The clocks seem to tick slower in Austria. It's what the high-strung Germans will tell you with a agitated wave of the hand. Indeed, it does seem that time has slowed down, allowing you ample time to inhale the capacious sights this small country in Central Europe offers. The easy going and relaxed nature of the Austrians will make you kick off the hectic and take a step back. You'll want to, because there is no other way to enjoy Austria. And this is particularly the case in Austria's beautiful capital, Vienna.
Vienna is a city of diversified facets – a city where the past and present glide effortlessly between each other, where old seamlessly blends into the new and where traditional art and culture provides a sound basis for contemporary design and creativity. It's a city that will have you in awe as you discover its many facets.
Although I'd been to Austria several times, I never quite made it to Vienna. I lamented often to Tom last year, who spent a few months working on a project there. How I wanted to walk the old cobble streets around the Stephansdom, saunter the courtyards of the Hofburg Palace and indulge in the amazing ambiance of the Naschmarkt. However, the plans we made last year somehow did not pan out. So, I was ecstatic when Tom decided to whisk me off to a spontaneous weekend getaway for two, to Vienna. I was going to Vienna finally.
Vienna is about a six hour drive from Weimar. We left early Friday afternoon and dropping Soeren off at Chez Grandparents on the way, we continued on down south.
Effectively we only had the entire Saturday for our tour through Vienna and we allowed ourselves to tick according to the clocks in Austria. Starting with a long and relaxing big breakfast of eggs, rolls, sausage and preserves we discussed what we wanted to see. Over steaming cups of thick and frothy Wiener Melange we debated the best route to take.
Finally we decided that the best way to get a good overview of the city and its incredible highlights would be to take a short bus tour. Vienna Sightseeing Tours offers a perfect solution with the Hop on Hop off bus tour. The short tour costs €13 and takes you to the most important sights in the city. You'll be able to see the Hofburg, the Museums, the Parliament, the City Hall, the Burgtheater, the University, and the St. Stephan's Cathedral. The buses depart regularly from the State Opera and tickets can be bought directly at the bus stop.

The tour gave us a quick insight on many of the places we wanted to take a closer look at, also enabling us to circle those points on the map for our own walking tour.
The first point of our walking tour was the Stephansdom. The Gothic cathedral towers above the city center, defining the Viennese skyline. Built in 1147 AD this famous Viennese cathedral was at the time, the uncontested highest building in Europe, measuring almost 137 m.
Many art treasures lie within the cathedral and a definitely worth the time. The tomb of Prince Eugene of Savoy (1754), the Altarpiece of Wiener Neustadt, the pulpit by Anton Pilgram (1514-15), the sepulcher of Emperor Frederik III by Niclas Gerhaert (1467-1513), the watchman`s lookout, a self portrait of the sculptor, and the Gothic winged altar can all be viewed inside this impressive cathedral.

Our next destination was the Naschmarkt, with stopovers at a few points of interest en route. Walking down the Kärntner Straße we were able to glimpse into the famous Cafe Sacher: the home to the Original Sacher Torte, along the way. While I was very impressed at being able to step into such a traditional and famous coffee house, remembering my days in the pastry kitchen making the famed Sacher Torte, I was not keen at spending too much time here. It's a tourist attraction and usually always full, so my tip would be to go in have a look and take in the ambience but for coffee and cake there are a many gorgeous little coffee shops dotted all around the city.

As we headed further down the Kärntner Straße we came to our next point of interest the breathtaking Karlskirche situated at one of Vienna's central nodes, the Karlsplatz. The spectacular Baroque church is the biggest cathedral of its kind north of the Alps.
The unusually wide front of this church is composed of a number of contrasting elements which surprisingly adds to the unique and harmonic overall image. Two colums with an allegoric representation of the life of Saint Borromeo are reminiscent of the Italian Renaissance Trajan column. These columns frame the main portal which resembles a Greek temple.

