On the trail of the 2011 Booker Prize
The novel is set in post-Communist Moscow during the days when money was freely flowing in and out and financial whiz-kids were flying in and making small fortunes. Nick Platt is one of those financial whiz-kids and Snowdrops is his story. Told in first-person narrative as Nick looks back trying to explain the debauchery and excess that defined his time in Moscow to his present-day (and anonymous throughout the novel) fiance, the story never loses it's undertone of lost morality and despair.
When Nick meets a beautiful Russian girl, he is immediately drawn into her world...a world that is not at all what it seems. Yet Nick's naivete is, at least in part, quite deliberate, as if his loneliness outweighs any moral dilemmas. The beautiful Russian girl, of course, is not what she seems and in many ways is a symbol of modern-day Russia itself. Beautiful, yes, but corrupted underneath.
Still, the reader is left to grapple with Nick. Although a protagonist, it is difficult to summon any sympathy for his plight. He's not a stupid man. It's left to the reader to decide whether his motivations justify his actions.
Booker Prize worthy? Our first thought was that this novel was far to readable to be on the Booker Shortlist. Our experience with previous nominees has left us with the impression that if A Reader's Respite could easily follow the story then it wasn't worthy of a Booker. So we were pleasantly surprised by the ease with which the pages flew by.
On the other hand, the entire novel left a slight distaste in our mouth. The moral edge on which these characters balance is just creepy enough to make us believe that more people than we'd like to think lack that compass. And perhaps that is entirely what the author intended.

This made me last. When I see a book has won a Booker Prize, I slowly back away.
This years group, I'm finding, was pretty accessible reads for the most part....I did have a favorite, but I'm getting to that one. :)ReplyDelete
Yes, the prize winners seem to be either too difficult to read or too depressing. Every once in a while there's a gem though. I live in a similar small town BTW. :)ReplyDelete
Ah, towns like ours are certainly unique and God love 'em. But it sure makes a good book club hard to find. :)ReplyDelete
A prize winner/nominee that is readable and somewhat enjoyable?!? Miracles DO exist! LOL!ReplyDelete
This one sounds quite interesting. I can see it as a great lesson in ethics for business students.

Mrs. Young's information primarily came from records and recollections of family historians who lived in early Calhoun County, Mississippi, as well as recollections of her own. Entitled "The Cherry Hill - Poplar Springs - Reid Community of Calhoun County," and published online through "Scribd," the book traces the early history of life in the Poplar Bluff community that later became a part of Calhoun County. Logically presented and easily read, this book is a valuable resource for those who are searching for ancestors who lived Mississippi during the 1800s.
Young's book is a must-read for anyone who has family roots in Old Monroe County, the community of Egypt, or sections of Chickasaw and Yalobusha counties, since large numbers of residents of those particular areas migrated into and settled newly formed Calhoun County in the early-mid 1800's. Specific family profiles make up a large portion of the book's pages, along with historical information about the area's businesses, churches, and schools. Anecdotal accounts of everyday rural life in this remote area of the state are often included in the family profiles found in the book. Of particular note, an early census of the Poplar Springs Baptist Church can be found near the end, and an alphabetical index allows the reader to easily search for individual names referenced throughout the book's 272 pages.
James M. Young also compiled the first edition of the book, a non-digital version, and presented a copy to his mother as a surprise gift for her 69th birthday in 1984. According to the preface written by Mr. Young in the second edition published online, approximately 100 copies of the book's first edition were ultimately printed and distributed to family members and several museums and bookstores.
Born in Reid, Mississippi on July 5, 1915, Monette Morgan Young died at St. Dominic's Hospital in Jackson, Mississippi, on February 18, 2000. She is buried next to her first husband, Tom Young in Hillcrest Cemetery in Vardaman, Calhoun County, Mississippi.

Gush City.
Everyone loves everybody now. There were Lakers hugs all around, with fans at Staples Center on Sunday joining the party, getting rally towels and the feel of a playoff game.
Happy 79th birthday, Jerry Buss, as Gush City flattens Oklahoma City and holds the top-scoring team in the NBA below 100 points.
The Lakers not only bring back excitement to Staples but look as if they will never lose again while shooting guard Steve Nash sets sights on the NBA's scoring title.

A Nokia support respresentative has confirmed plans for the company to release the Lumia 520 and Lumia 720 Windows Phones in India later this month and into April. Both Windows Phones were unveiled at Mobile World Congress 2013 and have started to appear in multiple markets. Now it's time for the new Windows Phone 8 devices to hit India and be available in an important, emerging market.
So how much will consumers be expected to fork out for both devices? Pricing remains to be confirmed and Nokia still hasn't confirmed details exactly when the hardware will be available for purchase, but it's believed the Lumia 520 will be priced at Rs. 11,500 ($210) while the Lumia 720 will be around Rs. 19,000 ($350). The two handsets join the Lumia 920, 820 and 620, which are already available in the region.

Letter to My Former Self: Anonymous SEAL
POSTED ON: Monday, April 21, 2014 8:00 AM by Naval Academy Public Affairs
A USNA graduate who is now a Navy SEAL (and wishes to remain anonymous), wrote the following letter as part of the ongoing series "Letter to My Former Self." While he directs his words to the young men who will be entering the SEAL community following graduation, some of his advice will also be useful for all the firsties who are about to graduate and lead Sailors in the Fleet.
It's hard to comprehend what I would have liked to have known as a Firstie. At this point, I know it's a cliché, but you literally don't know what you don't know. This community is unique in the fact that all the candidates think about is the near future, specifically First Phase. Not that there is anything wrong with that – it's most definitely one of the biggest hurdles in the U.S. military and no easy task – but what I want to try and convey is there is so much more to this community than what people generally consider.
The aftermath of First Phase and more specifically after BUD/S, is what I would have liked to have understood more. All of the books, the movies, the articles, they focus on BUD/S along with the selection process and then later in a SEAL's career. They leave out the most important step, what truly develops you into a NSW officer and a shooter.
The fact of the matter is, this part of the journey can't be written about. It can't be described; it must be experienced. As much as is written and as much as you may listen, this is something that every person has a unique experience with and takes something different away from. Nevertheless, I will offer some things I wish I had known before the journey, things that I had never thought about, being the short-minded individual who was only looking at Hell Week.
First of all, you will lead men, many of whom are of greater caliber than you. These are thinking men, therefore you must push situational awareness. Keep them informed of everything, even if you think it's insignificant. They are intelligent and have earned the right to know what's going on.
Second, stay flexible. This job requires thinking shooters, ready to adapt to their environment. Adaptability is key.
Next, trust your gut. Malcolm Gladwell wrote a book on the subject, his general gist being that your gut reaction, the decision your subconscious makes in a fraction of a second and your first instinct, is usually right. Go with what you feel is the right decision. Don't over analyze.
Finally, and most importantly, remember the hunger you feel now, that desire to do the best job in the world. There will be many dark and painful times in your journey, but remember how fired up and ready to take on the world you feel now, especially in your darkest moments of training. If you can hold onto that, regardless of how miserable any specific moment can be, you will be unstoppable, and that's exactly what's needed.
I leave you with this: Think about the short term, plan for the long term. The fire hose of experience is in the near future, and you must be ready for it and at the same time be ready to take everything you can from it. You owe it to yourselves, but more importantly to your future teammates and those who have gone before you.
Best of luck, fellas.

