What is it?
There are many millions of stars in the sky. In the whole heavens, fewer than 6000 stars are bright enough to be visible and at any one time, less than 2500 stars are visible above the horizon.
Stars account for 98% of the matter in a galaxy. The rest of 2% consists of interstellar or galactic gas & dust in a very attenuated form. The normal density of interstellar gas throughout the galaxy is about one tenth of a hydrogen atome per cm³ volume. Stars tend to form groups.
What I shall discuss here?
There are many types of stars in the universe having different name & definitions. I'll discuss a few of them!
Major kinds of Stars according to numbers
• Lone Stars :These are alone and going on their own. Lone stars are exception in the Universe.
These donot follow up the condition to be in galaxy. And this is the difference between it & Single stars.
•Single Stars These are found in galaxy & are single (for example Our Sun). These do not number more than 25% of Stellar (Star) Population.
•Binary Stars or Double Stars These exist as couples of stars (e.g., Antares in Scorpio is actually two stars) and they are some 33% of stellar population.
The rest are •Multiple Stars (e.g., Capella & Alpha Centuri comprize 3 stars each, while Castor consists of 6 stars).
Note that, stars which appear single to the naked eyes are sometimes double stars. There are two stars revolving around a common center of gravity. They are also found in orbital motion round each other, in periods varying from about one year to many thousands of years.
Vivid types of Stars according to their nature
Red Giants
When the hydrogen, the main element in a star, is depleted, its outer regions swell and redden. This is the first sign of age. Such stars are called Red Giants.
Our Star, the Sun, is expected to turn into a red giant in another 5 billion years. Red giants are dying stars that has expanded greatly from its original size and gives off red light. They have gigantic dimensions.
Black Dwarf
It is the blackened corpse of a star. Ultimately it disappears into the blackness of the space.
White Dwarf
It is a tiny, dense, hot star, representing a late stage in the life of a star. The matter in it is so incredibly dense that a single teaspoonful of it would weigh several tonnes.
These are huge stars, with all their hydrogen fuel used up in their core, but continue to expand hundred of times bigger than its original size before they finally die.
Novae & SuperNovae
These are kind of stars, whose brightness increases suddenly by 10 to 20 times are more and then fades gradually into normal brightness. The sudden increase in brightness is attributed to a partial or outright explosion. In Nova, it seems that only the outer shell explodes, whereas in SuperNova the entire star explodes.
Variable Stars
There are stars that show varying degrees of luminosity.
These are variable stars and are powerful quasi stellar sources of radio radiations.
These are also variable stars which emit regular pulses of electro-magnetic waves of very short duration.

I'm just starting with Spring WebFlow. I downloaded the latest version (as of 4/19/2012), version 2.3.1, and tried them out on my copy of Eclipse, running them on a jboss 7.1 server.
Issue: The only sample project that runs is booking-mvc. All the others fail deployment with errors of the sort
"The application must supply JDBC connections" or ClassNotFound exceptions for the various spring classes.
Details: I've got Indigo Service Release 2, and my jboss server is jboss-as-7.1.1.Final. I've got mvn set up and I followed the instructions to configure the sample projects for eclipse (mvn build, mvn test and then import using maven).
I *can* get the projects to work if I deploy the war files directly into the jboss server using the jboss administrative tool and bypassing eclipse. When I explode the war files, I can see all the libraries needed under WEB-INF/lib. But I'd like to get these samples working inside of eclipse if possible as it would be easier to start trying them out and changing them through the IDE rather than deploying manually every time I want to make a change.
I'm guessing there is something missing in the .pom files, but unfortunately I do not know much about maven either.
Thanks for any help.

