Part 2: Adoption, Last Stop for Infertile Couples?
If you tuned in on Monday, I explored the story of Courtney and Patrick, 36, who have battled infertility for all ten years of their marriage. Finally, only last summer, did the IVF costs and eternal dashed hopes lead Courtney to the decision to adopt. Patrick has been open to this decision for years but it took a lot longer for Courtney to catch up!
"I had it in my head that old argument about giving birth to my biological children, blood of my blood kind of thing," says Courtney today. It took this smart nurse almost a decade to make her decision!
Last summer 2010, the couple Courtney and Patrick earned a foster care license from their Lincoln, Neb. county. They took a 3-hour orientation (as any foster family must) and underwent the 24 hours of hardcore parental training.She says, "We let our assigned resource foster partner know from the very beginning that we were interested in newborns and twins only, and we definitely would adopt any foster children."
It happened quickly: On January 5, a case worker called to say a potential twin match was made and we waited. And waited for the twins to be released from the hospital in mid-January. "The babes were dropped off one snowy night, we signed four sheets of legal paperwork to foster these twin boys, and then we were finally alone with them!" she says.
Did the new parents feel freaked out? Yep. "We knew next to nothing about these little guys but had a ton of social workers visit, follow-up agency care and the months have passed with now monthly visits from our social workers There is still so much paper work and regulations to formally adopt these two twin boys but overall the foster care experience has been wonderful."
Courtney also reports, "We've had the boys 8 months and I can't imagine life any other way. I thought of them as mine from the moment I looked at them, despite being told not to do that. That is the one drawback of adopting through foster care; in most cases family reunification is the goal. Our case was a bit different in that there was little chance for reunification because this particular bio mom has six other kids that have been removed from her care over the years."
Bottom line advice from joyous mom Courtney: "From that first moment, I could not love them any more. Love like this is everything I dreamed it would be; it makes me the woman I am meant to be, the family we were meant to be. All worth it."
Please tell me your story, and thanks to Courtney and Patrick for their perseverance!

We had a baby boy they told us had little chances of reunification because his mother had had 5 other children removed from her previously. We had him for 8 months, the judge returned him to her anyway. It was the most heart breaking experience I've ever had. Definitely don't get attached so soon, even if they tell you it's likely you'll be able to adopt!

Tony Romeo
Tony Romeo is Harrisburg bureau chief for KYW Newsradio 1060.
Born and raised in the Harrisburg area, Romeo began his professional career at age 18, while in college at Penn State Harrisburg. He was still a college student when he covered the Three Mile Island nuclear disaster for WSBA Radio in York, Pa.
Romeo also worked for five years as a television reporter in Harrisburg, and served as news director for an AM-FM pair of stations in White Plains, NY. He has also worked at stations in Florida and Texas.
Romeo came to KYW Newsradio in the summer of 1990. In 1993 he was assigned to a choice beat: to succeed famed reporter Sandy Starobin as Harrisburg bureau chief. In 1994, he came to Philadelphia and the City Hall bureau, where he served as bureau chief.
Romeo has covered major stories during the administrations of John Street and Ed Rendell, including the Philadelphia school district takeover, sports stadium controversies, the 1999 mayoral campaign, and the Republican National Convention in 2000.
On January 1, 2003, with former Philadelphia mayor Ed Rendell elected to serve as Pennsylvania governor, Romeo was tapped to return to Harrisburg for a second stint as bureau chief there. KYW Newsradio said Romeo's appointment was part of the station's plan to beef up its coverage in that area.
In his spare time, Tony has served as publicity chairman of the South Central Pennsylvania Food Bank.

In comparison to the other sushi places in town, you get the same product, or often times better, for significantly less. if you don't mind a no frills place, give it a try. The guy is really nice, and takes care of his regulars too.

