If you have some planned demolition coming up then you will want to prepare well for this. If it is a small job then you may be able to manage things yourself, but for any large demolition projects you are going to need the help of the experts. For some demolitions you may actually require a full team of experts to plan and direct the proceedings. Remember that we are often involved with some destructive forces when doing this type of work and this means that there is always the risk of injury.
Some Things to Consider When Conducting Demolition
Here are just some of the things you will want to consider when dealing with demolitions.
- Different types of projects will require different methods of demolition and we need to choose the right one that will best suit on each occasion. For small structures like chimneys a physical demolition may appropriate but the use of machinery is often advisable. For larger project explosives may be required, or if that is not appropriate then a good choice can be chemical demolition.
- According to the Health and Safety Executives in the UK it is required that all buildings older than a decade should be presumed to contain asbestos. This means that a full access (type 3) asbestos survey will be required by law before the work is commenced. It will also be the responsibility of those performing the demolition to ensure that no asbestos fibres become airborne where they can damage the health of people in the locaility. These regulations are taking very seriously because of the real risks that asbestos can create.
- Chemical demolition is becoming a popular choice because it combats a lot of the problems associated with using explosives. When we use chemicals there is no loud explosion and it is much easier to manage the debris. The chemical comes as powder but it expands when water is added; it can work remarkably well when used for demolition.
- The number one priority when it comes to this type of work is safety, and everything that can be done should be done to reduce risks. Luckily we do have the technology and knowhow to ensure that almost all demolitions can occur effectively and safely.
- The most important aspect of preparing for a demolition is planning carefully. It is when this stage is rushed or not done using the right people that problems often start. Remember that any demolition team will only be as strong as its weakest link.
Some Final Thoughts on Demolition
Demolition is requirement in today's world; as new buildings go up old buildings go down. This can be a very destructive type of job and it is important that we are able to do the task without putting lives in danger. Luckily we have the technology and skilled people to ensure that in most instances this work will be carried out safely and effectively. The most important thing with this type of work is getting the planning stage right.

ORBIS has been built using a unique blockchain solution, with two coins available to users that allow them to withdraw, transfer, spend, and invest fiat money or cryptocurrencies with no fees, no wait times, and no middle man.
With mobile app, desktop software, debit card, and eventually in-person branch options, ORBIS represents a truly all-encompassing transaction solution.
Our team is solving all the banking and cryptocurrency problems, developing the first price-stable cryptocurrency, ORBS – utility coin. Orbis utility coin used for worldwide transfers, payments and savings, is directly linked in your wallet with Orbis security coin which is backed by OrbisSolutions company shares. Sign Up and Transfer Orbis Cryptocurrency to your friends or family.
OrbisSolutions was set up on loss aversion concept and can withstand any market crash being apart from other blockchains.
Having only profit and no losses, making revenue from the actual withdrawal and spending of Orbis coins, our company shares will have a unique, slow but guaranteed price growth process like the security coin.Orbis Transfer The future of Cryptocurrency
Our technology gives our customers an edge, providing a generational leap to a safer, more reliable Blockchain capable of over 1.000.000 transactions per second, competing with the biggest financial companies in the world.
With the ability to create synergies among cryptocurrencies, adapt to users specific needs, and split and rejoin itself, the Orbis blockchain allows for neater, faster, more dependable data flux and transfer. This allows a user to manage assets in a complex hierarchy via their Orbis Coins.
Orbis integrated mining software allows our customers to perform anonymous transactions in a worldwide decentralized network, safely and cost-free.
Platform active users will be part of our ecosystem, mining transactions that will have an execution time of under 0.2 seconds.
Orbis Local Branches will also be active in processing transactions, having the software integrated in our Self-Service ATM machines, a concept that will create a much safer, unbreakable network around the world.
The online platform hosts an integrated user-friendly wallet that allows the customers to perform transactions easy and quick, bringing a new look, feel and functionality to the conventional online banking service.
OrbisSolutions OÜ, the parent company of ORBIS Transfer, has launched an ambitious campaign to install physical branches all over the world. These branches will contain self-service Orbis ATMs and will also provide AI-based virtual assistance on-site. At an Orbis branch, you will be able to perform any of the financial transactions and services you are used to at your usual bank: payments, transfers, withdrawals, deposits, and investments.
In order to avoid human error and fraud, and in keeping with our mission as an automated, decentralized service, Orbis branches will not have any human workers. Our clients will instead be served and assisted by advanced, AI-powered Virtual Chat robots and, eventually, even holograms.
There will be no transaction fees, no wasted time, and no poor customer service at any Orbis branch.
Our working model is based on the continuing growth of digital payment. To date, there has been no universal, innovative service that incorporates both fiat currency and cryptocurrency, so to address this need, we have introduced the future of FinTech: the Orbis Money Transfer and Investment Project.
Traditional investment and trading has been ruled greedily by banks, corporations, and governments who ruthlessly control access, operate in a non-transparent manner, and ensure your money is always funneled away from you and up to them.
This has caused widespread low liquidity in the virtual and crypto space, and also prevented the development of a single, easy-to-use interface for accessing the markets for such a space.
Even more pressing is that this exclusivity and greed still prevents over 3 billion people in the world completely unbanked. This is where OrbisSolutions feels that this idea serves the greatest purpose: bringing banking solutions to those who need them the most.
Orbis Transfer is the Future of Finance
Simplifying the world of financial transactions has been the goal of ORBIS from the beginning. Making investment, marketing, purchasing, and day-to-day transactions a possibility for everyone, as well as streamlining the process for those who already take part, all on a decentralized blockchain network: that's our mission statement.
With innovative solutions for fast, easy, no-fee money transfer, payment, investment, and more, our technology brings finance into the modern world – and takes it into the future. To learn more, download our whitepaper in one of the languages available here!

