The term 'midlife' has undergone a transition than what it was previously. Today, every individual in the mid stages of life have the urge to act, feel and look younger than the earlier generations. Some families still have to raise children because of problems in childbearing or delayed marriages. On the other hand, some have just started their second families. At a stage in life where we would contemplate retirement, the mid-lifers today are more involved in earning for the home and ... more...

Creating the right team is imperative to your success. A team is comprised of people who can bring necessary skill sets to the venture. A team is different from partners. Partners are financially and legally tied to the venture while team members are brought in to create and continue the process. Team members can be employees or sub-contactors. These are people you can control - you get to pick them. You can use their services for as long as you like. If they don't work out as planned, you ... more...

Coaching as a profession is gaining importance. The sudden awareness of coaching as a profession has led many people to form their own myths about the profession. One of the most common myths about coaching is the fact that people believe it to be a new profession. This is where you are wrong. Coaching is in fact one of the oldest professions there is. A successful person helping others to attain success is nothing new. It is an age-old profession and was followed by great philosophers like Socr... more...

Fire safety standards rely very heavily on passive protection, usually involving the enclosure of staircases and corridors leading to final escape points and the provision of fire doors across passageways. In addition to the intrusion that the additional doors and partitions can cause in an historic interior, upgrading original historic features such as doors, walls, floors and ceilings to standards of fire resistance intended for more modern buildings is less than ideal. The usua... more...

Although we can do our utmost to prevent fires from happening by isolating the sources of heat from combustibles and oxygen, it is often the unexpected event that catches us unawares. Carelessness Sometimes, forgetfulness can result in an accidental fire. Putting a kettle to boil water on a gas stove and forgetting about it can be disastrous. When all the water has evaporated, the kettle becomes red hot, melt and spread the molten metal around. LPG gas leaks are also dangero... more...

Of course, it is always clear that "risk" is a possibility that something unsuitable happens. What is not clear is how probable it is, what nature it has, and what harm it can do to an organization. Betting on some event means the chance of financial loss: the unsuitable outcome. To decide if we want to take on this risk means calculating the chances of winning or the odds of losing. We can implement measures to reduce the chance of the danger, and put strategies in place to hand... more...

Americans are in love with statistics. That is probably because there are so many of them, and they are typically impressive numbers. Natural disasters and other life-threatening situations are often viewed in terms of statistics - dollars spent and lives lost. From a purely statistical perspective, the total U.S. fire cost over the past three years exceeds direct costs and losses associated with all other natural disasters combined, including floods, hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquake... more...

The introduction of conventional fire doors and partitions can have a disastrous affect on a building's character and historic interest. Risk assessment and the development of a strategic approach to fire safety measures can lead to more sympathetic solutions. While modern buildings are designed from the outset to allow the occupants to leave quickly and easily in the event of a fire, adapting an historic building is more difficult. Two primary factors must be considered: the protect... more...

All fabrics will burn but some are more combustible than others. Untreated natural fibers such as cotton, linen and silk burn more readily than wool, which is more difficult to ignite and burns with a low flame velocity. The weight and weave of the fabric will affect how easily the material will ignite and burn. Recommended fabrics are materials with a tight weave. Heavy, tight weave fabrics will burn more slowly than loose weave, light fabrics of the same material. The surface texture of... more...

Many companies make it a policy to "hire from within," which is a way of saying that a person can start out on the ground floor of a company and eventually work his or her way up and possibly someday become the company's CEO. One way of keeping this process possible is by a method called "Succession Planning." Succession Planning is the way a company both promotes its employees and makes sure that it is never caught in the lurch, with a gaping hole in the system. ... more...

A business is nothing more than an idea without people in place to take action and make the business happen. And how well a business runs is a direct reflection of its employees. Over time, a practice known as "Performance Management" has been put in place in most businesses to ensure that employees not only do the jobs they were hired to do, but do them well and are proud of the work they get done. The five key areas of Performance Management are planning, monitoring, dev... more...

We often look to cause and effect for the answer to the question 'why?' This experience is one that I've thought on for a number of years and can't quite seem to resolve and by the way, it's true. An old friend was raised in a conservative, fundamentalist family. As a rebellion to his upbringing, he studied philosophy and psychology and eventually came into contact with Madalyn Murray O'Hair, the famous atheist that challenged prayer in schools in the famou... more...
