What Is a Timeline?
A timeline is a type of graphic that arranges a chain of events in chronological order. Perfect for telling stories and visualizing projects and processes, timelines are generally used to:
- Give an overview of events;
- Detail an agenda;
- Highlight critical points in time;
- Depict different temporal relations;
- Track progress over time of multiple events happening simultaneously;
- Identify specific patterns within a course of procedure in a streamlined format.
What Should a Timeline Include?
Representing an alignment in time and making a chronological statement, a timeline should include the series of events and activities (milestones and tasks) that you want to display on your graphic, along with their dates to mark their occurrence over a particular phase.
Whether you employ this type of visual content for knowledge sharing or tracking the progress of a plan, here are the two main things you need to consider in order to outline the structure of a basic timeline:
- Listing out the main steps/stages of your plan and setting clear deadlines/time reference points – break up your work into tasks with start and due dates to estimate how much time each of them will take;
- Figuring out the logical order in which your tasks will occur – determine which of your tasks need to be completed first and whether there are any that can't start until others are completed.
How to Create a Timeline
Now that we've covered what a timeline is and should include, you can create one from scratch or starting from a template. There are a variety of purpose-built tools to help you achieve this goal, and one of most accessible ones is our online timeline maker, that you can try for free right from your browser.
If drafting a timeline from start to finish is too time-consuming, opting for a template might be the better alternative. Below, we've put together a varied collection of 10 timeline examples that you can customize depending on your needs to effectively convey project plans, team schedules or workflows, and other similar chronologies. These are:
All of them have been designed natively in PowerPoint so that you and any team member who uses the presentation platform can contribute, edit and share them with ease.
Each of the templates can be customized in PowerPoint either:
- by manually replacing the placeholder texts with your own data and restyling any colors, shapes, and positions;
- or automatically, by using a PowerPoint add-in called Office Timeline.
If you opt for the second option, you need to install Office Timeline, which will add a new tab to the PowerPoint ribbon.
Once the plugin is installed, follow these steps to quickly build, customize and update any of the timeline examples presented below:
- Click on the Download button under the template of your choice.
- Once downloaded, double-click to open it in PowerPoint.
- Select the Office Timeline tab on the PowerPoint ribbon, and then Click the Data Edit button.
- Edit the data with your own milestones and tasks.
- Click Save to instantly update the template.

My story is probably very similar to other women's stories. It started with dense breasts filled with cysts, went to being diagnosed with breast cancer to surgery, to chemo therapy to remaining treatment to survivorship. Looking back, it wasn't long but wow does it ever change your outlook on life! Now, everything means something to me! Every smile is cherished, every moment spent with loved ones is appreciated and every person in my life is treated like they are a special gift from God straight to me! So, my breast cancer taught me what is most important in life. I will not ever take anything, anyone, or any breath for granted and I will spend the rest of my time here on this planet proving that to everyone around me.

Robin Patchen on Interviewing Her Characters (Episode 22)
On this episode of "The Romantic Side of Suspense," I'm chatting with Robin Patchen. Aside from her family and her Savior, Robin has two loves—writing and traveling. If she could combine them, she'd spend a lot of time sitting in front of her laptop at sidewalk cafes and ski lodges and beachside burger joints. She'd visit every place in the entire world—twice, if possible—and craft stories and tell people about her Savior. Alas, time is too short and money is too scarce for Robin to traipse all over the globe, even if her husband and kids wanted to go with her. So she stays in Texas, shares the Good News when she can, and writes to illustrate the unending grace of God through the power and magic of story.
"The hardest part for me in writing romantic suspense is coming up with good plots," Robin said. "I really write small town romantic suspense, and I like my characters to all stay in the same town and know each other. But how many different ways can you put danger in a small town?"
Listen to the podcast for more from our interview, plus an excerpt from "A Glimmer in the Darkness" from Dangerous Deceptions.

With schools starting all over the country, school buses will be filled with students transitioning back to in-person education. As one of the most reliable and safest modes of transportation, parents feel confident their students will reach their intended destination both ways.
While school bus drivers practice all the rules of safety, there are a number of scenarios they face. Drivers who don't know, or choose not to follow those rules put themselves, and those students in danger. Understanding the rules of school bus etiquette can allay fears, cut down on the number of accidents on the road, and help ensure students remain safe throughout their trip.
Here's a quick reminder on the types of lights school bus drivers use and what they mean:
- Yellow Flashing Lights – Stopping momentarily
Anyone who sees this light should recognize the bus is slowing down and about to stop. These lights can be found on the upper body of the bus, alerting drivers that they have about 200 feet before bus stops. If they do not want to get caught behind the bus, this is the chance to safely go around if they can.
- Flashing Hazard Lights – Use caution when proceeding
These lights are near the bottom of the bus, by the taillights. They signify the bus has stopped, so students can board, but the bus is in an area where students may have to cross the street to get to the bus. Drivers can pass the bus during this interval but must be aware that children are in the vicinity, and they should be cautious and drive slowly.
This is the one most people notice – flashing red lights at the top of the bus, followed by a sign that sticks out on the side. That means stop. No maybe, no slow rolling. What most people don't know is that the stop works for both sides of the street. It doesn't matter if you're going in the opposite direction – you have to stop too. It's the LAW.
Adhering to the rules of the road will help keep students safe while reducing the possibility of an accident or ticket. School's back in. Set the right example.