Just a stone's throw away from the Karlskirche is the amazing Naschmarkt and one of the three places I was looking forward to most in Vienna. My photos below probably show my passion for markets and contrary to Tom saying "If you've seen one food market, you've seen them all!", the Naschmarket has been on top of my list for several years.
The Naschmarkt is more than just a regular market: it's very much a Viennese institution, which dates back to the 16th century. During the 19th century Vienna's second river, the Weinfluss was roofed over and a few dealers set up their stalls on top of the roof – the rest, as they say is history.
Today, Naschmarkt is a unique mixture of Austrian traditions fused with oriental influences. One could actually say Viennese shrewdness meets bazaar mentality. You will find pretty much everything the heart desires from exotic fruit and vegetables to delicious pastries, olive oils, meat, fish and other delicacies.
We literally ate our way through the Naschmarket, tasting and testing several products from the eager vendors. Ripe fruit and decadent torrone, spiced tea and warming Thai soup, succulent dates and garlicky bread, our lunch was plentiful and varied!
Lucky for me it was a Saturday and I was delighted to be able to stroll Vienna's major flee market, which is located right next to the Naschmarket and sells anything from junk to antiques. Prop heaven!

I was also delighted to see the fantastic Zotter Schoko Company's incredible shop at the Naschmarkt. Feeling like "Charlie" in the chocolate factory I could not get enough of the extensive chocolate assortment before me. Not only did they have the Labooko bars, the rich drinking chocolate, the balleros and the round MitziBlue bars, but the shop also had a coffee shop where small pastries and chocolate delicacies could be enjoyed over cups of chocolate coffee.

Feeling elated after spending a few hours at the Naschmarkt – and Tom admitting that it was quite a novel experience, we headed towards our next destination: the Museum of Fine Arts and the Hofburg Palace. Both Tom and I were quite excited to experience the exceptional and very extensive artwork gathered by the Habsburgs as they added new territories to their empire.
Numerous major art works of European art history, among them Raphael's Madonna in the Meadow, Vermeer's The Allegory of Painting, Van Dyck's Venus in the Forge of Vulcan, or Peter Paul Rubens's Self-Portrait and Woman with a Cape are all housed in the paintings gallery. The Rembrandt collection includes two remarkable self-portraits as well as a moving portrait of his mother and one of his sons, Titus, while the paintings of Albrecht Dürer, known for his innovative art and his painstakingly detailed workmanship, includes the incredible Blue Madonna.
You'll certainly need time to really enjoy and appreciate these treasures as you discover fantastic highlights at every turn.

Across from the museum is the impressive Hofburg Palace, which was the center of the vast empire of the Habsburg dynasty. The Hasburgs developed this Imperial Palace, once envisioned to be a great "Imperial Forum", from the "Old Palace", dating from the thirteenth century, to the most recent part, dating from the time around 1900. Today, this location houses more than two dozen top museum collections, including the Imperial Apartments, Imperial Treasury, Museum of Ethnography and the Spanish Riding School. In addition to this, there are cafés, restaurants, squares, and parks.

It was time to put up our feet and relax – we deserved it. We wanted to indulge in the typical Viennese coffee house culture, and made our way up the Kohlmarkt headed towards Der Demel.
Hofzuckerbäckerei Demel is one of the more famous and traditional pastry shops and chocolatiers in Vienna. Founded in 1786, it was a purveyor to the Imperial and Royal court of Austria-Hungary and was headed by the Demels until 1972. It is still located in its original building after Christof Demel, moved it to the Kohlmarkt in 1857.
Visitors to the Demel shop can enjoy a luxurious ambient set in the historic salons on the ground floor and indulge in a selection of varied products that have been poured, filled and formed by hand for over 200 years. Classics such as cat tongues, tea scones and the Demel Sacher Torte will entice you to sojourn a little longer.
Tom and I found a quaint table at one of the salons in the back and snuggled into one of the spacious sofas. We selected slices of decadent and rich chocolate truffle cake and naturally, Sacher Torte. The waitress brought the cakes on elegant china and served us steaming cups of delicious and strong coffee. Time ticked slowly and we were enjoying each minute without a care.