An Industrial & Industrious Home Office
Name: localARC
Location: Fort Worth, Texas
It's an American midcentury classic: the Tanker desk. Made with thick gauge steel, the hefty desks evoke an era orchestrated by the mechanical arms of typewriters, living on as highly desirable and collectible functional furnishings even today. Thanks to their sturdy construction, many survive and have been appropriated as computer desks, as seen here in our latest reader workspace spotlight...
The makeover began last summer with the purchase of the mighty Tanker desk. With this piece, I began to really get into mid-century industrial furniture. With the addition of an awesome desk lamp (which we searched high and low for), and a great desk chair with matching side chair, the office is coming together well.
After acquiring the desk, we purchased the two Goodform chairs to accompany it. Every upgrade to the office tends to revolve around the desk.
The office is one of our favorite rooms in our house, as it's a relaxing place for us to work (I work as a technical writer and editor), craft, and play. It's also a hub of learning for our son, who has no qualms with using the computer when he's not creating modern works of art at his craft table.
Thanks for sharing, localARC!

Difference between revisions of "Lubumbashi"
Revision as of 12:54, 21 September 2014
Lubumbashi is the second largest city in the Democratic Republic of the Congo with a population of 1,374,000 and the principal city of the Katanga region.
Creole Swahili is the principal language of the Copperbelt mining cities and is somewhat more different from classical East African Swahili than that spoken elsewhere along the eastern edge of Congo. Most people can communicate in French, and many of the elite are more at ease in French than Swahili. English is widely spoken in businesses.
Get in
By plane
Lubumbashi is served internationally by South African Airways, Kenya Airways, Ethiopian Airlines and Zambian Airways. Flights within Congo D. R. are offered by Hewa Bora Airways [3], Korongo Airlines (operated by Brusselsairlines) and by CAA [4].
By car/truck
Travel by car is totally discouraged as the roads in the Congo are quite pathetic and you can't risk being attacked in the remoteness around lubumbashi.
By bus
Connections via Zambia to Dar es Salaam and to South Africa.
By train
Freight trains connect to Zambia, Dilolo to the west on the Angolan border in Katanga province, Ilebo to the far northwest in Kasai Province with river transport on to Kinshasa, and via Kamina to Kindu and Kalemie (Lake Tanganyika border with Tanzania) to the north. Passenger service is infrequent and slow without international connections. Angola is completing rebuilding of the link from Dilolo to the ocean at Lobito after decades of war, and a direct rail link to Kinshasa, connecting on to the Atlantic coast, is again being planned.
Get around
Unless you are a local your only means of travel around the city is by foot but if you can handle try driving a 4x4 car or a jeep.
Zoo de Lubumbashi, on Route Kipushi, as well as several predators like lion and tiger, zoo has a large snake collection and termites museum. Watch one of TP Mazembe's games (football team), as they are the best football team in Africa.
Cercle Wallon (Belgium club): Eat, bar, tennis (incl. lessons), 10 pin bowling. 2 Avenue De la Revolution . Finally you could play a posh game of Golf at Golf de Lubumbashi , Route de Golf around the North-West of the City.
Check with locals to see if there is a show at the Amphitheatre on Avenue Kasombo and have a good watch of the show.
Also befriend a local and have him/her take you to the great Marche de Katuba , Avenue Central. Finally watch a movie at the great cinema , Cine Betamax.
Plage Tshombe: several restaurants and bars, situated on Route du Golf at Lake Tshombe. Also if your in the mood for fast food go to the city center's large chips shop KATANGA FRIED CHICKEN. Le Perroquet on Avenue Kapenda is a nice Restaurant.
In or near the centre: "La Brioche" (Avenue Kabila) is a nice French style cafe also serving light meals. "Chez Olga" is local resto at crn. 30 Juin/De Hemptine. "Le Transit" is local resto at crn. 30 Juin/ Djamena. "Petit Bruxelles" is a garden resto at Kabanga no.624 (north from centre)
"La Brioche" (Avenue Kabila) is a nice French style cafe also serving light meals. "Petit Bruxelles" is a garden resto at Kabanga no.624 (north of centre). "La Kalebasse" in Ave. Likasi (beside Hotel Kaby) is a local bar in a backyard (with DJ music in the evening). Several drinking terraces at Ave. Adoua, southbound from Ave. Kabila.
"Kamy de Luxe" is basic but acceptable, 5 min. south of centre (Ave. Kabila) in Ave. Likasi between Ave. Lomamy and Ave. Sendwe. (double with shower from 20000 FC = 17 EUR)- right beside is "La Kalebasse", local daily dancing and drinking.
Don't count on calling in Lubumbashi. The phone signal is not very good but try if you're desperate.
ONT (National Tourist Organisation): Ave. Kabila 64 (2eme etage), Batiment LAC; helpful Mme. Jenny, phone 0997147872.
SNCC Lubumbashi (train station): phone 081409515159 chef de consigne, very helpful with timetable.
Get out
The safest way to leave by using the direct rail link to kinshasa and leave at Njili airport which might cost a lot of dollars so it's best you leave the way you came.
Comment: There is no "direct rail link to Kinshasa", the railway only goes as far as Ilebo (very rare, from where you have to find a boat via Badundu to Kinshasa or get a shared taxi to Kikwit and then Kinshasa), and about every 15 to 30 days trains to Kananga, Kindu and Kalemie.

If you've been looking into various kinds of flooring for your San Francisco home, then you've likely considered hardwood floors. If you've gotten that far then you've probably also heard that some people have been using bamboo for their flooring. There are many merits to considering bamboo, and yet one consideration that people have when choosing hardwood, is that fact that it adds value to their home. Bamboo is firstly, a bit cheaper than most hardwoods and the reason for that is because of the rate at which is matures. Bamboo is plentiful, but still has to be important from Asia. Hardwood on the other hand can be grown and harvested domestically.
Another consideration is environmental. While it's true that there are some companies out there that harvest wood at unsustainable rates simply to make a profit, it's also true that many companies don't. Domestically grown lumber needs to be harvested at sustainable rates in order to conform with environmental laws. The majority of lumber that is harvested using unethical practices that promote deforestation come from South America. On the other hand there are many South American countries and companies that do harvest lumber ethically. So for folks that are considering bamboo for ethical reasons, there may be no reason to abandon hardwood completely.
In terms of quality, bamboo isn't a bad option. It's quite high on the Janka scale that measures the hardness of wood objects. It also looks and feels like wood. On the other hand, it isn't wood. Bamboo will not likely raise the value of your property. There aren't a plethora of options when it comes to bamboo either, and finally there are woods that are harder than bamboo.
The joy of hardwood is in the texture of the grain, the color, and sometimes even the smell. Woods like cedar and rosewood retain their smell for decades after being installed. They do raise the value of any property on which they are installed and in fact constitute one of the best home improvements in terms of a return on your investment.
While bamboo is always an option for those that like the look of hardwood without actually needing real hardwood to do the trick, bamboo is basically analogous to being the generic variety of a well known and appreciated name brand. Those that are considering bamboo for environmental reasons should note that bamboo needs to be flown or shipped from a great distance, and the techniques used in turning bamboo into something resembling hardwood require industrial processing that requires added energy expenditure in terms of electricity and fuel. The only valid reason for choosing additional resources bamboo flooring over hardwood would be that it's cheaper and that it kind of looks like a real my review here hardwood floor.

