Port O'Brien return with the follow up to their rapturous album All We Could Do Was Sing with the more introspective, beautiful, sophmore release, Threadbare. The first taste of this gorgeous record is 'My Will Is Good', a feel-good track that describes the feelings of liberation following the band's decision to make changes to their lives following a major tragedy. Listen to the track at Stereogum now.
The band released All We Could Do Was Sing in 2008 to a rapturous response from Australian audience off the back of the joyous singalong single, 'I Woke Up Today' which featured on that doggie commercial for Dulux. It was one of the most played tracks at Triple J and saw the live audience at Laneway Festival invade the stage for a stomping good time.
What started as a generally light-hearted and loose follow up to All We Could Do Was Sing ended up being a more introspective and dense work that Port O'Brien used to cope with an overwhelming feeling of loss. With the passing of a dear loved one at the start of the year, heartache lingered throughout the recording of "Threadbare". They recorded half of the album in San Francisco, in friend Jason Quever's living room studio, which added the warmth the band wanted to create in the more introspective songs.
Threadbare features two relatively distinct sets of songs. One portion of the record deals with tragedy, remorse, and bitterness head on, while the other half focuses on a new sense of identity, purpose, revelry and ambition. After Port O'Brien had spent weeks recording in San Francisco, they felt that they had purged themselves of a lot of the things that were holding them back, and could record some songs in a more open space. The band then worked with Aaron Espinoza in Los Angeles to record the more celebratory and rhythmic songs that helped round out the other set of tunes. "My Will is Good" is one of these celebratory tracks.
"Threadbare" is released on September 25th, 2009 through Dew Process. 'My Will Is Good' is released digitally on September 4th.
Having just released the first teaser 'Crazy' taken from the band's forthcoming debut LP due out mid-2015, Brisbane's Art of Sleeping announce an east coast tour of the same name. Shortly after their scheduled performances on some of the countries biggest stages over the New Year at Falls Festival, the band are set to take the stage in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane this Summer.
Bernard Fanning offers up 'GROW AROUND YOU' lifted from his latest #1 album Departures. Berneard and his band will be stopping by the Fotty Show AFL Grand Final show on Thursday 26th September for a special televised headline-performance.

Lefton includes pottery, porcelain, glass, and other items imported by the Geo. Zoltan Lefton Company from 1941 to present day. The company underwent restructuring in 2002 and is currently called the Lefton Company. The companys mark has changed throughout the years but because most of the marks have been used for very long periods of time they are of little help in dating an object.

Pair Vintage Lefton Lovebirds / Doves Here is a nice pair of lovebirds or doves imported by Lefton. They are white with gold trim and in excellent condition with only very minor wear of the gold paint. The number on the bottom looks like 1273 or 1278, the last number is hard to see. One of them does have the red Lefton label intact, the other just remnants of it. The larger bird is about 6½ tall and 6 long while the smaller one about 5 by 6.

Miscellaneous: Advice for New Web Infrastructure for Small Biz
started by Fp on Apr 2, 2004 — RSS Feed
Posts: 1
We are a small company in a non-IT industry with little in-house IT experience. We intends to set up an intranet and subsequently an internet web site.
My question is what would be a good set of software I should have on a new Apple Xserve Panther platform?
Would it be a WebObjects or a Macromedia or other platform. My constraints are cost and ability to find freelance resource for the application development.

MADISON, Wis.–Spectrum Brands has scheduled a shareholders meeting on its proposed merger with Russell Hobbs for June 11.
At the meeting, the shareholders are scheduled to vote on the adoption of the merger agreement and the plan of merger, which was announced on Feb. 9.
According to a statement from Spectrum, two conditions for the closing of the merger are the approval by holders of a majority of Spectrum's common stock and, separately, by a majority of holders of Spectrum's common stock not owned by Harbinger Capital Partners. Spectrum's two largest shareholders—Harbinger, current owner of Russell Hobbs and holder of slightly more than 40 percent of Spectrum's outstanding shares; and Avenue Capital, which holds about 22 percent of Spectrum's outstanding shares—have already agreed to vote their shares in favor of the transaction, the statement said.
The proposed merger would create a global consumer-products company with an estimated $3 billion in annual revenues. The deal is now expected to close in June, the statement said.

