Thread: Are you Johnny-On-the-Spot?
September 9th, 2005 #1
Are you Johnny-On-the-Spot?
I am finally coming to terms with the fact that I SUCK at improvising.
At conventions, autograph sessions and stuff, when people ask me to make them a doodle, it´s as if my Muse suddenly went for coffee or something.
99,99% of all drawings I make in public look like they were done by my 6 years old niece.
I was asked to join a studio once and I could effectivelly seer my Muse nodding frantically "-NO!" behind the person´s head:"- I don´t do my Magic in public!"
The best drawing I´ve ever done under these circumtances was once, when there was this couple that was the last in the line (it was a VERY short line )..
I asked them if they wanted to go for a walk and come back later, maybe 10-20 minutes or so.
They did and I was left there alone for 20 minutes.
When they came back even I was admired by what I had sketched.
Do you share this problem?

You seem to be a little too nervous mentally or, you're too worried it will look bad, whitout acctually knowing you are. (knowing doesn't acctually help either).
I sometimes do, but I rarely draw in public, so I can't really tell.

i rarely draw in public/school. otherwise it involves somebody coming up to me and going " omg, you should like, totally be an artist when you're older lol"
which effectivly makes me walk away from them.

I was doing a marker demonstration at college, i know exactly how you feel,
i had all these exampels lined up of what could be done with the different markers, i go to draw something, but all i could manage was a weird melted cat figure.

About drawing in public, it´s just a matter of getting used to it.
And when girls start appearing from behind you saying "Omg, you draw so nice. Would you please mary me?" then it even gets addicting.
September 10th, 2005 #8
i bet you guys encountered the numerous amount of people saying" wow you draw so good, everytime i try to draw it looks like crap, how do you guys do it" i will always say.. that i have been drawing for a long time but the answer would definately be obvious and rhetorical so most of the time when someone admire my work and says something nice, i just smile and nod and say thanks even though they ask me how to get good at drawing.. i just cant answer question like that by people whom draw stick figures...
well thats something i just wanna get off my chest.
anyhoo as for drawing in public, yeah it takes a certain time of doing it and then you get comfortable but when strangers come and say its good and they stay to talk more thats when the irritating part of it kicks in. i wish i can stab my pencils into their eyes. hmph!

I recommend Graffiti. Its the definitely the best form of publicly improvised art. Even if you just do it in a sketchbook out in public it will increase you willpower for producing art straight out of your mind with somebody looking over your shoulder . It works effectivley because these laymen are baffled and dumbfounded by it, and they can't really say anything when they watch you do it because it is so unpredictable from what your doing with it, to where you're going with it and how you're coming up with it. They just stare in awe wishing they had the talent.
Strange coincidence that every man whose skull has been opened had a brain.

STOP watching ME!
Hello EG,
I don't draw in public but I did have a job at one time where artwork was needed on occasion. At those times I was the, "go to" guy and I sometimes had a group of onlookers that watched as I worked. The problem with this was that none of them claimed to have any atristic ability, so they were pretty easy to impress. Although I feel that I had done some rather nice work back then I was never nervious because I was pretty much getting pats on the back for just OK work.
Now if I had to sit in front of you guys and pop out a goodlooking piece of art, well that would be another story. I think my finished work looks OK, but as many times as I have to redraw an arm or leg while another artists was watching would make me kind of uncomfortable. Another thing is I don't sit and complete a work all at once. I tend to take many breaks ( potty,drink and such) I think people would get tired waitting for me to finish.
I think your comfort zone when it comes to drawing in public will only get better in time as long as you continue to allow folks to watch you. But I think the main thing is not to worry about it.
Bruce P.

Its like anything, if you don't do it much, you will not feel comfortable doing it in front of many people, it just takes practice just like public speaking compared to talking to a bunch of people you know, essentially you're doing the same thing, but its a different mindset that you need to have.

