Offering Parental Leave Isn't Enough — Companies Need Reentry Programs, Too
Chief Learning Officer and Vice President of Organizational Effectiveness, Cornerstone OnDemand
This article was originally published on Forbes.com, under Jeff Miller's Forbes Human Resources Council column.
When I talk to colleagues who are returning from an extended leave, they all say something similar: "It was great to have the time away, but coming back was a bit of a slap to the face."
Most of us have experienced being away for a week or two and are used to readjusting after a break. But a month-long absence or more — whether it's a sabbatical, leave for family or medical reasons, or parental leave — means truly separating from the process of work. And it makes returning a major readjustment for employees.
Few companies have formal processes to help ease their reentry, yet the number of people taking extended leave is growing. Last year, 15% of companies offered sabbaticals, and paid parental leave is on the rise. According to research from employment agency Manpower, 84% of millennials anticipate taking significant breaks from work to care for children or elderly parents, as well as for travel and vacation.
Companies that accommodate extended leave can see major benefits, from attracting and retaining top talent to renewed creativity and energy in returning employees. But offering employees leave can also pose a retention risk. Even if it's not a formal program, taking steps to facilitate employees' reentry to work, reassuring them that they are valued and remaining open to how their priorities might have shifted can set the tone for their return — and their subsequent years with the company.
Make A Big Deal About Their Return
When employees return from leave, they're asking themselves questions like: Am I still valued by this company? Was I missed? Has my job changed since I left? While the size of the gesture can vary, anything from some balloons and a nice card on their desk to a lunch in their honor can help assuage some of those fears.
For example, one member of my team likes grand gestures, so when she returned from maternity leave, we wrote welcome-back notes and decorated her desk with balloons so she would feel special and loved. She was happy to know she was missed, and it started her first day back on the right foot. Everyone will respond to the time away differently, and it's the manager's responsibility to know their employees and find the right way to say, "Welcome back."
Consider Offering A Modified Schedule
When employees return, particularly from parental or family leave, they're readjusting to work while continuing to adjust to new realities in their personal lives. It's a lot to manage for anyone, and it can easily overwhelm employees — particularly when mixed with feelings about proving their value.
Consider easing them back into it. At Cornerstone, all new parents have the option to work remotely at least 50% of the time for the first eight weeks after their return from leave to slow the lifestyle change and allow time to continue bonding with the new baby. Employees can also opt out of work-related travel for the first six months of their child's life. There are also programs in place to help team members balance work-life and childcare, like allowing all parents unlimited paid time off for doctor check-ups, tending to a sick child and attending parenting classes.
Giving employees both the space to reacclimate to the workplace and the continued flexibility to manage parenthood can help them feel cared for and valued, while also enabling them to take the time to find a schedule that helps them balance their personal priorities with work responsibilities.
Check In To Hear What They Learned
People go through a lot of introspection when they're away from work. While time away can help an employee feel refreshed, they might return with uncertainties about work, too. In my experience, many are concerned about things like their career trajectory and their place at the company.
To address these feelings, schedule a conversation with employees about their time away. Ask questions like: What did you learn about yourself? What did you learn about the business? Did you get the support you needed while you were away? This conversation should help show employees that they are valued, that they have a future at the company and that their work is meaningful — all factors, according to research from HR consulting firm Randstad, that can contribute to employee attrition if left unrecognized.
Check In to Share What You Learned
Thanks to our hyperconnected age, people can only do so much to fully disconnect from work. Often, they're still texting with co-workers about office goings-on and following the company on social media.
But make sure to check in with them upon their return to catch them up and, more importantly, share feedback. Typically, their team or colleagues will have learned something about how that person's work gets done. For example, in taking over some tasks from my colleague who's away on maternity leave, I've learned what an amazing job she does — but I've also identified a few areas I've worked to improve. This isn't a conversation for their first day back: Give the returning employee a few days or even a week to start to reacclimate before diving into feedback.
Show Employees The Human Side of Work
Implementing a reentry program doesn't have to happen all at once. It could be as simple as pairing employees with a mentor similar to many new hire onboarding programs. The ultimate goal is to show employees the human side of work. In fact, close to 60% of employees in the Randstad survey left their company because they felt their company prioritized profits or revenues over how people are treated. The opportunity to take leave can help show that that's not the case, but how the company treats their return will also color their experience — and determine whether they feel disconnected from or reconnected to the company.

The congresswoman has no patience for the Fox News host's racism and sexism.
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) had nothing to say to Bill O'Reilly after the Fox News host made a racist and sexist comment about her Tuesday. But she did have a lot to say to viewers tuning in to MSNBC.
"I am a strong black woman, and I cannot be intimidated. I cannot be undermined," Waters said after MSNBC host Chris Hayes asked her about O'Reilly's disastrous insult.
"They have been sued by women. They have had to pay millions of dollars out in fines for harassment and other kinds of things. And so we know about that checkered past. And we also know that when a woman stands up and speaks truth to power that there will be attempts to put her down, and so I'm not going to be put down. I'm not going to go anywhere. I'm going to stay on the issues," she said.
Shortly after Waters appeared on MSNBC, O'Reilly addressed his racist remark during his Fox News show, but he snickered while he issued an apology to the congresswoman.
Judging from the congresswoman's inspiring response, she's not too concerned about O'Reilly.


