|Daycare Center and Family Home Forum Daycare Center and Family Home owners, Directors, Operators and Assistants should post and ask questions here.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
I agree with you in regards to taking your skill set elsewhere... it might be in your best interest as you could be held responsible if someone were hurt or lost on your watch. Regardless of who owns or operates the center.
I appreciate everyones feedback! I had some similar thoughts, but was wanting to hear from people who had put them into action before and how exactly they were done, whether they were effective, etc. I will be trying some of the ideas tomorrow, so hopefully things start improving soon!
Thanks again!!
PS, our facility, being run out of a church, does not have to be licensed and thus we have even less leverage for making things less chaotic, unfortunately. I am not sure about the space laws in my state, but I know we have been over ratio before. The owner directs a licensed center and knows all of the regulations, but seems to prioritize numbers over quality of care, sadly. Im beginning to think I might be better off to take my skill set elsewhere, but really love some of my children and my coworkers so am doing my best to make it work.
Is the half door low enough to lift kids over it? If not, you might consider a walk through gate. Either have your aide keep the kids occupied while you handle parents (since you have information to pass on), or start some kind of daily activity sheet that tells the basics (how/ what they ate, how/ when they napped, what they learned or did, etc). Pick a time when most of the parents start picking up, have the kids ready, messes cleaned up and when parent comes, say "hey, we'll be right there!... Timmy, Mom's here!", grab child's hand, walk them to the door. A quick message and goodbye and turn back to the group. Be friendly, but resist the urge to talk more than necessary, it will eventually teach them to shorten things--unless they're attention hogs, I've had those. It's fun... Lol...
I would start a single file setup--1 parent in the room picking up at a time. Tell them you've had issues with the door being left open, so you're making changes. I would also suggest that you use the furniture to create an entrance way that divides just inside the door from the rest of the room. Once you've walked a child to their parent, they're not allowed to return to the play area. If you have a lingerer, you can either so, "oh! Looks like Susie's mom is here. We'll see you tomorrow, Tommy!" or if no one is there, "well, I'll let you get on with your evening, I need to get these blocks put away / Susie's coat on, etc"
|I work at a center as well and we are also not allowed to have our phones out. All drop off and pick ups happen in the gym because of the chaos. We usually have parents sign their children in or out and have them come to their individual classrooms and collect their things at the end of the day
Anyways @OP~ I would request that your director come and either observe or participate in pick up time. That might be the only way she sees/understands what chaos you are referring to. Also it is a HUGE safety risk for parents to be leaving the door open and that would probably be the angle I'd use to approach your director about the issue at hand.

|Sounds like it is well below 20ft usable space per.
I have had to employ many different strategies for end of day pickup as well. It is almost always the most stressful part of the day for everyone.
It really depends on the age but I would always engage the kids in a story time. Getting everyone to sit in a circle and read a book or just tell a story from memory or sing songs together. Then when a parent came in I would say Jimmy, mommy is here and he would leave the circle. Right before this it was clean up time so the play area was put away completely. As for communicating with parents maybe a communication book might be helpful. We always used communication notebooks to let the parents know of anything going on because of this very reason.
Another option is to bring out the most engaging toy at the very end of the day. Some people have suggested boxes of toys that change every day and are new to the kids. I used colouring and play doh at the end of the day but this would also depend on the kids you have.
As for parents I would send out a newsletter or post a BIG sign on the door to PLEASE CLOSE THE DOOR BEFORE LEAVING and remind remind remind!
I work in a daycare center, so I am not technically supposed to have my phone out. I would like to simply have parents not come into the room and bring the children to the doorthis would not be terribly difficult, as I have a half door and can see parents comingbut my centers owner is insistent that parents be allowed to come into the rooms. I dont know how much my director will allow for me to have specific rules in my class, but I would almost like to have parents come to the door and wait to be let in. Ive had some parents who do this naturally, it is just hard to change habits once they are already in place. I have considered finding a quiet activity such as table activities or story time, instead of free play; and I think that might help the level of chaos a little, but I dont know how children who have just woken up from a nap will take to sitting still for an extended period of time.
|Welcome to the forum. Would there be a way to manage the parents by telling them to text you when they are there and you could either have them come up one at a time or could bring their child out the door one at a time? I think that you need to set the tone of what is expected at pick up time. Possible revise your pickup policy to manage the problem.
---Back story---Okay, so I am in a room probably 20' by 15' with now 12 toddlers, age 20 to 30 months, plus a teacher's aid. Also, of course, tables, bookshelves, and two cabinets. There is very little I can do about the space, as it is a shared space--for instance, I would like to rearrange and move one of the cabinets out, but am unable to.
---Actual problem---This is an okay situation--until pick-up. Now, drop-off is a little chaotic, too, with so many parents coming and going and the need to calm down so many criers (especially since I have a lot of new children at this point), but that is to be expected. Pick-up, however, is an utter nightmare. A bunch of parents come at the same time--again, can't be avoided, but with a room this size, makes for a very crowded space. Children linger by the door in groups, waiting for their parents once they know they are coming. Parents often leave the door open, causing me to have to rush over there and close it so that no one leaves the room. It gets so chaotic that I often forget to inform parents of the things that they need to know and I feel leaves a sense of chaos with parents about their kid's room--which I hate, because the rest of the day really runs quite smoothly.
I have never been a fan of this time of day, but this year just seems so much worse. Maybe it is the group, or just having 2 more kids (I used to have 10), but it makes the end of every day so awful and impedes my ability to develop a relationship with the parents, I feel. What do your kids do at pick-up? Do you have any management strategies that might be helpful?

Wanted to ask if the plastic three color brass sorting trays that I see on line work? I ask because I pick up any brass left behind and currently sort by hand...I see they also now make a 9mm/380 sorting tray and would also ask for feedback as to if this also works....Thanks Mark
They do actually work pretty well for me.I have the basic 3 color and don't have a 9/380.
Thanks Mark - I was just watching some videos where folks have attached their 5 gallon bucket to a brass vibratory cleaner base to allow the person to not have to manually shake..I also saw where a guy cut about 2" off of the tops off of two buckets and mounted these 2" circles to his colored trays to allow more space between each tray thus allowing him to sort more at a time......Mark
My buddies hand shake then starting with the big (obviously). Sure cuts down the handling.
Haven't heard of vibrating them.
I have been using the sorters for years. Just the 3 basic and they work very well. What they will not do is sort the 9mm brass from the 223 brass if you have rifle and pistol mixed. They both end up on the bottom tray. Other than that well worth the money for the time savings.
Thanks guys for taking time to provide feedback.....I will get me a set on order tonight as my Christmas gift from my wife.....Merry Christmas...Mark
Pretty neat. Didn't know anything like that existed.
Now if they could only have one that sorted out .45 ACP small/large primer, that would be the best
"I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them."
Yeah they work well. Just do a couple three handfuls at a time. I have the .380 plate but don't bother with it much; I've started sorting 9mm for internal stepped brass and crimped primers so it's easy to cull the .380/Mak then.
Here's my quick overview with tips etc
My hovercraft is full of eels.
|Hoping for better pharmaceuticals
I sort through about 700 - 1000 pieces of brass each week. The sorters save a ton of time for me and I do use the metal .380 plate to stop those buggers from creeping into my 9mm.

