The City Council on Tuesday passed a bill requiring the New York City Police Department to report information concerning vehicle collisions in which a driver left the scene.
The bill would require the NYPD to submit to the City Council and post online a quarterly report on hit-and-run data, specifically the number of such incidents involving critical injury, as determined by medical personnel at the scene; and the number of cases closed, whether an arrest was made or not. The data would be separated out by police precinct and by cross street.
The NYPD also would have to provide to the Council a brief description of what steps were taken to investigate all hit and runs involving critical injury.
The bill, co-authored by Councilman Peter Koo (D-Flushing) and former Councilman Leroy Comrie, now the deputy borough president for Queens, was one that had been vetoed by ex-Mayor Mike Bloomberg last year.
Koo noted that after years of decreasing traffic fatalities, the city has seen an increase in the past two years.

Five College Ebola Information Sheet
Although the risk of contracting Ebola in the United States is extremely low, health care staff from the Five Colleges and local boards of health are taking precautionary measures to ensure the safety and well-being of the Five College community. Members of that team have protocols in place for dealing with many different types of public health issues, but out of an abundance of caution they have also developed a specific plan to respond in the unlikely event that the diagnosis of a case of Ebola directly affecting the campus community emerges. In addition, the group is closely monitoring the outbreak in Africa and will communicate with local officials, hospitals and emergency response agencies regularly to assess the situation. What follows are some frequently asked questions and answers about Ebola.
What is Ebola?
Ebola is a severe, often fatal disease, discovered in 1976 near the Ebola River in the Democratic Republic of Congo. There have been a number of outbreaks since its identification. The current outbreak has been ongoing in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone for several months.
How is Ebola transmitted?
It is transmitted to people from wild animals, and spreads from human to human through direct contact, as when broken skin or mucous membranes come into contact with blood, bodily secretions, or needles contaminated with infected bodily fluids. Ebola is NOT airborne, foodborne or waterborne. A person is infectious to others only when they have symptoms of illness.
What are the symptoms of Ebola?
Symptoms begin abruptly with fever, malaise and headache, with diarrhea about 5 days later. Symptoms usually occur 8-10 days after direct contact with body substances of an infected person. The incubation period may be up to 21 days.
What is the risk of contracting Ebola in the Five College community?
There are a limited number of students in the Five College community who live or have traveled to the countries affected by the current Ebola outbreak. Students who were in study abroad programs in these countries over the summer are now in the U.S. and do not meet the criteria for potential suspected cases.
Should travel to that part of West Africa be cancelled?
Faculty, staff and students of the Five Colleges, in keeping with the level 3 warning from the CDC, should avoid travel to Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia. There are no Five College study abroad programs within these countries for the fall semester. Those planning travel to Nigeria should be aware of the level 2 warning from the CDC and monitor the situation closely.
What is being done to monitor the students who have been in the affected countries?
In the unlikely event that this situation arises, we will follow the recommendations of the Massachusetts Department of public health (MDPH) for students who know they were exposed to a person with Ebola within the previous 21 days. It is important to stress that even if students who have come from Guinea, Liberia or Sierra Leone report what appear to be relevant symptoms (fever, headache, diarrhea), these individuals are not considered a suspected case unless they have known exposure to Ebola.
What do I do if I start to feel sick?
As at any time, if you are experiencing symptoms of any infectious illness, please delay your return to campus until you have recovered and are no longer contagious. If while on campus you experience signs of illness, especially fever, vomiting or diarrhea, severe pain or weakness, or unusual bleeding or bruising, please consult promptly with your campus's health center staff.

Leaky economic boat afloat
Submitted by Free Silver on Thu, 02/21/2013 - 21:54. Permalink
Great! The Chinese can put their "money" where our burgeoning debt is and start buying all the U.S. Treasury bonds that the Federal Reserve has been gobbling up cause no one else wanted to buy them. That way Americans can continue to buy the cheap junk that China exports by the cargo-ship load and keep the leaky economic boat afloat for a few more years.

I'm with you man, I feel like both these guys look like tools after watching that video. I can't stand when bands try to start shit with fans or other people in crowds and I can't stand people who go out of their way to piss people off.
Many fans put these bands on a pedestal of sorts and expect them to not partake in this kind of immature behavior. Personally, I don't have a problem with stage diving as long as everyone else is cool with it, I think these guys should approach it with a little more tact instead of using his "patriotism" or being a "bro" as a way to attack the dude in this situation.
that was a joke right?
I'm sorry but Bill Murray was awesome before he was in any Wes Anderson Movie, and if you wanted to be more correct with your "trashing of the hipster royalty" or whatever you should have mentioned Rushmore because that was the first Wes Anderson Film he was in.
Oh nice, I didn't notice I did that, thanks
i'm loving this
this is brilliant and the cat gif is amazing as well.
I"m pretty sure the word you are looking for is racist not "white christian supremacy" and even then you would still be wrong. It's just like Mickey Portlock said, it's weird to call Mos Def by a different name because we've known him as Mos Def for so long.
Lana Del Rey is bad, her lyrics aren't good her music in general is just really bad and, judging by last nights performance, she isn't very good live either.
Oh man this is awesome. Earth Wind and Fire was the first band that I ever seriously got into and the teen daze version is just great
so glad that Annie Clark and Sufjan are number one

