6. Conflict resolution

The ability to persuade, negotiate, and resolve conflicts is crucial if you plan to move up. "You need to have the skill to develop mutually beneficial relationships in the organization so you can influence and persuade people," Sarikas says. "You need to be able to negotiate win-win solutions to serve the best interests of the company and the individuals involved."

Things that could tick off your waiter

If you want lemon, more napkins, a side of butter, and more water, great, let me do all that for you. If you ask me for each of these things one at a time in the same 2 minute period, go F&^% yourself. 

We have a menu for a reason. Chef offers specials for a reason. You are not the cook and this is not your kitchen. Making something vegetarian or switching the starch, no problem. Adding different sauces, baking instead of grilling, salmon instead of chicken, get out of my face with that stuff. Tell me what kind of meal you’re looking for and I’ll find it, or not. Just because you’re sitting at a table doesn’t mean I have to serve you exactly what you’re thinking of.

It may be time to replace...

1. Pillows

Replace after: One to two years

Besides turning flat with use, pillows soak up hair oil and skin follicles to make a nasty pillow stew of bacteria and disgusting dust mites. Replace your standard pillows after one year. Quality pillows will last up to two years, if you cover them in hypoallergenic-treated pillow-case protectors, which are designed to keep out dust mites and other allergens.

Answers you should know before your job interview

He or she wants to know how you would fit into the company and what your relevant job experience is. You might answer by asking theinterviewer what he’d like to know. Or you might talk about your education, the fact that you’re a team player, or whatever you think might be important to this particular company.

Happy Birthday Coca Cola!

6. Have you ever heard the myth that only two people in the entire world know the formula for Coke? Supposedly, two executives at Coca-Cola each know half of the recipe, ensuring that no one will ever know the whole thing and be able to sell the recipe. It’s a nice story, but it’s not true. The entire formula is kept in a bank vault in Atlanta, and more than two employees are familiar with it. They have to sign nondisclosure agreements before the secret is revealed to them, however.

10 Reasons to QUIT Facebook

7. Facebook is pulling a classic bait-and-switch

At the same time that they're telling developers how to access your data with new APIs, they are relatively quiet about explaining the implications of that to members. What this amounts to is a bait-and-switch. Facebook gets you to share information that you might not otherwise share, and then they make it publicly available. Since they are in the business of monetizing information about you for advertising purposes, this amounts to tricking their users into giving advertisers information about themselves.

via Gizmodo.


and 10 Reasons to NOT quit Facebook

Did I mention free marketing? Zbriceno says “… Keep FB ’cause all types of contact, events, photos, discussion posts, WORLDCAT book searching; one stop shop!” Your organization’s Facebook Page includes status updates, event calendars, comments, discussion boards, videos, pictures, instant messaging and private messaging. All ways to reach your community using Facebook (i.e., potentially 41% of your community) for free. Think about it.

Clowns... I hate clowns...

#10

Krusty wastes money almost as fast as he earns it: lighting his cigarettes with hundred-dollar bills; eating condor-egg omelets; spending huge sums on pornographic magazines; and losing a fortune gambling on everything from horse races to operas to betting against the Harlem Globetrotters. So why is Krusty on this list? For the simple reason that a person who takes copious amounts of drugs and booze, and sells products that kill (cereal with a jagged metal Krusty-O in each box) – can never be trusted!

Scariest Moments in NON-Horror Movies

24. The wrong man is disappeared

"The Bourne Ultimatum" (2007)

Directed by Paul Greengrass 

The dogged pursuit of Jason Bourne through jam-packed Waterloo Station is one of the "Bourne" trilogy's great set-pieces, but it's also a profoundly unnerving comment on the impunity with which covert government agencies operate in the "war on terror" era. The sequence climaxes with Paddy Considine, a journalist for a major British newspaper, being gunned down in broad daylight -- no surreptitiously cut brake cables or undetectable poisons here -- but even that's not as unsettling as the matter-of-fact manner in which an unsuspecting civilian who's been mistaken for Bourne is grabbed, drugged and thrown into a van, never to be heard from again. The abruptness with which an innocent bystander is converted to enemy combatant is breathtaking, not least because the film lets the moment pass unremarked upon. Bourne never mounts a rescue operation to rescue the poor soul, nor is there so much as a stray line indicating he's been found unharmed. In the government's pursuit of extralegal justice, ordinary citizens are just cannon fodder, and even the good guys don't have time to save them. - Sam Adams

How Brains Cope With Multitasking

French scientists now believe the brain has the capacity to work on two tasks at once, but that it can’t cope with more than two. That’s because the limited multitasking which people can carry out is based on a physical characteristic of the brain, which then becomes a limitation beyond two tasks.

Leaked "iPhone 4G"

People lose their iPhones all the time. But it's not often that a super-secret prototype of a not-yet-released iPhone is carelessly left on the floor of a local drinking establishment.

But apparently that's what happened, according to two different gadget blogs. That this would happen to a company like Apple, which takes secrecy and security of its products very seriously, is surprising.

Apple has not yet said there even is an iPhone 4G -- although it's a safe bet there will be based on the pattern of the past three years. Steve Jobs has said that new iPhone software is coming "this summer," but the company has stopped short of acknowledging that new hardware is in the works.

The downside of...FarmVille!

But how much virtual farming goods could you possibly buy in a couple of weeks? Try £900 – or about $1400 USD. A UK woman discovered last month that her 12-year-old son first emptied his own savings to pay for about a third of that, and then ran up the rest of the debt on her credit card. And this was only in about two weeks, starting on March 14 and going on until the end of the month when the mom discovered the charges.

Google's Prank This Year

Early last month the mayor of Topeka, Kansas stunned the world by announcing that his city was changing its name to Google. We’ve been wondering ever since how best to honor that moving gesture. Today we are pleased to announce that as of 1AM (Central Daylight Time) April 1st, Google has officially changed our name to Topeka.

(NOT) April Fool

Google is known for announcing ridiculous news stories, such as telepathic search engines and job openings on the moon, on April Fools’ Day. The thing is, when you are known for this sort of tom foolery, it makes it difficult to be taken seriously when you have real news on April 1^st.

Humorously enough, the company has decided to take advantage of the viral marketing people give to the news they announce that day, so they have actually made announcements for real products and services at the same time. In 2004 (the same year they created job listings for the moon), they announced the release of Gmail. While this may not seem all that funny, many people still thought it was a prank because the idea of a mail service with one full gigabyte of storage seemed preposterous –at the time, Hotmail only offered 2 megabytes. They followed the success of this announcement by announcing the increase of the mail service’s storage to two gigabytes the next year, also on April Fools’ Day.

Top 10 Places You Don't Want to Visit

I love travelling. I miss travelling. I want to see other places. Cities, countrysides. But these places, no way!

Ramree Island in Burma is a huge swamp home to 1000s of salt water enormous salt water crocodiles, the deadliest in the world. It is also home to malaria carrying mosquitos, and venomous scorpions.

The Zone of Alienation is the 30 km/19 mi exclusion zone around the site of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor disaster and is administrated by a special administration under the Ukrainian Ministry of Extraordinary Situations (Emergencies).

Off the shore of Brazil, almost due south of the heart of São Paulo, is a Ilha de Queimada Grande (Snake Island). The island is untouched by human developers, and for very good reason. Researchers estimate that on the island live between one and five snakes per square meter.