A couple of weeks ago we looked at some of the trends that we believe will impact labor and management in 2018. This time we want to consider trends that will impact the workplace in general.
Employment will increase in 2018, but at a slow rate.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics believes the unemployment rate will fall from 4.3% in 2017 to 4.2% in 2018. They believe the fastest growing jobs will be in healthcare, personal care, social assistance and construction.
Other job areas which were promised increases by politicians, such as mining and most manufacturing, will see no significant increases in 2018. The overall growth could be threatened by other economic factors including the markets and the international economies.
Companies focus on upskilling and retraining current workers. Retaining current employees will have increasing importance, but along with this will be the need for more retraining. Admarco reports the half life of a learned skill is only five years. This means that much of what you learned 10 years ago is obsolete and half of what you learned 5 years ago is irrelevant.
Leaders must encourage more human interaction. No matter how good the equipment or sophisticated the automation, there is no substitute for people. Last blog, we pointed out the need for more worker training, but this needs to go beyond the so-called "hard training" skills.
These soft-skills are essential to effective problem-solving and workplace improvement, yet they are often ignored when planning training. It may be assumed that people will communicate effectively, but this is generally not the case. They need help, support, and training.
There will be increased opportunities for real employee engagement. We have detailed the benefits of engaging employees in many of our blogs, yet many employers have been unable to attain the benefits that result from involvement. We believe employers will place a renewed emphasis on engagement as they realize the potential for financial gains that will result. The decrease in recruitment costs combined with more skilled employees ready to utilize new methods and technology will pay benefits, but only if there is a real commitment to involving employees in all facets of the workplace. This commitment has often been lacking, resulting in a failure to derive the full benefits employee engagement can present.
If your organization is interested in building or enhancing their employee engagement process, contact CALMC. Our experiences have helped many organizations achieve their engagement goals and realize the benefits of listening to the employee voice in their workplaces.
We would like to hear your thoughts about trends or issues affecting your workplace or organizations. Please comment on this site or contact us and let us hear your ideas.

Q: Swapping terms using Assignment de-structuring wont work inside a function let a = 'alpha', b = 'beta';
[a,b] = [b,a];

This swaps the values of a and b as intended;
but when placed inside a function it doesn't work
let c = 'charlie', d = 'delta';
swapVar = (x,y) => [x,y] = [y,x]
swapVar(c,d);

What am I missing here?

A: When you do
let a = 'alpha', b = 'beta';
[a,b] = [b,a];

You're swapping the values of a and b.
When you do
let c = 'charlie', d = 'delta';
swapVar = (x,y) => {
   // x and y are separate variables scoped within this block
   [x,y] = [y,x]
   console.log(x,y); // it is swapped alright but isn't reflected on c and d
   c = x;
   d = y;
   // Now the value will have been reflected.
}
swapVar(c,d);

So, within the function the values are swapped but aren't reflected outside. You could modify the program like this:
swapVar = (x,y) => [y,x]
[c, d] = swapVar(c, d); // now you're reflecting the swapped values on the outside

To have the intended effect.

A: You are doing the swap in a scope where the variables aren't being "exported".
In the first example, you act on the actual variables a and b in the scope they are defined in.
However, in the second example, you are acting on the variables x and y which are the same value as c and d but aren't the actual c and d since they are primitives so the c and d outside the scope of the arrow function is not affected.

{
  let a = 'alpha',
    b = 'beta';
  console.log("Test 1");
  console.log(`before a: ${a} b: ${b}`);
  [a, b] = [b, a];
  console.log(`after a: ${a} b: ${b}`);
}

{
  let c = 'charlie',
    d = 'delta';
  console.log("Test 2");
  console.log(`before c: ${c} d: ${d}`);
  swapVar = (x, y) => [x, y] = [y, x]

  /*
  function swapVarExpanded(x, y) {
    const tmp = [y, x];
    x = tmp[0];
    y = tmp[1];
    // Doesn't actually matter
    // because x and y die at the next closing curly brace due to scope
  }
  */

