Increasing our retention score was a key ambition. In just 13 months with Globoforce, new hire retention rates are incredibly high at 86%. Overall retention is 90% or higher.
Betsy Walker, Vice President, Human Resources, Global Compensation & Benefits
Globoforce helps our clients save millions by improving employee retention.
Our recent employee survey reveals a direct connection between recognition and an employee's desire to find a new job. If your business success is tied to retaining your A-players, you need a recognition strategy to retain your top talent.
Our clients typically see a direct connection between improved employee retention scores after recognition programs, powered by Globoforce, are implemented.
With Globoforce, you can:
If you want to retain key employees, start by connecting their work to your success.
Strategic Recognition helps employees clearly understand your company values and objectives in their daily work. Because your employees know what you expect, why it matters, and how their contributions will be noticed and appreciated, they become truly loyal to you and your organization.
Your mid-tier employees are a powerful force underpinning the success of your top performers. Yet these hidden power performers are forgotten in traditional, elitist recognition and incentive programs focused on just the top 10 percent.
With peer-to-peer recognition from Globoforce, you can bring the accomplishments of every employee to light. Yes, your stars will receive more praise and recognition. But your average employees will also be noticed and appreciated for their contributions that make it possible for your stars to shine.

U.S. stocks were set to open lower Tuesday as Greece's uncertain political situation keeps investors on edge.
Dow Jones industrial average, S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures were all less than 0.5%. Stock futures indicate the possible direction of the markets when they open at 9:30 a.m. ET.
All eyes will continue to be on Europe, a day after Greece's main center-right party failed to form a coalition government. Now, the left-wing coalition, which is opposed to austerity as the way to close Greece's debt gap, will have three days to form a government.
The latest development feeds investors' fears that Greece might have to drop out of the eurozone.
"The political uncertainty in Greece will remain a big issue for some time now," said Jim Reid of Deutsche Bank in a note Tuesday. "Its also inevitable that there will be much debate about Greece's future within the eurozone."
As various parties grapple with forming a coalition government in Greece, it's looking increasingly likely that new elections will need to be held, most likely in mid-June. That throws into question whether Greece will be forced to renegotiate its bailout funding.
Early Tuesday, European Council president Herman Van Rompuy set May 23 as the date for an unscheduled EU summit, announcing on his Twitter feed that it would be an "informal dinner."
U.S. stocks recovered from a shaky start Monday, following elections in France and Greece over the weekend.
World markets: European stocks dropped in morning trading. Britain's FTSE 100 was little changed. The DAX in Germany shed 0.6%, while France's CAC 40 fell 1.6%.
Both the DAX and CAC rebounded to end Monday higher after initially selling-off in the aftermath of the election.

First, let's acknowledge that I laughed as hard at Bridesmaids as most anyone else. It was a consistently diverting, often very clever romp, and I thought Kristen Wiig and the rest of the cast were, on the whole, first-rate. That said, even with the extra smarts and wit that distinguished this movie from so many imbecilic contemporary comedies, Bridesmaids still … More Details

Judging by what I've seen recently, I think the answer is "yes". Yet even so, some of our (supposedly) finest critics still find reasons to celebrate.

Look, a three headed monkey!
So… A few updates are in order, I believe:
It's 2010.
I'm now running opensuse, at least part time (Vista was having issues where the harddisk would chunk out for several minutes at a time. No idea)
I am, at least for a month, back in the countryside with the cows and the donkeys and the sheep poo.
I've started watching the X-files. Although somewhat cringeworthy, it's not at all bad. In addition, me starting watching the X-files this easter holiday is my excuse-in-advance for failing my Tripos exams in about 2 months.
(To be honest, it's always awkward when you show somebody "Look, I has a blog, I's on google" but the last post was months ago.)
And so now I'm going to go and do some shopping and make a cake, thus further putting off structural mechanics. Have a nice day.

The Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean updates has begun rolling out for the Sony Xperia P and Sony Xperia Go. This will bring considerable improvement to performance for the two devices – Project Butter is included with Jelly Bean which makes the Android interface run much quicker.
The Xperia P and Xperia Go are midrange handsets, but make a much more attractive proposition to would-be buyers now that they run Jelly Bean. Clove is currently offering a free 60 day trial of Son'y Music Unlimited service with the Xperia Go, which rivals Spotify with the large catalogue that it offers.
The Sony Xperia Go is one of the first IP67 rated handsets to be updated to Jelly Bean, you can see a video of it being put through its paces below.

Farewell, Steve Jobs!
I'm writing this blog post, as I now always do, on my iPad. It's a typical piece of technological brilliance by the man who co-founded the computer company I have been spellbound by since I was a boy, the man who ultimately led it to world domination, and who is now gone. I wasn't surprised to hear Steve Jobs had died – when he retired from Apple it was clear the cancer had returned and wouldn't go away again. My sadness at his passing though is based on two things: his premature death at a still youthful 56, and the terrible loss of a creative genius who changed everything. I have it on reliable authority that he was monstrous to work for, Apple on his watch had very little regard for the environment, and there are suicides of Chinese workers whose blood is very much on Jobs' hands. I can't forget either that the App Store is highly censorious, nor that the corporation's product PR campaigns had most recently become so manipulative they'd almost lapsed into self-parody, and increasingly to the detriment of their customers.
Yet I am writing this on an iPad, some of you may read it on an iPhone or an iMac or MacBook, and pretty much all of you use iTunes now. I may talk about this post later on with my partner on FaceTime, and I'd like to invite as many of you as would like to come to an photography exhibition I'm taking part in later this month – all the photos were taken on iPhones. Jobs revolutionised music, film (Pixar was his baby), home & mobile computing, telephony, photography and countless other means by which we now relate to each other. Almost every aspect of the digital age you're taking part in now had something to do with him. His detractors clearly make valid points, but I choose not to eulogise a person merely by the bad choices they made in their lives. He had blood on his hands, yes, but Steve Jobs also made countless people very happy indeed, and it wasn't down to the self delusion often cited by his detractors (yet never really proven).
His Commencement address to Stanford University in 2005 has been widely quoted in the last couple of days. You can read the transcript here, and can see it all in the video at the top of this piece. I'd like to offer this quote:
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
Despite your failings, thanks Steve for bringing some joy and innovation to a disenchanted world.

Christine filed court papers to end the marriage earlier this year, but didn't disclose the cause of the split.
A lawyer for the 86-year-old Out of Sight writer said that Christine's choice not to reveal reasons for the divorce is "pretty standard", reports Detroit News.
Court proceedings are to begin on December 12.
Elmore and Christine married 18 years ago, but have no children together.
Matt Dillon and Brendan Fraser recently signed on to star in a film adaptation of Elmore's 1988 novel Freaky Deaky.
Be Cool, Valdez Is Coming and Touch are among a number of Elmore novels which have been made into feature films.

Q&A with Alice Domurat Dreger on Social Justice, Scholarship, and Women in STEM
Under the Microscope, an online space hosted by The Feminist Press "where women and science connect," just posted a fascinating conversation with Alice Domurat Dreger, a bioethicist and author who I know from her work on intersex activism. Here's a snippet for your reading pleasure:
UtM: Are there any particular issues in bioethics you want to tackle or anything in particular you are working on now?
My work tends to be more directed at social justice (changing practices to make them more just to oppressed people) than at bioethics (an academic field of research and discourse). True to that, I'm working with colleagues right now on a project aimed at making sure one group of pregnant women who have been the subjects of research are having their rights protected. That has involved research on the medical literature, writing up our findings, contacting authorities (including government agencies) with our concerns, producing website informational material, and helping reporters who are interested to understand the story.
This constitutes a logical part of my fifteen-year work aimed at making sure people with unusual body types have their human rights respected. I just got an internal grant at my university, Northwestern University, to do more work on minority sexual orientations, including gay men and lesbians.
Click here to read the entire post where Dreger discusses what it's like to be a woman in a male-dominated world, and how her sex and gender (yes, they are different things) impact her work.