Rescue burdened shrubs from winter damage
Sunday, January 12, 2014
For most of us, gardening in January is limited. Water the houseplants. Read the seed catalogs. Dream of flowering shrubs to add to the perennial border — that sort of thing. But there are activities we can do now and should.
I keep my Christmas tree up and in the house until it becomes almost dangerously dry, ready to explode at the first sign of a spark. I consider it a "winter tree" in the New Year and revel in its lights and all the memories the ornaments conjure up. (I have a felt and tinsel Santa from my Mom's tree that probably came from Germany with her parents around 1900). But if you take down yours before the Ground Hog Day, you can use the branches in the garden. Evergreen boughs are great to use to protect tender perennials and shrubs. Although we have had good snow cover so far this year, if we get a January thaw followed by very cold nights, frost and cold may penetrate the soil deeply and may kill the roots of tender plants. To prevent that, provide some insulation, particularly for new perennials and shrubs. Place branches over the plants, and then some mulch hay or straw over that. It's like tucking in your baby at night.
A brief explanation is in order about why some tender shrubs and vines fail to bloom some years. Woody plants make their buds either the summer before and bloom early in the spring or summer on "old wood". Or they make their buds in spring for summer or fall blooms on "new wood" that grows after winter is over. In the first category are forsythia, lilacs, blueberries and most wisteria. In the second are hydrangeas, summer clethra and Seven Sons Flower tree.
Even a cold winter sun will heat up a black poppy seed enough to allow it to melt its way through the snow. If I sprinkle a hundred seeds, at least a few will eventually lodge in suitable places and grow next summer. It's no work, great fun, and it makes spring seem like a word that is within the realm of the possible — even if the thermometer is below zero. |

When there is every thing same from their genes to their phenotype so then why they don't have same fingerprints?
Identical twins have, despite the name, neither identic fingerprints nor identic genetic fingerprints. Fingerprints: According to the papers listed below the fingerprints show higher similarities (the "structure" is the same), but they can be distinguished and are not the same.
Genetic Fingerprint: Although identic (or monozygotic) twins share the same DNA, they are not the same and can still be distinguished with a DNA fingerprint, if enough regions are analyzed. The difference comes from small mutations (so called "single nucleotide polymorphisms", one base mutations) which occur in each of us individually. The other difference comes from epigenetic modifications of our genome (basically adding methyl groups to our DNA) which are also not the same between identic twins (there is an interesting video on this on Youtube). However, when using standard forensic kits it is usually not possible to discriminate between identical twins. Differences are detected with whole genome sequencing. Have a look at these publications: |

Why must every modern architecture have blank concrete walls and glass?? Where is the colour? Where is the texture? Where is the character? I have been to Dali's own museum he designed in Figueres which has large eggs on the roof and loaves on bread on the outside of the building and he's own residence welcomes the absurd also and if i had to compare it to this "inspired by Dali" building I would say i was looking at an office building.

I would loved to haven seen this unique architecture closer to Orlando or Miami, as I think it would be more fitting. Who knows? Maybe it would've been more expensive or simply not enough room? Either way it's beautiful.

With news Tuesday that northbound and southbound traffic across the Bloomington Ferry Bridge would be switched back to their respective lanes in time for today's rush hour, many commuters expressed their disappointment and dismay when they found the head-to-head single lane traffic configuration still in place.
The Drive got a few e-mails from frustrated commuters who were hoping to see progress and maybe get some relief from the project that has had drivers at wits end for nearly a month.
Dave Kaiser, who drove over the bridge just before 6 a.m. Wednesday, said everything "looks the same as it did last night. Did see some work starting on signs. But also stuff scattered on the closed bridge. Frustrating project for those of us south of the river."
MnDOT also got its share of angry calls and e-mails, said spokeswoman Kirsten Klein. But she said, drivers should see lanes opening sometime today, possibly as early as this afternoon. Remember, the project was scheduled to last through Friday, so the lanes will be open early, just not as soon as we'd like.
The northbound lanes will be the first to open. Southbound lanes will follow, but that might take until Thursday, Klein said. Those lanes will open once clean up is complete and new lane markings are put down.
When the northbound lanes open, the following ramps will, too:
Hang in there folks. The end really is near.

