People need to feel that they are 'up to something together' and that they are making a positive difference through delivering on targets to patients and customers.
Find out what really matters to people, what they care about by way of their values so that together you can link what they care about to the targets.
Share with them what you really care about and crucially why you care about these values, and how – whatever the target – connects with the bigger purpose of the wider business.
Paint a picture of the future, of where the business is heading and how achieving these targets is part of moving towards that future.
Tell a story. People are inspired by the stories we tell each other let them know why the target matters to you, the difference it will make to people and customers and how you and they are part of delivering that difference.
Believe in people even when they are not sure they can reach a target. Sometimes people are not sure they can reach a target, your belief in them and that they can will inspire them, and give them confidence that it can be done.
Encourage people who have different targets to share what they are with each other in the team, with their colleagues so that they can support and help each other to achieve them.
Remind people that even with achieving individual targets a commitment to each others success is essential, and that we can only commit to each other's success if we know what we are working on and towards.
Foster an environment in which 'we are up to something together', that we are working towards a shared target even if within that there are individual targets.
Create some team targets that are more to do with how we work together than what we are doing.
Focus on specific behaviours that connect with people's values that will help us deliver our targets for patients and customers care.
Make sure that people care for and look out for each other, offering help and asking for help in achieving targets.
Encourage people especially to ask for help when they are struggling in achieving a target and to get help from each other in the team and, or other colleagues.
Involve and include people, especially if they have had a break through sickness or a holiday, bring them up to speed and help them get back on track.
Acknowledge and appreciate people for their achievements along the way to reaching a target but also their accomplishments in overcoming obstacles and difficulties along the way.
Give people responsibility and accountability for delivering their targets by checking in with them on progress but not micromanaging them.
Give people space to come to you when they are struggling to ask for help.
Help people to learn from mistakes and failure through first asking yourself what you could have done differently in support of them, and secondly asking them what they could have done differently – and crucially what they will do in a similar situation next time.
Make sure that you acknowledge their contribution, especially when a target changes or when they have got new, different targets or even extra targets.
Celebrate success! Small successes and big ones!
Having targets gives us a great opportunity to celebrate when we have achieved them, and when we have gone beyond them. It is a great opportunity to build confidence and capability for next time – all the time building a high performance, high confidence individual, team and business that takes pride in the difference it is making.
Do you have what it takes to be a Great Marketing Leader?

