Rewarding Work

General Nonsense
[Updated with link to the graph I referenced. Thanks to the folks who found it.]
The other day I saw a very cool
that showed which vitamins and supplements have good science behind them and which ones don't. The graphic was interesting on several levels. The first thing I noticed was how cleverly constructed it was. I could see at a glance which vitamins and supplements are supported by science. The graph was interesting enough to keep me staring at it, following its little lines and connections as if searching for Waldo. That level of engagement probably helped me retain more information than if I had skimmed it.
The next thing I realized is what a good public service this graph was. Millions of people would see it and come away with knowledge that directly applies to their own health. Some people might start taking useful supplements and vitamins and others might discontinue the ones that science doesn't support. There's a good chance that the creator of the clever graphic saved some lives. How many of you have a job that rewarding?
I was wondering about the artist who made the graph. Did he or she get this assignment and think
I can save some lives
? Or was it just another assignment and just another paycheck? People who are primarily working for money can do
work, but the cleverness of this particular graph suggests there was a stronger motivation behind it. I think the creator was aware of the stakes and elevated his or her game through intrinsic motivation.
Whenever you see the x-factor in someone's output - that little extra something that turns the good into the awesome - it's a marker for intrinsic motivation. Monetary motivation plateaus at the point you think your work equals your pay. For most people, that happens when the product is good but not awesome. To get to awesome you need to think you might be changing the world, saving lives, redeeming your reputation, attracting the mate of your dreams, or something else that is emotionally large.
One of my techniques for staying motivated is that I put everything I do in the context of how it might improve the entire world, or at least some subset of it. With Dilbert I imagine that at least some of my output makes people laugh, or smirk, or feel less alone in their misery. Laughter decreases stress, which improves health and increases both productivity and creativity. In a very small way I'm nudging the world in a positive direction. That thought helps me dig deeper to find the x-factor for tomorrow's comic.
Then there's this blog. I don't expect anything I write here to directly influence world events or to change anyone's mind about anything. But what I know from my work as a creator of content is that all creativity comes from putting existing ideas into a mixing bowl then swirling the whole mess around to see what happens. The more ideas you are exposed to, the more likely one of your mixtures will produce something great. If you read any idea in this blog that you wouldn't have thought on your own, your creative potential is increased. That's a big deal because nothing of importance has ever been done without creativity. I'm motivated by the thought that I'm contributing to civilization's creative pool.
This brings me to your job, whatever that might be. Is there any opportunity - no matter how small - for you to change the world through your work?
Leave me a comment and tell me what you're doing that could change the world, no matter now slightly, in a positive direction.

I have multiple sclerosis, and after I was diagnosed in early 2006, one of the first things I learned about it was the increasing incidence the further away from the Equator you go. It was a short process that got me thinking Latitude ... Sunshine ... Vitamin D - and so I started taking Vitamin D pretty much straight away. Not a megadose, just the standard RDA. I think it's made a difference, though I have been on other treatments for 5 years now.
What some research shows is that my Vitamin D levels aren't as relevant as my mother's were; I was born in the Spring in Scotland, so there's a good chance my mother was deficient while carrying me. So, ladies, it's better that you get pregnant towards the end of Winter, and get out for a regular waddle in the sunshine!

@Therion, The thing preventing the world from moving past capitalism is the notion of self-interest. And the thing preventing anything OTHER than capitalism is that the majority of people don't do work without self-interest factored into it. It's cool that a teensy, tiny fraction of the world's population is willing to do altruistic work (primarily when their needs are addressed via some other channel), but you wouldn't have anything resembling an economy (capitalist or need based or whatever) without providing work incentives.

