Dunn targets Rovers success
David Dunn believes manager Mark Hughes' monthly targets are steering Blackburn towards success.

David Dunn believes manager Mark Hughes' monthly targets are steering Blackburn towards success.
Rovers have made an impressive start to their Premier League season, where they have lost only one of their opening nine fixtures, and Dunn believes there is a good reason for their fine form.
Blackburn travel to Tottenham on Sunday and Dunn has revealed Hughes, who has been strongly linked with the vacant manager's role at White Hart Lane, sets monthly achievement goals for his squad.
"The manager has stated his intentions by setting targets for the players every month," said Dunn.
"We are well on track, having made a great start to the campaign. We feel we can take points anywhere we go now the way we are playing."
Dunn is also pleased to be getting a regular run in the Rovers first-team after an injury-hit spell at Birmingham.
"It takes time to get your match fitness and I feel good at the moment," added Dunn.
"I am playing in a number of positions and I am happy about that as there is competition for places here.
"I am looking forward to the rest of the season as we are in a good position.
"We have not started well the last two years, so it is a nice change. If we can kick on after Christmas we will be right up there."

ExperienceTutoring comes naturally to me. It is something I have always done, even when I didn't call it that. In high school, I gladly helped other students and formed study groups, and only began tutoring for money in my fourth year of college.
I have over seven years of experience working at a community college "walk-in" tutoring center, where I helped students succeed in college-level mathematics (Pre-algebra, Geometry, Algebra, Advanced Algebra, Trigonometry, Pre-calculus, Calculus) and sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Astronomy, Genetics, Anatomy and Physiology, Psychology). I also helped with writing, proofreading, and editing college-level essays and research papers. Occasionally, students hired me outside of the tutoring center for more personalized, one-on-one attention. I also tutored high school students in similar subject areas.
I am a certified (Level II) tutor through the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA).
I am a professional artist, and recently received my Master of Fine Arts (MFA) from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where I studied painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, and mixed media. I have a Bachelor of Science from Valparaiso University, where I received a liberal arts education.
I have taken coursework to become a certified personal trainer, and I am currently studying to become certified through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). I have extensive knowledge of fitness, nutrition, strength training and conditioning, bodybuilding, and exercise physiology and anatomy.
I am patient, friendly, and observant. I recognize that students have learning style preferences (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) and I try to suggest study skills and approaches that complement each student's unique constellation of strengths. I care deeply about my students' success. My goal is to help my students become independent and creative problem solvers.

"Riveting and heartwarming."
"It almost reads like a fiction novel, yet these are just ordinary people doing extraordinary things for humanity."
"If Ms. Rohan's goal was to inspire us all to be better people… I'd say she succeeded in spades."
"My eleven-year old friend, Abigail, is a war-orphaned prostitute."
She isn't anymore. Abigail, along with countless other young girls in Liberia, is now a student—and her future is bright. All because of Katie Meyler;
All because One Person Acted.
One Person Acted and Everything Changed is the answer to an important question: "Can I change the world?" Our world is chock-full of dire and complex situations, seemingly too large for any one of us to take on—the stories you are about to read prove otherwise. No matter your circumstances, you can change this world. Absolutely. Among other inspiring stories in One Person Acted, you will read the riveting accounts of:
• An owner of an insurance company who, in just two years, has saved the lives of nearly 30,000 fleeing migrants from drowning in the Mediterranean, Aegean, and Andaman Seas.
• A photographer who surrendered his coveted position at National Geographic to inspire hundreds of millions of people across the world to take action against environmental destruction and global warming.
• A recovering heroin addict, homeless from the age of 11, who now leads a fearless rescue team that has saved thousands upon thousands of suffering animals from horrific situations.
• A psychiatrist who left his practice after twenty-three years to address global poverty and has since lifted millions of people out of poverty across the world.
• A fifteen year-old boy who founded a non-profit to change the way animals are raised, and subsequently transformed the treatment of millions of factory farmed animals in 90 countries.
One million times a month people around the world ask Google how to change the world. Read the stories of 10 people who did just that.

This week has been very busy and hectic so I've decided that instead of making a video blog, I would write a blog! Also, I was going through my camera and found the picture featured above, and thought it was pretty cool. Anyway, I'm going to share a little bit about how my college experience has been, living just ten minutes from home! For me, deciding where to go to college was one of the toughest and most extensive decisions I had ever made in my life. There were so many factors I had think about. What was the campus[…]Read More
Let me tell you about my summer in Europe that was definitely something else! After spending ten months in the United States, I had this strange feeling that I would be a tourist in my own country. I was looking forward to spending some time back home in the Czech Republic. I missed my family, my girlfriend and the "right" meal portions that don't make you fat after one week. I also missed the simplicity of expressing my thoughts in my mother tongue. All of this was my source of thrill. However, after my plane landed in Prague and my[…]Read More

