Six Hard Facts Every CEO Needs to Know About Employee Engagement
Posted on February 12th, 2016
Written by: Tom Devane
Part I: Disengaged Employees Cost You Money
The war on talent. Lean organizations. Fierce competition. If you're like most CEOs, you're well aware of the challenges facing your business. You've tried quality. You've tried Lean Six Sigma. But in today's environment, there's only one sustainable competitive advantage. Employee engagement.
Let's start with a definition of employee engagement.
At WorkplaceDynamics, we define employee engagement as a powerful connection. A connection that results in employees' contribution of discretionary effort and energy that benefits both your organization—and the individual. As the executive leader, you notice employee engagement in individuals who are passionate about what they do. Employees who are dedicated to your organization, who are not out looking for new opportunities. Employees who give 110% to your organization because they want to.
Here are six hard facts every CEO needs to know about employee engagement:
- Disengaged employees cost you money.
- "Show me the money" isn't where it's at.
- Disengaged employees are "silent killers".
- Ignoring disengaged employees hurts your bottom line.
- Disengaged employees aren't HR's problem to fix.
- Engagement isn't just for frontline employees and middle managers.
This series will discuss each of the six facts, but let's start here:
Fact #1: Disengaged employees cost you money
Retention cost
Disengaged employees are far more likely to leave your organization than those who are engaged. And make no mistake, employee turnover is costly. Research shows the cost to replace senior managers is 1.5 – 2 times their annual salary1. Similarly, the replacement cost for employees and team members is 70% of the annual salary by the time recruitment costs, productivity time, onboarding, etc. are considered2.
Picture this: You've got 10 disengaged middle managers who left your organization for different opportunities. Conservatively speaking, that's $750,000 worth of talent that just walked out the front door. Ouch! But even worse, what if they don't leave?
Imagine the same group of middle managers plopped in their chairs. They stay, disengaged, unenthusiastic, and lacking passion. They could also be compelled to undermine your efforts and spread their misery like a cancer. Now that's painful.
Productivity cost
Disengaged employees cost you in terms of productivity, too. Research reveals organizations with a high-engagement culture outperform others by more than 20%. And let's not forget, productivity is a key indicator of an organization's potential for long-term growth.
This time, let's say you have five disengaged managers on your staff. With the unproductive dollars, you could acquire a new, engaged manager who kicks the strategy ball forward. But keep in mind, this leaves you with one true contributor when you could've had two.
Consider a larger organization with 100 disengaged employees. It could've acquired the talent to staff two full departments of ten high performers each—or opted to invest the money for a capital project or bonus distribution.
And that's not all
A lack of engagement will cost your organization in other ways too, including quality, safety, and customer retention. According to Gallup:
- Quality is 41% lower in organizations with disengaged employees.
- Safety incidents are 41% fewer when employees are engaged.
- Customer satisfaction is reported to be 10% higher in engaged organizations.
Next time, tune in for hard fact #2: Show Me the Money Isn't Where It's At.

eBay: Creating a Marketplace for Engaged Workers
Posted on February 8th, 2016
Written by: WorkplaceDynamics
Innovations in Attracting and Retaining Top Talent
eBay, the company synonymous with e-commerce, continues to innovate, and not just with the data it manages and the transactions it oversees. It's innovating how it attracts and engages employees. Look no further than Austin, Texas as an example.
The company, headquartered in San Jose, California, has about 20,000 employees worldwide. Yet even in its smaller locations like Austin, which has about 400 employees, a deep investment in employee engagement is helping the company stay focused.
An engaged workforce is the key to retaining top talent
As a business, eBay is no youngster, recently celebrating its 20th anniversary. Part retailer, part technology powerhouse, it continues to transform how people shop and do business worldwide. As a workplace, eBay leadership understands employees are the foundation of its success. The company recently announced expanded family leave benefits for new mothers and fathers as well as employees who are caring for sick family members.
Leadership believes an engaged workforce is key to employee retention in a competitive environment, said Zachary Jacobson, General Manager. He's part of the Austin team that has been a perennial winner on the Top Workplaces list. In 2015, it ranked No. 26 among mid-size organizations (150 to 499 employees) in the Austin area.
A talent war in the local job market creates competition for good employees, and eBay competes for all levels of talent, Jacobson says. On top of that, the recent split of PayPal from eBay has added another sense of importance to the efforts. Given the strong competition for top talent and the perceived threat of layoffs, eBay wants to ensure it nurtures as strong a workplace culture as possible to retain employees.
Success is a "we" thing at eBay
Among its leadership principles, Jacobson said:
- Success is a "we" thing at eBay.
- Employees should engage directly to build the culture.
- Employees will want to do what they love to do.
To support those principles, eBay's leadership in Austin decided to create—and support—four different committees from which employees could choose to get involved:
- Branding: build the eBay brand as a leading corporate citizen in central Texas
- Social innovation: connect with coworkers to support and partner with charitable causes
- Engagement: drive employee loyalty
- Communications: improve company communication
Employees could choose whether or not to get involved with a committee. Leadership provided the resources, support, and mentors; the rest was up to the employees, including an action plan and monthly review meetings. "We empowered our employees to do great things and to apply their passion to something meaningful," Jacobson said.
An investment in employee engagement speaks volumes
The Austin team recently measured employee engagement through the WorkplaceDynamics survey, and the results did not disappoint. In anonymous comments, Austin's employees repeatedly said they felt appreciated, motivated, and supported.
"The leadership is awesome and there's peace of mind knowing people stand 100% behind you, whether it's a manager or a teammate," one employee said. "eBay encourages me to be the best I can be. I love eBay and I love what we do," another commented.
Leadership's efforts are showing results. Workplace positivity among eBay's Austin employees measured 12 percent higher than the benchmark for the information technology industry.
"Never before have I worked for a company that takes employee engagement so seriously," Jacobson said. "We want to promote the eBay brand as being a great place to work in and around Austin, Texas."

