Why meaning is the key to employee experience - and customer satisfaction
The human need for meaning should guide decisions that impact the employee experience, explains Dr Kaveh Abhari, assistant professor of information systems at San Diego State University.
When I was studying customer experience management systems back in 2007, I noticed that in order to deliver exceptional customer experiences, many leading brands invest more in their employees than in anything else. This confirmed that managing the employee experience is a cornerstone of customer experience initiatives.
Even more surprising, however, has been the discovery that the relationship between the employee and customer experience is not a one-way street: a positive customer experience also leads to positive employee experience across the organisation.
The reason behind this mutual reinforcement, my research suggests, is meaning. If an employee can see that they are providing a positive experience for their customers, it gives meaning to their work. And meaning is the key to an engaging employee experience.
Why is this? Organisational psychologists have shown that employees at all levels are looking for meaning in their work, more so than external rewards. Recent studies have also revealed that meaning drives performance: it is the personal meaning of work that inspires an employee to go above and beyond expectations, not the rewards or praise they receive.
So how can companies use this insight to create an engaging employee experience, and what role does technology play? I have identified three dimensions of the employee experience and ways to manage them—all of which click the meaning of work.
Three dimensions of employee experience management
First, most employees, especially the younger generation, aspire to be proud of the company they are working for and want to make an impact on the world. They are eager to know about the values the company is creating, the problems it is solving and the purpose it is serving. In large organisations, technologies such as enterprise social networks can help communicate brand values and highlight the role that each employee plays in realising them.
Second, the way a company encourages its employees to work also contributes to the meaning they experience. Employees are looking for a working style in which they are empowered and encouraged to make decisions, participate in dynamic work environments, take on challenging projects, experiment with various self-development opportunities and learn new ways to contribute. Unlike one-size-fits-all employee engagement programmes, the creation of an engaging work style requires the active participation of all employees in reinventing business processes, and personalising the work experience in order to make it cognitively, emotionally and socially meaningful and engaging.
Again, technology can help by monitoring employees' experiential needs, designing more engaging work routines, enhancing productivity and visibility, and supporting internal experiments to personalise work processes.
Third, an engaging employee experience offers opportunities for value co-creation. This includes contributing to process improvement, new product development, decision-making, brand communications and even hiring and training. In this environment, employees take the ownership of their work results, which is not defined by their title but by their contributions to the organisation and ultimately to customers.
One prominent example of this value co-creation is open innovation, by which companies open their R&D departments to internal and external actors to participate in new product or service development. Again, technologies such as collaboration platforms have a role in creating this kind of meaningful and engaging experience at work.
In the past, businesses benefited from a shift from product-centric to customer-centric strategies. In the future, they would benefit from strategies focused on their employees and the meaning of their work. However, this paradigm shift will not result in significant outcomes unless it is supported by new technologies. Employee experience management (EEM) should therefore be one of the focuses of any digital transformation initiative.

Morocco – Flash flooding in Morocco has claimed the lives of at least 32 people. At least 24 people have died in the southern city of Guelmim, including 11 bodies that have been recovered from the Oued Talmaadart. More than 200 people, including two French nationals, have been evacuated by air force helicopters. The flash flooding has mostly affected the Guelmim, Agadir, Tiznite, Ouarzazate and Marrakesh regions.
China – Two drivers have been killed in a landslide that hit a freight train in Ankang City, in northwest China's Shaanxi Province on Monday afternoon. The landslide occurred at around 3 p.m on the Xunyang-Zongxi section of the railway, which runs from central China's Hubei Province to southwest China's Chongqing Municipality. Eight carriages of the freight train came off the track.
South Africa – A massive tornado roared across a field near Dundee, South Africa, over the weekend. There were no injuries reported but more than 20 houses were caught in the tornado's path. More tornadoes occur in South Africa than any other nation in Africa. South Africa is often hit by violent thunderstorms during the summer months of November through February, and these storms sometimes produce devastating hailstorms and tornadoes.

