Designed by an award winning architect, Moro Ma Doto Resort is a combination of new and vernacular concepts in tropical design. The celebration lies in the simplicity of what the land has to offer and in the gentle approach through its landscape and architecture. Naturally inspired by the topography and the qualities of the land and sea, the buildings convince with their true essence.
Natural winding pathways connect the main public spaces with the entrance…its ‘porte cochere’ and reception down to the villas. The careful placement of the dwellings and the spacious setting naturally provide freedom and privacy.
Garden spaces freely intermingle with the buildings and extend further to the restaurant and swimming pool giving the experience of the flow of the land.
Weathered recycled timbers (drift wood) and carefully selected wood combined with new natural materials are used to create unique interiors rich in character. Traditional fish traps and baskets are handcrafted into lampshades or used as accessories in the rooms as is woven ‘Pandanus’ fiber used for backings or rugs. The outer roof layer is constructed from the leaf of the Sago Palm which is the traditional choice of material and blends thus perfectly into the surrounding forests.

Judges and four student teams representing member schools from across the Global Network for Advanced Management convened virtually on March 1 for a live pitch competition as part of the 2018-19 Global Network Investment Competition* sponsored by the Yale School of Management’s International Center for Finance. The security analysis competition tasks teams with selecting a stock from their home country, developing an investment thesis, and pitching the merits of the investment to a panel of judges. Teams are evaluated on four criteria: quality of stock analysis and research, investment thesis, presentation skills, and the quality of a question-and-answer session with judges.
Capital Y, the team from Yale SOM, was named the winner of the security analysis prize, taking home the $3,500 first prize for its analysis of stock offerings from alternative asset management firm the Blackstone Group. Team members include Christina Jin ’20; Sonya Shen ’20; Kevin Sun ’20; Sam Xue ’21, a Silver Scholar; and Yichen Zheng ’20.
The team from Italy’s SDA Bocconi School of Management, MBA 44, was named the runner-up, taking home a $1,500 prize for its analysis of offerings from Prysmian Group, a multinational manufacturing company. Team members include Pedro Amorim, Pedro Barreiro, Marco Fantozzi, Martin Homolka, Nikj Pesce, and Christopher Rufo.
Also participating in the competition were Crazy But Not Yet Rich Asians, a team from National University of Singapore Business School that analyzed stock offerings from engineering group Sembcorp Marine Limited; and 4D Investments, a team from Seoul National University Business School that analyzed stock offerings from steel manufacturer SeAH Besteel.
Judges included portfolio manager Michael J. Alpert, chair of the Wealth Management Investment Committee at Stralem and Company; Andrea Baumann Lustig ’86, president, Stralem and Company; Christopher Kim, senior analyst, Cartica; and Eddie Tam ’93, CEO and CIO of Central Asset Investments, International Center for Finance board member, and member of the Yale SOM Greater China Advisory Board.
Judges offered feedback to competitors at the conclusion of the presentations, providing constructive criticism and commending the teams on their work.
Kim encouraged the teams to embrace the experience as a learning opportunity.
“The best advice I can give is to continue to watch the stocks. Break down what went right and what went wrong, and just keep learning, because that’s all this is about—everyone [in the industry is] learning all the time,” he said.
*The portfolio performance portion of the Global Network Investment Competition is ongoing, and you can view the current standings at the competition website.

Following on from the first volume covering British Napoleonic Artillery, this volume concentrates on the heavy weapons of siege and coastal defences. This book covers the main equipments used; the 24 pounder siege gun and a variety of mortars. Mortars varied from 4- or 5-inch versions up to a13 inch calibre and were considered to be extremely effective because they used an exploding shell to destroy fortifications or personnel. Also covered in detail is the specialist bomb vessel, which was used to attack fortifications in a similar fashion; siege techniques; and the tactical use of siege and coastal artillery.

Stomach, disorders of the The stomach may be affected by various disorders, including gastrointestinal infections, peptic ulcers, gastritis, pyloric stenosis, volvulus, polyps, and stomach cancer.
Stomach a hollow, bag-like organ of the digestive system located in the left side of the abdomen under the diaphragm. Food enters the stomach from the esophagus and exits into the duodenum.
The sight and smell of food, and its arrival in the stomach, stimulate gastric secretion from the stomach lining. Gastric juice contains pepsin, an enzyme that breaks down protein; hydrochloric acid, which kills bacteria and creates the optimum pH for pepsin activity; and intrinsic factor, which is essential for absorption of vitamin Bl2 in the small intestine. The gastric lining also secretes mucus to stop the stomach digesting itself.
Stomach cancer, a malignant tumour that arises from the lining of the stomach. The exact cause is unknown, but HELICOBACTER PYLORI infection is thought to be linked to increased incidence. Other likely factors include smoking and alcohol intake; diet may also play a part, in particular eating large amounts of salted or pickled foods. Pernicious anaemia, a partial gastrectomy, and belonging to blood group A also seem to increase the risk.
Stomach cancer rarely affects people under 40 and is more common in men. Symptoms may include weight loss, loss of appetite, and difficulty swallowing. There may also be other symptoms indistinguishable from those of peptic ulcer.
Diagnosis is usually made by gastro copy or by a barium X-ray examination. The only effective treatment is total gastrectomy. In advanced cases in which the tumour has spread, anticancer drugs may prolong life.
One function of the stomach is to grind food into smaller particles and mix it with digestive juices so the food can be absorbed when it reaches the small intestine. The stomach normally empties its contents into the intestine at a controlled rate. The stomach has three types of contractions: (1) There are rhythmic, 3 per minute, synchronized contractions in the lower part of the stomach, which create waves of food particles and juice which splash against a closed sphincter muscle (the pyloric sphincter) to grind the food into small particles. (2) The upper part of the stomach shows slow relaxations lasting a minute or more that follow each swallow and that allow the food to enter the stomach; at other times the upper part of the stomach shows slow contractions which help to empty the stomach. (3) Between meals, after all the digestible food has left the stomach, there are occasional bursts of very strong, synchronized contractions that are accompanied by opening of the pyloric sphincter muscle. These are sometimes called "housekeeper waves" because their function is to sweep any indigestible particles out of the stomach. Another name for them is the migrating motor complex.
Examples of stomach (gastric) motility disorders include delayed gastric emplying (gastroparesis), rapid gastric emptying (dumping syndrome), and functional dyspepsia.

he has 18' RH C5's on it right?? tsunami front?
hydro's would probably kill any sort of handling you have but it sure does look :bigpimp: .
i've never seen a civic with hydro's in action before.
when he's driving he puts the front up and the rear down because he thinks its really cool.
is it air ride or real hydros? sopund like air ride.
to be honest i don't know. when i was behind him, he had the car fully rasied up. i could see something connected to the rear control arms.
He had it in the auto trader a couple of weeks ago, i'm pretty sure it has air suspension............cause thats what it said in his ad...............of what type i don't know.
I think I saw him at the RPM show, it looked tight except that the body was all flexing and it looked like his front and rear bumbers were gonna rip apart. Haha, oh well, atleast it's unique!

