Planning is very important to our everyday activities. Several definitions have been given by different writers what planning is all about and its importance to achieving our objectives. It is amazing that this important part of HR is mostly ignored in HR in most organizations because those at the top do not know the value of HR planning. Organizations that do not plan for the future have less opportunities to survive the competition ahead. This article will discuss the importance of HR planning; the six steps of HR planning that is: Forecasting; inventory, audit, HR Resource Plan; Actioning of Plan; Monitoring and Control.
Quoting Mondy et (1996) they define it as a systematic analysis of HR needs in order to ensure that correct number of employees with the necessary skills are available when they are required. When we prepare our planning programme, Practitioners should bear in mind that their staff members have their objective they need to achieve. This is the reason why employees seek employment. Neglecting these needs would result in poor motivation that may lead to unnecessary poor performance and even Industrial actions. HR Planning involves gathering of information, making objectives, and making decisions to enable the organization achieve its objectives. Surprisingly, this aspect of HR is one of the most neglected in the HR field. When HR Planning is applied properly in the field of HR Management, it would assist to address the following questions: 1. 2. 3. 4. How many staff does the Organization have? What type of employees as far as skills and abilities does the Company have? How should the Organization best utilize the available resources? How can the Company keep its employees?
HR planning makes the organization move and succeed in the 21st Century that we are in. Human Resources Practitioners who prepare the HR Planning programme would assist the Organization to manage its staff strategically. The programme assist to direct the actions of HR department.
The programme does not assist the Organization only, but it will also facilitate the career planning of the employees and assist them to achieve the objectives as well. This augment motivation and the Organization would become a good place to work. HR Planning forms an important part of Management information system. HR have an enormous task keeping pace with the all the changes and ensuring that the right people are available to the Organization at the right time. It is changes to the composition of the workforce that force managers to pay attention to HR planning. The changes in composition of workforce not only influence the appointment of staff, but also the methods of selection, training, compensation and motivation. It becomes very critical when Organizations merge, plants are relocated, and activities are scaled down due to financial problems. Human resources planning is an important component of securing future operations. For sustainability, plans must be made to ensure that adequate resources are available and trained for all levels of an organization. Although police organizations are stretched to meet current service requirements, it is important that they also spend time to create plans to ensure there will be officers to fill future positions. These plans must be prepared well in advance, with targets set for the short, mid and long term. Not only must adequate resourcing be considered for the bulk of the workforce but special consideration must be given for the leadership of each organization. This requires developing specialized succession plans for identifying and grooming potential future leaders. The leader candidates must receive management, leadership, and all relevant knowledge and skills training. Plans should also be created to leverage the knowledge of those leaving today's leadership roles so that future leaders are fully informed. Securing future policing operations requires careful planning and a clear implementation strategy. "When I look at where we have come, what gives me tremendous satisfaction is not so much the success, but the fact that we achieved this success without compromising on the value we defined for ourselves? Values combined with a powerful vision can turbocharge a company to scale new heights and make it succeed beyond one's wildest expectations." Azim Premji The basic purpose of having a manpower plan is to have accurate estimate of required manpower with matching skills requirements. The main objectives are: . Forecast manpower requirements. . Cope with changes – environment, economic, organizational. . Use existing manpower productively. . Promote employees in a systematic way.

