In a normal market environment, Trina Solar's (NYSE:TSL) news today regarding changes in the company's board of directors would have been dismissed at the headline level as being generally irrelevant. However, in today's super sensitive market concerning fraud at Chinese companies, even minor news was enough to send TSL shares over 15% lower on heavy trading volume.
Most of the concern is likely linked to Mr. Peter Mak's resignation as an independent director and chairman of Trina Solar's audit committee. Undoubtedly, links will be made to the same Peter Mak who has been A-Power's (APWR) CFO for the past two years. APWR has been linked to fraud concerns and has not been able to provide audited financials for the most recent fiscal year, which has caused several of its independent directors to resign. According to A-Power news last week, Mr. Mak's term will expire on July 15 and thus he will be stepping down and replaced.
At first glance it would appear as negative news for Trina Solar, but all things considered, it can be argued TSL's independent board of directors is strengthened by the removal of a director who has been the financial chief of a company suspected of corporate fraud. After all, Mr. Mak will be replaced by Mr. Jerome Corcoran, who has served as a managing director and international investment banking head at separate Merrill Lynch positions in the past.
Typically, market sentiment cycles are broken on event driven news. How often have stocks bottomed on extreme negative news flow during industry cycles? How often have sectors topped when the lowest investment grade companies in hot sectors get upgraded as premium companies? The same sentiment may also apply regarding recent fears over U.S. listed Chinese stocks as concerns spread from micro-cap unknowns to much larger established companies such as Trina Solar.
Indeed, attacks by bears as fraud claims started to spread to more established Chinese companies have started to backfire. Most recently, fears over Spreadtrum Communications (SPRD) being the next Chinese fraud caused shares to drop by as much as a third in value intraday. By the end of the trading day, SPRD shares recovered nearly all of its intraday losses, and in the following trading days shares rallied further to ultimately double reaction lows.
Unlike many micro-cap U.S. listed Chinese reverse mergers which occurred at the height of the "buy China" craze around the time of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Spreadtrum was brought public in 2007 by large U.S. investment banks such as Morgan Stanley, Lehman Brothers, Piper Jaffray, and Needham & Company. While this is no guarantee against fraud, generally more due diligence is completed, since well known Wall Street firms would unlikely risk reputations on unknown Chinese companies. In addition, SPRD has always been audited by a big four auditor, and its latest 2010 annual report was audited by Pricewaterhouse Coopers. Most of the recent Chinese fraud concerns have involved more obscure local companies using lower tier investment banks and auditing firms.
The same situation most likely applies to Trina Solar today. TSL was brought public in a normal IPO process in late 2006, led by Merrill Lynch along with Cowen and Company along with CLSA Asia-Pacific. Trina Solar has always used a big four auditor and its latest 2010 annual report was audited by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu.
Unlike many small Chinese companies with less confirmable domestic businesses, Trina Solar exports over 90% of its products to well known markets around the world such as Europe and the United States. Many of its customers are large utilities, regional distributors, and solar project developers. Depending on location, investors can witness TSL's products in the field first hand since the company has concentrated on high profile projects to increase brand recognition. Within the industry, Trina Solar is among the largest five producers globally and widely viewed by Wall Street analysts as perhaps the best managed U.S. listed Chinese solar company with a proven execution record.
Since sentiment over Chinese stocks and solar companies is still currently very negative, it would be difficult to see if it has reached a climax. Based on past Wall Street cycles, often events such as recently seen with SPRD and TSL mark sentiment pivot points. Obviously not all Chinese companies are frauds, nor as outsiders can any investors guarantee immunity.
However, when fears of small, obscure Chinese companies covered by second tier investment firms have shifted to higher tier companies with even more questionable unknowns, it could mark a cyclical inflection point. Remember it was a dozen years ago the Internet bubble started to unravel as sentiment gradually shifted away from larger names to more speculative companies which ultimately went bust. Only time will tell, but these events are worth noting from a historical point of view.
Disclosure: I am long TSL, SPRD.
Additional disclosure: No position in APWR.

Domestic Violence Expert Collaborates to Launch State-Wide Poster Campaign
Stephanie Angelo, SPHR, CEO of Human Resource Essential, LLC, has been selected to collaborate in the design and distribution of a state wide domestic violence awareness poster.
Her expertise in domestic violence's effects on the workplace, along with her strong ties to the business community, make her an ideal collaborator on this two year project. Angelo pioneered a process that translates domestic abuse to determine the financial impact on organizations. Her work saves US companies $7.9 M in lost workdays alone each year. Angelo is the co-author of the just released true crime memoir, Serrated – A True Story of Survival, Recovery and the Pursuit of Justice. Human Resource Essential is listed on the Family Violence Prevention Fund's web site as a National Workplace Resource. She has received Arizona Peace Officers Standards Training board (AZPOST) certification.
Angelo states, "Lost workdays and lost productivity are known as the biggest siphons of corporate profitability we have. These siphons usually are created by things that are happening outside the workplace. Small changes can have the biggest results, and employers are in the unique position to make those changes. That's why something as simple as a poster in the work place shows that family and intimate partner violence won't be tolerated; and as an employer, we'll do everything we can to assist employees who are plagued by this issue."
About the poster
The Avon Program for Women and Justice at O'Connor House was initiated through an Avon Foundation grant as part of the Speak Out Against Domestic Violence campaign. To encourage collaboration among policymakers, service providers, victims and the community to stop violence against women. The O'Connor House was founded in the name of former US Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor to be a center where civil talk leads to civic action. Justice O'Connor chose domestic violence to be the first issue addressed. The posters are free and may be ordered by logging onto the O'Connor House DV Poster website http://www.oconnordvposter.com.
To learn why clients are partnering with Human Resource Essential, contact Stephanie Angelo at (480) 726-9833 or learn more on her website http://www.hressential.com.

