From The Bit Bucket: (A)Musings on Engineering, Supervision, and Management | by Francis Porretto Feb. 28, 2010 | 37836 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: Francis W. Porretto was born in 1952. Things went steadily downhill from there. Fran is an engineer and fictioneer who lives on the east end of Long Island, New York. He's short, bald, homely, has bad acne and crooked teeth. His neighbors hold him personally responsible for the decline in local property values. His life is graced by one wife, two stepdaughters, one dog, five cats, too many power tools to list, and an old ranch house furnished in Early Mesozoic style. His 12,000 volume (and growing) personal library is considered a major threat to the stability of the North American tectonic plate. Publishing industry professionals describe Fran's novels as "Unpublishable. Horrible, but unpublishable all the same." (They don't think much of his short stories, either.) He's thought of trying bribery, but isn't sure he can afford the $3.95. Time was, all Fran's fictions WERE free to whoever might care to read them. Back then, he wanted readers more than revenue. However, that has changed, along with certain other of his circumstances, so he now asks what he hopes you'll consider a modest price for his novels and stories. (The novelette "Farm Girl" is still free. A loss leader, if you will.) For an external review of "Chosen One" by Martin McPhillips, author of the blockbuster thriller "Corpse In Armor," please go here: http://newpaltzjournal.com/?p=1978 For Martin's review of "On Broken Wings," please go here: http://newpaltzjournal.com/?p=1994 For his review of "Sledgehammer Concerto," please go here: http://newpaltzjournal.com/?p=2023 "Chosen One," "On Broken Wings," "The Sledgehammer Concerto," "Which Art In Hope," and "A Dash Of Spice" are also available as paperbacks, through Amazon.

Predicting the 8 Billion Dollar Man | by David Lee CT Feb. 22, 2010 | 44761 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: The history of BrainCapital technologies has its humble beginnings in 1988 . David Lee secured a Singapore Merchant Banking Scholarship which led to stints in Goldman Sachs New York and trips to Chicago Trading Houses . This helped to incubate an idea to develop a machine driven program-trading software for foreign exchange David with help from scientists came up with the first version a couple of years later and subsequently in April 1993, made a presentation of the model and findings at the SECOND ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS ON WALL STREET. The underlying pattern recognition technology has undergone much refinement ever since. Between 1993 and 1997, the software was used extensively by program traders at Hong Kong Bank, Swiss Bank Corp and BHF Bank. Subsequently , a governmental grant and venture capital group funding by Boston based VC followed in 1998 . Since then , Braincapital technologies has been used by several MNC banks and also a Top 10 program trader who traded 12 percent of stocks on the NYSE. The technologies use state of the art artificial intelligent technologies like neural nets , fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms . Through millions of computational intensive mathematical calculations , the technologies output a 6 step best scenario for each individual stock , bond or currency .Statistically , it can be verified that the technologies has a 65 to 80 percent accuracy rate of predicting price momentum ( speed of trend ) for intraday , daily and weekly time spans. Viceroy International Limited in 2002 completed the 100 percent buy back of BrainCapital technologies . |