Rapid Learning:At Wipro, we know how critical time is for fulfilling training needs and hence we have developed competency in the area of Rapid Learning. An emerging form of content development, Rapid Learning helps to develop content in a short span of time using various tools; the content delivery can be both synchronous as well as asynchronous. Wipro has strategic partnerships with leading technology providers to help you choose the tool that suits your requirement best. Based on research conducted in this area, Rapid Content Development can be used for any of the following content areas: Critical Training – when the training requirement is critical and must be addressed immediately. Minor change – when the difference between what is known and what is new is minimal Short shelf life – when the content in question has a very short shelf life Frequent updates – when the content needs to be update frequently. Process Training :Large enterprises keep updating their processes to improve the efficacies of their systems. Business process training is typically a part of any organization's overall change management plan. Wipro provides Process Training in several fields including HR, Quality, Operation, Payroll, Recruitment, and more. For a meaningful transition of the process, quality training is extremely critical. Understanding the complexities involved in rolling out these process trainings, we bring you quick solutions that help deliver effective training for your organization. The components of process training are: 1. Analyze 2. Inform 3. Involve 4. Support Development Wipro Leaders' Qualities Survey,which started in 1992, is one of our oldest leadership development initiatives. It has successfully contributed in our endeavor to nurture top class business leaders in Wipro. We have 8 Wipro Leadership Qualities, which are based on Wipro vision, values and business strategy. In order to identify and help leaders develop these competencies we adopt a 360-degree survey process. This is an end-to-end program, which starts with the obtaining of feedback from relevant respondents and ends with each leader drawing up a Personal Development Plan (PDP) based on the feedback received. The PDP is developed through "Winds of Change" which is a seven-step program that helps in identifying strengths and improvement areas, and determining the action steps.
The Leadership Development Framework
Leadership Lifecycle Programs Wipro has developed an approach for Life Cycle Stage Development Plan. Training and development programs at various stages have been designed by mapping the competencies to specific roles. Competencies specify the specific success behaviors at every role. · Entry-level program (ELP) - The program covers the junior management employees with the objective of developing managerial qualities in the employee. The target group is campus hires and lateral hires at junior level. · New Leaders' Program (NLP) - It is popularly known as NLP and aims at developing potential people managers, who have taken such roles or are likely to get into those roles in the near future. · Wipro Leaders' Program (WLP) - This program is for middle level leader with people, process, business development and project management responsibilities. These leaders are like the flag bearers of Wipro values and Wipro way of doing business. · Business Leaders' Program (BLP) - This is for senior leaders with business responsibility. At this level, people are trained up for revenue generation; and Profit & Loss responsibilities. The program covers commercial orientation, client relationship development, and team building and performance management responsibilities among other things. · Strategic Leaders' Program (SLP) - This program covers top management employees. The focus is on Vision, Values, Strategy, Global Thinking and Acting, Customer Focus and Building Star Performers.

PROMOTION "Higher you go. Heavier you get"
A promotion is the advancement of an employee's rank or position in an organizational hierarchy system. Promotion may be an employee's reward for good performance i.e. positive appraisal. Before a company promotes an employee to a particular position it ensures that the person is able to handle the added responsibilities by screening the employee with interviews and tests and giving them training or on-the-job experience. As per Guidelines for supervisory employees' promotion/up gradation, applicable to the present year, Manager (HR) prepares the list of eligible employees. Simultaneously, V P (HR) also asks for recommendations from HODs. A comprehensive list is then prepared by Manager (HR) and submitted to the EPPP which is announced by the Site President, for Executive and Manager family, and by the Group President (MSD), for Leader Family. • Bases Of Promotion :1. Seniority:Seniority simply depends upon how long the employees is doing job with the company. The length of service and talent are both interrelated with each other. It is based on the tradition of respect for older people. It creates a sense of security among employees and avoids conflict arising from promotion decision. 2. Merit:Merit implies the knowledge, skill and performance records of an employee. It helps to motivate competent employee to work hard and acquire new skills. It helps to attract and retain young and promising employees in the organization. On the above basis, promotion of employees is done in Wipro. Wipro also prompt employee by conducting different case studies on different aspects of Information Technology. Working at Wipro is very comparative & to get promotion required smart work and projection.
Compensation is a systematic approach to providing monetary value to employees in exchange for work performed. Compensation may achieve several purposes assisting in recruitment, job performance, and job satisfaction. Wages and salaries structure is very vital for the retention of the employees as due to stiff competition, if proper salary is not given then the employees will go to those organization offering higher salaries. Jivraj Tea Ltd is actively involved in retaining good manpower in the organization by providing proper salary and incentive methods. Wipro runs 50 offices in India. It has a branch office in USA, Canada, Europe, Middle east, Africa etc. PAY SCALE OF EMPLOYEE AT WIPRO EMPLOYEE CLASS A+ CLASS A CLASS B+ CLASS B CLASS TECHNICIAN ZERO LEVEL TOTAL NO.OF EMPLOYEE 128 1240 33000 22000 4000 3440 SALARY PER MONTH 120000 US $ 150000 60000 45000 35000 10000

