The Benefits Of Sustainable Digital Printing

By Imelda Reid


Ever since historical times the channels of communications that man has been using has changed from the drawings used on stone tablets and scrolls to more evolved and detailed prints. Sustainability is a process that addressees the requirements of a current generation without influencing the ability of the future generation to access the resource. By adapting a sustainable digital printing approach in the print industry that combines sound environmental practices, a clean Eco system is able to be realized.

In spite of increases in consumer wants, a precautionary approach has to be taken pertaining resource utilization and energy consumption. Green Printing can be conducted in a way that addresses the wants and needs of current population without influencing the ability of future populations to access the resources. Through engagement in environmental friendly practices, a reduction and control of waste is achieved. In addition to this, pollution is controlled and energy is conserved.

Sustainability does not only entail a list engagements but it involves a multifaceted and unceasing procedures that demands a joint contribution of all branches in the printing business. For the manufacturing firms to stay active in the market whilst engaging sustainability, the method needs to be orderly and systemic.

Systematic involves methodizing the green technology in an ordered system for efficiency in coordination with other departments in the manufacturing industry. The green technology has to be incorporated in the existing system in a manner that it does not create an interference with any of the existing department in the industry. The technology has also to involve all of the existing departments hence it should be systemic.

The underlying concepts that are employed in green scientific know-how are fundamental in technology. They include the products which entails the design, the unprocessed materials used in processing. Process involves the processing of pre-prints, production of real print and the post print.

The envelope entails all the activities that offer support and take place at the manufacturing process, such as the structural support in the vicinity of the industry, the firm employees and all the processes of maintenance. All these form a basis in which environmental guidelines and responsibilities are formed and established around these arising issues.

The elements include maximizing recycling opportunities. The other elements include the harvesting of renewable energy from its sources and the conservation of scarce resources resulting in the reduction of waste. These may be achieved through the use of environmental friendly vegetable based inks on printing presses, which do not have any petroleum base emulsions, lower ink and consumable wastage, less make-ready paper waste and better energy ratings thus more energy efficiency.

Increasing the size of the press sheets can be used to minimize wastage of paper by putting several pieces on a large paper. The fiber of the paper should be Eco-friendly paper that is withdrawn from Eco-friendly paper fiber extracted from vegetation and not wood which is usually remains of food we eat, that is perfect for pulp making and also the re-use of water used by the paper-plating machine. Therefore, embracing usage of environmental friendly raw materials is ideal.

1 day Art of Influencing Skills - Getting others to take action, using influence

Introduction
 
In years gone by, most leaders sat close to their teams, alongside most of the resources they needed, didn't they?

Not so today, as organisational hierarchies are flatter and geographically spread. A leader's reach is now broad, their resources are dispersed across teams, and the concept of control has fundamentally shifted.

A leader's ability to execute is much more reliant on others than it used to be. This means that "Command & Control" managers are less effective in using status to drive results.

Those with ability to negotiate, persuade, and influence others; these are the people now labelled as "visionaries".

The bottom line is that we could all benefit from a little more influence, the power to get people on our side, couldn't we?

Put another way, when we're unable to influence people below, around, and especially above us, we know our struggles may affect the business outcomes we desire.

This Workshop therefore takes an emotionally intelligent approach to influence. Our focus pushes aside use of raw power, and similarly styled command & control approaches.

Instead, we replace them with more effective influencing strategies and tactics. We also consider situational awareness, and choices that help build positive relationships.
 
Workshop Objectives
 
Our intentions are to develop your capability to let go of your primal need for control. Instead, we'll encourage you to exercise influence by choosing from a range of influencing strategies and tactics.

You'll deploy these to help build relationships aligned with those outcomes that you desire. The thrust is less on yourself, more on those persons you wish to influence.

Emotional Intelligence or EQ sits well at the heart of this soft skills Workshop, as you consider the strengthening relationships between you self, and others.
 