Hey friends! One of my favorite Netflix original series is back on! Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Season 2 is back on Netflix and I could not be more excited! I plan on watching it all this weekend. After doing so I will give you a little review. Season 1 was pretty good. The show is about a a woman who is a survivor of a cult. Kimmy and a few other women were retrieved from a bunker where they lived for over ten years. Kimmy is now out and living in New York City. The show follows her and the friends[…]Read More
Hey friends! So I have been thinking lately and I have no idea what I want to do with my life. I am majoring in sociology and I have some ideas about what I want to do, but I have not fully committed to anything. I am only 21! Sometimes I tell myself that I am young and I have plenty of time. But other times I feel so old and that if I do not figure this out soon, I am going to die sad and miserable! I was asked a few days ago what I am majoring in[…]Read More
Hey friends! So this week concludes the first week of classes of second semester here at MNU. Personally, I am not fully recovered from Winter Break. It is a strange feeling because I was ready to come back to school. Being a young adult and going back home is kind of weird. My mom still wanted to know where I was going, who I was with, and when I would be home. It really did not make me angry. It was just kind of inconvenient because living here on campus, you get use to not having to tell anyone any[…]Read More
I kicked off winter break with STAR WARS!!!!! I was insanely excited. I went with Gabe, Josh, Quinn, and Kory to the B&B Theater in Overland Park (My current favorite movie theater) and we sat on the second row of their huge theater. Every few minutes before the movie started I would turn to one of them and excitedly whisper "STAR WARS!" probably driving them nuts, but they still talk to me so it's cool. I asked Josh to take a picture of Quinn and I in front of the Star Wars poster sign thing and ended up with[…]Read More

A ballot proposition that would have swept nearly $125 million from statewide conservation efforts into the Arizona general fund has been defeated, resoundingly.
"The voters sent a clear message to the legislature to keep their mitts off conservation lands," said Sandy Bahr, director of the Grand Canyon chapter of the Sierra Club.
Bahr and other conservationists had opposed the measure, Proposition 301, on the Nov. 2 ballot. The Arizona Legislature forwarded the proposition to voters in an effort to access the balance in the conservation land fund.
The proposition would have swept a voter-approved fund to help local governments purchase State Trust Lands for conservation.
Bahr said the initiative's failure, by 74 percent of the vote, indicates that voters support land protection measures.
"Even in tough economic times, people think it's important," Bahr said. "We hope the legislature gets the message."
The Land Conservation Fund was part of the Growing Smarter Act. It gained voter approval in 1998 under the name Proposition 303.
The main provision of the law was to establish an annual contribution of $20 million from the state's general fund. Those annual payments are scheduled to expire at the end of the current fiscal year.
Supporters of last week's initiative had said the measure was needed to help balance the state's troubled budget.
Legislators in fact wrote the budget assuming the measure and a similar proposition would pass. With the failure, lawmakers again find themselves presiding over a budget with considerable shortfalls.
Between the defeat of Prop 301 and Prop 302 — which would have swept $325 million from the early childhood development program First Things First — the state faces an additional $450 million budget hole.
Bahr believes the money the state would have pulled from the conservation fund would not have made much of an impact on the budget.
"One of the points we made is that this really isn't a lot of money when it comes to the state budget and the gap in the state budget," Bahr said.
Proposition 301
Yes 25.88 percent 380,614 votes
No 74.12 percent 1,089,849 votes