Acee: Pagano's defense does like it said it could
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Philip Rivers loves to watch football, especially good football, especially good football that helps his team win.
The Chargers quarterback spent quite a few moments Sunday on the sideline at Arrowhead Stadium appreciating the way his team's defense was playing.
"Unbelievable," Rivers said. "I've always liked to stand up and watch, but the way these guys are flying around, even more so. When they're getting turnovers, you never know when another ball is going to pop out."
The Chargers on Sunday took the ball away from the Kansas City Chiefs six times, which led to the majority of the Chargers' points in a 37-20 victory.
"It's definitely gratifying and rewarding to know there are games we can win the game," said safety Eric Weddle, whose interception six minutes in started off the parade. "Our offense didn't do anything for about two quarters, and we got up on them … That stuff is going to happen. The way we approach each game, we have to have the energy to know we have to go out and make plays."

This is the defense they said they could be. This is the defensive coordinator he said he would be.
Certainly not six takeaways every game, but playing with abandon, forcing the action.
Not since Shawne Merriman was healthy and Shaun Phillips was younger and Antonio Cromartie's talent outweighed his folly have the Chargers had this kind of ability coursing throughout their defense.
"We haven't had a lot of playmakers in the past few years," outside linebacker Phillips said. "Now we've got so many guys that can come in and generate plays."
Speed and athleticism are the ingredients for game-changing plays on defense. And after a week of straying, of playing soft out of respect for the offense they were facing, first-year coordinator John Pagano cooked up a beautiful dish of turnover surprise.
"We're an attack defense," Weddle said. "When we feel like we're going to sit back and play like we did last week. It wasn't us … The game plan was good. Maybe on the players' mindset it's different when the whole game plan is trying to take away what an offense does and not giving up the big play."
Sunday, the Chargers sent more people after Cassel more often than I can remember them doing since Wade Phillips was around. Cornerback Antoine Cason and Quentin Jammer were allowed to touch someone at the line. The stunts on the line were clearly too much too often for the Chiefs. The front seven owned the line. Ends Vaughn Martin and Corey Liuget decided to have the best games of their respective careers on the same day. Pagano's ever-changing front abused new Chiefs center Ryan Lilja at various points.
"The mindset was, we're going to do us, be aggressive – attack, attack, attack," said Weddle, who has intercepted Cassel four times in their past three meetings. "
That's what we're talking about – an active, dictating defense that makes a difference.

Re: Sunday Commentary - 9/12/04
Well, i've finished Far Cry and Doom3
Far Cry.Very inovative, specialy the ability to have almost 100% freedom of movements
Beautifuly designed outdoors scenery, very good balanced interiors
I disagree with the AI bit.Sometimes is John Rambo style mayhem.Shoot at everithing that moves.Don't bread, they will hear you.The mercks will charge you in mass (do like the concept of the team work they got on the merks though)
Trigen are the stuff of nightmare.You need to get almost 1 billion rounds on them (and this is the beginning on Three House) as things advance, it gets harder and harder
And the most disapointing part for me: The ending of the game. I don't know about you guys, but when i did finish the game, it let me, well, flat.I was hopping for something more ...erm...spectacular.Oh well, you can't have everithing
Doom3.Carmak engine.Smooth and functional.Not the best play experience ever, but still extremely enjoyable
Imersive interiors, very opresive and scary.
Yes, again the AI is left wanting, but unfortenately that seems to be the ptoblem with FPS.
On the view of looking at the grapichal detail: Awsome
On gameplay: Yes it could have been better
PS-Yes, i did love the handglidder on Far Cry.That rocked
PS2-Currently playing Soldiers-Heroes of WW2, and i'm loving it