Your question does not line up with your presentation. You point out a graph that may or may not actually relate to health, without any real level of correlation between how much each of those things matter in relation to other things. Not to mention the risks associated with some of the items there.
For example, one of the big winners in that graph is vitamin D. It's so great, it shows up in two places. Based on that graph, we should all run out and buy a zillion units of vitamin D, and we'll all live forever!
One problem. Vitamin D, as is vitamin A, are fat-soluble vitamins, unlike, say, vitamin C which is water soluble. With water-soluble vitamins, your body can easily rid itself of them when it has more than it needs; it comes out in our urine. Dr. Dean Edell of radio fame used to say that Americans had the most valuable urine of anywhere in the world because it is so loaded with unneeded vitamins.
But fat-soluble vitamins are a different story. They get stored in our fat tissues, and are thus hard to get rid of. You can get too much vitamin A and vitamin D. Too much vitamin D causes a buildup of calcium, and can lead to kidney problems.
What about the relative virtue of the vitamins and supplements versus other health factors, such as diet and exercise? Not only that, but can you recall how many things "science" once said were bad for you that are now considered good for you? Can you say Alar? How about shellfish raising cholesterol? How about caffeine causing cancer, where now it's considered good for you?
I will never forget the old Woody Allen movie, "Sleeper," where Woody's character is frozen after a failed hernia operation and re-awakened in a far-off future time. Two doctors are discussing his earlier life. One doctor asks the other what Woody's character did back in old New York. The other doctor replied, "He ran something called a 'health food store.'" The first doctor asks, "A health food store? What is that?" The first doctor replies, "In those days, people thought that they would be healthier if they ate things like wheat germ and took vitamins." The first doctor replies, incredulously, "Had they no Big Macs? Had they no hot fudge sundaes?"
In any case, I have learned over the years to take such graphs with a big grain of salt. Eat reasonable amounts, exercise regularly, and ignore the health fad du jure.
But as to Scott's question: my wife and I (mostly her) have a business that assists senior citizens with the complexity of modern living: dealing with Medicare and insurance companies, banks and other financial institutions. She also monitors caregivers and other service providers, helping guard against financial abuse and physical abuse of seniors. Not an earth-shattering change, but at least an attempt to help a less-able segment of society cope with confusing issues and lead fuller, more enjoyable lives. In one case, she was able to help one of her seniors recover from a relative's use of her identity to the tune of over $30,000.
Nothing major, but at least we've been able to help a few people over the years.

Speaking of what's rewarding and what's good for humanity. I think Fox-News-watching, right-wing libertarians are the biggest force for evil on the planet right now. Singlehandedly they're preventing the world from moving beyond capitalism.

Whoa - I never said I was Albert Schweitzer!
But @whtllnew: I'm sure you'd agree with Churchill that jaw-jaw is always better than war-war. Every day I see those countries you mention arguing around a table, instead of cutting all communications except the kind we see today between the US, Iran and Israel, i.e. self-serving propaganda. We know where that ends.
And PeterJ57: I didn't say we advocate the EU's policies on anything. If EU citizens say we are distorting the market and creating poverty we make sure people hear what they have to say, in everyone's language.
Maybe a little less cynicism would help you appreciate the graph too.

I'm reminded of the kid who was admonished for pulling the wings off butterflies.
He explained about all the earthquakes he was preventing on the other side of the world.
The urge to do good is strong - but it is totally subjective.
Charity can often be shown to prolong the agony - in many cases the country can't support the population growth, in others the world aid simply prolongs the war which caused the problem.
Our EU commenter just proved the point. The EU is putting countries into poverty and distorting the free market worldwide - yet these people think they are doing good.
Dilbert does a valuable public service. Many people don't question - Dilbert puts forward a cynical alternative that makes them examine their own views on the subject.
As to the graph - I clicked on the men button and concluded that men don't have problems and women do. I added that to the female gullibility for hair and "beauty" products and thought there is a mental issue there to solve, rather than a chemical one.
But as someone said statistics are like bikinis - it is not what they reveal but what they hide which is interesting. No statistics to relate health to wealth. Nothing on race. Age. Housing. I'll bet all of those have a lot of influence.
How did the graph designer relate one survey to another? Did he weight the undergraduate research equally to the lifetime in the field people? The drug company sponsored "research" equally to the independent? The trial on a hundred people equally to the million subjects?
Without those the pretty graph is just that - a pretty graph.

Scott, I luckily enough to work for a company that design, manufacture and sells fitness equipment and related services. So we are always looking for new ways of getting more people into physical activity.
My last project (which is a bit crazy) relates to a simple idea that try to answer the following question: can we inspire people to get active? Answer: let's tell people what other people similar to them do so to get some inspiration.
We are in the early stages and testing it in the UK (you can try it at http://www.movergy.com )
If someone starts trying something new and changes her lifestyle so to include more physical activity, that would be a great results.

[I guess that doesn't mean much in the US, but over here the last few times we didn't listen to each other we tended to end up in, err, World Wars. ]
...really...I suppose as an ignorant yankee I shouldn't tell Europeans how they ended up in world wars but I had the impression that poor communication had little to do with how you ended up in WWI and WWII.
To brutally oversimplify I had the impression that the reason you ended up in WWI was because Germany was becoming a major power, France wasn't ready for that and managed to get Britain and Russia on their side. And I had the impression the reason you ended up in WWII was because the Germans, after years of political and economic chaos, chose as their leader someone who was bound and determined to undo Germany's defeat in WWI at the same time Britain and France were (temporarily) too scared to stop him. I further had the impression that the major players in these conflicts had no trouble getting across the message they wanted to get across.
Not saying your work is unimportant. Just asking where poor communication enters into WWI and WWII.