Is Victoria the next Russian 'supernova' after fashion model Natalia Vodianova? She was listed as Top Newcomer from S/S 16 by models.com. She made her debut on the runway as a Burberry exclusive! She made a buzz in her very first season walking for the biggest designers. She walked Valentino, Prada, Dior, John Galliano, Chanel, Burberry, Sonia Rykiel, Paul & Joe and Miu Miu. Following her fist modelling season her modelling career has really taken off and she now regularly appears in top fashion designer's fashion shows and photoshoots.
Interviewed and photographed by London fashion photographer Zuzana Breznanikova
- Could you tell us a bit about you?
Well, my name is Victoria and I'm a 17 years old Russian model. I really love traveling and meeting new people and that's what I think my job helps me with! I also love sport and was playing tennis for 9 years but now I don't have enough time for it so I usually just go to the gym or a swimming pool.
- How did you get into modelling?
I was not actually scouted and I didn't do elite model look and stuff. I just was on a summer holiday in London with my mum, I was 15 that time, and my friend told me that I should try to go to Elite because I look like a model, basically a lot of people were telling me that. The morning after I did it and they liked me which I was surprised with because I was not super sure in myself, but I was super happy haha! So that's how I signed the contract with my mother agency and started working.
- You walked for so many top designers. It must be very tiring doing so many shows. What does your life look like during Fashion Week?
You're kind of out of life for a month, I find it super fun actually! 90% of models would say that the most tiring thing is no sleep. As for me it's really hard to wake up in the morning because of that. I don't hear my alarm for ages so girls who I live with start hating me haha.
- What are some of your favourite designers?
Oh, that's a good question! I'd say Alexander Wang, Burberry, Valentino and MiuMiu.
- You opened and closed Burberry show at S/S 2016 Fashion Week. How did it feel walking for such prestigious brand?
I was such a fresh new face that time, as you know it was my first show ever! To be honest, I really was nerves before it so lovely people who I worked with were supporting me. Everything was very new for me , but for sure I was enjoying it a lot! When the show started and I went to the runway I felt like the happiest person in the world! For sure! After the show I started getting more followers, texts and stuff, I was smiling for the whoooole day haha.
- How would you describe your fashion style?
Oh, it could be so different, to be honest. Sometimes I wear girly dresses and stuff like that but sometimes it's more similar to London, Camden Town style if it counts!)
- What item in your closet do you wear the most?
Well, for now, my dr Martins shoes, love them.
- What can't you travel without?
My headphones and a book!
- How do keep fit and healthy?
I just love being an active person, hate sitting at home. So I'd say doing sports, being active and not overeating.
- You appeared in Vogue Russia? How did it feel being photographed for such a well-know fashion magazine? Can you tell us about the shoot?
It was really fun! Teams on shoots like that are always amazing, so we were just enjoying the process. I also met some nice people during that shoot who I am still in contact with, which is really cool!
- What had been your favourite modelling experience so far?
Opening Burberry show, for sure!
- Has modelling changed you as a person?
Oh, yes! I was kind of a shy person before I started doing modelling, and now not at all, I can talk with whoever I want about everything I want ! I also became more mature which helps me a lot because when I'm working or traveling I have to sort everything out by myself.
- What do you like most about modelling?
For now I will definitely say that meeting new amazing people and making new friends in every country.
- What is the best modelling advice you've been given?
You always have to have fun of what you're doing!
- What advice would you give to aspiring models?
Just don't be shy, don't stop doing it if something went wrong at the beginning. And if you don't know English , learn it! Just as soon as possible!

Do you have a plan for when and how you will retire at the end of your career?
It's a little difficult to answer, since I don't really have my career set. The job I have right now is more or less [for] paying bills. But I think my only plan right now is whatever job I have, just to put money away. And I've been doing that successfully for the past 12 months.
Are you putting it in a savings account?
Are you saving for a specific purpose, or just in general?
Kind of for both. More or less because I might need that money for circumstances that may arise. I'm trying to leave this job sooner than later, hopefully. So I want to have that money that I can tap into; but I don't want to tap into it, because I want it to grow. And I've enjoyed seeing it grow for the past 10 months or so.
Can you picture a time in your life when you won't have to work anymore?
Not unless I win the lottery. I sort of equate retirement with death—I want to do something. The guy I work for is great. He's going to be 70 soon, and he's had four and five different careers. He wants to retire soon, but he's just an active guy. I'm kind of the same—I would like to be working as long as I can.

"Your Paranoia Is Real." 19 March 1999 Drama, Thriller, Mystery 117 mins
Threats from sinister foreign nationals aren't the only thing to fear.

But all that takes a backseat when a seemingly all-American couple set up house next door.

Making a homemade DIY stone advent calendar nativity scene is an easy way to countdown to prepare for the celebration of Christmas.
Advent means 'coming' in Latin. This simple stone advent calendar is a great way to remember the true meaning of this holy day. The stones are representative of the journey of the wise men.

Simple Stone Advent Calendar Nativity Scene
My daughter has always had a thing for rocks. Our fall nature table has become littered with them!
When I saw THIS advent nature table by Explore and Express I knew it was perfect for my daughter so I decided to give it a try. Make sure you pop over to have a look at what they did!
You don't need anything but the stones for this advent calendar, removing one stone a day is all that's needed to make this work.
We decided to use plain wooden peg dolls and make a stable to go with it. Click on the link for our directions to our DIY Craft Stick Nativity Stable.
Simple Stone Advent Calendar Nativity Scene Supplies
You will need to go on a nature hunt to find some stones or rocks to use. You could even use pebbles, shells, pinecones and/or acorns if you like!
- 24 Stones
- Wooden Peg dolls (optional)
The bag of wooden peg dolls listed above will give you enough for this advent calendar, DIY Rainbow Peg Dolls and Elf Peg Doll Ornaments too. The rainbow peg dolls make a great gift idea!
You can make this handmade nativity stable to go with it, or you can use any one of these lovely stables or nativity sets.
This nativity is my favorite, but being a DIY mom that loves to decorate peg dolls, I just had to make my own.
Like many peg dolls before them, the simple peg dolls that you see in this post will soon be transformed. They will be made into decorated wise men and a holy family that will be published soon!
I like to provide options 😉 Once again… stay tuned!
Simple Stone Advent Calendar Nativity Scene Directions
Find a table, windowsill, counter or mantle that has enough room to lay out your stones. Spirals and circles work too and would be equally gorgeous!
If you are using peg dolls, select three to use as your wise men and place them behind the first stone of your advent calendar.
Next select 3 peg dolls to use as the holy family (Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus) and place them at the other end of the 24 stones in your stone advent calendar.
Starting on December 1st, remove one stone and move the wise men one step closer each day until Christmas.
That's it! Easy peasy right? I knew you'd love it! 🙂
Thank you Explore and Express for this magical and absolutely gorgeous idea!
I just love the way this simple stone advent calendar nativity scene looks on our nature table this year. I can not wait to decorate the peg dolls and add other fun elements to it over the next few weeks. As always… stay tuned for more DIY crafty fun!

