Call sampling and coaching is integral to meeting service agreements (SLAs) and achieving key performance indicators (KPIs) in targeted environments, such as contact centres.
In this programme, you will be guided to select the appropriate data and information to interpret key performance indicators and to focus on the areas that will produce the biggest return.
Total Quality Management has long been established as a leadership practice and management philosophy that has a positive impact upon the entire work environment.
In today's highly competitive business environment change is a constant. Learn how to face the change challenge.
The ability to manage time affects both the individual and those working around them. People who can do it well get more done and are less stressed.
For many organisations, especially contact centres, high staff absenteeism and turnover are the day-to-day working reality. Learn new ideas to help foster employee engagement.
Change is a constant in organisational life. Increased demands from the marketplace, competitors, stakeholders and regulators, all demand responsive attitudes and behaviour.
Yet, to the individual, change may be perceived as threatening and forced upon them. A sense of powerlessness and inertia can quickly develop, overcoming the very people needed to implement the changes.
❖ the tools needed to manage change at an individual and group level.
It utilises numerous practical exercises, case studies and group work.
behavioural issues arising from it.
❖ broaden perceptual positions to defuse potential conflict.
Effective call sampling and coaching training is key to meeting quality goals, satisfying customers and ensuring staff development. Having a system set up that staff understand and agree upon pays dividends. This coaching skills training course provides participants with clear guidelines and working methods.
Team leaders, coaches, quality specialists.
To increase understanding, skill and effectiveness in call sampling and coaching so that the organisation achieves its objectives and customers receive a superior service.
Managers have always had to lead by example.
To be an effective manager means working with people, processes and handling a wide range of situations.
❖ apply new skills to facilitate creativity in the workplace.
❖ individuals in charge with devising and implementing strategy, managing change, improving organisational performance, and leading high performance teams.
Research studies have shown a clear correlation between employee engagement and performance. If you improve employee engagement, defined as how people feel and think about their jobs, you improve performance.
Of course, whilst there is no substitute for a sustainable business strategy, or good policy and planning in the public sector, ultimately it is the people doing the work that make the difference. In the private sector, where goods and services are increasingly standardised, it may be the quality of service that differentiates one company from another, and is a genuine competitive advantage.
In this thought provoking and practical programme, participants will learn how motivation is linked to employee engagement. Motivation is defined here as having the drive to accomplish your objectives. It is strongly linked to personal intention and is central to our achievement and success. We all can sense a 'buzz' in the atmosphere, synonymous with people getting things done. This event will help show how to foster the attitudes and behaviors that are integral to creating that environment.

A World with No Christians? Report Shows Disturbing Trend
For the first time since Russian warplanes began flying combat missions in Syria, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will meet with Russian officials in Vienna Friday.
The meeting will follow a visit to Moscow this week by Syrian ruler Bashar al-Assad, his first known trip outside his country since the start of its conflict more than four years ago.
Assad owes Russian President Vladimir Putin a great deal. He was losing before Russian forces began operations against rebels.
The red carpet welcome for Assad, who has used chemical weapons on his own people, was a slap in the face to the West. It is seen as an effort by Russia to position itself as the leading power broker in the Syrian conflict.
"What I can tell you is, regardless of the visit, nothing's going to change about what we're focused on, which is two things: going after ISIL inside Syria and inside Iraq and trying to get at a political track, a political solution here in Syria," State Department spokesman John Kirby said during a briefing.
But perhaps something should change because Putin is outmaneuvering President Barack Obama on the chess board of the Middle East. The White House is now looking for a way to salvage it's agenda for the region.
Meanwhile, the United States, France, Britain and Germany have asked the U.N. Security Council to investigate and take "appropriate action" against Iran for conducting a ballistic missile test earlier this month.
They say it violated U.N. sanctions, although the United States called the test "entirely separate" from it's nuclear deal with Iran.

