"You can have brilliant ideas, but if you can't get them across, your ideas won't get you anywhere." – Lee Iacocca The Overlooked Benefit of Video As a manager in the marketing department I have the opportunity to oversee a team of people who are all dedicated to helping push the power of video and its advantages across several industries. Part of the marketing process includes coordinating campaigns and messaging across multiple locations. Creative ideas also need to continuously flow back and forth. As a result, I am on video with several of my remote team members multiple times during the day. What struck …Read more
There has been significant buzz around a recent Forbes article about the death of telepresence and Cisco's response. One side claims that telepresence is a dying breed while the other claims it is alive and well. So who is right? Both of them. Yes, there are many new entrants that are disrupting the visual communications space. These companies are making video more accessible by allowing organizations who previously couldn't afford the technology the opportunity to video conference. Furthermore, the explosion of cloud services and mobile video is extending the reach of visual collaboration while overcoming interoperability barriers. The market is ever growing and organizations will continue to invest …Read more
Using Video to Improve Work/Life Balance on the Road You're sitting in your hotel room and sigh: another missed baseball game. You start thinking of all the defining moments you've missed in your child's life. From the first words, to the first day of school, to a straight A's report card; you can't help but feel you're missing out. Even though travel has been reduced through visual collaboration solutions at work; you still travel frequently because, let's face it, you can't do everything over video. Sometimes a firm handshake is necessary to close a deal or unique technical expertise requires your presence. How can you …Read more
There are several components that go into designing an optimal collaboration: space, displays, speakers, microphones, video switching, control systems, the list goes on. But what about the lighting; how does it fit into the mix? Believe it or not, room lighting plays a dramatic role in the image quality being displayed to remote conference participants. Amount of Light: Remember, there is such a thing as too much light. Meeting participants do not want to feel like they stepped into an operating room any more than stepping into a romantic restaurant. In addition to being uncomfortable for local participants, too much light can leave remote participants …Read more
"Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it." – Dwight D. Eisenhower There are several applications for video conferencing across different industries; manufacturing, healthcare and retail to name a few. There is one use case, however, that is universal throughout any organization, in any industry. The need to motivate your team. With so many pressures across the organization, it can be difficult to find the time to provide the motivation that your employees need. A small initiative can help inspire a team to work through a tough project while a large, company-wide …Read more
Everyone has been on a video call where one person doesn't quite realize you can actually see him. Remember, while you can hide pretty much anything over an audio call; anything you say or do, can and will, be seen by everyone on a video call. Here are a few tips to avoid being the one everyone talks about after you disconnect. Know you're not invisible. While you can get away with propping your feet up on your desk, eating your lunch or rolling your eyes at a long-winded coworker over audio – it is quite noticeable over video. That said, make …Read more
Driving Usage & Adoption In a world where instant messaging, email and online audio meetings reign supreme; shifting an organization's culture to adopt visual collaboration or unified communication solutions can be extremely challenging. Implementing a new technology is a significant organizational change that, if underestimated, can produce disappointing results. There are several key steps an organization must take in order to effectively drive adoption throughout the organization. This is the final post in a five-part series covering the successful development of a video culture within an organization. Read part one here. The business world is moving at a faster pace than ever …Read more
When most of us think about oil, we are mainly concerned with how much it will cost to fill up our cars with gasoline. What we don't consider is how gasoline actually arrives ready at the pump – the refining process that breaks crude oil down into a variety of consumer and industrial products. This process is the domain of commodity brokers – individuals who make their living putting together deals between buyers and sellers of petroleum products to feed the public's inelastic demand. Commodity brokers are often headquartered in one office, with several satellite locations located across the globe. Brokers …Read more
It's Friday, you're sitting at work and realize this Sunday is Mother's Day. You forgot to get a card but no big deal you'll swing by the store on your way home tonight. Only problem is, your mom lives 1200 miles away. Not exactly within driving distance and, short of overnighting a card (which will be totally obvious you forgot), there is no way a card will get there on time. Alright Plan B. You'll order some flowers and have them delivered on Sunday, but that just seems so…generic. I mean this woman raised you and, more importantly, put up with …Read more
The social era has had a dramatic impact on the way customers purchase and companies promote their products. Customer feedback is becoming ever important and now is critical to an organization's long term success. We've seen many organizations stray farther and farther away from customer needs as they fail to adapt to the changing competitive landscape. So how can companies ensure they stay in touch with customer needs and ahead of future competitors? Simple: Listen to your customers and then listen some more. Your best customers are a great source of information. Account representatives and sales managers and even marketing managers should pause …Read more