Nice post!
We work as translators and interpreters for the European Union here in Brussels. We know we make a difference, allowing people to understand each other's point of view, get their voices heard, make multilingual democracy work.
I guess that doesn't mean much in the US, but over here the last few times we didn't listen to each other we tended to end up in, err, World Wars.
So yes, I like to think we make a real difference. Obviously our PHBs (who know a few words of English, or French) just think we're a ridiculous extra expense.
Watch this space to see how the Greeks explain things to the Germans and French over the next few months - and don't assume that they'll manage to do it all in English...

You're way too optimistic about the world, Scott... Did you see that recent article that said that people suffering from mild to moderate depression have a dramatically more realistic view of the world?
I once heard about the "thirds" in a company: The top third do most of the work. The middle third does roughly their share. The bottom third does nothing, frequently negating the work of the other two thirds. That sounds about right to me.
I wanted to rant about this for an additional few paragraphs, but suffice it to say that I spend the vast majority (90%) of my job doing regulatory and compliance stuff for my software, instead of programming it. This ironically results in far worse software, because I don't have time to add new features, fix UI problems, or do more than minimal testing.

I've helped lots of people with 23 years as a voluntary mountain rescue member. I also got involved as joint editor of a free-to-download booklet "Travel at High Altitude" on how to keep healthy (and alive) while at altitude, which has now been translated into 12 more languages and from responses we have had it's certainly saved the lives of many people.
Keeps all the problems of work as an electronic design engineer in their right place - it's only a job.....

Well, my job is in the AP dept of my local government to make sure the doctors who look after the poor get paid. I would like to think that making sure doctors who look after the poor staying in business is a good thing for society. But then the new computer system we are using sucks and doesn't work, the dept that actually pays the bills reeks of incompetence, and some of the doctors are weasels trying to double and triple bill us and that saps money from our budget.
I'm also going to post to my own blog that putting ethanol into gas during a major drought is a stupid idea. Ethanol is worse for the environment than gas and frankly we need to use the water to protect our food crops instead. People can make do on a little less gas, not so much if they lose too much food. I doubt many people will see the post though... :
BTW, I like the worth it line in that graph. It seemed like one of those little extras to me.

@jibbley If a substance had "other miraculous benefits", then there would have been a study done to verify the claim. If the study had been done, it would have a bubble on the chart somewhere. If a supplement has been studied in relation to more than one condition, it has more than one bubble. If the study has not been done, there can't be a bubble. You can't rate the effectiveness of a supplement that hasn't been studied, because IT HASN'T BEEN STUDIED. Of course the chart is incomplete. Human knowledge is incomplete. That's why scientists do studies; to add more data to human knowledge.

That char is worse than useless, it's a classic example of "make a man believe he's thinking and he'll love you for it, make a man actually think and he'll despise you".
Problem: It only lists relationships between substances and very specific diseases. Take a random example - lycopene. If you find it on the chart (which isn't easy, btw, another failing of the chart..) you'll come away thinking it's useless because it only has a listing for "prostate cancer". It may have other miraculous benefits but you'll never know because the author of that chart didn't have a study at hand. The chart's incompleteness is what makes it dangerous - you assume it's complete whereas if they filled in the missing items it could change radically.
It's also confusing because many things appear on it multiple times in different places. It took me a while to figure out and other people seem to be having the same problem.
Disclaimer: The only reason I picked lycopene is because I've got a slice of watermelon in front of me with a "high in lycopene" sticker on it. I have no idea what lycopene is.

.I work at throwing many ideas around and I currently have a few at my plate.
My primary work right now is... I have been working on a hypothesis to a possible cause of multiple sclerosis.( An neurodegenerative auto immune disease)
lately I have been studying what lab work needs to be done to test my hypothesis. And i'm finding I may have 3 hypothesis all together.
My idea is quite novel in regards to the immunological, biochemical mechanisms, and the somewhat relative simplicity of the possible mechanism of pathogenesis of the disease.
My father has multiple sclerosis and I have seen the effects of the disease on him and others.
I'm pretty motivated to finish my paper. I work pretty freaking hard on my research. And at times its all I can concentrate on. I cant do the multitasking thing so well though....
As to rather if i'm wrong or right with my MS work, it's ok to me either way. Over the past few years I have gained a wealth of knowledge and creativity that only few people possess.
I have multiple roads and directions I can go with my ideas...
I think of ideas like fishing.The more poles a person puts out in the pond, the higher the probability of having a catch.