Use your heaviest riff to slay the dragon Tony!! I wanna see you on stage at least!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With the news that Black Sabbaths Tony Iommi has been diagnosed with the early stages of lymphoma, his bandmates would like everyone to send positive vibes to the guitarist at this time. Iommi is currently working with his doctors to establish the best treatment plan--the IRON MAN of Rock & Roll remains upbeat and determined to make a full and successful recovery.
This comes as Black Sabbath--Ozzy Osbourne (vocals), Tony Iommi (guitar), Geezer Butler (bass) and Bill Ward (drums)--are writing and recording their first album in 33 years in Los Angeles (still set for release this fall) with producer Rick Rubin. They will now go to the UK to continue to work with Tony. Further information will be released as it becomes available.

Use your heaviest riff to slay the dragon Tony!! I wanna see you on stage at least!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lets all cross our fingers and hope the God Of Metal will beat this terrible disease. Best of wishes.

Very upsetting news, but at least it appears that they found it early. Worst possible timing, though!

C'mon Tony, whip this thing. All prayers for your health. Cancer sucks.

Be the change you wish to see in the world.
Just as Ronnie's fund tries to accomplish, early detection is key. We're ALL with Tony - Rock on!
God bless Tony Iommi,
this kinda hit me harder then i thought it would. I hope hes ok

THAT IS SHOCKING NEWS! GET WELL SOON TONY, THE WORLD STILL NEEDS YOU! \\mm// \\mm//
Swift recovery Tony! The world needs you!
"If youre in the memories of the good old days or when life was much better, make an attempt to find now because surely you will perish in yesterday." - Bill Ward
Just awful news....
Fuckin' cancer is everywhere! We just lost Ronnie and Jon Lord's struggling with it and now Tony! Where the fuck is the justice in the world when these things keep happening to good people and evil motherfuckers keep on living!
I wish all the best for the greatest guitar player in the world! I'll send positive energy every day and hopefully he'll beat this thing! We just can NOT loose yet another great talent to the big C!!
-Too many flames, with too much to burn, and life's only made of paper. Oh how I need to be free of this pain but it goes over and over and over again-
Dreadful, deflating news this. Sadly, early detection isn't always the boon it's widely believed to be. It really depends on the specific type of cancer involved, and the specific state of the disease in the affected individual. I really hope that in Tony's case, the early detection proves to be helpful---but most important will be the decisions taken by his doctors on the most appropriate and effective line of treatment that Tony needs, and the prognosis of any such intervention in his case.
All that said, I obviously hope that the living legend and our guitar hero pulls through this distressing health setback, and is properly healthy again, in the near future. Let's pray that the new Sabbath album will coincide with a Tony Iommi free of cancer and back to rude health.

Bloody hell, this is terrible news. I send good vibes, thoughts and prayers out to Tony for a speedy recovery.
"I can honestly say its truly been an honor to play at his side for all these years, his music will live on forever." ~ Tony Iommi (Speaking of Ronnie James Dio)
Unbelievable. This is horrible news. Put the new album on the back burner, I want a healthy Tony first. Get well Mr. Iommi.
Let me tell you now, about a friend of mine. He tried to shoot them lights, with whiskey and the wine. He didn't get so far, ah his gun was wrong. Now my sweet friend, where's your song? Shoot out the lights, shoot out the lights.
\m/ Terrible news get well soon our thoughts and prayers are with you \m/
I'm praying to God that Tony recovers from this, not only for the upcoming album and tour, but for normal life itself. Hopefully the doctors will be able to make this go away as soon as possible so that nothing gets cancelled and so that Tony can continue his life without this cancer.
Tony has given us all so much great musical wonders, he's still got so much to do and live for. The new feverishly anticipated album is in the works, the upcoming world tour schedule is like a treasure trove to countless people all around the world. Tony deserves to have it all and we deserve to experience the presence of his musical power.
I want Tony Iommi to recover from this and
Man that's harsh news. Lymphoma can be beaten. Let's all remain positive.
I wanted to see H&H in 2010, then Ronnie passed away. There ain't no chance in hell I am going to let the same thing happen with Tony Iommi... Get well soon Tony!! :D