US warns of 'implosion' of Nato alliance in Afghanistan
The US Defence Secretary, Robert Gates, appealed directly to Europeans yesterday to support the war in Afghanistan, warning that violence and terrorism would increase if Nato was defeated there.
Mr Gates said that the transatlantic alliance was under such stress over operations in Afghanistan that it risked imploding. Speaking in Munich to an audience that included presidents, foreign and defence ministers of many EU countries, Mr Gates acknowledged serious shortcomings in Nato operations in Afghanistan.
This was because the alliance was not working properly together to share the burden, he said.
"I am concerned that many people on this continent may not comprehend the magnitude of the direct threat to European security," he said. "We must not – we cannot – become a two-tiered alliance of those who are willing to fight and those who are not. Such a development, with all its implications for collective security, would in effect destroy the alliance."
Mr Gates's words took to a new, and far more acute, level arguments that have become ever sharper in recent months and culminated at an ill-tempered Nato summit in Lithuania last week. While the disputes at the Vilnius summit remained mostly behind closed doors, however, Mr Gates brought them loudly into the open at Munich.
Mr Gates was careful to name no names, but suggestions that some allies were less willing than others to sustain casualties have become a sensitive matter in Germany, where politicians are fending off calls from the Nato command either to contribute more troops to the international force as a whole, or to divert some of the troops serving under German command in northern Afghanistan to the more hostile terrain in the south.
Both the German Foreign minister, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, and the Defence minister, Franz Josef Jung, who had already addressed the Munich conference, had been at pains to set the record straight from their perspective. They insisted that the total number of German troops had been limited by the Bundestag, and there was little chance of an increase. They insisted, too, that northern Afghanistan was a dangerous place and Germany has taken casualties. They also argued that if, as Nato has proposed, some German troops were redeployed in the south, this would put at risk the continued success of the operation in the north.
German ministers recognise that their unwillingness to redeploy troops or increase the number is seen in some quarters as evidence of something akin to national cowardice.
While it is possible that France will send an additional 1,000 troops to help out in the south, this will not end the argument, which is partly about the whole performance of the alliance in Afghanistan, and partly about broader issues, such as the Nato command structure and commitment of individual members. As other speakers also noted, there was a deep gulf in public support for the operation between the US and many European countries, where it was doubted that success was even possible.
Mr Gates went out of his way to defend the Afghanistan operation as all of a piece with Nato's "core" purpose: "To defend the security interests and values of the transatlantic community". He presented Afghanistan as the epitome, in practice, of the threats that had been discussed by the alliance in theory during the 1990s – with the combination of an unstable state, terrorists linked by new technology; the nexus between drugs, terrorism and organised crime, as well as a "safe haven" that would allow "Islamic extremists to turn a poisonous ideology into a global movement".

I'm creating a new SharePoint 2010 (Enterprise) site, that will use variations, but have a couple of questions about notification emails:
when setting up variations in the site collection settings, there an option for "Notification", which states "Send e-mail notification to site and page contacts when a new site or page is created or a page is updated by the variation system."
We plan to have 6 variations: English US as the source, English UK, French, German, Dutch and Spanish as targets, with different content authors for each target variation.
How can I setup the "site and page contacts" so that each author gets an email for the target variation they are responsible for? i.e. where are "site and page contacts" defined?I'm currently thinking that I will be disabling "Variations Propagate Page Job Definition", so that updates to the English US source pages won't propagate the target variations of the page, undoing any manual translation or slight changes.
Given that, will using the "Update" and "Create" button in the variations section of the Publishing ribbon still work, and if so will it still send the notifications (given that I do question 1 above)
Hopefully these two questions make sense, but I need to clarify anything please let me know.
Many thanks

"The Best So Far!!!!!!!"
I would read this one over and over again. I enjoyed the fact that it was light and laugh of out loud moments
Made me laugh
I really wish Micheal would stop being a punk and come out of the closet
"The Best in the Series!!!!!"
The best in the series. Jack and Abbey had a love that with stood deception, hurt, and heart break. Poor Babs just wanted some attention. Collins was a prick
"A Wonderful Surprise"
I never think the audio edition is better than the print edition. I think it adds to the story. I enjoy hearing the characters but I also enjoy giving them voices myself
The best part of the story is the fact the are computer geeks. I also like the fact that no one died and there were no guts involved
Yes... You have no problem knowing who the characters are
Yes... I have issues putting down good books. I wish I could read all of the time but they force me to work for my paychecks.

