There is a persistent and dangerous disparity between the way in which organisations think they view culture, and the way they influence and manage it.
It has become de rigeur to blame all manner of catastrophic failures on 'a cultural problem', as if invoking some disembodied set of norms and behaviours that exist outside anyone's control creates distance from the culpability, and so is the total answer to everything.
It isn't.
The fact is that those at the heart of an organisation – who should be setting the cultural climate – can often be blind to problems mounting up around them, and the results can be calamitous.
Taking responsibility
General Motors sustained serious reputational damage after mishandling the issue of an ignition fault that would eventually be found to have cost lives. In 2014, the company's CEO, Mary Barra, said an internal investigation found: 'a pattern of incompetence and neglect' that led to 11 years of delays in recalling millions of cars.
Former US federal prosecutor, Anton Volukas, was deeply condemnatory of a lax culture that pervaded GM when he wrote his investigation report. He revealed that while everyone engaged on the ignition switch problem had the responsibility to fix it, nobody took on that responsibility. Despite the issue having been investigated, and the fact it touched numerous people at GM including engineers and lawyers, nobody had raised the problem to the highest levels of the company. Volukas condemned GM for a string of failures that had led to fatalities. Worse, GM did not disclose the fault. Nor was it discovered by regulators, or transport safety agencies: it only came to light after a lawyer in Georgia sued the company on behalf of the family of a woman who died in a car crash believed to have been caused by the ignition fault.
Papers were released that laid the situation bare, many law suits followed, and GM ended up dismissing 15 employees, including executives. Mary Barra did her best to weather the storm, but she had to acknowledge that central to the problem was her people's belief the fault was merely a customer satisfaction matter, rather than one fundamentally to do with safety.
Cabin pressure
Best practice is to aim to build an effective culture in every sub-group and team. The circumstances surrounding the crash of Asiana flight 214 at San Francisco airport in July 2013 brought this into sharp relief.
Asiana is one of South Korea's two main carriers. The crew of one of its Boeing 777s mismanaged the approach to the airport, but the real culprit here was the airline's cockpit culture.
An investigation report into the crash – which killed three passengers and injured 187 – made some astonishing assertions, especially about an organisation operating in a safety-critical industry:
- Challenging the pilot might have been considered disrespectful.
- Pilots would not wear sunglasses, even in high levels of glare, because to do so was deemed 'impolite'.
- No member of the professional crew intervened until seconds before impact, by which time it was too late.
Waiting for someone else to take action merely reinforces the prevailing culture and embeds more deeply whatever flaws in that culture are there already.
Some obvious questions, then: does everyone in your organisation feel confident, willing and mandated to take appropriate action if the circumstances warrant it? Does the corporate culture, explicitly or by default, tend to favour hesitation and passivity? Is whistleblowing encouraged and supported, or is it viewed as career suicide?
Societal factors
Societal traits and national culture come into play at corporate level, too.
The most scathing report on the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant meltdown in 2011, was written by Kiyoshi Kurokawa, a medical doctor and professor emeritus at Tokyo University. It followed a six-month investigation that clocked up more than 900 hours in hearings and interviews with more than 1,100 people.
Professor Kurokawa wrote: 'Its fundamental causes are to be found in the ingrained conventions of Japanese culture: our reflexive obedience, our reluctance to question authority; our devotion to 'sticking with the programme'; our groupism; and our insularity.
'What must be admitted – very painfully – is that this was a disaster 'made in Japan'. Had other Japanese been in the shoes of those who bear responsibility for this accident, the result may well have been the same.'
The commission of inquiry: '…found ignorance and arrogance unforgivable for anyone or any organisation that deals with nuclear power. We found a disregard for global trends and a disregard for public safety.'
The company running the plant, the government and the regulators were all censured for collusion and lack of governance.
Corporate awareness
Booz & Company (now Strategy&) is an international strategy consulting firm. In 2013, it conducted a culture and change management survey among 2,200 global participants that lifted the lid on corporate attitudes to culture. It found:
- 84% of respondents believed their organisation's culture was critical to business success.
- 96% said some form of cultural change was needed in their organisation.
- 56% believed their organisation needed a major overhaul of its culture.
- 45% did not think they had the capabilities required to deliver lasting change.
- 57% were sceptical that any change was possible because of failed efforts in the past.
So, there is plenty of awareness of – and certainly lip service paid to – the importance of positive culture, but huge gaps can appear between intent and execution when it comes to creating, sustaining and nurturing the right organisational culture.
It can often take a corporate scandal to alert people to potential problems, but much can be done to promote a healthy organisational behaviour and develop resilience against insidious cultural problems.
Specialist external consultants – by their nature untainted by a prevailing culture – can be well placed to diagnose cultural problems and to recommend action based on a range of intelligence-gathering activities such as: anonymous surveys; focus groups; face-to-face interviews at all levels in the company; working with the board; a reputation audit involving stakeholders; and benchmarking against industry best practice.
These measures can and should identify problems and allow you to address them.
It is wise not to wait for lightning to strike.