Letting My Writing Lie Fallow – By Harriet Chessman
Last June in my blog Life Happens, I berated myself for not writing by comparing myself to writers who write every day—no matter what. In the comments section, several writers wrote encouraging me to return to my writing. Author, Harriet Chessman also wrote: "I too can only write when my life has calmed and steadied. I've always been this way. I really feel that, in these times, I'm filling up with life. Or sometimes my metaphor is that I'm letting my lands lie fallow…"
Inspired by Harriet, I reached out to her and asked if she'd share more in my Authorly Advice blog. Thank you, Harriet for sharing your wisdom with my readers and me.
Thank you to the wonderful Ana McCracken for bringing me on board this website! I loved Ana's blog post about what a challenge it can be to continue writing each day, especially in the face of something major happening in one's life. I wrote her a comment about how I often let my writing lie fallow, and she suggested that I develop this comment into a post. So here it is!
I have always written best when I have felt ready to write. (more…)

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Humorist Garrison Keillor still plans to start his new season of A Prairie Home Companion as scheduled in just over two weeks, despite suffering a minor stroke.
Keillor had the stroke and was admitted to Saint Marys Hospital at Mayo Clinic, said Karl Oestreich, a spokesman for the Rochester, Minnesota facility. He will remain there until Friday for tests "and upon his release will resume his schedule as previously planned," Keillor spokesman David O'Neill said.
"He is up and moving around, speaking sensibly, working at a laptop," Oestreich said in a statement to The Associated Press.
O'Neill said in an e-mail that Keillor "is doing well and the family appreciates the warm wishes."
In a statement, Keillor said he was "feeling ill" on Monday morning and drove himself to United Hospital in St. Paul, where he lives, then was transferred to Mayo "simply because they know so much more about me down there."
Keillor, 67, underwent surgery to repair a heart valve at the Mayo Clinic in 2001.
"I am in the hands of smart and compassionate people and plan to get out on Friday and get right back to work," including the opening of a new season of A Prairie Home Companion, Keillor said. "And that's the news from here."
Mayo Clinic initially said Keillor was hospitalized Sunday, but Keillor's publicist said it was Monday.
Keillor is scheduled to open the new season of A Prairie Home Companion on Sept. 26 from the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul.
He celebrated Prairie Home's 35th anniversary with a Fourth of July performance before some 10,000 people in Avon, a central Minnesota town that helped inspire his fictional hometown of Lake Wobegon. He performed last Friday night at the Minnesota State Fair.
Some 4 million people listen each week to A Prairie Home Companion on nearly 600 public radio stations in the U.S.

Highland Springs, Va. wide receiver Deon Miller continues to hold one offer from the MAC. The 6-foot-5, 185-pounder is waiting for more offers and believes two other schools could come in the future.
"I've got the offer from Temple and am waiting right now for others," he said. "I'm hearing from Virginia and Virginia Tech. Both of them just want to see how I do this season."
Miller is also looking at taking a visit to his lone offer.
"I'm trying to get on a visit up to Temple to see how it is," he said. "I'll probably go up sometime in the next month."
Does that mean the two-star prospect could be close a decision after the visit to Philadelphia?
"I'll probably wait it out until after the season to see what happens with everyone else," he said. "Right now I'm just working hard in the weight room and working with my team."

we had problem to find the hotel, the gps didnt find the adress
They claim that they have wifi in the rooms, but they do not.
Found hotel was not what it use to be and has changed ownership staff not interested in customers needsnothing else to say poor everything
Visited Aosta and it was beautiful.
Convenient location for transit, next to highway. Large room, clean. Very unpersonal look and feel. Very average breakfast. Noisy area (highway, aerodrome), opening a window is not an option. I wanted to work a few hours and the wifi was not working ("we had heavy rains 2 days ago...").
Very nice design-hotel with great rooms and one of the best breakfasts I have had. A little bit outside of the city of Aosta but convenient location next to the main roads, but stil very quiet.
Nice design interior. Beautiful mountain view. Good access to Cervino and mont blanc. Access to the hotel was not so easy from freeway. No restaurant nearby.
Very convenient, comfortable and design rooms, nice staff, nice rooms like mountain individual chalets in a little park Too close to the main road
Excellent service and just off the motorway but peaceful. Chalets tastefully decorated and furnished. Insufficient lighting in the chalet
The atmosphere was great and we believe that it is even greater during the winter months when the landscape is all covered in snow. Furthermore parking was very convenient as we could literally step out of the front door of the chalet directly into the driver's seat of the car. This applies to all chalets at this hotel and not just to the one we were given. Breakfast was a typical continental cold buffet with ample amounts of food and a decent selection of foods to choose from. Overall it was a great stay, pity we were to stay for only one night as we had to move on.
decoration and village spirit near the highway
Very friendly and helpful staff.Recommended!
Friendly staff, quiet, nice bathroom, nice view of the mountains.
the staff were excellent and friendly and very very helpful with giving tourist information.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
The room was perfect: a place for everything and very comfortable. Bathroom immaculate and modern. Buffet breakfast was excellent and the warm welcome in this family establishment was very nice. A good stop-over or a nature trip.
Good and responsive personnel, clean rooms, very very good breakfast with local cheese.
The hostess was very friendly and made us feel welcome. She gave us all the information she could about the area.
Warm welcome, spotless interior, brand new rooms and hallways. Speaking English is not good enough for communication. It's good that they have PC in the reception area and we used Google.translate to talk :) It was quite funny, though.
Beautiful hotel, warm atmosphere, comfortable rooms and nice and helpfull staff The road nearby the hotel is a bit noisy so we had to keep the windows closed during the night