Wipro Consumer Care and Lighting workers strike work
A Wipro statement said the firm was keen to sign a four-year wage settlement and is open to discussions as soon as the strike ends Bangalore: Workers at the Mysore factory of Wipro Consumer Care and Lighting, a business division of Wipro Ltd, have struck work since Tuesday over a wage dispute, halting the production of compact fluorescent light bulbs and tubelights at the peak of the festive season. On edge: Wipro Consumer Care and Lighting chief Vineet Agrawal. Namas Bhojani / Bloomberg The workers' union, affiliated to the All India Trade Union Congress (Aituc), went on strike over a wage settlement pending since February. The factory, located in the Hootagalli industrial area on the outskirts of Mysore, employs nearly 250 workers. The workers are demanding a wage hike of Rs5,000 a month and negotiations for pay increases once in three years, effective May this year. The average monthly wage for employees was Rs3,700, said H.R. Sheshadri, the local Aituc general secretary who also heads the workers' union. Unions at three of the seven Wipro factories across India are affiliated to Aituc. The eight-year-old Mysore plant is equipped to produce 37 million lamps of different categories in a year. A Wipro statement said the firm was keen to sign a four-year wage settlement and is open to discussions as soon as the strike ends. Wipro had offered a wage hike of Rs1,000 a month, said Seshadri, adding the union was prepared to compromise on its demand and accept an increase of Rs2,500. The management had refused to budge, he said. The union gave the mandatory 20 days' notice before it went on strike, he said. An official at the Karnataka labour department said it has called for tripartite talks on Friday with the workers' union and the management to settle the row. The consumer care and lighting business posted revenues of Rs527 crore for the second quarter ended September, less than one-tenth of the Rs6,507 crore Wipro earned during the period. Wipro is also India's third biggest computer services firm.

Talk:Colegio de la Preciosa Sangre de Pichilemu
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
|Colegio de la Preciosa Sangre de Pichilemu has been listed as one of the Social sciences and society good articles under the good article criteria. If you can improve it further, please do so. If it no longer meets these criteria, you can reassess it.
|Current status: Good article
GA Review[edit]
|GA toolbox
- This review is transcluded from Talk:Colegio de la Preciosa Sangre de Pichilemu/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.
Reviewer: North8000 (talk · contribs) 23:26, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
I am starting a review of this article. North8000 (talk) 23:26, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
I did a pre-review question/post at on the talk page of the nominator and primary editor. [1] As of today have not received a response and it appears that they may be retired. (?) North8000 (talk) 23:30, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
- It's probably best to fail it post-review, since the last edit by the user was in October. You can wait to see if another user will pick it up, but that's unlikely. Wizardman 02:33, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
Review discussion[edit]
In the academics section, the statement "The school is "the best in Pichilemu"" really needs to be sourced (if kept) . One its is a superlative claim, and the other that it is put in as a quote. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 00:05, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
- It is a direct quote from the Expreso de la Costa newspaper. I've introduced the sentence expressing it is a quote from that news source. The issue is sourcing. Can you provide a source for that? (e.g. the Expreso de la Costa article.)?
- Got it, reference added.
The article has a lot of info that is overly detailed / not enclyclopedic, some it student-guide or student news type material. Just looking for a bit of a reduction. I prefer to not get into picking individual sentences, but listing the 2011 debate team topic, the hours of operation (and exceptions to them) give the idea of what I'm thinking about. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 00:15, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
- I know it is overly detailed at times. Just for the record, I based this article off of other good articles on schools, such as Benet Academy and École L'Odyssée (which is also a foreign-language school). Please consider too that being this a small-town school, there weren't too many references to put to it, besides some which are kind of repetitive. Regards, --Lester Foster (talk | talk) 20:34, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the response. I might just make a few small pares and then figure we're good enough in that respect. When I edit, I'm an editor, not a reviewer. Feel free to revert if you disagree. North8000 (talk) 20:55, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
- Okay!
- Resolved. Not perfect in that area, but OK enough to not impact passing GA. North8000 (talk) 21:11, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
- Okay!
- Thanks for the response. I might just make a few small pares and then figure we're good enough in that respect. When I edit, I'm an editor, not a reviewer. Feel free to revert if you disagree. North8000 (talk) 20:55, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
Could you, with the first use of the term in the article, briefly explain what the "PSU" test is? Thanx. North8000 (talk) 21:00, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
- Done Lester Foster (talk | talk) 21:05, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
- Resolved. North8000 (talk) 21:17, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
GA criteria[edit]