Bird Flu Outbreak in India
The Indian government has issued a Statewide alert following the confirmation of an outbreak of avian flu (bird flu) in two districts.
The H5 Avian Influenza virus had been confirmed in samples sent to the High Security Animal Disease (HSAD) Laboratory, Bhopal. The strain spreads between birds and can potentially affect humans.
A red alert has been issued in Kottayam and Alappuzha districts where the disease outbreak was noticed in ducks. Four panchayats, Aimanam, Purakkad, Kumarakom, and Thalavadi have been affected.
Affected birds would be culled from Tuesday to prevent the spread of the disease. Farmers would be compensated after assessing the extent of loss. Directions had been issued to restrict the transportation of ducks and eggs from Alappuzha to other districts.
ogo (Cape Verde): The recent eruption of the Pico do Fogo continues to produce lava fountains from two vents on the volcano's flank. The erupted lava collects in rapidly growing flows that destroy roads and houses near the caldera, as shown in the new BBC footage below. Fortunately, this new eruption has not yet made any casualties, but many locals are forced to abandon there homes and move to houses constructed for the refugees of the 1995 eruption or to newly constructed temporary shelter. A large ash plume can be seen from Praia, the capital of Cape Verde on one of the neighbouring islands. The eruption also caused the closure of the local airport.
Zhupanovsky (Kamchatka, Russia): A strong explosion occurred at 00:15 UTC at the volcano. A plume rose to approx. 27,000 ft (8 km) altitude.
Aso (Kyushu): A small explosion or ash emission was reported from the volcano at 03:00 UTC (noon local time in Japan) via VAAC Tokyo. Cloud cover prevented visual observations on webcams.

The idea that we can receive one final message from dead loved ones is appealing to us as humans, and is interestingly played upon through flashbacks interspersed throughout the narrative, demonstrating how the past may come back to haunt you.
Sheehan is at his best when seemingly losing his mind, whereas the grumpy "I hate the world" act doesn't work without the charm that made him so likable in Misfits. Lily Cole is wooden as the concerned sister, and although the main dilemma of the film – can Jack actually speak to the dead? – is an interesting one, the execution wears thin.
Robert Sheehan has some good moments, and his flashbacks are the most interesting thing, but a directionless narrative lets The Messenger down.
SYNOPSIS: A young man with an ability to pass messages from the recently deceased to their loved ones finds himself caught up in a high-profile killing, and is forced to battle with his doubters as well as, increasingly, his own mind.

Exposing political and moral agendas in movies
Suggestions / Request
David & Fatima (2008): Love and Jihad
October 5, 2018 by Howard M. Riell
There are movies whose agendas push a political viewpoint. Then there are those that result in ruining lives and getting innocent people killed.
David & Fatima manages to be both.
The decade-old film, directed by Alain Zaloum and starring unknowns Cameron Van Hoy and Danielle Pollack as well as established Hollywood stars Martin Landau and Tony Curtis, was touted as encouraging Arab/Israeli peace. But like a spate of other movies just like it, it likely accomplishes exactly the opposite, encouraging Jews to not only toss their religious convictions in the name of some Hallmark Card-inspired spiritual euphoria, but to let down their guard against a implacable enemy whose own most cherished religious convictions include waging war against the entire planet until Allah reigns supreme, and murdering people they claim are descended from apes and pigs.
The film presents us with a Palestinian Muslim woman and an Israeli man from Jerusalem who fall in love (sigh). The intolerant parents disapprove, but (lingering sigh) they elope anyway. Landau is an elderly rabbi who has lost his faith (like seemingly every Jew in Hollywood, where this mess was perpetrated) and agrees to perform the forbidden marriage because hey, after all, c'mon, kids in love (really long, lingering… sigh).
Agenda #1: Judaism is antiquated and wears off after a while, and its tenets are to be discarded once the hormones kick in.
Agenda #2: Right and wrong are subjective; after all, we hate them just like they hate us, right?
Agenda #3: Love conquers all, including 14 centuries (that's how old Islam is) of persecution, degradation, murder, terrorism and all-around jihad.
Uh… no.
Judaism's tenets are not to be discarded. Right and wrong are not subjective, no matter how many innocent people the hooded Antifa thugs beat up in the name of opposing fascism; and what conquers all is, all too often, hideous violence, not love. If Jews hate Muslims, it's only because Muslims have been killing Jews since the 7th century. On the other hand, Muslims hate Jews because they are Jews.
How about some real-life Jewish-Muslim love stories from Israeli news site Arutz Sheva:
"Learn and Return, an organization that works to prevent Jewish women and girls from getting trapped in abusive relationships with Arab men, has uncovered the shocking truth of an epidemic of young Jewish girls being forced into drug use and prostitution by older Arab men.
"Mishmar Ezrachi, of Beersheva in southern Israel, reported to Learn and Return's rescue counselor how numerous Jewish girls from the area had been lured into relationships with Bedouin Arabs through gifts and kindness, and willingly follow their suitors to their village. But once there, the girls were forced to take drugs and turned into addicts. Then they are forced prostitute themselves in order to earn money to support their habit.
"Beersheva, Dimona, Ofakim and Sderot have a lot of poor families," says Shlomo Cohen, a rescue worker for Learn and Return. "Poverty makes young girls vulnerable to the overtures of older Arab men looking to seduce them and force them into drugs and a lifetime of abuse and prostitution. We are talking about hundreds of young girls, many underage, who are now trapped. They may have been tricked into going willingly at first, but they are not there willingly now – they are addicted to drugs and need help to get out."
"Since the girls went willingly, the government doesn't intervene. "They are aware of the problem, but there is no place to put these girls, especially after they bear children," Cohen says. "Someone has to do something. The girls are terribly abused both physically and emotionally, and live like dogs picking up scraps of food."
"The organization estimates that more than 20,000 Jewish girls are currently trapped in Arab villages under similar circumstances. The numbers rise daily, they say."

