I am now seeking to transfer

July 29th, 2010 No comments

I am now seeking to transfer my considerable experience into ?fill in
the blank.? This is an effective explanation that focuses the listener on the present
and future, not the past.

Speaking of the past, if you are carrying around years of hurt or slights by the boss
who mistreated you, let go of this immediately.

These memories can be painful and hard to forget. But they keep you stuck in the
past. Not the place you need to be to get a new job.

To get help leaving this baggage behind and to shift your approach, consider
working with a coach or counselor.

These processes can be placed into five

July 29th, 2010 No comments

These processes can be placed into five process groups (initiating, planning, executing, controlling and closing) and nine knowledge areas (project integration management, project scope management, project time management, project cost management, project quality management, project human resource management, project communications management, project risk management and project procurement management).

A Project Management Rule: Embrace uncertainty. Expect the unexpected. There is far more that we don?t know and can?t know than what we can anticipate. Be resilient to what life throws at you. Anticipate that your team will learn something along the way that can and should change what you have promised and how you can deliver on your promises.

The core variables of the project management process, namely: product scope, quality grade, time-to-produce and total cost-at-completion must all be mutually consistent and attainable.

Tracking progress on a project management should be a regular part of you daily routine, even if you have other duties that require your attention.

Formal methods of Project Management offer a framework to manage this process, providing a series of elements ? templates and procedures ? to manage the Project Management through its life cycle.

Relaxing on the West River

0 Comments | Capital, Nov 29, 2008 | by DONNA L. COLE

A narrow, ambling creek in the backyard, lots of mature trees bursting in an abundance of autumn color, a beautiful house full of family history, and even Elvis – this is the West River home of Gary Monetti.

Let’s first address Elvis. He’s a fish; albeit a striking koi, but a fish nonetheless. He lives in a fishpond in Mr. Monetti’s sunroom with several koi friends that Mr. Monetti, for good reason, refers to as his pets. They come when called and are full of personality, though they are somewhat shy around strangers.

SUPREME COURT RULING:

0 Comments | Charleston Gazette, The, Jul 5, 2010 | by Rusty Marks

Charleston city officials don’t expect a recent Supreme Court decision questioning local government handgun bans to affect Charleston’s gun ordinances.

Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court voted 5-4 that the Second Amendment right for private citizens to keep guns applies to state and local governments. The ruling in McDonald vs. Chicago held that a nearly all-out handgun ban in the city of Chicago should take into account a citizen’s Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

The ruling comes in the wake of another 5-4 Supreme Court ruling from 2008 – known as the Heller ruling – where the court held that the Second Amendment provides citizens with a fundamental right to keep weapons in their homes for self-defense.

But officials in Charleston don’t expect the two rulings will affect the city’s gun ordinances.

“We don’t think [our ordinance] is anti-Second Amendment,” Mayor Danny Jones said shortly after the McDonald ruling.

In Charleston, guns are prohibited in City Hall and on city property. A second ordinance requires a three-day waiting period for people who want to buy a gun in the city, and limits gun purchases to one per month.

Charleston City Council President Tom Lane said handgun dealers in the city are also required to have a business license allowing them to sell guns.

The waiting period and one-gun-per-month limit come from a 1993 city ordinance, when Charleston City Council voted 14-12 in favor of the limits

Of course the more expensive

Of course the more expensive treadmill machines offer a variety of functions and are meant more for gym use rather than home use. The treadmills, which are meant for home use, can even be folded away. The running belt wraps around the console and thus it can be stowed away.

The more expensive versions of the treadmill machines have a variety of functions. They also have a console, which offers many resistance levels. The incline of the treadmill can also be adjusted. Therefore the treadmill can simulate the action of walking uphill. Those who want an advanced workout should opt for, which will help them in their workout, thus treadmill machines offer a variety of advantages for the runner. The control panel on the treadmill machine also gives the reading for the heart rate; pulse rate, the miles covered and speed can be adjusted as per convenience..

Applying the EDAC process to a clinical education environment

Healthcare Design, May 2010 by Taege, Kate, Rasche, Jim

National University Hospital (NUH) in Singapore began planning in 2009 for their new 775,000-square-foot medical center – home of the new National University Cancer Institute of Singapore project (NCIS) and the Specialty Outpatient Clinics (SOCs). Their mission was to integrate excellent clinical care, translational research, and superior medical instruction to support their vision,”Shaping Medicine for the Future.” Working with Kahler Slater’s Singapore office – a Milwaukee-based Evidence-Based Design Accreditation and Certification (EDAC) Champion firm – and a local Singaporean firm, Consultants Incorporated Architects and Planners (CIAP), NUH established a strategy to create a new world-class ambulatory medical center. From the onset, the design’s intent was to promote experiences that would allow NUH to accelerate the realization of their vision.