19.03.07 - By Geoffrey Ciani @ Ringside -- click here for photo gallery --
Undefeated middleweight John Duddy continued his winning ways Friday night when he won a technical decision against Anthony Bonsante. An accidental clash of heads in round two caused a very bad cut near Bonsantes scalp which increasingly bled with each passing round until the fight was halted before the tenth round. As a result, the fight went to the scorecards where all three judges had Duddy winning, 90-81, 89-82, and 88-83.
I scored the bout 89-82 in favor of Duddy, and although he was the clear-cut winner, this fight appeared to be more difficult for him than most anticipated. Duddy is your typical offensive-minded fighter. He likes throwing punches in bunches and he does so with mean intentions. He likes getting his punches off first, is willing to take a few punches to get one in of his own, and is capable of throwing punches from a wide variety of angles. Offense is clearly his forte.
Defense, on the other hand, is a completely different matter. To be fair, its not as if Duddy abandons the concept altogether but its certainly not his top priority. Simply put, Duddy eats a lot of punches. Worse yet, he seemed to get caught flush an awful lot on Friday night. There were several occasions when Duddy was unexpectedly nailed by a Bonsante haymaker. To his credit, he was taking the punches well despite being momentarily stopped in his tracks after initial impact.
Whenever Duddy did get caught flush he would respond almost immediately. In many ways, he reminded me of an Irish version of a young Erik Morales. If you land a solid shot against Duddy, one must be prepared for the inevitable return-fire. Oftentimes, Duddy would punish Bonsante for daring to land anything solid. Of course, this usually didnt bode well for Bonsantes cut, which was clearly obstructing his vision more and more as the bout progressed.
Duddys offensive-mindedness and warrior-like mentality make for a very exciting fighter. The Madison Square Garden Theatre, which was not surprisingly filled with a pro-Irish crowd, erupted in excitement whenever Duddy landed a punch. Likewise, they collectively gasped whenever he got hit. Duddy literally had the crowd on their edge of their seats from the opening bell until the aftermath of the verdict. The bond between a fighter and his fans, often defined by nationalism, is one the most compelling between a fan and participant in all of sports. Some fans live and die with the fighters they cheer for, and John Duddy personifies such a fighter
This victory paves the way for a potential showdown against fellow undefeated middleweight, Giovanni Lorenzo. Lorenzo was featured on the under card Friday night, and was impressive in victory, stopping overmatched Robert Kamya in the third round. A fight between against Lorenzo should give us a better idea of where Duddy stands amongst middleweight contenders. A victory over Lorenzo should bring Duddy one step closer to a title fight against middleweight champion, Jermain Taylor.
Given that Duddy is an exciting, young, marketable fighter, it seems almost inevitable that he will eventually get a crack at Taylor. In fact, I think this fight might be closer than most think. Unfortunately for Duddy, I think hes rapidly approaching his talent ceiling; Im not sure hell ever be good enough to compete on the level of Taylor. Time will tell.

Recent Gladwin Reviews
This was our third visit to The Barn. We've gone in spring and fall and loved it and winter was full of different fun and activities. Our sons and grandchildren spent a few days ice fishing and caught many large Pike and Bass. The weather was sunny and nice for our week with a few lovely snow showers. One of the things we enjoy immensely is all the wild life we see there. On this visit we saw foxes crossing the frozen lake a few times a day. And one afternoon while removing a fish from a line two Eagles circled just 15 to 20 feet above our heads hoping to get an easy meal. And one of the funnier moments that occurred...I was watching the lake and drinking coffee when I watched a jeep drive across the lake. About 25 feet behind the jeep trotted a large dog and about 25 feet behind the dog trotted a fat sheep. I'm sure there's a good story here. There are so many indoor and outdoor activities at the house that we never have a bored moment. And the house itself is lovely and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with pans, utensils and all kinds of cooking equipment. This has become one of our favorite vacation spots and we already look forward to returning.
Pictures Don't Do It Justice...
The house felt like home the moment we walked in. The pictures don't do it justice. It was bright, cheerful, and neatly decorated. It even smelled fresh and clean. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was large and well equipped. You can't beat the lake views!! The home is conveniently located. It is only a few miles to shopping, but you feel worlds away. If you are looking for a clean, cozy, and peaceful getaway... this is it! The owners are friendly and easy to work with too! We highly recommend this lakefront home and hope to be able to vacation here again. Bill and Stacy Pulaski, TN
Relaxing Getaway
We rented this property, the property next door, the pop-up camper, and the pontoon boat. We enjoyed the quiet relaxing week on Wiggins lake with the loons and swans. The two king-sized beds were perfect and the basement had lots of room for our kids. There whole family was comfortable hanging out inside but we especially enjoyed cruising around in the pontoon boat, catching a few fish, and kicking back by the fire pit for s'mores and pudgy pies. We sat by the fire on July 4th and watched fireworks all around us, why sit in traffic in town? Joe was a great host, thank you for a wonderful vacation!