Techpedia, an initiative at SRISTI aims at putting the problems of micro, small and medium enterprises, informal sector, grassroots innovators and other social sectors on the agenda of the young technology students across the country. For over last sixty years, India has not utilized much the technological outputs of millions of students. But no more. Can a knowledge society really afford to ignore the huge talent distributed in thousands of polytechnics, diploma and degree colleges of engineering, pharmacy, medical science, agriculture etc.? SRISTI is providing a platform for the industry and academic institutions to collaborate, co-create and foster distributed and horizontal innovations. Most of the ideas mentioned here have been implemented in the state of Gujarat in close cooperation with Gujarat Technical University and initial results are extremely encouraging.
SRISTI and Honey Bee Network mourn the sad demise of former President of India, Bharat Ratna, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam whose birthday, Oct 15, has been celebrated by the Children's Creativity and Innovation Day. Dr Kalam who is also best known as missile man of India gave us the chance to take the grassroots innovations and children creativity to national stage. His inspiration enabled us to create an identity for the innovators & traditional knowledge holders to the new height at national and movement of grassroots innovation to global level. His loss is unimaginable and irreparable. We pray for his departed soul.

So I'm riding a 49 cm Windsor Timeline and managed to get hit by a car yesterday. This is my commuting bike and I've put almost 1k miles since August.
My fork got bent back and although it works fine, it gave me more aggresive handling which I'm not interested in for commuting. There was once no toe overlap and now there is= no track standing or making u-turns.
It has two decent cracks in the paint from the bending back so I know I'm going to need to replace it. I emailed bikesdirect to find out how much a replacement would run me but under the advice of someone on the forum, I'd like to know what else I should look into getting besides the stock fork from BD. I don't really want to spend too much considering I'll probably need to take it to a bike shop to get the top cut down to size.
The bikesdirect website doesn't give much specs, and I'm not sure if they were affected from the crash, so I don't know if I should just measure myself. The fork runs 700 x 32c wheels (I have a 700 x 23 for now because my other wheel is too out of true to be fixed) and has a 1 1/8" steerer. I'm looking to keep the fork steel considering its for commuting. Anybody want to send me some recommendations? I have the 49 cm frame.
This is what bikesdirect.com says about the fork:
Windsor Custom Drawn Triple Butted and Tapered 4130 Cromoly Aero Road
Drilled for road brake, 1.125 inch steerer
As for the geometry,
SEAT TUBE C-T 49cm
SEAT TUBE C-C 46cm
TOP TUBE 514mm
WHEEL BASE 998mm
CHAIN STAY 405mm
Here is the stock picture of the bike and a picture of it now.

Closing the Black-White Achievement Gap: A Review of Literature and Suggestions for School Counselors
Public policy efforts to close the achievement gap between Black and White students since World War II have had mixed results and the problem still exists today. Recent legislation of No Child Left Behind indicates that the achievement gap is a persistent problem that may have lasting effects for many years to come if the gap is not closed in the near future. The paper begins with a brief history of the achievement gap between Black and White students following World War II leading up to the 21st century. Also, the author makes suggestions for how school counselors can play a role to narrow the gap using individual, small group, and classroom comprehensive school counseling techniques in the three school counseling domains including academic, peer/social, and career.

