[6] Wheel Well: The well is named for the "high-tech" wheel, a marvel that made fetching water easier. Most of the Old Town's buildings are truly old, dating from the 15th- and 16th-century boom-time. Decrepit before the 1991 fall of the USSR, Tallinn is now more affluent and has been quickly revitalized.
• Turn left on Rüütli street and walk two blocks to...
[7] St. Nicholas' (Niguliste) Church: This 13th-century Gothic church-turned-art-museum served the German merchants and knights that lived in this neighborhood 500 years ago. The Russians bombed it in World War II: In one terrible night, on March 9, 1944, Tallinn was hit, and the area around this church—once a charming district, dense with medieval buildings—was flattened (35 kr, Wed–Sun 10:00–17:00, closed Mon–Tue; organ concerts Sat and Sun at 16:00).
• From the church, turn right and climb the steep, cobbled, Lühike jalg ("Short Leg Lane"). It's lined with quality Estonian craft shops. At the gate, notice the original oak door, one of two gates through the wall separating the two cities. This passage is still the ritual meeting point of the mayor and prime minister whenever there is an important agreement between town and country. Don't go through the gate, but continue straight into the view courtyard. Then climb right toward the Russian Cathedral for a good view of the wall.
[8] Danish King's Garden: Stand in the former garden of the Danish king. The imposing city wall once had 46 towers—the stout, round tower way ahead is nicknamed "Kiek in de Kök." (While fun to say, it means "Peek in the Kitchen.") It was situated so that "peek" is exactly what guards could do. (It's now a small museum with cannons.)
Tallinn is famous among Danes as the birthplace of their flag. According to legend, the Danes were losing a battle here. Suddenly, a white cross fell from heaven and landed in a pool of blood. The Danes were inspired and went on to win. To this day, their flag is a white cross on a red background.
• Walk to the entrance of the onion-domed Russian Cathedral facing the pink palace.
[9] Russian Cathedral and Toompea Castle: The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral was built here in 1900 over the supposed grave of a legendary Estonian hero—Kalevipoeg. While it's a beautiful building, most Estonians don't like this church. Built to face the national parliament, it was a crass attempt to flex Russian cultural muscles during a period of Estonian national revival. Step inside for a whiff of Russian Orthodoxy; about a third of Tallinn's population is ethnic Russian (church free and open daily 8:00–19:00).
Cross the street to the pink palace—an 18th-century addition that Russia built onto the Toompea Castle. Today, it's the Estonian Parliament building, flying the Estonian flag—the flag of both the first (1918–1940) and second (1991–present) Estonian republics. (Locals say they were always independent...just occupied—first by the Soviets, then by the Nazis, and then again by the USSR.) Notice the Estonian seal: three lions for three great battles in Estonian history, and oak leaves for strength and stubbornness. Ancient pagan Estonians, who believed spirits lived in oak trees, would walk through forests of oak to toughen up. (To this day, Estonian cemeteries are in forests. Keeping some of their pagan sensibilities, they believe the spirits of their departed loved ones live on in the trees.)
• Step left across the parking lot, around the palace, and into the park to see the...

What is this?
What is this? It might look different because the light was of and didn't want to mess-up the cycle.
Just so you know, I'm not talking about the LR. The algae stuff on it is what I need to know about.
Looks like nuisance hair algae. Mexican turbo snails will help eat through it. Look for the source like high trates, trites or phosphates and eliminate the source.

When we first tried to post this, the web site kept coming up as "not working" -- Kinda like the movie itself?? Come back later to see if they fix whatever the problem is...with the site, not the movie. At this point, it's too late to fix the movie!
Just in case, here's the LINK we had that didn't work 48 hours before the HOODWINKED, TOO's opening day...

the perfect tank
im am soon to get a 55 gallon aquarium and i was wondering if n e one could tell me the best occupents to have, fish and invertebrets. thxies.
Were it me, I would want small schooling, community fish that got along with each other. You can always google search any fish you are interested in and look to see what their water requirements are and suggested tankmates. Only you can decide what you want. I would steer clear of large or aggressive fish as this will limit other choices you may want in the future. :D
Personally I like tetras, platys, guppies, rasboras, cory catfish, etc. as they all able to get along in a community and there are lots of colorful options. Finish things off with a center piece fish or two and you'll have a nice tank I think.
personally,i'd say go to the fish store,and take a good look around,
take a pencil and paper with you,
write down the fish that really look nice to you,
then post your list on here,and i'm sure members will be able
to guide you in the best direction.
or forget having inverts,and go for a nice group of mixed

This view shows enzymes only for those organisms listed below, in the list of taxa known to possess the pathway. If an enzyme name is shown in bold, there is experimental evidence for this enzymatic activity.
|Degradation/Utilization/Assimilation → Aldehyde Degradation
|Detoxification → Methylglyoxal Detoxification
Some taxa known to possess this pathway include : Escherichia coli K-12 substr. MG1655
Expected Taxonomic Range:
General Background
Methylglyoxal is produced in small amounts during glycolysis (via glycerone phosphate), fatty acid metabolism (via acetone), and protein metabolism (via aminoacetone). Methylglyoxal is highly toxic, most likely as a result of its interaction with protein side chains (see [Kalapos99] for a review). There are several pathways for the detoxification of methylglyoxal, based on different enzymes that are able to convert methylglyoxal to less toxic compounds. These enzymes include glyoxalase enzymes, methylglyoxal reductases, aldose reductases, aldehyde reductases and methylglyoxal dehydrogenases.
About This Pathway
In this pathway, which has been characterized in Escherichia coli K-12, methylglyoxal is reduced to lactaldehyde by the enzyme methylglyoxal reductase [Saikusa87]. (S)-lactaldehyde is then reduced to (S)-lactate which is finally converted to pyruvate and joins the pool of central metobolites [Murata89].
Methylglyoxal reductases have been characterized in bacteria [Saikusa87] and fungi [Murata85, Inoue88a]. Some of the enzymes are NADP-linked, while others are NAD-linked. Two variants of this pathway have been entered in MetaCyc to reflect the different biochemistry of the last enzyme, L-lactate dehydrogenase. The Escherichia coli K-12 enzyme encoded by gene lldD uses an unidentified electron acceptor (see methylglyoxal degradation IV), while the Saccharomyces cerevisiae enzyme uses an an oxidized c-type cytochrome (see methylglyoxal degradation V).
methylglyoxal degradation VI is a similar pathway based on methylglyoxal reductases that are specific for the D form of lactaldehyde.
Superpathways: superpathway of methylglyoxal degradation
Subpathways: L-lactaldehyde degradation (aerobic)
Variants: methylglyoxal degradation I, methylglyoxal degradation II, methylglyoxal degradation III, methylglyoxal degradation V, methylglyoxal degradation VI, methylglyoxal degradation VII, methylglyoxal degradation VIII