Keywords: Townhome
This was a terrific house for a ski vacation. It was very close to Snowmass and the Cross Country Skiing trails at Snowmass Club. The free shuttle came right in front of the house. The house was large and accommodated our party of 7 adults. The place was stocked with supplies when we got there so we really only had to purchase food and beverages. The hot tub on the back deck was a wonderful treat at the end of the day. The owner Chuy was great to work with and kept in constant communication. My only complaint were the pillows on the beds. They were a little flat and lumpy. Some new ones would be a good improvement.
We had our annual guys trip and the house worked great for 9 guys. Everything we needed the house had. The shuttle stops right at the driveway. Hot tub was great! I will try to bring a couple families next skis season. Jesus was great and always answered my questions.
We definitely will be staying here again.
Everything was excellent. My kids and i enjoy the house and the Hot tub. We were 2 adults and 4 children. Enough place for everyone. Warm house. Beautyfull Sight of golf field covered with snow. the ownwer is very kind. And Salvador is allways ready to solve any problem. Sorry for my poorbenglish i am spanish speaker. We enjoyed a lot imhope to be back next year.
We recently stayed at this house over spring break with 5 kids, ranging from 6 to 15, and 4 adults. The house was well organized, with clear instructions and amenities. The kitchen area was modern, roomy and equipped with everything necessary for full range of cooking. The house had all of the small items one would normally need in a house, such as laundry room, tools, etc. The fireplace was used constantly and the kids really enjoyed the jacuzzi on the back porch facing the golf course. It had a great view. Regarding the rooms, there was plenty of space for everyone to sleep comfortably and each one had a TV. The view from the back and master bedroom were nice! Also, the kids really liked being able to sled down the golf course hill right out the back door! We were able to watch them from inside the house! The house is located within 3 minutes or so of the Two Creeks high speed quad chair, and has constant bus service right out front. The snowmass club was right down the street, and had a restaurant and bar, just in case it was needed. The airport is located 10 minutes away. At the snowmass village town, there were plenty of restaurants and places to rent equipment. All in all, it was a perfect place to stay for a vacation in snowmass. I would definitely recommend it to others.
What an amazing vacation!! The pictures does this home no justice! This house was very spacious and accomodating. The kitchen was fully stocked and had the latest appliances. The location was perfect, the shuttle came every 12-15 minutes to the end of the driveway to pick us up. We were suprised by the hide-a-way upstairs :) that could have accomodated more guests! Outside of the home being beautiful the owners were just fabulous to work with. We will definately be going back and plan to stay here again!
Nice, quiet location with a lovely view of the golf course and mountains beyond. Convenient 5-10 minute bus ride to Two Creeks lift with pickup/drop off at the driveway! Main floor plan is great with a nice large kitchen in the center and the den/TV area on one side and dining room + living room on the other. Also has a large closet area for boots, outdoor clothing, etc. Price is reasonable for the ample amount of space.

