Queens - November, 2006—Angie Parlionas was always fond of lip gloss as a child, constantly reapplying it throughout the school day, so she thought, “wouldn’t it be great if the lip gloss could be permanently attached to me?” That was the day YOYO Lip Gloss was born. The lip gloss, made in five different shades, is attached to a retractable reel that clips onto your jeans, making it easily accessible.The groundwork of her project began with a search to confirm no other similar product was currently on the market. When no exact matches were found, Angie proceeded to build a business plan, based on what she had learned in Professor Larry

Thinking style is a primary factor in communicating, information processing, judgement, problem solving and interaction with others. An individual's thinking preference has far reaching influence over leadership, decision making, relationship building, negotiating and influencing.

Understanding our own thinking style preference and that of people and teams that we work with is important because it allows us take advantage of the strengths we each bring to team environments.

Research by the 1981 Nobel Prize for Medicine winner, Roger Sperry and other researchers notably Ned Hermann and Kobus Neethling, who built on that work, identified that the brain has four thinking styles. The thinking styles are labelled by the quadrant of the brain that controls the thinking style. That is, left cerebral quadrant, right cerebral quadrant, left limbic quadrant and right limbic quadrant.

Left cerebral quadrant thinking style is characterised by a liking for working with facts, dealing with facts in a precise and exact way, looking at problems in a logical and rational way, interested in technical aspects and seeing performance as important.

Right cerebral quadrant thinking style is characterised by seeing the whole picture and not detail, liking change and trying new things, enjoying being busy with several things at the one time, having imagination, liking to find a connection between the present and the future and having a gut feeling for new ideas.

Automating Your Help Desk Workflow
Do you know you can open, answer, close and report help desk information without human intervention?Automation is a powerful feature provided by most enterprise level help desk products; however, most organizations rarely take advantage of these features. Based on a survey conducted by RightStar Systems, only 5% of the help desk managers interviewed were using automation to its fullest capacity. Most use it to some degree while others do not use it at all. Tom Jud, Emerging Growth Manager for BMC Software, has observed “…that the Business Rules Engine provided by the Magic Help Desk product, is the key feature that organizations should levera

How the New SEC Regs Affect Compensation Committees
An interesting aspect of the proposed new Security & Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations on Executive Compensation relate to the need to supply justification for their decisions (see February 2006 issue for details of the proposed regulation). Currently, most Boards provide a written section, which discusses their general philosophy, such as “providing a total compensation package for executives that is competitive with a group of comparable companies”. In recent public filings, the narrative has even spelled out relative to the measures that will be used in evaluating the level of performance achieved, in order to show that the Compensation Comm

Forget About Customer Service & Satisfaction: Pursue Customer VALUE

They are referred to as:Customer ServiceCustomer CareCustomer SupportCustomer Relationship ManagementClient ServicesClient Relations.Most of these titles and designations focus on what we DO without focusing on the results we are hoping to achieve.We engage in these activities, presumably to promote:Customer SatisfactionClient RetentionCustomer Loyalty.And we trust that these aims and practices will contribute to PROFITS.But as a long time manageme

Right limbic quadrant thinking style is characterised by experiencing facts in an emotional way, liking interaction with people, feeling empathy towards others and solving problems through an emotional, not logical process. When communicating, these people make much use of very picturesque language and body language and facial expressions.

All people are dominant in one or more styles. Sixty percent of the population are dominant in any two styles, thirty percent in any three styles, seven percent in one style and three percent are whole brained, that is, equally at home with all four styles. There is no best thinking style profile. The challenge comes when people with dominant and opposite thinking styles have to interact.

People with a left cerebral quadrant thinking style preference may appear to others as being arrogant with a critical style and an uncaring personality. Those with a right cerebral quadrant thinking style may appear to be a dreamer with a messy workplace, poor timekeeping and starter but not a finisher of projects. A brain dominated by a left limbic quadrant thinking style can appear to be inflexible, bureaucratic, risk averse and unable to see the big picture. A right limbic quadrant thinking style preference may make an individual appear emotional, overly concerned with others feelings and to slo

Manual date stamps are adequate for marking date in years and months. However using manual date stamps for marking date in months, days, hours, and minutes is problematic. Further, manual date stamps require rotation of bands and pre-checking of the positioned date on a waste paper. This is necessary because embossed numbers do not resemble normal numbers. Electronic date stamps are designed to overcome such drawbacks.

Insurance underwriting derives from the Lloyd's of London insurance market in London, United Kingdom. The basics of underwriting are a process used to assess the process of providing access to insurance. The term 'underwriting' was for financial backers who would accept some of the risk on a venture in exchange for a payment, or premium.

With failure rate of new businesses being so high, many people who want their own a business opt to buy an existing business. It sounds appealing, you have an established name, customer base, and good cash flow. But if you don't pick the right business for you and get the best deal it will ultimately fail.
