The Sun and the Wind: Ancient Wisdom for Today's Entrepreneurs
There's a fable by the ancient Greek storyteller, Aesop, about "The Sun and the Wind" that offers a powerful lesson for today's entrepreneurs. And it goes something like this.
As the Sun and the Wind were debating over who was the stronger force, the Sun noticed a traveler walking along the road below them, which gave him an idea for how to settle the matter once and for all.
He pointed to the traveler and offered this proposal to the Wind: "Whichever one of us can get that man to take off his jacket will be considered the stronger force."
The Wind agreed and went first. But as he put his power on full display, something very interesting happened. While the Wind's strength grew, so did the traveler's resistance. Instead of getting him to take off his jacket, the Wind's force caused the man to cling to his coat even tighter, refusing to let it go, until eventually, the Wind gave up.
Then it was the Sun's turn. He emerged from behind the clouds and quietly focused his heat on the man. At first, nothing appeared to be happening. But then a drop of sweat trickled down the man's forehead. And then another and another, until the traveler was sweating profusely. A few seconds later, he willingly took off his coat.
So, what's the lesson here for entrepreneurs?
When it comes to working with people—employees, customers, investors, and suppliers—the subtle art of influence is more powerful than direct force.
And storytelling is the ultimate tool for gaining influence with the key audiences you want to reach.
Think about it. When you propose a new initiative that could bring big changes to your company, you'll inevitably encounter employees who don't want that change to happen. They may not say it aloud, but they'll be working behind the scenes to undermine your efforts—especially if you lead like the Wind.
That's because if stakeholders feel like change is being forced upon them, they'll respond like the traveler resisting the Wind, as they cling tighter to their proverbial jackets, with their minds closed to any opportunities the change could bring to them and the company as a whole.
Instead, be the Sun. Get your employees to willingly—and, perhaps, enthusiastically—join you on the journey.
Tell a story about how you and your leadership team arrived at your decision—the challenges you were wrestling with and what the stakes would be if you didn't act. Be candid about the potential pitfalls that lie ahead. But also reaffirm your deep-down belief in the team that they can all rise to the challenge if everyone works together. Perhaps, you could share a story about another company that experienced similar adversity but has made it through to the other side with a strategy like the one you're proposing. Then give your employees a vision as to why the change you're proposing is vital to their success.
The Bottom Line
If you take the "this is what we're doing so get over it" approach, exemplified by the Wind, you can expect your team to push back.
But when you tell a story that rallies your employees around your vision—and gives them a glimpse into the role they're playing in that story—you're leading like the Sun. You're using the "warmth" of influence to motivate your team to work alongside you—not against you—to ensure your change initiative is a success.

SLS Adds to South Florida
Hallandale Beach to take over historic golf resort
On the heels of AccorHotels' acquisition of a 50% stake in sbe, the company announces its 12th resort and fourth SLS-branded property in South Florida.
The SLS Resort Residence & Marina Hallandale Beach, developed in partnership with PPG Development and its principal Ari Pearl, is set to open in 2022 and will take over the site of the former Diplomat Golf & Tennis Club with additional new construction. The resort will comprise 290 hotel rooms including 50 condo/hotel units. Also included are 250 branded apartments, the Katsuya and S Bar food and beverage concepts, a mixology lounge and a three-meal restaurant.
The original property at the site opened in 1958, and was the only hotel between Miami and Fort Lauderdale during its heyday. sbe will invest $220 million into the resort, which will also include an 18-hole championship golf course designed by pro-golfer Greg Norman, a 10-court tennis complex and a 48-slip Marina.
The SLS in Hallandale Beach will be the seventh overall property for the brand, and there are 25 more in the pipeline. sbe's residential platform has sold 1,300 branded units to date valued at $2 billion, with an additional $1.8 billion in the pipeline.

I saw a lot of people today. One person looked sad, a second person used a wheelchair, and another person was dressed very much like me. I thought about the variety of people and – because of the work I've done since 1996 – the varieties of loss, relationship hurts, pain, traumas, etc. they have experienced. I felt a warmth inside for them. I want to help as many people as possible in my lifetime.
My name is Ephraim Chaim. I am a person licensed as a professional counselor. I have learned from the 1,000+ families, couples, children and adults with whom I have helped along their journey, that there is a basic recipe for therapeutic success. Usually, it's great connection with my clients, facilitating their self awareness so they can choose the goals and healing that's right for them, my self care, and my professional preparation such as advanced training in EMDR and other modalities that innumerable survivors have used over decades to accomplish their health and happiness goals.
Question: At the end of your life, do you expect your present health and relationship habits to bring you joy?
If the answer isn't a resounding yes, please contact me ASAP.
Ephraim is licensed as a professional counselor, and has worked as a family psychotherapist since 1996. He earned a Master's degree from the University of North Texas in Counseling and studied under the world famous play therapist Dr. Garry Landreth. He primarily used trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy and child parent relationship therapy groups to help children and families affected by domestic violence, abuse, depression and addiction issues.
After Ephraim served as an Air Force officer in various behavioral scientist positions, he returned to graduate school to complete Marriage and Family Therapy training. After working with families struggling with trauma, relationship hurts, and unresolved childhood issues, Ephraim came to Israel to study advanced trauma treatment – EMDR – under Drs. Dani Khan and Gary Quinn. He has experienced phenomenal results with EMDR and specializes in child and adult trauma and relationship issues. Yet, Ephraim emphasizes in his private practice that his role is to support the client in choosing their path, and rapport is more important than the therapeutic modality for clients pursuing the health and happiness goals they identify.

