How your course is organised

How is my course structured?

HNC and HND courses

Over 65% of our students are currently studying for higher national awards (HNC and HND). The UHI policy is to seek to join up our awards wherever possible with direct entry from an HNC into the second year and from an HND into the third year of related degree. In some cases HNC and HND courses provide years one and two of degree courses.

How it works

  • HN programmes are made up of elements called units. Each unit is usually worth between one and three credits.
  • Students require 12 credits to achieve an HNC. HNC courses are usually made up of around 10 units.
  • Students require 30 credits to achieve an HND. HND courses are usually made up of around 22 units.
  • Some units are core, and must be taken; others are optional.

Length of study

  • HNC – one year full time
  • HND – two years full time

CertHE, DipHE, BA, BSc and Honours degrees

UHI undergraduate degrees cover a wide range of subjects. Students who do not wish to commit themselves to three or four years of study at the outset may enrol for a certificate or diploma in higher education (CertHE or DipHE) as an alternative.

How it works

  • An academic year consists of two semesters.
  • Full-time students usually study four modules per semester; eight modules per year.
  • Some modules are core, and must be taken; others are optional.
  • Some courses offer module streams that can help you build a specialism in your subject area.
  • Others offer a free elective - a module from outwith your subject area.
  • Most include a module devoted to developing an independent project.

Length of study

  • CertHE – one year full time
  • DipHE – two years full time
  • BA/BSc – three years full time
  • Honours – four years full time

Individuals Are Unique Because Of Their Strengths Education Essay

This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.

An individual is unique because of both their great strengths and weaknesses.Â By a thorough personal reflection a leader can identify their most beneficial and hindering traits.Â Leadership as an ongoing process goes synonymously with adaptation, and when the identification of the strengths and weaknesses of a leader takes place not only can that leader utilize the style of leadership they are most suited to, but improve themselves in areas they consider weak.Â With such a large number of positive traits that a leader may possess it is only appropriate that an equal number of weaknesses exist to oppose those strengths.Â As a leader one must take advantage of the skills they believe to be their greatest attributes; whether it is the charismatic ability to speak articulately to those they lead, or the skills and practical knowledge to lead by example leaders must embrace what is most comfortable.Â With regards to my own personal strengths as a leader I find I thrive in the areas of: Interpersonal relationships, drive for success, and the vision I bring to both projects and defining success.Â As weaknesses I have decided to explore my need for more attention to detail, time management skills, and ability to stay on task.Â By reflecting on both strengths and weaknesses I possess I can conclude my leadership style is a transformational one.Â

Â Interpersonal interactions and relationships are the building blocks of a successful team within my leadership style.Â The individuals who I am leading must feel comfortable enough to approach me in any circumstance because communication is extremely important to me.Â I believe with great team chemistry great achievements are possible in any circumstances.Â Through the use of my wit, charm and ability to interact on a more than superficial level I can build strong relationships with those I work with and lead.Â By providing an open atmosphere the opportunity to be informed about the condition of the project and the condition of those participating in the project presents itself.Â Leaders are responsible in providing inspiration and through great interpersonal skills I find both as a leader and a follower, that inspiration is easy to encounter.Â The support that a leader can provide to those they are leading is limitless when they have the skills to interact on a personal level.Â By supporting and giving valuable feedback in an appropriate manor a leader not only gains the trust but teaches and aids in the transformation of individuals they interact with.Â As both a leader and a peer I have been an extremely supportive individual in both personal, financial and educational matters I believe a support system is an invaluable asset for success in most if not all aspects of life.Â With the amount of support a leader must give to those they are leading interpersonal relationships are an absolute necessity.Â Through my previous experiences as a leader I know that the general open and supporting atmosphere I provide has been an extremely effective tool which I embrace every time I get the opportunity to lead.