Memphis Grizzlies vs. Denver Nuggets - 4/4/14
Denver Nuggets (32-42) at Memphis Grizzlies (44-30)
NBA Basketball: Friday, April 4, 2014 at 7:00 pm (FedExForum)
The Line: Memphis Grizzlies -- Over/Under: See the Latest Odds
The Memphis Grizzlies play host to the Denver Nuggets on NBA Friday.
The Nuggets have lost five of their last seven but were able to snap a four-game skid in fine fashion, by trouncing the Pelicans by 137-107. Kenneth Faried scored a career-high 34 points while Aaron Brooks made six threes for his 24 points as the Nuggets shot out to an early 40-26 lead at the end of the first quarter and never looked back. As a team, the Nuggets shot 56.5 percent from the field, 15 of 27 from the three-point line and made 34 assists in easily their best offensive performance of the season. With the win, Denver improved to 33-42 on the season and 20-18 at home where they had lost their last two.
USA TODAY Sports
Meanwhile, the Grizzlies have lost three of their last four and will be looking to bounce back from a 102-88 upset against the Timberwolves on Wednesday. Marc Gasol had 18 points while Courtney Lee added 14, but the rest of the team struggled mightily against the lottery-bound Wolves. The combination of Zach Randolph and Mike Conley combined for just 11 points on four for 23 shooting which is the main reason that the Grizzlies shot just 42 percent from the field. Memphis will be so disappointed with that loss because it now means that they have a tied record with both Dallas and Phoenix which puts major pressure on them for their last six games of the regular season.
In ATS trends, the Nuggets are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games overall and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games following a win, while the Grizzlies are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games but 0-5 ATS in their last five games overall.
Head to head, the Home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings and the Under is 6-2 in the last eight meetings overall.
Given the fact that the Grizzlies need this win so much more than the Nuggets, I'll definitely be tipping them in this one as long as the line is reasonable.
The line is a couple points more than I thought it would be, but it's still Memphis in this one for me.

Its been a week and Im going crazy with worry.

|AnnB - Fri Oct 10, 2008 8:56 pm
Im just wondering why noone is answering, is this an active form Im desperate for comments or concerns the doctor thinks its a carcinoid tumour and she is schedueled for surgery in a week, any comments would be appreciated thank you
|Dr. Safaa Mahmoud - Fri Dec 05, 2008 3:45 pm
Sorry for the delay in replying.
Pneumonia do not usually present with a solitary lung mass. It is also unusual to occur in young healthy adult with no underlying cause. It is a serious infection that usually mandates hospitalization and IV antibiotic. Only mild to moderate form of infections can be treated outpatient with adeqaute oral antibiotic therapy.
Stopping medication early or inadequate antibiotic course may cause recurrence of pneumonia as well as complications like lung abscess.
From the brief history you have mentioned, I understood that she has been diagnosed with (pneumonia) for some time that was not resolved on antibiotics then the presence of a persistent mass was discovered while being on antibiotic treatment for pneumonia. I assume also that sputum culture and sensitivity was done and antibiotics are chosen based on the results.
In patients with no history, symptoms, or clinical signs suggestive of malignancy, many physicians would start with a course of antibiotic therapy and follow up their patients with both clinical examination and radiological assessment.
If their symptoms improve with radiological evidence of the resolution of the lung lesion(s), patients continue their treatment and are followed up till complete recovery of both the symptoms and the radiologic findings.
If symptoms or radiologic findings proves persistent or recurrent disease, more investigations are needed like bronchoscope and biopsy.
So, patients with unusual presentations should be excluded for atypical forms on pneumonias, TB, as well as tumours.
Carcinoids tumors are typically an indolent type of neuroendocrine tumours. They develop within the large airways and can cause bronchial obstruction. This would result in atelectasis, recurrent pneumonia, or pulmonary abscess. Radionuclide studies specific for this type of tumours (using somatostatin analogues) are used to diagnose and stage the disease.
These tumours also may secrete neuroendocrine substances in the blood, although uncommon. Patients should be tested and looked for these substances like 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), ACTH, growth hormone (GH), and other hormones, especially if their symptoms are suggestive.
Symptoms of one of the following makes carcinoid tumour more suspicious like cough, wheezing, blood-tinged sputum, pneumonia that is resistant to antibiotics, recent weight gain, facial flushing or diarrhea.
Physicians can make the diagnosis based on both the bronchoscopy and the radiologic findings.
The primary treatment is surgical resection and is the only curative approach in non metastatic patients.
It is essential to follow up with her doctors to complete her investigations for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Hope you find this information useful.
Best regards.