Lead Web Developer
I started doing web developement and web design 15 years ago as a hobby, but in time it became more than that. I'm a very optimistic person and I consider that only doing what you trully like can push you forward in achieving your goals and also make you become better and more proficient at doing that trully ideal job. I love my job and I'm very grateful for what I have achieved so far.
Below we have public provided the questions and answers of our current users. If you have other questions, don't hesitate to use the contact form and we will get back at you with an answer as soon as possible.
Our team has cracked the code on a number of general cryptocurrency problems that many other projects face. The Orbis ICO aims to develop a fast, safe, cheap, and reliable solution to asset management (both fiat and crypto). We will also be bringing our service to you through a full availability suite: mobile applications, desktop software, and in-person service branches.
By making Orbis a full-scale solution, we believe our project will make a large number of other projects obsolete. This puts us ahead of the bubble and legitimizes our efforts. Further, all of our parent company's, OrbisSolutions OU, details are available online and all of our financial information is independently verified.
Yes! Our decentralized, 2FA-integrated blockchain network was built with the utmost security in consultation with experts.
We are implementing both AI and VR into our project to ensure it is future-proof and implements the newest, most efficient technology. We are developing a one-of-a-kind Virtual AI Chat Robot to assist all our customers in the future.
Our Orbis self-service branches will be franchised worldwide. Interested entrepreneurs will be able to open up shop wherever there is demand, and an initial 10 branches will be funded through a crowdsource project in 2018-2019.
We believe so! The automated system we are creating, with the inclusion of the Virtual AI Chat Robot, will make the Orbis branches a low-overhead, efficient, low-cost business to run. The only cost recouped by OrbisSolutions will be the transfer fees between Fiat and cryptocurrencies.
OrbisSolutions OI is in the process of obtaining a banking license that will allow us to conduct our business legitimately around the world, with blockchain implementation simply the method that our bank conducts business.
The platform will go ahead with private funding in this case, and all public funds will be returned to users.
In the world today, 70% of humans live in poverty, and 40% are unbanked. With Orbis, we aim to bring those numbers down – eventually to 0. Our goal is to create a better, fairer, more balanced society.
We see a unique, worldwide currency with payment methods that are free, easy, and simple to implement. Eventually, the result will be a better humanity with less poverty and a celebration of differences.
Any question? Reach out to us and we'll get back to you shortly.

The "Oostvoornse Duinen".
|The Sea Dunes
It being our Autumn break, I went there yesterday with my regular hiking companion, who used to be 2, 3, 4...and is now 22 years old.
My son and I enjoy walking together, and this part of our island of Voorne is our favourite.
It was a typical Wetlands day: misty, damp, grey cloud cover and threatening to rain (and sure enough half-way through it did start to rain and wouldn't stop).
Oostvoorne is a small town, part of the larger municipality of Westvoorne (comprising of Rockanje, Tinte, Brielle and Oostvoorne). To get there you take the largest motorway (which thankfully still is a two-lane) N218 and then follow the signposts to the starting point of our hike: the carpark next to the Natuurmonumenten/Zuid-Hollands Landschap Education Centre ("Bezoekerscentrum") on the Duinstraat 12a. (Adjacent to the comfortable restaurant called De Meidoorn).
The landscape has slowly evolved over the centuries. It used to be mostly sand dunes, but due to landowners planting tree plantations and acid rain it is now a very green area with lots of trees, shrubs, berry carrying shrubs and grasses and reed beds as well as sand dunes. In order to keep the grasses in check, large areas have been fenced in (this IS The Netherlands after all) so that herds of sheep, ponies and cows can graze there in relative freedom.
Contrary to what you might think, the bottom line doesn't mean that there is no danger of meeting a wolf, but that you have to keep your dog on a leash. We don't have wolves (yet) in this part of the Wetlands.
My son and I decided to take one of the longer walks; the walk around a dune lake called Het Breede Water. (2 hours)
To get there, you have to take the path to the right next to the education centre and along the attractive lake called the Tenella Plas. Again, this being the Netherlands, there is no danger of getting lost: the paths are mostly signposted by means of coloured arrows. The Breede Water route is clockwise, signposted with a white arrow.
|Tenella Plas
|Tenella Plas
At first there are still some small farm houses dotted around (much sought-after to live in these days), and the typical meadows that belong to them.
As soon as you have crossed the horse bridlepath, you enter a wet area, so wellingtons are a good option from October onwards. In fact, if we have a wet winter and we usually do, many of the paths are extremely muddy.
You now walk along a sandy/grassy path adjacent to one of the old pine plantations (on your left). To your right are the older dunes, with many berry carrying shrubs which attract numerous birds.
As a girl I always laughed to see the sparrows and blackbirds get drunk on the orange berries of the meidoorn.
After approximately half an hour you can view the largest dune lake, the Breede Water, on your right hand side. There is a viewpoint ("Uitzichtpunt"), from where you can spot the waterfowl whilst they cannot spot you.
|Breede Water
As I said, you walk around the Breede Water clockwise, so at the half-way mark you enter the proper dunes.
This is the closest thing we Wetlanders have to anything slightly resembling a hill (tiny), and it used to be all SAND when I was a girl!
|Breede Water from the other side, black pines in the background
I hope you will be able to follow those white arrows, for this is the (only) point where the path is a bit tricky (hard to see), and you could get lost.
Still, you are always in sight and reach of your GPS satellite, so don't you fret!
When you have almost reached the point where you started walking around the Breede Water, you again enter the forest.
|The Beeches are just starting to turn
You'll know when you have not strayed when you again reach the Tenella Plas.
Do go and visit restaurant De Meidoorn before you start you car! They do lovely Dutch grub and the ambience is very friendly.
I hope you have enjoyed this route. Whenever you are near - come visit Voorne!
Google Maps pointer: type in Tenellaplas Oostvoorne.

