What Baseball's Rules — Written and Unwritten — Tell us About Business Ethics18 May 2016 | 2:02 pmThe fist that landed on Jose Bautista's jaw echoed around the baseball world almost as loudly as his famous "bat flip" last October.

In particular, Odor was getting back at Bautista for a very aggressive slide into second base just seconds before — which may in turn have been retribution for a fastball to the ribs that Bautista had previously suffered at the hands of a Rangers pitcher, and which was presumed to be intended as — you guessed it — retribution for last fall's...

Weekly Roundup: Uruguay smokes 'Big Tobacco', Safaricom ups the ante, critic pens a (RED) herring22 Jul 2016 | 9:44 amLittle Uruguay Smokes Big Tobacco Uruguay has at last won its legal battle against a huge tobacco company and the victory will have wide-ranging implications concerning marketing, trademarks, international trade agreements and government health measures. In 2010 Uruguay started requiring that an anti-smoking warning cover 80 percent of each cigarette package, front and back, and ruled there could be only one package design per tobacco company. Philip Morris International sued Uruguay – a small nation with a gross domestic product that's actually dwarfed by Philip Morris' sales. Well, score one for the little guy. The International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes ruled that not only can...
Curing Pilot-itis for mHealth21 Jul 2016 | 12:05 pmPilotitis [pahy-luht-ahy-tis] – the inability to break out of pilot stage.

The solution? Build for scale and sustainability from the start.

Three Growth Strategies to Boost Sri Lanka's Microfinance Sector21 Jul 2016 | 7:14 amSri Lanka has a significant low-income population segment whose financial needs are served by an estimated 14,000 financial institutions in the country, which directly or indirectly provide microcredit products. However, a majority of these financial institutions are either financial NGOs, not-for-profits or organizations that follow a local cooperative structure. For-profit formal sector microfinance institutions are few, and the market is dominated by five or six players that serve the majority of the low-income customer segment. There is limited industry research on the country's microfinance sector, and Intellecap has attempted to bridge this gap by presenting the following market opportunities and...
Making Impact Core to Education Companies' Business Strategy20 Jul 2016 | 3:00 amIn previous blog posts, I've repeated the challenge that perplexes India's education sector: Even after expenditures totaling more than USD $100 billion in the state and private sectors, student learning outcomes fail to improve. Furthermore, the business of K-12 education – and the products and services that can improve it – don't see significant growth rates. There are numerous reasons why companies struggle to establish themselves in a market with such enormous demand and private players find it cumbersome to venture into the field: the regulatory challenges of operating schools, the restrictions placed on entities that open schools (only nonprofits are allowed), and the 2009 RTE Act...

If Sir Philip Green's conduct at BHS is unacceptable what's to be done about it?24 Jul 2016 | 11:57 pmThe Work and Pensions Committee of the House of Commons has said this morning that: The truth is that a large proportion of those who have got rich or richer off the back of BHS are to blame. Sir Philip Green, Dominic Chappell and their respective directors, advisers and hangers-on are all culpable. The tragedy is that those who have lost out are the ordinary employees and pensioners. This is the unacceptable face of capitalism. They are right, of course. They are right to say Sir Philip Green and his family should now return funds he was paid by BHS whilst its pension scheme sank. But some of their solutions are too timid. Asking for a review of the audits is not good enough: these audits were grossly...

Political principles24 Jul 2016 | 11:20 pmI was pleased to see a new political movement launched yesterday. Call More United it has the backing of some notable figures, including Greens and LibDems but also the former leader of the UK's GPs, Dr Clare Gerada as well as some from the left and right. It says it will not put up candidates for election, but it will crowd fund support for candidates who support its beliefs. Those beliefs are, it says, that we need:

A fair, modern, efficient market based economy that closes the gap between rich and poor and supports strong public services

A modern democracy that empowers citizens, rather than politicians

A green economy that protects the environment and works to reverse climate change

Parle G Packaging19 Jul 2016 | 5:40 amAt the end of last year, my then 4th standard Garbology students wrote to Parle G to request they rethink their packaging for their biscuits and candies. You can see a sampling of the letters here. They never received a reply, so at the end of the summer holiday I wrote to ParleG on its Facebook page to see if I could get a response that way. While there was a brief reply, it seemed to make light of the children's ideas. Today they finally wrote a reply. This time I typed it up and pasted it on the Facebook page again hoping they would consider what we wrote. (In class the brainstorming session was much more creative that what they ultimately put below. I heard such wonderfully out-of-the box ideas from...