DENVER Manager Kirk Gibson expects to have a plane flight full of discussions with general manager Kevin Towers when the Diamondbacks travel to Kansas City on Thursday night for the start of interleague play Friday. There is a lot to talk about. Possible topics: --the DH in KC. --a timetable for the return of Chris Young and Daniel Hudson. --the composition of the starting rotation when Hudson returns. --the first base situation. Gibson first mentioned the possibility of personnel adjustments after the 1-5 homestand that ended Sunday, and changes could be on the table after the D-backs' 16-22 start that now includes a 6-1 loss to Colorado's 49-year old left-hander, Jamie Moyer, here Wednesday. The D-backs scored on doubles by John McDonald and Cody Ransom in the seventh, but they trailed, 6-0, by then. They have the same record that they had at this point last season, but the quality of play has not been the same. Changes? "If we felt that that would be the case, we would do that, but I'm not sure that we have a resolution on what we might want to do at this point," Gibson said. Patrick Corbin, so effective against San Francisco in a 3-1 victory Friday, gave up six earned runs in six innings to bump his ERA to 5.73 in four starts. A couple of bleeder and bloopers and a two-run, 75-foot single by Moyer did a lot of the damage, but Dexter Fowler had a couple of big hits, too. Rookie Corbin took Josh Collmenter's spot in the rotation after Wade Miley took Hudson's following his shoulder injury, and the D-backs are nearing decision-time on the fifth spot in the rotation. Assuming Hudson returns as expected May 26 or May 27, one of the final two games of a Milwaukee series at Chase Field, the D-backs will have to choose between left-handers Miley (4-1, 2.52 ERA) or Corbin (2-2). Then, does the odd man out move to the bullpen? Collmenter has pitched well in his two relief appearances. And how, it at all does Trevor Bauer 7-1, 1.68 ERA at Class AA Mobile figure into the discussions? Young is even closer to a return than Hudson after another good rehab day at Class A Visalia, when he hit a grand slam on Wednesday morning. He had a homer, three doubles and seven RBIs in three games at Visalia, but the D-backs planned to send him to Class AAA Reno on Thursday, wanting to make sure his right shoulder is ready for major league wear and tear. The D-backs could ease Young back into the lineup as a DH in Kansas City, although that takes their rangiest outfielder off the field. Tower solved the D-backs' DH situation with a bold move in Kansas City in their first interleague road series last year, when he purchased the contract of big bopper Wily Mo Pena from Class AAA Reno. Designatedly hit, Pena did. He homered in Kansas City in his second game, had two game-winning hits the next series in Detroit, and had a walkoff pinch-hit homer against Cleveland the next homestand. He was gone by the All-Star break, but it was good while it lasted. The D-backs have a statistically, physically similar player at Reno this year in Randy Ruiz, 6-foot-3 and 250 pounds. Ruiz, who bats right-handed, is hitting .325.388.588 with eight home runs and 35 RBIs in 31 games. He had cups of coffee with Minnesota and Toronto in 2008-10, and he had 10 homers in 115 at-bats for the Jays in 2010. He was the organization's player of the month for April in an organization that believes in rewarding production, and there is a spot open on the 40-man roster after David Winfrey was designated for assignment early Wednesday.It might be idle speculation, but Towers' track record suggests heis never afaid to shake things up. The D-backs have played Paul Goldschmidt and Lyle Overbay in a platoon at first base the last week, and the situation seems unsettled, certainly more so than when Goldschmidt entered spring training are the clear No. 1. Goldschmidt, hitting .219 with two home runs, doubled off the fence in right field Wednesday, the hardest of the D-backs' six hits.He also was involved in a close play at first that went a long way toward deciding the game. Goldschmidt fielded Moyer's slow roller with two outs as Corbin ran to cover the bag, and Goldschmidt thought about flipping to Corbin before trying to make a leaping tag. He appeared to graze Moyer's behind with his glove for the out, but first base umpire Jim Reynolds called Moyer safe, and runners from second and third scored for a 5-0 lead. "I thought I got a piece of him. That's what happens when things aren't going well. What are you going to do?" Goldchmidt said. That is what Towers and Gibson are about to decide.

Jet impingement induced heat transfer is an important issue in engineering science. This paper presents results of large eddy simulation (LES) of normally impinging elliptic air-jet heat transfer at a Reynolds number of 4400, with orifice-to-plate distance fixed to be 5 in the unit of jet nozzle effective diameter . The elliptic aspect ratio (a/b) is 3/2. While the target wall is heated under some condition of constant heat flux. The LES are carried out using dynamic subgrid model and Open-FOAM. The distributions ofmean velocity components, velocity fluctuations, and subgrid stresses in vertical and radial directions, and the Nusselt numbers involving heat transfer through the target wall are discussed. The comparison with existing experimental and numerical results shows good agreement.
Inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to investigate genetic diversity among 39 isolates of Beauveria spp. (36 B. bassiana, one B. brongniartii, one B. amorpha, and one B. velata) isolated from different insect hosts and geographical origins. Eighteen among 33 primers that contained different simple sequence repeats (SSR) were chosen for their reproducibility and high polymorphism. Considerable intraspecific and interspecific variability among the isolates of Beauveria spp. was revealed. One hundred sixty-eight highly reproducible fragments were amplified in all 39 isolates with an average of 9.3 markers per primer; among these, 161 (95.8%) were polymorphic. For 36 B. bassiana isolates, 8.9 (1–13) markers per primer were scored, and a total of 123 fragments were amplified, in which 102 (82.9%) were polymorphic. Among the 168 polymorphic bands, 7 bands were considered to be specific for B. brongniartii isolate Bbr06, 14 bands for B. amorpha isolate Ba08, and 18 bands for B. velata isolate Bv01. Within 36 B. bassiana isolates, genetic similarity ranged from 0.651 to 0.972. However, the genetic similarity values among different Beauveria species ranged from 0.411 to 0.720, suggesting that ISSR technique was successful in differentiating the three closely related species from B. bassiana. The results also indicated that there was a certain association between B. bassiana isolates and their geographical origins, but no clear correlation between those isolates and their insect hosts. The present study suggested that ISSR markers can be used as robust molecular markers for the population genetics, epidemiological and ecological studies of entomopathogenic fungi.