Tweet |
Simon Boccanegra, a corsair, and his lover Maria have a child, but Maria dies in childbirth and her father (Fiesco) refuses to acknowledge Boccanegra as his son-in-law. Boccanegra is later elected Doge of Genoa and, as the years pass and his power grows he is plotted against by Fiesco and Adorno (a young nobleman in love with Fiesco's ward). Boccanegro recognises Fiesco's ward as his lost daughter but is poisoned - the parties are reconciled as Boccanegra dies and declares Adorno his successor.
Our Review:
Anne Morley-Priestman - 26 March 2013
Directors – not to mention designers – can find that updating the action of plays and operas is a perilous undertaking. There have been some successes; there are many more failures. It can be that such action presumes that an audience is less intelligent than it really is.
Alright, Simon Boccanegra is not one of the most popular of Verdi's operas – nor does it have the simplest plot but, at any rate in the 1881 revision, it does have some of the composer's great hallmarks, including lyrical father-daughter duets and baritone-bass confrontations. Director James Conway keeps us in Genoa but shifts the action from the mid-14th to the mid-20th century. We're in the aftermath of the Second World War with former partisans at odd with the wealthier members of the community who (perhaps) still hanker after Mussolini's brand of fascism.
Accepting this (for my money, unnecessary) updating, we do have some extremely good...

Posted: 09/14/11
There are few notable releases for Nintendo's underwhelming WiiWare library, and even those rare games have gone largely unnoticed. Gaijin Games and Aksys are giving Wii owners one last chance to check out a collection of six unique rhythmic games in Bit.Trip Complete.
The full rundown of Bot.Trip releases includes Bit.Trip Beat, Core, Void, Runner, Fate, and Flux. Bit.Trip relies heavily on audio and visual cues for its core mechanics, but there's a unique spin to the way each game incorporates them. Whether it's as simple as re-imaging the concept of Pong or the side-scrolling shooter, there's plenty of creativity here. Each of the individual games is a great throwback to the arcade scene of the '70s and '80s
Each Bit.Trip entry features simple controls, but you'll have to master them if you hope to overcome the later, more difficult levels. No matter how challenging it gets, it will keep you coming back again and again to try and surmount the hurdle. All of the Bit.Trip installments are bite-sized marvels, but you'll easily sink most of your time into Runner. It proves a more comprehensive platforming experience that conjures up comparisons to indie classic The Impossible Game.
The retro visuals pay homage to 8-bit classics, though there are times where things get too ambitious, making it difficult to effectively judge the action. It's an infrequent nuisance that's hardly a serious detractor, and any complaints are quickly drowned out by the stellar chiptune soundtrack that proves excellence can arise from simplicity.
Bit.Trip Complete is the very embodiment of addicting, simple premises and if you missed out on these the first time around the $40 price tag is worth giving them a second chance.

