POWER

Everyone feels they are powerful.Everyone wants more power. Using power to overpower is not power. Using power to empower yourself is real power. Using power to empower your vision to grow is real power. Learning and working to empower yourself is the way nature wants you to be. Over powering someone to achieve something is not achievement at all. It is cheating and nature will account it one day. Empowering yourself first, and then helping someone to empower himself is the most natural way to grow. Success then will be as natural as a tree giving a fruit.

Teacher or Advisor?

A teacher is never an advisor.

An advisor can never be a teacher.

A teacher participates in a student’s life.

An advisor gives suggestions which he himself has never followed.

A teacher shares with his student all his knowledge and his experiences.

An advisor doesn’t have any knowledge to share and no experience to guide.

A teacher is involved in his student’s life as much as mother is involved in her child.

An advisor is a passer by who doesn’t want to be involved.

A teacher quietly identifies your strengths and weakness and never highlights or comments about them in public.

An advisor waits for you to make mistakes to keep chattering about it wherever he goes.

A teacher’s life is to build lives.

A mother gives herself totally to bring out another life.

A teacher gives himself totally to build another life.

“A mother is a child’s first teacher.

A teacher is a man’s best teacher.”

SACRIFICE

We all think of sacrifice as giving up, going away. We feel very bad if we have to sacrifice something. Some feel sad, everyone resents it. The word sacrifice must be understood first. It is a natural word indicating something that takes place very naturally and not with effort and analysis. A girl gives birth to a baby and soon begins to reach out to it automatically. Do not use the word automatically – use naturally. A mother sacrifices for her baby. This sacrifice is not giving up but is growth. Through her sacrifices, she discovers motherhood and keeps growing as a mother. The child grows due to her sacrifice. So sacrifice is a natural, effortless activity, which takes place whenever one is ready to learn and grow. Sacrifice is an expansive word, which can expand to reach the cosmic. Being an expansive word, it will promote growth wherever it is discovered. A person sacrifices only when he gets something better. Selfishness and sacrifice do not go together. A mother’s relationship with her baby has sacrifice inside. She does not voluntarily cultivate it. She already has it inside her. Yes, that is why sacrifice is a natural quality one discovers inside oneself. A teacher’s sacrifice for a student is also natural as a rose flower. He may be a renunciate but his sacrifice has been there inside him, much before he was called a renunciate. Growth in life has sacrifices built inside it. If you want to grow, be ready to discover sacrifice inside you and then find growth rapid and productive. There is no growth without sacrifice.

TRUST AND RUST

A relationship without TRUST is definitely going to RUST. If you remove the letter ‘T ’ from the word trust, all that remains is rust. So, it is clear that one letter “T ” is going to change the entire meaning of rust when added. What is trust? Your whole life is relationship and you are always in a relationship with yourself. The letter ‘T ’ stands for Truth. It will mean truth about yourself, truth about your different relationships.
Now, truth is a constructive word. Whenever it is discovered it builds your life. Whenever you escape from it, it disturbs your life. Discovering and accepting the truth about everything in your life is the surest and safest way to growth.
In your life, only a few relationships matter. In these relationships, there will always be a truth. It will mean whether you really want this relationship, whether the other person really wants it, whether you trust the other person’s thought, word, action as faithful to you and so on. Discovering the truth about important relationships, and strengthening them on the basis of truth, will ensure a strong relationship that has the sanction of the Cosmic Law.
Your life will be fulfilling if you can have one strong relationship built on trust and truth.

BATCH KILN

Batch kilns are extensively in industries for various applications. In ceramic industry, batch kilns are utilized for firing the final product and completing the chemical reaction in the clay.

In a typical ceramic industry the wares are loaded in a shuttle (wares could include sanitary ware, tiles, insulator, etc) and the shuttle is pushed into the kiln. The ware is fired according to a given cycle. During firing, the ware temperature is increased from ambient to about 1100 °C. In such kilns, the flue gas leaves the furnace at temperatures ranging from 400 °C to 1200 °C.
Most of these kilns do not have heat recovery arrangements and the flue gas carries approximately 60 to 65% of the heat input to the furnace

One should aim at designing a heat recovery apparatus for recovering the heat from the flue gas and recycles it for useful purposes like combustion air or drying of green ware.

In order to reduce the capital cost the proposal is to install a double shell radiation recuperator with fins for this purpose.

