Job Enrichment
Increasing Job Satisfaction
Most of us want interesting, challenging jobs where we feel that we can make a real difference to other people's lives.
It's the same for the people who work with or for us.
So why are so many jobs so boring and monotonous? And what can you do to make the jobs you offer more satisfying? After all, retaining experienced staff and motivating them to perform at a high level reduces recruitment costs, and can have a real impact on your bottom line.
One of the key factors in good job design is job enrichment, most notably promoted by psychologist Frederick Herzberg in his 1968 article "One More Time: How Do You Motivate Employees?" This is the practice of enhancing individual jobs to make the responsibilities more rewarding and inspiring for the people who do them.
With job enrichment, you expand the task set that someone performs. You provide more stimulating and interesting work that adds variety and challenge to an employee's daily routine. This increases the depth of the job and allows people to have more control over their work.
Before you look at ways to enrich the jobs in your workplace, you need to have as your foundation a good, fair work environment. If there are fundamental flaws – in the way people are compensated, their working conditions, their supervision, the expectations placed upon them, or the way they're treated – then those problems should be fixed first. If they are not resolved, any other attempts to increase satisfaction will likely be ineffective.
Designing Jobs That Motivate People
Hackman and Oldham identified five factors of job design that typically contribute to people's enjoyment of a job:
- Skill Variety – Increasing the number of skills that individuals use while performing work.
- Task Identity – Enabling people to perform a job from start to finish.
- Task Significance – Providing work that has a direct impact on the organization or its stakeholders.
- Autonomy – Increasing the degree of decision making, and the freedom to choose how and when work is done.
- Feedback – Increasing the amount of recognition for doing a job well, and communicate the results of people's work.
Job enrichment addresses these factors by enhancing the job's core dimensions and increasing people's sense of fulfillment.
Job Enrichment Options
The central focus of job enrichment is giving people more control over their work. Lack of control is a key cause of stress, and therefore of unhappiness. Where possible, allow them to take on tasks that are typically done by supervisors. This means that they have more influence over planning, executing, and evaluating the jobs they do.
In enriched jobs, people complete activities with increased freedom, independence and responsibility. They also receive plenty of feedback, so that they can assess and correct their own performance.
Here are some strategies that you can use to enrich jobs in your workplace:
- Rotate Jobs – Give people the opportunity to use a variety of skills, and perform different kinds of work. The most common way to do this is through job rotation. Move your workers through a variety of jobs that allow them to see different parts of the organization, learn different skills, and acquire different experiences. This can be very motivating, especially for people in jobs that are very repetitive or that focus on only one or two skills.
- Combine Tasks – Combine work activities to provide a more challenging and complex work assignment. This can significantly increase "task identity" because people see a job through from start to finish. This allows workers to use a wide variety of skills, which can make the work seem more meaningful and important. For example, you can convert an assembly line process, in which each person does one task, into a process in which one person assembles a whole unit. You can apply this model wherever you have people or groups that typically perform only one part of an overall process. Consider expanding their roles to give them responsibility for the entire process, or for a bigger part of that process.
Note:These forms of job enrichment can be tricky because they may provide increased motivation at the expense of decreased productivity. When you have new people performing tasks, you may have to deal with issues of training, efficiency and performance. You must carefully weigh the benefits against the costs.
- Identify Project-Focused Work Units – Break your typical functional lines and form project-focused units. For example, rather than having all of your marketing people in one department, with supervisors directing who works on which project, you could split the department into specialized project units – specific storyboard creators, copywriters, and designers could all work together for one client or one campaign. Allowing employees to build client relationships is an excellent way to increase autonomy, task identity and feedback.
- Create Autonomous Work Teams – This is job enrichment at the group level. Set a goal for a team, and make team members free to determine work assignments, schedules, rest breaks, evaluation parameters, and the like. You may even give them influence over choosing their own team members. With this method, you'll significantly cut back on supervisory positions, and people will gain leadership and management skills.
- Implement Participative Management – Allow team members to participate in decision making and get involved in strategic planning. This is an excellent way to communicate to members of your team that their input is important. It can work in any organization – from a very small company, with an owner/boss who's used to dictating everything, to a large company with a huge hierarchy. When people realize that what they say is valued and makes a difference, they'll likely be motivated.
- Redistribute Power and Authority – Redistribute control and grant more authority to workers for making job-related decisions. As supervisors delegate more authority and responsibility, team members' autonomy, accountability, and task identity will increase.
- Increase Employee-Directed Feedback – Make sure that people know how well, or poorly, they're performing their jobs. The more control you can give them for evaluating and monitoring their own performance, the more enriched their jobs will be. Rather than have your quality control department go around and point out mistakes, consider giving each team responsibility for their own quality control. Workers will receive immediate feedback, and they'll learn to solve problems, take initiative, and make decisions.
Job enrichment provides many opportunities for people's development. You'll give them lots of opportunity to participate in how their work gets done, and they'll likely enjoy an increased sense of personal responsibility for their tasks.
Don't just accept these points wholesale – they'll work in some situations and not in others. Apply these ideas sensibly and in a way that is aligned with the realities of your workplace and your organization's mission.
Implementing a Job Enrichment Program
Step One – Find out where people are dissatisfied with their current work assignments. There's little point to enriching jobs and changing the work environment if you're enriching the wrong jobs and making the wrong changes. Like any motivation initiative, determine what your people want before you begin.
Surveys are a good means of doing this. Don't make the mistake of presuming that you know what people want: Go to the source – and use that information to build your enrichment options.
- Step Two – Consider which job enrichment options you can provide. You don't need to drastically redesign your entire work process. The way that you design the enriched jobs must strike a balance between operational need and job satisfaction. If significant changes are needed, consider establishing a "job enrichment task force" – perhaps use a cross-section of employees, and give them responsibility for deciding which enrichment options make the most sense.
- Step Three – Design and communicate your program. If you're making significant changes, let people know what you're doing and why. Work with your managers to create an enriching work environment that includes lots of employee participation and recognition. Remember to monitor your efforts, and regularly evaluate the effectiveness of what you're providing.
Key Points
Job enrichment is a fundamental part of attracting, motivating, and retaining talented people, particularly where work is repetitive or boring. To do it well, you need a great match between the way your jobs are designed and the skills and interests of the employees working for you.
When your work assignments reflect a good level of skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy, and feedback, members of your team will likely be much more content, and much less stressed. Enriched jobs lead to more satisfied and motivated workers.
Your responsibility is to figure out which combination of enrichment options will lead to increased performance and productivity.