Killer Reviews Podcast #121
GSPWDT #3: Show Feedback / Listener Questions
Recorded June 22, 2012
In this super laidback episode Xander, Mallory and Butcher run though show feedback and answer a handful of listener questions: What got you guys hooked on gaming? What are some of the most challenging games you've finished? What are some of your most memorable gaming moments? What do you feel is the biggest problem with the gaming industry as it is today? And many more!
Games discussed include: Marble Madness (Arcade), Eternal Champions (Sega Genesis), Gauntlet (NES), Ghosts N' Goblins (NES), Metroid (NES), Dark Souls (XBOX-360), Final Fantasy 7 (PS1), Fallout 3 (XBOX-360), Borderlands (XBOX-360) and a ton more!
I always wondered why Butcher was playing so much Bullet Witch... Now I know.
I did start my town of Sunnydale in Minecraft... I put in over 20 overs on that... its pretty difficult though, I haven't played in awhile but I'm close to finishing the Library. I'll share some pics when complete, or make a video.
Hi Butch,
I'd like to see some time dedicated to classic/vintage game systems like Atari 2600, Intellivision, Coleco, Nintendo, etc. I know they're nowhere near as complex as the newer systems but they were the foundation of all consoles to come.
Also, Nice touch by adding the music to the games in the into/outro
P@rick from Southie
[QUOTE=The Butcher;112230]Jesus! Is this forum topic dead or what!
I for one am just waiting patiently for the next Killerreviews podcast. Not much of a gamer myself sorry to say.
The Super-Vixens Feeding your heroine addiction!
First of I wanted to tell you ladies and Gents that it's MA-Z. Like Maserati but without the s.
My question is, What games are you waiting to pre-order? For me, Hitman, Ni no Kuni, GTA5, RE 6 but maybe...I read some things that made me have concerns.
Fun show once again.
I liked the talk about achievements/trophies. I have the touch of OCD when it comes to games and I always feel like I have to be getting 100% on every game, but the rational part of me knows there's way too much shit to play and not enough time in my life to do it. What I usually do is get as many achievements as I can within a respectable amount of time, usually until I just get sick of the game and want to move on to something else, and tell myself I can get back to the others once I feel like playing the game again, even if I never do but at least it settles my OCD down about it. I was playing through Arkham City for instance, trying to get the various achievements until I just get really fucking sick of doing the same thing over and over so I finally said screw it and moved on to Split/Second.
It was also cool that you gave a quick shout-out to Breakdown. That's one of the very few games I paid $50 for on release day and loved it. It's also one of the only games to be so frustrating at one point, where you're in a room towards the end having to beat up mobs comprised of every variety of enemy in the game with no checkpoints, where I got so pissed that I started whipping the controller to the ground screaming "Motherfucker!" over and over.
Any of you guys play Eternal Champions for the Sega CD? My brothers and I played that for most of a year once. It's basically a super-version of the Genesis game but much better looking, so many more characters and secret deaths, and CGI cutscenes. The humor put in it was great, too. For instance, the hidden character that was a state Senator and his special moves involved stuff like throwing "red tape" at you and a missile-launching fatality. I've actually been thinking of picking up the whole Genesis/Sega CD combo again just to play it again.
Decent show again guys. You could tell you were drained and a bit slurry though. Butch, how could you not expand on Eternal Champions? This is still to this day, the only fighting game I ever got into. Xander.. We played this so much that we had the 6 button controllers and played tournaments religiously. I actually went through every character and wrote down their moves for my friends. My favorite was Rax, Butcher's was Jetta. Of course he always had the edge on me.
BTW...I try not to judge, but even I was astonished that you guys jerk off to video game vixens.

Established in 1995, the Singapore Environment Council (SEC) is an independently managed, non-profit, non-government organisation, and institution of public character that nurtures, facilitates and co-ordinates environmental causes in Singapore. The Council is also an approved charity that can offer tax exemption to donors.
SEC reaches out to the public through its educational, community and industrial arms. Each arm provides a range of holistic programmes that raises awareness of the natural environment and promotes a greater sense of environmental responsibility.
Some of SEC's more prominent programmes include the Singapore Environmental Achievement Awards, Project Eco-Office, Schools' Green Audit Awards and the Singapore G1. In addition, SEC also boasts a strong pool of volunteers who translate awareness into action.
Since its inception, SEC has built strong partnerships with corporations, government agencies and other non-government organisations (NGOs). These partnerships are vital for sustaining environmental programmes that eventually lead to positive action and change. Over the years, SEC has given strength and bearing to the environmental movement here.
As the most eminent green organisation in Singapore, SEC is often regarded as the umbrella organisation for many other environmental NGOs. The Council also sees itself as a catalyst to individual responsibility and action. It spearheads and co-ordinates national projects and leads island-wide responses to major environmental challenges.
The SEC aims to be the preferred non-government organisation partner for communities, businesses and governments to achieve best-in-class sustainable city development in Singapore and beyond.
Mission To create a lasting impact on climate change by collaborating with people, industries and governments to encourage and achieve sustainable urbanisation.