You can't run a tech company these days without infringing on someone's patents, and if you feel that you're infringee material, the Eastern District of Texas is the place to set up shop. SimpleAir, a Texas-based "inventor-owned technology licensing company," took Google to court over push messaging systems used in Android. Last month a jury found that Google infringed on all five of the asserted claims, leaving the company liable to pay up to $125 million for damages.
The big news in the wireless business this week has been AT&T's upcoming purchase of Leap Wireless, which the FCC approved yesterday. The deal has been in the works since July of last year. That leaves AT&T in an interesting spot, since it now owns the CDMA-based Cricket Wireless, which directly competes with the budget-focused Aio sub-brand. Apparently AT&T prefers the more established brand, because the company said it will combine the assets of both under the "Cricket" name.
Hey look, everyone - Google sent us all a treat tonight in the form of the first Play Store update in over 3 months. And we just love new things (hi, Kirill!). As usual, you'll find the apk for v4.6.16 towards the bottom of this post.
And a few earlier ones:
- Google Play Store Update 4.9.13 Adds Material Design App And Content Pages [APK Download]
- [Update #2: 4.8.22] Latest Google Play Store 4.8.22 With PayPal Support, Simplified App Permissions, Bigger Buttons, And More [APK Download]
- Download: Latest Google Play Store 4.6.16 / 4.6.17 With Batch App Install, New 'Require Password' Option, Tweaked UI, Forced Self-Update, And More [Updated]
- Download: Latest Google Play Store 4.5.10 With Shared Play Store Activity, IAP Indicator, And More
What's New?
Attention, parents: if you've used your Google account to buy apps, books, videos, or music on Google Play, your credit card information is stored. If you give your phone or tablet to your kids, they might be able to buy stuff that you don't necessarily want. That's a lesson that Ilana Imber-Gluck learned after her 5-year-old son spent $65.95 on Marvel Run Jump Smash. Unsurprisingly, she chafed at the experience, suing Google in a northern California court on behalf of herself and "all others similarly situated."
The central issue seems to be a 30-minute window after downloading an app, during which the user - whoever that might be - can rack up in-app purchases without supplying a password.
Well, we got our first defamation threat based on one of our posts.
No, we won't be discussing who sent it.
We've retained Kenneth P. White to handle it. You may know him from Popehat.com, where he:
According to TmoNews, Americas magenta-est carrier (and don't you forget it!) will unveil some changes to the company's JUMP! device installment plans on February 23rd, and while they're heavy on "unlimited" language, the plans are actually getting a bit more restrictive for customers.
First, in the "good news" departments, tablets are joining the JUMP! family of devices, so you'll soon be able to finance a tablet from T-Mobile. Which if that's something you, you know, want, sounds good.
Nokia just issued a press release announcing that the company had settled all ongoing patent litigation with Taiwanese handset-maker HTC today, and it looks like the Finnish firm came out on top. Nokia says HTC will make payments to Nokia and that HTC will license its LTE patent portfolio to the company under a cross-licensing "technology collaboration agreement." Sounds pleasant.
No figures were released in relation to the settlement. This news probably shouldn't be too surprising - HTC has a reputation for settling.
It wasn't that long ago when Google announced that it had entered a cross-licensing deal with Samsung, and just two days ago, it entered one with Cisco as well. Not to be left out, Samsung announced today that it, too, had signed a deal with Cisco. As a part of this deal, both companies will have access to the other's patent portfolios for the next ten years.
Like the deals that came before, this agreement aims to reduce the risk of unnecessary patent lawsuits in the future.
Google made news recently when it announced a cross-licensing deal with Samsung, but it's already moving on to another. The search giant has entered into a second such deal with network management firm Cisco. This might be the start of a pattern.
Chalk one up for the bad guys. FOSS Patents reports that Chinese manufacturer Huawei and the Rockstar Consortium (a patent holding company jointly owned by Apple, Microsoft, Blackberry, Sony, and Ericsson) have filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit filed against Huawei in November. Both parties have filed to dismiss with prejudice, and have almost certainly agreed to some kind of licensing settlement, though financial details don't have to be reported.

RIAA Says LimeWire Owes $1.5 Trillion
Re:Deficit reduction! (510 comments)
If a company is "Too Big To Fail(TM)" they probably got to that point by exploiting existing regulation and/or politicians. I would rather see failing companies fail so the resources they have can be reallocated to more worthwhile uses. If you try to regulate away the natural consequences for stupid and risky behavior, you encourage more stupid and risky behavior, and it's necessary descendant, failure. "Failure" is not a bad word. Failure is life. Failure is necessary. Without some means of saying "this is bad", we will waste limited resources on endless streams of bad ideas.
And remember, your and my idea of "Good" and "Bad" may not be shared with the rest of the market in general. Put your ideas out there, let the market decide. If the market says bad, move on.