Eptura Releases Core Plan For Midsize Organizations
Eptura Releases Core Solution to Help Midsize Organizations. Learn more.Learn More
By Devon Maresco
Marketing Coordinator
Biotech companies need to run lean. Even those that have marketable products and stable revenue can quickly find themselves in a financial crunch due to the sheer cost of research and innovation. Simply put: biotech by its very nature is a high-cost industry to be in. That makes it imperative to reduce costs wherever possible, including through smarter biotech space planning.
As is the case with most industries, the cost of facilities looms large for biotechs. Yet, biotech doesn't have the luxury of remote work or flex scheduling. Essential equipment and state-of-the-art facilities are often key to the success of the company. This means companies need to make the most of the space and capital assets they have to generate a higher ROI on the space they need. The answer to this balancing act comes in the form of space planning.
Better space planning ensures biotechs allocate space accordingly, to house the right personnel and equipment with efficiency. Moreover, it can reduce the total amount of space needed and shore up waste contributing to high overhead. Here's how space planning fits within the biotech model.
What is biotech space planning?
Biotech companies need to stay mission-focused. That means planning ahead for space allocation in facilities, to support the segments of business that'll help the company grow and become profitable. Whether it's allocating lab space for innovation or setting up a sales office to sell that solution, space planning is central to future success. There's no substitution for the right space—especially when it comes to activity-based work.
Space planning not only ensures everyone has enough space to do their part, it also improves company cost projections. Early stage biotechs have cash burn considerations and need to establish a hierarchy of needs for monthly operations. Facilities—and space specific to certain segments of business—are near the top of the pyramid. For example, lab space and sales. If you can't continue to develop a product or sell that product, you starve the company. Space planning ensures space to innovate and sell to keep building the runway.
Benefits of space planning for the biotech industry
Space planning gives biotech companies control over one of their biggest costs: facilities. In choosing how to devote space to different segments of operations, biotechs can put themselves in the best position to capitalize on the investment in a workplace. Some of the many benefits that come with proactive space planning include:
- Lab and research facilities become more accessible
- Researchers have the space they need to use capital equipment
- Reduction in the amount of space needed to conduct mission-critical operations
- The cost to the company drops as facility efficiency lowers burn rate
- Fewer overlaps and interruptions ensure smoother lab operations
- Enhanced safety, security, and privacy in well-orchestrated spaces
In essence, space planning is about utilizing a capital resource in the best way possible. Like a biotech might invest in lab equipment or research talent, its investment in facilities is also key in its success. And, like those other assets, how they're put to work matters in maximizing the ROI they offer.
How does biotech space planning software help?
Space planning for biotechs is nearly impossible without software to assist. There's simply too much involved in orchestrating biotech operations to approach a coordinated layout without digital tools to visualize it. Biotechs that try to plan on-the-fly will find themselves continually adjusting to avoid friction. Instead, space planning demands a methodical approach. Digital floor plan tools built in much of the trial and error into a sandboxing strategy, so the finished result is a verifiable concept of facilities.
After orchestrating the workplace layout, space planning software is also useful in managing and adapting it. Again, sandboxing changes before making them prevents unnecessary disruption to the workplace. Moreover, data collected through facilities management practices is readily available in space planning software, which brings better context and oversight to adjustments and floor planning.
Finally, space planning software is instrumental in mapping the trajectory of a growing biotech company. It's easy to see where vital operations take place and where there are opportunities to adjust the floor plan—whether to conserve costs or embrace growth. Biotechs can focus less on tiptoeing around mission-critical operations and instead, find targeted ways to support them through facility adjustments.
The path to more efficient innovation
For any biotech—no matter the specific area of focus—space and facilities are instrumental to success. By extension, that means efficient use of space is imperative. Biotechs need to engage in space planning to highlight areas of opportunity, to capitalize on space availability and reduce the cost of essential overhead.
Space planning software is a necessary investment for biotech companies that want to optimize facilities as a means to streamline the innovation that happens within them. By ensuring there's enough room for capital equipment, a skilled workforce, and essential workflows, biotechs can make the most of facilities that enable success.

Bianchi is one of the most prestigious brands for racing bikes.
Born in Milan 130 years ago, the brand mixes an artisanal approach with the most innovative research of contemporary design, promoting the tradition and the culture of biking in Italy and the world.
Our collaboration with Bianchi began with a redefinition of their online presence.
Together we set a media budget planning (programmatic and display) to reinforce their social media image, and we designed and developed their corporate website, tailoring the perfect online experience for such an historical brand.
Additionally, we improved the performance of their online Ad campaigns, re-launching Bianchi into digital through catchy copywriting, effective art direction and conversion-oriented web designing.
Finally, we supported Bianchi with a special social media campaign on the occasion of their partnership with the prestigious "Giro D'Italia".
We are currently working on the bianchistore.com e-commerce, giving the opportunity to old and new fans to customize and buy Bianchi's innovative bikes directly from their website.

La Jornada – The United States is facing food shortages due to Omicron and bad weather
Washington. Benjamin Whiteley went to the Safeway supermarket in Washington, D.C. to buy some things for dinner. But he was disappointed to find empty vegetable shelves and a meager amount of turkey, chicken and milk. "It looks like I didn't find anything," said White, 67. "Now I will have to look elsewhere."
This shortage is widespread nationwide and has affected all kinds of products, both basic necessities – meat, vegetables, milk and bread – as well as canned foods and cleaning supplies.
Consumer discontent has been repeatedly expressed on social media in recent days. It is an unprecedented scenario for stores in the United States, where the shelves of supermarkets in the largest economy in the world are usually overflowing.
Food shortages in supermarkets have worsened in recent weeks, as new problems, such as the omicron variant of the coronavirus and bad weather, have led to supply chain problems and labor shortages that have affected retailers since the coronavirus pandemic began.
US grocery stores typically have 5 to 10 percent of inventory, but that rate now hovers around 15 percent, said Jeff Freeman, president and CEO of the Consumer Brands Association.
Some of the shortages consumers see on store shelves are due to pandemic trends that never abated and were exacerbated by the omicron variable. Americans are eating more at home than they used to, especially since offices and some schools remain closed.
The average American family spent $144 a week last year on groceries, according to the International Monetary Fund, a trade organization for grocers and food producers. This is below the 2020 high of $161, but still well above the $113.50 for families that spent it in 2019.
The truck driver shortage that started before the pandemic remains a problem. In October, the American Trucking Association said the country had lost about 80,000 drivers, a record number.
Additionally, merchandise shipments continue to be delayed, affecting everything from imported products to packaging manufactured abroad.
As with hospital, school and office staff, the omicron variant wreaked havoc on food production lines. Sean Connolly, president and CEO of Conagra Brands, which makes frozen Birds Eye vegetables, Slim Jim steak snacks and other products, told investors last week that supplies from the company's U.S. plants will be limited at least next month due to absences. related to. for the omicron variable.
In addition, weather-related events, from snowstorms in the northeastern United States to wildfires in Colorado, have affected product availability and caused some customers to buy more than usual, exacerbating supply problems caused by the pandemic.