I have had Hodgkins Lymphoma twice since 2007, It is beatable. Good luck with the treatments Tony. Any questions you have feel free to contact me. Wishing you nothing but the best, Brian
Cancer, suck my dick.
Tony will beat you!!
I'm in complete disbelief right now. This is definitely one of the worst things I've ever woken up to. Get well soon Tony! You are in our prayers. The Iron Man will get through this. I agree with 8bit fighter, until the riffmaster is back in good health put the album aside. Tony's good health is more important than a new album.
Joe, would there be any possible way to send Tony a giant get well card or something along those lines from everyone here on the forums to Tony?
Unexpected news. Horrible news. I can´t believe it ! And after such a big loss in the band.
I just wish to Tony a speedy recovery and hope to see him on stage in June. Kill this dragon, Tony !
Horrible news. Along with everyone else I send my very best wishes to Tony and his family.
Hopefully working with old friends on the album will be a tonic for him, but ultimately I hope he puts his health above all else.
Take care Tony - beat this, get well soon.
I don't need wings to reach the sky
And I don't need hands to hold you tight...

RIP Ronnie.
No, no no no no NO NO!!! FUCKING NO!!!!
Lymphoma's a tough one, early or not.....
My prayers go out to you! You WILL beat this. You will beat it, thrice over if need be.
I had Lyphoma in stage 4!!!!!!!!!! I started taking chemo in Dec 28 2006!!!!!!!
On into the next year. I never lost my hair. I actually played several shows with it and while taking treatment.
I still take nerve pills and pain pills due to the damage it caused to my body!
I just went to my cancer doctor last week.
I am well at this point. I have another ct/scan on (9/11/12)
Tony is alot older than I was. I was only 32 when I came down with it.
Get Better Tony,

Best Wishes to Tony. I Hope you get well and strong soon. I´m looking forward too see you and black sabbath this year. Positive thoughts to you.
Well, cancer doesn't like the greatest band of earth.
FUCK CANCER, Best wishes to Tony!
You work your life away and what do they give?
You're only killing yourself to live?
Praying for Tony. This is such bad news with the reunion and everything... here is hoping for an early recovery.
Do what thou will shall be the whole of the law
cant believe it. the timing in relation to the reunion is just awful. 10 years of back and forth and definately maybe and 2 months after uniting, this. WHACK. Of course this should be the last thing on tonys mind, just wish him a full and speedy recovery.
Do what you will to try and make me conform
I`ll make you wish that you had never been born
Fingers crossed that Tony will make a swift and full recovery.
It's ironic that a few weeks ago we all thought that Bill's health might be the weak link in the reunion, just goes to show that as we get older health problems just seem to be around the corner.
I just hope and prey that this is a minor episode in Tony's story.
My name is Lucifer please take my hand.
Send card to Tony?
This is a great idea. I support it
Tony: You can beat this! no problem, Praying for you and for a Speedy Recovery!
this is not ok...
Get well Tony!