Theories brought about for the evolution of thinking

All this gives rise to a whole host of intriguing questions. Which came first –gene evolution or cultural evolution? In other words, by changing their behavior patterns, did our ancestors cause a change in the size and shape of their brains? Or, did physiological brain change bring about changes in behavior? Perhaps the answer lies in exploring the interaction between human brain and its environment. The many environmental, social and economic problems we face today are a consequence, direct or indirect of the way we think. So solution to these problems will also arise from our evolving mental capacities. By asking questions and trying to find answers to them, we might well be changing the ways in which our brain functions and what we call thinking takes shape.

The generation gap

Are we smarter than our forefathers? Will tomorrow’s generation be smarter than us? That is the challenging hypothesis being put forward by evolutionary scientists who believe that the human brain continues to evolve and that homosapiens may not be the last word in the growth of intelligence. They found big changes in two genes linked to brain size. One of the gene variants could have emerged as recently as 5800 years ago. This new variant is present in 30%of today’s humans. The second variation detected could have coincided with the spread of agriculture, setting up of colonies and birth of written language. The last major variations could have happened 50,000 years ago around the time of emergence of culture and tool-making skills. They are present in 70% of the population today.

Stages of treatment

Primary Treatment:

Primary is the initial stage of water treatment and involves removing solid particles from the sewage. It is filtered through fine screens to take out solid matter such as paper, cotton tips and plastic. Heavy particles like sand sink to the bottom and are removed.

Secondary Treatment:

After primary treatment of water, the removal of biodegradable organic matter from water using bacteria and other micro-organisms, inactivated sludge or trickle filters is called secondary treatment. It generally removes 80 to 95 percent of the Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and suspended matter.

Tertiary Treatment:

The additional treatment of effluent beyond that of primary and secondary treatment methods to obtain a very high quality of effluent is called tertiary treatment. It is the selected biological, physical, and chemical separation processes to remove organic and inorganic substances that resist conventional treatment practices.
The above-mentioned treatments are effectively carried out using membrane technologies like ultrafiltration, microfiltration, reverse osmosis and nanofiltration.

Water and wastewater treatment

Water is the resource that covers almost three-quarters of the planet, and upon which all life depends. Demand for water is increasing and new supplies are becoming scarce creating an increasingly urgent need to view water in an integrated holistic manner. The delicate balance of our planet's fragile aquatic ecosystem is being disturbed at an alarming rate. Industrial, agricultural, and residential effluents enter our waterways polluting these systems with a wide range of organic, metallic and inorganic compounds. Although most groundwater is safe to drink and suitable for household tasks, there is growing concern about contamination of public and private water supplies.
Any of the mechanical or chemical processes used to modify the quality of water or wastewater in order to make it more compatible or acceptable to humans and the environment is termed as treatment. There are different stages of treatment.

why does HRM need to be abstract?

There is a move in HRM to position itself as strategic, based on the increased importance of people in gaining competitive advantage according to the Resource Based View of the firm. However, we argue that even if an organization's human resources are deemed important, i.e. strategic, that doesn't automatically elevate the HRM-function in an organization, - embodied by the HR manager - from a supportive to a strategic level. Not surprisingly, the field of HRM has proposed a number of suggestions and tactics to capitalize on the proposed new role of human resources in organizations such as the use of strategy discourse in HR, the use of performance measures, and the use of integrative tools such as the balanced score card or strategy map. Yet, these tactics still fall far short of situating the HR manager in the room where strategy is formulated. This leads to the question whether HRM should focus its efforts on a superior way to make HR strategic or whether it should accept the support role it currently plays in executing strategy

It is necessary to be fully aware about the rates whether you are planning to buy a house, sell a house, get refinance loans or anything to do with real estate. The rates for each state can be found here and I must tell you that it is the best place to look out for mortgage deals if you are in need of refinance loans.

Job Satisfaction

This post, as the title depicts is about "Job Satisfaction" which is very essential to have a peaceful work life.

