The document provides instructions for trainers on how to remove closed captions from videos in a PowerPoint presentation. It explains that an add-in called STAMP must be installed to remove captions. Once installed, trainers can locate a slide with a video, click the video, select the "Playback" tab, and click "Hide" to turn off captions for that slide. Captions can be hidden or shown for all slides by repeating the process on each slide.
The Object Management Group (OMG) has developed a standard Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) to provide a notation that is readily understandable by all business users, from the business analyst who creates the initial drafts of the processes to the technical developer responsible for implementing the technology who will execute those processes, and finally, to the business people who will manage and monitor those processes. Thus, BPMN creates a standardized bridge to fill the gap between business and technology.

Explaindio is a versatile tool for creating animated videosFoyezAhmed10
Explaindio boasts that no other software on the market is as cheap and flexible. While this may or may not be true, it does offer a large toolbox for those looking to make animated or explainer videos in whiteboard or cartoon styles.
The software is primarily advertised as a tool for internet marketers, which is a fair designation. For educators or other non-business groups, you’d probably be better off with VideoScribe — another whiteboard animation tool that is easier to use though more expensive as well.
Explaindio is complex and can take some time to learn. Additionally, it only offers a yearly purchase plan. Buying the program will give you access to updates during the year, but not upgrades (i.e. going from 2.0 to 3.0 is not covered, but 3.1 to 3.2 is).

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.
CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Automobile Management System Project Report.pdfKamal Acharya
The proposed project is developed to manage the automobile in the automobile dealer company. The main module in this project is login, automobile management, customer management, sales, complaints and reports. The first module is the login. The automobile showroom owner should login to the project for usage. The username and password are verified and if it is correct, next form opens. If the username and password are not correct, it shows the error message.
When a customer search for a automobile, if the automobile is available, they will be taken to a page that shows the details of the automobile including automobile name, automobile ID, quantity, price etc. “Automobile Management System” is useful for maintaining automobiles, customers effectively and hence helps for establishing good relation between customer and automobile organization. It contains various customized modules for effectively maintaining automobiles and stock information accurately and safely.
When the automobile is sold to the customer, stock will be reduced automatically. When a new purchase is made, stock will be increased automatically. While selecting automobiles for sale, the proposed software will automatically check for total number of available stock of that particular item, if the total stock of that particular item is less than 5, software will notify the user to purchase the particular item.
Also when the user tries to sale items which are not in stock, the system will prompt the user that the stock is not enough. Customers of this system can search for a automobile; can purchase a automobile easily by selecting fast. On the other hand the stock of automobiles can be maintained perfectly by the automobile shop manager overcoming the drawbacks of existing system.

Business process modeling diagrams
Point to the bottom of the video to see the video controls. Drag or point
along the progress bar to move forward or go back.
Business Process Modeling Notation or BPMN is a standard
notation system for describing business processes.
It was designed to solve communication problems that arise
when different parts of a company use different types of
notation but they need to work together.
For example, a management team might design a process
and hand it off to the IT department to implement
but IT needs more specific information than is captured in
the management notation.
The foundational principals behind BPMN help you create
clear diagrams with a minimum of clutter,
while including as much complex information as you need.
Here’s an example: A change of address process at Proseware
Inc.
It looks fairly simple but there is a lot of information here and
most of the basic BPMN elements are used.
There really aren’t that many basic elements in BPMN.
In fact, there are four. Flow objects, Connecting objects,
Swimlanes and Artifacts.
Flow objects are the main objects you see in the process.
The squares, diamonds and circles. Those are the only three
types of Flow objects.
Squares represent activities, generally Tasks.
Diamonds represent Gateways, usually decisions of some
kind.
Circles represent events.
Connecting objects are the lines and arrows that connect the
other objects and show the direction of the process flow.
There are three types but I’ll explain those later. They are
easier to understand in context.
Swimlanes are the same as in other cross functional flow
charts.
Each person or group involved in the process has a lane.
Each activity is put into the lane of the person or group
responsible for that step.
BPMN also has the concept of Pools which are separate, self-
contained entities involved in a process.