Banana In Pajamas Cake
Decorating By mummylove01 Updated 23 Mar 2011 , 2:02am by sebrina
I have made a Banana Pajamas Cake for my 3 year old. It was my first attempt at sugar paste modelling. Few questions i like to know how to improve or correct the mistakes:
1) I tried mixing gum tex and fondant, i did not know the proportions to it, just an estimate. Found that it could be drying and my figures later cracked. Could it be due to proportions not right? What is the right amount to mix?
2) The hands look like gorilla hands hanging on the sides. I made the stripes and wrap it around the arms. How can i keep the arms from hanging?
3) As i made separate blue and white strips to wrap around for the pajamas, some of the stripes starts to open up/tear? Again is it not due to proper drying?
4) First attempt i use to mix my own colour with icing colouring. I found that it runs more easily than ready mix fondant colours. Why is this so?
5) I couldn't get the bananas to stand up even with drying of legs. could it be the proportion of body torso and arms not right resulting in heavy weight? How do i get proportions right if i am going to make different body parts?
6) Do i use icing sugar or cornstarch for handling or a mix due to humid climate?
I tried to post a picture but the attachment is not working??? Why is that so
It almost never works. Post a link to your picture instead?

Gaikai, a startup out of Aliso Viejo, announced Thursday it had inked a deal with videogame giant Electronic Arts to stream its videogames to Internet browsers.
Similar to its larger competitor OnLive, Gaikai's technology could have a major impact on the way games are distributed.
Gaikai demoed the technology it has been developing at the E3 conference in Los Angeles on Wednesday. It allows fully playable games to be streamed directly into an Internet browser. In other words, complex games that might have only been playable on an expensive and high-powered Windows computer could theoretically be fully playable on a device like the iPhone without any configuration from the user.
"The limitation of the platform is going to go away," said David Perry, chief executive of Gaikai.
Gaikai's demonstration showed how any website – whether it be a retailer or news organization – can insert a piece of code that allows a game to be streamed from Gaikai's servers to the user's Internet browser window.
For example, you could be thinking about buying a video game at a site like Amazon.com for yourself or for a family member. Other than reading reviews, there is no easy way of finding out whether the game is any good or whether it's appropriate for certain age groups. Gaikai would enable the full game to be played immediately on the website itself so people can test out the game right then – at the moment of purchase. All that would be required is that the computer be powerful enough that it can run full-screen videos, Perry said.
The agreement with EA includes a number of the company's high-profile franchises, including "The Sims," "Mass Effect," "Medal of Honor" and "Need for Speed."
"Gaikai's innovations open whole new experiences for both current players and new customers looking for the best of interactive entertainment," said Richard Hilleman, chief creative director for Electronic Arts. "It also brings new opportunities and capabilities that will improve both our craft and products, including secure beta-testing and the ability to instantaneously bring the latest games into the hands of our waiting audience."
According to Perry, Gaikai recently closed a $10 million series B round of funding.
The first title will launch later this summer.
Gaikai is a Japanese word for a "vast, open ocean," according to Perry.
"It's like this big, open space to be explored," he said. "That's what we're trying to do. Once you start going out there, what else can you do?"

The Deadpool movie has been confirmed, and now we're getting details on exactly where it stands in the cinematic universe. According to X-Men: Days of Future Past writer and producer Simon Kinberg in an interview with Comicbook.com:
"There's definitely a sort of overall plan that we've all been talking about for the X-Men universe now," Kinberg explained, "and Deadpool obviously fits into that. So yeah, I guess I would say it's part of certainly an overall timeline and thought process that goes into these films, some of which is inspired by the comics and some which is inspired by seeing what Marvel's done with telling a larger tapestry and linking all those movies together, even as they stand independently as well. The same kind of thought is going to go into these X-Men movies at Fox."
The film is set to hit theaters on February 12, 2016 so we've still got a bit of a wait to see exactly how they manage to tie it all together.

Dream. Dare. Do – that is Suyati's work principle in a nutshell.
Ignore this blog if you are outsourcing for the short-term and looking to wrap up a project quickly. If you are thinking long-term outsourcing, then you need to know that you are embarking on a strategic move, which, if managed well, will earn you (and your business) a life-long partner who will stand by you through thick and thin.
Hmm, does this sound suspiciously like a marriage? Bingo! A strategic outsourcing relationship is a contract where you and the vendor have specific roles and responsibilities to fulfill, with both of you focused on turning out a great product or service. The metaphor however does not end with turning out a product. Like a marriage, there are certain do's and don'ts that you need to know before you say "I do" to your outsourcing partner.
So are you ready to say "I do"? We are!

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I filed and EEOC complaint against my employer ( a large drug store chain) and they have requested mediation. The mediator contacted me and asked me to submit a proposal.I was disciminated against by one Manager for having cancer. I have been going through chemo for three years and was with this one manager for only 1 year. Never had any issues with any other managers. I was passed up for promotion. When I had chemo scheduled, it was written on the schedule for all to see. I was told that my performance sucked after my treatments.( I am on a maintence treatment that does not affect me and in remission). I was written up for "performance issues" and attendance ( i missed 3 days in a year) and others whose attendance was worse were never written up. Others who had actual performance issues were not written up. I have evidence in the form of pictures and documentation.
To calculate damages, more info is needed. What is your claim? Have you lost wages, if so how much? Have you lost benefits, if so which ones? You won't get punitive damages in an EEOC mediation. You should contact an attorney to assist you. Most times, an attorney can get you what is fair and get your former employer to pay your attorney. Many employment law attorneys take discrimination cases at no cost to the client. The EEOC is only one option. A demand letter and negotiations by your attorney and the company or its attorney is usually more beneficial since you have an advocate for you instead of the EEOC which is a neutral entity. 949-481-6909.Ask a similar question
I agree that you should seek out legal representation. Your chances of prevailing will be much greater than if you continue alone.

