On a beautiful spring morning a few years back I found myself sitting in a small classroom listening to “The Evil Russian,” Pavel Tsatsouline discuss flexibility training. There were about 25 people in the room and they were all there to learn techniques that Pavel used to train the elite Russian Special Forces Unit, Spetznaz. Everyone listened intently as Pavel shared his secrets with us, but one person, me, was really amazed at how some of what he said applied to dog training. What Makes The Difference? Have you ever wondered, as I have, what makes such a dramatic difference in the way a dog behaves? It isn’t always the person training the dog. It isn’t that one person wants a well behaved dog and the other doesn’t. The difference lies in how well the person understands a few b

It was mentioned in a semi-yearly report submitted to the UN Security Council by Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. More...

HYDERABAD: The Indian BPO job may be getting onto a factorylike assembly line chore.Similar to automobile shop floors, where jobs are broken down into miniscule tasks and processes demarcated step by step, BPO companies in India are experimenting of breaking a complex activity into numerous simple chores, to be easily performed by even school passouts.The dilution of task difficulty is primarily seen as a solution to talent crunch and a way to check attrition and battle wage inflation. Although it is not yet mainstream, if scaled up, it will throw up an opportunity for rural India to become the backoffice for BPO operations in metros.According to Nasscom vice-president Ameet Nivsarkar, “These experiments are being piloted by some BPO firms and the results are encouraging.

April 8, 2008 Number of parking lots decided by market forces WE REFER to last Tuesday's report, 'Finding a parking lot in CBD will soon be harder', which suggests there will be a shortage of carpark lots in new office and commercial buildings because the Government is restricting the number of parking lots. This is inaccurate. The Government does not limit the number of parking lots in a building. The approach it takes is to determine the minimum parking provision based on the given gross floor area of the development. Developers can provide more parking lots than this stipulated minimum. Hence, both the actual number of parking lots provided and parking charges imposed are market driven, as they are left to individual developers and carpark operators to determine. Developers have to deci

Blending everyday experience with groundbreaking research, Ariely explains how expectations, emotions, social norms, and other invisible, seemingly illogical forces skew our reasoning abilities. Not only do we make astonishingly simple mistakes every day, but we make the same types of mistakes, Ariely discovers. We consistently overpay, underestimate, and procrastinate. We