Arsenal supporters - desperate fools at the end of our pitiful ropes
"The next time I update my resume, I'm adding to it that supporting Arsenal has given me strength of character"
If you've never seen Liar Liar, you should...it'll make the reference in the title make far more sense. But to save you time, Fletcher Reed (played by Jim Carrey) is a lawyer jinxed by his son when his birthday wish comes true that he cannot tell a lie. So, after taking a case where it's seemingly impossible to win without the ability to fib, he goes into the bathroom and begins to kick his own ass with reckless abandon. The court bailiff finds him, brings him back into the court room, and just when the judge is about to rule in his favor for a continuance on the case, he asks Reed if he can continue...given that he cannot lie, he says yes he can and thus he obliterated himself for no reason at all - well my fellow Gooners, we're Fletcher Reed.
Why are we Mr. Reed? Because we're the one's currently in the proverbial bathroom trying our best to beat the ever loving stuffing out of ourselves emotionally in the hopes that we'll be able to cope...and just when we think we stopped caring, our devotion and love of the club brings us right back to the inevitable conclusion that no matter how hard this is going to get this season, we just are never able to look away. We can't lie to ourselves, we just have to deal with come what may, figuratively and literally.
It's now come to the point, ladies and gentlemen, that when everyone under the sun (including former Arsenal players, former players who played against Wenger and every pundit imaginable as well as every armchair manager there ever was, is, and ever will be) is saying precisely the same things that once began as only a small enclave of the Arsenal faithful some seasons ago, it may just have to be time to admit you've been mucking it all up for years.
Not even Arsene Wenger's best OG impersonation is good enough...fail sauce all around...
Before we press on, I'd like to hit you with two separate bits of information if I may...one is a quote from one of the more daft people you'll ever come across (but he actually made a relevant point), and the other bit is a stat courtesy of the BBC:
"Chelsea and Arsenal seem miles apart - and that's because Jose Mourinho identified what he needed. His team now look unstoppable as a result." - Jamie Carragher
"Arsenal have lost more points from a winning position than any other Premier League team this season."
To be honest, it's probably a little ironic that it took Jamie (insert expletive) Carragher to reaffirm a point that so many of us have been making for quite sometime now. The difference between Wenger and basically every other "world class" manager you'll run across, is that those managers know how to identify squad weaknesses and bring in the reinforcements to shore up the problem. Chelsea needed a world class striker as well as a replacement for the outgoing Frank Lampard - in steps Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas and yes, now they are looking unstoppable...but it's not just Mourinho who is able to do this.
For the last few seasons, Jurgen Klopp has lost his best players at Dortmund - Shinji Kagawa shipped off to United three seasons back, and in the last two summers both Mario Gotze and Robert Lewandowski did the dirty on BvB and went to rival and Bavarian war machine Bayern Munich...but Klopp always did what was necessary. To replace Lewandowski he bought the capable pair of Ciro Immobile and Adrian Ramos...to replace Gotze he turned to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrik Mkhitaryan - lose quality, replace it with quality...a trend you see all over the footballing world, but no no...not at Arsenal.
Now, why is this relevant? To be honest, you already know...don't you. Thomas Vermaelen left to sunny Spain to join the worlds premier Dracula impersonator at Barcelona and he was never PROPERLY replaced (a fact that is now costing us in copious amounts). Robin van Persie was disgracefully allowed to go to United; he was never replaced. Gilberto Silva left the club, he was never properly replaced - these three personnel losses and their lack of a replacement have and will continue to haunt the club...if only Wenger would put aside his pet projects and do what is best for the club in the now instead of trying to relive 1999 and comb the globe for the worlds best and brightest to come in the future - a fact that has YET to pay off for the club in god knows how long.
Have you guessed yet that I am trying beyond all super human efforts to avoid speaking directly about the Swansea result? That's because I nearly went all Bellevue earlier today and almost lost my cool to the point of no return - my own personal Department of Defense nearly pressed THAT red button to which armageddon would ensue. What is there left to say that so many haven't said by the time this reaches you via laptop, desktop or smart phone - we were shockingly poor...and as usual, it didn't have to be that way...it's all so avoidable...it's always so avoidable.
To be fair, I was fine with the side, and then I saw that Nacho bloody Monreal was at center-back yet again, this time having the esteemed pleasure of dealing with either Wilfried Bony, Bafetimbi Gomis, or both at the same time (let's not even discuss what would have happened if Gary Monk had the testicular fortitude to play with both up front instead of the lone target man) - anyone that follows me on Twitter or Facebook would have seen my reaction at that realization, and low and behold, unwanted vindication in the form of Monreal's woefully pathetic attempt to challenge Jefferson Montero's cross into the area that saw Gomis head home the winner before the 80th minute. If there ever was further evidence that Monreal should be no where near the center of defense again, it was that horrifying moment...an attempted leap into the air that would make even the most non-athletic fourth grader feel like he's got a chance to make it as the an olympic medal recipient in the high-jump.
Surely a distant relative of Monreal...surely...
And if you're asking yourself if I'll delve into Wenger's complete and utter tactical ineptitude yet again, the answer is yes...I will begrudgingly go into the comedy of errors that we all had to suffer on the day. KNOWING that Swansea possess two physical center forwards with aerial ability, Wenger insisted on keeping Monreal at center-back, despite Per Mertesacker being a useless 6'8 sack of stale spaetzle as of late...ever since the World Cup to be exact. With BFG being exposed so often this season, Monreal lacking any sort of ability as a center back and Swansea having who they have, why was Calum Chambers not selected to partner Mert in the middle? Mind boggling...that's all there is to it.
Speaking of Chambers, he was absolutely roasted by Montero on our right flank from start to finish, and when he was eventually booked, he became that much more of a juicy target for the Ecuadorian jet-fighter with Chambers rendered basically useless at that point. Has Wenger forgotten that we are in possession of a natural right-back that is faster than Theo Walcott? Just what exactly does Hector Bellerin have to do to get into the XI, get some experience under his belt and let Chambers shine in the middle like he did in the early stages of the season? Yes Bellerin is young and yes he is inexperienced, but he'll only gain experience by playing, and while he's not Mathieu Debuchy, the after-burners that have taken up residence in his rear access panel means that he never would have been strung up by his ankles in the same fashion that Chambers was...and Chambers is by no means lacking pace mind you.
Worst of all, is even if Bellerin did not get the nod from the off, once it was blatantly obvious to all that Chambers was a late afternoon lunch for Montero, why was he not brought on to shore up the problem? Any manager worth his salt would have seen that issue and rectified it with the utmost haste before it turned into disaster...you know, the kind of disaster that saw Montero skin Chambers for the umpteenth time and put in that cross to Gomis for the winner. Pure and simple, the inclusion of Monreal and the exclusion of Bellerin spelled disaster before the match even began...truth-bombs for the lot of you.
Because we all love a good truth-bomb, especially Sean, I'll do my best 8th Air Force impression and drop a few more - first, why in gods name did Wenger not make changes before we went 2-1 down? Right after our goal, you just HAD to know that Swansea would look to exploit the blatant weaknesses we were in possession of, so where were the changes? Why wait till 10minutes from time to give players little to no chance of making any impact whatsoever? They'll barely get three touches in ten minutes, and one of the biggest issues for quite sometime is Le Prof's inability to read the ebb and flow of a match and recognize exactly what we need to fix to avoid losing out on a result.
Second truth-bomb; Steve Bould is clearly simmering something fierce under his skin sitting next to Wenger on the touchline. A second in command behind the manager, with a brilliant defensive pedigree, would never allow the shocking issues we have at the back to continue, unless it's been Wenger that refuses to heed his word and listen to his counsel. When was the last time you saw Bould and Wenger discuss matters? When was the last time Bould even smiled? Remember the rapport that Wenger and Rice had? Constant communication, Rice would get up and belt out orders and they would laugh/cry/throw water bottles when necessary - there is a clear and present issue between Wenger and his number two, and it's obvious.
Go on, Bouldy...hold back no longer...
For the third slap in the face, and the most painful to come to grips with to be honest, is the realization that Wenger was tactically outclassed by a first-year manager who just last season was still suiting up for the Swans from time to time before Danish legend Michael Laudrup was un-ceremoniously told to pack his personal effects and shove off. For so many, including Wenger himself, that love to tout up his achievements and knowledge of the game, to be bested by Gary Monk is downright criminal. Fair play to Monk for being intelligent enough to know what the rest of the country knows (Wenger's weaknesses), but it's not that hard to do what so many others are now finding increasingly easy to accomplish...best one of the "best."
Finally, the coup de grace, we have 17 points from our first 11 league matches. If you extrapolate those numbers out over the course of a 38-match campaign, we'll register a shade under 59 points on the season - not only is that not good enough for top four, but that's potentially not even good enough for top six or even top seven. Unless major improvement comes by way of a massive unbeaten run (where draws are not the preferred method of loss prevention), this could finally be the year that Wenger's entire kingdom that has been built on our top four trophy comes crashing down harder than a Jenga tower at a college dorm party.
As I sit here transcribing this, I shutter to think what United may potentially do to us after the international break. Wayne Rooney may not be in form, but he's still well capable on his day - as for Robin van Toolbag, Angel Di Maria, Juan Mata, Daley Blind and the rest of United's non-defenders...well, it could be a pasting if they are on song that day and we fail to threaten their own issues with their defensive lines. Louis van Gaal may currently be a failure at Old Trafford, but nothing would help that club find some sort of morale like a win over us amidst their current struggles...we should all pray that everyone comes back healthy and fit, that's the first battle we have to win before we even line up against the Red Devils.
All in all, at the end of the day, this is just not good enough. For a final telling moment, if you have not been glued to Arsenal Fan TV for any significant portion of time, please do so. For a while, the fans that came on in the segments were well and truly divided - many kept faith, many wanted change and Wenger out...but now, well, you'd be hard pressed to find any positive fan come on at all - there's nothing better than a decent sounding board anyway, right?
Bottom line, we're unhappy...many of us are unhappy...change is needed, in so many ways that I have not even gone into in this piece but I am almost sure to as time presses on. But as my friend Laura said to me earlier, she's done getting angry about the sad state of affairs...she's just gone numb to it all - when that happens, that's probably the worst realization of all, and if a die-hard supporter for as long as Laura has been can feel numb about this mess, then perhaps everyone should sit up and ask themselves why.
(P.S. don't forget to read Sean's piece that was released earlier this morning in case you may have missed it...rest assured, he's not happy either)