Pune: Chanting God's name is good for your heart is the claim of a recently published research study by a city-based cardiac surgeon along with a geopathologist, who conducted a research study on 30 healthy patients monitoring heart rate, blood pressure etc using electrocardiography and other equipment.The researchers, former head of cardiac surgery department at Sassoon General Hospital, Dr Avinash Inamdar, along with geopathologist Pandit Pramod Joshi, conducted a study on 30 healthy patients monitoring their heart rate, blood pressure and energy levels of the heart 'chakra'. The team documented that the heart parameters showed a significant improvement when comparing the results of the tests carried out before and after the chanting that continued for ten minutes.
Meanwhile, when asked, other city cardiologists said that while they wouldn't say that only chanting God's name would lead to such an effect on stabilising heart rate but any form of meditation is known to have bettered heart rates and have positive outcome if done on a long term basis.Dr CN Makhale, head of cardiac cathlab at Ruby Hall Clinic said that such activities help in the control of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) which regulates the functions of our internal organs (the viscera) such as the heart, stomach and intestines.
"The ANS is part of the peripheral nervous system and it also controls some of the muscles within the body. We are often unaware of the ANS because it functions involuntary and reflexively. For example, during a bad dream, a person gets palpitations. Similarly, by concentrating on a single object associated with a positive feeling can lead to temporary betterment of parameters like control over heart rate, blood pressure. But for any real result, one must have a long term study."
Agreed cardiologist Dr Rahul Patil that when a person concentrates on a single point and makes mind free of all clutter it leads to reduction of stress which in turn leads to a control over heart rate. "I don't believe that only God's name will bring this effect but it could be any form of deep meditation," he said.Meanwhile, in the current study published in the Asiatic Journal of Complementary and Alternative Medicine, researchers agreed that sample size was small and pilot scale project is expected to be run on a larger clinical trial in the coming months to explore the role of chanting Vitthal on both healthy as well as cardiac patients.
"The set of tests using echocardiograms, biofield viewer and electro scanning were done before and after the individuals chanted Vitthal continuously for 9 minutes in a quiet room. The results showed an average improvement of 20 percent in the heart energy level of the heart chakra. This change showed that the chanting frequencies did affect the heart functioning that too in a positive manner," said Inamdar.
He added that though the normal heart rates were between 70 to 80, half the patients in the study had a hyper heart rate of above 85 which was not healthy. A stabilization in the heart rate and pulse was observed after the chanting.In an attempt to bring science and spirituality together, Joshi used vedic scriptures and ayurvedic knowledge in the study. He said, "We were majorly inspired by the warkaris who walk kilometres chanting Vitthal mantra."

Lewis Hamilton wins Hungarian GP from pole start
BUDAPEST, Hungary Lewis Hamilton won the Hungarian Grand Prix from pole position on Sunday for his first victory of a frustrating season and a record-tying fourth triumph on the Hungaroring circuit.
Kimi Raikkonen was second after holding off a strong late challenge from Sebastian Vettel, who was third ahead of Red Bull teammate Mark Webber.
Hamilton's first year with Mercedes has been tricky, and he came into the race with low expectations of victory despite securing his fourth pole this season and his third in a row.
"This is probably one of the most important Grand Prix wins of my career," Hamilton said after equaling Michael Schumacher's record of four victories here. "I hope there are many more to come."
Hamilton managed his tires wisely to get his 22nd GP win and the first since the United States GP last November. Prior to Hungary, he had been third three times.
"We were on the back foot when we came in, I wasn't even expecting to be on pole," said Hamilton, who also won from pole in Hungary last year. "Four wins, that's incredible. I love it here."
Hamilton remains fourth overall but is likely too far behind to mount a serious title challenge as the season takes its mid-season summer break.
Leader Vettel has 172 points, 38 clear of Raikkonen and 39 ahead of Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso. Hamilton has 124, some 48 points adrift of Vettel.
"I hope today is the first step in (catching up) but we have a lot of races coming up," Hamilton said. "I remember the first time I won, it was an exceptional feeling. Today it was a really calming feeling when I came over the line."
The next race is the Belgian GP on Aug. 25.
After he won, Hamilton kissed his Mercedes and then hugged team boss Ross Brawn. When he raised the winner's trophy, he looked emotional as he pointed to members of his team to share the moment with them.
"The guys have just been phenomenal all year," Hamilton said. "I feel like I really earned my keep today."
During the race, the British driver was in no mood for compromise, however, barking back at an engineer over the race radio, "Hey man, I'm trying to drive here. I'm happy with the way the car is," when he received some late advice.
Teammate Nico Rosberg had to abandon right near the end with flames billowing from the back of his car. He was unhurt.
Vettel has four wins overall, having won at the German GP three weeks ago.
"The start was difficult and when Lewis pulled in we thought we could do it on the softs," said Vettel, who has never won in Hungary. "I damaged my front wing which did not help. We wanted a little bit more today."
He tried desperately to get past Raikkonen and they almost collided on the penultimate lap as the Finn blocked his move.
"I had no doubt that I could keep him out," Raikkonen said.