Can a Wall Street Career Be Fulfilling?19 Jul 2016 | 2:35 amThere's no doubt that a career in investment banking, sales and trading, hedge funds, private equity, or venture capital can be, and almost always is, very lucrative. There are few other careers outside of Wall Street that pay, even to the most average employee, as much money over the length of a career. This is widely known, and few will dispute it. However, what is not as certain, and what is certainly up for dispute, is how fulfilling a career on Wall Street can be.

What's a Company's Social Responsibility After the Sale?25 Jul 2016 | 3:00 amWhen considering corporate social responsibility, many companies tend to look at it with a front-end perspective. The attitude in large is that, "I've done everything up to X point, and now it's hands off for me." Companies, who take on such a view aren't necessarily in the wrong. The fact that they are considering sustainability puts them above a large number of businesses. However, to get to the next level of business sustainability, it's necessary to consider what the consumer will do with the product after the sale. The truth is despite the recent popularity of CSR, many businesses fail to consider CSR policies for after the sale. This can be because doing so is too expensive or impractical, but at its...

Natural Business for a World That's Waking up13 Jul 2016 | 3:00 amAlbert Einstein threw down the gauntlet for our human evolution when he said, "A human being is a part of the whole, called by us 'universe', a part limited in time and space.�He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." A task not for the faint-hearted, as it requires great courage to widen our circle of compassion amid increasing...

What You Can Do to Fix a Broken System. You Personally!1 Jul 2016 | 3:00 am"What can I do to fix a broken global economy? Me personally." It's a question I've heard a lot these past few months as I've crisscrossed the US speaking at TED venues, music concerts, the World Affairs Council, bookstores, on radio and TV shows, and at a variety of other forums. During this election year it is important to recognize that corporations pretty much run the world. Despite the outcome of the elections, they will continue to do so – at least for a while. Whether that is good or bad depends on the questions we ask ourselves – and the answers. We all support corporations. We buy from them, work for them, manage them, invest in them, and help them with our tax dollars.� We have to ask...

Sustainability 'Pioneers' Honored for Backing SDGs27 Jun 2016 | 11:48 amThe mechanics of corporate disclosure were a big part of my two decades on the management team of a commercial newswire service.

Fast forward to 2016 and we're seeing thousands of companies providing varying levels of voluntary sustainability reporting and healthy respect for the handful of stock changes that are starting to mandate disclosure of environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance. The executives behind those initiatives are landing plum...
Nasdaq President Addresses Sustainability Reporting23 Jun 2016 | 11:21 amThe president of Nasdaq Inc. served as a different kind of market maker at a gathering of the Sustainerati this week.

Starting as an intern as she finished business school in 1993, she is now widely seen as the apparent heir to Nasdaq CEO Bob Greifeld, when he retires. Friedman was also responsible for an unexpected round of applause when the event's emcee, journalist Henry Bonsu, described himself as a male feminist. In her address, Friedman talked about changing the mindset about sustainability in the global capital...
CEOs Urged to Talk ESG, Though Wall Street Wants EPS21 Jun 2016 | 7:50 pmCEOs need to ramp up communications about environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues even when Wall Street is more concerned with short-term financial performance like earnings per share (EPS), according to a new report from the Conference Board. While acknowledging that reporting about sustainability is at an all-time high, the failure of the investment community to engage can be remedied if CEOs take the lead, maintains Thomas Singer, principal researcher in corporate leadership at the Conference Board. "In addition to incorporating sustainability into annual reporting and investor presentations, signs of leadership in this area include the willingness of CEOs to consistently...
Innovation within Corporate Shared Value9 Jun 2016 | 11:46 amTraditional corporate philanthropy's methodology of simply giving funds to worthy causes is increasingly seen as unsustainable and fading into the past. Companies are now moving beyond their bottom lines to make a measurable difference in their communities by connecting CSR efforts with their core mission, products and branding shared value. During the Social Innovation Summit in Washington this week, Kathleen McLaughlin, Walmart's CSO and president of the Walmart Foundation, called for companies to play a new role as problem-solvers and innovators. She cited the company's commitments to cutting emissions throughout the supply chain, food to energy programs, development of drought-resistant seeds and...