"More so than any other corpus in Scripture, the Psalter contains discourse that is as visceral as it is sublime. In the psalms, pathos is wedded to image" (ix). Thus the author contends for the significance of this volume on metaphor in the Psalms. His introduction deals with "A Poetics of the Psalmic Imagination" (1-14), presenting a case for the power of evocative language in the Psalter. Brown asserts that metaphors act as "'grids' or 'filters' through which reality is viewed and reconfigured" (6), so that the reader might apprehend that reality differently. Metaphor "exploits an irresolvable incongruity between the target and source domains to generate a 'semantic shock'" (7). Therefore, metaphors in Hebrew poetry require that the reader think more and more about the text (9). Indeed, the Psalter's poetry is not just visceral, it is intensely reflective and cognitive.
By their very nature, metaphors provoke hermeneutical discussion. If metaphor is "the hinge between multiple lines of associations and manifold worlds of meaning" (8), how can it be "delimiting" hermeneutically (10)? Brown throws down the gauntlet for reader-oriented methodologies by insisting that the reader's imagination must be subject to the full appreciation and understanding of the ancient imagination (12). In his view, the reader is not sovereign, nor is the text a mere corpse (223 n. 110). He concludes, "Perhaps the time has come to declare the resurrection of the text and the receptivity of the reader" (ibid.). In the remainder of the volume, Brown's modus operandi identifies the source and target domains for each metaphor, seeks to discover its meaning in its ancient Near Eastern background, and examines its associations within the Psalter itself (14).
Eight chapters take up the examination of the following topics:
Metaphors may also have counter metaphors. For example, the pit and Sheol are counter metaphors of the refuge metaphor (26). As the author observes, the language of lament sets the psalmist "between pit and refuge, between God's absence and presence, death and deliverance" (27). A metaphor's meaning informs the meaning of its counter metaphor and vice versa.
Brown proposes that neither refuge nor pathway comprises a root metaphor encompassing the entire Psalter. Both are complementary, each to the other. T heir association is robust, but they are not interchangeable and neither can subsume the other (39). Refuge features being present before God, while pathway designates the struggle toward God via law and wisdom (42, 45). The two metaphors are "the warp and the woof of the Psalter's variegated tapestry" (53).
From time to time, the author's analyses appear strained. For example, his treatment of Psalm 19, comparing its concepts with the iconography of synagogue mosaics (100-103) might strike the reader as esoteric. However, although the discerning evangelical reader might weed out some of the association, the point of the diversion is still pertinent: neither natural nor special revelation can be detached totally from the other. The interrelationship is a major aspect of what the psalmist presents in Psalm 19.
Polyvalency of metaphors comes to the fore in Brown's essay on water (105-34). Many waters frequently represent overwhelming danger and chaos (106-22), but water also pictures refreshment and renewal (122-34). Images of sweeping floodwaters and the overwhelming power of thunderous cataracts and waves are foundational to two different experiences and perspectives. Metaphors are flexible and are capable of conveying widely differing meanings. Readers must pay close attention to context in order to interpret such images properly. "Destructive and cleansing, formless yet sustaining, water can convey diametrically opposing nuances even within one verse or line of poetry" (105).
In his conclusion, Brown takes up Psalm 139 to examine its metaphors (207- 15). Extensive endnotes (217-62), an extremely helpful index of Scripture and ancient sources (263-70), and an author/subject index (271-74, detailed in the former case, and very limited in the latter) close out the volume.
William P. Brown is professor of OT at Union Theological Seminary/PSCE in Virginia. Among the books he has authored are Character in Crisis: A Fresh Approach to the Wisdom Literature of the Old Testament (Eerdmans, 1996), Ecclesiastes (Interpretation; John Knox, 2000; see earlier in this issue of TMSJ), and The Ten Commandments: The Reciprocity of Faithfulness (Westminster John Knox, 2004). He is also editor and contributor to Character & Scripture: Moral Formation, Community, and Biblical Interpretation (Eerdmans, 2002).

Crowd-sourcing the next start-up
Astrid Stawiarz/Getty Images
Director of the film program at Kickstarter, Elisabeth Holm speaks at the Tribeca Talks: Future Of Film Lunch Series 3 during the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City.
It used to be that if you were an entrepreneur looking to fund a new project, you had a few choices. There was the bank, private investors or your family to provide money to launch a project. But now, people are turning to crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter as an alternative. Entrepreneurs can pitch their products, some that aren't even made yet, in exchange for financial backing.
Recent successes in raising money on the Internet are making "crowdfunding" look like a real alternative to the old ways of bringing in startup money. But it's not clear what happens to the money if, and when, entrepreneurs fail to deliver.