Twitter Bootstrap 3 has been released recently. We're going to use in a new project and customize it to fit our needs.
Here're a few issues we came across in the past 2 projects.
- as TB is written with LESS it will took some time unless there is a reliable SASS version
- working with unstable SASS version we found out that styles were imported more than once - this is perhaps due to the old SASS bug that includes the same files more than once
- we could't make 'include-once' workaround work with SASS version from the gem
- we figured out that the best what we can do is build TB from the builder but…
- it requires a lot of work on our part just to do simple modifications like e.g customizing navbar as we can't just override the default variables
We are looking for a solution that would make customizing Bootstrap less problematic. What is your experience? What strategy do you use? Have you tried to use TB3 in Rails(4)?

Classic games and challenging puzzles are fun for games lovers. Classic Pythagorean Puzzles is the best variation of tile-based antique Greek games offered by Pythagoras as an excellent brain trainer for abstract thinking. The objective of the game is to build various figures such as flowers, animals and other images which you can find out in real life. When you start new game you see a sample you need to replicate with the fixed set of tiles on the game board. The samples you replicate are being approximations of real objects, which are easily to recognize by shapes, proportions and structure. Classic Pythagorean Puzzles is harder than it looks and you can find out that. It also includes a built-in visual puzzle builder for creating your own games. The graphics are attractive and MIDI-based music with crisp digital sound effects add to the fun.

thanks kersh. primary smells lovely. Since I've made plenty of mods to the original recipe, mine shall now be known as Flowergarden GFIPA and when I dial it in, prove it out, taste test it & can give it the ol' two thumbs up, I will post my own recipe. I am looking fwd to posting updates but I am afraid that we heading into the Easter season already and planning longer fermentation brews like that Briess GF Lager will be the order of the day. To Better Brewing!
Please confirm: diacetyl rest? lower the temp prior to racking to secondary then lagering? Thanks for educatin'! Good- I will roll it out as is written, while jacking up the hops a gentle touch to attempt to drown out sorghum off flavors.

Annie Wilson. |
Nov. 4, 2011
Junior forward Annie Wilson (Darien, Conn./Darien) earned a spot on the All-BIG EAST Second Team, when the honors were announced Thursday night. This is the third BIG EAST honor for Wilson this season.
Wilson was named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll on October 3, following an impressive performance against BIG EAST rival Rutgers. She earned a spot on the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll on September 5, after scoring two goals including the game-winner in overtime against Lehigh on September 4. Fellow teammates Charlotte Tierney (Rye, N.Y./Holy Child) and Kelly Mosser (Fairfield, N.J.) were named to the weekly honor roll in the last week of the season, after a 3-2 overtime win against Providence. Catherine Shugrue (Devon, Pa./Episcopal Academy) earned her spot on the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll on October 17. Wilson earned BIG EAST honors in the 2010 season after scoring two goals and tallying two assists in a win against LaSalle. Wilson finished the 2011 season with five goals and one assist totaling eleven points.

Featuring 4G LTE, a quad-core processor, and Android 4.4.2, the Lucid 3 is a compact smartphone with a competitive on-contract price tag.
Equipped with 4G LTE, a 5-megapixel camera, and a quad-core processor, the Lucid 3 is available for free (yes, free), for Verizon users after they sign a two-year contract.
Read more about the LG Lucid 3 for Verizon.
At 5.2 inches tall, 2.6 inches wide, and 0.4 inches thick (131.6mm by 66mm by 9.9mm), the Lucid 3 is pocketable and easy to navigate with one hand. It's also relatively lightweight at 4.37 ounces (123.89g).
The handset is powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core processor and a removable 2,440mAh battery, which has a talk time of up to 12.5 hours.
The phone runs the latest Android 4.4.2 KitKat OS, and as expected, it has plenty of Google apps like Chrome, Gmail, Plus, Maps, Hangouts, Drive, and YouTube.
One weak point for the Lucid 3 is its 5-megapixel camera. Although it is fast, has many features, and takes decent scenic photos, indoor pictures look drab and washed out.
The phone's 4.7-inch display features Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and a 960x540-pixel resolution.