  swapVar(c, d);
  console.log(`after c: ${c} d: ${d}`);
}

Sam Lee has brain explosion over Tasmanian Government Firearm proposals
fouadmin March 26, 2018 David Leyonhjelm, Gun Control Australia, News, Sam Lee, Tasmania, Tasmanian election, Will Hodgman	2 Comments
It seems only 10 people turning up to your Friday afternoon protest has really got to Sam Lee who has had a meltdown in the Guardian, calling for the Federal Government to "seize control" over the states on firearms:
"Gun control advocates have called for federal intervention – and even a referendum – after commissioning a damning report that shows states and territories have trashed the historic 1996 national firearms agreement.
The agreement, which led to the surrender and destruction of more than 1.1m firearms, was signed by all states and territories after the Port Arthur massacre, and after threats by then-prime minister John Howard to hold a constitutional referendum on the issue. The report by Gun Control Australia (GCA) found more than 50 breaches of the code by states and territories. Each jurisdiction had walked away in some way, the report found.
GCA is now calling for a referendum to make gun control laws a federal responsibility and to prevent the "wreckage" of the 1996 agreement. The organisation's chair, Sam Lee, said the referendum was needed after "years of political pressure" by the gun lobby.
"The national firearms agreement is haemorrhaging because the states and territories are legislating it away in return for gun lobby votes and funding," Lee said.
Last week, former deputy prime minister Tim Fischer told Guardian Australia he was "deeply concerned" about the emergence of an NRA-style gun lobby in Australia. His comments came after it was revealed the home affairs minister, Peter Dutton, was considering establishing a committee to allow gun importers to review proposed changes to firearms regulations for "appropriateness and intent".
Lee said the election-eve revelations in Tasmania that the Liberal government had plans to further water down gun laws in the state where the Port Arthur massacre occurred, were "a further nail in the coffin" of the 1996 agreement.
Sam needs a straitjacket – there really is no other way to describe this unhinged rant.
Again the lie about the Tasmanian proposals being made public on the eve of the election is pushed by the Guardian. We know this is incorrect:
Based Leyonhjelm also made his thoughts known about the issue on ABC News yesterday:
Sam wanting the federal government to override the constitution is rhetoric right out of the Communist Manifesto, or more recently right out of the African National Congress.
It's a non-legally binding agreement and the states do not have to comply with it. Get over it.
This was even brought up at the 2015 Senate Inquiry which Gun Control Australia gave evidence at:
A nation that just spent $120 million and months of political back and forth on a plebiscite is not going to have a national referendum on firearms, particularly when more pressing issues such as immigration, the banking royal commission and energy prices are at the forefront of the national conscience.
No doubt there will be more of this hyperbolic rubbish form the anti-gun crowd in the lead up to the proposed inquiry but one thing is for certain: desperation has sunk in at Gun Control Australia.
I'll drink to that.

What Is an Emerald Cut Diamond?
Emerald can be used to describe the precious green gemstone or the diamond cut, or shape. Both bring to mind unmatched beauty and elegance, but for today, we'll focus on the emerald cut diamond. This is one of the oldest and most classic diamond cuts, and one of the most popular for engagement rings.
It's easy to see why women have swooned over this fancy shaped diamond for centuries. It is universally flattering, versatile, and entrancing. It can feel modern because of its straight lines and striking appearance in a solitaire setting, or vintage because of its affiliation with the art deco movement of the 1920s.
If you're after a timeless center stone, the emerald cut is worth considering. So what is an emerald cut diamond and how do they differ from other styles? Our experts are here to help. Read on to learn more about this captivating diamond cut and how to shop for it for your engagement ring.
The Features of an Emerald Cut Diamond
From its elongated shape to its entrancing brilliance, these are the features that make the emerald cut unique.
The emerald cut stone has a rectangular shape, which can vary from long and narrow to more square-like depending on its length to width ratio. Typically, this diamond shape features cut corners, rather than sharp corners like you would see on a princess cut diamond. The corners are often the most vulnerable part of a diamond, so cut or truncated corners, or corners covered by prongs are less prone to chipping. While this creates a straight edge on each corner of an emerald cut diamond, it doesn't affect the overall shape of the stone.
The emerald cut diamond is defined by this long, rectangular shape, which appears elegant and refined, and elongates the hand of the wearer. This shape doesn't only define the edge of the stone, though. If you look at an emerald shape diamond closely, you'll notice the facets are also long and rectangular, as opposed to star-shaped as they are with many other diamond cuts, and that they create a rectangular pavilion at the center of the stone, often referred to as the "window" into the diamond. These rectangular facets are called step cuts. The straight lines of this fancy shape diamond create an entrancing "hall of mirrors" effect and appeal to a clean, modern aesthetic.
Other diamond cuts that share the emerald's straight lines and step cuts include the Asscher cut diamond and the baguette cut diamond. The Asscher cut diamond is the most similar to the emerald cut but is square in shape. The baguette cut diamond is also similar to the emerald cut in shape and style, which is why it is commonly used as a side stone in emerald engagement rings.
One of a diamond's most enticing traits is its sparkle. This quality is one of the reasons it is the choice gemstone for engagement rings. But not all diamond cuts sparkle the same. The sparkliest of them all is the round brilliant cut. However, the eye-catching fire and brilliance of a round cut diamond aren't for everyone.
The emerald cut stone offers a much more subdued sparkle. Due to the nature of its facets, an emerald diamond emits less fire and brilliance than some other cuts, but it still catches and reflects the light beautifully, especially if its clarity grade is high. If it's sparkle you're after, you may want to consider a radiant cut engagement ring, which features a square or rectangular shape, similar to the emerald cut diamond, but star-shaped facets that emit more sparkle. Alternatively, you can set an emerald diamond with a pave band, a halo, or side stones to enhance its sparkle.
How To Shop for an Emerald Cut Engagement Ring
Selecting a diamond engagement ring is a big decision that requires a lot of thought and research. Here is our best advice to follow when shopping for an emerald cut engagement ring.
Mind The Four Cs
When shopping for any diamond, it's important to consider the 4Cs of diamond quality- cut, color, carat, and clarity. When shopping for an emerald cut diamond shape, clarity is of paramount importance. The unique faceting structure of this diamond cut makes any flaws within the diamond more apparent, so seek out a stone with a high clarity grade.
Keep carat weight in mind as well. The higher the carat weight, the larger the "window" into the diamond, and the more visible any inclusions will be. So, as you increase in carat weight, you will also need to increase in clarity grade.
Source an Ethical Stone
While sourcing a lab grown diamond is a more ethical option, it is also a more economical one. In the case of emerald cut diamonds, this is particularly true. You can find a lab grown emerald cut diamond with a high clarity grade without sacrificing carat weight, color, or cut. All of our loose man made diamonds offer the same sparkle and durability as mined natural diamonds minus the ethical implications and high price tag. This is why we recommend sourcing an ethical stone for your emerald cut diamond ring.