The Iraq War and Lies
The speech had been proceeding for perhaps twenty minutes when a messenger hurried on to the platform and a scrap of paper was slipped into the speaker's hand. He unrolled and read it without pausing in his speech. Nothing altered in his voice or manner, or in the content of what he was saying, but suddenly the names were different. Without words said, a wave of understanding rippled through the crowd. Oceania was at war with Eastasia! The next moment there was a tremendous commotion. The banners and posters with which the square was decorated were all wrong! Quite half of them had the wrong faces on them. It was sabotage! The agents of Goldstein had been at work! There was a riotous interlude while posters were ripped from the walls, banners torn to shreds and trampled underfoot. The Spies performed prodigies of activity in clambering over the rooftops and cutting the streamers that fluttered from the chimneys. But within two or three minutes it was all over. The orator, still gripping the neck of the microphone, his shoulders hunched forward, his free hand clawing at the air, had gone straight on with his speech. One minute more, and the feral roars of rage were again bursting from the crowd. The Hate continued exactly as before, except that the target had been changed.
And so most American troops leave Iraq. But the lesson is already forgotten by the American public. Iraq joins a long list of wars in which we took part on false pretenses. The Spanish American War (USS Maine) and as a offshot the occupation of the Philippines, the Vietnam War and First Iraq War were all started because of lies. But the war drums started beating and everyone fell into line. No one asked questions, no one backed off the ledge despite one of the biggest anti-war demonstrations around the world at the time.
The time will come again that we will invade and occupy some country, and no one will bat an eye. The drums will beat, the talking heads will talk, and before we know it we'll be in a war. When someone asks even the simplest questions like how it will be paid for? or just how a weapon of mass destruction could reach the mainland of the United States? The answer will be why aren't you patriotic?
Even the "opposition" will fall into line and rally behind the flag. The questions will be unanswered, and no one will dare to look behind the curtain. It wouldn't be supporting the troops if you dared to ask those questions. Forget the fact that some of them will die, some of them will never be able to live the life they had hoped. Forget the fact that thousands of human beings will end up dead. Nope, if you question anything the simple response will just be that your not supporting the troops.
The girl I was dating at the start of the 2nd Iraq War thought I was insane when I was against the war. She thought people were going to try to lynch me for what I was saying. A few years later she admitted all this to me, and admitted she couldn't believe that I was actually right about so much of it. She thought at the time that Saddam Hussein was moments away from destroying the United States at anytime he wanted. Now she actually listens to me when I start rambling about politics.
It's almost enough to make me wonder what is being taught in schools. I mean are kids learning that the explosion of the USS Maine was an accident, or just that it was suspicious. Are they told about the yellow journalism of the time and how Hearst wanted to start a war to increase paper circulation? Does it mention the long occupation of the Philippines which lead to the creation of the Anti-Imperalist league and had such highly regarded figures as Mark Twain, Grover Cleveland and Andrew Carnegie among others.
What does it say about the Vietnam War and the Gulf Of Tonkin incident now? With hindsight (and papers which were classified for 30 years) we now know that no incident took place that night. For that matter we know that the American ship in the area a few days before had opened fire on the North Vietnamese torpedo boats. And yet we not only have the loss of life of 50K Americans for no good cause, but a high estimate of nearly 4 million dead all told. For what?
So we look towards Iraq and wonder what the legacy will be. Will people find a way to say that American troops in Iraq somehow helped the Arab Spring? Despite the fact of the matter being that America had propped up most of the dictatorships which were taken down. The debate about the legacy will in the end most likely mask the reality of the situation for those who lived it. No one wants to admit when everything is over and done that their sacrifice was for nothing.
We the people are no better then the Proles in 1984. We will turn on a dime, our friends today will be our enemies tomorrow. Those who point out what is going on behind the curtain will be shouted down and beaten down by the drums. The lies that were used to get us into the war will no longer work. But it doesn't matter after we're already there, and the reasons change after the matter. So no longer was it to stop Hussein from having WMDs, but the spread of democracy.
The lies just get bigger and bigger and more blatant every time. If you have not stood up in the past, then when will you take a stand about what's wrong? Now is the time for people to demand changes within the government. We shouldn't have to wait 30 years or more for documents to become declassified. We the people are the base of power for the government, it answers to us.
But if we allow our representatives to do whatever they want without consequence, in the end we lose. In the end it is the boot stomping our own faces for eternity. The best part is that it will be the people we continually choose to Represent us. All the facades of democracy will still exist, but it won't matter as both sides work together. Now is the time, between wars, to work on a lasting and true peace. To let the government know that it won't get away with lieing to us again.
Over the horizon, the war drums echo their familiar beat…