text: Many organizations are attracted to the well documented benefits of a software product line approach. However, many would-be adopters encounter difficulty in implementation. We share insights based on fifteen years of experience collaborating with a large number of organizations and using our diagnostic, the SEI Product Line Technical ProbeSM. We have examined a variety of government and commercial organizations, ranging in size from fewer than 50 people to global corporations. Based on these results, we characterize two strategic pitfalls that we have repeatedly seen: 1) failure to recognize that a software product line approach is a business and technical strategy, and 2) failure to manage the product line-unique aspects of governance and roll-out appropriately. We provide a set of diagnostic questions and remedies for problems related to these failures. We also provide additional downfalls that tend to occur in either engineering-based or developer-focused organizations.

Description This is a Continuation-In-Part Application of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/987,684 filed Nov. 12, 2004 now abandoned and claiming the priority of German application 102 34 043.9 filed Jul. 26, 2002. The invention relates to a microstructure apparatus for heating and atomizing a fluid, comprising an inner tube surrounded by an outer tube and a microstructure formed at the interface between the inner and the outer tubes. Microstructure apparatus for heating fluids are used particularly for a position-independent condensation-free evaporation of liquids and for continuous flow heating particularly of gases. Preferred areas of utilization are chemical or pharmaceutical processes and generally the chemical engineering field. It is generally known to heat fluids by way of electric heating elements. This has the advantage that the heat transfer can be controlled rapidly and in a simple manner by controlling the electric power input. In this connection, microstructure apparatus have, the advantage that, because of the principally smaller dimensions, the heat transfer paths are short and a large specific heat transfer surface can be provided such that the volume-based heat transfer can be relatively high. DE 199 17 521 A1 discloses such a microstructure apparatus including direct and indirect electrical resistance heaters for heating fluids. The microstructure apparatus comprises layers including microwave channels for the passage of a fluid to be heated and layers including electrical heaters. In comparison with a conventional heat exchanger which is not microstructured, a volume-specific increase of the heat transfer of at least the factor 100 is mentioned. The proposed inner structured apparatus however requires several heating elements with dimensions in the micro-range. For designing the microstructure apparatus for larger fluid flows a number of such heating elements are required and that number increases with the flow volume for added capacity. This is necessary particularly if the volume-specific heat transfer capacity of the microstructure apparatus must not be reduced. It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a microstructure apparatus for heating and atomizing fluids which has heating elements that are simple in their design and which, furthermore, provides for an extremely fine atomization of the fluid via the microstructure apparatus. In a microstructure apparatus for heating and atomizing a fluid with an inner body received in an outer tube, circumferential microstructure passages are formed into the inner surface of the outer tube or the outer surface of the inner body so as to form a flow passage which is provided with an inlet connector and heating means are incorporated into the inner body for heating the fluid conducted through the microstructure flow passages under pressure, the microstructure fluid passages extending spirally around the inner body so as to proved for a relatively long microstructure fluid flow passage which is open at the axial end thereof for discharging the fluid heated pressurized therein through the open axial end. It is particularly important that a relatively large or macroscopic heating element is used which has operational advantages in comparison with several micro-heating elements, such as comparatively simple handling and low cost and also use advantages, in combination with a microstructure with its advantage of high efficiency in the transfer of heat to a fluid as pointed out earlier. The materials of which the microstructure apparatus is manufactured are