Over a month agoHi ksatya574,
Generally speaking, usually only minor changes to an individual's position are required to increase job satisfaction, such as assignment of tasks that provide an opportunity to broaden or deepen existing skills or develop new ones. If the changes are significant, it is important to engage human resources to re-evaluate the job. In terms of changing titles, if the change is substantial, the situation many warrant a title change. Once again, check with human resources. Many organizations have guidelines on titles to ensure there is consistency across all jobs, between teams and levels.
Mind Tools Team
Over a month agoI really liked the information provided in this article. I just need few insights on Change of Titles/Designations that reflects the job enrichment programs from time to time. For example: We are size of 5 team members and people expressed that they are bored with monotonous job and always look for opportunities to handle new tasks. Job enrichment is an effective tool to implement and motivate the team members. What about the current titles and career progression of an individual if they are handling different roles year on year.
Looking forward to your response on the above. Thank you very much.
Over a month agoI so completely agree. The only way you are going to get employee with vested interest in your department and your organization is to involve them. There is no room for us and them thinking. Do what you have to increase employee involvement - I like the idea of increasing autonomy and helping employees to take more control over their projects and assignments.
We have experimented with job rotation a bit and that didn't work for us. WE were in constant training-mode. It basically felt like it would in a company with very high turnover. Sure we didn't have t tell them what the company was all about and they were already indoctrinated into the culture but it seemed the technical parts of the job were the most time-intensive to train on anyway. Maybe it works for some workplaces but it sure didn't work for ours.

United World International is an independent analytical center, where political scientists and experts in international relations from different countries will exchange opinions and their views of outstanding political situations.
What is special about UW is its openness and independence of all ideological stereotypes and state propaganda. The UW brings together experts from all over the world to study political processes on international arena and problems at the basis of systems and seek methods to cope with crises.
Most international organizations designed to defend the interest of nations and individuals have not been coping with their problems for a long time. The activities of G7, EU, The World Bank, The WTO, The Federal Reserve System, IMF and other systems of global management have long been causing doubts. Who runs them? Why do the elites of different countries move away from their nations to an extent where they stop representing them? How can all this be remedied? Our experts seek answers to all those questions.
Such acute problems as the shortage of resources, genocides, violation of human rights in certain districts are simply ignored by such structures as the UN. When the rights of many nations are infringed upon because their problems are not treated as priorities by the UN it is especially important to set up an organization which would discuss such phenomena.
Our goal
The main aim of the UW is to organize a dialogue between nations, continents, and civilizations. At present globalization which is demolishing diversity between cultures and nations is depriving whole civilizations of its rights. We are out to provide a chance for all nations to a say so that world problems would be decided on a mutual basis.
Our team
The UW experts do not share Francis Fukuyama's opinion that 'history has come to an end' (due to the victory of liberalism and establishment of a united globalist world). Our experts are for a diversified world (United in diversity) in which there will be a place for different cultures, nations and civilizations. Those who expose Samuel Huntington's 'The Clash of civilizations' will hardly feel comfortable at this stage. UW favors the right of nations against all forms of discrimination which hide the world from view.
Paraphrasing president Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address we are in favor of a world of the people, by the people, for the people.
The United World Int sets itself the task of throwing light on all cases of violation and discrimination of the rights of nations.
The Chief Analyst of United World Int is Koray Gürbüz, the turkish expert in Foreign Relations, security specialist, writer (author of Şehit Mektupları (2003), Vatan Toprağına Can Ekenler (2017), Unut Mayin (2017)).
Our work
An important feature of our materials and forecasts is that we provide an analysis of the history and development of problems and political processes in their full complexity. The aim is to speak of the objective and realistic problems of humanity to analyze their sources and to seek for methods of coping with them in the process of a dialogue among experts of different countries.
The special investigations and the expert articles of the United World International were quoted by the influent media of the Middle East ( Al Arabiya , Al Yaum, Anadolu, Demirören News Agency, Tasnim News Agency, Mehr News Agency, Gazete Duvar, ساسة بوستصحيفة اليوم , عاج, ).

The Texas Forest Service recommends trench depth of 48 inches in most soil types. Based upon their current research root trenching is successful 78 percent of the time.
Since 1998 I have installed hundreds of miles of trenching at depths 52, 60 in rock and up to 9 feet in bottom land soils. I have installed both rural ranch trenches and urban complex trenches like my urban projects located in the City of Lakeway and City of Hollywood Park Texas.
What we offer is the best guaranteed trench line in Texas.
We cut rock at a minimum depth of 54 inches and soft soils from 54 inches until the point of deep depth needed.
We cut deeper than the Texas Forest Service recommendations.
We guarantee our work against failure in most cases.
Our prices are very reasonable.

Summer is for salads, especially now that cucumbers, lettuce, and tomatoes are in plentiful supply at the farmers' markets. At the end of a long, hot day like today, a salad in the fridge is a welcome sight indeed.
All it takes to make this happen is a little advance planning when you hear the forecast for a stretch of hot weather.
One option is to prepare extra servings any time you cook a grain and to marinate the leftovers in the refrigerator. Simply add a scoop or two of the marinated grain to your favorite salad, and you will have a satisfying meal. See this past post for some ideas.
Another option is to prepare a grain salad that you can serve atop a bed of mixed greens. For a potluck contribution to a Memorial Day picnic, I made this beautiful (and very easy) farro salad based on a recipe by Giada De Laurentiis found online at the Food Network site.
Farro Salad
- 4 cups water
- 10 ounces farro (about 1 1/2 cups) [I used a bag of Trader Joe's 10 Minute Farro.]
- Salt to taste [or a vegetable bouillon cube]
- 1 pound plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- 1/2 sweet Vidalia onion chopped
- 1/4 cup snipped fresh chives
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Combine the water and farro in a medium saucepan.
- Add salt or bouillon.
- Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the farro is tender, about 30 minutes for conventional farro, less for the Trader Joe's.
- Drain well, and then transfer to a large bowl to cool.
- Add the tomatoes, onion, chives, and parsley to the farro, and toss to combine.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the garlic, vinegar, salt, pepper, and olive oil.
- Add the vinaigrette to the salad and toss to coat.
The salad can be refrigerated overnight. Bring to room temperature before serving.
It is delicious served on top of salad greens. With additions such as chopped celery, cucumbers, kalamata olives, or crumbled feta, farro salad can easily become a complete meal.
If you don't have any farro on hand, you can substitute orzo or small bowtie pasta, but you will miss out on some nutritional benefits. One serving of farro has 10 grams of protein, 2% of the recommended daily value of calcium, and 19% of the daily value of fiber vs. 7 grams of protein and 8% of fiber for conventional pasta.
Get creative. And enjoy your time outside the kitchen.
Happy Summer! Happy Meatless Monday.
On Mondays I often blog on food, food issues, or gardening in support of Meatless Monday, one of several programs developed in the Healthy Monday project, founded in 2003 in association with Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Syracuse University's Newhouse School of Communications. Meatless Monday's goal is "to help reduce meat consumption 15% in order to improve personal health and the health of our planet."

