Fuzzy net works using a multidimensional view of data have become very popular in both business and science in recent years. Fuzzy net works for fuzzy purposes such as medicine and bio-chemistry1 pose several great challenges to existing fuzzy net work technology. Fuzzy net works usually use pre-aggregated data to ensure fast query response. However, pre-aggregation cannot be used in practice if the dimension structures or the relationships between facts and dimensions are irregular. A technique for overcoming this limitation and some experimental results are presented. Queries over fuzzy fuzzy net works often need to reference data that is external to the fuzzy net work, e.g., data that is too complex to be handled by current fuzzy net work technology, data that is â€owned†by other organizations, or data that is updated frequently. This paper presents a federation architecture that allows the integration of multidimensional warehouse data with complex external data.

The document discusses Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Schemes (QROPS) which allow UK pension funds to be transferred overseas. QROPS were introduced in 2006 and are beneficial for UK expats retiring abroad and non-UK nationals with UK pension funds. Key benefits include mitigating UK tax on death and increased flexibility, but a full analysis is required as QROPS are not suitable for everyone. Malta is highlighted as a popular QROPS jurisdiction due to its regulation, extensive tax treaty network, and favorable tax treatment of income payments. A face-to-face consultation with a financial advisor is recommended to fully understand the implications of a potential pension transfer.

Kickstart your Product Backlog with Innovation GamesFrederic Vandaele
How to start your Scrum project? How to initialize your product backlog? You are not alone, in most agile projects, managing the product backlog remains a complex and difficult activity.
Scrum said that it's the Product Owner that manage the product backlog but it does not tell us how (It's a framework you know). However, the product owners are people from the business. They have little or no experience with Agile and what it means in term of contribution to the project.
How to involve a group of users in the creation of product backlog without that they feel cheated or ignored? How to prioritize dozens or even hundreds of user stories of varying sizes with a group of users representing different needs with conflicting interests?
The Innovation Games are techniques that can address these issues. The art is to combine these methods with a view to a common vision to emerge as an initial product backlog that will help the Scrum team to start the project on a solid foundation.

Last Wednesday I delivered a speech titled “Success” to an enthusiastic group at the Centre of Education and Training in Brampton, Ontario. I opened my speech with the following quote:
“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” ― Eleanor Roosevelt
And then I said success belongs to those:
a. with a clear vision and specific goals
b. willing to lose fear, willing take action and have a fierce desire and determination to succeed
c. who foster positive and meaningful relationships
Today I have decided to share with you a bit of my speech.
The document outlines three key lessons that form the foundation for success: be humble, be a good listener, and admit mistakes but be willing to take action and make yourself vulnerable. It discusses the importance of humility in allowing others to share knowledge. It also emphasizes the value of listening to understand different views and gain new knowledge without being judgmental. Finally, it recommends acknowledging mistakes as learning opportunities but also taking risks to pursue dreams through open communication and a willingness to be scrutinized.

Famous figures like Mahatma Gandhi recognized silence as both a physical and spiritual necessity that allows for communion. Overall, the document encourages cherishing and exploring silence.