I wish I could climb a tree. The last time that I was consistently doing strength training, I never did seem to get much stronger. I think my arm muscles looked more defined but no better at pulling up to get into a tree. I don't know why I wish I could climb a tree except that I was jealous of those kids who could climb the rope in gym class. I was in track and cross country but I sucked at both. (I ran the slowest three mile, mile and half mile in the history of the world.) I suspect that I will never be fast. I remember seeing people puke after a race. I don't want to ever do that. I don't like pain or puking in any way or form. So, I prefer to do light exercise like walking, jogging or bike riding. I don't think I have ever seen anyone jog slower than I do. My walk is incredibly slow too.
The only nice thing that I can remember that my step-father ever said to me was that he jokingly called me a "track star." I never told him that I liked that because I new that I was terrible at it. I just liked the fact that it was active and the people didn't pick on me. But it was the only nice thing that my step-father ever said about me. He also used to brag behind my back that I wanted to become a doctor but I couldn't handle the stress of that kind of a job. I am just too negative in my thinking. It's like my own brain waits until I am overly stressed and it attacks me. I can't treat a patient when I would spending most of my mental energy arguing with my brain about whether I am capable of helping the person. I sometimes think that if I could climb a tree, I would feel like I could do almost anything. Why do I still care what my step-father said when I was a child? I feel like all I ever wanted was to get him to say something positive about me and the closest he ever got was to call me a "track star." Even though I knew that I was unworthy of the joke, I still liked it.
On a more positive note, I managed to do 20 jumping jacks today. I was surprised on how much breasts bounced around. I didn't think I could do a jumping jack last year but maybe I can't remember right. I think I will check my blogs here to see what I said about jumping jacks.

The much maligned clock rules appear to be converting back to the old system. Good. It looks like the NCAA is listening to coaches, fans, etc.
Now about that playoff system...
I just read that article. What do you think of them switching kickoffs to the 30 yard line. And also making timeouts shorter. Those were two option proposed to offset going back to the original clock rules.
same article is on www.espn.com
Why the continued need to futz with college football?
35 yardline kickoffs? Fine. Clock stopping between possessions, etc? Fine.
Leave the game alone!
I think the shorter timeouts willl cause just as many problems as the clock rules did last season.
If they're kicking from the 30, then our kick coverage unit better be solid because we won't get many to the goal line.
i like the intentions, shorten the dead time...not the total time. i think 45 second time outs would be plenty of a change to start with...thats 20 seconds shorter. i like the idea of longer kickoffs too=more action not only on returns but on offense as field position would be 5 yards better every possesion.
Longer kickoffs would create more exciting football I think. Not as many touchbacks and special teams will have to be sharp. I don't think they need to shorten the timeouts as much as they are suggesting but some would be good.
For games that are on TV, the timeout length won't make much of a difference anyway because of commercials.
Any thoughts?....maybe we should think about a scholly for the kicker.
Thank God.
Never did understand that stupid rule. I mean, it's not like they're selling light beer. Football fans want MORE, not less football. Especially with ever-increasing ticket prices.
Never did get the "less for more" philosophy...give 'em less of what they want... and oh yeah, let's raise ticket prices, too. If I'm driving three hours to the Jack, I don't want to leave 14 plays sooner.
Hopefully we will get to see Moses return some kicks this year. Him or Sumrall.

deandres lil brother...
Clock rules last year were totally stupid and unnecessary, with every decision they need to ask: will this make the game better? if the answer is no or won't make it any better or worse, THAN DON'T DO IT...don't try to fix what isn't broken. Things like moving the kickoff back farther DO make they game better, it gets really boring watching every kick sail outta the end zone or end up in a touchback, i mean, that's not what the game is about...