Lyons Township High School gets grant for grounds
LT students help remove invasive species from the courtyard.
Updated: January 10, 2013 10:43AM
LA GRANGE — Lyons Township High School recently received a $400 School Grounds Project Grant from the Earth Partnership for Schools at the University of Wisconsin, Madison – Aboretum, to help continue improvements to the South Campus Biology Courtyard. The monies will be used to purchase plants and equipment to develop the courtyard into a more utilized outdoor classroom space with native flora
LT was eligible for the funds due to the enrollment last summer of four LT science teachers in the weeklong Earth Partnership institute. During the institute, teachers learned about the establishment of a native environment on school grounds and how to incorporate these environments into the classroom.
The teachers presented information on the current of the courtyard, progress in the restoration process to date and the future vision. Upon completion of the institute, teachers committed to a two-year plan toward improving the courtyard environment. The Earth Partnership for Schools program is designed to engage students, teachers and community partners in restoring native habitats on schoolyards and nearby natural areas.
This fall, the Biology Courtyard Committee, comprised of teachers Michelle Wrona, David Stormont, Erica Flounders and Leilani Lopez, organized 22 students to remove non-native and invasive species such as buckthorn, honeysuckle and burning bush from the courtyard. The teachers and students also collected native prairie plant seeds from established plants, which will be reseeded into established and renovated prairie areas within the courtyard.
Over the winter season, the committee will determine the areas to be planted and what species to establish in the courtyard. The goal is to continue removing invasive species and to expand the planting of a native prairie ecosystem in the spring. The $400 grant will help increase the number and diversity of prairie plants and expand the planting area.
Over the last two years, partnerships with Eagle Scout candidates from the Boy Scouts have yielded improvements to the courtyard. Brian Ramm, LT Class of 2011, helped establish a prairie plot within the courtyard and LT junior Ben Reardon built a compost bin this fall.
An additional goal of the committee is to construct a space that can become more widely utilized by faculty and courses of different disciplines, both as an outdoor education area and as a recreation area.
Eventually, the committee hopes to establish an environment of native prairie and woodland species and provide signage so that students and community members could use the area to learn about native ecosystems and sustainability in a self-guided capacity.

diy till we die: petal clutch
I have quite a collection of clutches in my closet because as much as I love my handbags, sometimes a nice-looking, good-sized clutch is that way to go to complete an outfit.
Here is a simple tutorial on how to transform your plain clutch into a gorgeous petal & ruffled-inspired fashion accessory.
1 clutch
Can of Metallic Gold Spray Paint
4 "Silk" Flowers
Take apart the flowers and spray the petals, and a light coat on the clutch as well, in case it peeks out anywhere.
Use a glue gun to glue the petals on the clutch, with the biggest petals on the bottom, in-between sized on the middle row, and smallest on top.
Then glue a strand of gray glass pearls on, and finish it with a little foam flower (or any other bauble you can find or like).

That's brilliant, will have to give it a go sometime!! Have a great weekend!! xx

British Lions hero lays top tribute on Harlequins and England captain Chris (From Wimbledon Guardian)
Contact us: Got a photo? Text SLPICS to 80360, click to upload your story or call 020 8722 6333
Leonard: "Chris leads from the front and by example. The great captains I've played under – like Martin Johnson – do that"
9:47am Friday 1st March 2013 in Harlequins By Stuart Amos
British & Irish Lions hero Jason Leonard has likened England skipper Chris Robshaw to legendary Lions and England captain Martin Johnson.
Johnson, a three-time Lions tourist, lifted the World Cup for England in 2003 having won a Lions series as captain in South Africa in 1997.
The 42-year-old former Leicester Tigers lock led the Lions to a 2-1 series win over the Springboks having never captained his country prior to being handed the honour.
Robshaw is still in his fledgling years as England captain, but has already led the team to notable wins over New Zealand, Ireland and France.
And Leonard reckons Lions coach Warren Gatland could do worse than look in the Kingston-based player's direction when choosing his man.
He said: "He has to be in the mix.
"He leads from the front and by example. The great captains I've played under – like Martin Johnson – do that.
"They are the guys you want to put your body on the line for because you know they would do everything and more for you."
Robshaw, England's leading ball carrier on the day, delivered his second successive Six Nations man-of-the-match performance as his side edged past France 23-13 at Twickenham last Saturday.
Head coach Stuart Lancaster praised the impact of all his second half substitutions, of which Quins scrum-half Danny Care impressed by giving his side much needed impetus in the closing 20 minutes.
But it was captain Robshaw who did most to get his side over the line and again do his Lions prospects little harm.
Lancaster said: "He was outstanding. Him and Tom Wood in the back row in the last 10 or 15 minutes were everywhere.
"They were like rocks in the side and it was what we built our game around.
"Chris was outstanding, not only for his leadership, but also his ability to make correct decisions under pressure, as a player as well as a captain, is a great testament to him."
Quins number eight Nick Easter, currently out of the England reckoning, gave his Lions chances a boost with an impressive display in his club's 30-21 win at struggling Sale Sharks on Friday night.
A Tom Williams try and eight points from Ben Botica gave Quins a 13-7 advantage at the break before Easter and Charlie Matthews went over after the break to make the game safe.
Director of rugby Conor O'Shea said: "It was a huge win for us, especially with the players we were missing.
"These are the games that are important, so we are absolutely chuffed to bits."
Quins host Exeter Chiefs on Saturday.