Â When faced with a challenge, in any circumstances, a leader must have the drive for success that will help them overcome any obstacles that may impede their success.Â I have always embraced a chance to lead as a challenge of my skills and determination and believe leadership is an unequaled outlet to express both.Â As a competitive individual many often mistake my enthusiasm with a "win at all costs" attitude, but I believe all competition must remain moral and fair.Â The ability to get excited about leading is an extremely valuable asset, as it provides a seemingly limitless supply of fuel to complete the often large list of tasks that leading demands.Â A drive for success also implies that quality of work being done is of great importance to me, as success is not solely determined by the speed at which the work is being done.Â In many situations those who you are leading may thrive off of the energy you broadcast and utilize it to fuel their own actions.Â In all team situations I have been placed in I try to bring enthusiasm and passion for success, and as many different teams are composed of many different types of individuals I believe a strong drive for success provides a key element in my leadership style.Â

Â Vision in any leader is an extremely valuable asset that aids in both defining the ultimate objective and how success should be achieved. Â Setting goals in both long and short term time frames have been extremely valuable assets and vision is extremely valuable while identifying those goals.Â Vision often defines an organization or group with regards to what they value and how they conduct themselves as a whole.Â With a strong sense of who and what I am as a leader I find vision has helped me identify how I like to lead and what kinds of impact I want to have on the situations I am in.Â Having a vision in the literal sense of what you wish to accomplish gives those who follow you a sense of comfort and the knowledge that you know what you are doing.Â By sharing the vision of success others may have a better understanding of what is being asked from them in any situation where you are the leader.Â With regards to conduct in competition I feel my vision as a leader has helped produce individuals that are moral and hard working.Â Looking forward to the future must be tempered with looking at where I have come from and where I am now as a leader and the ability to reflect on what I want as a leader and what those who follow me want is a testament to my vision as a leader.Â Great things have happened as a result of great vision from great leaders, who not only embrace their ideals but implement their leadership abilities efficiently and effectively to see them through.Â

Â Attention to detail is an extremely beneficial attribute to have as a leader as it provides the best possible product and ensures the job is done right.Â I have struggled through my entire leadership career with attention to the smaller details in a larger scheme of the roles of a leader.Â As a leader I expect great work quality from all I work with, and often assume many of the smaller details are handled with diligence and skill.Â I have often found myself encountering small problems with final products in group activities where I am leading at the last possible moment.Â Attention to detail can and usually does make the difference between a good and great outcome as a leader, and in recent years I have been taking steps to improve the level of attention I give the projects I work on.Â With the amount of variables in any given task the details often seem to be innumerable, but with great planning attention to detail should be an extremely manageable task in the future.Â When faced with many of the recent detail oriented tasks I have been charged with I have been contrasting the amount of small details in the task at hand with the amount of small details in any piece of great art.Â I have tried to instill the idea that great products are created by great people and if I intend to have an impact on the society I live within I must treat every detail as if it were an equal part, and when every separate part of the project at hand is put together the product with be greater than the sum of its parts.Â Attention to detail is extremely important in a leadership role and as I progress as a leader I am dedicated to improving this weakness.

Â Leadership requires time management skills to be effective.Â As a student I have had a difficult time learning to manage my time efficiently and effectively.Â While school work is extremely important to me, I often find myself in situations where I leave assignments to the last possible moment.Â In leadership roles I have lost track of time when it needed to be managed.Â My first semester at Nipissing University was extremely beneficial to my time management skills, as a result of the university success elective I chose to take.Â University success centered on time management skills and identified successful methods such as using a reverse calendar or electronic updates.Â With the implementation of these time management methods I have been extremely successful in my university career up to this point in time.Â Time management is a skill I wish to improve to the best of my ability.Â Proper time management will result in less stress and a higher quality final product in all situations. I feel that although it is a weakness now, I care enough about improving this skill and soon it will be one of my greatest strengths.Â

Â The ability to stay on task is my greatest weakness as a leader.Â An effective leader must be able to recognize what task is important and the appropriate time to work on that task.Â Staying on task is continuously challenging for me as I am easily interested by a wide assortment of topics, opportunities and individuals.Â I consider a wide variety of interests to be a valuable asset in most circumstances, but when the task management skills are combined with that I often find myself overwhelmed.Â As a leader I must adapt and consider what is important at the time and why I need to stay on task.Â In leadership opportunities I have been in I have been blessed with a supporting group of peers that have kept the important tasks in perspective for me, but I must gain a more self reliant approach to staying on task.Â

Â As a transformational leader I want to promote growth with everyone I interact with.Â Leadership is a learning process and it is imperative that further reflection is given to asses more of my strengths and weaknesses.Â As a leader I am a very social and concerned individual.Â I believe that through properly approaching problems and challenges, the character and morals of those I am leading will develop.Â The most predominant memory I have that highlights my transformational leadership ability is from a leadership class in my past.Â I was given a group of grade nine boys for school orientation and the students were extremely quiet and reclusive at the beginning of the orientation day.Â Through support and enthusiasm I felt I made a breakthrough with the individuals in that group, resulting in an energetic and positive group by the end of the day.Â One of the strengths of a leader is often their ability to see and compensate for a weakness, and only through constant reflection can a leader grow.Â

The Convention on the Rights of the Child in the UK

When governments came together 26 years ago to agree the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, they set out a vision for how the world should treat and consider children.