NUTRITION FOR HEALTHY ARTERIES: PREVENTION IN A PILL-VITAMINS AND MINERALS: WHAT TO CHOOSE AND WHAT DOSAGE | The blog is about health and gives useful information on health and disease.
In a society which now recognizes that vitamins, minerals and amino acids have a valuable role to play in health, there are precious few nutritional experts to give advice on personal data, such as hair analysis, blood profile, etc.
Beware of believing that being a doctor qualifies someone to give such advice – the medical syllabus provides virtually no information about nutritional matters except where they become medically diagnosable and treatable, such as with scurvy (the clinical lack of vitamin C). For every person who reaches that extreme there are probably a million who are vitamin C deficient in some level or another.
Most people get by on a vitamin/mineral composite daily tablet, but with arterial disease this, while helpful, is not enough. More specific supplementation is necessary; supplementation which, ideally, is tailored to personal profiles such as blood analysis or those designed by a nutritional expert.


GREENFIELD — The Connecticut River Watershed Council and Art for Water are creating a 'river of words' to draw attention to the federal re-licensing of five major hydroelectric facilities from Turners Falls to north of Hanover, N.H.

A New Jersey woman has given a harrowing account of the night she fell victim to a 'gang rape' during a college fraternity party on campus.
In a federal lawsuit filed in US District Court on Friday, the woman, whose identity is concealed, describes a horrific ordeal in which partygoers played 'rock-paper-scissors' to determine who would be first in sexually assaulting her.
Others also 'laughed hysterically' while filming the rapes, the woman's lawsuit alleges, according to The Bergen Record.
The plaintiff, who was 19 years of age at the time and who is identified in court papers as 'Jane Doe', alleges that on the night of November 14, 2014, she was raped while attending a 'Date Night'-themed party thrown by members of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity at a Ramapo College dorm in Mahwah, New Jersey.
During the party, fraternity members provided alcohol to underage teens who were mostly female.
The frat members 'actively solicited, recruited, and persuaded random students outside of the apartment building to come to this party'.
'They were calling down to recruit guests,' the lawsuit alleges.
The victim says that after she became intoxicated and passed out, a number of those at the party took turns raping her.
The lawsuit alleges that as she laid out on a bed, fraternity members played 'rock-paper-scissors' to 'determine who would get to sexually assault her'.
The lawsuit also alleges that while the assaults took place, others stood outside the door and did not intervene.
'Incredibly, rather than helping, (the defendants) watched and celebrated the assaults,' the lawsuit states.
Jane Doe also alleges that after the assaults, she was moved 'without her shoes, underwear, and jacket' to another dorm across campus, where she was raped by others.
The lawsuit says that those present during the course of these events 'were falling-down laughing hysterically while also videotaping the sexual assault'.
In June, authorities in New Jersey indicted five people for taking part in the attack, The Bergen Record reported.
The defendants were identified as Christian Lopez, 26, of Secaucus, New Jersey; Nakeem Gardner, 20, of Paterson, New Jersey; Christopher Rainone, 20, of Staten Island, New York; Justin Sommers, who is also 20 years old and from Staten Island; and Jordyn Massood, 20, of Wayne, New Jersey.
Lopez, Gardner, Rainone, and Sommers were charged with 17 counts that included aggravated sexual assault as well as videotaping the victim while she was naked.
Rainone, Sommers, and Massood were charged with encouraging or aiding the assault.
Jane Doe's lawsuit names Ramapo College, the Pi Kappa Alpha national fraternity, and members of the college's administration.
She alleges that these entities failed to adequately protect her by neglecting to adhere to federal statutes that require colleges to prevent 'hostile educational environment for female students.'
Ramapo and the fraternity knew of the events leading up to the assault 'but did nothing to intervene or stop them from unfolding,' the lawsuit alleges.
'This includes Public Safety and security employees and representatives, including outside Campus Security staff on patrol and present in security booths and checkpoints, as well as the individual responsible for entry and exit at Mackin Hall,' the lawsuit reads.
Jane Doe is seeking compensatory damages for emotional distress.
The fraternity in question has been suspended from campus.
Ramapo College declined to comment on the matter.
After the incident, the college hired a former New Jersey attorney general, Anne Milgram, to conduct a review.
In her report, Milgram concluded that while the college did act properly, it needed to implement changes in its campus security and alcohol policies.
'The central challenge currently facing Ramapo is that, in practice, a campus culture has developed wherein large, alcohol-based parties are held in and around Ramapo's residence halls,' Milgram wrote in her report.