For 60 years, the "iF Product Design Award" has been synonymous with exceptional design at international level and it is a great honor for us to be recognized as the world's best product designers thanks to our creations."
Entered in the Medicine / Health + Care category, Adlens Adjustables were assessed by the jury on the basis of criteria such as design quality, finish, choice of materials, degree of innovation, environmental impact, functionality, ergonomics, safety, the market value of the brand and general design aspects.
Together with the other winners of the various categories in the "iF Design Awards 2014", Adlens Adjustables will be presented at the first iF Design Exhibition in the center of HafenCity, Hamburg's hub for contacts between the media and design industries. Adlens Adjustables will also be at the new iF Design Exhibition in Shenzhen, China, from the end of May 2014.

Activists Target Chicago's Support for Torture with Satirical PSA "Chicago and Petach Tikva: Never Better Sisters!"
On February 22nd, activists with the Palestine Solidarity Group – Chicago released a fake public service announcement exposing Chicago's continuing support for torture through its sister city relationship with Petach Tikva, Israel. The video was produced after a police board ruled that former police Chief Burge will still receive his monthly $3000 pension, despite currently serving a four and a half year sentence for lying about the torture of over one hundred Chicagoans. The video draws a connection between the Chicago Police Department's support for Burge and the recent imprisonment of Palestinian activist Ameer Makhoul. On January 30th, Makhoul was sentenced to nine years based on a confession obtained while Makhoul was imprisoned in Chicago's sister city Petach Tikva. Makhoul has insisted that his confession was false and the result of the torture he endured in Petach Tikva. This video is a part of the Palestine Solidarity Group's ongoing Drop Petach Tikva campaign which aims to pressure the Chicago Sister Cities program to end it's relationship with Petach Tikva.
"It's clear why Chicago and Petach Tikva are sister cities. Both feature great views, beautiful weather, and unbelievable human rights records," says an announcer on the video. "Here in the Windy City, former police Chief Jon Burge was convicted for lying about using torture to elicit false confessions from over 100 Chicagoans. But don't worry, Chicago, even from his jail cell, Burge will still receive his pension! Meanwhile, Petach Tikva is the proud home of one of Israel's largest prisons. In this jail, prisoners are routinely tortured, like Palestinian activist Ameer Makhoul."
The Drop Petach Tikva campaign is a project of the Palestine Solidarity Group Chicago (PSG) and the Chicago International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network (IJAN). On July 20, 2010, the Board of the Sister Cities Program wrote the campaign saying, "Ending a partnership with a city in the Chicago Sister Cities International family because of its history is contrary to the spirit both of Sister Cities International and our own program." In letters sent to all of the Board members on January 4, 2011, PSG and IJAN responded saying, "… our request is not driven by historical maltreatment or wrongs; rather, our call to end ties is premised upon ongoing human rights violations in Petach Tikva, Israel." To date, the Chicago Sister Cities Program Board has refused to even meet with PSG and IJAN to discuss the evidence that a relationship with Petach Tikva violates the principles of the Sister Cities International Program.

Went from 5 feet and 28 inches to 7 feet and 36 inches!
while blocking (note the wires!)
trying to get all of it in a single photo!
spine and points
Overall, I'm wicked pleased. Things to think about… one of the YOs is wonky. One of these days I'll figure out which one in some experimental swatches. I wasn't able to block out the points as nicely as some others I've seen.
But I love the yarn and its color! I blathered all about it on my Ravelry project page.
Spent too much time today going through summer things (do they fit? are they clean?)… getting ready to go to mom's in Florida (on Wednesday!!!!!).

Reproduction Alley Oop lunch box
Hi Jessica, this Alley Oop lunchbox is not very old. I don't know if its a reproduction of an old lunchbox, but if it is, I'm sure the original lunchbox would be worth something. I don't remember what I paid for this one, but it wasn't more than $5.