If one can make good use of all the resources in this very lifetime, including: one's own wealth, knowledge, abilities, time, longevity and health, so that one can have a more in-depth understanding of one's post-death life, of "how to extend beyond it, how to deal with adversities, and how to escape from dangers". It can also help one to redefine one's own attitudes and ways of "dealing with people and things", so as to discard all evil behaviors while uphold goodness and kindness to all.
At the same time, it can help one to use suitable and wise methods to positively train and enhance the degrees of clarity and concentration of one's "mental strength" for the further elevation of one's spiritual state, and also learn how to cope with the new form and mode of existence after one's own death. In this way, it would continuously help one to elevate the spiritual realm of one's own life until being "liberated from the cycle of karmic existence", and thus to totally break away from all of the shackles of life and existence.
Such good use and handling of this lifetime's resources will further enrich this very life, enhance and elevate the evolutionary process of life, and to be finally liberated from all of the shackles of this life, so as to face death squarely. One can even go further by the "making use of death" to accelerate the evolutionary process of one's "spiritual life", such that one has no regrets for "what one has possessed and existed" in this lifetime, and can further live up to the expectations of one's future life. This is, indeed, the true "meaning of life"!
The Chinese sage Zhuangzi had once said: "Good in my life, good in my death", which means that "if one can take care of one's life well, one can also face one's death squarely with ease". If one can positively face one's own life, understand what life is all about, learn how to deal with life, and can even ultimately control one's own life with ease, without any entanglements, and neither will one have to face again the "cycle of karmic existence", then they are, indeed, the "masters of their lives" who can truly understand the "essence of life": If one can truly understand life well, then one will also truly understand death as well.
When one can cherish what one has in this life, display the driving force of life to release and develop one's potential and radiance of life to their fullest extent, one will then be able to liberate oneself from the spinning-wheel-like shackles of life and existence (i.e. the "cycle of karmic existence"), and stop feeling helpless in the continual "cycles of life and death". This kind of wisdom is as bright as the "light" itself, and is also the "true meaning and essence of life".
Ever since the Year 2000, the Dudjom Buddhist Association (International) has spared no efforts in promoting "Life and Death Education", so as to facilitate people in this modern world to re-think, re-evaluate, and reflect from a totally new vantage point on the major critical issue in one's life – "Life and Death", and to foster new insights for the true meaning and value of one's life with a new understanding, so that they know how to deal with the operations of the "post-death world", and to stay away from dangers for an even better rebirth.
To re-evaluate one's understanding on the true meaning and value of life itself !
To Save Oneself at the Moment of Death!

Scott's Moment of Truth
Actor Conrad Coleby may only be a year older than his All Saintscharacter Scott Zinenko, but he speaks with a maturity beyond his 22 years.
Viewers of this week's episode of All Saintswill have watched as trainee ambulance officer Scott dealt with the harrowing situation of having a girl with a crush on him attempt to take her own life.
"It's a learning curve for Scott because he realises that you can't treat women the way he has, as you're actually messing with their emotions," Conrad says.
It is yet another challenge for All Saints'affable, easygoing ambo, but Conrad says he's enjoying playing Scott as he grows and changes through his experiences. For his character, the storyline is close to home: Scott's own father committed suicide when Scott was young—a scar he still bears.
"It's a hard thing to talk about. I think there's a lot of pressure on young people nowadays to succeed," Conrad says. "The way things are portrayed on television and in commercials, we're told that it's all about having great clothes and money and a great girlfriend, but this is really the wrong idea about life.
"Life shouldn't be about those things. Life should be about running in the rain or going down to that beach, or sitting in a favourite spot and watching the ocean. Life's about nature and being in nature rather than about all those nutty things. I suppose all this pressure makes people take life too seriously," contemplates Conrad.
He has some good advice for anyone who feels things are getting on top of them: think of life as a game of snakes and ladders. Snakes are life's challenges; the ladders are life's opportunities. And they complement each other perfectly.
"The game would be boring without the snakes, because there'd be no challenge, and life is a challenge. People tend to take negative things in life personally, but if you can be objective about them you'll be able to enjoy and appreciate the good times when they come even more.'"