what a ride!
San Cristobal de Las Casas Travel Blog› entry 12 of 18 › view all entries
I got up early, really early and stood in the freezing cold waiting for the shuttle. I hated taking this option not only because it was way expensive... well beyond what I wanted to pay for transport, but I personally hate tourist buses loaded with whities.. The other option was changing chicken buses about five times just to get to the border of Mexico in which I would have to take a taxi, then another bus and yet another.. There would be no way I could do it in one day and I was not quite comfortable traveling in Guatemala especially after recent incidents and the stories I had heard. Although I hadn't had any bad experiences so far, just traveling the two hours to Chichi to the market, I had to go through two of the bus transfer areas the same I would have had to take if I had decided to chicken bus it to the border.
I decided to go the tourist route and get myself on a direct bus from Panajachel to San Cristobal. At first it was only four of us and I was quite happy with that.... an Italian couple and a guy from Canada who was an obsessive juggler. He was dorky, with long hair, a woman's scarf on his head and pajama paints, but he was cool.. said little and slowly ate a bag of nachos the whole time.
Then we get to a meeting point about two hours into the trip and pick up another group of four whities... Great! We proceed to the border, the guy is flying and Guatemala has windy rough roads comparable to Colombia. Thank god he was a good driver, but we had a couple of close calls. The scenary was magnificent, high altitudes and incredibly cold. We got to the border and I realized they had a really good racket going on here... Two points with heavy tourism and direct bus linking them at the border with the exchange takes place. It was like we were currency and a simple transaction was made and each side swapped whitie for whitie... more or less of equal value.
We all clamored into the big white bus waiting on the other side. An we were off.... A bus full of whities, white faces pressed against the window camara in hand snapping off shots of the mountains, the people, the pueblos and the poverty as we race on by. I couldn't help thinking how horrible this all is.
Disturbing to say the least. I kept thinking the transfer and death of cultures. And we do our part...not only the foulness of our government, but the corruption of theirs. As we pass and I look in their eyes I see shame and I feel it. Slowly their leaving behind their customs and ways of life to adopt ours. Not only is the U.S. itching to get in to conform everyone into consumer glutons, western consumerism chokes them with plastic, lures them to the cities were they can be part of feeding the machine instead of themselves... I saw some women drawing water from a well, were once they probably used clay handmade pots, they now are using plastic pots with the same shape and decorative features of their traditional pots.... Slowly are the days going were people around the world no longer know how to make things, but have learned far too easily how to buy ´things´. They want more things, they want a better life. Not only has the US forced these countries to open in exchange for debt payments, the demand has been created ode to advertisements.... oh advertisements.... those where everyone is squeaky clean and happy, wearing western clothes, living in western style homes, using western products.....made in China. Yes, it is they who want the better life.
And we're doing our part... I'm doing my part. As I travel in this white bus and look in their eyes, I see hate and envy. We sit there in A/C luxury buses snapping off pictures as we're hooked into our ipods. If it weren't for that strange glare and mirrored back image of our faces, we almost could pull it off.... that we actually traveled and not just through. We are comfortable moving from city to city, country to country in our luxury buses. Rarely do we speak to them apart from asking directions and haggling over prices in artisan markets. We safely keep our distance. hidden protected and well traveled...
They look and must say to themselves poverty sucks! Much more intense are the pangs of hunger and the feeling of lack when you see wealth whiz by in a big white bus with plump with faces clicking off photos so they can tick off each country ´Been there, Done that´. We feel good about ourselves as we drop a few dollars and add more notches to our belts.
Hate and envy, traditional clothes are dropped, farms abandoned, family left behind to pursue the dream for a better life in the city. With enough hard work, they too can have addidas shoes and puma hats, ipods and digital cameras and maybe if they're lucky one day they can climb on a big white bus and take pictures of those people with their strange ways....as they pass life by.

The woman's estranged husband kidnapped her at her home on Addison Street, then drove her to his residence in the 1100 block of Scott Street. Cops spotted his car parked near the residence. No one answered when they knocked on his door, police said.
Cops surrounded the residence, and a SWAT team entered the home. They arrested the suspect, a 46-year-old man, without further incident, police said.
The woman was freed.
The police department's domestic violence unit took over the case, police said.