In an unusual sex-discrimination lawsuit, a federal judge barred the University of Virginia from having a hearing for a former student accused of rape, as a consequence of which his degree might be withheld, saying the institution might not have authority to punish him for the alleged incident that occurred off campus.
There are three facts to note here. First, the accused student had completed his studies and was all but done, awaiting commencement ceremonies and receipt of his diploma. Second, the alleged non-consensual sex occurred two years earlier. Third, the purported "victim" wasn't a student and the sex occurred off-campus.
Nonetheless, Judge Conrad went through the motions of taking UVA's argument seriously. Why?
The court recognizes that the University has a "strong interest in maintaining campus safety and disciplining students who have committed sexual misconduct."
This is one of those generic arguments of "interest" that reflect the dreaded notion of "remember the rubric, forget the rationale." The entire notion of colleges becoming sex police of their students is itself attenuated from Title IX, which prohibits nothing more than "sex discrimination." But it does not prohibit sex discrimination in some existential way, but as the Supreme Court made explicitly clear:
It is not necessary to show an overt, physical deprivation of access to school resources to make out a damages claim for sexual harassment under Title IX, but a plaintiff must show harassment that is so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive, and that so undermines and detracts from the victims' educational experience, that the victims are effectively denied equal access to an institution's resources and opportunities.
By definition, an alleged "victim" who is not a student cannot possibly be denied equal access to educational opportunities. In other words, judges seem to have missed the grossly attenuated point of Title IX, which is to assure equal access to education, not to empower colleges to be roving prosecutors of male student's sexcapades.
But the interest asserted takes the chaos theory of law that's seized control of Title IX a few steps further. The college isn't so much interested in the non-student victim, but in its female students who might fall prey to this male rapist. Forget severe, pervasive and objectionably offensive, as it's gone to the possibility that allowing a male on campus who might sexually assault someone.
There are a few points about Judge Conrad's decision worthy of note, the first being that the male student had the good sense to lawyer up quickly, ahead of the hearing, the deprivation of his diploma and the irreparable harm that would have ensued from this debacle, so as to have his case brought before a judge and obtain a temporary restraining order, even if it was only temporary.
Further, Judge Conrad, to his credit, didn't punt the case, holding that there was no justiciable harm until college found the accused guilty and denied him his fully-earned degree. The court recognized that the impending harm, in light of the circumstances, was presumptive.
The court also concludes that Doe is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of
preliminary injunctive relief. In opposing Doe's motion, the University argued that the presence of a colorable due process claim is not sufficient to justify the entry of a preliminary injunction. However, courts have recognized that "[w]hen constitutional rights are being threatened or impaired, irreparable injury is presumed."
The curiosity here is that UVA, in its zeal to harm its own student, pushed the argument that its interest was so important that it was worth the denial of due process to the accused to find him guilty, lest his uncontrollable rapist urges compelled him to rape a coed on the way to the stage to receive his degree.
UVA spokesman Anthony de Bruyn provided a statement on the university's behalf: "The university takes seriously any allegation regarding sexual assault or harassment. Allegations of sexual assault or harassment by or against university students are promptly and equitably addressed in accordance with the university's policy on sexual and gender-based harassment and other forms of interpersonal violence and its procedures for reports against students. The university intends to defend the integrity of its process in court and will have no further comment regarding the ongoing litigation."
Colleges' use of Title IX no longer has any connection to the law's purpose, or even attenuated purpose, and is now merely preformative signaling of its deep, abiding and entirely irrational concern for women. If a college doesn't put on a show for the unduly passionate, the fear is that it will appear insensitive to the cries of rape. That it destroys a male student in the process is a price it's willing, happy, to pay. Even when the male is a student of the college, while the woman has nothing to do with the college and no educational opportunity involved.
And even when the male student is a former student, and there is no "integrity" at stake at all.
This was a relatively decent outcome, even though the case is not concluded and Judge Conrad offered UVA the chance to supplement its opposition to the TRO with the tears of fearful co-eds who might find themselves sharing a commencement auditorium with this potential rapist.
But had the court, and the school, not lost sight of what the law addresses, this should never have been a case at all, and Judge Conrad should have ripped UVA's arguments to shreds, tossed the case altogether and made clear that he would not accompany UVA down this absurd rabbit hole.