I became aware of Quora through Twitter. I was noticing Quora this and Quora that without understanding what it was and eventually I must have clicked on a link and ended up on the Quora site.
Quora is a Q&A tool with a social networking dimension. It's integrated with Twitter. These days, everything needs to be integrated with Twitter it seems. You set up an account and off you go, posting questions and answering other people's questions.
It reminded me of Aardvark, a similar Q&A service that I tried out (never really got into) a few months ago and Wolfram Alpha. Aardvark is more about seeking advice about where to take your next vacation and Wolfram Alpha is more like querying an encyclopedia. I'm simplifying.
Aardvark seemed to be a Q&A in a vacuum, with random people answering your questions whereas Quora collects and displays answers in a semi-organized fashion and allows you to identify topics of interest and people to follow. Wolfram Alpha is a powerful search engine that retrieves verified information. At least that's my impression.
As a public tool, these are interesting experiments but I'm more interested in their potential application within organizations. There is a significant amount of literature on knowledge management systems within organizations specifically focused on Q&A types of "solutions." These are based on a number of assumptions: 1) there is a demand and supply side in the knowledge equation, a market; 2) the correct incentives are in place and all you need is a tool to act as a bridge between knowledge seekers and knowledge owners.
When you set up tools such as Yammer within an organization, you are essentially opening up broader avenues for people to connect, potentially ask questions and get answers. You should not expect everyone to use these new channels for Q&A purposes and you should not expect this to be THE solution. A Q&A system such as Quora, when implemented within an organization, has the advantage of gathering answers into one spot. Answers don't get lost in the traffic, they accumulate, in a not-so-orderly fashion, around questions.
I haven't explored the tool long enough to understand its true potential, but long enough to have a few questions: How much structure should be imposed for the system to remain useful and usable? How much policing and training is necessary to avoid complete chaos? How do you deal with the skeptics who will inevitably say that none of the content is "validated" knowledge, that it could actually be dangerous if people follow the advice posted and it's wrong.
It's not exactly a new idea. I remembered reading a paper by Ackerman & Malone titled "Answer Garden: a tool for growing organizational memory," from 1990 (might as well be a century ago).
Quora is interesting to me in particular because of the more serious tone it takes, as well as the way it's attracted highly credible sources. Allowing people to "vote up" the answers they find most useful isn't new either, but I've been fairly impressed by what they've done, and it's worth studying how they've done it.
Not to say that they've got it right. I've asked two questions on Quora so far, and one still goes unanswered, days later. Yes, it was KM related.
I agree. Definitely worth watching and interacting with.

SAN DIEGO — "We're currently talking about babies and animals — that's how little you're learning about Season 4," co-creator Steven Moffat cracked during Sherlock's Comic-Con panel Sunday morning, following a few minutes of discussion about Mary's forthcoming baby and a very stubborn dog — who made the internet rounds recently in the first released photo from the forthcoming season.
Needless to say, there wasn't a lot of intel shared about Moriarty, who shocked fans at the end of Season 3 by apparently being alive. In the world premiere teaser trailer that screened during the panel, Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock sets the scene via dramatic voiceover: "Something's coming. Maybe's it's Moriarty, maybe it's not," before text flashes, promising "Everything they know will be tested." The new footage — full of quick cuts and big explosions — also gave fans a brief glance at Toby Jones’ new villain.
"The ones we’re doing now are so ambitious,” Cumberbatch shared. “It’s an emotional roller coaster, this [season]."
But fans shouldn't fear that there won't be the show's signature humor mixed in between the mysteries. "Life is a mixture of the two, comedy and drama," Gatiss said. “Your release from a dramatic situation is often humor — as it should be."
Humor peppered the panel, with Cumberbatch breaking out a Trump impression at one point as well as lengthy asides about whether Cumberbatch is ever going to take off his iconic coat. "Every year [producer Sue Vertue] tells me 'We’re going to change the coat,' and I say, 'We’re not going to change the coat,'" Moffat said. Cumberbatch countered with a plea: "I wear a suit under that coat. It’s really hot."
Yes, yes, that's all well and good fun, but after the team danced and dodged around specifics, the panel was turned over to fans for a Q&A. And they wanted answers, dang it.
Unfortunately, despite worthy fan persistence, there wasn't a clear answer about whether the show will continue after 2017's Season 4, although it looks promising. Ever the downer, Moffat reminded everyone that may not be the right question: "Why is everyone assuming they all survive Season 4?" he said with a laugh to audience gasps and groans.
Another fan tried to trick some information out of the panelists. "What's the first line each of your characters say in Season 4?" After some muffled whispering between the cast to determine what would and wouldn't be a spoiler, Gatiss — who portrays Sherlock's brother Mycroft — landed on, "Oh Sherlock." Cumberbatch went with, "Yes," and Abbington decided she couldn't answer, but mimed a "come here" hand gesture.
As in years prior, moderator Chris Hardwick ended the panel asking for some key words about the season. Moffat noted they would change the rules and give some key names instead. Gatiss went with "Thatcher," Moffat landed on "Smith," and producer Sue Vertue shared, "Sherrinford."
Get to work, internet sleuths.