The ACC coaches aren't the only ones aiming for a high winning percentage this season.
I'm looking to make a statement. On the national level. Bring some respect to this conference.
It all starts today.
Every Thursday during the season, I'll give you my predictions for each game. I'll also update you with my weekly winning percentage. Think you can do better? Feel free to play along, but do so at your own risk.
The only predictable thing about the ACC is just how unpredictable it can be.
Here's to starting the season strong, ACC:
Boston College 24, Northwestern 21: The Eagles will prove that their offense has indeed gotten better, and quarterback Chase Rettig will look much better than he did a year ago. Northwestern will give BC problems, but the Achilles injury to quarterback Dan Persa will be a factor.
Clemson 45, Troy 10: The Tigers' new offense won't look flawless, but Troy's marginal defense will make it a successful debut for first-year starting quarterback Tajh Boyd. Troy has had five straight winning seasons but needs to replace its top five receivers from 2010.
Florida State 42, Louisiana-Monroe 7: FSU coach Jimbo Fisher doesn't mess around. He'll score as many points as the clock allows, and get as many guys experience as he can. During its time in the ACC, FSU has never lost a season opener to a nonconference opponent (8-0), and that streak won't end this weekend.
Miami 28, Maryland 24: Yes, Miami will be without eight suspended players, but the Canes will come out fired up and using the NCAA investigation as motivation. While not an ideal situation, the backups are capable of a win, and quarterback Stephen Morris will help take some pressure off a depleted defense.
NC State 35, Liberty 10: The Wolfpack has won 20 straight games against FCS competition, and first-year starting quarterback Mike Glennon should keep that streak alive. NC State's defense can't overlook Liberty, though, as the Flames were second in total offense and third in scoring in the FCS last year.
Wake Forest 21, Syracuse 17: Jim Grobe is 5-1 against the Big East during his tenure at Wake Forest, but Syracuse is coming off its first winning season since 2001. The Deacs will have to win the battle up front, as Syracuse returns four starting offensive linemen.
Duke 35, Richmond 17: Duke coach David Cutcliffe will have the edge in coaching and talent, but the Blue Devils can expect Richmond's best shot. Former Richmond coach Latrell Scott resigned on Tuesday morning and Wayne Lineburg has been appointed interim.
Georgia Tech 42, Western Carolina 10: When Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson was head coach at Georgia Southern, he went 5-0 against Western Carolina and outscored the FCS opponent by an average of 44-15. That trend should continue, as Georgia Tech's spread option offense should be too much for the Catamounts' defense, which was one of the worst in the FCS last year.
North Carolina 35, James Madison 21: Interim coach Everett Withers will have a successful debut, despite a strong effort by JMU. Regardless of how first-year starting quarterback Bryn Renner fares, the difference will be up front, where North Carolina will dominate on both lines.
Virginia 17, William & Mary 10: Close call, eh? Virginia's defense will be the difference in this game, as quarterback Michael Rocco works out the kinks and the jitters in his debut. Expectations are high for the Tribe this fall, but experienced quarterback and ACC transfer Mike Paulus will be forced into one or two critical mistakes by the Hoos' D.
Virginia Tech 35, Appalachian State 21: App State made a name for itself with one of college football's most memorable upsets, but the Hokies have been down that road before and will take a different route this fall. Frank Beamer will start his 25th season at his alma mater with a win -- and an exhale.

How to watch Broncos vs Chargers.
The San Diego Chargers will try to break a three-game losing streak as they take on the defending Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos Thursday night.

For Antropology we had a presentation with my friends and I´m glad it´s already over. I was quite tense because I wasn´t feeling very well but we dealed with it. But that aren´t my only news. I also received another package from Zaful with three items. Are you curious, what I got? Let´s continue reading the article :)
* provided for a review
Since I saw the first mermaid blanked ever, I desparately wanted to have one. My dream came true with this order. When I was thinking about what to order this time, I was also browsing the "sale" section and my eyes just fell on a spot with this warm knitted pink mermaid tail blanket. I was like: ,,What?! Sale?! You have to be kidding me!" and I opened the link with this product. Price is still something up to 18$ which is absolutely great because usually it costs over 30$-40$ what is way too much I think. Pink colour is now my the most favourite colour so a decision was clear. I ordered it in the L size what is the longest size available. I´m 158cm tall and this blanket can cover almost my whole body! It´s ideal for these cold freezing days what we have in Slovakia nowadays. Be cool! Sleep like a mermaid! ~
White PU leather choker with a velvet ball looked sooo adorable! I just love chokers and I would like to expand my collection even more and that´s also a reason why I purchased this one. It´s not just an usual choker, I really like that white fluffy ball there. It´s available also in the black colour.
Have I ever told you that I just love retro and pin-up style? No? Okay, now you know it. Every single time I browse clothing e-shops, there is a lot of vintage dresses. They look so pretty, so feminine, so cute. Just like made for a spring or summer romance. I just had to own at least one of them. I love feminine clothing which is pretty but not provocative.
This vintage halter floral flare dress is made from a light material which is ideal for warm hot days, but it´s not a see-through material. Don´t be fooled! It has a lot of floral pattern on itself and it´s a halter style dress. That means you can tie it around your neck. I ordered it in the M size because I was a bit scared that it wouldn´t fit me. The result is that the dress is a bit oversize, haha, but I don´t really mind as long as I´m satisfied with the product. Even my friends like it! If I order similar dress to this in the future, I will definitely go for the XS or S size :)

AWESOME INTERIORS!! Tee-hee! ;)
The rooms are quite pricey but reasonable. All rooms are equipped with TV, mini refrigerator, and aircon. The CR is clean and complete with all the toiletries.
Their family room is totally spacious that small kids can run around. I am not overreacting, this is true, haha. :) I just don't get any difference from the couple and the suite room. Basically, from what we saw, the suite room is just a bit bigger than the couple room. If I am not mistaken, I think the cheapest room ranges from 2250php overnight.
I just didn't like the food they serve. Medyo mahal and nothing unique. It's okay though, but the price does not justify its serving. The one cup of rice seems like 1/4 cup only! :'( We were bitin so we had to order extra rice during breakfast.
Yes, they have awesome interiors. If you like cutie patootie stuff, you'll like it here. :D

Unanswered: ADO.NET infomessage event not firing when connection is broken
I have looked at several ADO.NET resources and they all say to use the infomessage event handler. I have added the code to my form but when I disconnect the network cable, it does not fire.
I have also read that infomessage is for server error messages below 10. I have tested this by creating a stored proc that raises a custom error of severity 8. When I execute this, it does fire the infomessage event handler, so I know that my code works.
But it does not catch broken connections!
Anyone else have this issue or any info on it?