Millennials Equate 'Free-From' with Health
Growing shopper population favors simple ingredients and show brand loyalty. Sponsored by Enjoy Life Foods.
Retailers have an opportunity to capture more sales of "Free-From" products as consumers increasingly view them as healthy alternatives to more traditional fare.
Gen-Y consumers in particular — and especially Millennial-aged mothers — are interested in products with "clean" labels and foods that lack certain additives and ingredients. This generation of shoppers equates "health" with simpler product formulations and Free-From claims.
"Overall, consumers perceive foods with any Free-From claim to be both healthier and less processed, thereby meeting two of the industry's largest trends head-on," Mintel said in a recent report on consumer preferences around Free-From foods.
The report found that for these younger shoppers — and for shoppers with children in the household in general — the elimination of chemically complex or unnatural ingredients was even more important than the addition of healthy ingredients.
The study found that 60% of Millennial consumers (age 18-38) agreed that they "worry quite a bit about harmful ingredients" in the food they buy. That rate decreases among older age groups. For the oldest consumers studied (age 70-plus) only 35% said they worry quite a bit about harmful ingredients in their foods. The rate was 55% for Generation X (age 39-50) and 46% for Baby Boomers (age 51-69).
Millennial moms were more concerned than Millennial dads, the research found.
When asked why they buy foods with Free-From claims, 50% of Millennial-aged mothers said they wanted to avoid unnecessary ingredients, vs. 30% of Millennial-aged fathers. Likewise, 45% of Millennial-aged mothers said they buy the products because they are healthier, vs. 37% of Millennial-aged fathers.
Brand favorites
Not only are Millennials gravitating toward these products, but they are also interested in promoting the ones they enjoy, retailers say.
"We find that Millennials are very specific about the brands and the products that they love, and they champion those products," said Rachel Shemirani, VP of marketing, at San Diego-based Barons Markets.
Barons is known for its curated selection of gluten-free offerings.
When it comes to selecting gluten-free products, Millennials tend to do extensive product research online, and then become devotees of the brands that meet their needs, Shemirani explained.
Following Millennial gluten-free enthusiasts on social media can help retailers stay on top of product trends, she said.
"They are the talking about the products they really want," she said.
Scott Owen, grocery merchandiser at PCC Natural Markets, Seattle, said that although the company doesn't track purchases according to consumer demographics, he agrees that younger consumers are more likely to speak about about their ingredient concerns.
"Younger shoppers do seem to be more vocal in their concerns about what is in their food, particularly specific ingredients, or — in the case of animal products — animal welfare concerns," he said.
Interest in GMO-free
The Mintel survey found that among all consumers, interest in products free from genetically modified organisms outweighed interested in all other Free-From claims, including soy, tree nuts and/or peanuts, and eggs.
Susan Viamari, VP of thought leadership at Chicago based research firm IRI, said she believes consumer interest in non-GMO products will be long-lasting.
"I think non-GMO is definitely going to have staying power in the marketplace," she said. "It's something we get a lot of questions about, and it's still very much a growing trend."
She described a "huge move" toward simpler ingredient lists overall in the CPG space.
"Consumers want to understand what they are eating, or what they are cleaning their house with," she said.
Speaking at Natural Products Expo East last fall, John Grubb, managing partner at Sterling Rice Group, said retailers have an opportunity to take more control over communicating a health message to consumers as manufacturers struggle to keep pace with these growing consumer demands.
"There's a real gap between what consumers are asking for and what is primarily in the center of the store," he said.
Grubb noted that Sterling Rice Group's research has found a shift toward more mainstream interest in Free-From foods.
"Things that used to be 'fringy' features of diet — such as gluten-free, free from allergens, and non-dairy milk — these are no longer bundles two standard deviations from the mean," he said. "Now you have mainstream consumers who are not necessarily the proactive health and wellness seekers who are consuming these products, in many cases as a treatment for a disease or a condition. So, that's a very significant change in that regard."
Grubb said he expects more activity in promoting these trends among retailers.
"I would expect retailers to take things into their own hands more and more," he said.