Global Economic Ethic as Transcultural Management
Dr. Josef Wieland
Professor of Economy, Konstanz, Germany
1. Introduction
The Manifesto "A Global Economic Ethic – Consequences for Global Businesses" defines global economic operations as a process of competitive exchange and cooperation: Exchange of goods and ideas and cooperation between actors who follow their personal interest to realize mutual gains from cooperation. In this process it is, above all, the willingness and ability to cooperate which determine the attainable level of private success and the level of sustainable social welfare. However, cooperation and a global economy require personal, institutional and organizational foundations, without which there would be neither stability nor sustainable development. As a matter of fact, globalization is still accompanied by a massive institutional and organizational deficit up to this very day. Globally accepted and enforceable norms and rules of good and legitimate business practices are still in their infancy. There are also too few globally accepted organizations that are able to support the process of developing formal and informal rules of the game for the global economy. I am glad to say that United Nations Global Compact is one of the valuable exceptions.
Sometime, some aspects of the global economic governance remind me of a football world championship, in which the participating players and teams cultivate
ideas about fair-play and justice, in which common rules and institutions for their enforcement only
exist (referees, sports jurisdiction, laws of association etc.), and in which there is essentially
no sufficiently powerful organizer
such as today's FIFA. We all know that under these conditions it would not be possible to play a decent and successful match of football. And such a tournament could probably not even take place or would already have to be cancelled during the preliminary rounds. Hobbes' "war of all against all"
(Hobbes 1985, chapter 15.)
would run rampant and ruin any form of sportsmanship and performance. And still this scenario might be a little bit overdone but is not entirely inappropriate as a description of the conditions under which we are currently attempting to develop and stabilize a global capitalism based on cooperation.
Given this situation, a particularly strong significance must be attributed to individual leadership, personal character and virtue ethics. Don't get me wrong: they can't compensate the named deficits but they can be a resource to start a global dialogue to deal with and finally to overcome these deficits. This can only be achieved through the collective action of all economic stakeholders, and therefore the manifesto for a global economic ethic addresses not only management and entrepreneurs, but all economic stakeholders, thus investors, creditors, employees, suppliers, agencies, consumers, trade unions, NGO's and so forth bear responsibility for creating a framework for global economic operations together with political institutions.
As a first result I would like to state that preparing for moral leadership and contributing to an emerging global societal order are fundamental consequences from the Manifesto. One of its basic messages is that not only society is a stakeholder of the economy but that businesses are also stakeholders of the society.
2. Basic principle: Humanity
The manifesto for a global economic ethic is an initiative to develop a dialogue towards globally accepted principles and values of good business behaviour.
(Cp. Küng 2003)
In order to accomplish this, a normative reference point is needed which all human beings as human beings have in common or at least could have in common and can agree upon because they are already part of global cultural practices and forms of civilization. "Humanity" is the basic moral principle and point of view of the Manifesto which serves as this normative reference point. I would like to stress one aspect which seems to me to be of some importance with regard to a global ethic. All forms of morality have their roots in practical interactions between people and are therefore bound to certain cultural groups and regions. Therefore all morality is based on an emotional feeling of
belonging to a group or a specific cultural sphere
. What we have not yet developed is a system of ethics for cooperative networks
cultures which is based on an emotional feeling of belonging to this network, which means
to a global world
. The aim to do so is a particularly important aspect of the Manifesto and its focus on humanity.
However, an ethical Manifesto cannot restrict itself to making proposals on the
of globally accepted moral norms, rather also must answer questions about their
. All morality can be broken down into two aspects, namely the aspect of their material content and the question to whom these ethical standards must or should be applied. In face-to-face societies and to some extend even in nation-states the second question is answered by territory and the bonds resulting from history and everyday cooperation. However, globalization raises questions about responsibility for others under the condition that there
are no longer emotionally easily perceivable community boundaries. To act morally is no longer self-evident in this case.
(For this idea cp. the German writer Bernhard Schlink (2009): "The decisive point is in fact the problem of borders of morality and its overcoming; the problem of coordination and cooperation, the distribution and the balance transcending nations, beyond nations and their spheres of interests and influences." )
The boundaries of morality and the methods of overcoming them therefore must be answered anew in a global world.
(Cp. Dunning 2003)
The answer of the Manifesto lies in
transcultural values
which have been shared by all cultures since ancient times, or which can be shared and which have proven to be indispensable in everyday practical life. The Manifesto initiates not only a dialogue about values but starts with the basic principle of human dignity, humanity, which materializes in the principles of sustainability, respect, fair cooperation, and the universal applicability of the golden rule. These principles are reflected by equally basic values of
non-violence, respect for life, justice, solidarity, honesty, tolerance, mutual respect and partnership
(see illustration 1).
Illustration 1
Principles, Values, Issues and Management Action
for a Global Economic Ethic
show illustration
From the perspective of the Manifesto these principles and values define the fundamental responsibilities and demands for economic activities. They include, for example, the right to development for all stakeholders, the commitment to the sustainable management of natural resources, integrity in business life and efforts to create a social security system, the appreciation of diversity and trustful interactions between those involved in economic activities based on respect, as well as the possibility to take part in economic activities. At the end of the day this is not merely a question of having a CSR or Compliance program including a sustainability and compliance office. The Manifesto is about a values driven business model that places certain demands on the moral awareness of business leadership, on the formation of a corporate culture and communication and the process of implementing effective policies and procedures for morally sensitive business areas. The Manifesto asks for an
ethics of governance
in the truest sense of the word: how do we lead, manage and monitor business organizations?
3. The common bond
The management challenge of the Manifesto is to develop a
Transcultural Management System
(TMS). Unlike inter- and multicultural management it does not begin with the ethical difference(s) between nations and/or cultural regions, rather with the declaration that all human cultures have common collective ethical values and experiences. The recognition of differences and tolerance as a form of behaviour towards others are necessarily the elementary objectives of inter- or multi-cultural diversity management. The transcultural approach of the Manifesto accepts and supports these goals, but also and moreover strives to develop a management culture which embodies jointly developed transcultural virtues, and these transcultural virtues form a
common bond
through all culture differences. In my view, the Manifesto is not about exporting or creating a uniform global economic culture and overcoming diversity. On the contrary, it is instead aimed at linking national cultures, professional cultures, entrepreneurial cultures and individual cultures into a
network of diversity
, which is governed by a tie of common and shared principles and values.
Transcultural management is a continual learning process for individuals and organizations which occurs in everyday business conduct. Management education, be it in management schools or in firm specific continuous learning programs, will play a crucial role in making the Manifesto a living document.
I have already pointed out that the effectiveness of values depends on an emotional reference to a social community. As for the transcultural values of the globalized world, that means that they can only be further developed if the dominant feeling about globalization is not fear and rejection. Globalization must be seen, felt and accepted as a positive way of life. We live in different worlds, but after all we do live in
world. Adding a positive connotation to this is a third idea that the Manifesto puts forward. On the level of business organizations this means integrating transculturality into the management of diversity.
4. Manage values on a transcultural level
Philosophy and business ethics distinguish between individual, organizational and institutional ethics. I have already emphasized that the Manifesto is oriented towards a transcultural virtue ethics because the creation of a global ethical order depends to some extent on individual commitments and the examples set by all involved stakeholders. But virtue ethics must be embedded in a governance structure and so in a Corporate Governance, which provide
to follow the individual notions of virtue and which
individual actors in doing so. Such systems are Values Management Systems (VMS) which represent a four-stage procedure; see the following illustration.
Illustration 2
The four steps of the ValuesManagementSystem
show illustration 2
In the first step it is fundamental to define the ethical principles and values which are to guide behavior within and between firms and their stakeholders. Values are important because they give orientation for decision making, shape the moral perception and help to build up a moral identity of individuals and organizations. Therefore it makes a fundamental difference by which principles and values global economic transactions are guided. The Manifesto itself proposes the clear principle of
which bases management activities on sustainability, respect, fairness, and mutual cooperation. One important goal of these four values is to check opportunistic behaviour which is aimed at increasing one's own utility at the expense of others and confuses personal interest with egoism. Opportunism undermines and destroys cooperation. "Be ready and willing to cooperate with others" – this appears to me to be the fundamental ethical concern of the Manifesto which must be implemented in a professional Values Management System.
Illustration 3
Transcultural Values Management, Compliance Management and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Management
show illustration 3
Illustration 3 demonstrates how transcultural values influence organizational behaviour. As a rule, a Values Management System (VMS) operates to the extent that the codification of the company values (Code of Ethics, step 1 of a VMS) determines the standard values for all detailed regulations to be implemented (Code of Conduct, Norms of social responsibility). They are then systematized by means of instruments, communication and reviews (Guidelines, Training etc., steps 3 and 4 of a VMS). Finally, an appropriate and responsible organizational structure enables the coordination of the processes (step 4 of the VMS). Management as role model is absolutely decisive. The frequently evoked "tone at the top" or "tone from the top" is indeed important and a success factor which can not be overestimated; as Klaus Leisinger has emphasized, too:
"The members of top management set and communicate the right 'tone' and inspire others as a role model for good personal and corporate conduct. They send out signals both within and outside the company to show that ethical concerns are important and that they are concerned with things that go beyond the day-to-day routine and are of importance beyond the economic sphere. As a result, management elites have immense influence on the creation of a coherent 'moral community' – this, by the way is true in the widest variety of cultures."
5. Conclusion
To conclude I would like to once again briefly summarize four particular characteristics of the Manifesto.
The Manifesto aims for a multi-stakeholder network. All economic stakeholders bear responsibility and they share the moral dilemmas of a global economy.
The Manifesto is aimed at the development of a cooperative network between cultures, which is governed by common principles and values that are shared in everyday business practice. This network of diversity accepts differences, but links them with a bond of shared ethical standards. Precisely this makes the Manifesto a document of transcultural virtue ethics.
The Manifesto defines the principles and values of individual virtue ethics, which must be reflected in the character and attitude of leading economic stakeholders. However, since these principles and values are derived from shared practical economic and social experiences, they must also be reflected in the management system, which should provide incentives and support for the realization of moral demands in everyday business.
: Such management systems are Values Management Systems (VMS) and Transcultural Management Systems (TMS) which feed the principles and fundamental values of the Manifesto into everyday business life. They do so by structuring the leadership culture, the individual leadership style, the corporate and business culture, and the way and means of communication, the tone from and at the top. This in turn provides the basis for organizing all values-sensitive areas of a business with ethically oriented policies and procedures.