Broad in its coverage
- Meets this criteria.North8000 (talk) 11:52, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without bias, giving due weight to each
- Sufficiently meets this criteria. See closing note. North8000 (talk) 11:50, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute
- Meets this criteria. North8000 (talk) 11:24, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
Illustrated, if possible, by images
- Passes this criteria. Has 4 images, all are free so article-specific use-rationale is not required. North8000 (talk) 23:56, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
Congratulations, this article passes as a Good Article! As noted, it could possibly use a bit more paring on some very detailed information contained, but this is a minor suggestion, not a GA passage issue. The level of detail that made it in regarding accomplishments might give it tiny-bit-POV appearance, but such actually comes from the nature of coverage in sources. Again, congratulations!...I will implement the details. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 12:01, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
Congratulations - this passes Good Article[edit]
(I have "duplicated" this here for when the review is no longer transcluded.) Congratulations - this passes Good Article! In the review I made suggestions for further development. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 12:13, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you again for reviewing the article! Lester Foster (talk | talk) 13:31, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
Vanity / wp:undue efforts[edit]
I support efforts to remove the Vanity / wp:undue material. But I think that the picture of the debate team is OK. North8000 (talk) 01:13, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah - you are probably right. I'll put it back in. AndyTheGrump (talk) 01:27, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
I have restored the table of individual PSU scores, and the prose text which includes names of individuals (including my name). I will make a clarification here: the content is relevant to Chilean schools, and that's the main reason why I added names and specific scores where relevant (and when available). Removing these contents would be an error. I have reviewed the policies cited by the user above (WP:BLP and WP:COI), and I sincerely don't think there is a conflict of interest. If I were to publicize myself, I'd do it for other things, for real. I've got better things to promote, haha. If you are to remove the content again, please discuss it here, before you do it. Kind regards, Küñall (talk) 05:13, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
- Given that Küñall - who self-identifies as Diego Grez Cañete, a former student of the Colegio - has repeatedly gone out of his way to insert his entirely non-notable self into this article and the deleted (as non-notable) article on the Colegio 'student center', and had even gone as far as to create a ridiculous category just to include himself on it, I'm not going to discuss this here, as it is clearly a behavioural issue. I'll be starting a thread at WP:ANI tomorrow. AndyTheGrump (talk) 06:33, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
- Küñall, long story short, what you are trying to do is a bad idea and improper in Wikipedia terms. You should stop. North8000 (talk) 12:18, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
Cheer C.P.S.[edit]
The "Cheer C.P.S." section is a full copy/paste of a deleted article (Cheer C.P.S.). The reasons for the deletion of that information were provided at the time of the deletion proposal. As a fact, that article was created by Küñall, the same user of the Colegio de la Preciosa Sangre article, who also had related incidents some months ago. Regards. --Sfs90 (talk) 17:39, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
- Sfs90, the article was deleted based on the grounds that high school cheerleading groups are not notable enough to have their own article, as the deleting admin wrote me in a message. Content was merged in here because it is its 'mother article'; content is referenced thoroughly and it could not be lost all at once. Btw, I don't get what you mean by "related incidents". Please elaborate. Küñall (talk) 17:52, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
- By the way, as I stated on my most recent edit summary, reverting and reverting is unhelpful, unconstructive and will not take us anywhere. Please do not revert my edits to the article, and please state your reasons here before. WP:IDONTLIKEIT is not a valid reason (which seems to be your reason). "Copy/pasting" isn't a crime either (I did myself write that other article...) so... Küñall (talk) 18:04, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
- The sources seem reliable enough to me, at least the Chilean online newspaper articles. The third source, Cheerleader Classic, seems more dubious. Is there an issue with the content itself, beyond the fact that it was added by Küñall? Huon (talk) 18:35, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
- A question. "The team, composed of 28 teenagers —most of them Preciosa Sangre students— and their teacher Claudio Rojas, collected funds to travel to the United States..." What does 'most' mean, and how does a school cheerleading team include members who don't attend the school? AndyTheGrump (talk) 21:35, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for your input Huon. Andy, most of Cheer CPS members were Preciosa Sangre students, but not all of them were. Reason was (from my personal knowledge) that the remaining schools in the commune were so poor the nuns supported Rojas' idea to include external students as members of the squad. Küñall (talk) 21:40, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

I have 'Allow bookings with registered emails' set to Yes but for some reason when i try to book an event with my email address while logged out or using incognito it says this email is in our system please login to proceed with booking.
Does this setting require me to enable no-user booking mode? or am i missing a setting some where?
Any ideas?