Together they defined a set of international standards that would ensure all children, everywhere, without discrimination, are treated with equality, respect and dignity, are protected from harm, and have access to what they need to survive, develop, participate and flourish.

The UK ratified the Convention in 1991. By doing this, the government committed itself to taking steps (including legal, administrative and budgetary steps) that would ensure all children in the UK enjoy their human rights, irrespective of gender, nationality, ethnicity, religion, language, place of residence and any other status. Like all governments that have ratified the Convention, the UK also reports regularly on its child rights record to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child. The Committee is a body of experts that monitors and supports the implementation of the Convention across the world.

To date in the UK, despite noticeable progress in making rights a reality for children, there remains a gap between the vision of childhood outlined in the Convention and the experiences and reality of many children and young people. And too many children in the UK are not aware what their rights are and who is responsible for upholding them. Similarly, children’s rights are not widely known or understood among adults, including professionals who work with children & young people.

A summary of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child

While central governments have the lead responsibility for the realisation of children’s rights, all adults have a responsibility to respect these rights and help children experience their rights. At the local level, local authorities (ie local government) have a duty under the Convention to respect, protect and fulfil the rights of all children in their area.

Spider & Varicose Veins

Spider and varicose veins are a common condition affecting approximately 30-60% of the adult population. They appear as fine red, purple or blue vessels, commonly on the legs. They are sometimes attached to a wider, blue vein known as a reticular vein. Sometimes these veins become swollen and bulge across the skin surface forming a varicose vein. Genetics play the largest role in the development of unsightly veins and the problem tends to get worse with aging. Other factors that exacerbate leg veins include pregnancy, menopause, hormone replacement therapy, obesity, and jobs that require prolonged periods of standing.

Treatment of superficial spider veins and reticular veins can reduce the appearance of these dilated surface veins while preserving blood flow in healthy veins. Sclerotherapy is a highly effective therapy that involves the injection of small amounts of solution through a tiny needle. The solution irritates the center of the vein so that it collapses on itself and is eventually absorbed by the body. This minimally invasive procedure is easy to perform in the office and no anesthesia is required. Our patients get the best results from a series of treatment sessions and some maintenance over time to mitigate new veins that appear with aging.

Tiny red veins can also be effectively treated with new vascular lasers. A combination approach is often used with best results on the legs when both large and small veins are present.

While retail and the society at large have changed tremendously in the last 40 years, the size and distribution of the Postal Service retail network today is not that different from the network that existed in 1971. It has not changed to reflect the changes in where and how Americans live today.
[poll id="184"]
Why is this? An OIG paper issued today, Barriers to Retail Network Optimization, highlights some of the obstacles to change:

• Statutory restrictions prevent closing Post Offices for economic reasons and impose requirements for notice, consultation, and appeal procedures.

• Regulatory procedures and interpretations create burdens on the Postal Service’s ability to make adjustments.

• Political obstacles to rightsizing result from the natural inclination of affected groups to protest the loss of local Post Offices.

• Institutional barriers within the Postal Service prevent action. These include a lack of sustained focus over time on retail optimization, problems with the availability and quality of data, past dependence on a highly decentralized bottom-up process, and the absence of a well-articulated strategic retail vision.

What changes would you like to see to the Postal Service’s retail network? What do you think are the biggest barriers to change? We want to hear from you.

This blog is hosted by the OIG’s Risk Analysis Research Center (RARC).

    I think the barriers to change outlined above are right on the money. I'd like to see better efficiency at USPS locations. Thanks.