The Power of Gratitude in the Workplace
"If [thankfulness] were a drug it would be the world's best-selling product with a health maintenance indication for every major organ system."
~ Dr. P. Murali Doraiswamy. ~
Client Malcom Asks: There's such a grumpy mood in the office. Everyone seems so negative… and with all the news you can't blame them. What's one thing I can do to add some positive energy and get us all more upbeat? How can I turn my current job into my dream job.
Coach Joel Answers: If you're you trying to change your attitude, and feel better both physically and mentally, I have a solution. It sounds simple, but hear me out.
Scientific studies back up what I'm about to tell you. The answer is gratitude.
First, I'm going to tell you what it does for you. Then I'll tell you how to get it… and more importantly keep it.
You see, the things we focus on, enlarge. The more you… and the office… focus on negative things, the larger and more powerful they are. With that negativity comes increased stress and all the illnesses that accompany that.
- Physical Benefits of Gratitude
When you start to fill your mind with positive things, you are happier and healthier. Amazingly, focusing on gratitude doesn't just make you feel better, it actually makes things better. Your physical health, emotional and mental health, clarity of thought, fewer aches and pains, better sleep—all come with gratitude!
Gratitude actually changes the way your body works. It lowers cortisol and slows the inflammatory immune system. It can moderate blood pressure and blood sugar levels and adjust mood neurotransmitters. Duke University studies have measured the effects of gratitude in these areas.
Can you see the increase in workplace energy that would come as everyone felt better physically?
- Emotional Benefits of Gratitude
But there are also emotional benefits. When people focus on gratitude they are happier and more willing to help others. It can translate into confidence. People feel more valued and appreciated. They see that they are moving toward success.
This change can make your office alive with possibilities and energy. Chances are you'll feel more creative. And studies show gratitude increases feelings of cooperation and help build stronger teams.
Why does it work?
Again, that which you focus on gets stronger. Neuropsychologist Rick Hanson says that focusing on gratitude creates neural pathways in the brain that become superhighways to happiness and inner strength.
And when the brain changes, behaviors change. You take better care of yourself. Your stress level goes down. You stay healthy. You feel better. You have more energy to accomplish more things. You create a dynamic workplace that's fun to work in.
How can I make it work for me?
The good news is that it's easy to get started. Start looking for things to be grateful for. When you look, you'll see them. Here are additional ways to bring gratitude into your life and the life of your office.
1. Hold yourself accountable. Keep a daily gratitude journal and commit to writing at least three things you're grateful for each day. Every day. They don't have to be big things. It might be a sunset, or getting the lights all green or doing well on a presentation.
2. Say thank you. And mean it. Show appreciation for all the small things people do for you at work. Thank the person who held the door open for you. Send a note of appreciation to the co-worker who helped you with a project. You feel good and you make someone else feel good.
3. Continually look for things to appreciate. Decide to tell one of your co-workers, your spouse, or friend something you appreciate about them every day. If you believe in a higher power, spent time sending appreciation that way.
4. Give thanks for what you have. Realize you have more than 9/10th of the rest of the world according to Forbes Better Life Index. You're even better off than the richest 10% in France, Japan or Italy. When you find yourself dissatisfied or focusing on what you lack, stop and be grateful for what you have.
While it won't happen overnight, you can expect to feel happier and more enthusiastic sooner than you might imagine as you consciously practice gratitude. The longer you focus on gratitude the more you will find health and happiness benefits.
You and your co-workers will create a more vibrant, energetic office as they join you in strengthening the gratitude pathways of the mind.
Tired of your office atmosphere and looking to feel better about it? Contact Joel for personal help to put gratitude to work in your life and office.

Motivational Speaker to Enhance Personal Growth & Communication
"Recognize, manage and master your beliefs. They aren't genetic. They are choices. Choose ones that serve you."
~ Christopher Babson ~
Larry felt he was out of ideas. He put in his time at work, but he found so much to frustrate him he got to the point where he almost didn't care anymore. He knew he needed an attitude adjustment. He wanted a way to get enthusiastic and happy with his job.
But he wasn't getting any help from work or family, or anyone. Finally Larry decided to take action on his own. He signed up to hear a motivational speaker. Larry wasn't sure what to expect. What he got was beyond anything he imagined.
The motivational speaker helped both his professional and personal growth. He learned things he could use at work and in all the other areas of his life.
- Real, actionable information. Larry learned things about thought patterns and road blocks he'd been putting in front of himself. This information freed him to explore new ways. It was like a door opened to new opportunities both at work and in his personal life.
- Guidance and direction. Larry recognized he'd been lacking direction. The fixes offered by the motivational speaker were things Larry could apply immediately. He felt like he left with an achievable game plan.
- Communication. Larry learned where he was failing to communicate well. He immediately saw how that was making work more difficult. He also saw how these new skills would help him with his wife and children. He knew as he made these changes he would be more effective. It was exciting to feel himself growing and changing so quickly.
- Enthusiasm. Something about the motivational speaker was contagious. As Larry sat in the room he felt his life expanding. It was such a change to feel good about life! He knew this was what he'd been missing. He felt like he was learning enough that he could maintain these feelings of enthusiasm and excitement.
- Attitude. Larry felt a personal change in attitude. He determined to stop blaming others and focus on the things he could control. The speaker helped him see how an adjustment in his attitude could change the way he viewed both home and work.
- Focus. Instead of taking a scattered approach to what he learned, Larry decided to focus on the things that would make the most difference in his personal growth. He knew if he could change some of his habits and behaviors, it would show improvement in all areas of his life.
Larry left the seminar eager to get started. "I honestly felt like a new person," Larry said. "I knew I could not keep on this high forever, but for me it was a game changer."
Larry listed the new skills and ways to communicate. Each week he took one of the skills and worked to master it. "It's really made a difference in all areas of my life," Larry said. "I expected the motivational speaker to help with work. And it did. I'm so much happier there. But I was surprised at how much I grew personally. My wife and kids really like the new me."
If you are looking for personal growth, increased enthusiasm, guidance, direction and actionable skills, go listen Joel, a great motivational speaker. Contact Joel to learn where he is speaking next.