You REALLY should consider retaining representation at this point. Why jeopardize your case by trying to handle it on your own?Ask a similar question
You have a lot riding on the EEOC process and no one on Avvo can possibly give you the detailed information you need to effectively move forward. What I can tell you is that EEOC mediators handles cases in various ways – not all of them helpful to the employee. Know that just because the mediator asked you to submit a proposal, it doesn't mean the employer already agreed to mediate. And know that as a lay person, you are not in the best position to know the many posible options for settlement. You don't know how strong your case is on the merits. You don't know how much clout you have. All of this is critical to valuing a case.
No one can tell you how much your case is worth without knowing what happened, the employer's response, if and how you were harmed, your potential compensation package, and much, much more.
In nearly every case, you need your own attorney for employment litigation, mediation or settlement. Regardless of whether you are in your state agency or the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) www.eeoc.gov, the agency is not your representative. A mediator, settlement officer, investigator or other representative for the agency has one client – the government. Some agency representatives are great and will do their best to protect you rights even though they are not your advocate. Some agency representatives stink and care more about closing the case than they do about the person who filed the charge.
Because the agency has a particular mission and because it is not representing you, if it turns out your interests and those of the agency clash, the agency representative is required to make sure the agency's goals are carried out, not yours.
Also, the agency will only consider issues relevant to laws the agency enforces, such as discrimination laws. It will not consider such things as employer liability under wage and hour laws, mutuality in a settlement agreement, circumstances under which you might have to return the money, the language of a settlement agreement (which could have all kinds of "gotchas" that the agency doesn't notice or doesn't deal with), and more.
In addition, agency representatives most often handle low-value cases because that is what ends up in their offices. They handle high-value cases far less frequently, and even less frequently handle high-value cases where the charging party doesn't have an attorney. If you show up without an attorney, the agency rep may interpret your case as low-value, even if it isn't. Of course the agency representative may learn the value of your case during the process, but why start off with such a large obstacle?
Similarly, without an attorney, the employer probably won't take you or your case seriously and may be able to take advantage of you. No one is watching your back if you don't have your own attorney.
Consider that the employer most likely has an attorney or has consulted with its attorney. Even if the employer doesn't have an attorney, it usually has human resources personnel who have been down this route before and know far better than you do how to use the system to its own advantage.
It is nearly always the case that a charging party will do better overall with an attorney, even taking into consideration the attorney's fees portion of the recovery.

Management consulting in Canada is a high-growth industry that is benefiting greatly from Canada's strong and steady economic growth. Consistent with a rising demand, management consulting in Canada is continuing to grow. In 2007, management consulting approached the $10 billion mark, and is expected to increase by 5.5 percent to reach over $11 billion by 2010. There are various Canadian initiatives that assist U.S. management consulting organizations access the Canadian market.
Management consulting provides objective information and guidance to clients on a wide variety of management and general business issues such as strategic and organizational planning; financial planning and budgeting; marketing objectives and policies; human resource policies, practices and planning and executive search services. Management Consulting Services generally fall into the following categories:
1. General management consulting
2. Financial management consulting
3. Marketing management consulting
4. Human resources management consulting
5. Production management consulting
6. Public relation services
7. Agrology, agronomy and farm management consulting services
Market Demand
In 2007, the total management consulting market reached a record high of $10 billion dollars and is expected to continuing growing of the coming years. There has been a steady grown in this industry since 2001, when there were approximately 41,000 management consulting service suppliers providing $5.7 billion worth of services to the Canadian market. This growth is a result of Canada's strong dollar and strong economic growth as well as organizations pursuing growth agendas and increased government spending. In 2001, exports of management consulting services were estimated at $595 million, while imports were estimated at $454 million. Today, these numbers are substantially higher as developments in the Canadian market tend to parallel those in the global market, and both are now rebounding after several years of slow growth. Most of the major international consulting practices are represented in Canada. Opportunities also exist for highly specialized sole practitioners and small and medium-sized niche practices. Small companies can maximize their potential by offering in-depth knowledge in specific interest areas.
From 2001 to 2007, approximately 70 percent of all public and private sector organizations in Canada have used the services of a management consultant at least once. Two thirds of consultants in Canada are employed by firms with more than 100 employees. Some 28 percent of consultants work in organizations with less than 20 employees, and many of these people are considered sole practioners. Recently, the 30 largest consulting firms in Canada accounted for a 61 percent share of Canadian industry revenues.
Demand for services in the private and public sectors is outpacing the global market growth rates. Canada's consulting marketplace is fragmented with a rise in mid-size management consultancies, and a dramatic surge in leading Business Advisory Firms (BAS).

Twitter is like my surrogate partner.
For the most part of the week, I spend more time tweeting and trending on @newscomauHQ (be sure to follow, you'll love us) than I do talking. And knowing how much my mouth moves, it's kind of a big deal. Sign of the times perhaps?
While on my morning scroll through Twitter's news feed today, my eyes fixed on the word Christmas. It was trending.
Today we celebrate two months until Saint Nick rolls down our chimneys once again and while I welcome the silly season with open arms, it hit me just how quickly the weeks/months/year flies.
What happened to Tuesday? Hello, hump day? Are you out there?
Albert Einstein once said, "time is an illusion", but here in news.com.au-land, we are governed by the clock. By breaking news, by original content and by listening and responding to our audience.
Its five-star tourist resorts, once known for yielding top dollar, are now broke, bust and bankrupt.
"This story really resonated with readers in light of the ongoing debate about how expensive Aussie hotels are, with many shunning local breaks to live it up for less overseas," said news.com.au's travel editor, Kate Schneider.
"Australia faces a range of challenges when it comes to luxury hotels, due to a combination of high labour and construction costs, the strong Aussie dollar and – according to experts – service that can't match that offered in other locations such as Asia.
"The Queensland resorts featured in the story were, unfortunately, particularly hard-hit by the financial crisis and natural disasters."
"Why would you bother. You get so much more for your dollar overseas. Is it any wonder that some of these resorts go broke."
"Here in Ukraine no one knows about Australia as a country of tourist resorts. Thailand and Bali are most known from your region," said Alexandr Arykh.
"We have a friend from Canada over at the moment … she can't believe how expensive everything is here," said Brett Schuhmacher.
But there's still hope, international chums.
According to Resort Brokers Australia managing director Ian Crooks, his company had seen a 35 per cent increase in resort, hotels and management rights settlements on last year.
"There's no doubt we have some amazing luxury hotels," said Schneider.
"Just last week a Queensland hotel was named the world's best by prestigious Conde Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards. It was called 'flawless'.
A tongue-in-cheek look at what it takes to be a parent had everyone talking, confirming the notion that mummy bloggers are bigger than ever.
A 'test' designed to find out if you're ready to have kids had you in stitches, so much so it was shared by close to 40,000 readers via the news.com.au Facebook page.
Test 4: Dressing Small Children
1. Buy a live octopus and a string bag.
2. Attempt to put the octopus into the string bag so that no arms hangout.
Time Allowed: 5 minutes.
Or this?
Test 7: Conversations with children
Repeat everything you say at least 5 times.
"Tears, absolutely spot on," posted Si of Sans Souci from NSW.
"I have to wake up my wife to read this, she'll appreciate the early morning wake up call."
But folks, if you thought this was bad, some words of wisdom from Josh of Surry Hills, NSW.
"As soon as they say 'Daddy, I love you', you forget about all of this. P.S. Puberty is worse. Much, much worse!"
Admittedly, the story's overwhelming success caught the news.com.au team a little by surprise; but national lifestyle and entertainment editor Melissa Overman put it down to the enjoyment of shared experiences.
"It's been a big week for hard news and when things get tough it's nice to know we can all take a moment to laugh at ourselves, and this is exactly what the viral blog allowed us to do.
"Being a parent is extremely rewarding but also hard work and fun and this blog highlighted all of those things which made it such a popular story."