Kerry terms Modi 'visionary premier'
GANDHINAGAR: America's top diplomat John Kerry on Sunday met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, praising the man once banned by the US as a "visionary" poised to transform India's economy.
The talks in Mr Modi's 'fiefdom' of Gujarat came just two weeks before US President Barack Obama will be guest of honour at India's January 26 Republic Day celebrations — in what will be an unprecedented second visit to India by a sitting US president.
Also read:Kerry's visit
Mr Kerry and Mr Modi met on the sidelines of a major trade summit in the state capital Gandhinagar aimed at attracting global investment to the western state — a model which the Indian leader hopes to use to boost the nation's economy.
India planning to take quantum leap, says prime minister
Addressing the summit earlier on Sunday, Mr Kerry told hundreds of participants that bilateral trade between the two economic giants had grown nearly fivefold since 2000.
Bilateral foreign direct investment now stood at nearly $30 billion, he said, describing Mr Modi as a "visionary prime minister".
"Together, we can create an environment where all of our companies play leading roles in bringing cutting-edge technologies, equipment, capital, and know-how not just to India but to countless countries that need this growth and development now," Mr Kerry said.
Mr Modi pledged to the conference to slash red tape and banish India's reputation as a hard place to do business. "My government is committed to create a policy environment that is predictable, transparent and fair," he said.
"The process of development we are taking up is not incremental. We are planning to take a quantum leap. It is not limited to one sector or region, it is truly unlimited," Mr Modi remarked.
A senior State Department official said the Indian premier was already being true to his word, by removing barriers, helping "to make the business climate better for Indian businesses (and) are also going to help US businesses". "They're going to help India take its place in the global supply chain," the official said.
But the official acknowledged that some of the hardest and thorniest issues — such as on civilian liability for nuclear energy cooperation — had yet to be resolved.
India and the US, which have had bumpy relations at times, struck a landmark civilian nuclear deal in 2008. But US companies have been reluctant to get to work in India as they are seeking greater protection from liability in the event of a nuclear disaster.
The issue is sensitive in India, where thousands died in 1984 in a leak from a US-owned pesticide factory in Bhopal.
Washington is also keen to move into India's expanding solar energy programme, but is running into hurdles over New Delhi's insistence that all parts for such projects should be made in India.
Negotiators were "rolling up their sleeves" with the aim of reaching some "tangible" deals including on climate change to unveil during Mr Obama's visit, the official said.