7 Competencies Successful HR Executive MUST Know
"Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstance."
~ Bruce Barton ~
Client Amanda Asks: I know the face of HR is changing. It's really important for me to be on top of the game. What competencies will insure my success as an HR executive?
Coach Joel Answers: You are right on target, Amanda. There is ongoing evaluation of what an HR executive should do or be.
Perhaps one of the most innovative is the change from task orientation to influencer. Executives no longer just apply the decisions of company management, they help create change. They strategize, and help shape the company culture.
Here are seven traits that will keep you in the forefront of all human resources executives.
1. Business knowledge. The bottom line fundamentals of business are essential for every executive, regardless of area of expertise. HR leaders are no exception. You need to understand the value of your business. You must be able to explain the value and business model to others.
And, of course, you need skills to keep you current with business technology. Know the latest in software and hardware to be efficient and innovative.
2. Company culture. In the past, you lived with the company culture. Now, you will get ahead if you help to shape that culture. You know the values that keep talent and those that push them away.
Help form a company culture that will attract and keep the finest employees. Help your people understand the culture. Assist them to apply it to advance their success as well.
3. People Management. Of course this is the traditional strength of HR. You must implement workplace policies. Know best practices for hiring, payroll, employee assessments and so on.
Understand the administrative side and oversee the day-to-day work of the people in the company.
4. Strategy expert. This is a new area of competency for HR executives. You will join with management in executing strategy. You'll assist other managers and leaders to help them make the right changes happen. They may look to you for guidance in moving from vision to reality as it applies to your human resources.
5. Be credible. Ethics matter. HR executives may be the standard bearer for integrity. When people know they can trust you, you gain respect. Then you will be listened to.
You'll have a chance to offer points of view. This is part of the new competencies. You may take a position and actually challenge assumptions. You are in a place to influence people and policy, but it takes credibility and integrity to make it work for you
Gain that credibility as you deliver results, share information, and build relationships of trust. Then use that credibility to influence others.
6. Organizational designer. In HR, a successful executive knows organizational theory. They do the research to tailor it to their company. They don't just do things because they've always been done that way. They plan the best organization and then work to implement it.
It may be a matter of designing a motivating rewards system. You may implement successful feedback and reviews. Or design a mentoring program or cross pollination to increase your talent pool.
7. Talent management. Traditionally and always, a core competency of every successful HR executive centers around succession planning. You need to ensure both today's quality workers and tomorrow's talent. You'll create systems for recognizing and developing talent. You'll reward that talent.
Amanda, if you master these seven competencies you will be a powerful HR executive. Success will come your way. You'll have the admiration of others and be a strong influence in your company.

5 Ways Team Building Activities can Benefit Your Company
"Remember upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all."
~ Alexander the Great ~
During the past few decades, corporations have changed the environments of their workplace; they have switched from a very competitive environment to a cooperative one. Why would they want to do this? Competition sparks motivation, which means more productivity, right?
This may very well be true; however, the benefits of having a cooperative work environment outshine those of a competitive one any day.
A cooperative work environment leaves room for team building activities and personal effectiveness. In return, team building activities lead to many amazing changes at the office.
1. Increases Creativity
Often times, employees are stuck in a groove where they perform the same type of tasks in the same manner from week to week. These actions allow for little to no creativity because they create a cycle where the employee feels stuck.
Team building activities have the ability to change this because they remove employees from their regular day-to-day tasks by giving them a not-so-ordinary project, which gives them the ability to use their imagination to find a solution.
In the end, team building activities show employees that creativity is welcome at the office. Letting employees know that creativity is not only welcomed but also encouraged at work should be a goal for employers because creativity can lead to innovation, which leads to higher productivity.
2. Team Building Activities Will Boost Employee Engagement
Communicate is key to success. If you want to have a successful relationship with your family, significant other, or friends, you need to foster communication with them and the same goes for a successful workplace.
Moreover, team building activities lead to employee engagement, which leads to increased productivity. Employee engagement and effective communication go hand-in-hand. Those who feel like they can communicate effectively with their co-workers will be more likely to promote employee engagement.
Often times, firms experience the opposite of this and the result is catastrophic; co-workers end up working against each other, which puts the company in jeopardy. However, when paired into teams, co-workers work together to reach the same goals.
3. Increase Profits
The end goal for a company is to make profits, right? Most likely the answer to that question is yes; however, if a company solely focuses on that aspect, they will be destined to fall apart. Instead, firms can focus on employee satisfaction and their happiness.
When firms focus on activities that promote employee satisfaction and engagement, they are more likely to have a smaller employee turnover. Having a high employee turnover is bad news for a company; it means that they are losing thousands of dollars in recruiting and training and it also means that their employees are unhappy.
Employees are more focused on productivity when they are satisfied with their work environment. Therefore, it is key to ensure a creative and healthy company culture that promotes effective communication through team building activities.
What Are Your Thoughts?
There are tons of other reasons why team building activities benefit companies. Can you name a few? Leave your suggestions and questions in the comment section below!