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Mary Beth Spang, a 2015 Liberal Arts graduate, recently started her first semester at Harvard University. She is pursuing a master of education in human development and psychology at Harvard University's Graduate School of Education. The one-year program will teach her about the field of mental health and help her hone her skills so she can one day pursue a full-time position within the mental health community.
Her passion and motivation for the field stems from her personal experience. She said no other mission speaks to her heart as clearly as this one.
"Through my personal experience managing depression and anxiety, as well as volunteering with the Centre County Women's Resource Center and Crisis Text Line, I've realized how much I care about supporting and advocating for humans experiencing mental illness," said Spang.
Spang was a Schreyer Honors Scholar and Paterno Fellow and received a bachelor's degree in English and Spanish and a bachelor of philosophy degree in linguistics. She was the student marshal for the Department of Spanish, Italian and Portuguese at the spring 2015 graduation ceremony.
While an undergraduate at Penn State, Spang was deeply involved in extracurricular activities. She was active in the Liberal Arts Undergraduate Council, Penn State's campus chapter of Habitat for Humanity, Liberal Arts Envoys, Council of LionHearts and Mortar Board Senior Honor Society. She also served as a research assistant for the Center for Language Science.
"Looking back on it three years later, I think my proudest accomplishment while an undergraduate is that I graduated. Being a Penn State student changed me, and graduating symbolized that transition in a way that made me feel both proud and so, so grateful," she said.
After graduating from Penn State, Spang took part in the Division of Development and Alumni Relations (DDAR) Summer Internship Program. She credits the program with helping her to transition from a full-time student to a young professional. This experience introduced her to the field of higher education development and alumni relations and made her want to work full-time for Penn State after the completion of the internship.
Before starting her master's program at Harvard, Spang served as the assistant director of development for the College of Education at Penn State. She also is an active mental health contributor to the Mighty, a digital health community created to empower and connect people facing health challenges and disabilities.

There was this biologist who was doing some experiments with frogs. He was measuring just how far frogs could jump. So he puts a frog on a line and says "Jump frog, jump!". The frog jumps 2 feet. He writes in his lab book: 'Frog with 4 legs - jumps 2 feet'.
Next he chops off one of the legs and repeats the experiment. "Jump frog jump!" he says. The frog manages to jump 1.5 feet. So he writes in his lab book: 'Frog with 3 legs - jumps 1.5 feet'.
He chops off another and the frog only jumps 1 foot. He writes in his book: 'Frog with 2 legs jumps 1 foot'.
He continues and removes yet another leg. " Jump frog jump!" and the frog somehow jumps a half of a foot. So he writes in his lab book again: 'Frog with one leg - jumps 0.5 feet'.
Finally he chops off the last leg. He puts the frog on the line and teels it to jump. "Jump frog, jump!". The frog doesn't move. "Jump frog, jump!!!". Again the frog stays on the line. "Come on frog, jump!". But to no avail.


