Lack of Management Communication Holding Back UK Firms

Lack of Management Communication Holding Back UK Firms

Lack of communication between senior management and the wider business is responsible for the low motivation in the British workforce according to a recent survey by people development company, European Leaders.

Over two thirds (68%) of respondents fail to understand their company's vision, leading to a lack of motivation and reduced productivity. Sixty four per cent of those questioned claimed they could and would work much more efficiently with better motivation*.

These findings give context to a recent report conducted by the TUC which claimed that Britons are continuing to work longer hours than their European counterparts. This research suggests that, in part at least, the reason behind this 'long hours' culture, could be a lack of communication and motivation from senior teams across the country. Currently less than a fifth of respondents (18 %) view the business they work for as a good organisation and, as a result, only thirty six per cent describe themselves as working to their full potential.

In order to drive economic growth, improved productivity across UK Plc will be key however the current lack of motivation across our workforce threatens to hamper this. The findings suggest that there is a significant role to be played in reversing this trend by UK management. Employees across the country cited strong management as being crucial to building motivation amongst employees. Specific qualities highlighted as necessary from management included the ability to communicate passion and enthusiasm about work to employees (41%), the capacity to challenge employees to reach their full potential (41%), and help them find something that motivates them in the workplace (38%) as well as making work engaging (37%).

"It's widely accepted that people performance is the biggest influence in business performance, yet as a nation we're still not doing enough," Ashley Ward, directorof European Leaders, said.

"If you look at the UK's best companies to work for, their focus on company values and employee engagement is right at the top of their agenda. This is reflected by feedback from the employees themselves through rankings such as The Sunday Times.

"What this survey proves is there is a real need to develop and help employees grow, transforming profitability with little financial investment."

Other notable statistics of interest include:

- 31% of respondents are passionate and enthusiastic about their interests outside of work.

- 15% have skills and knowledge from their personal interests or hobbies which could be put to better use at work.

- 34% think a good manager should know when employees have under-used skills or expertise.

- 38% think a good manager should embrace new ideas and input from across the company.

"The fact that people want to be more involved in their work and their company shows they think about their employer's business and care about how they're managed," Ward continued.

"They have more to give and opening the minds of management to fresh ideas can release a huge amount of energy and skill from the workforce, benefiting the business bottom line as well as the employees as they become more passionate about the organisation they work in. A seemingly negligible investment can get teams much closer to their full potential performance, resulting in a happier workforce and significant financial benefits."

Amazon rated healthiest retailer in the US

Amazon rated healthiest retailer in the US

An investment advice firm has ranked the "financially healthiest" retailer in the US for the second year running.

According to the report from Consensus Advisors, the internet giant beat 160 retailers and this reflects the importance of a strong online presence.

Michael O'Hara, CEO of Consensus Advisors stated, " has exploited the increasing availability of broadband internet and mobile technology to build a fast growing and highly efficient retailing super-power."

The survey which was conducted by Consensus Advisors uses a number of measurements to calculate retail health, including asset utilisation, pricing power,and of course the strength of a company's balance sheet.

Companies Aeropostale and Urban Outfitters ranked on numbers two and three on the list.

O'Hara said that all of the companies in the top 10 of the list had, "used the exclusivity of their increasingly powerful, vertically-integrated brands to navigate the macro-economic trauma of the last 18 months by taking market share from their competitors, maintaining margins and inventory turns and avoiding debt".

Microsoft See's Rise In Windows Software Attacks

Microsoft See's Rise In Windows Software Attacks

Microsoft urged Windows users to update their software Tuesday, saying it's now seen more than 25,000 attacks leveraging one of the critical bugs fixed in July's monthly security patches.

Microsoft researchers tracked a "fairly large," spike in Web based attacks that exploit the problem over the past weekend, the company said in a blog postingTuesday. "As of midnight on July 12 (GMT), over 25,000 distinct computers in over 100 countries/regions have reported this attack attempt at least one time."

On the busiest single day, Microsoft researchers tracked more than 2,500 attacks, a small number considering Windows' massive user-base. Still, Microsoft and security experts are worried about this flaw because it's been publicly known for more than a month, and has shown up in real-world attacks.

Users in Russia are now the most-targeted, Microsoft said. They have accounted for 2 percent of all attacks, which translates to about 10 times the total number of attacks per computer as the worldwide average. Portugal is the number-two most-targeted region.

Successful attacks secretly install malicious software on the victim's machine, often a program called Obitel. Once Obitel is on a PC, it enables other malware to be loaded, such as malware that can log keystrokes, send spam, or perform other nefarious task.

Two weeks ago, the total number of attacks logged by Microsoft was 10,000.

Security experts say the flaw is being exploited in drive-by Web attacks that are triggered by malicious code placed on hacked or malicious Web sites, although it could also be triggered in other applications -- e-mail readers, for example -- that can interact with Web pages.

To protect themselves from these attacks, Windows users need to install the MS10-042 update, released Tuesday. It fixes a bug in the Windows Help and Support Center, which ships with Windows XP. Although this flaw also affects Windows Server 2003, Microsoft has only seen Windows XP attacks used by criminals.

