Learning from disaster
It was a monday, and for the first few moments of my arrival into the office, it seemed an ordinary day. The sun was shining, our receptionist smiled as I walked towards the lift and all seemed calm. As I set down my briefcase next to my chair and turned on my laptop computer, I noticed a small huddle of people a few desks away. Murmurs of '…where's the data?…' and '…it doesn't appear to be there…' reached my ears.

Here are some key ways you as a Manager can motivate YOUR team to better performance:
7 worries managers have about remote working
Where's my team?
With all the technology we have available these days, you would be forgiven for thinking that managers would welcome a request from a team member to work from home in a more flexible way.

Creating a Unicorn

Business Innovation or Conservation
Business Innovation, or Conservation ?
We all talk about the importance of Innovation; that you should focus on new ideas, new services, new markets etc. But, in our enthusiasm, often forget that the monetary benefits can take a long time to come to fruition. So should we, instead, focus all our efforts on conserving our existing business? In the current economic climate, it's very easy to fall into the trap of focusing only on short term survival. Sure, for some of us, this IS the only option. But without investment in the future, in your next great product or service, there will come a moment when there is no more business, because the rest of the market has moved on.

Management Habit 7 – Review and Learn
Effective Managers take time to review what is going well and what could be improved going forward without assigning blame.

For more about this […]

Management Habit 3 – Understand the Priorities
Effective Managers will know what the wider business priorities are, and will be able to judge whether an 'urgent' request is actually important, or whether it can wait. And be able to manage those who can't tell the difference. For more about this habit and to read my book about the 7 Habits of an […]
Management Habit 2 – Define clear goals
Managers are responsible for the achievements of other people – their team. You are not there to DO, but to produce results via your team. This also means you need to involve your team in agreeing the goals at the detailed level, but it is your job to create the mission and ensure that you […]

Successful Innovators are persistent (Secrets 5)
Successful innovators know that not all new ideas will work first time, or even at all. They allow for failure and manage ideas in a way that doesn't have a serious impact on their day-to-day business. I always remember what a director of a very innovative technology company said to me once. 'If you aren't […]
Successful Innovators Collaborate (Secrets 4)
Most small businesses are very good at what they do, but often don't have all the skills necessary to implement a great idea. Successful innovators don't let this put them off, and are not afraid to collaborate with other companies that do have those skills. They also know that exchanging ideas with businesses in other […]
Successful Innovators have a process (Secrets 3)
Now you may be thinking 'hey, innovation is a creative process, surely it should be free and open?' But ideas need managing, assessing and reducing to the best ideas. Some of them will appear, at first glance, to be completely inappropriate. But without an objective process, you may miss the best . Successful Innovators know […]
Successful Innovators Seek Ideas from Everywhere (Secrets 2)
Successful innovators know that great ideas don't just come from R&D departments, but from people working on the 'front-line', customers, suppliers, even competitors. These are the people who are likely to know what the problems really are. They also know that the more ideas there are, the more likely one of them will be great. […]

Effective Project Managers Aim for a win-win (Habit 4)
Projects can often be a warzone as the project manager tries to hold onto the plan at all costs against the enemy project sponsors and scope creeps! Many of us derive our self worth on the basis of what we win. The trouble is that a winner means there is also a loser.

EAGLES 2013 ACCURACY BETWEEN 71.4 and 100%
ALRIGHT. Now that we know who our Starting QB is, it's time to start with the predictions.
So far I feel like I've been en fuego in 2013 where predictions are concerned.
Despite Kelly trying to keep his system mum initially, I said it would be a Spread Option VERY similar to what he ran at Oregon. I said that I know it, NFL coaches know it, anyone who cares to look at his history knows it. Upshot: Kelly is running the Spread Option.
When Kelly and his staff were mum even to the players about what systems they'd be running, and then when they DID meet with players, began to disseminate the plans piecemeal, I said that that it was going to set hem back in camp and that they would end up behind our division rivals when the season began. Upshot: Kelly had to have his defense installed THREE TIMES IN THREE WEEKS in camp, and we still sucked vs. a good team in our first preseason game.
I said Michael Vick would be the Starter. Upshot: Michael Vick will be your Starter.
Offensive starters? NAILED IT! http://www.yardbarker.com/forum/3/57/discussion/every_player_is_competing/14061233
Defensive starters? CHECK ME OUT, YO! http://www.yardbarker.com/forum/3/57/discussion/how_much_real_competition_is_on_the_defense/14092745
So far I'm 5 for 5, but keep in mind I also said that come November Todd Herremann's effectiveness as a run blocker will take a dive, and I also said that 6-10/7-9 with Vick as the Starter is the ceiling. http://www.yardbarker.com/forum/3/57/discussion/wheres_your_enthusiasm/13806434 ; so there is room for me to miss the last 2, and go 5 for 7 (.714), not a perfect 7 for 7 (1.000).
Stay tuned.

Stellaractive developed an ecommerce system that displayed their products in large gallery pages that emphasized the quality and features, and added rollover navigation to view each product in every color option. One of HMK's goals was to use their website to interact with their loyal customer base and alleviate delayed responses to customer questions.

