"The PM PrepCast Workshop has helped nearly 23,000 students prepare for the PMP Exam so far and we are hoping to help as many if not more students prepare for the PMI-ACP Exam." Concerning the creation of The Agile PrepCast Fichtner states, "we took our 8 years of experience in delivering podcasts and webinars for traditional PM methods, combined it with our Agile experience and created something truly remarkable: An Agile course for an Agile exam."

The Agile PrepCast was developed by those who understand and use Agile principles. As Fichtner explains, "we formally introduced Agile principles in our organization 2 years ago, so what we teach is based on experience. I'd like to point out in particular, that The Agile PrepCast was set up and developed as an Agile project using Agile methods."

We cover the material required to pass the PMI-ACP Exam according to the Exam Content Outline. The lessons are in everyday English.

Prompt Proofing Book Review: How To Be a Woman by Caitlin Moran

2013-04-26

This is one of those books that I was initially quite confused about. Before I offer my own opinions, here's the summary of the book, courtesy of Amazon.com: Though they have the vote and the Pill and haven't been burned as witches since 1727, life isn't exactly a stroll down the catwalk for modern women. They are beset by uncertainties and questions: Why are they supposed to get Brazilians? Why do bras hurt? Why the incessant talk about babies? And do men secretly hate them? Caitlin Moran interweaves provocative observations on women's lives with laugh-out-loud funny ...

CobraCo Launches EcoLiner and Changes Hanging Basket Market

2013-04-26

Millions of gardeners are planning their flower gardens this spring and part of their outdoor decor plan will most certainly include a hanging basket for their porch or free-standing hanging basket stands. In the past, the selection for lining their baskets would have been a coco liner. That selection of hanging basket liners has now been widened with the launch of the new EcoLiner. Many gardeners enjoy the look of their coco lined hanging baskets but discover throughout the season that coco liners do not retain water well and therefore their plants dry out easily. Coco ...

Coffee may help prevent breast cancer returning, study finds

2013-04-25

Drinking coffee could decrease the risk of breast cancer recurring in patients taking the widely used drug Tamoxifen, a study at Lund University in Sweden has found. Patients who took the pill, along with two or more cups of coffee daily, reported less than half the rate of cancer recurrence, compared with their non-coffee drinking, Tamoxifen-taking counterparts. The team followed over 600 breast cancer patients from southern Sweden for an average of five years. Approximately 300 took Tamoxifen. The drug, a common hormone therapy after breast cancer surgery, reduces the ...

Study shows early dialogue between parents, children stems teen smoking

2013-04-25

Early, substantive dialogue between parents and their grade-school age children about the ills of tobacco and alcohol use can be more powerful in shaping teen behavior than advertising, marketing or peer pressure, a University of Texas at Arlington marketing researcher has shown. The findings of Zhiyong Yang, an associate professor of marketing in the UT Arlington College of Business, are published in a recent edition of the Journal of Business Research. Similar findings were part of a 2010 study he published in the Journal of Public Policy & Marketing of the American ...

Europe needs genetically engineered crops, scientists say

2013-04-25

The European Union cannot meet its goals in agricultural policy without embracing genetically engineered crops (GMOs). That's the conclusion of scientists who write in Trends in Plant Science, a Cell Press publication, based on case studies showing that the EU is undermining its own competitiveness in the agricultural sector to its own detriment and that of its humanitarian activities in the developing world. "Failing such a change, ultimately the EU will become almost entirely dependent on the outside world for food and feed and scientific progress, ironically because ...

As people live longer and reproduce less, natural selection keeps up

2013-04-25

In many places around the world, people are living longer and are having fewer children. But that's not all. A study of people living in rural Gambia, published in the Cell Press journal Current Biology on April 25, shows that this modern-day "demographic transition" may lead women to be taller and slimmer, too. "This is a reminder that declines in mortality rates do not necessarily mean that evolution stops, but that it changes," says Ian Rickard of Durham University in the United Kingdom. Rickard and Alexandre Courtiol of the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife ...

New insights into Alzheimer's gene paves the way for prevention

2013-04-25

Alzheimer's disease is the most common neurodegenerative disorder, affecting more than five million Americans, but currently there is no way to prevent, delay or stop its progression. A study published online April 25 by the Cell Press journal Neuron shows that a gene called CD33 contributes to Alzheimer's disease by inhibiting the ability of immune cells to remove toxic molecules in the brain. The findings provide new insights into the molecular causes of the disease and reveal a novel potential therapy that could prevent cognitive decline and brain damage at early stages. "Before ...

Gene networks in brains of deceased patients reveal potential therapy for Alzheimer's disease

2013-04-25

Most information about the cause of Alzheimer's disease is based on studies from animal models. Now, a study published by Cell Press on April 25th in the journal Cell examines the brain tissue of deceased human patients and sheds light on dysfunctions in molecular networks in the brain that are at the root of Alzheimer's disease. By showing that the TYROBP gene plays a key role in disrupting immune system pathways in the brains of Alzheimer's patients, the study reveals a potential therapeutic target for preventing brain damage caused by this debilitating disease. "Our ...

Potential diabetes breakthrough

2013-04-25

Cambridge, MA, April 25, 2013 --- Researchers at the Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) have discovered a hormone that holds promise for a dramatically more effective treatment of type 2 diabetes, a metabolic illness afflicting an estimated 26 million Americans. The researchers believe that the hormone might also have a role in treating type 1, or juvenile, diabetes. The work was published today by the journal Cell as an early on-line release. It is scheduled for the May 9 print edition of the journal. The hormone, called betatrophin, causes mice to produce insulin-secreting ...
