text: Giant Pacific Octopus All About Octopuses Did you know? October 8-12 are Cephalopod Awareness Days? It's true, and October 8 is (the 10th annual) World Octopus Day! Octopuses (yes, THAT is the correct plural of octopus) are cephalopods – a class name derived from the Greek word cephalopoda, meaning "head-feet." These incredibly unique animals are characterized by their bilateral symmetry, a body shape that primarily includes a large head and set of arms or tentacles. Out of the 800 identified living species of cephalopods, 300 of those species are octopuses! Here at the Aquarium, we have a giant Pacific octopus on exhibit. We spoke to Aquarist Katie Webster about what it's like to care for it: Octopus Infographic Click for full infographic Octopuses are mollusks, related to squid, clams, and snails. Like squid, they are cephalopods, meaning 'head-foot', so named because the feet (arms) are attached to the head. The bulbous sack-like body, or mantle, is perched atop the head; the mouth and beak are on the underside, where the arms converge. Octopuses have a highly developed brain and acute vision. These masters of camouflage can quickly change the color and texture of their skin to match the background. By rapidly drawing water into the mantle and expelling it through the tube-like siphon, they can jet themselves backward, away from danger. Octopus Facts Diet Newly hatched octopuses are small enough to be part of the plankton (small, microscopic organisms), so their food is equally small—copepods and larval crabs and seastars. Adults feed on crabs, clams, snails, small fishes, and even other octopuses. The octopus typically pounces on its target, enveloping it with its inter-arm webbing and using its beak to break open hard-shelled prey. Size This is the largest species of octopus in the world. While common lore refers to these giant invertebrates reaching more than 30 feet (9.1 m) across and weighing more than 600 pounds (272 kg), more reliable reports put the record holder at 400 pounds (182 kg) with an arm span of 25 feet (7.6 m). Range The giant Pacific octopus is common to the intertidal zone to depths of nearly 2,500 feet (750 m). They range from southern California, northward along the coast of North America, across the Aleutian Islands, and southward to Japan. Population Status This octopus is common throughout its range. However, larger specimens (over 100 pounds, or 45.4 kg) are seldom seen, suggesting changes in population health or age composition. Predators Many young, larval octopuses are lost to predators. Only the largest fish (such as halibut and ling cod) and marine mammals are any threat to adults. Humans collect the giant Pacific octopus for food, for display in aquariums, and for use as bait in other fisheries. Back to the Top

It's one way of looking at Halloween that many parents have not thought about. They spend so much time telling their children to never accept candy from a stranger. Then on Halloween they tell their children to go for it.
How can a parent explain himself or herself?
On the Channel 6 News Midday Tuesday, Janie Peterson from Behaven Kids talked about that and other subjects related to Halloween.
We have attached a video of the interview to this story.
Peterson also discussed how to use Trick or Treating as an opportunity to teach children about manners, how to accept a compliment from a stranger, and how to work with your children to use the candy they collect as rewards for good behavior.

Post a reply to the thread: Cain Velasquez vs. Junior dos Santos 3 is official for UFC 166 in Houston

I love both guys but I am cheering for Junior.
And then I want a 4th fight later.
Junior dos Santos not concerned that UFC champ Velasquez skipped tour stop
For me, I don't care about the other guys, other people," dos Santos told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "They do whatever they want to do. I'm doing my part, and I think it's very important, especially here in Brazil."
As MMAjunkie.com previously reported, Velasquez was announced as a participant in a Rio de Janeiro stop on the promotion's multi-city UFC World Tour 2013. However, Velasquez didn't make the trip to South America and instead returned home following stops in California, New York and Texas.
A representative from Velasquez's camp insisted he was never planning on going to Brazil, but dos Santos said he didn't here anything to that effect until after a Thursday stop in Houston.
"I asked, 'Cain is coming to Brazil, too?'" dos Santos recalled. "Somebody told me, 'No, no. He's not going anymore.'"
Dos Santos (16-2 MMA, 10-1 UFC) completed his responsibilities at the final stop on the tour without Velasquez (12-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) while meeting with reporters throughout the day before hosting a fan Q&A session prior to Friday's UFC 163 weigh-ins. Meanwhile, Velasquez was able to return to American Kickboxing Academy and resume his training.
In a sport in which small variables can mean all the difference in the world, one could argue that additional time was an advantage for Velasquez, but dos Santos said he's not concerned.
"It's going to be just two days more," dos Santos said. "I don't think he's going to get that much better than me in just two days. I do think he could have come to Brazil, but he didn't want to."
So with both men now done with their tour commitments, it's time for the two heavyweights to shift their focus to an upcoming trilogy bout, which headlines UFC 166 on Oct. 19 in Houston.
Velasquez and dos Santos first met at UFC on FOX 1 in November 2011, when dos Santos stopped Velasquez in just 64 seconds. That was Velasquez's first defense of the belt after taking it from Brock Lesnar.
In their rematch at UFC 155, though, Velasquez dominated dos Santos for five rounds to win back the belt. His win over Silva marked his first successful title defense.
Some fans have suggested Velasquez likely will have the mental edge heading into the third contest since he was caught quickly in the first meeting but turned in a through beating for 25 minutes in the rematch. Dos Santos actually believes the opposite is true.
"In his mind, he knows he gave his all – he gave everything he had – and he couldn't finish the fight," dos Santos said. "I finished the fight in one minute. I think I have the advantage, and he knows that. But both me and him have to be perfect in our strategy to win this fight."