When did you start playing soccer, and how did you start if you remember?
Emily: I started playing soccer when I was young, around kindergarten. I live near Esternay, so I would go to the field with my family and just kick the ball around. This was also around the time when I started to play for Chatham Rec.
Sean: I used to wrestle, and around that time is when I started to play soccer. Before and after wrestling practice, my brother and I would take the soccer ball outside and play. We both realized we really like it and went on to play from there.
When did you realize you wanted to take soccer really seriously?
Emily: Up until 6th grade, I was a competitive gymnast. When I tried out for the Chatham United team in 5th grade, I didn't make it. Luckily, the Madison Soccer Club head coach let me try out for the team and I made it. I really loved playing "real" games, but unfortunately I had to miss a lot of them for gymnastics. I used to practice and compete around four times per week. So I decided to quit gymnastics in sixth grade, and I tried and made the Jersey United Soccer Club team. To keep up with the kids around me, I worked really hard on skills on my own.
Who influenced you to work hard?
Emily: There are many people who have influenced me, but at the top of the list are all the coaches I have had in high school, travel, and club. I wanted to impress them and also earn playing time, so that motivated me to work harder.
Sean: Because my dad became an All-American and played D1 wrestling for Syracuse, I always had that influence from him. Seeing him work hard showed me an example.
Why do you love soccer?
Emily: I love it for many reasons: the team being your second family, the adrenaline rush, the competition, and the challenge.
Sean: I have always loved the intensity and physical challenges that the game brings.
When and how did you realize you wanted to play soccer for Skidmore College?
Emily: I went to a bunch of ID clinics, and when I went to Skidmore's it was the only one where I felt completely comfortable. The coaches and people were really warm to me, the climate there matched my desires, the campus was beautiful, it is located in an amazing area, and the art and English program are great, which are the two things that I want to pursue. It matched and felt more right than any other school.
Will you be training any differently now that you are committed and know where you are going to college?
Emily: I won't be changing much at all. The only change I will make to my current routine is working out more. In college you play against much stronger and older girls, so more weight training is being incorporated to my workouts.
Sean: Ohio State University is part of the Big 10 (their conference) and competes against the best teams in America for D1 soccer. I have been ramping up my training since summer, and I am getting ready to focus and face the challenges of the Big 10.
Both seniors may be done with college work and have some relief, but their schedules are changing too. Their college mindsets are already taking control of a big part of their lives - their athletic lives. For Vinick and Ryan, this is a goal completed, and a step closer to the experience of a lifetime. Congratulations to both Emily Vinick on her commitment to Skidmore College and Sean Ryan on his commitment to Ohio State University!

Labour's pledge to inject up to $20 million to support the construction of a timber pre-fabrication plant in Gisborne would have spin-off benefits for Hawke's Bay, but to work needs both rail and road transport options between Gisborne and the Napier Port, says Hawke's Bay regional councillor Alan Dick.
Labour leader Andrew Little announced yesterday that if elected a Labour-led government would provide a stimulus package up to $20m to enable the construction of a timber prefabrication plant and associated infrastructure in Gisborne.
"One of the biggest strengths of the Gisborne region's economy is timber, yet too many logs are being shipped straight offshore without jobs and value being created for locals.
"This money will match dollar for dollar investment from businesses and local economic development agencies, and be subject to a robust and transparent tender process."
He said the funding could be used for construction of the plant, investment in necessary infrastructure upgrades to support it, or supporting sawmilling technology to help provide the lumber.
The new factory would complement the existing Wood Engineering Technology plant being constructed on the Prime Sawmill site.
"Our plan also elevates Gisborne's industry and talent-base into a key role for building of new homes. The housing shortage in New Zealand is growing by 16,000 homes each year and the Government has no plan to deal with the housing crisis.
"By bolstering an already growing prefabrication industry, we can boost the industry's ability to build houses at affordable prices."
Mr Dick is a member of the regional council's corporate and strategic committee, and said both the Gisborne and Hawke's Bay districts could certainly benefit from added value of timber and processing crops but there was a need for suitable transport infrastructure.
"State Highway 2 is a difficult road already - it's become congested with logging trucks and it will get worse even with rail picking up a good part of the task starting later this year.
"For something like this to work, and I'm sure it can, Gisborne district needs dual transport both to support and complement each other and provide price competition.
"There's huge potential for Gisborne and Hawke's Bay, because for export purposes the Port of Napier is the prime and logical destination."
To date a deal between KiwiRail and the Port of Napier had been reached, underwritten by the Hawke's Bay Regional Council, for when the Wairoa log harvest starts coming on stream this year.
This would see KiwiRail cart logs from Wairoa to the Port of Napier, initially with four trains each weekend, progressing to a daily service, Mr Dick said.
"This gets the rail line operating again - it's in good condition up to the Hawke's Bay Regional Council boundary north of Nuhaka, but Gisborne is left on a limb because of the 2012 washouts.
"They need to be fixed and there are moves under way from the Gisborne end to encourage that to happen."
Last week the Gisborne Rail Co-operative made a presentation to the council's corporate and strategic committee seeking support to approach KiwiRail to reopen the Gisborne end of the Napier-Gisborne line for freight, as well as tourism services.
Committee chairman Neil Kirton said if the group could get a commitment from the Gisborne District Council to put some money towards developing a business case then the regional council would also consider contributing some money.
Labour's Tukituki candidate Anna Lorck said working in partnership with regional industry and getting behind local aspirations was a way to support business growth, opportunity and regional economic development.
"With billions of logs being milled out of Hawke's Bay over the coming years we must have confidence that our rail and roading infrastructure will manage and can get our logs to market - for New Zealand added value products and for export.
"Hawke's Bay has made great progress on standing up for the Gisborne/Napier rail line, despite the National Government being against it and wanting a cycle way instead. We're all go now on the Napier to Wairoa section and this could well provide an even stronger case to get it opened all the way to Gisborne."
She added the move would also support building more affordable housing in the region.
"We need to build more houses to address the shortage and attract people to the region."
Napier Labour MP Stuart Nash said this was a first step in partnering with territorial authorities, who were driving such initiatives.
"We did not go to Gisborne and say you want to build this, they came to us to ask for support - it's being driven by them which is the only way economic development in the regions can be successful.
"And this is what it's all about - economic development and jobs, and we are helping enable that."