Your Employees Are Already Job Hunting. What Are You Going to Do?20 Jul 2016 | 4:08 pmWhether you know it or not, a lot of your employees are probably job-hunting on the job. And you can guarantee this is true if the employees in question are Millennials. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average job tenure for all groups above 25 is 5.5 years. But when you look at the data around employees between 25 and 34 years old, the average job tenure shrinks to three years. Narrow that window down to only those employees between 20 and 24 years old and you've got an average job tenure of a miniscule 16 months. What does this mean for companies? Sheer chaos. Businesses invest a great deal of effort into recruiting and training the right employees for their organizations. So when...
New Report: Millennials' Political Behavior Will Surprise You30 Jun 2016 | 12:57 pmWhen it comes to insights about Millennials, our most populous generation, the annual Millennial Impact Report never disappoints. Created by research firm Achieve and the Case Foundation, the Millennial Impact Report is the most comprehensive study of the millennial generation (born 1980-2000) and their involvement with causes. Last year, the report examined the relationships between Millennial employees and their managers as well as how those relationships influence engagement in company-sponsored cause work. One of the key takeaways that I appreciated from the 2015 report was that Millennials are craving to feel connected to the social purpose of their companies, but if their peers and direct supervisors...
Is Anyone Actually Measuring Their Social Impact?2 Jun 2016 | 11:12 pmSocial impact is a term that's nervously thrown around these days. We all want to believe that when we're volunteering or giving, we're creating impact. But are we? Companies in particular must understand the bottom-line numbers connected to their employee volunteer and giving programs. Impact insights help corporate leaders make better decisions about where and how to invest their philanthropy budget and build effective compelling case for continued or increased investment in grants and donations. So what is your impact? How has your community been changed, causes been strengthened? How is your organization's program making a difference in support of its philanthropic mission? Nobody gets an A...

Because if you're treating this aspect of corporate philanthropy like an obligatory chore, you're missing the point and probably not running a successful program either. These days, employees expect companies to offer a corporate volunteer program.

The study further showed that employees expect their employees to provide an effective, contemporary workplace giving program; the ability to use work time to volunteer;...

Elderly Economics: Offsetting the Greying of China21 Jul 2016 | 2:16 amChina's elderly population, as discussed in our previous blog post, has far-reaching social, economic, and political implications that have and will continue to shape key areas of Chinese society. The phenomenon of population aging is not unique to China. Economic development is commonly linked to a drop in fertility rates and rise in working age. But the pace at which it aging has occurred in China to date has been unrivaled and accelerated by the introduction of the One-Child Policy. With the speed of this growth, China's demographic make up is approaching a critical time. The graph below illustrates this, showing that the proportion of elderly (60 years and older) is projected to overtake the...
Getting It Right: IKEA and the Power of Consumer Behavior18 Jul 2016 | 6:00 pmNone can deny the critical importance of China's market to global corporations and their leadership. With a population of over 1 billion consumers, China has become a proving ground for CEOs, an integral influencer in the international stock market, and the country where corporations learn to prototype innovate products for a massive, diverse base of customers and clients. Above all, China's high-stakes market dynamics fundamentally rest in the hands of its outspoken consumers. IKEA learned this the hard way.

Upcoming "Beyond Business As Usual" July Luncheon: The Future of Labor12 Jul 2016 | 9:13 pmWith China's desire to shift from "made in China" to "created in China", the movement away from labor-intensive industries towards new, innovative and highly efficient manufacturing has begun.

Three Things Local Charities Want Business Volunteers to Know18 Jul 2016 | 2:58 pmGuest Post by Emma Bennett Volunteers come from all walks of life to small charities, wanting to make a difference and contribute to their community. With local charities, volunteers can see the direct effect of contributing their time. It can feed their sense of altruism and genuinely make change. Throughout my time managing volunteers, I've found that those from the corporate world, if properly engaged, can be the most valuable assets to small charities. They're often smart, commercially aware, and willing to give. However, there are a few things that, as a volunteer manager, I'd love my corporate volunteers to know.

