CREATIVITY 

  The human brain is not designed to be creative.It is designed to set up routine patterns and to use and follow these patterns.we may need to use routine patterns 98% of the time and only to be creative 2% of the time.To show this,there is a game where you start with a letter and then add another letter,a whole word has to be formed.

Start with a
Add t. The new word is at
Add c. The new word is cat
Add o. The new word is coat
Add r. The new word is actor

Until the addition of the ?r? it was quite simple to add the new letter to the existing ones to form a new word.With the r it was necessary to go back and completely restructure the use of the previous words.

We live over time.New information comes in over time.we add this new information to what we already have to go back and restructure what we had before.This is creativity.More often we are not forced to go back.we stick to what we have.If we choose to go back and restructure then we get a much better arrangement.This is creativity we choose to use.If doors are normally rectangular and you suggest a triangular door,that is not creative in less you can show value for the new shape.

The argument that creativity cannot be taught is usually based on pointing to extreme cases of creativity talent,such as Einstein,Newton.But imagine a row of people lined up to run a race.The starting signal is given and the race is run.someone comes first and someone comes last.Their performance depends on their natural running ability.

Now if all the runners have some training ,they all finish the race much faster than before.However,someone still first and someone still comes last.

So if we do nothing about creativity then obviously creative ability depends only on natural talent.But if we provide training,structures and systematic techniques,then we raise the general level of creative ability.Some people will be much better than others but everyone will acquire some creative skill.

Creativity is no longer a mysterious gift or special talent.we can now see creativity as the behavior of a self organizing information system that makes patterns which is your brain.Once we can understand the underlying system,then we can design tools for the deliberate use of creativity.These tools can be very powerful.It need no longer be a matter of sitting and waiting for ideas and inspiration.We can do certain things that will result in the brain having new ideas.

THE RANDOM WORD TOOL FOR CREATIVITY ?

   You have your focus.you know where you want to generate new ideas.You then obtain a random word. Nouns are easiest to use,so use a noun.You can obtain your random word in several ways.

 You may keep a list of 60 words on a card in your pocket.You then glance at your watch.If the second hand shows 27 seconds,you select word number 27 from your list.

 You could also choose a page number in a dictionary and then specify the tenth(or other) word down on that page.You continue downwards until you come to a noun.You could do this with any book with a page and line number.

 You could put words written on slips of paper into a bag and then pick one out.

All of these are practical ways of obtaining a random word.Once you have your random word,you then use this random word to generate ideas about the subject.

QUESTION: What is phonetics and what is phonology?
ANSWER:
Phonetics is the study of sounds and is concerned with the production, audition and perception of o speech sounds
(called phones). On the other hand, phonology describes the way sounds function within a given language and operates
at the level of sound systems and abstract sound units. You can actually change one word into another by simply
changing one sound. Consider the differences between the words bile and pile. The words are identical except for the
first sound. [b] and [p] can therefore distinguish words, and are called contrasting sounds. They are distinctive sounds in
English, and all distinctive sounds are classified as phonemes.

Minimal Pairs
Minimal pairs are words with different meanings that have the same sounds except for one. These contrasting sounds
can either be consonants or vowel. The words real and rule are also exactly the same except for the vowel sound. The
examples from above, bile and pile, are also minimal pairs. The words din and tin are minimal pairs because they are
exactly the same except for the first sound one contrastive sound are minimal pairs. Another feature of minimal pairs is
overlapping distribution. Sounds that occur in phonetic environments that are identical are said to be in overlapping
distribution.