Don't trust the American diplomats!
Pakistan should catch up before it's too late, we have to choose between Kashmir or Rest of the Pakistan.
whatever people term him,modi is a no nonsense business friendly prime minister. India require such a leader at this juncture of growth.As a country of myriad cultures,religions and geography, it is a herculean task to streamline the economic pathway.
Abhi toh party shuru huhi hai.....
Going in Right Direction... Keep going and prove your worth.
India needs Growth and peace. Good Relationship with US and all other countries will be the primary interest of India. this will ensure, we don't have any dependency and we have choices and we have other countries relying on us.
Irony of life! How US bows down to the people's mandate. Really looking forward to huge influx of make in India initiative.
No doubt, US knows who is next super power...
Kashmir is our jugular vein and we shall have it, even if we are left without Balochistan and Sind
Now he is talking
Some interesting economic comparisons based on nominal GDPs of year 2014 :
(1) Just one American State of California, has a GDP of $ 2.4 trillion, which is more than the GDP of whole of India - $ 2.1 trillion.
(2) Just one Indian State of Maharashtra, has a GDP of $ 255 billion, which is more than the GDP of whole of Pakistan - $ 230 billion.
Mr. Kerry are you hypocrite, don't you see Gujarat killings?
Love him or hate him, this Modi guy is way smarter than any of his predecessors. Pakistan leadership should learn from him.
India has come a long way in the last two decades. Every time I visit India, I am impressed by the noticeable changes in infrastructure, better roads, improved accessible technology, better security and facilities at the airports, banks, institutions and as such. Most Indians are very hardworking and ambitious people. With Modi as premier, at least now we want Indian policies to be more business friendly for foreign investors. "Manufactured in India" may be a distant goal as China has already established itself worldwide. With the growth of Indian companies and the increasing number of Indians in US, increased bilateral trade between the two countries is a very realistic and inevitable goal.
"The talks in Mr Modi's 'fiefdom' of Gujarat came just two weeks before..." Fiefdom? Fiefdom? That couldn't be a word for the agencies, could it? Or, is it an insertion by the subeditor? Yes, Modi ruled Gujarat as a toughman and I personally suspect he is complicit in the killing of a lot of Muslims. But, inserting a word like fiefdom in copy culled from agencies in not good journalistic practice, in my opinion.
By the way, a majority of the thousands who died in the Union carbide gas leak in Bhopal are Muslims. If Modi wants and is the fascist he is suspected of being, he could be very malleable on the (nuclear plant) liability conditions with the Americans. Let's wait and watch....
It is all about capitalism and not about morality or ethics. That is why a persona non grata from yesterday, Modi, has now become a visionary. Go figure.
Real Heart Burn statements for Pakistan. Modi is not a visionary!
NaMo NaMo.... no one can doubt his integrity.... and patriotism.
God bless NaMo.. India will rise again ...
Compete !!!!
Modi is quickly making him self a world leader. Just in 6 months he met almost every big premium including Russia, China,US, Australia, UK, Israel, Germany, France, Japan, SAARC, UAE etc.
From a persona non grata to a visionary.
What changed?
Its all about business.
US policy apparently has not changed. It was used to be that dictators/extremist/terrorist were US friends before they were US enemies now it is the opposite.
Indians do like Modi a lot!
No doubt Modi transformed Gujrat and now he is going to transform India.
...Modi is "missionary PM" for sure... :)
We love Modi ji, after a long time India got a real leader..
Just Lol and Alas! At the same time. This is the best interests of the states in which our politicians lacking seriously.
A picture speaks a thousand word!
@NN LOL! Well, Kerry also plonked a medal on Gen Raheel Sharif's chest. It's his job. Relax.
At one time, he was not allowed to come to U.S.A. because of his terrorism act in Gujrat. Now he has become a "visionary" man poised to transform India's economy. How the opinion changes.
Don't worry he will also bring some lollipop's to Pakistan soon.Pakistani's will get enough time to be happy till 25 Jan.
While Pakistan is stuck in Modi's past, the world has found him a visionary and global leader. Pakistan needs to change its mindset about Modi as well as abandon hostile policy towards India which would surely bring peace and prosperity to both countries.
Kerry is dumber than we thought.
Could be Kerry does not know about the Gujrat Riots, Where 2000 Muslims were killed. Maybe he never heard of the Hindutva philosophy. Or Hindustan is for hindus only. Or Babri mosque. Or the reign of terror in Bharati Kashmir. Or RSS. Or BJP [reincarnated toxic RSS] Could be he missed a lot of things.
The people of India do not take Kerry seriously ... a character with no integrity, he is saying what the people of India would like to hear ... and when in Pakistan he will sing a different tune ...
Chameleons to the bone.
Modi is great visionary leader making big gains for india . Pakistan has to catchup fast.
What's not reported is announcement of rs 100000 crore investment by a Indian company
we as a nation are looking forward to the friendship of world oldest and world largest democracies
When is he coming to Pakistan?
A prime minister who has no belong ins to mention, gives away his salary in charity, shuns luxury, works over 18 hours a day has nothing to grind, a patriot to the core should be an example in the subcontinent teaming with poor and thecdeprived.
I wish both countries mutually beneficial relationships. Both countries have the enormous potential to give the World the best of everything.
Visionary!! Seriously??
It is all about the mandi of 1.2 billion people.
@Vic After terrorists leave pak
@excalibur Chameleons are our best friend.
@Abdul Rehman, U.S.A. Dear there was a terrorist attack sponsored by outsiders on godhra train. and what happened afterwards was response by common people just like peshawar. Nothing to do with modi. For gods sake study something before blaming anyone.
India with its large middle class which continues to grow, is a large market for the US and therefore important to the US policy makers. Kerry is only doing whatever is best for his country
Good for India or US on this latest discovery regarding Mr Modi!! Why in the world Pakistan has to care.
@hyat Dont you see shia's being massacred ,hindus being eliminated , ahmedias being labelled non-muslims and eliminated .
@Shubs . Not only Kerry. high level delegates from 100 contries attended.. Even PAk favourate Ban ki moon attened and addressed.
After banning him from the US and calling him a terrorist, Kerry is now kowtowing to Modi.
@Haroon Al-Rashid nonsense
@hyat brother, it is so called national interest, and usa has proved again that it can shake hands with killers & those who were banned to visit usa. that is why i hate national interest policy
With targeted business of $500 billion, that is half a trilion dollars with USA alone? That is huge. That will be Twice our entire economy. Remember its just with USA. Now extrapolate that to all other countries that India does business with. Its Mind-boggling.
In next 5 yrs even Pakistanis will be eager to vote for Mr Modi.
India is just tailing behind US to have nuclear deal from them. If that is the case United States should offer Pakistan a civilian nuclear deal as a way to protect the relationship, relentlessly tested during the last decade, as well as to secure long-term interests with regard to containing militancy and atomic safety.
Money talks... all else walks. Its pure business interest of the nation! That's the reality. India and US have commercial interest and come what may this can easily make them forget each other's flaws. China being our so called best friend, has greater trade volume with India than us. So we as Pakistani's need to stop complaining and get our house in order.
Sure Modi is turning out to be a good leader. Looks like he has a long term vision for India. I think Pakistani leaders should learn from him. Development is extremely important for Pakistan and entire South Asian region. With each passing year the economic difference between India and Pakistan will keep on increasing.
This is called Dynamism. Nothing is permanent. There is no blind friendship, it is always strategic. Both the sides should extract the maximum benefits from each other. And Modi knows it very well. So chances are he may succeed.
We so love our PM Modi... True son of soil .... and for all Pakistanis.. please don't sow solidarity with Indian Muslims... we are here for them.. and believe us or not we are their real brothers .. they don't relate with you nor do they associate with you... given a chance they will be the first to abuse you cause Pakistan's creation has always put a question mark on their patriotism ... And yes they are not Palentine either .. they are strong, independent Muslims... Indian Muslims!!!!!!
Once Churchill termed Hitler visionary too.
When was the last time any of the states in pakistan had 24/7 electricity 365 days? Can't remember? Well, Gujarat has had that for the last so many years. And, that could be accomplished only because of Modi's vision. This should answer commentators here who are feeling uncomfortable with Modi being called 'Visionary'.
As for riots back then, Indian Supreme Court clearly said there is not an iota of evidence to implicate him. You can safely trust Indian courts because these are the courts which sent current and ex-chief ministers behind the bars like Lalu, Jayalalitha etc. Did any pakistani court ever sent let alone current chief minister, an ex-CM behind the bars? There lies the difference.
Comments show, Pakistan envy, India's development, will be way ahead.
@Hasnain : A correction: All who died in Bhopal were "Indian". Period. I am amazed to see how some people can see "colours" even in a tragedy which was purely an "Industrial Accident" and not a political conspiracy. Come out of your age old thinking if you aspire to live in a peaceful world.
Each and every country giving importance to Bharat and Modiji. The whole world recognize the importance of rising super power except one or two notorious and negative nations.
I cannot help but feel for Manmohan Singh. He is the architect in chief of India's turnaround.
The fruits are being enjoyed by BJP.
Good that opposition parties of India portrayed Modi as pro hindu (right term would be nationalist, which is more religion neutral). This helped him rein in right wing factional parties like VHP (Vishwa Hindu Parishad, who were a menace at the time of Congress rule in Gujrat, which Congress cannot do any thing about). To the lesser know, during his chief minister ship in Gujrat he got close to 28000 temples razed (in 13 years time frame) or displaced to make way for industries and infrastructure. Most of them were nothing more than land grabbing mechanisms rather than place of worship, thus garnering peoples support in their demolition. Opposition or VHP could not play politics over demolitions using religion card because he was branded as Hindu nationalist.
Now coming to the most infamous incident, i.e. riots which killed few thousand people, around 40% were Hindus mostly shot dead by Police to contain riots (which no opposition party will let know since it wont serve their purpose). He reached out to chief ministers of Rajasthan and MP at that time (both ruled by Congress) for help to contain the riots, and both denied him any help. That is the reason numerous SITs formed during Congress with a bias to implicate him on flimsiest ground had to give him clean chit every time.
Branding Modi as Hindu nationalist was the largest mistake that opposition parties did, they literally shot themselves on their own foot and it is only now that they are realizing this mistake, when it is too late.
One has to appreciate Americas foreign policy, that furthers its geo political strategy. Even though it backfires most of the time they still persist ........as long as fortress America is safe.
Personally I never liked Modi but given the nature of diversity and grass root democracy in India, it needed a strong powerful leader who could take tough decisions and make India march forward. He is a big Feku and blabbers alot but still things are moving slowly not at the speed of his talks.
@Kaghan wala, Too bad Kerry and world leaders does not have tunnel vision like you.
@rana nasir FYI exports of India are more than imports from US. Also India is capable of exporting hi-tech products to US. Unlike Pak India's export don't depend on mungfallis or bedsheets.
@Faisal Bajwa Show me 1 reference of that, otherwise stop spreading hate.
@Faisal Bajwa Hitler was also visionary but with a deranged mind to gain absolute power, killing 11 million people and got the tag of a mad visionary. Whereas, Modi has been called a visionary by many world leaders including Obama for his dream to make India an economic powerhouse of the world and also development agenda for 125 crores people of India.
@Simran Kaur California and India have a vast difference in population. Mahrashtra and Pakistan are closer in terms of populations. Always better to compare properly.
@Khan Modi is good leader ??? who direct barge of shelling on Pakistani border killing dozens ??
@shezad: Manmohan was a middling economist with a visionary PM at the time - Narasimha Rao (who hasn't got his due credit till date). India under UPA1 headed by Manmohan Singh enjoyed the fruits of the previous NDA governments's policies and legwork. UPA2 was a disaster for India because of the effects of UPA 1&2's policies, corruption and sheer arrogance of power of the 'Con'gress. Pathetic Manmohan was a sheer puppet and bystander who compromised national interests and betrayed the nation to stick to his chair.