Music Reviews
Album Review: Steve Aoki - 'Pillowface and his Airplane Chronicles'
By Jeff Swindoll Feb 6, 2008, 4:05 GMT
Steve Aoki is a well known California DJ and the founder of Dim Mak Records. It should come as no surprise that his debut album is on that label, no big shock huh? Since Im not in California, where his fame is widespread so Ive heard, I had no idea who exactly he was.
He comes from successful stock as his father Hiroaki Rocky Aoki is a former Olympic wrestler and founded the Benihana restaurant chain and his sister Devon is an actress (made an impression as Mehi in the Sin City movie).
His debut puts his mixing skills to the test and also includes guest vocals from Steve Bays (of Hot Hot Heat), Todd Fink (of the Faint), Spank Rock, Mickey Avalon, Uffie, Pase Rock, Kid Sister, Amanda Blank, and Santogold (called Guest Drops on the tracks).
Im one that thinks that club music heard outside of the club just doesnt sound right, but Aoki has collected his favorite mixers together, including a few that are on his own label, to make this compilation.
I cant say that anything is really terrible, but it does sound like youd be more at home listening to these as you gyrate around on the dance floor instead of at your desk at work (as I did today).
The most interesting track to me was Does it Offend You, Yeah? which sets out to do just that. Its an interesting album that you might want to pick up to have on at your next party.

Thank you for your compassion
-Richard Crist from Port Orchard, WA
Pet Name: Copper
Just a note to Dr. Krug and all the staff there, thanking you all for your compassion, gentleness, patience and dignity in allowing my best buddy "Copper" to pass on with dignity and love. Possibly the most difficult decision I have ever had to make, I really appreciated your assurance that Copper's passing was painless and without trauma. You are the best. Allowing me to hold my best buddy for 17 years while the tender hand of God slid in and took her away was very special and I appreciate your patience with me. Thank you all. Again, you are the best.
Compassion and Trust
-Julie and Lynn Stark from Port Orchard, WA
Pet Name: Xandor, Tausha, Rusty, Birdy
We love Dr Cook Olson. She has saved and prolonged the life for several of our dear babies. She has the utmost compassion for not only the animals but for you as well. Because of everyone's care and compassion here, this is the only place we will come to when it is time for our babies to a more peaceful place. Thank you so much for all you've done for us.
Impressed by the staff as always
-Jenny Cundiff from Silverdale, WA
Pet Name: Riley and Razzoli
We have been going to Central Kitsap Animal Hospital for almost 6 years since Riley was a kitten. I have always loved how genuine the staff was about their love for animals. With the recent addition of kitten Razzoli to the household, I was once again impressed by the caring and knowledgeable staff, specifically Dr. Blair and her assistant. As always, each time we come in for an appointment I am thankful that such a great team is available for our regular and if need be, emergency care. Thanks again!!!!
Helping Animals and Owners
-Steven Abrams from Port Orchard, WA
Pet Name: Midnite
Thank you Dr. Michelle Sands and staff. Certainly the most difficult decision I ever had to make was to have my faithful companion of 12 years, Midnite, peacefully pass. Your patience and understanding will never be forgotten and I thank you for allowing me the time and opportunity to be with him to say goodbye during his passing. Your service to animals that commit 100 percent of unconditional love to their caretakers is truly a wonderful thing. Midnite is irreplaceable and will be missed. Thank you.
Cart for Denbigh
-Janet Johnson from Poulsbo, WA
Pet Name: Janet Johnson
Thank you, Dr. Blair for telling me how Denbigh might benefit from a cart. I took him to Whidbey Island (an easy trip by the Port Townsend ferry) and had him fitted at K9 carts. They were so experienced at fittings, and their cart fit so perfectly that Denbigh was playing soccer again in minutes. After two weeks he can run the ball past my speedy grandson team again. While his DM is progressing toooo rapidly, he again show JOY in living!
Eva's New Knees
-Riley and Marla Thompson from Whitehall, MT
Pet Name: Eva and Jojo
Thanks to the entire staff at the hospital and, particularly, Dr. Hickey for the exceptional care she gave Eva (and her parents) when we endured TWO knee surgeries (TPLO) when she was 2-1/2 years old. She is now 9 and living in Montana where she is still a hard charger and finds many rabbits, rock chucks and chipmunks to chase. She has caught a few but will trade them for a bite of cheese any day. We love her dearly and thank you all for giving her (and us) the love and care we needed to get through the surgery and recovery. You are all truly dedicated to the cause. AND, her brother Jojo is doing fine living in Montana and he sends his thanks too.

There she develops a close friendship with Mario, a local farm boy and jockey. As the children explore the sun-drenched Pampas prairies and each other, they begin to question the similarities they share, and what makes them different.

