    Have You Fed Your Life Today?

    October 23rd, 2008

    Last summer, I fertilized my outdoor potted plants for the first time ever. It’s one of those things I always meant to do, and I’d purchased the organic fertilizer months before. For some time, the bottle sat on my patio table. If it’s right in front of me where I see it a dozen times a day, I’ll do it, right?

    Wrong.

    So, finally I did it. It didn’t take long.

    Within days, the plants were looking healthier, greener. Shoots started appearing, even on the very scruffy-looking rabbits-foot fern in my entryway.

    Within weeks, there was a transformation. In my entryway – now a veritable fern grotto! – the rabbits-foot fern is a glowing green ball of healthy growth. The maidenhair fern is dark, deep green, and so huge that you can’t find my front doorbell behind it. The staghorn fern, which had been so sick-looking I was considering throwing it away, is also deep green and putting out shoots. On the back patio, the succulents delight the hummingbirds with regular blossoms and are literally popping out of their pots with health and growth.

    Now, bear with me here, because I’ll admit this is a little hokey – but doesn’t your life deserve that kind of attention? Unlike me, you may be really good at fertilizing your plants – but how much time do you spend feeding your life?

    Our tendency is to get wrapped up in the demands of day-to-day life, the routines that we carve out for ourselves to maintain some sense of order. We hurry from one moment to the next, getting the kids off to school and ourselves off to work, rushing between meetings and email and the phone, joining a client or colleague for lunch, hustling home at the end of the workday to run errands and take the kids to soccer or dance practice. When we do have time to sit down and just breathe for a moment, it’s often with a stunned sense that there must be something we still haven’t done, some task or appointment that’s hurtling towards us that we haven’t spotted yet.

    We all know the value of eating well-prepared, nutritious, and tasty food to provide fuel for our physical selves. Most of us also follow a spiritual practice, whether through an organized religion or in personal, sometimes non-traditional ways, thereby providing fuel for our spiritual selves.

    The physical and the spiritual are two of the three facets of life. The mental/emotional, which I call the psyche, is the third, and tends to be overlooked and left unfertilized. There are few, if any, traditions that fuel this third aspect; those that do are often remarkably bad at it (with apologies to the many good schoolteachers I have known), and are not easily available after we complete our formal education.

    The psyche needs rich experiences and frivolous play to grow and blossom, and such fuel can be hard to find in this over-scheduled, over-busy, and always-urgent era. Endless routine and habit poison and stunt our psyche, and it often becomes dormant, leaving us wondering, “Whatever happened to the college student who sat up late debating politics, history, and art, went to poetry readings, and spent hours playing and singing in the student lounge?”

    I encourage you to find ways to nourish all three aspects of your life. Evaluate which you have neglected most – I’d be willing to bet it’s your psyche – and find a way to provide a little organic fertilizer on a regular basis. You’ll be astonished at the vibrant growth that will result – and who knows what hummingbirds your flowering may attract?

    “A full-spectrum approach to human consciousness and behavior means that men and women have available to them a spectrum of knowing -a spectrum that includes, at the very least, the eye of flesh, the eye of mind, and the eye of spirit.” Ken Wilbur, philosopher and theoretical psychologist.

    Ultrasound and MRI Equipment Understanding Medical

    October 23rd, 2008

    The medical field is filled with several advances and interesting devices that may not be entirely people friendly as far as their use and the general information behind them. Much of the equipment you will most likely encounter in a hospital will fall into the category of Radiology.

    Most people go to the hospital when they need an x-ray for a possible fracture, pain, discomfort, or known history. If more detailed information is necessary the physician may ask you to get an MRI done. Beyond that there are options to go for an ultrasound, biopsy, or any other type of testing necessary. These procedures for the most part are relatively noninvasive, and the majority of them are based in Radiology. The equipment used in a hospital or medical clinic may at times look like a dinosaur but in reality it is still very useful at producing accurate results. This too may be the reason why so much refurbished and used ultrasound equipment is available on the market today. The systems are built to last long and perform well.

    Radiological equipment is the reason for so many cases of early detection whether it is in the cases of mammography, ultrasound, CT, or MRI.