We had to laugh at Matthew Collins's blog post on Sunday showing up an English Defence League supporter's inability to spell "Britain". The unfortunate man, who Collins said was photographed on an EDL demo on Saturday, had no neck, a day's stubble all over his head and face and a tattoo featuring a Union Jack above the word "Britian". Earlier that evening Collins had poked fun at an EDL flag that included the question: "What happend [sic] to free speech?"
The irony of it was that I used to subedit Collins's copy for Searchlight. All I will say is what you read in the magazine under his name often bore little resemblance to what I received.
I don't know who subedits his blog now, but the job isn't done very well, judging by last Thursday's story [*] about "the tiny far-right group Britian [sic] First" and a picture caption three weeks ago referencing the same "Britian First" group. A word of advice to Collins: don't get any new tattoos done.
Mind you, I don't condemn people for an inability to spell. If a child emerges after 11 or so years of schooling and cannot spell or construct grammatically correct sentences, that's more a criticism of the education system than of the child. And one doesn't know what family and personal circumstances might have made it hard for an individual to access education fully or whether they are dyslexic, as are at least two of Collins's colleagues.
Of late Collins and his sidekick Simon Cressy have been reproducing extract after extract from EDL supporters' Facebook pages, sometimes accompanied by a comment to the effect that social media are the best source of intelligence. I wonder if it has ever occurred to them that some of the people whose Facebook pages they spend so much time scrutinising might be writing for effect, with the express intention that their remarks be monitored.
I'm not denying that Facebook can be a source of intelligence but not on its own and not by accepting everything on there at face value (pun intended).
Their comprehensive monitoring of Facebook might however be appreciated from one quarter: the police, to whom they proudly and frequently boast they pass on any remark that does not meet their approval.
Pictures too can be misleading at times. On 3 October Cressy posted a photo of Steve McEllenborough, an English Democrats activist in Liverpool, wearing Second World War American army uniform posing in front of a portrait of Hitler. Cressy commented: "Before his time in the English Democrats, McEllenborough was a BNP activist and candidate which might go some way to explain his political leanings."
If Cressy had bothered to find out he would have known that the photo was taken at an airsoft game area, McEllenborough was celebrating beating the "German team" and they were raising money for the charity Help the Heroes. But why let the facts get in the way of a good story? Distortion is much easier than obtaining genuine intelligence and analysing it.
[* Collins has now corrected this error – SG 31.10.2012]

The NSW Greens have given notice that they will be moving to lift the ban on selling X18+ pornography in NSW. Greens MLC and Federal Senate candidate for NSW, Lee Rhiannon (pictured) has flagged her intention to push to have the ban lifted when Parliament sits next month.
ACL is strongly opposed to any attempt to lift the current ban. ACL today cautioned against lifting the ban and said the Little Children Are Sacred report into child abuse in the Northern Territory demonstrated why the ban was needed.
NSW doesn't need this destructive material. We have already seen the sort of devastation hardcore porn has wrought on communities in the Northern Territory. Its ability to destroy children's lives was one of the key reasons for the Australian Government's intervention in the Northern Territory.
When launching the Intervention, the previous Federal Government reasoned that, "The Little Children are Sacred report revealed that the availability of pornography in Indigenous communities is a factor that contributes to child sexual abuse in those communities, being used to groom children for sex, and normalising inappropriate sexualised and violent behaviour in children".
The report into child abuse in the Northern Territory demonstrated a clear link between the availability of hardcore pornography and child abuse. It is discriminatory to suggest that the children and families of NSW are somehow immune from the consequences of easily-available porn.
NSW Attorney-General, John Hatzistergos recently told Parliament that any move to lift the ban contravened the NSW Greens' policy on women. "I have read the Greens policy on women, which is clearly against pornography that 'discriminates against women by presenting them as suitable objects for violent or sexual exploitation'." Mr Hatzistergos suggested that Ms Rhiannon should reacquaint herself with the NSW Greens' policy on women.
Mr Hatzistergos said selling hardcore pornography in NSW was illegal because "the community and their representatives want to minimise the opportunity for it to be distributed in this State."

Does anyone know what is the passing cut-off marks and is it for each section?
Also is the passing criteria a relative measure?
Can anyone let me know about which calculator we require for CFA ?
What additional functionality will this calculator provide?
PS: I intend to appear for L1 only, so I won't be using it after this exam.
Hey Puys,
Wow its been a while since I posted here, 4 years to be precise :)
I am planning to apply to Harvard in 2011. Gave GMAT in 2009 and scored a 730. Havent really researched much on the kind of colleges I may go for, but have a pretty good clarity on the profile I want to look at. Am particularly interested in strategy consulting, with expertise in the Banking & Financial Services domain, thus looking at MBA(Fin) as specialization.
Here's a small brief on my background:
Work Experience: will complete 4.5 years next year (around the time I apply) in a reputed US-based HR Consulting Organization, with most consulting experience in the Banking & Financial Services domain
Education: MBA (HR) from MDI Gurgaon (CGPA: 6.4, passed out in 2006)
CFA Level 3 candidate (Should be giving the exam in June 2011)
Grad - BE (Electronics & Comm)- 68%
Extra-Curricular: Secretary- Alumni Committee (MDI), Have been a part of numerous sports activities (both as a participant & part of the planning team)
Decent contribution towards social/charitable activities: Voluntary member (in capacity of a counsellor) for NACO since 2008.
Kindly apprise me of the suitability of my profile towards application to the top 10 B- schools globally. Thanks!
No, all sections don't require CFA calc. Many subjects r theory. Yeah but quant needs use of calc. Calculation part in L1 is less (around 30% or so). Major part emphasis on understanding of concepts.
I hope this wud help:)
Can anyone let me know for which all sections do we need the calculator?I am planning to start with quants section so do I need a calci for that section?