Beyond Hope - Andrew Strong
There were something like one hundred and seventy questions in the test, ranging from "I enjoy theories" to "I hate parties". As the test proceeded, so my positive responses were clustered together, as were my negative answers. So things I like (books, people, singing and watercress) all appeared in the same question, forcing me to make a distinction. Similarly, all the things I hate (golf, getting up, Wotsits and rabies) were thrown together to make me differentiate between them.
Imagine if you were asked whether you hated Wotsits more than rabies, could you decide? Rabies is nasty, but is thankfully uncommon. Wotsits, they pop up all over the place, those horrible, disgusting, floury, yellow puke pods.
At the end of all this psychometric twaddle, I had to sit in a room with an expert who told me how nuts I was. She laughed until she cried as she described the huge variations in my responses. "You are a silent loner," she said. "You sit outside of the circle, looking in. You hate Wotsits more than rabies. That's very weird."
"Ah," I replied, "but I love watercress more than singing!"
She filed my report away and told me, no, I couldn't have a copy. For once in my life, I wish I could have been normal. It must feel so good. To like parties more than poetry, and sunshine more than stationery. I can only wish.
But as I spend hours alone, making things up, it is unlikely that the outside world would consider me a balanced, rounded human being. I am not, and I don't want to be. I want to be the eccentric that I am, because in that way the world is an endlessly entertaining series of the bizarre, the surreal and the utterly incomprehensible. If I were organised and rational, possessed of that dubious quality 'common sense', then I am certain I would be incapable of doing what I enjoy doing most, making things up.
From what I've come to understand, psychometric tests are used more and more often in business and especially in the civil service. I suppose the logical consequence of all this is that eventually the world will be controlled by robots, and the imaginative, the bizarre, the curious and the quirky will be designated 'unnecessary' and consigned to the rubbish tip of history.

If this is in the UK, it is illegal for her to deny you a copy of your own records.
*Epecially* if the test went through/is stored on a computer.
These days even public exam papers can be reclaimed.

And, as it is all too easy for people to manipulate the answers on this sort of test, I should not worry too much about deviating from what is supposedly 'normal'. It is 'normal' to deviate, especially if you are creative.

Oh, I hate these tests. You start off thinking 'this is fun' and then when other people analyse the results you realise it isn't. I did one at work (the day job) which was designed to place all the members of a new department in one of four categories. I ended up with two other people out of a total of 40 in the 'blue' group which, it was made pretty clear to a roomful of colleagues was the introverted, anally-retentive trainspotter group. We were then laughed at by all the fun, sociable, dynamic 'red' and 'yellow' people. It was absolutely humiliating. Sort of thing that could turn you into a serial killer if you were that way inclined.

Lol! This post made be laugh. You sound like a delightful creature.
I think all of us writing-inclined people are a little odd. Let's face it, we spend a big chunk of every day living in a world of our own invention - how is that not weird? And we love it! It's what make us happy. :)
- 11 May 2010 at 08:07
- John Dougherty said...
The whole point of these tests is - or should be - that 'normal' covers a huge range, and just because Rachel's 'blue' group is different from the reds & yellows it doesn't make them weird. Anyone who uses these tests to make people feel excluded or abnormal has completely missed the point.
What was this test? My wife works with psychometric tests, and would tell you there are some which are really useful, and some which are twaddle. I suspect one which asks you to choose between rabies and wotsits falls into the second category.

- Nick Green said...
My problem with tests like these is that they don't test the actual ME, just the me who is sitting thinking about me, as I do the test. I am often completely wrong about how I would respond in any given situation. I lie to myself about myself. Even to a simple question, say, 'Do you prefer going to a party or reading a book?' I just don't know. I know what I THINK I'm like (I'd choose the book) but in reality, I'd probably prefer the party.
Don't ask me what I'm like. I have no idea.
- 11 May 2010 at 09:25
- John Dougherty said...
Oh - and re. your last paragraph: when Mrs D uses these tests - in a business context - it's to help people understand that other people's thought processes and approaches may be different from theirs without being necessarily weird or wrong.
The idea should be to promote understanding of diversity, not conformity.
- 11 May 2010 at 09:29
- Dianne Hofmeyr said...
I thought this post wonderful... made me laugh out loud. What a weird world we live in when we continually want to categorise and generalise. Whose to say that the very things we might love one day aren't what we hate most the next. Your summing up of it as a writer is brilliant... 'I want to be the eccentric that I am, because in that way the world is an endlessly entertaining series of the bizarre, the surreal and the utterly incomprehensible. If I were organised and rational, possessed of that dubious quality 'common sense', then I am certain I would be incapable of doing what I enjoy doing most, making things up.'

Yes - a friend of mine was asked on one of these things: Would you rather be a bishop or a general? Unfortunately there is no option to quer: What is the difference? nor to ask: What is the questionnaire's concept of a bishop or a general, and how may it differ from mine?
- 11 May 2010 at 19:46
- Andrew Strong said...
Ok, so I made the bits up about watercress/rabies/wotsits. (Yes! I make things up!) But the description of the mechanics of the test (e.g. clustering likes and dislikes) was more or less accurate. And yes, I agree with Nick...the thing is - I don't really know what I like, who I am or what I'm doing, and I'm suspicious of anyone who claims they do. One thing I know for sure - I'm not certain of anything.
- 11 May 2010 at 22:33
- catdownunder said...
I am with you Andrew - and Nick. Those sort of tests do not describe ME at all. They do not describe my interests or how I feel or why I feel the way I feel. I am ME - not somebody else's description of me.
- 11 May 2010 at 22:53
- Farah Mendlesohn said...
Katherine, I recognised the Bishop/General question. That's from a "which role in the team should you play".
I was asked to do that once to help work out why I and a colleague kept clashing. Four different psychometric tests later, the mediator threw up her hands. Every single test said "these two people can't work together."
- 11 May 2010 at 22:54
- Farah Mendlesohn said...
Cadownunder and Nick Green: I liked the Myers-Briggs precisely because it was presented to me as "it helps you think through who you *think* you are."