Technical and management team expanded
ROAD TOWN, Tortola, British Virgin Islands, May 3 /CNW/ - Talon Metals Corp. ("Talon" or the "Company") (TSX: TLO) is pleased to provide an overview of its proposed exploration program for the next 18 months to September 2012 on its two iron ore projects in the Pará State of Brazil. Talon's board of directors has approved expenditure in excess of $20 million, of which most is allocated to the proposed work programs at the Trairão Project ("Trairão") and to a lesser extent on the Inajá South Project ("Inajá South"). At the Trairão project Talon now has five drilling rigs operating. The Company has significantly increased its management and technical capability to execute these programs with the new appointments announced below.
"Talon's management has increased its minimum exploration target based on the very positive results from drilling at Trairão to date, which far exceed our original expectations," said Mr. Stuart Comline, President and CEO of Talon Metals. "The new funds from the recent equity financing will accelerate the exploration program and allow for the commissioning of a prefeasibility study at Trairão."
Since October 2010, Talon has undertaken a preliminary reverse circulation ("RC") drilling program at Trairão that comprised 167 drill holes (10,958 metres) over a cumulative 21 kilometres of strike over Target Areas 1, 2 and 3 (See Figure 1). This includes the initial grid drilling of a cumulative 5,400 metres of strike (53 drill holes and 2,554 metres) on parts of Target Areas 1 and 2 and resulted in the delineation of a NI 43-101 compliant total inferred mineral resource estimate of approximately 465 million tonnes at a grade of approximately 39% Fe (using a 25% Fe cut-off), to depths of 50 metres in these two areas. The balance of the RC drilling to date has been done on the remaining 15.6 kilometres of Target Areas 1, 2, and 3, of which the initial results of 17 drill holes on Target Area 3 were reported in a news release dated April 6, 2011. The assay results on the remaining RC samples from the outstanding drill holes that have been completed will be reported as they are received. Thereafter, Talon expects that the mineral resource estimate will be updated, if warranted, once these results have been processed.
In addition, 15 diamond drill holes (1,962 metres) have been drilled and various geological, geophysical and metallurgical studies and surveys have been commissioned. To date, 13 discreet target areas with iron mineralization have been delineated, which have a cumulative strike length of some 50 kilometres and geological mapping is being undertaken on Target Areas 4 through 13.
The proposed work program at Trairão includes:
At the Inajá South Iron Project, preliminary mapping is underway and provision has been made for a diamond drilling program (13 holes and 2,900 metres) to determine the nature of the predominantly BIF mineralization and to drill to delineate inferred mineral resources, as warranted. Provision is also made to undertake a scoping study as part of the proposed work program at Inajá South.

About the Trairão Iron Project
Talon's 100% owned Trairão Iron Project is situated within the Serra da Seringa Archean age greenstone belt, within the Carajás Mineral Province in Brazil, which also hosts numerous other large iron ore deposits. The Trairão Iron Project comprises eight exploration licences and four applications for exploration licences, for a total area of 77,390 hectares (191,234 acres). The primary protore iron mineralization in the project area is magnetite-rich BIFs. The BIFs are associated with positive magnetic anomalies and are preserved in thirteen discreet areas with a cumulative strike length of some 50 kilometres, which mostly form prominent ridges, locally capped by preserved supergene enriched hematite deposits, which are developed in surficial and saprolite zones.

