The Great Divide: The differences are great, but can traditional universities...Robyn D. Shulman, M.Ed.
Senator Tom Harkin has launched another attack on the for-profit career college sector through new legislation called the Students First Act. The legislation aims to crack down on "bad actors" throughout higher education, but critics argue it is really an attempt to increase regulatory pressure specifically on career colleges. While protecting students from predatory practices sounds good in principle, the act threatens to be more damaging than previous regulations like the gainful employment rule. The underlying goal may have less to do with students and more to do with the aims of legislators who are skeptical of for-profit institutions.

- Researchers need to take an inward look at what the "right things" are to research and consider being boundary spanners to bridge different BPMN communities.
- Examples of potential research directions are provided such as exploring unknown future uses of BPMN, required extensions to

Flour additives serve many purposes, from improving flour’s appearance and the dough’s workability to giving flour a longer shelf life. These benefits mean that people have access to more varieties of food and safe foods are available to more people. These additives are not designed primarily to improve the health of consumers, however; that is the role of vitamins and minerals added to flour in the fortification process.

GET A LIFE NOT JUST A JOB: Joyce Schwarz, JCOMJoyce Schwarz
William James said to change your life immediately and dramatically. When planning a career, consider how it fits with the rest of your life, such as where you live and how you spend free time. This career planning should also involve life planning by thinking about the type of life you want. A career counselor asks clients about their desired lifestyle before discussing career options, because work should complement an enjoyable life rather than define it. Society often expects people to work at jobs they dislike most hours in order to have little free time for preferred activities.

Scrum is simple to explain, yet hard to implement. Often the mechanics are executed without adoption of the underlying principles and values. This happens often where management assumes that Scrum is “just for software development” and that nothing else needs changing. In such situations, Scrum roles, artifacts and events are understood in terms of the prevailing traditional mindset:
- backlog as a specification
- sprint as a small project
- ScrumMaster as project manager
- commitment as a fixed date & scope contract
While such an implementation of Scrum might deliver predictable results and lead to some improvements, it often fails to transform the organisational mindset and culture. Your business might do the wrong things righter instead of delivering better and better products to delight your customers. To achieve a transformation of mindset and culture, an organisation needs to avoid the pitfalls mentioned above and adopt Scrum as a framework that inspires everyone to continually challenge the status quo. One way to achieve this is using Scrum sprints as risk-limiting containers for safe-to-fail experiments. This enables you to deliberately discover the potential of your people's capability and your products' value. Reviews and retrospectives need to be leveraged to drive this continuous improvement process. The talk will increase awareness of these types of Scrum and help you to rather “be agile” instead of just “do agile”—using Scrum to drive that transformation.

Winning & Losing By Design: Web & Mobile App Design To Make Or Break Your Bus...Fresh Tilled Soil
This document discusses how website and mobile app design can influence business success or failure by appealing to users' emotions.

Application Lifecycle Management and Agile, friends... or foes? (Andrea Toma...Andrea Tomasini
The whole idea of ALM stems from the need to manage in an integrated manner the relationship between business processes and engineering processes. Attempting to integrate practices, information and tools for disciplines such as Requirement Engineering, Project Management, Configuration Management has long been a driver, with the important goal of achieving more transparency, and also more control. Centralization of information into a single authoritative repository moved many original ALM initiatives, but how does that fit with more modern Agile approaches?

The report identifies a major opportunity for India to provide remote professional services to developed countries facing workforce shortages over the next two decades. It estimates that remote services alone could add $133-315 billion in annual revenue and 10-24 million jobs for India by 2020. To capitalize on this opportunity, the report recommends aligning key stakeholders around a common goal and taking actions to boost both the demand for and supply of India's services. It aims to stimulate implementation by involving stakeholders in developing plans, rather than just providing recommendations. This differentiated approach aims to generate commitment rather than just compliance to enable India to realize the significant economic and employment benefits of the identified opportunity.
The report identifies an opportunity for India to capture 40 million new jobs and $200 billion in annual revenue by 2020 by capitalizing on its young workforce. It notes that developed countries will face a shortage of skilled professionals to fuel their growth, and they will look to developing countries like India to fill this need. However, uncertainties like infrastructure bottlenecks and a mismatch between education and job requirements could hamper India's ability to seize this opportunity. The report outlines an agenda for action that includes marketing India's strengths, improving education and training, boosting connectivity, and undertaking sector-specific initiatives to ensure India can supply the skilled workers to drive increased global growth.