Honda's year-over-year gain wasn't as big as Chrysler's, but Honda's year-ago wasn't as depressed. So its 16 percent increase was able to nudge Honda ahead of Chrysler, even though the American company posted a larger year-over-year increase.
Honda +16%
The new Odyssey opened big (+47%), as all Honda trucks (save the hapless Ridgeline) surged ahead. The car side saw generally smaller gains, ranging from 5% for the Accord to 18% for the Fit.
Acura +13%
The MDX took a break this month, up only 3%, while its smaller sibling, the RDX, made a big move (+40%). Of the sedans, the RL actually had a big gain (+62%) but its volume is still a tiny fraction of the bestselling TL, which increased 21%.
Chrysler boasted a second big year-over-year increase in October. Jeep was the major engine of the company's gain, with an assist by the Ram pickup.
Chrysler +29%
Chrysler division was the reverse of most players in October, as its car side -- meaning, basically the 300 (+79%) -- outperformed its trucks -- meaning, basically, the Town & Country (+18%).
Dodge +3%
For Dodge, what the Caliber gave (+376% from very low total last October), the Avenger largely took away (-31%). Similarly, the Nitro's increase (+50%) was wiped out by the Grand Caravan (-9%).
Jeep +111%
A huge increase in Grand Cherokee sales (+291%) has got to be bringing a smile to Chrysler's Italian masters. In lesser news, the two baby Jeeps also saw big percentage increases.
Ram +37%
The big Ram pickup was the big story here.

Something else was going on. The Ole Miss leadership, in an effort to scrub the school of any remotely offensive symbols, took it upon themselves to get rid of a beloved part of the Ole Miss tradition. Those who disagreed were called racists. Or racially insensitive.
Which led many Mississippians to wonder, was the word rebel next on the chopping block? The words Ole Miss? Or the crucifix itself, because it conjured up images of burning crosses?
Why did the then-chancellor of Ole Miss, Robert Khyat, do it? I am not a psychiatrist, but I suspect he wanted to prove his racial bona-fides to the greater academic world, and to outsiders in the media. He wanted to prove that Ole Miss had moved past its past, and was a part of the civilized world.
A few years later, the new Ole Miss chancellor, Dan Jones, announced on his first day at the helm that his leadership would be all about reconciliation. The school was not ranked in the top 100 in U. S. News and World Reports, and was ranked behind most SEC competitors in academics and sports. But his theme was reconciliation?
The theme should have been achievement. Or innovation. Something that sounded like the future, not the past.
During his first year as Chancellor, some fans at Ole Miss football games began to chant the words "the South shall rise again" after the band played the song "From Dixie With Love." The chancellor's response? He asked the school's band director to modify the song to support efforts by the student government to censor its own student body. Why? Once again, it was done to heal racial wounds, and eliminate racial slights of any kind on campus.
What he thought he was teaching his kids was tolerance and sensitivity. But he was also teaching another value: censorship, and at a university no less. Which leads to the most virulent cancer any campus can imagine: self-censorship.
Moreover, the new chancellor's sensitivity didn't seem to cut in all directions. On the 50th anniversary of the real riots at Ole Miss back in 1962, the Ole Miss powers that be thought it a good idea to invite Harry Belafonte to be the keynote speaker. Belafonte has called iconic African-American figures like Colin Powell and Condeleeza Rice "house slaves" for doing the bidding of the slave master, George W. Bush. Where were Chancellor Jones and the Ole Miss sensitivity police when that decision was made?
The fact is, Ole Miss has come a long way since 1962. It has an African American student body of 16 percent, and there have been four African-American student-body presidents, including the current one, Kim Dandridge.
Things are not perfect in Oxford; they're not perfect anywhere. But the desire to scrub Ole Miss of any possible remnants of racism projects not only a lack of confidence about the future of the university, but a lack of trust in the present. And it represents a false hope of perfecting human nature. No college chancellor can do that.

Seaside Classic Tournament Stays GREEN
Written by: Ted Sorlein
Tuesday, June 17, 2008
Recycling collection information for the South County Seaside Classic July 12th and 13th (multiple venues Southern RI)
To all coaches, managers, players, families and soccer fans,
The South County Youth Soccer Club is very pleased to announce that the South County Seaside Classic will once again be partnering with the Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corporation (
) in handling our recyclables at our multiple soccer tournament venues. At all of our field sites we will have clearly labeled trash cans (for trash) and recycling collection bins (for recyclables). With your help we hope to recovery and divert as much recyclable materiel as we possibly can. It is extremely important for all of us to step up and do what is right in the name of reduce, recycle and reuse. Most of us are recycling at home and in our work places. Just because we are out and enjoying the open soccer fields does not give us the day off from recycling.
Do it for the kids (our future). The most important part of this recycling program is to show (educate) our kids how important this is (and how easy it is). Someday (soon we hope) all of our recreation facilities will be recycling friendly. Too many times have we seen our parks trash cans overflowing with recyclables.
Feel free to self police the trash and recycling containers. If you see someone about to throw a recyclable material into the trash kindly encourage them to recycle (show them how and where). Obviously (please) no trash in the recycling collection containers. We would also encourage all of you to consider forgoing altogether the use of "one time" water and sport drink bottles in favor of a more eco friendly re-useable beverage container. Our RI Central Landfill is overflowing with Poland Spring and Gatorade bottles.
This is not rocket science...it is recycling 101: Drink beverage of choice...find recycling container...give empty beverage a good upside down shake to fully empty any remains...place in recyclying bin...smile...done!
Thank you in advance for supporting our recycling efforts. If you have any questions please contact our Seaside Classic Recycling Coordinator Ted A. Sorlien @ 451-2688 or
. If you have any questions on the fields at the Seaside Classic July 12th or 13th please ask any of the many on site volunteers for assistance.
Last year was a huge success (see photos). This year (with your help) we hope to do even better.