More-recent versions of Windows such as Vista, Server 2008 and Windows 7 are not affected.

D.C. United must find home sites for two games

Requesting that MLS allows D.C. United play all home games at Audi Field, which won't open until June, MLS has denied that request.

D.C. United must find home sites for two games
Audi Field is set to open by late June. | Source: D.C. United

After requesting MLS to let them play all of their home games at Audi Field, D.C. United will have to find a home venue for two games.

It was an ambitious ask to play seventeen home games in four months (since Audi Field won’t be open until June), but not all is bad. It had been rumored that United would have to find a temporary home to play four games, but Steven Goff of the Washington Post has reported they will only have to play two games at an alternate stadium.

What this means for scheduling

D.C. United will play one “home” game in March and April respectively. According to Goff, the first home game for United will be against the Houston Dynamo on March 17. With the full MLS schedule being announced soon, we will learn the other team will have to play in what will surely be a different experience.

MLS denied D.C.’s request to play all home games starting in late June because it presents what could very well end up being an advantage for the capital club. A playoff push with even a couple more home games than competitors will be simply unfair.

Where will D.C. United go?

The question of where United will play their home games is still in the air. Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland seems to be the safe pick for United’s home match in April. Due to Navy women’s lacrosse having a home game on March 17, the home opener being there is out of the question.

The club has also looked into their games being at Maryland SoccerPlex, but due to the capacity being at 5,200, MLS might reject that site.

Another possibility is that the club could use RFK Stadium for their first home game. However, it might be a bit odd considering the “Farewell” ceremonies that United presented in their last match in the 2017 season.

Getting That First Impression To Last

Alicia Lavay

I was recently asked to provide suggestions on what works and what doesn't work when advertising products and services to the vending industry. This got me thinking about how important it is to tailor your message to the audience you want to reach. Whether you're a manufacturer, a supplier or an operator, you are communicating with fellow business owners. Therefore, you want a marketing message that's different from the one you deliver to consumers, because the motive for purchase is different.

Advertising is a great way to get customers' attention, educate them about your products and services and leave a positive impression, so they will remember you. It's not unlike hiring a telemarketer to do the prequalification and first-contact calling for you. Once you have that qualified buyer's attention, though, the rest is up to you: you are the one who must follow up on the lead and close the deal.

As the saying goes, you never get a second chance to make a good first impression. This is true not only for face-to-face encounters, but also for the marketing messages you use to encourage a potential buyer to respond, and hopefully, let you set up that initial meeting. It's no wonder that a well-thought-out marketing strategy is an essential complement to a company's sales efforts; one is not independent of the other.

That said, here are some suggestions when implementing your company's 2012 advertising campaign:

1. Keep it real. When writing ad copy, remember that you are talking to other business executives and salespeople, so you need to speak their language. Be professional and don't insult their intelligence or waste their time with exaggerated claims. Express the offer clearly; say what's necessary and then stop. Let them know how you can help their businesses and make money for them. And if you're going to offer a discount, make sure it's something substantial or don't do it at all.

2. Keep it fresh. Change your print and Web ads as frequently as possible. Especially on the Web, readers become "blind" when they see the same copy over and over again. If they think it's the same old thing, they may not click on the ad or return to the website. If you use brochures, catalogues or sell-sheets as leave-behinds, they should also be updated at least quarterly with new seasonal offerings.

3. Market your brand. While it's important to periodically update the copy in all your marketing materials, one element such as the company logo or slogan should always remain consistent. Prospects will make a purchase when they are ready to buy, and may keep a trade publication or catalogue on hand as a reference for 12 months or longer. When that time comes, you want them to remember your company name so they will buy from you.

4. Keep it current. Including "QR codes" and referencing social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter in your advertising conveys the message that you are on top of the latest trends. And if you're running a banner ad, make sure your website is user friendly, refreshed daily and the information current. If you're selling to more than one audience (for example, consumers and operators, or foodservice and vending operators) then you need a website (or pages) for each group. One size does not fit all.

5. Encourage prospects to take action, and don't overlook the opportunity to upÂsell. In your Internet advertising, offer a special link that invites the visitor to "click here." You want to keep buyers engaged as long as possible. If they click and are directed to a specific landing page or website, you have the opportunity to sell them another product or service they might not have known you provide.

6. Make it easy for them to buy. Always include a highly visible phone number and email address in all corporate brochures, and in print and interactive ads. And make sure that, when they call, they are not given the runaround. In the time it takes for the buyer to find you, you already may have lost the sale to a competitor.

Now that you're ready to put these ideas into practice and execute an effective marketing plan, the rest is really up to you. Make sure your salespeople are educated about your products and able to answer any questions and deal with objections. If you can't provide prospects with the information they need immediately, they may find someone else at another company who can.

Remember, the sale begins with the first impression and you may not get a second chance. Be sure your company's advertising message makes a positive impact on prospects, influences them to buy, includes a call to action and lands you that next big account -- and be sure that this message is in front of them when they see the need to buy.

Your success is our success. Vending Times is only as healthy as its customers. Here's to a prosperous 2012 for all of us!