Google wiki makes search interactive
In November, Google announced a new way for users to personalize search results pages. This blend of social media, bookmarking, and search is a new way to tailor search engines to your needs.
Once you sign into your Google account, you're able to remove, rearrange, and comment on search results. While you can save and share these notes, they do not affect the way that Google ranks pages for other users … yet.
But this is only the beginning for interactive search. It shows that search engines are noticing the popularity and usability of social bookmarking sites like Digg, and may indicate a shift in the search world from shadowy algorithm-based rankings to a format that resembles social bookmarking in the near future.

Ever have the feeling your best wasn't good enough…even when you know you gave it all you had? When can you feel good about just letting go?
That was the feeling I walked away with today. I've been a caretaker most of my life. I saw things kids should never see. I felt things kids should never feel. I've put up barriers to protect myself, but every now and then they come crashing down. These are good walls. Trust me. I've been through therapy. I've had my say and confronted the people who caused me pain. The walls are there because sometimes after you surrender to the situation, you need to shore yourself up to let the healing begin.
And through it all, I smile. It's is not a fool's smile, though. A co-worker once asked me many years ago how I stay so upbeat—I'm legendary for my chipper personality contrary to the blue mood I'm in at the moment. I still believe what I told him back then. There are two ways to wake up in the morning. In a good mood or a bad one. It seems a no-brainer which choice to make. If I don't hold out hope that each day has some good in it, why bother wake at all?
I know my life is so rich. I am aware of that every morning I go into my girls' room and gently wake them. The way the Virginia pops up in her crib, all sleepy-eyed and joyfully squeals "Mama" is better than a steaming cup of coffee. The smell of Isabella's morning breath. Well, call me crazy, but I've loved it ever since she was a baby.
So what does this all have to do with lentil ricotta "meatballs" you're wondering? Well, nothing…and everything. See, if I hadn't take a risk and tried the unthinkable then they wouldn't exist. The idea blossomed out of thrift. If you've been reading this blog for a while, you know my feelings about buying clean meat. The stuff free of antibiotics, added hormones and pasture-raised, the way cattle was meant to live. Well, that comes at a price of about $8 a pound here in New York City. And while I'm okay with that price and really believe it is fair, it means we don't eat meat every day. In fact, we only eat it once or twice a week as a main protein. More often, it's stretched out in dishes like a bolognese.
A few weeks ago I set out to do the unthinkable. I challenged myself to make a meat-free meatball that could match, if not rival, the tender, moist memory ingrained in my tastebuds from my regular beef and pork recipe. Well, this one is a keeper my friends. Look at the pictures if you need proof. It looks like a meatball. It smells like a meatball. Most importantly, it tastes like a meatball…and it's made with lentils.
I started out with a big pot of lentils on Monday for the Week of Eating In Challenge. Some went into lentil burgers. Yes, I know, I promised that recipe, and it is coming soon. I do have to tend to work, much as I'd rather be here all day long. Some more of the lentils are set aside to make these again. When I first set out on my mission, the goal was not to make a vegetarian version. It was to make a less expensive one with the same great taste. Organic lentils cost $1.39 a pound in bulk at my local healthfood store. You do the math. Now go buy some lentils. Prepare them using this recipe and let me know what you think. See you next week, and hopefully with some renewed strength.
makes about 18
Every step of the way I kept getting pleasantly surprised while making these. The real moment of truth was when I simmered them in some marinara sauce. I was worried they would fall apart, but they stood up to a good soaking to my sheer delight. I also recently discovered DeCecco organic kamut spaghetti. It's a whole grain pasta but doesn't have that earthy taste I dislike, so I highly recommend seeking it out—unless of course you make your pasta from scratch.
2 cups cooked lentils, pureed
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/2 cup fresh ricotta
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 teaspoon chopped parsley
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Canola oil for frying
Marinara sauce, optional
Add all ingredients to a deep bowl. Mix very well, using hands or a wooden spoon. Cover and refrigerate for two hours or overnight.
When ready to cook, shape mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls. Heat about 1/2-inch of oil in a nonstick skillet over medium flame. Add shaped "meatballs" and cook until browned all around, turning only once. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and let excess drain off. Add to simmering marinara sauce if serving immediately, or store in a tightly covered container up to three days.
Note: If you're pressed for time or simply don't have prepared lentils you can use canned and I won't judge. Heck, we've all been there. I will caution, though, that you'll need to boost the flavor. While this isn't a tested tip, my guess is using seasoned breadcrumbs will help do the job. My Parmesan skillet croutons make excellent seasoned breadcrumbs—just give them a whirl in your food processor or mini-chopper.

sunday brunch
Its been quite a while since I posted anything here.
Its been a while since I felt like doing much.
Its been a while since I felt happy-happy-joy-joy.
Today I decided its been a while since I've been in such a doldrum. And I needed to SNAP out of it.
Well at least try to.
So whilst I getting some photos tidied up and thinking about what to write about them, I thought I'd share these with you. Photos taken at Sunday brunch couple of weeks ago at one of my favourite places to eat - Floriditas. Its also got one of the best atmosphere for those 'catch ups with the girls'.
Check out these very kitsch egg cups. If you order the Soft Boiled Eggs and Soldiers, that's how you get them. I just LOVE 'em! Great way too to get the kids eating their eggs.