Using abundant, amazingly fresh, newly discovered film footage shot half a century ago by Hope Ryden and Abbot Mills, who were intent on recording the Lovings, plus photographs and interviews, Buirski creates a compelling, deeply human and context-savvy portrait of this seemingly most ordinary, yet extraordinary, of couples. Intimate footage of the Lovings reveals them to be a boon to the camera as well, strikingly attractive: she a willowy beauty, and he a handsome, All-American crew-cut jock, like Mickey Mantle or one of the early astronauts. The affection they freely share before the camera is even more impressive, as are their two lovely children playing about them. It was love at first sight for him, he says, and he backed this up with a steely determination to pursue his right to, in his words, love, marry and be with the woman he loved.
The self-effacing modesty of these two undeniable national heroes at the time is all the more striking in this day of blinding promotion and egomania for the paltriest of pursuits, media self-elevation. Their words are few and simple, if always well and carefully chosen, and it's significant that neither of them even went to the Supreme Court on the day their case was presented. "I was already too nervous," she admits, while he simply says he had absolutely no intention of going. Luckily, their lawyers, Bernard Cohen and Phillip Hirschkop, both of them still vibrantly alive today, were eloquent enough to win the day before Justice William O. Douglas, an event which was followed by the overturning of the laws against mixed marriages in 16 states, with the exception of Alabama, which did not do so until 2000.
Sadly, in one of those happenstances which makes you question the existence of God, Richard was killed eight years later, mowed down by a drunk driver, while Mildred managed to live on without him until 2008. But their bond remains imperishable, preserved on film as it has been here, and the greatest testament to the unshakable power of love.

UW police officer Tanesha Van Leuven speaks to MEChA member Mayra Rangel about the Washington Administrative Code, which prohibits the use of megaphones on college campuses, during the May Day rally held in Red Square.
Student groups — including Democracy Insurgent, Jobs with Justice, First Nations and Movimiento Estudiantil Chicana/o de Aztlán (MEChA) — rallied at Red Square before joining the citywide May Day march for immigration rights on Friday.
May Day is an annual celebration for immigrant rights when participants express concern for better treatment of immigrant populations. However, this year, a disagreement broke out when UW police told protesters to put away their megaphones.
"They [police] came to the leaders [of the protest] and said if we continued to use the megaphone, we would be arrested," senior Renato Mendoza said.
Police cited Code 132N-15-180 to the students, who then looked up the Washington Adminstrative Code.
"After we looked it up, we found that [the code number] was the incorrect one," Mendoza said.
Students argued with UW police about whether or not they could use the megaphones after they researched the law police had given them and discovered that it didn't exist. The actual Washington Administrative Code — 132N-150-180 — differed by one number from the law police had cited.
The code pertaining to megaphone use on college campuses reads, "Bull horns, amplifiers and other electronic devices that disrupt college programs or operations are prohibited on college property."
Police reasoned with the protestors for more than half an hour before they put away the megaphones, UW Police Department (UWPD) Chief John Vinson said.
However, megaphones were used in an anti-budget cut and tuition-hike rally that took place last month and was sponsored by ASUW — the students involved in that rally, which marched through campus, were not told by police to put away their megaphones. Megaphones have also been used throughout this year by student groups such as Democracy Insurgent, Huskies for Israel and Students for Justice in Palestine, as well as for President Obama's inauguration-day rally. In none of these instances were students told they were not allowed to use their megaphones.
Vinson said the officer who approached the students informed the group that she didn't know how other officers previously enforced the code, but that it was her job to enforce it at that time.
"If an officer gives you a lawful order, we expect you to follow it," Vinson said. Disobeying a college security officer giving a lawful order is considered an obstruction of justice.
After the rally in Red Square, student groups — including Democracy Insurgent, Jobs with Justice, First Nations and MEChA — joined approximately 1,000 protestors in the citywide march that began in Seattle's Central District and ended in Pioneer Square.
Demonstrators downtown said they had no problems demonstrating for immigrants' rights.
"We haven't been bothered by police [in Seattle] at all," said UW senior Elizabeth Snow during the rally. "They're just staying on the sidewalks, making sure that everything's okay."