Playing golf and having sex are major life activities under the ADA
When Congress enacted the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendment Act, which went into effect on January 1, 2009, it indicated that one of its purposes was to "convey that the question of whether an individual's impairment is a disability under the ADA should not demand extensive analysis."
I vaguely recall some of the floor discussion in anticipation of the passage of the ADAAA:
"I yield to the Senator."
"Thank you, Senator. With all this discussion about amending the Americans with Disabilities Act to more broadly define the definition of disability, I wonder aloud whether we need to explicitly include playing golf and — err — making whoopie in that list of major life activities that includes with sleeping, walking, standing, lifting, and bending. I'm just sayin is all…"
(silence)
"Yeah, probably not necessary. I yield the floor…"
In this federal appellate decision issued late last month, that's basically what the court said.
A plaintiff sued his former employer alleging a violation of the ADA. The employer claimed that the plaintiff's back injury did not constitute a disability. Except, the plaintiff's physician submitted an affidavit, which stated that the the back issues impacted the plaintiff's ability to walk, bend, sleep, and lift more than ten pounds.
Noting that each of these activities is specifically enumerated in the list of ADA major life activities, the court had little trouble concluding that the plaintiff was, indeed, disabled.
But, then, there was that sex and golf thing. Although not specifically listed as major life activities, they're kind've a big deal:
"Second, although Mr. Mazzeo testified at his deposition that his back problems only affected his ability to play golf and have sex, the district court read that testimony too broadly. The questions that were posed to Mr. Mazzeo did not contain a specific time frame, making it unclear whether his answers referred to how he felt before his operation in March of 2009, or after his operation…We therefore do not think that Mr. Mazzeo's deposition testimony warranted summary judgment in favor of CRI."
The implication here is that if the plaintiff's pre-operation back trouble substantially limited his ability to [insert one of many golf double entrendres here], then he is disabled.
So, learn from this case. No, I'm not saying [insert one of many golf double entrendres here]. What I am saying; however, is that if an employee comes to you requesting an accommodation for a purported disability, don't expend a lot of brain cells contemplating whether the employee is disabled.
Instead, focus your energy on discussing with the employee what reasonable accommodation(s) will allow that employee to perform the essential functions of the job.
P.S. – If you're on LinkedIn, consider joining the discussion of news, trends and insights in employment law, HR, and workplace, by becoming a member of The Employer Handbook LinkedIn Group. It's practically a major life activity.*
*Not really. Actually, not at all.

In today's internet savvy world, some people think that going online for a policy is the way to go. But be careful, when you purchase your policy online without an agent, you may be missing out on some very important things. For example, when you get all that paperwork in the mail to sign and fill out, will you know what to do with it? Who will you talk to if you have questions? What happens when there is a claim, who will you call? Now you might be thinking, yeah but it costs more to have an agent. This is not true. You might be surprised to find that often getting rid of the insurance agent is not necessarily the cheapest option, and sometimes ends up costing you more, not only in price, but in quality and coverage.
1. An agent will be able to get you the most bang for your buck.
They are able to ensure you are getting all of the discounts you deserve. Without talking to a knowledgeable representative, you might miss out on valuable savings.
2. An agent is able to help you determine what coverage is best for you.
They can help you review your assets and determine if you have too much or too little coverage. They can tailor the policy to meet your needs and your budget. Most importantly, agents can offer you expert guidance through the insurance system. They know better than anyone what plans are available, and which of those plans will be a good fit for you.
3. An agent will help you through the application process.
An agent will make sure that everything is filled out correctly so you qualify for the best possible rates. Lets face it, insurance is complicated. That's why your agent goes to classes to learn the information they need to do their job. Why not let a professional help you through the process?
4. If you have a question or problem, you are able to talk to a local agent who can help you.
Every time you come to or call the office, you will be able to reach the same person. A local agent can deliver paperwork or meet with you easier than one who is over 30 miles away. There's no holding on the line with a 1-800# to get a different person than the one you talked to last time and explain your questions all over again.
5. If you have an accident, your agent is there to walk you through the process and get you the help that you need.
They will help you start the claim, and go over what things are covered and what are not, before you start the claim. This way you will go into the claim process with the knowledge you need to get the job done. Your agent will help you get your car back on the road and your life back to normal as soon as possible. Plus, should you have a problem during the claim process, your agent is there to fight for you to get the job done right.
The best part of working with an agent is the cost — it's free.
Agents get paid by the carriers they represent, not by you. So you can turn to them for advice, without getting billed by the hour. It isn't often that you can get free expert advice on something as complicated as buying insurance. So working with an agent isn't just a good idea — it makes good financial sense, too.
It is always advisable to consult with a reputed financial advisor before signing into any financial or insurance contract. This is important because experienced service providers know exactly what will be the best policy to choose related to your income protection insurance and other plans. This article is really an informative plan for those who are planning to hire a reputed insurance agent. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for helping me understand that an agent can help me determine the best coverage for me. That's what I really look for since I am not aware of the type of insurance which is appropriate for me. And one thing more, they'd be able to help me with the entire application process.