NUH recognized that a major influence on the design would be the educational aspect of the project. Therefore, they employed a strategy to redesign the undergraduate medical school curriculum for teaching and learning in the ambulatory setting. The curriculum is being rewritten to promote more case-based, interactive, hands-on learning with students having assignments to participate in real clinical settings with real patients and senior physicians

Call Atlanta Roofers to Keep Your Home Dry

Call Atlanta Roofers to Keep Your Home Dry by OMNI Marketing
in Home / Home Repair (submitted 2010-02-16)

SUMMARY: Heavy rainfall and tremendous flooding throughout Atlanta this year has resulted in an astounding number of calls to Atlanta roofers. To prepare your home for the winter, you should find trustworthy Atlanta roofing professionals to ensure your roof is protected.

Heavy rainfall and tremendous flooding throughout Atlanta this year has resulted in an astounding number of calls to Atlanta roofers. In some neighborhoods, 90% of all homes needed some sort of roof repair or replacement! If it wasn’t rainfall and flooding, there were baseball-sized hail and gusty winds wreaking havoc on homeowners’ most precious investment. Atlanta roofing companies have been extremely busy but they are happy to have the influx of new clients.

Good professional Atlanta roofers will give homeowners free annual estimates. Since Atlanta is so prone to rough weather – hot sun beating down, unrelenting baseball-sized hails and high hurricane winds – it’s reasonable to assume a lot can go wrong up there on the roof. As the wind whips up the steep sloped roofs, certain areas become more vulnerable than others. The wind may catch some shingles and carry them off into oblivion or cause cracking at weak spots caused by hail impact.

There are many areas Atlanta roofers will check to see if they can help you repair structural problems and ramp up for, what meteorologists say, will be one wet, cold winter. Atlanta roofing professionals will look for shingles that have lost asphalt granules, which may turn into a leak in a few years. They will also look for wind damaged portions of the roof – ripped up shingles, caved-in asphalt and wind blistered cracks. They can check the previous Atlanta roofing company’s handiwork to see if there were any mistakes in how the roof was put on or if any seals were put on weakly

Crofton church members strive to make life better in Guatemalan

Crofton church members strive to make life better in Guatemalan

0 Comments | Capital, Jul 27, 2010

Pulling extra suitcases packed with school supplies, sports equipment, clothing donations and even a printer, 28 members of Community United Methodist Church (CUMC) of Crofton left their every- day lives behind last month and traveled to the mountainous village of Las Granadillas, Guatemala.

The missionary team, which was comprised of local public school teachers, high school students and church members, flew into Guatemala City and stayed in a local mission overnight before going on to their destination.

Once they got settled for their stay on the floor of the church, which was laid by former CUMC missionaries several years ago, the group focused on three main goals – making improvements to the buildings in the village, introducing new teaching techniques to the school teachers and assisting in the medical clinic.

Through an ongoing partnership with the nonprofit Global Community Health Evangelism, CUMC has forged strong ties to Las Granadillas. Church members have made multiple trips to the village helping to build the school, medical clinic and church.

“We made lots of little improvements,” said Joyce Matney, CUMC mission chair. “We ran electricity into one of the classrooms and also installed plastic skylights so the kids could see.

“Our goal was to enhance life in the village without damaging the culture. We strived to make small changes to improve their daily living and gave the people tools to help themselves,” Joyce said.

Ingrid McCoy, an art teacher at Beltsville Academy in Prince George’s County, worked in the classroom alongside the village’s first grade teacher. “There were 24 in the class. The oldest first- grader was a 12-year-old girl. To have one teacher with so many kids at differing levels is a real challenge,” explained Ingrid.

“We brought materials with us and were able to teach based on the curriculum that was supplied to us in advance,” said Ingrid. “We spent an entire week in the classroom with the kids, which allowed us to model teaching techniques for the teachers. We taught them how to work in small groups and use different strategies for reading and math. We also introduced manipulatives,” said Ingrid, explaining how she brought clay for the first-graders and had children form letters.

“At the beginning of the week, I could sense the teacher’s reservations about handing over her classroom but gradually there was shift and we really bonded,” said Ingrid. “As teachers we really shared an emotional exchange and the kids were as sweet as can be.”

Ingrid also said that the high school and college youth who came on the trip really rose to the occasion. “They played soccer and catch with the village children, sang to them and braided their hair,” recalled Ingrid.

Recent Arundel High grad Rachel Matney had been on several mission trips but said she had not really ever had the chance to meet and talk to the people she was helping. In Guatemala, she worked in the school with the children which gave her a new outlook.

“I realized that material things aren’t everything,” reflected Rachel. “The kids I worked with didn’t have much and some even wore the same outfit for the better part of the week. But despite their situation they were overjoyed just to have someone new to play with.

“Our team also brought many new toys and balls for the kids to play with and they were enchanted for the rest of the week,” said Rachel. “This really hit home for me because it showed me that it’s the little things that really count.”

Also taking part in the mission were father and daughter duo, Jim and Molly Sinnott. Advanced placement Spanish courses at Arundel High enabled Molly to serve as a translator throughout the 10-day trip. The villagers speak a Mayan dialect known as Mam and but most speak Spanish as well.

Through donations, Molly was able to provide the children with musical recorders and taught the children basic songs.

Jim introduced the children to physical education. Bringing along donated tennis rackets, special balls and a moveable net, Jim served a tennis ball to a student only to have it headed back to him. While the kids had never been exposed to tennis, they were very familiar with football (our soccer)