If you have the standard 3 stack type. You can drill a hole in the middle of all 3 and bolt it onto a vibatory brass tumbler. Makes for quick work sorting them.
|Web Clavin Extraordinaire
We use those for our action pistol group. They work well until they're overfilled, then the cracks get plugged up.
Real problem is they don't sort out the rubber chunks from the backstop that get swept up.

Educating the youth of America, one declension at a time.
Guys - Quick update - In the past two days I have successfully sorted 25 gallons of brass that I have picked up from various local ranges over the past three to four years and I did it all thru my sorting trays....
I watched several videos on you tube where folks had taken their vibrating brass cleaners and modified them to create a semi-auto vibrating sorter and man did it work like a charm...I started with a Frankfort Arsenal vibrating cleaner and I used 3 gallon plastic buckets to create my primary bucket that is attached to the machine as well as the spacers between each sort tray to allow more aggressive brass movement...I also cut the bottom out of a 3 gallon bucket and used that bucket for my 380 brass sorting tray since it is an aluminum stand alone tray that can be used with the standard sorting trays or as a stand alone unit....
The best modification was adding an extra small weight to the weight that is attached to the motor shaft to allow the machine to generate even more vibration. The final thing I did was enlarged the base plate so the unit would not turn over...
These sorting trays (including the 380 aluminum tray) are worth their cost....I am ready now to go back out and start picking up brass again....Mark
That's awesome. I too spent last week sorting all of my brass. I don't think I hit 25 gallons but it took my quite a few hours. I did it all by hand though with the trays. Do you have any pics or video of your setup?
My hovercraft is full of eels.
I do not right now but will get a few photos and possibly some video in the morning and post...I was given about 15 gallons by a local guy that had picked up all types of brass for many years and got out of reloading.....I gave him 1000 rds of 22LR ammo as a swap for the brass..
Pictures and/or videos in the morning.....MarkThis message has been edited. Last edited by: sigarmsp226,
Sorry 1KPerDay (not N-Frame) - Here is my simple redneck set up - that works great....
Started with a $45.00 Frankfort Arsenal Vibrating tumbler I purchased at Academy Sports...Because a 5 gallon bucket bottom is slightly larger than a 3 gallon I went with the 3 gallon because it fits perfectly inside the FA bowl....I used the provided threaded rod and wing nut to attach my bucket to the bowl...You can also see I took a scrap piece of aluminum and made a larger base for the unit so it would not tip in use...I also added a small weight to the already installed weight on the machine (video on you tube shows how to do this) and now this set up can support and vibrate all trays and spacers without any issues or problems...
I stack the entire three tray and two spacer set up on the base bucket and turn on the machine...Five to ten seconds later I start dumping brass and will usually dump 5-6 handfuls - slowly one hand full at a time to allow the sorting process to work as designed with each cycle before removing the trays and dumping the sorted brass...During this process I never turn off the machine nor do I turn it off when I get the black tray out and throw on the 380 bucket and tray....I only turn the machine off after about 5-6 complete cycles to get the 380 brass, trash, 22 hulls, etc out of the bottom of the primary bucket.....
I stack the trays in their respective order and place the cut off top from a 3 gallon bucket between each tray to allow for more space between each tray...These cut off bucket tops are NOT attached to the trays...They are just inserted as I stack the trays on the base bucket.... The pictures show the yellow sorting tray alongside one of the two bucket tops I cut to create the spacers I use between the top tray and the second tray, and between the second tray and the third tray...
This picture is not great but if you look close you will see - from the top down the following set up - yellow tray - bucket top - blue tray - bucket top - black tray - primary bucket that is attached to the vibrating bowl....
Then I cut the bottom out of one 3 gallon bucket to use with my 380 sorting plate that I use after the brass has been sorted down to the "black" tray (380/9mm/223) and when using the 380 tray the set up only has the 380 bucket and tray on the machine... Everything that the black tray caught before now gets slowing dumped into this set up...As I pour in the brass the 22's and trash go thru as well as the 380's and the 9mm stay on the top side of the aluminum tray....
This last photo shows the 380 bucket sitting on the primary bucket with the 380 sorting tray installed and the black tray sitting on top of it (just for a reference point to show I only use the 380 aluminum sort bucket and tray with whatever has remained in my black sorting tray).....
Awesome. Thank you for taking the time!

10 Hip Hop Tracks That Make Awesome Workout Songs
Rap is similar to electronic music in the sense that it's entirely possible to have a song that's a hit in the clubs but never heard on the radio. These are the tracks you might like listening to, but absolutely love dancing to. To better demonstrate this point, we've created a playlist that helps harness that dynamic energy heard in the clubs so you can channel it into your next workout.
To kick off your routine and ease into the genre, start with one of the slower tracks, like the 70 to 80 beats per minute (BPM) songs from Childish Gambino and Riff Raff (Katy Perry's date to the last MTV Video Music Awards). When you're warmed up, jump into a pool of all-star DJ's with the hit collaboration, Feelin'.
Generally an interval workout will mix slow and fast songs, but Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora's "Black Widow" is an interval workout in itself-it yo-yos between 82 BPM on the verses and 164 BPM for the choruses. Lastly, while most rap music relies on double digit BPMs, there are a host of triple digit hits in this mix as well. So for those gearing up for cardio, you'll find energy in an uptempo track from college radio favorite Hoodie Allen and an equally brisk return to Pharrell Williams' rap roots.
In spite of focusing on a single genre, there's still lots of variety here: slow songs, fast songs, club smashes, radio hits, and more. Whether you're a casual listener or a diehard one, you should find something to freshen up your current playlist. So, pick up a few new tunes, turn them up, and let the beat propel you onward!
Childish Gambino – Sweatpants – 80 BPM
Will.I.Am, Miley Cyrus, French Montana, Wiz Khalifa & DJ Mustard – Feelin' Myself – 97 BPM
Nicki Minaj – Anaconda – 130 BPM
Juicy J, Wale & Trey Songz – Bounce It – 140 BPM
Big Sean, Lil Wayne & Jhene Aiko – Beware – 98 BPM
Iggy Azalea & Rita Ora – Black Widow – 82 BPM
Schoolboy Q – Man of the Year – 113 BPM
Hoodie Allen – Show Me What You're Made Of – 122 BPM
Major Lazer & Pharrell Williams – Aerosol Can – 128 BPM
Far East Movement & Riff Raff – The Illest – 71 BPM

Hip-hop sweats. It grunts. It pulls and pushes. If there's a pause to rest, the beat always returns. And all along it swaggers and boasts and never surrenders. Hip-hop isn't just something to play during a workout. It is a workout. Just try to sit still through Outkast's "B.O.B." or keep your pulse steady through Kanye's "Stronger." Blast Wu Tang Clan's "Bring Da Ruckus" through your headphones and will yourself not to make any ruckus. Hip-hop motivates and these 50 tracks—compiled by our plate-clanging, mile-stockpiling, stadium-step-burning editors at Men's Health—motivate best. Turn it up.
1. "Lose Control" by Missy Elliot (feat. Ciara, Fatman Scoop)
What, did you think that we were going to start things off with anything less than a nonstop banger from one of the greatest female hip-hop artists of all time? GET AT IT.