Job Satisfaction is nothing but a Positive feeling about one’s job resulting from an evaluation of its characteristics. Personality plays a very important role in this because some people are predisposed to like almost anything and others are unhappy even in the seemingly greatest jobs. So according to personalities the job satisfaction level will change from person to person. The major job satisfaction facets are
• Work itself -> Most people prefer work that is challenging and stimulating.
• Pay -> A dissatisfier or hygiene factor and not a satisfier. However for people who are poor or in dire need of money then there is a positive correlation between pay and job satisfaction.
• Promotion opportunities -> Anyone will want to move up the ladder and reach a position with status. So this is a important facets of job satisfaction.
• Supervision
• Co-workers

Web Hosting

A lot of us use the Internet for a variety of things, but many of us are not aware about certain important points while using the Internet, for instance, Web hosting. It is very important that one’s website should be hosted accurately. But how do we ensure this? Here is a solution to this problem. Alreadyhosting.com gives us a general idea about hosting and lists down various websites that offer web hosting services. They even rank websites to guide us to good sites which will ensure correct web hosting at nominal prices. This site gives the top web hosting reviews and ratings and guides everyone to choose the best web hosting option. They list down the websites which are approved for web hosting also. I was very impressed with the BlueHost Review and I have suggested that as an option for my friend who wants to use such services. So spread the good word that you can get fair reviews about various web hosting sites under one roof.

Consistency of Attitudes

Dont know why, but the topic of " Attitude" seems to interest me a lot. So I am persistent with this topic! I have more ideas to write about it. Now I shall discuss the consistency of attitudes.
Research has generally concluded that people seek consistency among their attitudes and between their attitudes and behaviour. That is individuals seek to reconcile divergent attitudes and align their attitudes and behaviour so they appear rational and consistent. When there is inconsistency, forces are initiated to return the individual to an equilibrium state in which attitudes and behaviour are again consistent. This can be done by altering
• Altering attitude.
• Altering behaviour.
• By developing a rationalization for the discrepancy.


This inconsistency is called as Cognitive Dissonance. Dissonance means an inconsistency. Any form of dissonance is uncomfortable and people will try to reduce that to as low as possible to achieve a stable state.
The desire to reduce the dissonance depends on moderation factors. The three moderation factors are
• Importance of element creating the dissonance.
• Influence the individual believes has on the elements.
• Rewards that may be involved in the dissonance.

Bright Careers

It is very hard to find the right people in this world to guide one's career. This is because everyone is self-centered and do not bother about others. But when I was browsing online randomly, I came across a website that guides people by giving details about a variety of schools for different specializations. This website helps people to choose specific educational programs that they are interested in. It helps one to choose the best program that would help him be very successful in his career. For example, it has a number of great schools listed for technology, legal, design, medical careers etc. What attracted me the most are the massage therapy schools which are listed in this website, in particular the pharmacy tech schools. You can hardly find schools which train people to be good pharmacy technicians. The best part is that they list down the schools according to the locations also. So it is easy to choose the school you want. I request all you readers to visit this site and make the most out of it.

Components of Attitude

I plan to continue about attitude in this post. Let us analyse it more technically this time!

There are three major components of attitude. They are
• Cognitive component
• Affective component
• Behavioural component
I will explain the three components with an example:

Cognitive -> Being with family gives immense happiness and a sense of comfort.
Affective -> I don’t like living alone even though it gives lots of independence.
Behavioural -> I don’t like staying in LIBA hostel.

Attitude -> I love being with my family than in hostel.

Viewing attitudes as made up of three components is helpful in understanding their complexity and the potential relationship between attitudes and behaviour. These components are closely related; especially cognition and affect are almost inseparable. In organisations, attitudes are important because of their behavioural component, since employee’s behaviour can affect organisations goals.

Fashion schools

Fashion Designing is one profession which really interests me. I adore the fashion designers' work and feel that many of the people in this world should get into that profession. If you are wondering where to start, visit the site. To be successful fashion buyers or designers, it is extremely critical that a he should know the past, present and future trends of fashion and there is no better place than this website to give you the best schools which can teach you this in a brilliant way! This site can be the best guide for you to choose your fashion school. It lists out the profiles offered to the students who specialize in fashion. This site not only helps a student to get trained in the best possible way through superior schools but also help them get a good job in the fashion industry. We can think of this site as equivalent to a teacher who guides a student through his education and career in fashion.

Attitude

Attitude is an important individual behaviour, which gets a lot of attention in this fast world. Like this fast paced global village, Attitude of an individual also changes fast. This is the reason for the various elaborate researches going on in this field.

If attitude is important when it comes to normal life, then it becomes very important for an organisation. This forces the organisation to recruit and retain employees who has the right attitude towards his job and organisation. So attitude is an essential part of organisational behaviour. Managers should be interested in their employees attitudes because attitudes give warnings of potential problems and also because they influence behaviour in an organisation.