    I believe in USPS but closing retail outlets is going in the wrong direction. The only true way to gain lost ground is look at what UPS and others are doing and then think of what it is they are not doing, and find the void. Fill the need that society at large is in need of. I have in the past directed a company from dismal of 130k a year to more than 600k a year simply by analyzing out dated items - and most of all asking customers what items they would like to see stocked, i also shopped our competitors sales and gauged what items were selling best, simply put I made the customer service feel personalized and welcomed. always insuring i had everything in stock and price points listed and posted. i have found people do not like asking the price for something, most are too embarrassed and just leave with out having their questions answered. look at your history and see if your real down turn was due to the competition and changing world or was it your pull back from customer service, i'e-available locations and ease of drop off and pick up. thank you. sincerely; sheon slaughter, oakland ca.

    Here, in a nutshell, is why the USPS is doomed to fail. I just tried, for the 1st time, to purchase stamps on your website. After registering and ordering a book of 20 stamps I got "Sorry, our credit card application is experiencing difficulties processing your card. Please try again later." Well, I did try again and I got the same response. I might but I probably won't try again. If I do, it'll only be for the sake of a couple of very hard working friends of mine who happen to work for the USPS. Just in case you're not yet aware of it, you are "up against it", in every imaginable regard. Your lunch is being eaten, gleefully, by others even while you read this. Bottom line: If you hope to survive, you simply cannot allow such a total failure to happen, ..... EVER ..... however large or small the opportunity may be. I'll get my stamps, one way or another, but I won't be buying any more than 20 at a time.

    How can we get some oversight from the Office of the Inspector? Approx three months ago there was an event at the 96815 Waikiki post office where during the night trash including a car battery was left in the lobby. This was treated as a Terroristic threat. The lobby is well protested with surveillance cameras which should have provided everything necessary for investigators to have resolved the problem! Instead an overreaction was made and the facility is locked after 7 pm. This blocks access to the automated postage machine and oversize mail box. When I complained to staff they told me they were going to be building a special enclosure to allow nighttime entry to those with po boxes. This will not do anything to solve the loss of access for me as the key or code to entry will just be for boxholders. I rely on the nighttime postage and shipping for my business. Waikiki employees just say go to the next closest machine in Kahala which is 15 min out of my way each direction. Kahala's Automated Postage Machine has been offline for two months and Kahala rather than put a sign on the machine out of order, allow it to sit there with a "Temporarily Out Of Service" message on screen. Thinking that it may be uploading the days activity I have waited over and hour on two occasions hoping it will restore itself? It never did and finally after a third drive out to Kahala and finding the machine again said Temp.- out of service I called their office the following day and was told by Roxanne " Oh yea were aware it not working", she said " we've been unable to get it back up for a while but were still working on it". Please take whatever measures necessary in the Waikiki Main PO and re open the lobby for full access.

    There is one area that appears to be slanted in your report. You assume that a "Post Office" has only one function that of being a "retail network" and hence should be modeled after all Retail Companies. Nothing could be further from the truth. A "Post Office" houses carrier operations clerk distribution opeartsion and a retail counter most of the work being accomplished inside a "Post Office" fall to the first two categories I list, In fact about 15% is the average time spent on "retai" in a post office. Do you close a post office because 15% of its work load might be shifted to alternate retail sources???? In addition a "Post Office" is the last link in the chain of the distribution model of the postal service. To move post offices further away from its main core of work is fulfilling a self desired result. Hence your report is flawed. Go to a post office and ask the customers what they want done with "their" post office. Most like the town name on the building and the convienence they now have. In addition a Post Office may not take in money in fact most do not. The bulk of USPS Revenue comes from mailing houses in major areas of the country. Yet the work load is spread through out the entire postal service. Should we close a Post Office that is small yet because it has a major banking facility within its domain and makes 30 times what it takes in? Yet close a larger post office because it does the same amount of retail revenue yet is missing that banking facility and therfore loses money????? WHAT NEEDS TO BE FULLY CONSIDERED IS THAT THE USPS IS PART OF THE US CONSTITUTION AND AS SUCH UNTIL CHANGED BY CONGRESS IS A 'SERVICE' PROVIDED TO THE PUBLIC.. not witholding to a monetary figure.