Islam has Prohibition against cremation so cannot shoot him into the sun anyway
Who cares?
The Silence of the Lambs sequel ripped off Porcile? Thats a pretty lame thing to do.
I understand that cremation is not allowed under Islamic law, but I also understand that no Islamic cemetery will accept the body. So here's my question — if the body is cremated, who is going to complain?
I've got it. How about we don't get into any illegal wars, don't use drones for killings and don't give blind support to the Israeli apartheid.
Burying the man in Boston (or maybe anywhere in this country0 would require having armed guards around his grave for at least a couple of generations.
Welcome to America, where proving a point- no matter how asinine- trumps actually getting something done.
Ship it to Putin. He knows how to deal with these things.
Thank you for your usual brain drippings sans any facts just poisonous invective and cast aspersions. Ignore the comic to do so. No ideas? Your well runs dry rather fast today.
Ask any country to take his body. Really strange how now no one will allow burial. In the past we actually buried criminals too. Now one can't. Set aside desecrated ground then. This is really pathetic and ridiculous.
Sorry, good ideas, but our hegemon won't allow that to stop.
Yes, be irresponsible, others are. What are you ten?
You really are one nasty piece of work. Hope you have that peptic ulcer treated.
hey sounds good to me
Bad timing Ted, Tsarnaev has already been buried somewhere outside of Massachusetts.
I can understand cemeteries in Boston & Cambridge not wanting his grave there. Protesters have been outside the funeral home where his body was held. Any cemetery accepting Tsarnaev's corpse would have been vandalized.
"Ship it to Putin. He knows how to deal with these things."
Apparently not. Russia refused to allow the body to be sent to his mother in Dagestan.

Solid State Transfer Switch (SSTS)
The solid state transfer switch (SSTS) is an electrical device that allows instantaneous transfer of power sources to the load. Its superior switching time allows the device to switch to the back-up power source so quickly that the load never recognizes the transfer made if one power source fails. The device can be considered as a power electronic replacement for the distribution switchgear. Usually, commercial SSTS provide a small measure of fault current limiting behaviour and hence reduce the stress on the downstream circuit breakers [2]
SSTS provides seamless uninterruptable power to customers and also rapid load transfer between independent feeder systems. The ability to transfer seamlessly between feeders where direct interconnection is not allowed, enables the device to perform load shedding easily.

The paper presents a new control strategy for the inverter side of an HVDC power system. The new control algorithm is intended for stability improvement of an HVDC system connected to a very weak receiving AC system. A root-locus analysis based on a detailed analytical system model determines the eigenvalues which are mostly affected by the reduction in strength of the inverter AC system. The feedback signal for the new controller is selected by considering possible movement of eigenvalues of importance. The controller is designed as a second-order filter placed in the feedback loop. Since the robustness of the system with respect to the AC system SCR changes is the main controller aim, the H∞ control theory is used for the controller design. Two cases have been studied: the design of a controller to improve the stability of an HVDC system connected to an AC system susceptible to large variations in its strength; and the design of a controller which enables an HVDC system connection to a very weak AC system (SCR=1.0 is considered). The PSCAD/EMTDC simulation results confirm that the controller meets the design objectives