It is very interesting and challenging to enter into the limelight at the start of your career as an entrepreneur, and you can do so by representing some of the top most celebrities and public figures of the time.
Celebrity management firms specialize in the management of celebrities of all kinds, ranging from movie stars, sports icons to high ranking political officers and other public figures.
Celebrity management is one of the most glamorous upcoming professions today and provides a very green pasture for entrepreneurs to consider setting their feet on.
Before starting up a celebrity management firm, do an extensive research on the competitors in the industry and on their clients.
To begin with, identify celebrities who are in need of a manager. Your services should cover managing all aspects of their professional lives. A good manager also provides sufficient room to ensure that the celebrity also enjoys his/her personal time to the fullest.
A celebrity firm would therefore provide services like celebrity grooming, managing time schedules on behalf of their clients, public relation services, marketing and advertising campaigns, celebrity endorsements, promotional launches, parties, personal appearances and a lot more. Most of these services should be customized to suit your high end clientele. You can even go out of your way and provide lookalikes for actors in movies if required.
You should ensure that you can provide the service the client asks for. If you do not have the right means and resources to do so, do not accept the deal.
Though all these may sound like fun, it is not as easy as it seems, considering the hectic life style of these celebrities. A single celebrity manager will not be able to serve more than one or two clients at the same time. Hence if you wish to start a celebrity management firm, you should first have a highly capable team of professionals who can efficiently manage the time and resources available to maintain and promote the reputation of the client.
The manager should be able to make quick and problem solving decisions. For example:- if a celebrity is required to at two places at the same time, the decision to choose the schedule should be made keeping in mind the long term benefits of the client and his reputation, rather than the commission you may receive.
Another skill required is to be fully oriented to satisfy the needs of the client while maintaining a long lasting and personal relationship with each of them. To do so, the manager should not only interact well with the celebrities but also have good networking skills to ensure the client they represent, receives as much as publicity as possible.
Thus, a celebrity manager should be the force behind the overall public image of the client they represent. They are, therefore, responsible for all the public acts of the celebrity. This corroborates with the fact that as the pay increases, so do the responsibilities.
Questions? Comments? Suggestions? Share your thoughts on how to start a celebrity management firm.
I am currently an insurance / investment agent and after doing some soul searching I figured out that I like glamour and red carpets...I wana be a celeb agent or a celeb manager!

Home Events Merced SPCA Closing
Merced SPCA Closing
Indiana Madden
Merced County's only no-kill animal shelter is due to close at the end of this month. Years of struggling to keep Merced's Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) alive on donations alone has finally come to a somber defeat. The nonprofit has announced closure in late January and an article by the Merced Sun-Star was released February 1st, making the closure public. Lily, a volunteer at the SPCA, shared light on the main reason for the closure, "Financial situation is not good…mainly keeping with medical." Another volunteer, who wished to not be named, adds, "Biggest expense [of the year] is the vet bills…PG&E was a lot [too]."
The question on everyone's mind, however, is 'what is going to happen to the dogs and cats?' Well, majority of the cats and dogs are going to be relocated to foster homes or other no-kill shelters through New Beginnings rescue group. Lily explains, "A lot of them are going to rescues–Jack is going to Utah!" Other dogs, such as Diamond and Baby, are shelter dogs–meaning that they have been in the shelter for such a long time that the shelter has become their home. Shelter dogs are hard to adopt out as they are often frightened and shy when removed from the shelter.
Although the shelter is closing to the public, it may still be open for fostering for New Beginnings. The shelter will still accept volunteers and donations, but it will no longer be able to accept animals from the general public. Unfortunately, this schism from the public means strays and those seeking to surrender animals will have to go to Animal Control.
The next question some might be wondering is: 'What can I do to help?' Unfortunately, there's not much we can do to prevent the closure. It's too little, too late. Most people on campus don't even know that Merced had an SPCA, let alone that it was open to volunteers. There were many things we could have done to keep the SPCA: fundraisers, group volunteering, or having a campus spokesperson to raise awareness. That time has past, but as long as there are animals in need of rescue, there is always something we can do. We can still have fundraisers to support the animals at New Beginnings. We can still volunteer if the shelter becomes a foster home or even help them out during their transition. We can still raise awareness through education. The SPCA may be closing to the public, but there will always be a need for a no-kill shelter. The animals of Merced County deserve better, and we can give them better.

This explosive action thriller, starring Eric Cantona, has a sting in its tail. When Sophie Malaterre (Karine Vanasse – Midnight in Paris, Pan Am) is introduced to SWITCH.COM by a new friend, she thinks the holiday-home swapping website will be the perfect way to liven up a dull summer. But soon after she arrives at her new apartment in Paris, she realises she made the biggest mistake of her life. A murdered man is found in the guest bedroom, and when Detective Forgeat (Eric Cantona – Looking for Eric, Elizabeth) takes Sophie in for questioning - she finds out she hasn't just swapped houses, she's switched identities. In an attempt to prove her innocence, she goes on the run and it's up to Detective Forgeat to find Sophie before she too turns up dead. But things don't go to plan and, when the body count starts piling up, Forgeat finds himself getting in over his head and operating outside of the law in a bid to save Sophie and hunt down the real killer.