Our last stop was the Mozart House before we headed out of Vienna to the wine area.
Although Mozart lived at a dozen different addresses around Vienna, the only apartment that has survived to this day is at Domgasse number 5, not far from the Stephansdom. Here Mozart lived from 1784 till 1787 and his apartment on the first floor was simply grand, with four large rooms, two small ones and a kitchen. The museum occupies an extensive 1,000 square meters on six levels and Tom and I immersed ourselves in the vibrant world of Mozart. With the digital guide we were able to experience his incredible life, be a part of his creativity, music and became acquainted with his family and friends.

Evening was approaching and I had a date with my hot husband. He had planned to give me a wonderfully unique foodie experience.
Vienna is the only metropolis in the world that cultivates wine within its city limits and where best to enjoy the local harvest than at heurige, or one of the local wine taverns? As Tom had spent a few moths in Vienna he knew of a few and had arranged for a table at one of the few that were open at this time of the year.
Heurige first originated from wine farmers who found a way to conveniently purge remaining surplus. By hanging fir tree branches out front, they signaled that the farms were ausg'steckt, i.e. open for business and serving beverages to customers, who brought their own food.
The name heurige is derived from the heurige wines it served, the young wines of this year (heuer in Austrian means this year), most typically Grüne Veltliner. While traditional food at these establishments are cold cuts like ham with dark bread from a help-yourself buffet, nowadays, almost all offer warm food, if not even gourmet cuisine, and the wine selection can be extensive and sophisticated.
The Wannemacher Winery, located in Hagenbrunn just a 30 minute drive from Vienna, produces elegant Rieslings, fruity Sauvignon Blanc and full bodied Traminer and we spent the whole evening testing and tasting. Sur Schnitzel was on our dinner menu with sides of salads and potatoes. Once you have experienced (and actually managed to consume the huge portion) a sur schnitzel you'll forget its more famous counterpart the Wiener Schnitzel. A sur schnitzel is a pork escalope, usually only available at a heurige, which is cured then prepared in the traditional way of coating the meat in breadcrumbs and frying. The curing process adds an exceptional flavor.

Telephone: +43 22 62 67 27 95
Even the slowest of clocks pick up pace and begin ticking faster, reminding us that our wonderful weekend in Vienna was coming to an end. This so called "adult weekend" for Tom and myself was much needed. Being separated during the week and playing the "family" role on the weekends, we needed that time away to remind us of how valuable time for two is. It was almost like a little honeymoon and we came back feeling fresh, invigorated and happy to have each other.
I hope you enjoyed taking this virtual trip to Vienna with me. If you are planning a trip to this lovely city, do take time to plan it out carefully. There is so much to see and do in Vienna and the points of interest in this post were only just a teaser of what Vienna offers. I'd also like to take the opportunity to thank Zita of Zizi Kalandjai for sharing a few of the foodie dos in Vienna.

