While technology can enable the teams to schedule this meeting, have a video call between these teams sitting in different offices and work on a common slide show or a spreadsheet, the organization needs to have a culture that encourages such interactions and has processes to monitor and regulate the information exchange.
In a way, we have literally been collaborating for a long time. When we’re emailing, essentially, we’re collaborating with our colleagues, customers, partners or vendors.
Email is the de-facto standard when it comes to collaboration tools. We use email all the time to request our colleagues to send something to us, do a task, share important information or update the status on a task. However, with the complexities of business practices ever increasing, traditional email needs to be reinforced with certain collaboration tools for effective interactions, ones which save time and effort and make the whole interaction process fun.
Let us look at 5 important collaboration tools that organizations can adopt based on their needs and thus improve their productivity.
This is useful for technical support or customer service teams which deal with hundreds or thousands of customers.
• Assign responsibility for a topic to a member of the group.
• Assign tags to customer queries. Example: “sales enquiry”, “feature request”, “service issue”, “upgrade request”, etc.
• Escalate and track the ticket associated with the query to other teams/professionals.
• Filter topics according to tag, resolution status, or assignee.
• Mark a topic as resolved.
Mailbox delegation lets some another person in your organisation access and send emails on one’s behalf.
The owner of a mailbox can delegate a person ‘Restricted Access’ of his mailbox.
For example, a delegate can view emails only from a particular list of senders or having a specific subject line.
The access can be limited to only reading and replying to emails, while restricting deletion and forwarding the emails.
Email sent by a delegate can display the account owner’s name along with a tag indicating that it has been sent by a delegate on behalf of the owner.
Calendar Sharing allows for users to invite people inside their organisation to see their calendar and, if proper access is granted, to even add or edit events.
Users who share their calendars can specify how much detail the recipients can see and/or modify. Calendar sharing is done only between people of an organisation.
• You want to share your calendar with a set of people, like your team members or your partners.
• You want others to schedule events on your behalf.
Besides sharing of calendars, people in organizations can see free or busy information of other people and can schedule events accordingly.
Document collaboration tools allow team members to view, edit and work simultaneously on a document without sending emailing attachments to each other all day. This requires your documents to be on the cloud. This way, you can access your files on any device. You won’t panic if your laptop goes down! Once you create a document it’s easy to share it with others via email or a shareable link. You can also secure the document by restricting edit permissions to certain people and mandate a 2nd factor authentication like OTP via SMS/Email for certain users. You can work on a document with your teammates simultaneously over the cloud using a standard web browser and see who is editing what in real time.
Users can save their documents in the cloud storage drive and organize them in folders and sub folders. Other features like searching through your cloud drive for files, viewing all files shared by & with you are standard features of the document collaboration tool.
Group chats have been gaining popularity. No one likes to be in long email exchanges with many people. It’s just too cumbersome to go through a long email thread just to figure out if you have been addressed to perform some task or handle some responsibility.
Group chat tools take away the fatigue of attending to long group conversations. You can be alerted when someone addresses you or sends you a message. People can also share documents and media through group chat. Moreover, people in organisations can create chat rooms on the fly, invite others, and assign permissions to who can send what to whom.
With audio and video group chat across devices, teams can communicate better in real time, even share presentations with clients or vendors, share their screen and conduct online demos.
There are many more business email collaboration tools that organizations worldwide are using to help their employees team up better.
In India, though, owing to poor internet speeds and internet bandwidth issues, many of these tools may not be effectively deployed.
The five collaborative tools mentioned here, however, have become critical to ensuring the setting up of a modern, connected workplace.
So when choosing your business email solutions provider, do check if these tools are a part of what’s being offered to you.
Congratulations to John Prescott (Deal on warming needs more sacrifices, 8 August) for finally making the point that for emission cuts to be fair they need to be measured per capita, not per country. The current emphasis on China and India's carbon emissions is not only unmathematical but also smacks unpleasantly of finding an excuse to restrict the growth of any country likely to become an economic rival to us.
If Prescott truly has fairness at heart, he now needs to go one step further and name the currently unmentionable, and curiously unknown, fact that the countries with the greatest per capita carbon emissions are not, as most people assume, those of north America and western Europe, but those of the Gulf States. But are we about to start putting diplomatic pressure on them?