CHAPEL HILL — A conversation Monday about how part of Chapel Hill should grow called into question how neighbors who oppose a draft plan are being viewed.
More than 100 people spilled out of the meeting room and into a hallway at the Southern Human Services Center on Homestead Road. The Town Council is holding some meetings there while the first floor of Chapel Hill's Town Hall is being renovated.
Roughly 30 people spoke about two plans on the table in Central West – a roughly 97-acre area surrounding the Estes Drive-Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard intersection. Many urged the council to support the less-dense citizens alternative map over an official Central West Steering Committee map.
It also was the first meeting at which the council used its new policy of limiting public speakers to two minutes instead of three when more than 15 people are signed up. Some speakers grew angry or refused to stop speaking when they ran out of time.
The 17-member Central West Steering Committee was appointed last year to work with the community and plan how the area should look in the future. The committee delivered an early draft Monday to the Town Council.
The plan could bring up to 270,000 square feet of commercial and retail space, plus 620 residential units, to 97 acres at the Estes-MLK Boulevard intersection, committee co-chair Amy Ryan said. Buildings up to three stories could front streets, stepping back to four stories. Taller buildings are possible on steep slopes south of Estes Drive.
Ryan said the committee's goal is a framework that developers can use to make specific plans. It's a good plan for the town and the neighborhood, she said. It also advocates for a stormwater master plan and preserving the tree cover.
A splinter group of four committee members and residents submitted the citizens alternative map, which offers less retail and commercial space in exchange for more single- and multi-family homes. It also creates several parks and includes senior housing south of Estes Drive.
The group decided to draft its own map after complaining its ideas weren't getting a fair shake and the committee, a consultant and town staff were pushing for a denser plan. Residents also are concerned about traffic, pedestrian and bicycle safety and stormwater.
Several officials, including Parker and Ryan, have said the minority group's ideas have been considered but defeated in a supermajority vote.
Council member Gene Pease said commercial development costs the town less and contributes more to its tax base than residential projects, but no one's ever interested in having development in their backyard that helps pay for services. No one's ever asked him to cut services or raise taxes either, he said.
"I believe unless we don't allow some commercial development throughout all of the town in the areas it deems the most appropriate, we're going be pushing lower-income people and the elderly out of the community, we're not going to have the affordable housing, and our services will have to be cut or taxes are going to have to be significantly raised in the future," Pease said.
Council member Matt Czajkowski asked what's wrong with the citizens map. It offers more affordable housing, addresses environmental issues and develops the area fairly for landowners, he said.
"I, for one, get really angry when I hear my friends of whom there are many in this room for whom I have the greatest respect because they deserve it ... described as NIMBYs (Not In My Backyard)," he said. "I'm amazed that term is allowed be used. It is in every way pejorative. It effectively says you are so focused on your narrow self-interests, you people, that you can't possibly see the broader good."
Kleinschmidt agreed the community dialogue could be better.
"We need to make sure we all articulate the best way we can what our interests are and the change that might occur," he said. "We're all kind of in this together, people, and I hope that we can turn down some of the acrimony. It's getting tiresome, and the problem is that its distracting from the points I hear you're trying to make."
The plans face several advisory board reviews, including a second Planning Board hearing Oct. 29. The council will continue the public hearing Nov. 25.
Council member Ed Harrison said he was willing to give the committee more time. The citizens plan makes some sense on Estes Drive but not necessarily on MLK Boulevard, he said.

Keira appears twice in the latest issue of US Weekly (with Bachelorette Jen on the cover). The first appearance mentions that she will be starring in the up-coming
(there's a nice pic of her at the Euro KA premiere that goes along with it).
The second appearance is a little more pithy. She's featured on the "Star Beauty: Best of the Red Carpet" page, with tips on star-like makeup. There are three headshots of her (one from the Euro KA premiere, one from the US premiere, and one from the Asprey store re-opening). It shows you what makeup some makeup artist likes to use on her and the snip-it had this to say"

"I love to play up Keira's eyes -- she has tons of lashes!" says makeup artist Sue Devitt, who defined Keira's lash lines with a brown pencil and dusted a gold shadow over her brow bones for the June 28 NYC premiere.
Hairstylist Richard Marin cut layers and bangs to "frame her high cheekbones."

Bears S Chris Harris was hurting after Chicago's 35-24 victory over the Seahawks on Sunday. He injured his hip while making a tackle in the first quarter and was relegated to the sideline in the second half after trying to play through the pain for a while.
A wise veteran, Harris said he suppressed his instinct to try to tough it out and take the risk of costing the Bears their first postseason win in four years by not making plays because he was at less than 100 percent.
In front of his locker after the game, a reporter asked him if he thought he would be able to play next week. He could have hesitated or decided not to speculate, but he didn't do either.
"My leg would have to be cut off for me to miss next week," Harris said.
He was joking. I think.
The tone of Harris' response will resonate with the type of people who start to see red when the Packers' green and gold comes into view. Some Bears fans might give a limb of their own for a conference title win over Green Bay.
Considering the league's oldest rivals will be squaring off with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line, this NFC championship game doesn't need much extra hype. Yet, Sunday's battle at Soldier Field between the Bears and Packers will get it.
It's only the second time the two clubs have met in the postseason — the last time was in 1941 — and for some fans of the two teams, this game will be bigger than the Super Bowl.
"With Green Bay, the hype is going to be there," Bears QB Jay Cutler acknowledged. "With the rivalry and what it is, the magnitude of the game. We're going to have to do the same thing we did last week. We can't blow this out of proportion.
"It's still a football game."
Cutler is right. It's a team the Bears already have beaten once and have matched up against twice this season, including earlier this month in Week 17 of the regular season. He just has to hope that his teammates completely buy in to that mindset. That said, good luck selling the "just another game" approach outside of Halas Hall during the next week.
There are no blinders powerful enough to ignore what a win on Sunday would mean to everyone who feels like they have a stake in this rivalry. And because of that, the Bears will have to strike a delicate balance between acknowledging the moment and not allowing the weight of it to distract them from preparing to play a Packers team that a lot of people think is much better than they are.
Of course, head coach Lovie Smith has done nothing but add lighter fluid to the fire of the Bears-Packers rivalry during his tenure. He said beating the Packers twice a year was his main goal at his first press conference seven years ago, and he was criticized for not saying that collecting Super Bowl trophies was his priority.
He didn't suddenly change course after beating Seattle or try to minimize what was about to happen.
"It just doesn't get any better as I see it," Smith said. "... The Packers and Bears to finish it up, that's how it should be."
Perhaps he forgot to mention that the Bears and Packers are not going to finish it up on Sunday — there's still one more game after that, on Feb. 6 in North Texas.
But in Chicago and Green Bay, at least for some people, the Super Bowl is being played early this year.