When money speaks everyone becomes silent. Modi knows that give money in everybody's hand and they will be silent and allow you to rule. Not a wrong thought.
@Jeeshan Its very sincere comment from you. Pakistan should realize now terrorism or development.
@deepak Good relations with all the countries, specially USA except Pakistan, which is next door neighbor.
Continue unprovoked firing on LoC and IB in Kashmir and Sialkot sectors to show the Americans that you want peace????
A good strategy.
Haha... they used to say similar things about the Holy warriors in Afghanistan that they now call terrorists
Asians are figting with each other....India...China...Pakistan...other countries..not to name here. But Now India,China ,Russia and Japan collaborating with each other to transform their respective countries.Pak Politicians will continue to escalate Kashmir issue for their gain. It is now upto mass public who should never comment negatively. Better to enhance peace and prosperity to gain and transform. Remember you are the third generation and realized nothing in last 65 years. Would you still like to continue this or gain and transform your life. My request is to fight terrorism, Poverty, good relations with neiibours.
@Zoab Khan Pakistan news channel quoted him as pakistan friendly now what? ohh jealous about India..
We Indians love Modi... but any Pakistani love Nawaz Sharif???
@shezad Pakistani loves monmohan it means he was not good for India..Modi is best..
A person sitting in India would obviously speak for them and their leader. There might be a difference in the definition of a visionary person with respect to Kerry and rest of the world. A visionary person is not the one who just seek for option which can make its survival possible for the next tenure in government and in order to pursue his goal he would go for making the hegemonic designs to be executed in the region and in his own establishment. A visionary person along with making his international partners happier with him also go for making the basic needs o fits own people fulfilled. He keeps the thing side by side and not to be tilted too much towards one end. The economic reforms or what ever India is achieving in economic sector is somehow being spent on nuclear sector or for military preparations, the social sector remains the same. He is actually not a visionary person rather a aggressive personality who is just trying to made the country follow the old mythology of "Hindutva".
@hyat Pakistan need to leave such bias thinking and foul crying. Otherwise you people will never grow.
India does all the right things and we all the wrong
Can't we have a Modi in pakistan too?
Kerry was Pakistans friend? What went wrong?
@hyat and dont u see decrease of minority in pakistan from 25% in 1947 to 2 % in 2015??
@shezad Dr. Manmohan Singh has been given his due credit as the finance minister who turned around the indian economy ... there is no one doubting that or denying him that ...
@rana nasir 1.2 billiion people not appeared from thin air in 2014. they were there even before Modi.
@wiserneighbour I wouldn't bet on Modi being no nonsense PM for business, in actual fact Modi uses his harsh stance and force to get his own way. Once accused of not doing enough to protect minorities in his old state of Gujrat and banned for travelling to the U.S. and Europe, now becomes a big star all of a sudden.
@Arsalan well said
When two brothers fight, they become great enemies. Tell to yourself, my dear Pak brothers, erase the negative thoughts in mind and be near to us. We always loved you. Forget about Gujrat incident. Muslims in Gujrat learnt not to disturb majority with their deeds, and the results will be also major. Now peace is prevailing in Gujrat. When people react all over the state, A mare 0.1 % police force will hide for their life. Just like in Kashmir floods, the government vanished.
this is heart burning news for true pakistanis
The Americans said good things about Saddam as well. Look where he is now. "Visionary leader". That must be joke of the year.
@Salman Khan...... UAE ??? Really ??? You just slipped it in there uh ?
@Kaghan wala :- He knows it, American did not gave him visa, still Americans will say that as they say about Pakistan as an ally . He knows Indian requires investment and Americans needs job.
it is mutually beneficial at this moment
praising the man once banned by the US as a "visionary".... in the world of politics, it is the interest that counts not the character...Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
@Hasnain Very rational and sensible in first part of your comment. Word ' fiefdom' to a democratically elected leader is a very poor journalism.
That's the problem with us Indians (maybe Pakistanis also) we give too much weightage to what the outside world thinks of us. Americans change color faster than chameleon, the guy who was denied visa is now being hailed a visionary. Am not very pro Modi myself, but am glad he has been vindicated
and just few months this " visionary. Premier" was banned to enter USA
@Jeeshan dude u have to choose right government, we in india did it.
What's new in this. The world has said Modi a man of century in Asia. He is no wonder in India.
@Kaghan wala : Is there an iota of evidence against Modi in Gujarat riots he was found not guilty even when congress was in centre and desperatelywanted to prevent Modi from contesting
Philosophy of hindutva- what's wrong with it?
Hindustan is for Hindus only...let alone Kerry even an Indian like me hasn't heard that!
Babri masjid: There was a temple that was destroyed to build it, and for every Babri masjid there is an Ajmer e Sharif in India...ever heard if it!
What reign of terror are you talking about ...
Regarding RSS have you ever seen RSS folks do public service for all sections of society
Am not claiming indian society is perfect...billion plus people...its an impossibility....but please don't insult intelligence of Pakistanis by making such crude uninformed comments
@Happy True. Indians like Mr Modi a lot. BJP was a Hindu nationalist party and wasn't much in favor. However, Mr Modi rebranded it as a party for development and growth. Today's India cares for development far more than it cares for the religion/Hinduism. Yes, there are crazies for whom religion and Hinduism is important but most people aren't interested in them. When it comes to Gujarat riots, the doubts are still lingering about Modi's involvement. People are divided whether it was any other riot or there was a planning by state. However, Indians are happy with the decision of the court and investigation team's report constituted by his enemy party (Congress). Indians trust their justice system due to innumerable examples of integrity and ability to not get influenced by the rulers (yes, there is a black mark in Shahbano case but that became a huge controversy and was a rare case).
At any rate, Mr Modi is considered to be a messiah and IMO Indians should temper down their expectations. Lets see. Time will tell.
@Jeeshan Well said, Jeeshan. This is the need of the hour.
Need to recall few years back that this very 'visionary premier' had been refused to issue an American visa when this very Mr Modi was CM of Gujrat state. We should get allured with US Kerry sugary statements as its primarily a matter of time and tide. US is famous for changing friends and foes according to the direction of US national interests.
George Washington & Abraham Lincoln must be turning in their graves to know that according to American secretary of state John Kerry "Narendra Modi is a visionary leader" & that he was banned entry in USA because of his role in Gujarat massacre. Mr. Prime Minister Sharif please beware of this gentlemen.
@usman khan love hi or hate him. But can't ignore him
@Arsalan Well said, Arsalan.. Such sane opinions should come up within Pakistan more and more so that country will have a solid voice aloud which will make the rulers change course.
@Omar - Maharashtra population is 115 million with GDP $250billion while Pakistan population 200million with GDP $230billion - 100% difference...
@jay patel you will never come out of dreams , last century has seen great figures, even in india , Gandhi ji , in china Mao , ZA bhutto in Pak, and as far this century ,it has just began, not even two quarters are over. wake up Mr
@Haroon Al-Rashid
Some prophecy, Haroon Al Rashid !!!
There is an interesting video in internet - search for this - "Hans Rosling: Asia's rise -- how and when". It is in the TED website. Climax is interesting. Goldman sachs predicts by 2016 India is going to beat china in growth rate. So, Modi has some visionary thinking...
@Last Word Easier said than done.
@Abdul Rehman, U.S.A. You are right! Its called politics. Lets hope Pakistan get some message from it.But with army in charge I doubt it that it ever will.
@hyat ....He simply sees money....In India he is going to make money, but in Pakistan he has to spend money..That's the difference.
@Arshad : Too much pakistan news propaganda has made you people void of self search and self thinking.
Manmohan Singh as Finance minister did wonders to Indian Economy under the leadership of P.V. Narasimha Rao, But utterly failed as Prime Minister to take it forward, under the duress of Italian waitress Sonia Gandhi.
This failure spurred Indian voters to reject Congress Party and bring Modi to power.
@Jeeshan true n sensible reading.
@Karma Yogi : Wrong! The West does business with anyone who wants to do business from which the West can benefit! The West needs developing economies only because it does not have low-cost producers! Have you seen Tony Blair hug, yes, HUG, Gaddafi?
@Javed : Why does that give you heart burn! modi is in India, and thousands think he is a Visionary! Do you count for anything in the Indian and world spectrum?
@AXH : Exactly whatt part of the world is about morality and ethics more than about capitalism! You are surely a capitalist, if you own private property and wish to leave something valuable like , a little, land/ money, for your kids!
@amin: International enemies and friends keep changing with the times. When are your enemies going to become friends?
@AW: Just as any emissary of any country should do! Kerry is working in his country's best interests! YOU can,too, instead of sabre rattling 24/7!
@Abdul Rehman, U.S.A. : "If you 'make it in India', they will come!" Pakistan can do that ,too!
"No doubt, US knows who is next super power..."
It is China and US is hoping they can delay the inevitable with Modi's help.
@Simran Kaur;
"Just one Indian State of Maharashtra, has a GDP of $ 255 billion, which is more than the GDP of whole of Pakistan - $ 230 billion."
False claim.
@Usman : Pathetic! it's business --NOT charity! Earn it!
@shezad : Give credit where credit is due. Pakistan still has a Gaddafi Stadium! Did nobody tell you about him?
@A shah : USA does not need Pakistan to fight the old Soviet Union (Cold War) and fight for the Western sphere of geo-politcal incluence and supremacy. But it needs trade. USA trades with CHINA whether USA likes China's politics or not! The West can now contain Russia and the game has changed! And, Pakistan is really not on the team! USA has made it clear it wants to from AID to TRADE with Pakistan! Are you ready?
@Akhtar: Pakistan said great things about Musharraff once, look where he is now!
@Simran Kaur and what about the GDP of East Punjab as a comparison, Simran Kaur? Pakistan is today at this stage because of meddling in Afghanistan since 1986 on US's behalf plus the corrupt elite we have here.
@Anjaan you are 200 % right. but we Pakistani also do not trust any American leaders. gen Paul also used to change language in India and Pakistani differently. our enemy no one is US second is Israel the 51 state of US and last enemy is India. Our rulers migrated from India caused more damage to Pakistan. you have honest leaders. Modi is the best one. Allah may give us such leaders too. our leaders land lords beauractic are most rich and deposited their wealth in foreighn banks. in this regard you cannot compete with us. we have more
@Rizwan Lol Bhutto in Pak was a great man. Prob for pakistanis. World need leaders like Gandhi, Sardar Patel, Bhagat Singh. Not like Hafiz saeed, Lakhavi, Mullah Omar and Zaid Hameed.
@Rizwan Gandhi gave a sentence - 'Full Independence is my birth right' and gave the message of truth and non-violence. On the other side, Bhutto said - ' We would eat grass but would make nuclear weapons to destroy India'.
World would like to follow the path of Gandhiji. path of Bhutto would lead a country in poverty and extremism.
@syam well said. Concentrate on development. Pakistan can also transform itself to a well developed state
@Javed He is a visionary because his vision is not fixed on Pakistan and POK only.
Analysis reports from rating agencies and lending institutions across the world are praising the Modi's leadership. According to latest report by WorldBank - India is set to become the fastest-growing big economy in the world in the fourth year of Narendra Modi's government, edging past China. Policy measures Modi is bring in India will start show results from 3rd year of his PMship. It is expected that lakhs of poor people every year, irrespective of religion and sect will be moved out of poverty into middle class, because of policies of Indian government. Before commenting on my comment or this article please read reports from Rating agencies and lending institutions from across world about their future predictions for India and then comment. Also check Kerry's vidoe saying Modi's slogan "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikaas".
It's one hand washing another.Remember, "there is no friendships in politics or between the countries, only self interests.
Trust, but verify.