Despite campaigning strongly on the environment and being elected on a wave of votes from Australians despairing of John Howard's climate change denialism, Australia's prime minister, Kevin Rudd, heavily lobbied by the coal industry, is now committed only to an "unconditional" 5% cut by 2020. And this from one of the world's wealthiest countries and greatest polluters.
Under pressure, the Australian government has recently promised that it will increase this target to 25% - but only if "the world" agrees to stabilise levels of CO2 equivalent in the atmosphere at 450 parts per million or lower. Unfortunately, it is 350 ppm that is seen by scientists as the level beyond which climate change will become "runaway".
The health care mandate known as ObamaCare requires many employers to provide health insurance to employees who work at least 30 hours per week. But now, however, some reports are surfacing that even local governments across the country are finding a way around what they fear could be exorbitant costs of implementation by simply cutting back on their employees' hours.
"It is changing the workplace profoundly," said Fox Business Network's Stuart Varney on Friday. "It is hurting lower-paid people in particular."
He added, "now, we've got cities, towns and states across the country going to part-time work instead of full time work because of ... ObamaCare."
MUSCATINE, Iowa - Starting Monday, November 21, 2016 Muscatine Police will start using a new tool to catch speeders and police say it's something they want drivers to be aware of.
The Muscatine Police Department now has a new member on their team and it comes on four wheels.
The black, Chevy Sonic isn't a cop car but it's keeping an eye on drivers who might be breaking the law.
“You can set it up for 24 to 48 hours in that area and hold the people accountable for speeding and targeting those who are speeding,” says Muscatine Police Sargent, Vince Motto.
Once the unmarked car's hours are up in one spot it moves to the next.
“I’m hoping this will be our saving grace,” says Julia Strause who lives on Roscoe Avenue in Muscatine.
Julia says speeding on her street is a constant problem. Her husband even wrote the city asking for the speed car to patrol their street.
“I welcome it. Let’s find the positive in it. It will save the force another person to patrol the area especially when you think of taxes and wages,” added Julia.
Driver’s pocket books could take a hit if the car clocks them going 11 miles per hour over the posted speed limit. Tickets cost $75 a pop.
“Hopefully the car just being there will get the speed reduced in those areas,” says Sargent Motto.
All the equipment in the car is owned by a private company. Since the car was given to the department and the systems are run by the private company, there is no added cost to taxpayers. Drivers can always look on the city's website to find out where it will be parked.
“Everyone will have an idea of where the vehicle is. Transparency is our biggest concern. We are not out to write as many tickets as possible,” added Sargent Motto.
Sargent motto says when the car is parked, it doesn't run on gas. The radar and camera system all operate on a battery separate from the car battery.

For Vishnu (Prabhudheva), widely regarded as India's best dancer, dance is more than a passion - it's the reason he lives! So when he finds himself thrown out from the swish dance academy he himself set up, by his manipulative business partner, it feels like the oxygen has been sucked out from the air he breathes. Heart-broken, Vishnu decides to give up dance and leave Mumbai forever. However the night before his departure he witnesses a most amazing sight - a group of dancers preparing for the upcoming Ganpati Dance Battle - an annual festival that pits Mumbai's best dance groups against each other. Watching the raw talent of these amazing dancers helps Vishnu arrive at a decision - he will take this disparate group under his wing, help them overcome their personal rivalries and past demons and turn them into India's best dance squad!
From India's biggest film studio, UTV Motion Pictures, and renowned choreographer & director, Remo D'souza comes India's first dance film in 3D - a spectacular entertainer that proves yet again that if you dare to dream, impossible is nothing!
When space tourists finally launch on Virgin Galactic's commercial spaceships, they could look like extras from the 1979 James Bond film "Moonraker," according to exclusive information obtained by SPACE.com.
Unlike Russia's Sokol spacesuit or NASA's bright orange space shuttle launch and re-entry pressure suits, Virgin Galactic's customers are to wear personalized flight suits, soft-soled shoes and a soft flight helmet that contains headphones and a microphone. The helmet will be able to have an oxygen mask attached, in the event of an emergency.
In the film nominated for an Oscar for its zero-g special effects, "Moonraker's" space shuttle flight scenes saw 007 actor Roger Moore wear a flight suit and soft helmet with headphones and a microphone.