    Here's something you'd better keep you're eyes on..... And, I'm certain you've thought of it. It's called confidence in you're organization, and it's structure....... WorkSafe B.C. has moved 2,500 clients to direct deposit payments instead of mailed cheques since the Canada Post labour dispute began, as the postal shutdown adds impetus to a continuing trend. The number of requests for direct deposit has grown from about 40 a day to 500 a day in the past few weeks, says WorkSafe B.C. "We are very encouraged by that trend but there's still lots of people who want a printed cheque," said Scott McCloy, WorkSafe B.C.'s director of communications. Canada Post locked out 50,000 employees and suspended operations across the country last Tuesday following 12 days of rotating strikes. The federal government introduced back-to-work legislation Monday to force an end to the work stoppage. It said it was prepared to limit debate in Parliament so that the law is passed as early as this week. Read more:

    "confidence in you’re organization, and it’s structure" A bit off topic. But agree. I believe the USPS has started down the slippery slope in public confidence. I will add as an employee, it is disheartening to "attempt" to portray confidence in the USPS ability when we are having an increase of delivery failures. We're a small office and just this week had to customer complaints of "where is my package?". BOTH were stuck in plants processed over and over again. One in Philly, scanned 8 days in a row and another in Chicago 6 days. Our normal complaints of "where is my mail?", which is generally a COA issue and is surpassed by processing. Customers are LOOKING for errors, we don't need to provide them with the answer that it is our inability to perform.

    What is up with the postal service in Rogers Arkansas 72756? One day we recieve no mail delivery at all, the next we get our mail at 6:00p.m. Our mail may come at 10a.m. or 8p.m. It would be nice to have a regular delivery time.

Great experience!

May 3, 2015

We really enjoyed our stay at Alice and Darryl's home. The house is in a great location and we were able to easily walk to get coffee at Hampton Coffee Company both mornings. We also walked to Sushi 1 nearby for dinner one night. The house's living room area and kitchen are all one zone and it was perfect for having drinks and hanging out all in one place. The house also came with nice touches like a book with local recommendations, soap in the bathrooms, and games like Taboo. We had a group of eight women in our mid-20s and did not feel crowded since there are two rooms upstairs with a bath and then another two downstairs with another bath. The hosts were also easily reachable by text and phone for any last-minute questions/concerns. Overall I would highly recommend this home for a group getaway and I really hope to return soon!

Alice Butkos

Owner's reply:

Thank you for your kind review Robyn, it is appreciated. We hope you and your group of friends come back soon. You are always welcome. Thanks again for safeguarding my ring!

Pitch In for RecycleMania

Posted in NEWS on Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

Recycling is a positive thing to do all the time, but RecycleMania provides an extra incentive to recycle during the months of February and March. RecycleMania began in 2001 as a friendly competition between two universities to encourage recycling. It has grown to an international competition among over 600 colleges and universities.

With recycling bins in many indoor (most hallways and break rooms) and outdoor locations and recycling stations next to every residential dumpster throughout Vanderbilt’s campus, it is easier than ever to pitch in. Did you know that you can recycle all of the following items on campus: Cardboard, paper, aluminum and steel cans, all plastic containers, electronics, ink and toner cartridges, batteries, light bulbs, glass, pens and mechanical pencils? Visit “recycling guidance” on the SustainVU website for more information.

RecycleMania isn’t just about recycling, we get points for REDUCING our waste as well. Here are some simple things you can do in your area to reduce waste:

  • Set up computers and printers to print double-sided as a default.
  • Keep scrap paper next to your printer to use for printing or notes whenever appropriate.
  • Bring meals in reusable containers or eat in at Rand or the Commons to reduce packaging waste.
  • Reuse file folders.
  • Keep a reusable bag in your kitchen, break room, or residence to use when shopping or buying lunch.
  • Communicate by email or voicemail instead of paper whenever possible.
  • Use and reuse interdepartmental mail envelopes.
  • Keep a reusable mug, water bottle, plate and silverware at your desk or in your room to use instead of disposables.
  • Select products that use minimal packaging.
  • Recirculate items you no longer need by utilizing Vandy FreeSwap or making a donation.
  • Recycle everything else!

Thank you for doing your part to help Vanderbilt win RecycleMania!

Police kill pit bull; 3 incidents reported in a week (Video)

March 16, 2012 at 8:04 p.m.
Updated March 16, 2012 at 10:17 p.m.

Two pit bull dog attacks on Friday culminated a week in which the aggressive breed threatened residents in three Victoria neighborhoods.

In all, three of the six animals in the attacks had to be shot by law enforcement officers to control the scenes.