If i became a celebrity, i'd be an outcast. There's no way i could muster up enough balls to take on a multi-million dollar mansion out in The Hills…
Even IF my man Beckham lived next door! Or even Britney Spears for that matter – and that's saying something ;)
Of course, money is crazy and it can steer the best of us down the wrong path at times. Just take a deeper look at the whole Ed McMahon debacle. The poor guy can't even pay his mortgage :( I swear, if you ever see or hear me getting like this, STOP ME in my tracks and call me out, okay? Good, good.
I know the whole Ed thing is old and played out (the news, not the guy…meanies) but I find the whole thing incredibly interesting. I guess cuz it just goes to show that no matter how rich you are, or think you are, you are SCREWED w/out good money management!
Here's a clip from Ed's interview w/ Larry King:
"King: And the payments, you can't make — what's the problem?
Ed McMahon: Well, if you spend more money than you make, you know what happens. And it can happen. You know, a couple of divorces thrown in, a few things like that. And, you know, things happen. You want everything to be perfect, but that combination of the economy, I have a little injury, I have a situation. And it all came together."
His wife also joins the convo and adds that they probably should have paid more attention to managing it all earlier, and that "Because you're a celebrity, people think you have a lot more than you have." Hmm…yeah okay i can see that. But, and i'm kinda being harsh here, if you KNOW you're not great at watching your financials, find someone who is! Or even hire a professional money manager. Doing any of that would save you a great deal of money in the long run, not to mention your sanity.
Of course, this is all easier for me to say since a) i'm not in their situation, and b) i'm not dealing with millions and millions of dollars ;) Whatever happens with their situation though (the foreclosure process had already started as of June '08), I do hope that it all gets worked out. No one deserves to go through all that pain and suffering, no matter what the situation.
I'd also like to give them MAD credit for stepping up to the public platform and spilling all their details to the world!
It's hard to measure how helpful that could be to others, but i can tell you that it def. made ME stop and think twice about stuff. It's easy to get complacent and think you're on the right track all the time, but it's hard to know 100% until you're actually tested in battle. Or perhaps that's when you know you're okay – When you basically never get INTO battle?
Whatever the case, I'd like to think that when i become a celebrity (aww yeahhh) I'll have all my ish together and be ready to start saving that money! Now i just gotta figure out how to go about being one :)
Bonus tip: Find a good "balance transfer" offer to help pay off debt faster!
If you've been making payment after payment (on time) and still haven't been able to get your debt under control, snatching up a good balance transfer credit card offer may be the ticket to try. That's where in order to gain your business - credit card companies will let you transfer your existing debt to a new card and let you pay ZERO PERCENT interest on it. Saving you tons every month!
What's the catch? Usually balance transfer cards charge a fee (around 3% of your debt balance) to let you transfer your balance to their 0% interest offer. But we've found a great credit card that will let you do a balance transfer absolutely free. Click here to learn more and see if you qualify!
PS: If you don't trust yourself with another credit card, ignore this! This strategy is to help you get out of debt quicker, not risk adding more to it.

About akeno's ability to use or "make form out of" Ise's dragon ki that she takes out of him, I wonder if Rias's new move has some kind of dragon like affect in it. Since, you know she gives his finger a bj also so she should be able to.... lmao

Yea I agree with u guys Ise need unlock power from his dragon body but I don't want him to turn fully tranform to a dragon shape because I like the armored form of Ise better

I think the purpose of this vol, is to teach Ise, that over relying on one power is very limiting. He already shown interest in magic, so I guess the feeling of helplessness will push him to pursue new routes.

Well, considering the fact that Ise still has 4 pawn pieces that haven't became mutation pieces, I think that he has the potential to acquire at least 4 different power ups, that will change one of Ise's pawn pieces into a mutation piece.
Judging from the context of volume 14 and the previous volumes, I assume that two of those pieces are going to be changed, when:
- Ise gains the ability to use the Dividing Gear that he has "stolen" from Albion / Vali
- Ise gains the ability to partially transform his body into the body of a dragon
Which, most likely leaves us with two potential power ups, that Ise might gain from another "outside source", but it probably won't happen, until Ise gains the predisposition to use his Dividing Gear and the "dragon transformation" ability, that Ise started using, although only for a short period of time, in volume 14.

I was thinking why of all things that Michael had to give was one of the 4 Holy Swords; Ex-Durandal belongs to Xenovia and Collbrande for Arthur.
It might be used against Dragons, especially Evil-Dragons. It's not just a coincidence but it was fate that brought him towards the Ascalon.
Here this out! Since the next destination of Ise is Romania for the Vampire War. We'll probably see a new development of Ise's power during that time.
Then next destination might be Heaven because it will be either Xenovia or Irina's turn for the main. In heaven. Ise might meet someone there, a spirit, perhaps, for it will help Ise to understand the power of Ascalon. And that is Saint George himself, the original owner.
Lastly, Rossweisse, which they will pobably go to Asgard.
Also his familiar might transform according to Ise's power-up. This calls for a new CCQ Armor, it's said according to wiki that it's based from Strike Freedom. I hope there's a Kamen Rider reference for the new transformation.

When it comes to weak enemies, Saji's line will work since that is its advantage. Though I am pretty sure if Saji uses it again on Ise or Sairaorg or Vali, pretty sure they will cut Saji's line like a hot knife through butter. Still it was terrifying once Ise and Saji work together, Saji lacks a lot of power while Ise has too much power and his power works for one on one enemy rather than multiple like Saji,

Regarding Ascalon, personally I think that Holy and Dragon Slaying powers kind of, contradict with Ise's dragon / devil nature.
While, I realize that the sword, has been specifically prepared for Ise to use, I don't think that a single sword is powerful enough to change someone's piece into a mutation piece.
Not to mention, I think that Ise has already obtained the ability to use Ascalon's holy powers or dragon slaying powers - the fact that he isn't using them much, is pretty much caused by the fact that, unlike Kiba or Xenovia, Ise hasn't underwent enough training to efficiently use / bring out the power of his sword, yet.