Reviews by jepherz
Not worth itjepherz | July 17, 2014 | Review of Gun Monkeys - PC
This is basically a 1v1 versus game, no single player mode just to be clear. The game is pretty bland and will get boring very fast. There is also a leveling system which potentially makes the game even worse. When you win matches you get money to upgrade your character giving you an edge over others. Maybe that feature was supposed to make the game more interesting too but I don't think that's enough. I really like the art style of this game though and think it would have been a great coop adventure game if they had made it to be one.
Great puzzle co-opjepherz | July 15, 2014 | Review of Lara Croft And The Guardian of Light - PC
I bought this a long time ago on the xbox 360 arcade to play with some friends and had lots of fun with it. Do note though that this isn't like the normal Lara Croft games where you are third person. You move around a 3D map with a bird's eye view. The puzzles aren't too difficult but still takes some cooperation and problem solving which helps keeps things interesting along with some combat in between. Storyline wise though I'm not sure what's going on, I never paid attention to the story of other Lara Croft games either though. To me the game already fun and engaging regardless of how the story is and I would recommend this to anyone who loves puzzle solving or a good Coop.
Great game with a modjepherz | July 15, 2014 | Review of Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition NA - PC
I know a lot of people say this is a bad port and it is, but there is a mod that does a great job making the game bearable to play. I don't have any complaints with the graphics or controls with the mod installed. In terms of game play it's a fun but difficult game. There are tons of different weapons and spells your character can attain. The best ones are either well hidden or takes some farming and luck for it to drop. Some of the bosses are actually really hard and I have to admit I never tried too hard to defeat them alone. You can actually call on friends or other random players to come and help you out which I did. When you do this it does make the game a whole lot easier, but going alone is way too hard sometimes. It made me want to have a difficulty somewhere in between. PVP is also great in this game, my only downside here though is that there are longs of very strong people due to 2 things: The game has been out a long time so there naturally will be very geared characters, and it's probably easy to cheat and mod a character on the PC edition which I hope changes in the Dark souls 2.
Very entertaining, even more fun with friendsjepherz | June 27, 2014 | Review of Borderlands 2 Game of the Year Edition MAC - PC
I thoroughly enjoyed this game. It's a blast to play especially with friends or just random people online with up to 4 people playing together. There are tons of side quests to do and each one has it's own dialogue and personality to it which makes this more fun and interesting. It doesn't feel like those bland side quests from WOW where you just go kill X amount of mobs or w/e. There is also tons of loot to pick up. The weapon variety is pretty much endless which has pros and cons. It makes picking up loot interesting, you almost always want to see if it's an upgrade or interesting side grade, the con being it could start to get overwhelming/annoying to do after a while for some. The main story was very fun to follow through, as well as many of the side quests. Just too many for me to do them all though. I've played through 3 of the 4 DLC campaigns listed on this page and all 3 were very fun to play through though I wish some of them could have been longer. That's a problem I see with almost every DLC campaign though. Anyway, would totally recommend this game to just about anyone.
OG shooter > CoDjepherz | June 18, 2014 | Review of Counter Strike Global Offensive - PC
For those of us old enough to remember Counter Strike this game may be more fun to play. I really like this old style of play compared to Call of Duty where everyone just keeps respawning all over the place and you have to zoom to aim before shooting. I think this game has gotten a bit more popular since they've released skins into the game. It is also newbie friendly with a wide range of skill levels in the game. Match making is also really good 9/10 times, you get to play with people around your level which makes things more enjoyable. Some things I don't like though is that the community largely does not like new maps, people like to play old maps that people have been playing forever from previous Counter Strike games. And that hackers are a huge problem if you ever get to a high enough skill level to see them. Headphones and mics are almost a requirement for this game, its a tactical game unlick CoD, you have to be able to listen to where enemies are coming from accurately, regular speakers don't work as well for this. The mic is for communicating with your team, just about everyone that plays this game uses a mic. So if you enjoy tactical shooters, you can't go wrong with this game.
An amazing fighting gamejepherz | June 18, 2014 | Review of Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition - PC
There's a lot of depth to this game that you don't see or appreciate until you actually give the game a try and realize how hard it is to play and how much there is to know about the game. I was never into fighters before, but once I picked up this game I was hooked. I still don't like most other fighters though. The learning curve is steep, most games are easier to get into even though they require a lot of strategy (mobas and RTS games) where you just point the mouse and click. There's a lot of execution and timing in this game to get your character to do what you want him to do. And then you have to learn more technical stuff like frame traps and mind games as you advance to a higher level of play. I do wish that more of the characters would be brought up to par with the better members of the cast. You don't see many of the characters in serious tournament play. The PC community is also lacking for newbies as the game has been out for many years already. Overall though I have to say I really love this game, but it is hard for me to recommend it because I know many people will try and quit due to the difficult learning curve of the game. It can be very frustrating but very fun and rewarding once/if you could learn to play it.
Game is amazing!!jepherz | June 18, 2014 | Review of BioShock Infinite NA Post - PC
Graphically the game is amazing, it takes a turn from the first 2 games in the series: You are in a floating city now with lively colors compared to the dark environment from the previous games. In this game you also have a companion that stays with you along the way and plays actually plays a pretty important role in the story. Having her be your companion really makes it easy to grow attached to her and definitely deepens the emotions you feel as her story progresses. The way the game drags you along is simply phenomenal, you don't just follow along a story like most other games where everything is revealed to you. The story is deep, there's so much to think about, so many theories you could come up with for what's going on.
Loved the gamejepherz | June 18, 2014 | Review of Assassins Creed IV Black Flag NA UPLAY - PC
I actually played through the entire game, which is something I don't usually do these days. Most the time I get bored and stop playing somewhere half way, but I was hooked on this game. The storytelling and the characters in the game are amazing and really draw you in. Everything is beautifully done, the cities are lively, the views are always so nice when you climb up the towers to sync your map. The oceans are huge, the sailors on your ship sing the entire time you are sailing(you can turn that off if you find it annoying, but I enjoyed it), sometimes there are storms and huge waves. You get to explore different islands and caves, run through jungles. There's a lot to this game, so much to explore and interesting side quests if you don't want to just rush through the story. This is a game that's definitely worth picking it, I'm glad I did!

ELKHART — More details about the Martin's Super Market shootings could be released tomorrow morning.
Elkhart County Prosecutor Curtis Hill will hold a press conference regarding police involvement in the incident at 10 a.m. Thursday, March 27, at the prosecutor's office.
Curtis will make a statement, followed by a time for questions, according to a news release from his office.
The Indiana State Police forwarded its investigation into the Jan. 15 shooting to Hill's office for review March 6.
It is the Elkhart Police Department's policy to hand over any investigations of officer-involved shootings to the state police.
After the prosecutor reviews the case and any criminal proceedings have concluded, the Elkhart Police Department will conduct an internal affairs investigation.
According to state police, 20-year-old Shawn Bair entered the store on 3900 E. Bristol St. at about 9:30 p.m. Jan. 15. He walked around for about half an hour before shooting and killing 20-year-old Martin's employee Krystle Dikes and 44-year-old shopper Rachelle Godfread.
The Elkhart City 911 Dispatch Center received the first 911 call at 10:07 p.m. Elkhart police officers Cpl. Cody Skipper and Cpl. Jason Tripp, who were on an unrelated call nearby, responded within three minutes.
When they arrived, the officers found Bair holding a store manager hostage. The manager escaped when Bair was distracted by the arrival of the officers and Bair ran away down an aisle.
The officers shot and killed Bair a short time later, according to the state police.

Sorry guys, the list is completely inaccurate if you think CRT equates to academic success. It only measures certain classes. AP students are not allowed to take math CRT's... so some of the high schools with large AP Math programs are ranked lower. Davis High's math average was derived from the bottom 1/3 of the student population.