While Queensland braces for extreme bushfire conditions this weekend, it seems these strong winds and sweltering conditions are just the beginning of one of our worst bushfire seasons in years.
But it's not just the fires we've got to worry about, as highlighted by a devilishly cute graphic (that you all loved), thanks to news.com.au resident graphic designer Soraya Asmar.
We don't want to alarm you, but those slithering serpents – yes, snakes, we're talking about you – are out in drones from the bush to the 'burbs.
Oh, and I forgot to mention jellyfish, sharks and mosquitoes too. Eek!
"We thought heading into summer we'd take a look at Australia's dangerous side. Nature is part of our identity, and we came up with a map to plot out the hot spots," said journalist Chris Paine.
"We couldn't cover absolutely everything, and this was duly pointed out by the readers. No crocodiles? No road toll? No Tasmania?"
And as '1 Aussie of Brissie' pointed out, we overlooked "the most dangerous of all":
We really felt for Lowly Receptionist, who posted this comment in response to our story on office kitchen nightmares:
"I kind of resent the "Office Control Freak" label. I'm not a control freak at all but as the Receptionist it befalls me to be the Queen of the Dishwasher each day, which in turn led me to being the Queen of the Bench Wiping and Queen of the Fridge Cleaning.
"I have given up sending out the odd email and sticking up notes in the kitchen. Instead, I've stopped cleaning up after people. No one likes it, it's annoying and I hate seeing the kitchen a mess, but I'm not a Kitchen Hand.I have a job to do like everyone else.
"Now excuse me while I go and fish some used teabags out of the sink."
We can hear the collective sighs of fellow workers around the nation. You're not alone!

Details to Be Worked Out by Nov. 24 Deadline for Iran Nuclear Talks
Nuclear talks between Iran and six world powers resumed Tuesday in Vienna with just a few days to meet a November 24 deadline. A final nuclear deal would see Iran offer assurances that it couldn't quickly pursue a path to a nuclear bomb, in exchange for a phased lifting of tight international sanctions on Tehran. Diplomats on both sides say gaps have narrowed in recent months but there are still significant differences getting the way of a deal. These are the principal gaps:
The toughest issue to resolve is the future size of Iran's nuclear-fuel production capacity, which involves the enrichment of uranium using sophisticated centrifuge machines. The six-power group has accepted that Tehran can continue some enrichment for civilian purposes but wants strict caps, which would require Iran to disable or destroy parts of its nuclear infrastructure, leaving a few thousand centrifuges in place. Iran has said it could accept only a modest cut in fuel-production capacity and insists most of the 10,000 centrifuges currently operating shouldn't be taken out of action.
Iran's main objective in talks is to end the vast array of sanctions that have built up over the last decade in response to its nuclear program. The U.S. and EU have slapped Tehran with unilateral sanctions and it also faces restrictions imposed by the United Nations Security Council. Diplomats say Iran has stepped up pressure recently for quick relief from U.S., European and UN sanctions. The six-power group say Iran will win significant upfront sanctions easing but some restrictions could remain for years and would only be scrapped when Iran has shown a track record of compliance.
The U.S. and its European allies say Iran must address long-standing questions about its past nuclear work, which many western officials suspect was aimed at developing nuclear-weapons know-how. Despite promising cooperation a year ago, Iran has only partially addressed one of the 12 sets of questions raised by the UN atomic agency in 2011 and continues to deny access to key sites, scientists and documents. Western officials say any agreement must bind Tehran to provide critical information about its past work.
Iranian officials have said they could accept stringent restrictions on their nuclear activities for a few years, with Iran's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif saying in New York in September he was "willing to live" with an accord lasting less than 10 years. U.S. and European officials have talked about an agreement lasting some 20 years but said the stronger the limits on Iran's nuclear activities, the more flexible they can be on the duration.
The question that could prove most relevant over the coming days is what happens if the two sides fail to reach a deal, or at least the clear outline of a deal, by November 24. Both sides say they haven't discussed an extension of negotiations but few believe Washington or Tehran are prepared to end the diplomacy. However any effort to extend a deadline for what would be a second time faces real challenges. In Iran, it could embolden conservative forces skeptical of talks. In the U.S., lawmakers are threatening to impose new sanctions on Iran, which could scuttle the talks.