Why backlinks are (or not) the weapon to snatch the free search engine traffic for your website?
By John, CEO of xrumerservice.org
Imagine your exact reaction when your website attracts thousands of laser targeted visitors from search engines daily. As you already know that even a below average website can produce great richness when getting good traffic, possibilities for your website are endless because you have clearly shown your care and seriousness towards your website by coming to this page. I can see you ask me that you have tried endless methods to drive traffic but none of them managed to increase your website traffic. Well, as every word from this page travels to your mind you'll discover the source for endless traffic waiting for you to harvest, enjoy and, smile your way to the bank.
........In 2 minutes, you're going to be in a position from where you can decide and drive as much targeted traffic as you want and whenever you want. Have you ever wondered why most of the website owners keep failing when it comes to attracting the targeted traffic; Let's face another harsh reality that there are only 2 ways to drive traffic to your website:
You're absolutely right thinking that both of these ways are out of the reach of website owners imposing either money factor or time factor. But I would like to draw your attention to a rarely discussed fact that if it's so tough then how others succeed driving huge traffic when starting months or even years after you started your online journey? Relax, the answer is quite simple that these very few and selected group of website owners know something that you don't. I'm going to reveal that in a moment to you... Listen closely. You can hire the best graphic designer for your website and can use the best platform for it...Heck, you may even provide the best product and/or service in your industry but all this won't matter a thing unless your website is visited by real interested people because these are the people who take out their credit cards and spend their hard earned money to enjoy what you're providing. Therefore, it's your work to make it as easy for your prospects to find you on internet as possible. Listen closely. You can hire the best graphic designer for your website and can use the best platform for it...Heck, you may even provide the best product and/or service in your industry but all this won't matter a thing unless your website is visited by real interested people because these are the people who take out their credit cards and spend their hard earned money to enjoy what you're providing. Therefore, it's your work to make it as easy for your prospects to find you on internet as possible.
You're ready for success, aren't you? Good!
The Secret Revealed!
Obviously, there is only one solution to your problem of not getting desired traffic and that solution is finding a way that sits in between the above 2 situations. That means a way that is not as costly as online advertising and not as time consuming as building backlinks to rank higher is search engine rankings. You know what I mean..don't you? Okay, this way of attracting traffic is known as - "Backlinks on Automation".
Now, if you're feeling, "Oh, that's where rubber meets the road as that's the tough part!" then don't panic as I promised you that it all would be painless for you and will be served to you on a silver platter. Ok, ok...before moving ahead, let me secretly speak into your ear that you will never need to know anything technical about using any software, maintaining server or even searching for the places to get the backlinks from and your website will never get any negative results using it. Feeling a little eased now? Fine, we could move further now.
You Can Do It Yourself too.
As you've read so far, it is clear to you now that the only possible solution for you to attract laser target traffic is by using an automated product to build loads of backlinks in no time! The best automated application/software available to build these backlinks automatically is Xrumer. Depending on the nature of your specialization, chances are that you've already heard of it. And if you haven't heard of it and thinking, "Hey, I could buy Xrumer and start building automated backlinks today!" You're absolutely right but before you go on buying Xrumer, let me tell you other factors as well that play a major role.
Using Xrumer Yourself:
That amounts to about $ 1,400 today and $810 per month. And still in the absence of fresh database of websites and not being able to change the Xrumer to suit your needs, it will be of no use to your business to use Xrumer yourself. As you're an expert in your field of business, you agree that you would like someone helping you with all this and even better do all this for you so you can concentrate on your business avoiding the learning curve and headache of using Xrumer to drive truckload of targeted traffic to your website. Since your results need to justify the results produced, this is the point where I'd like to take the honor of presenting you with my service.....
Introducing: Automated XRumer Service Exclusively For Hands-Free Backlinks Building
My name is John. I started my career in internet marketing 5 years ago as an affiliate marketer. I started using Xrumer 3 years back for my own websites and went through making various adjustments with the Xrumer to serve my needs to drive laser targeted traffic. After about 7 months of trying, testing and thousands of dollars cost, I realized that I started getting mouth-watering traffic from the backlinks I created. From my past experience with internet marketing, I also formulated a way to create fresh databases of thousands of forums to create backlinks from. Since I had 4 websites, it took me no time rank them on the first page of the Google and I still had a lot of resources left with me so I decided to offer it as a service for the people who don't want to learn using Xrumer the hard way as I did and still want to reap all the benefits of using Xrumer for their online business. To my surprise, my automated Xrumer service has been welcomed warmly by entrepreneurs like you. In the last 2 years of providing automated Xrumer backlinks service, I have served to more than 4,000 websites around and across the globe helping them rank higher in the search engines and literally crushing the competition.
Pull up a chair and hear me out: These are just a few of benefits that your online business deserves to get from my service (I'll tell you later how you can get my service for a fraction of price instead of investing big bucks and doing it all yourself
Here is what you won't be getting:
Who doesn't love more reasons to invest in profits?
I know you do! That's why I am going to give you the best reason now so that you can even close your eyes and go ahead to use my service. Would you go to a doctor for treatment if she herself is sick all the time? Would you buy my service when I promise to boost your traffic and my own website is not getting good traffic? Exactly! So here are the stats for my own website:
Click on screenshot below to see how traffic increased for my own site
from 300-400 visitors/day to 4000 visitors/day!!!
You know very well now that if I can do this to my website, I can surely do it for you as well. You just have to contact and instruct me how quickly you want to be served.
How much valuable all this is for your business?
Back when I started my online business 5 years ago if someone had offered me this Xrumer service cutting the cost of acquiring the knowledge, Xrumer, other resources and most importantly saving my years of time and frustration, I would have happily paid him $5,000 to $7,000 depending on the number of backlinks I buy to make my websites rank at the first page of the search engines generating daily sales. But what about you? How do you look at this service when you can still get it? Although at first, it may seem like a huge money to pay for the service but think about when the product and service you're providing is worth much more than that and is in high demand. Well, you can bring back that cost in just 2-3 days and whatever comes after that is pure profit.
As you know that current cost of building backlinks using the Xrumer yourself right now is $1,400 and then $810 per month (plus making changes in Xrumer and building huge database of websites), you understand the value you're going to get out of using my Xrumer backlinks service but I'm not going to ask you any amount near $1,400 as I realize that every online entrepreneur is not an established and most of them are just starting out. I wanted to make it as easy as possible for you to use my services that's why I've created different packages that you can choose based on your needs. You don't have to order now but consider instant boost in your website traffic if you do…
Now is the time for even better news for you. You'll also get 15% extra backlinks on your ordered package. But that's not all, I'm even going to offer you FREE profile links with your forum posts packages. It couldn't get any better so inject the power of my automated Xrumer backlinks service to your business now!
Stop & Read The Most Important Aspect:
As you realize the importance of this powerful service and can certainly feel the difference it would make to the way your online business performs; I'd like to bring something to your attention. It's true that this service and all of the packages offered are of great value to you and you want to order but I can not guarantee that you'll be able to secure the package you desire when you decide to buy. Why? Because I'm accepting very limited orders each month to maintain the quality of work I provide to business people like you. I'm accepting only 53 orders per month and it's not known how many packages are left now because it depends on when you're reading it so I'd like you to take the decision now to secure your spot while you still can.
Wishing You All the Wealth & Success, John, CEO of xrumerservice.org admin(at)xrumerservice.org Skype: john.doe4601 PS: Did you read above why 99% of websites fail to drive targeted traffic to generate money?