Motivating lyric: Everybody here // Get it outta control // Get yo backs off tha wall // 'cause Misdemeanor said so
2. "B.O.B." by Outkast
Yeah, yeah, yeah "Hey Ya!" whatever. Three years before that pop phenom, Andre and Big Boi went as hard as they possibly could on this five-minute powerhouse from 2000's Stankonia. The message: Don't say you can do anything you can't back up.
Motivating lyric: You can't stop a train // Who want some? Don't come un-prepared
3. "Go!" by Killer Mike
Before they were Run the Jewels, they were Killer Mike and El-P. This 2012 track off R.A.P. Music is nonstop on vocals with El-P scratching and clapping on a beat that sounds like a 100-yard dash.
Motivating lyric: I go in, I go hard // I go stupid, oh my God
4. "Way of Life" by Lil Wayne
Long before Tha Carter III, before Wayne's beef with Birdman, before the fallout of Cash Money, there was this laid-back, living-good 2002 jam that focused on how great it is to be, well, great. You know when you take a week or two (or a month) off from the gym? Play this for the motivation to return.
Motivating lyric: Baby, I'm a stunna // I ain't goin' change it // Don't, you, know, it's a way of life?
5. "Go Harder" by Chief Keef
Sosa pushes and pushes and pushes on this 2015 dis track. And that auto-tune? The way it ratchets up the hook each beat? As if it was turning Super Saiyan? Harness that power.
Motivating lyric: We be goin hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard
6. "Victory" by Puff Daddy (feat. The Notorious B.I.G., Busta Rhymes)
Biggie unleashes his lyrical genius over a sample from Bill Conti's Rocky soundtrack. The fact that the song was released just a few months after B.I.G.'s death adds another layer to Sean Combs heavy intro: "Yo, the sun don't shine forever // But as long as it's here then we might as well shine together."
Motivating lyric: Excellence is my presence, never tense, ever hesitant
7. "Parking Lot" by Anderson .Paak
Malibu had plenty of songs that begged you to crank the treadmill speed faster, but this tight-leash of a track has a quiet urgency that clips at your heels.
Motivating lyrics: Coming closer to midnight and I'm wide awake // And ain't you afraid to fade?
8. "Talk to Me" by Run the Jewels
It's as if the world has ended and RTJ has commandeered the megaphone, the podium, and the masses. Who needs a personal trainer when you can have Killer Mike yell "I TOLD YA'LL SUCKAS" at you during reps?
Motivating lyric: Brave men didn't die face down in the Vietnam muck so I could not style on you // I didn't walk uphill both ways to the booth and back to not wild on you
9. "Street Power" by Ho99o9
Sampling John Carpenter's Halloween would be scary enough, but then the Jersey hip-hop-punk group goes wild in a succession vocals that feels as if you're being stalked by a madman. And the only thing you can try to do is run faster.
Motivating lyric: No time for the weak I'm just tryna surviva
10. "The Other Side" by Dizzee Rascal
The grime rapper asks the questions that anyone who has ever sweat for the sake of change is very, very familiar with.
Motivating lyric: How bad do you want it? // Do you really, really want it?
11. "Chips" by Talib Kweli (feat. Waka Flocka Flame)
The Brooklyn rapper goes undefeated in a sample of a 1999 Ruff Ryders' song powered by Swiss Beatz. You'll feel like you have your very own marching band behind you—one led by a full-tilt Waka Flocka.
Motivating lyric: I need the ring, gimme the ring // I don't diss rappers, get in the ring // Sit in the clink before I ever sing // You see me winning, chips with my team
12. "X" by Kendrick Lamar (feat. 2 Chainz, Saudi, Schoolboy Q)
13. "Millidelphia" by Meek Mill (feat. Swizz Beatz)
Meek goes on a victory lap through his hometown on this part-ode, part-slam 2018 track. His perseverance is infectious. Give in.
Motivating lyric: Wooh! // Show time! // King's back! // Ha!
14. "Uproar" by Lil Wayne (feat. Swizz Beatz)
Swizz delivers a beat that sounds like a cross between an NBA team entrance and the climax of a car chase movie. And Weezy grabs it and runs. This one's a reminder that hip-hop, like working out, isn't always meant to be taken so seriously.
Motivating lyric: Aimin' at your head like a buffalo // You a roughneck, I'm a cutthroat
15. "No Problem" by Chance the Rapper (feat Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz)
You could argue whether Chance or Kendrick is the biggest name in hip hop from the last 10 years, but how can you argue with a song like "No Problem"? Chance's cadence, and a star-powered back-up crew, leads through verses that name-check Petey Pablo, Yeezus, and … Uncle Luke?
Motivating lyric: You don't want no problems, want no problems with me
16. "'Till I Collapse" by Eminem (feat. Nate Dogg)
This hustle-till-you drop bonanza was only heightened by its pop culture tentacles (remember that Call of Duty trailer?). The song remains equal parts early 2000s nostalgia and weight room noise. Crank up that iPod nano!
Motivating lyric: 'Til the roof comes off, till the lights go out // 'Til my legs give out, can't shut my mouth.
17. "Remember the Name" by Fort Minor (feat. Styles of Beyond)
In which Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda writes perhaps the greatest hype song of the century.
Motivating lyric: It's not about the salary / It's about reality and making some noise
18. "Jesus Walks" by Kanye West
Miss the old Kanye? The 2004 Kanye? The I'm-Gonna-Sample-Curtis Mayfield-and-A-Tribe-Called-Quest-and-The-Arc-Choir Kanye? Then play this throwback, which carries the feeling of reaching the summit of something seemingly insurmountable.
Motivating lyric: The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now
19. "Rock Star" by N.E.R.D.
Pre-hat Pharrell, all angry in this revenge tune, spits his bars over guitar blasts and drum kicks that sound pulled from a Rage Against the Machine b-side.
Motivating lyric: You think that you don't have to ever quit // You think that you can get away with it
20. "Ruff Ryders' Anthem" by DMX
Fun workout: Do a jump squat every time you hear "what?" in the verses. You'll have a break in the hooks. If you can make it to them.
Motivating lyric: All I know is pain // All I feel is rain // How can I maintain // With mad shit on my brain?
21. "Yonkers" by Tyler, The Creator
This twisted diatribe pinballs you inside the head of a sociopath on the verge of destruction. The Hitchcock-like beat pulsates as Tyler descends into madness and, at least for the 4:11 length of this song, you're too horrified to pay all that much attention to the strain of your workout.
Motivating lyric: They say success is the best revenge
22. "Nice for What" by Drake
OVO puts aside his is whine-and-grind style to go crazy on a Lauryn Hill sample. Watch the breakdown!
Motivating lyric: That's a real one in your reflection // Without a follow, without a mention
23. "Get to Steppin'" by Junglepussy
This is jumprope music. This is shadow-boxing music. This is the NYC artist rat-a-tatting all over three and a half minutes of old-school. This is Billy Blanks double-time come-on come-on come-on give me more motivation.
Motivating lyric: All about pace pesos // All about papes
24. "Ready or Not" by Fugees
There's a scope and a magnitude to this 1996 classic that immerses you in the thick of an action movie. Put this on during a break-of-dawn run and you'll feel it.
Motivating lyric: I must confess, my destiny's manifest // In some Goretex and sweats I make treks like I'm homeless
25. "Stronger" by Kanye West
Before Pharrell and Daft Punk teamed up, Kanye sampled their 2001 "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" as the blood-pumping beat for this 2007 Graduation track. You probably already have this one your workout playlist, but just making sure.