Aww, I know doldrum feeling.... but, keep eating food like this and it should dissipate quickly. :) Hang in there! And thanks for making my breakfast feel inadequate this morning.... hehe.ReplyDelete

Thanks for leaving me your comments - I love getting them! And I promise I'll reply to all of them. Cheers! :-) x.

Policy Brief
Peak Efficiency
How Regulating Electricity Demand Could Save Lives in New York City
This policy brief discusses an on-going inter-disciplinary study to measure whether laws that reshape local electricity demand can achieve significant health benefits in New York City. A
collaborative effort of legal, economic, and public health researchers, the study will answer crucial questions that should inform New York's energy planning decisions
Policy Brief
Balanced Justice
Cost-Benefit Analysis and Criminal Justice Policy
Crime and justice are not usually associated with cost-benefit analysis. But they should be, according to new research. This is especially true in an economic downturn, when government funding is scarce. In "Balanced Justice," released jointly with the Center for the Administration of Criminal Law, author Jennifer Rosenberg reviews a growing body of research showing that counting the costs and benefits of our nation's justice system can highlight areas of improvement that can save billions of taxpayer dollars without compromising public safety.
Policy Brief
Internet Benefits
Consumer Surplus and Net Neutrality
This policy brief describes how a weakening of the principle of network neutrality might impact the Web. Based on an analysis of Internet usage, it finds that Internet infrastructure and content work together to generate huge economic benefits for consumers—possibly as much as $5,686 per user, per year.
Policy Brief
The Value of Open
An Update on Net Neutrality
An open Internet allows anyone with an idea and a domain name to add content to the web for all to use. It's a system that most believe works very well, generating billions in economic benefits for the American public every year. This policy brief analyzes the economic uncertainties of weakening our current, open Internet and sees potential trouble ahead if it is not preserved.
Policy Brief
More Residual Risks
An Update on New York City Boilers
Up to 259 lives could be saved every year if certain large buildings in New York City stopped burning dirty heating oil. Using newly available data, a reworked analysis finds that residual oil has even greater consequences than estimated in an earlier report.

VANCOUVER — The British Columbia Treaty Commission says the political climate provincially and federally is ripe for pushing ahead stalled First Nation treaty negotiations.
The commission released its annual report Wednesday saying 14 negotiations involving 32 First Nations are in the advanced stages, and chief commissioner Celeste Haldane said the goal is to see those treaties signed in the next two years.
"The process has momentum now," she said. "Communities are ... able to break the shackles of the Indian Act, they're truly self governing, they're truly self-determining, and they're actually doing things the way they want to based on what their communities' needs are, I think that's incredibly important."
The commission was established in 1992 as an independent body to facilitate treaty negotiations between B.C. First Nations, the provincial and federal governments. There have been eight modern treaties signed in the province.
Commissioner Jerry Lampert said the discourse in Ottawa that indicates an interest in reconciliation as well as a noticeable "sea change" in Victoria with the new NDP government are encouraging.
"We see certain moves being made from the prime minister on down that indicate that the federal government wants to see progress," he said. "That high level conversation has to get down to the grass-roots levels at the tables we attend where the negotiations take place."
Since negotiations began in May 1993, the Commision has allocated $707 million in negotiation support funding 60 First Nations. The commission report says $551 million of that funding is in loans to the bands, while $156 million is a non-repayable funding contribution.
B.C.'s Minister for Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation Scott Fraser said the negotiation process needs to be improved so treaties can be reached sooner and First Nations aren't left "burdened with debt."
"How treaties are negotiated, as well as government's internal processes and mandates, must evolve to better reflect case law and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples," Fraser said in a news release.
The report said local and regional governments have also played a key role in finalizing recent treaty negotiations.
"When a First Nation prospers the whole region prospers," Haldane said at a news conference. "If I look at the history of our country and the way our country was built, Indigenous communities were left out, in essence, and they haven't necessarily been a part or a benefactor of that economic boom of the local economy and now we're flipping the page for those communities to be truly meaningful partners."
The report said the treaty for the Tla'amin Nation, on B.C.'s Sunshine Coast, was signed in 2016 thanks to a push from the Powell River mayor and councillors who went to Ottawa to advocate for its completion.
The report said the Tla'amin and the Power River council now work together on regional plans that including real estate and resource development.
Commissioner Tom Happynook, from the Huu-ay-aht First Nation, said a treaty has ensured his community now has complete control over land and infrastructure issues, a past frustration for the band.
He said it once took seven months for his community to get permission under the Indian Act to move fallen trees after a storm, and months longer to sell the trees and gain access to the funds.
"We are moving forward with our people's desires, we are in such a different place than we were before shackled to the Indian Act," Happynook said.
The commission said 65 First Nations out of the 200 Indian Act bands in B.C. are participating in or have already completed treaty negotiations.