Suspect In Nebraska Gay Pride Flag Arson Case Heads To Trial: VIDEO
A Nebraska man arrested on suspicion of taking his neighbor's pride flag off their front porch and burning it is officially headed to trial reports wowt.com. Cameron Mayfield attended a preliminary hearing with his defense attorney, James Martin Davis, in a Douglas County court room Wednesday morning.
Davis asked that his client's felony charge be reduced to a misdemeanor charge, arguing Mayfield didn't know the couple is gay and doesn't know that rainbow flags symbolize the gay community. The prosecution objected, arguing that the rainbow flag has symbolized the gay community for more than 40 years; the judge rejected Davis' request, noting that a hearing is to establish probable cause to a crime, not to ascertain guilt or innocence.
Mayfield now faces a felony arson charge and hate crime and is headed to trial at a later date. Omaha Police Department Burglary Detective Chad Simmons noted in his testimony that the Mayfield family had a sign posted in their yard that read "Protect Traditional Marriage" six months before the crime occurred.
The couple, Ariann Anderson and Jessica Meadows, filed a Harassment Protection Order against Mayfield after the incident; the court granted their request. The couple filed the order after police detectives informed the couple that Mayfield was making "delusional claims about stalking." At the time of the incident Mayfield's father told detectives that his son had recently lost his job and was drinking leading up to the incident. The couple has since replaced the flag and announced that they plan to marry again in their home state after a federal judge struck down the state's same-sex marriage ban.
After the hearing, Mayfield issued an apology on-air to the couple saying that it was a prank and that he doesn't "hate anybody or anything." The couple feels quite differently.
Said Ariann Anderson:
"Regarding Mr. Mayfield's comments: a prank is defined as a 'trick of an amusing or playful nature.' Mr. Mayfield's actions were neither amusing or playful. The events that night were frightening, especially considering that we have small children at home."
Watch Mayfield's on-air apology, AFTER THE JUMP...

A listing price for the house at 507 S. Elm Street in Creston — being constructed by Union County Development Association (UCDA) and Southwestern Community College — was announced last week.
Wayne Pantini, executive director of UCDA, said the 982-square-foot home lists at $109,195. The house has two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a large laundry room on the first floor.
"I'm planning a realtor's open house for May 23," Pantini said. "The house will be completely done by that date and ready to show."
Pantini said the house has an unfinished basement, but an egress window has been installed to allow the buyer to add a third bedroom in the future, if desired.
There is no garage.
Pantini said nine Creston realtors are participating in the sale of this home. They include Monday Realty, Ellis-Poore Realty, Callahan Realty, Stewart Realty, R Realty, Paul Eckhoff Realty, Green Valley Realty, Hometown Realty and Carter Agency.
Prospective buyers can view the house by contacting the above realtors or by calling Pantini at (641) 782-2003.
Pantini mentioned the house may also be viewed during the Parade of Homes tour slated 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 28.
Pantini said UCDA plans to continue to invest in that corridor of the city. Another home is planned for the corner of Elm and Monroe streets. The foundation for that home is currently being completed by SWCC students.

The pilgrimage to the 3,880 metre high cave shrine of Amarnath in south Kashmir Himalayas on Saturday resumed from Pahalgam route after it remained suspended for two days due to inclement weather.
"The yatra has been resumed from traditional Pahalgam route this morning with more than 4,000 pilgrims heading towards the cave shrine," an official said.
The pilgrimage from the Pahalgam route had been suspended since Thursday as a precautionary measure after heavy rains lashed the area.

