When it comes to openness and privacy, Google+ and Facebook are different beasts
This article was written by Douglas Idugboe and originally published on Smedio.
Google launched Google+ to cash in on Facebook's privacy blues. And till date, things have gone as per plan. Most Google+ users have liked the concept of direct and extended circles. In fact, several technology experts believe that privacy holds the key to the high-stakes Facebook – Google+ battle.
To be honest, I believe that Google+ holds a definite late mover advantage. Google knows the mistakes that Facebook made and there are plenty of lessons to be learnt by its own social media debacles – read Google Wave and OpenSocial.
There's no denial that privacy is a crucial aspect of any social network. Many people view the Facebook vs. Google+ debate as openness vs. privacy. In my opinion, it's more about 'privacy done wrong' vs. 'privacy done right'.
Privacy Policies
Facebook has more than 750 million users. But how many of them have ever read the Facebook privacy policy? I would be surprised if the number even reaches one million. And there's good reason why most people don't care about it – its way too long at nearly 6,000 words.
In contrast, Google+ privacy policy is as simple as it gets slightly more than 1,000 words with a no non-sense approach. The 'Acceptable Behavior' section is equally crisp and well defined. However, if you read the fine print, the policy mentions that Google will record…
"record information about your activity — such as posts you comment on and the other users with whom you interact — in order to provide you and other users with a better experience on Google services"
In my opinion, that's pretty open ended and considering Google's past legal tussles over privacy, the search giant would be well advised to clear the air sooner than later.
As a marketing veteran, I have to admit that Google+ has managed to hit Facebook where it's hurts the most – closed user groups. Several social media experts warned that Facebook will sooner or later need to introduce the concept of closed user groups. Though Facebook provides fairly elaborate privacy controls, I strongly believe they are still too sophisticated and need to be simplified.
In contrast, the concept of circles is intuitive. You instantaneously know what information is available to whom.
Google says Google+ will be ad-free, at least for now. In contrast, businesses on Facebook thrive because of advertising. From a consumer perspective, there's no one size fits all rule. Some users see it as a convenience when they see ads related to their preferences. In contrast, others see it as an invasion of privacy.
Google claims Facebook follows a walled garden approach to privacy. In contrast, Google+ is a social media layering on top of Google's online infrastructure that includes mail, chat, video and several other value additions.
Do you think the simplified privacy controls in Google+ will hurt Facebook? Is it high time for Facebook to launch closed user groups? Please share your opinion by leaving a comment.

They have a point. Google stores a ton of illegal files but no one is filing a lawsuit against them. Ugh.
While the RIAA has waged a full-on legal assault against individual file-sharers, the MPAA has instead chosen to go after individual web sites. In 2006, the motion picture industry trade group filed copyright infringement lawsuits against a number of BitTorrent sites, including TorrentSpy and isoHunt. TorrentSpy lost, thanks to its admins' willful destruction of evidence, but isoHunt is fighting back. A recent filing in the case opposes the MPAA's motion for summary judgment, arguing that isoHunt is just another search engine.
"There are hundreds of public torrent sites, some limited to a specific subject matter, others general aggregators like isoHunt, who like Google, try to cover as much of the Internet as possible," reads isoHunt's filing. "The essential functions performed at a torrent site are also performed at a comprehensive search site like Google or Yahoo!."
isoHunt then makes a series of comparisons to search engines, inviting the judge to visit Google himself to compare. The torrent site only gives users a "means to obtain content," again like Google, but not the content itself. All isoHunt does is collect data, index it, cache content, and add user-uploaded .torrent files to its database. Any actual copyright infringement occurs only on the part of the user once he or she launches a BitTorrent client.
The torrent site accuses the MPAA of playing fast and loose with the truth about the BitTorrent download process in order to build its case against. Instead of occupying a "central position or power of control," isoHunt and other torrent sites have "no meaningful existence other than through collective existence." Every function performed throughout the course of a BitTorrent download or upload is dispersed, and no single site has any "power of control."
Saying that a BitTorrent site is responsible for infringement is ridiculous, according to isoHunt. Using the odd illustration of a "Gun and Boot Store," the site's admins argue that they are no more responsible for copyright infringement than the owner of the hypothetical firearms and footwear outlet would be if someone bought a gun and pair of boots there, and subsequently robbed someone.
In making its case against isoHunt, the MPAA relies heavily on the famous MGM v. Grokster decision, in which the Supreme Court held that anyone who distributes a device with the intention that it will be used for copyright infringement can be liable for subsequent third-party infringements. That ruling is irrelevant, argues isoHunt, because it only applies to "products" and "devices," not search engines or "sites that manifest hyperlinks to dot torrent files." If that standard were used, search engines like Google or Yahoo would be liable under the MGM v. Grokster ruling if any of their search results led to copyrighted content.
It's impossible to know how the judge will rule, but, in order to prevail, isoHunt will have to convince the judge that it is the functional equivalent of a search engine. That might be a tough argument to make, since isoHunt's primary purpose is to collect an index of and links to one particular type of content. In contrast, search engines are largely data-agnostic—Google's stated intent is to index all of the world's data.
No matter which way the ruling goes, this could prove to be an important milestone for the MPAA's fight against BitTorrent sites. The MPAA has a few notches in its bedpost, but those have come from settlements which resulted in shuttered sites, or, in the case of TorrentSpy, resulted from malfeasance on the part of the defendants. And even if isoHunt convinces the judge to rule in its favor on the MPAA's motion for summary judgment, the case will still be headed for a jury trial.