determined mainly by the application for the apparatus. Basically any materials such as ceramics or other inorganic, non-metallic materials, metals, plastics or combinations or compounds of these materials are suitable. Below the invention will be described in greater detail on the basis of some embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. The first embodiment, as shown in The microstructure is essentially encased between the inner and the outer tubes wherein, ideally, the inner and outer tubes are in sealing engagement at the contact areas. The microstructure 5 is in the embodiment shown in The inner tube 1, which is shown in all figures to be longer than the outer tube 2 extends at both ends from the outer tube 2, although this not necessary. This is also true for a body with a cylindrical outer surface which may be used in place of an inner tube 1 as mentioned earlier. The inner tube or such inner body is in all the embodiments directly or indirectly part of a heating structure. As a direct part of a heating structure, the tube or the body is an integral component of a heating device for example in the form of a resistance heating element. As an indirect part, the tube or the body is for example a heat conductor which conducts heat from a separate heater to the fluid to be heated. These may be separate heaters arranged within the inner tube or adaptively connected to the body. As heaters, electric resistance heating elements are considered to be particularly suitable. Alternatively, a heating medium may be conducted through the inner tube for heating the inner tube 1. In a third embodiment as shown in In In In In Basically, also other embodiments are possible wherein both connections are provided by open ends of the thread-like microstructure passages. Such an arrangement could be miniaturized in a particularly advantageous manner since separate connectors or sealed connections would not be needed. Such an embodiment could furthermore be used as continuous flow heater installed between two separate fluid volumes. Since, with such an arrangement, no fluid losses could occur by leakages, sealed connections between the inner and outer tubes would also not be necessary. Further uses for embodiments with the thread-like passages open at least at one end of the outer tube would be for example the atomizing of a liquid to a spray or an aerosol or in the gasification or vaporization of a liquid wherein the particular advantage of the microstructure apparatus resides in its particularly sensitive and accurately adjustable flow control capability. Another embodiment of the microstructure apparatus is shown in The microstructure passages 5 or the microstructure flow chain may be accessed at any location by additional connections. In this way, fluid amounts with an intermediate temperature can be withdrawn or introduced. Applications for such arrangements are present particularly in chemical engineering, wherein certain reactants or catalysts for chemical reactions must be introduced within a narrow temperature range or small fluid amounts with a certain temperature or a temperature profile must be withdrawn for example for an analysis. Basically, the microstructure apparatus may be conceived as a chemical micro-reactor. Depending on the application, one or more reaction chambers, that is, one or more areas with increased volume of the passages may be provided in the microstructure or microstructure chain. Further, the manufacture of the whole microstructure apparatus or parts thereof, for example the inner, the intermediate or the outer tube of a catalytic material or a coating of the microstructure 5 at the contact areas with the fluid is possible. A further increase in the volume-specific heat transfer capability can be achieved by an increase in the volume-specific heat transfer area in the microstructure 5, for example, by a porous coating or by roughening of the heat transfer surface areas. The porous coating may also consist of a catalyst or the roughened heat transfer area may consist of a catalyst or be coated by a catalyst. In addition, to avoid corrosion and cavitation, the heat transfer surfaces may be provided with a protection layer consisting for example of a chemically resistant plastic or metallic material or with a wear layer of a chemically or physically deposited metal, hard material or ceramic material. The apparatus according to the invention is formed by an expedient arrangement of microstructures or, respectively, micro-structured surfaces which, in connection with at least one throttle-like