Free Variation
Some words in English are pronounced differently by different speakers. This is noticeable among American English
speakers and British English speakers, as well as dialectal differences.
Phones and Allophones
Phonemes are not physical sounds. They are abstract mental representations of the phonological units of a language.
Phones are considered to be any single speech sound of which phonemes are made. Phonemes are a family of phones
regarded as a single sound and represented by the same symbol. The different phones that are the realization of a
phoneme are called allophones of that phoneme. The use of allophones is not random, but rule-governed. No one is
taught these rules as they are learned subconsciously when the native language is acquired. To distinguish between a
phoneme and its allophones, we use slashes // to enclose phonemes and brackets [] to enclose allophones or phones.
For example, [i] and [ĩ] are allophones of the phoneme /i/; [ɪ] and [ɪ̃] are allophones of the phoneme /ɪ/.
If two sounds are allophones of the same phoneme, they are said to be in complementary distribution.
These sounds cannot occur in minimal pairs and they cannot change the meaning of otherwise identical
words. If you interchange the sounds, you will only change the pronunciation of the words, not the
meaning. Native speakers of the language regard the two allophones as variations of the same sound.
To hear this, start to say the word cool (your lips should be pursed in anticipation of /u/ sound), but then
say kill instead (with your lips still pursed.) Your pronunciation of kill should sound strange because cool
and kill are pronounced with different allophones of the phoneme /k/.
Nasalized vowels are allophones of the same phoneme in English. Take, for example, the sounds in
bad and ban. The phoneme is /?/, however the allophones are [?] and [?̃]. Yet in French, nasalized
vowels are not allophones of the same phonemes. They are separate phonemes. The words beau [bo]

and bon [b?] are not in complementary distribution because they are minimal pairs and have
contrasting sounds. Changing the sounds changes the meaning of the words. This is just one example
of differences between languages.
Phonological Rules
Assimilation: sounds become more like neighboring sounds, allowing for ease of articulation or
pronunciation; such as vowels are nasalized before nasal consonants
- Harmony: non-adjacent vowels become more similar by sharing a feature or set of features (common
in Finnish)
- Gemination: sound becomes identical to an adjacent sound
- Regressive Assimilation: sound on left is the target, and sound on right is the trigger
Dissimilation: sounds become less like neighboring sounds; these rules are quite rare, but one example
in English is [fɪfθ] becoming [fɪft] (/f/ and /θ/ are both fricatives, but /t/ is a stop)
Epenthesis: insertion of a sound, e.g. Latin "homre" became Spanish "hombre"
- Prothesis: insertion of vowel sound at beginning of word
- Anaptyxis: vowel sound with predictable quality is inserted word-internally
- Paragoge: insertion of vowel sound at end of word
- Excrescence: consonant sound inserted between other consonants (also called stop-intrusion)
Deletion: deletion of a sound; e.g. French word-final consonants are deleted when the next word begins
with a consonant (but are retained when the following word begins with a vowel)
- Aphaeresis: vowel sound deleted at beginning of word
- Syncope: vowel sound is deleted word-internally
- Apocope: vowel sound deleted at end of word
Metathesis: reordering of phonemes; in some dialects of English, the word asked is pronounced [?ks];
children's speech shows many cases of metathesis such as aminal for animal
Lenition: consonant changes to a weaker manner of articulation; voiced stop becomes a fricative,
fricative becomes a glide, etc.
Palatalization: sound becomes palatal when adjacent to a front vowel Compensatory Lengthening:
sound becomes long as a result of sound loss, e.g. Latin "octo" became Italian "otto"
Assimilation in English
Let us have a look at the formation of plurals and the past tense in English. When pluralizing nouns, the
last letter is pronounced as either [s], [z], or [əz]. When forming past tenses of verbs, the -ed ending is
pronounced as either [t], [d], [əd]. If you were to sort words into three columns, you would be able to tell
why certain words are followed by certain sounds:
Plurals