But a Victoria City/County Health Department Animal Control spokesman said while three attacks occurred this week, the breeds of stray dogs encountered by animal control officials varies every week.

"It could be any breed from a small breed up to a larger breed," said Joe Lopez, chief animal control officer. "Some are animal-aggressive and some are people-aggressive."

Pit bull attacks are generally more noted because of the damage caused by their strength and size whenever they bite, Lopez said, but any breed can be aggressive.

"Next week it could be dachshunds, boxers or shepherds," Lopez said. "It just varies - which citizens are not taking care of their animals and are letting them run free."

Residents generally report dogs to the animal control as aggressive, but this is often because the animal feels cornered or threatened, Lopez said.

But most of the time, when animal control arrives, dogs are generally calm and cooperative, Lopez said.

Friday's first attack occurred when Dianna Wray, 29, of Victoria, was walking her black Tibetan Terrier "Dolly Lama Sue" in the field between Bretton Village Apartments and Victoria Station Drive Apartments about 10:30 a.m. Friday.

Dolly stopped to sniff at a fence and a brown snout appeared on the other side of the fence. Wray pulled her dog back to continue their walk, but when she turned around about 30 seconds later, the pit bulls - one female and one male with a collar - were standing about five feet behind her.

Dolly, restrained by a leash, started barking at the other animals.

"They could have just been curious at first, but curiosity turned to aggressiveness very quickly," said Wray, a Victoria Advocate reporter.

The dogs charged at Wray and her dog. Wray scooped up her pet and began to run, the pit bulls scratching at her back.

"There was no one around. I started screaming - I didn't know what else to do, and I couldn't get away from the dogs," Wray said.

Eventually, four men stopped to help her.

"It took the four of them to restrain the two pit bulls," Wray said. "I was shaking. I couldn't stop shaking."

Animal control and the police arrived quickly, Wray said. Animal control captured the two pit bulls in the 1500 block of East Mockingbird Lane.

Wray took her dog to the vet for treatment of two bites she received on the inside of her right hind leg and on the outside of her left hind leg.

A second pit bull attack occurred Friday in the 2600 block of Cardinal Street about 5:40 p.m.

A man, who declined to be identified, said he was walking down Cardinal Street toward his trailer home on Lone Tree Road when two pit bulls attacked him.

"The brown one came out first and the white and gray one followed him," the man said. "The gray one seemed to be playful, but the brown one was more serious."

The man hit the brown pit bull on the head after it attempted to bite him, then he jumped on a car across the street to get away from the dog.

"The dog started jumping on the car, too, so I ran two doors down to crawl onto a larger car," the man said.

The man, who had been scratched on his left leg by the pit bull, climbed on top of a white Toyota 4Runner while neighbors called the police.

When police arrived, the brown pit bull was acting aggressive toward people in their cars, not allowing them to get out, said police Sgt. Lee Lemmons.

The dog charged at the police officers as well, so they retreated, hoping to pacify the animal until a control official arrived, Lemmons said.

"The dog charged at the officers again in an aggressive fashion," Lemmons said. "So the officers were compelled to use deadly force to protect themselves and others."

The brown pit bull was killed, but the white and gray dog was captured by animal control.

The owners of both dogs live at 2606 Cardinal St. and were informed about the attacks, Lemmons said.

The owners drove up to the home, but left after talking to police.

Animal control will determine later whether charges will be filed, the officer said.

"By orders we have to hold them for 72 hours," Lopez said. "The owners have the right to claim them back. But there are fees they have to pay."

After 72 hours, unclaimed dogs are put up for adoption, if possible.

"If they are pits or pit mixes, or any other aggressive breed, we can't adopt them out and they have to be euthanized," Lopez said.

The first attack of the week occurred Monday afternoon when a woman walking her collie in the 2300 block of Bon Aire Avenue was attacked by two pit bulls. The pit bull dogs were shot by law enforcement. Two people were wounded in that incident.

At my organization, one challenge is redirecting current funding for different purposes. How can we get the necessary buy-in from our stakeholders? - GS-14, Department of Defense

I strongly advise that you take a page, or perhaps several pages, from the literature on leading change by focusing on the facts, recognizing and addressing the emotions your stakeholders may experience, and building early support among the most influential folks in your agency.