Hi all!
I have a magnificent clump of this grass. It's really lovely how it waves in the breeze. It is also very heat tolerant and unlike those who tell stories, doesn't need moist soil -- since it's surviving here. However, I have a lot of it. I have a major clump that I'd like to give away.

Many businesses claim to have the success factor in making sure all aspects of customer service and business development are being met. Success is not achieved by merely having excellent customer support and having quality products and services. The most important aspect of success is when customers trust the brand and make it a household name.
Outsourcing to a Philippine call center is one of the solutions that businesses make to ensure that customer service and dependability is highly prioritized in all aspects.
A dependable service provider or product supplier meets the customer's expectation before and after delivery. It takes years or so much hard work to become a reliable household brand and minutes to destroy it. Here are the most important factors to build a successful brand.
A business should be reliable in both words and action. Delivery should always be consistent as well as customer experience. Through technological advancements and well trained call center agents, such goal can become a reality.
Consistent replies are preferred by customers which indicates a centralized databased with unbiased assessments and no misinformation.
Reliable inbound and outbound call centers provide credible support for your operation needs. A reputable outsourcing office not only has competitive employees but strategic tools at the same time.
3. Personalization
A Personalized approach is highly preferred with each interaction. Although scripts are important to maintain professionalism, agents can also make the customer experience better by giving it a personal touch. After all, nobody wants to deal with a robot.
Customers need a company with a solid background and reputable customer service for them to gain their trust.