Travel With Kids

With an incredible, multicultural history and thrilling escapes at every turn, Macau is a wonderful destination for the entire family, whether they are 8 or 88.

The first step of every trip to Macau is the hotel.  Parents can choose from suites designed especially for their Famiglia, Famille, or Family, with separate areas for children and parents, at The Venetian Macao, The Parisian Macao, and the Sheraton Grand hotels.

Once you’ve settled in, make your way to the Kung Fu Panda to learn some new moves, Po’s Kung Fu Feast to have breakfast with your favourite characters.  Just make sure the penguins don’t steal your dumplings!

Head into the city to explore the Ruins of St Paul’s Cathedral, Senado Square, and A-Ma Temple to feel the history of the city as it went from Chinese to Portuguese and back again. Then, head to the top or The Macau Tower to see all that it has become today.  Little explorers will also love to spend an entire afternoon with the exhibits in the Science Center.

When it’s time for mom and dad to get some well-deserved rest by the pool, let the kids get out their energy playing at Qube 2 Kids Club, Planet J, or at the brand new Aqua World water park, home to Macau’s tallest water slides.

End an incredible time with a family cruise down the Grand Canal in one of The Venetian’s iconic gondolas, taking in the juggling Streetmosphere performers and the incredibly detailed architectural recreations that line the canal. Then, make your way to the top of The Parisian’s Eiffel Tower to see the city and the hotel from a brand new angle.

Within Sands:

  • Grand Canal, The Venetian Macao
  • Eiffel Tower, The Parisian Macao
  • Planet J or Qube 2
  • Po’s Kung Fu Feast OR Po’s Kung Fu Academy

Around Macau:

  • Ruins of St. Paul’s
  • Fortaleza do Monte (Mount Fortress)
  • AMa Temple & Cultural Area
  • Senado Square
  • Macau Science Center OR Macau Tower
  • Macau Giant Panda Pavilion

Tour Routing Suggestions

When all you want is to lounge in extravagant luxury, indulge in a spa treatment or two, and splurge on a romantic dinner on top of the Eiffel Tower, your kids will have more than enough fun things to do on their own. Let them careen down Macau’s tallest waterslides at The Parisian, enjoy the games and make new friends at Qube 2 or Planet J, indulge in a couple extra egg tarts at lunch, and give them the ultimate dinner surprise: room service and their favourite film in their very own section of the hotel room, complete with bunk beds, toys, games, and, of course, a TV, DVD player, and movies.

Reunite when you get back from the Eiffel Tower’s 37th floor observation decks or at Po’s Kung Fu Feast breakfast buffet in the morning to hear all about their incredible adventures in Macau. Then, pose for a picture with the most popular characters from the DreamWorks movies at the only place in Macau where you can meet Po, Toothless, Astrid, King Julian, Alex, the Penguins, and Shrek to round out an incredible day of family fun.

Immerse you and your family in the Portuguese history of Macau, from the architecture of Senado Square to the top of Mount Fortress.  Maybe even stop on the way to the top and nibble on one of the city’s famous Pepper Buns.  Then, tour the more Chinese side of the city at A-Ma Temple and the surrounding cultural complex.  Older than the United States or Australia, this temple was the religious centre of Macau in its day.

Spring into the future with a trip to the top of the Macau Tower.  On a clear day you can see the entire city of Macau, Zhuhai across the water, and even Hong Kong’s Lantau Island.  Head back down to earth and tour the incredible exhibits at the Science Museum, twelve permanent exhibitions and several temporary ones are sure to spark the imagination of even the most reluctant scientist.

Poison Ivy Treatment and Prevention Guide

Outsmarting Poison Ivy and Treating the Rash

Woman scratching her legs

While the outdoor play is healthy for kids, poison ivy can be a big problem for children playing outside. Poison ivy can also be a hazard to gardeners, people landscaping their yards, hikers, campers, and anyone else who likes to spend time outdoors.

Although some people truly are immune to poison ivy, most people develop a rash after coming into contact with poison ivy or the similar plants, poison sumac and poison oak.

If you think you are immune because you have never developed a rash before, keep in mind that it can sometimes take multiple exposures or several years before you finally begin to develop an allergic response to urushiol, the chemical in poison ivy that triggers the rash that most people get.

Whether or not you think that your kids are immune to poison ivy, it is a good idea to not take any chances and to teach your kids how to recognize and avoid poison ivy. Unfortunately, the old 'leaves of three, let it be' phrase isn't usually enough to help kids avoid poison ivy.

Avoiding Poison Ivy

First, review some pictures of poison ivy so that you and your kids know what it looks like. Also, see  how to identify poison oak and poison sumac as can trigger the same rash. These pictures demonstrate a lot of things you should look for to help you identify and avoid poison ivy, including:

  • Three leaflets ('leaves of three, let it be')
  • The middle leaflet has a longer stalk (petiole) than the other two
  • Leaflets are fatter near their base
  • Elliptical leaflets with slight lobes
  • Leaflets are all about the same size
  • No thorns along the stem
  • Clusters of green or white berries may be present
  • Aerial roots may be visible on the stem

You can also block contact by dressing your kids in long pants and a shirt with long sleeves, boots, and gloves when they will be most at risk, especially when playing in wooden areas, around lakes, or going on hikes.