LOS ANGELES (CelebrityAccess) Showtime has canceled its comedy series SMILF after two seasons, which comes after recent allegations against its creator, star and executive producer, Frankie Shaw.
"After weighing a variety of factors, Showtime has decided that 'SMILF' will not move forward for a third season," the cable channel said in a statement. "We remain extremely proud of the two seasons of SMILF, and thank Frankie Shaw for her singular voice and unique creation."
ABC Studios, which produces the show, said at the same time that it was suspending a development deal with Shaw. Neither company gave a reason for its decision.
However, The Hollywood Reporter published a story in December that detailed allegations of abusive on-set behavior by Shaw, as well as violations of industry rules. Shaw denied the allegations, saying she worked to create a safe environment and she was hurt to read that there were cast and crew that were uncomfortable.
THR reported, in part:
… several insiders on SMILF who spoke to THR on the condition of anonymity say they are extremely fearful that Shaw will try to sabotage them professionally if they speak publicly about alleged issues on the show. They also express great disappointment at what they describe as manipulative and inequitable treatment — with behavior veering from warm to cold and threatening — coming from a rising female showrunner that has been outspoken in the #MeToo and Time's Up movements.
"She uses this idea of being feminist and a progressive as camouflage," says one staffer. Says another, "A lot of shows are generally unpleasant. Production is stressful. There are a lot of shows where people are angry at each other and then it's over and then you celebrate the work. This was not like that. People were really traumatized. It was pretty upsetting."
SMILF features Shaw as a single mom in Boston that is based on a short film she made that was shown at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. The show earned two Golden Globe nominations.
Shaw signed a two-year development deal with ABC Studios, which has been investigating reports of problems on set, according to Fox News.
"I can't express how much I've loved making this show, how much I love the cast and crew and appreciate Showtime and ABC as creative partners," Shaw said in a statement.

Forty degrees and raining. Welcome to Ithaca in April.
"I have a feeling that the other teams are none too thrilled about coming north for the weekend," said women's lacrosse coach Jenny Graap '86. "The New York weather will likely play into the weekend."
And the No. 7 Red will be looking for every advantage it can get this weekend. Defending national champion Princeton faces off against Cornell at 7:00 this evening on Schoellkopf Field, while No. 20 Vanderbilt visits on Sunday.
The game against Princeton might turn out to be one of the biggest this season for the Red.
"This could have some serious implications on who wins the league," said Graap.
Cornell and the Tigers were picked for a one-two finish in the Ivies this year, and both are undefeated in league play. The Red earned a 2-0 league record against Penn and Columbia while Princeton beat the Lions for a 1-0 mark. This game stands in both teams' path to an Ivy title.
"We definitely see this as important in the Ivy League," said Graap. "This could be a very crucial match"
Picked as the No. 1 team in the country in several preseason polls, the Tigers stumbled out of the gate with a 1-3 start. Those losses, however, were to No. 2 Loyola, No. 4 Virginia, and No. 3 Duke. Princeton has since defeated No. 6 Georgetown and No. 11 Penn State.
With these games in mind, Cornell will be ready for the ladies from New Jersey. In the past, said Graap, the team has looked up to the Tigers as a team, but that will not be the case this time.
"Now we need to be looking right at them, not up at them," said Graap. "We need to treat this game just like any other game."
Princeton's skill and experience in tough games will likely prove to be its greatest assets. The team has played against the best in the country.
"They've learned a lot in some close, competitive games," said Graap. "They've gained a lot of valuable knowledge and experience."
The Red, however, has done pretty well for itself in past weeks as well. The team has earned a No. 7 ranking on the back of a 6-0 overall record, including victories against Penn and No. 15 Notre Dame.
"It's not about Cornell playing perfectly, or [playing] better," said Graap. "We just need to keep our confidence and not go into this game with a different outlook."
Riding its six-game winning streak and a solid mixture of attack, defense and the goaltending of junior Ashley Charron, the Red has no intention of blinking in front of the Tigers. The team wants a win.
At the same time though, the Red refuses to put any additional pressure on itself.
"We're trying not to make it so huge that it's more than a 60 minute game," said Graap.
The Red will play Vanderbilt on Sunday at noon. Coming off a surprising Wednesday night victory over Duke, Vanderbilt (4-4) will be a dangerous team to face this weekend.
"Vandy just beat the No. 2 team in the country," Graap noted. "They're going to come into here with a lot of energy and bravado."