In Arabic, the word �Umrah is derived from I�timaar which means a visit. However, �Umrah in Islamic terminology, means paying a visit to Ka�bah, performing Tawaaf (circumambulation) around it, walking between Safaa and Marwah seven times. A performer of �Umrah puts off his Ihraam by having his hair shaved or cut. �Umrah can be performed along with Hajj and in other days as well.
�Umrah can be performed during anytime in the year, there is no fixed time for �Umrah.
These are the four pillars for How to perform Umrah.
During �Umrah, pilgrims do not go to Minaa, �Arafaat and Muzdalifah or throw pebbles on the Jamrahs (stone pillars representing devils) or offer animal sacrifice. These rites are only performed during Hajj.
1. When the one who wants to perform �Umrah arrives at the Meeqaat, it is recommended for him (both man and woman) to take a bath if convenient, including menstruating women and those experiencing postnatal bleeding. The man perfumes his head and beard but not his Ihraam garments. There is no harm in what remains of it after Ihraam. There is nothing wrong if it is not possible to take a bath at Meeqaat.
As for men, they must assume their Ihraam at the Meeqaat by wearing two pieces of fabric called the Izaar and the Ridaa�. The Ridaa� covers the top half of the body, while the Izaar covers the lower half. No other clothing is allowed to be worn in addition to these � no underwear, no pants, no shirt, no turban, no hat, etc. are to be worn.
Upon arriving at the sacred mosque in Makkah (Al-Masjid Al-Haraam), you should enter with your right foot and say: "Bismillaah, Allahumma Salli 'Alaa Muhammad, Allahumma Ighfirli waftahli Abwaaba Rahmatik. (In the name of Allah! O Allah! Exalt the mention of your Messenger. O Allah! Forgive my sins, and open the gates of Your mercy for me)." You should enter in a manner expressing humility and gratitude to the blessings He, Almighty, conferred upon you.
3. Upon arriving at the Ka�bah, stop reciting the Talbiyyah, then approach the Black Stone, touch it with your right hand and kiss it. If this isn't possible, you should face the Black Stone and point to it. Don�t push and shove, causing harm and being harmed by other people. When touching the Stone, the following is said: �Bismil-laah, Allahu Akbar� (In the name of Allah, Allah is the Greatest) or "Allahu Akbar" (Allah is the Greatest).
A pilgrim must walk, keeping the Ka�bah on his left. When you reach the Yamaani corner touch it with your right hand, if possible, but do not kiss it, and say: �Bismil-laahi wa Allahu Akbar�. If this is difficult for you, then go on performing tawaaf without touching it, pointing at it or even saying �Allahu Akbar� because this was not narrated from the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) on the other hand whenever you reach or are parallel to the black stone, touch it with your right hand, kiss it and say, �Bismillaah Allahu Akbar�, if it is not possible then it is enough to point at it and say, �Bismillaah, Allahu Akbar�.
a) Al-Idhtibaa' from the beginning of Tawaaf until the end, which is placing the middle of one's Redaa' under the right arm and the ends of it over the left shoulder. When you are finished performing Tawaaf, you may return your Reda' to its original state because the time for A-Idhtibaa' is only during Tawaaf.
Then pray two short Rak�ahs, as close as conveniently possible, behind Maqaam Ibraheem. If it is not possible then you can pray them anywhere in the sacred mosque. It is preferred to recite during the first Rak'ah the chapter "Al-Kafiroon"  and during the second one the chapter of �Al-lkhlaas� .
How to Prepare for Umrah without Hassles?
Once you have decided that you want to make an Umrah trip then you should be prepared for it. There are some requirements to be met before you actually go on this pious trip.
Hajj & Umrah are two sacred and holy pilgrimages that Muslims perform. There are definitely some preparations that you need to do as you have to travel overseas for some days. There are definitely some prerequisites for Umrah that need to be followed which will be discussed below. There are only 4 important rites of Umrah that you need to adhere to.
Umrah being a Holy and pious trip to the house of Allah needs a lot of physical and mental strength.
One has to be physically fit and financially debt free to take this trip.
An early preparation will always help you when you plan for Umrah or even Hajj.
Your intention should be pure to perform Umrah.
Ensure you have not indulged in any wrong activity or work to earn the money to go on this trip. It should be your hard earned money and comes from the right sources.
Ensure you ask for forgiveness from all those you have hurt. You should have a pure heart to complete the rites of Umrah.
You need to be a Muslim.
Umrah is an experience that every Muslim will love. You need to be strong to be able to complete this trip successfully. Keep handy all the information, your itinerary should be ready and perfectly planned and have all your documents ready for the process. Ensure that you have purchased all the necessary things for the trip. Also, keep in mind that you have the necessary medications ready in case of an emergency. Plan for your trip at least 2-3 months before. Avoid going for it during the month of Hajj. Umrah can be performed anytime during the year.
Your visa form should be thoroughly checked and filled properly. You should also enclose an envelope along with your Visa Application when you send it to the Saudi Consulate.
You will also need 2 Passport size photos.
Your passport should have a validity of at least 6 months.
Have round ticket ready for your trip to and from Saudi Arabia.
You need to vaccinated as per the WHO guidelines. Designed especially for those travelling to various countries of Saudi Arabia.
Have additional passport size photographs while travelling to Saudi Arabia as you might need them for ID cards. Instead of running in the last moment in an unknown country it is best to be prepared.
If you are a US citizen then you must have a valid documentation from the reliable authority like Imam from the local mosque that says you are Muslim.
Carry all the necessary things with you like your Ihram, medicines, waist pouch, money, suitcase, clothes, food & water, and all other necessary things you might need during the trip.
When you are planning to travel for Umrah to the most Holy Cities of Mecca & Madinah, you need to be assisted properly. For your trip to complete without any hassle you need a good and reliable travel agent who will do all the things for you. Mzahid is one such top travel agency that gives you the best services.