Discussion in 'Motoring Related Discussion' started by alexanderfoti, Sep 5, 2018.
I am thinking of opening up a Mercedes Specialist garage, as that is where my passion is. My other businesses are now self sufficient and I am at a stage where its viable for me.
I have Mercedes DSB access and Webparts membership with the local dealer and most of the kit I need.
However, workshop unit availability is slim to non. I live around the Bromley area, and am trying to figure out where would be best. Was looking around the Dartford area, towards west kingsdown if possible.
Some people have shown me units in Maidstone, and a bit closer in Tonbridge and Gravesend, but I feel like these are a bit far out to target the London crowd.
My wife disagrees with me and thinks that I should go a bit further out to get a better workshop (there is certainly more choice).
What are the thoughts of the MB gang?
People will travel for good service and nothing is more frustrating than continually shuffling cars around because of space restrictions.
But If your going to specifically target the better off Londoners then dig deep and pay the price but you will have to chase it every week.
I have let many garages and workshops, the constant factor in there success was offering true value which doesn't mean cheap.
Finding space in a good part of London will be dear but a night shift might make a big difference staffing it will as always be difficult.
The other point often missed is just because someone lives in an expensive house and drives an expensive car means they will want to pay any more and often in my experience its less or not at all.
I have just been to a multi-million pound house with two new very up market cars on the drive and the owner or should I say debtor is skint.
Don't take on an expensive workshop as a one man band its very stressful especially if you get ill.
I have thought about that, Overground links are a must, within a mile I would have thought. Underground would be better, but I don't want to spend hours commuting a day. I would be offering a courtesy vehicle to customers which should also make it a bit better.
I worked at WG-MB for a while and the constant car shuffling was a major PIA, especially when next door used to keep blocking our entrance.
I fully agree wrt to offering true value. I do not intend to go after the uber cheap crowd, the idea would be to bring value to the MB crowd that appreciate a place that does everything as MB says, using the correct tools etc.
I know all about keeping up appearances. Im not sure I want to target the "London" crowd but do appreciate there is a small gap around this area, the further out I go the less this applies though.
I would be using the unit as an office for day to day business as well as for the garage, the idea being having a few people working for me at the same time. I will be aggressively driving business either way. I wont be twiddling my thumbs.
I have a budget for what I want and I can get it around all these areas but need to figure out where is best.
Sounds like you have thought this through Alex and looking at your MSP company I know you wouldn't go half way house at it. if you can find the right space at the right price and can get a good pair of mechanics working with you as you say the little extra distance shouldn't put people off.
That's my thoughts too. Its much harder to find space than I thought!
Need to do some more research, but it seems like a much more viable position. West Kingsdown was pretty good but its slim pickings!
If it was me, I'd be looking at kings hill but it might be a bit of a commute. That should get just enough of good work coming from Tonbridge, RTW, Maidstone and Severn oaks.
Garage, not trying to put a downer on your dreams but having been there I can tell you it's a real eye opener!!! Just off the top of my head your gonna need £100000 for tooling, star machine, ramps, insurances, rates etc etc etc, it's a endless pit of money before you even earn your first £100!! Saying that, I will help you if I can, just hope you realise what it's gonna cost ya!!!
Absolutely. I have enough tools to start something now. I have been doing it from my. House for a while now actually. Have a few star machines with a couple of muxs.
Rates don't look too bad at the moment with the relief underneath £10,500 taxable amount and a friend works in insurance to cover me for motor industry and public liability, which may actually end up cheaper than my personal aviva policy which is 3k+ pa.
I don't/won't take it lightly though and I do appreciate that you aren't trying to put a downer on it and making sure I'm going into it with my eyes open!
The only thing is a ramp, which I have secured for £2k installed and warranted for 5 years.
Website/internet/telephony/online booking etc I can all be done at cost by my other business so it saves me some there.
One thing I haven't figured out is waste oil collection, but I may look at safetykleen for that as well as a parts cleaner.
You should also investigate what's already available! In West Kingsdown, for example, there's an existing MB specialist on the A20 as you approach West Kingsdown from the south. Maidstone way is Steve Garlik. There's another just off the A20 Sidcup bypass, Mastertech on Ellingham Industrial estate on the south side of Ashford, I'm sure I've seen something about one just north of Tonbridge as well as one on the south side of Maidstone.
Whatever you decide, I wish you luck, just wish you were a Porsche (especially early FE) specialist as I only know of 3 in Kent, one I will never use again (who is also the closest to me unfortunately) and 2 others that are a hike away!
I have done, there are loads all over the place, I'm not particularly going for the "only one in the village" type thing.
I know a few specialists that work next to each other.
maybe it suits them as a change of career Alex ?
Hi Alex have you done any potential client profiling yet ? For example : what age group, what car group, what car age group, what business group, what industrial group? Define these groups (and add more of course) then create methods to identify work and home locations.
Are you considering offering a collection service ? If you do your location is less critical.
I've run my own place for twenty years. I think my advice would be try to build it up slowly. I know you may have a dream garage image in your head, but all that stuff needs paying for. If you can start small, and pick and choose your work a little bit you will earn and grow. Going big from the start means you will likely be taking on all and everything that comes your way, and some of those jobs can become big headaches really quickly.
Mercedes main dealers will become your best asset - they produce so many unhappy customers you can easily provide a service that will impress and delight anyone brave enough to seek an alternative.
Keep a tight rein on customers paying you, particularly motor traders. One months credit can quickly become two or three, and that can very easily break you if they go bust.
In conclusion, very good luck with it! It's really good fun, and I could never go back to working for anyone else.
If you need any advice, large or small, I'm happy to help you if I can.
Not yet. I think it's important to identity a potential client base and volume but we won't be picky. If it has an MB star, then we will do it.
I also want to have a performance and tuning section of the business as I have a fair but of experience with that and feel like it's a growing market.
Many thanks! Absolutely, that is good advice. I have aspirations but small from the start, lots of sundry jobs etc, things I have done before etc.
I have enough tools to do things like main servicing, brakes, suspension, vac/boost testing, AC regassing./servicing, clutches etc.
Major engine work will probably have to wait or be referred somewhere else.
I want to have minimal outlay to start, so premises and a ramp will be all I need. I can actually get by without a ramp for a while but it will be a pain.
I know what you mean about main dealers. I deal with them every now and then, and often for parts, and even with a trade membership they are rubbish.
I do need to figure out what the best pricing structure is and servicing pricing is difficult to grasp with so much optional items to price up.
I feel like I should be aiming for 50% of main dealer pricing but need to call around.