[[caption-width-right:228:[[TallDarkAndHandsome Tall, dark, handsome]] and filthy rich. Oh, and he wants your ass. [[LampshadedDoubleEntendre Literally.]]]]
->''"Do you remember those old electric train sets that used to be popular forever ago? The ones that went through the town, the forest, and then finally into the tunnel in the mountain? Yeah, the seme is the train."''
-->-- '''[[Website/DesuDesBrigade Vixen]]'''
A character associated with the [[BoysLoveGenre Yaoi genre]], the Seme makes up the "giving" half of the relationship and is conventionally more masculine than the {{Uke}}, almost always signified by him being OneHeadTaller and more "handsome" than "cute" in looks. If he wears glasses, they'll probably be thin-rimmed so it will make him look [[StoicSpectacles sophisticated, intelligent]] and/or [[ScaryShinyGlasses sinister]] (not to mention a lot more [[BespectacledBastardBoyfriend brutal]]). The Seme is often the aggressive pursuer in a relationship, and in the rare cases where the {{Uke}} takes up that role, the Seme will still [[IncrediblyLamePun come out on top]] when it comes to the lovemaking. Sometimes violently. Can be a BastardBoyfriend.
The Seme is typically designed to embody what the female audience is thought to desire in a boyfriend, from the [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys hot bad boy]] with a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold heart of gold]] to the [[TheStoic ice king]] whose heart can only be [[DefrostingIceQueen tha]][[{{Kuudere}} wed]] by ThePowerOfLove to the KnightInShiningArmor who's always there to [[RescueRomance rescue]] or protect his beloved. See BoysLoveNotes for a list of standard seme and uke types. One of the attractions of Boys Love works, however, is that since the uke is male, and thus a legitimate object of desire, it's easier for the female reader to place herself in the dominant role than it is in a heterosexual romance.
The basic Seme personality types also crop up in more mainstream romance mangas, usually paired off with an innocent female in the {{Uke}} role. The more aggressive type of Seme is similar to the heroes of bodice-ripper style romances in the West, and probably found around the world.
In yuri, or GirlsLove, an OneeSama or ButchLesbian who is openly attracted to someone can also take this role. Ironically, a female character who acts or looks openly masculine is actually ''less'' likely to be the seme, since this is usually equated with tomboys and immaturity. The OneeSama is likely to be more aggressive and mature, leaning towards TheVamp or FemmeFatale in appearance.
Interestingly, "[[PhenotypeStereotype foreign characters]]" tend to be seme. This might be the literal use of the OneHeadTaller rule, [[EveryoneLooksSexierIfFrench sheer exoticism for fanservice]], or the common {{shoujo}}/{{josei}} stereotype that Western men are more aggressive and masculine (and thus seme-like) whereas Japanese men are more beautiful and refined (and thus uke-like).
By the way; there is no "N" in Seme. That is [[SomethingCompletelyDifferent something completely different]].
And for all you [[GameOfNerds Baseball fans]] keeping score: he's the [[UnusualEuphemism pitcher]].
Note that this usage of the word originated in the BoysLoveGenre fandom; among "regular" Japanese people "seme" just means "attack". It is used commonly in some martial arts like kendo when referring to the attitude of an attacker. Even Japanese gay men won't necessarily know the BL meaning of the term. Non-{{otaku}} English speakers won't know what it means at all. English-speaking gay men occasionally find the use of the term as a blanket replacement for the more general "top" out of the context of the BL genre obnoxious, feeling that [[GratuitousJapanese their native language has got that concept covered already, thank you]].
[[folder: Anime and Manga ]]
* Just about every BoysLove series. Just look for [[OneHeadTaller the taller guy]] ([[BespectacledBastardBoyfriend glasses optional]]). There are exceptions, though:
** Morinaga of ''Manga/TheTyrantFallsInLove'' is not only the younger and cuter partner, but a good-natured, long-suffering romantic who's put up with Souichi's temper and homophobia for years in the hope of having his feelings reciprocated someday. In fact, he would probably be the uke if Souichi wasn't so deeply in denial that Morinaga has to make almost all of the emotional and sexual advances.
*** Morinaga is, however, the taller one, and is built a little more muscularly.
** In ''The Prime Ministers Secret Diplomacy'' Yoshinaga holds an important position as the Japanese embassador of Thailand and is older and more sophiscated than Shiraishi who is a few ranks lower in the diplomatic service. However, Yoshinaga turns out to be the {{uke}} of the relationship leaving younger and much more sexually inexperienced Shiraishi to take on the {{seme}} role.
** In ''Manga/SeikimatsuDarling'' none of the men can decide which one should be the {{seme}}. Since their love is too "similar" they resolve to compete to see who gets to be the top. By the end of the {{OVA}} they are still unsure of how to solve the situation but seem willing to be the {{uke}} as long as [[IfItsYouItsOkay they can be together]].
** Any manga by [[http://www.mangafox.com/search/author/MISHIMA+Kazuhiko/ Mishima Kazuhiko]] will feature a young, short {{seme}} and a mature {{uke}}.
*** There is one exception in ''Puchi Puri(literally Little Prince)'' as [[spoiler:Atsushi eventually grow to be taller than Yuji 10 years later]].
** Some of [[http://www.mangafox.com/search/author/NAONO+BOHRA/ Naono Bohra]] consisted of shorter Seme and older Uke.
** The manga ''{{Manga/Seven Days}}''. Yuzuru is older, but Seryou is taller and black-haired, and tends to treat Yuzuru a bit like a girl when they're going out. However, Yuzuru is the colder one who demands (not always jokingly) that Seryou not cheat on him, while Seryou is the one who gets easily flustered, especially when it comes to anything sexual. The idea of Seme and Uke never comes up at all - there isn't even a clear 'pursuer' and 'pursued'.
* Both Asami and Feilong in the ''Manga/FinderSeries''. (Page picture.) Feilong is somewhat feminine-looking (being a LongHairedPrettyBoy), but he's 100% seme to Akihito. (There's hints he'd like to be uke to Asami, though.)
* Usami Akihiko from ''Manga/JunjouRomantica''.
* {{CLAMP}}'s [[BastardBoyfriend Seishirou Sakurazuka]] is ''very much'' the classic seme to long-suffering [[{{Uke}} Subaru Sumeragi]] with no exceptions. Seishirou is nine years older, he's TallDarkAndHandsome; he is the one who begins a MindGameShip with Subaru starting when [[{{Shotacon}} Subaru's ''a little nine year old boy'']]. Subaru remains utterly unaware that his very life is being bet upon until Seishirou finally and brutally reveals his true nature at the end of ''Manga/TokyoBabylon'' - albeit in a rather touchy-feely way. Not to mention as further shown in the follow-up, ''Manga/{{X1999}}'', that Seishirou is extremely possessive, still extremely powerful, still touchy-feely and sadistic. His sophisticated, sensual and AffablyEvil nature is a great counterpart to the gentle, beautiful and broken [[{{Uke}} Subaru]] in every way.
* In ''Manga/{{Genshiken}}'', Ogiue writes and draws [[BoysLove yaoi]] {{doujinshi}} about her fellow club members, casting Madarame as the passive {{uke}} and Sasahara as the aggressive {{seme}}. [[spoiler:Though she is mortified when Sasahara finds out, he accepts it as a work of art, not a projection on him.]]
-->[[spoiler:"But let me take this opportunity to show you just how aggressive I can be."]]
* Shizuma, an OneeSama type character from ''LightNovel/StrawberryPanic'', is a yuri version of the {{Seme}} archetype.
* Obviously, ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' could not go without referencing this - in the episode where Renge first appears and messes with the hosts' roles, the twins briefly debate her "casting". In the manga, Haruhi reads from Renge's script that although Hikaru seems to be in charge, Kaoru is more mature, and thus is the real seme. She doesn't get it, of course, but Honey seems to find it entertaining. Although the twins obviously can't fulfill the usual {{One Head Taller}} requirement.
* Komari's entire [[HaremGenre Harem]] in the GirlsLove {{Manga}} ''Manga/GokujouDrops''.
* Played with to an extent in ''{{Manga/Loveless}}'' because Soubi is both taller and older than Ritsuka, but Ritsuka is the more serious of the two, requiring Soubi to "open his heart to love" despite most people identifying him as the uke.
* [[BigBad Gauron]] from ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic''. No, seriously, Shoji Gatoh himself mercilessly teases at the idea of him and [[{{Uke}} Sousuke]]. Funnily {{lampshaded}} in an episode of ''LuckyStar'' (which he had a hand in), where a [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/OhLord.jpg hardcore yaoi doujinshi]] of Gauron with a [[FetishFuel bound Sousuke]] is shown. Kagami is shown to [[LuminescentBlush turn bright red]] while reading it, even yelling out, "Whoah, Gauron is really giving it to Sousuke!" And in the novels themselves, Gauron makes it very clear that he wanted to fuck Sousuke up the ass. He is also [[OneHeadTaller noticeably taller]] than Sousuke, is a ''lot'' more aggressive, and has a much lower voice. Oh, and Sousuke's status as {{uke}} is mentioned by Kaname in one of the novel's side stories, where she giggles and says that he would be the "receiver".
** Not to mention how he would even top and ''completely'' dominate ''[[TheBigGuy Dunnigan]]'' for christ's sake. Seriously, for him to be able to make a tough, macho man like that [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Gauron_RapeFace.jpg whimper]] [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Gauron_Raep2.jpg and]] [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Gauron_Raep.jpg submit]] to him, there really should be no doubt that he would always be the one raping people and never the other way around.
* ''Manga/BokuNoSexualHarassment'': Honma and most of the clients Mochizuki is serviced to.
* Kanou from ''Manga/OkaneGaNai''.
* Eiri Yuki from ''Manga/{{Gravitation}}''.
* [[TheAce Usui]] from ''Manga/MaidSama'' is a classic het {{shoujo}} example, paired with {{tomboy}}ish {{tsundere}} Misaki. Demonstrated traits include [[DefrostingIceQueen Defrosting Ice King]], [[ButNotTooForeign just a dash]] of [[EveryoneLooksSexierIfFrench foreign blood]] ([[PhenotypeStereotype complete with blond hair]]) and ability to play his {{uke}} of choice like a violin ([[MartyStu which he's also talented at, incidentally]]). Not to mention general {{bishounen}} looks, of course.
* Ban when paired with Ginji on ''Manga/GetBackers''.
* Nezumi when paired with Sion on ''LightNovel/{{No6}}''.
* Iason of ''LightNovel/AiNoKusabi''.
* The yuri classic ''Manga/KannazukiNoMiko'' had Chikane, a mysterious dark-haired beauty who pursued the other protagonist. Attention is often drawn to the contrast between Chikane's desires and Himeko's virginal innocence.
* On the topic of GirlsLove, an example in the {{Hentai}} ''Gintai Saimin'' is Natsuko being a ''literal'' example of the Seme in a lesbian relationship, to Hitomi's {{Uke}}.
* Tetsuo from ''Manga/{{Yuureitou}}'' is a [[{{transsexual}} trans man]] but plays this to his friend [[spoiler:and eventual boyfriend]] Taichi. He's handsome, well-dressed, and reserved GuileHero while Taichi is {{adorkable}}, is DisguisedInDrag for a chunk of the series, and is a DistressedDude. Tetsuo also has heavy BrokenAce elements and has a buttload of problems, though Taichi becoming his OnlyFriend helps. Tetsuo being seme material is lampshaded when Taichi imagines them having sex, with Tetsuo on top and Taichi crossdressing and on the bottom.
* Though their relationship is [[HideYourLesbians very reserved]], Sachiko from ''LightNovel/MariaSamaGaMiteru'' plays this to Yumi (and might be a TropeMaker in the YuriGenre). She's TheOjou, is tall, and is stoic but affectionate while Yumi is the more emotional, younger looking and awkward girl who wears GirlishPigtails.
[[folder: Fan Fiction ]]
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'':
** Craig Tucker in almost every fanfiction. Especially in ''FanFic/{{I came a long way to see you}}''
** Stories that pair Stan and Craig when they aren't explicitly rivals (and some where they are) tend to make one of them an {{Uke}} through {{Wimpification}} due to the fandom usually having them both as {{Seme}}'s. A few good authors occasionally balance the pairing out, but a lot of them don't.
** Stan is often a uke because of his cute looks and emotional nature, except when he's paired with Kyle who is usually given a heavy dose of {{wimpification}} (it could be argued with their canon personalities Kyle is closer to the "seme" stereotype).
* Adamska in ''FanFic/{{Stray}}'' is at least ten years younger than his partner (if you're counting physical age and years of life experience [[TimeTravel and not respective dates of birth]]), but makes the initial sexual advances in their relationship due to his relatively more outgoing personality [[spoiler: and RippleEffectProofMemory.]]
* ''FanFic/{{Those Lacking Spines}}'' has the Semes of the Organization members possessing the... you know of the Ukes of them. When a Seme combines with an Uke, the members go back to becoming their own selves. Hunting down the Semes and getting the... you know of them and returning them to the Ukes of Organization XIII makes up most of the plot to the story.
* ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' fanart often portrays Homura as being a brooding, aggressive seductress who is totally in control of her love life. This is not congruent with [[ShellShockedVeteran her]] [[LoveHurts canon]] [[ShrinkingViolet personality]].
* ''[[Literature/TheDresdenFiles Harry/Marcone]]'' fics ([[FanPreferredCouple of which there are many]]) portray Seme!Marcone as the default. [[HurtingHero Harry]] is himself pretty tough, but this aspect of his character is [[SturgeonsLaw often]] sidelined.)
* Touya Kinomoto of ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' and ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'' fame is the Seme to Yukito in most fanworks.
* Germany when paired with Italy though Germany can sometimes play the Uke in ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia''. To clarify: Germany is the taller and stronger one, but he is also younger than Italy and pretty much clueless when it comes to romance. The same also goes for America when paired with England, though England is often portrayed as a Seme as well, especially if he's a Pirate, Knight, Punk, or Police.
* {{Yaoi Fangirl}}s will often take note that Sasuke has this appearance compared to ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', although they both are equally strong and tough. This is milked more often in fanfics of the two together. Some subvert this and present him as a uke though (even when paired with ActionGirl Sakura), making him into a secret softy and a {{tsundere}}.
* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'':
** When it comes to Ash/Gary, Gary is almost always written in-line as a stereotypical seme. He's more cocky and "cool looking" than the cuter, {{keet}} Ash.
** Zoey is always this to Dawn. She has a prince motif while Dawn has a princess one, and Dawn is the more feminine and inexperienced Coordinator.
[[folder: Film ]]
* [[DistaffCounterpart Lesbian verion]] in ''Film/BlueIsTheWarmestColor'', where Emma is the dominant partner in the relationship and is apparent that she owns the house they live in. She is also the top in their sexual encounters.
[[folder: Literature ]]
* Catullus 16 starts out with the charming verses "I will sodomize you and face-fuck you,/pussy Aurelius and catamite Furius". The whole poem basically amounts to "I'll prove myself a man by fucking you two in the ass".
* In ''LightNovel/AnotherNote'', Beyond Birthday boasts that he is "an aggressive top," who has never been submissive to ''anyone'' (or [[DrivesLikeCrazy even to a traffic signal]]).
[[folder: Live Action TV ]]
* In the US ''Series/QueerAsFolk'', Brian Kinney is the complete embodiment of this trope, particularly with regard to his relationship with ({{Uke}}) Justin.
* Summer Roberts from ''Series/TheOC'' is officially the seme to her boyfriend Seth Cohen's {{Uke}}. Yes, you heard me right; a female het example of this trope ''does indeed'' exist.
--->'''Summer:''' I wanna be on top this time.
--->'''Seth:''' But you're always on top...
* Chris Keller of ''Series/{{Oz}}'' when he's with [[{{Uke}} Tobias Beecher]].
[[folder: Web Original ]]
* In ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'', Bakura is very much the frustrated {{Seme}} to Marik's oblivious {{Uke}}. This is especially obvious in the spin-off fanfic ''Marik & Bakura Go to Censored Town'', which deliberately panders to [[{{Yaoi}} yaoi]] fangirls (for charity, of course). [[spoiler:Subverted in the end when Marik seduces Bakura, not the other way around.]]
* This [[http://www.semeuke.com whole site]] exists to classify the reader as one of ten varied {{uke}} or {{seme}} types, complete with compatibility guides.
* "[[http://songue.deviantart.com/art/Motivation-Eternal-Struggle-263397514 The Eternal Struggle]]"--an ongoing debate whether [[Manga/DeathNote Light or L]] would be the Seme.
* ''WebVideo/MedukaMeguca'': Kyoko is the seme of all pairings involving her.
--> '''Kyoko:''' Go ahead, put me with a man. I'll whoop his ass.
[[folder: Video Games ]]
* [[PsychoElectro Colonel Volgin]] from VideoGame/MetalGearSolid 3
* {{Fanon}} for ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' will depict [[MsFanservice Excellen]] [[TheTease Browning]], if placed in a LesYay scenario, as the {{seme}}, thanks to her attitude of wanting to do AnythingThatMoves.
* This is how [[VideoGame/KingdomHearts Riku]] usually winds up in {{slash|Fic}}ed with Sora.
** Same deal for Axel with Roxas.
** And [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep Terra with Ven]].
** [[OverlyLongGag And]] [[FoeYay Vanitas]] [[ScrewYourself with Ven]]. [[spoiler: It depends on how much of a {{Seme}} Vanitas actually ''is'', given how he looks just like Sora...]]
* In ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'', the {{Seme}}/{{Uke}} tropes and the cliche of writing a pairing with the seme first is mentioned briefly by Mio, the game's resident YaoiFangirl, when she sees Riki and Kyousuke acting HoYay-y with one another and murmurs to herself [[ShipperOnDeck 'Natsume-san x Naoe-san']], and then corrects herself with 'Naoe-san x Natsume-san', thinking out loud that it works this way, too.
* The most standout examples in Franchise/FireEmblem to fill this role are Raven of VideoGame/FireEmblemElibe and Ike of VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius. Both are big muscly PerpetualFrowner mercenaries who are accompanied by devoted effeminate-looking magic users.