I detest cover letters. Is there anything more difficult to write? Thankfully, cover letters are one of those things that get easier to do with time. Before I've listed a short guide to what your cover letter should look like.
(it's always a good idea to know who's going to be receiving your application and then addressing them here. It shows that you have done your research on the business).
Paragraph 1: Introduce yourself. State your name, where you go to school and what you're studying. State why you're applying. Make sure you catch the readers attention so that he or she is eager to continue reading.
Paragraph 2: Highlight anything important you think they need to know. For example, have you have previous experience in this field?
Do you have a skill that makes you excellent for the job? EVERYTHING is important. Jobs teach you skills that can be used in any field.
Paragraph 3: Make it clear that you will be an asset to them. Whether it's because you thrive on pressure and deadlines or because you have amazing qualifications, show the company that they should want to hire you.

Julija Władimirowna Andriejewa z d. Archipowa (kir. Юлия Владимировна Андреева Архипова), (ur. 7 marca 1984 roku we Frunze) – kirgiska biegaczka długodystansowa, uczestniczka Igrzysk olimpijskich, wielokrotna Mistrzyni Kirgistanu, Mistrz Sportu Rosji Międzynarodowej Klasy.

Kariera
Julija po raz pierwszy lekkoatletyką zaczęła zajmować się w wieku 14 lat. W 2008 roku zadebiutowała na Igrzyskach olimpijskich w Pekinie, gdzie zajęła 58. miejsce z czasem 2:44:41. W 2009 zwyciężyła w Maratonie Baltimorskim z czasem 2:32:09 ustanawiając nowy rekord tego wydarzenia sportowego (pobity w 2011 przez Ukrainkę Ołenę Szurchno). Osiągnięcie to uważa za swój największy sukces w karierze.Na Letnich Igrzyskach Azjatyckich w 2010 roku startowała w biegu na 5000 m, gdzie zajęła niską, 10. lokatę z czasem 16:47.42. Dobiegła na metę ponad półtorej minuty później niż zwyciężczyni - Etiopka Mimi Belete.

Na Igrzyskach olimpijskich w Londynie ponownie wystartowała w biegu maratońskim. Już od pierwszych metrów wyraźnie odstawała od jego liderek i większość czasu utrzymywała się w siódmej dziesiątce zawodniczek. Ostatecznie na metę wbiegła 2:36:01 od startu zajmując 60. miejsce.

How much of your time I need: 3 minutes
This article originally appeared in The Lombardian, a Tallahassee-based blog. Since then, I've had Tecate. It's alright.
Enter a new beer (to us, not the world), originally marketed to America's Hispanic population but now finds itself launching into more ambitious advertising: Tecate. Taglines like "Blame your manfidence" or "Always bold, never flashy," direct themselves to what I think one could aptly call values of machismo, a hallmark of Latin American literature and a set of male identifiers shared by many cultures.
The package of masculinity is a controversial one, especially today. I shudder to link a Buzzfeed article, but in 12 Reasons Masculinity is Terrible for Men, the author brings up some important points in a roundabout way. The impression is men fight, men are reckless, men work dangerous jobs, men are lonely. The male identity as a gender role is one riddled with violence and acclaiming sexual and physical experience and recklessness as a metric of brotitude, and exposure to danger is like, totally radical brohamme. Machismo is today reminiscent of those more inappropriate components of masculinity, and the ensemble of commercials might lead one to believe Tecate continues that tradition.
Tecate's Spanish commercials heavily feature Sylvester Stallone, who on first glance is a big shot macho star from films like Rocky and Rambo (both, interestingly, showcase some of the dangers of masculinity: little social support, proximity to violence, drug abuse), but even he has grown into a dignified, older male statesman actor and general all-around dudebro mascot. His presence hearkens back to a time of danger, but that danger is confined now, at least in Tecate commercials, to the ring, stadium, or boundless skies.
More still, is a great commercial featuring Diego Maradona giving a man the courage to build his own football stadium, which blends the positive characteristics of masculinity — in this case, woodcutting, individuality, and stadium construction — with the brotherhood teamwork inspires and the glory and camaraderie football brings to its audience. The message is less about old-age masculinity and more about being bold enough to make your own decisions, and not just the decisions when standing in the aisle choosing a beer, (manfidence), but decisions like choosing to live an honest life and be a good person. Even Tecate's advertising is fairly understated as far as commercials go, perhaps a testament to the identity the brand seeks to cultivate.
But you'll hear it here first. I don't think the young adult in me would drink Tecate because of its manly message. In fact, many people I know have had it, and I refuse to believe it's because of the masculine message. I've heard the taste is relatively pedestrian (I can now personally attest to this), but it (and most large brands, though this isn't intended as a bad thing) is a fairly pedestrian beer. Heineken acquired Tecate along with the Dos Equis and Sol brands in 2010, so it's certainly not being treated as a remarkable revelation by beer enthusiasts. The beer is from Mexico, and pop culture enthusiasts such as myself are only too inclined to babystep out of our comfort zone and try a slightly less well-known product that will provide the same satisfaction, but think this a little different. Drinking is certainly masculine, but the method by which Tecate seeks to acquire your business is not, at least in the traditional sense. Its advertising slogans, graduated ever so slightly from platitudes, still possess a meaning.
The value of Tecate comes not from its taste, but its advertising. Tecate's advertisements are often related to boxing, but this serves to highlights a focus on measured boldness and inclusion at the party (fueled by booze), and both ideas serve to denature masculinity from its original trappings. Gone are the components of overt violence and irresponsibility, replaced by a more sedate, socialized boldness, which may be the best way to describe its flavor anyway. In today's world, the real danger is left up to the can's ubiquitous Black Eagle, who soars through the clouds seeking out his fellow, humble indulgers.

