Process Automation Makeover: Transform Multiple Workflows into One Process by...
This document discusses transforming multiple workflows into a single automated process using Lightning Process Builder in Salesforce. It provides an example of converting different workflow rules for high, medium, and low value clients into a single process based on the client's annual revenue and value rating. It cautions not to activate the new process in a production environment until testing is complete. Finally, it lists several Trailhead modules and projects, Success Community forums, blogs, and the Salesforce Automation Hour as resources for learning more about Lightning Process Builder and visual workflow automation in Salesforce.
RESIDUAL INCOME
This document summarizes a multi-level marketing opportunity being offered by Global Domains International (GDI) to sell .ws domain names and web hosting packages. Key points:
- GDI owns the .ws top-level domain and offers a $10/month package including a domain name, hosting, email, and website builder.
- Affiliates can earn commissions of $1 per month for each package sold to people in their referral network of up to 5 levels deep. Large networks could generate thousands of dollars per month.
- Bonuses are offered for referring new affiliates, with $100 paid for every 5 new signups in a week (no limit on number of bonuses).

El documento presenta un proyecto de ley sobre la prisión preventiva con el objetivo de establecer criterios claros, acelerar los procesos, garantizar el control y la participación de las víctimas. Propone reformas al código procesal para regular con precisión los casos en que procede la prisión preventiva, los plazos de duración y el procedimiento para dictar, controlar y hacer cesar la medida cautelar a través de audiencias orales. También busca uniformar los criterios sobre prisión preventiva en toda la provincia.
Going viral
This document discusses network theory and how information spreads virally online. It uses examples like "The Dress" photo and the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge to illustrate how ideas cascade through social networks. According to network theory, viral events occur when a idea or behavior is shared with the right cluster of influential and interconnected people that can light up the entire network. For PR professionals, it recommends mapping networks, flooding clusters of influencers, creating velocity in sharing, and ensuring messages align with network values to potentially trigger viral information cascades.
The Anticipatory CPA #PSTECH
This document discusses the need for CPAs to transition from being reactive to proactive and anticipatory. Only 8% of CPAs currently have this "future ready" mindset. The top barriers preventing CPAs from being more proactive are lack of time and being too focused on reacting to immediate needs rather than planning ahead. To prepare for the future, CPAs must start learning new skills like strategic thinking, innovation, and change leadership. Fostering relationships will also be important as the future is about more than just technical skills.
The Ideal Proxy Statement
Institutional investors are highly dissatisfied with the quality of information that they receive about corporate governance policies and practices in the annual proxy. Across the board, they want proxies to be shorter, more concise, more candid, and less legal.
The largest complaint involves executive compensation and the inability of investors to determine whether senior management is paid appropriately. Based on recent survey data from major institutional investors, we describe the information that shareholders would like to see in the “ideal” proxy statement.
We ask:
• What changes can companies make to proxies contain the information that investors want in a format that is easy to read and navigate?
• Would shareholder understanding of corporate governance practices improve if companies provided clearer and more succinct data?
• How might the debate about executive compensation change?

Distributed Pair Programming
Are two heads better than one? Isn't that twice as expensive? No, pairing goes almost twice as fast, but saves costly errors later. I can be done face to face or remote, and works for non software projects as well.

Guilford standards for promotion and tenure
The document outlines the timeline of revisions to Guilford's standards for promotion and tenure from 2005-2016. It describes how a faculty evaluation process committee was formed in 2007 to review the standards following a controversial tenure decision. The committee submitted recommendations in 2008, which were then reviewed by various faculty and trustee committees over subsequent years. After several rounds of faculty approval and trustee rejection of proposed changes, a new effort began in 2015 to broadly revise the review process rather than just implement previously approved documents. The current proposals incorporate recommendations from the original faculty evaluation process committee.
Israel's Allies Must Speak Out _ Andy Blumenthal _ The Blogs.pdf
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: It seems like the world has turned on Israel, but they are truly not alone, and good people from around the world stand with Israel despite the actions and rhetoric of the vile extremists that support terrorism.
Israel’s allies rely on her to fight terror while they keep a “good face” on relations with the Arab community at large. But quiet support is no longer enough. Those who oppose terror must be bold.

Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: Judaism teaches that our mission in life is to connect to G-d, the source of all.

Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: Right now, hate-filled anarchists, Marxists, and radicals are foaming and frothing at the mouth, very sure of themselves, and giving phony press conferences, posting “legal observers,” and surrounding and terrorizing innocent people, while the authorities and law enforcement seem to do little to nothing.
Every one of these bad actors has had their fun and lived out their fantasy of independence and “saving the world” (not!) and now it is time when they will pay the piper for their knowing misdeeds. The parents, institutions, “professors,” and our politicians need to wake up now, restore truth and order, and salvage what is left of the shattered credibility and lives of these unfortunate and misguided souls.

America Is the Target; Israel Is the Front Line _ Andy Blumenthal _ The Blogs...Andy (Avraham) Blumenthal
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: This is not about free speech but about a takeover of America. These vile terrorist supporters are using our very Constitution against us as they falsely cry Islamophobia and free speech, all the while impeding, threatening, and committing acts of violence against students, citizens, and an orderly democracy. It is time for Americans to stop being complacent or fooled by their terrorist talking points and rhetoric of hate, racism, and Communist ideology. In the face of this evil, we are finally seeing Patriots emerge, proudly carrying and defending the American flag, singing the Star-Spangled Banner, and boldly chanting USA!More Related Content

The Rebbe Knew _ Andy Blumenthal _ The Blogs.pdf
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: This year at Passover seder, I had the privilege to sit next to an elderly Jewish lady, whom I’ll call Esther. We sat together at a Chabad seder, and on the wall next to us was a beautiful painting of the Rebbe.
My wife and I were spellbound by his lifelike holy image, especially his knowing, piercing blue eyes. In fact, we joked that it would be funny if the eyes started to move back and forth in the painting. Esther, who was sitting directly next to me, overheard us and proceeded to tell me some amazing stories about the Rebbe, which I am pleased to be able to share with all of you.
Jewish Students and Faculty Must Sue _ Andy Blumenthal _ The Blogs (1).pdf
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: We have all been following the horrific news and video clips coming out of our American universities of blatant antisemitism coupled with intimidation, harassment, barring of access, and violence from Hamas terrorist protesters against Jewish students and faculty under the false guise of blaring calls for Palestinian freedom “from the river to the sea.”
As our enemies gleefully chant, “There is only one solution, intifada revolution” and “by any (violent, abhorrent) means necessary,” we must answer with our “one solution” and that is to hold accountable the corrupt and even criminal institutions and leadership that are openly permitting this to occur.
By Any Means Necessary _ Andy Blumenthal _ The Blogs.pdf
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: Modern-day anti-Semitism has taken the form of pro-Hamas supporters on our campuses and in our cities who pretend that they are fighting against colonialism and an occupation of Palestine. They strategically disguise their Jew-hatred by falsely portraying themselves as the victims of oppression. Instead of showing themselves as the vile racists that they are, they attempt to hide as wolves in sheep's clothing. They do this to try and get the world's sympathy and take the mantle of morality and legitimacy through lies and distortion. In so doing, they can call for resistance, intifada, and jihad, and "by any (murderous and abhorrent) means necessary," all the while pretending to be virtuous.
Reincarnation_ Try, Try Again _ Andy Blumenthal _ The Blogs.pdf
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: One of the great issues in dealing with life is what happens when we die. Is it “game over” and we are gone for good, or as Jews we believe that while our bodies die, our souls live on in eternity with Hashem. However, another scenario to deal with is if we still have imperfections that we need to work on, does G-d bring us back again through the reincarnation of our souls (“Gilgul Neshamot”) to continue the process of learning, growth, and perfecting ourselves?
The Canary in the Antisemitic Coal Mine _ Andy Blumenthal _ The Blogs.pdf
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: Day after day, week after week now, we see the vile Hamas terrorist supporters acting out in public, screaming, cursing, threatening, blocking, harassing, burning flags, pushing, prodding, and violently attacking others (i.e., Zionists and Jews). In any normal situation, the police would be there protecting the innocent, stopping the harassment, and arresting the violent agitators. But these days, what do we see? The police seem to be doing virtually nothing to stop them.
Without any serious consequences from our law enforcement, courts, or politicians, we can expect things to continue to escalate and get more dangerous.
The Occupation Game _ Andy Blumenthal _ The Blogs.pdf
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: Since October 7, it has become almost a daily chorus by Hamas and their supporters around the world condemning Israel for “occupation.” However, if you really examine the facts, it becomes clear that the word occupation is nothing more than propaganda and a tool of radical Islam for hate, intifada, jihad, and terrorism.