Forward - Looking Information
This news release contains forward-looking information. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that the Company believes, expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future (including, without limitation, statements regarding potential mineralization, potential updated and/or additional mineral resource estimates, the timing and plans for the Company's exploration and work programs, the proposed scoping study for Inajá South and the proposed prefeasibility study for Trairão and the expected timing for completion of same) are forward-looking information. This forward-looking information reflects the current expectations or beliefs of the Company based on information currently available to the Company. Forward-looking information is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual results of the Company to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking information, and even if such actual results are realized or substantially realized, there can be no assurance that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on the Company. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, risks related to the exploration stage of the Company's properties, the possibility that future exploration results will not be consistent with the Company's expectations (including identifying additional mineralization), changes in the price of iron ore, changes in equity markets, political developments in Brazil, uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future, changes to regulations affecting the Company's activities, delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required regulatory approvals, the uncertainties involved in interpreting exploration results and other geological data and the other risks involved in the mineral exploration business. Forward-looking information speaks only as of the date on which it is provided and, except as may be required by applicable securities laws, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise. Although the Company believes that the assumptions inherent in the forward-looking information are reasonable, forward-looking information is not a guarantee of future performance and accordingly undue reliance should not be put on such information due to the inherent uncertainty therein.
The mineral resource figure disclosed in this news release is an estimate and no assurances can be given that the indicated level of iron will be produced. Such estimate is an expression of judgment based on knowledge, mining experience, analysis of drilling results and industry practices. Valid estimates made at a given time may significantly change when new information becomes available. While the Company believes that the mineral resource estimate disclosed in this news release is well established, by their nature mineral resource estimates are imprecise and depend, to a certain extent, upon statistical inferences which may ultimately prove unreliable. If such estimate is inaccurate or is reduced in the future, this could have a material adverse impact on the Company.
Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred mineral resources are estimated on limited information not sufficient to verify geological and grade continuity or to allow technical and economic parameters to be applied. Inferred mineral resources are too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them to enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that mineral resources can be upgraded to mineral reserves through continued exploration.

It is a standard there to offer band sizes 30-50 (EU 65 - 115) and cups A through M. No respected Polish lingerie brand ends the alphabet with G. Which brings us to the question: how can they do that, if nobody else can?
Unlike in the US, where the lingerie market is dominated by Victoria's Secret, in Poland it is extremely fragmented. There are several hundreds independent lingerie manufacturers in Poland, mostly mom & pop operations with annual turnover rarely exceeding $3M a year. These small companies have formed a diversified ecosystem where manufacturers compete for customers with quality, aesthetics and design.
Polish lingerie brands make their bras in Poland, not Asia. Their production infrastructure heavily relies on talent of skilled cutters and seamstresses, reflected in much higher quality of final product. They do not import 5 sizes of mold foam cups in bulk from Alibaba.com, but make their own, adding dimension with multiple parts sewn together.
Had these manufacturers depended on offshore production of bra parts, they would be constrained by minimum order volumes. And with some sizes needed only by infinitesimal fraction of clients, they soon would be out of business.
Average weight of an adult woman in Poland is 141 lbs (64kg), and substantial bust size is not uncommon there. This makes narrow bands with bigger cups very popular sizes among Polish customers.
But these sizes are also tricky when it comes to wires. Too wide the wires in a small band bra, and the discomfort for the client is unbearable.
Compared with British brands for full bust, the bras made in Poland often offer deeper cups and more forward projection. While individual wire sizes might vary across different manufacturers, the pressure from customers with D+ cups in 34- bands favors suppliers who make wires suitable for that the size segment.
Almost all bra manufacturers in Poland sell under their own brand. That's very different from mass factories in Asia whose primary clients are buyers from lingerie companies or retail chains. For Polish bra makers the primary customer is the bra wearer.
Polish lingerie manufacturers have been extremely responsive to feedback provided by bra bloggers and their readers. Since 2007 the famous Polish blog Stanikomania ("Bra-mania") has been helping bra makers understand the struggles of women who fall of the old standard size charts, and the members of Balkonetka.pl community have reviewed over 17 thousand bras.

Had the dealer to check the alignment and was reading 2degress on the camber and thankfully nothing was bent and they adjusted back to normal but at a cost of £200. Have recovered the cost of that and now have to deal with the alloy wheel. This must have been asked many times but where can I have my alloys refurbished. I live in Kent and saw a company was mentioned in Dartford but I can't find the post that has the name. Please could someone assist Many thanks in advance