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Macy's Inc. /quotes/zigman/467976/delayed/quotes/nls/m M +1.75% said Thursday its November same-store sales fell 0.7%. The Cincinnati-based retailer was expected to report an increase of 1.5% in same-store sales, according to a survey by Thomson Reuters. "Despite the largest-volume Thanksgiving weekend in our company's history, we were not able to overcome the weak start to the month, which included the disruption of Hurricane Sandy," the company said.

Daily Iowegian
Eligible voters in the Moravia Community School District on Tuesday, April 2 with polls open from 12-8 p.m. passed the school's bond issue to expand the facility.
Appanoose County Auditor Linda Demry Tuesday night said the unofficial results show the bond issue passed. Demry said 376 voted for the measure and 184 voted against the measure, which passed by 67 percent.
A bond issue requires 60 percent plus one vote to pass.
The ballot statement approved by voters reads: "Shall the Board of Directors of the Moravia Community School District in the Counties of Appanoose, Davis, and Monroe, State of Iowa, be authorized to contract indebtedness and issue General Obligation Bonds in an amount not to exceed $2,500,000 to provide funds to build, furnish, and equip additions to its existing facility and related remodeling, and to improve the site?
The school's first attempt to to expand, called public measure A, failed as 217 voted for the measure and 222 voted against the measure during a special school election on Sept. 11, 2012. Public measure A was a $3.5 million bond issue to construct five new classrooms with restrooms and a freestanding gym.
The passed plan for the expansion of Moravia schools includes the construction of a new gymnasium connected to the northwest side of the existing complex and includes a weight room, wrestling room and home locker room. Six new classrooms with two restrooms and an utility room connected to the elementary side of the existing building would be devoted to grades four through six.
The district's bonding plan calls for the use of $1 million in LOSST money and $2.5 million in bonds for a total cost of $3.5 million.
The Moravia Community School District held information meetings Feb. 11, March 11 and March 26 to present their proposed school building addition and bonding plan.
According to Moravia schools, an increase of students means there is a need for more space for both classrooms and extracurricular activities. According to information released by the school district, with the 20-year old bond for the elementary wing paid in full this year and all-time low interest rates, now is an ideal time for the school district to add more space.

Erika Andersen, Contributor
I cover how people & organizations work, and how they can work better.
I've been thinking about the power of apology lately. I've been noticing that the people for whom I have the most respect don't hesitate to say "I was wrong," or "I'm sorry I…" On the other hand, the people I have the hardest time respecting seem constitutionally unable to take responsibility for their own mistakes. Even when they try, it comes out sounding like "I may have been partly at fault, but…" or "It may seem that I was wrong, but…" They just can't do it.
Apologizing freely requires a good deal of courage. It's not comfortable for any of us to admit an error, or to acknowledge that something we've done has caused others harm or inconvenience. So when someone truly apologizes, we know he or she is putting honesty and honor above personal comfort or self-protection. It's inspiring, and it feels brave.
I just today read a great article here on Forbes about this very topic called Creative Leadership: Humility and Being Wrong. The authors, Doug Guthrie and Sudhir Venkatesh, make a really clear and well-reasoned case for the positive power of admitting and apologizing for one's mistakes. At one point in the article, they note that:
We are frequently taught that leaders, especially aspiring leaders, should hide weaknesses and mistakes. This view is flawed. It is not only good to admit you are wrong when you are; but also it can also be a powerful tool for leaders—actually increasing legitimacy and, when practiced regularly, can help to build a culture that actually increases solidarity, innovation, openness to change and many other positive features of organizational life.
I couldn't agree more. Followers look to see whether a leader is courageous before they'll fully accept that person's leadership. If they see courage (and taking full responsibility for actions and admitting and apologizing for mistakes are two of the five key indicators of courage), it feels safe to 'sign up.' People need courageous leaders in order to feel there's someone to make the tough calls and to take responsibility for them – they need to know that the buck truly does stop with the leader. With a courageous leader, people feel protected – not that they're helpless, but they know the person in charge really has their back.
And courage begets courage: your followers are more likely to make their own tough decisions and to take responsibility for them when you model that behavior. You have their backs – so they're much more likely to have yours.
Because so many of us have a hard time apologizing, I thought it might be helpful to have an 'apology primer.' Here you go:
So there you have it. Next time you're clearly in the wrong, take deep breath, put aside your self-justification, your excuses, your blame, your defensiveness, and simply apologize. Being courageous in this way is generally scary in anticipation. But it feels great once you've done it….to you, and to those you lead.