METIER3 was approached by Strandbags to create a new retail/shop fit out design.
The new design created a stronger delineation between product lines; more approachable display units; reduced clutter; tied the company's graphic presentation to the store; and rebranded the retail offering.
The design response created a lighter, more ordered space and a more contemporary retail experience. Individual store performance improved significantly following the upgrade to the new standard.


6% of buyers would not purchase at all.
20% would purchase a lower-priced home.
20% of buyers would purchase with more urgency, in fear of rates continuing to rise.
25% of buyers would slow their plans to buy a home.
29% would likely see little to no impact on sales, especially to affluent buyers who currently own their home.
56% would likely experience a 1%–10% decline in sales volumes, which is not significant enough to cause them to drop prices.
15% would experience a decline in sales of 10% or more, especially to entry-level buyers struggling to qualify.
This thinking falls in line with our 4-5-6 rule, where one of the 4 disruptors (this time the economic disruption of rising mortgage rates) impacts each of the 5 life stages differently, which helps us answer several of the 6 key questions: who will be buying, what will they buy, when will they buy, and where will they buy. Rising mortgage rates do not impact everyone the same.

Description/Standards Tabs
by Christine Jiang. Jiang is a student in the South Carolina Honors College at USC. This paper was written for the Fall 2011 class "Folklife in America."
Between 1917 and 1919, China had the biggest developments to its entirety. In these years, the "Fourth of May Movement" led by students at the National Peking University became iconic. The movement was politically important because it was the first student led rebellion against an oppressive government that did not accurately represent the values and views of the Chinese people (Eberhard 3). The purpose of the movement was to rebuild Chinese culture and society. Aspects of the movement had emphasis on emancipation of the individual and national independence as well (May). In the late nineteenth century, the Chinese had begun translating some works of Western literature. They were mostly books of technical and scientific nature, but translations of literary works had begun to expand too. The movement to add translations of Western literary works expanded the intellectual horizon for the Chinese. Before this, Chinese writers did not detail the world their heroes defended.
They had never tried to describe men as individuals, possessed and often torn by contradictory traits of character, nor had they sought to depict their actions, even the most trivial and unimportant ones, in every detail, or ventured to describe sex as it really was. (Eberhard 3) Literature in China was very censored, due to government imposed restrictions on expression. Many different styles were being developed, but they were only assessable to the scholars. There was a lot of disconnect between the scholars and the commoners – "the traditional writer made use of a literary style which is incomprehensible to the common man" (Eberhard 3). The translation of European works into Chinese was hard due to the colloquial terms and idioms. Once translated to Chinese, the phrasing does not work. This lead to a sort of "literary revolution." Hu Shih studied abroad, and he and his friends tried to show the Chinese using popular language for literature was not a new concept or un-Chinese. Hu published the History of Literature in Colloquial Language, which compiled early Chinese literature, written very stylistically, in colloquial terms (Eberhard 4). Groups that represented this 'translation' were considered to be liberal nationalists (Eberhard 5). On the other hand, there was a group that supported the claim that in order to formulate literature the commoners could understand was to go out and study their language. The first leaders of this group were Lu Hsun and Ku Cheh-kang and located at the National Peking University. The students at the university set out to collect folksongs. The collection of folktales came later – there are few tales that document the exact words in the original form. Authors modified folktales to make them more 'beautiful' so the original forms were hard to discern. Collectors in the 1920s were primarily interested in folktales, sagas, legends, and anecdotes (Eberhard 5). This group was similar to the Europeans in that "they believed that tales, legends, and sagas contained survivals of China's oldest traditions. They thought they could compare the works they gathered in the field with classical literature to see how the literary scholars at the time distorted and falsified folk traditions. Under the leadership of Ku Chieh-kang, the group concluded most reports of early history were legends and tales, with some basis in what actually happened (Eberhard 6). Folklore became a tool for channeling liberal nationalism in Europe, but this idea never reached China. Chiang, the Chairman of the Nationalist Government of China at the time, did not support folklore studies. He related to the rational, liberal, and evolutionary ideas Western thought embodied. "He regarded the study of folk traditions and tales as dangerous because he thought that this would lead to a destruction of the traditional and glorious history of China" (Eberhard 7). In the early 1900s, prominent Chinese folklorists did not know of Western theories or methods. It was not until the late 1920s that works about a general introduction to folklore were translated into Chinese – such works included The Handbook of Folklore by Charlotte Burne and Le Folklore by Arnold van Gennep. The state of disconnect is not any better today – the works of modern Western folklorists still remains completely unknown (Eberhard 7).