Maguana villas, 21km (13 miles) from Baracoa, are secluded and peaceful in a totally private, pretty cove next to a the famous 2km (1 1/4-mile) long white sand public beach called Playa Maguana.
In the very hot summer the locals come from miles around to play on the pristine sands, gossip a dreat deal, and of course cool off in the fish rich waters. A few fishermen with snorkels and harpoons are there all year round.
The Villas and beach are backed by dense lush sub-tropical jungle and mountains. It is a truely spectacular and an idilic setting for being at one with nature. There are no other hotels here, just these 4 villas!
The Maguana villas would be a great place for a large family or four couples to rent and just hang out here on the beautiful outskirts of Baracoa. Young people will like Baracoa city's nightlife too, especially in the summer months.
Each of the four new villas have four rooms, are quite large and charmingly rustic, like private cabins, with dark wood furniture and red and yellow decor; two have great terraces with rocking chairs overlooking the transparent water. Note that rooms 1 and 2 face the maguana beach.

Paris Junior College and the PJC Memorial Foundation received a clean audit report at the January PJC Board of Regents meeting on Monday.
The regents also approved an Associate of Science in Sport and Recreation Management and a Public Health option on the Associate of Science in Kinesiology which will facilitate transfer to Texas A&M University-Commerce.
The Public Health option with a one-course difference to the kinesiology degree will allow transfer to TAMU-C for their public health bachelor's degree and when completed, students may go advance straight into their master's program in public health.
The Board of Regents received a preliminary enrollment report showing an enrollment of 4,433 students, up from 4,294 at this time last year. There are many more still waiting for processing issues to be resolved; a final enrollment number will be presented at the February meeting.
Regents also heard the latest data from the annual Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System report which compares PJC to 22 other medium sizes Texas colleges. PJC's graduation rate is 32 percent versus 21 percent at peer colleges, 78 percent of students are on financial aid versus 68 percent of students, 61 percent are on Pell compared to 52 percent, and PJC spends less in nearly all categories than peers.
Received an updated presentation from Stantec on Student Center renovations including window replacement. The Board voted to move forward with bids for the project.
Accepted the Texas Association of School Board's Local Policy Update 35 to the governing policies of the college.
Accepted employment of Student Recruiter/Academic Advisor Katherine Barnes, Adult Education Site Coordinator/Career Pathways Navigator Marifrances Casey, Computer Information Systems Instructor Cedric Crawford, and Radiology Technology Instructor/Clinical Coordinator Laura Fendley.
Approved a City of Paris utility easement on Jefferson Road.

lid-close enlightenment 0.20 fedora

A problem that has been anying me for a while now, Enlightenment 0.20 on fedora cannot detect the lid-close event and hence lid-close does not do anything.
What I want is on lid-close blank and lock screen, this serves as a quick screen lock and also save battery.
== why it doesn’t work
fedora does not install and enable/start acpid by default. without acpid enlightenment does not know about power events.
in Fedora systemd is the system that handles those and sends notifs to the DM, while other DMs like gnome know how to handle systemd events, enlightenment does not

solution

install and enable acpid

[user~]\>$ dnf install acpid
[user~]\>$ systemctl start acpid
[user~]\>$ systemdctl enable acpid

reload enlightenment using the ctrl-alt-end now it should be able to detect lid-close events. from the acpi bindings settings pabne set the desired action

I am still unable to set it to blank the screen.

Champion jockey Kerrin McEvoy says being afforded a clear run in Saturday's Golden Rose is more important than worrying about what barrier The Autumn Sun has to contend with.
The exciting colt had traffic problems when he lost his unbeaten record earlier this month in the Stan Fox Stakes and that's where McEvoy sees barrier 10 as more a blessing than a curse.
He knows he can't afford for things to go wrong as The Autumn Sun has to deal with coming back 100m on a good track against a group of three-year-olds arguably better suited to 1400m.
"The barrier allows us to hopefully file into a position and have an uninterrupted run,'' McEvoy said.
"He has such a big action so that's important.
Four of the last five winners of the Group 1 $1m De Bortoli Wines Golden Rose (1400m) have jumped from double figure barriers including The Autumn Sun's trainer Chris Waller's lone winner Zoustar (2013), who is the sire of his other runners Lean Mean Machine and Zousain.
McEvoy, winner of the 2009 Golden Rose on Denman, said although The Autumn Sun was beaten in the Stan Fox he rates the performance as good as a win.
The colt, already a Group 1 winner of the JJ Atkins, found himself back near last on the fence on the turn first-up and was never able to fully extend but still managed to run third behind Tarka.
Punters Intel data shows he ran the fastest last 200m of the race in 12.40 when he was able to wind up. At $3.90 on Friday he was pressing Graff ($3.40) for Rose favouritism with TAB.
"We got into all sorts of trouble there last start and were a certainty beaten,'' he said.
"Take that out of the equation, if you have him down as a winner you go in with plenty of confidence.
Sharpness is something that's also in McEvoy's mind when he rides Youngstar in the Group 2 $200,000 Schweppes Shannon Stakes (1500m).
The Queensland Oaks winner produced an eye-catching first-up sixth in the Tramway Stakes, running the fastest last 600m of the race in 32.97, and the effort earned high praise from McEvoy.
"I must admit I was a little apprehensive about how she would handle the step up to open age in her first-up run but it was a stellar performance,'' he said.
Jockey Kerrin McEvoy (Pic: Bradley Photos).
Youngstar was the $3.10 favourite with TAB on Friday to hand Waller his first winner in the Shannon, a rare feature race the champion trainer hasn't yet managed to claim.
McEvoy is banking on the genius of Waller to keep the four-year-old fresh enough at this stage of her campaign, aimed at staying features in Melbourne, to sprint like she did first-up.
"I doubt she would have lost too much of her sharpness,'' he said.
Meanwhile, McEvoy gave Epsom Handicap second favourite Unforgotten his tick of approval after her barrier trial at Rosehill on Friday morning.
And he also gave Everest champ Redzel a glowing report following Thursday morning trackwork, his first serious work since the stable mishap that saw him scratched from The Shorts last weekend.
"He felt fine, he doesn't seem to have taken any ill effects after that stiffness,'' McEvoy said.
Redzel, second favourite at $6 for The TAB Everest, runs in the Premiere Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on Satutrday week alongside Everest runners Trapeze Artist, In Her Time, Invincible Star, Santa Ana Lane and Shoals.