People Upgrade | by Richard Parkes Cordock Feb. 15, 2010 | 31540 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: Richard Parkes Cordock is the founder of Enterprise Leaders Worldwide. Using the principles of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), the science of success, Richard met face-to-face with over 50 UK award-winning business leaders to decode their leadership styles. Through these digitally recorded interviews, Richard created the highly acclaimed mentoring programme – Millionaire MBAâ„¢ which is used by over 23,000 entrepreneurs around the world. He later used the same teaching principles to develop Enterprise MentorTM (EM), which allows companies to engage with their employees, by taking mentoring out of the boardroom and into their workforce (at an affordable price). Richard is the author of five business books: Business Upgrade, and Millionaire Upgrade, both were published by Capstone Wiley and both were former WH Smith Business Books of the Month. More recently, he has written Profit Upgrade, People Upgrade and All Employees are Marketers. Richard speaks to companies about employee engagement, leadership, creating an enterprising/entrepreneurial culture, how to grow your business through your people – and how to keep your customer at the forefront of your business. He is an MBA and FCCA and lives in Bath (UK) with his wife and two children. Here’s what other business leaders are saying about Richard’s books and programmes: “The principles of success apply equally whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur, chief executive of a large plc or simply looking for inspiration for your own personal life. Here’s where you start, by reading this book.†Allan Leighton – Chairman Royal Mail “Every employee has the ability to inspire change and innovation in their organisation†The Independent “It took me a long time to learn this stuff – I wish I’d been on that plane 30 years ago !†Simon Woodroffe OBE – YO! Sushi & Dragons Den “If you want a toolkit to help you become a successful entrepreneur – read this book. Then put it into practice.†Duncan Bannatyne OBE – Bannatyne Leisure & Dragons Den “Everything in business is a learning experience. I should know! I’d recommend all would-be entrepreneurs to read this book and be inspired to boldly set out on your own entrepreneurial journey. You won’t regret it.†Rachel Elnaugh – Founder of Red Letter Days and Panelist on Dragons’ Den “Entertaining, Inspiring, Insightful. I highly recommend it†Michelle Mone – MJM International “Originally, Richard decoded entrepreneurs and unpicked their mindset. With Millionaire Upgrade, he has put it all back together again through IBELIEVE and a compelling story. Very clever and a must read for any budding entrepreneur!†Rene Carayol MBE – Leadership Guru “In a world where entrepreneurs have taken on the cachet of celebrity and are as often to be found portrayed in movies and in the gossip columns as they are seen with dirt under the finger nails, it is refreshing to find a book that describes the key difference between the entrepreneur and the rest – attitude. So often in life a cigarette paper’s thickness separates success from failure and Richard has written a book that perfectly captures this and suggests a way of thinking that can transform the tin of dog food into a thoroughbred racehorse. Read it, enjoy it, steal mercilessly from it, add your own ingredient X and bring to the boil. I wish you success.†Tim Smit CBE – Eden Project “…captures the essence of what it takes to be successful in anything you choose to do. The rules of success are timeless and simply explained so you can apply them in your own business or personal life.†BJ Cunningham – Founder of Death Cigarettes “…you will realise it is actually a book about leadership, leadership of self. I encourage all Naked Leaders to read this bookâ€. David Taylor – Author Naked Leader “The difference between success and failure in business is essentially down to entrepreneurial leadership. There is a mindset and persistence that sets successful entrepreneurs apart and it is clearly communicated in this book. Essential reading.†Martin Allison – Business Banking, RBS “Just reading the introduction I knew it was going to be good. Read, re-read and re-read again. It is all in here.†Mike Southon – Co-author The Beermat Entrepreneur, The Boardroom Entrepreneur and Sales on a Beermat “If you want success, then miss this at your peril. What Richard has done here, is make extremely accessible some very smart thinking and behaviours of highly successful people, which can be learned. This stuff works.†Michael Brook, Managing Director, Professional Excellence Training and Development “Pioneers are always looking for succinct advice from experts. After submersing himself in the world of the entrepreneur, Richard gives us the answers in an intriguing role play between two characters, with a genuine methodology that you can apply to your own business. You can read it on a plane journey, but the benefits will stay with you a long time after you’ve landed.†Jim Woods, Entrepreneur “The wisdom of real entrepreneurship in one volume. Get this book to upgrade your ambitions or stay true to the course you have set. Enjoy and be inspired.†Tom Butler-Bowdon – Author of “50 Success Classics: Winning Wisdom for Work and Life From 50 Landmark Books “I think you’ve captured the passion, the sheer verve and energy of some of the best entrepreneurs in Britain. I wish it had been available when I started†Lord Harris – Founder CarpetRight “It’s not often that something on the business shelves succeeds in winning hearts and minds. This one does, and more! It really is the kind of thing that can make a difference†Lord Bilimoria – Founder Cobra Beer |

Don't Quit Your Day Job | by Leland Kropp Feb. 11, 2010 | 19469 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: My name is Leland S. Kropp Jr. and I am the Fonder of the Eureka Merchants Task Force. I started my own business in 1994 and during my this time I became involved with Business Network International (BNI) and was involved in numerous Chambers of Commerce. I was very successful within the BNI organization and was hired as a director where I helped grow their organization from 33 chapter to over 110. I had spent the better part of 10 years working with BNI helping small and medium size businesses learn networking skills. I left BNI because I had lost focus on my own business. In 2007 I was approached by the executive director of the Eureka Chamber of Commerce, she had know of my history with in the BNI organization and she recruited me into helping grow their chamber. During this time we put together monthly classes where I would teach networking skills to the members of the Eureka Chamber. As we started these classes I began to taken notes of what I hoped to accomplish during these classes, these notes turned into my first book "Don't Quit Your Day Job" which is a book that teaches networking skills and how to maximize networking group and chambers. In 2008 I was voted onto the Eureka Chamber Board of Directors and then elected by the board to be President. As President I instituted some of the best aspects of BNI into the Chamber forum. One of my favorite accomplishments was when I put together the Eureka Merchants Task Force which at the time was under the umbrella of the Chamber. The projects that the Task Force pursued required faster action and more attention then the chamber was capable of giving so in the winter of 2008 the board of director voted for me to make the Eureka Merchants Task Force it own entity. The EMT put together programs that were designed to bring the citizens of Eureka into the businesses of Eureka. Our Bingo encouraged students of Eureka to visit local business in the hope of winning scholarships. We gave three scholarships in the amount of $3000. Our next project was called "Discover Eureka" which was geared towards the adults of our town, we award $3000 in "Eureka Bucks" which was money that could only be spent in our town. We also held a "Town Texas Hold'em" tournament where business were allowed to purchase spots on any of the faces of the 52 playing cards. $1500 in Eureka bucks were given to the first, second and third place winners. As of today the Eureka Merchants Task Force is taking networking to the next level. With the knowledge gained over the years we are proud to announce the start of the "Eureka Business Alliance" We have taken the best aspects of Chamber groups and Networking groups to form a very powerful home town networking group designed to focus on our town. By developing networking team that require members to live in or work within a five miles of the town that they are members. Portions of the money raised by these group will go into a larger scholarship fund for the children of town. I believe in the power of networking, and I believe in the power and the good of small home towns. I believe that if we work together we can survive any challenge that fall in our path. |