Metro Could Add Retail Service to Stations
If passed, plan could become reality by fall
By Jim Iovino
Published Jul 13, 2009 at 10:03 PM
Retail space could soon be added to Metro stations.
By late fall Metro riders could be able to get something dry-cleaned, grab a magazine or buy a take-home meal -- all in their neighborhood Metro station.
Metro officials on Wednesday unveiled a plan to have retail service added to 12 rail stations.
The stations included in the proposal are:
Anacostia (sidewalk)
Fort Totten (sidewalk and paid area of station)
Gallery Place-Chinatown (paid and free area of station)
Metro Center (paid area of station)
King Street (free area of mezzanine)
Rosslyn (free area of mezzanine)
Vienna/Fairfax-GMU (paid area of station and short term parking)
West Falls Church-VT/UVA (sidewalk)
Branch Avenue (sidewalk and Kiss & Ride)
Glenmont (sidewalk)
New Carrollton (sidewalk)
Shady Grove (sidewalk)
The stations were chosen based on ridership and space.
Metro would find a partner to operate the kiosks or permanent structures for a minimum of three years with options for the next five. They would be located in free and paid areas of stations, including mezzanines, sidewalks and Kiss & Ride lots.
What wouldn't Metro riders be able to buy? Tobacco or alcohol.
"Retail services in stations could prove to be convenient for customers and financially beneficial for Metro, which is especially important during these tough economic times," Metro General Manager John Catoe said in a release.
Three years ago Metro asked for similar proposals from partners, but received only three, and none met their requirements.
"What we found from surveying businesses and other transit agencies is that it is much more profitable to include the sales of food and beverages," said Nat Bottigheimer, assistant general manager of planning and joint development. "Other transit agencies that ban eating and drinking in their systems such as Atlanta, San Francisco and Chicago allow the sale of packaged food and beverages. We could do the same, and we are open to proposals."
The idea was presented to the Rider's Advisory Council for input and officials will seek approval from the Metro Board later this month. If approved, proposals would be solicited in June, reviewed in the summer and could start in late fall.

Editorial Policies:
Editorial decisions concerning the Encyclopedia, including decisions concerning its content, format and distribution, are made by the Principal Editor in consultation with the Associate Editor, Assistant Editor, and the Board of Editors.
The members of the Board of Editors are selected in consultation with the Stanford University Department of Philosophy, which serves as the Encyclopedia's Advisory Board. The Advisory Board also advises the Principal Editor on the basic policies governing the operation of the Encyclopedia.
Contributions to the Encyclopedia are normally solicited by invitation from a member of the Board of Editors. However, qualified potential contributors may send a proposal to write on an Encyclopedia topic, along with a curriculum vitae, to an appropriate member of the Editorial Board.
By qualified, we mean those persons with accredited Ph.D.s in Philosophy (or a related discipline) who have published refereed works on the topic of the proposed entry. By refereed works we mean either articles in respected, peer-reviewed journals or books which have been published by respected publishing houses and which have undergone the usual peer review process prior to publication. (Notes in newsletters, proceedings, unpublished dissertations, etc., do not count as much.) However, if a member of our Board of Editors is familiar with the work of the potential contributor, the latter may be certified as qualified.
By Encyclopedia topic, we mean a topic that is suitable for a reference work in philosophy and is (a) either listed in our Unabridged Table of Contents or (b) falls within the area of expertise of one of the members of our Editorial Board. Since the Encyclopedia currently does not yet have subject editors for every specialized area of philosophy, some topics suitable for a reference work in philosophy might fail condition (b) -- we reserve the right to determine whether such entry proposals (in specialized areas for which the Encyclopedia lacks subject editors) should be pursued at this time.
The Board of Editors reserves the right to compare the qualifications of any person submitting an unsolicited request with those of other potential authors who would be qualified to write the entry in question.
All entries, whether solicited or approved, will be refereed by one or more of the subject editors on our Board of Editors or by one or more external referees who have been approved by a member of the Board of Editors. Authors are expected to engage any constructive criticisms they receive during the referee process, prior to publication. Authors should note, however, that no matter whether they have been invited or approved by one of these subject editors, our goal of producing a high-quality reference work requires us to admit the possibility that some submitted entries may not be accepted for publication.
Readers of the Encyclopedia are encouraged to contact authors directly with comments, corrections, and other suggestions for improvements.
It remains the responsibility of authors to maintain their entries and to keep them current. Authors are expected: (1) to update their entries regularly, especially in response to important new research on the topic of the entry, and (2) to revise their entries in a timely way in light of any valid criticism they receive, whether it comes from the subject editors on our Editorial Board, other members of the profession, or interested readers. In connection with (1), authors should update the Bibliography and Other Internet Resources sections of their entries regularly, to keep pace with significant new publications, both in print and on the web. In connection with (2), the validity of criticism shall be determined by the Principal Editor, typically in consultation with the relevant members of the Editorial Board. The length of time required for a "timely" revision will be negotiable and will both respect the author's current commitments and reflect the seriousness of the criticism. However, entries which require revision but which are not revised within the negotiated timetable may be retired from the active portion of the Encyclopedia and left in the Encyclopedia Archives until such time as the entry is revised so as to engage the valid criticisms in question.
The views expressed by the authors in their entries are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of Stanford University, the Stanford University Philosophy Department, the Encyclopedia's Editors or of anyone else associated with the Encyclopedia.
Copyright Notice. Authors contributing an entry or entries to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, except as provided herein, retain the copyright to their entry or entries.