/s/ /z/ /əz/

cats dads churches

tips bibs kisses

laughs dogs judges

Past Tense

/t/ /d/ /əd/

kissed loved patted

washed jogged waded

coughed teased seeded
Hopefully, we can determine which consonants produce which sounds. In the nouns, /s/ is added after
voiceless consonants, and /z/ is added after voiced consonants. /əz/ is added after sibilants. For the
verbs, /t/ is added after voiceless consonants, and /d/ is added after voiced consonants. /əd/ is added
after alveolar stops. The great thing about this is that no one ever taught you this in school. But thanks
to linguistics, you now know why there are different sounds (because of assimiliation rules, the
consonants become more like their neighboring consonants.)
Writing Rules
General phonological rule is A → B / D __ E (said: A becomes B when it occurs between D and E)
Other symbols in rule writing include: C = any obstruent, V = any vowel, ? = nothing, # = word
boundary, ( ) = optional, and { } = either/or. A deletion rule is A → ? / E __ (A is deleted when it occurs
after E) and an insertion rule is ? → A / E __ (A is inserted when it occurs after E).
Alpha notation is used to collapse similar assimilation rules into one. C → [Α voice] / __ [Α voice] (An
obstruent becomes voiced when it occurs before a voiced obstruent AND an obstruent becomes
voiceless when it occurs before a voiceless obstruent.) Similarly, it can be used for dissimilation rules
too. C → [-Α voice] / __ [Α voice] (An obstruent becomes voiced when it occurs before a voiceless
obstruent AND an obstruent becomes voiceless when it occurs before a voiced obstruent.) Gemination
rules are written as C1C2 → C2C2 (for example, pd → dd)
Syllable Structure

Three peaks to a syllable: nucleus (vowel), onset (consonant before nucleus) and coda (consonant
after nucleus.) The onset and coda are both optional, meaning that a syllable could contain a vowel and
nothing else. The nucleus is required in every syllable by definition. The order of the peaks is always
onset - nucleus - coda. All languages permit open syllables (Consonant + Vowel), but not all languages
allow closed syllables (Consonant + Vowel + Consonant). Languages that only allow open syllables are
called CV languages. In addition to not allowing codas, some CV languages also have constraints on
the number of consonants allowed in the onset.
The sonority profile dictates that sonority must rise to the nucleus and fall to the coda in every
language. The sonority scale (from most to least sonorous) is vowels - glides - liquids - nasals -
obstruents. Sonority must rise in the onset, but the sounds cannot be adjacent to or share a place of
articulation (except [s] in English) nor can there be more than two consonants in the onset. This
explains why English allows some consonant combinations, but not others. For example, price [prajs] is
a well-formed syllable and word because the sonority rises in the onset (p, an obstruent, is less
sonorous than r, a liquid); however, rpice [rpajs] is not a syllable in English because the sonority does
not rise in the onset.
The Maximality Condition posits that onsets are as large as possible up to the well-formedness rules
of a language. Onsets are always preferred over codas when syllabifying words.

project without first getting a qualified person in that field to go with you every step of
the way. A home is important to human beings. From the start to the end of the project
all details have to be carefully considered to avoid problems and losses. When selecting
a good San Antonio home builder the following factors need to be carefully observed:
1. Their reputation
The reputation of a San Antonio home builder is very crucial for you to know. Ask
around and see if anyone in the neighborhood has worked with them or is familiar with
them. Look for the local directories in your area to find out more about the San Antonio
home builder. He must have a good reputation to start with.
2. Their experience
You need to get a San Antonio home builder who has worked long enough in the

your hard-earned money after doing some shoddy job. You will have to regret. Go for an
experienced professional.
3. He listens

MAKING MONEY THROUGH YOUR WRITING AND BLOGGING
Prove you can deliver. People believe what they see.
 
If you say you are a great writer, then give your writing samples right
away after the meat. Let the client actually taste and see that your
writing is good.
 
It is best to link to your writing samples instead of using attachments.
 
In short, if you have written two amazing samples and you have them
in your computer, publish one on Medium and another one on
LinkedIn. Google how to do this if you don`t know. It should take you
a few minutes.
 
Once published, be sending the links to your BEST samples as proof
you can deliver.
 
5. The answers
 
This is where lazy freelancers get caught. And this is where a client
sees which freelancer is serious.
 
In some Upwork jobs, a client asks a few questions. Make sure you
actually answer these questions comprehensively. Don`t skip them
and don`t write some lazy arrogant responses.
 