I just recently broke up with a man because he is not an animal lover and actually suggested that I should consider getting rid of my beloved dachshund because he felt that the dog got in the way of us spending time together. (It was a long-distance relationship and he would under no circumstances allow me to bring my dog into his house.) How could someone even ask that of another? My dog has been my constant companion for 10 years and is an important part of my life!
Here are ten interesting facts that I found about pet owners in the US, and, not surprisingly, all but 2 of them apply to me:
- 83% consider themselves their animals' "mom" or "dad."
- 78% admit using a special "pet voice" while talking to their critters.
- 73% have no problem maxing out their plastic to make sure their "kid" gets the best care.
- 67% have a guilty conscience about leaving their animals home alone.
- 63% of U.S. dog owners admit to smooching their pooches.
- 58% of pet owners report they spend more time at the vet than at their own doctors' offices.
- 52% reveal they're more likely to recall the names of their neighbors' pets than the names of their neighbors.
- 47% turn on a TV or radio to keep their pets company when leaving the animals home alone.
- If stuck on a desert island, 50% of Americans would choose a dog or a cat for company over a human.
- 69% of pet owners admit playing favorites with their critters while their significant others are away by breaking household rules, like letting the dog sleep on the bed or feeding the cat leftovers.
I don't leave the TV on for my dog, and since I don't have a significant other living with me, there are no household rules regarding what he can and can't do.
So how do these facts apply to you and your relationship with your pets?