Motivating lyric: N-now th-that that don't kill me // Can only make me stronger
26. "Level Up" by Ciara
Between all the countdowns and the clapping and the encouragement, this is like a fitness bootcamp class song-i-fied.
Motivating lyric: Fake friends get dropped like weight // Team love, don't want no hate // I'm grindin', I'm shinin' // Up, up, up on my way
27. "APESHIT" by The Carters
Bey-Jay triplicate rapping about how amazing they are makes you want to be more amazing.
28. "Karaoke" by Big Freedia (feat. Lizzo)
New Orleans' biggest voice in bounce music recruits Lizzo for three minutes of audial aerobics that leave you desperately in need of a rest period.
Motivating lyric: Oh, if you live this loud, show it, show it, show it, oh // It's your moment now, sing it, sing it, sing it, shine
29. "Get Your Self Up" by KRS-One
The legend lays out the harsh truth over a beat that clomps and stomps. This isn't a song. This is a proclamation.
Motivating lyric: You been knocked down? // Get yourself up! // You been shot down? // Get yourself up!
30. "Blood on the Cobblestones" by Ghostface Killah (feat. Adrian Younge)
Tony Starks time-travels in the track off the 2013 mob-horror concept album Twelve Reasons to Die. It's 2:35 of all-out war. Duck and cover or stand and fight.
Motivating lyric: Make a lead on me, repping for the territory // No stepping on me, brethren that's a negatory
31. "7/11" by Beyoncé
Queen B grabs ahold of a monster of a trap beat and doesn't give up her grip till the last minute, which provides a sorely needed cooldown.
Motivating lyric: Sweatin' out my blow out, sweatin' out my press // This trick about to go off, mad cause I'm so fresh
32. "Space Tech Banana Clip" by Babbletron (feat. MF DOOM)
As if the mighty morphin power of Jaymanila, Cool Calm Pete, and DJ Pre weren't enough, the trio brings in Metal Face for even more madness in a song that sounds like a treadmill set too fast.
33. "Hate Me Now" by Nas (feat. Diddy)
Not even Diddy's lackluster "singing" (still love you, Combs) can ruin the epic scope of this song, which derives its grandeur from sampling the operatic "O Fortuna." Nas, lyrical guns blazing, lays waste to every adversary.
Motivating lyric: I had to hustle hard never give up // Until I made it
34. "Momma Said Knock You Out" by LL Cool J
Did you forget that LL was mean? Every verse from this 1990 TKO is a finely constructed setup of jabs that lead to the star-seeing uppercut blows. Damage! Damage! Destruction, terror, and mayhem!
Motivating lyric: Shadow boxing when I heard you on the radio // I just don't know // What made you forget that I was raw
35. "Bring Da Ruckus" by Wu-Tang Clan
The opener to 1993's Enter the Wu-Tang sounds like the moment the gun goes off, the racers grapple for positioning, and the battle for pole position changes with every turn. There's competition, yet there's teamwork. This isn't rap. This is sport.
Motivating lyric: P.L.O. style, hazardous, cause I wreck this // dangerous, I blow sparks like Waco, Texas
36. "Fight the Power" by Public Enemy
It's a fists-pumped, line-chanted, smoke grenade soundtrack to a revolution.
Motivating lyric: We got to pump the stuff to make us tough // From the heart // It's a start, a work of art
37. "Sabotage" by Beastie Boys
Mike D, MCA, Ad-Rock at their best. Goofy. Powerful. Absolutely insane. Time your toughest set to the surging at 2:20 and there's nothing you can't do.
Motivating lyric: I'm out and I'm gone // I'll tell you now, I keep it on and on
38. "Gimme Some More" by Busta Rhymes
Busta's tommy-gun delivery sprays a swinging and swaying beat with so many lyrical killshots it's hard not to get caught up in the chaos.
Motivating lyric: Fully equipped, you know we come wit' all the supplies // Got a big gun, and I'm a show you the size
40. "Push It" by Rick Ross
Of course Da Boss is going to find an excuse to rap over a song from the Scarface soundtrack. Deploy it when you need a push.
Motivating lyric: I'm pushing it hard // I'm pushing it south // If he pushing a line // He pushin for Ross
41. "Push It" by Salt-N-Pepa
Because breakdancing is a workout too.
Motivating lyric: Better make it fast or else I'm gonna get pissed
42. "DNA." by Kendrick Lamar
His thesis: Whatever the odds, greatness is within you.
Motivating lyric: I just win again, then win again like Wimbledon, I serve
43. "3230" by Vince Staples
There's paranoia and pandemonium in this reserved song of survival off 2015 Summertime '06 double album.
Motivating lyric: Fortress ones and fortified, just tryna build my castle up
44. "Really Doe" by Danny Brown (feat. Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, Earl Sweatshirt)
Danny raps like all hell has broken loose and he's happy to dance in the flames. Throw Kendrick, Ab-Soul, and Earl into the End of Days carnival and you have a weird and wonderful firecracker to throw into any stale playlist.
Motivating lyric: Life is like an appetite of truth and dare, I double dare ya // Life can end in vain before the end is near
45. "Crutches, Crosses, Caskets" by Pusha T
Motivating lyric: I'm Yasiel Puig // I'm in another league
46. "Thug Luv" by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony (feat. 2Pac)
There's the buzzing of what sounds like an electric chair. There's the cackling of animatronic crows. And then there's the click-click-bang of gunshots that reverberate through this 1997 display of rap dominance.
Motivating lyric: Life: pleasure and pain stuck in this game, holler my name! // We all gon' die, we bleed through similar veins
47. "Breath" by Fabolous
Remember to.
Motivating lyric: And I'm getting better year by year, like they say wine do
48. "Shut Up" by Stormzy
The vast majority of the other artists on this playlist hail from the U.S. of A, but one of the best MCs in the game right now resides across the pond. Stormzy has helped put grime, the UK garage/jungle hybrid, on the map internationally, and "Shut Up" is one of his signature songs. Allow Stormzy's freestyle lyrical boasts to electrify your next workout.
Motivating lyric: If you don't rate me, shame on you
49. "BOOGIE" by BROCKHAMPTON
The boy band scores the pop off at a dance party where everyone has lost control and all you can do is finish strong. (Or call your momma.)
Motivating lyric: I've been beat up my whole life // I've been shot down, kicked out twice // Ain't no stoppin' me tonight
50. "Survival of the Fittest" by Mobb Deep
Congratulations. You, too, have survived.
Motivating lyric: You could run but you can't hide forever

20 Hip-Hop Workout Songs
Getting motivated in the gym can be freaking difficult. Sometimes, just hauling yourself off the couch is a challenge; other days, it's that elusive bench press PR that gets you down. But sometimes, motivation can be found in the little things in life: the perfect gym shorts, a new whey protein flavor that tastes like your favorite dessert, or an epic playlist.
From Eminem to DMX to Missy Elliot, we think these 20 hip-hop songs will deliver the perfect amount of fun, intensity, and energy, along with a delicate a hint of nostalgia. There's no way you'll get through all of these songs without cracking a smile, nodding your head, or remembering "that one time."
We only have one request: Don't let the awesomeness of this playlist distract you from killing your workout.