For example, two companies transacting business or a
company as one Pool and Customers as a second Pool.
The last type of element, Artifacts, are for adding information
and details
but they aren’t part of the structure of the process.
Artifacts include text annotations, group boxes that show
relationships
and Data Objects like emails or documents.
In the next video, I’ll show how these basic elements are
turned into the specific steps that are used in the example
diagram.
8. Elements of BPMN (3:59)
Business process modeling diagrams
Point to the bottom of the video to see the video controls. Drag or point
along the progress bar to move forward or go back.
The basic elements of Business Process Modeling Notation,
or BPMN, are similar to the shapes used in other process
diagrams.
But the BPMN standard provides ways to add as much
specific technical information to your diagram as you need.
Let’s look at how these elements are used in this example
diagram.
There are two Pools on the main page of the change of
address process.
One for the company, Proseware, Inc. and one for a
Customer.
The Proseware, Inc. Pool has two lanes. One for activities
performed by the Help Desk
and one for activities performed by the processing center.
Each Pool has a Start Event and an End Event.
The customer initiates the process by sending a change of
address form to the Help Desk at Proseware Inc.
Notice that the connector between the Customer activity
and the Proseware Inc. activity,
that is going from one Pool to the other, is different from the
connectors that are used inside each Pool.
Inside each Pool, the sequence flow is used, which is
represented by a solid connector.
Between Pools, the BPMN standard says to use a message
flow connector which is dashed rather than solid.
It indicates that messages flow from one pool to the other
but sequences are limited to a single Pool.
Inside the Proseware Inc. Pool, there are three types of
activities
identified by distinct icons on the activity's shape and in this
diagram by colors.
How do you know what each icon represents?
A quick way is to right-click the shape and look at the options
that are set for it.
The first activity has a Loop type of None, a Task Type of
User,
Compensation is not checked and the Activity Type is Task.
So this is a user task and if I zoom in on the icon, it kind of
looks like a sketch of a person.
The other activity that has an icon in the upper right corner
has similar settings on the shortcut menu,
except it’s a Script task, meaning it’s automated.
The third activity is not a task, there’s no task type on the
shortcut menu.
A look at the activity type shows that it’s a Collapsed Sub-
Process instead of a task.
That means there are multiple steps involved in completing
the task.
Which, in this case, is verifying the account, but for the sake
of making this overview process easier to read,
the steps are placed on a separate page of the diagram and a
single shape represents that Sub-Process here.
The Sub-Process shape is hyperlinked to the Sub-Process
page so it’s easy to follow through to the details.
I’ll talk more about Sub-Processes in another video.
There’s only one more element to demonstrate in this
example diagram,
and to do that I’ll follow a link to the Sub-Process Page by
holding down the Ctrl key and clicking the shape.
That element is the Gateway shape. There are a few types of
gateways
and they’re identified by the icons on the shapes, like the
activity shapes are.
These gateways have X’s and by right-clicking and looking at
the Gateway Type,
I can see that they’re Exclusive Data with Marker types.
Exclusive Data means that the sequence can follow only one
of the outgoing branches.
In this case the form is either OK or it’s not, it can’t be both.
Other gateway types handle different routing situations.
For example if the process branches into several
simultaneous paths.
But many processes use only exclusive gateways, including
this process.
In the next video I’ll show how to get started creating this
diagram from scratch.
9. Start a diagram (4:50)
Business process modeling diagrams
Point to the bottom of the video to see the video controls. Drag or point
along the progress bar to move forward or go back.
To start making a BPMN diagram, open Visio Premium 2010
and click the Flowchart category.
Double-click BPMN Diagram.
The drawing page is blank but I know I want my shapes
organized in Pools and Swimlanes, so that’s a good place to
start.
I’ll drag a Pool/Lane shape over to the page.
Since I need two Lanes in this pool, I'll add a second one
by holding the pointer and then clicking the blue arrow that
appears.
With two or more Lanes, Visio adds a title to the Pool.
I might as well change the labels now.
So I’ll click the title text once and start typing. Proseware, Inc.
The top Lane is for the Processing Center.
The bottom Lane is for the Help Desk.