Q: Time reversal for Dirac particles in 2+1 or 6+1 (mod 8) spacetime dimensions It is my understanding that time reversal invariance for Dirac fermions is usually (in 3+1 dimensions at least) implemented by an antiunitary operator ${\mathfrak T}$ that acts on the Dirac field operators as
$$
{\mathfrak T}\psi(x,t){\mathfrak T}^{-1} = \eta_T {\mathcal T} \psi(x,-t).
$$
Here $\eta_T$ is a possible phase and ${\mathcal T}$ is a unitary matrix that obeys
$$
{\mathcal T}\gamma^\mu {\mathcal T}^{-1}= (\gamma^\mu)^T.
$$
The superscript $T$ denotes a transpose. Now a standard bit of gamma-matrix  theory shows that ${\mathcal T}$ exists and is antisymmetric in $D+1= 4,5,6$ (mod 8)  spacetime dimensions and exists and is symmetric in $D+1=0,1,2$ (mod 8) dimensions. There is no such matrix in $D+1=3$ or $7$ (mod 8) dimensions. So how should  we define time reversal in $D+1=3$ or $7$ (mod 8) dimensions?

A:  Interpretation of the question
Definitions are just definitions, of course. However, if we ask which transformations of the quantum fields are consistent with the equations of motion, then we have a powerful constraint that makes things interesting. It also makes things model-dependent, so to be specific, I'll consider a free Dirac spinor field in $D+1$ spacetime dimensions (so the equation of motion is the Dirac equation), and I'll interpret the question like this:

For $D+1=4n+3$, what symmetries does this model have that involve exchanging field operators at time $t$ with those at time $-t\,$?

 Answer
When $D+1=4n+3$, every time-reversing symmetry of the free Dirac spinor model involves at least one of these compromises:

*

*Reflect an odd number of spatial coordinates in addition to reflecting the time coordinate. (We might normally call these symmetries CPT or PT.) This is an option because CPT always exists, even though it isn't always a composition of C,P,T.

*Set the mass $m$ to zero. This works because it relaxes the condition shown in the OP to $\mathcal{T}\gamma^\mu\mathcal{T}^{-1}\propto (\gamma^\mu)^T$, so we can choose whichever sign admits a solution (as long as we use the same sign for all $\mu$).

*Allow the Dirac matrices to belong to a reducible representation of the Clifford algebra — that is, allow two or more irreducible Dirac spinor fields. This works because it allows us to borrow solutions from $D+1=4n+4$, just by discarding the extra Dirac matrix.
 Outline of the proof
The claim is that when $D+1=4n+3$ for any integer $n\geq 0$, the free Dirac spinor model does not admit any time-reversing symmetries unless we make one of the compromises listed above. Here's an outline of the proof. Definitions:

*

*Let C be any linear symmetry of the form $\psi(x)\to M_C\psi^*(x)$, where $M_C$ is a matrix.

*Let P be any linear symmetry of the form $\psi(x)\to M_P\psi(x_P)$, where $M_P$ is a matrix and $x_P$ is obtained from $x$ by reversing the sign of one spatial coordinate, say $x^1$.

*Let T be any antilinear symmetry of the form $\psi(x)\to M_T\psi(x_T)$, where $M_T$ is a matrix and $x_T$ is obtained from $x$ by reversing the sign of the time coordinate $x^0$.

*Let CPT be any antilinear symmetry of the form $\psi(x)\to M_{CPT}\psi^*(x_{PT})$, where the asterisk denotes the (componentwise) operator adjoint, $M_{CPT}$ is a matrix, and $x_{PT}$ is obtained from $x$ by reversing the sign of the time coordinate and of one spatial coordinate, say $x^1$.
Here's the proof:

*

*If C- and P- and T-type symmetries all exist, then their composition gives a CPT-type symmetry.

*A CPT-type symmetry exists for every $D+1$ and arbitrary mass $m$. This can be proven by explicit construction.

*A P-type symmetry (as defined above) does not exist when $D+1$ is odd and $m\neq 0$. Consistency with the Dirac equation when $m\neq 0$ requires that $M_P$ anticommute with $\gamma^1$ and commute with the other Dirac matrices, but in an irrep when $D+1$ is odd, $\gamma^1$ is proportional to the product of the other Dirac matrices, so such a symmetry cannot exist.

*A C-type symmetry does exist when $D+1=4n+3$ and $m\neq 0$. This can be proven by explicit construction.

*If a T-type symmetry did exist when $D+1=4n+3$ and $m\neq 0$, then we could compose it with C and CPT to get P, but no P-type symmetry exists in under these conditions (in an irrep), so a T-type symmetry also cannot exist under these conditions.
This proof works in either signature (mostly minus or mostly plus) and in any irrep, but the explicit expressions for $M_{CPT}$ and $M_C$ depend on which irrep is used, which is why I didn't show them here.
 A reference
I included an outline of the proof because I haven't found any clear and complete reference for this, but the following reference at least mentions that the mass term for a two-component Dirac spinor in $D+1=3$ is odd under both P and T as I defined them above, if the matrices $M_P$ and $M_T$ are chosen to leave the derivative-term invariant:

*

*Jackiw and Templeton (1981), "How super-renormalizable interactions cure their infrared divergences," Physical Review D 23:2291-2304, especially the sentence after equation (3.4).