Treating Exposures

If you are exposed, according to the FDA, you should quickly (within 10 minutes):

  1. First, cleanse exposed areas with rubbing alcohol.
  2. Next, wash the exposed areas with water only (no soap yet, since soap can move the urushiol, which is the oil from the poison ivy that triggers the rash, around your body and actually make the reaction worse).
  3. Now, take a shower with soap and warm water.
  4. Lastly, put gloves on and wipe everything you had with you, including shoes, tools, and your clothes, with rubbing alcohol and water.

You have to be quick. If you wait more than 10 minutes, the urushiol will likely stay on your skin and trigger the poison ivy rash. You may not be able to stop it on your skin, but you might still scrub your nails and wipe off your shoes, etc. so that you don't spread the urushiol to new areas.

Commercial products, like Zanfel, Ivy Cleanse Towelettes, and Tecnu Extreme Poison Ivy Scrub, are also available over-the-counter, if you don't want to use rubbing alcohol.

Remember that poison ivy isn't contagious so touching the rash won't actually spread it. Since your kids get poison ivy a lot, having a "poison ivy action kit" ready, with rubbing alcohol, a large bottle of water and some soap might be a good idea.

Since rubbing alcohol can be poisonous, children should be supervised with it though and it is not something you should send off into the woods with them.

Unfortunately, few people recognize their poison ivy exposure or are aware enough to wash off the urushiol within 10 minutes to prevent a reaction. Others don't even recognize their exposure to poison ivy. Unless they are one of the lucky few who is immune to poison ivy, many of these children who are exposed to poison ivy will eventually develop a rash.

Symptoms of Poison Ivy

After exposure to the leaves, stems, or roots of a poison ivy plant, children develop symptoms of poison ivy within 8 hours to a week or so, including:

  • An intensely itchy rash
  • Red bumps that often are in a straight line or streaks, from where the poison ivy plant had contact with your child's skin
  • Vesicles and blisters that are filled with fluid

Keep in mind that children exposed to poison sumac and poison oak, other members of the genus Rhus or Toxicodendron, can get these same symptoms that are generically referred to as poison ivy symptoms above.

(Using medical terminology, these children develop Rhus dermatitis or allergic contact dermatitis, an intensely pruritic, linear, erythematous, papulovesicular rash after exposure to the urushiol oil in poison ivy.)

Other characteristic signs and symptoms of poison ivy are that the rash will worsen over days or weeks. without treatment with steroids. The rash may not go away for up to three weeks without treatment. Many children will have worsening symptoms with each exposure. Some areas of a child's skin that had less exposure to the poison ivy plant will get the rash later than others.

Poison Ivy Treatments

Typical treatments for poison ivy are going to be directed at helping to control your child's itching and can include non-steroidal topical medications, topical steroids, oral antihistamines (Benadryl), and/or oral steroids (prednisone) or a steroid shot.

Wet dressings, compresses, or soaks with Domeboro solution mixed with water (modified Burow's Solution) or Aveeno oatmeal baths can be especially soothing for itchy rashes.

Examples include:

  • Atarax (hydroxyzine, a prescription oral antihistamine)
  • Aveeno Anti-Itch Cream with Natural Colloidal Oatmeal
  • Aveeno 1% Hydrocortisone Anti-Itch Cream (OTC topical steroid)
  • Band-Aid Anti-Itch Gel
  • Caladryl Clear Topical Analgesic Skin Lotion
  • Calamine Lotion
  • Cortizone 10 (OTC topical steroid)
  • Cutivate cream 0.05% (prescription topical steroid)
  • Domeboro Astringent Solution Powder Packets
  • Gold Bond Maximum Strength Medicated Anti-Itch Cream
  • Itch-X Anti-Itch Gel with Soothing Aloe Vera
  • Locoid cream 0.1% (prescription topical steroid)
  • Triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% (prescription topical steroid)

Newer medications that are supposed to target poison ivy symptoms include:

  • Burts's Bees Poison Ivy Soap
  • Cortaid Poison Ivy Care Treatment Kit
  • Ivarest Medicated Cream
  • IvyStat
  • Tecnu Extreme Poison Ivy Scrub
  • Zanfel Wash For Poison Ivy, Oak & Sumac

If your child has a history of severe reactions to poison ivy or his rash is quickly spreading, be sure to see your pediatrician right away for professional help. Keep in mind that many children need prescription strength oral steroids or a steroid shot to avoid severe poison ivy reactions.