Setting Work Performance Goals
with Your Employees
"Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment"
~Jim Rohn~
Setting Work Performance Goals with Your Employees
If you are in a leadership position, you are constantly faced with the challenge of keeping your employees motivated and productive. Most companies use work performance goals as a means of evaluating employees. However, from the employee's point of view, they are often looked on as an arbitrary and rigid means of doling out raises. That is because many organizations fail to use goals properly.
Goals are most effective when the individual expected to meet them has a part in setting them. As a manager it is important to put yourself in the place of the employee and ask yourself these basic questions:
- What kind of goals would motivate me in this position?
- What sort of goals would make me happier and more productive in this position?
With these two questions in mind and with the help of the following pointers, employees will no longer view goals as mere management tools but rather as they should be: personal motivators for success that can help your employees succeed.
1. Include employees in the process
But give them guidance along the way. As their manager, you know best what they need to achieve in order to meet company objectives. But having them contribute to their own goal setting in a meaningful way will also help motivate them to meet the performance goals for their jobs. Failing to reach a goal we set for ourselves is always harder to swallow than failing to reach a goal we think leadership arbitrarily set for us. On a side note, having the employee help set goals will give you valuable insight into what motivates each individual.
2. Set deadlines
Open-ended goals promote procrastination. Many companies employ quarterly goals in conjunction with long-term annual goals. However, short-term goals will also provide an ongoing metric of the employee's progress. Deadlines should also be set according to the rhythm of the metric they measure. For example, if you are servicing clients on monthly contracts then the goals should naturally have a monthly deadline. In such a case, weekly or bi-weekly goals will help the employee keep on track with reaching their objectives.
3. Make goals measurable
For goals to work they must be tied to some quantifiable data. That way when the deadline arrives there is no question whether the goal was reached or not. If you are unsure of how to measure success, enlist the help of your employee.
4. Give feedback
Regular feedback is vital in helping your employees reach the goals set for their work performance. When speaking to them, look for opportunities to give encouragement. But don't allow the feedback to be one-sided. Listen to any concerns or suggestions the employee may have. Open communication may make the difference between a goal that is simply reached and one that is blown out of the water.
5. Reward success
Make the reward worth the work needed to obtain it. Again, consider what the employee will value. Some employees respond to cash incentives, extra time off, or gift cards. Others may prefer the public recognition of receiving an award. Who wouldn't like to display an art glass award on their desk? Allowing the employee to help determine the reward will motivate them to work toward achieving it. Get creative and change rewards frequently so they don't become routine.
6. Tweak as needed
Some goals will remain the same as long as the company is in business. These strategic goals reflect the core values of the company. But many goals are dynamic and should reflect the changing responsibilities and talents of the employee. Pin job performance goals to areas where the employee can improve. Finally, as the employee gains experience and additional responsibilities, make sure their goals grow with them.
A note on failure:
If an employee fails to meet their goals, it is not the end of the world. Of paramount importance is the attitude of the employee. Did their failure result from a lack of activity, or did they give their best but simply come up short? If an employee has put forth noticeable effort and still failed it would be counterproductive for a manager to humiliate or punish them. Failure from inactivity is what should be punished.
Performance goals are a benchmark of success. As long as an employee continues putting forth effort to reach them, they should continue to receive support from their managers. If you are having a hard time with this idea, consider some of the great failures in history. These would include the likes of Einstein, da Vinci, and Michael Jordan. Although known for their successes, these individuals had greater failure rates than their peers. But they kept striving toward their goals and eventually reached them.

What should I do with my new veneer? (Photo)
Doctor Answers 4
Unhappy with porcelain #veneers #DrSoftTouch
The best thing to do is return to the dentist who placed your veneers to discuss your concerns. Did you approve your veneers before hand? I always recommend okaying your restorations before having them permanently bonded. That way, any necessary changes to shade, shape and fit can easily be made. At this point, any major changes would require your dentist remaking your veneers. I understand that at this point you are probably frustrated but the best option for you is to see you dentist as soon as you can. Believe it or not, dentists want their patients to be happy with their results. I hope this helps. Follow me for more questions and answers.

it's important that all patients are happy with their final results . But without propper treatment planning from the onset, it is not always easy to achieve the results you desire . I do not know your before aesthetics , and the time frame you were in temporaries . But our goal in creating new smiles is to not create new problems that did not exist or create a smile with open embrasures at the gum line. Aesthetics cases can be difficult if you are in temporaries too long because tissue levels change creating unwanted spaces . If the office does not have an in house ceramist to correct the problems noticed during the Tryin prior to final cementation it is difficult to address the concern without your interaction.
I would meet with your dentists and discuss your concerns , I'm sure he will be happy to help you with correcting your problems
Unhappy with Porcelain veneers
What I would suggest is to go back to your dentist and have him check the bite on the back of your front teeth. If the bite is off, it can make teeth sensitive, loose and create gap.

Unhappy with porcelain veneers, what should I do?
You should first schedule an appointment with your dentist to discuss your concerns and see what he is willing to do. Did he show you the veneers on your teeth before they were permanently bonded, and if so, did you sign off your approval? My philosophy is that I want my patients to be happy with their results, If this requires redoing a case to satisfy a valid concern, I will redo at no charge to the patient. If the patient approved the case before permanent placement and then changed their mind, I may or may not charge a fee depending on if their concerns are reasonable and if I can improve the results by redoing. Happy patients refer, unhappy patients do not. So it behooves a dentist to address patient's concerns and be so happy with results that they become a raving fan of their dentist.

You can also open the boot and bonnet may also be opened, and you'll find the tank and a spare tire in the boot.
The remote control lets you switch on the front and rear lamps, set the blinker, beep the horn and the sound the engine. When you're ready to take it for a spin, you can reach speeds of up to 1.8 miles per hour.
A great way to kill time at the office, you can set up your motor rallies, as the 4-channel remote control allows four vehicles to race against each other. It comes with a rechargeable lithium battery with 550 mA-h supplies power for about 30 minutes of driving fun. It takes about 2 to 3 hours to recharge and the sounds can be switched off. The remote Porsche 356 A Coupé retails for around £169 (about $260).