Before you send an email or hold a meeting with stakeholders to say you're shifting funds, first outline clear criteria for your funding decisions. What are your agency's or your team's high-priority goals? How much funding do you have available? How much spending do you need to cut? What's mandated and what's actually discretionary? The logic dictating your decisions must be clear if you have any hope of getting folks on board.

Keep in mind that facts often take a back seat to emotions when dollars and cents are at stake in this current environment.

When you tell someone that you're shifting funds from their activities to others, it’s likely they will feel as though you're passing judgment on their value to the agency. As you pull facts together, you'll want to consider how to manage your stakeholders' emotions. Will they want to know your decision-making approach? Will they simply want the bottom-line decision and a deadline for implementation? Will they be worried that these funding changes may affect their jobs?

Go ahead and predict who will have strong reactions, either positive or negative, and tailor your initial message appropriately as a means of minimizing the drama that may drag down productivity.

Finally, test your message with a few influential folks at your agency before going out with a broader message. Talking to a limited number of trusted, respected colleagues will provide at least two benefits. First, you'll get honest feedback that may cause you to reconsider your decision or sharpen your message. Second, and perhaps most importantly, you can convert these people into advocates. Don’t be afraid to ask for their support and help reinforcing your message. You might urge them to be an ambassador by speaking to others or to speak up when others question your approach. And you might simply ask them to continue providing you with candid feedback.

Of course, all of this is much easier said than done. So much easier, in fact, that there are several books on the topic. If you want more specific, more detailed suggestions, I recommend checking out books such as, Switch, Influencer or The Heart of Change for additional ideas. I don't envy your position, but I appreciate your making the tough calls leaders all across government are facing.

If you have suggestions from your own experiences, please share your ideas below or email me  at

This elegant mid-length bob wig in 100% real Remy human hair is a fashionable and classic look that’s sure to please. Lush, shoulder-length layers with razor-cut ends give the style a playful yet chic silhouette. The long, side-swept bangs and expertly layered sides and back complete the look. Heat-stylable, 100% real Remy human hair is the finest quality of human hair because it is exceptionally strong, healthy, soft, and shiny and is less likely to tangle because the cuticle is still intact and aligned. The sheer lace front features individually hand-tied fibers, creating the illusion that hair is growing from your own scalp in a naturalistic hairline and allowing off-the-face styling options. The monofilament top features a thin, breathable fabric with individually hand-tied fibers, which allow for multidirectional styling for your desired look and a more natural appearance. Each hair is individually hand-knotted to the 100% hand-tied cap for a thoroughly natural look and natural movement, as well as an especially comfortable fit for those who have sensitive scalps. Trinity Plus is part of the Pure Power Collection by Ellen Wille. Featuring 100% Remy human hair and inspired by the latest trends in the industry, Pure Power wigs combine style and comfort for the best experience and are the definition of luxury. Length: 9.75" Bangs; 12" Crown; 9.5" Sides; 7.75" Nape. Weight: 4.3 oz. Some luxurious, hand-crafted Ellen Wille wigs ship directly from Europe, so please allow 7-12 business days for delivery.

Ah then we could petition AJ to remove the configure script and go back to
Makefile templates that you modify to be aligned with your configuration :-)

And frankly, if you want to control exactly what the installer does, just do
not type 'make install' and copy the files over yourself.

Odd. But I think we can ignore it unless there's an easy fix, the IDL

Dance your cares away: Jim Henson's 'Fraggle Rock' to return to HBO

Jim Henson’s iconic TV series Fraggle Rock is returning to HBO in HD. HBO was the original home of the series when it premiered in 1983, and the digitally remastered version will return at the end year on the internet TV network, the Jim Henson Company said today. Fraggle Rock stars a cast of puppet creatures called Fraggles, quirky cave-dwellers who live in an underground world alongside their industrious green neighbors, the Doozers, and a family of enormous Gorgs. The…

Good news for '80s kids — and also late '80s kids, and early '90s kids, and basically everyone else on the planet. One of Jim Henson's cult-fave shows is returning to TV. Haven't you always wanted to binge "Fraggle Rock" as an adult? Well, that wish is about to become a reality. The Jim Henson Co. said it has arranged to remaster the 1980s children's series for a new generation, and it will be available on HBO and its streaming and on-demand platforms later this year.

'Fraggle Rock' returns to HBO, will be an excellent palate cleanser between #Westworld and #GameofThrones