Click here to listen to Roland Martin's interview with the woman who leaked Siegal's email.
David Siegel, founder and CEO of Westgate Resorts, sent an email to his employees warning them of layoffs if President Barack Obama is re-elected this upcoming November.
Siegel sent the email to over 6,000 employees, he wrote, "The economy doesn't currently pose a threat to your job. What does threaten your job however, is another 4 years of the same presidential administration."
The billionaire, who says he is responsible for the election of President Bush is standing by the email, saying he's not a bully.
Rumors circulated that the letter was fake but various news outlets confirmed with Siegel that it was real; although parts of the email are copied from a chain-letter that has frequented email circulations for many years.
The anonymous employee who leaked Siegal's email talked with Roland Martin this morning on the Tom Joyner Morning Show.
She explained to Martin, how when she first read the email she was shocked over what she was reading but fellow employees told her Siegal did this during the last election. Saying, "my jaw dropped…I'm looking around to see everyone else's reaction and everyone's just continuing with their everyday life and then I'm like does nobody see a problem with this," when she was told he's "just calling bluff."
Concerned over the legality of the email, the woman who wants anonymity over fear of losing her job decided to release the email because she took the email personal, she said, "at the end of the day the email was out of line."
The woman also pointed out that she has worked for Westgate for seven months and this was the second political email she has received.
Since releasing the email, the employee has not received any repercussions over the leaking. She currently works full-time at Westgate, has a part-time job, and is raising two children.
Despite the need for her job, she felt it was necessary for her to speak out, she explained thinking about remaining anonymous but she exclaimed, "Other people need to know what's going on."
Read the full email below.
To All My Valued Employees,
As most of you know our company, Westgate Resorts, has continued to succeed in spite of a very dismal economy. There is no question that the economy has changed for the worse and we have not seen any improvement over the past four years. In spite of all of the challenges we have faced, the good news is this: The economy doesn't currently pose a threat to your job. What does threaten your job however, is another 4 years of the same Presidential administration. Of course, as your employer, I can't tell you whom to vote for, and I certainly wouldn't interfere with your right to vote for whomever you choose. In fact, I encourage you to vote for whomever you think will serve your interests the best.
However, let me share a few facts that might help you decide what is in your best interest.The current administration and members of the press have perpetuated an environment that casts employers against employees. They want you to believe that we live in a class system where the rich get richer, the poor get poorer. They label us the "1%" and imply that we are somehow immune to the challenges that face our country. This could not be further from the truth. Sure, you may have heard about the big home that I'm building. I'm sure many people think that I live a privileged life. However, what you don't see or hear is the true story behind any success that I have achieved.
I started this company over 42 years ago. At that time, I lived in a very modest home. I converted my garage into an office so I could put forth 100% effort into building a company, which by the way, would eventually employ you. We didn't eat in fancy restaurants or take expensive vacations because every dollar I made went back into this company. I drove an old used car, and often times, I stayed home on weekends, while my friends went out drinking and partying. In fact, I was married to my business — hard work, discipline, and sacrifice. Meanwhile, many of my friends got regular jobs. They worked 40 hours a week and made a nice income, and they spent every dime they earned. They drove flashy cars and lived in expensive homes and wore fancy designer clothes. My friends refinanced their mortgages and lived a life of luxury. I, however, did not. I put my time, my money, and my life into this business —with a vision that eventually, some day, I too, will be able to afford to buy whatever I wanted. Even to this day, every dime I earn goes back into this company. Over the past four years I have had to stop building my dream house, cut back on all of my expenses, and take my kids out of private schools simply to keep this company strong and to keep you employed.
Just think about this – most of you arrive at work in the morning and leave that afternoon and the rest of your time is yours to do as you please. But not me- there is no "off" button for me. When you leave the office, you are done and you have a weekend all to yourself. I unfortunately do not have that freedom. I eat, live, and breathe this company every minute of the day, every day of the week. There is no rest. There is no weekend. There is no happy hour. I know many of you work hard and do a great job, but I'm the one who has to sign every check, pay every expense, and make sure that this company continues to succeed. Unfortunately, what most people see is the nice house and the lavish lifestyle. What the press certainly does not want you to see, is the true story of the hard work and sacrifices I've made.
Now, the economy is falling apart and people like me who made all the right decisions and invested in themselves are being forced to bail out all the people who didn't. The people that overspent their paychecks suddenly feel entitled to the same luxuries that I earned and sacrificed 42 years of my life for. Yes, business ownership has its benefits, but the price I've paid is steep and not without wounds. Unfortunately, the costs of running a business have gotten out of control, and let me tell you why: We are being taxed to death and the government thinks we don't pay enough. We pay state taxes, federal taxes, property taxes, sales and use taxes, payroll taxes, workers compensation taxes and unemployment taxes. I even have to hire an entire department to manage all these taxes. The question I have is this: Who is really stimulating the economy? Is it the Government that wants to take money from those who have earned it and give it to those who have not, or is it people like me who built a company out of his garage and directly employs over 7000 people and hosts over 3 million people per year with a great vacation?
Obviously, our present government believes that taking my money is the right economic stimulus for this country. The fact is, if I deducted 50% of your paycheck you'd quit and you wouldn't work here. I mean, why should you? Who wants to get rewarded only 50% of their hard work? Well, that's what happens to me. Here is what most people don't understand and the press and our Government has chosen to ignore – to stimulate the economy you need to stimulate what runs the economy. Instead of raising my taxes and depositing that money into the Washington black-hole, let me spend it on growing the company, hire more employees, and generate substantial economic growth. My employees will enjoy the wealth of that tax cut in the form of promotions and better salaries. But that is not what our current Government wants you to believe. They want you to believe that it somehow makes sense to take more from those who create wealth and give it to those who do not, and somehow our economy will improve. They don't want you to know that the "1%", as they like to label us, pay more than 31% of all the taxes in this country. Thomas Jefferson, the author of our great Constitution, once said, "democracy" will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."
Business is at the heart of America and always has been. To restart it, you must stimulate business, not kill it. However, the power brokers in Washington believe redistributing wealth is the essential driver of the American economic engine. Nothing could be further from the truth and this is the type of change they want. So where am I going with all this? It's quite simple. If any new taxes are levied on me, or my company, as our current President plans, I will have no choice but to reduce the size of this company. Rather than grow this company I will be forced to cut back. This means fewer jobs, less benefits and certainly less opportunity for everyone.
So, when you make your decision to vote, ask yourself, which candidate understands the economics of business ownership and who doesn't? Whose policies will endanger your job? Answer those questions and you should know who might be the one capable of protecting and saving your job. While the media wants to tell you to believe the "1 percenters" are bad, I'm telling you they are not. They create most of the jobs. If you lose your job, it won't be at the hands of the "1%"; it will be at the hands of a political hurricane that swept through this country.
You see, I can no longer support a system that penalizes the productive and gives to the unproductive. My motivation to work and to provide jobs will be destroyed, and with it, so will your opportunities. If that happens, you can find me in the Caribbean sitting on the beach, under a palm tree, retired, and with no employees to worry about.