One of the most important parts of a person's Facebook presence is their profile photo. This is displayed in the top left corner of a page. The photo can be a newly uploaded image or it may be drawn from any of your online albums.
Typically, a profile photo shows someone's face, and appears in front of the light blue-grey line that connects from the left side of the profile to the left-most tab. View an example of a typical profile page with a normal photo.

Top 12 Facebook Marketing Hacks
Over the past week there has been a bunch of buzz about what essentially are Facebook marketing hacks; quick "guerilla" tactics that help boost exposure to your profile or brand. Whether you are a small business or a big business, there are some quick "tricks" that can instantly gain you more exposure. These Facebook marketing hacks are not encouraged by Facebook and ultimately, I would assume that Facebook will develop filters for people gaming the system.
Facebook Marketing Hack 1: Tag Popular Friends in Photos
This trick has been written about extensively over the past week. A couple weeks ago, Sam Lessin posted about the topic on Advertising Age. This Facebook hack is pretty straight forward. You simply upload a photo which has some sort of promotional value in addition to a photo description which can be used for promotional purposes. Proceed to tag your most influential friends (friends with the most contacts), and submit the photo.
Facebook places a high priority on photo tagging when it comes to news feed stories so this is a great way for getting promotion. As I said before, this is gaming the system though and Facebook will inevitably develop tools to monitor this type of activity. If you abuse Facebook tagging, you may not only begin to receive warnings from Facebook that your Facebook account will be deactivated, but you could also anger your friends.
Back in July I suggested that Facebook enable brands to tag photos with their brand which links to their brand page. While individuals may get frustrated with brands over-tagging photos, the brands also risk annoying their customer base and this will be a disincentive for photo tag spamming.

Alright, marshmallows, we waited seven years for this — and it was worth every frakking second!
The Veronica Mars movie was filled with all the secrets, romance and yes, even murder, that we've come to expect from the franchise. But how did the cast feel about some of the film's biggest twists? TVGuide.com spoke to the stars and creator Rob Thomas at the New York City premiere to weigh in on where Veronica (Kristen Bell) ended up, who she ended up with and more.
[Warning: The following contains major spoilers from the Veronica Mars movie.]
When Veronica is hired to track down a girl with whom a classmate, Max (ADAM ROSE - "Malcolm in the Middle"), shared an incredible one-night stand, she discovers the girl is not who she says she is. watch

The Union is squaring off against the South again. This time it's Detroit's union — the UAW — partnering with the auto manufacturers, politicians, and media supporters of the domestic auto industry to wage warfare against the entire South.
The problem here centers on certain southern states — Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia and, in particular, Alabama — where certain bone-headed senators seem to have forgotten that the Civil War ended, with the appropriate outcome, almost 150 years ago.
What's more, these Alabama representatives argued that they and other southern states had plenty of automotive manufacturing capacity to take up the slack and keep the country's economy going if Detroit was to go belly up. Specifically, Alabama's Republican senator Richard Shelby called Detroit a 'dinosaur' and said bankruptcy was a better solution to the problems facing U.S. carmakers. The state's other senator, Jeff Sessions, also a Republican, said Detroit's collapse would "not be the end of the world. We have a very large and vibrant automobile sector in Alabama."
That's Detroit News columnist John McCormick, who labeled Southern politicians opposing the bailout "good old southern boys."
Detroiters continue to embarrass themselves by placing the auto industry collapse into an us-versus-them framework. In the midst of all the whining and begging for a bailout, the South has been declared the new enemy, along with the foreign-car manufacturers who are producing cars — in Southern plants — that consumers want to buy. The army of politicians and opinion columnists in Michigan who lay the groundwork for resuscitating this fading industry don't bother to acknowledge that it is in the best interests of any public company to maximize quality for its customers and efficiency of production and profits for its shareholders.
Instead, Toyota and Honda are pegged as evil because they are thriving. They are especially evil for building plants that aren't located near Detroit. However, it is important to remember that foreign auto manufacturers are able to build plants where they want to build them, according to what fits best into their strategic plans and potential for profit. The US automakers have UAW officials making those decisions for them for the sole purpose of enriching the union's overpaid officers and dues-paying members.

All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914
By Peter Rothstein
With musical arrangements by Erick Lichte and Timothy C. Takach
Last here in 2008 for the A Cappella festival, male choral ensemble Cantus returns with arrangements of European carols and war-songs for a cappella voices in All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914. It recalls the remarkable World War I truce between Allied Forces and German soldiers in No Man's Land on Christmas, 1914. All Is Calm tells the story of this extraordinary event with words and songs from the soldiers who laid down their arms to celebrate Christmas. In some places, the truce lasted just for a night, in others until New Year's Day, but during those fleeting moments in a war that lasted four years, enemy troops traded carols, food, and drink; played soccer matches; and helped bury each other's dead. This dramatic re-telling contains quotes from 30 World War I figures and the tapestry of sound ranges from patriotic tunes and trench songs to medieval Scottish ballads and holiday carols from England, Wales, France, and Germany. The music is performed by the artists of Cantus, who also open the production with a set of Christmas carols arranged by English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams for his own battalion.
Post Performance Discussion: Immediately following the performance, Peter Rothstein talks about the creation of All Is Calm, the research he conducted in England, France, Belgium, and Germany, and the vital role that music played in the Christmas Truce of 1914. Audience members will have the opportunity to ask questions.