Dichroics, Mirrors, and Beamsplitters — Omega Optical
Visit Supplier Website
Let us help you with your inquiries, brochures and pricing requirements
Dichroic beamsplitters are longpass and shortpass filters that are utilized at non-normal angles of incidence. The filters can efficiently reflect at a specified spectral region and simultaneously transmit at another spectral region.
Dichroic beamsplitters are available in all ranges of wavelengths, with reflectivity usually reaching higher than 98% values and transmission often reaching greater than 85% values.
Since dichroic beamsplitters are non-absorbing, the entire light that is not transmitted is specularly reflected. In most applications, the dichroic beamsplitters are oriented at an angle of 45°, allowing the reflected light to produce an angle of 90° to the incident light, although it is possible to achieve any angle less than 100°.
Longpass angled filter will cause the longer wavelengths to be transmitted through the filter lying parallel to the path of the incident and original light beam, while causing the shorter wavelengths to be reflected in an off-axis direction, hence the term dichroic, meaning two colors.
Upon using dichroic beamsplitters at angles that are different from the normal angle of incidence (AOI), the polarization of the incident beam becomes important. P-polarized light and S-polarized light interact differently with the thin-film stack. This often results in a step in the %T or %R measurements at above 20° AOI when a standard setup is utilized.
If the polarization state of the incoming light is known, users can make the measurements using either S-polarization or P-polarization to reflect their experimental setup more accurately. Although many customers desire to decrease the difference between P-polarized and S-polarized responses, they can also manipulate the different spectral properties to separate the P-plane and S-plane of the polarization states.
Dichroic beamsplitters are defined by:
Cut-on edge (LP) — refers to the edge wavelength at 50% of the highest transmission of the filter
Cut-off edge (SP) — refers to the edge wavelength at 50% of the highest transmission of the filter
Reflection range — refers to the spectral region where the filter does not transmit
Transmission range — refers to the spectral region where the filter transmits
Edge steepness — refers to the edge slope between reflection and transmission
Polarization — refers to the level of spectral separation induced by polarization
Filter Types
Dichroic (DC)
Wide regions of both transmission and reflection are provided by dichroic filters. These filters show a high degree of polarization, along with a somewhat shallow transition slope.
Dichroic Mirror (DM)
A broad reflection region, a restricted transmission region, a steep transition slope, and reduced polarization effects are included in the dichroic mirrors.
Dichroic Reflector (DR)
A broad transmission region, a restricted reflection region, a steep transition slope, and low polarization are included in the dichroic reflectors.
Cube Beamsplitters
Cube beamsplitters offer highly efficient polarization of the incident beam. These beamsplitters also avoid the undesirable lateral displacement of the transmitted beam and even ghost images of the reflected beam.
Cube beamsplitters are produced by first coating the hypotenuse of a right-angle prism and then cementing this prism to the hypotenuse of another right-angle prism. Omega Optical offers a product range that includes all kinds of filters available in a polarizing cube configuration.
Mirrors and Partial Mirrors
Mirrors and partial mirrors reflect uniformly over a broad spectral range. Partial mirrors work at off-normal angles of incidence, reflecting only a part of the incident light and transmitting the remaining portion of the incident light.
Beamsplitter Filters
Beamsplitter filters can be developed to work over ranges as wide as 700 nm. The performance can be located anywhere in the spectral region ranging from 240 to 20,000 nm. In addition, the ratio of the transmitted light to the reflected light (%T/%R) can be anywhere between 99/1 and 1/99, with regular products including ratios of 70/30, 50/50, and 30/70.
Total Reflector Mirrors
Total reflector mirrors are capable of reflecting 92% to 99% over their main spectral region. Such mirrors are created with a broad range of metal coatings, like aluminum, gold, silver, and unique types of alloys. A protective thin film is applied over these coatings.
Dichroic Reflector Mirrors
Dichroic reflector mirrors can reflect greater than 99% over a somewhat narrower spectral region. They are produced with various layers of dielectric materials and absorb virtually none of the light inside the spectral region of the design.