Crockpot Potato Soup – The ultimate comfort food in a bowl! This simple potato soup takes just 5 minutes of prep and turns out absolutely amazing. Just throw it all in the crockpot and forget it!
During the colder months, I crave all types of creamy and comforting soup recipes. Slow cooker potato soup is often a go-to of mine, as well as broccoli cheddar soup, crockpot white chicken chili, ham and potato soup and chicken pot pie soup.
Easy potato soup
Crockpot potato soup…YUM, that's all I have to say! A few weeks ago, I was in charge of making soup for a church event and I asked my friends what to make. One of my friends recommended this easy potato soup and it did not disappoint. It was so good, so I decided to share it with you guys too!
I adapted a few things, but overall this crockpot potato soup recipe is SO simple to make and super yummy. Just throw it all in a crockpot and you're done. Seriously! You can even serve in a bread bowl for pure comfort food.
I still love my creamy potato and ham soup, but this crockpot potato soup is so easy and is perfect for those lazy days. Mmm… so good. Great to make on a cold, winter day!
What are the ingredients for potato soup?
I love that there aren't a ton of ingredients in this slow cooker potato soup. They are so simple and easy to find!

- Add cream cheese and cheddar cheese and stir. Then cook for 30 more minutes, until cheese is melted.
- Top with desired toppings and enjoy!
Cheesy potato soup
One of my favorite tricks for making a creamy and cheesy potato soup is to grate my own cheddar cheese. It seriously makes a huge difference, and is so easy! Freshly grated cheese makes for a thicker soup, and the consistency turns out perfect. I always grate lots of extra cheese for topping, too. It gets nice and melted on top, and helps to make the easy crockpot potato soup taste extra delicious. YUM!
Toppings for slow cooker potato soup
Below are my favorite toppings to add to crockpot potato soup!
- Shredded cheese