Posted on 09/05/2003 5:03:08 AM PDT by RikaStrom
In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of word for the day. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the word of the day; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. Practice makes perfect.....post on....
deride \de*ride\, verb:
deriding, derides, derided; transitive verb
derider; derision noun
deridingly; adverb
1. To speak of or treat with contemptuous mirth.
2. To laugh at with contempt; to laugh to scorn; to turn to ridicule or make sport of; to mock; to scoff at.
3. Contemptuous or jeering laughter; ridicule.
4. A state of being derided.
It is in the nature of tyranny to deride the will of the people as the voice of the mob, and to denounce the cry for freedom as the roar of anarchy.
--William Safire, "The Counter-Revolution," New York Times, May 22, 1989
Etymology: [Latin d r d re : d -, de- + r d re, to laugh at.]
Good Morning Students. Welcome to class! Thank goodness, it's finally FRIDAY!
Class is now in session. The rules are simple; you get a grade if you use the WFTD in a sentence, haiku, limerick, or quatrain. You get a "+" if you make a link, or make the teacher laugh, or you offer the appropriate bribes. I hold the grade book; the whip and chair.
Ok, I couldn't find a particular story to use as an example, there were so many, so this just sums up my feelings on several issues that I've seen this week.
Spiteful, petty ways.
Democratic derision
I loathe liberals.
F- for totally inappropriate use of derider and giving me a headache by linking that vile vitch.
No Books died last night though. This is good.
You need to get hubby to move y'all out of PA!
Mornin', Teach ! Mornin', everybody !!
The farmer and Roy the Rooster ...
This farmer has about 200 hens, but no rooster, and he wants chicks. So, he goes down the road to the next farmer and asks if he has a rooster which he would sell. The other farmer says, "Yeah, I've got this great rooster named Roy. He'll service every chicken you got, no problem."
Well, Roy the rooster costs a lot of money, but the farmer decides he'd be worth it. So, he buys Roy. The farmer takes Roy home and sets him down in the barnyard. He gave the rooster a pep talk. "Roy, I want you to pace yourself now. You've got a lot of chickens to service here, and you cost me a lot of money. I'll need you to do a good job. So, take your time and have some fun," the farmer said, with a chuckle.
Roy seemed to understand, so the farmer points toward the hen house, and Roy took off like a shot. WHAM! - Roy nails every hen in the hen house -- three or four times --and the farmer is really shocked. After that the farmer hears a commotion in the duck pen. Sure enough, Roy is in there. Later, the farmer sees Roy after a flock of geese. Once again, WHAM! - He gets all the geese. By sunset he sees Roy out in the fields chasing quail and pheasants.
The farmer is distraught -- worried that his expensive rooster won't even last 24 hours. Sure enough, the farmer goes to bed and wakes up the next day, to find Roy dead as a doornail -- stone cold in the middle of the yard. Buzzards are circling overhead. The farmer, saddened by the loss of such a colorful and expensive animal,shakes his head and says, "Oh Roy, I told you to pace yourself. I tried to get you to slow down, now look what you've done to yourself."
Roy opens one eye, nods toward the buzzards circling in the sky and says, "Shhhh, they're getting closer... "
Uh, Flurry, do you know something about the legs of Gabz that we don't know about??????????
Wait, is she talking about the tradition that presidents respect the office, and officeholder by DISAPPEARING for a couple of years after their term expires?
President Bush's response was most appropriate: "Are you ready for some Football?"

JCP at least didnt declare chapt 11 under Johnson like RSH will
Syco I would have to agree. Ron J had all kids of ideas and did it non stop. CEOjo seems to be doing the same. That does not equate to sucsess. It took time to see JCP was dying. The same seems to be evident here except they dont have the time. Etrade comes to mind when they tuned the books over to GS to explore stategic alternatives aka a sale. It takes about 90 days when they came back zip. The clock is ticking for the shack. Think about it, who in the ight mind would loan them money who? No one will. They will have to do a massive dillution at the least halfing the pps. That is the best case senario I can see for any comon holder.
Q3 they will be on the hot seat. Its game over then if nothing surfaces. CEO owns words by years end or reorganization aka chapt 11
were have you been...hiding from the rally? A dilutive refi is priced in. Bricks and mortar is far from dead.

Background: The effect of breastfeeding duration on subsequent asthma and allergy remains the subject of much controversy.
Objective: To investigate whether differences in study design or disease-related exposure modification were the cause of the differences in study findings.
Method: The data from two cohorts, the Childhood Asthma Prevention Study (CAPS) from Australia and the Barn Allergi Miljo Stockholm cohort from Sweden, which had reported different findings on the association between breastfeeding and asthma, were combined. For this analysis, the definitions for breastfeeding, asthma, and allergy were harmonized. Subjects were included if they had at least one parent with wheeze or asthma and had a gestational age of more than 36 wks (combined n = 882). The risk of disease-related exposure modification was assessed using survival analysis.
Results: Breastfeeding reduced the risk of asthma at 4/5 and 8 yrs of age in children with a family history of asthma. The effect was stronger in the Swedish cohort. Breastfeeding had no effect on the prevalence of sensitization to inhaled allergens in this cohort with a family history of asthma but was a risk factor for sensitization to cow's milk, peanuts, and eggs in the CAPS cohort at 4/5 yrs and in the combined cohort at 8 yrs. There was no evidence to support the existence of disease-related exposure modification in either cohort.
Conclusion: These findings point to the importance of harmonization of features of study design, including subject selection criteria and variable definitions, in resolving epidemiological controversies such as those surrounding the impact of breastfeeding on asthma and allergic sensitization.

The Viewing-from-Above Bias and the Silhouette Illusion

The silhouette illusion published online a number of years ago by the Japanese Flash designer Nobuyuki Kayahara has received substantial attention from the online community. One feature that seems to make it interesting is an apparent rotational bias: Observers see it spinning more often clockwise than counter-clockwise. Here, we show that this rotational bias is in fact due to the visual system's preference for viewpoints from above rather than from below.