    Money Can Not Buy You Happiness

    October 20th, 2008

    I am sure there will be many people who read this article and will think I am rather mad. Quite frankly I do not care. In this article I write about what in my humble opinion are the most importants things in life, health and happiness.

    All that most of my friends talk about is money:

    What car do you drive?

    How much is your house worth?

    How much do you earn?

    How much did your suit cost?

    Where are you going on holiday this year?

    I find all of this very boring and think that they are rather sad. They seem to be in some sort of competition and they are basically obsessed about money.

    I will give you an example of one such friend, his name is John. He never seems to talk about anything else and is always looking into get rich quick schemes. He is also in a lottery syndicate, of which there are about fifty members. Each member pays around ten pounds in per week. John likes to go out socialising on a Saturday night, however soon gets itchy feet at the time of the lottery draw. A few minutes later he will go to the toilet where he will then phone his girlfriend. He takes with him to the toilet a piece of paper with his numbers on and a little pen. After his girlfriend has told him which numbers were drawn, John will then then spend around twenty minutes checking his numbers, and then re-checking to see if he has any winning lines.

    Eventually he returns to the group who seem very keen (apart from me) to find out how much he has won/lost. To date he has only won small amounts, however is convinced that one day he will become a millionaire. He will then start talking about the lottery, asking other people what they would buy if they were lucky enough to ever win. At this point I become very bored and start to wish I had stayed at home and watched the football.

    For me the two most important things in life are health and happiness. These are two things which money can not buy. A few years ago, my dad was taken ill. He was in a real bad way and had to spend around five months in hospital. Him being ill was a huge shock to me as he was only fifty-seven. I feared the worst, even though I was trying my hardest to think and stay positive. I remember thinking, if I gave those doctors everything I own in the world, it still would not help him. I felt powerless and at that moment realised that money is only paper.

    Happiness is the same, I remember at the age of twenty-one having lots of money and had been surprised that I was depressed at the same time. At other times I have had next to no money and have been extremely happy.

    All of a Sudden-Performance Problems Resolved With Performance Coaching

    October 17th, 2008

    How many times have you heard someone say the words, “It happened all of a sudden?” In my career as a manager, executive, consultant, psychologist and even a two-year stint as a human resource manager I can’t begin to count the number of times people have complained that something happened “all of a sudden.” Do things really happen suddenly, or do they usually begin slowly over time, gathering momentum. For example, consider performance problems with employeesdo they begin “all of a sudden” or do they usually start gradually as small disturbances and gain seriousness and complexity over time? If you’ve been a manager for even a few months I’m sure you’ll agree that few problems actually happen “all of a sudden.” Most escalate over time gaining not only complexity, but also seriousness.

    So why then do so many managers claim that performance problems happen “all of sudden?” In my experience it happens because of three reasons. The first is that some managers are literally unaware of their employees’ problems. Perhaps they have distanced themselves too much from their employees to be aware of what is going on, or they have turned a “blind-eye” to what is really going on in the work place. In any event, a manager must be close enough to his or her employees to know what is going on. Without that closeness, there is little chance of preventing small problems from festering into large ones.

    The second reason is managers who believe that problems can fix themselves if they left alone. This is called problem self-resolution. Now think about it, how many times in the day-to-day managing of people can you turn your back on a problem and expect it to go a way? Granted, in some rare situations some problems may fix themselves, but in most situations what happens to the problem? Doesn’t it begin to grow? Doesn’t it get more complex? Doesn’t it begin to involve more people and more processes? The truth is that problem self-resolution is a cancer that can be the downfall of a manager. It’s necessary and important to delegate the appropriate tools and responsibilities to your employees. You cannot sit back and merely hope that the problem will somehow magically fix itself. That rarely ever happens in business today.

    The third reason is managers whose temperament is non-confrontational, thus they are fearful of having conflict with employees. So as a result they tend to avoid situations where they need to discuss performance problems with employees. These situations avoided over time can cause minor problems to grow into major problems. Confronting a small issue with an employee is much easier and far more effective than procrastinating then having to confront that same employee with a large issue at a later time. Part of being a manager is having the courage to confront issues when it’s timely, necessary and appropriate.