Popular Festivals
Chinese New Year is one of the most important festivals, both economically and socially, in China. This festival is traditionally celebrated to honor the gods and ancestors, but now, for the younger generations, it has morphed from a time of honor to a time of relaxation. This holiday was documented to have been observed since at least 14th century B.C. (Chinese). Chinese New Year is based on the ancient Chinese calendar, which "functioned as a religious, dynastic and social guide" (Chinese). The Chinese calendar had a dynamic structure that changed depending on the reigning emperor, and it was based on the lunar phases, solar solstices, solar equinoxes, and yin and yang. As modern culture depicts with the black and white pendants, yin and yang are "the opposing but complementary principles that make up a harmonious world" (Chinese). Yin and yang had an impact not only on the calendar, but also on the 12 signs of the Chinese zodiac. The 12 signs are "the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog[,] and pig" (Chinese). The style of celebration of Chinese New Year has morphed since it first started, as many traditions do. Traditions grow to adapt to the celebrator's lifestyles and the advent of new technology. The tradition Chinese New Year begins in the middle of the 12th month and ends around the middle of the first month, with the waxing full moon. During the celebration, all activities members normally engage in are put to a stop, and the focus during the time is centered on the family and the home – business life nearly comes to a stop. In preparation for the festivities, houses are completely cleaned in hopes of ridding the home of "'huiqi,' or inauspicious breaths, which might have collected during the old year" (Chinese). A majority of the rituals done during this period are meant to bring good luck. The cleaning is also done to appease the gods, who come down and make inspections. Paper icons and sacrifices of food are also presented to the ancestors and gods.
The most important aspect of the traditional celebration of Chinese New Year is the feasting. Members of the extended family would all gather for a meal. The last course of the meal, which was not eaten, included a fish dish to symbolize the abundance of the household. During the first five days of celebration, long noodles are eaten. The length of the noodles symbolized the longevity of the consumer (Chinese). This tradition is now sometimes used on birthdays, especially of the elderly, as well. Round dumplings, shaped like the full moon, are made and eaten together on the last day of Chinese New Year – they are "shared as a sign of the family unit and of perfection" (Chinese).
With the adoption of the Western calendar (the Georgian calendar) by the general population in 1912, the Chinese started to celebrate New Year's Day on the first of January. Chinese New Year is still observed, but the celebration is shorted, and it was given a new name – the Spring Festival. The Jesuit missionaries brought the Georgian calendar into China in 1582. In 1949, under Mao Zedong, the leader of the Chinese Communist Party, the government forbade the celebration of Chinese New Year. However, by the 20th century, the government loosened up and accepted the Chinese tradition. "In 1996, China instituted a weeklong vacation during the holiday – now called Spring Festival – giving people the opportunity to travel home and celebrate the new year" (Chinese).
The color red is prominent during the festivities. "Red symbolizes fire, which according to legend can drive away bad luck" (Chinese New Year: 2012). This belief is still held true in modern China. Many people wear braided necklaces made from red thread for luck. Elders also pass red envelopes with money to the children – "lucky money" (Chinese New Year: 2012). The firecrackers, originating from the belief that the crackling would scare off the evil spirits, that are set off are also red in color.
Modern twists that utilize technology include the CCTV New Year's Gala (中国中央电视台春节联欢晚会): "an annual variety show featuring traditional and contemporary singers, dancers and magic demonstrations" (Chinese). The celebration of this holiday has mostly lost its religious background, but it is still utilized to bring members of the family together to enjoy a meal and time together. The year of 2012 is the Year of the Dragon (Chinese New Year: 2012).
The way my family observes this tradition has changed throughout the years. Before the birth of my younger brother, my family and I were part of the Chinese Association in Florence. Every year, a different household would hold a party to celebrate every Chinese New Year. All the attendees would bring a dish or a bottle of wine as their contribution. The adults sang karaoke, watched the CCTV New Year's Gala, and played poker. As I got older, my brother was born, and the Chinese population in Florence grew. We moved the celebrations to a public vendor, and the children were all asked to perform something.