Harness the power of Business Intelligence and HR Data to enable a data-driven culture, optimize the workforce, and gain people insights.
According to Forbes, Economists are predicting that we will see the next recession in 2017. John Challenger, CEO of Challenger, Gray & Christmas recently said, "This year could be particularly volatile in the fourth quarter, with employers holding off on significant moves until they see election results. It's not simply who wins the White House, but there are Senate races and countless ballot initiatives on issues like minimum wages that will influence business strategies going forward." Meanwhile, large companies continue to produce massive layoffs throughout 2016.
With the current state of volatility and uncertainty it's more important than ever to ensure the right people are doing the right work, at the right time, and are in the right role within your organization.
Do you have the right mix of employees and contingent workforce? Why do you have directors that have x number of direct reports versus others? Are they efficient? Are you in danger of losing your best talent? Are there other qualified people ready to take their place if you do? Your goal is to ensure that your company is working at the peak of efficiency, but how?
How can you work leaner, faster, and with more agility?
The "usual" employee data HR collects, and the analytics used to determine if x percent of the workforce is engaged isn't enough anymore. Business Intelligence (BI) data helps you understand the way your company, customers and competitors work – which allows you to make better decisions. Combine this (external) data with your own (internal) HR data and the result is valuable information that can be used to inform decisions at all levels within a company. This allows you to be truly mindful and informed of where your workforce and company is globally and compared to your competitors. It requires additional data sets, a system to marry the information together and analyze it, and buy-in from multiple levels and departments. This may seem impossible, but it's anything but.
With the right knowledge and tools, you can have a foundation of data to better your systems and people across the enterprise.
Combine this foundation with people insights and predictive analytics and you will be able to assess future hiring needs and build a strong pipeline of talent. Add performance analytics and you can assess potential employee turnover, retirement rates, and analyze why and when employees are taking a leave of absence.
Imagine being able to anticipate issues within your workforce and thwart them, streamline processes, and ensure that your company is working at top efficiency, affordability, and create a data-driven culture in order to maintain its success. All through the power of analytics.
This year's event will showcase case-studies on from organizations that have realized the ROI of talent analytics, learn from the best as they share their journeys in:
• How to access BI data and integrate it to analytics models, essentially marrying internal and external data.
• Utilizing cloud analytics to analyze more data faster.
• Tools to help analytics serve as the common language and empower people to reach insights quickly, collaborate meaningfully, and build a community around data.
• Using these analytics with Workforce Planning to create an optimal workforce.
• Using Predictive Analytics to assess future hiring needs.
• Building a strong pipeline of future talent.
• Keeping a pulse of the state of your current talent, their engagement, likelihood of turnover, and maintaining a culture of productivity.
• Measuring the current performance of employees and predicting future performance.
• Linking employee performance to financial performance and identify areas for change
• Finance's role and the invaluable data they can provide.
• Identifying High Potentials and Performers, and plan for future spending on training and
learning needs of employees.
• Ensuring compensation is fair throughout the company and that performance-based
compensation is in line with the company's key strategic objectives.

By Ian Cowley, managing director of cartridgesave.co.uk.
A worrying report by Canada Life has revealed a third of employees don't call in sick, no matter how ill, because they are scared of falling behind in their work.
Now, while it's important to keep sick leave to a minimum, it's also crucial that sick staff take the time to recuperate and don't risk passing on their germs to co-workers.
As employers, it makes business sense to promote health and wellbeing to prevent illness striking in the first instance. Then, secondly, if it does, doing all you can to prevent one person's cold affecting the entire workforce - because the effect on productivity can be huge. A whole team there in body, but not in spirit.
Here are some ideas ways to limit the damage winter colds can have on your business.
1. Promoting staff wellbeing
According to the Office for National Statistics, in 2013, 131 million days were lost to staff illness. The top three reasons were neck and back pain (31 million days), minor illness such as coughs and colds (27 million days) and stress, anxiety and depression (15 million days). Neck and back pain, plus stress can be minimised at work. For example, with the right chairs and desks, you can prevent injury caused by bad posture and/or help staff manage existing conditions. Perks like free fruit, subsidised gym membership and the cycle to work scheme can help improve staff's approach to health and diet, which in turns help ward off colds. And when it comes to stress, creating a supportive environment in which you promote a healthy work-life balance can help reduce mental illness directly attributed to work. Prevention is always better than a cure.
2. Flu jabs
The flu is hugely debilitating but the risk of catching it can be reduced through inoculation. One of our suppliers pays for their entire workforce to have the jab at the start of each winter. It's administered on a voluntary basis but they experience a 90% take-up. The cost is a business expense but they believe it's worth the investment. They are a small business and struggle to maintain output if a key member of staff is taken out-of-action because of the flu.
3. Make it possible for people to work from home
Staff often drag themselves, and their germs, to work because they are conscientious. They know they have a workload to tackle and are so blinkered by responsibility they don't realise it's a false economy. Not only will it take them longer to recover and therefore regain efficiency but they are passing on their illness to colleagues.
Thanks to the wonderful world of technology, it should be possible for staff who are sick but want to work to log in from home. To make this possible, put in place a computer system that allows for remote access and provide laptops on loan if needed. Agree with sick staff a realistic jobs list (given they're under the weather) at the start of each day and ask them to keep in touch with updates on their work and health progress.
4. Total bed rest
I do believe, though, that the only way to get better quickly is to rest. I've learnt this the hard way. I previously soldiered on and as a result, performed under par for two weeks when two days in bed would have solved the problem.
As a manager, you can use your discretion. You know who your hardworking staff are and who will only call in if they are at death's door. And you also know the staff who take advantage of the sick pay clause in their contract.
In the case of the former, ask them to handover any urgent matters that need handling and insist they switch on their out of office. Advise their teams that they are out of contact and let them rest properly.
In the instance of the latter, I'd suggest the working from home option and ask them to call, rather than email/text, each morning before 9am if their illness will keep them out of the office for another day.