My main concern is the unwanted effect of dragging feet on the ground - but from reference pictures, videos and observations, this is the way people actually walk, with just a small foot raise. Or have I missed something?
You need to bend the knee a bit and the foot. As is looks like he's just dragging his feet around.Also your bounce I can't quite get it, but seems bouncy to me, not smooth accompanying the walking.
Sure, reference pictures may tell you that your picture is accurate, but if it doesn't look right, you should fix it anyway. After all, when it comes down to animation, most actions have to look exaggerated.Good luck with your game. Isometric is an incredibly difficult choice.

How to Build and Run a Code::Blocks Programming Project in C
To create a program in the Code::Blocks C integrated development environment, you must build the project. This single step does several things. If you've already started your first project, ex0101, and it's open and displayed in Code::Blocks, you're ready to build. Heed these steps:
Ensure that the project you want to build is activated in the Management window.
Activated projects appear in bold text. If you have more than one project shown in the Projects window, activate the one you want to work with by right-clicking the project name (by the Code::Blocks icon) and choosing the Activate Project command.
Choose Build→Build from the menu.
The Build Log tab in the Logs part of the window displays the results of building the project. You see a few lines of text.
Because you didn't mess with the source code skeleton, the project compiles with no errors; you see the text within the summary that indicates zero errors and zero warnings. Good. When errors do appear, which is often, you go about fixing them. The error messages help in that regard.
Building a project is only half the job. The other half is running the project, which means executing the completed program from within the IDE.
To run the current project, choose Build→Run from the menu. You see the terminal window appear, listing the program's output, plus some superfluous text.
Press the Enter key to close the command prompt window.
And now, for the shortcut: You can build and run a project using a single command: Choose Build→Build and Run.
The keyboard shortcuts for Build, Run, and Build and Run are Ctrl+F9, Ctrl+F10, and F9, respectively. No need to memorize those shortcuts — they're listed on the menu.
Command buttons to build and run projects are found on the Compiler toolbar. You'll find a yellow gear icon for Build, a green arrow for Run, and a combination of the two for the Build and Run command.
The program output appears in the top part of the command prompt window. The last two lines are generated by the IDE when the program is run.
The text shows a value returned from the program to the operating system, a zero, and how long the program took to run (9 milliseconds). The Press any key to continue prompt means that you can press the Enter key to close the window.

Tara and I took most of the day off yesterday...exploring a bit and driving around. We hung out at the park for well over an hour (the weather has been gorgeous...almost like spring!!)...and she just loves riding her princess bike she got for Xmas. Of course I still did a little bit of stuff around the house...I guess the trick is balance, right?? So...I wanted to share a super simple DIY project with you all...(this one from Ikea is childproof, colorful, whimsical ...and super cheap) and a crate underneath filled with dress up clothes (tutus, handbags, old Halloween costumes etc)...and it's all done!! She just loves it! Now...I have seen some amazing and pretty elaborate ones online...but I decided to stick with this super simple one for right now. Dressing up is a fantastic way to fuel creativity + imagination in a child, fostering self esteem and possibility. Plus...it's just plain fun!! Oh!! and dressing up isn't only for girls...just take a look at this amazing corner right here!!
Have a great weekend friends...I will be trying to balance rest + work!!

When people are looking to buy a house, most of them have mental checklists. They'll want granite countertops, an open floor plan and lots of counter space. Some people hate split-level houses. Some prefer carpet over hardwood floors and vice versa. Everyone has different tastes. No matter how picky a house hunter is, though, they would never know how to react to this house in Birmingham, UK. It has a feature that you'll either love or hate… but you'd never expect.
This is a 4 bedroom house that is listed for sale on rightmove.co.uk.
It is semi-detached and quite pretty on the inside.
There is a living room with a fireplace.
A large, gorgeous kitchen.
A master bedroom…
Complete with a master bath.
There is even a beautiful conservatory out back, perfect for Sunday brunch.
The backyard is also quite large. But … hey… what's that?
Is that what I think it is?
IT IS. There is a PUB in the back yard.
There is a finished bar in the yard, complete with "ceiling spot lights, bar with rear optic shelves, tables, chairs and stools, pool and darts area, and doors into two large storage rooms with lighting and power."
Did you hear that? A pool table.
It's a beautiful 4 bedroom house, complete with bar. If you live in Birmingham, there is no reason why you shouldn't put an offer in on this house. Even if you already own one. Source: rightmove.co.uk More people need to learn to design houses like this. Share this story with your friends.