John von Neumann The Final Frontier…how should we communicate the value of multiple capitals? Who among us can come across a concept called the "Monetisation Frontier" and fail to make a weak and gratuitous reference to Star Trek? Perhaps just me then. But beyond the sci fi allusions, the concept of a monetisation frontier is becoming more relevant to sustainability with each passing day. Let me explain why. For years, linking sustainability with concepts of price and value has been the goal of a myriad of initiatives, whether this be in terms of the value of natural environments, the value foregone...
Sliding into simplicity – hiding from a complex world25 Apr 2016 | 6:07 am"It doesn't matter how conclusively you prove anything, if the person to whom you prove it can't accept your proof emotionally, it's still false. Not-real. H. Beam Piper In praise of simplicity – sing a simple song Followers of simplicity delight in seeing the world in black and white. You are either for us or against us, a capitalist or a socialist – with little space for shades of grey. Such a binary approach of course appeals at it allows us to label, categorise, align and dismiss according to our lights, our socialisation and our worldview. Admitting that nearly all opinions can be seen as wrong from another perspective, and that this truism applies to our own views as well as those of others,...

This part explores the ideas of other commons thinkers and proposes some of our own. � Beyond Hardin and Ostrom – alternative and developing approaches to commons problems "Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted."

Global Commons and the problems of property "Show me a first-generation fortune and I'll show you a successful partnership between a talented individual and society's invisible venture capitalist, the commons."

|Reviews for Harry's Boring Bookworm
| Anna Alexis chapter 2 . 5/24/2014
I love this! Amazing...
| Noble Korhedron chapter 2 . 7/22/2013
Oh man, she must've really gone nuts! :-(
| Noble Korhedron chapter 1 . 7/22/2013
Interesting... *grins*
| Random number generator chapter 2 . 5/21/2013
Skipping trials? Again?
| Covante chapter 2 . 4/2/2013
Hinging her plan on Harry and Hermione's shared belief that they don't deseve good things and the other is too good for them/out of their league isn't the worst idea Ginny could come up with but her execution was rather lacklustre.
If Harry and Hermione communicate with each other at all after their polyjuice encounters then Ginny's entire plan just falls apart. At least she gave Harry a reason to doubt what he'd been seeing in his relationship with Hermione, Hermione though just saw her best friend of the last more than a decade act entirely out of character for himself and acting all obsessive and protective of Ginny in a manner which screams 'Love Potion!" As a healer she should be able to spot that easily enough, even allowing for the emotional trauma of the moment to be the reason she doesn't pick up on it right off she'd see it upon reflection and even though this is the wrong conclusion it would still roust her suspicions. So not only is it a fragile plan from Ginny but she overacted and removed any tenuous hold on the possibility of success her plan held.
| Covante chapter 1 . 4/2/2013
He lets her off light, really light. Hopefully she gets some just desserts in the second chapter and that's why she isn't mouldering away in the North Sea right now.
| turtlefan16 chapter 2 . 3/29/2013
That was nice and sweet.
| dadby chapter 2 . 5/10/2012
| uwishuwerecool chapter 2 . 2/11/2012
well done very well written short n sweet
| texan-muggle chapter 2 . 1/17/2012
So is there a 3rd chapter coming or not?
| Nlaw chapter 1 . 7/22/2011
Just one thing to point out - you swapped from past tense to present tense during your narrative section.
"...it will be her bedroom once she clears out the..." - should be - "...it would be her bedroom once she cleared out the..."
Other than that, top notch as usual. I was going to subscribe to this story until I realised that chapter 2 is the epilogue, and it hasn't been updated in over half a decade (doesn't it sound like such a long time when you say it like that?), so there's probably not going to be a third chapter XD
I try and remove finished stories from my subscription list, so I don't fill it up needlessly P
| Zucht chapter 2 . 4/15/2011
Very good story. Is it complete? It's not marked so.
| Celexs Draconia chapter 2 . 4/7/2011
this was a highly amusing story. I would really enjoy seeing a chapter three, giving a quick check up on everyone involved.
| obsidian-fox chapter 2 . 4/7/2011
There were a few difficult transitions there, such as between Hermione being tricked and Harry being tricked, that made the story a bit surreal or difficult to follow in the middle.
I'm glad Ginny got hers in the end.
| mantimeforgot chapter 2 . 3/12/2011
Popular demand says to place Ginny in Azkaban... so she gets thrown in for use of an unforgivable? After what she did having her get punished for use of a "mere" unforgivable is quite a bit of a let down. Mustering the will to dominate or desire to sever another's will does not rise anywhere near to the level of malevolence that is required to break apart a happy couple, risk their baby, and emotionally torture two people near to the breaking point.
Unforgivable or not I would have been hard pressed to not see her tossed into the veil. I was literally shaking while reading about "Harry" (though I did not know it at the time) turning on Hermione; I was left in a daze reading about Harry seeing "Hermione" cheat on him so much so that I didn't even realize anything was amiss until Harry himself did.
Ginny of the previous chapter was a spoiled brat that deserved to be left to her own devices and be miserable by association (knowing she could have had what Hermione did if she didn't screw it up). The Ginny of this chapter is beyond redemption.