LAMP stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP (or Perl/Pythton)
Ubuntu 9 (Jaunty) now has a command utility called 'tasksel' which displays the packages that can be installed on top of the OS.
Issuing the command in sudo mode will start a GUI based application (similar to old file manager or BIOS setup utility).
Just scroll down to LAMP Server hit the spacebar to select the option and the application will do the rest.
It will ask for MySQL root password in between the installation process.
After the installation process finishes the application will close and the command prompt will reappear.
Checking the install and additional configuratiton
1. As part of LAMP, Apache should be installed in /etc/apache2
2. The start stop script is /usr/sbin/apache2ctl
3. The configuration file is /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
4. The context root is in /var/www and the site configuration is in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
5. Going to http://localhost/ should now give you the html contents of the index.html file.
In the /var/www directory create a file test.php whose contents are just one line <?phpinfo();?>
6. Going to http://localhost/test.php should yeild a long page listing all the variables and configuration parameters of PHP. If this page comes, then PHP is configured correctly.
7. MySQL should be installed in /usr/bin/mysql
8. We want to check MySQL with phpmyadmin GUI, so lets download & install it. apt-get install phpmyadmin. A screen similar to tasksel will open up and ask a few questions like the password of the root user for MySQL and which server should be configured (apache2) and to create a phpmyadmin user/passwd.
9. Now going to http://localhost/phpmyadmin should open up the GUI admin utility (login with mysql root user)
10. Using this utility create a database, table and insert a row in this table.
11. Now, create a file called data.php in the /var/www/ directory having the following contents.
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root","passwd");
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM testtable",$db);
printf( "First: %s
\n", mysql_result($result,0,"firstname"));
printf( "Last: %s
\n", mysql_result($result,0,"lastname"));
12. The output with data from the table should be displayed appropriately.
So now we have a working Apache server with PHP configured and connected to MySQL (which can be administered from phpmyadmin) all set and ready to rocknroll on Ubuntu.

Shirts Y'All Challenge - Finale on Bussum 2005
Last night the Shirts Y'all Challenge was closed. Or was it? It soon turned out there was at least one cheater in the top 4 of the Top 25. Because, with this, the entire top 4 has become questionable, we decided there was only one way to hand out the free MSX T-Shirt to a noble gamer: a grand finale on an MSX fair.
PalmPal, Paragon_Leon, Wolf_ and ntfeDaedalus are invited to come to Bussum 2005 (the date of the fair still has to be announced) to join in a head to head Shirts Y'All battle at the MRC stand. The person to get the highest score after 3 attempts wins the MSX T-Shirt. If, for whatever reason, either of the finalists can not make it to the fair, the finale will still continue with the remaining contestants. May the best man win!

Republican lawmakers in New Mexico have proposed a right-to-work bill on Monday, the second such bill to be proposed in the last month.The bill, if passed into law, would prohibit union membership as a condition of employment in the state, reports The Associated Press. The bill is similar to one proposed by state Sen. Sander Rue back in late December. However, Rue's bill would only apply to private sector unions in the state, while the newest proposal would apply to both public and private unions.
"We have to compete with other states" Rue told The Daily Caller News Foundation. "We have to be able to create jobs in the private sector."
"Businesses, their job is to pick the most job friendly state" Rue said. "They don't owe us any favors."
Rue was also optimistic that his bill would get support from the governor who has supported right-to-work legislation in the past. The senator also believes he will be able to gain support in the state House, "For the first time in sixty years, the House has a Republican majority."
Rue does expect his bill to be challenged, "There's going to be plenty of opposition to this… Unions will stand against it."There is no word yet on whether Rue will support the other right-to-work bill that will go further than his by including public sector unions. Even so, both pieces of legislation are likely to face significant opposition in the state Senate which is still a majority Democrat.