Starboard hosts annual fireman's benefit
The annual fireman's benefit took place at the Starboard Restaurant Aug.11. For 11 years Washington, D.C. firemen have gathered in Dewey Beach to raise funds to benefit the foundation. A group of more than 30 hardworking fire fighters from New York City, D.C., Baltimore, Anne Arundel, Prince Georges County and Montgomery County served as guest bartenders for a worthy cause - the DC Firefighters Burn Foundation.
They raised approximately $7,000 through a 50/50 raffle, a date auction, T-shirt sales, tips and donations. The money raised will go to the foundation which works to ensure that D.C. Metro area firefighters who are injured in the line of duty receive impeccable care. It also helps support research, equipment, and care of the families, as well as the injured.
With active fires burning throughout the United States, firemen have been thrust, once again, into the public's foremost thoughts. Many area firefighters, as well as those from other states, travel to help fight fires in other states when the need arises as well as answering emergency calls in their own immediate areas. The fireman's benefit at the Starboard was the perfect way to raise awareness and money while having a great time.
Steve "Monty" Montgomery, owner of the Starboard, always embraces the chance to host charitable events. He enjoys giving back to the community, but he also feels an added responsibility to give back to those who serve such as police forces, and firemen, as at Sunday's benefit. "It was a great time," says Montgomery, "and we are so happy to offer a place for the event. We're thankful for all the firemen do, and this is just a small way to be able to give back."