I do not know what will happen, I just hope that our hero does not remain as a secondary character support, however, I do not think there will be many changes in ISE until the next Arc of this LN, because the name of this Arc is "The Legend of Oppai Dragon and his Lively Companions"
I remember the author mentions that would focus more on the heroines.
In this battle our hero seems like a battery
And i have a question, He transfers his own power or Draig power?
Because Draig is sleeping.

Actually if you look at a different perspective, Ddraig and Ise are actually 1 soul. Ise has full excess to Ddraig's powers and because of the dying incident....one half of the soul which is Ddraig tried to save the other half which is Ise and as a result Ise isnt able to fully utilise Ddraig's powers because part of the soul's (which is Ddraig) stamina itself has been exhausted and become unstable. It is just so happens that part of Ise's soul have its own consciousness called Ddraig lol....and it can be inherited - that is why there are generations of Sekiryuutei.
Evidence to support my claim is that Ise will die without Ddraig, Ise is Ddraig and Ddraig is Ise. The power of Ddraig can be changed/modified if Ise wills it (the birth of illegal triania and Crimson Queen) and nothing can happen if Ise doesnt will it - even if Ddraig wants to enter balance break and if Ise doesnt will it nothing will happen. So you can say that Ddraig's powers are actually Ise's as they are one being and not an equipment that is attached to Ise's arm.

Is that true lilNewBlood?, Because i think that driag is a soul into the SG who use all his energy to rebuild ISE body, and insert ISE suol and SG into the new body created with a part of Great Red and power of Ophis.
What do you think ReaperxKingx?

Are you sure lilNewBlood?, Because i read that every souls into the SG death saving ISE from Samael, it also means that the SG power will be lowest.?
Or it will work of a different form?

New Menu!!!
Today we launch our new menu. It has quite a lot of changes, subtle ones with existing dishes such as the dip that is served with the whitebait to huge ones like the addition of more pasta dishes and more steaks - these are following customer demand!
Look out for the Fish of the Day dish, it's meant to be a light dish, served with a melange of the freshest seasonal vegetables...today it includes olives, roquito peppers and fennel but it will change every day. And be brave and try the Duck Heart Salad, it's delicious!
We hope you like the changes and please do keep giving us feedback...

As we've maintained prior to the new chief's hiring, the countywide drug squad should be under the command of the countywide police chief, as spelled out in the 2003 agreement that merged the city and county police departments.
Such an arrangement would create a clear chain of command and erase the current command-by-committee, which has been a flop the past three years. It would improve communication and allow the public to make better use of limited resources spent on fighting drug-related crime. It would provide needed accountability, which has been lacking.
There's no question that drugs and violent crime have an unholy link. To reduce murders, armed robberies and aggravated assaults, the community must do a better job of working together to combat drugs, all the way from street-level sales to the top of large-scale distribution.
Yet two top police officials - Willie Lovett, the former interim metro chief, and Eddie Williams, the CNT commander who's retiring at the end of December - have admitted the metro police department and CNT do not share information. "There never was communication," the outgoing CNT commander said.
This is a stunning - and disappointing - admission.
If the two agencies don't communicate, then it's no wonder why so many facets of law enforcement have broken down. It sends the wrong message to the community, too.
Private citizens who have information about drug trafficking in their neighborhoods have no reason to cooperate with patrol officers from the local precincts. Indeed, they're wasting their time. The noble concept of community-oriented policing falls apart. Citizens get frustrated. So do beat officers and undercover drug agents.
County Manager Russ Abolt, who oversees the CNT along with a Drug Advisory Board, maintains the unit is doing its job. We disagree. But it's not the fault of rank-and-file CNT officers. They're doing the best with what they've got - even when undermanned and undertrained and not communicating with other officers on the street.
Instead, the problem is insitutional. County and city leaders have failed to address the chain-of-command issue since the 2003 police merger.
Worse, Mr. Abolt wants to keep the existing model, which isn't working.
The county manager is right to say that the CNT, which was established in 1994, is an improvement over the old drug squad. But the Model T was an improvement over the horse and buggy, too.
The CNT must evolve with the change in countywide policing brought about by the merger. Putting the unit under the police chief's command would end the three-year-old communication lapse in a micro-second. It would improve the effectiveness of community-oriented policing, which most experts agree is a powerful weapon against crime. It would allow the left hand to know what the right hand was doing when it came to fighting drugs and violence.
Then consider this memo from Chatham County Assistant District Attorney Ian Heap, who has applied for the job of CNT commander.
Mr. Heap, who prosecutes cases brought by CNT, says the unit needs a massive overhaul. Among the shortcomings are disorganization, outdated policies, insufficient training, pay discrepencies, poor record-keeping and perceived lack of leadership.
And Mr. Abolt argues that all the CNT needs is "tweaking"?
If it was only so simple. Instead, bring CNT under the new police chief's wing. Keep the Drug Advisory Board, so all municipalities have a voice - but keep panel's role advisory.
The community cast a wide net to hire the best police chief it could find. The Chatham County Commission and Savannah City Council should now do their part and give Michael Berkow the organizational tools he needs to do the job.