Bird Bopping for the Holidays
I was chatting with a friend this weekend about his son's school, STAR Academy in Los Angeles, which is affiliated with the exotic animal rescue organization STAR Eco Station which I hope to visit sometime. Junior and senior high school students learn to interact and care for parrots and other species as they are rehabilitated for adoption. We got to talking about birds and music, so if anyone dares listen to Christmas tunes already, here's Snowball the Sulfur-Crested Cockatoo dancing in some excerpts from his Christmas medley. (Good stuff really starts about half way in!)
Snowball is also a rescue bird, an 11 year old who was relinquished to the Bird Lover's Only Sanctuary because of behavioral problems. He has bonded with the owner, and she is keeping him. He's also turned into a great fund-raiser for the sanctuary. His commercial endorsement contracts include Soba water from Sweden:
Goes to show what a little knowledge and patience with training can do. I notice on the sanctuary web site, Barbara Heidenreich's Good Bird training site is listed in her favorites. You can purchase the whole Snowball Christmas DVD for a $15 donation to the sanctuary.
(Carly is also fond of bouncing her head and making drum sounds to music, but her sense of rhythm is from another universe!)
Anyone considering a great gift for a parrot lover, please check out some of the wonderful conservation and rescue organizations to the left which offer memberships, sponsorships, and other gifts to help fund their work.

Comments: Very easy to use.The only bad thing is the powerhead cords plug in to the front of the unit. would be much better if they would plug in the back. Power cord in back and 4 cords in front!
Comments: Great product! I just put my stuff together (4 koralia 3 + wavemaker) and my corals look pretty great, they are loving it already. I should have bought it before.
Thank you Koralia!!!!
Comments: It is an easy product to set up. Cheaper than it's competitors. For a reason. I bought the 2-way controller with the Koralia 4's which I think were the biggest available at the time for a 120 gal SPS tank. Barely noticeable effect. I saved up and replaced them with Vortech MP-40's which are ridiculously priced, but well worth saving up for. Just put the Koralia system on a 20 gal experimental non-photosynthetic coral tank. They don't even maintain the same water movement in a 20 gal as the Vortechs do in a 120 gal.
Comments: I bought the two way unit with Koralia 8's. Cords from the magnum 8s to the wavemaker is like 6' ft so it's adequate for bigger tanks. The 8's are the size of a large orange or grape fruit.

My first test in a 4'x3'x17" is that it's too powerful (wasn't meant to be for this tank). It's going into the in progress 8'x4'30" tank.

But in the 4'x3', I had to turn the maximum at only 1/4" turn from minimum and it had the sand going everywhere.

Once I've put it in and set it for 2 sec changes, the fishes (tangs/triggers/angels) where in the middle of the tank trying to ride the wave. They seem content with it.

It doesn't really produce waves -ala Vortechs, but does an okay job at making back and forth currents.

With the total of $500 I've spent, I could of pony up another 200 for the Vortech MP60, or get two MP40s -but I think this will do what I want it to do for now.

Pros: Dead silent. Can't tell they are on unless I'm looking at the debris or fishes swaying in the tank.
Okay to good cost to performance ratio - moves a lot of water.

Cons: Not really waves such as a wavemaker or Vortech MPxx series (but they are finicky and loud at times).
Comments: Delivered on a friday at 5 pm, hooked up and working before 6. Yes, it is that easy to set up ! My corals really like the back and forth waves and have opened up larger than ever. GREAT PRODUCT ! A little pricey but worth every penny !
Comments: Keeping a mixed reef with Soft, SPS, LPS corals with different water flow needs can be tough. This controller allows you to create low, medium, and high flow areas in one tank system by use of multiple pumps set at different flows.
Comments: just hooked up this in exchange for the hydor koralia 2 worth every penny i should have bought this model for my 75 gallon first but i was a little nervous NOT ANY MORE
Comments: I had the Wavemaker 2 before. It died after two years so I purchased the Wavemaker 4. It is an amazing unit with tons of useful functions. Pretty much just plug and play.
It is 100% programmable for those who want do so, for others, their are many built in wave programs.
The night and food features are quite nice too.
The 4 has the LCD monitor that the 2 does not. This gives you a visual representation of what's going on with your pumps at any moment. It also make programming easy!