 
 
 
Workshop Outlines
 
  • Using EQ to help ascribe the meaning of influence
  • Understanding the importance of asserting a simple "no"
  • Exploring the strategic use of power, and its consequences 3w
  • Clarifying outcomes, knowing why you want, what you want
  • Discussing relevance of a range of specific influence strategies
  • Exploring the core elements present in persuasive communications
  • Attending to those important non-verbal communication aspects
  • Reflecting upon people's personal decision making preferences
  • Aligning influencing styles, to the most influential approach
  • Using strategies to build constructive relationships
 
Facilitation Approach for Learning
 
This is an experiential Workshop, which emphasises engagement, interaction, and practice. Participants should expect short presentations that introduce content, experiential activities for skills practise, and group discussions for reflection that deepens their learning.
 
Who Should Attend This Workshop?
 
This one-day Workshop is designed for people who are leaders, managers or supervisors, who want to be more strategic and build influential relationships to achieve positive outcomes.
 
Testimonials
 
Interesting sessions to understand the concepts and be able to follow through the sessions with participation

An effective program to improve communication and build strong relationships in an organisation

Role-play forces us to come out of comfort zones, and this leads to inner self-awareness

I feel more equipped with simple yet powerful skills that will help me influence others

Patrick's humour brings fun, and this makes it a thoroughly enjoyable program

This workshop is using concepts, theories, and positive practical examples

I feel I would be able to align people's behaviour to me a lot more easily

It's good to learn something I can apply at work or at home

Quality delivery, and, enjoyable sessions of learning

I feel empowered, more confident, motivated again!
 
Your Workshop Facilitator: Mr. Patrick O'Brien, CMgr
 
 
With a constant appetite for change, Patrick came to realise one very important thing: it's the People that matter in business, personal development and growth counts. His learning delivery approach therefore focuses on building those important soft skills. Training thus scaffolds atop three firm foundations.

First, for learning to stick, it needs to be fun; enjoyment & engagement are precursors to absorption & adoption. Next, for learning to be relevant, it has to be real; it needs collaboration, openness, and a little intensity. Finally, for learning to be desirable, it must match expectations; it has to substantially deliver what it says "on the tin".

Patrick therefore designs Workshop experiences that masterfully combine Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) with a deep Coaching mentality. Both are invitingly interlaced using Improvisational techniques. His diverse background and experience also allow him to facilitate inclusive and valuable learning moments. These are highly engaging, empowering, and, enjoyable.

His life's journey has straddled different countries and cultures in Ireland, England, New Zealand and Singapore. He has worked his way through a variety roles, from individual contributor to Managing Director, in the corporate world. And, he has built considerable business experience along the way in working across sectors such as government, technology, manufacturing, finance, consulting, aviation, telecommunications and the Internet.

His formal education is well rounded: Honours in IT, Masters in Marketing and MBA in Finance. He is also a "Master Practitioner" of NLP, and an enthusiastic author with Articles regularly appearing in the local media. In whatever form you experience his work, you'll always feel his curiously cheerful sense of enjoyment; it shines through.

Patrick is an active member of many international Professional bodies, such as the Chartered Management Institute, the Chartered Institute of Marketing and the Institute of Directors. He is proud to be one of only a small handful of "Chartered Managers" in Asia.

With a warm Irish wit, a love of the "craic" and a big beaming smile, audiences in over twenty-five countries have found his disarmingly unpretentious and conversational approach to learning, to be refreshing and rewarding experiences.

By Annabelle Holman


Managing to write every term paper is a tough call to most students, and they should consider hiring professional help. The good thing is that, there several professional companies offering these services in the industry. What a student needs to do is just conduct a detailed search as there are some unreliable companies. When searching for assistance with custom written essays, carry out web queries.

The present world and lifestyle demands good education. This is the major reason why parents and guardians are required to send their children to school to the highest level. In learning institutions, learners are given various set of class work to gauge how well they have mastered different subjects. Such assignments can at times overwhelm learners, and it is a noble idea to acquire professional writing assistance.