    So what does this mean? And how does this relate to you? It’s far easier to deal with and resolve small problems than it is big problems. Small problems typically involve a few people and one or two processes. Large problems involve many people and a lot of processes. Many times a small problem can be resolved in a few minutes through performance coaching, but a big problem can be so complex that it can literally take weeks, months and even years to resolve. Then, consider of the cost of resolution. Waiting, for whatever reason, can be very expensive.

    From my experience with retails stores, I’ve observed how front-end bag expense can begin as a small problem as baggers and checkers fail to pay close attention to the number of bags used for each order. If items per bag decrease over a four-month period from an average of 6.5 items per bag to 5.5 items per bag, the front-end manager has a small problem. But if he or she ignores the problem for any of the three reasons described above the problem could grow to a larger problem in succeeding months. If the problem did grow to an average of 4.5 items per bag, then the front-end manager would have a substantially larger problem to solve, which would take a longer time to fix.

    If the front-end manager was monitoring items per bag on a regular basis and were aware of the decline from 6.5 to 6.0, then he or she could begin an intervention to identify the causes of the performance problem and solve it early, rather than waiting until the problem was much larger. Waiting several months while even more people form bad habits would make the solution much more difficult as compared to jumping in early and resolving the problem while it was in its infancy. Stated in another way: early can be simple, quick and cheap; later is often complex, difficult and expensive.

    It’s been my experience that, “There ain’t no such thing as all of a sudden.” Very few performance problems begin as large problems. Most begin as manageable issues solved by simple performance coaching. I liked the statement so much that I’ve quoted it many times in the years since that class. The statement is right: “There ain’t no such thing as all of a sudden.” In management, problems tend to begin as small manageable issues. Then, if left alone, and unsolved they grow into major problems that drive managers nuts. As managers it’s our responsibility to identify those problems while they are small and in their infancy and then deal with them quickly and decisively. That’s what makes good
    managers great.

    God, Grant Me Patience…..And, I Want It Now!!

    October 16th, 2008

    Are you facing a difficult time in your life? Do you feel like a fish out of water? If today was a fish, would you want to throw it back in the river? If this is your situation, make no negative destructive decisions. Be Patient. Know that time can perform many miracles.

    Quicker Than A New York Minute!

    Yeah, I wish. But, unfortunately every time I have moved that fast it went from riches to rags. Truly, patience is one of the major ingredients that lead to consistent success. You must develop patience if you are ever going to be successful in dealing with life’s problems.

    Patience is not a popular subject for our, “I want it now” microwave society. Patience conjures up all kinds of thoughts like, “I might not get it”; “It might take too long”; “I might forget it”, even worse. Ah, but patience is a major factor in making our dreams come true.

    As I have given patience a lot of thought in my own life, here is what I have discovered. See if this pattern seems familiar to you.

    • Sometimes I get what I want right away.

    • Sometimes I get what I want days, weeks, months, and sometime years later.

    • Sometimes I don’t get what I want but what I really needed, much later.

    • Sometimes I don’t get what I wanted, or what I needed, but got what was best for me, much later.

    Rome Wasn’t Built In A Day!

    Well, every time I get what I want right away, I’m just a little taken back by it. I always seem to “expect” to wait for some period of time. It just seems to be the way the universe deals with us. When something comes right away, we forget that triumph very fast and are on to the next deal.

    The absolute optimum way to live would to be able to control the timing of every thing that happens to us. But, we can’t. On the other side of the coin, if every thing were to just fall on us like ripe apples off a tree, we would be running all over town trying to avoid being knocked out by all the falling apples.

    You’ve heard it said before, “God’s delays are not God’s denials”. I believe that’s true. Patience has character building power within it. Patience takes the impossibilities of life and turns them into realities. Patience can also make you feel like taking a long walk off a short pier sometimes.

    Waiting Always Lasts Too Long!

    That’s the part of patience I want to help give you a different perspective on. Patience was designed to help us grow; to help us develop compassion and empathy, and make us strong. Not, to tear us down, to destroy our dreams, or make us wonder if our goals and objectives will ever be realized.