Where does the longing to awaken come from,
But from awakening's urge to awaken to itself?
That may seem to leave us out of the picture,
But what better safeguard could anyone ask for?
For when ego-mind takes over the search and the seeking,
There's nothing but rough waters ahead.
Best to welcome our awakening-self into the game,
That part of us that truly feels the pull to the Beloved's doorstep.
NOTE: a two day promotion will make Awakening's Treasure (see top of page) available free November 9-10.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- A light quarterly forecast from Texas Instruments Inc. and a cut in Netflix Inc.'s yearly profit outlook sent shares of the chipmaker and the online DVD-rental company lower in late trading Monday.
The Nasdaq-100 After Hours Indicator, which tracks extended trading in the tech-heavy index's leading stocks, shed 1 point to end at 2,035.31.
Shares of Texas Instruments TXN, +0.45% fell 3.4% to end evening session at $36.90 after the world's largest mobile-chip maker forecast third-quarter earnings between 46 cents and 52 cents a share on revenue of $3.49 billion to $3.79 billion. Analysts were looking for earnings of 49 cents a share on $3.7 billion in sales.
Its second-quarter results came in line with estimates at $610 million, or 42 cents a share, on sales of $3.42 billion, but its profit fell from the year-ago period amid weaker chip demand. See full story.
Stock in Atheros Communications Inc. ATHR, -20.00% also fell in heavy trading for a loss of 7.2% at $29.80. The maker of wireless communications chip systems during an evening conference call forecast third-quarter earnings of 25 cents to 26 cents a share, while analysts were looking for 26 cents a share.
Atheros reported second-quarter net earnings of $9.3 million, or 16 cents a share, or $6.7 million, or 12 cents a share, last year. Pro forma earnings came in at $14.7 million, or 25 cents a share, above the estimate of 23 cents a share.
Revenue rose to $100.8 million from $73.2 million, in line with Wall Street's forecast of $101 million. It marked the first time that the company's quarterly sales surpassed the $100 million level. Gross margin also improved, to 49.7% from 49.1% a year ago.
Meanwhile, shares of Altera Corp. ALTR, +3.03% fared better with a gain of 0.7% at $25.10. The company, makes chips used in DVD players, Internet routers and other electronics, said that it's negotiating a long-term credit facility of up to $750 million and may use some of the proceeds to finance a share buyback.
Altera's second-quarter earnings rose 45 to $80.5 million, or 22 cents a share, on a fall in revenue to $319.7 million from $334.1 million. It expects sequential sales growth of flat to up 3% for the third quarter.
Netflix NFLX, +0.02% saw its shares fall 2.4% to $16.85, reversing course from a jump of about 9% during an earlier stage of the session. The company cut its 2007 earnings view to a range of 62 cents to 76 cents a share, down from its earlier estimate of 76 cents to 83 cents a share. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial were looking for earnings of 75 cents a share.
The company also forecast fewer subscribers for the year of 6.8 million to 7.3 million, down from 7.3 million to 7.8 million. See full story.
Excluding the gain, stock compensation expense and other items, Netflix would have earned $23.1 million, or 33 cents a share. Revenue rose 27% to $303.7 million, but missed the consensus estimate of $307.7 million. Analysts expected earnings of 23 cents a share.
Netflix shares tumbled 12% during the day following the company's announcement Sunday that it cut prices by $1 a month on two popular subscription plans, to $8.99 and $17.99 a month.
Also lower were shares of American Express Co. AXP, +1.70%. They lost 2.2% to end at $63.24. The financial services provider reported second-quarter net earnings of $1.06 billion, or 88 cents a share, up 12% from $945 million, or 76 cents a share, last year. But earnings growth was capped by an 85% increase in loss provision in its main U.S. credit-card division. See full story.

History of B&W Speakers
Bowers & Wilkins, or B&W, is a British company that manufactures audio equipment, especially loudspeakers. It was founded in 1966 by John Bowers and Peter Hayward. B&W is currently part of the B&W Group Ltd., which also includes Classé and Rotel. Some of the B&W speakers Canada retailers offer include the 600, 700 and 800 series.
John Bowers began assembling speakers by hand in the back of an electronics store he ran in Worthing, West Sussex with his friend Roy Wilkins. One of his customers, an elderly lady named Miss Knight, was so impressed with the speakers he made for that she left him £10,000 in her will to start a business. The first speaker B&W developed was the P1, which featured a cabinet and filter made by B&W.
B&W achieved a number of milestones in speaker technology during the 1970s, including the company's first use of Kevlar as a cone material. The DM7, released in 1977, was B&W's first speaker that separated the tweeter from the main cabinet, creating more lifelike high frequencies. This decade also saw the launch of the 801, which quickly became the reference speaker for almost all of the classical recording studios in the world, including Decca, Deutsche Grammophon and EMI Abbey Road.
The 801's enormous success allowed B&W to re-invest its revenue into additional research and development during the 1980s. Bowers created the Steyning Research Establishment (SRE) in 1981, which allows acoustic and electronics engineers to test speaker designs.
B&W launched multiple product lines across the price spectrum in the 1990s, primarily as the result of research at the SRE. The 600 series provided audiophile-quality sound at an entry price point for the first time in 1991. These B&W speakers are currently in their fourth generation and have received many five-star reviews.
Dramatic technological advances in subwoofers and tweeters allowed B&W to make a number of innovations during the 2000s. The Signature 800 series was first released in 2001 to celebrate B&W's 35th anniversary, which features a beautiful "Tigers Eye" gloss finish that demonstrates the company's cabinet-making skills.
B&W improved its Diamond tweeter technology during the 2010s and included it in more speakers. The Continuum cone was first used in 2015 for the 800 Series Diamond, allowing these speakers to deliver pristine midrange performance by negating break-up behavior.

Last night we were talking about new years resolutions and I asked what my resolution should be and he says, "I dunno, losing weight?"
In his defense, I've been complaining about how I've put on weight and not really doing anything about it. He thought he was making a suggestion based on what I actually want to do. But still... Ouch! Next thing you know he'll be telling me my ass DOES look fat in those jeans.
xnickerx:I think it's time you started leaving ads for a certain male organ pump lying around. Retaliation and all.....
Haha, my actual response was, "oh, so our new policy is brutal honesty? Mmm, let me see..." He very, very quickly got the point.