Chang'e is the "Chinese moon goddess whose loveliness is celebrated in poems and novels" (Chang'e). The story behind the goddess is she had stolen the drug of immortality given to her husband, Hou Yi. When he set out to find her, she found protection from him in the moon. This myth is also used to explain rabbit in the moon – which is formed from the shape the craters make. On the 15th day of the eighth month, in accordance with the lunar calendar, the Chinese honor her memory.
The Chinese Dragon Boat Festival
This occasion is celebrated in honor of Chu Yuan, a patriotic poet. The poet drowned in 277 B.C., on the fifth day of the fifth month (by the lunar calendar). Observers of this holiday now throw out rice filled bamboo leaves, tzungtzu, so the fish would eat that instead of the remains of the poet. Boat races occur during this celebration – which originated from the attempt to rescue the poet. Today, this holiday is celebrated as protection against disease and evil for the rest of the year (Fang).
Western Impact in Beijing
I spent this past summer in Beijing, visiting my relatives and the city. The last time I visited was when I was in 5th grade. The contrast in how much the city changed in eight years was shocking – the city itself is cleaner, and the general atmosphere is friendlier. The culture of the city was also different. The Western impact on modern Chinese culture is also very evident. Large shopping malls all have popular stores found in the US and Europe, such as Coach, H&M, Louis Vuitton, Prada, and North Face. The complex at Wang Fui Jing, also called the Oriental Plaza, integrates the popular Western stores with traditional shops tailored towards the tastes of tourists. This shows how the traditional ways change to adapt to what is currently demanded.
Jing Tai Lan
Jing tai lan, the Chinese form of cloisonné, was first definitively recorded to have been used under the rule of Ming Xuande (1426 – 1435). However, this technique may have been introduced under the Mongol rule, and there are a few items that date "to the Yongle reign (1403 – 1443) of the early Ming dynasty" (Chinese Cloisonné). Jing tai lan styled ornaments are created using a base of some sort (pottery, beading, candle-holders, etc.), colored glass paste, and metal wiring. Shapes are made from the metal wires and the colored glass paste is used to fill in the outlines made by the wires. These objects were primarily used as decorations for palaces and temples, for their ornate designs added to the atmosphere (Chinese Cloisonné). These objects are a good example of how cultural relics change over time to ensure longevity. In the beginning, jing tai lan ornaments were made for the royalty to display in palaces and temples. Now, the makers cater to the tourists and younger generation. There are jin tai lan style beads put onto cell phone charms and hair clips.
Myths and Folktales
When I was younger, between the ages of 5 and 10, I was super interested in camping. My parents, however, thought that camping in the great outdoors would be dangerous, so they set up a tent in the screened porch. Before bedtime, my dad would come in and tell me stories he read or heard about from his youth. This pertains to the aesthetic of the performance. Though many of these tales were not passed down orally through many generations, it still has a folk aspect due to the setting and performance. There was also definite variation between the original tales and the ones my father told me. He changed up the settings of the stories to it more applicable in my life. Many of the stories my father told me came from the famous novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
My father grew up in the countryside of China, where there was little electricity and everyone in the village spent a lot of time together. He heard many tales from the members of the village, and from his mom and dad – my grandmother and grandfather. He says:
During the summer time, we begged the older folks to tell us stories. These stories came from their parents, who heard it from their parents or read it from popular fictional novels. Also, during the winter time, we didn't have anywhere to go because it was so cold outside. Then was a good time for storytelling.
The importance of face-to-face interactions can be seen here. Since there was little to do then, the people spent more time together learning about their culture and hearing stories. Now, children spend most of their time on the Internet. The composition of myths started in the Wei and Jin Dynasties (220-420) with inspiration rooted in the fundamentals ideals of Taoism and Buddhism (Owens). The stories written at this time were focused around supernatural elements, such as ghosts, and gods. The writing of myths continued throughout history. The most well-known works of fiction, such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, Pilgrimage to the West, The Scholars, and Dreaming of the Red Mansion, were written in Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The Chinese myths, in accordance with myths of other countries, are intertwined with historical events. The history from the time "before recorded history began is partly based on legend, which is interwoven with mythology" (Owens). Chinese myths, like Western myths, also detail the story of Creation, the importance of self-sacrifice and love, and warn the reader against the evils of sin and rebellion. Chinese myths differ from Western myths in that they also discuss topics such as reincarnation and fatalism (Owens).