At the end of the day, it is tougher than a nickel steak to banish from American popular parlance certain phrases such as "at the end of the day."
The word police at Lake Superior State University in Michigan have been trying to strike the phrase from public discourse since 1999. Here are their Banished Words Lists from then and from 2014.
But at the end of the day, forget about it. T he toothpaste is out of the tube.
"English is a very dynamic language," says David F. Beer, a retired writing professor at the University of Texas at Austin, "and parts of it are always growing or dropping off. And we don't have an English Academy as the French do to tell us what is right and what is wrong in the language. Thus cliches such as 'at the end of the day' are to be found all over the language. " Like white on rice.
While some hoary sayings occasionally fall by the wayside — for lots of reasons, such as a rise in social awareness — others will be with us from here to eternity.So when it comes to battling against tenacious cliches, maybe we should just throw up our handsand throw in the towel.
Run For Your Lives
There are those — perhaps with
an ax to grind —who believe in their
hearts and mindsthat we should
run like the windfrom a truism as if it's
a snake in the grass.
Raise the bar, they say, and avoid repeating
the same old same old.
Take the road less traveled. Do your own thing.
"Avoid cliches ... like the plague," , a worldwide group that works to improve communication skills, advises. Tongue-in-cheek,of course.
By definition, the group reports, a cliche "is a trite, commonplace expression — a sentence or a phrase usually conveying a popular or common thought or idea." You could say it's a hackneyed phrase, which itself is a hackneyed phrase.
But the very fact that a word or phrase has become a cliche, "through popular use — and overuse," the report continues, "suggests that the phrase has lost originality and ingenuity and, thus, impact." It's old as the hillsand tired as an ox. Maybe it needs a swift kick.
Or could it be that there has been such a hue and cryagainst cliches — for as long as I can remember — that anti-cliche sentiment has finally run its course?And the cliche can be fashionable once more, the new black. It's like déjà vu all over again.
As a believer that the English language is a living, breathing thing, I think detractors — clicheters? — should take a step back. Hold your horses.Picking on low hanging fruitis easy as pie.
So I am writing like a maniac in defense of cliches. Or at least asking that they be forgiven. In other words: Pardon the expression.
Like The Back Of My Hand
English is like a box of chocolates. Of course, we should think outside the box. But maybe we should also keep delving insidethe box — where some marvelous and useful cliches reside. Cliches can cut through claptrap like a knife through butter. We can use them as a kind of societal shorthand.
There is something so wonderfully familiar about a cliche. A cliche can be as comfortable as an old shoe, as helpful as all get out. A cliche is like a long lost friend, a kissing cousin.And a cliche deserves its moment in the sunbecause, well, every dog has its day.
When it comes to using cliches, sometimes, the feeling is: Better the devil you know than the devil you don't.
"I feel cliches are always going to be around, especially in spoken English," says David Beer, who also wrote A Guide to Writing as an Engineer. "Nothing wrong with them as long as everyone gets their meaning." If you get the drift.
In writing, however, especially more formal or academic writing, the professor says, "they seem to me to show a lack of originality, a tiredness that depends on the tried and true." (He knows it's a cliche.)
Eventually, he says, cliches "will wear out anyway, and new ones will take their place."
It's not rocket science. Just saying.

North Korea Fails in Attempt to Launch Long-Range Missile
North Korea found itself front and center in the international community when it launched a long-range missile Friday morning, local time.
Despite the country's reported efforts, officials in the US claim the launch failed because the rocket broke before leaving the Earth's atmosphere.
After breaking apart, the missile allegedly crashed into the sea.
"Despite the failure of its attempted missile launch, North Korea's provocative action threatens regional security, violates international law and contravenes its own recent commitments," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said in a statement.
Japan backed the United States' claim that the launch did not succeed. The country's defense minister, Naoki Tanaka said, "We have confirmed that a certain flying object has been launched and fell after flying for just over a minute."
If the attempt to launch the missile is indeed true, North Korea could be in serious trouble, with the United Nations Security Council scheduled to meet Friday to discuss the matter.
North Korea's reported launch would mark the third failed attempt since 1998. On two previous occasions the country has claimed it has tried to send a weather satellite into space. Several pundits, however, believe the country is more interested in testing missiles.

The cephalometric X-ray is a unique tool, which enables the dentist to capture a complete radiographic image of the side of the face. X-rays in general offer the dentist a way to view the teeth, jawbone and soft tissues beyond what can be seen with the naked eye. Cephalometric X-rays are extraoral, meaning that no plates or film are inserted inside the mouth. Cephalometric and panoramic X-rays display the nasal and sinus passages, which are missed by intraoral bitewing X-rays.
Cephalometric X-rays are usually taken with a panoramic X-ray machine. The adapted machine will have a special cephalometric film holder mounted on a mechanical arm. An X-ray image receptor is exposed to ionizing radiation in order to provide the dentist with pictures of the entire oral structure. The advantage of both cephalometric and panoramic X-rays is that the body is exposed to less radiation.
Cephalometric X-rays are not as common as "full sets" or bitewing X-rays, but they serve several important functions:
How are cephalometric X-rays taken?
Cephalometric X-rays are completely painless. The head is placed between the mechanical rotating arm and the film holder, which is placed on another arm. The arm rotates around the head capturing images of the face, mouth and teeth. The clarity and sharpness of these images will depend on the positioning of the body. The images are usually magnified up to 30%, so any signs of decay, disease or injury can be seen and treated.
After capturing cephalometric X-rays, the dentist will be able to see a complete side profile of the head. This can assist in orthodontic planning, and allow an immediate evaluation of how braces might impact the facial profile and teeth. Another common use for this type of X-ray is to determine specific measurements prior to the creation and placement of dental implants.
If you have any questions or concerns about cephalometric X-rays, please ask your dentist.