Where You Encounter It

If your child gets a poison ivy rash, or especially if he gets it over and over, it is important to figure out where he is getting exposed to the poison ivy plants. Is it in your backyard, at the playground, or on the way to school? According to the FDA, other things to look for to avoid poison ivy and related plants include that:

Poison Ivy

  • Grows around lakes and streams in the Midwest and the East
  • Woody, ropelike vine, a trailing shrub on the ground, or a free-standing shrub
  • Normally three leaflets (groups of leaves all on the same small stem coming off the larger main stem), but may vary from groups of three to nine
  • Leaves are green in the summer and red in the fall
  • Yellow or green flowers and white berries

Poison Oak

  • Eastern (from New Jersey to Texas) grows as a low shrub; Western (along the Pacific coast) grows to 6-foot-tall clumps or vines up to 30 feet long
  • Oak-like leaves, usually in clusters of three
  • Clusters of yellow berries

Poison Sumac

  • Grows in boggy areas, especially in the Southeast
  • Rangy shrub up to 15 feet tall
  • 7 to 13 smooth-edged leaflets
  • Glossy pale yellow or cream-colored berries

Getting Rid of Poison Ivy in Your Yard

Once you identify poison ivy, especially if it is in your backyard, you will want to get rid of it, unless it is a part of your yard that you and your kids can simply avoid. Unfortunately, trying to get rid of poison ivy can be difficult and dangerous, since the poison ivy plants often grow back and you run the very big risk of getting exposed while trying to kill the plants.

Some options to consider to get rid of poison ivy include:

  • Call a professional landscaper to remove the poison ivy plants, especially if you have a lot of poison ivy in your yard.
  • Spray the poison ivy plants with an herbicide, such as Roundup or Ortho Poison Ivy Killer, keeping in mind that they can also kill surrounding plants too.
  • Manually remove the poison ivy plants, including the roots.
  • Repeat spraying or manually removing the poison ivy plants as they grow back.

If removing the poison ivy plants on your own, be sure to wear protection and keep in mind that urushiol can remain on your clothing and gloves, etc., causing a rash if you later touch them. It's best to wear gloves and clothes you can simply trash so you aren't bringing the toxic oil into your house, washing machine, and clothes dryer.

Also, be sure to properly dispose of the poison ivy plants, since even a dead poison ivy plant can trigger a reaction. Also, never burn a poison ivy plant, as that can trigger a deadly reaction to anyone who is exposed to the smoke.

Health Risks of Sleep Apnea

Health Problems Linked to Sleep-Disordered Breathing

There is considerable evidence that sleep apnea does much more than just disrupt your sleep. Sleep apnea – which commonly occurs in those who snore loudly – is defined by recurrent pauses in breathing. This may be caused either by obstruction of the airway or by the brain forgetting to prompt a breath. When this happens, oxygen levels fall, carbon dioxide levels rise, and there is a spike in blood pressure, heart rate, and hormones like cortisol as the body reawakens to breathe.

Sleep apnea has been linked to many chronic medical conditions, and even sudden death. Learn about the association between sleep apnea and hypertension, heart disease, heart failure, heart attack, stroke, and sudden death.

It is estimated that 50-70% of people with sleep apnea have hypertension, or high blood pressure. This increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other health problems. Laboratory experiments in animals have shown a cause-and-effect relationship, with the presence of sleep apnea leading to a later development of hypertension. In people with hard-to-control hypertension, it may be that sleep apnea is contributing. It is shocking that 96% of men requiring three blood pressure medications have sleep apnea contributing to the problem! Effective treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) can help to improve blood pressure as much as a blood pressure medication.

Coronary Artery Disease and Heart Attack

The risk for cardiovascular disease increases due to several mechanisms. Sleep apnea can lead to activation of the sympathetic nervous system. This is responsible for the "fight-or-flight" response. Imagine the stress on your body that occurs when a lion is chasing you, this is the sympathetic nervous system at work.

Apnea events may lead to bursts of cortisol, the stress hormone, repeatedly during sleep. In addition, sleep apnea leads to problems with the lining of blood vessels, inflammation, and problems with metabolic regulation and diabetes. All of these can cause problems with blood vessels and this coronary artery disease may lead to major problems like a heart attack.

According to research, the association between stroke and sleep apnea is perhaps as strong as the association between smoking and stroke. There may be several factors involved. During apnea, blood vessels within the brain dilate when the oxygen levels fall. Moreover, individuals with sleep apnea have higher levels of blood factors that make them more susceptible to clots that may lead to stroke. About half of people with atrial fibrillation, a major risk factor for stroke, have sleep apnea contributing to these episodes. Approximately 40-60% of people with stroke are found to have obstructive sleep apnea.

Congestive Heart Failure

When apneic events occur, the decreased levels of oxygen can cause blood vessels in the lungs to constrict. This increases the blood pressure in these vessels, and over time may lead to chronic right-sided heart failure.

High blood pressure is a major contributor to left-sided heart failure. Some studies have shown that as many as 37% of people with heart failure may have sleep apnea. Untreated sleep apnea may increase the likelihood of death over years.

Sudden Death

In a study of patients who died suddenly who had had recent sleep studies performed, it was shown that almost half of the patients with sleep apnea died between the hours of midnight to 6 a.m., compared with 21% without sleep apnea. It is possible that these individuals died suddenly during periods of apnea. These deaths could occur due to breathing dysfunction contributing to cardiac arrhythmia, heart attack, and stroke.