There are many professional writers available on different websites that help students with their papers. Though students are encouraged to do these papers on their own, there are times that help is really necessary. This kind of help gives the students ample time to prepare for the main exams.

When searching for good essay writing assistance, it is essential to find a reliable company. When you search online, it will be easy to locate many firms that provide these services. What should be known is that, certain service providers are just in this industry for the cash. In this regard, you should make sure to carry out a very comprehensive search. You also need to look at certain aspects, which assist in finding the best firm for these services.

However, you still need to be sure of the qualifications of professionals handling your academic work.

The right company to hire for the writing of your essays must have been in the market for a long time. This should be considered because you are looking at experience. During the search, you will find several companies in this business, but just a few have been around for a long time. Do not hire newer companies to handle your projects even if they offer lower charges. It is also necessary to look at the sample papers before hiring any company.

Business Process Re-Engineering [20 - 21Aug'14]

What it takes to remain competitive in today’s turbulent,

Ferociously-competitive, customer-driven business environment …

The RADICAL redesign of business processes for DRAMATIC improvement !

Business Process Re-Engineering is a comprehensive, powerful methodology which re-designs a business process from a clean-slate, based on customer requirements.  In a nut-shell, it involves:

1.      Mapping the CURRENT process

2.      Comprehensively UNDERSTANDING customer REQUIREMENTS

3.      Reviewing current measurements & performance

4.      Setting stretch goals

5.      RE-designing the process

6.      Designing new measurements

7.      Implementing the new process

8.      Evaluating, optimising and iterating

9.      Taking measurements of the new process

10.   Institutionalising the new process

Its back-to-basics, customer-focused approach guarantees optimal results which impact all KEY strategic business KPIs – productivity, cost, error rates, quality, customer satisfaction, cycle-time and the like  -  concurrently in a mutually reinforcing manner.

The Manufacturing industry has Six-Sigma and Lean Production …

All that the service industry needs is Reengineering  -  a sharp WEAPON that cuts through ALL KPIs  -  quality, cost, cycle time, customer satisfaction, productivity  -  in one fell swoop !

The hierarchically and functionally-organised structure of today’s business organisation, with its highly specialised, task-oriented work force … may have served us well for the past two centuries … BUT, is clearly and certainly lacking the agility and flexibility to adapt to the challenges presented by today’s business environment  – rapid explosive changes, relentless competitive pressures and increasingly diverse and difficult customer demands!

5 Functions Women Participate As To Why Romance Is Sacred Compatibility For The Sexes

By Sharron Cantu


For every relation to grow there should be significant level of love being exhibited. This is without saying the most sought out feeling that most couples look for. Good communication and trust all come second to this. For that reason many couples fight to experience the same. This text will give the lay down on how women can play a role in making it a success because romance is sacred compatibility for the sexes.

Every couple wants to be best in town. Funny enough those who do not necessarily look for love whenever they are in a relationship, subliminally admire the fact of loving and being secure. Communication is what the admired couples use. The chemistry or spark that couples want can easily be gotten from having a free flowing conversation. Be yourself do not be lyrically correct in what you say and he will love you for that.

Man love food. Learn your man, he lies in this category then listen. At the end of the day he will have to eat. It is not wrong to head to the restaurant for a dinner or a date but be good also in the kitchen. Do not try the hardest recipes just so you can impress your man if for real you do not know how to cook them. The way to his heart is by the stomach. Use the simplest way possible. If he is kind enough he will appreciate the gesture.

Have a sense or romance. Be cozy in this field no need to do crazy stuff. He only wants you to believe in the little romantic things he may be doing to you. Be appreciative and turn the game to his court. Show him you too are romantic this attracts men. It will make him center his attention to you. You need that.

Men are providers in nature and take so much credit in doing well to you. They will buy you gifts, flowers and other pleasantries at first. This is to win your heart and see that smile that will make them know they are doing well. Return the favor ones in a while just to make to your man realize that you too care about the relation. Do not exhaust his effort but rejuvenate his strength to keep on going.