    If you look at patience like this it might help: It was not meant to make life hard on you. Of course life is hard, that’s why they pay you the big bucks. :>) Patience is part of our lives because God’s timing is always better than ours. Now think about it. If you had your way, how many times would you choose to wait for something you really wanted or needed?

    Your timing would always be, “I want it now”! And, if it was something that’s not desirable, your timing would be to wait, and wait, and wait. So, the universe comes on the scene and says, “Wait, you’re moving too fast”. And we say, “No I’m not, you are moving too slowly”.

    The Waiting Is The Hardest Part!

    And since the universe always has the final word, we find ourselves, waiting! And, because timing is so crucial to every thing in the universe, we tend to have a hard time understanding what good it is doing us, “waiting”.

    Here is why waiting bothers us; because we don’t know exactly what’s on the other end. It might turn out to be something better than sliced bread, or, I might find myself between the devil and the deep blue sea.

    The first thing we do is, think of all kind of possibilities that would help us, improve our lifestyle, bring us happiness, reduce aggravation, if only this project would give in to my commands.

    As soon as all those wonderful possibilities run their course through our thinking, then all the undesirable outcomes take their turn and start playing the “what if” game with us.

    “What if you don’t get that pay raise”? “What if you don’t get that promotion”? “Be careful, or you’ll poke your eye out”; and, all kinds of junky thoughts.

    Now, being careful, in your ways, is fine and good. But, understand something; those thoughts are not coming to you to help you become a safe responsible person. Yes, you should. But, those thoughts have a different agenda. And, that is to inject fear into you to cheat you out of your dream.

    I promise you this; the very moment you recognize the real intent of those thoughts, you will not shirk your responsibilities and become a reckless person, you will feel the inner power you’ve been searching for to accomplish that goal, and you will do so in a very responsible manner.

    As Luck Would Have It!

    I personally believe that if patience was not part of the God’s way of helping us grow, we would just let the chips fall where they may.

    Since we would not have to wait or resist, why bother caring what happens? It’s the struggle, the fight that makes this thing personal to us. Something is trying to beat us, and we take that personally. When unemployment is trying to take your possessions, your dignity, and your self-esteem, you will take it personally!

    Life Never Leaves Us With No Way Out!

    Patience was not intended to be a destructive force. The lack of patience has caused much damage. Without patience there is a higher and better good that would not be possible in your life. And, that is the power of faith and hope.

    Without patience you would have no hope. Everything you wanted would just fall on you. Without patience you would have no faith. All your dreams would materialize instantly. Now, don’t get excited, that would really not be good for any of us. Not in this world anyway.

    The Self Development Tool Box

    October 15th, 2008

    Do you have a self-development toolbox? Do you have a standard set of instruments or mechanisms that you use to delve into your inner self? Just asking yourself those questions makes you think, doesn’t it? That is because questioning is the most powerful tool in your self-development toolbox. When we start on the self-development path it is usually because we have asked ourselves a question: who am I, what is it I want, why am I in this position, when can I change, where will this happen and how can I make it happen? Questions can be about us or about others and are used as identifiers. Who do I want to be? Who is standing in the way? Who will support me in this? Who can provide information?

    We bring clarity to our quest by asking What. What is standing in the way of resolving this issue? What can I do about this? What is my next step?” Answering the What questions moves us another step forward on the path to change.

    If you have ever been in the presence of a three year old for any length of time, you know that their favorite word is Why. The Why question brings them new information and helps them to understand the workings of a world that is new to them. It can be the same for us in the self-development process. Why do I feel this way? Why do I react like that? Why does this seem hard? Why can’t I get motivated?

    To take action we need to ask the When question. When will I start? When will this happen? The answers to When questions create timetables and guidelines to follow. When putting a roast into the oven we need to know when it will be cooked. Knowing when the roast will be done moves us to have the table set and the vegetables cooked at the appropriate time. When questions motivate.

    Where do we want our self-development quest to take us? If we don’t know where we want to go we will surely have a hard time getting there. And, if we don’t know where we have been how will we know where we want to go. Where questions raise our awareness. Where do I want to be one year from now…five years from now?

    Once we know who, what, why, when, and where we need to know how. How can I accomplish this? How should I start? How will I feel when I am there? How questions help us to create a plan for action.