The Good News

The good news is that there is effective treatment for sleep apnea and this can help eliminate many of these risks associated with the disease. Improve your sleep, your daily function, and your long-term health by finding a therapy that you can live with.

Don’t get us wrong. We’re thrilled that Mickey’s been taken back to the drawing board, but we’d still love another Spector-directed Deus Ex. And hey! So would Warren Spector!

“There were and still are ‘Deus Ex’ stories I would like to tell. That story is not done for me,” he told Variety’s Cut Scene blog. “[For the sci-fi game] I sort of filed the serial numbers off. ‘Deus Ex’ was very much a game of the millennium.”

Eidos, however, has plans of its own for the Deus Ex franchise. And though Spector attempted to scrounge together some cash and purchase the license, Eidos refused to sell.

There’s more through the link, including some tidbits on Junction Point Studios’ early days. Read it. Impress your friends with your knowledge of useless videogame trivia!

Free Will Astrology: May 21 through 27

ARIES [March 21–April 19] After working for years in various jobs at San Francisco TV station KTVU, Frank Sommerville was promoted to the top of the heap—lead anchorman of the 10 o’clock news program. He promised that his new power wouldn’t make him lazy or complacent. “Nobody will out-curious me,” he bragged. I hope you will adopt the same motto for the foreseeable future, Aries. Your world needs you to be intensely inquisitive about what’s transpiring. Uncoincidentally, asking lots of smart questions (and even some dumb ones) will also be the best possible thing you can do for your mental health.

TAURUS [April 20–May 20] “The Irish don’t know what they want and are prepared to fight for it,” said British attorney Sidney Littlewood. I don’t endorse that assertion, but I want it to create a cautionary message for you: Make sure that in the upcoming weeks, no one can say the same thing to you. I hope you aggressively champion an idea you believe in, but you should get clearer about exactly what it is.

GEMINI [May 21–June 20] Giuseppe Rebaudi and Silvie Basain started dating in 1952. This year, they finally decided to take the next step. After a 56-year courtship, the 101-year-old Italian man wed his 98-year-old girlfriend. I predict that a comparable event will bless your love life in the second half of 2008, Gemini. Some romantic development that has been in the works for a long time will finally ripen into its full expression. Expect news about this soon.

CANCER [June 21–July 22] If you’re normal, you periodically feel little surges of anger that you don’t express. Over time, they may accumulate into a mass of blind rage that can hurt innocent bystanders, damage your relationships, and tempt you to punch holes in walls. The way to keep this from happening is my patented Laughing Tantrum Release Therapy, a five-minute ritual that you perform once a week in a private place. For four minutes, you fume, seethe, curse, and yell. For the final 60 seconds, you compel yourself to laugh uncontrollably. This week would be an excellent time to start integrating Laughing Tantrum Release Therapy into your routine.

LEO [July 23–August 22] Guerrilla gardening is my favorite kind of prank: a benevolent one. The practitioners of this growing global movement are fertility agitators who sneak onto unused fields under cover of broad daylight, often in urban landscapes, and cultivate flowers, herbs, and food crops. I recommend that you experiment with a metaphorically similar project in the coming weeks. Without seeking permission, cultivate beauty and value in a place that’s neglected or going to waste.

VIRGO [August 23–September 22] “Dear Star-Reader Brezsny: You are the only wizard who can save me. I have a bad job—just $72,000 a year—plus a lover who’s not all that cute and a home that’s not worth as much as it used to be. My health is good, but I hate my nose and ass. Can’t afford a BMW or a vacation to Spain. My world is unraveling! Please tell me what to do! —Virgo on the Verge.” Dear VOTV: I suggest that you temporarily suspend your strident yearning. This is one time when it’s important to cultivate more appreciation for what you actually have. I urge you and all Virgos to turn your attention away from what you think you lack, and devote your psychic energy to loving what is.

LIBRA [September 23–October 22] Even if you’re not sick, you need some medicine: the kind that can transform what’s pretty good about your life into something that’s really great; the kind that will super-animate your merely average efforts and blast you free of any lackadaisical attitudes you’ve come to accept as reasonable. This medicine won’t be a pill or a potion, but will be produced by your own body if and when you slip away from your comfort zone and go out to play in the frontier. Be your own doctor, Libra. Crack your own code. Escape your own mind games.

SCORPIO [October 23–November 21] Your life in the coming weeks may resemble a dream of sailing deep beneath the waves in a yellow submarine where a nonstop party is going on. It’ll be as if you’re plowing through deep, heavy, murky waters inside a brightly lit high-tech vessel that is controlled by slightly chaotic connoisseurs of fun. You may feel a bit claustrophobic, but that could encourage your imagination to run wild, which will be a good thing as long as you don’t believe everything it tells you. Get ready for entertaining adventures that will range from being a bit creepy to totally delicious.

SAGITTARIUS [November 22–December 21] During America’s first war on Iraq in 1991, I prophesied that one day there’d be a Disneyland in Baghdad. Now, 17 years later, my absurd prediction is coming true: The same American company that designed the original Disneyland plans to build the Baghdad Zoo and Entertainment Experience. If workers survive bombing and sniper fire, the first part of the 50-acre amusement park will open this year. While I question whether building a monument to fun is a good idea in an actual war zone, it’s an excellent metaphor for you to apply to your personal life. Even if you can’t extinguish a certain conflict that has been raging, try to introduce a spirit of play into the proceedings.