Creative has announced the launch of two Android tablet devices in 7 and 10 inches, called the Creative ZiiO.
Joining a growing flood of devices entering the tablet market at the moment, Creative is looking to leverage its experience in audio by packing the new tablets with X-Fi tech and the apt-X audio codec, promising a premium audio experience whether it is via headphones or wirelessly with Bluetooth, using compatible apt-X speakers.
So here are the detail on the two models:
The Creative ZiiO 7-inch model comes with an 800 x 480 pixel resolution display, but there is no sign of a capacitive touch experience, so you'll find yourself using older resistive technology. This is packed into a device measuring 207.4 x 133 x 13.7mm and weighing 400g.
Internally you'll get a Creative processor, named as the ZiiLabs ZMS-08, but we don't know what sort of clock speed this has and when we asked, we were told they were "still being optimised". No word on how much RAM you'll get to back it up. In terms of connectivity, aside from that Bluetooth 2.1 with apt-X, you get Wi-Fi b/g, a 3.5mm jack and Mini-USB.
The ZiiO offers a reasonably up-to-date Android 2.1 operating system, although like other devices of this ilk, there is no sign of the Android Market, instead you'll have to get to grips with the ZiiStore, Creative's own application store. Creative is promising that the Android 2.2 update is coming, stating that it is currently in a certification process, with Android Market support definitely coming with that upgrade.
However, Creative is pitching this as a media device first and foremost, going up against the likes of Archos, and as such you'll find a good range of multimedia support, with wide audio and video compatibility (H.264, MPEG4, WMV9, MJPEG, MOV, AVI, MKV, MP3, AAC, WMA9, FLAC, OGG, ADPCM, MIDI, WAV, Audible).
Creative is also promising HD video out from the tablets to your TV, along with the likes of a 640 x 480 front-facing camera, a microSD card slot (supports up to 32GB). A mic and stereo speakers are also present and correct.
The 10-inch version offers a 1024 x 600 pixel resolution display, is again resistive, and offers all the above packed into a frame measuring 262 x 173 x 13.7mm and weighing 650g.
Creative is promising 10 hours of mixed use, 5 hours of video, or 25 hours of music playback from the battery.
Both tablets will be available mid-December and you will have the choice of 8 or 16GB models, costing £199.99 or £219.99 respectively for the 7-inchers, or £249.99 or £269.99 for the 10-inch versions.

Management by Objectives
Motivating employees seems to be a challenge for managers - Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the MBO program and provide at least one example to support your discussion.
Goal-Setting Theories have evolved since the 50s and have an impressive documented literature. The Goal-Setting Theory addresses the issues that goal specificity, challenge, and feedback have on performance (Robbins, 2009, p185). Setting goals and motivating employees are always an important issue for a manager, however in certain cases it is difficult to make it operational. A more systematic way to utilize goal setting is with the management by objectives program (MBO), which introduced the system of SMART method of goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and tangible. MBO itself was first outlined by Peter Drucker in 1954 in his book "The Practice of Management", in which he highlighted the principles of MBO: cascading of organizational goals and objectives, specific objectives for each member, participative decision making, explicit time period, performance evaluation and feedback. The concept by Peter Drucker can be found here: The 5 step MBO process (Drucker, 1954, The Practice of Management)
As further detailed by Robbins (Robbins, 2009, p187-188) the organization's overall objectives are translated into specific objectives for each succeeding level (divisional, departmental, individual) in the organization (Cascading of objectives (Robbins, 2009, Organizational Behavior, p188). Because all levels participate in setting their own goals this program can work both from the "top down" and also from the "bottom up", which at the end results in a hierarchy of goals and objectives among the different levels.
Indeed, Management by Objectives can be a very efficient tool for management inefficiency when objectives are known, however as Drucker later in the 90s highlighted in an interview, in reality 90% of the time objectives are not known.
MBO systems differ greatly. Some are used for the organization as a whole; others are prepared for only sub-units. Methods and approaches used by managers can vary also significantly, for instance "in the US the emphasis appears to be more on human needs and motivation and increasing subordinates' participation in setting objectives while in the UK, MBO is used mainly for corporate strategy and planning" (Martin Hahn, 2007:1).
Effective use of MBO depends on every manager having very clearly defined objectives. These objectives must also be part of the contribution to other objectives of the company. The important thing is to ensure that the individual's objectives are related to the common goal of the organization. Although the method Management by Objectives was largely used in the 60s and 70s, it needs to be highlighted that it is not the only method and like any process or tool it also has its advantages and disadvantages which are worth to be considered before used.
• Employees are involved in setting of objectives, thus their involvement improves communication and morale
• Collective contribution toward goals, motivation for team-work
• All levels have clear idea on their goals and on the work that needs to be done to achieve these objectives, thus proposals on improvements can come from all levels
• Goals are clearly specified and measurable, thus they seem more approachable as well
• Commitment toward achieving unit or company objectives
• Continuous feedback on performance and monitoring
• Feedback and monitoring can serve as a good base for staff appraisal
• The introduction of the process needs time
• Planning and development of clear objectives for all levels can be lengthy
• Too much paperwork
• Difficulties of measuring certain activities/actions
• The achievement of certain goals may be at the expense of others

Here is a lovely song performed by the delicious Shani Wallis, chosen to illustrate the beauty of the most elegant Jill St. John.
Jill St. John (born as Jill Arlyn Oppenheim in 1940 in Los Angeles, California) is a film and television actress. Along with Ann-Margret and Raquel Welch, she was one of the great red-haired sex symbols of the 1960's. St. John's major film roles occurred during the 1960's and early 1970's, including Barbara Tuttle in Jerry Lewis' "Who's Minding the Store?" and a turn as Tiffany Case in the 1971 James Bond film "Diamonds Are Forever" (with a great soundtrack sung by Shirley Bassey). Jill had appeared in "The Lost World" in 1960 and also worked in England, in 1965 with Rod Taylor on "The Liquidator" (with another famous soundtrack sung by Shirley Bassey), and in 1972 with Oliver Reed on "Sitting Target". She played femme fatales in a number of adventures and crime pictures, including Frank Sinatra's "Tony Rome" (1967), which helped gain her admission to Sinatra's Rat Pack. St. John continues to act, although her roles in the 1990's and 2000's have primarily been on television sitcoms and made-for-TV movies. In 1997, St. John had a guest appearance on the Seinfeld episode, "The Yada Yada". St. John is also known for her intelligence (she was admitted to the University of California, Los Angeles, at the age of 14) and wit. St. John is married to Robert Wagner and has been married to the singer Jack Jones. She has also dated Frank Sinatra and Sean Connery.
Enjoy this flamboyant blend of vocal and visual beauty!