Weird, obscure metrics are fun… at least for me. And my latest favorite weird, obscure metric is a nonprofit’s dependency quotient, because 1) it’s something I’d never heard of until recently and 2) it’s an immensely helpful piece of data to have at your fingertips.
What the heck is a dependency quotient?
Your dependency quotient measures how much you rely on your top donors. It doesn’t sound that cool, but it’s an interesting metric! It helps you identify if you depend too heavily on your biggest donors, which is a great indicator of fundraising effectiveness and overall financial health.
How do I find my dependency quotient?
This is an easy calculation! Find the total amount your top 3-5 fundraisers donate, then divide it by your organization’s total expenditures.
So, if my organization’s top 4 donors give ~$350,000 annually and my expenditures are ~$1 million annually, my dependency quotient is 35%.
Why do I need to understand my dependency quotient?
Understanding your dependency quotient is so useful! It’ll help you plan expenditures, understand strengths and weaknesses, prioritize fundraising efforts, and more.
We would also, of course, spend time reinforcing our relationships with our major donors.
We’ve already established that my organization’s dependency quotient is 35%. If my top 4 donors stop giving, my nonprofit will have to make up 35% of our budget. That’s a lot! With that dependency quotient, I’d focus our efforts on diversifying our donor base. We’d look into attracting more donors, upgrading existing donors, and building a base of recurring donors. We would also, of course, spend time reinforcing our relationships with our major donors. The goal of all of this would be to drive down our dependency quotient. The higher the dependency quotient, the more heavily you rely on your major donors… and the harder you’ll have to work to make up for lost revenue if you lose them.
Once you understand your dependency quotient, you’ll have a good idea of how to proceed.
Do you have a high dependency quotient?
It’s time to start diversifying! The #1 way to do that is to attract new donors and solidify relationships with new ones. But, to do that, you need to understand what motivates them to be involved with you at all! Here are some helpful strategies you can use to get a grasp on what messages resonate with both future and existing donors.
Do you have a low dependency quotient?
Good for you! This means you aren’t relying too heavily on your major donors and have a varied, active donor base. You’ve also got plenty of room to build relationships with existing major donors or cultivate new ones. This blog article breaks down how to find new potential major donors and cultivate relationships with existing ones.
Do you want to build better relationships with your major donors?
Regardless of your dependency quotient, you’ll always want to stay close to your major donors and work on finding new ones. But you needn’t do so alone! Believe it or not, your board members may be a huge, untapped asset in the major gifts fundraising process. Take a peek at this article to figure out why.
Do you want to focus on improving your overall fundraising?
High dependency quotient or not, it’s always a good idea to focus on improving and streamlining your fundraising. Retaining donors is financially more efficient than finding new ones, and long-engaged donors are much more likely to become major donors in the future. If you’re interested in learning more about donor retention, sign up for this email series we put together about donor retention methods and strategies.
It’s very valuable to focus on metrics like donor retention, the amount you spend on fundraising efforts vs. what you bring in, and other important data points (like these 8 stats you should definitely track). But your dependency quotient is an important number to know! Understanding your dependency quotient will guide you as you decide how to target your fundraising efforts and build relationships with your donors.

Clyde, a professor at the University of Louisville, and Hicks, a teacher at Crestwood Elementary in Oldham County Kentucky, launched an inquiry project with Hicks's 5th graders, starting with the question "How has Oldham County changed over time?" Students quickly brainstormed generative questions and began researching them through online searches, books, interviews, data analysis, and field trips. They were so drawn into the inquiry process that for three months the class lived and breathed investigation of Oldham County. Content and skills required by Kentucky's learning standards were woven into the ongoing exploration. A puzzle about an historic black church led three learners, especially, to take unusual initiative. Students presented their research and their views on inquiry to the school board; they also created two online books and a podcast showcasing their work.
Loken, director of curriculum at the Hsinchu International School in Hsinchu, Taiwan, describes the organizing strategy he has used for years to redesign instruction, curriculum, and assessment in his classes. Loken designed his Algebra 1 class to include three overall "expeditions," similar to units, each one focused on a core concept. Expeditions give his students more independence as learners and, through continual formative assessment, more control over improving their own mastery of key benchmarks. Loken shows how he plans the key ideas and standards that will be covered in each expedition (using the backward design process developed by Grant Wiggins), creates formative assessments that students take at their own pace, and guides students in planning how they will carry out their learning and monitor their progress.
Evanston Township High School in Evanston, Illinois, has developed a Senior Studies class that brings the community into the classroom and the classroom into the community. Each year, 65 12th-grade students and three teachers meet for the last three periods of the day in an interdisciplinary elective that combines English, history, and service learning. Students learn about the local community, engage in community service, and design and implement independent projects that involve career exploration, creative expression, academic research, or service learning. The authors, who teach the course, describe how Senior Studies prepares students for life.
To prepare students to be 21st-century problem solvers, we need to teach them how to use cognitive tools that fall into two categories: creative thinking and critical thinking. Creative thinking involves generating many unusual, original, and varied possibilities; critical thinking involves examining possibilities carefully, fairly, and constructively. This article describes how students can learn to use such cognitive tools as brainstorming, attribute listing, and sequencing within a systematic Creative Problem Solving framework.
Most teachers ask questions that require students to merely recall knowledge or information rather than use higher-order thinking skills. Teachers can become better verbal questioners by familiarizing themselves with both question taxonomies and question sequences and patterns. Question taxonomies—such as Bloom's Taxonomy, the Revised Taxonomy, and Gallagher and Ascher's hierarchical taxonomy—classify questions on the basis of the mental activity required to formulate an answer. Questioning sequences and patterns (such as "lifting and extending" and "narrow to broad"), in which each question builds on the answer to the previous question, help students develop connected understandings. Teachers can hone their expertise by asking students questions in a predetermined sequence, observing and evaluating a peer's questioning techniques, and being observed and evaluated.
Zwiers maintains that to produce the kind of abstract thinking—and conventional expression of that thinking—required in school, students need to enhance their skills in cognitive language. Cognitive language is the kind of language that teachers, authors, and test designers use naturally, but that doesn't come naturally to many learners. Teachers need to become "language watchers," identifying the thinking skills and cognitive terms associated with various disciplines. Zwiers gives examples of strategies his colleagues at a west coast middle school have used to help students recognize and become facile with three features of cognitive language: (1) figurative expressions, (2) complex sentences, and (3) organizing structures. He describes successful classroom tactics to make academic language understandable and push students to use it themselves.
Each summer, teachers at Westminster Christian Academy take a group of students on a 12-day trip into the wilderness, where they camp, hike, bike, kayak, and study a rigorous curriculum of philosophy, history, science, literature, and ethics. Students read, discuss, and write about historical and environmental issues in locations where these issues come to life. Their written reflections, included with the article, reveal that they are engaging in deep thinking and contemplating how to apply what they are learning to their own lives. Heyse, one of the teachers who leads the group, shares her experiences and offers tips for educators considering offering a similar experience.
Career and technical education (CTE) is often sidelined in high schools because people believe that it does not prepare students for college, that it forces students into a lower "track," and that it is primarily a refuge for students with behavior problems who might otherwise drop out. Research, however, has shown that students frequently enroll in CTE courses in order to prepare for college. CTE offers opportunities for hands-on learning that many students need but rarely find in traditional academic programs. The real-world learning and flexibility inherent in good CTE programs can give struggling students opportunities to succeed and prevent them from dropping out. Peters cites several characteristics of CTE programs that make them successful and offers suggestions for what educators can do to maximize the benefits of CTE in their schools.