In the movie, European billionaire Hugo Drax launches shuttles from South America to send carefully chosen "perfect" people into space where they will create a master race to repopulate the world. In real life, European billionaire Sir Richard Branson plans to launch his SpaceShipTwo suborbital spacecraft from North America carrying passengers paying hefty ticket prices.
"Our customers will certainly have customized flight attire and a communications suite," Virgin Galactic's chief executive officer George Whitesides told SPACE.com. "Personal protective equipment is being studied as a part of the flight test program."
The spaceline's chief medical officer, Dr. James Vanderploeg, explained the reason for choosing soft soled shoes and a soft helmet for Virgin Galactic flights. The padding and lack of hard edges will help ensure the six floating space tourists inside SpaceShipTwo's business-jet sized cabin interior don't injure themselves or their fellow passengers, Vanderploeg told SPACE.com at the International Academy of Astronautic's Private Human Access to Space Symposium in Arcachon, France this summer.
Whitesides agreed. "We're putting a lot of thought into how we make sure the zero-g portion of our customers' experience is safe," he said. The flight wear "is an area where we continue to look at different options."
Whitesides and his chief medical officer hope their customers' spacesuits can one day benefit from built-in health monitoring devices. Vanderploeg is researching such technology for a U.S. Federal Aviation Administration program, where he is participating as a faculty member of the University of Texas Medical branch at Galveston, not through Virgin Galactic.
Spaceport America, the commercial spaceflight facility in New Mexico where Virgin Galactic will make its flights, will have an emergency medical team waiting to deal with any in-flight emergencies and to transport customers to a medical facility immediately after SpaceShipTwo lands, if necessary, Vanderploeg added.
Branson has enjoyed an association with the global brand that is 007. Branson had a cameo appearance in the 2006 Bond film "Casino Royale," and Daniel Craig's Bond flew Virgin Atlantic in the last film, "Quantum of Solace." A Virgin Atlantic television ad shown worldwide in late 2010 aped the Bond movies' title sequence style. However, Branson might not want to be associated with the 23rd Bond film to hit cinemas in October 2012, as its rumoured title is "Skyfall."
The fire department arrived at the house at 832 Laurel Hill Road at 3:27 a.m. and found smoke coming from the home, according to Lexington Fire Department Battalion Chief Joe Best.
Battalion Chief Jason Wells said the four victims were found and brought out of the home in less than 10 minutes.
By 3:44 a.m., the fire was under control. More than 60 firefighters responded to the scene to put out the fire and provide emergency treatment to the victims.
Fire department investigators were still at the house late Saturday morning, and the cause of the fire remained unknown as of Saturday evening.
Best said it doesn’t appear that the house had any working smoke alarms.
“This is a tragic fire. Chief (Kristin) Chilton and I are keeping this family in our prayers,” Mayor Jim Gray said in a news release.
Jeffrey and Nancy Brown’s Facebook pages indicate that they operated Trim Master’s Lawn & Tree Care and owned rental property. Both said they attended Lafayette High School and the University of Kentucky.
In addition to daughter Cassie and son Wiley, the Browns have a 13-year-old daughter, according to their Facebook profiles.
Cassie and Wiley had just finished second grade at Picadome Elementary, according to an email that Principal Jennifer Hutchison sent to Picadome families Saturday afternoon. Grief counselors will be at Picadome on Monday morning at 8:30 to talk to students about the news.
“Many members of our Picadome family have been at the hospital today and I know you will join me in keeping everyone touched by this tragedy close in thought and prayer,” Hutchison wrote.
LANDRUM, SC-- The family of Rev. Robert Lee Price will receive friends from 12:00-2:00 PM Tuesday, January 29, 2008 at Petty Funeral Home. Funeral services will follow at 2:00 PM at the funeral home chapel conducted by Rev. David Eubanks, Rev. John Parker and Rev. Terry Rainey.
Burial will be in Evergreen Memorial Gardens.
The whole exchange spoke volumes about the duo’s close relationship. Netanyahu was basking in Trump’s recent political victory: The news, revealed a day prior by Trump’s attorney general, that the special counsel probe into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election had concluded that the president did not conspire with the Kremlin. Never mind the indictments and criminal charges that ensnared a host of Trump’s colleagues and associates over the past two years, or the efforts this week by the administration and Republican lawmakers to keep the full report from public view. Now was the time to celebrate, not least with Golani wine.