Authors also grant to the Metaphysics Research Lab at Stanford University a perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide right to translate their contribution, as well as any modified or derivative works, into any and all languages for the same purposes of copying, distributing, transmitting and publishing their work.
Statement of Liability and Indemnity. By contributing an entry or entries to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy authors grant, to the Principal Editor, the Associate Editor, the Assistant Editor, members of the Advisory and Editorial Boards, the Metaphysics Research Lab, CSLI, Stanford University and its officers, trustees, agents and employees ("Stanford Parties"), immunity from all liability arising from their work. All authors are responsible for securing permission to use any copyrighted material, including graphics, quotations, and photographs, within their entries. The Principal Editor, Associate Editor, Assistant Editor, members of the Advisory and Editorial Boards, CSLI, and the Stanford Parties therefore disclaim any and all responsibility for copyright violations and any other form of liability arising from the content of the Encyclopedia or from any material linked to the Encyclopedia. Authors agree to indemnify and hold the Stanford Parties harmless from any claims of copyright infringement or other alleged wrongdoing in connection with the author's entries. Alleged copyright violations should be brought to the attention of the author and the Principal Editor, so that such issues may be dealt with promptly.
The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy project is indebted to various people, both at Stanford and elsewhere, all of whom deserve acknowledgement. Although the Associate Editor (Colin Allen) and the Assistant Editor (Uri Nodelman) have been the Principal and Associate Perl Programmers, respectively, on this project since 1998, Eric Hammer (Peoplesoft Corporation) programmed on the project from 1995 to 1997. During the 2000-2001 and 2001-2002 academic years, David James Anderson wrote important Perl programs and has made other contributions to the project. We'd also like to thank David Barker-Plummer, Mark Greaves, Emma Pease, and Susanne Riehemann for their many helpful suggestions concerning the Encyclopedia project and the construction of this Web site.
The Principal Editor would also like to acknowledge the contributions of: Javier Ergueta, for his efforts and work in developing a business plan for the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy during the first six months of 2002, and Nathan Tawil, who helped design the Encyclopedia entry format when the project started in 1995. Finally, the South Korean company C.O.Tech, Inc., deserves acknowledgement for their expert advice concerning XML and for working on a Java-based, graphical XML/XHTML-editing program for our consideration and possible use by the authors of the Encyclopedia.

Notes: Although their names are esteemed in collecting circles across America, Dr. and Mrs. Benjamin H. Caldwell Jr. are perhaps best known for their shared passion for the fine and decorative arts of their home state. Their generosity in sharing what they have acquired and what they have learned over more than fifty years of collecting has enriched all Tennesseans who desire to understand and appreciate the state's material culture. Dr. Caldwell, who was born in a small, West Tennessee farming town, likes to tell how he never saw a great museum painting until he was a teenager. Yet his eye was so naturally discerning that while in New York studying medicine, it impressed a prestigious antiques dealer, who offered him a job. Dr. Caldwell recalls he was tempted, but decided it would be better to make antiques his hobby and medicine his vocation rather than the other way around! Later in his career, however, Dr. Caldwell turned his scholarly mind to the exploration of the South's early silver trade, publishing the landmark book Tennessee Silversmiths in 1988. The book was preceded by Dr. Caldwell's article on Tennessee silver in the September 1971 issue of The Magazine Antiques, which also showcased the Caldwell home (and pictured several of the objects in this auction). Pieces from the Caldwells' collection have since been exhibited in numerous museum settings and scholarly articles and books, including The Art and Mystery of Tennessee Furniture. The Caldwells lent and gave generously to museums, served on boards including Cheekwood and the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts, and consulted with numerous historic homes including Traveller's Rest, Belle Meade Plantation, and Cragfont. Dr. Caldwell was president of Historic Nashville Inc. and played key roles in the preservation of the Ryman Auditorium and Union Station. In the 1990s, the Caldwells embarked on a mission to make the visual arts accessible to rural, underserved areas in Tennessee. They donated hundreds of works of art to the West Tennessee Regional Arts Center in Dr. Caldwell's hometown of Humboldt, which earned them a Governor's Award in the Arts from the Tennessee Arts Commission. In 2006, Dr. Caldwell helped organize and co-‐authored the catalog for The Art of Tennessee exhibit at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts, a comprehensive survey of the skill and genius of Tennessee's best artisans. The exhibit was much like the Caldwells' own collection, highlighting the best in the fine and decorative arts from Tennessee's statehood to the present day. On a personal note, the groundwork laid by Dr. and Mrs. Caldwell is one of the reasons we at Case got into this business, and their research assistance, friendship, and encouragement are a big part of why we're still here. Ultimately, the Caldwells understand these things we all love are really about people. It is our very great honor to present in this auction some of the beloved pieces that formed the core of their collection.