The Seven Habits of Spectacularly Unsuccessful Executives
How To Make Work Really, Really Fun
The five basic needs are to be heard, to be respected, and to have competence, autonomy, and relatedness (purpose), the last three revealed by the research of Edward Deci and Richard Ryan. The extent to which management meets these needs dictates the level of performance employees achieve. Because of these, leadership turns out to be a science, the science of people and how they react to managerial actions and inactions.
Dear Ms. Andersen,
To your posts and question there-related to define respect 18hours ago, that your good-self have listed as you're curious: how do you define 'respect'?
With regards to above question and India based NGO,"Nari Samman Sanghathan, Regd.(Women Respect Association), I would like to offer respect definitions extracted from wikipedia, also from our daily social-civil-life and connotation:
Respect gives a positive feeling of esteem or deference for a person or other entity (such as a nation or a religion), and also specific actions and conduct representative of that esteem.
It can also be conduct in accord with a specific ethic of respect. Rude conduct is usually considered to indicate a lack of respect, disrespect, whereas actions that honor somebody or something indicate respect. Specific ethics of respect are of fundamental importance to various cultures. Respect for tradition and legitimate authority is identified by Jonathan Haidt as one of five fundamental moral values shared to a greater or lesser degree by different societies and individuals.
Signs of respect
Verbal or non-verbal
Respect is shown by many actions and by following specific actions, especially in referring to individuals.
Hand gesture
In classical India it is customary that, out of respect, when a person's foot accidentally touches a book or any written material (which are considered as a manifestation of the goddess of knowledge (Goddess Saraswati) or another person's leg, it will be followed by an apology in the form of a single hand gesture (Pranāma) with the right hand, where the offending person first touches the object with the finger tips and then the forehead and/or chest. This also applies to money, which is considered as a manifestation of the goddess of wealth (GoddessLakshmi).
(Extracted from Wikipedia)
Classical Indian offshore sign of greeting for Respect is often shown by joining/folding palms together as against western style of handshake.
UN Civil Liberties provide many freedoms and rights to individual such as "Freedom from being harassed and tortured"; the right to a fair trail to defend oneself; under the principles of "Natural Justice".
Respect and Human Dignity: We all love our own respect and dignity; while when it comes to extending the same to others; some of us; we conveniently forget; glorifying our own Ego. Thus we must try to respect others human dignity and humility too irrespective of Income and standard of living status-qua owing to discrimination and favoritism.
With Regards,
Yamini V. Tendulkar (Human Resources Professional)
Honorary Service to NGO Nari Samman Sanghathan Regd. (Women Respect Association).
How do I define respect? Good question. We all know respect when we see it so actions speak far louder than words. It's like love, much better to show great love for someone than to have a definition.
The way to greatly respect employees is to provide more than enough time for them to lodge their complaints, suggestions, and questions and to respond to those to the satisfaction of the originator in a very timely manner.
I suppose that a reasonable definition would be – A feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements. But the feeling needs to be converted into action so that the person realizes by your treatment of them that you greatly respect them.
Excellent point, Ben. In our quest to be rational and by promoting reason to being the holy grail of human activity, we have learned to suppress our emotions and our gut feeling, which is too bad because that leads us to disregard loads of important pieces of information.
Our subconscious mind has access to much more stored information (based on our life experiences) than our rational mind. Gut feeling and emotions are gateways to this type of intelligence. Examination of gut feelings and emotions can actually greatly assist us in our rational thinking (and deciding what's right and wrong) … that's why companies are now waking up and trying to develop emotional intelligence of their employees. It's about time!

Nice to hear some support for gut over reasoning. This is not understood by people in general.
Executives especially don't realize the disconnect between themselves with their reasons and their workforce with its gut level judgements. Executives rely on the ethics profession to tell them right from wrong, but since they are all well educated and no longer listen to their gut they are of no help. Thus ethics has failed to solve the problem. As you say, educated people must resurrect their gut level judgements.
Erika, Thanks for the great article on apologizing. Again some great leadership ideas were learned in the sandbox. They just may not be practiced often enough. Saying you are sorry to many leaders may fall into the post heroic leadership category and make people think that it is a "soft" form of management. It takes courage to apologize and even more to follow through with sincerity, there is nothing soft about it.
Quite true. Especially the "say how you'll fix it" part. I was lucky enough early in my career to have excellent managers who fostered an environment where it was acceptable to be wrong. You can't innovate without occasionally being wrong. And when you were, a quick admission of error, an apology to those affected and a summary of how you plan to fix it before moving on was all that was needed. Dwelling too long on any error – yours or anyone else's – only lays seed for the blame game. Sadly, this sort of managerial ecosystem seems all but extinct.