Blue Dracaena (500+ Seeds)
Cordyline indivisa
Blue Dracaena is native to New Zealand where it is called mountain cabbage by locals. This tropical looking palm-like plant with its arching sword-like leaves is a great choice for containers. It is best suited as a foliage plant to provide height and contrast to your garden or container, however under good growing conditions it can be a wonderful focal point.

text: Exxonmobil Marine Fuels (EMMF) has further improved its delivery capability on the UK south coast by taking under exclusive contract from Whitaker Tankers a new, 4,500-tonne-capacity, double-hulled bunker barge, to be based at Southampton. The state-of-the-art "Whitchallenger" is one of the largest vessels of its kind in the UK. It will work alongside the "Jaynee W", which is already under contract to ExxonMobil, giving EMMF one of the most modern and safe fleets in Europe. The "Whitchallenger", is classed by Lloyd's Register, and carries the optimum class notation for environmental protection. Its fourteen cargo tanks are all fitted with in-tank blending capability. EMMF and Whitaker Tankers have a long-standing and successful working relationship. Jaime Spellings, newly elected Director, Global Marine Fuels, EMMF, says, "We are delighted to have the opportunity to extend our working relationship with Whitakers, a company which shares our philosophy with regard to the paramount importance of quality and safety. The entry into service of the "Whitchallenger" gives us the opportunity to improve still further the level of service available to our customers in a supply area of strategic importance."

There aren't 6 Smash Bros. Games. Even with the other announced, for wiiu and 3ds, those will be the same game. Also, it appears as if you counted any rerelease such as with the pikmin and fzero. Those aren't individual games. Also, Mario is an icon. He is in a variety of genres, to lump them all together is misleading. By your logic, GoW has had over 11 games in the past 6 years(all of which in the same genre and extremely similar and this isn't even counting Ascension).
It broke 1 million sales. The first one broke 2 million(not counting the thousands given away free after psn appocalypse).
I think the success of the wii and the success of their competitor's motion controllers have shown that motion controls(if that is what you are referring to) are anything but a gimmick and has shown that in some genres, they may just be the optimal controller scheme.
GCN was stronger than the ps2
64 was stronger than the psx
It seems this "trend" of weaker consoles only applies to this gen and while I suspect next gen as well, it still isn't really a valid assumption. Seems like a myth made by younger gamers such as yourself who only got into gaming this gen or perhaps last gen when nobody paid attention to the gcn.
It wasn't cheaper than the 3ds. It was the same price.
Edit: Also, 250 USD was always too much. Nintendo didn't drop their price because they were afraid of sony, they dropped their price because they realized people don't want to pay that much for a handheld. Everyone was just shocked that sony could meet nintendo's price.
Thank god we have Sony to make real games like Buzz and Eyepet.
Well...I have to side with Nintendo. Sony may have made gaming more mainstream, but Nintendo resuscitated an entire industry and pioneered so many things that we still use in our controllers today. They brought back the joystick, perfected rumble, brought about the dpad, and did motion control right. Sure sony and MS made motion control, but they failed to successfully produce software that took advantage of their controllers, the move in particular. So much wasted potential. Now Nintendo is ...
Lol. Their title is in the same font as infamous except cheaper looking.
You don't need to show a vita gamer 3ds games to make them regret their purchase. I'm sure most of them regret it on their own.
What about used books and dvds? The only arguement I find logical is the use of online passes even though I hate them and find them extremely flawed. I find them somewhat acceptable because they ensure that people who did not pay for the product new can not cause them to lose money from them using their servers but even that is a weak arguement imo.
We both know you are lying. You didn't buy that bundle.
Did I hurt your feelings. :(
If you truly were a fan of Metal Gear Solid, you would know that those games were/are being published by Konami not Capcom. This proves to me that you don't actually play and possibly never played a MGS or MG game in your life.
WTF. Something is wrong with the link. Did anyone bother to check this out before it was approved?
Jets suck in BF3. Tanks all the way.
Not even all of the socoms yet you have NBA 2k10,2k11,and 2k12. Not to mention no VC 2 or KH. At least they have tactics ogre though...
Imo some modern franchise need to be ignored until next gen in hopes of alleviating franchise fatigue.
Assassins Creed
Just Dance
All band based music games
Sales? Pfft. Who cares? What close minded gamers like you fail to acknowledge is how none oof your games will be relevant in 20 years unlike nintendo. Once you reach a certain age limit, you should see the errors in your ways. Of course right now, you couldn't ever let little johnny down the street learn that you play "baby" games and not (core) exclusives.
Why not focus on making a new franchise instead of beating a dying horse?
You actually just compared MNR to mario kart? Why not compare it to a game of similar quality such as Joy Ride? That way you don't make yourself look foolish. :)

What is economic growth? And why, historically, has it occurred in only a few places? Previous efforts to answer these questions have focused on institutions, geography, finances, and psychology. But according to MIT's anti-disciplinarian César Hidalgo, understanding the nature of economic growth demands transcending the social sciences and including the natural sciences of information, networks, and complexity. To understand the growth of economies, Hidalgo argues, we first need to understand the growth of order.
At first glance, the universe seems hostile to order. Thermodynamics dictates that over time, order - or information - disappears. Whispers vanish in the wind just like the beauty of swirling cigarette smoke collapses into disorderly clouds. But thermodynamics also has loopholes that promote the growth of information in pockets. Although cities are all pockets where information grows, they are not all the same. For every Silicon Valley, Tokyo, and Paris, there are dozens of places with economies that accomplish little more than pulling rocks out of the ground. So, why does the US economy outstrip Brazil's, and Brazil's that of Chad? Why did the technology corridor along Boston's Route 128 languish, while Silicon Valley blossomed? In each case, the key is how people, firms, and the networks they form make use of information.
Seen from Hidalgo's vantage, economies become distributed computers, made of networks of people, and the problem of economic development becomes the problem of making these computers more powerful. By uncovering the mechanisms that enable the growth of information in nature and society, Why Information Grows lays bare the origins of physical order and economic growth. Situated at the nexus of information theory, physics, sociology, and economics, this book propounds a new theory of how economies can do not just more things, but more interesting things.