Comments: I have the Deluxe controller installed on two Magnum 8's and am very happy with this controller. It is easy to set up/program and the pumps run so quiet you have to put your ear right up to the tank to hear them (not like the Vortechs-noisey!). The controller is fairly large and has some weight to it!
The only thing I have negative to say is the cooling fan and plug is on the back so it needs to have space to allow for air flow and the straight plug. With the cords for the pumps coming out of the front the unit needs some room or mounted on a shelf flat (mounting it sideways means the display is difficult to read).

They are a little pricey and so are the larger pumps, but you pay for professional marine equipment.
Comments: This Is The Roman Empire Of Pumps Controllers.
Robust,Solid and at the same time intelligent.
Smart Hydor with it`s fiber Optic Cable Not Included,
slows down at night and returns at normal in morning.
For Me IS THE BEST.
Comments: I recently purchased the Hydor Koralia Wavemaker 2 with 2 K 4's (12V) pumps and love em. So far, all I can say is nice job Hydor! The pumps are working smoothly and you hear no noise comming from the pumps and the wavemaker. I have been playing with the unit for a few hours and find that the best setting for my tank is the alternating effect every 2 seconds with the minimum 550 GPH and maximum 1,400 GPH. Its amazing how the pumps change speed so fast causing my corals to remain upright and swaying side to side. Its as if they are breefly blasted with a soft flow every 2 seconds comming from all directions. Water is being pushed back and forth and my fishes love it. The fact that I can have total control of the flow and that there is no more rattling noise from the old pumps is enough for me to offset the price of this unit. All in all, I am very satisfied with it and highly recomend it.
Thank you for taking the time to review our products.

Suitcase Posse Talking Dolls
From the comedic genius of Jeff Dunham comes these outrageous talking dolls. Each one is 18" tall and moves its mouth when it speaks; press the hand to hear nearly a dozen of that character's signature phrases. Achmed's phrases include "Good evening, infidel" and "Silence, I KEEL you!" Peanut says, "Dat's good, dat's good, dat's gooood!" and "A bunch of my friends are on sticks." Curmudgeonly Walter weighs in with phrases like "Oww, Jerk!" and "What am I, a doorbell?" Dunham's growing legions of fans will appreciate this slightly twisted humor.
Each is molded plastic and plush, and require 3AA batteries (included). 18"H x 6-1/2"W x 5"D.

paillettes are coming up very much so & have been for a while. there are the seven for all mankind jeans and recently a juicy couture tank top. the problem is because it can be very intricate--the pricing is very well over your average tank top cost. they're so beautiful though. i love them. they're like sequins but more. they go against the conventional sequin-covered dresses that i seem to seeing more and more of everyday.
i am awesomeness
I love paillettes! That dress does need to be more fitted though. The style is awesome anyway
I am French, and to me, "paillette" means something much smaller, more like "glitter" for clothing or makeup, or "sprinkles" for food.

Christopher is still not a fan of costumes, although he did like his brother's hat, and was a little bummed his did not come with one. It had a hood but he wasn't into that. And he definitely does not like anyone or anything that wears a mask. So it's a good thing no one in our group was wearing one, and we didn't encounter any while Trick or Treating.
And let me tell you, he was one cute bag of bones huh?
And tell me Thomas doesn't just look exactly like Woody? Even if his hat looked more like a sombrero than a cowboy hat! Didn't matter he didn't wear it at all except for pictures!