More than two dozen pets and wild animals have recently turned up dead and Jackson County authorities are searching for whoever is targeting pets in the area.
Unfortunately, this has been going on for months and whoever is doing this is leaving the poisoned food right out in the open.
Dirt roads are turning into animal death traps.
In the last two months, more than two dozen dogs, cats, and wild hogs have been found dead along side roads.
It's happening on the west side of Jackson County, south of Interstate 10 and just north of Alford.
Some of the contaminated food was found and turned in to the Department of Agriculture for testing.
John Dennis with the Jackson Co. Sherriff's Department said, "We got some results back from a sausage biscuit. It was found along side the road in that same area with a dead animal next to it. The sausage biscuit did have the poison Temik in it."
Temik is a common chemical used by farmers, but it is deadly if ingested.
Jackson County resident Larry Morris experienced this first hand.
One of his dogs got a hold of some tainted food left by the roadside, but by the time Morris got the dog to a doctor, it was too late.
"It was having convulsions and all," Morris said. "They put him on an IV, but he died in a couple of hours."
Morris says he's been dealing with this problem for a long time, losing more than 10 pets to poisoning over the past few years.
This year, he's already had to bury one dog and two cats.
"They were pets," Morris said. "I miss my dog because it was a pet. And of course the cats were my daughter's and my wife's pet."
Police are trying to put a stop to this before any more animals have to die.
Investigators say the chemical, Temik, is obviously getting into the wrong hands.
Anyone convicted for these crimes could face jail time.
Police need your help catching the suspects. You can call Crime Stoppers at 850-526-5000.
A $1000 dollar reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest.

Birst Switches From Legacy Marketing Automation Platform To Marketo And Improves Results While Slashing Costs
SAN MATEO, Calif., April 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Marketo, the provider of a leading cloud-based marketing software platform, today announced that Birst has replaced its legacy marketing automation platform with Marketo's easy, powerful and complete marketing software. Birst switched to Marketo to boost its lead generation efforts as it continues to grow and expand internationally. The leading provider of enterprise-caliber cloud BI selected Marketo for its unique flexibility and rich functionality.

Providing rich business intelligence capabilities to more than 1,000 organizations, Birst is one of today's fastest-growing global B2B software providers. Birst's dynamic dashboards, reporting and analytics enable business users to combine data from different systems and obtain answers to pressing business questions quickly.Birst experienced many setbacks with its prior marketing automation solution. For one, data synchronization between it and Salesforce.com took upwards of two hours. This not only bogged down the marketing team's fast-paced environment, but it also made it impossible to act on lead behavior effectively. Additionally, the antiquated system required a tremendous investment of resources to manage its cumbersome software. Birst's stakeholders wanted an intelligent system with sophisticated integration—and one that didn't break the marketing department's budget. Birst discovered the cost to purchase Marketo's solutions was half the cost of the renewal rate of its previous marketing platform. The leap to Marketo was the clear choice. After the switch, Birst cut their administration time in half using modern capabilities such as automated data field updates, auto responders, and real-time website API integration. This resulted not only in an agile upgrade, but also deliver important cost savings. In addition, Marketo integrated with Salesforce.com seamlessly, eliminating tedious batch synchronization, allowing the team to leverage real-time pipeline visibility and drive increased revenues.

