POWER
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.”

TRUST AND RUST
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
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.

The Reverse Mortgage Expert – Authenticity at its best!
For quite sometime now, reverse mortgage has been the buzzword among senior home-owners (with a considerable equity in their property) who have to live on a fixed income and are in need of a steady cash inflow for their living. The process is simple to understand yet complex when implemented. The home-owner (should be 62 yrs. and above) has to mortgage his/her home to the lender, who in turn pays money equivalent to the value of the property and the age of the borrower, as a lump sum, monthly installments or through line-of-credit.
They also have an updated database about the reverse mortgage lenders present across the nation and also have published few related products on their website. They also have a dedicated FAQ section that provides answers for all common questions related to this concept. In short, they provide answers for everything that has to do with reverse mortgages and more importantly, they help you assess whether it suits your needs. If possible, they even make arrangements for a professional to contact those in need and it doesn’t end there. They are the one-stop solution regarding reverse mortgages. So if you are looking for a reliable (read authentic) expert to make your next step, you now know where to look for!

Stages of 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
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.

Job Satisfaction
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

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.

Components of Attitude
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.

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.

has pay for performance lost its day? conclusion 2
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.