Giving at Ashland is something we do together. It is one more way that God reminds us that the Christian life is not one lived in isolation from others, but rather lived in community. And whether you put a check in the offering plate on Sunday morning, use the online giving portal below or text to give, we give together. And we do it together so we can go on mission for Jesus Christ in Oldham County, Lexington, Madison County and to the ends of the earth.
The Operating Fund is our annual operating budget. All undesignated gifts go towards our general budget. This budget is affirmed by the congregation each January.
Our Ends of the Earth fund is vital to support our mission efforts. The first $40,000 given to Ends of the Earth goes to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering of the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. 100% of these funds go directly to missionaries serving around the world. Everything given above our annual goal goes to fund our hands-on church planting and mission efforts, like Madison County, Oldham County and Cordova, Peru.
The Freedom Fund allows us to aggressively eliminate our current Great Commission Center debt in order to be free to strategically give more, do more, and reach more for the sake of the Gospel.
Giving online is easy and secure. Our online giving provider uses the same level of encryption that banks use for online banking. You can rest easy knowing that the highest level of security available is being used to keep your information safe.
Once you click the link below, you will be directed to our online giving partner’s site to set up your account. You do not have to set up an account, but we recommend it. You’ll be able to track your giving and set up recurring tithes.
One final note before you begin the process. You can use credit/debit cards or e-check to give online. If you are planning to use your credit card for tithing, we ask that you not incur debt in order to give to the church. If you are planning on giving from your checking account, we recommend using the e-check/ACH option rather than your debit card (click the check image on the top right). The fees associated with ACH transactions are much lower than debit cards.
We also offer text to give. Text to give uses the same secure system as our online giving platform. In order to use text to give, simply send a text message with the amount you wish to give to 859–951–3530. You will receive a reply with a link to complete a one-time set up.

A man who has been causing problems for people in Heathfield and Uckfield has had a criminal behaviour order (CBO) imposed on him.
On June 25, Jason Wood, 42, unemployed, of no fixed address, was arrested in the skate park in Station Road, Heathfield, after a group of children alerted police to a drunk man lying on the ground shouting abuse.
He was charged with using threatening or abusive words or behaviour or disorderly behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress and bailed to appear at Hastings Magistrates’ Court on July 11.
He pleaded guilty to the offence and was fined £50 with a victim surcharge of £30. The case was adjourned until August 6 for criminal behaviour order proceedings to be heard.
Wood was made the subject of a CBO, with conditions prohibiting him from acting or inciting another to act in an anti-social manner or being drunk or consuming any alcohol in any public place.
If he breaks those conditions he will be committing a criminal offence and may be subject to imprisonment.

North-East Somerset, working with horses and ponies to promote opportunities for therapy and enjoyment for local people with disabilities. Through the commitment of our volunteers we enable disabled riders to improve their health and well being and to gain a sense of achievement. Please see our volunteers’ page on how you can get involved.
We hold sessions in term time on Monday to Saturday (except Wednesday), catering for over 100 riders with ages ranging from preschool to pensioner. Sessions consist of small groups of 4 to 6 riders with helpers leading the horses and/or acting as side helpers. Riding activities include exercises, playing games, having races (usually at the walk!), hacking along a disused railway line and preparing for competitions.
Our riders have a wide range of disabilities including Cerebral Palsy; Learning Difficulties; Head Injuries; Hearing and/or Visually Impaired; Autism and progressive diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis.
A research project carried out by the RDA shows that riding can help by providing therapeutic and recreational advantages to disabled people, and improves their physical status, communication skills, confidence and social integration.
The RDA research study has shown the therapeutic benefits of riding for people with disabilities.
Communication, confidence, enjoyment, relationships, physical changes and horsemanship. In every area evaluated, riders showed a statistically significant improvement.
The Riding for the Disabled Association is a UK Registered Charity. Founded in 1969, it has around 500 Member Groups, similar to Wellow, across the United Kingdom. Wellow is part of the Mid-West region.
Reach therapeutic goals: to improve muscle tone and posture; develop fine and gross motor movement. Co-ordination is improved by using different arm and leg muscles to those used in locomotion and in using the brain to control those muscles.
Achieve their personal ambitions: sit on a horse for the first time and learn new skills, which helps to improve self esteem.
Combat social isolation: meet new people and build relationships; enjoy events and competitions and develop self confidence.
Develop life skills: improve communication; take responsibility and become a team player. The rider is asked to do something different to their normal everyday tasks.
Experience the outdoors: ride in the countryside and learn about rural matters.
Connect with Animals: utilising all the senses through touching, stroking and grooming. Learning gentleness and respect for fellow creatures.
The National RDA Association organises various events annually. See the Mid-west and National RDA websites for more details.

Gossip thrives amid the Mercedes-Benzes, mega mansions, and perfectly manicured hedges in the exclusive town of Rosewood, Pennsylvania. Behind their big Gucci sunglasses, beneath their perfectly pressed Polos, everyone has something to hide, especially high school juniors Spencer, Aria, Emily, and Hanna. Spencer covets her sister's gorgeous new boyfriend. Aria is having an affair with her English teacher. Emily is infatuated with the new girl at school. And Hanna is using some ugly tricks to stay beautiful. Deeper and darker still is a horrible secret the girls have shared since sixth grade-;a secret they thought was safe forever.
Then the girls start receiving threatening messages signed by someone named "A." Could "A" be Alison, the ultra-popular girl who disappeared three years earlier? Alison was their best friend. She knew everything about them. But if Alison isn't "A," who is? And how could anyone else know so much about the bad girls they were and the bad girls they've become? Suddenly, their secrets-;the big ones, the little ones, even the long-buried ones-;no longer seem so secret. Suddenly, nothing is safe in Rosewood.

Preschoolers enjoy learning to count and some children can count quite well. But many get a bit confused when they get to the teens, happily counting, “…thirteen – fourteen – seventeen – twenty-teen!” I always enjoy hearing them practice and learn. Most preschoolers are quite capable of learning some very basic math concepts—not in a formal setting—but a little bit here and there.
One way to help them learn and have fun at the same time is to use objects when counting so that the numbers are not just abstract—but concrete—real.
We use blocks from a Jenga game. We have 20 blocks in a little basket, but right now we are only using 10 blocks most of the time with a 4-½ year-old. We first used the blocks just for counting. Now she is getting familiar with the most simple concepts and vocabulary of math.
We randomly start with any number of blocks, say 5, and then add 2 (or any number that will add up to ten or less). Since she does not know what five plus two is, she then counts them all and tells me how many there are. Then we might add 3 more to make 10. Then I will ask her to take away 1 and count them, take away 3 more and count them, etc. She is getting used to the idea of adding up to 10 and taking away (subtraction) all the way down to zero. This activity never lasts more than a few minutes, and then we put the blocks away and save them for another day.
I make ten or twelve problem on the page and she fills in the blanks. Eventually, we will move from the concrete to the abstract and do the math using only the symbols, since she has already learned that a symbol like“7” represents seven objects. But that will come later, sometime after she turns five. We don’t need to rush it at this age, and right now we are just having fun with math.