opening permit the vaporization and atomization of the fluids out of a continuous liquid stream with high efficiency. It is pointed out that, with the vaporization or atomization of liquids flowing continuously through closed passages or pipes generally a so-called annular flow pattern occurs. Herein liquid is vaporized at the heated pipe or passage walls and forms along the walls an insulating annular layer of gas or vapors which greatly reduces the heat transfer to the liquid core of the flow. As a result evaporators or heat atomizers of conventional design operate normally with relatively low efficiency. A way to counter the formation of such "annular flow" phenomena is to make the micro passages so small that an outer gas layer can not be formed, that is the dimensions of the micro passages do not allow for the formation of such a layer. Then however the gas layer forms closed gas bubbles which results in "vapor clogging" generating high pressure losses which again results in operational inefficiencies. However, by combination of kinetic energy, thermal energy and continuous deflection of the flow by continuously changing the flow direction leads to a very efficient vaporization or atomization of the liquid as it is achieved with the apparatus disclosed herein. The continuous change of the flow direction during the heating process prevents the formation of an "annular flow if the microstructure totally fills and seals the space between the inner body and the outer tube. Rather the fluid flow is subjected to a constant acceleration so that the fluid is atomized by an input of kinetic energy and heat. It is noted that, because the atomization is based on a combination of kinetic energy and heat energy a complete independence of the position and orientation of the apparatus in the space is obtained. With the procedure according to the invention it is furthermore possible to obtain aerosols with particular desired properties. The size of the droplets can be influenced in limits by the passage geometry and by the amount of thermal energy added. Since the droplet size of the aerosol is determined by the combination of thermal energy (coupled-in heat) and kinetic energy (applied atomization impulse or, respectively fluid speed), the properties of the aerosol can be adjusted to a large extent. An advantageous application resides for example in the charging of a gas stream with a liquid. To this end either an already existing gas/liquid mixture (aerosol) is conducted through the apparatus and converted to the desired state by the application of thermal energy or the gas/liquid mixture is formed in the apparatus. The adjustment to the desired state can be achieved by supplemental vaporization (establishing a single phase fluid in place of the two-phase fluid) or simply by a temperature adjustment of the two-phase mixture. But, as already mentioned, a certain desired aerosol state can also be established. Exemplary Applications: The apparatus described herein has already been used successfully in various technical applications:
The invention however is not limited to the arrangement as specifically described. It is for example possible by an incomplete sealing between the microstructure and the outer tube to provide for a relatively large volume which can be filled formed vapor/gas mixture. The gas expands by the in-coupling of thermal energy additionally in the direction of the opening providing for turbulence in the fluid flow and additional atomization of the liquid enhanced by kinetic energy. Instead of a single channel an arrangement of intersecting channel sections may be used. This provides for impact structures which atomize the droplets upon impact and thereby intensify the atomizing process. With the high position independence of the apparatus during vaporization and atomizing by the use of micro passages an influence of gravity is not noticeable either. Even downward vaporization against gravity forces is easily possible. Further instead of a single supply line two (or more) supply lines may be provided through which different fluids a concurrently supplied to the vaporizer/atomizer. The different fluids are mixed as a result of the continuous direction reversal in the spiral passages (or other structures) At the same time, the fluids are heated to the desired temperature. It is unimportant, whether the fluids have the same phase or different phases (liquid/liquid, gaseous/liquid, liquid/gaseous). Consequently, the apparatus can be used as a continuous mixer-vaporizer or, respectively, mixer-atomizer. Patent Citations