Hello, I read a couple of similar query but non helped. Suddenly my washing machine gave a blue greenish hue to my whites. I haven't done anything or changed anything. I did a checkup on my washing machine and no problems found. I rewashed them with another detergent but nothing changed. I did the "tub clean program" on the washing machine, and cleaned the detergent drawers. Problem is still present. I don't use fabric softeners, and my water is clean. I took my load and washed it in my neighbors washing machine and all the green hue has gone. I washed it again in my washing machine and it came back again! |

The first thought that comes to me when you say blue-green hue is oxidized copper. Do you have copper pipes? Just a thought. Kathy in Jax |
Could you have a colored marker in between the washing tub and the tank that incases the washing tub. That is the first thing that came to my mind. One of those kids water soluble markers, the the "bluish green" color. I know, its a stretch. |

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - The Oakland Museum of California is offering a $12,000 reward for the safe recovery of a rare Gold Rush-era quartz and gold box that was stolen.
Museum officials said on Wednesday that the box was a wedding anniversary gift from a San Francisco man to his wife in the 1800s. It was taken during a break-in on Monday.
It had been in the museum's collection since 1960.
Oakland Mayor Jean Quan's chief of staff, Anne Campbell Washington, told the San Francisco Chronicle the box was valued at more than $800,000.
Monday's break-in was the second at the museum in as many months. Pieces of gold and other valuable historic artifacts were taken in November.
Another Northern California museum and a county courthouse have also been hit by gold thieves over the past year.

Best Practices in Panel Management: Incentives
by Adam Sowers, Specialty Panel Manager, uSamp
The other week, I found myself agreeing to take a survey – after all I am in the business, and thought for good karma, I'd pay it back. The invitation stated that I could earn some pocket change for ten minutes of my time. Twenty minutes later, I was escorted to an over-quota page. With my head in my non-clicking hand, I closed my browser. I felt duped and wanted those lost minutes of my life back. Unfortunately, there are no reward options for regaining lost time – I've checked.
Unpleasant experiences like this contribute to panel burn. Jaded respondents don't want to interact with your brand if they are left feeling unsatisfied, unhappy, or worse – betrayed. Establishing accurate expectations is the first, and most obvious, step to help reduce panel burn. I would like to share with you a few additional fundamental practices that should be instituted to maximize panelist retention.
Best Practices for Panel Management: Dynamic Profiling
by Josh Brezner, Panel Development Manager, uSamp
This is the third post of our Best Practices in Panel Management series.
Many of us claim to truly "know" our panelists. And why shouldn't we? Through member profiling, we have the ability to capture everything from basic demographics to leisure, health and business information on respondents. We know what brands they buy, what food they eat, and where they bank. But profile data is often treated as a timeless portrait of a panelist, and not as a subjective snapshot of a person with changing consumer habits. If left unchecked, this approach can have devastating implications.
Best Practices for Panel Management: Registration and Security
by Lisa Wilding-Brown, VP Panel Operations, uSamp
So You've Recruited Your Audience. Now What?
Here's how to make your registration count.
You've identified key traffic sources: the sites where potential panelists are hanging out, enjoying themselves, consuming goods on their own time, and sharing opinions with their friends. But just because you've got their attention does not mean they'll listen. The first portal of entry is perhaps the most important for both the registrant, and the company hosting the panel.
First impressions matter
From a panel management perspective, each and every engagement of a panelist should be carefully orchestrated. Whether engaged via email invitation or within the online panel environment, constant care should be exercised.
Panel builders should be mindful of the frequency of contact as additional reminders or an over-abundance of email invitations can get on the nerve of even the most dedicated panelist. Respondents should not be invited on an exceptionally frequent basis as this can cause premature attrition, and provoke bad survey behavior.

Sample Aggregation in Market Research: Critical Questions to Ask Online Suppliers
by Matt Dusig, Co-Founder & CEO, uSamp
If you've worked in the industry long enough, you've experienced a five-alarm fire drill. You've carefully plotted out what you believe will be the perfectly executed project. Everything is running as scheduled when suddenly, incidence drops without warning, response rates tank, and the client unexpectedly adds that last minute "little" change that screens out potential respondents. Your best-laid plans are no longer suitable and more resources are needed—fast. What do you do to keep your project alive and your client satisfied? Did you say…aggregation?