The Mississippi Senate has voted to merge the three school districts in Sunflower County into a single district. Senate Bill 2330 moves to the House for further consideration.
It would require a new school board and an appointed superintendent.
Senate Education Committee chairman, Gray Tollison, said Wednesday the consolidation would save local taxpayers $1.2 million a year in
administrative costs.
Sunflower County is in the heart of the Delta, one of the poorest parts of the state. Its three school districts -- Sunflower County, Indianola and Drew -- are all under state conservatorship for a variety of reasons.
Mississippi has 82 counties and 152 school districts.
Consolidation has been discussed for years, but there has been little political will to force mergers in areas where high-performing districts are near lower-performing ones.

EBay acquires data analysis firm Hunch to boost recommendations
EBay has acquired data analysis firm Hunch to boost personal recommendations feature on its online marketplace, says a recent report from the Reuters .
Hunch which was founded by Chris Dixon, Tom Pinckney and Matt Gattis in 2009, offers personal recommendations, by analyzing data from social networks like Facebook. According to EBay, Hunch would help suggest relevant products to the shoppers on its online marketplace.
"We'll be tackling all kinds of interesting challenges as part of eBay including predictive merchandising, interpreting unstructured data and creating merchant insights. We can't wait to get started," the Hunch team stated on its blog announcing the acquisition.
"All retailers want to suggest items to the people visiting their site. That works with a finite category of goods. We have a lot of unique inventory at eBay, from coins to auto parts," said Mark Carges, the chief technology officer at eBay.
"If Hunch knows that people who like one fashion brand also usually like another brand, that kind of learning could be exported over to make suggestions on eBay," said Hunch co-founder Chris Dixon.
The Hunch employees would continue to operate from New York and would continue to experiment and develop recommendation software that would later be integrated into eBay's site.
To better compete with other online retailers like Amazon, EBay has been adding new technologies and acquiring several startups lately. Some of its recent acquisitions include Milo, a price comparison tool; RedLaser, a bar-code scanning application; and GSI Commerce, a provider of online services that will help eBay work with bigger retailers.

Product Description
The Ascaso Arc Fun espresso and cappuccino machine features simple-to-use controls, a powerful pump, a ground coffee holder and an espresso pod holder, an efficient heating element for steaming milk and making hot water, special milk frothing tip, a removable water tank, a cup tray, cup warming surface and a removable drip tray. All this functionality in a compact machine that is a good size for a space-challenged kitchen. It still performs like larger professional machines as demonstrated through good steaming ability and brewing results. It makes espresso drinks, including lattes, mochas, cappuccinos and all of your favorite coffee house drinks.
Features & Functionality of the Ascaso Arc Fun
- Simple Brewing Features: The Arc begins great coffee with the simple push of a button that starts the flow of espresso and continues until you have the desired amount of coffee. Durable buttons comprise the control panel and all the controls are logically arranged and simple to use. Several lights tell you when the machine is powered up and when it is at the proper temperature for either brewing espresso or steaming milk.
- Quality Brewing Group: The group head (the component that accepts the coffee holder) is made of chrome plated brass. Designed after Ascaso's commercial espresso machines, the Arc group head evenly distributes heat and reduces "hotspots" for more temperature consistent espresso. It's also been designed to evenly distribute water across the coffee grounds for a better extraction.
- Heavy-Duty Coffee Holders and Filter Baskets: Keeping with the tradition of using only commercial grade components, the Arc uses heavy-duty chrome plated brass coffee holders, which feature a rugged plastic handle. There is a coffee holder for ground coffee and one for espresso pods. Single and double shot 57mm diameter stainless steel filter baskets are also included. The larger size baskets allow you to use more ground coffee per serving for stronger espresso or cups of coffee.
- Two Liter Water Tank: The removable water reservoir, equipped with a water level indicator, can be filled while operating or taken out and filled at the faucet. The water tank is located on the side to make easy clearance for cupboards.
- 16 BAR Water Pump: The secret to a great espresso is a water pump that has the power to force water through the coffee grounds to extract the full flavor from the coffee. No worries here, you have more than enough pressure to extract the best of what your coffee has to offer.
- Drip and Cup Tray, Plus Cup Heater: The Arc has a polished stainless steel cup tray and a drip pan underneath, both easy to remove and clean. The cup-warming surface on the top of the machine lets you keep your espresso cups warm so your freshly brewed espresso does not cool too quickly once it hits the cup.
- Brass Boiler: Made of heat distributing brass, this boiler can get up to temperature quickly and stay there, with a fast recycling time. Two thermostats control the temperature for espresso and for steam, and a third that specifically monitors the boiler to protect it from overheating if the machine is left unattended for long periods.
- Construction with Longevity In Mind: The Arc is constructed of steel that has been finished throughout with enamel paint. All of the components that make up the construction are designed for long life and low maintenance.
- Cleaning & Maintenance of Components: Additional Information - In order to keep the inside of your machine healthy; it must be periodically cleaned. Scale buildup from naturally occurring minerals in your water can build up on sensitive components like the inside of the boiler, which left unchecked can cause considerable damage to the machine. By descaling your machine every two-three months, your machine will be trouble-free for years. Espresso machine cleaner can be purchased from us or by calling the support number in your user guide.