Amjad Khan is now preparing to break his father's world records.
MALACCA: The eldest son of former Malaysian snake king Ali Khan Samsudin plans to break his father's 1997 Guinness Book of World Records.
Amjad Khan Ali is confident of smashing his late father's record of living in a glass enclosure with more than 5,000 scorpions for 21 days and another record of living with 400 snakes for 40 days.
"The details of what I plan to do are still a secret but the number of snakes involved will definitely be more than 400 and the number of days I am going to live with them, more than 40," he said yesterday.
His father died in 2006 after being bitten by a king cobra while performing a stunt in Kuala Lumpur.
Amjad Khan said he would also try to better his father's scorpion record by attempting to live in an enclosure with 5,500 scorpions for a day longer than his father did 26 years ago.
The 27-year-old snake handler started being involved in the family trade of performing with reptiles at the young age of one. He now considers all the snakes he performs with as part of his family.
"There is some sort of communication between me and the snakes.
"God willing, I will emerge without a single bite at the end of my feat," he said, adding that snake handling had been part of his family for four generations and that most of his relatives had grown to love their "slithery friends".
Amjad Khan, who hails from Taiping, Perak, said he would first need to look for the right place to set the new record.
"I am planning to approach shopping complexes or hotels keen to be part of the event, either in Kuala Lumpur, Seremban or here," he said.
Since the death of his father, Amjad Khan has been actively involved in handling snakes for shows, movies and stage shows.
His service has also been engaged by residents in housing estates and plantation owners to control snake populations or to chase away the poisonous reptiles.
The father of three has also caught many venomous black cobras in several plantations and released them into their natural habitat.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Carpet Foam/Glue Remnants on HW Floor
We have lifted a foam backed carpet from the original hardwood floors and most of the foam remains stuck on the floor. We can see that in the areas where the foam did come off, that the floor is in beautiful shape and was probably protected by carpet its entire life of 38 years. We have tried to lightly scrap the foam off however it doesn't come off easily without scatching the floor. In addition it looks like there may be spots of glue used to hold the carpet in place. We are trying to avoid having the floors refinished at this point in time so can you tell us if there is a product on the market that we can use to remove this foam or do we have no choice but to sand and refinish it now?
[This message has been edited by WaltWasz (edited July 06, 2001).]
[This message has been edited by WaltWasz (edited July 06, 2001).]
You shouldn't have to refinish the floor now,however,you will need to invest some time in removing the foam and glue.Try using any soft rubber scraping tools (even a spatula for teflon)to remove the foam.As a psychological aid you may want to work in 3'by 3'sections at a time.Once you remove the foam from an area you should be able to remove the glue with mineral spirits on a cloth.If too much glue was used,you may need to work at removing the bulk before using the mineral spirits.Don't allow the mineral spirits to remain on the floor,use it only to wipe the glue.Should you have to get aggressive and scratch the finish during removal,I think you'll be able to repair these scratches with steel wool or a coat of clear finish when all is done.Patience will pay off in the end.

Rome, Italy
My Rating
Enjoy Rome was a little difficult to find. Our guide was helpful and informative. Be sure to note that you need to be prepared to pay additionally for the museum fees. Some on our tour did not realize this and were quite upset about it. You have to check in backpacks and large umbrellas.
Florence, Italy
My Rating
Our tour guides were great. They helped us to see as much as we could in Florence in a day. They were well informed and friendly. We took an early train from Rome. I would suggest a cab to the start of the tour. We tried to walk and got a little disoriented. We caught a cab to get there on time

The Flash Extended Trailer Reintroduces Us To Barry Allen For New CW Drama

The CW has The Flash lined up for Tuesday night at 8:00 p.m.. While it might be more convenient for fans if the network aired Arrow and Flash back-to-back on the same night, that's not typically CW's strategy, and frankly, I'm glad to have the shows spread out a bit.

"Lucky me" Tumon by vividvivian
Tumon Travel Guide: 12 reviews and 32 photos
i was a lucky one for this trip. let me cut the trace. Brother won complimentary stay in Fiesta resort but his passport was expired, at the mean time, i got my US visa, so i went there instead of him.
i brought my figurine "Ojarumaru" on this journey to have some fun shots of it :D yes, i am crazy, but that is fun, isn't it?
whenever i go out, i bring Ojarumaru with me so that i can make some good shots of him. :)
i like water sports, esp snorkeling, i was told that it was pretty cheap to get a license for scuba diving in Guam at the rate of USD200. however, i will go to Hawaii to have scuba lesson, i did not give it a shot in Guam, hopefully next time when i am in Guam again, i will do scuba diving.
- Pros:water sport paradise
- Cons:too many japanese tourist... feel like in Japan than in Guam
- In a nutshell:surely a tourist area, a bit expensive but still acceptable