And Trump returned the favor. On Monday, he signed a proclamation officially granting U.S. recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which was seized by Israel from Syria in 1967 and legislatively annexed in 1981. While the international community still considers it occupied territory, Trump’s declaration, like other Israel-related decisions made by his administration, reversed decades of U.S. policy.
Critics warned that Trump was grandstanding on symbolism while setting a troubling new precedent that could justify other countries expanding their territory through conquest. But, as my colleagues noted, all those considerations played second fiddle to another imperative — the delivery of a “political gift” to Netanyahu, who faces a tough battle ahead of Israeli national elections on April 9.
It was yet another example, analysts argued, of how the two right-wing leaders reinforce each other across the oceans. Trump has boosted Netanyahu with a succession of one-sided moves welcomed by the Israeli right, including the White House’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and its stripping of funds from Palestinian aid programs. Netanyahu, a darling of U.S. conservatives, has gone out of his way to back Trump’s major policy efforts, including his unraveling of the Iran nuclear deal and his long campaign to build a wall on the border with Mexico.
For now, though, Netanyahu has bigger problems to reckon with at home. Unlike the situation in Washington, the Israeli attorney general is seeking the prime minister’s indictment in three separate corruption cases. Netanyahu’s arrival in the United States over the weekend coincided with new accusations that he inappropriately authorized the sale of German-made submarines to Egypt in a purchase that allegedly benefited him and close associates, including relatives who had a stake in the company that conducted the transaction. While Netanyahu dismissed the news as “lies,” his opponents, including Benny Gantz, Netanyahu’s chief rival and a former head of the Israel Defense Forces, are demanding a thorough investigation.
After his photo op with Trump, Netanyahu decided to cut his stay in Washington short after a rocket attack fired by Hamas hit a home outside Tel Aviv, injuring seven people. The Israeli prime minister coordinated his government’s response from Blair House, the stately residence offered to visiting leaders adjacent to the White House, before leaving in the evening.
Militants in Gaza reportedly fired back dozens of rockets, many of which were intercepted by Israeli defenses. Hamas, which in recent weeks faced angry protests by Gazans against its misrule, urged Palestinians in the blockaded territory to unite against Israel. It claimed its initial rocket fire was an accident, and, through Egyptian intermediaries, agreed to a cease-fire by Monday evening.
Though experts suggested a protracted conflict was not actually in Netanyahu’s interest ahead of the elections, it’s clear that under his watch — and aided by Trump — a meaningful peace process with the Palestinians and the faint hope for a viable Palestinian state have withered.
How Is Medical Waste Disposed of?
Propane tank laws and standards are managed by the National Fire Protection Association. These regulations are in place to ensure the safe manufacturing, use and storage of these devices so that each tank poses no threat to the consumers that use them to power barbecue grills around the country.
According to the website for Propane 101, all propane valves are required to be protected by a cap, collar or neck ring. The collar or ring is the location where pertinent data regarding the tank's creation and fill date is placed, along with any instructions for its safe filling. Without a protective collar of some kind the tank is not legal for propane filling and may not be used. The valve of a propane tank is at great risk to damage without a protective collar and if struck, can cause an unsafe propane leak which can turn the tank into a fire-spilling projectile.
Propane tanks are required to have a foot ring to allow them to stand off the ground in a level position. This keeps the tank from falling over and rolling around which is particularly important in a transport setting where the tank could become punctured and potentially explode. Cylinders without foot rings are illegal to refill and may not be sold to consumers.
In order to remain in service, a propane tank's cylinder must be free from significant dents or dings. These imperfections in the tank's principal propane storage unit can lead to a potential rupture which can be dangerous. According to the website for the National Fire Protection Association, propane tanks stored in public buildings are limited to a capacity of 1 lb. Buildings not frequently visited by the public may have a propane capacity of 300 lbs.
National Fire Protection Association standards require all propane tanks that have a capacity of 4 to 40 lbs. to have an overfill protection device installed. These devices must be installed on all propane tanks manufactured after 1998. Tanks built before that time must have overfill devices retrofitted on them in order to be legally refilled, though the tanks may remain in use until emptied.