Hi Guy,
This is my first ever post on A.net, and what a pleasure it is to be a part of this worldwide community, thanks
Now lets get down to the talking
Q. I life about 10miles form EGCC/MAN, Ive been wondering about could MAN be expanded? Maybe a T4?
Because 1. It is getting worldwide recognition about it being "europe's friendliest airport"
2.flights are being upgraded from 1x to 2x daily etc....
Also MAN is not part of the BAA group so it couldn't be held back?
Your thoughts please

Dr. Tully is the worst doctor I have ever been too!!! He was rude, didn't care about my symptoms, didn't take the time to help figure out what was wrong with me. He said "I'm diagnosing you with IBS and you have to learn to deal with it." I tried to get follow-ups with him and was told I had to go see my PCP. I was seen by another doctor who was wonderful and was diagnosed and treated and I'm finally getting better no thanks to Dr. Tully who DOES NOT care for his patients
Dr Tully is fantastic! I love his bedside manner, he was so compassionate when my father was ill, and I have had all of my family and friends see him. Highly recommended!!!
Unless you don't mind being laughed at about your symptoms, not listened to at all about what you are going through, and being pushed, pushed, pushed dangerous meds, then this is the Dr. for you! He is the WORST GI DR. I have EVER BEEN TO. He tried to get me to stay on one pain med that sent me into withdrawals and into a flare, won't give me the "evil" stuff that actually worked for me in the past, so I am stuck living with the pain from my disease PLUS the new horrible pains from the dangerous Remi he pushed on me. He didn't listen to my symptoms at all, went on vacation and has his minion nurses call for him. He SUCKS. He is the WORST G.I. Dr. I have ever been to.

A day at the beach is the perfect chance to capture carefree memories, but the brightness of the sun reflecting off the sand and water doesn't often yield the best photographic results. Before you start snapping away, take a look at three common beach photography problems and simple ways you can avoid them.
The photos are overexposed: Auto mode can overexpose photos, making them appear washed out. Experiment with the camera's manual setting. First set the camera's ISO (the setting that controls the camera's sensitivity to light) to a low number, like 100. A low ISO setting is best for bright lighting. Set it to a higher number, like 400, when shooting moving objects. Next, change the white balance, and set it to daylight, shade, or cloudy-twilight-sunset, depending on the weather.
The pics are boring: Transform a shot of the sea by finding a point of interest to focus on, whether it's a rock, crashing wave, setting sun, or flying bird. The object breaks up an otherwise basic-looking landscape. Frame the pic using the rule of thirds, and include the horizon of the beach in the background to give the photo depth.
The pics have a weird bluish lighting: Try attaching a few filters to the camera. A UV filter will remove the fog effect that is caused from UV rays, and it helps protect the lens from sun damage. Experiment with a polarizing filter to reduce the glare from water and to darken the bright blue hues of the sky. It can be used occasionally, depending on the effect you are hoping to achieve.