1. Eminem, "'Till I Collapse"
Via Universal Music Group
Although this pregame pick-me-up jam could hardly be more popular, we didn't think any good workout playlist could exist without Eminem's promise to never fucking quit. Follow his lead.
2. Outkast, "B.O.B."
Via Sony Music Entertainment
A jumbled gathering of seemingly unorganized cords that gets you revved up to lift? Yep, that pretty much sums up this new-millennium classic. Who cares if you can't make sense of the lyrics? Pump the bass and let this fast-paced tune help you push through that final set. And don't forget to add weight. Big Boi says so.
3. Beastie Boys, "Intergalactic"
Via Universal Music Group
The lyrics don't make sense and the sound is experimental, but that doesn't mean this song won't mix well with squats and pull-ups. Crank up the volume and let the beat, mmmmmmm drop!
4. Dr. Dre feat. Snoop Dogg, "Still D.R.E."
Via Universal Music Group
We're taking hip-hop back to 1999: back to hitting corners in low lows and perfecting the beat. You liked this song in the 7th grade, you'll love it now. Pour some aminos out for your gym homies and show some love for the street.
5. 2pac, "California Love"
Via Universal Music Group
You don't have to be a West Coast kid to understand the power of the California dream. You might be working out in Akron, Ohio, but 2Pac can make you feel like you're lifting in the middle of a California party.
6. YG, "Who Do You Love?"
Via Universal Music Group
Never has the succession of A, F, and E chords on the piano sounded so, well, gangsta. Grab a pair of heavy weights and position yourself in front of the mirror. When the chorus begs the question: "Who do you love?" go ahead and give your reflection a wink. Stay steady grindin', and you'll end up shinin'.
7. Busta Rhymes, "Break Ya Neck"
Via Universal Music Group
Busta is pretty clear about what he wants you to do while you listen to this track. We agree that you should nod your head, but make sure you're only doing it between sets.
8. A$AP Rocky, "Wild for the Night"
Via Sony Music Entertainment
You know those times when you want to find just the right song for those really difficult sets? Well, don't waste any more time searching through your iPod—this is the song you need.
9. DMX, "Ruff Ryders' Anthem"
Via Universal Music Group
The tough part about putting DMX on a playlist is choosing the right song. We think we made the right decision. After all, talk is cheap. You better be ready to show everyone in the gym how you roll.
10. Jay-Z & Kanye West, "Ni**as in Paris"
Via Universal Music Group
Ah, Paris … home to the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and killer croissants. As if the city of lights needed another claim to fame, they've now got this song by two hip-hop moguls. If you're going to narrow your playlist down to one song and one song only, this better be a top contender. The hook's catchy, the beat's solid, and it's sure to get you going gorillas.
11. Juvenile, "Back That Thang Up"
Via Universal Music Group
Take Sir Mix-A-Lot's glute anthem to the next level with this jam. And never trust anyone who doesn't break into dance immediately following "Cash, money, records, taking over, put the '99 in the 2000 …"
12. Azealia Banks, "212"
Via Universal Music Group
Is she talking about the NYC area code? Reminding you of your lift tempo? Maybe, just maybe, she's counting your 212th rep. Either way, the dance beat of this hip-hop track is enough to get you going. The fast-spit rap, that's just extra.
13. Kendrick Lamar, "Swimming Pools (Drank)"
Via Universal Music Group
You don't have to drink till you're "faded" to understand the lesson behind this one: Don't go in halfheartedly. Kendrick's calling you to wo(man) up, drop the baby weights, and go heavy. Or maybe he's just telling you to go swim a bunch of laps. What do we know?
14. Drake, "Started From the Bottom"
Via Universal Music Group
We've all had those days: you're feeling disheartened with your progress and don't see the light at the end of the tunnel. When that happens, tune into Drake and remember where you started. Alter the lyrics as you see fit. Our personal favorite is to change "I wear every single chain even when I'm in the house" to "I deadlift every single chain when I hang them on the barbell."
15. Missy Elliot, "Get Ur Freak On"
Via Warner Music Group
Dawn your camo, swing from the chandelier, and bask in the memory of that awesomely gross virtual spit heard around the world. A quick listen and you'll surely get lost in the catchy, repetitive beats of this queen of the hip-hop game. So go ahead, get your freak on. Holla!
16. Young Jeezy, "Put On"
Via Universal Music Group
Most of the time, you "put on" for something or someone other than yourself. But when you're in the gym, you need to remember that you're there for you. Don't lift for your girlfriend, don't lift for your bros. Lift to build your best self.
17. Three 6 Mafia, "Poppin' My Collar"
Via Sony Music Entertainment
If you were ever cool enough to pop your collar, then you know exactly why this song is such an important part of contemporary culture. If you weren't, then adding this song to your workout playlist will remind you why you started working out in the first place.
18. 50 Cent, "Many Men (Wish Death)"
Via Universal Music Group
This badass song is a solid reminder that no matter how shitty other people can be, you'll survive if you're true to yourself. This song is also a reminder that getting shot nine times may not actually kill you. (Warning: do not try this at home.)
19. Wiz Khalifa, "Black and Yellow"
Via Warner Music Group
Let Khalifa's ode to the Pittsburg Steelers and his black-and-yellow-striped ride fuel your gains. You don't have to be a fan of the combo to get behind the message: Go big or go home, right?
20. Fort Minor, "Remember the Name"
Via Warner Music Group
It's simple math: What do you get when you combine ten percent luck, twenty percent skill, fifteen percent concentrated power of will, five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain, and a hundred percent reason to remember the name? Two things: a sick song to blast when you're crushing the iron, and a push to ensure your name is remembered.
The year is finally coming to a close and while the majority of your social network feeds are proclaiming the usual "new year, new me," you're just taking the time to burn the last few hundred calories before family dinners and holiday sweets become too unbearable to deny.
You've spent the entire year adding new songs to your workout list, and each has helped pump you up to finish that last mile or move up while lifting. So to help prepare you for that influx of membership at your gym and having to wait for cardio machines and dumbells while still keeping you motivated while working out next year, here are The Best Workout Songs of 2013.
RELATED: The 25 Best Workout Songs of 2013 (So Far)
RELATED: The 25 Best Workout Songs of Summer 2012
RELATED: The 10 Best Workout Songs of 2014 (So Far)
No. 20 – Katy Perry "Walking On Air"
Best for: Aerobics
This year Katy Perry has released hit after hit as usual, and her track "Walking On Air" is no exception. The song isn't as pumped up as "Roar" but it holds a steady beat which would be perfect for an aerobics class. The lyrics are motivational without being too aggressive, which is great for the beginner or someone getting back into fitness.
No. 19 – Justin Timberlake "Let The Groove In"
Best for: Zumba/Dance
Justin Timberlake's The 20/20 Experience had hit after hit in 2013, but it's one of Timberlake's album cuts that would make a great addition to a Zumba playlist. "Let The Groove In" has just the right amount of Latin influence to accompany traditional Zumba moves perfectly. The tempo is fast enough for veterans in Zumba but not so fast that beginners wouldn't be able to pick up a few moves instantly.
No. 18 – James Blake "Retrograde"
Best for: Yoga
James Blake might not be the first name you scroll to when you get to the gym, but he should definitely be your last. Yoga is a great way to challenge your body, as well as a great way to stretch muscles after a rigorous workout routine. Blake's "Retrograde" will take you from the aggressive highs from other songs on this list and bring you back down during your child's pose into zen so you can go home feeling more relaxed than tired.