Center on the minute things like welcoming him home after he has had a long day at work. After a tiresome day the last thing a man wants is a place where he can relax. Do not make your home that place he should not be. This will make him head straight to the bars and night clubs. If you have kids, it is wise to include them in the grand welcoming.

The obvious part which is the bedroom matters. This is among the top reasons why a partner may cheat. As a woman you should out do your man. If this is problem try putting the little you know into practice like sexy gestures and signals. All men are the same. He is not a monk remember.

The main thing is to try new things. Be smart and learn your man fist before anything else. A good relationship needs romance and as a woman you hold the key.

1 Day Influential Writing - Writing for Influence and Impact

Introduction
 
At different times, customers, suppliers, bosses, colleagues, friends, and family members, each place different communication demands on us, don't they?

They force us to interact, which means we oftentimes need to respond. At other times, we ourselves may need instead, to initiate the conversation.

Though we might prefer to speak to them directly, voice-to-voice may not always be possible. In these cases, we most probably need to write.

So, just how effective are your written communications?

Do they always achieve what you want them to?

Would you wish they could be improved?

To be effective, writing needs to be purposeful, and engaging. It first needs to motivate people to read, as only then, can it influence them to act.

Influential writing needs to go beyond logic, and hook into the emotions: it needs to affect the reader.

This Workshop therefore takes an emotionally intelligent approach to writing. Our focus places considerable attention on engaging your reader, so they read your words.

This is reinforced with a strong belief that good writing, (whether on paper, email or text) begins by understanding others. Only then, can you empathise, build rapport, and move them in influential ways.
 
Workshop Objectives
 
Our intentions are to foster an emotionally intelligent approach to writing. It is an approach that is especially beneficial for those who don't always like writing.

You'll use the skills to reframe your concept of writing. The emphasis helps move your writing mindset from that of a "tiresome chore", to one of a "creative challenge".

Emotional Intelligence sits well at the heart of this soft skills Workshop. EQ will be used to motivated people to read your words, and, influence them into action having read them.
 
 
 
 
Workshop Outlines
 
  • Clarifying the purpose & intentions for writing
  • Exploring the core elements in a persuasive script
  • Considering appropriate styles and structures for writing
  • Selecting the style to help build rapport with your audience
  • Attending to grammatical structure to maintain their interest
  • Connecting positively with your readers by embracing stories
  • Examining ways to succinctly shape your stories towards action
  • Achieving a response, in more productive, and influential ways
  • Selecting the most appropriate channel to write your response
  • Adapting the writing to suit what's relevant for that channel
 
Facilitation Approach for Learning
 
This is an experiential Workshop, which emphasises engagement, interaction, and practice. Participants should expect short presentations that introduce content, experiential activities for skills practise, and group discussions for reflection that deepens their learning.
 
Who Should Attend This Workshop?
 
This one-day Workshop is designed for people at all levels who want to feel more comfortable, and become more influential, when writing.
 
Testimonials
 
Course sets out communication techniques in a very comfortable manner, and the trainer is able to sustain interest

We learn that we have the ability to change with improvement in soft skills relating to communication

I now have a broader understanding of the subject, and am more prepared to practice what I learnt

Kudos to the many practical experiences that reinforced the learning

He is one of the most engaging facilitators I've come across

A great course, that is not comparable to other courses

Simple concepts, that can make a difference fast

Happy, and feel that I've achieved something

I will definitely recommend this to my boss

Enriching and very practical

How To Become An Aeronautic Technical Writer And Editor

By Sharron Cantu


Whether writing training manuals, system guides for programmers or user guides for pilots and other employees, there is often a need for individuals to write about aviation. Writers in this field often write from documents, drawings, proposals and specifications. One reason it is important to hire a high quality aeronautic technical writer and editor as these type documents can be quite technical and hard to decipher.