You don`t have to write a composition here, but just be
straightforward and clear with your answers.
 
6. The length
 
A proposal shouldn`t be an entire newspaper. I usually mirror a
client`s post length. If a client has a long job post, I do a longer
proposal. If the client is job post is short, I do a proposal with just a
few sentences.
 
You don`t have to copy this. You must use your mind in every
proposal. Be wise. Some clients can have a job post with just two
sentences, but you will need to have a 5 paragraph proposal to aptly
take care of their needs.
 
So, do this...
 
Keep the length as short as possible, making sure every word counts.
Most of my proposals just have a few sentences i.e. 3 to 5 short
paragraphs. I also make sure I answer the client`s screening
questions comprehensively.
 
7. The closing
 
It is so hard for human beings to say thank you. You can provide
value to a crowd for 90 years but just a few will verbally appreciate.
However, you do one wrong thing and the whole world will pounce
on you.
 
In short, the world has a shortage of gratitude.
 
And that is where your power lies.
 
Finish your proposals with gratitude.
 
High chances are the client is under-appreciated like most other
human beings.

Academic Session 2020

July Semester

Assignment 1

BBM207/05 Human Resource Management

Question 1 (a) The purpose of the Employment Act 1955 is to provide minimum terms of
employment to employees covered by the Act in the private sector. Describe the provision of
sick leave (medical leave) to employees as per the Act

Answer:

A registered medical practitioner as to define the term refers to any person who has a university
degree in Medicine and is duly licensed to work as a doctor in his geographical region or
jurisdiction. This is according to www.lawinsider.com website.

A registered medical practitioner also refers to an individual who has acquired the relevant
medical qualifications according to the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 and has been listed in
the state register on medical practice. Additionally, this professional must have training and
experience in gynaecology and obstetrics (www.lawinsider.com). Also, a registered medical
practitioner refers to any person who has obtained formal listing or enrollment in state medical
council after completing first degree medical course in a college or university that is recognized
by the government (www.quora.com).

In the United Kingdom when a doctor becomes licensed as a medical practitioner their bio-data
would be made available for public viewing on the General Medical Council website (
datadictionary.nhs.uk ). These details would include the person's reference number, age, year and
name of medical school they attended, health status, date of registration and registration status.

In every country a doctor or medical professional is legally allowed to practice medicine only
after getting registered in the relevant state or govenmental medical register. Any doctor or
medical officer who engaged in medical practice without being licensed to do so commits a
criminal offense which is punishable by law.

Careers and opportunities available for registered medical practitioners include the following:
employment opportunities in government hospitals and health departments and centres as doctors
or clinical officers; jobs as medical practitioners in private hospitals and dispensaries, own
private practice, management and administrative roles in hospitals and medical research centres,
research roles and PhD programs, medical professor or tutor,  and medical transcription work
(blog.pharmafranchisehelp.org).

According to Merrium-Webster dicictionary a registered medical practitioner is a person who is
skilled in the science of medicine, or simply, a doctor. According to medical-
dictionary.thefreedictionary.com, medical practitioner is commonly referred to as physician. All
the above try to explain or give some of the definitions of the term registered medical
practitioner.

Sick Leave Entitlement

According to www.malaysianbar.org.my there are provisions for a paid sick leave although
limits are there. The worst thing to happen to an employee would be to have his job terminated
on account of his illness. The unpleasant situation is common not just in Malaysia but in other
countries as well. That is where the Employment Act, 1955 of the Malaysian Laws has this
provision to govern the conduct of employers and employees. An employee is there to render
important services to or on behalf of the employer. This is a contractual relationship. Where an
employee reports to work but is unhealthy or unable to work because of ill health this is absurd.
On the other hand, where an employee requests for a sick leave but is denied this becomes a
serious breach of the law on the part of the employer. In other cases, where an employee abuses
the sick leave by overstaying at home then there would be no other choice for the employer but

to wait for the employee to return to work or just terminate the contract. In larger companies and
organizations when an employee falls sick and is forced to stay away from work for long, the
colleagues may step in to assist with work duties. This ensures that the effect of the sick
employee's absence from work are lessened. A sick employee therefore is entitled to paid sick
leave of up to a number of days in the month depending on how long the employee has been
working at the organization. This is according to the Employment Act, 1955.