Is that Dido's dacha on the picture?
Anyways, same story here - the Americans blame Bush for Katrina, while Russians and Dido blame Putin for the flooding, business as usual, nothing to see here.
THE city of Krymsk is underwater. Late into the night on July 7th, as record levels of rainfall pounded Russia's Black Sea coast, a flash flood swept through the southern Russian region of Krasnodar. By morning much of Krymsk—a town of 57,000 people—had been leveled, thousands were homeless, and more than 170 people were dead. Most drowned in their sleep, never even aware of the water rushing toward them.
The flood is the first large-scale disaster of Vladimir Putin's third term as president. It is a test for whether the bruises he has endured back in Moscow, in his continuing political struggle with the opposition movement, will translate into damaged legitimacy in the regions, not to mention a smaller margin-of-error in times of crisis.
Disasters and accidents present Mr Putin with a set of dangers and opportunities particular to the kind of rule he has established during his 13 years in office. As for the dangers, with every new calamity and manifestation of government ineffectiveness, the image of Mr Putin as omnipotent patron and protector takes a further bruising. This is the unavoidable side-effect of centralisation. By taking control over local affairs and local officials, Mr Putin and the Kremlin end up looking responsible—whether warranted or not—when those affairs go haywire or those local officials screw up.
At the same time, however, crises give Mr Putin the opportunity to swoop in and sort things out himself. They can reaffirm, in a way, the image that he and his advisers try to craft to appeal to what Russian sociologists call the "paternalistic majority," those who are materially and psychologically dependent on the state. Thus he took to the controls of an amphibious plane to put out personally the forest fires of summer 2010. Over the weekend, he surveyed the damage to Krymsk and surrounding areas from his presidential helicopter and then issued orders to local officials on the ground.
In the immediate aftermath of the floods, the local population expressed a great deal of hostility towards regional and municipal officials. A rumour that the regional administrators had deliberately opened the Neberdzhayevskoye reservoir to save the nearby port city of Novorossiisk took on the weight of fact. The government has denied it, and independent experts who have studied the available evidence have suggested that such an explanation of the flooding is indeed unlikely. Regardless, such a level of hopeless distrust in the competency—or truthfulness—of the authorities is scarcely encouraging about the health of the relationship between state and society in the Russian regions.
For his part, Alexander Tkachyov, the governor of Krasnodar, admitted that officials had known of the possibility of a flood at 10pm on July 6th, many hours before floodwaters rushed through Krymsk. But few people, if any, were warned. (The head of Russia's Emergency Situations ministry said "mistakes" were made in spreading the word.) The callousness, or at least tone-deafness, that seems to be a hallmark of Russian regional officialdom does not help the image of the authorities. At a tense meeting with victims and their families, Mr Tkachyov said of the warnings that never came, "What, were we supposed to go up to each person?"
A few lower-level bureaucrats have already been sacrificed. Both the mayor of Krymsk and the head of Krymsk district have been put on administrative leave while federal authorities look into allegations of official malfeasance. Blame may stay as localised as possible. But if higher-ranking officials such as Mr Tkachyov lose their posts or the government's investigation reveals big gaps in the state's response, then something will indeed be changing in Mr Putin's Russia, with the Kremlin showing that is more and more sensitive to (and perhaps afraid of) the demands of local populations.
Perhaps the most palpable side-effect of the flooding has been the appearance of self-organised charity initiatives, as money and donated goods have poured into Krymsk and surrounding areas in recent days. Volunteers from Moscow and elsewhere are searching through wrecked homes and distributing supplies. Russian-language Twitter is full of people offering rides down to Krasnodar or posting what provisions are most needed and how to pass them along. And the disaster has resulted in a kind of tactical peace between government representatives and opposition figures, with police and civil-society activists working together to hand out supplies and politicians from United Russia coordinating relief efforts with opposition leaders.
It is still too early to know if any of this will have a long-lasting resonance. The groups of young men who banded together to deliver aid during the 2010 fires, for example, showed a remarkable capacity for information exchange and organisational management—but their new civic collectives disappeared as quickly as they were formed.
In Krymsk, meanwhile, the hot summer sun is starting to burn off the floodwaters, revealing a dank soup of wreckage to be cleared and corpses to be identified. More volunteers are needed, the regional administration said in a statement, and the job isn't easy. "To carry out work in difficult field circumstances, it is essential to have physically strong people," it read.