micron and infineon are partnering to develop reduced latency dram (rldram), which will be used for "high-performance memory applications." rldram will run at 600mbit/second/pin with latency reduced to "a fraction of competing architectures." the aim will be to close the gap between dram and sram. the memory will be aimed at switches, routers, and other high-bandwidth latency applications. even though the technology sounds like it would speed up latency in pcs, it sounds like rldram will be aimed at networking equipment and we'll have to wait for mram in 2003 from ibm and infineon for the next generation of pc ram. until then, rdram and ddr have a lot of room for improvement. remember, we're barely at first generation in ddr and rdram will be heading for pc1066 speeds next year (533mhz*2), as opposed to the current pc800 limit.

|so here's what i want to know… (3:04pm est wed may 30 2001)
if you take a look at the timing diagram for dram (or sdram, or rdram or any of them), it becomes immediately obvious that about 50-75 cpu cycles are wasted in access latency. after the chip has "found" its bits, then it can stream tham out pretty quick.
the ram manufacturers and the cpu folks have conspired to work around this by burst-loading a block of data from memory to cache. one access [50-75 cycles] then 4+ reads/writes [4 cycles each]. this somewhat mitigates the latency, but doesn't really in the end.
so, why aren't the ram manufacturers working on a type of ram architecture where the reads/writes can be queued? the cpu's certainly queue up all sorts of reads and writes (which are then sequentially fed to the damn chips). why not send the address-spec's way in advance, then block-transfer stuff off in an interleaved fashion? probably could get near 95% ram efficiency (as opposed to today's 25%-35%)
oh well.

His team, which is currently the only elite Pittsburgh Penguins jersey one in the NHL that's over the $75 million salary cap, will place him on long-term injured reserve, effectively taking his $5.275 million contract off the cap, which will allow them to make impactful moves for high-salaried help after getting swept in the first round of cheap football jerseys the Stanley Cup Playoffs last season ?V moves that, frankly, would have been impossible otherwise given cheap nhl jerseys how many no-movement clauses are attached to their own high-salaried players, including Hossa.

A little opera
Dad took me to the Opera Memphis production of "Die Fledermaus" last night. It was marvelous. We have a new director with more of a theater background, and the comic opera was truly funny (not always the case). Just delightful.
I hadn't had the chance to draw yesterday, so I tucked my sketchbook and some colored pencils into my bag. It was challenging but also fun to draw in the almost dark. I added the color during the intervals with the lights up.

As we get older I think it's only natural to look back. Hindsight and maturity bring a different perspective to life decisions. I think needs change also. What was important to me in my 20's and 30's is not where I am now. Basic needs never change but emotional needs do change.
What are my emotional needs? Even now, I'm not quite sure. Knowing requires getting through all the muck and walls I've created over the years to keep the imperfect and vulnerable from showing. I don't think many of us enjoy being open and vulnerable. To us "intimacy-phobes" it's the silver bullet.
On the other hand, is there a possibility of too much truth about yourself? Why do I feel like I have to have all the answers? Maybe it is really a case of "if it's not broke, don't fix it." If we are living life without too many problems......who cares? Why do I have to be open and vulnerable? Do I really want to know?
Yes, I do.
Being vulnerable is a HUGE pile of leaves. If we would just rake them once in a while; all those emotional leaves would be nicely piled up, put in a garbage bag and thrown out. The problem is we let the leaves pile up and then when you try to have fun and jump in you find that they've been there so long the ones at the bottom are all yucky and icky. It's like trying to jump into a giant compost heap.
I'm wading into the pile of leaves that I raked. It feels very icky at the bottom and I haven't even begun to get through it all. As I look around I take a big sigh. On top of all that I haven't even begun to start pulling the weeds.

DaDa question
paulc posted a topic in Doing DanceHi, quick question on DaDa's. I understand how they are allocated etc but if a school has say 40 places, how many will be offered a DaDa? Appreciate there are no exact answers but is it roughly 10%, 25%, 50%? Thanks
Upper school advice needed
Coffeemum posted a topic in Doing DanceHello everyone. We've reached the stage, rather too quickly, of applying to upper schools for eldest dd. I'd love to have some advice on how many schools is sensible to apply for, how to choose which ones and any information and knowledge of German and the Dutch schools people know/have experience of. Organising dvds/photos and managing audition dates is ever so slightly overwhelming! Any info, small or big is very welcome. Thank you!