Statistically speaking, this list is misleading; especially the title is misleading, because it has used a Pass/Failed criteria to judge the academic performance in Language/Math/Science. The more adequate method would be using the median or average to rank, also they need take into consideration of the fact that AP students are not allowed to take math CRT's.

Not sure of all of the states high schools, but I see that Alpine School
District has a lot in the top 50.
Also, the article would be slightly better if it aid how many high schools there are total in Utah. Is this the top 50 of 51, or the top 50 of 500?

356 needed for photo shoot Los Angeles area.
I obtain classics for films, videos, photo shoots, etc.
I need to find a Porsche 356, for a photo shoot next week. preferebly dark such as black, dark blue, dark green. You know, something dark. One with a stripe would be great, but not mandatory. The idea is something like the car in the Russ Meyer's film "Faster Pussycat, Kill....Kill!"
OTHER COLORS MIGHT BE CONSIDERED, so if you have a red car or something similiar, go ahead and send me pictures.
The photo shoot will be off the Pearblossom Highway.
I need to get a hold of someone soon, so I can book the car for the shoot. And..yes there is pay. I don't deal with free shoots.
To give you a quick backrground of who I am:
I put on a classic car show every year called the Blessing of the Cars in Los Angeles. I have been dealing with picture vehicles for about 5 years now. What's different about us is that I am always on set with the cars I hire. I do this to make sure the cars aren't damaged, or messed with by those who don't understand the classic car world.
Some of the past shoots I've booked cars for include: N'SYNC music video, Mariah Carrie music video, AT&T commercials, MTV Becoming, Verizon ad, Nelly video, Annie Liebowitz for Vanity Fair, and more.
You can email me pictures of cars at email@example.com You can also email me there. Phone calls, anytime (day or night), are ok too.
You can forward this to anyone you think fills the bill.
Also looking for a late '50's/early '60's Triumph or MG!
Thank you very much,
Gabriel Baltierra

Based in Dubai, Intek Solutions specializes in conducting tailor-made, in-house training programs since 1996.
Your concern of appointing a Preferred Training Partner, considering mushroom growth of training companies in the region is understandable. The abundant choices must be confusing, especially with cross-cultural 'fancy pitches' around.

Let's explore, if we are indeed the 'right training partners' for you and your organization, especially if this is your first visit to Intek Solution's home page.

If you are wanting to bring about a positive change in your organization / screening several training companies of selecting the right training partner, look no more, go with Intek Solutions. Let them do the magic that you are desiring – It's a recommendation, you'll thank me, one day
I have had the pleasure of attending multiple workshops conducted by Haseeb and Zaufyshan at INTEK. They bring their own personal energy to each event and transmit it to the audience. INTEK is one of the most structured training partners I have come across. Their intent and style reflects maturity and professionalism. The trainers deep and detailed understanding/knowledge of the subjects and their ability to engage people at all levels with logical reasoning makes INTEK a unique institute which is very well respected and trust worthy within our organization. Their sessions are very creative and interactive and the out of the box thinking has helped them achieve our organizational intent for purpose built trainings. I wish them all the best for their future programs and highly recommend their programs for the organizations who are looking to create a difference with creative and focused training programs.
I have learnt that there is always a success barrier in terms of growth of every person. What I have learned from that is "Every success has a failure built in "and the few factors discussed were lack in motivation, communication, comfort zone, insecurity, and emotional aspects. The major concept was to focus on the big mountain to see yourself in a bigger picture.
Identification about what we need and the formula behind that Want + Price = Success
We learn very positively about the stress management and how to enhance our listening skills.
As promised to keep the Motivation and discipline high which will definitely help us to groom in our daily life as well as practical life? All the Quizzes were very interesting.
The workshop was very fruitful. We had a discussion on Personal attributes , professional techniques , visibility of strengths and weaknesses, decision making which were very useful to enhance the communication /interpersonal skills , time management, creativity , Analytical ability , risk taking with confidence and knowledge.
All I can say about the training is that it was really valuable and provided me time to ponder over the skills that I lack to break the success barrier that I am going to face and this type of training should continue in future as well as they have a very positive effect on the organizational behavior.
The training was definitely helpful as the trainer was able to keep the trainees interest alive and the material was relevant to the current needs.
I found the training very much fruit full in the way that it gives directions to get the best out put from me and will definitely help me in achieving my goals as well as to set them with a much more better aspect they were definitely right regarding the barriers on which 80% of the people get stuck in achieving their goals. And now I believe that with the help of this training I will not be the one to get stuck over the barrier.
I would also like to thank Haseeb and Zoufyshan the way they delivered the message through this training was awesome. I truly believe that staring from individual level, implementing all the learning's for instance 9 to 6 situations, calling situations not problems, positive approach and right perception, sandwich approach, first reaction is no reaction and last but not the least leading to unconscious competence all the way through unconscious incompetence, certainly we can do justice to ourselves and all those allied to us. I hope that these trainings will continue at regular intervals.
Some things were learned and some unlearned, to be learned in a different way. These days, I am trying consciously to overcome some of my known in-competencies. Believe me, it's very difficult but at least now I know what comes next.I have started collecting Mind-opener exercises from various sources and share them with my team to stimulate their minds and make them think out-of-the-box. Another thing which I am practicing from this workshop is to focus more on Value adding activities and stay away from time wasters (person/ activity). The most inspiring factor of this training was the 'Coin', which will always remind me to work harder towards being a balanced person.
Well these two days went up just like the blink of an eye. This training in fact was a very conscious effort on the part of the management to try to minimize the bridges between different departments & it really worked out well as we have seen the difference coming back to our respective duties .This training not only was good platform for all of us to be together but also a good chance to know each other's needs & expectations & that how we can manage our selves in the 6 & 9 situations whenever we come across in our lives.
The sandwich approach is the most helpful terminology that I have started using so frequently while conducting sessions with my team. And this training has CERTAINLY developed a good relationship and understanding between me and my fellow colleagues. I am really looking forward to more of such healthy exercises.
As far as feedback is concerned I must say that this training program was the most relevant of all. Both the trainers were completely prepared and had done their home work for the program. They were using our internal jargons very fluently. We never got the feeling that we are sitting in an alien environment and discussing just theories. I believe that there should be a series of sessions with these people, this will not only help us to get the true picture of our objective but also will provide the motivation and skill to transfer the same into our team mates.I am looking forward to get more exposure by attending such sessions.
I attended a lot of trainings arranged by the organization for us but I must say the recent training by Haseeb T. Hassan was much more beneficial as compared to the other ones. There are a lot of reasons to it but the most important thing about it was the involvement and participation of the participants, and I think it was Haseeb's art that he involved us and we got a chance to pull out our hidden abilities and also helped us to open our minds and performed in a more positive manner, so that we can coach our respective teams in a best way to retain the Dubai Quality Award.
My experience of the training helped me identify some areas which I knew existed but never knew how to get rid of them. The line that really hit me was that "The first reaction should be no reaction". I have always had this weakness of being a little more blunt than required. Then the concepts like the credibility factor, the concept of moving from unconscious incompetence to unconscious competence & above all the pyramid of life, success barriers & the best of all was the TEST OF TIME theory. There were many other things that were there to stimulate me but I believe the above mentioned will change my life.
Most importantly this training guided us the way, how to keep a balance between professional and personal life without which life become miserable and everything ends in curious. I believe each one of us contain school of thoughts hidden in us. Some of us, who are aware of these thoughts, discover them and are able to express their thoughts and ideas completely as it is said a diamond is just an ordinary stone before being chiseled and these sort of trainings provide us with platform for chiseling and grooming ourselves, so these refreshers should be held for batter prospective.
It was very motivating session and I have learnt that a lot how to motivate others also
The training by Mr. Haseeb, was excellent it opened new horizon of understanding and give us idea's and a vision as to how we can carry out our task successfully in our life as well amongst peer & work.. I suggest that we should be given such training so that we can broaden our skills.
In my opinion the Training Session was very much effective in true sense. I personally learnt a lot from that session. Following are points which we have covered.
» Self Motivation » How to set and Achieve our goals. » Team work and Co-ordination among our colleagues. » How to Develop & Grooming our selves » Pro-Active Approach and Positive Attitude. » Assess and judge yourself to know our weaknesses and Strengths. » Management Rules and How to apply them effectively. » People management » Balance between your Personal life and Professional life. » Risk taking Abilities » Importance of communication skills.
I believe that was the most effective session which I had with Intek. I request you to please continue these kinds of sessions with Intek especially.
The entire session has definitely added a lot of values, high standards, keenness and basic ethical principles in all, including my self. Beside an obvious participation of entire team, the elegance of presenting slides and providing specifics were appeared to be quite professional and sure of your self and Intek people. Likewise, the theme of this training was excellent and very advantageous especially the process of developing presentation skills.
Intek - a trusted name in the market that knows how to deliver with complete Customer satisfaction.
This Program "Sales Excellence" has led me to "Jump-Start" my personal, as well as, professional excellence action plans.
The Sales Excellence Workshop" was well organized, very concise and completely in line with our expectations and demands. It certainly was a mind opener for BASF's Sales team.
I consider such exercises very effective. The environment & the ambience created by Haseeb & Zoufyshan were great. It allowed all the participants to be very candid, open & provided everybody with a platform to be on equal footing (leave the organization levels back at the office). It refreshed & revitalized concepts of Personal management / organization, Team leading & motivation

