How many people attend typical sports events in your community?
If you're in a city with a major league sports team, the answer is probably in the tens of thousands for every event. I frequently marvel at sporting arenas that attract and hold as many people as live in my entire home town. Now think about the last time you went to a community lecture. I see announcements about visiting lecturers at colleges nearby that are free and open to the public on a regular basis. They look interesting – but I've rarely attended. On the other hand, we held season tickets to the Portland Trailblazers for several years, even after the tickets had become ridiculously expensive. I'm guessing that most of our employees are in the same boat. They'd rather play a competitive game than listen to a lecture or watch a video. And let's face it: when we're having fun, we're more inclined to repeat the activity and to remember it. Our aQuire Training team has built learning games into many of our courses with this very idea in mind – we learn better when we're having fun with the learning process. So as a trainer and manager, let's look at ways you can incorporate competition – healthy, fun competition – into your workplace to motivate and energize your team:
Competition can be a powerful tool. In the workplace, it can set up a team for division and distrust or, in the hands of a skilled manager, it can help build a stronger, more effective team. Try these ideas and let me know how they work for you! www.EasyCEU.com: CEUs for senior care professionals · www.aQuireTraining.com: Staff training for caregivers · www.Apply2Care.com: Caregiver job applications right to your inbox

"Boring "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management

- Career Opportunities
I worked at Amazon.com full-time (less than a year)
Good pay, talented & fun coworkers, flexible hours, work from home, wide selection of food trucks at lunch time
This was a developer position, and I barely got the opportunity to program, and when I did it was mind numbingly trivial. I worked in Retail Systems, and they are mostly bogged down in trouble tickets and constant feature requests from the business side, leaving little time to actually develop software. Furthermore, the paranoia about losing money leads to aversion toward software change, which means the code-base is a monstrous pile of incremental changes accumulated over the years. Almost no documentation, and I frequently would hear sentiments that documentation or comments would be a hindrance-- since that would mean having to maintain the documentation or comments in parallel with the code (this might have just been a cultural aspect of my team). There seems to be a revolving door for young developers, as well as people jumping around from team to team, so teams' know-how deteriorates to the point where there are large portions of code that no one is familiar with. And yet, you have to support that code when you are on-call. If you aren't familiar with on-call, it means getting paged at any time of day when there are problems with the software. You might be thrown into a scenario where you are responsible for Amazon ordering being down, and the problem lies in your team's software, but you aren't familiar with that part of the code. You will probably just have to relay this to your team members-- which is fine-- but needless to say it is stressful.
I was promised to eventually get the chance to do some real software development, but perhaps not for a year or more. If you are in it for the long haul, maybe it could be okay. I didn't care about the money, and it didn't make it worth letting my career stagnate for 2-3 years waiting until I was senior enough to do maybe have the chance to do some real work.
Slow down feature requests, and realize that technical debt and software cruft are a serious detriment to the companies future, and drives away talent who would prefer to design and innovate in a way which would secure a better future for the company. Treat your employees better-- the "customer obsession" and "frugality" mantras alienate employees to the point where they feel like customers come before them.

This super simple and sexy pump lets you look good and feel great: a perfect combination.
Style code: 200041-01
This cute but clever Jing Jing is a (truly) flat pump that lets the feet do their thing.
It's an elegant ladies pump that conforms to all the norms, except one: it's designed and made with your foot in mind. You can not only look good but you can utilise your feet as they should and feel great all at the same time. Effortless by design and simple by nature the Jing Jing is designed to honour the feet and let them do their thing.
We've removed the things you don't need and left a simple and soft vegan upper which is built on the thin, flexible yet durable sole so you get total flexibility for healthy feet and a full range of movement. The toes will be able to splay and recoil and help provide natural shock absorption. No need to crush your toes into those worn out, old pumps, instead treat your feet with the love they deserve.
Just because you're wearing shoes it doesn't mean you have to say goodbye to the ground beneath your feet. The ultra-thin sole let's your feet receive all the sensory information they need to inform the brain for skilful and natural movement.
With a natural local leather upper we create shoes that are not only good for the feet but also good for the soul which help to make an amazing impact on someone's life. Designed in London and made in Ethiopia we've combined the ancient wisdom of letting your feet do their thing with traditional shoe making techniques.
Politely reminding your feet that you care.
Summertime fun and games.
Smart, simple and healthy feet.
Impromptu ballet and rhythmic gymnastic routines … you never know.
Showing the kids how skipping should be done.
The hopscotch champion who can still kill it.
Soul Of Africa Jing Jing Ladies - I'll be wearing these a ton this summer!
Soul Of Africa Jing Jing Ladies - Great looking shoe, very comfortable.
Soul Of Africa Jing Jing Ladies - Please stop putting gummy labels on the inners of shoes, they leave a sticky mess when removed.
Soul Of Africa Jing Jing Ladies - I am a massage therapist and I'm always looking for a comfortable shoe. These are by far the BEST! I was a long time Merrell barefoot lover but they changed them. Please don't change anything to the Jing Jing shoe and I will be a customer for life! Thank you!
Soul Of Africa Jing Jing Ladies - Nice shoes, but sizing problem - see above.
SofA Jing Jing Ladies - Not as stretchy and accommodating as the other Jing Jing styles
Jing Jing SOA Ladies - Pretty and functional!

Piranha wants to go back to its roots for Risen 3Piranha Bytes went off in a different direction with its pirate-centric Risen 2: Dark Waters and that didn't sit well with some series fans. For the next game, Risen 3: Titan Lords, the studio claims it has gone back to its Gothic and Risen 1 roots. To what extent? That remains to be seen. Whether or not you agree with that promotional messaging, there's a good amount of in-game footage included in this overview video. I wouldn't take it as the end-all-be-all, but it should help clue you in to whether or not Risen 3 will hit the right notes for you personally. Also, the way the narrator pronounces "Piranha" is nothing short of magical. Comments not appearing? Anti-virus apps like Avast or some browser extensions can cause this.

When a North Texas high school began to fall in June, the town rallied around it, trying everything to save the 94-year-old structure. In just two months, a grassroots group raised $2 million to preserve Old Denison High School.
"I have never seen a preservation battle like this," says Denise Alexander, program officer at the National Trust's Southwest Office, which gave Castle's group a grant for a conditions-assessment report. "To raise $700,000 in a month with commitments of up to $2 million … the outpouring of support has really been amazing."
But on Monday, after months of legal battles and a resident's last-minute offer to buy the building, a crane began demolishing the last section of the Spanish Mission style-building.
"I'm very angry with the short-sightedness of it all," says Michelle Castle, who led the effort to save the 1913 section of the school. "They shouldn't have rushed to the demolition."... Read More →

The Abraham fight would've been good.
He's so unpredictable I wouldn't be surprised if he fought more. There's too many retirements that don't last and are done for other reasons. Things like, officially retiring to the ABC's and cancelling their boxing licence or something should be considered to show if they really are serious or not, separate the fakers. |