Despite the wave of privatization across developing markets in the 1980s and '90s, state-owned enterprises continue to control vast swaths of national GDP: more than 50 percent in some African countries and up to 15 percent in Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America. These companies, controlled by a government or a government agency, struggle to meet the private sector's performance levels, and potential profits remain unrealized. During the current downturn, some state-owned enterprises—even as they face increased pressure to become more efficient—have been called on to support government stimulus plans through higher spending and job retention. Nonetheless, our research and experience show that notwithstanding the constraints of the public-sector model and the tough economic times, these enterprises can significantly improve their performance.
Even in normal times, for example, the average return on assets at state enterprises in China was less than half that of the private sector, a McKinsey study showed a few years ago. One reason is that many such companies, in China and elsewhere, are shielded from competitive pressures, but other factors contribute greatly as well. State enterprises often juggle multiple, unclear, or conflicting financial and social objectives, such as providing blanket, low-cost telephone service. Political interference can prompt decisions that threaten a company's financial goals. Finding talented workers at all levels is a problem too: the best and brightest gravitate toward the more lucrative private sector, and the tenure-based promotions common at state enterprises can conceal their best internal talent.
Yet there is hope. Some state-owned enterprises in emerging markets are closing the gap with their private-sector competitors. Petronas, the state-owned energy company in Malaysia, for example, began an operational-excellence campaign focusing on improved technical capabilities and a more effective working culture at its plants. After five years, the initiative delivered upward of $1 billion in savings and new revenues. What's more, the company's operational effectiveness, judged by a metric combining utilization, quality, and performance, is now in the industry's top quartile.
While these better-performing companies draw from well-known best practices in the private sector, they also concentrate on three areas of specific importance in the public sector: clarifying objectives and securing an explicit mandate, focusing scarce resources on areas with the highest financial impact, and redefining the talent proposition. Governments play a big role in creating the right environment for state-owned enterprises to excel, but their chief executives can implement such moves without waiting for other officials to act.
Clarify objectives and secure an explicit mandate
Too often, state-owned enterprises operate behind a curtain, revealing little information beyond their general mandate. One reason may be that their objectives are unclear or conflicting, but the lack of transparency can also be traced to political expediency, a desire to avoid comparisons with the private sector, or inexperience with clear, concise corporate communications. Leading state-owned enterprises can openly proclaim their objectives and clarify the trade-offs between their financial and social goals when they negotiate a transparent mandate with the government and other stakeholders.
In practice, that kind of transparency involves explicitly establishing financial objectives as the primary goal and setting both aspirational targets and minimum expectations, such as covering the cost of capital. The experience of developed economies provides some guidance: in Sweden, for instance, the national rail operator was told to match industry standards for returns on equity (13 percent), interest coverage (2:1), and minimum debt-to-equity ratios (1:1). Also, nonfinancial social objectives, such as maintaining employment or offering universal service, should be identified, quantified, made transparent, and, where feasible, explicitly financed. Television New Zealand, for example, receives NZ $10.7 million annually for its mandate to develop and air local programming.
The leaders of state enterprises must not only have the freedom to pursue these explicit objectives but also receive support publicly. An agreement between the leadership and government officials (normally including the prime minister or president) on the scope for action might be needed. The chief executive at an Asian commodities company, for example, negotiated an explicit mandate giving him unprecedented management leeway, including the right to name the top team (rather than accept political appointments), to dismiss underperforming workers, and to develop a performance-based compensation scheme for key positions. After months of talks, the country's head of state signed the pact. While it's too soon to judge its impact, the early signs—such as evidence of greater accountability among top executives—are promising.
These questions are best settled before CEOs formally accept the position—when they have the greatest leverage—especially if they will be responsible for improving corporate results. One effective tactic is to depict a number of scenarios and show the connections between outcomes and the measures needed to achieve them. In a McKinsey Quarterly interview,1 Idris Jala, for instance, said he made these linkages clear while being considered for the CEO position at Malaysia Airlines and pushed hard for the "freedom to act" in order to make the airline profitable within the targeted three years. While Jala didn't get everything he wanted, he was granted freedom in the areas most relevant to fixing the business, including adjusting flight schedules, eliminating loss-making routes, and selling the company's headquarters building.