what's this?

No, this post is not about gays in the military. It is about a dating issue. Sometimes like owning a vehicle, relationships can get totaled out in a wreck or breakdown beyond repair. When either happens, it can suddenly lead to getting by on foot or getting off by hand. Neither is a preferred method of getting to where one wants to go.
In either case, sometimes there needs to be an interim solution that may not be desirable for the long term, but still represents an upgrade in circumstances. With a vehicle, you just get to where you want to go until you find what you want, then you replace it. This is pretty easy and there are no ethical questions. After all, it isn't like the car's feelings are going to get hurt and possibly provoke it to anger.
It gets a bit more complex when we are looking at Mr. or MS. Right Now who has little or no potential for being an LTR candidate. Unfortunately, while we may enjoy the benefits of what we know to be a short term arrangement, the other person may have a different outlook and see potential for happily ever after.
What do you do then? What have you done under these circumstances?
Is it bad form to enjoy going places at the other's expense and/or enjoying sex with a partner without saying how you really feel if not asked?
Now, with all due respect, I am looking to get real, honest answers. Some people on here, especially guys, seem to give answers that women want to hear at the expense of veracity.

I think you already know the answer Wow. Put yourself in that other persons shoes. Would YOU want to be used that way ? Regardless of whether or not you have been asked what your "feelings" are you seem to know what the other persons
are and letting that other person keep going on those expectations when you KNOW it's never going to happen is just plain wrong. Not only is it wrong it's asking for a really bad way to end that relationship when that other person finds out what you were doing. As a side note ~ I'm using the term "you" loosely meaning anyone in this type of situation not "you" in particular.
Yes I have been in that situation several times. When a someone who is a friend expects there to be more. I explain gently and firmly that I just don't have those kind of feelings for that person and that as much as I wish things could be different I don't see it changing. I have several male friends who I have managed to keep as friends simply by being upfront and honest about the situation. I have also lost friends that way but I always gave them the choice to remain friends or not with ALL the facts.
Dec 28 @ 2:41PM
FB = Fuck Buddy is just that and I think its best to tell them upfront. If they have a problem with it then least your honest. I know being a girl its easier to get a fuck buddy that doesnt end up falling for ya but I have still had plenty that did. Sounds kinda mean but I tell them upfront and if they get hurt I feel it was their problem and not mine. I will say I have been with Rob for over 2 yrs now and I still have the occasional past fuck buddy trying to get with me. Watch out for the overly clingy ones
it gets annoying
Dec 28 @ 3:09PM
There are two different opinions here. From my end, they both have valid points. There is often a joker in the deck. The joker is that the libido gets turned loose by both people before the heart does, barring love at first sight.
There are a lot of variables at work like how soon did the people get randy versus how soon did the one seeing limited or no LTR potential become aware of it.
Regardless, I have known many women who screamed that they were being "used" after I ascertained it wasn't going any further after a few to several weeks. Often this happened even though we were in bed after the first date or two, often the first night. Women get really pissed when they get dumped.
Dec 28 @ 6:53PM
My policy has always been to say everything up front. More often than not that confuses people and pushes them away. It's a strange society where spin and lies are not only anticipated but expected.
However, considering the number of polyamorous circumstances or multiple partner sessions I've had, I would say my methods are far from unsuccessful.
Opinion is that every time you mislead a partner or allow them to mislead themselves you have not only failed in upholding your personal honor and excellence, but you have run the risk of creating a problem with longer lasting effects.
Dec 28 @ 7:04PM
Within one's self, there is a time to be forthright once variables become fixed and revealed.
Dec 28 @ 7:07PM
Say up front. Tell em, hey, I enjoy your company. I like being with you, but I'm not up for anything more than fun.
Dec 28 @ 7:10PM
I'm with Skwirl and B9......say it up front. Bottom line.
Dec 28 @ 7:16PM
I like being with you, but I'm not up for anything more than fun.
It is rarely that simple based upon involvement sexually on one hand early on and somebody else's unilateral premature emotional involvement on the other.