That is purely insane.
He needs a healing!
This man was honest, imagine all the others that will not hire a black man, or give him a fair evaluation, because they are angry about a black man elected as President, how many black men have been fired how many black men have be abused by authorities just because of the election of Obama,
How will he know? Well it is Florida!!! Need I say more!!
How will he know? Well it is Florida!!! Need I say more!!
He presents a strong argument. And if it was an honorable candidate with a solid plan opposing this current adminstration, this would be something to seriously consider. But since Mitt Romney is shady, weasley, and lies incessantly, Re-elect President Obama.
Also, no matter how they try to frame it, the country's economy is not only the only thing at stake in this current election. Protections, rights, freedoms, international relations, and our food and water supplies are at risk. Romney's not the man for any of these. Again, re-elect President Obama.
Mitt Romney is clearly no diplomat. We don't want another war. Re-elect President Obama.
Mr. Siegel, I'm sorry, but you must either endure another four years, or make personal hard choices.
Obama, four more years!
This is the worst bull s… I have ever heard. "Don't vote for Obama because he will eliminate my Bush tax cut which would reduce my 5mil paycheck to 4.7mil. I need that extra .3mil to add another bathroom to my 26-bathroom, 30-bedroom mansion. If I don't get my way I will cut off my nose to spite my face. "I will close the business that I have been married to and love and enjoyed a very lavish life-style even in this poor economy, and I will go and sit on the beach, under a palm tree". Is he for real?
First of all this man built this company with the help of his workers, he got rich and they got a paycheck and the more people make a payheck the more they will spend it, maybe at the resort, so he could make more money to offset that extra tax. 2nd I'm sure there are investors and board members and even heirs to the throne who would not just let this company go. 3rd how utterly selfish can one person be, this man have made his bil and would rather fire people before he would contribute a little more to help this country get back on it's feet. I guess he does not appreacite his employees or what this country have done for him, after all he did say he would "retire to the Caribbean with no employees to worry about". 4th if his party offered something in the best interest of the employees they would vote for his party, but he is asking the employees to vote against their best interest and in the interest of David Siegel. 5th he take pride in helping get Bush elected?, he must know that the Bush admin is exactly what we are trying to recover from now. 6th does he think being a bully is the way to go? That's as bad as trying to surpress the vote.
Last but not least I threaten him, if Romey win I will not take my annual one week getaway at a resort, because I will probable lose my government job. I have a child with a pre-condition illness, when the affordable care act is repealed what should I do when I can no longer afford my health insurance. My quality of life will lessen just so he can keep that extra 3% tax that he say would devastate him. Please give me a break!
Don't forget, the first 250K of income is exempt from the 3% increase. So the expiration of the Bush tax cuts only applies to monies earned in excess of $250K! For example, if $300K is earned, only $50K is subject to the 3% increase. That's $1500. And to put it into further perspective, it's money that isn't used. This money just sits in portfolios collecting more interest. The notion that the money is used for hiring is just absurd.
How do I know this? My income is above $250K and I own a financial services company that sees the income and spending habits of individuals that have the level of income.
Republicans argue that letting the high-end tax cuts expire will hit small businesses and impede hiring. That is nonsense, and based on an overly broad definition of "small business," which counts any taxpayer who reports business income as a business owner, including lawyers and accountants working in partnerships, corporate executives who sit on other firms' boards and shareholders in "S-corporations," business organizations that can employ thousands of workers. Using a more reasonable definition of small business — for instance, having income and deductions of less than $10 million — a recent Treasury analysis found that only 2.5 percent of small-business owners would face higher taxes from the expiration of the Bush tax cuts. Of those who would be affected, most are unlikely to reduce hiring or investment because of ample deductions for business expenses.
As for job creation, it's not coming from the people with money. Over 90% of the assets owned by millionaires are held in a combination of low-risk investments (bonds and cash), the stock market, real estate, and personal business accounts . Angel investing (capital provided by affluent individuals for business start-ups) accounted for less than 1% of the investable assets of high net worth individuals in North America in 2011. The Mendelsohn Affluent Survey agreed that the very rich spend less than two percent of their money on new business startups.
You are very wrong. Probably around 25% of his employees make over $100k per year. I know that is not rich but I can tell you from experience that in his company, hard work pays, and pays well!! This is even without a 4 year degree. I am a black man and it is so funny to read these post!! The blind leading the blind. This is exactly why majority of us don't get ahead.
You do not know what you are talking about. Stop always trying to play the race card. If you knew the man, you could appreciate what he has done for Central Florida. I am a real black man who works for Westgate Resorts and he has given me and my family an opportunity of a good life when the incumbent President and his policies killed my thriving businesses when he did not go after the banks as he should have for creating the financial turmoil, but in turn passed laws that forced private companies and individuals under a national system of unfair regulations when it was the big banks who caused all of the madness that is has ruined our country. They got a slap on the wrist while I had to shut down a national franchise and a very profitable real estate company. Thanks for nothing Mr. President!!! God Bless David Siegel!!!
You have to be able to see past your own nose. If you are a business owner you should be smart enough to know this economy on a global level is at the end of its roads, the bankers know this hence the unwillingness to make loans. (Normalcy Bias) — Will be the cause of our worst nightmares coming true Riots in the streets. If you don't know what Normalcy Bias means look it up.
He`s a billionaire, he could care less, he`s a mirrior image of Mitt, people get layed off all the time. Romney made the same threat to planned parenthood, when he gets elected they will be out of work.
This is baloney! Do not fall for it Westgate employees. Call his bluff. You WILL live to regret it if you vote against President Obama. David Siegel is threatening you if you do not vote for him. Can you say class action lawsuit?
Let the idiot say what he wants to say. They can vote for whomever they want. They don't have to tell him. HOW WOULD HE KNOW HOW HIS EMPLOYEES VOTED.
Everyone that owns a westgate time share to sell it and never go back to one. People like this make me sick he looks like a red neck. What if people boycott his establishment. THIS IS WHY WE NEED TO VOTE Old ass rich white men.
Do what you got to do. So what you aer saying is that the President is basically responsible for the tax code? Now you threaten your employees with layoff if they don't vote the way that helps you keep your business running? Just another bully trying to scare people into doing what is best for you.Oh and I am still crying about the fact that Barack Obama is responsible for the fact that you had to take your children out of private schoolnd stop building you dream home Oh please give me a break you are nothing but a bully!!!!
I am a business owner and have been for years. I agree with him 100%! The 1% CREATES JOBS, Facebook stated with three people. Now he employes hundreds. He is the 1%. You can not tax them to death they can and will take your job elsewhere. People don't want to hear the truth, that's why you except your elected officials lying to you. Obama and Romney are BS-ing us!
They will not tell you the truth because they don't have to. When you become a business owner you see things in a different light you are exposed to different things, most live better. It does not mean you are better your standard of living if you are successful will change. You don't always believe all the BS.
What is he saying different from all the other OBAMA supporters? It comes across different because he is rich? No you think he is arrogant because he is rich. I live in Florida and have close friends that work for him and he does care. He has given people opportunities that has changed blacks, whites, Latinos, Mexicans, Haitians and so on lives.
He has given opportunities to people that have come from nothing and now have high positions in his company. i could go on and on. STOP believing everything you hear without questioning it. Let me as everyone this question if he and all the other 1% said the hell with this and shut their companies down and went to live in greece where the tax rates are more than favorable. What would you do, I know most of you will not have a job.
Think about it if you clock in everyday that's your job to clock in and earn your pay, but if the government started taxing you for state tax, federal tax, payroll tax, business tax and any other tax I may have missed all hell would break loose. Most people complain about FICA and medicare! He's different, he can't complain because he's a billionaire the hell he can. It's his money and he want's to protect it like you!