Self-Regulation Update
Dr. Stuart Shanker is Canada's leading expert on the science of self-regulation and CEO of The MEHRIT Centre, an educational network that focuses on translating current knowledge about self-regulation into practice. John Hoffman met with Dr. Shanker during a week-long Self-Regulation Symposium at Trent University last year to discuss how his understanding of self-regulation has evolved and to explore his vision for self-regulation-based practice in schools. In this interview, Dr. Shanker discusses his new understanding of the biological basis of self-regulation, his work uncovering the "hidden stressors" that may impact a child's ability to learn, and his vision for a broad, interdisciplinary paradigm shift in the way we think about children's development, behaviour and learning.Read Full Article
Human-Centred Leadership
A positive customer experience is central to the success of businesses all across the globe. Because of the importance of this user experience, companies will spend endless amounts of time and effort doing market research to determine the needs of their clients. By seeking out multiple sources of information about their end users and working with them through the design process, businesses continuously try to create products that most closely match the needs of their customer. So how could we apply this "design approach" to education? What would happen if we thought of our students, parents and teachers as our clients – as resources who could give us insight about their user experiences with our schools? By taking a design approach with our partners to solve problems that we encounter in the K-12 system, we will not only find solutions that better reflect their needs, we will develop their capacity as leaders and collaborative problem-solvers within and beyond our school community.Read Full Article
District Leadership for Democratic Governance
Enlightened district leadership plays a key role in strengthening governance at all three levels of the Canadian education system. At the school board level, effective superintendents work with trustees to meaningfully engage members of the wider community in understanding and supporting their district's strategic plans for the learning, engagement, and well-being of all students. At the school level, district leadership teams foster the collective leadership capacity of principals so that the voices of teachers, students, and parents have greater influence in shaping direction. At the provincial level, proactive trustees and district administrators actively contribute to policy interdependence by engaging in policy discourse, advocating for local needs, and providing feedback to the Ministry.Read Full Article

- Definition
SEIZURES, BENIGN FAMILIAL NEONATAL-INFANTILE; Benign familial neonatal-infantile seizures is an autosomal dominant disorder in which afebrile seizures occur in clusters during the first year of life, without neurologic sequelae; It is distinguished from benign neonatal epilepsy and benign familial infantile convulsions by an intermediate age at onset. Onset at 5 days, the proband developed seizures consisting of eye-blinking and lip-smacking or rhythmic twitching of the left arm and leg with the head turned to the right; A few subsequent seizures occurred, but all ceased after 6 months of age; Age at onset in other affected family members ranged from 2 days to 3; 5 months, but ceased in all patients by age 7 months; Seizures occurred in clusters, usually 5 to 15, over a period of hours to a couple of days after onset ;None of the patients developed a subsequent seizure disorder, and all had normal intellectual and motor development;The authors suggested the term "benign familial neonatal-infantile seizures" to describe the disorder. This is an autosomal dominant inheritance of benign familial neonatal seizures; None of the patients had seizures after the first 10 months of life, with long-term follow-up ranging from 10 months to 56 years; Development was normal, and antiepileptic drug therapy did not appear to modify either seizure recurrence or long-term outcome; individuals had onset at 3 to 3, 5 months, later than that typical for BFNC, which has onset within the first week of life.
Noting that the age at onset in benign familial infantile convulsions (BFIC) is typically between 4 and 8 months, the authors concluded that the age at onset in this family was intermediate between that seen in BFNC and BFIC; termed BFNC and BFIC "benign familial convulsions of early life"; BFNC1 and BFNC2 chromosome 20 then 8;but 2q24 locus found; Clinical Synopsis: Seizures, partial, afebrile; Secondary generalization may occur; Seizures, generalized, afebrile; Seizures occur in clusters; Seizures often begin with head and eye deviation; Normal psychomotor development ; Normal interictal EEG; Onset ranges from 2 days to 7 months (most at 2-3 months); Seizures are easily controlled by medications; Spontaneous resolution by 12 months of age; (OMIM reference)

Although downscaling methods for deriving local/regional climate change scenarios have been extensively studied, little guidance exists on how to use the downscaled scenarios in applications such as impact assessments. In this second part of a two-part communication, we review for non-climate scientists a number of practical considerations when utilizing climate change scenarios. The issues discussed are drawn from questions frequently asked by our colleagues on assessment teams and include sources of observational data for scenario evaluation, the advantages of scenario ensembles, adjusting for scenario biases, and the availability of archived downscaled scenarios. Together with Part I, which reviews various downscaling methods, Part II is intended to improve the communication between suppliers and users of local/regional climate change scenarios, with the overall goal of improving the utility of climate impact assessments through a better understanding by all assessment team members of the strengths and limitations of local/regional climate change scenarios.