Enter the scavengerMature
A scavenger leader takes a new member on his first mission.
"Anything on your end?"
Jake pulled the earpiece out so the Fungus wouldn't distract him. His eyes darted to every corner, every shadow, everything was important.
"Jake, do you copy?"
A long blink.
Jake let out a long breath as he tilted his head to put the piece back in.
"Fungus. Shutup."
And with that, he returned to peering into the shadows. The skylight he had been observing through was set in the middle of what once was a foodcourt. Great view, awful entry point. If the team were to drop down, they'd be prime targets fin a potential crossfire. One man, on the other hand, could get in quick and reposition. Yeah, time for boots on the ground. He tilted his head to put the earpiece back.
"Fungus, what's your location?
"I'm right in front of the auto center sir!"
What an eager little fucker.
"Reposition to the east," Jake looked towards the direction of the sun," 400 meters. You should be able to see clearly through the doors. Cover in the tree line."
"Yes sir, Jake, sir"
His voice tapered off in awkwardness. Jake had to smirk. He's got heart and he wants to prove himself. Good enough for now. Time to work. He rolled over to his cargo bag and pulled out a speed rope and pulley.
"What are you going to be doing?"
His voice was broken and winded. He must have been sprinting.
"Slow down, secure your area and then move. You should be crawling."
No reply.
Jake looked in the new guy's direction when his voice came whispering over the radio.
"Yes sir."
Jake turned his attention back to the rope.
"I'm going to drop in to the food court, see if any of the restaurants still have a med kit, see if I can make it to the security office too. They might have something. Aside from that, grab anything useful." He strained the last word with a tug on the final knot. "15 minutes top. I'll be in and out of view from you, so don't shoot me as I come back out, got it?"
"How will I know it's you? I'm pretty far away."
Jake stopped and looked over to the field again behind the parking lot.
"Because I'm not wearing a damn trash can lid as a hat, Fungus!"
The young scout was slow in his response,
"Yes, sir."
Jake thought back and remembered when he was green to SCAV. It was never easy. The regulars dropped all their responsibilities onto the new guys. It was a hazing, not a training. But the initiation is for good cause, there is no failure for a scavenger. Coming back empty handed is not an option.. A whole community depends on the squad, and sometimes you had to run split-comm, sharing your returns with another community. There is no weak-hearted here. There was no second chance.
Jake stopped for a second, closed his eyes and focused on his new partner. He's a great shot, so he'll be ok as long as he handles the pressure.
"Let's do this Fungus, there's normally radio silence when dropped in.. Because this is your first time, I'll whisper "out" when coming out. Good?"
"Absolutely." His relief was eminent in the speed and tone of his response.
"But pay attention because when I say whisper, I mean a mouse. Got it?"
The command in Jake's voice brought the fear back into Fungus.
"Yes sir."
"Good, I'm dropping on your go."
He double checked all the knots and the mount before rolling onto his back. Weapons check, ammo check, knife and grenades all checked with a quick tap at each on his combat vest as he completed his mental checklist. The flashlight he pulled out and checked the batteries one last time with a quick thumb click. Good. He tapped each pocket, everything else in its place. Everything should be there, because he checked it every day before leaving camp and when he returned. Another habit given to him by his mentor, always check your shit. The one time you don't is the one time you don't notice the hole in your bag. He rolled his head, popping and stretching his neck as the sun beat down on him from above. It would be nice to lay around and look at the clouds sometime. After his checklist was done. Personal med kit, mirror, small bottle of spray oil, another small bottle of paint, metal wire, utility tool, meal pack, fire-starting kit, map, compass....
"In position" Fungus chimed in and it sounded like he was in a hole. Good cover.
"Roger, standby."
Less than a minute later, Jake completed his check. He rolled over onto his stomach and looked back through the skylight. Last check, drop zone.
"How does it look on your end?"
"All clear."
"Are you using your rifle scope or spotting scope?" Jake couldn't afford to not check.
"Good, " Real good. "Keep that up and you'll do fine. Eye's open, tell me anything you see that you shouldn't be seeing. All goes well, talk to you in 15 minutes. You set?"
"All set Jake."
"Was that excitement or nerves kid?"
Jake looked to the tree line again, knowing the young man couldn't see him over the railing. He knew he was shifting in his position because he could hear it on the radio. All nerves.
"Keep a steady hand. You'll be fine. Don't forget your 6 while you're watching mine. Going in 3, 2, 1."
With a grunt and a roll the rope bag fell into the darkness, followed by the cargo bag. Jake was only a second behind, slipping into the dark to find one more day's worth of gear. A job he chose, a job he had done hundreds of times before. Still, every time he went in by himself the old excitement came back. When his feet hit the clearing, he was smiling like a new guy again. He felt like Fungus, or how he imagined how Fungus felt. But no time for thinking now, he had a job to do.