Carlos Slim Foundation in the 3rd. Innovation Week in Health
Year after year, the Mexican Association of Pharmaceutical Research Industries (Asociación Mexicana de Industrias de Investigación Farmacéutica, AMIIF) organizes a forum on health innovation, a space dedicated to analyze the beneficial impact of incorporating and innovating pharmaceutical products. This event also serves for providing tools and most relevant data to make from the health sector an ideal detonator for productivity and competitiveness.
This year AMIIF carried out the 3rd. Innovation Week in Health 2017, under the motto 'Innovate to Grow'. The event was carried out in the facilities of the Medicine Palace of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), in the Historic Center of Mexico City.
Once again, Carlos Slim Foundation (CSF) was invited to participate in the panel called: 'The binomial of health: prevention and care in Mexico'.
In the panel, CSF General Director Dr. Roberto Tapia Conyer addressed issues such as new trends in prevention and health care. "We are facing the fourth industrial revolution, marked by the convergence of digital, physical and biological technologies. These have as a response the use of innovations in the provision of health services, as part of an everyday increasingly reality. It is a phenomenon called digital health," he said
In addition, Dr. Roberto Tapia spoke about the optimization of results' indicators and measures in the public and private sectors, with a focus on the patient, his therapeutic control and the quality of care received. "Before talking about indicators, we must ensure the formation of nominal information systems that follow the person wherever he is, ensuring traceability of interventions at home, community and health unit".
Digital and technological convergence allow having expert systems now a day, which through well-identified algorithms and intervention suggestions, make it easier for health professionals to make decisions.
The panel was moderated by Dr. Julio Sotelo, member of the National Academy of Medicine, and included the participation of Dr. María del Sol García, surgeon physician at '20 de Noviembre' Medical Center; and Dr. Jose Alarcon, partner at Price Waterhouse Coopers.