One of the most popular solutions is PrestaShop platform, which is already used by more than 100,000 stores all over the world. Since 2007, when it was officially launched, the platform gained loyal users and good reputation. So, let's find out: what is PrestaShop and why is it worth choosing for your online business?
PrestaShop - Freedom and Flexibility
This platform is an open source solution which means that you will be able to download PrestaShop free of charge. Another weighty advantage is that PrestaShop has multiple store features. This means that you will be able to manage several stores from a single admin area. As you know purchasing things through mobile devices has been picking up a lot in recent years. This shopping cart makes it possible to create a mobile version of Prestashop stores and this function in its turn may double your income.
This platform is incredibly flexible. You will be able to download any of the additional modules. Moreover adjustable shipping features will provide customers with reliable shipping options and the ability to include custom messages. This way you'll give shoppers more insight on what they are purchasing with the help of product image zoom. The option of product comparison can make deciding on a specific product easier. Yet there are literally dozens of other features aside from those mentioned above. A variety of peculiarities that PrestaShop comes with, will surely help you create PrestaShop stores of highest quality. It is believed that when customers look at the professionally made online shopping store, they become confident in the quality and safety of your e-store. This will encourage recurring visits and consequently increase your sales.
Nothing's Perfect: a Fly in the Ointment
Still PrestaShop is not flawless and you should pay attention to it's disadvantages before you decide whether to use this platform or not.
First of all, the platform is free, but you will have to pay for additional modules to get it working and looking the way you want. So, eventually you will have to spend some money on your online store.
Another disadvantage is the lack of marketing tools, which are usually available in other eCommerce solutions. PrestaShop doesn't provide you with the opportunity to create cross sell products or input attributes.
Another painful issue is PrestaShop support. However hard they work, their effort is still not enough to respond to all the users' questions and fix all the existing problems of the software. The lack of documentation only deepens the problem and sometimes it's really hard to manage a PrestaShop site without their help. Still, the team and loyal community do their best to solve it, so there's hope it will be solved in future.
Now you can draw your own conclusions and make the final choice. Give it a thought. Check it out from all angles. Weigh all the pros and cons and don't be afraid of changes because it is not a problem anymore to migrate from a current shopping cart to another.
Whichever platform you choose for your e-business Cart2Cart online automated shopping cart migration service will perform your data transfer in the best way. Simply register an account and set up your FREE Demo Migration right now!

Your ideas and photos are great and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Congrats in your 100 hub score. If you see caterpillars in your herb garden, you will have a little bit nursery moving into your herb backyard. If your yard already comprises just a few timber and shrubs, then you are properly on your method in direction of creating a backyard wildlife habitat garden. And do not be afraid to attempt a mixture of vegetable backyard layouts – for instance a potager type garden in raised beds.
Vicki, Especially useful are your colour and crystal options for individuals who, for whatever reasons, usually are not capable of install the precise parts of their inside and outside living spaces. My pal used a setup similar to the fencing used in the cucumber garden instance, however he used it for tomatoes instead. I prefer to make the drift wooden I put in my yard snug and keep it from drying out in the solar.
I do like incorporating perennials into our backyard along with just a few annuals each year only for a splash of further coloration. Gardening might be quite costly however there are methods to have a reasonably backyard without spending too much! Bring a small piece of rainbow to your own yard with these low cost and super artistic rainbow fire crystals! Garden Gnomes and Flamingos, chook baths and chicken feeders, water fountains and windchimes add whimsey to your landscape. I write cash making hubs only after I have new and fascinating ideas to share, and that is no exception. It will surely give my garden a quirky appearance to match my quirky nature.
I think moon gardens are a nifty concept and made a web page about them after seeing the one in Fort Myers, Florida. There are few things that taste higher in summer than a juicy, vine-ripened tomato or a crisp cucumber just picked from the garden. If you're not comfy with Paypal, simply mail a verify to Friends of the Garden of Ideas, P.. Box 732, Ridgefield, Ct. 06877. Take advantage of those and other companion plants when designing your vegetable garden.

Hard bop
The baterista of jazz Art Blakey in concert with The Jazz Messengers to Plougonven in France.
As reaction to the intelectualismo of the bebop, the musicians of the hard bop they claimed the comeback of the jazz to its origins, with special accent in the energy and the spontaneity of the music. The rhythmic element was remaining reinforced, and the alone ones derived from the language of the musicians bebop, acquired more force and vitality, shaping an aggressive and intense music. In fact, the adjective "hard" (five-peseta coin) has in this expression the connotation of "intense".
Had special influence between the musicians of the East coast, and it is linked especially to the black musicians of the cities of the Great Lakes, like Chicago or Detroit. They, "liked the improvisations deeply, the warm sounds, the phrases of pure angles, the explosive rhythms". for many authors, the hard bop was a rereading of the bebop "to the advantage of a route that was opened for the pursuit of an uninterrupted tradition in which the deepest roots kept on having an important specific gravity".
Max Roach was one of the initiators of the movement, along with Art Blakey or Sonny Rollins. There stood out also the saxophonists Cannonball Adderley, Phil Woods, Tina Brooks, Hank Mobley, Joe Henderson, Pepper Adams, Benny Golson or Jackie McLean; the trumpeters Woody Shaw, Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard, Donald Byrd, Blue Mitchell, Art Farmer or Clark Terry; the pianists Mal Waldron, Bobby Timmons, Horace Parlan or Duke Pearson; the vocalist Abbey Lincoln; the guitarist Kenny Burrell; the counterbassists Reginald Workman, Paul Chambers and Charles Mingus; the drummer Pete La Roca; or the big bands of Thad Jones or Maynard Ferguson.

And reports went widespread on Wednesday that the English gaffer is not happy with the $16,000 compensation package the club gave him hence will head to court.
The reports further stated that the former Berekum Chelsea coach fingers the club's management over their failure on the continental stage.
But lawyer Boafo was not impressed with the assertion of the Englishman and challenged him to go ahead with his court claims.
"Somebody sent me a link today of Steve Polack blaming us (management) for the reason we didn't qualify.we played for 180 minutes against CARA, we could not score a goal from open play and we missed 3 penalties. I can't see how Pollack will come and tell us (management) that it's our fault" he said.
Lawyer Boafo continued "I never knew I was a striker or a midfielder and Dr Kwame Kyei (Kotoko Executive Chairman) was a goalkeeper…Steve Pollack is the only Coach in Kotoko's history who never won 3 matches in a row so it's very good for him to go quietly…and spare this childish stuff blaming everybody, it's like a kid who's entered a candy store."
Kotoko meanwhile, have replaced Polack with Samuel Paa Kwesi Fabin ahead of the 2017/18 Ghana Premier League campaign.