Tring Park sixth form auditions
Danceroo posted a topic in Doing DanceHi, I wonder if anyone could answer a few questions for me please. I have searched the old threads but haven't found what I was looking for. My dd is interested in auditioning for the dance course and is currently in year 11. She is pretty academic and we want her to do 3 A levels alongside- is this actually doable? I find it hard to comprehend how you can give 100 % to either area, there are only so many hours in one day. We live within driving distance but it would be complicated to get her there. Do you think boarders settle in more than day girls, would they feel excluded? If you are a boarder are you able to come out during the week to attend other classes elsewhere as long as you are back at a certain time? Are there lots of new starters in the 6th form or do the majority come up from the lower school. From the website it says the audition dates should be published in September but I can't seem to find them. Lastly I have looked at the funding information. Am I correct in thinking that Tring can offer a 10% scholarship plus a further bursary which is no longer means tested if your income is over £90k. Sorry for all the questions. Thanks

Russian style ballet schools in UK or Europe please?
TwoLeftFeet posted a topic in Doing DanceI have researched Russian style ballet full-time upper schools in UK and have found - are there any more out there? London Russian Ballet School Bristol Russian Ballet School Kings International Ballet Academy What sort of style do the other more popular names teach i.e. ENBS, Royal, Elmhurst, Tring, Royal Conservatoire, Central School of Ballet, Northern Ballet? Europe: I have mostly looked at Germany where the majority seem to be Russian style. The main four being John Cranko, School of the Hamburg Ballet, State Ballet School of Berlin and Mannheim. What other German option are out there that you have come across? Next, what about other European schools favour Russian style?
British training at Lower and Upper Schools
Vonrothbart posted a topic in Doing DanceEDITED BY MODS TO ADD: This thread is for the continued discussion of the British classical ballet training system that developed in the "Good luck/Audition results" thread for 2018 auditions. Please bear our Forum Rules in mind when posting; notably not "outing" other people's children or making it easy to identify certain students by posting which school they are coming from/going to AND that highly critical posts must be made under your own name. Many thanks. ******** Vonrothbart's original post: There's a girl who was told by RBS when she was 16, that she didn't have the "right" body for ballet, she was accepted into the company when she was 18, via a different route.
Advice for 16 year old
oliviaT posted a topic in Doing DanceHello everyone I need some advice for my daughter and a friend suggested I ask on here. Sorry this might be long! She is 16, has been dancing since she was around 6 years old but only decided about 2 or 3 years ago that she wanted to aim for a career in dance. She knows that a career in ballet is out of the question and would just love to dance professionally in some way or another before eventually going into teaching. Her long term aim is to have her own dance school. (the reason I say this is because she is not at the advanced level needed to apply for ballet schools - she is working at around intermediate in ballet, tap and modern) She is in year 11 at school so this last term she has been auditioning and we decided to start with the 'easiest' and build up. First she auditioned to 2 local colleges who offer level 3 performing arts / A level dance. She was offered a place at both but really didn't like them - she says the standard was low and not enough ballet. The she auditioned at quite a well known private college that offers level a 4 teaching certificate but no other qualification. She was offered a place and loved it. The pros are the teaching qualification (as this is her long term aim) and good industry links. The cons are that she wouldn't have the ucas points needed for uni if her circumstances change. Next she auditioned to a level 6 college but one that doesn't offer a Dada. We knew we couldn't afford for her to go here unfortunately but we were told it was a similar standard to her dream college so we thought it would be good preparation. Again she loved it and was offered a place. Unfortunately a few weeks ago we got the dreaded 'no' letter for the place she had her heart set on (level 6 with the possibility of a dada). No recall, no feedback. As you can imagine she is devastated. So what do we do now? There are a few places still accepting applications but I don't have endless amounts of money for auditions, hotels etc! I also want to avoid panic auditioning for a place that isn't right for her. She loved the college that offered the teaching qualification but for me it seems a bit risky (no other dancers in our family, it's the norm to do A-levels and university). Thanks for reading