Gardai appeal after man killed in fatal road collision
Gardai are appealing to the public for witnesses to a fatal collision which occurred early this morning.
Officers in Bray are investigating the single fatal road traffic collision which occurred at Kilmullen Lane, Newtownmountkennedy, this morning 7.50a.m.
Gardai were alerted just before 8pm by ambulance control that a car had collided with a ditch and that a male aged 58 was seriously injured.
There was no one else in the car at the time of the collision. Emergency services were called and the man was treated at scene.
However, he died and was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident by a local doctor.
His body was removed to the morgue at Loughlinstown Hospital. A post mortem will be carried out tomorrow morning.
The road was closed to facilitate a Garda Forensic Collision Examination, but has since reopened, a spokesperson said.
Gardaí are appealing for witnesses who may have been in the area at the time of the collision or any person who came upon the scene to contact them at Bray Garda Station on 01 6665300, The Garda Confidential Line 1800 666111 or any Garda Station.

5 Results
The only covariates that turn out to have a significant influence on the dependent variable in all equations are the mothers age at first birth and the interbirth interval, both with the expected negative sign of the regression coefficient. Since we are primarily concerned about the effects of the sex composition, we do not report the estimated coefficients of independent variables other than for the sex-combination variables in both models, which are displayed in [Table 2].
The findings of Model 1 show that in every third analyzed country there is no gender preference at all. These countries are Finland, France, western Germany, Norway, Poland, and Portugal. In the other countries (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, eastern Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland), a couple is significantly more likely to progress -or express an intention to progress- to parity three, if their previous two children are of the same sex, than in the case of a mixed sex combination. This points to a preference for a sex-mix. For Belgium and eastern Germany, however, the coefficient of the sex-composition variable is significant on the 10%-level only.
The subsequent analysis (Model 2) produces more detailed results, which basically confirm the findings of our first model. In most cases with a significant sex-composition variable in Model 1, the coefficients for the sex-combination dummies used in Model 2 are either both significant (Austria, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Slovenia, Spain, and Switzerland), or -if only one turned out to be significant- are not significantly different from each other (Belgium, eastern Germany, and Sweden). All this supports the findings from older studies that (if there is any gender preference at all) couples prefer to have at least one child of each sex.
In contrast to Model 1, however, France turns out have a significant and positive effect on the girl-girl dummy, which would indicate a preference for boys. The coefficients of the sex-composition dummies do not differ significantly, though. Therefore we keep our classification of France as a country with no gender preferences. Also inconsistent with Model 1 is the Portuguese girl preference. Here we even find a significant difference between the coefficients of boy-boy and girl-girl. A highly significant girl preference is also found in the Czech Republic, and in Lithuania. The latter three countries are the only ones with significant differences between the sex-combination dummies (on either the 5%- or 10%-level of significance).
Taking together the results of our two models, we find a geographical pattern of gender preferences, which -contrary to our presuppositions- does not suggest a particular regional grouping [see Figure 1]. A hypothesis along the lines that more traditional societies tend to prefer boys (Southern Europe), while more progressive societies tend to prefer girls or a sex-mix (Northern Europe), cannot be supported by our findings. Although a particular regional pattern with regard to fertility levels can be found in Europe [7], which is influenced by different socioeconomic conditions and family policies, the pattern of gender preferences we find in our paper is unlikely to be caused by differences in these factors. While socioeconomic conditions and family policies are important determinants of the fertility level, their effect on childbearing is usually gender neutral. A similar argument holds for many other socioeconomic incentives that affect the overall desire for children. Moreover, the socioeconomic incentives discussed in [Section 2], which can lead parents to desire offspring of a particular sex, have diminished in contemporary European societies. We therefore suppose that gender preferences may vary because of differences in cultural and social institutions across European countries.
Unfortunately, the social and cultural institutions that may lead parents to prefer different sex-compositions of their children cannot be analyzed in greater detail with the data available in the FFS. The investigation of these factors, however, deserves future research efforts, and necessitates detailed, possibly qualitative, and country-specific studies.
In addition to the analysis above, we investigated, whether the sex of the first child had any influence on the parents decision -or intention- to have a second child. It turned out that only in Portugal (on the 5%-level) and in eastern as well as western Germany (on the 10%-level), there is a significant effect of this variable. Consistent with our above findings, girl preference is evident in Portugal. Interestingly, there is again a clear difference between eastern and western Germany: while in western Germany having a boy as first born decreases the parents desire to progress to parity two, the reverse effect is true for eastern Germany [Note 4].

It'd be awesome to have a great big roster like this. Heck, if we had a large roster like this then I wouldn't even mind only having 4 abilities per character like MUA2. After a player beats both perspectives in the story though he should be able to play through again, but mix and match the roster of both sides.

It won't happen for awhile if it does, Capcom owns the rights to Marvel games right now and not Activision so they can't make a game based on Marvel characters.
Unless of course Capcom made a similar game with the Marvel license but that isn't likely.

kingekinge posted...It won't happen for awhile if it does, Capcom owns the rights to Marvel games right now and not Activision so they can't make a game based on Marvel characters.
He is right though. That's why the dlc had to be taken down. The marvel character rights are now at capcom. Also why no more new copies are being pressed by activision. Until the right expire at capcom, sadly no ultimate alliance 3 :(. Also capcom lost the marvel right after marvel vs capcom 2 and got them back for part 3. Look it up online before you just assume someone is wrong.
yes it won't be happened about Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 for awhile.... Activisions Community Manager Dan Amrich (OneOfSwords) gave some insight about a possible 3rd game...
Not in the near future, due to licensing rights. The Marvel Universe license is only given to one company at any given time. Activision created MUA with it while they had it, but now Capcom has it (which is how they were able to make the very awesome Marvel vs Capcom 3 games in 2011). So until that license changes hands again, there wont be another chapter of MUA. (This license shift is also why there was so much confusion about and a short window for the DLC for MUA2.)
all-around awesome guy who wrote a book about reviewing video games for a living. It stated that, at the time, Capcom did have the license for making Marvel games. This is until The Amazing Spider-Man announced during Spikes Video Game Awards in 2011 and will be published by Activision. Then there was news about a domain registered by Ubisoft and Marvel at AvengersBattleForEarth.com. No real idea where that will take us.
With the recent release of the film Marvels The Avengers, now would seem like a very good time to bring Marvel Ultimate Alliance back to the spotlight. Alas, there still has not been any official news about this, and judging by how average Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 was, it might not be a priority.
Nevertheless, the interest seems to be there. Itll be interesting if something does come out of all the hype that has been going on with the Marvel universe. I enjoyed the original MUA when I played it with a few buddies. I did not think it was the most fantastic game out there but it was great to be able to play all these different Marvel characters and see what kind of unique attacks and abilities that they have. Some of the RPG growth elements were fun.
so... I'm still optimist there will be Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 anytime with surprising positive news later...
and it is my Playable Characters and Villains for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 what I want