Don't know what region? Try map view
A firm favourite on the backpackers' trail, Thailand is a country of enormous contrast - drawing thousands of people to South-East Asia. A predominantly Buddhist country with a fascinating history, this former kingdom is renowned for its hospitality and any visitor will be assured of a warm welcome.Be sure to spend at least a day in the frenetic capital Bangkok, known by the Thais as the City of Angels. This exuberant city is full of hidden gems just waiting to be discovered: wild orchids thriving in the tropical climate, colourful markets where you can put your bartering skills to the test, beautiful temples and architecture, and so the list goes on. An eclectic mix of old and new, watch as saffron-robed monks wander the streets and then take a ride on the space-age Skytrain. Get right in amongst the hustle and bustle and see the city from a tuk-tuk, or for a more sedate approach hire a bike and explore the surprisingly quiet back streets and alleys. After a hard day's sightseeing why not treat yourself to a relaxing Thai massage?>However there is much more to Thailand than the buzz of Bangkok. Just off the Gulf Coast there are countless islands waiting to be explored - with self catering accommodation to choose from. Little pieces of paradise on earth, hop between the idyllic Phuket, Ko Samui, Ko Phi Phi to name just a few. Lie back on the sun drenched beaches as the warm waters gently lap at the golden shores and feel a million miles away.Back on the mainland take in the Bridge on the River Kwai in Kanchanburi, or visit the historic city of Ayuthay. The former capital of Thailand is now a World Heritage Site and should be on any visitor's itinerary. This is a nation bursting with natural beauty - waterfalls, National Parks, not to mention the beaches. No visit to Thailand would be complete without tucking in to some authentic Thai cuisine. With its fusion of delicate flavours, Thai food is becoming a firm favourite worldwide, but there really is no better place for it than on home soil.

This book provides a thorough account of the Triassic rocks on the Yangtze platform and adjacent basin in Guizhou Province, China. The Yangtze platform that stretches across south China was one of Earth's very large and very persistent regions of shallow-water deposition. The Triassic System includes the thickest sections, spectacular platform-margin cross sections, reputedly the only petroleum source rocks and potential reservoirs, and the termination interval for marine deposition on the Yangtze platform. Termination occurred in the early Carnian; thus Lower and Middle Triassic platform rocks are overwhelmingly carbonates, whereas Upper Triassic are mostly siliciclastic. Some of the youngest Permian rocks in the world covered the platform and the transition to Triassic deposition is typically in conformable marine facies, so an excellent record of the recovery of biota and shallow-water carbonate deposition from the end-Permian extinction is preserved.