Ballet Upper Schools
rubyballerina posted a topic in Doing Dancehi, I'm currently 15 years old (year 10) and i'm starting to look at vocational ballet/dance schools to apply for when i'm 16. (Upper schools/6th Forms.) I'm a serious dancer, and i particularly love ballet, although do modern/jazz too. I train more or less daily alongside gym/pilates. I currently do festivals as-well and my mum coaches me for my solos (she's an ex dancer) I don't currently take any grades, but in class we've worked through the RAD advanced 2 syllabus and one of my teachers has suggested me taking the exam, so i'm around that level right now?? Anyway, I just wanted to know any info about dance schools... such as auditions, the standard, what it's like, personal experiences and also any way i can improve my training in advance for full-time training! Thank you!
choices at 16
bethany posted a topic in Doing DanceI would be interested in hearing experiences in training (particularly away from home) at age 16. I am especially looking for information that is not always easy to find on the website such as - accommodation options -accommodation costs -hidden costs -how did your child adapt to moving away -any concerns about safety -if the course was mixed age groups (eg some starting at 16 and some at 18) how did this work? At the moment we are trying to narrow down options and get a general feel for how things work so I'm not asking about any particular schools, all information would be welcome. Thanks in advance 🙂
Help with Funding
AliceK posted a topic in Doing DanceFirst time posting! Long time reader... My DD is at a full time vocational school and her funding (that was paid by a relative) is no longer available. Unfortunately said relative has decided to change their mind a year into her course. We are in an awful predicament, I've just changed jobs after being self employed for six years so no loan or credit card company will look at me. Does anyone have any ideas or help. I'll be calling the school too to beg... 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
European schools and intensives advice
Mae989 posted a topic in Doing DanceMy DD is currently Y9 and would like to focus on classical ballet. She is currently vocational but we are thinking about Y11 already (I'm a planner!) and where to go from here. Does anyone have any advise about which European schools have good reputations for full time and any experience of the intensives. She already has a list of UK schools she would like to audition for but I know there must be so much out there in Europe also. Top tips most welcome please! I am not from a dance background so am totally clueless!!!😬
Options for an 18 year old
Cantref posted a topic in Doing DanceCan anyone give advise to an 17 year old who desperately wants to study Ballet. She applied at 16 but as a non vocational student was not well informed on the process and probably aimed too high only applying to Royal Ballet, Elmhurst Ballet School, English National Ballet, Central Ballet School and Rambert. She got through to the final audition for Elmhurst but unfortunately did not secure a place. She was then talked into studying A'Levels and told to apply to dance schools at 18 instead. She is now regretting this decision and desperately wants to be in full time dance school but has missed most of this years auditions. She had a Distinction in her RAD Intermediate Ballet exam and was then moved straight to Advanced 1 which she is sitting this Spring. Looking at the options at 18 there doesn't seem to be many opportunities for a budding ballerina. She is a Contemporary associate but this is not her passion. Although she loves commercial dance she is not a singer. At a insight day she attended at Central Ballet School this year they basically said if you had not secured a place in ballet school at 16 it was too late. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Upper School Auditions 2016
carmen67 posted a topic in Doing DanceHi all. My DD is auditioning this year for entry to a BA in contemporary dance. I always keep an eye on this forum and it has been very informative for me and for her. I was wondering though does anyone know of any forums where they discuss contemporary dance as I know this one is mainly for ballet? She will be auditioning for Northern School of Contemporary Dance in Leeds, and Fontys and Codarts in the Netherlands. All advice or knowledge gratefully accepted! And good luck to all setting off on this rollercoaster year! I am terrified myself!
Central finals
Guest posted a topic in Doing DanceMy dd has central finals at the weekend and we are hoping that this could be her big chance - but not expecting it to be !! Does anyone know anything about the call backs? I'm sure that last year some were called back for an interview or maybe an extra class or something? Does anyone know why this was? Was it the ones that they weren't sure about? Good luck to everyone else there this weekend!!
Qualifications, Colleges, Schools & Funding
Trickybottom posted a topic in Doing DanceHi Could somebody please explain to me in simple terms the qualifications, different types of dance colleges and schools and funding options to me, its a minefield! My daughter is coming up to 15 and would like to go to dance college/school at 16, I personally feel its too young. I cant seem to understand all the different courses and what qualification if any it leads too, where you need funding, where you don't, how to apply for it etc. Where do I start? Many thanks
6th form level dance questions
bethany posted a topic in Doing DanceHello, I have some questions related to studying dance at age 16-18 if anyone can help please. I have quite a few questions but I hope it's ok to put them in one post? Background information - my daughter is currently in year 10 and we are trying to get all the information together to apply next year ready for a year 12 start the year after. Her main love is ballet but she is not at a level to go to vocational ballet school so we are looking at a more general dance course but definitely one that includes ballet. We live in the North so have mainly been looking at Manchester and surrounding areas so far but would consider others. As far as I can see we have 3 options: 1) Study extended btech dance / performing arts. The benefits that I can see for this option are that it is free and it would count as A level standard if she wants to then go on to university. We are lucky to have 2 colleges reasonably local (one specifically a dance college and one on a general college campus) that have very good reputations locally. The downside is that I'm not sure if they're respected within the dance industry. I'm not sure if this is because the training is at a lower standard or if they are considered an easy option? - I was wondering if anyone has any comments about this type of training? 2) Apply to a college that offers the chance for DADA funding / level 6 training eg Northern ballet in Manchester Unfortunately we are not in a position to self fund but we can afford the parental contributions if she did secure funding (which I know is a big if). We have looked into a few of these places and she feels they would be a good option. My questions for this option are: Can you use the level 6 qualification instead of A Levels to apply for uni if you wanted to go on to do a full degree course? If you accept DADA funding can you still apply for university student loans for fees and cost of living at a later date? Is it realistic to top up to a degree in 1 year assuming it was in the same subject or in reality is it a case of starting a degree course from scratch? 3) Study dance or performing arts at a private college (for example Phil Winstons theatre works) This is ideal in some ways as it is studied over 3 days a week so the student can work and contribute to their own fees. In order to accept students from age 16 then I understand they must be classed as further education but they don't seem to offer an actual qualification. I understand that these places are about being 'industry ready' but what if that doesn't work out. Can you use these courses towards any further study? Am I right in thinking that this type of training is usually entirely self funded? Any opinions / advice would be appreciated. Especially if there are any other things we can look into or if you think we have misunderstood anything. Thank you
Dance for 6th form
dancemum09 posted a topic in Doing DanceHi everyone My DD attends normal school at the moment and takes dance after school - she's year 10 at the moment. She's very keen to attend a vocational school for sixth form - but me and DH have agreed that A Levels still have happen! We've all agreed that Tring Park is probably the best option (although we're open to others) and I was hoping people could share their experiences of life at tring, specifically the environment and the 6th form dance course. Thanks!
KS Dance are holding a Vocational Audition at Pineapple tomorrow for all of their courses. You can simply turn up and class will begin at 10 30am in London.

Tring sixth form dance course
Siconne50 posted a topic in Doing DanceHi dd has a sixth form dance course audition soon, does anyone know how Tring compares to other schools such as Elmhurst, Central etc?

Thankyou!

Central Audition for 2018 Entry
sarahw posted a topic in Doing DanceJust to say my dd went to the Central audition in Glasgow at the weekend. It was fairly relaxed and friendly. There were 16 female and 2 male dancers. There was a 1 1/2 hour ballet class (about Inter to Adv 1 level) followed by a basic contemporary class. (DD has done only a small amount of contemporary and found it fine.) They were numbered in height order smallest first. The girls wore leotards of various colours - some camisole, some cap sleeved. Mostly single colour leotards, not much lace etc. From what I saw most wore discreet/low key make-up but some wore none. Sorry can't remember what boys wore but must've been fairly standard as I didn't notice! They were told results would be out soon!! I am happy to answer any questions if I can.