Funding boost for touring theatre
A touring theatre company has received a funding boost.
Sunday, 21 August, 2016, 09:25
Highlights has been successful in its application to the Arts Council Catalyst Evolve fund.
The Catalyst Evolve programme is designed to help arts organisations to become more skilled at raising funds from new sources such as sponsorship, trusts and private donations. As part of the programme, every £1 raised from new sources will be matched by the Arts Council.
Barbara Slack, of Highlights, said: "This is a massive boost for our small rural arts organisation with a wide geographic reach. We will be working in partnership with Arts Alive Shropshire, as we are comparable organisations with similar demands and opportunities."


Laura Dawson is an artist who works in glass to create beautiful pieces of art. Laura's works often come in the form of jewelry, but she also produces a wide array of objects including small dishes, incense burners, and coasters – as well as glass that functions purely as art.
Laura has perfected a technique of kiln-firing and etching that produces the unique designs on her glasswork. I really love the use of representational images – often trees, and in a more recent series, skydivers with parachutes open – in contrast with the abstract, gradient colours of glass. The jewelry pendants that Laura creates, figures silhouetted in front of bright splashes of colour, seem like fragments of a lovely sunset captured forever in a wearable capsule.
Laura displays a portfolio of her kiln-fired glass online, and also links to her Etsy store, where you can purchase one of the many pieces that she has up for sale.


Here's What You Pub Crawled For!
Today was the big day! A massive Christmas dinner was served at Ronald McDonald House – Wylie House this evening to families who have sick children at Children's Mercy Hospital. After dinner, children got to visit with Santa and receive presents and coloring books — all funding by your donations and pub crawl participation. The pop tabs you collected before and during the pub crawl were also delivered.
All the leftover food and gifts were divided among all three houses, so that those families who were unable to attend will be able to partake and enjoy later. Any Christmas gifts that still remain after the holiday season will be unwrapped and made available to all children who reside here throughout 2016.
The most touching moment of the evening was a young girl who walked up to Santa and whispered something in his ear. Santa nodded, and she left and returned with a book and climbed up on his lap. She opened the book and began to read to him. She wasn't interested in receiving a gift for herself, she simply wanted to read Santa a story.
Scroll down to see photos from tonight's event. And keep an eye on this site in the months to come for announcements about our next pub crawl!
Roll, cut, fold, tape! Roll, cut, fold, tape!

Top oil companies keen to explore oil in the East coast: Minister
By Supun Dias
Minister of Petroleum and Petroleum Gas Chandima Weerakkody said that a number of leading oil companies in the world have shown interest in exploring oil and gas in ultra-deep water blocks off the East coast of Sri Lanka.
To this end, the government has signed a two-year joint study agreement with French oil major Total.S.A. to explore two deep water blocks in the East coast.
Total.S.A. which is one of the seven 'Supermajor' oil companies in the world will invest USD 25 million during the period.
The agreement was signed between Minister Chandima Weerakkody and Total S.A.(Asia Pacific) President Olivier Cleret de Langavant.
The Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) is now underway. The joint study agreement is to explore oil and gas potential in the two selected blocks. The oil company bears most of the cost of exploration activities.
After the two years joint study period, Total S.A. will present the research findings to the government. If oil or gas is found in the blocks, the government and the company will enter into a petroleum resources agreement (PRA) on sharing the oil/gas production.
The Minister said that a Singaporean Company Bonavista has also expressed its willingness to embark on oil exploration work in Cauvery basin in Sri Lanka.
He said that he will get the Cabinet approval for them to start exploring within 2-3 months.