Chocolate Crinkle Cookies + Tocos (vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free)
Cookie season for us lasts all year, haha! But there is something about the holidays that really puts the pressure on cookie-baking, am I right??
And I love this traditional chocolate crinkle cookie recipe especially around the holidays but obviously I couldn't just shove a bunch of sugar into my family members' mouths, so I "healthified" this recipe up a bit!
With…drumroll… Tocos!
No, not tacos. T.O.C.O.S. Tocos.
What is tocos, you say? If you don't know, you are in good company. Even Google appears perplexed. Try putting "tocos" into a google search and it will insistently flash a message at you.."Don't you mean tacos?"
Haha. For once I am smarter than Google. NO Google, I don't. And WordPress spellcheck, you be quiet too!
What is Tocos?
Powdery airy Tocos is made from rice bran solubles and is considered a terrific provider of bio-available vitamin E, making Tocos absolutely golden for your skin health, as well as awesome support for your muscles which depend heavily on vitamin E!
Generally I do hold back from jumping for the next new "superfood"! And I try to refrain from using that term loosely. But this is a supplement that is worth looking into. You can use it to make your hot drinks healthier, and now, in my experience, you can use it to turn your baked goods into healthier workout snacks.
Tocos, is actually a nickname for tocotrienols. The stuff is delicious straight out of the bag.
Like vanilla-latte-in-powdered-form delicious.
Technically it is a form of brown rice–bran solubles from the hard shell that surrounds a grain of rice.
It's being lauded as a booster for skin and muscle health specifically because it delivers a super bio-available dose of vitamin E which supports skin and connective tissue, and even muscle function. Recent reports are investigating its abilities to also detox and fight disease.
It's already found in common foods in a less concentrated form, including palm oil, broccoli and spinach.
But as a concentrated powder, it's a fun way to replace anything that requires a creamy ingredient.
Most people are just adding it to coffee and smoothies, but here I have used it to replace a large portion of sugar in this cookie.
How I used Tocos to Replace Sugar
Here I replaced the sugar with tocos and applesauce, using a ratio of 3 parts applesauce, 2 parts tocos and 1 part organic cane sugar. It went so well, I think next time I'll try even less sugar and more tocos.
I actually tried to replace the outer sugar coating entirely with tocos, but it didn't work so I could only supplement the coating, as well as mix it into the batter. Tocos dissolved too quickly as a coating and to achieve the "crinkle" look of this traditional cookie, the sugar coating has to stay intact.
Still, the traditional crinkle recipe calls for a ton of sugar overall, so replacing most of it with vitamin-E-strong tocos is an awesome healthy adjustment!
Hope you like these superfood cookies!
Chocolate Crinkle Cookies + Tocos (vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free)
- 3/4 cup apple sauce
- 1/2 cup cacao powder or add some black dutched powder for the traditionally darker cookie
- 1/2 cup tocos powder (I have also used both Moodbeli's version, called Cloud Powder, but it also has coconut milk in it. The Terrasoul brand I used here is pure Tocos.)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup organic cane sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup gluten-free all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
Sugar Coating
- 1/2 cup organic cane sugar
- 1/2 cup vegan powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup tocos powder (I have also used both Moodbeli's version, called Cloud Powder, but it also has coconut milk in it. The Terrasoul brand I used here is pure Tocos.)
Chocolate Coating
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 6 crushed peppermint candies . .
Combine flour, salt, baking powder and tocos in a mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
In a larger bowl, stir together the cacao (or black cocoa), sugar, applesauce, oil, and vanilla until smooth. Add in the flour mixture. Stir by hand or use a hand-mixer until dough is well combined.
Cover bowl and refrigerate for four hours.
Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Set the tocos in one small bowl and the powdered sugar in another. Scoop out about two tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball. Toss it in the tocos first, and then the sugar.
- Put them on the cookie sheet, pressing gentle so they are flattened a bit.
Bake 11-13 minutes; the center should be a bit under-baked. Cool about 5 minutes, and re-roll them in the tocos and sugar.
Set them on a cooling rack. Melt the chocolate in a pyrex measuring cup in the microwave in 60 second intervals and dip each cookie. Sprinkle on crushed candy mints and cool.

On Friday the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party announced that they have taken out a lawsuit against chancellor Angela Merkel over her decision to open Germany's borders to refugees in 2015.
Members of the AfD motivated the party's action against Merkel in a press conference:[2:21 minutes] "The Federal Government is bound by law and order. This is completely clear; this is the division of power. The Federal Government cannot say, now we find that one law is convenient, and the other less convenient. [2:42 minutes] "No, there's no dictator chancelloress; she cannot exist, according to the law. The chancellor has to follow law and order, and essential decisions, essential decisions that concern our community, have to be decided in the Parliament."

I joined the Class of 2007 at Denison University believing that I was more than prepared for life on campus and that my only challenges would be academic. I chose Denison, a small, liberal arts college within my home state, because my first choice, New York University, seemed too overwhelming, and my safety choice, The Ohio State University, was too close to home. Despite choosing a small, less intimidating school, I quickly realized that my college experience would have unforeseen challenges that would push me out of my comfort zone and require new life skills.
With more than 175 student organizations to choose from, I filled up my schedule with extracurricular activities and social events. I signed up for every committee that interested me, made partnerships and friendships, and had commitments almost every night of the week. As a result, my GPA took a nosedive because I spent more time organizing events than I spent studying for my Astronomy and Biology exams. I should have spent more time making friends through study groups and less time at the Slayter student union.
Denison's beautiful campus on a hilltop has excellent facilities, including computer labs on every quad, which I depended on for printing. Regretfully, on many occasions, I ran to a computer lab to print an essay or script just before a morning class. If the lab was out of ink or paper, I had to either wait for maintenance or run to another quad and risk being late to class. The little campus on a hilltop seemed to expand in size whenever I was on a deadline. If I had thought ahead, I would have purchased my own printer for my dorm room and saved myself many headaches.
First year students were paired up into dorms based on personality profiles and I was lucky to be matched with a great first roommate. A housing lottery was conducted for upperclassmen (non-freshmen) at the end of each year, which allowed students to enter into the lottery with self selected roommates in pairs, trios, or groups of six. I spent the spring semester of my junior year in London, England, and missed the housing lottery. Before I went abroad, I didn't plan ahead for the lottery by coordinating with friends, so I started senior year in a dorm with three unfamiliar and unkind girls. It was a challenge, but I was able to convince the housing department, called Residential Life, to move me to another dorm.
Although I got lucky and was given an unoccupied double room, I was moved to south quad, practically off campus and away from my friends, classes and computer labs, and it was a daily struggle to travel up and down the hill, especially in the winter.
My hometown of Columbus, Ohio, the fifteenth largest city in the U.S., was a 40-minute drive from campus; however, most students didn't own cars. Furthermore, the campus was strictly residential so after hours and weekend activities took place on campus, creating a feeling of entrapment and isolation. That feeling, called "The Denison Bubble", caused frustration and tension when students felt bored or separated from the rest of the world. My solution was to spend entirely too much time and money traveling back home on weekends for laundry, food, shopping, and entertainment. I eventually learned how to do my own laundry and began shopping at smaller stores in Newark, Ohio, about fifteen minutes from campus, rather than relying on traveling back home for basic needs.
As a work study student with an all access meal plan, I thought I had my food needs covered. It didn't occur to me that I wouldn't have access to food once the cafeterias, student union and in town restaurants closed for the day. Lacking culinary and meal planning skills, I survived on Hot Pockets whenever I couldn't access food. Laziness, coupled with ignorance, kept me from utilizing the full kitchens located in every residential building. If I had planned my meals and stored healthy snacks in my dorm refrigerator, I could have saved a ton of money and frustration while learning how to plan meals.
The academic, social and personal lessons that I learned at Denison shaped me into a well rounded, self reliant woman and I am excited to visit my alma mater in 2017 for my 10 year reunion. Although there are many things I wish I had known about Denison before I attended, I wouldn't choose any other school or campus.