A topic that has weighed on my mind recently is the dichotomy of frameworks vs. libraries in the Go community.
Is the prevailing stance against complex frameworks a rejection of this purported labour saving automation, or an enlightened position that has weighed the pro's and cons and found the costs of a framework based approached outweighs the benefits ?
A framework calls your code, you call library code.
If you want to call net/http a framework under that definition, go for it. You can win that argument, but don't let it fool you into thinking that this is the exception that proves the rule.
Frameworks, if they communicate with your code in simple terms are tone deaf. Unable to express the intent that they have been asked to pass on to you, they force you to glean meaning from their obscure requests via processes akin to psychic divination. Alternatively frameworks subject you to an increasingly bureaucratic interaction of call-backs, configuration settings, and rigid parameters.
By comparison, the best libraries are the ones with loose coupling, powered by the pervasive nature of Go's interface. These simple abstractions allow you to compose your own grammar specialised to the task at hand.
Writing programs is fundamentally about interpreting data. If you outsource that interpreter to someone else, you have artificially constrained the vocabulary with which to describe and interact with that data.
Given these two choices, I am happy to stand with the camp who desire simple composable types and packages.
This entry was posted in Go, Programming and tagged frameworks on October 26, 2014 by Dave Cheney.
When initialising a variable with a composite literal, Go requires that each line of the composite literal end with a comma, even the last line of your declaration. This is the result of the semicolon rule.
Although possibly an unintended consequence, this means that when proposing a one line change, it really is a one line change.
The semicolon rule, by enforcing that each line of a composite literal is terminated by a comma, ensures that your one line change doesn't include an edit to the previous line to add a comma.
It's the little things that make the difference.

We have been able to secure a venue for our December 15th meeting. We will meet at 7 PM at the Hollywood Senior Center located at 1820 NE 40th Ave. This will also be our venue should we need to postpone tomorrow's meeting to the Tuesday, December 20th date.
Due to continued weather concerns, we ask that you watch for our emails should we have another postponement. If we do we will send out another notice as soon as is possible and will go to the back up date of next Tuesday as mentioned above.
The only other point of information regarding our meeting is that we will forego the holiday party aspect, and just stick to the two agenda items, which include SCC alternate elections and PCP appointments. This way we can be most efficient in the face of continued concerns about transportation and weather.
Again, thank you so much for your continued patience and attention.


Last year we all got excited when Quiccs and Martian Toys were about to shake up scene with a couple of DIY vinyl figures ""ZERO1 X TEQ63" two designs looking to make the production line produced by Martian Toys The resin prototypes were shown at 2015 New York Comic Con at Martian Toys booth. Zero1 x TEQ63 prototypes already proving popular, customisers and collectors already asking when are they available. Today Quiccs upload box art for the TEQ63 and yes we know it's just the dam box but the artwork is sick! Plus it signals the vinyl production is nearly finished and ready for release.
The original design around 2 years ago and intended it to be for the MEGATEQ size 12 which we think it could be too big for an open platform. The refined designs will be smaller, standing at 6″.
The design itself has all the Quiccs iconic design and plenty of room to customise and even head swaps etc. We have a few schematics that show the versatility of the platforms.
Both prototypes are promising and to us they look finished. All we can do is sit back and wait for early 2017 to come around. We will bring you more updates as soon as possible.
What do you think of the platforms? leave a comment below.

Q: Determine SQL schema to DbSet object in EF6 I have code
const string schamaName = "schema";

public class Data: DbContext
{
    public DbSet<Offer> Offers {get;set;}
    public DbSet<Place> Places{get;set;}
}

public class Offer
{
    public int Id {get;set;}
    public string Name {get;set;}
    IEnumerable<Place> Places {get;set;}
}

public class Place
{
    public int Id {get;set;}
    public string Name {get;set;}
}

This code will generate me three tables one for Offer, one for Place and one for mapping between two previous tables.Now I get wanted structure, but in dbo schema. I want to put table Offer and mapping inside "offer" schema, third table in "dict" schema
How can I do this?

I use EF6.

I prefer to write some code inside OnCreatingModel method than use attibutes

A: I believe you should be including Offers as a virtual Collection<>, not a DbSet<>:
public class Data
{
    public int Id {get;set;}
    public string Name {get;set;}
    public virtual Collection<Offer> Offers {get; set;}
}

Also, if your schema is really "schema" instead of "dbo" then you'll need to decorate your class as follows:
[Table("Data", Schema="schema"]
public class Data
{
...

Or if you prefer OnModelCreating():
modelBuilder.Entity<Data>().ToTable("Data", "schema");