Industrial lubricants are used in a large variety of equipments and applications.
This deals with all types of products destined for the lubrication of industrial machines, such as hydraulic systhems, turbines, compressors, bearings, open and closed gears, machine tool slideway, pneumatic tools and industrial transmissions.
In all these categories, the one which has the most volumes is represented by the hydraulic oils which are used in the hydraulic controls of building machinery, industrial plants, etc.
Usually these fluids are containing antiwear agents to minimize wear of the pumps.
In general, the inserting of additives in industrial lubricants, except for products with special applications, is not very high (maximum 5%), but that which is fundamental is the balance between the various additives in order to reach some particular performance.
These products, besides satisfying certain chemical-physical requirements, in many cases must also pass tribological rig test (with reference to friction and wear) or test on equipment which simulates the real life use and on which a critical component is installed (for example, pumps for hydraulic circuits).
In the area of industrial lubricants are also classified other products with special applications such concrete mold oils, transform oils (insulating oils), heat treatments and heat transfer oils.
The specifications of the sector are from institutions (ISO, IEC, DIN, BS etc.) or from manufactures of components or machines (EATON VICKERS, DAVID BROWN, DENISON, ALSTHOM, SIEMENS, etc.).
A lubricant is a mix of different components, carefully balanced, in which there are 'base oils' and 'additives' which together contribute to determining the behaviour when working, both in terms of performance and in terms of duration.
Base Oils
Represent the predominant component in the majority of lubricants. The finished product may contain from 70% to 99% base oil.
The quality of base oils is closely linked to the type of crude oil and the process used. The base oils can be of different natures:
Minerals: mix of hydrocarbons obtained from crude by a conventional refinery process or by a standard hydrogenation process.
The number of stocks and the relative viscosimetric characteristics depend on the producer and the type of process. Normally, these are produced:
Non-conventional: mix of hydrocarbons obtained from petroleum stocks by conversion processes which include a forced hydrogenation phase.
Synthetic: all base types obtained by synthetic processes. Obtained by oligomerization and hydrogenation of olefins, they are of higher quality, as seen by the price (from two to ten times higher); the use is rising, above all in the motor oil sector.
Re-refined: obtained by efficient and modern re-refining processes of the used oils; correct management of the supplies and of the process phases makes obtaining products of a quality identical to virgin bases possible. Unfortunately, considerable prejudices still exist about the massive use of re-refined bases, which wrongly consider the products to be of inferior quality.
Additives are components of lubricant oils organized in complex mixes (packages) which when united with the base mix make it possible to achieve the requested performance levels.
The interaction between the various additives can be synergic or antagonistic: the study of these interactions is the basis for the acquisition of know-how.
The additives can be classified on the basis of the fact that:
Various viscosimetric classification systems exist which indicate, generally with a number, a more or less limited viscosity interval. Their aim is to supply, together with the Viscosity Index (V.I), a quick indication for the choice of a lubricant most suitable for a given application.
For industrial oils, the ISO VG (International Organization for Standardization) classification is widely used, while that of SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) is fundamental for automotive lubricants. The AGMA (American Gear Manufacturer's Association) is valid for transmission oils, while that of SUS is, in essence, only used to classify the various base oils. SAE J300
Lubricant oils must be commensurate to different lubrication needs resulting from operating conditions and therefore they differ, and considerably, in characteristics and performance.
The SAE J300 (Society of Automotive Engineers) classification is used to establish the differentiation between automobile lubricant oils based on their viscosity.
The oils are grouped in different grades which fall within certain viscosity limits. These limits refer to different temperatures which reproduce the extreme conditions which can occur during the engine operation. The lower limit identifies the dynamic viscosity at low temperatures; it defines SAE grades "W' (Winter) from 0W to 25W based on the measured viscosity values at temperatures from –35°C to –10°C: the temperature represents the minimum at which the engine can be started. The upper limit defines the kinematic viscosity measured at 100°C and defines SAE grades from 20 to 60 with increasing viscosity values. The viscosity values established by SAE are expressed in centiPoises for the cold temperature (W) and in centiStokes for the temperature at 100°C.
Between two bodies in contact and in motion, a force which opposes the movement is always created: the force of friction.
This force is seen in every type of machine in the form of mechanical energy loss and wear; the work used to overcome friction is transformed into heat and it must be considered lost.
The friction between the metallic surfaces must therefore be avoided due to the loss of mechanical energy and the wear which would rapidly incapacitate the moving parts.
In order to reduce these inconveniences to acceptable levels, lubrication must be used, which consists of inserting special substances, called lubricants, between the moving parts. These resist direct contact between the surfaces, limiting the consequences of friction.
Lubricants can be liquid, solid or semi-solid; but the use of liquid lubricants is much more prevalent.
Liquid lubricants, also called lubricating oils, are made with an oil base (mineral or synthetic) to which is added additives, in appropriate proportions to components, whose function is to improve the characteristics of the lubricant.
In order to perform a proper lubrication of the mechanical bodies, an oil must have the following requisites:
The most important property, typical of a lubricant, is its viscosity.
Viscosity, by definition, is a measure of the resistance to flow of a fluid. In the simple case of two surfaces in relative motion separated by a fluid, to maintain the mobile surface at a constant speed it is necessary to apply an F force which is necessary to overcome the viscous resistance exerted by the fluid. The viscosity of a lubricant increases as the temperature decreases and vice versa. The variations of viscosity, always a relevant entity in the temperature interval which is verified in motors, differ based on the types of oil and are measured by a specially defined magnitude, called Viscosity Index (V.I.). The viscosity index is a number which indicates how the viscosity of a certain oil changes when the temperature changes; it takes on much higher values when the viscosity variations are smaller as the temperature changes.

Ohio's oil and natural-gas industries and the emergence of horizontal hydraulic fracturing could create more than 200,000 jobs and pump billions into the state economy over the next five years, according to a new study released at the Statehouse.
"[These] resources will be responsibly developed, and doing so will benefit all Ohioans who are looking for economic opportunity and energy security," said Tom Stewart, executive vice president of the Ohio Oil and Gas Association.
The economic-impact study, released Tuesday, was prepared by a Cleveland-based consulting firm on behalf of the Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Program.
High-volume horizontal fracturing, commonly called fracking, is an emerging method of extracting oil and gas by pumping large volumes of water, sand and chemicals into underground shale formations.
Opponents have called for a moratorium on the practice until a federal study is completed on the potential effects. Democrat lawmakers at the Statehouse also have called for increased regulation of the industry.
But proponents of the method say fracturing has been in use in the state for decades without adverse environmental impacts, and updated drilling laws and regulations already in effect will ensure comparable results with new wells.
Additionally, they say the growing use of horizontal hydraulic fracturing to extract oil and natural gas from deep, underground shale formations in much of eastern and southeastern parts of the state will lead to more jobs and economic growth.
The study backs that assertion, projecting that more than 204,000 jobs will be created as a result of the exploration of Ohio's Utica shale reserve by 2015. Additionally, the industry will add $22 billion into the economy and $12 billion in related employee wages.
"We're thinking, four years out, if we follow the model of Pennsylvania, it'll be $14 billion a year in drilling and [well] completion expenses alone," said Jerry James, president of Artex Oil Co. in Marietta.
"Fourteen billion dollars a year could generate a lot of jobs, [with] a total of $35 billion estimated in a five-year period."
He added later, "If this works, this could be the biggest game-changer for people we know, because we're from southeastern Ohio, and southeastern Ohio wants one thing. It wants good jobs. If this works, it could create a lot of economic activity."
Don't believe all the hype you hear. read this article which is based on the results of an actual economic study of Pennsylvania. http://www.keystonepolitics.com/2011/...
Another thing to remember is that the vast majority of the added jobs that current state residents can get will be service sector jobs that pay $10/hr. or less.
and many more jobs in years to come through environmental clean-up efforts and the sale of bottled water !
Does Ohio really need the jobs?
The liberals want more welfare funding and not jobs . ..
I have a friend that helps in Fracking in South Dakota. He makes great money! How do I get a job fracking in Ohio? Thanks, Mike