In a globalized and economically dynamic world, HR technology is proving to be the game-changer for many corporations across the world. It is to capture the rising HR technology trends that People Matters organized the TechHR Conference 2014, India's first coalescence of Human Resources (HR) and Technology leaders on August 22, 2014 in Gurgaon.
People Matters is a 360 degree knowledge and media platform in the Human Resources space, brought together leading lights from the worlds of HR and technology for a one-of-its-kind conclave in India. Over 65 speakers and moderators kept the over 550-delegate and audience – mostly CHROs, CEOs, CIOs and CXOs – constantly engaged during the 22 fast-paced and interactive sessions.
Smarter Workforce, IBM, Ester Martinez : Founder & Editor-in-Chief, People Matters" />The TechHR Conference 2014 title, Futurism for the Workplace, incorporated the avant-garde concept of Futurism – which means breaking away from tradition and embracing ideas that seem ahead of their time.
"TechHR Conference is all about looking ahead and staying abreast with the evolving and deepening relationship between HR and Technology. CHROs today face the challenge of keeping pace with the rapid changes in technology. A deeper understanding of how technology can deliver significant efficiencies to the HR domain. How HR can contribution to business agility. On the other hand HR Technology service providers want to better understand the needs of the HR business – which also change as new generations enter the workforce. TechHR Conference provides the perfect platform where all this, and more, comes together!" says Esther Martinez, CEO and Editor-in-Chief, People Matters.
A specially developed App created a social community where delegates could communicate with the speakers, and with each other, share their views, participate in crowd-sourced polls and connect with popular social media. Delegates experienced the power and excitement of gamification when they earned points every time they engaged with the TechHR community. The prizes were exciting enough to keep everyone's fingers continuously working. The true power of technology in action!
Rudy Karsan, GM, Kenexa and Smarter Workforce, IBM, says, "Technology is a way of life in the business world and the personal world. At this point in time, the three technologies influencing HR are social, SaaS and Big Data. The ability to interact with one another in the real time is something going to become a massive wave that will affect the way individuals and enterprises will communicate with one another and therefore it will affect HR."
Madan Nagaldinne, Head of HR, APAC, Facebook, who spoke at the conference says,
The Business Agenda consisted of incisive presentations, interactive discussions, highly participative group sessions and a CHRO Round Table. Bistro Sessions allowed delegates to mix around and join several groups during the same session.
Sameer Patel, GM/SVP, Products and GTM, Enterprise Social & Collaborative Software, SAP Cloud/Successfactors, says, "Coming from the US, it was a big learning experience for me. HR needs technology. There is a huge disconnect in the organizations today between strategy and execution, goals and getting the work done. While we put a lot of emphasis on technology to collect and monitor those, we do not have a very good hand over how the work gets done or influence how the work is done. I think HR needs the second layer of technology, which moves from identifying those measurables, to be able to really influence and execute technologies down into the lines of business."
From the high level of participation it was evident that the topics discussed were close to everyone's heart. While the merits of technology in the HR domain were amply clear, several moral, financial and human aspects of this partnership also emerged.
An exciting highlight of the event was the Big Debate. Six acclaimed leaders battled it out arguing about "Who Needs Who – HR needs Tech or Tech needs HR". The winning team – Ashok Sethi, Sr. VP, People and Internal Operations, Sapient, Abhijit Bhaduri, CLO, Wipro Group and Anuranjita Kumar, MD & CHRO, Citi South Asia – was determined by the audience through a poll on the mobile app!
Frank Ricciardi, Vice President and General Manager, Asia-Pacific at Cornerstone OnDemand, "Work is changing and will continue to change. What, where, when and how we do the jobs is changing because of technology. We need to move away from process and automation and embrace consumerization in the enterprise."
Debjani Ghosh, Vice President, Sales and Marketing Group, Managing Director, South Asia, Intel Corporation who also spoke at the event says, "This year, the number one challenge that has been consistent across the globe is human resources… To have meaningful discussions with business, HR needs analytics to measure every aspect of people management. Technology does not take HR a level up, but transforms it."