At a recent event, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena Chief Raj Thackeray slammed Bollywood's superstar Salman Khan for his tweet in favour of Yakub Memon ahead of his execution on July 30. Raj said that Salman is a man without brains.
Raj Thackeray said, "Salman is a man without brains, while his father is a respectable man. He does not read newspapers and does not know the law and thus went on tweeting in his (Yakub's) favour. ''
He further added, ''Then there are people who sent letters to the President seeking mercy for the traitor. How can anybody question a Supreme Court order?"
Salman Khan To Play Villain In Kick 2
Talking about Yakub Memon, Salman Khan had written on micro blogging site Twitter, "Hang Tiger. Brother is being hanged for Tiger. Arre Where is Tiger? Get tiger hang him. Parade him not his brother."
The Bajrangi Bhaijaan superstar even called Yakub an innocent man and tweeted, "One innocent man killed is killing the humanity."

The chance discovery of a baby dinosaur skeleton by a Utah high schooler is being hailed as a paleontological breakthrough. The National Journal reports that student Kevin Terris was poking around Grand Staircase-Escalante Monument in southern Utah in 2009 when something caught his eye. "At first I was interested in seeing what the initial piece of bone sticking out of the rock was," Terris said. "When we exposed the skull, I was ecstatic!" Terris had stumbled upon a near-pristine skeleton of a baby Parasaurolophus, a herbivorous dinosaur that existed roughly 75 million years ago.
If you want the kids to get good math scores, start them early. Livescience.com reports on a new Duke University study indicating that an infant's sense of numbers at six months is a reliable predictor of how proficient that child will be at math by the time he or she reaches age three. The study initially focused on a group of four dozen six-month olds with emphasis on their "primitive number sense," or how well they could differentiate between groups of different numbers of items. Researchers followed up with the same kids when they were 31/2. The results: Those kids with a stronger number sense as babies performed far better on math tests later. "It may explain some of the differences in how easy children find it to learn," said Duke psychology and neuroscience professor Elizabeth Brannon.
In the not-too-distant future, Australia will be known as the land of kangaroos, koalas and video gamers. As reported by gamespot.com, video games are a rapidly growing presence in Australian households. Recent research from the consumer group Digital Report Australia concentrated on 1,220 households comprising 3,398 males and females of varying ages. The study revealed that seven in 10 Australians regularly play console video games, with the age of the average gamer being 32. Report author Dr. Jeff Brand of Queensland's Bond University said the profile of the Aussie gamer was "nearly synonymous with the profile of the typical Australian."