By Nancy Q. Smith
We are designing a talent management system. Our first priority is to…
How would you complete that statement? The most typical answer is:
"Design quality components of a talent management system and identify a technology provider."
What we don't often hear is this:
"Decide what business goals we're going to support and ensure the talent management system we design results in the achievement of those goals and equips us for near- and longer-term needs."
The second answer does not negate the importance of strong components of talent management, but it does align efforts in a holistic and results-based manner. In this article, you will find the answers to four questions:
What is a strategic, role-based talent management system?
Talent management can be approached tactically or strategically. The ultimate goal is to create a high-performing organization for today and tomorrow. A tactical approach to talent management focuses on the processes, systems, and components, while a strategic approach to talent management begins with desired business results. The whole must be more and produce more than the sum of the parts. Here is how the two approaches differ:
A Role-Based TM System
A Traditional TM System
Why is it essential to focus on pivotal roles and competence?
In a strategic, role-based talent management system, the focus is on business goals that are most essential to achieve. That tells you what accomplishments or outputs must be produced to be successful. An accomplishment is a deliverable or output of value that, when produced, contributes to the achievement of business results.
A results-focused strategic talent management system is role centric. The term role refers to people who produce a common set of accomplishments. Individuals in the same role may not share a common job, but they do wear a common "hat." Examples of roles are: first-line supervisor, sales representative, account manager, customer service representative, and maintenance technician.
Every organization has some roles with outputs that are more important to the strategic direction. Pivotal roles typically represent no more than 20 percent of all roles. In "A Players or A Positions?: The Strategic Logic of Workforce Management" by Mark Huselid, Richard Beatty, and Brian Becker in the December 2005 Harvard Business Review, the authors presented a highly effective yet rare approach to talent management: prioritizing positions and setting up those positions for success.
Which roles are pivotal depends on the organization's strategy and goals. For example, to increase revenue and grow market share, a high-tech company must introduce new products and increase sales. Key roles for delivering those results are product development engineer and account manager. Project managers are also a pivotal role because projects must be completed on time and within budget. So the successful completion of projects on time and within budget would be defined as a major accomplishment.
In a role-based talent management system, the focus is on producing competence. Performance may be enabled by competencies (knowledge, skills, attributes), which are indicators of potential, but the desired outcome of performance is competence—the translation of potential into results. For example, a brand manager may require the competency of business acumen, but a brand strategy that differentiates the product is the desired result that demonstrates competence. Can you imagine a brand manager with the right competencies who isn't competent? Of course, you can.
In addition, competencies typically are drawn from existing competency lists and represent the collective wisdom of stakeholders to forecast characteristics required for the future. An accomplishment-based approach is concerned with the outputs of value required for success for today and tomorrow.
How do we set up those in pivotal roles for success?
We design those roles by harnessing best practices from exemplary performers. In any job or role, a subset of people—typically 5 percent—outproduces the rest. The difference between what stars produce and what typical performers produce is vast. The McKinsey War for Talent study showed "A" players grew revenue by 52 percent; "B" players grew revenue by 4 percent; and "C" players shrunk revenue by 15 percent. In higher complexity work, the difference between star and average performers is greatest.
Most organizations do not recognize the magnitude of difference between star and typical performers and do not see that their high-yield practices can be replicated and the work environment designed to support higher performance for everyone.
Through targeted interviews, observations, and process and document reviews, we can learn stars' accomplishments and the behaviors or tasks that produce them, as well as their success measures. Stars often rely on leading indicators aligned to producing business results rather than activity measures. Further, these measures are rarely ones the organization tracks.
By mining practices of exemplars, we learn mental models or ways of thinking and critical accomplishments and the steps to take to produce them. We also discover decision criteria, triggers, and the resources and tools they have created to help them achieve. These elements enable us to design the talent management system and the work environment to support success.
Does role-based talent management really work?
The figure in the downloadable PDF below defines success for role-based talent management. The horizontal axis represents outputs produced by an individual, role, or team. Success is obtaining more outputs per unit of input. We have seen consistent improvement in this measure across multiple clients in various industries for scores of roles.
At the role level, in one large software company, a key differentiator in large, complex sales was the quality, alignment, and timeliness of proofs of concept (PoCs) produced by the technical member of the sales team. By using this approach, the client was able to coach people in these technical sales roles to:
In a leading high-technology company, this approach meets employees' and management's needs. They select effectively because the foundation for interviewing is the accomplishment-based role profile. Ramp-up time has been reduced from nine months to 90 days because the focus is on how to produce valued results in context. Assessment and development are linked to what is required to produce results in this role currently and with the organization's future strategic direction. Performance management is transparent as the accomplishments are well understood and supported, and the work environment is designed to support optimal results. Employee satisfaction and engagement also have improved in a statistically significant way.
In the end, whether you are just beginning to design your talent management system or want to revise an existing one, a role-based approach is a practical way to provide lasting value.