The Recruitment Lab
A cutting edge independent recruitment agency providing employers with temporary and permanent recruitment solutions.
A Moment With…Dan Oldfield (Brighton Branch Manager)
What's your favourite office snack?
I try and keep breakfast and lunch as healthy as possible in the office considering it's not as active a job as, say, playing right wing for Manchester United. But, having said that, I'm particularly partial to a bit of an overlooked snack: Snyder's of Hanover's Jalapeno Pretzel Pieces. Something to look for next time you're out shopping, you can find them in larger supermarkets amongst the imported products (they're an American favourite.)
What's your favourite movie?
I'm a self-confessed film buff and it's my biggest passion alongside music. I owe a lot of that interest to the work of Quentin Tarantino who was the Director I devoted a lot of time to studying during my school years. As such, I don't think Pulp Fiction will ever be topped as my favourite film.
Friday afternoon celebratory beverage?
A cold, crisp Brewdog at the end of a successful week is what Fridays are all about.
Desk trinkets?
I've been deliberately keeping a large section of my desk clear in order to house what will soon become my most treasured possession: The Recruitment Lab's Fantasy Premier League winner's trophy.
Best book you've read?
This is a tough one. My favourite book in terms of the impact it had on me as a writer (I'm a Journalism Graduate) and that intrinsic feeling that 'this was written with me in mind' is Nick Hornby's High Fidelity, a feeling I'm sure is shared with many others who've read it. However, the 'best' book I've read in terms of form, language and timelessness is probably a toss-up between F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest (finishing that certainly felt like a life achievement!) and And The Ass Saw The Angel by Nick Cave, a Brighton icon and personal hero of mine.
How did you get to your current position?
As aforementioned, I'm a Journalism Graduate and run a film blog and Instagram in my own time: The Brighton Film Club (https://www.instagram.com/thebrightonfilmclub) however I feel those skills fit into a Recruitment environment very well. I have 6 years' experience in the sector working my way up from Resourcer level. To be honest, there's not a huge amount of difference between working as a Resourcer and as a Manager in a busy, local agency because, from the clock hitting 9:00am you're pulled along on a rollercoaster that could rival Space Mountain in speed. It takes a decent memory (mine's called my diary) and a lot of coffee (big doff of the cap to coffee here) to get you through.
What advice would you give to a younger 'you' starting out in your career?
My advice to any jobseekers is the same to be honest, and I was lucky enough to have followed it myself post-university which has got me to where I am today. It really is as simple as being the most enthusiastic person in the room. Answer your phone every time it rings, respond to every email, arrive at every appointment and interview regardless of when it is. I remember making 2½ hour round trips for ten-minute recruitment sign ups, before starting my other role at the time. You've just got to give yourself the best possible chance because if you don't, someone else will.
Dream job if skill, history and talent were not factors?
Well, it would be pretty cool to wake up as Michael Eavis in 1970 and realising that you had the land available to host the most famous festival in the world or to wake up as James May and get whisked along on boys-own adventures dicking about for years on end. Keeping in my own body though, my lack of creative music ability means I would love to own a self-sustaining record label or host a new music based radio show.
Radio station choice in the office?
We tend to keep to Radio 1 in the office, it gives me my new music fix and dosage of humor and works well in the background. Something like 6Music or NME Radio would play so much new stuff that I've not come across, I wouldn't get anything else done!
Favourite part of the recruitment process?
Of course, there's immense satisfaction in giving a candidate the news that their hard work has paid off and they've been given a job offer, that's what we're here for after all. However, for me the first conversation I have with a candidate is my favourite part of the process. I like hearing people's stories, putting the pieces of the puzzle into place of how we can help them in their journey and I find you learn the most about a candidate during that first call or consultation.
What football team do you support?
My Mum's a big football fan, and like many Mums she's also a David Beckham fan. These two influences combined to give me a lifelong obsession with Manchester United which I certainly can't complain about given the success I've seen us have throughout the Ferguson era. Of course, I can't say the same of the post-Fergie years, but it looks like we're moving into an exciting phase under Solskjaer. As my love for football as a whole has developed, and my knowledge has deepened, I take joy from watching many teams and, having been a Brighton resident for so long, regularly take a trip to the AMEX to watch the Albion so I would certainly say I support Brighton as well (as much as this may irk some people who say you can't have two teams!)

Learning Inside and Between Networks: How Network Perspective Determines Research Topics and Methods
Ulrike Cress
Part of the Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning Series book series (CULS, volume 17)
This chapter provides a reflection about the relation between networks, learning, and society. What does it mean if we consequently consider learning under a network approach and if we are aware that not just people constitute networks, but also knowledge artifacts and other informational resources are parts of networks. The chapter shows that schools and universities are themselves networks. They organize learning but they, at the same time, co-exist (and sometimes compete) with many other informal learning networks. Schooling, informational environments, and society cannot be treated as separate entities. Schools and universities cannot be conceptualized as closed systems. They have to be related to each other. The chapter shows – with regard to each of the 12 preceding book chapters – how this network perspective opens the learning sciences for new research topics, asks for new design requirements, and requests to expand our research methods.

Raewyn Connell (1944), born Robert William Connell, is the most influential Australian sociologist. Her research fields go from large-scale class dynamics, poverty and education, sociology of knowledge, sexuality and AIDS prevention to social change and gender relations. Her book "Masculinities" (1995) was one of the founders of this research field. She is currently university professor at the University of Sydney.
In the ILGA Trans Secretariat's web page it's written that it's a paradox that the most important intellectual of masculinity is now a woman. First of all do you feel you are a woman?
No, I don't feel I'm a woman. I know it. I don't think that's very different from the kind of knowledge other women have (and men too, about being men). For transsexual women, of course, the knowledge has definite complexities; yet there are gender complexities at some level in almost everyone's life.
Do you feel you are a man?
For large parts of my life I tried to live as a man, but always with the underlying contradiction. That is the situation many transsexual women find themselves in. There is no simple resolution of that contradiction, and no outcome without serious costs – including costs to other people in our lives. It's not a glamorous situation and should not be romanticised.
Do you think it is necessary to belong either to one gender or the other?
No, it is not necessary for everyone to be subjectively either a man or a woman. There are some people who try consistently to live without gender commitments. For instance, they live in de-gendered households, have emotional or sexual relations not determined by gender, present themselves with a mixture of gender symbolism, and demand that the state not classify them in gender terms. This is a brave project and these people have my admiration. But their project is incredibly difficult, because gender is a massive social reality, embedded in institutions as well as personal life. For the great majority of people, having a definite place in the gender order is a routine condition of life, a ground of everyday action.