Great Gag Gifts-Have Fun With Farts and Bingo
"Fanny" Bank
I was going through my mail the other day and found I had received a Harriet Carter catalogue. For those of you who may not know, Harriet Carter has been selling "distinctive gifts since 1958". It sells many household and garden gadgets that make life easier...or is just sooo cute you can't live without it!
Imagine my delight when I found the "Fanny Bank". Not only do I get a savings bank, but I also get a bonus rude sound maker. I just can't wait to start dropping some coins into this bank. I love the slogan, "Add more loot, hear more toot".
Saving is Such a Pain in the Fanny!
Steam Inhaler
Here is a must-have item for anyone who suffers from allergies and nasal congestion. This amazing device clears your nasal passages without the use of drugs! I can just see myself sitting down to movie with family and friends while using this amazing product.
So much more appealing than the sniffles!
Butler Bath Set
Always wanted a butler, and never could afford one? I know I have. Now you can get your butler, however, he will only serve your toilet. Sit on his head for revenge!
Don't wait for this guy to answer your door!
Neti Pot
That's right, it's cold season. Don't you wish you could just rub on a magic lamp and ask the genie to loosen up those clogged nasal passages. Well, here is an item that is almost that easy! (Just don't drown yourself accidentally.)
Wish your nasal congestion away!
Bingo Masks
Love playing Bingo, but don't feel as if you fit in with the crowd? These masks are just what you need.
Farting Slippers
Last, but not least, farting slippers. Now no-one will be able to tell if it was you or your slippers. Fart out loud!
For a Farting Good Time!
Have Fun!
My children and I were rolling on the floors with some of the comments these items generated. If you want some inexpensive fun, look through the Harriet Carter catalogue next time one unexpectedly shows up at your home!
Pick Your Favorite
Which gift do you like best?
Oh, k@ri!! I LOVE this hub!!! I, too, get Harriet Carter magazines, but I've been too busy of late to look at them. You've inspired me to take the time to take a peek. And maybe buy a gift or two.
Happy Valentine's Day!!!
Hahaha Nice hub k@ri! I like the butler one the best! I just might buy that one:)
I don't know, multimastery. That's one place I don't like the feeling that someone is staring at me! ;-)
I kinda like the Bingo masks...but somehow I'm thinking you'd be escorted out if you tried to wear them to an actual bingo game. I'm guessing it's more of a Halloween thang. :)
Hey k@ri
These are indeed fun gifts and you're description of each made it even funnier! Thanks for sharing this. :D
Now I'm off to choose which one I liked the best....
Sounds like my kind of dinner, k@ri!
hahahaha. Interesting items. I guess, I want the butt bank.
I'll take the bank, too. The butler is hilarious--for someone's bathroom I'm not going to use!!!
Oh the butler! Let's see if he's gonna be all snooty after! LOL :D
Okay, I really want to know who voted for the butler set. That just cracks me up! I would like to order the slippers for a friend......
I don't think I would be able to hold a straight face, Chris, if I saw what that butler will have to see.
I admit, twas me who picked the butler - he made me laugh the hardest!
LOL PM! He can choose to close his eyes if he so desires! :D
Yes, but without hands, how will he hold his nose?
LOL on the vote, Chris. We'll have to see how this all pans out......
The Butler is the Coolest hands down!-)
I just went to a website catering to pranks to order some Crime Scene tape for a Murder Mystery Party my daughter is hosting. Upon checkout, I got this "notice" that I qualified for some special purchases.
Can you guess what one of my options was??????
The Butt Bank! For a steal at $10. I restrained the urge to add it to my cart, though. And sorry, the butler wasn't offered.
I couldn't think of anyone to give it to, and I didn't have Chris A's address!! :-)))
These are so funny!!! I have seen some strange gag gifts over the years, but these are hilarious!! For Christmas, every year, the adults in my family gave each other gag gifts! It was great!
Hi K@ri! I have never heard of Harrie Carter before. So this is quite interesting. :-) I have heard of the neti pot and they say it's pretty good for helping clogged sinuses. So I would find that helpful. But the butler in my bathroom made me really laugh!
Congratulations again for being part of this week's hubnuggets nominees. Click this link to join: https://hubpages.com/community/hubnuggets-feb20-20
Hey guys, if you enjoyed k@ri's hub why don't you show your support by voting and joining the hubnuggets fun. Spread the word. :-) Enjoy voting. It's your hubbers right! :-)
Great hub, I love the fanny bank, congrats on the hubnugget nomination, I look forward to reading more.
Hi K@ri, I think the kids in our preschool would love the fanny bank. You know I can just imagine their faces when they hear the sounds every time they save. LOL Now come to think of it, I would like to have one just for fun. Hahaha
Whot! I neeeeeed those slippers! :D
Since I am partially self-employed, I regard my bathrobe as my "official company outfit" and am already considering ordering one with my logo on.. (gotta have a dress code, right?) ;)
Those things will bring it all together..
Haha, I've seen a vid on youtube about the pot... (Someone tried to use coffee instead of water.)
This one is just hysterical. I get the Harriet Carter, but never thought to share the funny stuff here. Great idea!
I get a kick out of paging through the Harriet Carter catalogs. You've picked out some of the highlights for sure!
I've never heard of this company - they produce some fantastic useless tat, though (-:
there is a similar uk shop - www.iwantoneofthose.com
From memory, their slogan is, "things you don't need, but really really want"
I have a lot of those things...I don't need, but I want. They usually end up in my storage shed..... :-))
I didn't know anyone kept a car in a garage. I thought they were all full of bikes, dried-up paint tins, and broken radios.
I used to live in NM, but I brought all my junk with me--then bought more.....
I just checked their site, and it's "stuff you don't need, but really really want", not "things you don't need".
For example, a "Dead Fred" pen holder:
A Margaret Thatcher nut cracker:
A person knife block:
And a binary clock:
I actually got my uncle (a maths freak and clock collector) the binary clock, and he loves it.
well these sounds really funny....must be good gift for someone.....great ideas...thanx for sharing lol....well what about this one for gifting someone?
https://hubpages.com/technology/24-carat-gold-and-... or
i am sure you will be amazed after watching this....have fun
perhaps I should....
Great for birthdays haha i love it,
k@ri --- did you notice on the Margaret Thatcher nutcracker site it says "not suitable for voodoo ceremonies"? I nearly spat up on the cat laughing
OK, OK, I will. In fact, I've started lol
cool -- see what you've started, k@ri?
Hell yeah, I'd buy them!
I'm gone for a day, and look at the fun you're having!!!
Have to go check out brittney's links.
And EVERYONE needs a Margaret Hatcher nut cracker!!!!
I finally did the UK version - as requested!
very funny stuff LOL
That might work!
Good hub. I have a few people in mind for these 'perfect' gifts.
Finally...I can play Bingo without looking like a cybernetic alien! ;D
hehe great hub! bingo i love!!!! farts too! :D

So if it is Microsoft stopping you, it leads me to believe Microsoft has take some legal action to prevent the Apache Foundation from using a compiler any newer then VC6. Is that the case? With the tidbit of info you provided me about using the WDK libraries to link EXE/DLL's using the MSVCRT, I had started to believe it was because the Apache Foundation did not want to add the dependency of one of the newer runtimes. For the record, I found this blog about it. http://kobyk.wordpress.com/2007/07/20/dynamically-linking-with-msvcrtdll-using-visual-c-2005/ I have succeeded in linking sqlite3 to use MSVCRT with VS2008. Currently I am working on getting Axis2/C to link to the older runtime. Then I am going to move on to compile the ARP's sqlite3 driver to use MSVCRT. So from a technical standpoint, this is most definitely possible. Sam