From The CFO's Chair: Strategies For Coming Out Top In 2012
by John Woolard, Chief Financial Officer
What if we told you that one of our leaders was a big wave rider with a photographic memory who once was lost in the Saudi Arabian desert, and now can be found in a corner office in Encino? uSamp challenges you to find another CFO with that street-cred. John Woolard is a CPA with more than 20 years of diverse financial leadership experience in entertainment, retail, manufacturing and distribution, including positions as CFO, VP of Finance, and Controllership. Before taking this role as CFO, he led finance teams in the U.K., Netherlands and the Middle East. Woolard has a proven ability to manage and optimize financial results within rapidly changing environments. He possesses an extensive background in strategic planning, financial reporting, treasury operations and internal controls and has solid relationships in the investor and lending communities. Woolard earned a degree in accounting and finance from Cal State Northridge. Not listed on his resume, but worthy of mention: his ability to read minds and penchant for English pubs especially–when Chelsea is playing.
As we reach the end of a year of rapid growth, it is hard to imagine that three years ago, we were a small but ambitious start-up where office space was a non-issue, and elbow grease went a long way. uSamp has been successful in expanding its reach in terms of employees, projects, markets, and clients. But as with any success comes responsibility.
Over the next 12 months, we will continue to face key challenges like growing the business in proportion to the revenue, and managing this growth while maintaining quality. These challenges are not new nor are they unique to uSamp, but are an inevitable part of maturing in the venture ecosystem. At this stage in our own venture, we continue to think big but stay focused. These key points create the ambition and stability we need to keep our competition guessing in 2012.
Thinking Big:
Over the past year, uSamp expanded its reach across North America, Europe, and India, and hired 100 new employees for entry-level roles, software engineers, and senior level strategy heads. This fast growth was necessary to accommodate for our growing traditional sample business, and essential in building the optimal infrastructure for the suite of new products launched over the year. It all comes down to timing–investing in the right projects and resources, and hiring the right people at the right time.
uSamp announced the official launch of our European business and local presence in London. With the help of our Gaelle Normand, our Managing Director in Europe, our growth in Europe greatly surpassed our expectations. The excitement, energy and anticipation on Grays Inn Road is reminiscent of our early days in Encino.
Additionally, we have invested time and resources into our India presence. This past fall key executives including myself from our North American office had the opportunity to spend time in the Indian office, and to witness the intelligent and dynamic team in action.
We have done a solid job of managing many different moving parts, in large part due to our strong leadership team who operates independently. We do a good job of bringing new ideas to light, and constructing a plan to make those ideas a tangible reality.
But all of this growth doesn't come easy. It requires the dedicated management of a global enterprise, and staying true to our original intentions. Which brings me to my second point….
Staying Focused:
As uSamp continues to grow in terms of revenue, market grasp, panel numbers, and product offerings, it's important to remember our original mission and value proposition. At the heart of uSamp is our panel—one of our strongest assets. We will continue engaging current panelists, while sourcing new niche panelists. Our focus will be on cultivating business, medical and Hispanic audiences, and expanding our reach to the Asian Pacific in order to meet the demands of the marketplace and better serve our clients' needs.
In 2011, we've are lucky to have been rewarded by tremendous growth in North America and around the world. But at the end of the day, it's clients that matter most—the key contributors to our success. We have a dedicated operations team that is on call 24/7, so that we can efficiently meet all of our global clients' needs day and night. In all of the noise, the excitement, the chaos, it is easy to lose sight of our intentions. But we will continue to prioritize listening to our clients, to our leadership, to our employees. And we will continue to imagine ourselves in start-up survival mode. This past year, uSamp was recognized by The Los Angeles Business Journal as one of the best places to work in Los Angeles. We will strive to live up to the praise, and bring a dynamic work culture to every office across the globe.
Best of Blogs: uSamp's Farewell to 2011
Fall 2011 marked uSamp's foray into the market research blogosphere. The Greenbook Blog, Next Gen Market Research, Innovation Evolved, Research Access, Love Stats, Forrester, MRGA's Social Advisory…you've certainly inspired and set the industry standards high! We wanted engage in the dialogue that is central to our field of work. We wanted to join in on the debates around DIY, gamification, privacy, sample quality, and consumer insight. It has been our objective to add value to a space already a-buzz with information.
uSamp is comprised of thought-leaders both wizened MR folks, and young innovative minds. We will continue tapping the intel we have inside in hopes that we can provide a feisty debate, a helpful take-away, a peek into how we work, even just a chuckle or two. We pride ourselves on transparency, and will continue to develop our blog to foster an open, intelligent and colorful community. We hope that you have enjoyed uSamp's perspective thus far, as we will continue ramping it up in the new year.