3 Factors of a Reliable Customer Service Outsourcing
Wednesday, October 8th, 2014Maintaining Productivity in a Philippine Call Center
Wednesday, February 12th, 2014Philippine call centers are known worldwide to be very competitive and productive. As a matter of fact, this is what makes them stand out globally.
A contact center outsourcing's productivity will vary depending on the season. The queue rates will differ as a national event or global holiday fast approaches. On a full calendar year, productivity can soar high or even decline flat.
Circumstances like these are unavoidable that is why outsourcing services providers find ways to keep operations productive all year with the following practices.
Boosting Employee Morale
Goals can only be met if employees work together. Call Center agents down to team leaders, support and managers should be updated with the goals of the season entirely. Working together on the same page is very important for a team to succeed and excel. Call center agents are trained and provided with knowledge about the functions of the services they provide. Consistent and up to date customer service training are very important to make sure your business is customer service oriented. Employee morale are also boosted especially when managers are regularly trained on leadership.
Sufficient Equipment Supply
It is very important for Inbound and Outbound Call Centers in the Philippines to acquire the latest in Technology when it comes to equipment. High speed computers with own data servers, clear and noise canceling headsets are essential to making sure that each call is in excellent reception. Professional call centers in the Philippines have an in-house IT department that does regular computer maintenance for efficient operations.
Employee Engagement and Reinforcement
Inbound and Outbound call centers that have the most activities employ more contented and happy employees. Event, contests and other motivational changes are beneficial to call center agents as they can have fun, interact and stay motivated to work. The ideal employee is inspired and energetic. Call Centers who reward, promote and value their employees can also reap good outcome.
Celebrating Thanksgiving
Thursday, November 28th, 2013
Today marks a special day for the United States and all Philippine call center employees who have American clients. Thanksgiving Day is one of the most important holidays in the year. Though it is important to be thankful every single day, Thanksgiving is the day to celebrate its appreciation, meaning and reflection. It also means no work for most call center agents.
There is always something to be thankful about. From the roof on your head, the shoes on your feet, the people who keep you company or the call center outsourcing office you are employed at.
If you are still not convinced of how blessed you are, here are some things at work that are very important but have been neglected because it is always there.
Internet access, air conditioned rooms and comfortable seats are not available at every workplace. Think about it and be thankful since many have to work under the heat of the sun or sit at chairs with no back support.
Philippine contact center employees are paid above the minimum wage. Aside from monetary and health benefits, call center agents also have many learning opportunities such as the ability to improve their communication skills through training and coaching.
A supportive, understanding and approachable management is also something to be thankful for. Working for a good boss is very motivational and not everyone has the privilege of doing so.
Another thing to be grateful for is being around colleagues that are helpful and nice.
The most rewarding aspect of being employed in a Philippine outsourcing company is the sense of importance and worth. Call center agents are essential in providing customer service and to their families as they bring home the bacon.
What are you thankful for? Share your thoughts and be sure to let your friends and family know too. Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy the rest of the weekend!
Inexpensive ways to motivate call center employees
Friday, September 6th, 2013The ability to create a good working environment and motivate employees is one of the best skills a manager can have.
It is every business owner's dream to employ a hard-working and passionate team that is loyal and only aims to improve and grow. In a Philippine call center, it is very important to have this kind of attitude towards work, especially since attrition rates are very high. By hiring the right leaders to manage teams, you will be able to reinvent the culture, inspire call center agents to be passionate about customer service and improve the company though the employee's outlook.
Here are ways on how to create a good working environment for everyone without spending a fortune.
Praise your employees – It is the easiest to give and everyone wants to hear it. A simple praise from a manager or CEO improves employee morale very much that they'd want to work hard and do more because of it. Be generous with it and give praises every time you see improvement from the team and if you can, do it in front of others.
Hire internally – Are you looking for a manager to supervise your inbound call center agents? Don't hire one! Promote one from the team instead. Allow them to work together and on an equal level with each other. Hiring someone from the outside will result to a long transition phase or adjustment period and might not even gain the team's respect. It will also motivate the rest to work hard so he'd be like the person who got promoted.
Share your ideas – Most people don't like being told what to do. Instead of demanding what you want, ask them by sharing your idea and coming up with the phrase "What about…Do you think it will work?".
Do not criticize in public – It is demotivating for employees to know that they did something wrong. Instead of correcting them while others are around, try an indirect approach and let them learn from their mistakes. Call center employees are already stressed out from talking to irate callers, the best you can do is find solutions and not blame people.
Make everyone feel important – A call center outsourcing company's success cannot be achieved without the employees. Make everyone feel as if they are an important part of the team by highlighting and knowing their strengths and acknowledging them at the same time.
Give thoughtful small rewards – Internal contests, small pizza parties or track results displayed on a bulletin board are motivational and very inexpensive.
Share the success and the sadness – If your account or campaign goes well, celebrate and show that you are thankful of your employees hard work. If it does not, realize the cause and mentor the team into success.
The typical call center agent is easy to please – if you are lucky. Make the office a great place to work at by implementing these inexpensive ways.
Lifestyle change for Philippine call center agents
Wednesday, September 4th, 2013According to a study conducted by Nielsen Philippines, the cumulative compensation amount of BPO employees is about P250B annually. Call Center agents are well paid than most Filipino employees that are from of a different industry. As a matter of fact, call center professionals have become an addition as members of the growing middle class communities in the country. Aside from that, the spending habits of those working at call centers are also different than of the non-BPO industry employee – it is very different and very high.
The reason why call center employees spend so much is that they earn more than the average Filipino employee. They change their lifestyle to go with the demands of what they do which results to changing their consumption and purchasing habits. An example would be that of a Philippine call center's dress code. Instead of wearing casual clothes or company provided uniform, most employees have to purchase the latest trends to look good while working. Why? Because it boosts self esteem and confidence which is very important when talking to clients; and because everyone in the area dresses so nicely and even tries to imitate America's seasonal outfits.
Another lifestyle changing factor is the way these individuals consume. Since outsourcing companies are strategically located in or near commercial and retail districts, call center agents have the tendency to patronize the nearest and even expensive establishments to get their coffee, breakfast or alcohol fix. Although call center employees are paid well for their hard work, most of them only consume processed and pre-packed meals during their breaks such as canned goods, fast food , biscuits and chips. According to a recent survey, call center agents consumed these staples because it is the easiest to prepare and it is cheap and since they have other more important things to pay for.
What kind of things you might ask? Designer coffee, weekly out of town trips, after shift drinking sessions, pending loan bills, neglected credit card fees and the latest in gadgets and technology. Mostly things that they could not afford but have always wanted when they were not working in a call center yet.
Call center professionals were also asked if they could actually afford these little luxuries or do they only buy them for fulfillment and to keep up with trends and peers? Sadly, most of them said the latter.
Compared to the rest of the working population, those in call centers generally spend more. The only advantage is their contribution to the economy, but what about the concept of prioritizing? Is it not as important as it used to be anymore?

Philippine Call Center: Future Virtual Assistants
Wednesday, October 5th, 2011Virtual assistants are a growing trend in the business world. If you own a small business and you are in need for administrative support or other services, hiring a virtual assistant will be a strategic plan to grow your business. This is because Philippine call center providers can deliver the work with the same quality as the work office employees or even better. The most outstanding benefits of hiring a virtual assistant is that you can get the same service without having to deal with screening and sustaining a full-time employee. This means you will have fewer expenses and more savings.
Now, with the rapid changes in consumer demands and the rise of technology as well, there are more than administrative tasks that VA's can offer. Some of the changes anticipated in the role of virtual assistants of the future will include an entrepreneurial approach. Future assistants will have to possess deep knowledge of management principals, have sound interpersonal skills and a great degree of technical aptitude. These skills will be essential as more and more functions become automated requiring virtual assistants to respond with a human touch that automation will eliminate. Future virtual assistants will have to acquire specialized training in budgeting, negotiation, planning, supervision and delegation. Another important field in which the future assistants will have to be adept in will be security of sensitive information, as most information will be transmitted electronically. Future virtual assistants will no longer be considered as generalists instead they will be expected to be specialists in day to day business administration.
Competencies of Virtual Assistant
Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011The Internet has already revolutionized the way we live and work. For businesses, it has given greater flexibility and power in the way they do business. It minimizes time and distance, simplifies complex business processes, and enables more effective communication and collaboration, just like having a virtual assistant. Who would have thought? You can have someone to perform your administrative tasks remotely. In other words, they do not need to be where the business is centered. They could be one town away, one state away, cross country, or even international and still perform the job to the best of their ability.
For small businesses, they hire virtual office assistant from Philippines call center to make their work more productive yet cost-effective. Personal skill is the root of a VA business. A high level of proficiency in the services of their chosen niche, good organization skills, good spelling, grammar and punctuation skills and a basic understanding of web and computer technology are essential. VAs should have a basic understanding of business operation and budgeting as well. They should know how to create a business and marketing plan; have a basic understanding of bookkeeping; have the ability to maintain accurate records; utilize contracts and agreements; and manage time effectively. They should be excellent communicator which is part of professional skill. Competent communicators have the ability to drive a discussion to a positive outcome and possess excellent listening skills. Another trait is the ability to accept and/or delegate any given task or assignment effectively and wisely. These essentials will assist a VA to stay in business for a long time.