Well they were being used and you should have made it clear BEFORE you got into bed with them that is was just going to be a casual thing. There are a lot of women out there that do not have sex with someone unless they think there is relationship potential and there are a lot of guys out there who will say what those women want to hear just so they can fuck them. I am sure there are a few women out there who will do that as well but fewer by far than men.
I look at it this way, what ever you dish out to other people is going to come back to slap you in the face one of these days. Karma can be a bitch. LOL I have always made certain that people know exactly where I stand with them and have never really run into that problem except once. That person I did not have sex with but insisted on following me around like a puppy anyway. We did end up as good friends but there is no way I would have taken advantage of their feelings just because I got horny one night and wanted to get laid.
Maybe it all comes down to which brain people tend to think with when it comes to other people.
Dec 29 @ 2:31PM
Well they were being used and you should have made it clear BEFORE you got into bed with them that is was just going to be a casual thing.
Isn't it a bit difficult to make a determination on the potential and future course of a relationship after two dates? Besides if a guy is unattached and a good looking woman is not only willing but probably wanting to get naked and frolic, the perspective you suggest is not only unrealistic, but somewhat comical with all due respect. Besides, if you turned them down and/or put a limitation on it even though the jury was out on potential, they would probably get pissed and dump your ass!
Dec 29 @ 2:35PM
Besides, it has been my experience, along with others, that the preliminary report card on LTR potential comes out at around 60 days and if you hadn't had sex, the grade would be incomplete!

Well, I finished the second book in this series. Stieg Larsson is an amazing writer. This book is by definition a page turner. So many characters, locations, intricate plot twists and turns. I don't think I have liked a book this much in a long, long time. I read a great deal, so that is saying a lot.
Now comes The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest, the third book in the Millennium Trilogy. I have been reading these books on my Kindle for MAC. Considerably cheaper to purchase e-books than hard cover, also a little cheaper than soft cover.
Lisbeth Salander. Quite a character. I found myself always rooting for her. Even when she gets violet, there is always good reason for the violence. She is one tough cookie.
I found the behind the scenes glimpse into publishing a magazine very informative. Research, research, research being the key ingredient in a good story. Boy, this was a good story. Of course I had to continually refer to an on-line currency converter to to keep up with all the money references in the book.
500 Kronor = 67 US dollars
Lisbeth still amassed a fortune even in American dollars.
There was a lot of computer hacking taking place in this story. Whenever there is computer hacking going on, I wonder how difficult it is to hack into computers, whether they are personal, organizational or governmental computers. That said, I always love all the computer geeky stuff. If someone hacked into my personal computer they would find out that it isn't worth the trouble. Pretty boring stuff. Although I thought it was clever the way Lisbeth and Mikael communicated by her hacking into his computer. No email trail that way.
Throughout this whole book I had a craving to run out and get a tattoo. Actually to be truthful, throughout both books. I have been toying with the idea of getting a tattoo, but I am so darn conservative that it wouldn't fit my image. But once a girl turns 50, she does really worry about her image as much any more. Too many other worries, sagging boobs, extra poundage, wrinkles, manual dexterity going down the tubes, knees shot…need I go on?…I didn't think so.
Another little gem I can take away from the experience of reading these books…I know way more about Sweden, specifically Stockholm, than I ever thought possible.

1971 Bruins-Habs playoff classic: The Montreal mystique made the Bruins chronic under-achievers
8 comments:
The Bruins were actually underachievers - despite two cups in three seasons. This was an awesome team, but as Phil Esposito has commented, they "liked to party a little too much." They were so good that they thought they could cruise to the Cup, and when you faced teams like Montreal (whose annual goal was the Cup ...) you cannot do that.ReplyDelete
Bobby Orr was awesome in that Series in 1971. The rest of the team did not rise to Bobby's level, unfortunately. I remember him scoring the goal on Dryden from the corner and behind the goal line - remember? He swats in mid-air off the backhand from BEHIND the net from the corner and scores! Typical Orr miracle play.
The Bruins should have won in 1974, but were screwed by Art Skov's incredibly bad call on Bobby Orr with two minutes left in Game Six.
Thanks Aeneas...great memory. I remember the series well. Orr was particularly brilliant, I thought, in Game 4, but outtsnaidng, as usual, throughout. Still, he was quite harsh in discussing his own play afterwards. he wasn't the issue. Montreal played a great series themselves.ReplyDelete
And yes, the loss in '74 was another bitter disappointment for a team that should have, talent-wise, won more Cups.
Orr played well in that fatal second game...but then...all a sudden, the wheels came of his game late in the second period, and for the rest of the game!ReplyDelete
I don't get it. See for yourself!
- AnonymousJanuary 14, 2011 at 12:11 AM
I will look up the stats for the entire seven games; but in games two and seven---the biggest games of Orr's career, he was on the ice for ten of eleven Hab goals. Orr (and his team) did not play (team) defense.ReplyDelete
To the contrary, Orr played poorly in that series. If he had only played some defense, the series would not even have gone 7 games.
Yes, the coach, Tom Johnson, failed to properly prepare the Bruins for the playoffs. Yes, Ken Dryden was a factor, but not THE factor. The Bruins were "flat" in late March / early April.
Montreal scored 28 goals in those 7 games. Orr was on the ice for at least ten of those 28.
May I let the facts speak for themselves?
Thanks for the post Jerry! I don't doubt that Orr was on for a number of goals against, but I thought he, as usual, played very hard throughout.ReplyDelete
As I mentioned in the story, he was frustrated with himself after Game 7. So he knew he had not played his best hockey.
Thanks again!
IN THAT 1971 BRUIN MONTREAL PLAYOFF. IT WAS REALLY GERRY CHEEVERS WHO KILLEDReplyDelete
THAT WAS WHAT KILLED THEM..............IN 1971Replies

I don't think that the blame belongs on Cheevers. The twelve goals you speak of were eight in Montreal during the 6th game.Delete
Plainly, where the Bruins lost this series was in game two: leading 5 - 1, they surrender six (6) straight Hab goals to lose, 7 - 5. That was a GIFT by the Bruins, and it cost them dearly. Orr surrendered two takeaways, and was on the ice for all six of those goals. He did not play any defense that night. Even ordinary defensive play by him would have won the series for the Bruins. While it was a team loss, Orr was largely responsible for the game two loss.