During the employment stage, that is, when one is being accepted to join an organization as an
employee in Malaysia it is recommended that the employer drafts a document or letter stipulating
the acceptable period of paid sick leave entitled to the employee.

According to the Employment Act, 1955 an employee is entitled to fourteen days of paid sick
leave within the first two years of work at a particular organization. After the individual has
served for at least two years the number of days rises to eighteen, and to twenty two days of paid
sick leave, if having served for at least five years.

Hospitalization Leave Entitlement

According to www.ajobthing.com medical leave is granted to employees to stay home when they
are sick but still keep earning money. In the same vein, hospitalization leave covers the period
that the employee receives hospital care.

This must be approved and signed by a registered medical practitioner. The circumstances under
which hospitalization leave address include the following: when an employee underwent a
surgical operation, though as an outpatient; when the person is on bed rest at home or at hospital
as prescribed by the doctor; or the patient requires further medical care after getting discharged
from hospital and ordered to rest at home to recover.

In the Employment Act, 1955 of the Malaysian Laws an employee is entitled to a paid sick leave
as follows: fourteen days of paid sick leave if below two years of work at the organization,
eighteen days of paid sick leave if having served more than two years but not more than five
years at the organization, and twenty-two days of paid sick leave if having served more than five
years at the organization.

Workers under the Employment Act, 1955, where hospitalization is needed are entitled to sixty
days of paid sick leave. This is after they have been approved by a registered medical
practitioner or doctor. However, there are other employees in Malaysia who are not under the
Employment Act, 1955. Their needs and entitlements are safeguarded by their organization's
employment policies and contracts.

Dental Medical Care

According to the Employment Act, 1955 of the Malaysian Laws every employee is entitled to
medical care and dental health care. If an employee is suffering from a dental health problem
while at work he is entitled to a paid sick leave as well as hospitalization leave provided he has
been approved by a registered medical practitioner or dental surgeon.

Duty to Inform Employer

It is the duty of every employee according to the Employment Act, 1955 of the Malaysian Laws
to give prior notice of absence from work on account of his illness the the employer. In case the

employee becomes absent from work with no prior notice of such it becomes a breach of contract
with the employer and would be treated as abscondment which is an offense. This could likely
lead to his services being terminated.

Sick Leave vs. Maternity Leave and Temporary Disablement

A woman who has served for not less than ninety days for one employer in Malaysia will be
entitled to a maternity leave. In this case, the woman will not be fired or replaced with someone
else during her time of confinement. Maternity Leave is different from sick leave. This is a paid
two-month maternity leave given to an expectant woman to go and give birth and nurse her
suckling baby. A sick leave, on the other hand, is granted to a sick employee who might not be
hospitalized. In case of temporary disablement as a result of injury, accident or any other causes,
an employee is granted leave to go and get hospitalization or just take time off to recuperate.
This is agreeable on a case by case basis. The duration is also agreed upon by the employee and
employer. In some cases, with regards to maternity leave, some companies in Malaysia let their
employers to extend their two-month maternity leave, although with no payment.

When it comes to laptops, even the latest models, everyone has a battery issue on their mind. Power management is one of the essential aspects of a successful Linux computer, especially for laptops, in terms of extending battery life. Though most of us still have trouble finding the correct power options to minimize power usage and enhance battery life, Linux provides utilities that can help you analyze and take account of your battery life.

It is where PowerTop stepped in. It had been seized all over the world. Many people considered PowerTop to be a must-have.

When a Linux system doesn't get hooked into a power source, PowerTOP is a terminal-based troubleshooting tool developed by Intel that allows you to monitor power use by programs running on it. One of PowerTOP's utilized features is its participatory mode, which lets users experiment with various energy management options.