Once everything is in place, communicating the new financial targets and the moves that will be used to achieve them offers three significant benefits. First, transparency helps to create accountability, which can force government officials to keep their commitments, particularly if problems arise. Second, it can boost public support for the changes, which is especially important if political support is tenuous. Finally, it puts pressure on the internal organization to deliver. Malaysia Airlines, for instance, distributed its detailed turnaround plan widely, using newspapers and Web sites, among other channels. That helped to keep a broad range of stakeholders aligned on the objectives, the improvement measures, and the progress being made.
In addition, state enterprises must not only focus their portfolios of social, nonfinancial initiatives in order to deliver meaningful results to key stakeholders but also communicate those results. Unless CEOs of state-owned enterprises meet the core needs of the public and other critical stakeholders, they risk a political backlash that could undermine their efforts and the powers they have won. These companies can't ignore their portfolios of social initiatives, such as uniform national service, that aren't directly linked to financial targets. A state-owned power company, for instance, can't let its transformation initiatives impede its ability to supply the country with electricity, often at subsidized prices. Still, companies can sometimes challenge legacy nonfinancial obligations—for example, supporting unrelated industries through indirect subsidies, such as products, services, or financing offered at below-market rates.
Focus scarce resources for highest financial impact
Even with transparent agreements, state-owned enterprises tread on shaky ground. Public scrutiny—and therefore the pressure to deliver quick results and avoid missteps—is intense. Wholesale changes can upset workers and raise the level of political risk. Leadership talent is scarce, and few people have experience executing change programs. As a result, judicious state-owned enterprises tend to begin their change programs by concentrating on a few areas that promise to have the greatest financial impact rather than embarking on a broad agenda that could fail for lack of resources. This focus also limits the possibility that divergent, and possibly conflicting, stakeholder interests will distract a company's leaders from their core tasks.
Executives must choose their targets carefully. To emphasize urgency and plow through the bureaucratic inertia that's common in state enterprises, it will often be necessary to establish special, CEO-sponsored teams that can bypass unnecessary management layers. The chief executive of the Indonesian state oil company Pertamina, for example, created breakthrough teams he monitored closely to speed up high-impact projects. Starting with about a dozen initiatives, the program has since been expanded to encompass the entire organization, generating about $285 million in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) in just over two years. For many companies, departments (such as procurement) that control big budgets and are prone to political interference (or that need to balance social objectives) often benefit from the increased focus such teams create.
By focusing on a select group of business units, CEOs can channel disproportionate investment to the areas with the highest potential. The Brazilian energy company Petróleo Brasileiro (Petrobras), for example, has focused for years on building capabilities in deep-water exploration and production. Since 1986, Petrobras has invested more than $20 billion to develop technological advantages in this area, which it credits with raising production to 2.4 million barrels a day, from about 500,000 barrels.
Some CEOs even go so far as to separate from their core organization the areas with the highest potential. Such isolation can create room for these businesses to build decisive, performance-based cultures and to become models for the entire organization, potentially leading the way to broader cultural change.
To help focus on high-priority areas, leaders at state companies must also examine noncore activities and assets and, wherever possible, terminate, franchise, outsource, or shed them. Divestment of public assets is politically sensitive and usually requires approval on many levels, but executives have found creative ways to expedite the effort. The commodities company cited earlier, for example, transferred the running of its shipping fleet to an international partner. This move, which required no ownership changes or head count reductions, saved the company tens of millions of dollars in less than six months, primarily thanks to the partner's better discipline and operating practices.
Redefining the talent proposition