No. 17 – Kanye West "Send It Up"
Best for: Tough Mudder
Kanye had to have two songs on this list because Yeezus was that crucial to this year's workout playlist. "Send It Up" has sirens blaring and a bass knocking so heavy that jumping through pits of mud, climbing over walls, and the rest of the military-style physical challenge will be a breeze.
No. 16 – Paramore "Now"
Best for: CrossFit
Heavy guitar riffs and Hayley Williams' high-energy vocals on "Now" are the perfect mix to get you through a CrossFit workout. The track's speed and aggressiveness will push you through whatever your instructor throws at you, both literally and figuratively.
No. 15 – Ace Hood f/ Rick Ross and Future "Bugatti"
Best for: Cardio
Who said you can't turn up at the gym? Ace Hood's "Bugatti" had the summer on smash this year and while it's a club and radio favorite, it's also great for a good run or elliptical workout. You might still be driving home in the same car you got there in, but you'll be conditioning your body to reach Bugatti status while listening to this fun, bass heavy rap track.
No. 14 – Beyoncé "Bow Down"
Best for: Boot Camp
We haven't had time to fully digest Beyoncé's latest self-titled album to see if there's anything workout worthy on it, but she did drop "Bow Down" earlier this year to not only let her competition know there's nobody above her, but to also motivate every woman in the world to get on her level. "Bow Down" is great for a rigorous boot camp workout.
No. 13 – Major Lazer f/ Bruno Mars, Tyga, 2 Chainz and Mystic "Bubble Butt"
Best for: Zumba
Ladies, if you're looking for a break from the excessive Pitbull and Don Omar that gets played during Zumba classes, Major Lazer's "Bubble Butt" is a great suggestion for your instructor. The song is fun and focuses on the body part a lot of women go to Zumba to tone. So see if your instructor can get some choreography to Major Lazer's hit from this year, if anything hit a couple of willie bounces and get your twerk on for fun.
No. 12 – Britney Spears "Work Bitch"
Best for: Squats/deadlifts
Britney Spears has been the ideal vision for men (and women) eyes in terms of fitness. Despite a few mishaps here and there, she has always stayed fit and during her return to music this year she dropped some motivation for anybody looking to go toe to toe with her. "You better work, bitch." Blast this in your headphones while getting your squats or deadlifts in and those spaghetti legs and arms will feel well worth it.
No. 11 – A$AP Rocky f/ Skrillex "Wild For The Night"
Best for: High-intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
A$AP Mob's frontman, A$AP Rocky, dropped this EDM and rap infused track on his debut album Long.Live.A$AP and the meeting of genres is great for a high-intensity workout. "Wild For The Night" is high-energy and will keep you in motion with its electronic sounds as well as A$AP Rocky's up-tempo flow on the track.
No. 10 – Krewella "Live For The Night"
Best for: Cardio
The EDM scene has become crucial to the modern-day workout playlist because of it's high energy music and Krewella is no exception. Their single, "Live For The Night" can soundtrack a good elliptical workout as well as a run. If you're looking to get a quick calorie burning session in before heading out with friends on New Year's Eve, this song is perfect.
No. 9 – Imagine Dragons "Radioactive"
Best for: Weight training
Imagine Dragons burst into the scene in 2012 with their debut album Night Visions and have already given fans music they can take with them to the gym. "Radioactive" has anthemic chants as well as heavy drums, which will keep anybody focused while weight training at the gym. Whether it's leg day, arm day or overall resistance you're looking to achieve at the gym, this track will get you through it.
No. 8 – French Montana f/ Nicki Minaj "Freaks"
Best for: Spinning
This collaboration between New York rappers French Montana and Nicki Minaj will either keep you completely focused while working out, or have you dancing on your workout bike – either way, you burn calories. The dancehall element to the song keeps you entertained, energetic and peddling toward a Nicki Minaj sized booty.
No. 7 – Flosstradamus "Assquake"
Best for: Running
While the name of this Flosstradamus' might want ladies to go out and do 100 squats, the best way toward something that'll have someone telling you that you make the ground move is by running. This up-tempo track, which features a Big Sean sample, will have you running at a steady pace both during an indoor or outdoor run. Feel the burn.
No. 6 – Pusha T "Millions"
Best for: CrossFit
Pusha T's music is aggressive, just like CrossFit is. While you're pushing your body to new heights jumping for dear life doing burpees or under and overs, you can have Pusha T's catchy hook on "Millions" in your ear giving you the ambition to finish that last jump before the next facet of the high-intensity workout begins.
No. 5 – Jay Z f/ Rick Ross "Fuckwitmeyouknowigotit"
Best for: Abdominals
Jay Z's chart-topping hit with Rick Ross might sound like your typical rap bravado (because it is), but what better song to have blasting while toning up your abs. You walk away feeling like you're that much closer to a flat stomach and this collaboration from Hov's Magna Carta, Holy Grail will make you forget all about the pending pain from that workout.
No. 4 – A$AP Ferg f/ A$AP Rocky, Trinidad James, Schoolboy Q and French Montana "Work (Remix)"
Best for: Weight lifting
A$AP Ferg's "Work" is amazing for a few reasons. For one, the hook is infectious, it'll convince you that one extra set or rep is achievable and with the remix delivering verses from the likes of A$AP Rocky and Schoolboy Q, you might end up adding both to your weight lifting workout very soon.
No. 3 – Linkin Park f/ Steve Aoki "A Light That Never Comes"
Best for: Outdoor cardio
Linkin Park has always dropped music that's perfect for workouts. They have encompassed trials and tribulations through Mike Shinoda's raps and Chester Bennington's vocals throughout the years, and this year dropped another song you can add to your playlist. Their collaboration with Steve Aoki has given their music a refreshing sound over an electronic beat, but the words stay the same. It's perfect motivation during an outdoor run. Just put in your headphones and let the track push you further.
No. 2 – Kanye West "Black Skinhead"
Best for: Circuit Training
As controversial as Kanye's Yeezus has been this year, there's no denying that a few songs on the album get you pumped while working out. The beat drop on "Blood on The Leaves" is enough to have anyone try to do something unreasonable during a weight lifting session, but it's "Black Skinhead" that would be perfect to soundtrack a circuit training session at the gym. With Kanye's lyrics blaring through your headphones ("Baby we living in the moment/I've been a menace for the longest/But I ain't finished, I'm devoted/And you know it, and you know it"), you'll get through a few grueling circuits in no time.
No. 1 – 30 Seconds to Mars "Up In The Air"
Best for: Total Body Conditioning
This track from 30 Seconds to Mars' latest album, Love Lust Faith + Dreams, is strong enough to keep you motivated with the anthemic chants, but also on a great pace while doing cardio or weight training during a TBC workout.