Protests against Vucic's election win for third day | Serbia News
Government officials say rallies are the work of political opponents as the crowds march in Serbia's capitals on day three.
Thousands of mostly young people have gathered in Serbia for the third year in a row to protest against the election of Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic as the country's next president
On Wednesday, crowds marched through the capital Belgrade and other cities, whistling and chanting slogans such as "Vucic, you stole the election" and "End the dictatorship".
Vucic, who will take office as president at the end of May, won the presidential elections on Sunday with a clear majority and received 55 percent of the vote in the first round.
WATCH: Serbia's censorship debate
Protesters have gathered in the streets to respond to calls on social media. It was not clear who was organizing the events, although government officials say the demonstrations are the work of political opponents.
The protesters said they see Vucic as an autocrat and his Serbian Progressive Party as corrupt and instrumental in what they believe to be a fraudulent election.

Demands made online by a group of students included the dismissal of the electoral commission, media regulator and top editors of the state-run RTS TV for allegedly failing to allow a free and fair vote.
"I'm here because I think there is no democracy in this country anymore," Belgrade protester Mihajlo Saranovic told the Associated Press.
"I think something has to change and I am here to express my dissatisfaction with the current situation," he said.
The students said they would call for early parliamentary elections if their requests were not met.

Vucic interior minister Nebojsa Stefanovic said on Wednesday that the street protests are "highly political" and are orchestrated by opposition candidates who lost the election.
On Monday Vucic said: "Everyone has the right to be dissatisfied with the election results."
"It's fine as long as it's peaceful," said Vucic.
The opposition has claimed the election was marred by major irregularities, including media muzzling, voter intimidation and bribery.

The Holy Family Girls Soccer squad has worn Full 90 headgear during all training and game situations for the last 3 years. Although this headgear can not totally prevent concussions we feel it is an important part of a total concussion treatment and prevention program.
We recommend that our players continue to use the headgear during their club seasons to help prevent and lessen the severity of of head injuries.
Although Holy Family is the only High School squad that makes the wearing of the Full 90 headgear a requirement we are seeing a definite increase in individual wear by other players at other schools. We take the health and welfare of our players very seriously and we hope you join this bandwagon.

Damian Tells of His New Docudrama Series Spy Wars and His Take on Ian Fleming's Hero – Sept 21, 2019
Posted On September 21, 2019 September 21, 2019 Written By Gingersnap Comments Off on Damian Tells of His New Docudrama Series Spy Wars and His Take on Ian Fleming's Hero – Sept 21, 2019
The World of Espionage: Traitor or Hero?
by Dalya Alberge | The Guardian | September 21, 2019
His award-winning performances have included the hit espionage drama series Homeland and he is among actors tipped to take over from Daniel Craig as James Bond. Now Damian Lewis has taken on his first role in a television docudrama about spies, whom he describes as "often quite grubby and banal", a world away from the glamour of 007.
The Hollywood star presents and produces the eight-part show about some of the most significant espionage operations of the last 40 years. The series features undercover agents – some still identified only by their code names – who were persuaded to tell their stories for the first time.
"I find the different reasons for turning traitor or being a hero, depending on your view, are often quite grubby and banal. I'm interested [in] the motives of these spies. That's the series we've tried to make," Lewis said.
He observed that Ian Fleming's creation has romanticised espionage: "The great thing about Bond is how bad a spy he is, and how brilliant he is in recovering his position. Bond makes endless mistakes. That's what's fun about him, and then [he] has to do something extraordinary to recover himself."
The new series, entitled Damian Lewis: Spy Wars, features reconstructions exploring the cold war, the "war on terror" and recent espionage activities. Experts and former spies on all sides – the Mossad, CIA, KGB and MI6 – give insights into operations that shaped today's world.
Lewis has co-produced the series with his brother, Gareth Lewis, an award-winning writer and director, and Alaska TV, a British production company. The first episode airs on History on 7 October.
Spies include Oleg Gordievsky, the former KGB man who became one of the west's most valuable cold war agents, risking everything to pull the world back from the brink of nuclear annihilation, the documentary shows.
Discussing the spies' motives, Damian Lewis said: "There's an acronym – MICE… money, ideology, coercion, ego. Those tend to be the four ways in which you can subvert an agent and run him or her. Within our spy series, only Gordievsky really acts out of a purer ideology."
Lewis is particularly excited to have firsthand testimonies from key players who have never spoken publicly before. They include the handler of Vladimir Vetrov, one of the most important spies of the cold war, a high-ranking KGB officer and secret operative for the French intelligence service. Codenamed 'Paul', Vetrov's handler could not appear on camera, but recorded his testimony.
Paul recalls the first encounter with Vetrov in a Moscow market, describing how he arranged for his own wife to be out shopping and for Vetrov to "put the microfilm package from behind, without talking to her, without anything, in her basket".
Paul continues: "[Vetrov] thought that dead drops were bad because they actually attracted too much attention. So he preferred to have all the contacts in the car. He was giving me, in general, a big binder with a lot of papers. I was coming back and I was photocopying. And I had to have a new rendezvous one or two days later, to return the documents." The documentary notes that Vetrov passed thousands of classified documents to Paul, "the largest cache of stolen information ever to emerge from the Soviet Union".
In his narrative, Lewis describes Vetrov's story as a tale of "bravery and betrayal".