Now I’ll add a second Pool for the customer and change the
label.
Each Pool will have its own sequence with start and end
events.
So I’ll drag a Start Event onto the appropriate Lane in each
Pool.
I’ll label the customer event, Customer changes address, by
selecting the shape and typing.
Since the Proseware, Inc. sequence is more complex than the
customer’s sequence,
I’ll fill in the Proseware Pool and then line up Customer
under it.
I’ll add shapes and connectors in one click
by using the floating mini toolbar that appears when I hold
the pointer over a shape
and then over the little blue arrow that appears.
The four shapes that it shows are the first ones in the quick
shapes area of the stencil
but the preview shape that appears on the page by default is
a Start Event which isn’t in the Quick Shapes area,
it’s showing up because Start Event is selected in the stencil.
I want a task shape though. So I’ll click that on the floating
toolbar.
The next shape I need is the collapsed sub process shape,
which isn’t in the quick shapes area.
I could drag one from the stencil but I’ll select it in the stencil
and click the blue arrow when collapsed sub process shows
up as the preview shape.
The collapsed sub process is in the wrong Lane but that’s
easily fixed by dragging it where it needs to go.
Now I need a task, another task and finally, the end event.
The customer sequence is quite short.
Two tasks and an end event.
I just need to line up the Customer tasks with the Help Desk
tasks because message flows run between them.
To complete the connections, I’ll add the message flows
between the Pools.
I can do that quickly by holding the pointer over the blue
arrow
that points from one shape to the other in the direction of
the flow.
The mini toolbar appears but I can ignore that now.
Visio detects that a shape is directly across from this shape
and it’s within connection range
so it puts a preview of a connector on the page.
It’s a solid sequence flow.
It needs to be a dashed message flow but I can change it
from one to the other.
So I’ll click the arrow to keep it.
When I right-click the connector, I see the three types of
connecting objects at the top of the shortcut menu.
I just click the one I want. In this case, message flow.
I do the same thing for the other message, except this one
comes from the Proseware Pool to the Customer Pool.
One last thing to do to get the foundations in place, identify
what kinds of tasks these are.
The ones in the Help Desk lane are user tasks.
A person does something.
So I’ll right-click the first task, point to task type and click
User.
Activities at the processing center are automated.
So I’ll select the Script type for that one.
Then back to the Help Desk with another user task.
I’ll show what to do with a collapsed sub process shape in
the next video.
10. Break out subprocesses (3:06)
Business process modeling diagrams
Point to the bottom of the video to see the video controls. Drag or point
along the progress bar to move forward or go back.
When you diagram a complex process,
it’s usually good to have multiple levels of detail to enable
different levels of analysis.
At the highest level of the complete process, it would be too
much detail to have every step included.
Detailed steps that form a self-contained unit of activity can
be broken out of the overview process
and diagramed separately as sub processes, which are then
represented as a single shape in the overview.
In this example: the collapsed sub process shape represents
several steps.
Those steps are diagramed separately.
If the sub process hasn’t been drawn yet, select the collapsed
sub process shape,
and on the process tab, click Create New.
Visio creates a new blank page that’s linked to the selected
shape.
If the sub process has been diagramed all ready;
select the shape you want to link, go to the process tab, click
Link to Existing,
and then select the page you want to link to in the list.
There’s also the option to browse to another document.
For example: if sub processes are documented and
maintained by each team in separate files, in a process
repository,
you can link to the separate file and it will open.
Even if the file is Excel, or PowerPoint, or Word; for example.
As long as the user has the right program to open the file.
If you are drawing the overview and decide that a group of
shapes should be broken out as a sub process,
you don’t have to draw them over again.
Select those shapes by holding the CTRL key while you click
them all
and on the Process tab, click Create from Selection.
A collapsed sub process shape is added to the diagram
and the selected shapes are moved to a new page.
So far I’ve talked about collapsed sub processes.
You might have noticed that there is an expanded sub
process shape too.
This shape is a container you can use when you want to leave
a small sub process on an overview,
but still make it obvious that the steps form a unit.
To add an expanded sub process container,
drop it from the shapes window over the shapes in the sub
process.