Russia and Putin wil have a chance only in case of an extremely close alliance with Germany
Germany is the rightless outlaw and underdog in the rest of Europe.
So Russia can get back its old strength only by German technics and German support.
Russia has honesty and the the resources.
Both countries are the most hated countries in the world.
So the alliance is nothing but clear.
Putin knows very well.
It is a matter of months or only weeks and Germany will leave the euro-Zone including the coffee-meeting institution called of Nato and join with its best ally Germany ever had in its history.
Europe must disband and get again divided in two spheres as it has been a natural and just result seine 1945.
The iron curtain as a wall of defence against the Western warmongers was a necessity and a mere case of self-defence.
The Red Army was a guarantee for humanity and human rights.
Meawhile, on a pretext of attending a working meeting with Yanukovych in Yalta (trying to convince Yanek that Ukraine should join the proposed Eurasian trade block under Moscow leadership) Vlad Putin was seen preoccupied with a friendly visit to an annual mass ritual of Russian bikers in Sevastopol where he is well known. Some media even reported that, at the conclusion of his meetings with Yanukovych, Vlad Putin challenged him to a joint bike excursion on the rocky Crimean coast. No dates have been set.
Russian media has shown photos of Vlad Putin shaking hands with some Russian bikers while admiring their girlfriends attending their annual mass 'jamboree' near Sevastopol. Why not ask ('order' ?) those Russian bikers to donate a percentage of their 'jamboree' expenses to the flood victims who lost members of their families, their homes, other properties ?
Now the nature has given a better chance to the Western Media to blast Putin!
The West will blast Putin as less as they were blasting anyone.
The Red Army stood in East Germany more than 40 years and nobody of you Western cowards ever dared to start only the most inferior attack against the invincible Red Army.
You in the West you are nothing but a bunch of losing cowards.
Perhaps Russia will give you that kind of a lesson each of you needs.
Mr. Putin is not a fool as each of your ridiculous inept and monolingual politicians:)
Your politicians are not even good enough playing in an extremely lousy and sad comedy.
"Empty vessel sounds much".
May the dead rest in piece. Sir, this is a very ill-informed article. Please look on the map and you'll find Krymsk 80km away from Black Sea coast. Youll also find Neberdzhayevskoye reservoir between Novorossiysk and Krymsk and Varnavinskoe reservoir just above Krymsk. Pardon me for my language but only the stupid will believe officials saying a rapid rainfall created 7metre high wave that levelled the town. In a normal country we would witness unrest and at least jailing of local officials. Me personally, I'd hang that son of b**ch Tkachev if I was affected. May God save Russia (and CIS), locals will tolerate just about everything, centuries of slavery + USSR have had its impact. God, it's 170 dead due to negligence.
Where did you see the "7 metre wave"?
I didn't, that's what officials said and local media.
Incompetent administration
So, why didn't Putin's government prevent a devastation which had previously hit the same area in 2002 with flooding, taking some 100 lives. Alexander Tkachyov, governor of the Krasnodar region ten years ago took no preventive measures and had no early warning systems put in place.
With hours of warning of a possible disaster in Krymsk either Emergency Situations Minister Puchkov or Putin himself should have ordered an evacuation. But in Russia nobody cared.
Of course no one cared! All systems are destroyed. When about 20 years ago my father worked in municipal services and there was a risk of flood, they checked the water level in our water storage several times per day and were ready to start evacuation in any moment, although there was no risk of any such serious flood. But now in all municipal and government structures there are only people without any understanding of their duties and any wish to understand them. So if some day the Kremlin crashed down, they would say only "sorry, but what could we do?"
What happened to the companies of PUTIN-JUGEND from Moscow, Volgograd, Stavropol, Sochi, and other cities that were supposed to be always ready to come and help their LEADER-for life ( aka Fuehrer !)
"What happened to the companies of PUTIN-JUGEND from Moscow, Volgograd, Stavropol, Sochi..."
Nothing happened -- collecting aid for victims of the flood:
Molodaya Guardiya has done nothing to save drawning children in Saratov region !
Putin blamed the flooding on W...that's how Obama handled it in the US
According to the article, "At a tense meeting with victims and their families, Mr Tkachyov said of the warnings that never came, 'What, were we supposed to go up to each person? ' "
Ordering fire engines to blow horns, while circling the city would probably be sufficient. Why didn't he order this?
Ludwik Kowalski, who remembers frequent WWII alarms--GRAZHDANE WOZDUSHNAJA TREWOGA-- in 1941, when German airplanes were approaching.
May the dead rest in peace.
World weather catastrophes can be seen as simple problems of distribution: Some areas get too much water, others too much sun and heat, others too much wind, others not enough cold.
Parched areas of Africa, India, Mid East and the American South would have loved to have the Russian rains.
Global Warming can be seen as mis-distribution of cloud cover and rain. In America, while the Midwest and South bake => The West Coast, Alaska and Pacific Northwest are having record rainfall and a cooler summer.
Alternative solution to Global Warming: Redistribute the clouds, precipitation and cold fronts to areas of heat waves and drought.
Moving a Cloud is easier than moving a Continent.
But it's only possible to move clouds several dozen kilometres away, not thousands of kilometres.
But I like the idea =)
If you have your head in the clouds, that solution should be very simple
Actually, this kind of (God forgive my callousness) small scale disaster is probably every dictator's wet dream. I bet he will once again ride (bare-chested) to the rescue of his little people, while "punishing those responsible!" (some poor powerless local bureaucrats)
It works for 'leaders' of all political persuasions, and aspirations for that matter. Obama and the Colorado fires spring immediately to mind. No surprise that I see a lot of 'leaders' here since I live in the West. We have four seasons here in California: Fire, Flood, Earthquake, and Riot. Leaders are always trooping around 'doing something' about it! (God alone knows what, we sure don't).
s/Frying in Hell, California.
Putin, here begins your count down.
This looks like the kind of situation that is made for Putin...