Aug 10, 2014 4:55 PM by Associated Press
SAN DIEGO (AP) - Lawmakers in California are considering a first-in-the-nation measure that would require universities that receive public funds for student financial assistance to set a standard defining consensual sex.
Legislation passed by California's state Senate in May and coming before the Assembly this month would require schools to set a so-called "affirmative consent standard" that could be used in investigating sexual assault allegations.
Several state legislatures, including Texas, have introduced bills to push colleges to do more after a White House task force reported that one in five female college students is a victim of sexual assault. But no state legislation has gone as far as California's bill in requiring a consent standard.
Critics say the state is overstepping its bounds, and some fear navigating the murky waters of consent spells trouble for universities.

I just had some question for those who have grown this variety before. I was expecting this corn to take around 80 days to harvest according to everything I have read about it. I put down 100 seeds on July 2nd, and today, 48 days later, I have some 7 foot tall plants that have already gone to tassel today, and the silks should be coming tonight. It just seems that this variety grew much faster than I have read.
Out of the 100 plants, 25 have produced side shoots, and of the 25, 8 have produced 2 side shoots. Many of the plants have 2 ears forming. But so far i have counted 15 plants with 4 ears forming and 11 with 3 ears forming. What i find most odd, is that only half of the corn has developed so quickly. The other half appears to be about 10-14 days behind which would put them at my expected date of September 20th for harvest. Anyone know why some of the corn is growing so quickly and producing so many ears/side shoots? All i have fertilized the corn with was some a few light sprayings of hydrolyzed fish oil and seaweed. This is my first time growing this variety so for all i know this could be normal. But all of my other varieties i gre this year, Sugar pearl, Serendipity and Triple Play all grew at the same rate. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Your corn is maturing quickly because you planted at the hottest part of the summer. The days to maturity is likely figured for an early planting where growth is slowed by cool weather for the first part of the crop. I've never seen that variety or any other vary 10-14 days in maturity unless part came up later. You won't find that difference if it all emerges together. At least I never have. Sweetcorn may start 3-4 ears on a plant but rarely matures more than two ears that are large enough to harvest. And two good ears usually only occurs on border plants that get extra sunlight. A plant might make 3-4 good ears under exceptional conditions if it were out in the open where all leaves received maximum sunlight. With corn yield potential is all about light interception. |

I would agree with fruitnut. My peaches and cream corn that I planted on June 6th only took 61 days to harvest, from planting seed to harvesting ears. It is supposed to take 83 days. That is a full 3 weeks ahead of schedule. I think heat and water played a role in cutting down harvest time. The batch I planted on March 19th took 84 days which was right on schedule. |
Here is a link that might be useful: My Garden Blog
I find that no matter how I try to stagger the plantings, the later ones catch up and all the corn matures within the same week. |
Maybe you need to do what I do. All 6 plantings have matured perfectly in order. |
I've harvested corn from June until late October, nine plantings one year. Each planting after the first was planted when the previous planting reached about 8 inches height. This gave a planting interval of about 5 weeks between dates 1 and 2. In mid summer it's a new planting every two weeks. Harvests are two weeks apart from harvest 1 to 9. In Illinois to get four harvests at two week intervals you'd need a planting about mid April, late May, mid June, and the end of June. This would give four harvests two weeks apart starting in July. I planted my first sweetcorn for roadside sales in the late 50s. Went into the State Street Bank in Belvidere, Illinois to get change for the upcoming sale and sold it all before I left the bank. |
Thanks for the replies everyone. Hey fruitnut, have any varieties of corn you would recommend? The sugar pearl was good, but those kernels were so shallow, you really didn't feel like there was any meat on those cobs. I really enjoyed the Serendipity, and would probably grow that next year again or select another triple sweet variety in its place. |
Pitcom: Mirai 301 has a deep kernel and keeps 10 days in the frig in good shape. I like it best when fairly mature. Two big ears makes a big pile of corn on my plate. The only issue with it for me was leaf rust on the late plantings. Tried another variety this year with better rust resistance and it wasn't nearly as good and didn't hold in the frig. |
Mirai 301 is one of those supersweet varieties, isn't it? |
Yes, an augmented bicolor supersweet from Harris Seeds. |
Fruinut, How many harvestable ears do you on average get from Mirai 301? If you have grown Serendipity, how does it compare to flavor, holding, and number of ears per plant? Thanks. Brett |
When planted at about a 30 inch by 10 inch spacing I probably average 1.25 to 1.5 ears per plant. Roughly one ear per two square feet. Those are nice big ears. I haven't grown Serendipity but can tell you that 301 is very sweet and tender. Mirai gets a lot of bad press on here. But a lot of people, in my experience, think it's great. I appreciate the holding ability. With a harvest every two weeks I can have corn every day all summer if desired. |
I love the Serendipity i grew this year. I only got 1 ear per plant throughout the whole lot. Most of the ears were quite large and very sweet. We did have a bit of excess rain ( 8 inches+!) during their last week of maturing which did water down a few ears. But having said all that, all of my neighbors and family have been begging for more. I was hoping for a better yield but I will probably grow it again next year because I am enjoying it. I looked at the other corn seed Fruitnut suggested over at harris seed. I'll have to call them to see if they have any untreated seed as I'm not looking for any of the stuff that's been chemically treated. |