Editor’s note: the following text and photo comes from Volvo’s 850 History page. It was translated from Swedish to English by Google Translate service. Remember, this data refers to Swedish market 850s, thus it shows things like production ending in model year 1996.
Less than two years after the introduction of the 850 GLT in the four-door sedan came five-door wagon in February 1993. Design of the 850 sedan showed off a rear part with typical Volvo Profile, ie. an almost vertical tailgate – a handy feature that maximizes space. Volvo 850 GLT received a tumultuous welcome – rarely has a new car received so many awards that 850th Combi version received the prestigious Japan Prize “1994 Good Design Grand Prize.” Over the years, expanded 850-series with more than just a hatchback version. The series includes a wide choice of engines, including turbocharged gasoline engines and direct injection. When Volvo decided to return to motor sport in 1994 it was done in the British Championship BTCC, British Touring Car Championships. The first Volvo that the challenge was a conspicuous Volvo 850 wagon – family car and race car in one. Volvo 850 was also the first car in the world with side airbags, which was introduced in series production in autumn 1994. A spectacular addition to 850/V70-serien was the first-generation four-wheel drive models: AWD (All Wheel Drive) and XC (Cross Country). Model Year 1997, the 850 hatchback of V70.
Measurements: Total length 472 cm, wheelbase 267 cm.

he International Press Institute (IPI)s Turkish National Committee today welcomed the release of one of the defendants in the Oda TV trial and called for the release of other journalists the group said had been jailed because of their work.
News website Bianet reported Wednesday that an Istanbul court ordered the release of journalist and author Doğan Yurdakul, 66, for health reasons.
The journalist is said to suffer from hypertension and problems with his heart and his renal system. He also reportedly developed diabetes and a cyst on one of his kidneys in the 11 months since his detention on Mar. 3, 2011.
Yurdakuls lawyers reportedly told the court that Yurdakul's continued incarceration could cause a further deterioration in his condition that could possibly lead to his death.
Yurdakul was formally arrested on March 6 and until his release this week shared a prison cell at the Silivri Prison west of Istanbul with IPI World Press Freedom Hero Nedim Şener and journalist Ahmet Şık.
The three are part of a group of 10 journalists and others charged with various crimes related to the governments claim that they and nationalist news website Oda TV served as the media wing of the alleged Ergenekon plot. They deny accusations that their role was to use their positions to discredit a probe into the alleged plot by secularists and ultra-nationalists to use terrorism to overthrow the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP)-led government.
Over 100 journalists are currently imprisoned in Turkey, most in pre-trial detention. Most of those detained are alleged to have violated criminal or anti-terrorism laws banning membership or support in armed criminal organisations. Approximately one third of those imprisoned reportedly were taken into custody in connection with the Ergenekon probe, while the others were detained on charges stemming from alleged ties to banned Kurdish and leftist groups.
IPI and its subsidiary, the South and East Europe Media Organisation (SEEMO), have criticised Turkeys treatment of journalists in the past year, including the conditions under which journalists are imprisoned. Suzan Zengin  a human rights activist, journalist and translator who spent two years in pre-trial detention for alleged ties to an illegal Marxist organisation  died last October of an undisclosed ailment, four months after she was released. Critics attributed her death to the governments alleged failure to provide adequate medical care for chronic health problems during her incarceration.

The pomelo tastes like a sweet, mild grapefruit – it has very little or none of the common grapefruit’s bitterness, but the membranes of the segments are bitter and usually discarded. The peel of the pomelo is also used in cooking or candied. The pomelo is a citrus fruit native to South East Asia. It is usually pale green to yellow when ripe, with sweet white (or, more rarely, pink or red) flesh and very thick spongy rind. It is the largest citrus fruit, 15-25 cm in diameter and usually weighing 1-2 kg.
An exotic fruit, found mainly in Asia, used for centuries as a folk medicine is said to cure many modern ailments, and Westerners now have the opportunity to benefit from this so-called super fruit’s powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties which purportedly do everything from reducing cancer risk and warding off cardiovascular disease, to easing arthritis and preventing acne. The fragrant edible flesh can be described as sweet and tangy, citrusy with peach flavor and texture. Fresh loose mangosteen selling per kg.
Jack Fruit is a Thai fruit which has yet to become well known in the western world. Possibly the reason for this is its sheers size, with a mature fruit often being larger than a base ball. A Jack Fruit needs to be cut open, and the hard outer layers of flesh need to striped away. Once this is done, access is gained to the fleshy bulbs which surround the large, chestnut sized seeds. The fleshy part of the bulbs can be eaten raw, or for slightly less ripe Jack Fruit, the flesh can be partly boiled before consumption. The texture of Jack Fruit is similar to that of chicken, and as such it makes a perfect meat substitute for vegetarian recipes. Indeed, jack Fruit has often been called the “Vegetarian Meat” for this very reason.
Jackfruit is commonly used in South and Southeast Asian cuisines. It can be eaten unripe (young) or ripe, cooked or uncooked. It has a mild flavor and distinctive texture. The taste is similar to chestnuts.

Healthy, smooth skin doesn’t happen by chance.
Dermalux LED (Light Emitting Diodes) Light Therapy is a multi-award winning, highly effective non-invasive treatment for many different skin concerns including: ageing, acne, rosacea, eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis and for aiding healing.
It uses light energy to rejuvenate and repair the skin safely with no irritation and no downtime. Fast, safe and pain-free, it produces great results for our patients.
Anyone on Roaccutane (or finished a course less than 6 months ago), St. John's wort.
Smoother, plumper skin. Reduced acne & breakouts. Quicker healing.
Minimises lines, soothes redness & irritation, reduces acne & breakouts and helps skin to heal following treatments.
Best results with a course of treatments. Single treatment after procedures helps skin heal.
Prices start from £60. Please contact the clinic for more information.
IS DERMALUX LED LIGHT THERAPY SAFE?
People often say that their skin feels better immediately after being exposed to sunlight. This is because natural sunlight contains a spectrum of visible and invisible wavelengths, only some of which are harmful (ultraviolet).
Based on this, Dermalux LED Light Therapy uses carefully selected near infrared, red and blue light to deliver the beneficial healing effects, moreover, it stimulates a cellular response, yet avoids the damaging effects of UV rays.
WHAT DOES RED LIGHT TREAT?
Red light has been proven to reduce lines, improve skin tone and texture. It stimulates the fibroblast cells which increase hydration, trigger the production of collagen and elastin, and plump up the skin.
WHAT DOES INFRA-RED LIGHT TREAT?
Infra-red light has similar effects and also soothes redness and irritation. Moreover, it has been clinically proven to accelerate skin healing, therefore it is an excellent therapy to follow other treatments, especially skin peels, laser and injectable treatments.
WHAT DOES BLUE LIGHT TREAT?
Blue light helps to destroy acne bacteria. It does this by converting porphyrins, which occur naturally in the acne bacteria, into a state that is harmful to them, and kills them.
Blue light also helps to normalize oil production, which reduces active acne and helps to prevent future break-outs.
Many people see immediate results after just one treatment. However, we generally recommend to have a course of six Dermalux treatments to see maximum benefits.
For more information on Dermalux light therapy or to book your appointment at our award-winning clinic, please contact us, we look forward to welcoming you at our clinic.
WHAT DOES DERMALUX LED LIGHT THERAPY TREAT?
Firms and plumps the skin.
Helps the skin to heal faster when used in conjunction with other treatments.