Best Place To Buy Cheap Drake Migos Concert Tickets Online August
Along the woman's wins, Lady Gaga's oh-la-la costumes definitely turned heads each and each one time she came on stage. The obvious fashion theme for the night time for Gaga was head gear with spikes, which experts claim she wore golden feathers on her head alongside gown made by the late Alexander McQueen while she posed to the white carpet before the show, and black spikes with a huge black gown that was so overweight she needed get on stage when she won an award. But the most "je ne sais quoi" costume of these people was a dress, beret, and purse made beyond pieces of raw meal. I would have loved to see PETA's reaction when she wore who. I wonder if Gaga barbecued her outfit right after the show ended? Why? As outlined by eyewitnesses, Brown punched Ocean after vocalist refused to shake his hand. Might be Drake & Migos Concert unlikely which usually judge would find associated with refusal justification for Ocean getting attacked. Drake's album currently tops the United states iTunes album charts, as well as his numerous songs fill within the songs charts on the tunes store. Associated with this report, Drake (real name Aubrey Graham) has eleven for this top twenty songs for that iTunes Beats charts, like the No. 1 song overall, "All Me" featuring 2 Chainz & Big Sean. Other songs on the 20 include "Berzerk" by Eminem, "Holy Grail" by Jay-Z (with Justin Timberlake), and "23" by Mike Will Made-It featuring Miley Cyrus, Wiz Khalifa and Juicy J. In the meantime, Brown should take some notes from living of Jesus, think of yourself as a little more humble, a lot less violent. More information about Best App For Cheap Drake Migos Concert Tickets Td Garden.
Drake & Migos song The American Music Awards, which celebrates the most innovative music acts in the US, as determined by fan votes, will broadcast live of a Nokia Theatre L. A. tonight, (11/21/10) at 8:00-11:00 pour. m. , ET/PT on the ABC web. If this true, maybe Chris Brown needs some anger management classes. First he assaults singer Rihanna back last season and he was later in a fight with Drake & Migos where he got injured. Due to is in order to be be the way he keeps acting, maybe it is time he takes some anger management classes soon before it transpires with someone altogether different. In case you haven't noticed from Michael Jackson, anytime there is news that someone is dead, it tops the search trends. And because Tupac and Biggie Smalls, rappers getting shot have always made big news reviews. Unfortunately, there are those out there that keep trying place an untimely end Drake & Migos Concert towards the lives of celebrities like Lil Wayne and Miley Cyrus by the use of them getting shot or, in Miley Cyrus' case, dying in the car starvation.

Filter 525 vetted Oracle HCM Cloud reviews and ratings
Reviews (1-25 of 176)
Oracle HCM for your HR team
- I particularly like the 9 box feature in performance management. We did it using paper sheets in the past, it is great to be able to capture that information within the HCM system.
- The buttons are organized very well. The employees can easily find what they need by accessing the main home page.
- There is ability to create and customize forms to enable interdepartmental communications.
- The tool is vey intuitive, there is ability to even customize the tile names. In some cases we used statements like "How to update your address/ phone number?" to prompt employees to click the button to explore further.
- While the tool provides ability to customize forms, it requires an individual with technical expertise. These services are priced separately.
- There are fixed reports that are useful in running operations but it is difficult to add additional fields in the reports.
- There is place to capture candidate feedback but the candidate management feature could be improved to include additional statuses.
While Oracle is headed in the right direction, there are several other tools in the market like Workday and Dayforce that have similar enhanced features that had been rolled out in the market before Oracle.
Improving HR processes using Oracle HCM
- Personal user profile pages with different levels of access
- Runs in cloud, you don't need to install the application in your infrastructure
- Good dashboards
- Good documentation and manuals
- Oracle HCM is expensive
- Initial configuration can be confusing
Oracle HCM easy integration
- Easy to integrate with other systems.
- Security and increase visibility.
- Pricing is little expensive.
- Need improvements in reporting.
See the benefits of HCM Cloud over the traditional on-prem HCM product
It is being used across the organization and not just the departments. It addresses the common business problem of employee management and HR related activities by automating and streamlining most of the business processes.
- Since is it SaaS, there's no headache in maintaining and updating, like other on-prem ERP.
- The Workforce admin is very good.
- Integrations with other systems are easy with out of the box adapters.
- Providing out of the box APIs for integrations with Finance systems.
- More configurations would be good.
Since it is SaaS and can be easily integrated with most third party systems, I do not think it is less suited anywhere unless the company has a different requirement altogether.
Oracle HCM Cloud for cross-border deployments
- It is great for enterprises that span multiple geographies that fall under different jurisdictions and regulations.
- Due to the consistent application architecture, Oracle HCM Cloud works very well with other ERP models, for example, operations ERP, financials, etc.
- The Oracle HCM licenses can be used both in the cloud deployment as well as on-prem that makes it easy to move license in a hybrid cloud setting.
- Oracle HCM Cloud UI can be certainly improved. It is sometimes a bit slow.
- The price for Oracle HCM Cloud is a bit higher compared to its closest competition (Workday) assuming you don't get a big discount from Oracle.
- Customizing the modules to make the rules and forms conform to a specific geography is complex and will need extra consulting expertise from Oracle or a third party. This can certainly be improved by making UI customization more intuitive.
MBC HCM Review
- User friendly interface
- Out of the box analytics
- Enhanced UX (user experience)
- Better management of upgrades
- Making some basic digital assistant features included within the release
- More advanced licensing
Oracle HCM has a great future with improved UI and functionality
- Oracle Compensation is one of the best modules available in the market. The smartsheet for comp merit cycle is designed great. The Team filter is awesome. Creating and maintaining custom fields on comp plan is easy. Dynamic calculations and everything works like Excel. Compensation statements look good.
- Oracle Directory and Security features are great.
- Oracle provides great UI and application functionality.
- Benefits Administration - Open Enrollment steps, Benefit Vendor integrations, Changes only HCM Extracts need to be improved. We expect the product company to partner with benefit vendors and provide standard integrations.
- Reporting: Most of the OTBI subject areas have issues while displaying data with certain criteria. Dashboards and features look good, however there is a lot of scope for improvement along real time reporting.
- Compenation module is great, however the ability to print comp statements in bulk is a feature we would like to see back.
- Large scale industry is where it is well suited.
- If we have labor levels or categories, then the functionality within application needs to be customized based on the requirement.
A Review of Rewards Management in Oracle HCM
- The Employee Worksheet is the best one because that is the heart of this module. This is really configurable and the user experience is good.
- Compensation based Analytics are good.
- The Total Rewards Statements is one of the best features of this module.
- The Compensation Modeling feature is also good.
- In the worksheet itself, the Manager should be able to see all the information about Budget Vs. Allocation.
- The worksheet configuration user experience could be improved.
- Compensation Modeling has more clicks involved. It could be simplified.
HCM success story
It does scale fairly well. We have a user base of around 800, which we have grown from around 50 users. We expect to have about 1500 users by the end of next year.
Hectic Journey but Worth It
Another issue with Oracle succession planning, in the 9-box grid, we had to change our methodology in order to be able to fit into the application, I think having more freedom in this area will help many businesses in adapting the system.
- User interface
- Collaboration capabilities
- regular enhancements
- Integration with Oracle e-Business Suite and Oracle EPM
- Add more flexibility for customer business processes
- Ability to create our own Reports in easy way
In conclusion, the pros are higher than the cons but you have to study it first with your business users
HCM Cloud is off to a great start for us!
- Provides one central system to manage global employee data.
- Automates workflows to enable small HR team to be more effective.
- Enables employees to better view, manage, and interact with their information.
- Easier integration of data from other systems. It would be difficult for a non-technical individual to understand how to structure the data in the format Oracle requires.