Cowboy Ethics: What Business Leaders Can Learn from the Code of the West Hardcover – March 3, 2015
James P. Owen (Author)
› Visit Amazon's James P. Owen Page
Frustrated by an epidemic of misbehavior, corporate management teams are going back to the idea that personal character and individual responsibility are the ultimate keys to integrity business—just as they were back in the days of the Open Range.
When first published, Cowboy Ethics inspired businesspeople to look to the Code of the West. Once they did, they discovered that its simple, common-sense principles can be more effective guides to business leadership than a truckload of corporate mission statements, rules, and ethics manuals.
"Cowboys are role models because they live by a code," says author James P. Owen. "They show us what it means to stand for something, and to strive every day to make your actions line up with your beliefs. And isn't that as good a definition of integrity as you can find?"
In the years since, the book's first publication "Ten Principles to Live By" have been embraced by scores of companies, universities, and even a state government. This updated Anniversary hardcover edition traces the evolution of this grassroots business movement in brand-new chapters while preserving the inspirational lessons and stunning photography of the original.
A new introduction traces the rise of the Cowboy Ethics movement, while a new epilogue discusses how to live by the code. It's ideal for corporate gifts, the new graduate, business students, or any career person who cares about doing the right thing.

After a successful 35-year Wall Street career, James P. Owen found new purpose in being an author, inspirational speaker, and social entrepreneur. His book, "Cowboy Ethics," a best-seller with more than 150,000 copies in circulation, and two follow-up volumes, "Cowboy Values" and "The Try," shine a light on the importance of shared values and personal character in our society.
Now Jim is propelled by a new mission: showing older adults how to get and stay in shape. His latest book, "Just Move! A New Approach to Fitness after 50" (National Geographic), was inspired by his personal journey of transformation. As a 70-year-old "couch potato," Jim resolved to do whatever it took to become fit and ease his chronic back pain. Seven years later, he is in better shape than he was in his twenties, and has become a passionate evangelist for fitness as a way of life. In his speaking engagements, he reminds audiences that being in shape helps older adults stay mobile, active, and independent, enabling a quality of life no amount of money can buy. Jim lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife, Stanya.

5.0 out of 5 stars Values and Purpose From the Code
I am sorry that I did not find this book sooner. I've read plenty of leadership and personal development books, but this one shines from its simplicity and clarity. Much of it was like sitting at the table when I was young. Unfortunately, many of those lessons got lost as I grew and the world changed. This was a powerful call, not to go backwards, but to move forward with strength and insight from the past, building upon solid character and purpose. It is time for me to revive the code in my life!

5.0 out of 5 stars Often quoted, rarely lived up to.
I moved to the west in 2006. It took us 4 years to get out of the city and find the west, it's values and ethics still exist out here. This book reflects the ethics of our neighbors and is the reason we have decided to live here permanently. Mr. Owen did a great job in capturing the essence of the Cowboy's code and explains how the rest of the county could benefit by putting these ethics into one's personal lives.
3.0 out of 5 stars code of the west
I have liked Cowboy Ethics from the very first edition. I have given numerous copies to my friends.
As good as the last edition is, it does not have the great stories that was in the first edition. Keep the original
stories and keep on going. Love the code of the West. It would work for anyone.

With all these features, it seems quite impossible that it is not long people didn't have any concept of the color blue.

Lapis Lazuli is the stone that have their presence for a long time now. The credit of emergence of the concept of blue color goes to this stone. In ancient times, people used this crystal to create dye of blue color which was uncommon at that time. But still using blue color dye was a matter of rich and wealthy people as everyone couldn't afford the color made from semi-precious stone. Since, then the crystal holds a special importance in gemstones.
The mesmerizing deep royal blue hues of the crystal are enough to create eye-capturing Lapis Lazuli Jewelry. The clear, noble, and calming is what is blue. Although, the impact of a color largely depends on the intensity of the shade and represents a different meaning.
If you are among those who loves bold appearance in their crystals and accessories, then this stone will definitely help you with encompassing the true definition of beauty. The natural beauty of this gem reminds us of the galaxy full of stars with sparkling shine all over its surface. Looking for something extraordinary to fit with your collection?

