous contract clients, incorporating clients' protocols, procedures and policies. That can range from setting training scenarios for corrections nurses in prison cells, to ensuring cultural differences are followed in Abu Dhabi.