Oracle HCM Cloud Review
Easy to implement but performance can be improved
SCC Oracle HCM Review
- Payroll
- Hiring
- Talent management
- Documentation for users that provides details rather than a high level overview. Oracle's documentation is not sufficient.
HCM Review
- It comes with many features to fulfill our business requirements.
- It comes with online training for our new users.
- Great technical support with good response time.
- Lots of performance problems.
- Not very user-friendly.
- Too expensive.
Oracle HCM is a great tool for maintaining employee information
- Directory and employee information at one source.
- Goal Management is used to set goals across the organization. Approvals chain can be maintained.
- Mobile Notifications are an excellent source of information.
- Annual appraisals are done through performance management.
- Benefits module needs improvement.
- "Act As" proxy functionality should be enabled for performance management module for HR.
- Search functionality in the application could be improved to get accurate results for reports and metrics.
Oracle HCM great for basic application tracking, consolidation, and easy to use SaaS tool.
- Cloud software - so I like being able to access it just with a login (SSO in my particular case).
- Helps make the review process for candidates more streamlined as opposed to fielding resumes via email and forwarding promising ones to others, etc.
- Getting updates over cloud and not having to install and being on the latest and greatest is always nice. I like the UI face (if it was on prem how long would I have to wait for that?).
- Not as pretty as some of the other competitors, but I have heard that up time is higher with Oracle HCM
- Account Manager is a bit aggressive in trying to up sell, realistically we only use it for recruiting within the department (I am simply a user, so not insane robust features necessary).
The Future of HR Management
- Easily configurable to account for various changing aspects of a company such as regulatory compliance changes.
- The use of artificial intelligence to improve talent management.
- Strong data security and privacy making Oracle HCM Cloud reliable to use.
- Pricing can be very expensive for startups.
- The interfaces in the creation of forms and reports could be improved. It isn't as intuitive for new users.
- Accessing the database through reports gets a bit cumbersome. Reporting access could be made easier.
Great system if you make use of all capabilities and make sure to not lift and shift and customize too much
- Directory
- Increased visibility
- Opportunity to have virtual assistant
- Reporting
- Cost Center structure within the Core Data
- New Cost Center creation is very complicated
HCM- They are the Experts- don't Customize and have a Plan
- Offers layers of security that can be standardized yet still offer flexibility to ensure that users only see the data that is relevant to their need.
- Offers our global company to increase visibility to key HR metrics locally, regionally, divisional.
- Helped us to create a Global Directory, that employees can better understand where their colleagues are located, and how Departments are organized
- HCM has many ways of doing the same thing- but that's not always good when you are trying to standardize data, and create user training.
- The quarterly upgrades have not always taken care to not upset our current data schemes, necessitating rework in interfaces that we don't have time for! We used 'Oracle Developers' to create these interfaces, only to find out they didnt use the most optimized solution, especially when Oracle creates some db changes that weren't obvious in their upgrade materials.
- We are just getting into the New responsive user interface, but finding that some of the features we rely on are not (yet) being brought into. More angst for our end users!
User Group Take Aways
- Transitioning over to the cloud
- Integrating data
- Improves employee engagement
- Payroll support
- Not geared for smaller companies
Mixed Review of Oracle HCM Cloud
- This is the first time our company has had modules connecting to each other and speaking to each other.
- I enjoy the BI intelligence associated with HCM, but still learning to use that in detail.
- Interconnectivity.
- Support and help.
- Understanding how modules connect with each other, speak to, and affect each other.
- Fields are not always logical for U.S. users, seem more internationally based.
New to HCM and impressed so far
- Oracle HCM has capability to support our HR transactions so that we can properly report on them.
- The performance module has been wonderful in helping us to move to an annual performance cycle and focus on pay for performance
- I love how easy it is do things like change managers for direct reports when managers terminate or turn off security upon termination!
- I struggle with reporting and properly pulling the data that I need.
- I also struggle with how best to use the action/Reason codes provided.
- I need help in setting up a geographic differential for our salary grades.
Oracle HCM
- Recruiters use it for getting clear analytics on jobs posted, number of resumes received, open roles, closed roles, time taken to fill each role by skill, etc.
- HCM was more flexible and easy to use
- We used detailed mobile friendly candidate experiences
- Some workflows should be customizable like referral tracking, interview feedback, offer, etc.
- Data should be easily exportable in all formats
- Improved automated workflows for recruitment
- It is well suited for detailed analytics like time to fill role, open roles, closed roles, etc.
- Need more customization capabilities for workflows
Oracle HCM Cloud Review
- Self-service.
- Integrations.
- Benefits.
- Reporting and analytics.
- Faster database.
- Position management.
- Recruiting.

The Joker is a very good film but not a film for everyone…
It requires a high tolerance for grit and violence. For those with mental illness, some of the actions of the protagonist could very well be triggering and upsetting. Also, anyone expecting to have a direct to the Batman franchise you would be mistaken.
Seeing a film with the knowledge that a review is forthcoming can poison the experience. Scrambling to keep track of all the characters, the best plot twists, clever allusions to the genre can distract how the film makes you feel. Thankfully for Joker, I entered Alamo Drafthouse with no thought of sharing my analysis.
So instead of writing a full-on review, I'll concentrate on how the film made me feel and what I think it got right and wrong. The Joker and his ailing Mother are clearly suffering from mental illness (what diagnosis is not clear). The film was quite genuine in showing their daily challenges. Joker's slow descent from the bounds of society is prophesied by that society's inability to treat and help him.
Buoying the sensitive story-telling are some outstanding performances. Joaquin Phoenix should be now enshrined as one of our great actors (I fully expect an Oscar nomination here). A lot of the subtleties of his performance ring true. Several scenes he would manifest a twisted torso that mirrored his tormented psyche.
The question everyone, particularly in the mental health space, is asking is whether the film is "accurate", "fair", and "balanced" or does it further stigma-induced stereotypes. To address the issue you need to assess the shocking ending (I will not provide a spoiler here). The Director clearly does not waver and paper over the gutsy story with anything uplifting that ties difficult strands together.
Having come into the film with few expectations (I did know of some controversy), I experienced it as a "Hollywood" movie and found myself believing in the characters and engaged by the plot. The Joker himself evokes an eerie sympathy that sustains your interest.
So do I think that the film portrays mental illness in a sensationalized or inaccurate way? Does it further stigmatize the mentally ill? For the most part, I don't think so. I think most will see this film as the story and actions of one deranged person. If anything the clarion call should be for society to do better in treating mental illness so downward spirals such as this can be thwarted.
On a final note…if you've never seen the 1970s film "Taxi Driver"…get the DVD now. There are several strands that mirror the Joker. And here I said no genre allusions. I hope you will excuse my indulgence.

It was either that or Renovation.Sexy. This domain name was cheaper and less likely to be misinterpreted as a beauty blog and inspire false hope for those of us with fixer-upper faces. Don't like the name? suggest a better one.
Are you a professional builder and tradesman?
Should I take your DIY advice?
I wouldn't.
What is with the dates on projects?
I started this site in 2019, but I'm adding projects from the last 10 years.
In the past 10 years my girlfriend became my wife, we moved houses, became dog people, started businesses and grew ourselves some kids. I'm trying to write the posts as relative to the point in time the project was happening, but sometimes I jump backwards and forwards in time to reflect on things and get a little confused.
Otherwise, enjoy the ride.