I realize this is a very old thread, however, it is new to me and I need a question answered I cannot seem to find anywhere. Kandy Corn is a hybrid, the seeds are terrible at germination, so therefore, what on earth are Kandy Corn's parents? What are two corns I can plant and have the seeds of the two produce Kandy Corn? |
Even though Kandy Korn is one of the first se corns, the parentage may still be proprietary. Syngenta I think is the producer of the variety. |

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
If you have a photo that's too dark or too light or looks flat or needs less contrast or needs the lighting to be evened out, you can sometimes fix those lighting problems in Quick Edit, using the Exposure and Levels Adjustments. I'm going to open a couple of images with lighting problems here in the Organizer, and then I'll click the Editor button to open them into the Editor. I'm in the Quick Fix workspace. Down here in the Photo Bin, I'm going to double-click this image on the right. If your Photo Bin isn't showing, you can open it by clicking the Photo Bin icon in the taskbar.
Now, here's an image with uneven lighting, I'd like to open up the dark areas without blowing out the highlights, so that there is detail in both the shadows and the highlight areas. For that I'll go to the Levels controls, clicking the arrow to the right of Levels in the Quick Edit workspace. In Levels, I can adjust the dark areas, the Shadows; the light areas, the Highlights; and the Midtones separately. I'll start with the Shadows, clicking on the Shadows tab, and that gives me a separate set of controls that will impact the dark areas the most. I could drag the slider, or I can just hover over these various presets until I find one that I think looks good on this image.
I'm going to go with this one right in the middle. Next, I'll go to the Highlights tab and click that to get a whole new set of controls that will primarily impact the Highlights, which in this photo are over on the right side of the photo. I'll hover over these presets and I think I'm going to go with this one. Finally, I'll go to the Midtones tab, and notice that the slider starts in the middle. If I drag the slider to the left, or if I use the presets which are to the negative, like these, I get this kind of a gray overlay. So most often with Midtones I want to increase the contrast in the Midtones by moving the slider to the right of the starting point or using the presets over here.
I think I'm going to go with this one. So that does a pretty good job of evening out the tonality in this image, but I do think that overall it's still too dark, so this is where Exposure comes in. I'll go up to the Exposure control and click the arrow to the right of it to open the slider and the presets for Exposure. As I hover over the presets to the right of the one that's currently selected, the one with the blue outline, I can see that I'm starting to blow out the highlights right away, and these are just too much exposure. So I'm going to select this preset and then I'm going to come up to the slider and I'm going to drag it slightly to the left to fine-tune that result.
So that's how to use the Levels and Exposure controls in Quick Edit to fix lighting problems. Now let's take a look at another image which I'm going to double-click here in the panel Bin. Here's an image that has lighting problems. It needs, I think, a little more contrast, but it also has a colorcast. The actual scene wasn't this orange. I'm going to go to the Levels controls again, clicking the arrow to the right of Levels, and I'm going to come down to the two Auto buttons here. Watch what happens if I click Auto Contrast. The image does get a little more contrasty, but I still have that colorcast.
So I'm going to come down to the taskbar and I'll click Undo, and that takes me back to the original state of the image. Again, I'll open the Levels controls by clicking the arrow to the right of Levels and this time I'm going to try Auto Levels. Auto Levels impacts not only the contrast in the image, but also the color, giving me a result that's more true to life. So when you have a photo that needs more contrast and has a colorcast, Auto Levels is something to try, but if you have an image that needs a contrast boost but the colors already look right, then you might try Auto Contrast.
So those are the Levels controls and Exposure controls here in the Quick Edit workspace. They're useful when the main thing you want to correct about a photo is the lighting. Sometimes color is a bigger issue than lighting, and in those cases you might use the Color and the Balance controls, which is what we'll look at in the next movie.