Finding Strength in Difficult Times _ Andy Blumenthal _ The Blogs.pdf
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: There are countless shakeups and wake-up calls of life that span from small to large crises that test our faith and ability to cope. In whatever circumstances we find ourselves, it's not about escaping from the difficulties, but finding G-d even when he seems absent or hidden from us. G-d is there, and so is a path toward overcoming the challenges, sanctifying our lives, and finding our meaning and significance.
The Hostage's Cry _ Andy Blumenthal _ The Blogs.pdf
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: Tick-tock.
The days are, oh, so long.
The years of the past now seem so short.
I am waiting for salvation.
In my heart, I pray over and over:
“Blessed are You, L-rd our G-d,
King of the Universe,
Who sets free those in bonds.”
I know you are coming to rescue me.
I am waiting for you.
The Topsy Turvy World of Baby Killers and Nazis _ Andy Blumenthal _ The Blogs...
The Topsy Turvy World of Baby Killers and Nazis _ Andy Blumenthal _ The Blogs...Andy (Avraham) Blumenthal
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: One of the toughest things to bear is when our enemies hypocritically use psychological projection and try to turn the tables, calling us "Baby Killers," "Rapists," and "Nazis," when this is exactly the criminal behavior that the Hamas terrorists perpetrated at the October 7 massacre in Southern Israel.
For Israel, it's as if being barbarically attacked and victimized with the rape and mutilation of women, beheadings and burnings of babies, and murders and abductions of young and old aren't enough. But then to suffer the grotesque turning of reality on its head by having the perpetrators of these crimes call you out as the aggressor is beyond imagination.
As we approach the Jewish holiday of Purim, we have to maintain our ultimate faith in the Almighty that those corrupt evildoers who seek our destruction "by any means necessary" will ultimately themselves face justice like the evil Haman (perhaps the forefather of Hamas).Love Is Not Blind, But Hate Sure Is _ Andy Blumenthal _ The Blogs.pdf
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: What blind love and hate do have in common is an irrational mob mentality that destroys one's ability to think rationally and morally. When you either deprive people of real information and outside perspectives, brainwash them, or create a sense of baseless fear and anger, you can bring out a real destructive side of humanity that borders on the psychotic and sociopathic. Thus, when people get back to their family, friends, and "real life," similar to when Hitler was killed and the Nazis and their propaganda machine were defeated, then perspective and normalcy could return. This is why it's so important to fight the fake news and brainwashing that are so prevalent right now.
In the end, love is not actually blind, but hate most certainly is completely blind, deaf, and utterly dumb.
Imagine Peace _ Andy Blumenthal _ The Blogs.pdf
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: Foes are turned into friends.
Families grow rather than attend early funerals.
Communities bustle and prosper rather than lie as dying evacuated ghost towns.
We all become part of a community of nations working to solve life's biggest problems, instead of planning how to maim and kill each other with greater pinpoint accuracy and effect.
Nobody Wanted War _ Andy Blumenthal _ The Blogs.pdf
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: We know that Israel wants more than anything to live in peace and that they have tried virtually everything to make peace with their neighbors, including multiple offerings of a state for the Palestinians (and even giving in to practically their every demand, often to the Israelis own detriment), only to meet with one repeated rejection after another reiterating the Arab League's Khartoum Resolution: "no peace with Israel, no negotiation with Israel, and no recognition of Israel."
After October 7, the deadly abuse absolutely could not continue any longer.
There is a time to walk away and a time for necessary action.
It Comes Down to Leadership _ Andy Blumenthal _ The Blogs.pdf
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: While there are many factors that contribute to our national success, certainly if we are going to be able to confront the challenges we face both at home and abroad, we must have strong and courageous leadership. Not only to unite us but also to evoke our very best, we need leadership that commands respect from both left and right, with a mighty and passionate vision that moves us not only to farseeing human progress but equally to moral righteousness. With this, we can instill pride in both who we are and where we are going and not be in fear of what’s threatening our streets or our shores anymore.
How To Get The Hostages Out Alive _ Andy Blumenthal _ The Blogs.pdf
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: In my opinion, the only tactical way to rescue the hostages is to locate and map the tunnel they are hiding in and then gas them all to sleep. The gas would need to be carefully regulated so as not to alert the terrorists that it is being used and not to harm the hostages. The gas needs to be odorless and colorless (like nitrous oxide) to camouflage its use, and the Israeli commandos will need to be hairpin-ready to blow the blast doors and get in to rescue the hostages.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