Twenty post office workers attacked in Warrington (From This Is Cheshire)

Twenty post office workers attacked in Warrington
12:00pm Thursday 29th November 2012 in
OWNERS of dogs that attack postman should be prosecuted as criminals, according to an independent report.
The proposals come after there were 20 attacks recorded on postman by dogs in Warrington between April 2011 and April 2012, and more than 3000 nationwide.
Royal Mail has now welcomed the findings of the inquiry which recommends that tougher sanctions should be put in place to prosecute owners.
Sir Gordon Langley, is a former High Court Judge who led the inquiry, He said: "It is a matter of real concern to learn of the extent and frequency of attacks on postal workers and to find that for a considerable time there has been almost general agreement not only on the inadequacies of the present law in England and Wales but also on the nature of the reforms required to address it, but to date it remains unchanged."
Under current legislation tougher measures are available against owners whose dogs attack people in public places.
However, these sanctions cannot be applied where the attack takes place on private property, with penalties often restricted to the dog, whether that be a control order or destruction.
The Langley Report calls on Parliament to repeal current legislation. It is pushing for heavier penalties including suspension of delivery for any addresses where dog attacks occur, and criminal prosecution against owners.
Warrington North MP Helen Jones was once bitten by a dog when delivering election information.
She said: "I know how painful this can be.
" Responsible dog owners make sure that their pets cannot do harm to others.
"I believe that anyone who has a dog should either have a cage fitted behind their letter box or have a letter box on the wall outside to prevent anyone being bitten."
Donald Brydon, chairman of the Royal Mail Group, said: "Dog attacks cause injuries and terrible trauma to our staff. Nobody should have to endure this and our staff are at an increased risk of such attacks simply because of the job they do.
We have also taken on board his comments that Royal Mail should take a more robust approach with customers whose dogs attack postmen and women. We will adjust our policies immediately."

It seems to be common sense for the postie to be instructed/allowed not to deliver at such a location (making a note of the reason) - the same goes for houses that have dogs (often staffies and other ego-compensation dogs) running around in the front garden.
The right to a a universal service should be removed from some people.

Putting post through a letterbox is ok as there's a door between postie and dog, but for owners to let the dog behave in this manner should (as Nick Tessla said) have the right to a universal service removed from them.

TrueBlueTerrier says...
As to refusing to enter a property if a dog is loose - this is already Royal Mail policy.
Perhaps the situation will improve when England catches up with Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland who have all recently enacted new legislation to deal with this problem.