The Benefits of Suspension Training
Are you familiar with suspension training? It's not a new idea, but it's been a growing trend over the past couple of years. It's a fun way to change up an old routine. More importantly, though, it's very effective for building strength, and increasing your flexibility and balance. So, what is suspension training and how does it work? The training involves straps hanging from one or more anchor points, such as a door or beam. The straps have handles on the end for grasping while performing various movements and exercises. The system uses gravity and one's own body weight for resistance. There are many benefits to suspension training. Here are some of the top reasons why you'll want to give it a try: Core Strengthening – The core muscles are engaged in every exercise, increasing your strength and balance. This kind of training allows for greater ease in all your daily activities. Variety – Suspension training doesn't just work for one or two exercises. There are hundreds that you can perform with just one device to give you a full body workout. Since you're using so many muscles at once, you can be finished in only 30 minutes. Portability – The straps are very light and can be taken almost anywhere. All you need is a secure place to serve as an anchor. That means you can even attach the system to a tree and take your workout outdoors on a nice day. There are no heavy attachments or accessories to have to keep switching back and forth. It's even possible to bring along while traveling. Adaptable – It's great for athletes, no matter the age or experience level. Movements can be easily adjusted to meet one's degree of difficulty. Whether you're looking for something extremely challenging or beginning level exercises, suspension training can accommodate you. It's even beneficial for rehabilitation. If you're interested in what suspension training has to offer, there are some great devices available. The Lifeline Jungle Gym XT is an affordable and effective option. As always, we recommend discussing any new fitness programs with your doctor.
The Icon indicates FREE SHIPPING on treadmills, ellipticals and crosstrainers, exercise bikes, rowing machines, benches and strength training equipment.

If you think cruel steel-jaw traps used to snare animals are a thing of the past, think again. Animal protection group Born Free USA just released the results of its undercover investigation of professional and recreational wildlife trapping in the U.S. The horrific video footage shows how animals trapped for their fur suffer, sometimes for days, before dying.
A bobcat is caught in a leghold trap in New Mexico.© Born Free USA / Respect for Animals
The trapper kills the red fox by crushing the fox's chest and lungs with his foot in Pennsylvania in January 2011. The fox is restrained by a catch pole. © Born Free USA / Respect for Animals
The widely used steel-jaw traps crush animals' limbs and are so painful that animals sometimes mutilate their own bodies in an attempt to free themselves. Another trap, the Conibear, crushes animals' necks and chests, taking three to eight minutes to suffocate them. Animals caught in traps that are set underwater take up to nine agonizing minutes to drown. And the target animals aren't the only ones who get caught in these traps. Born Free USA estimates that one in three victims are other animals, including many homeless or lost dogs and cats.
Born Free's executive vice president, Adam Roberts, says, "Commercial fur trapping dates back to the 1600s and has hardly changed. It remains barbaric and most people are not even aware that this is going on in most of the U.S." Even though more than 80 countries and some U.S. states have banned steel-jaw traps, they are still legal in most of the country. What are we waiting for?
The only way not to support the fur-trapping industry is to refuse to buy any item containing fur. Please sign PETA's Pledge to Be Fur-Free today. And if you've ever even considered wearing animal fur, this video is for you.