It doesn’t fit quite right and it doesn’t actually contain any
shapes yet, but we'll fix that.
Select all the shapes, then right-click one of the selected
shapes, point to Container,
and then click Add to Underline Container. Now find the side
of the container, right-click it, Point to Container,
and then click Fit to Contents. And while the expanded sub
process tape is still selected, start typing to add a label.
In the next video, I’ll show how to run the validation tool,
which checks whether the diagram conforms visually with
the BPNM 1.2 Standard, and helps you find where the errors
are.
11. Validate the diagram (1:40)
Business process modeling diagrams
Point to the bottom of the video to see the video controls. Drag or point
along the progress bar to move forward or go back.
The BPMN standard contains a large number of rules that
have to be satisfied in compliant diagrams.
Diagram Validation in Visio Premium 2010, helps you check
that a diagram conforms visually to the BPMN 1.2 standard.
To run the validation tools; on the Process tab, click the
Check Diagram button.
This issues window opens.
If you have items in the Issues window, click one and the
corresponding shape is selected.
After you fix an issue, check the diagram again to confirm
which problems were fixed.
Fixing one problem will often clear up several items in the
Issues window.
In this case, a connector looks like it’s attached but it isn’t.
I’ll drag it over and glue it in place and then run Check
Diagram again.
Sequence flow must not cross a Pool Boundary.
I’ll click it and the sequence flow is selected on the diagram.
It should be a message flow since it crosses between pools.
So I’ll right-click it and change the type to Message Flow, and
the other one needs to be changed as well.
Now Check Diagram returns a Clear Issues window.
That’s the end of the BPMN Basics Training.
You can create many kinds of process diagrams, using only
what I described in these five videos.

Using This Template
This Microsoft PowerPoint® template has training content about creating Business Process Modeling Notation diagrams in Microsoft Visio® 2010. Its content is adapted from the Office.com Training course called “BPMN diagramming basics.”
PowerPoint version: The template must be viewed in PowerPoint 2010. If you don’t have PowerPoint 2010, the videos included in the presentation will not play. If you don’t have PowerPoint 2010, download the PowerPoint Viewer to view these files (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=cb9bf144%2D1076%2D4615%2D9951%2D294eeb832823).Video playback: If the yellow security bar appears at the top of the screen in PowerPoint, or if a Codec Unavailable message appears in the video playback window, the presentation might have opened in Protected View. To enable video playback, in the yellow security bar at the top of the PowerPoint window, click Enable Editing.
Slide layouts: Each slide has a custom layout. To apply the custom layout to a new slide, right-click the slide thumbnail, point to Layout, and click the layout from the Layout gallery. To alter the layouts, open master view and alter the specific master layout in that view. You can find the layout’s title by pointing to its thumbnail.
Animations: Custom animation effects are applied throughout the presentation. These include Float In (Up or Down option), Fade, and Zoom. To alter animation effects, click the Animations tab, and use the Add Animation gallery and Timing options. Effect Options gives you choices about the effect; click Animation Pane on the Animations tab to work with multiple animations.
Transitions: One transition, Doors, is used to emphasize sections of the slide show. It’s applied on the Course Contents slide, Lesson slide, and the first test slide.
Hyperlinks to online course: The template contains links to the online version of this training course. The links take you to the hands-on practice session for each lesson and to the Quick Reference Card that is published for this course. Please take note: You must have [app] 2010 installed to view the hands-on practice sessions. If you don’t have [app] 2010, you won’t be able to access the practice instructions.
Headers and footers: The template contains a footer that has the course title. To add footers such as the date or slide numbers, click the Insert tab, and click Header & Footer.
Extracting videos from this file: Read these instructions first, because you’ll have to close this file in order to follow them. To extract the videos from this file, start Windows Explorer and change the filename extension from .pptx to .zip. Confirm the name change, and then open the renamed file. You’ll see a set of folders. The videos are located in the \ppt\media folder. Copy the videos and paste them to your local drive or other convenient location. You’ll probably need to rename the videos, because PowerPoint names them Media1.wmv, and so on. To resume using the presentation, change the filename extension back to .pptx.