New Delhi, May 17: Trade union leaders are apprehensive of a court order banning the general industrial strike on May 21, called in protest against the Centres economic policies.
The government can move court. But we will not be cowed down, All India Trade Union Congress general secretary Gurudas Das Gupta told a news conference today.
The fear stems from experience after high courts in three states declared strikes illegal on the ground that they cause inconvenience to people and that trade unions were going on strike even when the conciliation process was not complete.
The unions had served a strike notice on May 6. The Central labour commissioner has invited labour leaders for conciliation talks on May 19 two days before the scheduled strike.
We will attend the meeting, but will turn down the offer. Our demand is a reversal of the governments economic policies, the Aituc general secretary maintained.
The Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh and the Indian National Trade Union Congress will stay out of the strike.
The RSS has told the BMS not to go on strike against the governments policies, said a Centre of Indian Trade Union leader.
The Intuc has always maintained it is against strikes because it disrupts production. But their local units are going to join the strike, the Citu leader added.
Till a year ago, trade unions of all hues were together in all forms of protest actions. The BMS was as staunch a critic of the Vajpayee governments economic policies as the Left trade unions.
This time, seven trade unions, including the Citu, the Aituc, the Hind Mazdoor Sabha, the United Trade Union Congress (Lenin Sarani) and the Trade Union Coordination Committee have called the strike.
Independent federations of bankmen, insurance employees, defence workers, the confederation of Central government employees and telecom unions will be part of the strike, Das Gupta said.
The Aituc general secretary added that the decision of the BMS and Intuc to stay away from the strike will not lessen its impact.

Garden Spot Village has processes and procedures in place in the event of weather related emergencies as overviewed in the attached document.
Garden Spot Village has processes and procedures in place in the event of weather related emergencies as overviewed in the attached document.
Garden Spot Village has well established emergency response systems in place. Staff is trained and prepared at all times, and in this situation, additional precautions are being taken.
As we continue to monitor the potential impact of Hurricane Sandy, we believe we are prepared for any potential impact to the campus. The electrical supply from PPL has been designed to mitigate the impact of localized power failures. In the event of a larger failure of the electric grid, Garden Spot Village is equipped with numerous generators, which are all tested and inspected and determined to be ready for this event. While these generators do not provide full electrical coverage for the entire campus in the event of a power failure, they do provide sufficient electricity to power critical life support systems, our health care areas; provide emergency lighting in the hallways and full power to our dining areas so that food can be prepared and served without interruption. Additionally, staff have the ability to selectively activate other systems, such as elevators, in order to meet the ongoing needs of residents during any outage.
Our social services teams as well as the other staff members are prepared to provide any necessary assistance.
The campus is supplied by public water and sewer and we expect no interruption in those services. However, a supply of additional drinking water is stored on site in the event of any disruption. Due to the elevation of the campus and relative distance from any flood plain, we expect no problems with flooding.
While any significant weather event brings its own unique challenges, we believe that Garden Spot Village provides as safe a location as possible to weather this storm. The entire team at Garden Spot Village is committed to the safety of our residents, visitors and team members… and we continue to be prepared to serve during this weather emergency as we do throughout the year.

The official swap from the Android Market to the Google Play Store happened almost 2 years ago. I can't believe it has been that long. I still vividly remember how anti Play Store everyone was for the first 6 months or so, so much so that people even reverted back to the Android Market and turned updates off they didn't have to see the new Play Store. As with all things over time everyone became more accepting and now we can't live without it.
The Birthday deals will run across all the various offerings of the Play Store. From Books, to Magazines, to a 24-hour music sale to apps and games. The list that was compiled is particularly for Australian users and we are pretty certain that the U.S. offerings and price tags will be a bit different. Here is the list that has been compiled though.
- "FIFA 14″ by EA – Free
- "MOVIE: Disaster Movie: – AU$0.99
- GQ Australia Magazine Subscription – 30% off
- "Theme Park†By EA – Free
- "BOOK: I Came To Say Goodbye†by Caroline Overington – AU$4.99

- "Dungeon Keeper†by EA – Free
- "MAGAZINE: Super Food Ideas†– AU$1.99
- "Dead Ahead Game†by Chillingo International – Free
- "NBA Jam†by EA – AU$5.49
Fairly certain NBA Jam won't go up by $0.50 for a birthday deal. Also, titles that are already free will be free, of course that means there will be specials on in-app purchases or various little party packs, add-ons or little things inside the games.
We will be keeping our eyes peeled for when they are live and do our best to alert you. Alternatively, the permalink for the deals location page has already been outed. Just head to the Google Play Store. It won't be found on the server yet, but it should come on live later.