CALGARY - There were signs the Denver Nuggets could get the scoring boost they sorely need in a 108-106 pre-season win over the Toronto Raptors on Monday.
Denver ranked in the bottom third of NBA teams in field-goal percentage last season (44.2) and missed the playoffs for the third straight season with a 33-49 record.
The Nuggets not only spread offence liberally through the lineup Monday, but three players drafted this year with improved scoring in mind were composed contributors in the fourth quarter.
Chief among them was Canadian guard Jamal Murray, the seventh overall pick who scored nine points. The Nuggets regained the lead on his three-pointer in the fourth.
The 19-year-old from Kitchener, Ont., played 17 minutes in the game due to starting shooting guard Gary Harris leaving in the first half with a groin strain.
"I really wanted to hit my one and only three," Murray said. "I had a lot of fun out there tonight.
"I wanted to show I could play efficiently knowing the spots, knowing the plays. I just wanted to make sure I didn't turn the ball over and make sure I hit most of my shots."
Jusuf Nurkic (15 points), Danilo Gallinari (14) and Nikola Jokic and Will Barton (12) led Denver's attack. Nurkic dominated the boards with 10 rebounds.
Nuggets coach Michael Malone sent Juancho Hernangomez, the 15th pick in the draft, and No. 19 Malik Beasley out in the fourth quarter. They combined for 11 points and four rebounds.
"To put the ball in Jamal's hands, let him make plays and again, nothing was perfect, but we did enough to get the win," Malone said.
"I think every experience is a learning experience and that's the best teacher for all of us. This is their first taste of NBA basketball, even though it's pre-season. I know they're going to be much better at the start of the regular season at the end of the month."
The Raptors won a franchise record 56 games in 2015-16 en route to reaching the Eastern Conference final for the first time.
Toronto dropped to 1-1 in the pre-season after beating the Golden State Warriors in Vancouver on Saturday. Monday night's loss was the first NBA game in Calgary in 20 years was played in front of an announced sellout of 19,600 at Scotiabank Saddledome.
Terrence Ross came off Toronto's bench for a team-leading 23 points. Jonas Valanciunas scored 12 of his 20 points for the Raptors in the second half.
"I thought our approach was semi-soft coming into the game," Raptors head coach Dwane Casey said. "Their bigs just kickecd our bigs butt and they set the tone. We didn't play as hard and as physical to start the game."
The game featured a pair of Canadians, including Raptors guard Cory Joseph now playing for his hometown NBA team. Joseph, 25, was 4-for-9 from the floor in 19 minutes played.
The Vancouver Grizzlies downed the Raptors 80-77 in 1996 in Calgary in the Naismith Cup, which was an annual game between Canada's two NBA teams from 1995 to 2000.
Calgary Flames season-ticket holders had first dibs on tickets for Monday's game and the remainder sold out quickly Sept. 2.
The entrance of Raptors stars DeMar DeRozan, who finished with 15 points, and Kyle Lowry for pre-game warmup had fans leaning over the boards, begging for high-fives and autographs.
"You go to some pre-season games when they're not in NBA arenas and you never know what to expect," Malone said. "There was an excitement in the arena from start to finish."
Forward Jared Sullinger sat out Monday with a sore foot. DeMarre Carroll, who led the Raptors with 14 points in Vancouver, was given a night of rest.
As they did in Vancouver, the Raptors linked arms and some bowed their heads for the national anthems. The players have said they are doing so to draw attention to social and racial injustice in the United States.
They face the host Los Angeles Clippers and Cleveland Cavaliers and are at home to Argentina champions San Lorenzo de Almagro for three games in three nights starting Wednesday.
Toronto opens the regular season at home versus the Detroit Pistons on Oct. 26. The Nuggets start on the road the same day against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Sam Mendes sure likes to keep busy. Attached to direct both The Voyeurs Motel and James and The Giant Peach, he is now going to produce, and possibly direct, Beautiful Ruins, an adaptation of the eponymous novel by Jess Walter. The novel, named after a description of Richard Burton in the New Yorker as a 'Beautiful Ruin', never directly portrays Elizabeth Taylor, although she remains a destructive presence throughout. Richard Burton however, makes a brief, amusing, cameo. It centres around the production of Cleopatra — check out the trailer below:
Using the production of Cleopatra — with all its delays, flights of fancy and impossible dreams — as a metaphor for its fictional characters, the novel had reviewer Janet Maslin "wondering how "Beautiful Ruins" would work as a straightforward narrative." Nevertheless, if anyone knows anything about telling tragic love stories, who better than Sam Mendes, whose adaptation of Revolutionary Road saw Leo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet combine to tell a heartbreaking tale of love throughout the ages?
But what is the true story behind Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, and the love affair that is arguably unequalled in Hollywood history? Let's take a look. Here is Burton and Taylor: a timeline.
How They Met