First Thoughts:
Oh my Gosh! This book was beyond mind blowing! I don't even know where to even begin to express how much this book has affected me and opened my eyes. I actually was oblivious to this book until about a week ago…I was browsing a Goodreads friends quotes and found she had a lot of quotes from this book and I really liked the quotes themselves so I looked the book up and saw all the raving reviews so I picked this book up as soon as I could. This book had so much to offer and it was so different than what I'm used to reading…I just love almost everything about this book; the whole book was quotable!
This book was just great; the story was inspiring and fun to read. I laughed a lot in this book and I almost cried at others. The idea of having cancer and knowing you're dying is something a normal person would take and let it tear them apart but in this book the main character is so much stronger than that; she's accepted her fate and all she wants to do now is live life until it's her time to go. I loved the idea of how the story revolves around a book she loved and wanting to meet the author and have her questions answered but it's not that easy but with the help of someone special she might just get the chance to meet him. This was a romantic and tragic comedy…it was a breed unto itself. The plot was amazing; it kept me interested the entire time and though I had a few lingering questions at the end I was surprisingly satisfied. The ending itself was emotional and uplifting at the same time just wished there was an epilogue. And as for the pace of the book it was really fast for me; there was always something interesting happening whether it was action or not, I really never lost my interest throughout the length of this book The story kept me interested; I wanted to know what happened next. And I really felt there were a lot of things teens and young adult could take away from this book; ideas and thoughts about life and how to life it. So overall I really enjoyed this aspect of the book; I felt the layout of the story was great.
I really enjoyed the romance in this book, it wasn't too overwhelming and it was at times quite funny. The two characters fit so well together, you could really see and compare the two personalities together and see that really no one else would really quite fit together better than these two. And I liked that the relationship felt more realistic, it wasn't rushed or love at first sight…it took time for the two to really acknowledge that there was something there. So overall I really enjoyed this aspect of the book and I didn't find it stereotypical.
I really enjoyed the characters; they really added great texture to the world. And I was able to easily connect with the main character and understand her. She was created perfectly and her personality is so unique and creative; it's not one I've really seen in any other book. The way she thinks is so intelligent and creative! And as for the other characters they each had their own traits and quirks and fit so well into the storyline and world. Some of the characters made me laugh, others cry but the important thing is was the author was able to get the reader to really connect to each and every character; not just the main ones. So overall I felt this was a very important aspect to the book and really added the amp to the book.
Transformation of the Character:
So I don't really think the characters necessarily changed in this book; rather they just came to terms with who they were all along and saw life in a new way…you didn't really see a change in any of the personalities so I wouldn't really say they transformed. But either way I don't think this was a very important aspect in the book and it didn't sway me one way or another on my opinion of the book.
I loved the description in this book; it was so detailed and creative. I loved reading about the seeds of the trees floating down the river or the smells in the air. I loved being immersed in the atmosphere and experiencing things right alongside the characters. The author really knew how to draw out the senses and allow the reader to really get the texture of the world and become more in-tuned and connected to it. And it wasn't just the landscape that the author described so well, it was the emotions too, I was really able to experience all of the things the characters did….it really allowed me better connect with the characters themselves and to better understand all of the issues that arose. I really enjoyed all the little details the author painted for the reader. And as for the dialogue I thought it was well created and placed and true to each character and there wasn't too much or too little. So overall I really enjoyed this aspect of the book.
This was written in one POV and in first person which really allowed the reader to become connected with the character and better understand what was happening. I enjoyed the style in this book, it was so unique and fun to read. I felt this author's writing was more mature and well thought out than I'm used to in young adult. I felt intelligent while reading this book….just loved the author's style of writing. I thought his writing was fun to read and really made me stop and re-read a couple of places; I really wanted to get the whole experience and by doing so had to stop and rewind. So overall the style of this book was superb.
Quote of the Book:
"We live in a universe devoted to the creation, and eradication, of awareness…He died after a lengthy battle with human consciousness, a victim-as you will be of the universe's need to make and unmake all that is possible."
Goodreads Summary:
Diagnosed with Stage IV thyroid cancer at 13, Hazel was prepared to die until, at 14, a medical miracle shrunk the tumours in her lungs... for now.
Two years post-miracle, sixteen-year-old Hazel is post-everything else, too; post-high school, post-friends and post-normalcy. And even though she could live for a long time (whatever that means), Hazel lives tethered to an oxygen tank, the tumours tenuously kept at bay with a constant chemical assault.
Enter Augustus Waters. A match made at cancer kid support group, Augustus is gorgeous, in remission, and shockingly to her, interested in Hazel. Being with Augustus is both an unexpected destination and a long-needed journey, pushing Hazel to re-examine how sickness and health, life and death, will define her and the legacy that everyone leaves behind.
Last Thoughts:
I would recommend this to young teens and young adults. This book has a lot of lessons to be learned and emotions to grab onto. There was so much greatness to this book that I know my words could never sum up how much this book meant to me. This so far my favorite book of 2012, the writing was amazing and the whole book was fun to read. And when it came time to picking a quote to give you guys it was so hard…I wanted to quote so many things but chose on one that kept me thinking. But either way I hope you'll take the time to read this book, it really is worth it! And Hey! If you don't like it its fine it's not for everyone but it definitely touched me.