State companies find it difficult to attract talented people and to motivate the high performers they already have because the environment is perceived as staid, hierarchical, and bureaucratic. Since career progression is often based on tenure rather than performance, employees with leadership skills may see little reason to shine. Redefining the talent proposition can influence these attitudes. State-owned enterprises must promote the unique opportunities they provide talented people, offer competitive compensation, and intensify their efforts to manage performance.
To bring in outside talent, state-owned companies should make their case stronger. After all, they offer exciting challenges in nation building, opportunities to work on projects with a much broader impact than those available in the private sector, and the possibility of pursuing careers in a vast network of public and private companies. When these largely ignored benefits are marketed, the impact can be astounding. One state holding company recruited more than 100 young investment professionals after the CEO met personally with promising applicants to explain his vision for the country's state enterprises. Many accepted pay cuts from high-salaried positions to join the effort. Recruiters at the utility State Grid Corporation of China emphasize its mandate to modernize the country, particularly rural areas, as well as to provide career development, competitive salaries, and stable employment.
Public-sector enterprises such as State Grid are taking advantage of the downturn to recruit overseas nationals, particularly those with experience in financial services and accounting. State financial companies in Shanghai are actively recruiting in Chicago, London, and New York. While many private-sector employees still think that work at such enterprises carries a stigma, career uncertainty during the downturn has made others open to the opportunities.
To tip the balance in many decisions, state enterprises must bring compensation packages closer to private-sector standards. China Mobile, the country's largest mobile-service operator, offers its managers compensation plans that compete directly with those of the multinationals. When broad changes in compensation aren't feasible, some companies develop dual compensation programs for high-quality workers in targeted areas. For example, one Eastern European telecommunications company offers short-term contracts at higher salaries for selected positions, giving applicants a choice between higher pay and increased job security.
Another critical element for developing and retaining talented leaders is to intensify performance management. Meaningful rewards and consequences must be based on merit, not tenure. Many state companies have only a superficial performance culture—formal evaluation processes, for instance. Most employees may routinely get top rankings, regardless of performance, and these rankings have little connection to promotions or other incentives. One way to put teeth into the performance evaluation process is to implement a forced-ranking system, in which a specified proportion of workers must receive high and low rankings, with the bulk clustered around average, which after all is what "average" means. Together with genuine conversations about performance and with incentives linked to the rankings, the system not only sends a clear signal that performance matters but can also evolve into a more natural ranking system focusing on opportunities and clear metrics.
For many state companies, especially in difficult economic times, removing underperformers is challenging, but these employees must face consequences if organizations are to build cultures based on superior work. Some state enterprises have tried to use peer pressure—for example, by openly ranking people according to a relevant metric, such as sales volumes or transactions completed—to improve performance or even shame underperformers into departing voluntarily. Others shift them to noncritical positions, where at least they can no longer hinder the work of others.
State enterprises must also be more open to hiring talented foreigners, who can bring needed skills, especially in areas (such as finance and marketing) that have taken a back seat to technical skills. Since many state enterprises are prohibited from hiring foreigners, especially for senior positions, their leaders should work to ease such restrictions in areas in which they are significantly behind the private sector.
Finally, state-owned companies that redefine the talent proposition can't forget the current staff. Tenured employees with substantial job security often become less motivated, especially if a company has lost some of its public standing and profitability to more dynamic private-sector competitors. Om Prakash Bhatt, chairman of State Bank of India, the country's largest bank by assets, brought new meaning to the jobs of its 200,000 workers by holding candid conversations with people at all levels.2 He explained the bank's market position, inspired employees with his vision, and told them that no one would be promoted or otherwise rewarded unless the bank's performance improved. A structured communications plan, which included reminders of the bank's past stature, was part of an overall program that helped the institution to arrest a slide in market share and to become more profitable, among other improvements.
Despite the obstacles, state-owned enterprises can match the private sector's performance standards and even become world-class players. A clear mandate, an intense focus, and a workable talent strategy can bring quick results. Chief executives at these companies don't have to wait for governments to take the lead. They already have the tools at their fingertips.