I’m going to write a longer response in a bit. I’ve got it mostly written, but a quick few things first (you know it’s not like me to be quick about things!).
“So by The Book of Doug, I’m a sinner…” I appreciate the use of hyperbole, particularly before I get started on my National Novel Writing Month joint, but I just want to clear up that it’s inaccurate. I use plenty of proprietary software. My beef was with the session, not with you using proprietary software.
I was not suggesting BarCamp was in the wrong with the Microsoft session. I just don’t like them. BarCamp is not a libre software event and within its rights to have Microsoft involved. I don’t have to like it. Trust me, I’m as frustrated as you with Red Hat’s lack of interest in Madison/Milwaukee.
My initial complaint was simply I didn’t think the session provided much value and might even hurt libre software. It wasn’t an attack on you or Gabe or BarCamp in general. I just thought it had a good chance of turning people away from libre software. I also thought that the time would be better spent fixing the problems we all three (you, Gabe and I) all know exist. Even though I am going to respond more in full since I think it’s good for us to get on the same page even if we disagree, I do think we could all be coding (or designing, I’ve heard complaints about the Fedora artwork…though I’ve also heard people defend it too), so I’m going to leave it at that. I’ll see you next week.

Art garnered from the diocese of Barcelona has been pensioned off to the left of the cathedral in the Pia Almoina, the headquarters of one of Europe’s oldest charitable foundations, founded in 1009. The current building, incorporating part of a Roman tower and its prophylactic head of Medusa, dates from 1423, and has been restored to house this excellent but often overlooked museum.
Among the treasures are the striking Sienese-inspired Taula de Sant Jaume, by Arnau and Ferrer Bassa; a beautiful letter from the 'royal bureaucrat' Philip II, in Latin; a reliquary of Sant Cugat (1312); a tormented Crucifixion from the 13th century; and Romanesque frescoes of the Apocalypse from the apse of Sant Salvador de Polinyà (1122), a harrowing precursor of Picasso’s Guernica and a preview of the treasures in the Palau Nacional.
The Custodia de Santa Maria del Pi (1587) by Llàtzer de la Castanya is a masterpiece of the goldsmith’s art, and there are retables by Bernat Martorell and the Portuguese Pere Nunyes. A startling 15th-century anonymous retable of Sant Bartolomeo is a candidate for the goriest in Barcelona (although it has plenty of competition); here the saint, peeled of his skin, goes right on talking until his indignant persecutors lop off his head.
A new exhibition put on by Gaudí BCN Projects, 'Walking with Gaudí' includes documents and objects relating to the architect, along with augmented reality displays, video, multimedia displays and holograms and all the latest research into the man, his inspiration and his revolutionary methods.

Leading telecommunications company, Glo and other key stakeholders in Nigeria’s ICT ecosystem have indicated their desire to support the Nigerian Women Digital Agenda Summit organised by the Centre for Cyber Awareness and Development (CECAD). The summit holds today in Lagos.
Others that would be part of the summit themed, “Harnessing the Opportunities in the 21st Century,” include the chief executive officers of leading technology companies and technology experts from across Nigeria.
Other partners are the Association of Licensed Operators of Nigeria (ALTON), Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Medallion Communications Limited, National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) and Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NIRA).
The event was designed to highlight the huge opportunities available to women in the 21st century, accelerate progress and identify Nigerian women across board that have been able to maximise the tremendous opportunities offered by the digital age to better their communities, career and the country at large. It is expected to bring together over 700 women and girls from different walks of life to share strategies and map out the future of the Nigerian woman in a digital age.
Announcing its decision to be official sponsor of the event, Globacom Nigeria said that it believes that technology has great role to play in the economic empowerment of the Nigerian woman.
Globacom has been at the cutting-edge of innovation, introducing most of the novel products and services that have shaped the growth of the telecommunications industry in Nigeria in the last 15 years. The company was the first to launch 4G LTE network in 33 cities across the country in 2016. It recently scored another first by introducing the novel concept of creating a dedicated path in its 4G LTE network for enterprise customers.
According to the Executive Director of CECAD, Dr. Bayero Agabi, the 21st century is a period of tremendous information explosion, where science, technology and innovation are no longer treated as stand-alone but have become integral parts of human existence transforming lives and businesses.


text: Abstract: We propose a new approach for the radial basis function (RBF) interpolation of large scattered data sets. It uses the space subdivision technique into independent cells allowing processing of large data sets with low memory requirements and offering high computation speed, together with the possibility of parallel processing as each cell can be processed independently. The proposed RBF interpolation was tested on both synthetic and real data sets. It proved its simplicity, robustness and the ability to handle large data sets together with significant speed-up. In the case of parallel processing, speed-up was experimentally proved when 2 and 4 threads were used.


text: AS Fullerian Professor of Physiology, Dr. Waller has published a series of lectures on the electrical properties of nerve, in which he tells us that his aim has been to give “an exposition of the principal data” relating to the subject. Such of these data as have been derived from his own experiments have been already made known by him in his published papers; but the physiological reader will find it much easier to appreciate their value, now that they are placed before him in connection with facts already known to him. A point of great scientific interest in Dr. Waller's work consists in the circumstance that he has adopted and strictly adhered to a uniform method of “testing” the physiological conditions of a nerve. The gratitude of the reader is further excited by the perspicuity with which the method itself and the first fruits of its application are described, as well as by a vividness of style which makes him feel as if he had been present at the demonstrations.