Well, I finally broke down and went to the web site last night, before midnight.
After all the horror stories I'd been hearing, I was shocked to get in immediately. It was surprisingly easy to navigate, just like Amazon or Kayak, just like the president promised. All the options were laid out clearly, and the prices were surprisingly affordable, even for the Gold Plan. I signed up, and I finally have the insurance I've been waiting for all these years, good in every state, and it allows me to keep all my doctors. It includes free fitted condoms, and I can finally get that hysterectomy I've been putting off all these years.
I was wrong, Mr. President, and you were right. I'm sorry I so foolishly listened to ignorant criticism of this wonderful new law these past four years, and so harshly and falsely criticized it myself. I don't know what I can do to make amends, but I know that from here on out, I will be a Democrat right up until that day that the death panel makes what I'm sure will be the right decision for me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank you Mr. President.
[Update a few minutes later]
I'm a little shocked to hear that some people think I would make jokes about something as serious as health care.

One of the changes being made to the UI is the ability to show the BO's AND 3 tiers of power bars. Currently you can either show the BO's and 2 rows of powers or 3 rows of powers and no BO's. With 3 rows plus BO's there should be plenty of room then for all the powers even at VA and beyond.

I'm shortly going to give my first couple of guest lectures
to the current EMMS (Executive Masters in Marketing in Sales) cohort. EMMS is a
post-graduate degree taught between the very pleasant campuses of the ESADE
Business School in Barcelona and the SDA Bocconi School of Management in Milan.
Both are ranked global Top 20 business schools, I'm glad to report.
The `Executive` bit refers to the fact the students take the
course in modules whilst they are in full-time management positions. Bearing that in mind, my act will be entitled
`57 Years… 57 Lessons…` a theme designed
to send the graduating students on their way knowing what I've learned in entrepreneurial
business in 57 years on this earth. This, I'm told, will contain valuable
lessons for their current and future personal and commercial lives once freed from
the part-time bonds of academe.
Recognise and act on
Generation X, Y, and Z behaviours
Slide 33 in the PowerPoint fest is entitled `You are
unlikely to be your audience` and warns `Generational change is profound. Learn
to understand, recognise and act on Generation X, Y, and Z behaviours. `
Generational change is indeed profound. It affects much more
than the common and usually grossly mistaken assumption in sales, marketing and
communications planning and execution that the audience for the product or
service thinks like the provider.
The problem, it appears, extends far beyond the relationship
between vendor and customer but is also rife within providing organisations. In particular, it is that there is currently mutual
incomprehension between what employers think
Gen Y staff want from their positions and what younger employers actually desire in their careers.
It's something that in an era of ever more rapid change my
thrusting, international, Generation X-ish audience are going to have to deal
with increasingly. Whether they climb
the ranks of multi-national management or embark on the entrepreneurial journey
and start hiring.
Car crash of
This generational gap was highlighted recently in research
conducted by Penna, a company, unsurprisingly, that offers interim management,
coaching and HR services. A thousand senior managers and a thousand Gen Y
employees (aged between 18 and 34) were surveyed and the results show a car crash
of confusion getting off to an early start.
According to the results, employers believe leading a team
and experiencing lots of different jobs and sectors are the most important
motivators for Gen Y. Wrong! Gen Y employees actually rate achieving a
work-life balance and 'being totally fulfilled and happy in my work' as most
important - alongside earning good money, that is.
Interestingly, the report didn't make the mistake of
assuming Gen Y is homogenous. For instance, it split Gen Y employees into two
groups - those aged 18-24 and those aged 25-34. That split reveals some rather
contrary results, showing the 18-24 year-old group perhaps being much closer to
Gen X values than their more laid-back older Gen Y siblings.
When it comes to leading a team , however, younger employees,
the research found, are more driven (21 per cent), compared to those aged 25-34
(17 per cent). However, the clearly-out-of-touch employers believe managing a
team is more important to older Gen Y staff (28 per cent).
Those aged 25-34 also rated the importance of work-life
balance much higher (44 per cent compared to 31 per cent in the younger group).
Employers underrated the significance of work-life balance for younger
employees - 18 per cent believed it was important o 18-24-year-olds versus 27
per cent for 25-34-year-olds.
Values and loyalty
The research also revealed managers are underestimating the
importance to employees of organisational values; 13 per cent of 18-24 year-olds said 'values
that reflect my own' was an important factor when choosing a company to work
for, but only seven per cent of managers believed this to be the case.
Loyalty also ranked highly with the employees, with 64 per
cent of 18-24 year-olds agreeing they believe 'it is important to be loyal to
your employer' compared to 56 per cent of 25-34 year-olds. However, when asked what age group they'd
most associate with loyalty to a company, only three per cent of employers said
18-24 year-olds compared to 26 per cent for those aged 25-34.
Problem or
Should these findings prove to be true over time we could be
having to handle a shortage in management in future, assuming that younger
generations in the workplace are not automatically going to want to sit behind
the desks of todays' leaders and managers. I think you can count on that.
More likely, in my opinion, is that Gen Y's new attitudes along
with new technology will drive further change in the nature of management and
the structure of companies. The
alternative will be a decline in engagement levels, productivity, and increased
staff attrition rates accompanied by the inevitable and perennial cries of
skills shortage.
But we should always be wary of lies, damned lies and
statistics. It'll be most useful for those in charge of managing Gen Y to take
the time to sit down with them and find out what they want - or at least what
they think they want - and build that
into their management and business development strategy.
Get engaged
As slide 63 of the presentation warns, `You can't create
something new without destroying something old. Learn to let go and move on
before someone does it for you! ` So, get engaged with Generation Y. They will be running things, so help them do
it well on their terms and from their perspective.
After all, the world of business didn't fall apart when we dispensed
with the conventions of wearing ties, using fax machines or talking into wired devices
that just transmitted voice, did it? And
, yes, Gen Y, unbelievably, we late baby boomers once did that stuff.