Orr was, as LeBrun points out in "Searching for Bobby Orr" injured during that playoff series in "71, that is why his play was inconsistent, especially defensively. He wouldn't admit this, as he always took blame for the Bruins losing, but it was his left knee, which would eventually end his career prematurely, which was bothering him. Espo, also, a perennial underachiever in the playoffs, except for 1970, did not pot the big one when needed.Delete

Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly, a national news program that premiered on PBS last fall, received a $6.6 million grant for a second season. The program is sponsored by the Lilly Endowment, an Indianapolis-based foundation that is one of the nation's largest benefactors of religion research and scholarship. The series now has funding through August 1999. Information oneach week's programming can be found on www. pbs.org/wnet/religionandethics/.
# U.N. sources estimate that more than 45,000 people are displaced in the Kosovo province of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, with some 12,000 of these having fled to neighboring Albania and another 8,000 people going to the province of Montenegro. Action by Churches Together members in Albania are assessing mission needs in the area where most refugees entered the country. ACT and Norwegian Church Aid plan to give emergency assistance in both Kosovo and Montenegro and are still deciding whether an emergency appeal is needed in Albania.
# The Church of Denmark Mission is trying to get congregations in the dioceses of Funen and Aarhus involved in missionary work. Membership in both dioceses' congregations is dwindling and supported mainly by the elderly. As a result, churches are concerned with self-sufficiency and the old missionary societies have weakened. "We must realize that belonging to a congregation means that we also keep our eyes open toward the outside world," said Bishop Kresten Drejergaard at a meeting in the Diocese of Funen.
# Some 200 farmers in the Church of Denmark's Aarhus Diocese wrote a letter saying they will stay away from church when Knud Erik Laegsgaard is preaching. Laegsgaard has angered farmers with his comments in newspapers and in sermons that the destruction of Denmark's most beautiful fjord by pollution came mostly from chemicals used in agriculture.
# The U.S. Senate voted 59-36 to approve education savings accounts that would allow parents to have a tax break on school-related expenses, including tuition at religious and other private institutions. Under the bill, families, employers and others could contribute as much as $2,000 a year to a tax-free savings account on the child's behalf to be used for expenses related to public and private schooling, including home schools. The bill passed the House by a 225-197 vote. President Clinton said he plans to veto the bill.
# The Vatican reported an $11 million surplus for 1997, the fifth consecutive year it has had a surplus after 23 money-losing years in a row. The Vatican's biggest drain on its budget is its media operations-radio, television and a newspaper-which lost $21 million last year. But the Vatican received $48 million in contributions and successful investments in 1997.
# The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), at is annual general assembly, voted 412-92 to reject a proposal that asked presbyteries to debate this year whether they want to remove a recently adopted amendment to the church's Book of Order. The amendment requires church officers to uphold the standards of "fidelity in marriage and chastity in singleness."
In other action the assembly called on its members to "intentionally work toward removing handguns and assault weapons from our homes and our communities." It also adopted a resolution calling for stiff taxes on cigarettes and strong curbs on cigarette advertising.
# At its general assembly in Holland, Mich., the Reformed Church in America placed a three-year moratorium on debating issues surrounding the question of homosexuality. Delegates also rejected a proposal requesting judicatories " to refrain from discipline based solely on a person's sexual orientation or theological judgments concerning sexual orientation."
# Delegates at the National Assembly of the Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church in Riga discussed promoting the use of evangelists to preach where an ordained pastor isn't available. The church has 101 clergy serving 304 congregations. Although 10 pastors were ordained in the last year, several ministers were removed from the roster when they formed the Lutherans of the Augsburg Confession. Latvian Archbishop Janis Vanags expressed disappointment regarding the new Lutheran church and called upon lay and clergy to maintain unity within the Latvian church.
# The United Methodist Church created radio spots called "Civility, a goodwill solution to anger pollution" in response to increases in violence in society, including aggressive driving (see also, page 29). The radio spots use humor to get across the message of love, respect and encouragement.
# The National Council of Churches of Christ in the USA expressed concern over nuclear testing by India and Pakistan, while acknowledging that the United States has not yet ratified the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. In a statement the council called upon the United States to "ratify the treaty, thus giving credibility to U.S. condemnations of India and Pakistan.
# Canadian Anglicans approved in principle a declaration to lead to closer ties to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada. The two churches will vote on the document, Called to Full Communion, in 2001.
# Pope John Paul II made changes in canon law aimed at halting discussion on topics that have been widely debated among Roman Catholics, including sexual relations outside of marriage, euthanasia and the ordination of women. Canon law means the church considers the statement to be definitive and closed to any interpretation.

Sarina Douglas
this wiki
Sarina Douglas was a genetically-engineered Human. Sarina's parents took her as a child to undergo an illegal procedure called accelerated critical neural pathway formation which dramatically increased her intelligence beyond what Humans would call genius level. Unfortunately, though her cerebral cortex was enhanced to process information faster, it couldn't initially get that information from her visual and auditory systems fast enough, and Sarina was unable to focus on her world. Outwardly, this made her appear mute and oblivious to her surroundings.
In 2374, Sarina and three other genetically-enhanced savants were sent to Deep Space 9 to be placed under the study of Doctor Julian Bashir, who himself was genetically-enhanced.
At first, the savants proved to be helpful to the Federation. They pointed out that Weyoun was willing to cede extra territory in order to gain a planet where ketracel-white for the Jem'Hadar could be produced. As Sarina was mute at the time, she managed to convey said information to Doctor Bashir by sketching a chemical diagram on a PADD.
Later on, however, the savants calculated that the Federation could not defeat the Dominion and should surrender before there was an appalling loss of life. When Captain Sisko refused to consider their proposal, the savants decided the best way to prevent mounting casualties was to contact the Dominion and give them information that would allow them to take over the Alpha Quadrant with little loss of life. When Bashir tried to stop them, they rendered him unconscious, tied him up, and left Sarina to guard him. But Bashir was able to get through to Sarina and convince her to release him, and he was able to stop the savants from carrying out their plan. The savants left Deep Space 9 soon after. (DS9: "Statistical Probabilities")
In 2375, when Sarina and the others returned to the station, Bashir devised a procedure to allow her brain to gather information from her senses, which would allow her to live a normal life. Using a neurocortical probe refined by Sarina's genetically-enhanced friends, Jack and Patrick, Bashir stimulated the growth of the synapses in her brain, allowing her to interact with people for the first time in her life.
After seeing the procedure's success and getting to know Sarina, Bashir fell in love with her, nearly driving her back into seclusion when she didn't know how to respond to his advances. Ultimately, she left Deep Space 9 to pursue an internship at the Corgal research center.
Sarina's quarters on DS9 were in the habitat ring, corridor H6, section 27 Epsilon. (DS9: "Chrysalis")
In the novel Zero Sum Game, Sarina had become an agent of Starfleet Intelligence. She accompanied Bashir on a mission stop the newly established Typhon Pact from obtaining slipstream propulsion. During that mission, Sarina reunited with Bashir, starting a longer-standing romantic relationship. The depth of her feelings for him was unclear since Sarina was entangled in Section 31's latest attempt to recruit Bashir.

