Regular readers will recall that Dodgy Col, now known as Clifford Harper and serving a 33-month prison sentence for fraud, was involved in the curious tale of the £23,000 engagement ring Sage gave to his fiancée Thea Thorpe.

Two years later, Sage and Farfan, along with 'Dodgy Col' Smith, an employee of Space Energy, had a further meeting with HPE 'to verify that Space Energy's business was legitimate'. Qais Al Khawaja, a Dubai-based HPE salesman, agreed the initial sales to Space Energy in 2010 on the basis of a solar farm 'test site' that Farfan claimed Space Energy had set up in Iraq. Sage's co-defendant, Walter Jason Farfan of Chesham Road, Wigginton, Tring – who used the false name Jason Gooding throughout Space Energy's existence – agreed on behalf of Space Energy not to resell any of the servers it was buying, HPE claimed in the court docs.įarfan was briefly mentioned in Mr Justice Jay's January judgement committing Sage to prison for contempt of court as being 'out of the jurisdiction and apparently evasive'. He will tell the court: 'This exercise is a 'cost-sourcing' exercise, whereby the Claimant is manipulating its monopoly powers to force small business entities to 'pay up' or settle Claims early so it may legitimise to its shareholders for the lack of 'control' the Claimants currently have over such deals and Agreements.' Sage claimed in his defence that he was 'not aware of any special pricing deals with the Claimants and the Reseller' and labelled HPE's case 'highly speculative'. Recipients of so-called Big Deal discounts, as they were called in the court filings, were prohibited from reselling any discounted items they bought – and had to give an undertaking that they were the final end user. The last point forms a key part of HPE's case against Sage and Space Energy. Resellers could, with HPE's permission, offer special discounts to particular customers.The reseller was responsible for ensuring customers reselling HPE gear only did so within the reseller's authorised territory.Resellers must not knowingly sell to customers planning to export HPE products.Exporting goods outside of the reseller's authorised territory was forbidden.In the future, it is necessary to measure the actual impact of feedback on learning.HPE gave a brief overview of its model in its court filings. The approach has been effectively applied to analyze a real Central Venous Catheter installation training case. In this work, we propose a novel use of process mining techniques to effectively identify desired and undesired process patterns regarding rework, order, and performance, in order to complement the tailored feedback of surgical procedures using a process perspective.

However, there is a process perspective not successfully captured by those instruments, e.g., steps performed but in an undesired order, part of the process repeated an unnecessary number of times, or excessive transition time between steps.

Current state-of-the-art feedback relies on Checklists and Global Rating Scales to indicate whether all process steps have been performed and the quality of each execution step. Providing feedback to each student tailored to how the student has performed the procedure each time, improves the effectiveness of the training. In healthcare, developing high procedural skill levels through training is a key factor for obtaining good clinical results on surgical procedures.