CAPRICORN [December 22–January 19] I’m issuing a too-much-of-a-good-thing warning: Soaking up too much pleasure could dilute the value of your bliss. Pushing too hard on behalf of your creative pragmatism could undermine the labor of love you’ve worked so hard on. Therefore, Capricorn, please accept my invitation to enjoy a period of rest and assimilation. You can return later for another round of pure intensity.

AQUARIUS [January 20–February 18] Studies show that at least half the population would give up sex for a few months if they were rewarded for their abstinence with a free 60-inch plasma TV. But if you’re offered a deal like that anytime soon, Aquarius, I suggest you reject it. According to my analysis of the omens, it will be crucial to your mental, physical, and spiritual health to have regular erotic experiences during the coming weeks. If you don’t have a partner, have fun with your invisible muse, the angel in your dreams, or your personal version of God or Goddess.

PISCES [February 19–March 20] A professional dominatrix I know says that many of her clients are men whose jobs give them excessive authority over other people. When she’s bossing around these honchos, she sees herself as an agent of karmic correction. I bring this up, Pisces, because you’re in a phase when you should rectify any imbalance of power that exists in your own sphere. If you’re a swaggering alpha male or female, put in a stint as a humble servant. If you’re normally a timid soul, flex your willpower with feisty abandon. If you’re neither a control freak nor a doormat—and thus have no karma to balance—spend quality time meditating on how to gain more power over the wild ebbs and flows of your imagination.

How To Lose Your Virginity

An eye-opening and irreverent documentary journey through religion, history, pop culture and $30 internet hymens. By turns hilarious and horrifying, the film reveals the myths and misogyny behind virginity in America, and what we can do to change the conversation. A film by Therese Shechter, director of I Was A Teenage Feminist

“Shechter’s movie, with a breezy, watchable, funny delivery, walks us through the simple argument baked into the very term virginity — one that we still use freely — the idea of a woman’s body as an object for transaction.”
— Salon
“The film doesn’t advocate sexual activity or abstinence—only that what you do should be your choice and your timing and free from judgment or shame. My girls have both seen the film and appreciated its candor and that of the young people in it.”
— Lynne, mother of two teenage girls
“We at Bedsider think spaces for conversations like these should exist all around campus and we’re very grateful that you were able to take part in creating one of those spaces. I was especially grateful to the way you open up the space for people in all parts of their sexual journey.”
— Bedsider at New York University
“A very open and intelligent film...approaches the difficult subject with warmth and humor. I recommend it for anyone who desires a serious, grown-up, critical overview of the issue of sex and virginity in contemporary America.”
— Anthropology Review

The Eagles Nest

How do you like your eggs? These days, it's with an eagle sitting right on top of ‘em.

If you're not in the know about the three eggs laid last month by a female bald eagle in the Hays neighborhood of Pittsburgh, then you've been missing out.

Right now it's about 2 p.m. on a Monday, and I'm watching the live eagle cam feed along with 1,556 other people in and around Pittsburgh. And I mean AROUND Pittsburgh. The dude from PixController, the Murrysville-based company that teamed with the Pennsylvania Game Commission to provide the solar-powered camera to film Mother Nature in real-time action, tells me that people are watching these eagles from AROUND THE WORLD.

All told, 650,000 different computers (or unique viewers in geek speak) have watched the stream. The breakdown goes like this:

  • 40 percent are from the Pittsburgh metro area and Pennsylvania;
  • 30 percent are from other parts of the U.S.;
  • and the remaining 30 percent are from around the world, including Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia.

And you can bet all the eggs in the basket that this number will get blown out of the water when the first egg hatches around March 26. Then, well, I just don't know how ANYONE is going to get ANY work done!

Yes, on a Monday afternoon in March, 1,560 other peeps (not chicks but people) and I are currently watching Mama Eagle (or is it Papa Eagle?) snuggle, rotate and carefully care for their three egg offspring. I've read that the female is slightly larger than the male and that the male has a white spot on his right side, but I have yet to discern the difference between the two when I see them together in the nest. One seems more persnickety in the arranging of the leaves, twigs, sticks and straw that make up the mammoth nest, so my money's on her as Momma bird. Throughout the day, the pair seems to take turns being in the nest, but I've seen them snuggling together, too. Just like comfortably married couples... well, when one of them doesn't snore like a train.

And speaking of trains, their action and accompanying sounds - nor the action of car horns, trash pick-up, the back-up beeper sounds that large trucks make going in reverse or seemingly anything else - seems to bother this pair of bald eagles. Well, that's not totally true. The raccoon last week who tried to poach the eggs, so to speak, by invading the nest stirred things up quite a bit, but the standoff had the raccoon backing down none to soon. Not surprising since these eagles are about three-feet tall in length and purported to have a wing span of seven feet. So if you see that hungry raccoon hanging around the South Side, you might want to let him know that he might consider looking for eggs from some other nest. I hear Canada Geese are too plentiful along our riverbanks these days.