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
Employee engagement has been a buzzword in the human resource world for a while. It's just common sense. When employees are happy and engaged at work they tend to be more productive. Much of this has been focused on employee happiness as an indicator of a solid compensation program – the better employees are paid and the more perks they enjoy; the greater their happiness should be, right? Not so much. Our 2016 PayScale Compensation Best Practices Report indicates that 73 percent of employers believe they are paying fairly, but only 36 percent of employees agree. Interestingly enough, some employers are shifting to creating overall physical and financial wellness for employees, and earning a better ROI. What's this all about?
Along with thousands of other people, I read Talia Jane's open letter to her CEO with mixed emotions. Long story short, she wrote an in-depth blog, directed to the CEO of Yelp, describing the many ways that the pay for her entry-level job at Eat24/Yelp fell short of allowing her to pay for a car, apartment, and food. One of my colleagues posted a great analysis of the range of responses felt by employees across the generations. Her post got me thinking about the ways that Eat24 could have done a better job engaging Jane before it got to this point, because let's be real—this point was way too far for her to actually be engaged in the core responsibilities of her job. What are the best steps to take to seek to prevent such dissatisfaction?
You may recall PayScale's Turnover: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly whitepaper in which we closely examined the reasons why employees leave otherwise good workplaces, and dispelled some common myths. What matters most to employers is why employees stay, and this comes from certain generational values and desires. For example, our research indicated that for Millennials, flexible working hours supersede starting salaries, but for older workers the chance to put away money in a retirement fund is much more attractive.
The internet is a great and wondrous thing, where with just a few key word searches, you can find anything and everything, including pay data. But is typing "software engineer salary" into your search engine and then using the information you find really the best way to figure out what to pay for your jobs? Here are five questions to consider if you're thinking about using free salary data to make pay decisions.
Deciding to partner with an HCM vendor can feel a lot like being single—working your way through the dating pool to find your future spouse. As we approach Valentine's Day, PayScale is here to give you a few tips and some guidance on how to navigate the various players you'll interact with during this speed-dating to wedding planning process.
It can be impossible for Human Resource pros to see things from an objective standpoint when we are so connected to the people and processes of our organizations. However, it's critical to take a step back once in a while to view things from the perspective of employees and future hires. Compensation plays a major role here. The 2015 PayScale Compensation Best Practices Report revealed that a quarter of employers, "reported the inability to offer a competitive wage as a barrier to finding good people, which might explain why a whopping 78 percent claim to be only "somewhat" or "not at all" satisfied with their compensation structures."
When organizations get into high growth phase, everything starts moving faster. Recruiting speeds up. Finding people desks to sit in rapidly becomes an unsolvable puzzle.Making sure every incoming person has a set-up complete with computer becomes a greater challenge.All the moving pieces that are tough to keep up with on a good day suddenly run the risk of falling through the cracks. Compensation is another thing you have to get right as you scale quickly. So how can you make sure you're getting the comp equivalent of the right set-up as you grow?
In a bold move, KPMG, a global professional services firm, has opted to dump its annual employee engagement surveys for good—relying on the theory that annual employee surveys are passé and real-time data is the new way of measuring the true engagement level. According to Robert Bolton of KPMG, "This term 'engagement' is abused, it's misunderstood, it's not evidence based, and it's a minefield."
Myth debunked! While a pay gap does exist, it is smaller than most people think. For women and men in identical roles, the pay gap is 2.7%. This myth originates from the fact that when all women's jobs are compared to all men's jobs, the pay gap widens to 74 cents on the dollar, aka 26%, but that is because more women work in lower-paying fields. Moral of the story? Forget the pay gap and focus on this jobs gap—bring more women into leadership roles and high-paying fields!
For those who don't know, every year PayScale produces the Compensation Best Practices Report. This report is based on a survey administered to 100,000 human resources professionals and business executives, asking them their point of view on the biggest topics in human resources and compensation: everything from minimum wage and managing millennials, to recommending your favorite HRIS and payroll software. Last year, we got over 5,000 responses.
Only a few short years ago, our nation was in economic turmoil. Organizations didn't know where to even start creating competitive compensation offerings because of the uncertainty of things. We accurately predicted that the best thing companies could do was to hang on to their top performers and talent, pay them fairly, and use real-time salary data to gauge trends as they were happening. Now, it's up to comp managers to up the ante with strong compensation strategies in the top growth markets.
Wow! Can you believe it that we're half way through our 4-Part Comp Glossary bringing you closer to 'comp'lete mastery of the compensation language?! In part 3, we bring to you: Pay Structures.
Welcome to the Compensation Roundup, where we bring to you the hottest news in comp! Sample what's happening in compensation right now, get in the know and grab some conversation starters. This week's topics: JLaw's Gender Wage Gap, Transparency, and RIP Annual Raises.

Geoff Muldaur & Jim Kweskin
Americana roots enthusiasts long before it was even considered a specific category, Geoff Muldaur and Jim Kweskin go way back to the early-'60s Boston-Cambridge folk scene. There in 1963 they formed the Jim Kweskin Jug Band, which, in sharp contrast to the earnest solemnity of the larger folk revival, played a raucous, sometimes ribald, slightly dizzy mix of folk, blues, ragtime, country, early jazz, and novelty tunes—the musical equivalent of R. Crumb's cartoons. Other notable members included fiddler Richard Greene, banjoist Bill Keith, jug and washtub bass player Fritz Richmond, and singer Maria D'Amato, who married Muldaur and later had a well-known nocturnal assignation at the oasis. The band fizzled out by the end of the '60s, but not without influencing the likes of the Lovin' Spoonful and Grateful Dead. Muldaur, a fine blues singer and guitarist, later played with Paul Butterfield's Better Days. He and Kweskin, an adept finger picker and wry vocalist, separately put out a handful of solo albums but eventually mostly fell off the radar until the last few years. The pair got reacquainted at a memorial concert for Richmond and started doing duo gigs like this one. Both were also part of last year's well-received album The Texas Sheiks, which covered some of the same quirky traditional tunes the pair is likely to do here, such as "Blue in the Bottle" and "Under the Chicken Tree." Minneapolis's own Spider John Koerner is an old running partner of both, so if he's in the neighborhood...?