Forgiveness is a basic and much used term in most Christian circles. In fact, it can be used so much, and have so many different layers put upon it, that it can sometimes be difficult to see exactly what forgiveness is, and what we have been forgiven from!
– I have been forgiven from all the wrong things I have ever done, but I need to keep asking for forgiveness when I still do wrong things.
– I have been offered forgiveness, but I am only forgiven if i follow the 4 steps necessary for forgiveness. I must believe in the sacrifice of Jesus for my sins. I must forgive everyone else. I must confess my sins daily ( or weekly) and I must repent and change my ways.
– I have been forgiven from all my sins, past, present and future!
– I know I’ve been forgiven, but I still feel guilty about the things I do wrong.
There are many ways to view this thing called forgiveness, and it can be very difficult to see right through it clearly, because it involves the very nature of Father. It comes right out of his nature and is part of who he is.
Those of us who still feel guilty, have possibly not fully come to know Father and who he really is yet!
Those who only feel forgiven if they first forgive others, and have to confess each sin and ‘repent’ if the sin, have possibly not comprehended the grace Father offers!
Those who say they are forgiven of everything, so they can live however they like despite how it impacts others, ( So this is from a self centered view of the world ) perhaps haven’t realized that what happened when they were saved was that they have entered into a relationship.
To answer this we need to step back and see the whole picture. Father made us in order to draw us into a loving adult friendship. The sort of relationship which a parent would like to have with their adult children. Mutual respect, love and acceptance.
So this is what he offers at the cross, and when we accept Jesus as our savior, or be baptized or accept salvation, however it happened for you, we are entering into a loving relationship with Father. This is the sort of relationship which will grow and blossom and deepen over time.
So in order to understand Fathers forgiveness, we need to keep in mind where he is coming from, and where we are going.
Any healthy, well adjusted parent will understand, that there is nothing their child can do, which will stop you from loving them. Sure, sometimes they make you angry or frustrated, but you never stop loving them. You brought them into the world, and all you really want is the best for them, and to be able stay in a healthy and open relationship with them, as they grow up and leave home.
So what is forgiveness in this context? How does the parent show it? What part does it play in the relationship?
Unless we understand this, we will miss the power and amazing beauty of Fathers forgiveness.
A parent will forgive any action or attitude of their child, in the sense that they will still love them regardless. There may well be boundaries or limits placed for a while, depending on the age of the child, but these are only ever done in love, for the best outcome for the relationship and the child.
So forgiveness in a parent / child relationship, is still loving your child and wanting the best for them, despite anything!
So this is Fathers forgiveness! He will love us and want the best for us despite anything we can do!
If we believe this, then our relationship with Father will grow!

So I was told when I got into University in Sweden, about 26 months ago, that I could never study full time. This was from a person whose job was to help me find a job and support me. I was so angry when I left that person office and I told my self that I should not listen to what had been said. That I am so much stronger then people believe.
Never listen to the negative people around you. Go after your dreams. You can do it! I believe in you!

Ever since the release of this new album, I have been receiving e-mail from friends about how the new Klezmatics album seems less "on the edge" than previous efforts. Such letters always conclude: "but I seem to be listening to it nonstop."
I do think that this new album is less raucous than Jews with Horns. Instead, I think that in many ways this album is deeper than previous efforts. There is more here to engage the listener past the first few listens (not that I've finished listening to Jews with Horns). "Moroccan Game" is no less experimental than songs that have come before. Many parts of the 'Dybbuk' suite (from the play by Tony "Angels in America" Kushner) push boundaries both in terms of the music, and in terms of the language. But the Klezmatics and others have extended the language of modern klezmer far enough that now they can safely, and most naturally, go deeper.
One way in which this album feels different is that it is more traditionally accessible. Despite the occasional jarring note (I love "Mizmor shir le-hanef (The Reefer Song)" musically, but I have a lot of trouble with songs that sanctify the use of drugs or alcohol*. What next? "Shir ha-alcohol?" Oops. That's the encore.), the album broadens the sense of what klezmer is. Sometimes that broadening is as simple as the English lyrics in "Fradde's Song" (it's bad enough that they're calling it klezmer and sing, but in English?--yes! English!) in an otherwise Yiddish context. There is also a reclamation of Biblical poetry, done not in modern Israeli style, but in a manner that feels, well, klez-ish in Sklamberg's adaptation of words from 'Song of Songs. Now it is as if there is a place, "virtual klez-land" with its own customs and accents and way of looking at both music (a dimension that embraces all musics, Jewish and non-Jewish, and which sees klezmer as a part of world music soup, originating from Jews, perhaps, but now playable and popular everywhere) and language and experience (a dimension sensitive to Jewish-specific experience, and, in the case of Svigals' "An undoing world", not klezmer at all, but of the specific American Jewish experience that informs much of what drives these particular, mostly Jewish musicians, to play this music in this time).
Whew. So, like I said, deeper. There's a lot here.
But as much as people, like myself, listen to klezmer in part because it touches on that mysterious sense of who we are as people of Jewish extraction in America, that isn't what keeps people listening to an album. For that, and for an album to still be thought of as a klezmer album, it has to move the body, bring you up to dance, cause the mind to do a few shers while the music plays in the background, maybe a mental freylekh or two, and on that level, the album is simply wonderful. You didn't need a whole review to tell you that. And, just to drive home how connected, and how interwoven all of this is, we have the selection of a cut by master klezmer (and all musics) cymbalomist Joseph Moscowitz as the intro to Dariau's 1997 all-purpose New York klezmer dance number, "Sirba Matey Matey". It's just Jewish soul music. In this case, it's damn fine Jewish soul music.
I'm dancing too hard to say this more succinctly. Go to the store. Purchase a copy of "Possessed." Put it on the turntable. Don't forget to eat or sleep occasionally. Enjoy.

By now, lots of people know that Fortnite for Android won't be available on the Play Store. Not everyone is aware of Epic Games' decision to offer Fortnite directly to Android users, though, and so Google is working to make sure that users don't download fakes.
When you search for Fortnite on the Play Store, Google displays a message that says " Fortnite Battle Royale by Epic Games, Inc is not available on Google Play". The search also turns up another Epic game, Battle Breakers , as well as recommendations for PUBG Mobile and Creative Destruction .
Fortnite for Android is the final piece of the puzzle that started out in September of last year with the release of the Fortnite Battle Royale mode on consoles, PC and Mac. Since then, the game got a release on iOS earlier this year in April and couple of months ago on Nintendo Switch.
The Android version of the game is understandably very late when compared to other platforms. Or perhaps, not so late if the objective here was to rejuvenate interest in the game and start the hype cycle all over again.