Kristen Stewart Discusses Fame in New Interview, Admits 'I'm Not That Smooth' (PHOTO)
Speaking to Vogue UK, the 22-year-old actress describes her struggles to deal with life in the spotlight, admitting, "I'm not that smooth."
"People expect it to be easy because there you are, out there, doing the thing that you want and making lots of money out of it," she said. "But, you know, I'm not that smooth. I can get clumsy around certain people."
"Like if I were to sit down and think, 'OK, I'm really famous, how am I going to conduct myself in public?' I wouldn't know who that person would be!" she continued. "It would be a lot easier if I could, but I can't."
Stewart — who donned a gorgeous floral-printed dress by Gucci for the Vogue UK cover — has kept relatively silent since the scandal first broke in July.
Pattinson, meanwhile, had to face the music a few weeks ago while promoting his new movie Cosmopolis. Among the highlights: endearing, yet slightly awkward, interviews on The Daily Show and Good Morning America, which you can watch here and here.
Later this year, Stewart will make two big-screen appearances, in On the Road and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part II.
The October issue of Vogue UK hits stands later this month.

You Get What You Pay For
on 10/19/2008
This item was inexpensive and it shows. Though it states clearly that it is for my model of Dell. Well, it DOES work,but something is wrong with the tip that goes into the laptop...it doesn't quite get a good connection. I have to continuously mess with it, twisting and turning it trying to find a position where the computer is actually on a/c power. It is annoying and frustrating and I won't buy another. Guess there was a reason for the price being so low...it just doesn't quite do the job.

By Rhonda Abrams, USA TODAY
It's January, and you know what that means for small businesses – health care insurance renewal time and time for our annual huge cost increases. That's why I'm eagerly waiting for the new national health care law to kick in. And why I've got a loud message to new members of Congress: Hands off the health care law!
Leaders of the new Republican-led Congress have announced that one of their first votes will be to repeal the health care law. But no matter your political affiliation, if you run a small business, are self-employed, or are over 40 years of age, you should desperately want to keep it.
Why? Because small businesses and the self-employed have the hardest time getting health insurance and pay the most when they get it. If you're over 40 and lose your job, without the new health care law, you'll have a terrible time getting affordable health insurance if you become self-employed.
That's why you should want to keep the health care law. It offers:
ON TWITTER: Follow Rhonda Abrams
• The best chance for small businesses and the self-employed to get affordable health insurance – through health insurance exchanges.
• The best chance for entrepreneurs to be able to start new businesses and create jobs – by eliminating exclusions due to pre-existing conditions, and the exchanges.
Take my business. This year, my health insurance cost increased a whopping 29%. Last year, I had a 20% increase. Yes – more than 50% in two years compounded! Oh – you may say – my insurance is expensive because we have a so-called "Cadillac" plan. Nope – my own health care plan provides little more than catastrophic coverage; I can't afford anything better. And it's not because my employees cost insurance companies a lot — we're an unusually healthy group.
Politicians or insurance companies may claim price increases like mine are the result of "Obamacare." Bullhockey! It happens every year.
Why do I – and you – face such huge premium increases? Because health insurance companies don't want small businesses. We're too risky – there aren't enough people in a small group to even out the risk. If only one person in a small business gets sick, insurance companies lose all the profit they've made on our few healthy employees. The way they get rid of us? Continually raising our prices.
That's why the health insurance exchanges – which will begin in 2014 under the new law – make sense. They enable small businesses to come together in a much, much larger pool of people, lowering the risk for insurers. They create a marketplace where insurance companies openly compete, lowering costs.
The new health exchanges will also make it possible to compare prices. Something that's virtually impossible now.
The self-employed have it even worse than small employers. They can be – and typically are – turned down for any pre-existing condition, or the premiums are so sky-high as to make insurance unrealistic. Under the new law, however, an individual can't be turned down for pre-existing conditions, and they also could turn to the health insurance exchanges.
Congress may say it wants to "reform" rather than just repeal the new law. Watch out for tinkering that really guts the law. In particular, beware of:
1. Allowing health care exchanges to cross state lines. Insurance companies will move to the state with the least beneficial provisions for consumers and businesses – and you'll get stuck with the highest rates and lowest benefits. Just look at your credit card bill. Once credit card companies were allowed to cross state lines, they moved to states without caps on interest rates, like South Dakota. When you pay a 25% interest rate on your credit card, that's where your bill comes from. Go check. I'll wait.
2. Eliminating the individual mandate. The new law requires everyone to have health insurance. This is the only way to reduce risk, costs, and get the support of insurance companies. Don't like the government forcing you to get insurance? Then stop driving your car. Virtually every state already requires you to buy auto insurance.
As I write out my huge health insurance check, I'm eagerly awaiting the health insurance exchanges that begin in 2014 and the other provisions of the health care law. So, Congress – keep your hands off!