Following the economic liberalisation in 1991 and the gradual weakening of the license raj, a number of Indian and multinational car companies launched their operations in India. Since then, automotive component and automobile manufacturing growth has accelerated to meet growing domestic and export demands.
The automotive coatings market is currently bifurcated into OEMs and auto refinishes, and it is one of the fastest growing sub sectors in the Indian Industrial paint markets. The OEM market is the most predominant one, where the action has been remarkable in the last decade and half with almost all the major automobile companies setting up manufacturing operations in India. The refinishing paint system includes coating systems for passenger cars, commercial vehicles and two-wheeler markets. This market has been demanding exacting coatings for their end products. This has prompted the Indian paint manufacturers to join hands with international paint companies to provide quality coatings. The demand for automotive paints is closely correlated to the growth of the industry in particular and economy in general.
Being a strong player in the Industrial segment, Asian Paints Limited felt the need to combine state-of-art-technology with its nation-wide distribution network. Incidentally, PPG Industries, Inc. of USA, the largest producer and supplier of automotive coatings to major global car manufacturers, was also looking for a partner to venture into India.
Thus, a 50-50 joint venture took place between these two giants, leading to the creation of PPG Asian Paints Private Limited (PPG Asian Paints). Incorporated on 19th February 1997, PPG Asian Paints's strategy has been to offer better value through closely tailoring its offerings to customer requirements and providing superior service. A combination of expertise and skills garnered from the parent companies and learnings created from within has equipped PPG Asian Paints with the wherewithal to create integrated solutions in addressing consumer needs.
PPG Asian Paints is engaged in the business of manufacturing and marketing automotive and industrial paints. The synergy between the parents helped PPG Asian Paints commence its operations for CED in the month of August 1997. The rest of OEM business was transferred from Asian Paints in October 1997.
In the first year of operation (year ended 31st March 1998), PPG Asian Paints recorded a sale of Rs. 118.76 million. In the year 2009-10, the consolidated sale was Rs. 4903.94 million – CAGR of 36.3% since inception.
In refinishes, the business of Asian Paints was transferred to the company in August 1999. In the auto-refinish segment, PPG Asian Paints's brands include 2K Nexa, Deltron GRS, Bilux, and Aspa. 2K Nexa and Deltron GRS are PPG Industries' international brands in high-end polyurethane paints.
In 2001-02, PPG Asian Paints launched a new economy polyurethane system in the refinish market under the brand name of Bilux. The various ancillary products offered to refinish customers were brought under the 'Autobasic' umbrella brand to facilitate better recognition and communication.
In 2001-02, PPG Asian Paints received an award for 'overall performance' from Hyundai Motor India Limited. In 2006-07, Bilux, PPG Asian Paints's economy PU offering in the refinish market, saw yet another year of impressive growth making it the largest selling brand in its category.
Previously, the company depended on Asian Paints for its entire requirements, but with the acquisition of the Chennai-based Faaber Paints Private Limited (Faber Paints) in August 2006, it now produces paints in-house. With the commissioning of its new manufacturing facility in Chennai in March 2008, reliance on Asian Paints for manufacturing reduced further.
In March 2007, with the acquisition of the advanced refinish 2K business from ICI India Ltd. (ICI India), PPG Asian Paints became the leader in the premium refinish segment.
PPG Asian Paints is the second-largest player in industrial automotive paints and market leader in auto-refinish segment.
PPG Asian Paints is the second-largest player in the automotive OEM paint segment with a market share of 24% percent. PPG Asian Paints is one of the largest suppliers of paints to the Indian venture of Hyundai Motor India, General Motors India and it is the sole supplier to New Holland Tractors India. PPG Asian Paints is also the leading supplier of acrylic CED coating to leading two-wheeler companies: Hero Honda Motors Ltd., TVS Motor Company, and Bajaj Auto Ltd. In addition to Tata Motors Ltd., the company has other automotive players in its client list: Volkwagen India, Ford India Ltd., Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., and Honda Motorcycles and Scooters India.
PPG Asian Paints continues to maintain its strong presence in automotive OEM paint segment.
PPG Asian Paints became the market leader in the premium segment of the auto refinish business, following the acquisition of advanced refinish 2K business from ICI India in March 2007. It also enjoys market dominance in the alkyds segment, supported by its numerous variants in the segment.
PPG Asian Paints is an established player in polyurethane paints, which is the fastest-growing segment in the auto refinish business. These paints score over conventional paints on price and quality. They are competitively priced vis-à-vis nitro-cellulose paints; although in terms of finish, the two are comparable. Consumers have, therefore, begun to shift from conventional paints to polyurethane paints.
PPG Asian Paints is market leader in auto refinish segment after the acquisition of advanced refinish 2K business from ICI India.
PPG Asian Paints is an equal JV between Asian Paints - India's largest producer of decorative paints and the US-based PPG Industries - a leading supplier of automotive and industrial paints. PPG Asian Paints services the automotive and auto ancillary segments in India.
PPG Asian Paints's established market position arises from its strong brand equity, benefits derived from Asian Paints' wide distribution network, and strong technological support from PPG Industries. The company uses PPG Industries' technology in the automotive paints processes, including pre-treatment of chemicals, CED, and intermediate and top coatings. The company is able to avail of bulk discounts from its joint procurement deals with Asian Paints for raw materials, leading to economies of scale. It also derives managerial, logistical and business support from Asian Paints. In addition, PPG Asian Paints has toll manufacturing agreements with Asian Paints, leading to optimisation of logistic costs, as it uses its parent's multi-locational plants.
PPG Asian Paints established a market position because of support from parents, and strong brand equity.
On 16th March 2007, PPG Asian Paints acquired the 'Advanced Refinish 2K Business' from ICI India Limited. This business, i.e. trading in PPG's Autocolor advanced refinish paints, was acquired as a going concern on a slump sale basis for an aggregate consideration of Rs. 518.00 million (excluding stamp duty) subject to certain working capital adjustments.
Faaber Paints Private Limited has become a wholly owned subsidiary of PPG Asian Paints with the acquisition of its entire equity for a consideration of Rs. 40 million in August 2006. The unit has an annual capacity to manufacture 3000 KL of paints and 3000 KL of thinners. It also has a CED coating facility with an annual capacity to coat 4,32,000 sq. meter of surface area.