A huge congratulations to Sean Homer for winning his third Kent Open, tying the tournament record at nine under in the process. It was a good day for the Kent club with Andy Exall and Adam Kelly filling the podium. A big thank you to Emily and Helen Dodd for their help today.
The Wasps can reflect on a tournament which could have been better, but we enjoyed the dry weather at least. Steve was two shots off the lead going into the final round before falling to a tie for 6th. Also in the tie for 18th were Andy and Paul, all valuable experience around this tricky. And Quinn did very well coming home in 35th place on his debut.
The next event is in three weeks time at the Star City Open in Birmingham.

Aberdare (Rhondda Cynon Taff, Wales) Full Freeview transmitter
Tuesday 4 March 2014 3:58PM
Paul: Sorry, I think the answer is 'never'. The only Welsh sites listed in Arqiva's Reference Offer were Wenvoe and Moel-Y-Parc. Aberdare is only predicted to cover around 24,000 homes, so I'm afraid you're not a priority for Arqiva (BBC Four HD is carried on a commercial multiplex).
Digital UK's Coverage Checker suggests that you might be able to get a service from Mendip when it launches later in 2014 (possibly August, going by Arqiva's reference offer, could even be earlier), but I expect you'd need a separate aerial since it is 20 degrees east of Aberdare, and uses horizontal rather than vertical polarization.
If the Licence Fee is frozen for 5 more years how could the BBC
Sunday 9 March 2014 10:42AM
Rob: I can't see any announcement of that on the BBC website, and I'd be very surprised.
What I can see is a story that the government are considering reclassifying the offences for non-payment from a criminal to a civil matter: BBC News - TV licence fee non-payment 'could be decriminalised'
At present the licence fee is basically treated as a tax. Non-payment is met with a fine of up to £1000 (that fine goes to the government, not the BBC), at the magistrates' discretion. If you can't pay in one go, they have the power to subtract the fine from your pay, if you tell them how much you earn. Persistent non-payment of the fines can land you in jail if you don't work out a payment plan. Some people take the jail time on point of principle, but in fact there are many, many chances to avoid that.
Changing it to a civil offence would mean that the BBC would have to apply for court orders and bailiffs for non-payment. If a non-payer is truly unable to pay, they would need to use some form of insolvency arrangement - bankruptcy, Debt Relief Order, Individual Voluntary Arrangement - meaning the BBC would only get a portion of the money owed, if anything at all. This is likely to increase the costs of collecting the licence fee, effectively reducing the money available to produce and distribute programmes. It would still be a stick for the BBC's opponents to beat them with ('BBC forces x people a year into bankruptcy', 'BBC bailiffs seize property from x people', etc.).

Friday 28 March 2014 11:45AM
Council tax is *not* backed by criminal sanction. This is actually a major flaw - councils largely cannot recover all the money owed by non-payers - and should, in my opinion, be corrected.
See Council Tax arrears - GOV.UK for the legal position. Yes, you can still be sent to prison for persistent non-payment but it still doesn't actually give you a criminal record.
It would be instructive to see what the evasion rate is for council tax, and how that compares to the TV licence. That would indicate how much the change to being a civil offence would cost.
BBC 2017: Which of these 14 options is best to collect 4 billio
Friday 28 March 2014 2:36PM
KMJ,Derby: There is unlikely to be a more efficient system than DVB-T2 any time in the next ten years. I previously calculated that the Shannon limit - the theoretical maximum achievable using a single transmit and receive aerial - for the channel conditions for the PSB3, COM7 and COM8 multiplexes is 47.27 Mbit/s. That compares to 40.21 Mbit/s that has already been achieved. The turbo codes used in DVB-T2 are said to get within 0.04 dB of the Shannon limit, though that is with codes 10 million bits long, rather than the 64,800 bits used in DVB-T2.
Any further improvements are likely to require multiple aerial techniques, which is difficult as viewers aren't going to want to install more than one receive aerial.
Encryption is perfectly possible on DVB-T and DVB-T2 as they stand. Freeview boxes have generally included a CAM slot (CI specification) and it was a European requirement for integrated digital TVs to include one. Top Up TV provided a CAM for viewing ESPN, and would have done so for Sky Sports had Sky not prevented it. They complained that the CI specification only encrypts from the transmission to the CAM - the CAM returns data to the box unencrypted, so it theoretically could be plugged into a computer and content ripped from there. The newer CI+ specification, which I believe newer TVs support, protects the communication between the box and the CAM.
However, YouView boxes do not have a CAM slot. This was a deliberate design decision. My Humax DTR-T1010 has a recess in the moulding where a CAM could go, but there's nothing behind it as far as I know.
The problem, as always, is that distributing and managing CAMs and smartcards, activating and deactivating cards when subscribers join or leave (or don't pay), costs money: far more than the actually very low cost of managing the licence fee.