I have to say, this season was way better than One World, except for the finale. If they kept Abi-Maria I would have liked the final episode. I didn't really like the fact Denise won, but she did. I hope the Caramoan is a step up from this season, but I liked the season in a way.
This tribe would have been my favourite tribe even if they stayed strong and didn't loose every single challenge. If was sad to see them loose because some of them deserved to be there.
Denise: I have to say Congratulations on winning but I didn't like her. She seemed okayish but in my opinion she did nothing. Sorry Denise lovers. I think if she kept her mouth shut about Abi being the most unlikable castaway on the island, it would be more entertaining.
Malcolm: Favourite (The New Zealand way of spelling it) player of the season. I liked his strategy but he should have just lied to Denise. I can't believe he is a freak when a puzzle comes up, I haven't seen anyone complete a puzzle that fast. I think his downfall was kinda like Ozzy's elimination, the last challenge cost him heaps.
Russell: Idiot, he should have just taken the leadership role. It didn't ruin his gameshot last time, why decline it this time. I think he could have made the merge if he stepped up as the leader.
Angie: This girl is awesome. I think she makes good tv, if only she lasted longer the season would have been cooler. I wonder what would happen if you put a final four consisting of her, Abi, Zane and Dawson? And the final tribal consisting of Abi, Angie and Zane. That would be hilarious.
Roxy: I didn't see much of her. I think I would have disliked her.
Zane: Classic, I think we saw too little of him. I really loved his onion statement, LOL. I think if he just told everyone to vote out Russell he would have been fine. So basically he is an idiot, but the next time he will play, he will be a little bit smarter, if there is a next time.
I didn't really like this tribe, they weren't as awesome as the other two tribes. I don't care if they didn't loose any immunity challenges. After the merge they went down in numbers just like Kalabaw.
Lisa: Go home, you have aleady had your time as a star. She was boring, and I can't believe the moment Justice came to her he just said sister slowly, it was a joke. I think she is quite nieve for a fifty year old women. I hope she never comes back.
Michael: I think Michael doesn't think with his head most of the time. If he was thinking strategically about the game he would have voted out Denise when Abi was sent home, that was the mistake he made.
Abi-Maria: I think she knew what she was doing in the game, but she never thought about how the other castaways thought about her. If she didn't overeact over the clue spilling out of RC's bag, the game would have been better, but she was good tv.
Pete: I think this guy is a wannabe. But he showed during the game he has learned from his mistakes and he sees the positives in it. But he showed how much he learned from Russell, and I wouldn't mind seeing him come back.
Artis: I didn't really like him that much, nor did he actually do anything. I don't have much to say about Artis.
RC: At first I liked her, but when she was voted off she couldn't get it out of her head. I don't like her laugh, it's annoying and I don't think she will return. So really she needed to just ignore what happened and just stayed in the tribe so she could have been safe.
I didn't mind Kalabaw but if they received Malcolm I think the tribe would have been stronger. This tribe was okay but after the merge they didn't stick together.
Carter: He's a cool guy. If he paid more attention on what was happening on the day he was voted out, he would have been fine.
Jonathan: He was okay this season. I really wanted him to talk garbage during the season, but he didn't. It was cool seeing him win immunity. He was the only Returnee who took the game seriously, if he didn't go running off on the first day of the season he wouldn't of had a massive as target despite the fact he played the game three times.
Jeff: I think if he teamed up with Penner they could do some terrible damage. If he tied the votes between RC and Pete I think Pete would have gone home. He didn't think about stuff half the time but oh well. If there is a next time for him he would do awesome despite the fact he has earned $60,000,000 through baseball.
Katie: She seemed cool, I would have liked it if she stayed a little bit longer, and even made it to the jury but she didn't. I hope she returns for a second chance but that might not happen but oh well. If Carter and Jeff voted out Penner the game would have turned differently.
Dawson: First of all LOL. I like how she cheers the tribe up, but her problem was she was the in your face kind of girl, especially to Jeff. It's was really funny when she was voted off she kissed Jeff, and it was the same at the reunion. And her final words were classic, I wouldn't mind if she returned but I don't think Jeff Probst would like that.
Dana: I didn't really like her that much. She seemed like Denise in a way which I don't like. I feel sorry when she was evacuated but that's how rough the game is.
Final Thoughts
Overall, this game was a fresh new season and I like how there was no Pagonging this season, horray. I hope the Caramoan is a step up from this season but this season was cool. I think this season didn't need returnees because they weren't in control.

LAW firm mfg Solicitors has played a key role in helping a new educational academy near Hereford to open its doors to students for the first time.
Led by partner and corporate expert Sarah Astbury, the firm advised on the recent launch of the Robert Owen Vocational School based at the former Holme Lacy Primary School.
The new school, which is a not-for-profit co-operative organisation, has now opened its doors with mfg providing advice to ensure a smooth opening.
Ms Astbury, who fronted the project, oversaw elements such as establishing the academy's governing and charity documents, leading discussions with the Department of Education, and providing training guides for the new governors.
"It has been really rewarding to be able to work on such a worthy project that will do so much for the future of young people, especially in places like Hereford and Leominster." she said.
"The school is now providing a flexible and balanced programme of general and vocational education for people aged 14 and over who come from a diverse range of rural backgrounds.
"We were able to offer assistance on the funding agreement, responsibilities, as well as helping to set up the school's governing body and a whole host of intricate governance and constitutional agreements."
A total of 30 GCSE and A Level students, aged between 14 and 19, make up the initial intake of pupils at the school, which plans to progress their intellectual, cultural and personal development, as well as presenting them with effective vocational work.
Chris Morgan, secretary of Robert Owen Academies Trust, said the law firm offered expert advice in several fields, including property and employment law.
The ethos of the Robert Owen Group is built around education, training and regeneration.
The school also runs teacher training programmes and offers funding to teach skills, such as engineering.
It is currently in temporary accommodation at the former Holme Lacy Primary School but there are plans to move to a permanent, modern building at the former Hereford High School for Boys site in Hereford's Blackfriars Street later this year.
Builders, architects and on-site project managers are currently working to complete the site ready for the school to move in during September.