Memorable Moments from the 2012 Season
Dynasty?: Much as Red Mountain might try — noting it's a significantly different group of players each year — it's difficult to argue against the "D" word after Red Mountain won a third consecutive big-school state championship. The Lions had a core group (Haley Culley, Bre Macha, Siera Phillips, Jordan Beck) which returned after being a huge portion of the 2011 championship team, and the Phillips/Macha combination on the pitcher's mound set the Lions apart from the rest even while navigating through split innings and Macha's back injury that cost her three weeks but returned and came up big in the postseason. This team's original claim to fame: These Lions didn't follow "The Red Mountain Way" as the Lions went through the winner's bracket for the first time to win their fourth championship since the original divisional split in 2006.
Comeback kids: Struggles at the season's start ultimately gave way to satisfaction for a few East Valley schools (Perry, Queen Creek, Mesa, Horizon, Horizon Honors), and No. 1 on the list might have been Valley Christian. Once a Class 2A power a couple years but which didn't have enough players at tryouts (eight) to field a team. New coach (and Coach of the Year finalist) Jenni LaBlanc and a few experienced kids, led by Samantha Frank and sisters Janelle and Larae Hunt, recruited girls at the school, some of whom had never played softball before. With one-third of the roster brand new to the game, the Trojans went 14-11 and reached the Div. IV quarterfinals.
Ch-ch-ch-changes: Similar to the other sports, the first year of computer scheduling and new state tournament formats was a mixed bag. Most coaches loathed the computer-based geographical schedule which often didn't take intra-division or intra-section matchups into consideration, and schools rarely played more than five or six schools within its respective section. Schools are hoping a change to playing each team once in its section (instead of twice) will help even out competitive schedule and allow for a true section champion. Conversely, the expansion of 24 teams with first-round byes in the Division I and II state tournaments, plus the move to having two rounds of single elimination games followed by double elimination for the final eight teams were both viewed as positives.

|Romney favoured in Illinois GOP primary
|| Print |
|Written by Daniel Green
|Tuesday, 20 March 2012 11:20
Former Massachusetts governor, Mitt Romney, is expected to move closer to securing the Republican candidacy for U.S. president by winning Tuesday's Illinois primary, polls and experts suggest.
The latest poll numbers by Public Policy have Romney ahead of former Pennsylvania senator, Rick Santorum, in Illinois by a ratio of 45 to 30 per cent, The Daily Beast reported Monday. Romney's lead is attributed to the high concentration of affluent voters in the suburban communities surrounding Chicago.
As late as Saturday, the New York Times suggested the possibility of no clear winner emerging, which would result in an "open convention," where potentially any prominent Republican could be nominated in August at the national party gathering in Tampa.
However, U.S. politics expert from the University of Toronto, Ronald Prussen, told thedailyplanet.com that's unlikely to happen.
"I'm not sure it'll come to that in any literal sense," he said. "Although I don't have a crystal ball, I strongly suspect [Santorum] will lose Illinois, making his chances less likely in other states."
Prussen also said that the unlikelihood of an open convention isn't due to the popularity of any candidate, but instead the unpopularity of certain candidates.
"It doesn't mean that there's much enthusiasm for Romney, it's just that Santorum has had some problematic positions as far as mainstream voters are concerned," he said, adding that as the primaries move to states like New York and California, Santorum "will lose ground."
The state of Illinois is worth a total of 69 delegates at the GOP national convention, 54 of which are to be allocated after Tuesday's result.
The Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday that Santorum's chances are even more doubtful since he failed to find delegates who would support him in four out of the state's 18 districts, meaning the maximum number he can win Tuesday is 44.
Currently, Romney has the support of 521 delegates, followed by Santorum with 253, former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Newt Gingrich, with 136, and Texas congressman, Ron Paul, with 50 according to a Wall Street Journal tally.