Picture PerfectVideo provided by: TruthMedia Films
If you want to know God, it's simple. All you need to do is ask!
If you're not sure how, you can pray a prayer like this:
God I need you. Please forgive me for the things I've done. Forgive me for turning my back on you and going my own way. Take control of my life and make me more like you. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. Thank you for your love. Amen.
When you scroll through your social media feeds, what do you see?
We love to 'like' photos of sleeping babies, mouthwatering meals, and smiling couples.
You don't see pictures of those same babies screaming at two in the morning, Mama bargaining for sleep. You don't see too many people captioning photos of the dishes left in the sink after that delicious meal has been made. You definitely don't see any 7-second videos of couples fighting, or cheating, or wondering whether they'll be able to make rent this month.
Who wants to see that?
With everyone showcasing their highlight reels, it's easy to focus on our own behind-the-scenes footage and compare. In an effort to make it look like we've got it all together, we push the mess out of the frame when we share our lives with others; we wipe away tears and reapply mascara before we smile for a selfie. We strive to at least look like the picture-perfect versions of ourselves so that when the world looks on, they see something worth their approval.
Does this sound like you? Do you long for something more?
What Jennifer says in this video is true: no amount of 'likes' will to satisfy us. There is only one way to fill our bottomless need for love and acceptance and it is through the person of Jesus Christ, who created us for Himself.
I used to think that there were only a few things in life worth sharing: my achievements, excitement and happiness.
I became so good at putting first my best features that it almost seemed rehearsed, and when played in reverse it was plain to see the build up of debris hidden inside of me.
I wanted it to seem as if I had everything worked out, even though every single day I was striking out.
My failures, fears and despair were things I couldn't bear to share so I had to cover them up and hide it all behind a mask hoping that no one would ask.
I was empty.
It became routine to clean only what could be seen, like shoving the dirty dishes out of sight and wishing even I could forget about the fights that happened every single night.
I got so used to using an insincere smile to hide what's inside. Sometimes I would even lie awake at night thinking of ways to make myself fake in order to make up someone who matters.
But I was still empty.
Even when I could feel a moment of completeness, something came in to steal it.
Something must be missing.
I started to wonder if it was just me, if it was only me who had to struggle to be free from my own mistakes – putting everything at stake to be seen as that person who has everything all together.
But you see, I was searching for all the wrong things thinking that something could fill this empty feeling when it's really someone who brings fullness – it's Jesus.
What I never really realized before is that we were created to know God. We were made to have relationship with Him.
There was a time when humanity once walked with God, but chose to search for other things that would satisfy. We sinned.
We were created for a face-to-face relationship with God but now we're standing back to back with Him instead.
We did a complete 180!
The emptiness we feel, the unrelenting void that we just can't seem to avoid? We did that.
But you see it was never intended to be like this forever!
God sent Jesus to take our shame upon Himself. He died on the cross for our mistakes; He came to make us new.
He died, but He also rose again, not only defeating death but inviting us in. He brings freedom. And in case you were thinking He somehow forgot or misplaced you, turn around: He was there in the first place
We no longer have to hide behind a disguise of lies because Jesus' eyes don't look down on or despise, they aren't searching for the wise or trying to revise – they love.
He bestows grace upon grace upon grace until we are full to the brim without any more room to hold onto our past mistakes
You see, He loved us from the start. Even in our deepest, darkest moment of sin He still stood at the door knocking to be let in.
His grace made me new, and He will do the same for you too.
Jesus is the only one who brings fullness so stop searching for the one who is standing before you saying:
I choose you.
If you want, you can talk these things through with a mentor before you make this leap. You won't regret it.

Hi I have took time to read a lot of of what you have to say but I simply don't agree with what i have seen on this blog yes its true their is wroute to true freedom and it this you simply have to love each weather sinful or not and to believe in your self. The bible is merely a history book telling a story of mankind although its has changed over time the bible was writen by man as a route of control I have never in my met a true beliver I do believe in the man Jesus but to say he is the son god us rediculase consept put on us the very basic truth is no one can grant you forgiveness for your sins is one self and to allow your self to live without predudis of other's you say god true how can that be god is not of love its choice that's makes us whole by choice I mean that any man or Woman can ether choose to hate or love each other I have what some would call a sinner but to say that I need God's forgiveness is wrong I choose to forgive my self for my traspases and opened my heart to love and to be honest and true one self.Jesus was not reborn its his idea that everyone is equel and that no man should seek to inslave others.you continue to go on about the bible just what bible do you mean Jesus him self would slap you if he knew what some would try to make us believe Jesus words are just all men are equal black white gay strait its those who try to put their will apon us by these means that is the problem in this world to say that God only loves Christian people is the problem the Church is to blame for all the sinner's in this world and the day us coming when all will understand this ask your self this who rule the world today just look a the Vatican today they have the wealth to make a difference in the world but chose to do nothing about the war's in this world today and you ask us to show faith in a Church that has no love in its hart and keep the true word of Jesus hidin from us to keep control so you can take you sick ideals and shove then right up where they belong the Church is the problem not us who chose to believe in the words of Jesus that all humanity should be set free from bondage and free from persicution thats the true word of Jesus not this nonsense you're breaching. Frankly you anger us who wish to be free by your own believes that discrimates those who don't believe in you're so called one god that is the evil in this world.
I unconsciously offend people when I talk. I say to myself that it is defensive talk but I realize that I can be around people but not really connect. I realize that after a month at my new working place i offended in way or another most of the people working in my section. I want to change, I really need Jesus In my Life, I want to be happy from within
Why is it only God that can satisfy?
I wanna feel complete too!
Sorry I had a mistake where it says there I mean their
I felt that way as well but I have been a witness through trials of my own that all you need is God and Jesus Christ and faith there amazing love can come upon you to the point where you feel undeserving I had some traumatic things to deal with and without God and his son Jesus Christ carrying me I would not be here to state how amazing he is and all praises and thankfuliI am that I can say I am a child of God and to the best of my ability as so as it depend of me I will serve and honor them and follow there path of righteousness and Jesus name I hope this video will touch as many people as it can and allow a relationship with our Father to come in cause when he do he will do amazing things in there life ad well excellence video and may God bless you all

All students should know by now that the first excursion of the term to the village of Hogsmeade is scheduled for tomorrow morning, Saturday. All students planning to attend the trip (and that have proper permission) should be ready to go and in the Great Hall first thing in the morning.
-Hogwarts Administration-
((OOC notes: What does this mean, what does this mean? Well, a few of the players have been talking about the Hogsmeade trip so we mods figured we'd officially kick it off with this notice. Go ahead and roleplay whenever you want this weekend about your characters escapades in Hogsmeade- just know that they should all take place on Saturday. We just thought we'd get things rolling a little early because your mods are all rather busy this weekend. <3 ))