While it is important to hire an experienced technical writer, most individuals can adapt to different subject matter. The actual writing experience is often more important than previously published content though some positions require direct experience. Still, there are others which with some brief training that most anyone trained as a technical writer or editor can provide.

Submitting quality error free work is essential to success. Without the use of spell check and other programs to assure quality authentic documentation, many clients would have been lost over the years. These are some of the most important aspects of any technical writing and editing job whether in the aviation industry or otherwise.

Salaries in this area are often some of the best in the field. There are some cases in which the industry may have entry level positions which are closer to minimum wage. These positions often pay less when first starting and are quite rare. Still, a good way for interested individuals to break into the business without a degree or experience.

Experience is often key when it comes to working in senior technical writing roles. These higher level positions often hold a great deal more responsibility than those at the entry level. Individuals working in these areas are often required to meet with others to determine development ideas, processes, guidelines and scheduling. After which, writers convert the information into easy to understand training materials, quick-start user and system guides.

It is often a combination of education and experience which lands a writer a job in the aviation industry. Recent college graduates can often find a number of intern oriented positions at different airlines. Others, whether having worked for an airline in the past, or otherwise may want to freshen up on old and learn any new software product upgrades before attending an interview.

Individuals looking to work in the industry also need to understand that background checks and drug testing are a part of the process. In the U. S., the departments of Defense, Homeland Security and Transportation generally oversee these positions. It is for this reason, drug testing may be performed upon application as well at random times during daily, weekly and monthly work cycles.

A technical writer or editor with or without experience in the aviation industry need understand the responsibility one holds in writing this type of documentation. While a computer glitch at a local software company can often be fixed by a programmer. Whereas, the same mistake in the aviation industry could pose severe health and safety risks if the problem were not corrected before using the information.

Spells cause harm to specific places or individuals. Spell victims are said to be hexed or cursed. There are many types of spells that can be cast on individual.To break a spell, services of professionals might be required though one can deal with less powerful spells.

Chaos or entropy spells can have far reaching consequences on an individual since it causes bad luck and in extreme circumstances death. The binding spell makes people unable to make rational independent decisions.

This causes an inability to act in the target. It may manifest psychologically as depression or anxiety, or it may operate by simply making none of your plans come to anything. If you find yourself drastically unable to act upon your choices in the world, then you might be under a binding. A special purpose spell is generally spectacular in its results. If you witness dozens of rats in your house, there is nothing subtle about it.

Before the breaking starts, it is important to be sure that there are supernatural forces at play. A few unfortunate experiences or having a awful time is not enough prove that you hexed or cursed. Some of these occurrences might be purely coincidental or due to self-sabotage and thus not requiring a breaking exercise. A self-examination exercise should come prior to the breaking ceremony. You do not want to squander valuable time breaking nonexistent spells. Verify you concerns by visiting local pagan groups, divination or using tarok cards.

You might want to first undertake a deep self-examination. Asking yourself if what happening is simply by coincidence, magic or self-sabotage would be a good start off point. If you are certain that magic is at play, you can verify through ways like divination method, tarok cards or visit a local pagan group.

If you resolve to use a living creature as your target, then it would be important to ensure the temperature of the water suits it. Invoke the help of the ancestors, gods and water and earth creatures. While uttering these words, ensure you are confident and you meditate fully on this. In your utterances, implore them to restore you in terms of balance and health and to purify your target of any evil or magic. Pour huge quantities of salt in the water.

The breaking might take up to ten minutes. Doing the exercise privately is integral in guaranteeing its success. Finally thank the creatures whose help you had invokes; the gods, ancestors and the rest. The simple curse breaker is however not that much power especially when breaking spells of far much greater scope and power.

If the simple breaking spell exercise proves to be an effort in futility, seek the services of professionals who have got advanced training and experience Those attempting to break spells for their first time might find it rather scary. However, magical techniques are simple to apply even to beginners.