Visit Elite Spanking
Sometimes a misbehaving sub won't listen to reason and needs to have her inappropriate behavior corrected. There's only one thing she understands and it's a firm hand on her behind, but if that doesn't do the trick maybe the biting lick of a whip or the pain of a cane will get the message through. That's the thinking on Elite Spanking, where both male and female authority figures put hot babes through the rigors of old-fashioned corporal punishment.
Once you sign in, you're taken to the Fetish Network homepage. To get to the main spanking collection, just click on "our sites" at the top of the page. Find the link for EliteSpanking and make sure to take note of any others that look interesting, because you get access to all of them with your membership.
There are over 40 in total, including Elite Smothering, Brutal Ball Busting and Brutal Punishment. Many of them have flicks that are pretty lengthy, but know that some of them aren't exclusive.
Does any gal learn her lesson this way? Who cares? I know I don't. For me, the 236 videos are more about my pleasure than the learning curve of some devious girl. All the same, they must learn fast because the vids are only about five minutes long. There's no buildup to the punishment. It's simply wham, bam, spank you Ma'am. You just see the spanking, the caning or the whipping and the red results on the lady's butt.
The flicks can be downloaded as good-quality MP4s, so that's pretty sweet. They can be streamed in an embedded player as well. They don't come with photos, but each one is accompanied by a set of vid caps that allow you to preview the punishing action frame by frame.
There are usually over 100 video captures in each gallery. With the videos being as short as they are, you'll almost see every moment frozen in time. One set has several pages worth that show a babe's pink and purplish posterior. The images are relatively crisp and a decent size.
Elite Spanking gives you a steady stream of bare bums getting battered, so it seems like a wise choice for spanking fans. The website hasn't updated since November 2013, but the many bonus sites do help to make up for that. There are three more that offer spanking porn, too.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.
Score: 30% Date: 06/10/2015
The reviewer has failed to mention that all the content is bought in from other websites and like "Conned" they rarely produce their own content and buy it in. Seriously, none of their content is really unique. Mostly from the producers of Spanking Server and then this group of sites do what they always do - they mess around with the quality of the films and make them worse!!! I had joined here once to see some films but only because the Server site is even more infuriating to get around on and they have an annoying system of rotating content that appears one week and disappears another so at least the content they sold here remains which is why I joined but it's not really very special.
Score: 25% Date: 05/30/2014
To the reviewers, please be aware that this site does not host any unique content. It is from other sites that sell their stuff to this and a few others that I have noticed in this group.
For some strange reason after downloading some of the content and remembering that I had seen it elsewhere, the quality is not as good either. Very annoying, please find people that know what they are doing re the "unique" content they review as this is misleading which is why I am only giving this site 25/100 as it isn't worth viewing unless you've never joined any spanking site ever!
Reply from RabbitsReviews (Date:06/02/2014): Thanks for the comment, Conned. Practically all of the content that appears on the Fetish Network of sites are produced in-house, so we've found no evidence to suggest that the content here isn't exclusive. With that said, we will investigate further and update the review if necessary.

It takes a pretty fertile imagination to correlate a story about alleged political bias at the IRS and sexual abuse in the U.S. military to the Middle East conflict. Leave it to CBC reporter Neil Macdonald, a self-appointed pontificator perched from Washington, to twist unrelated world affairs stories into criticisms of Israel.
In an analysis piece published on the CBC's website on May 5, Macdonald included the following irrelevant smear against Israel and Canadian support for the Jewish state (emphasis added): "In Canada, do Stephen Harper and his most partisan supporters actually think, down deep, that Israel may actually bear some of the blame for its troubles with the Palestinians?"
Apart from being gratuitous, this question disguised personal opinion as news by phrasing declarative statements into questions.
There is no evidence to substantiate claims that Canada's Prime Minister and his "most partisan supporters" deep down assign blame to Israel for the impasses and quarrels with the Palestinians, but MacDonald has no problem raising this question that serves to malign Israel, Canadian support for the Jewish state, and which exonerates Palestinian transgressions and elevates the Palestinian cause.
But wait, aren't CBC journalists tasked to be politically neutral and to embargo their personal views in their professional work? Macdonald's apparent preoccupation with Israel seems to be the exception to the rule allowing him to use CBC resources to attack Israel, time and again.