2006 BMW 530xi Problems
A creak or squeak can be heard from the top of the front or rear doors. This noise is most noticeable when the windows are fully up. The noise is caused by the decay of the flocking material on the door seals. New door seals, Teflon tape, special lube, or a combination of all of these may be needed to eliminate the noise.
If the brakes are squealing, there's a good chance it is the brake pad wear sensor. A new design was implemented in January 2006 and can be identified by its green color.
2006 BMW 530xi Questions
My sons 2006 530xit wgn needed a new battery; when he managed to get access to the battery, he detected the compartment was full of water (obviously from the previous rains); we are told these particular models are known (not to us) for this manufacturing defect. Any solutions? Recall? He now ha...
it is running rough and the service engine soon light came on
warms up. The vibration starts like just an uneven, bumpy rd. then the further you go it gets worse and worse till it will hardly run. Now, after the car cools off it runs great until it gets hot again!
2006 BMW 530xi Recalls
The front passenger seat contains a mat that determines the presence and size of a seat occupant. This input to the airbag controller helps to determine if and how forcefully the passenger airbag should deploy in the event of a crash. The detection mat can develop cracks and fail. If this were to occur, the airbag would not deploy as expected, increasing the risk of personal injury. Dealers will repair the occupant detection mat to eliminate the possibility it may crack. Additionally certain vehicles will receive and extended warranty on the front passenger seat occupant detection mat.
The insulated connector for the positive battery cable may have been incorrectly attached to the trunk floor panel, which can lead to a loosening of the bolt connection. Loosening of the connection can cause an increase in electrical resistance and overheating of the cable connection, which could lead to a fire, even when the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been completed. Dealers will secure the battery bolt cable connection as necessary to correct this concern.
The lower rubber mount for the rear shock absorber may not have been manufactured properly and may not adhere to the housing. If it separates, the driver will experience impaired handling and control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the rear shock absorber. The recall began September 13, 2006.
2006 BMW 530xi Reviews
i think there are problems with the cooling fan system and BMW is covering it up.
Purchased used New Year's Eve 2012. What an unbelievable automobile! I've never driven anything like it, such an intelligent vehicle.
I am on my third Bmw wagon and loved them all. Now at 130,000 miles the front differential has exploded and parts are hard to find. The AWD system may be the undoing of the old reliable wagons. The rear tail lights are a constant error message and the typical junk radiator at 100,000 miles. I think simple is better and the technology of AWD is a costly repair.

Location theory
Location theory is concerned with the geographic location of economic activity; it has become an integral part of economic geography, regional science, and spatial economics. Location theory addresses questions of what economic activities are located where and why. Location theory rests—like microeconomic theory generally—on the assumption that agents act in their own self-interest. Firms thus choose locations that maximize their profits and individuals choose locations that maximize their utility.
While others should get some credit for earlier work (e.g., Richard Cantillon, Etienne Bonnot de Condillac, David Hume, Sir James D. Steuart, and David Ricardo), it was not until the publication of Johann Heinrich von Thünen's first volume of Der Isolierte Staat in 1826 that location theory can be said to have really gotten underway.[1][2] Indeed, the prominent regional scientist Walter Isard has called von Thünen "the father of location theorists."[3] In Der Isolierte Staat, von Thünen notes that the costs of transporting goods consumes some of Ricardo's economic rent. He notes that because these transportation costs and, of course, economic rents, vary across goods, different land uses and use intensities will result with increased distance from the marketplace. However, the discussion was criticized since Johann Heinrich von Thünen oversimplified the problem with his assumptions of, for example, isolated states or single cities.[4]
Tord Palander (1935) wrote: Market area division of two competing firms.[5]
A German hegemony of sorts seems to have taken hold in location theory from the time of von Thünen through to Walter Christaller's 1933 book Die Zentralen Orte in Sűddeutschland, which formulated much of what is now understood as central place theory. An especially notable contribution was made by Alfred Weber, who published Über den Standort der Industrien in 1909.[6] Working from a model akin to a physical frame adapted from some ideas by Pierre Varignon (a Varignon frame), Weber applies freight rates of resources and finished goods, along with the finished good's production function, to develop an algorithm that identifies the optimal location for manufacturing plant. He also introduces distortions induced by labor and both agglomerative and deglomerative forces. Weber then discusses groupings of production units, anticipating Lösch's market areas.
Carl Wilhelm Friedrich Launhardt conceived much of that for which Alfred Weber received credit, prior to Weber's work. Moreover, his contributions are surprisingly more modern in their analytical content than are Weber's. This suggests that Launhardt was ahead of his time and not readily understood by many of his contemporaries. Whether Weber was familiar with Launhardt's publications remains unclear. Weber was most certainly influenced by others, most notably Wilhelm Roscher and Albert Schäffle, who seem likely to have read Launhardt's work. Regardless, location theoretical thought blossomed only after Weber's book was published.
Other uses[edit]
Location theory has also been used outside of economics, for example in conservation biology, where it can help to find areas that would be good to study, taking into account previous studies.[7]