Become An Effective Team Leader
Do you believe you are an effective leader and have all the desired leadership properties? Do you have what it takes to lead a team to success? Being an effective leader is a tough task and many people fail to perform their leadership duties properly. When your boss assigns you to a leadership position, he expects you to be able to deal with the team members effectively and without any difficulties. A team leader has to act like he is the boss and his team members comprise of an organization. An effective team leader must work to enhance both the output of his individual team members and that of the entire team as a whole. However, achieving this goal is easier said than done. Dealing with a group of people who have to work together towards a common goal is not easy. Conflicts and disagreements arise on constant basis and the team leader has to deal with them effectively in order to get the desired results.
Some golden rules that can help you in becoming an effective team leader are:
Eliminate Competition
While healthy competition is good for any work environment, too much competitiveness among the team mates can be negative for the productivity of the team. If the team members become obsessed with out shining one another they might end up making serious mistakes which might cause problems for the team as a whole. Make sure that the team members work well and try to curb unhealthy competition let your team members know that you value quality more than quantity so that they work harder on achieving important goals rather than working on more thing than they can handle just to score a point.
Deal With Conflicts
Conflicts and disagreements tend to inhibit the team spirit and create differences among the team mates. Sometimes petty conflicts are blown out of proportions to such an extent that the team members refuse to even work together, which his hazardous for the team manager. Even if they are forced to work to together, there are little chances that the estranged team members will be able to work at their maximum potential. An effective team leader would know how to deal with such team members effectively and efficiently. Try to make sure that no major conflicts among the team members arise and even if they do, jump in and try to cool them off before things get ugly. You have to address the underlying cause of such problems so that the conflicts do not keep on surfacing from time to time.
Delegate Properly
An effective team leader must be able to delegate his work properly and efficiently. For this to happen, a team leader must know all his team members well. He must know their strengths and weaknesses and must use this knowledge to delegate the work properly. If, as a team leader, you fail to distribute work load evenly and according to the specialties of all the team members, discontent is bound to arise. Team members might feel that they have been given undue work load and you come off looking like a bad team leader who is incapable of accomplishing the tasks that were assigned to him. Remember, the team members should not under any circumstances feel like you are putting your burden on them.
Communication is the most important aspect in any professional environment. As a team leader you must be open and communicative with the team members, so that they can come to you if they have any issues. If the team members feel like the team leader is not listening to what they have to say and what problems are they facing, they will lose focus and their work is bound to suffer. If you are a team leader, make sure that your team mates are able to communicate with you whenever they have a problem. Listen to what they have to say and do not dismiss their problems lightly. Try to find a solution and redress the problems as soon as possible so that the team members feel valued.
Make Quick Decisions
Being a team leader, you must be prepared to make quick and practical decisions so that the team members do not lose their focus. If you stall and make excuses when the team members are relying on you for a decision, the team members will feel that you are not a suitable person to guide them and hence are bound to fail them. This will make them lose faith and will jeopardize your entire projects. So at all times, remain focused, sharp and calm so that you can make a quick decision when needed.
Motivated Others
Keeping the team members motivated is one of the most important tasks that a team leader is supposed to accomplish. Team members need to be constantly revitalized as they are bound to lose enthusiasm and motivation as the project lingers on. Keep reassuring them that they are working well and praise them when it is due.
Be Assertive
A team leader has to be assertive, if nothing else. Team work is a difficult arena and tem members often get so caught up in work that they completely lose focus. As a team manager, it is your duty to make sure that the team keeps working on the goals and keeps delivering jobs on time. As a team leader you cannot afford to miss deadlines and if most of the times you have to be assertive to make sure that you get the work done. However, keep in mind that there is a difference between being assertive and bossy. You must be forceful, but remain polite and amiable all the while as this approach will bear more fruitful results.
Take Responsibility
An effective team leader must realize that his job is not only to guide the people in his team but also to take responsibility if anything does not go according to the plan and the projects suffers from some kind of setbacks. The team leader must act like the captain of a ship, who never abandons the ship even if it is drowning. Remember if you try to pin the fault on some of your team members, it will not only alienate you from the team members but also create a bad impression on the boss who expects you to act like a professional and take responsibility the failure of your team.
Be A Team Player
A good team leader must also be a team player who does not antagonize his team members by acting bossy. Moreover a team player always gives credit where it is due. Snatching the lime light from one of your team members is a very ill advised move as it is not only unfair but will also be perilous for the team spirit. Make sure that when a team member performs well, he gets his due credit so that others also get motivated to perform at their level best.
An effective team leader is one who can steer his entire team to success while keeping them motivated and on the right track. Being a team leader is a lot of responsibility and a lot of people fail to perform their leadership tasks properly. While it is true that some people are born leaders, it is also true that strong leadership qualities can be established with a little hard work and dedication.

The change was welcome news for Darrell Gooden of Richmond, who was convicted of marijuana and cocaine possession in 2002. He said he applied to regain his rights in 2008, when Democrat Tim Kaine was governor, but was turned down because of a speeding ticket. He hasn't reapplied, and now he won't have to.
"I want my children to see that the American dream is not just a dream," the 40-year-old father of three said.
Attempts to amend the constitution to allow the blanket automatic restoration of nonviolent felons' rights have failed repeatedly, most recently in the 2013 General Assembly. The constitutional amendment, historically championed by Democrats, was backed by the Republican governor and attorney general this year but was rejected by the heavily GOP House of Delegates.
The ACLU of Virginia praised McDonnell for further expediting the rights restoration process.
"The governor will be giving voice to thousands of Virginians who have been denied participation in elections due to an antiquated and regressive voting law in the commonwealth," ACLU of Virginia board president Jayne Barnard said in a news release.
Virginia New Majority, an advocacy group, said it would follow up McDonnell's policy change – which is effective July 15 – with a voter registration drive.
"We're going to celebrate today, but we have to get right back to work tomorrow," said Jon Liss, the group's executive director. "We're making plans to ensure that people with nonviolent felony convictions will be registered in time for the November elections."
Cuccinelli, the Republican candidate for governor, lauded McDonnell "for pushing his own reforms even further."
"We needed to simplify the process for those who want to regain their civil rights so they can return to full participation in society," he said.
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe called the change "an important step forward on an issue of justice for Virginians who have paid their debt to society."
McDonnell said he expects the next governor to keep his new policy.

Tuberculosis on the Rise in Virginia
March 25, 2003
TB cases in Virginia are on the rise, despite reaching an all-time low nationally. The Virginia Department of Health said Monday that the state had 315 cases last year, nine more than in 2001 for a 2.9 percent increase. More than half of last year's cases were in northern Virginia. State health officials believe the increase is due to more immigrants from countries where TB goes untreated. Vietnam, Peru and Mexico were listed among eight countries that account for more than two-thirds of TB cases in the United States. Nationwide, TB cases fell nearly 6 percent last year to just more than 15,000.

Say you have a scenario with a central master git repository, which developers and CI-engines clone from. I.e. very close to a traditional non-distributed version control system setup, with a central hub and a lot of nodes.
Now say that server was stolen or struck by lightning or any other thing that would result that the central repository was gone along with all its centralized backups. All you have left is the various clones, and by good fortune one of these was fully updated, so you create a replacement server and install e.g. gitosis.
The fully updated clone knows of all the "remotes/origin" branches with "git branch -a", but does only have a single local branch. (This is what worries me - losing branch information).
What would the steps be for reestablishing a new central git repository behaving in any way like the old one, branches and all?