THE LAW Society is taking proceedings against the former financial controller of defunct law firm Durnford Ford.
Chartered accountant Douglas Stephenson was employed by senior partner Graham Ford while Ford was stealing millions of pounds from relatives of dead clients, using fictitious bill and unauthorised interim payments.
The proceedings, brought under the Solicitors Act 1974, seek to ensure Stephenson is not employed or remunerated by solicitors without the society's leave.
Stephenson was arrested by the police and interviewed by the Serious Fraud Office. No charges were brought against him and he did not appear as a witness.
Ford admitted fraud to-talling £5 million on specimen charges and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Kingsley Napley applied for leave to appeal against sentence last week.
Former partner William Digby Bew, who was given an 18-month suspended sentence, will not appeal, according to his lawyers Foinette-Quinn, of Bletchley, Buckinghamshire.
Andrew Hopper, the society's investigating solicitor, is seeking reports from Foinette-Quinn and the SFO on information arising from the trial.

I was really worried about spending the money on these for my Cherokee but I'm glad I did. These are by far the best lights I've ever bought. My only small complaint is that the square lights for Cherokees arent heated, so if I use them in the snow they won't be too helpful. Other than that, amazing product.

Day to Night Makeup Tutorial with No Miss Cosmetics
When I saw this fabulous day to night makeup tutorial I just had to share it with you!
Many women say that natural cosmetics cannot give you a dramatic look, as say a mainstream brand like MAC does.
I say, "P'shaw!" to that!
Natural and organic cosmetics come in even brighter and better shades than conventional and are safe to boot.
I've been connected with No Miss Cosmetics on Twitter for a while now and until last year didn't realize they were a brand just up the road from me and that I had already tried out a few of their nontoxic products.
I made the connection when I realized the fabulous big-3 free nail polish I had bought from Whole Foods was a No Miss Cosmetics brand! In addition, I found out they were located in Boca Raton, FL, a stone's throw from where I live in Fort Lauderdale.
I also discovered they make an entire line of non-toxic, glamorous cosmetics, such as eyeshadows, liners, mascaras, and lip gloss.
I've not yet tried the face cosmetics, but Karim Orange has and she has made a fun video tutorial showing you how to transform your look from day to night using No Miss Cosmetics. She proves you can go natural with your cosmetics and still look fabulous!
Night Time Makeup featuring No Miss Cosmetics from karim orange on Vimeo.
Leave me a comment and tell me what you thought about Karim's dramatic eye makeup look and if you tried it on yourself.
I hope you enjoyed the video and be sure to share this post, via Twitter, Like it on Facebook and Pin it too…All the cool kids are doin' it!

8:30 p.m. - Baillie's relatives call police, concerned that she didn't show up for her job at a Calgary airport restaurant. Officers arrive and find the 34-year-old's body in the basement suite where she lived with Taliyah. There is no sign of the girl. Scott Hamilton, Baillie's uncle, said the two were "inseparable'' and Taliyah "worshipped" her mother.
1:40 a.m. - Police declare an Amber Alert for Taliyah.
Colin Marsman, Taliyah's father, releases a statement through a friend pleading for anyone with information to do the right thing." He says that the five-year-old is his "light" and he loves her with all his heart. Wednesday 11 a.m. — Taliyah's father releases a statement
10:30 p.m. - Police take into custody a suspect in Taliyah's disappearance. They believe he and the girl left a black car belonging to Baillie, got into a grey sedan and drove off. The sedan was seized in a strip mall parking lot on and the driver was arrested. Investigators later say that the suspect is offering "zero co-operation." They add that he has an "extensive criminal history" and was known to both of Taliyah's parents.
9:04 p.m. — Police issue a news release saying officers have found a body believed to be Taliyah's by a rural road near Chestermere.
Police believe the man they have in custody is the same one witnesses saw with a girl who looked like Taliyah.
Police hold a news conference and say two charges of first-degree murder have been laid against Edward Delten Downey, 46. They reveal that Taliyah had already been killed before police were first called. "There was nothing we could do before we even got involved.''
July 20 — Downey appears in court via closed-circuit television. Lawyer Gavin Wolch says he wants to move quickly to trial, because he is worried that his client is being tried in the media and not the courtroom.
Baillie and Taliyah are remembered at their funeral service as a pair who "brought such great smiles to our hearts.''

Template talk:The Invincibles squad

Does this template need be coloured garish yellow and bright green? I am colour blind and even I find it garish. How about a dark green similar to the colour of the baggy green with pale yellow text? -- Mattinbgn\talk 23:45, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
- Even swapping the text and background colours has made a difference. However, feel free to revert if this is unpopular. -- Mattinbgn\talk 23:51, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
I am using Firefox and the flag obscures Keith Johnson's name. Also, the template lists Johnson as "coach" rather than manager. Not sure on UK usage of these terms but in Australia these roles are completely separate. -- Mattinbgn\talk 22:09, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I'm now using IE and on the template page, it all looks fine and dandy, but on Sid Barnes' page, the players are split into an extra row, with one player on his lonesome. Anyone know how to fix this? --Dweller 11:06, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