"In simple terms, today we are facing a Crisis that is far, far worse than 2008. Before it ends, it is quite possible that we will see the entire Western Financial System collapse and a new system put into place". The wealthy would rather lie and keep this system that has given them so much in place, no matter how much pain the masses will endure. The cuts the wealthy have made on Spain and Greece has got the people in the streets. We are no better then them we just happen to live in the only nation on the planet that can print out fake money by the federal reserve. Soon all other nation will realize the dollar bill is a useless un payable debt. And then the collapse, stop sleeping we need a real change. Our fear of change is going to make our worst nightmare come true.
CindyCruz,Why are you complaining that your folks work 70 hours with no breaks for lunch? Is there somebody standing over them with a whip forcing them to work like that? If not,why blame this president? At least your family got a business..Mr Mitt ain't gonna do squat for you,me or anybody else.
Sorry @cindycruz,
Do you even know about wealth? Well I do and you are the incorrect one. The money that was lost was from money of the greedy rich, who heavily invested in stocks to hopefully gain even more money. Those who maintained sound businesses and put their money in securities did not lose much of anything. I'm not talking about rich people, where one gambler or a sick family member could wipe you out…I'm talking about wealthy.
PLEASE NOTE the year 2007…President Obama was not in office.
"Richer people owned more bonds that didn't get killed," Hoyt said. "For middle-income households, their primary asset is their house, and the government stimulus backstopped incomes at the low end."
The median family's net worth dropped to $77,300 from $126,400 in 2007, the Fed said. The wealthiest 10% of families saw their median net worth rise 1.9% to $1.17 million.
Says who. You? Sorry if I don't buy into your Fox News brainwashing.
Your actually incorrect, ALL classes of people have gotten poorer over the past four years. More wealth has evaporated in the past four years than in anytime in history
There you have it, Ladies and Gentlemen, straight from the person who creates wealth for HIMSELF. You can bet that none of his employees are rich or he would not be able to threaten them in this way. I don't know if the tax code is a balanced system or not, but what I do understand is the rich get richer, while the poor get poorer and the middle class disappears. He whines about his long hours and not having an off day (his choice). Many Americans would love to have had a sample of the opportunity he's had. Many a father could not get hire…not because of skill, but because of skin. Many a mother has had to leave her babies alone at home to work a second job, with little pay, long hours, no days off and the sacrifices without any lavishness at the end of the day; not because of her skill or skin, but because of her gender. If all things were equal, there would be no real issue, but Mr. Siegel should ask himself how he felt the economy was going when former President Bush left office. The current President Obama did not have any hand in any of the past administrations that helped to ran our economy into the ground. When Mr. Siegel's was getting great tax cuts, there was no whining then, but now when he needs to help with the cleanup from that debacle….well let's just say that when someone quoted, it takes money to make money, they were not talking about anyone who benefited while the rest of us were working really hard. Personally, I resent anyone who proclaims that no one works as hard as they do, just because we are not as rich as they are. If we were all rich, no one would be rich.
So BYE Cindy!!!
David Siegel is a fool. Read the story about a fool call Nabal in the Bible 1Sam 25 and you'll see your boss. He and his man Bush got the American people in this mess and now he wants to blame you. Read what happened to Nabal.
WoW! He is really talking like he cares so much for his employees. When the real fact is, good or bad economy, he will lay off and ship jobs overseas just like the rest of the wealthy employers. Keep in mind it was Bush giving huge tax breaks to wealthy businesses who shipped jobs overseas which created a ripple effect on Wall Street and GM among others, which led to the U.S. economy crises. He is talking like he will go bankrupt overnight-Not True! When in fact, it is the common folk investing and buying his timeshares keeping him in business-Not the Government or President Obama. I am going to personally look at Westgate Resorts so that I may know what goods and services NOT to buy from him or any of his subsidiaries and advertisements. Westgate employees Do Not get bullied!!
I am 50 years old and this world has been messed up for 50 years…..How the hell can POTUS screw up so much in 4 years???? I believe the Unemployment rate for our people is high because Repubs and Tea Party own most of the shit in the great U.S. A. They are purposely not hiring blacks so that we can be brainwashed to think everything is POTUS's fault….I am not stupid white people, you just can't stomach the fact of a black man leading you….I am still voting for POTUS…..Another for of voter suppression!!!!
Great post… You get it!
Has anyone given any thought to the fact that this economic system is finished, the only thing holding it up is the feds pumping in billions a month of money with no way to pay it back no one can fix it its done. We would all do better to start coming up with a new system before its to late and stop listening to the greedy wealthy trying to scrape and steal what crumbs are left in a dead economy its no coming back its over. Sorry to bear the real news.
I was in Hilton Head in July, went to a Westgate time share presentation and I am not surprised, I was not impressed with the way his people try to strong arm u into buying into the time share. So glad I did not buy into this company, seems everything is President Obama's fault, get cho life (as Tamar says).
He's a billionaire. He knows that Mitt is going to lose, so he is saying this. As the article stated, he is responsible for the election of President Bush. He is one of the 'haters', that can't stand for MY President, being smarter than Dubya.
To all the posters knocking this guy….. He is actually one of the few who are vocalizing their frustration at the economy and future prospects.
My parents and I went to the Hispanic Business Expo this past spring and almost all of the attendees were dejected over the economy and so many said they were ready to quit and get out.
My parents own a restaurant, they work 70 hours a week and they are saying "Is it worth it?!?!"
When the government takes away the incentives(including limiting the amount of money you can make) to take risks and do better for your family…. everybody in this nation will become less wealthy and poorer.
Sorry to say but I don't blame him, he is RIGHT! This is prob a fake chain letter but whoever wrote it from a business owners standpoint is right….you don't make a ton of money unless you have worked very hard and what's the point if all of it is going to the tax man…oh and he makes other great points. I voting for ROMNEY all the way, believe me he's not the only business owner thinking this or this rather is right out of the minds of most business owners today. That is why Romney actually has a shot now! Good luck, vote for who YOU WANT and I will too.
Isn't it interesting that he blames a tax code that was partially established before the current politicians. Let me remind voters that the Regan "trickle" down theory of economics. That plan did not work either. Many of the 99 per centers did not benefit from that plan. Some were worse of. But there is hope. Vote!

Football Is Here!
With the Cowboys training camp starting in a few days. I am so excited about this upcoming season. The other day I was watching ESPN and Skip Bayless was talking to Patrick Crayton. The obvious question was asked whether the Cowboys are better now than with T.O.?
The answer that came out of Skip's mouth shocked me. Now, I can't stand Skip but his answer was awesome! He said with the running backs that we have, which he said could start for any team. He also praised Tony and the receiving core of Witten, Williams and Crayton. The Cowboys should be the best in the NFC East or at least the second best. For once I actually agree with him.
The Cowboys running backs are just beasts. The team will get Felix Jones back. We all know what Barber can do. Tashard has shown flashes of what a great running back he could be. Tashard ran all over the Steelers defense. Now we know what Witten can do. Tony and Williams have been practicing in the off-season together. Should gel just right in time for Tampa Bay. Now Crayton and Austin should expand the defenses and gain lots of yardage.
Wade taking over the defensive play-calling should help the Cowboys tremendously. When Wade took over in the middle of last season it came alive. This season should be just as good or even better. No more Williams getting beat on pass coverage situations. The sophomore seasons of Scandrick and Jenkins will also help. Demarcus Ware will make a run at the sack record again. I think he will get it this year. Spencer will have to show us why we got rid of Ellis.
Now the Cowboys need to cement Adams feet so he doesn't false start anymore. With that, Tony should have enough time to do what he does best (with no more Jessica distractions). My opinion is that the Cowboys will make the playoffs. If you agree with me or not, get ready for the Blue Star to make it's name on the new stadium. How 'bout them Cowboys!!

According to a new report from the U.S. State Department, an estimated 12.3 million people worldwide are currently trapped in some form of human trafficking and modern-day slavery. • Nearly 1,200 South Korean priests have signed a petition urging President Lee Myung-bak to step down, reported the Asian church news agency UCA News. "We can no longer bear the current situation that is destroying democracy," said the statement from the Catholic Priests' Association for Justice. • In a new study from Northwestern University School of Law, researchers argued that data show the death penalty does not deter homicide more than long-term imprisonment. • Palliative care that focuses on the psychological, social and spiritual needs of suffering and dying patients must be part of the nation's health care reform, said Colleen Scanlon (right), the new chairwoman of the Catholic Health Association's board of trustees. • President Barack Obama and Pope Benedict XVI will meet in Rome on July 10, the Vatican and White House have announced.

ZAMBIA opened the defence of their African Nations Cup title with a disappointing 1-1 draw in an eventful Group C clash with ten-man Ethiopia at the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit.
Ethiopia's Saladin Said saw his weak penalty saved in the 23rd minute and Sewnet Bishaw's team went a man down just after the half-hour mark when goalkeeper Jemal Tassew charged out of his area and made a high challenge on Chisamba Lungu.
Zambia made their numerical superiority count in first-half injury time through Collins Mbesuma, but Adane Girma equalised on 64 minutes, much to the delight of the thousands of noisy Ethiopia fans inside the ground.
The game got off to a lively start with Zambia defender Stophira Sunzu firing over from long range with just 72 seconds on the clock, but it was Ethiopia who should have taken the lead on 16 minutes. Girma's hopeful long ball was misjudged by defenders Sunzu and Hijani Himoonde and deflected into the path of Saladin, who perfectly lobbed the onrushing goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene only to see the ball take an amazing bounce off the rock-hard pitch and over the bar.
However, Saladin only had himself to blame for not scoring seven minutes later, seeing Mweene dive to his left and comfortably save his weak penalty after he had been brought down by Lungu. Ethiopia were made to pay for that miss on 32 minutes when Chansa's pass set Lungu clear and, after lobbing the ball wide, he was scythed down by Tassew, whose right boot caught Lungu painfully in the midriff.
Tassew stayed down and received lengthy treatment, but the referee decision wasn't swayed and the red card was shown as Tassew was carried off on a stretcher.
Nothing came from the resulting free-kick, but Zambia eventually took the lead in injury time as Isaac Chansa's clever header found Mbesuma in between two defenders and he found the bottom corner from 12 yards.Chansa and several team-mates celebrated with a well-rehearsed routine near the corner flag.
Zambia were unable to find a second goal to kill the game off in the second half and Ethiopia got back on level terms on 64 minutes when Saladin found Girma inside the area and he fired home off the near post.
Five minutes later, Mbesuma was unlucky to be booked for a dive in the area when Aynalem Hailu looked to be pulling his shirt, and despite pushing forward in search of the winner, Zambia were unable to claim all three points.