    Trial lawyers always say, “Never ask a question you don’t know the answer to.” It is exactly the opposite in the self-development process. Queries you don’t know the answer to are the ones that will bring you the most new information about who you are, where you are and who and where you want to be in the future. Questions can stimulate a deep thought process and can bring us to places of discovery and revelation we wouldn’t otherwise reach.
    If you want to: make a change, find a solution, clarify your thinking, identify a goal or learn more about the real you, just delve into your toolbox and pull out the questioning tool. It works every time!

    What is Expected From You as an Outsourced Entity?

    October 14th, 2008

    When a company outsources its work, there are great expectations that it will save them money and get their production up.

    As an outsourced entity, you should be able to provide your contracted client with numerous reports to prove what tasks have been performed. Additionally, you should be able to prove the time spent on the projects you have contracted to perform.

    There are many types of projects that major companies outsource. I have listed a few to give you an idea of what type of services you could offer a company that outsources.

    Answering/Customer Services:

    There are a multitude of companies that outsource to an answering service. You can start this service with very little equipment and very little room. You would need to add as many phone lines as possible and the contracted company would forward their phones when they want to use the service. You can forward their messages via email and/or fax. Charges for this service would be by the call or by the time spent on the call, for example: fifty cents per call and 25 cents per minute; one dollar to email message and seventy-five cents to fax the message. Depending on the volume of calls, you make money and save the contracted client money.

    Order Taking:

    There are a lot of companies out there that take orders for the infomercials on television. These companies outsource to individuals that “work at home”. Most times you need a computer and a private phone line. these companies also offer on the phone training and pay you by the call minute.

    Envelope Stuffing:

    This is usually portrayed as a scam, but there are companies that still outsource this task for advertising mailers or newsletters that they send to their clients.

    Document Production:

    There are companies that outsource documents that need to be completed, when their volume exceeds their manpower. Most times, you are paid by the piece.

    Outbound Calls:

    This task is often outsourced to tele-market to potential clients. Most outsourced employees can expect twenty-five cents to fifty cents per call.

    All in all outsourcing is on the upswing. It affords the client employees without the hassel of taxes and benefits. Be prepared to prove your work when signing as an outsourced entity.

    Building a Framework for Effective Development

    October 14th, 2008

    Wrtiting less PHP code with more results

    Most web development companies use their own or third party frameworks to improve their development process. If you want to work as a PHP developer in a company you will most probably need to agree to write your code using their framework. This article is for these developers and companies who want to build their own framework and improve their coding speed, the quality of their code and get paid more for less time. I will share with you the ideas we discovered in PIM Team Bulgaria while working on our PHP framework, but not the framework itself – you need to develope your own one which to suit the most your coding style. Our advises are valid for almost any other programming language.

    What is a framework and why I need it? Don’t you get bored when you need to write same or similar types of code again and again? Do you hate when customer wants to change “some unsignificant thing” but you need to change it in 10 different files? Are your scripts too long? Do you write “spagetti” code? If you answer “yes” on some of these questions, then you need a set of functions and classes which will automate most of the tasks, reduce your code size and avoid copy-paste practices. That is framework. It is a set of classes and functions which you just include in your scripts and make your life of a web developer easier.

    What to “put” in a framework? Some people and companies tend to believe that everything should be generated by functions and classes and you should never have a “free flying” PHP code. As a result of that they put everything in objects and extremly complicated functions which try to handle everything for everyone. As a result the code gets hard to read, buggy, hard to change and slow to write and learn. Other group prefers to write everything for the current situation, again and again for every project and file. They often copy-paste hundreds of rows to save development time and effort, but when they have to modify the code it turns into a pain. And all of this is because they are too lazy to create a framework. The solution as usually is somewhere in the middle. You should be looking to optimize tasks which are repeated often in the project or in different projetcs. Here are the best propositions:

    - Mail functions – its terrible to see most developers putting all the headers in each place where they need to send a mail. Just wrap the mail() function and use the wrapper.

    - Database wrappers – you MUST have one. Stop using the built in mysql (or other DB) functions directly into your projects. What will happen if the database must be changed?