Brunch: 11am - 3pm every Saturday & Sunday
The Incredible Dr Bob's "Be Nice or Leave" Bloody Mary Bar Every Sunday
Roya & The High Timers is a jazz ensemble based in St. Louis, playing classic jazz from the 1920s and 1930s. Led by recent St. Louis transplant Roya Jamshidpour (vocals) and long time St. Louis resident Dan Conner (drums & washboard), the band aims to realize a period-authentic sound while also providing an experience that is both danceable and sophisticated. Because revitalizing obscure and underplayed jazz music is a goal of the band, Roya & The High Timers set their focus on interpreting the 'diamond-in-the-rough' tunes of the jazz age. Freshly founded in 2017, Roya & The High Timers is hot off the press and presents a distinctive vintage sound for all types of listeners.

Matthew DeBord writes on cars for Slate's Big Money site. He's generally a smart car guy; occasionally I've even stooped to quote him. Well, the man recently claimed that the Toyota Prius has become "the most important car of all time." Yes, he did.
DeBord reasons that over the last ten years, Toyota has totally changed the automobile game, bringing its Prius not only to represent all hybrids (through its market dominance), but creating "a new category of vehicle," shifting us finally away from the internal combustion engine.
That's a big claim for a car with a tiny market share though, indeed, a very vocal cheering section. It's a preposterous claim when you consider the history of hybrids and the fact that they are only important as interim vehicles on the way to fully electrified cars—or maybe hydrogen-powered cars, or maybe—who knows?
Anyway, enter Warren Brown, car columnist seemingly forever for the Washington Post, who still contributes and occasionally blogs at Real Wheels Live, where he went after Matthew. He made the following points, with which I mostly concur:
- Porsche was first with hybrids in 1918-1920, but abandoned the idea.
- In the 1990s "all other car companies" understood gas-electric, but thought of it as an "expensive interim technology" and chose other routes, e.g., hydrogen, clean diesel, and so on.
- Toyota hyped hybrid tech, and the politicians and mass media went for it. Perception became reality as Toyota became "The Green Giant of Autodom" (while still selling scads of gas-guzzling trucks).
- Other companies climbed on the hybrid bandwagon and some, like Ford with its Fusion Hybrid, have even beaten Toyota at its own game.
Point two is simply wrong, Warren. The U.S. companies ceded the field to Toyota for a while because they were still waiting to see which way the new "clean winds" were going to blow. They did not invest in these far-out technologies until GM went with a semi-EV Volt and Nissan hatched its Leaf. Ford is about the only one to push hybrid tech; the rest are going electric.
Which means basically that hybrids are merely a way-station until we get proper electric cars and infrastructure. They will be here for a while, but I can't see how anyone could call the Prius the most important car of all time. Auto time marches on, and radical changes in the car biz are still very much in process. The Prius's dominance seems to be almost over.
Are hybrids here to stay, or are they on the way out? Is the dominance of the Prius over?

In this unit I have learnt how to construct and identify the four different parts of present tenses, namely - Present Simple, Present Continuous, Present Perfect and Present Perfect Continuous, as well as various examples of how to teach these in class. For example: I have been studying. Is the present perfect continuous and is constructed as follows Subject + aux. verb + been + verb + ingThe attitude of the teacher tremendously affects class performance of the students. A cheerful teacher livens up the learning mood of students. A good icebreaking activity also plays a vital role in how well students participate in the classroom. While introducing new terms, it is good to use examples to communicate the meaning rather than trying to explain as it reduces teachers talk time.

In its broadest sense, "delivery" is the process of getting your product or service into customers' hands — a process that takes on familiar tones in the online space, but which is now evolving as the emerging realm of virtual reality takes the stage — bringing with it a range of new considerations.

Happy New Year, 2019!/
Happy New Year!
Into the Hat Cave with Art, Commerce & Wabi-Sabi
2019 has hatched & we are on our way — hopefully not IN our way. There's much work to do (what else is new!); new plans to unfold; the road is stretched out ahead (though the destination is not always clear) and that's part where fresh, unseen adventures are to be had. For me, a lot of the adventure TRAVELING will more metaphysical than actual: now that the "Hat Cave", my home studio, is pretty much up & operational one big goal is to follow up on the notion to do more work with still life and motion capture in the service of both art AND commerce.
So, time to roll up the sleeves and get to work. "The Egg" is Project One. It's an ostrich egg that for decades has been a prized "objet" of mine. Of course, that begs the question as to how & why do I continually find new ways to drop it, break it and, like with Humpty Dumpty, try to put it back together again. This time, though, rather than feel the tragedy I was able to see the opportunity. This ability was revealed to me a few years ago while doing some old-school analog reading (I've always found that I'm much more likely to find something interesting to learn simply by turning a page in a newspaper than is the case when flipping thru digital news feeds where we are spoon-fed whatever some algorithm determines we'll be interested in.) In this instance, I stumbled upon the mention of an author, Leonard Koren, and his series of small books, in particular "WABI-SABI - for Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers" which I proceeded to acquire & read with eye-opening delight. Wabi-Sabi can most easily be correlated to 'patina.' It is the added value brought to something or someone by virtue of the visual physical transformation that occurs over time. Something invisible is added when there's a story that can be seen lurking beneath the surface. And so, the broken egg became a story and a photograph because sometimes the broken thing is more interesting than the perfect thing.
Okay, now where's the glue?