Hannington COM7 has been on-air since 18 March.
DTG Summit: Freeview 700 MHz band for 4G very likely, BBC pay-F
Wednesday 21 May 2014 4:39PM
Aerialman: If that happens, the Sutton Coldfield COM muxes will also move. It won't just be a retune of transmitters that currently use the 700 MHz band, it will be a complete retune of all transmitters to make room. If we even retain six multiplexes (and you can bet that ITV [SDN] and Arqiva will not roll over on that), the COM multiplexes may well have to become national single-frequency networks, and if that happens it will be necessary to change them to DVB-T2 so that the longest guard interval available can be used. There's a good chance that some relays will have to be shut down as no, or not enough, frequencies will be available for them.
The only document I'm aware of that made any gestures towards what might happen is an Arqiva planning study at http://stakeholders.ofcom….pdf . Briantist is, as usual, being massively premature in indicating any particular frequency allocations on this site.
Any new frequency plan is likely to have to be co-ordinated with our European neighbours - we're unlikely to be able to make it fit into our current envelope. If this goes ahead, though, it's likely they will all have to re-plan as well.
A bakers dozen of changes: Freeview channel number changes from
Wednesday 3 September 2014 10:30PM
Gerry L: The latest information available on Ofcom's website confirms that the frequencies are as listed here.
If you don't have HD equipment, you should tune in UHF channel 28 for the BBC's SD channels, UHF 25 for ITV1, C4 and C5. The COM multiplexes are on 21, 24 and 27 respectively.
If you do have HD equipment, BBC One, Two, Three and ITV1 and 4hd are on UHF 22. BBC Four, BBC News, C4+1HD, 4Seven HD, Community Channel HD and Al Jazeera's channels are on UHF 32.
The local services are not on air. Ofcom have not yet even issued an Invitation To Apply for the Cheltenham or Hereford service areas.
Karen: Check whether there is another copy of the services elsewhere in the guide - typically at channel 800 and up. If there are, you live in a service overlap area. If they're more reliable than those at 1, 2, 3 etc, it's probable that your box uses the naïve tuning algorithm: it simply stores the first version it encounters, rather than the best version. If you want to put the best versions at the proper channel numbers, you're likely to have to do a manual retune. Check your box's manual to see how to do this. You can find a collection of manuals and retune advice at
Digital UK - Retuning Instructions .
If Scotland votes Yes, what would happen to Free TV in the rest
Tuesday 9 September 2014 6:09PM
Corin: The relevant UK Acts of Parliament - the Broadcasting Acts of 1990 and 1996, and the Communications Act of 2003 - were extended to the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man through Orders-in-Council. The orders did in some cases modify the text compared to the UK versions (over and above the simple changes to replace 'United Kingdom' with the corresponding Dependency's name).
This gives the BBC power to enforce TV licensing in the dependencies, and gives Ofcom the power to licence TV multiplex services and broadcasting services, under the same system as the UK.
Scotland, if it becomes independent, will be a completely separate nation with no legal recourse to or by the Westminster parliament, or to the UK Privy Council. It will initially inherit UK legislation for, although Scotland has a separate legal system of courts and procedure, the laws themselves rarely make specific provisions for Scotland.
The exceptions are typically where a different official has power in Scotland compared to England and Wales or Northern Ireland, or a different term is used in Scots law. For example, Communications Act 2003 section 366 ("Powers to enforce TV licensing") begins "If a justice of the peace, a sheriff in Scotland or a lay magistrate in Northern Ireland is satisfied by information on oath [...]". Subsection 11 then says "In the application of this section to Scotland, the reference in subsection (1) to information on oath shall have effect as a reference to evidence on oath."
The licences issued by Ofcom to the Channel 3 companies, Channel 4, Channel 5, the local broadcasters and the multiplex operators all state that the licence is governed by English law. This includes the Scottish Channel 3 licences and the Glasgow local TV licence held by STV. I'd expect the Edinburgh licence to say the same, when it gets published.

This central theme of the play was very much in tune with the post-hippie period in which the show was first produced: wealth, knowledge, and power can't buy love, peace, family, or the sense of individualism-all buzzwords from that era. English thesaurus is mainly derived from The Integral Dictionary (TID).

Pepin the Short (German: Pippin der Jüngere, French: Pépin le Bref, c. 714 – 24 September 768) was the King of the Franks from 751 until his death in 768.

Despite the divorce, Pepin probably had faint ideas of succeeding his royal father, but was never a contender to inherit the throne.