Compliance is a relatively new profession that has become increasingly defined, empowered, and impactful in the past two decades. Within the compliance team, our main goal is to grow BitPay soundly, in terms of compliance, strategically, financially and reputationally. In order to do this, we have built a strong risk and compliance framework that tackles the main risks our business is facing. By making use of new technologies such as machine learning and integrating innovative third-party compliance tools, we stay "in-control" and are flexible enough to deal with new emerging risks in a fast-changing environment.
The amount of money generated by criminal activity is staggering and that money is used to fund even more crimes. For specific details, Alastair Gray's TED talk explains the connection between fake goods and terrorist financing & money laundering: Therefore, AML compliance is much more than just a regulatory obligation for BitPay. It's also an ethical and moral obligation along with being simply a sustainable business practice.

Sourcing professionals often understand that e-sourcing can bring many advantages such as ease of engaging with suppliers and real-time reverse auctions. But they may not know how easy it can be to get started. Previous generation sourcing tools were complicated and difficult to run, requiring specialized skills. Many service providers make their business in providing sourcing expertise and the toolset for sourcing complex commodities.
Getting started with sourcing can actually be very quick and easy with certain categories. Coupa’s Sourcing QuickStart Program can help you get started.
With QuickStart, you run a single Sourcing event and award business within 30 days. It’s that quick to get started with e-sourcing.
The first step for the company is a high level spend analysis to identify the potential categories. The company also identifies its current suppliers in the particular spend category for this Sourcing event.
Coupa prepares the software for use and creates the RFX questions and line items. It uploads attachments for the bidders and runs a test event. Then the production event is launched.
Once the event is launched, both parties focus on interacting with bidders. The company answers questions about the products being sourced, while Coupa answers questions about how the Sourcing system functions.
After the event closes, the company grades the bidders’ responses, analyzes the results, and makes the award. Experience with the Sourcing Quickstart process in multiple companies shows that it’s realistic to accomplish this in the fourth week of the process.
The candidate is a well-defined commodity on which the company’s annual spend exceeds 200K.
The commodity has not been sourced for at least 1 year.
The company has at least 3 approved suppliers of this commodity.
Data show that there is a healthy buyer’s market for this category. Good typical low-hanging fruit includes office supplies, IT hardware, and cleaning services.
If you'd like to learn more about the Coupa Sourcing Quickstart Program, shoot us an email at SourcingQuickStart@coupa.com.

Process customer support tickets more efficiently and collect more actionable data on customer queries with new custom fields in Teamwork Desk!
Custom fields bring your team one step closer to a first-contact resolution, making for an enhanced customer experience and improved employee performance.
When submitting a request through the Teamwork Desk embeddable contact form, customer portal, or support site, the ticket forms generally consist of standard required information such as Name, Email Address, Description, Priority, etc.
Here’s where custom fields come in! Using this new feature, you can add new fields to collect customer information unique to your business requirements.
Check out this video for a full rundown of how custom fields work.
Take a look at this article on custom fields from our Help Docs site to help you get started.
Custom fields can greatly enhance the support you offer your clients. Making your customer-facing teams more efficient ultimately makes your team and your customers even happier.
Custom fields are available to users on the Pro and Enterprise plans, so start putting them to work today!
If you’re using custom fields, we would love to hear your feedback. Just leave us a comment below.
As always, if you need help getting set up, our friendly customer support team are available to give you a hand.
hello, can i create a custom field and then report on that? For my custom field, I would like to see # of tickets, avg first response time, avg resolution time total amount of time spent on those tickets.
Thanks for reading our blog on custom fields!
We are currently working on the reporting for custom fields, this should be ready in the near future!
Great that the custom fields appear on the new ticket page for our agents – just what we need.
I think an option to ‘feature’ specific custom fields below the reply/note body section would also be helpful – to increase their visibility to our agents and encourage completion.
I presume the field values are included in search results. It would also be useful to filter reports based on the custom field values.
Finally, have you thought about enabling other existing fields to be set as required (e.g. customer phone number)? Currently if you add a new ticket with ‘Phone’ as the source it doesn’t prompt for the customers phone number which is a bit of an oversight. We might now add a custom field for phone number to work around this.
In relation to filtering reports based on custom field values, improved reporting is something that we are currently working on and will be releasing a little further down the line. Keep an eye on our roadmap for further updates https://www.teamworkdesk.com/roadmap.
In the embeddable widget, could I insert strings from the enclosing web site into the widget’s fields, to autopopulate some value? For example, my enclosing site has variables with the user’s name, it would be great if those could be inserted into the form automatically.
Thank you for adding this feature to Desk. Is there a way to use custom fields so customers can select a priority via a website form?
I’ve set up a custom form and had to put the priority in the subject line.
Next up: Custom fields in TW projects would be outstanding!
Thanks for reading the blog! We’d love to hear more about how you’d like to use custom fields within Teamwork Projects. Can you please send more detail about the areas you’d like to see this feature in Teamwork Projects and how it would improve your workflow to support@teamwork.com.
Thank you for providing your use case on custom fields in Teamwork Projects. I’ll pass this information on to our product team.
You now have fields for the creator of a task, and also the one supposed to do the task. But we could really use an additional field specifying a process owner or product owner who acts as spoc about certain tasks.
Looks like a neat feature. Will you be able use triggers on custom fields?
Triggers are not currently supported with custom fields, however we would love to hear more about the type of triggers you would like to create. Can you please send this info to desk@teamwork.com and we will be sure to log it with the product team.
Triggers would be like webhooks, not?
They have some similarities. It depends what you’re trying to do with them? If you need any help just drop us an email to desk@teamwork.com.
Custom fields is a great feature but unfortunately I do not see the custom field availability in Canned Response creation or in Triggers. So, ultimately it merely more info storage per ticket. Also, is there any plans of creating custom field for Customer Object?
Thanks for this feature. But we are still waiting for a translated german version of the customer portal. Any chance for that?
I agree with Ryan that we are waiting for custom fields in Teamwork Projects.
Our use case is that for each project we have a number of hours available per month. We can track the time on each project fine, but we’ve had to build a system using the API to report on how many hours we have tracked vs the time available for each project which stores the project times in a separate database, and join the two together.
We need a custom field in the project object which can store an integer for the number of hours (or minutes) available for the project.
Thanks for getting in touch and providing the use case, this is really helpful for us to process the feature request.
I will pass your request on to our product team for consideration.
Hours etc. Using custom fields at these levels as well as at project level would start to let us manage resources properly although it wouldn’t account for the lack of integration between calendar for holidays and the reporting of time and available resource completely.
I have passed this on to our product team for consideration.
Are custom fields available to be used in the API?
Yes, custom fields are available to use through the API. I emailed you the documentation to help you get set up!
Being able to understand how much time is being spent on specific types of issues, tracked in custom fields, would be of fundamental importance. Is this something that is coming up in your improved reporting?
Thanks for getting in touch! Being able to filter and report on custom fields is something we will be adding in the future. However, I cannot give an exact release date for this feature.