Find Christian Senior Living in Ohio
Search 22 Christian senior living options in Ohio
Ohio is home to so many Christian assisted living facilities, and that is actually some very good news for faithful seniors that are committed to staying strong in their faith, even after transitioning from independent living. Interestingly, many of these Christian assisted living facilities are also referred to as communities, meaning they understand one of the most important values of the Christian faith, and that is standing strong together and helping each other.
Here are just a few best rated:
Christian House – Palestine, OH is a well rated and fairly new assisted living center opened in 2017 and includes home care, independent living, assisted living and respite care.
Christian Village Communities – A collection of 2 Christian Assisted Living centers, one in Mason and one in Cincinnati, OH, where the focus is on building a close-knit neighborhood.
Worthington Christian Village – Based in Columbus, OH, where care covers everything from independent living, assisted living and a center for those that require full-time nursing care.
Cost of Christian Assisted Living in Ohio
Compared to the national average of $4,000 per month for Christian assisted living care, Ohio facilities are just a bit more expensive. However, there are several cities in the state the buck that trend, and even in the pricier cities, rates aren't grossly out of line. Cleveland and Youngstown are good examples, where the monthly rate of $3,600 per month is about $400 less per month. Toledo, OH, is one of the few places in the state that is significantly higher at $5,000+ per month, and that is tilting the results significantly. Don't be dismayed. Overall, Ohio is pretty reasonable.
Christian Assisted Living Communities in Ohio - Amenities
Given how many choices seniors will have to consider, it may be good to focus on 4 key amenities that may Christian assisted living facilities unique, in comparison to most secular assisted living centers. These are the things that help support a faithful life, and they are very much the things that have support that faithful life in most every Christian community across the nation.
Christian Retirement Communities in Ohio - Religious Amenities
- In a Christian community, the church provides a beacon of hope for all. It is a magnet that draws people in when they need help but it's also a magnet for those that have a want to share and help others. It is this balance that helps define the faith and that builds a real Christian community. The same is true in a Christian assisted living facility where the chapel plays this critical role. It must be a dedicated space, available to all 24/7, where the focus is and will always be on building a personal relationship with God.
- Faith defines the Christian church but that doesn't mean all churches are the same. Pastors have a tremendous influence on the personality of each Christian assisted living community. It is their personalities that often influence these communities, both in subtle and not so subtle ways. For seniors considering a Christian assisted living facility, this can be a critically important factor in the decision process. If they are comfortable with the pastor, they are far more likely to enjoy a fulfilling spiritual life that they will if they simple do not feel comfortable.
- Seniors come to an assisted living facility because they need some help with many of the basic things that we all need to do every day to feel comfortable and confident. But, this type of care can be very personal and even embarrassing. Care teams that share the Christian faith and abide by the tenets of love, compassion, and patience, so senior residents can enjoy the full benefit of care that truly meets their daily needs.
- Christians that are committed to growing a personal relationship with God understand that it requires much more than just attending church services once a week. It requires prayer. It requires study. It requires committing to others in faith. This is an active life and growing faith requires active support. Religious activities help seniors find their faithful path and must be an important part of what any good Christian assisted living facility provides for their seniors.
Christian Assisted Living in Ohio - General Amenities
Assisted living centers accomplish this with a set of basic care activities commonly referred to as Assisted Daily Living tasks, or ADL's. They include all of the normal personal hygiene tasks we all need to accomplish each day, including using the toilet, bathing, grooming, dressing, remaining confidently mobile and meeting all of the other challenges that come with diminished sight and limited hearing. They also provide medication management so seniors remain on a healthy path that allows them to remain active.
These assisted living facilities also relieve seniors from the need to worry about house cleaning and laundry, lawn cutting and snow removal, and pretty much everything else they may have done that needed a hammer or screwdriver. Heck, in assisted living facilities, seniors don't even have to worry about changing a burnt lightbulb.
Private apartments have kitchens so seniors could cook for themselves if they wanted, but there's a good chance they won't. Assisted living centers provide three really great meals every day. Menus are created that offer both new and familiar dishes, so everyone finds something they will love. These dishes are then professionally prepared by trained culinary staff. They are served in very pleasant dining rooms, around comfortable tables where friends can gather and share the joy of sharing a great meal. So, while seniors can, they may not want to eat alone all that often.
The other important element in an assisted living facility is the company of other seniors, that are facing the same challenges, with the same positive outlook on life. Community activity planners help this happen by creating various activities that these seniors can come together and enjoy. Programs often include arts & crafts, various hand-on classes, educational seminars, entertainment, games, fitness sessions, community outings, along with many other fun ways to make each day meaningful and invigorating, both mentally and physically. In a good assisted living facility, life is never boring.
Apartments provide private space for seniors, so they can maintain a reasonably independent life, in their own comfortable home within these homes. They are varied in size, starting with studio units. For those that want more space, there are one-bedroom units that include living dining and kitchen space. And, for those that have a family member or companions they would like to share with, there are two-bedroom apartments, where the pair shares a common living, dining and kitchen space, while enjoying their own bedrooms. For those seniors that are happy to share or are looking to stretch a tight budget, there are semi-private rooms as well. These are typically shared with 2 or 4 seniors.
Christian assisted living facilities in Ohio offer lots of choices so for Faithful seniors, they can look forward to a bright future where spiritual, physical and mental care all come together.

This toy has a lot to recommend it. I'm a big fan of Lovehoney – they mainly avoid gimmicks, have a solid returns policy, and provide good quality toys at reasonable prices, with quick and discreet delivery. I bought my first ever sex toy (a tiny bullet vibe) from them nearly a decade ago and I still go to them for the majority of my sexy needs.
The Desire Luxury Clitoral Vibrator is a nice simple little clitoral vibrator. It's USB rechargeable and waterproof. The front has 3 buttons – on/turn up, setting change, and off/turn down. It's around 3 inches long and is inflexible but very soft. It also comes in an attractive and discreet case.
The end curves to a soft point which is perfect for those who prefer their clitoral stimulation direct and focused, or you can also use the rounder end for a more generalised sensation. For me, it actually worked best when I pressed it side on to my clit, but your mileage – and body – may vary.
The Desire Clitoral Vibrator has 8 different modes or "patterns" of vibration. As usual, I preferred the constant vibration turned on high, but it's worth experimenting to see what works best for you. The ramp-up-then-back-down setting is perfect for a slow tease!
My Ratings (all scores out of 5★)
Price: ★★★★
This vibrator retails at £59.99 ($89.99 US). This will definitely be out of some budgets, but it's worth spending for a good toy if you can afford it. The quality is in line with the price.
Materials: ★★★★★
The Desire Clitoral Vibe is made of beautiful soft silicone with a matte finish and contains no latex or phthalates, which means it's completely body-safe as well as feeling absolutely gorgeous.
Appearance: ★★★★
I can't fault the design – it's simple and stylish The whole Desire range has a sexy and stylish purple and black colour scheme.
Ease of Use: ★★★★★
Very light, ergonomically designed and fits well in my tiny hand. This is a real plus as I sometimes struggle to hold and manipulate bigger toys for the 20+ minutes it can take me to get off. The buttons are easy to press and it's so self-explanatory that I haven't even opened the instruction booklet.
Ease of care & cleaning: ★★★★★
Easy to clean with a sterile wipe (available from medical suppliers.) It's waterproof too, so you can clean it with soap and warm water. It's not really condom-compatible, so I recommend sterilising it before sharing with a partner. You could also use a barrier like a dental dam if it's easier.
Versatility: ★★★
The Desire Clitoral Vibe comes with 8 functions and the constant vibration speed can be turned up or down. It can be positioned against your clitoris in different ways depending on where you like your vibrations focussed. It's waterproof, so you can use it in the bath or shower if that's your thing. Not suitable for internal use.
Intensity: ★★★
This is the main place this toy falls down. If it had been more powerful, I would have loved to give it five stars. That said, it did get me off, it just took longer than it would with a higher powered vibe. Good if you have a sensitive clit and find the Doxys and Hitachis of the world too overwhelming.
Overall Score: ★★★★
Overall, I enjoyed using this toy and I'm keen to see more from the Desire range. If you're looking for a reliable and body-safe mid-intensity vibrator, look no further. Serious power lovers should look elsewhere.