As the novel mentions, the two met on the set of Cleopatra, a film Life magazine dubbed the "Most Talked About Movie Ever Made". The final budget totalled over $62 million dollars, which adjusted for inflation, ranks it as the 21st most expensive movie ever made — the only film from before 1978 even in the top 50. The production was a complete mess, riddled with illnesses, directors changing, sets that had to be rebuilt, and a lack of a shooting script. Nevertheless with Burton, Taylor had found a love affair as epic as her star vehicle's ambition. Apparently when they kissed on-screen they wouldn't stop even after the director yelled cut.
The second youngest in a family of thirteen children, Burton came from a small Welsh mining town, pure ambition and skill driving him to be one of the most acclaimed Shakespearean actors. She was born in a life of relative luxury, the daughter of an actress and an art dealer. When they met she was already in her fourth marriage, and he was married to Welsh actress Sybil Williams. A year later, they both got divorced to their respective spouses and married each other.
A Turbulent Love
"Richard and I had an incredible chemistry together. We couldn't get enough of each other" — Elizabeth Taylor
The original Kimye, Taylor and Burton starred in a total of thirteen films together, including The V.I.Ps, The Taming of The Shrew and Under Milk Wood. Together they made an estimated $88 million, an astronomical figure for actors in the 60s. The money they earned, they spent, living the high-life: yachting, partying, staying in Five Star hotel suites, and buying each other extravagant gifts. Burton even bought Taylor a million dollar diamond.
Nevertheless, their relationship was anything but smooth sailing. The rumor goes that when they booked into hotels, they would rent the room above and below them so that no one could hear them arguing. Abetted by copious amounts of alcohol, the arguments would last long into the night. Their best film together, Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf, works so convincingly as they brought their tensions from their marriage onto the screen.
Divorce and Marriage and Divorce Again
Taylor had finally had enough of Burton when it emerged he had an affair with a younger co-star. Thus after filming the appropriately named Divorce His, Divorce Hers, they got divorced from each other in 1974. Nevertheless, a mere eighteen months later, after meeting up to discuss their finances they fell back together and got married again. But they fought and fought before Burton fell for another woman, Suzy Hunt, and divorced Taylor for good in 1976 to marry her. It simply couldn't work between them.
As Burton once said:
"You can't keep clapping a couple of sticks of dynamite together without expecting them to blow up"
Third Time Lucky?
1983. Neither were married, but semi-involved with other people. The event was a revival of Noël Coward's insanely popular Private Lives. It tells the story of two people, who upon honeymooning with their respective spouses, rediscover their eternal love for the other. Expertly mirroring the Taylor and Burton saga, some newspapers speculated that they may ditch their respective lovers and get married for a third time.
It wasn't to be. Additionally, the performance wasn't a success, with reports of Taylor turning up drunk and criticisms that both of them were too old to convincingly play their roles. One critic wrote that it was like:
"the Hitler diaries – you don't believe it, but you gotta look!"
This woeful reception was believed by some to adversely affect Burton's health. He died a mere eight months later of a brain haemorrhage. But their love for one another never died, it just didn't work. Taylor, a year before her death, expressed her regrets:
"I was a fool to marry so often. If I had my time over again, I would never do that. The truth is I now don't give a damn about most of those men. Richard is the only one I truly loved and still care about. I shall miss him until the day I die."
With such a love to inspire the film Beautiful Ruins, and with Mendes hopefully to direct, this film may have the potential to equal his best work. Maybe then we can forgive him for Spectre!

Former Bigg Boss contestants and television actors Kishwar Merchant and Suyyash Rai got hitched. It was a court marriage but the couple had kept traditional wedding functions. The Sangeet and Mehndi were an extravagant affair, followed by a reception where we saw many of their co-actors from the television world.
Looking at Kishwar's wedding couture, we were delighted that she gave every colour a chance. She picked bright colours for the mehndi and haldi, for the reception she wore a light hue and for the wedding she wore pink. Kishwar, unlike other brides, kept her jewellery use to a minimum; adding only the necessary ones.
Let's take a quick look through her wedding couture:
The Cocktail Red Lehenga
For the cocktail, Kishwar picked this sheer red lehenga with beautiful detailing. She kept the look simple.
Offbeat Mehndi Outfit
For her mehndi, Kiswar picked this unconventional bright ensemble. She made it further interesting by adding sunglasses to it.
Kishwar With Her Squad
The bridesmaids were matching Kishwar's ensemble. A colourful picture, indeed.
The Cordinated Couple
Even Suyyash matched his bride's clothes. Both of them looked quite lively in their ensembles.
The Wedding
For the wedding, she picked a beautiful pink lehenga. Added the charm with her bangles and diamond jewellery.