Artistic Director | Choreographer | Dancer
Bollywood dance sensation Leena Patel is one of the UK's most accomplished and leading Asian performing artists. Her work has stretched from training young, fresh talent to a professional level through to choreographing celebrities.
Birmingham born Leena, carried out her first dance performance at her local community Diwali show at the age of eight. Thereafter her parents quickly saw her passion for dance and enrolled her into formal dance training at the Midlands Arts Centre in Birmingham. For over a decade she trained extensively in Bharatanatyam under the guidance of Chitraleka Bolar and Kathak with Sonia Sabri. She displayed the body of a natural dancer from a young age and developed classical movement vocabulary with ease. This provided Leena with the discipline and a strong base that she strongly believes is a necessity in the dance industry. She carried out her debut solo at the tender age of 14 and began her professional choreographic career shortly after this. In addition to this Leena was one of the first batch of students to complete her ISTD Bharatanatyam examinations.
Her debut solo performance opened up a door of opportunities and she was beginning to be recognised as the face of a promising artist. She began to tour the country with various dance-drama productions with Chitraleka Dance Company. At such a young age she had already performed at renowned venues across the country, including Birmingham Symphony Hall, CBSO, NEC and London's Royal Festival Hall. She worked on collaborative projects with the 'Birmingham Royal Ballet' and India based contemporary dance company 'Samudra'.
She was scouted by Midlands based 'Sampad', South Asian Arts Organisation; who gave her a further platform to develop her talent with collaborative drama productions. She was then specially commissioned to produce work for the 'World Urban Festival' in Vancouver where she made her international debut. Leena was one of the resident artists at the first international Dance Intense programme; which saw internationally acclaimed South Asian artists come together for a collaborative week of intense training in body conditioning, dance and choreographic training.
After being crowned as the first UK Bollywood Dance Champion; Leena moved to London to further her studies. She enrolled onto medical school at Barts and the London University. She joined Flex FX Productions in 2006 and quickly ascended the company hierarchy where she achieved a choreographic role within 6 months. She continued to develop her commercial and Bollywood choreography further on this platform.
She has choreographed and performed in various projects at renowned venues over the country; including 'Dhamaka '07' at the Royal Albert Hall; 'Bollywood Showstoppers' and 'Bollywood Showdown' at the O2 Arena over 3 consecutive years, 'Essence – the Musical' which toured the UK and multiple projects abroad. She was the lead dancer, head choreographer and co-director for London based 'Bolly Flex' for 5 years who made their debut on Sky One's 'Got to Dance'.
Her work has reached out to the Bollywood industry in India and she has choreographed and performed with top celebrities; Shahid Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha, Jacqueline Fernandez, Ali Zafar, Malaika Arora Khan and Bipasha Basu.
Leena's mainstream work has featured on Channel 4's 'Stand up to Cancer', and BBC's 'Strictly Come Dancing'. She co-choreographed a pilot commercial for 'Muller Yoghurt', which was released nationally in Germany and worked on a commercial with Gary Linekar for 'Walker's Crisp'. Leena was rewarded with much praise for her Bollywood choreography for WILL.I.AM at the 'BBC Music Awards'. She also co-choreographed for the prestigious 'Nobel Peace Prize Concert', which took place in Oslo, Norway in 2014.
Following her extensive body of work Leena has now been recognised as a public figure and she has presented as a guest judge at various UK Bollywood Dance Competitions.
Leena has embraced her classical dance training and integrated this with her passion for Bollywood dance and has created a niche in the industry. Her vision and unique adaptation of Bollywood choreography makes her one of the most sought after British Bollywood Dance Choreographers.
Leena has a multifocal vision within the arts and entertainment sector. In addition to continuing her professional development she aims to continue developing young talent and preparing the next generation of dancers for success in the industry as well as providing them with a platform. She hopes to bridge the gap in Bollywood Dance Entertainment between the UK, the USA and India to bring the talent together and work in unity to help solidify the basic infrastructure of the industry. She hopes to build and maintain a new style of dance 'Commercial Classical' which she will build on her platform with LPL.

Beyond the Surface – Untitled 2
As before I poured watercolour paint over in prussian blue and cad yellow. Then worked into the Cartridge paper with oil pastels followed by acrylic paint.
I love the way these evoke surfaces. This one makes me think of tree bark (particularly because of the format you've used) while the previous painting is more like the surface of the water. I really like the way the organic process you have used of letting the first application of paint find its own way recreates organic natural structures. I'd love to see these in real life.
Any ideas for your FMP yet?

The Piscis Austrinus Constellation
Piscis Austrinus is a constellation in the southern celestial hemisphere. The name is Latin for "the southern fish," in contrast with the larger constellation Pisces, which represents a pair of fishes. Prior to the 20th century, it was also known as Piscis Notius. Piscis Austrinus was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy, and itContinue reading