Last year, farmers market maven Catt White and business partner Dale Steele went the http://www.kickstarter.com">Kickstarter route in search of funds to bring a central, grand scale public market to San Diego. The campaign was successful, raising more than $146,000 in just over two weeks. 1,379 individuals contributed funds to get the market up-and-running at its 92,000 square foot site. Ultimately, the http://www.sandiegopublicmarket.com">San Diego Public Market will feature full-time shops and restaurants built for and around local farmers, ranchers, fishermen, and various other artisanal food and beverage producers on a twice-a-week basis.
But there is a way to go before that happens (later this year by White and Steele’s projections). Just as San Diego foodies showed their support with faith and funds, San Diego’ farm-to-table chefs are contributing their talents and energies in putting on a fundraiser this Sunday, February 10 from 4 to 6:30 p.m. at the market (1735 National Avenue, Barrio Logan). Called A Taste of the Market, it will offer just that, a sampling of what can be expected when the space is filled with individual food vendors. To create that atmosphere, the participating chefs—most of which are a part of local chef consortium http://www.cooksconfab.com">Cooks Confab—will be setting up one-day-only restaurant concepts and serving up dishes made using ingredients from local purveyors.
Has Chiranjeevi Sarja bagged Jugaari Cross?
The first part of director-actor MG Srinivas’ Birbal Trilogy, is his third as a filmmaker, after Topiwala and Srinivasa Kalyana. It is also the third project for producer TR Chandrashekhar’s Crystal Paark Cinemas — one that he is excited to be presenting. “After #Chamak and Ayogya, both of which were commercial flicks set against different backdrops — one in the urban IT sector and the other in a village — I was quite enthused by the subject of the Birbal Trilogy. This is a mystery thriller, in which the protagonist, played by Srinivas, is an advocate chasing leads on a case, which almost makes him a detective as well. I would classify it as a Kannada film that has been made like an English thriller and would, therefore, be the ‘next level’ as far as filmmaking is concerned,” says Chandrashekhar. The filmmaker adds that what drew him to the project was that it was different from his earlier movies. “The objective of my banner is to make clean entertainers that offer something fresh to audiences and are not formulaic,” says Chandrashekhar, adding that the film will hit nearly 120 screens across Karnataka and rest of India, with an offshore release a week later.
The US and UK governments forcibly expelled an entire population of islanders to make way for a military base. It’s time to let them come home.
One week after British voters decided to exit the European Union, the UK Supreme Court was set to decide the fate of a small group of British citizens who had no such vote when the UK and US governments forced the people to exit their homeland beginning in the late 1960s.
Known as the Chagossians, these little known refugees have long been denied the kind of democratic rights exercised in the Brexit referendum. Instead, Britain and the United States forcibly removed the Chagossians from their homes during the construction of the US military base on the isolated Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia. Over nearly 50 years, the base has become a multi-billion-dollar installation, playing key roles in the US-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Over the same period, the people have lived in impoverished exile, mostly on the western Indian Ocean islands of Mauritius and the Seychelles.
Before the recent ruling, Chagossians waited anxiously to learn if they would be allowed to return to their homeland.
The history of what The Washington Post’s editorial page called an “act of mass kidnapping” dates to the time of US independence. In the last decades of the 18th century, the ancestors of today’s Chagossians first arrived in Diego Garcia and the rest of the Chagos Archipelago as enslaved and indentured African and Indian laborers who worked on Franco-Mauritian coconut plantations. Following emancipation and Britain’s seizure of the Chagos islands in 1814, a new, indigenous society emerged.
Unfortunately for the Chagossians, in 1958, US Navy officials identified Diego Garcia as an ideal location for a base. By 1965, high-ranking US officials had convinced the British government to detach the Chagos Archipelago from colonial Mauritius (contravening UN decolonization rules) to establish the United Kingdom’s last-created colony, the British Indian Ocean Territory.
During secret negotiations, US officials insisted the territory come under their “exclusive control (without local inhabitants).” With the help of $14 million quietly transferred without Congress’s or Parliament’s knowledge, British officials agreed to take “administrative measures” to remove some 1,500 Chagossians.
Between 1968 and 1973, the two governments concealed the expulsion from the world. If anyone asked, Anglo-American officials decided to “maintain the fiction that the inhabitants of Chagos” were “transient contract workers,” as one bureaucrat explained. A British official called the Chagossians “Tarzans” and “Man Fridays,” in a tellingly racist reference to Robinson Crusoe.