Microsoft may have exited gadget show prematurelyBy MICHAEL LIEDTKE
and RYAN NAKASHIMA
The Associated Press | January 12,2013AP Photo
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, left, and Qualcomm CEO Paul Jacobs talk about various Windowsbased products that utilize Qualcomm technology during Jacobs keynote address at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.LAS VEGAS Microsoft may have relinquished its starring role in Americas gaudiest gadget show a year too early.
After 13 straight years in the spotlight, Microsofts decision to scale back its presence at the International CES deprived the software maker of a prime opportunity to explain and promote a new generation of redesigned computers running its radically remade Windows operating system.
The missed chance comes at a time when Microsoft Corp. could use a bully pulpit to counter perceptions that Windows 8 isnt compelling enough to turn the technological tide away from smartphones and tablets running software made by Apple Inc. and Google Inc.
They needed to be at this show in a very big way to show the progress they have made and what is it about 2013 that is going to make consumers really gravitate toward a Windows 8 machine, said technology industry analyst Patrick Moorhead.
Since Windows 8 went on sale in late October, there has been little evidence to suggest the operating system will lift the personal computer industry out of a deepening downturn. Worldwide PC shipments during the final three months of last year dropped 6 percent from the same period in 2011, according to the research firm International Data Corp. The dip occurred despite the bevy of Windows 8 laptops and desktop machines that were on sale during the holiday shopping season.
Microsoft, though, insists things worked out at just fine during CES, even though it didnt have a booth and only had a smattering of executives at the sprawling trade show, which drew some 156,000 people to Las Vegas.
The company, which is based in Redmond, Wash., decided it no longer makes sense to invest as much time and money in CES as it once did. The company says the shows early January slot doesnt mesh with the timing of its major product releases. Windows 8, for instance, was still more than nine months away from hitting the market when Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer kicked off last years CES with a keynote address that was billed as the companys swan song at the show.
We are very comfortable with our decision, Microsoft spokesman Frank Shaw said. It has been a productive show for us this year.
Microsofts retreat from CES puzzled some attendees curious about Windows 8. For instance, when Michael Sullivan showed up at computer maker Asus booth, which was stocked with Windows 8 computers, there was no one around to discuss the machines or the software.
This is unusual, said Sullivan, CEO of computer sales firm Spec 4 International Inc. I dont understand why a successful company isnt bringing executives here.
Asus invited some CES attendees to learn more about Windows 8 at a nearby hotel, away from the shows main trade show.
NPD DisplaySearch analyst Richard Shim thought Microsoft should have had more people helping to staff its partners booths because, he said, no one understands how Windows 8 works better than the company that made it.
Whenever you have a new product rolling out, its always helpful to communicate your message directly as opposed to counting on your partners, Shim said.
Microsoft elected to curtail its CES presence largely because the shows marketing value has diminished. In recent years, companies such as Apple and Google have shown that they can command more attention by holding their own exclusive events to unveil products just before they go on sale. Neither Apple nor Google had a major presence at CES.
In a sign that it is embracing its rivals strategy, Microsoft staged separate events last year in Los Angeles and New York to unveil Surface, a Windows-powered tablet computer, and Windows 8.
Nevertheless, both Shim and Moorhead believe would have been better off waiting until after this years CES to surrender its top billing on the marquee. That way, Ballmer could have used this years opening CES keynote to talk about Windows 8s advantages as a finished product.
Ballmer could have talked about the operating system more completely and built more hype around it, especially since Microsoft has been getting beaten up so far over Windows 8s performance, Shim said.
When Ballmer ended Microsofts 13-year streak of kicking off CES, he was only able to provide a peek at a makeover of the operating system that was still months away from being completed.
Microsoft touts Windows 8 as a breakthrough that will enable people to straddle the divide between personal computers and tablets. The revamped operating system is built to respond to the touch of a finger so it can work on tablet computers while still retaining the ability to respond to commands from keyboards and mice on laptop and desktop machines. To take advantage of Windows 8s versatility, many PC makers are building convertible devices that can work as a tablet or a laptop.
But reviews of the new operating system have been lukewarm. Critics have been panning it as too confusing and cumbersome.
Microsoft used part of a CES technology forum presented by J.P. Morgan to try to build more enthusiasm. The company revealed that 60 million copies of Windows 8 have been sold so far, putting it on the same pace as the previous version Windows 7 at the same juncture of its release. But its unclear how many of those Windows 8 licenses are installed on computers that are still sitting in stores or warehouses.
Investors have been so unimpressed with the reception to the new Windows products that Microsofts stock price has slipped 4 percent since the operating systems Oct. 26 release. Meanwhile, the bellwether Standard & Poors 500 index has gained 4 percent.
A clearer picture of the early reception to Windows 8 may emerge Jan. 24 when Microsoft is scheduled to report its earnings for the three months spanning the holiday shopping season.
Although he wasnt the main attraction, Ballmer made a cameo appearance during Qualcomm Inc. CEO Paul Jacobs opening address at this years show.
Ballmers acceptance of Qualcomms invitation to join Jacobs on stage surprised some people because Qualcomm has emerged as a threat to Intel Corp., a longtime Microsoft ally that makes most of the processors in Windows computers. Instead of touting Windows 8, Ballmer spent his time hailing a streamlined version of the operating system, dubbed Windows RT, which runs on tablets using processors that rely on technology designed by ARM, another Intel rival.
Microsofts top executive in charge of technical strategy appeared on stage at Samsung Electronics invitation to reveal a Windows phone featuring a flexible color display. The electronics of the phone are in a little box, and the thin, bendable screen is attached to it, looking much like a piece of paper.
That left Intel and other Microsoft partners, including PC makers Samsung, Sony, Asus, Acer and Hewlett-Packard Co., to do most of the boasting about Windows 8 at their own CES booths.
Our partners are doing that very effectively, Shaw said. You couldnt walk through the (CES) floor without seeing people doing really interesting things with Windows 8.
But there were other times when it appeared Microsofts partners could have used some help.
Sony exhibitor John Guzman, for instance, seemed stumped when an Associated Press reporter visited the companys CES booth and asked whether a machine running Windows 8 or the more advanced Windows 8 Pro would be a better fit for journalistic work.
That is more of a Microsoft question, Guzman said, adding that no Microsoft representatives were around.MORE IN National / World BusinessWASHINGTON Racing to adjourn for the summer, the Senate scheduled major votes Tuesday on...

DERRY — The town is getting ready to welcome its newest restaurant.
Panera Bread will officially open for business June 29 at its new location at 17 Manchester Road.
The bakery/cafe eatery is a franchisee of PR Restaurants LLC. It's part of the town's new Pinkerton Place retail area, which also includes the Woof Meow Family Pet Center and a Goodwill store that opened this spring.
"We're thrilled about the grand opening of our newest bakery/cafe and sharing the warmth of Panera with the Derry community," co-owner David Peterman said. "As this becomes Panera's newest home, our cafe also looks forward to giving back to our customer and neighbors." Peterman said that "giving back" would include participating with the Greater Derry Boys and Girls Club on community projects.
Panera has named the local club its Operation Dough/Nation partner.
Since its founding, Panera has been an active participant in the community.
At the end of every day, the cafe will donate its unsold bread and baked goods to local agencies that may have a need.
Panera first appeared before town boards last year and plans for the Route 28/Manchester Road widening project took shape.
The new business boosts town officials' hopes of seeing more economic development in that area.
A new Wal-Mart superstore is under construction nearby and is set to open in September.
Panera owns and franchises more than 1,500 businesses around the nation. PR Restaurants LLC operates 31 franchise locations in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Maine.
Derry Panera Bread will be open Monday through Saturday, from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday, from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