Organisational behaviour is an applied behavioural science that is built on contributions from a number of behavioural disciplines. The various concepts of attitude when it comes to organisational behaviour is contributed by psychology and social psychology. Psychologists concern themselves with studying and attempting to understand individual behaviour. While Social psychologists focus on people’s influence on one another. They also contribute significantly in the areas of measuring, understanding and changing attitudes.

Go Shopping

Shopping is a favourite pass time for many of us. Earlier, shopping implied that you would go out and visit the shops. But that is not the case now as so many online shopping options are available. Everyone would prefer to stay at home and shop what they want. For those of you who are into online shopping, I have some great news for you. Shopwiki is an online store that gives you a wide range of products at very reasonable prices. And before buying any product, a buyer will want to know thoroughly about the product. This is where shopwiki stands a class apart. They give a detailed description about each of the products they sell.

For example, if you want to purchase an XBOX 360, shopwiki will give you a detailed buying guide mentioning everything about it. This is what really impresses me about this site. It makes things easy. Click on this link for buying guide on movies and women jewellery

has pay for performance lost its day? conclusion 2

This final post of mine in this topic is going to be quite long so please pardon me for it...

managers in poorly performing companies might find themselves over-rewarded. This is because stock prices reflect expected future performance. Merely the announcement of a new chief executive officer can be enough to shift a share price by more than 10 percent even before he or she takes the helm—and long before performance has improved.

So how should managers’ performance be measured and rewarded? Not all companies hand out share options. But many link compensation to stock price movements in other ways. The most common stock market measure is TRS: stock appreciation plus dividends paid. This has the same shortcomings as share options, since it too is a measure of how much managers beat or fail to meet market expectations and is affected by general sector and market movements.

TRS is therefore no more accurate a reflection of management performance than stock options. But there is no easy alternative measure at hand. Companies must accept that performance management is a complex business. The best solution is one that amalgamates different kinds of measures while at the same time allowing for their limitations.

To begin with, when stock market measures are used as a basis for compensation, it is important to strip out the effects of general movements in the market or sector in order to quantify the extent to which gains or losses can be credited to management. It is then necessary to assess how a company is rated in relation to others in its sector—that is, to determine the extent to which expectations of future value are already embedded in its share price. Market-to-book ratios—the market value of a company’s equity divided by its accounting value—give an indication of this. If a company is relatively highly rated, then it is unrealistic to expect managers to deliver much higher TRS. But if the company is poorly rated in comparison with its sector, then it would be reasonable for investors to expect higher TRS and to reward or punish managers accordingly.

In addition, given that market measures can award credit before performance is delivered, compensation schemes linked to them should require a certain period of service before options can be redeemed. Finally, companies need to think about the underlying financial performance: return on capital and profit growth. The danger of using these traditional accounting measures is that managers might try to boost short-term profitability at the expense of longer-term shareholder value. It is for this reason that stock options and TRS-related bonuses became popular in the first place.

But the baby is in danger of being thrown out with the bath water. Financial measures remain important because they assess managers on the basis of what managers have delivered rather than what the market believes managers will deliver. To date, financial measures have been conspicuously absent in the assessment of the performance of dot-com companies. Yet it surely can’t be long before investors in these companies start demanding profits as proof of sound management rather than relying on the uncertain promise of things to come.

The use of stock options has proved an excellent way of pushing management teams to get businesses up and running in the new economy. But it is time to move to a new compensation model reflecting the fact that for some companies the share price already reflects much of the potential for creating value. Investors need assurance that managers are being encouraged to deliver on this value. And would-be employees, who rightly doubt how much further the share prices of highly rated stocks can rise, need different incentives to be attracted to such companies.

In this modern world, cheat and corruption is not very unfamiliar to anyone. People are easily cheated by known and unknown people. The most common kind of theft I have come across off late has been identity theft. So many people whom I know have lost so much money by using false identity. But I would like you all to know that there is one protection for you against such a threat and that is Lifelock. If you notice, more and more people are using this scheme to protect themselves from hackers and thieves. So you also don't delay further and be fully protected from such people! Lifelock locks down your credit and protects you and your entire family from falling victim to identity theft. Some of the unique tools that you will get along with the Life Lock product are WalletLock, eRecon and TrueAddress. These services are not offered by another company dealing with identity theft. The website also provides for life to block comments on a lot of promotion codes. All this information allows you to analyze each code in depth and choose one that best suits your needs.