The key is having discipline, vision, motivation, and refusing to give up when faced with resistance.
Today I share with you my experiences of simple acts of kindness last Friday. I believe that through simple acts of kindness we are able to remain hopeful in humanity during period of despair and sadness.
Initial Thoughts on Regulation for Bitcoin and Virtual CurrenciesMark McKenzie, RHB
Initial thoughts on regulating Bitcoin and virtual currencies are discussed. Regulation aims to promote fair, efficient markets and protect customers. Lessons can be drawn from mobile and internet banking regulations. Potential regulations discussed include registration/licensing requirements, capital requirements, governance standards, and anti-money laundering compliance. Regulations should balance mitigating risks while allowing innovation, and ensure technological progress is not hindered.
Mark McKenzie discusses reinventing yourself through 5 steps: 1) Reflect on changes you want to make and create a vision, 2) Create a plan with goals and tasks, 3) Share your plans with others for support, 4) Visit your vision daily for motivation, 5) Stay motivated by surrounding yourself with reminders of your goals. He shares his personal experience raising awareness for homelessness and encourages readers to reflect on how they can reinvent themselves.
This document summarizes recent global regulatory developments related to bitcoin and virtual currencies. It discusses regulatory actions and perspectives from the US, Canada, Russia, India, and China. In the US, New York plans to issue a "BitLicense" for virtual currency businesses. Canada has taken a generally hands-off approach but its anti-money laundering agency FINTRAC is now considering regulations. Russia and India have issued warnings about virtual currencies while China has banned their use by banks and merchants. Overall regulatory approaches to bitcoin are still developing worldwide as these new technologies emerge.
This document discusses the recent disruption in the bitcoin market due to transaction malleability issues at major bitcoin exchanges Mt. Gox and Bitstamp. It explains that transaction malleability refers to an inherent flaw in the bitcoin protocol that allows the transaction ID of a bitcoin transfer to be altered, causing problems for exchanges trying to keep track of withdrawals and deposits. While Mt. Gox blamed transaction malleability for suspending withdrawals, core bitcoin developers said the real issue was how Mt. Gox handled transaction IDs and customer support. The document concludes that regulation of bitcoin and virtual currencies is inevitable as these emerging technologies are exploited.
To day I share my thoughts on great expectations. In this blog I share a little twist of fate on how agreeing to do a presentation on Bitcoin for one of our Top Banks may blossom into much more than I expected. Great expectations for achieving your dreams is about the power of believing in yourself. It is about walking away from naysayers and not allowing your fears to stop you.
Today I used my blog post on McKenzie's Voice to launch a campaign to help the homeless and hungry as I share my thoughts on five key attributes of effective and extraordinary leaders. My goal is to raise $2,000 for Regeneration’s Coldest Night of the Year Campaign by February 22, 2014. Commencing today, Monday, February 3, 2014 I will walk 2K daily, 5K on Saturday and Sundays and on February 22, 2014 I will walk and run 10K. However, I want to do a little more to test the attributes of effective and extraordinary leadership. To this end, I am committing to spend the entire night of February 22, 2014 outdoors in the cold in solidarity with the homeless.
The document provides 5 tips for facing challenges in 2014:
1. Change negative situations into positive opportunities by pursuing new areas of interest and talents.
2. Rather than being in denial, accept challenges and let go of the past in order to move forward.
3. Surround yourself with a supportive network of honest friends and family.
4. Face your fears by being decisive and taking action with a plan.
5. Practice gratitude, even when facing difficulties, like volunteering or giving back.
Today I share my thoughts with you about discovering your talents in 2014. Discovering your talents does not mean this how you will make a living. It is about making time to do the things that you are good at doing and most importantly doing the things that make you feel fulfilled, purposeful and authentic.

5 key differences between Hard skill and Soft skillsRuchiRathor2

In today's dynamic and competitive market, a well-rounded skillset is no longer a luxury - it's a necessity.
While technical expertise (hard skills) is crucial for getting your foot in the door, it's the combination of hard and soft skills that propels you towards long-term success and career advancement. ✨
Think of it like this: Imagine a highly skilled carpenter with a masterful understanding of woodworking (hard skills). But if they struggle to communicate effectively with clients, collaborate with builders, or adapt to project changes (soft skills), their true potential remains untapped. 😐
The synergy between hard and soft skills is what creates true value in the workplace. Strong communication allows you to clearly articulate your technical expertise, while problem-solving skills help you navigate complex challenges alongside your team. 💫
By actively developing both sets of skills, you position yourself as a well-rounded professional who can not only perform tasks efficiently but also contribute meaningfully to a collaborative and dynamic work environment.

HA-OOH! …… HA-OOH! You can sit doing nothing and watch as your goals remain unattainable or you
can act with a sense of purpose and consistency andturn your dreams in reality. Tackle your goalswith
the might of a fierce bull or lions and turn the impossible into possible.Your potential and growth is as
limitlessness as the stratosphere. Like King Agesilaus brandishing his spear and replying when asked
“how far Sparta's boundaries stretched your potential is “As far as this can reach.”
Over the years I have written a lot of encouraging emails to my relatives and friends. Sometimes when I
am working overseas I would write messages to let them know and they would write back excitingly to
tell me how proud they are of me. Recently I decided to take my encouraging emails to different level. In
June I was elected at the Vice President for Education for the City Centre Toastmasters Club in
Mississauga, Ontario. Since then each week I write an email to club members encouraging them to
participate in the education and leadership program. The positive feedback to my emails the
club’smembers to date have been overwhelming.
The power of encouragement from members of my Toastmasters club has propelled me to the point of
blogging daily. I have always had the dream of writing. In fact I have a manuscript in the form of a
memoir describing some my journeys through life which I hope to publish one day. Inspired by members
of my Toastmasters I am now achieving my goal of sharingmy thoughts and experience with you. Just as
I am being encouraged I want to cheer you on as well to be who you want to be.
Your dreams…..Your successes are important to me. You are important to me!
Your potential has no limits and today you cross the border from being ordinary to be who you want to
be. In the words of the Spartan poet TyrtaeusI encourage you to rise up like warriors, take your stand to
be who you want to be. Through determination, persistency, consistency and courage you will be who
you want to be. To be who you want to be is your accomplishment. To be who you want to be is the
noblest prize that you can endeavor to win.
2. HA-OOH!....HA-OOH…This is where you become who you want to be.