Verdeling van waarnemingen over het jaar | Waarnemingen van broeden over het jaar |
The 1 reported observations of this bird in Suriname, mainly for the last 50 years up to 2018, have been grouped by month. More birds on one day are counted as one observation. Of course, if the graph should depict the total number of birds seen, the differences between the months could be much more pronounced. | The reported breeding observations of this bird in Suriname. Most observations are about nest with eggs, some about fledglings, or feeding at a nest or the building of a nest. Of the about 5000 nests and eggs found for all species together, about 1/3 comes from the egg collection of Penard between 1896 and 1905. For some reason most collecting then was done in the first half of each year, so the shown distribution does not necessarily reflect the actual breeding preferences. The main dry season in Suriname is reckoned to be from half August to the end of November, the main wet season from half April to half August, but the the timing of begin and end does vary from year to year. Around March a second dry season often occurs. |

I have won a boatload of awards for my work, and I'm grateful for every single one of them, but I've always been unsure of whether I earned them or whether the jury was rigged. By now I am literally addicted to making photos…for which there is no known cure, except to make more.

November 29, 2012
By JULIE PACE and
Associated Press
President Barack Obama will host his former political rival Mitt Romney for a private lunch at the White House Thursday, their first meeting since the election.
Obama promised in his victory speech earlier this month to engage with Romney following their bitter campaign and consider the Republican's ideas.
"In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Gov. Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward," Obama said at the time.
Obama aides said they reached out to Romney's team shortly before Thanksgiving to start working on a date for the meeting. The two men will meet in the White House's private dining room, with no press coverage expected.
In the days after his loss, Romney told top donors that the president was re-elected because of the "gifts" Obama provided to blacks, Hispanics and young voters, all of which are core Obama constituencies.
"The president's campaign, if you will, focused on giving targeted groups a big gift," Romney said.
Many Republican officials, eager to move on quickly after the loss, disputed Romney's comments and urged the party to focus on being more inclusive.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said Obama was looking forward to having a "useful discussion" with his former competitor. But he said there was no formal agenda for the lunch.
While in Washington, Romney will also meet with his former running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, according to a Romney campaign aide. Ryan is back on Capitol Hill, where he's involved in negotiations to avert a series of automatic tax increases and deep spending cuts that have come to be known as the "fiscal cliff."
Much of that debate centers on expiring tax cuts first passed by George W. Bush. Obama and Romney differed sharply during the campaign over what to do with the cuts, with the Republican pushing for them to be extended for all income earners and the president running on a pledge to let the cuts expire for families making more than $250,000 a year.
The White House sees Obama's victory as a signal that Americans support his tax proposals.
Obama and Romney's sit-down Thursday will likely be their most extensive private meeting ever. The two men had only a handful of brief exchanges before the 2012 election.
Even after their political fates became intertwined, their interactions were largely confined to the three presidential debates.
Romney has virtually disappeared from politics following his loss in the Nov. 6 election. He's spent the last three weeks largely in seclusion at his family's southern California home. He has made no public appearances, drawing media attention only after being photographed at Disneyland in addition to stops at the movies and the gym with his wife, Ann.
Former aides confirm that Romney is expected to move into an office at the Boston-area venture capital firm Solamere Capital. The firm was founded by his oldest son, Tagg Romney, and Spencer Zwick, who served as his presidential campaign's national finance chairman.
It's unclear what role, if any, Romney will play at the firm. Former aides said Romney was subletting office space from Solamere.

Comparing Lab vs Mined
Our comparison prices are derived from a careful analysis of how we source and acquire our diamonds compared to the typical sourcing and pricing of mined diamonds. We keep the metal prices stable among all comparisons, only the stones are taken into the comparison calculation. While prices may fluctuate over time, we continuously monitor these trends to give you the most accurate data we can find.
Guaranteeing an ethical diamond is priceless, however in terms of monetary value, traditional mined diamond jewellery retains a resale value of just 20-60% of its original price - that's if you find a buyer.
Our focus is on you wearing and enjoying your piece, so opting for lab diamond jewellery allows you to allocate your savings elsewhere while still keeping your cherished piece forever.