Dr. Steven E Pratt Is this you?

Dr. Steven E Pratt has the following 2 specialties

  • Neurology

    A neurologist is a physician who diagnoses and treats disorders of the nervous system which is comprised of the brain, spinal cord and nerves. These doctors do not perform surgery, but refer patients to neurological surgeons when they determine that surgical intervention is necessary.
    Some of the conditions that neurologists diagnose and treat are epilepsy, aneurysms, hydrocephalus, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke, spinal disc herniation, and spinal disease.
    In addition to using diagnostic tests like MRI, CT scans, EEG and EMG, neurologists also employ neurological testing to gauge muscle strength and movement, balance, reflexes, sensation, memory, speech, and other cognitive abilities.

  • Psychiatry

    A psychiatrist is a doctor with specific training in the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness.
    He or she can not only provide the counseling necessary to both diagnose and treat a patient, but can also prescribe medication when needed. In some cases, a psychiatrist will only provide the medication and the counseling will be provided by another healthcare specialist, like a certified counselor or psychologist.
    Like other doctors, psychiatrists employ diagnostic tools like CT scans and MRI in order to observe the structure and function of a patient's brain.
    Once a diagnosis is made, these specialists may use behavior or cognitive therapy in order to address the patient's condition, or a multitude of other types of therapy, in conjunction with or in place of medication.

Use MAC as username - new mode of login that users only need to enter password. Also support passive login that users don't need to enter anything at all (e.g. useful in IP phone) (new!)

Bandwidth throttling - applying limits on bandwidth consumption globally or down to per-user level to stop network abuse

EU Presses Hungary to Make Further Spending Cuts

A dealer stands in the trading room of investment house BudaCash after bonds plunged further in a deepening crisis due to the government's widely-criticized policy course, in Budapest, Hungary, January 5, 2012.

The European Union is heightening its pressure on Hungary for reforms, saying that it has failed to effectively control its budget deficit and that its new constitution may be unlawful.

EU economy minister Olli Rehn said Wednesday that the Budapest government has failed to permanently keep its deficit spending below the EU-mandated level of 3 percent of the country's economic output.

"It is on an unsustainable path and will reach about 3 percent next year and thus again breach the reference value of the treaty. This is why we have concluded that Hungary has not taken effective action in response to the council recommendations," said Rehn.

Rehn said the EU could withhold development funds for Hungary if it does not curtail its spending.

Meanwhile, the EU also said it is nearing completion of a review to determine whether Hungary's new constitution violates EU standards by curtailing the independence of the country's judges, the central bank and its data protection agency. Some critics say the constitutional changes pushed through by Prime Minister Viktor Orban's parliamentary majority in December could return the one-time Soviet-bloc country to an authoritarian state.

Hungary is seeking a bailout of up to $25 billion from the EU and International Monetary Union, but talks were suspended over the assistance after the central bank provisions were approved.

Meanwhile, even Germany, Europe's economic powerhouse, said it is not immune from the effects of the continent's slowing economy and the effects of the two-year governmental debt crisis. Germany said Wednesday its economy shrunk by a quarter of a percentage point in the last three months of 2011.

Some information for this report was provided by AP and AFP.

Syria on Agenda as Jordan's King Visits White House

  • VOA News

FILE - President Barack Obama, Feb. 20, 2016.

President Barack Obama is hosting Jordan's King Abdullah II at the White House on Wednesday for talks focused on the battle against the Islamic State group and the humanitarian fallout from the war in Syria.

Jordan has been taking part in the U.S.-led coalition conducting airstrikes against Islamic State targets in both Iraq and Syria.

A White House statement said the two leaders will discuss efforts to counter the militants as well as ways to resolve the five-year Syrian conflict.

The meeting comes as the U.S. and Russia work to convince opposing sides in Syria to participate in a cease-fire starting on Saturday.

FILE - A Syrian army soldier stands on top of a vehicle carrying a gun in Salma, Syria.
FILE - A Syrian army soldier stands on top of a vehicle carrying a gun in Salma, Syria.

The Syrian war, and to a lesser extent the violence in Iraq, have prompted a massive wave of refugees to seek safety in Jordan.

The United Nations said 638,000 Syrians and tens of thousands of Iraqi refugees are currently in Jordan, a nation of about 8 million people.

Refugee populations

Jordan and other countries in the region that are supporting large refugee populations have struggled with the burden of providing services. Wednesday's meetings will include discussion of how the U.S. can support Jordan in that effort.

The leaders are also due to discuss how to move forward the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was in Jordan Sunday to meet with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, and reiterated his urge for calm and a decrease in violence.

Yes, as usual, if you don't see me on messenger just drop me an email. And yes, your sentence is almost perfect, but I would like you to refer to it as lower end... so maybe there are similar words to 'enrichment' and also you could use the negative form.
I have always met nice people so far, and I have never had a strange friends request. So far I only had problems with my grammar in various foreign languages that I am trying to acquire.