New supervisors play a key role in any organization's growth and development for many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that their main responsibility is creating a link between technical employees and upper management. Not only do new managers have a huge impact on the bottom line of most organizations, but they also represent their firms 24 hours a day, seven days a week, making them business agents for their respective companies in a sense.
Businesses, professional practices, health care facilities, and government agencies have learned that success comes to organizations that train and prepare their supervisors in effective leadership skills. Electrical contracting firms are no exception. In order for them to get a competitive edge in today's ever-changing marketplace, these firms must be dedicated to employee development. Traditionally, contractors have placed a high value on the technical skill of their employees, but many have left the leadership skills to trial and error for new supervisors. This no longer has to be the case, thanks to the availability of various avenues of training opportunities these days. No matter how an organization chooses to implement training, it's important to focus on the development of certain key traits in its new managers.
The following core skills are critical for new supervisors:
Effective supervisory skills and best practices.
Knowledge of legal considerations for supervisors on and off the job.
Effective communication and leadership skills coupled with a vision toward goal achievement.
Ability to motivate others toward established company directives.
Let's take a look at how each of these principles is put into action in the real world.
Supervisory skills
Because so many companies have historically relied on the trial-and-error method in this industry to develop effective supervisory skills, supervisors have made mistakes because they didn't know any better or simply lacked the training to make better choices. Some of these supervisors learned from their experiences, improving their leadership skills, while others continued to struggle.
By examining both successful and unsuccessful supervisors, certain precedents have been set. Knowing and adopting commonalities or best practices of effective supervisors provide a more productive work environment, higher morale, less stress, safer work habits, and a better advancement opportunity for supervisors. Additionally, knowing and learning from the mistakes of unsuccessful supervisors can assist managers in overcoming obstacles. Following is a list of the top 10 mistakes most new supervisors make:
Seizing power and attempting to hold onto it.
Failing to solicit feedback.
Delegating without authorizing.
Reprimanding employees in the presence of others.
Supervising everyone the same way.
Keeping the interesting work for themselves.
Siding with team members.
Distancing themselves from those they supervise.
Promoting an "us-vs.-them" attitude.
Engaging in illegal behaviors.
Identifying mistakes before they happen and knowing competencies of other successful supervisors will allow for an easier transition into the new supervisor role. With illegal behavior rounding out the top 10 list, it's especially important to examine the ramifications of such actions.
Legal issues
Supervisors who are not familiar with legal issues may unknowingly break the law. For example, working in an environment with a collective bargaining agreement will only give them guidelines that have been negotiated between the employer and the employee's representatives.
Several legal issues need to be brought to the attention of new supervisors, such as identifying a supervisor's legal responsibilities and discussing aspects of the employment relationship. Supervisors should know the definition of legal terms, such as at-will employment, exempt employees, nonexempt employees, discrimination, whistle-blowers, privacy, and defamation. In addition, they should be familiar with all company employment policies as well as the agencies that enforce these policies, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). And let's not forget about the big one: sexual harassment.
Sexual harassment can be defined in two ways. First is quid pro quo, a Latin phrase meaning "this for that." It is used to refer to sexual harassment that occurs when an employee is forced to choose between an employer's sexual demands or suffer an economic loss. The second is defined as a hostile environment, a form of sexual harassment that can occur between not only employee and employer, but also between two employees. Supervisors should know that sexual harassment can be verbal (jokes of a sexual nature, repeatedly asking someone out, or sexual innuendoes), physical (grabbing, leaning on a person, impeding or blocking movement), nonverbal (staring, following a person, or derogatory gestures of a sexual nature) and visual (posters, drawings, or pictures of a sexual nature). When supervisors see such things occurring at the job site or anywhere else, they must know that they need to act and how to act upon this behavior.
In addition to understanding the legal ramifications of these issues, new supervisors must also know how to achieve goals set by the department and/or organization.
Goal achievement
Effective leadership skills and vision toward goal achievement is often the most important job of a supervisor. Establishing written and well-defined company vision and goals is crucial to an organization's success as well as to the development of the supervisor. Without vision and goals, supervisors sit back and wait for things to happen, naturally becoming reactive instead of proactive in their duties. Company vision and goals should be realistic, easy to understand, commonly understood, inspiring, and meaningful.
Realistic goals are important. If your goals are not attainable, then they will not be motivating. Vision and goals must be appropriate for the supervisor and the organization in order to be met. For example, if a supervisor has a goal of pulling in a $20 million electrical installation on a large industrial job, then the company must be large enough to obtain this goal. A vision statement must be specific and easy to understand. Vision statements that are short are normally more effective than those that are long and drawn out. Companies want to avoid general statements as their vision statements, such as, "to be the best electrical contractor in our markets," because they are ambiguous, not to mention hard to measure. Remember that vision and goals must be well defined and obtainable. If they're understood by all members of the team, everyone will be working together as a cohesive unit with the same understanding and path toward attainment.
The best visions and goals also have emotional appeal, designed to inspire other team members. Having a vision or goal of 10% profit before tax may be inspiring to the supervisor but may have little effect on the other team members. Using vision and goals to motivate the team, such as obtaining backlog of work for the next 18 months, will motivate the entire team because they have a personal and emotional tie.
Helping an organization make decisions, prioritize short-term goals, and determine resource trade-offs, vision and goals should not be overlooked. Clearly establishing such objectives will help guide an organization down the road to success not only with it's customers but also with it's employees and vendors. In order to achieve these goals, new managers must be able to motivate the masses, a task that's often easier said than done.
Measuring motivation
It's not uncommon for new supervisors to struggle with their new role because they've always had to get the work done themselves. As a result, delegating and working through others becomes a challenge.
Motivating others is also difficult for some new supervisors because they must remember that their values and beliefs may not be shared by other team members. For example, some believe if they work hard enough they will get ahead. Others believe it's not what they know or how hard they work but whom they know. Trying to motivate these two types of individuals in the same way will undoubtedly lead to failure. It works the same with values. Some people value career success and wealth, while others may value close relationships and good citizenship. When motivating others, supervisors must know what is important to them, using these triggers to achieve individual goals that lead to success of the entire team.
Sometimes confused with leadership, management is more of an art than a science. Supervisors must manage their resources, such as material, tools, and information, but not their employees. Research has shown that employees prefer to be led, not managed, and respond positively to leaders who can motivate them. Tom Landry, the long-time football coach for the Dallas Cowboys, once said, "Leadership is getting someone to do what he or she doesn't want to do, to achieve what he or she wants to achieve." Knowing the difference between leadership and management is the key to the success of a supervisor at any level in the organization.