Will 'Longmire' Return For Season 6? Netflix Doesn't Let Shows Go Often
Longmire was once on A&E, but a surprise cancellation almost brought the series to an untimely end. But after its cancellation, it was picked up by Netflix. As of September, Netflix has yet to announce whether or not Longmire will return for Season 6. But, since it's extremely rare to hear of a Netflix cancellation — even when it comes to shows it has saved from coming to an end on other networks — chances are pretty good that there will be more Longmire coming up soon. Also, Netflix's release schedule is pretty regular, so if there is a sixth season for Longmire, it should arrive in early fall 2017 — just like this one.
This mystery novel-inspired series isn't the only one that's been picked up by Netflix and been allowed to continue for more seasons. In some ways, Netflix has kind of become the Robin Hood of the cable TV world — except there's no actual stealing involved. Rather, Netflix often swoops in and saves the day when network TV shows get cancelled, and it has become a home for shows that are beloved but not always critically or commercially successful giants — like Longmire. And, while you're waiting for Longmire to return, you can catch up on these other streamable shows.
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
When this series was passed over by NBC, Netflix decided to pick it up, and I think the dense, joke-laden viewing experience was made even better without commercials or the need to stay totally network-friendly. That opened up the chance to make Season 2 surprisingly serialized and give the hilarious comedy a truly dark underside about the psychological damage caused by Kimmy's imprisonment in the bunker.
The Killing
After its first season really botched the landing, a lot of mystery fans were ready to write off The Killing. But, the series was resurrected by Netflix and went on to get the chance to wrap things up where it ended on its own terms.
Black Mirror
The British show is now making Netflix-exclusive episodes, bringing the upcoming season to American audiences without a year delay.
Gilmore Girls
Amy Sherman-Palladino didn't get to work on Gilmore Girls Season 7 or give it the ending she'd intended. But, now, Netflix is bringing back the series for a brief and welcome return that will allow her to get another shot at these characters.
Fuller House
Okay, so maybe Full House didn't need to be "saved," but it probably wasn't going to be resurrected for a nostalgia-filled reboot by any other network. Season 2 of the series hits Netflix in December.
Halt & Catch Fire
Halt & Catch Fire isn't cancelled like the rest of the shows on this list — it actually is airing its third season on AMC right now (and you should check it out if you love the '80s, big ol' computers, and women kicking ass at work). However, I feel that if not for Netflix's relationship with AMC, this show could have gone the way of Low Winter Sun, after a boring premiere and slow first few episodes. But, because of the marathon model, the series could find an audience on Netflix in the offseason, and now the series has fully delivered on its early promise.
Many Others
What will be the next series rescued by Netflix? Who knows, but now, when people's favorite shows get axed, they get a little bit of hope about the show possibly finding a new home and maybe, if they're particularly lucky, new creative heights. Longmire is just one of many.

Reggie Aggarwal
Reggie Aggarwal is the CEO and Founder of Cvent, the leader in meetings, events and hospitality software. A lawyer by trade, Aggarwal founded Cvent in 1999 as a two-person startup, with the goal of making meeting planning easier for his peers in the business community.
The Cvent business idea first came to light after Aggarwal spent years painstakingly planning hundreds of events for the Indian CEO Network of which he was president. Aggarwal found early success as a pioneer in the event technology space but had to lay off nearly 80% of his employees during the dot-com burst in the early 2000s. During this time, approaching bankruptcy and facing the possibility of failure, Aggarwal and the core executive team focused on the two things that mattered most for a successful business: their employees and their customers.
Driven by the desire to transform the meetings and events industry, Cvent has grown to over 4,000 employees on 4 continents under Aggarwal's leadership, and the 2013 IPO boasted a market capitalization of more than $1 billion. In 2016, Cvent was taken private by Vista Equity Partners for $1.65 billion, providing a 70% premium for Cvent stockholders.
Cvent is now a leading meetings, events, and hospitality management technology provider, serving more than 27,000 customers and 300,000 users worldwide with the solutions organizations need to automate and simplify the entire event planning process and maximize the impact of their meetings program. The Cvent Hospitality Cloud partners with hotels and venues to help them drive group and corporate travel business.
Aggarwal graduated with a BS degree from the University of Virginia, a Juris Doctorate from Washington and Lee University Law School, and an LLM (post-law degree) from Georgetown University Law School. He has also received an Honorary Doctorate from Southeastern University for his contribution to the community.
Aggarwal has received numerous recognitions and accolades, including the #1 Top SaaS CEO, Most Admired CEO by the Washington Business Journal, Entrepreneur of the Year by Ernst & Young, a rising star by Forbes Magazine, and a Tech Titan by The Washingtonian.
Aggarwal lives in Northern Virginia with his wife and three children.

This month we've been "going back to basics" with our community of practice emails.
In Part 1, we talked about submitting larger photos and shorter text. Part 2 focused on pre-designs and attachments. Part 3 was a reminder that all text should go in the text box and not be submitted via Excel spreadsheet, word document, photos of fliers, etc.
In our final installment we will share tips on submitting timely e-signs that will help you get the best results from the message.
Best Practice, Part 4: Submitting timely e-signs
What we mean by "timely" is submissions that are received early enough to be designed and posted so employees can take actions. For example, if there will be a blood drive at your site, it's a good idea to let your employees know at least a week in advance. Submitting an e-sign the week of or even the day before the event makes it difficult for anyone to prepare. The same goes for celebration meals, shoe trucks, scheduled shutdowns, etc.
Submitting e-signs on time also makes sure employees don't feel like an afterthought. Set a reminder to submit birthday and anniversary e-signs a few days before the new month begins. When employees see their birthday e-sign after the day has passed, they may feel unimportant.
Sometimes last minute messages pop up. We understand. If you need an urgent message posted at your location, please submit your e-sign through the system and send an email so we'll know to be looking for it.
E-sign of the Week
This week's E-sign of the Week is from Maria Shinsato at our Ontario facility. Thank you for reminding us all of February's safety topic!
Last Week's Top Submitters!
Karen Palomo: 25
Kathy Warner: 18
Connie Nambo: 15
Leticia Olvera: 14
Trish Canada: 13
Sandra Maldonado: 12
February 20 - February 26
Our e-sign channel provides a unique opportunity to communicate with employees consistently and efficiently. We hope you'll partner with us by submitting compelling content for your e-signs, providing feedback on the system and helping us continually develop this community of practice. If someone at your site is currently submitting e-signs but is not on this list, please let us know so we can add them.