    - Database functions – do you really need to type manually all the 50 field names of that table and then to manually fill the values from $_POST? Sure, it is often needed when the values come in a different way. But very often, especially in admin panels you just have a form with fields corresponding to the table ones and values in them. Just iterate thru the database fields (hint: “SHOW FIELDS FROM table_name”) and insert/update

    - HTML code snippets – aren’t you tired of creating or copy-pasting date dropdowns, checkboxes, normal dropdowns or radio groups? Create functions for each of these – it could accept parametters as name, values, selected name…

    - Formatting specifics such as date, money, phone numbers etc. Yes, the PHP functions like date() allow you to format in any way. But what happens if you have dates on hundred places and the customers decide that instead of mm/dd/yy they want format “dd Month, YYYY”? Don’t change it everywhere, don’t use the MySQL data formatting. Create your own wrapper and use it.

    - Admin panels – each and every admin panel includes screens for add/edit/delete various table contents. Why to do it each time? In PIM Team we created a class called table_editor which simply receives several massives and arguments and handles all the operations on any complex DB table, including the HTML code for the editing webform in less than 20 lines! The admin pages don’t need to look nice, but yet our table_editor allows your tables to look perfect with CSS

    - File and picture uploading, resizing, thumbnails. You don’t really write every time all the codes in your scripts I hope. It would be crazy. You need functions or class for these

    - Project sopecific functions. Many websites have specific features like displaying category trees, specific dropdowns, small tables with user’s profiles etc etc. You can and must put these in objects or functions and use across your porjects.

    Don’t overdo your framework You can’t handle everything for every case. Maybe you can but this will make your framework heavy, slow to process and hard to use. The goal of the framework is to make your life easier, not some idealistic idea for pure OOP coding. You need to export functions and objects of things which you do often within different projects or several times in one project. You will only loose time if you try to handle some individual cases.


    Goofy Mistakes that Hurt Your Search Engine Rankings

    October 13th, 2008

    One thing is for sure, you don’t want to spend hours, perhaps days, months, or years on a website to have some stupid little mistake get your site dropped or never even listed in the search engines. There are a lot of rules that search engines have created to block out what they call spammers, so don’t kid yourself by telling yourself you are not an evil spammer. As the courts might say, ignorance of the law is no excuse. So what kind of horrific mistake could sneak upon you and possibly ruin all your hard work?

    When I first starting making web pages, I created basic templates that I used for an entire site. Of course it’s great to have a uniformed look for your site, but what if you had a screw up on a template you used over and over again. What kind of screw up? How about hidden text or a hidden link? You see the old WYSIWIG editors, like the older versions of FrontPage sometimes leave behind links within the html code even after you’ve deleted the link. As far as hidden text, that can happen by not paying attention to what you are doing. If you make hundreds of pages eventually you might accidentally color some of your text the same as your background. You say it’s not likely. I wouldn’t think so either, but it’s happened to me several times. If you use the mistake ridden template over and over again, you might have a problem. It’s generally understood that search engines frown on hidden text and links. How many will they overlook is anybody’s guess. So if you haven’t checked your old web pages, it might be profitable to check out your html code. Look for urls with no link text in the code. You can usually find hidden text by simply highlighting your webpage in your browser.

    Solutions If you find out you have the problem over hundreds or thousands of pages, it might be worth investing in Microsoft FrontPage 2003. It has a split screen that helps in finding html errors, and best of all you can do a site wide search and replace. The software will find the code you search for, and all you have to do is leave the replacement code box blank, thus removing the offending hidden link.

    The good news is that there are some other ways to avoid this problem altogether. You can learn CSS for template designs for instance. A trick I like to use is Server Side Includes (SSI) for my links menu. To make it work you have to have two things, a code like this with your links menu page inside the code, and your server has to be set to take it. Most servers are automatically set to use SSI includes in shtml pages, but most web hosts allow you to pick .html or .htm pages to parse. The only thing to keep in mind is it puts an extra task for the server to perform on each and every page that contains the extension you choose to parse. For example one of my web hosts has in their control panel a apache handler section. I simply go there put server-parsed in the Handler box, .htm in the extension box, and click add. That’s it. Now if I need to add a link to my menu I change one page the menu.htm page and I’m done.