I can begin showing you all the pressies I've been working on.
Today I put the finalizing touches to one of the little pressies that has been on my to do list.
But over the weekend I actually got to give a little present to a very delighted mum to be of twins at her lovely baby shower.
Her reaction was exactly what makes giving a hand made gift so delightful, the little shriek as she realised what I had made and the big smile that said that's exactly what I wanted
Ok do you want to see
I was so excited when I thought to make it
here we go
She's having twins remember, oo I wanna squeal now they are just so cute.
Though in case your a bit confused and are thinking 'Oh how mean to call the babies thing 1 and thing 2'
don't despair it's a little joke playing on the Characters from the famous book
by Dr Seuss
The Cat in the Hat
I can only hope that her twins don't bring as much mischief as thing 1 and thing 2 did in The Cat in the Hat.
I used the same pattern I used for this little hat here.
and I totally love how they worked out
Isn't it just wonderful when you find the perfect colours for a project and it all comes together so well.
And now to just wait for the arrival of two little munchkins.

While Fujita was acting cowardly, he actually tried to help the other guy (and that is how he got killed).
The doc is break after witnessing the slaughter, and splitting up like he suggested is not a bad idea anyway.
And unlike the others, Saki and Satoru have more experience with life threatening situations.

Probably because I have no real attachment with the main characters if we speak of the extinction of this society I think that they could deserve it, but not because they are evil or for their twisted morality. Because the law of evolution. Squeerats have still to reach the peak of their evolution, they are growing, fast, humans instead apparently reached their limits. They are living into an unstable balance where the minimum alteration of that balance alone (w/o Yakomaru's help) could lead, if not to extinction, to suffer heavy damages. If we mixed this situation with their we-are-like-gods mindset that, along with engineering of the queerats and who know what else, prevented them considering Yakomaru as a threat, I'm pushed to slightly side with Yakomaru.
And for that last consideration I'm blaming firstly Satoru, and secondly Saki, who first understood his true intentions and apparently for 12 years didn't share this bit of information with anyone. (Don't know if I missed something about that issue) I got a bit surprised back then that he figured it out, out of the blue, as much as I remained surprised afterward to see that apparently he/they never informed at least Tomiko-chan of that.
More in general speaking of guilt, even if I like Tomiko-san, she is the first who has to be blamed. Giving the in-world settings I think her longevity, paradoxically, softened her perception of the danger, leading her to think that it would be acceptable to made that experiment. But if I can agree with her in that, she tried to move forward, I could less later, when Shun's tragedy happened. IIRC Shun erased his village, didn't he? So at that point she should have strongly considered to erase the remaining test subjects. With the in-universe morals that wouldn't have to be such a big deal. I'd like to know by the way who was the profiler who decided to put Mamoru into the experiment. The second big issue happened in killing Mamoru first and failing at it later. You first made an experiment leaving people think freely then you don't take in consideration that it wouldn't go against you trying to take that same freedom back? What I'm saying is that if you want to kill Mamoru, again, you better kill them all, but Saki eventually, who showed the most firm mind and take her under strict checking later.
On aside note I also find Saki's voice-over apparent lack of sense of guilty nor of understanding of what happened in these days sad, but coherent with the we-are-like-gods mindset I spoke of previously. So even if I can understand her in-universe logic, that should lead to the fact that they will not change their way of life.
Back to the actual crisis, now I'm really curious to know how did Yakomaru keep in control the child fiend. How did he unleash him against humans? From what I know he should be uncontrollable. So even if I can see Yakomaru having not raised him, but kept in captivity, somehow, still I'm curious to know why he didn't attack the squeerats and why apparently he is following Yakomaru's scheme. (unless I missed some bit of infos along the road, that it's highly probable. )
Did Yakomaru found a way to control a karmic demon humans didn't think of?

So finally everything makes sense to me, this is my theory of what happened, even though it is just a recollection of what we've learned or what has been implied so far:
So obviously this kid is Maria and Mamoru's son/daughter, how he ended up in Yakomaru's control we don't know but I do have 2 theories:
1-. They decided to have kids somewhere and Yakomaru offered his help, only to kill both and get the baby
2-. Yakomaru captured them both, forced them to have the kid and then killed them.
Anyways, so Yakomaru also somehow had access to the knowledge the kids got from their trip, so he found of that there was a human who was brutal enough to massacre humanity and how he became like that. So he used that knowledge to shape this kid, to have huge amounts of stress etc and become that monster and now he's using him to "win" the war.
This is my theory from what I've seen so far, now I wonder how are they gonna get rid of this kid.

Pretty good episode. I was really hoping we'd find out who the fiend was. That'll be a great reveal.
Now then.. let's all run away with our heads chopped off! Fox in the chicken coop!

Honestly, if they're going to give us a "bad end", I'd like them to go all the way with it and have Yakomaru successfully conquer the world.
"Bad ends" may be rare, but what's even rarer is an end where the main antagonist is totally triumphant. It might be interesting/refreshing to see an impressively cunning antagonist rewarded for his guile and intelligence for a change.
At the same time, though, there's another climax/ending sequence I can imagine that would be satisfying to me.
Spoiler for Imagined Ending Sequence, Totally Speculative:

I like squealer as a villain because even though I think he is quite nasty, there is no one really squeaky clean in this story. You can also argue that while Squealer manipulated much of what is now happening, this story is a tragedy and perhaps the events could have been prevented if things had happened just a little differently.
Anyways there are a lot of reasons why I think Squealer is such a well written villain. First of all absence of the writing I think the performance of Namikawa Daisuke is terrific and really adds to squealer's performance. I literally feel dread when he is on screen.
I also like the fact that Squealer manipulated things behind the scene and really went from nothing to well what he is, that is pretty impressive. I think it was Kuromitsu who said he was almost Shakespearean. In the end I think he is nasty but he was only able to do what he could because of the flaws & mistakes of the other characters.
Edit: I don't really like to think of perfect endings because then I might disappoint myself in the end but mine would be
But I think my ending is impossible since Saki is obviously narrating as an adult

I mean, what if it remains no more clear than it is right now? What if Yakomaru never gets to monologue about his "true personal beliefs" or something like that?
DragoZERO's interpretation of Yakomaru isn't unreasonable given what we know right now. I mean, your view of him isn't unreasonable either, but I see room for differing interpretations here (at least so far).
Yakomaru's methods are obviously very brutal, but then war is war. FDR ordered the internment of 100,000 Japanese Americans. Truman authorized the atomic bombing of Japan. These men are generally considered war heroes to Americans, and FDR is widely considered one of the greatest US Presidents of all-time.
People in power, especially people in power during a war, have to make hard, nasty decisions.

But Triple R I am saying I don't see that as Yakomaru's motives. I disagree with DragonZero that is what the ultimate outcome is.
Granted Dragon is giving him the benefit of the doubt and I am not. Of course it is open to interpretation at this point.
If it comes out that we still don't know in the end then it will still be open to interpretation like it is now.
I am not saying I am 100% right, I am just saying I interpret Yakomaru differently, so when it is said he has just motives, well to me he doesn't.

Tomiko in the previous episode spoke with the most certainty that the bones were indeed Maria's and Mamoru's. I agree with Tomiko on this because why would the queerats, and specifically, Yakomaru take the risk of being punished from the older humans and be noticed for his plans so early in its conception (plus he's already gotten what he needed anyway: the child)? There is every reason to doubt the truth of Squealer's words that the bodies of "young gods are similar to tall queerats'" because of his very intention to overthrow humans.

Hey, the did better than the Dolphins.

Also was enjoying rooting for the little man from the PNW. Too bad his defense failed in the final :30.
I was thrilled to see the cheater Belichick lose today, but was disappointed to see the likely murderer Lewis win. With the evil 9ers in the game in two weeks, I am hoping for a 0-0 tie that goes on for no less than 462 overtimes before the NFL declares the game over with no Lombardi trophy awarded this year. Screw those guys.