To close out 2011, we decide to bring back some of the greatest hits from our freshman album. Without further ado, we invite you to revisit the following posts:
- The envelope pusher, cheekily titled: Does Size Matter?
- The European perspective, courtesy of London's own Ben Leet: 2012 EU Forecast
- The standard seeker: Online Sample Quality
- The panel-whisperer: Sensitivity to Sample
As always, we encourage your feedback and live for your ideas. Thanks for a terrific 2011, and here's to lots of discussion and insight in the new year!
Best Practices for Managing Remote Offices
by Yanawan Saguansataya Hurlbut, VP, Client Services and Programming
As VP of Client Services and Programming, Yan is uSamp's global management maverick, as she is responsible for 40 people across two countries and over four locations. She honed in on her adept management skills at Greenfield Online where she was tasked with developing and managing the Sample Only client service strategy with a 33 person organization across three countries. She served 10 years at Greenfield, growing from project manager to VP of the North American Sample Only product line. She continues to leverage this operational experience in her current role at uSamp where her latest endeavor is the creation of a programming and hosting team to support clients looking for a one-stop shop.
The fact that businesses operate as internationally connected networks is old news. It is impossible to function as silos in a global market. As we continue to expand and try to recruit top talent to our companies, it has become imperative to consider how we can effectively communicate across culture, and understand the job market it as it applies to our recruits. With my largest project management team overseas in Delhi, India, I have had to quickly learn how adapt my management skills to address the diverse markets that we've entered into.
The lessons that I have learned are particular to the local work culture, but I think that there are many practices that can apply to managers in any circumstance or country. I will elaborate on the keys to recruiting and training employees in an environment outside your realm of expertise.
Understand the employment landscape:
We all know that research is invaluable, which is why we are in this world. Before entering a new market, it is critical to understand what makes people tick–in a professional sense. What are the qualification standards? Do workers move around or stay at their post? What drives employee satisfaction?
There is a lot of movement in the competitive Indian job market, and it is quite normal to come across a Project Manager candidate who has a three-page resume with multiple advanced certifications, and two-three year stints with an employer. Advancement, and the opportunities that enable advancement over the course of a career, is paramount versus staying static at the same company for longevity's sake. This has made the hiring process exciting, but also daunting because of all the well-qualified candidates. Which leads to the next point,
Set clear qualifications requirements:
I know that our PMs are going to be client-facing, so we stress excellent verbal and written communication skills–a must for any multi-national company. We filter candidates by a formal interview with on-site managers, a basic skills test, and a telephone interview with an off-site manager. Once we find a suitable candidate, we prepare ourselves for a considerable wait-period, as often times employees must give 30 to 60 days of notice before they can leave a post. Preparation is the key to finding and securing the right candidate
Customizing the training program to the culture:
As in any on-boarding process, it is important to find out how to best connect with your new hire. What is his or her central motivating factor? Do they learn by watching or doing? Do they like to lead by example?
Training has been a critical and evolving process for our uSamp India team. Not just because we think it's necessary to get everyone on the same page, but because our applicants expect it of us. Applicants judge a company's clout by their training process, and place as much emphasis on learning as achieving. Our team places strong emphasis on formal training versus the "baptism-by-fire" approach that is a popular practice in America. Hires seek to build their resume, and look to a company that will help them enhance a particular skill set, and elevate them to be experts in their field.
As you wonder how to incorporate this into your own program, remember that training takes many forms. The most obvious is new hire orientation of systems and processes. Exposure to new study designs and technologies or even a new client set is invaluable experience that should not be discounted. More obvious training opportunities include industry-level training (CASRO, MRA, etc.) or process-level training (PMP, Six Sigma, etc.).
Fostering office culture:
Today's workplace is a diverse place and retaining key contributors can be a daunting task. It is easy to undermine "culture" as just another industry buzzword, but it is at the heart of any company. Creating a cohesive culture is as important as any hiring or training process. At uSamp, every location has a game room with an Internet–enabled gaming system connecting all our offices. We regularly host lunches/dinners at our offices and quarterly team outings. Remember that fun, flexibility and an open attitude is key. Good luck!