Next Day
Greer's $100,000 STAR Challenge and Award
Relevance: Greer / Directory:Prizes
Steven Greer posted the following announcement today:
- Dear Friends and Supporters of Sirius,
- On the one year anniversary of the launch of "Sirius", I would like to thank all of you for your continued support, which has made "Sirius" the most successful crowd funded documentary film in history!
- On this one year anniversary, Earth Day 2014, we are announcing the STAR Challenge and Award. While we have not raised enough funds to open a professional research and development lab, thanks to your generosity we have enough funds to announce this new Award of $100,000.
- Many have sent us reports of open-source "free energy" devices seen on the Internet. We do not have a lab or personnel to experiment with such possibilities. Therefore, we are announcing this Award to incentivize the interested new energy public to come forward with such a technology.
- As many of you know, we have spent many years and over $900,000 traveling the world testing, providing grants to individuals and attempting to find such a device. Many were frauds, others were legitimate- but the inventors wanted to keep the technology secret. In a 2010 case, we provided a grant to a scientist who works for the intelligence community and government (I had seen his lab and what he could do- it was impressive!) and whose supervisors had cleared him to make a Tesla-like device for us- only to later have him threatened by others outside his command.
- Dozens of times we have gotten close to finding such a system- only to have it vanish. The Stan Meyer Collection was bought by a corporation which we have just learned is being threatened. Why? They are doing their work secretively and without the support and knowledge of you, the public.
- We have concluded that in order for this technology to succeed, it must be open-source, independently verified and completely reproducible- and this must be done fully in the open, with the whole world watching. Secrecy is our enemy, and has doomed countless inventors to failure. We must learn from history and not repeat it.
- Of course, if we had adequate funding our Lab would operate in this fashion- literally being streamed on the Internet. But since we do not have enough funding to staff and outfit a high energy lab, we are making this Award available to anyone who meets the criteria of the Award. Each point in the criteria is the result of 24 years of research and investigation into how new energy is suppressed, how some unscrupulous people have tricked the public in the past, and what is needed strategically to launch a new technology so that it makes a real, practical difference for the Earth and her people.
- We have an amazing network of people all over the world who can help get such a device secured, funded and launched to the public- IF the technology is legitimate and can be properly vetted. Many powerful people, while justifiably skeptical, will come forward to support us if we can put in front of them something that is real.
- This is necessary. A set of plans on the Internet will not, by itself, solve the problem.The average person (me included) could not make a toaster from a set of schematics !
- Ultimately, this technology will need to have enough support that it will be able to be developed and manufactured- and made available to 7 billion people on Earth.
- I believe we can do this - IF we are provided a technology that meets this criteria.
- For the sake of all of us, and for the beautiful Earth who suffers under the weight of the burden of humanity, I hope that we will soon be able to provide this Award to someone.
- Spread the word- and let the STAR Challenge and Award begin!
- In Universal Peace,
- Steven M. Greer MD
- Albemarle County, VA
- Earth Day
- 22 April 2014
- Click here [bottom of page] for the technology criteria and evaluation form.
- Please read them very carefully.
- If you have a working device and wish to apply for the award, you must print out, fill out and then sign the device criteria and technology evaluation form and submit them.

Gary's Good Barking
Relevance: Directory:Conspiracy
No, this one has nothing directly to do with exotic FE, other than that Free Energy is all about FREEDOM! (And we ran a great story about Bundy's Ranch and it's tie to Solar last week.) P.S. we look forward to Gary coming back to his Thursday night segment.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
No there's not any force majeure provision in the lease assumption that
would cover the death of the person assuming the lease.
He will shortly. I am the original tenant and he has agreed to release "Tenant from all liability under the Lease for the period on and after
Jan. 1, 2014.
Assumption of lease"
Assignee assumes all of Tenant's obligations under the Lease Agreement for the period stating on Jan 1st, 2014.
Consent to Assignment: Tenant will assign the Lease Agreement to Assignee effective. Jan. 1, 2014 and Landlord consents to the assignment of the Lease Agreement to the Assignee as of Jan.,1, 2014 at which time Assignee will be referred to as "Tenant".
So does this agreement release me of any further obligation to
full fill my remaining 15 months on my lease expires on March 2015 when the new tenant takes over my lease? What happens if she dies before Jan 1st or after Jan. 1st and there's no one else to pay.
Am I legally responsible or it's her company; family members that need to pay?

Management's a big need in small businesses
Published: Saturday, May 5, 2012 at 8:53 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, May 5, 2012 at 8:53 a.m.
With so many small businesses still struggling in a slowly recovering economy, I am often asked by small business owners, "What can I do to improve sales and my bottom line?" I see the vast majority of small businesses putting most of their eggs in the social networking and marketing basket. While social networking is an excellent new opportunity to generate exposure and new sales, far too many small business owners are only pursuing that avenue.
The most successful businesses in the long haul are the ones that are well managed.
Unfortunately, most of the small businesses I have worked with were not well managed. Believe me, it was not due to a lack of effort, involvement and the commitment of the owners. Most small business owners have not had the benefit of working in well managed companies, including Fortune 500 companies. They have not had the exposure to the good business practices that these leading companies take for granted. As a result, most small business owners don't know what they don't know through no fault of their own.
All of them knew their products, technologies, competitors and industry nuances, such as building codes and regulations. These are important sets of knowledge to have and are important components to being successful. Unfortunately, they are not the only important things successful small business owners need to know.
I advise small business owners to concentrate on business skills and good business practices.
Good businesses skills and practices include:
◆ Knowing what financial information you need and knowing how to use it.
◆ Knowing what your "A" priorities are and getting them done in a timely manor.
◆ Being able to establish objective, measurable goals.
◆ Establishing uniform accountability across the organization.
◆ Being able to keep the organization motivated and energized
◆ Knowing how to effectively relate to customers.
◆ Being able to develop an effective pre-determined profit plan.
So how can business owners acquire the business skills and good business practices they need? The answer is that there are several ways:
◆ Business books — There are a multitude of business books on management and leadership.
Two of my favorite are "The Seven Habits of Highly Successful People" and "First Things First," both by Stephen Covey.
◆ Seminars — Expand your attendance at seminars from just social networking and marketing to include management skills and business practices. While the first two types are important, that last two types are priceless.
◆ Consultants — Hire a business consultant who has actually been able to run sizable businesses successfully. There is nothing more validating than being successful under fire.
◆ Business owner round tables — Owners and presidents of companies frequently get together to discuss issues of mutual interest and importance. I have seen this work very successfully in Springfield, Mass. The Henderson County Chamber of Commerce has just started one.
Changing how you manage and lead your organization is not easy; it usually takes you into new territory. Do not be afraid to seek help when exploring different ways of running your business. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

- The main reason why I wanted to come to Uzbekistan was Samarkand! I take much interest in Oriental architecture. But when I came to Uzbekistan, I, of course, couldn't help visiting Bukhara and Khiva. And I so much liked Khiva! It is my belief that Samarkand with its outstanding monuments of architecture is one of the most beautiful and amazing cities in the world. I've had the desire to visit Samarkand since I saw the photographs of my colleagues who had already travelled there. Those ancient names of architectural ensembles sounded to me like fairy tales! I feel so peacefulhere, much more peaceful than in my country:-)… You can tell this to the King of my country, to the Minister and all the other officials!
-I made up my mind to spend my vacation in Uzbekistan. I've always wanted to see Central Azia which I knew about from many publications describing this country. But, after all, my decision to go was spontaneous and I do not regret this! I feel relaxed here. The people are open-hearted, hospitable and smiling. They are so easy to communicate with; they treat me so respectfully and friendly!