C++, g++, libstdc++, Autoconf, Automake, and libtool are among the Development Tools required by PowerTop.
It also requires the pciutils-devel, ncurses-devel, and libnl-devel parts, as well as kernel version 2.6.38.

To test how it affects the system, try using it with a laptop battery. It displays the system's overall power consumption and the power consumption of specific system components which get divided into categories such as devices, processes, system timer, kernel operations, and interruptions.

Powertop's faults, like any other item, got the best of it over time. It is no longer as advanced as it once was. As a result, efficiency suffered. Whether you want to move from powertop or try something new, we'll tell you about some of the top powertop alternatives in this post.

TLP

We're going to start with a huge one. TLP is open-source software, feature-rich, a control program for sophisticated energy monitoring that aids in the optimization of battery life in Linux laptops. It works with any laptop brand and comes with a default setup that is already tuned to effectively and consistently preserve battery capacity, so you can plug it in and go.

- It may get customized utilizing a variety of power-saving settings.

-For multi-core/hyper-threading, TLP possesses a power-aware manner scheduler.

-It has a USB auto-suspend feature with a black list and a Wifi energy-saver feature.

-It features sophisticated power consumption and spin-down timeout for hard drives.

-It supports CPU frequency scaling, including "turbo boost" and "turbo core," and utilizes kernel laptop mode and messy buffer overtimes.

It saves electricity by letting you choose how components including the CPU, HDD, USBs, PCIs, and radio devices use power when your laptop is on batteries. It is, without a doubt, the best PowerTop alternative.

Upower

Following that, we have Upower. On Linux computers, UPower is a piece of middleware for energy monitoring. It lists electricity sources, keeps statistics and historical data on them, and alerts users when their status changes. A daemon, an application programming interface, and a collection of command-line tools make up the system. The daemon offers its capabilities to programs via the system bus. UPower's capability for inducing hibernation mode or shutting down the operating system gets restricted by PolicyKit.

It is on our list of top PowerTop alternatives due to its efficiency. The command-line client application upower may get used to request and monitor information about the system's power components. The GNOME Power Manager and the Xfce Power Manager are two types of interfaces to UPower's capabilities.

Jupiter Applet

There are several techniques to extend the life of your battery pack, many of which are self-evident: turn down the display brightness when you're not using it and be cautious about the applications you use. But, to take things a step further, we provide the Jupiter applet.

Most of the time, you won't require your CPU's full capabilities. Jupiter is aware of this and uses your energy sparingly as a result. It also allows you to turn off battery-draining technologies like Bluetooth. It can buy you a lot of time from now until that horrible future when your battery runs out.
The program detects if your PC is plugged in and reduces CPU use accordingly. The applet may get used to turning off power-hungry gadgets. Bluetooth is an instance of a service that you generally don't need on the move but consumes a lot of power. If you can live without the internet for a bit, turning off the Wifi can also help a great deal.

Conclusion

As a result, these are the best PowerTop alternatives available right now. Each one has its distinct characteristics and approach. People have been moving away from PowerTop for a time now since it has been unable to keep up with the demands. If you're still reading, you're fully aware of these alternatives' potential. One of the important elements of an ideal Linux installation is power management; with these options in place, you'll be fine!

Training and Development consultant

An organization is the collective name of people working together for a common goal.  It is the people behavior that determines the productivity and therefore the profitability of organizations.  People behavior therefore is the NUCLEUS around which the whole activity of an organization revolves and is shaped.
 
Behavior is the reflection of one's attitudes.  Attitudes are formed by one's experiences, beliefs and values.  People behaviors are, therefore, molded by their experiences, values, opinions and views collectively termed as attitudes.  People are hired for aptitudes but fired for attitudes.

 
A senior executive of an American firm once remarked I would love my job if it weren't for the peoples. Most of the organizations are plagued by PEOPLE PROBLEMS.  These problems are shown in their behaviors.  Why people behave the way they do, has, therefore, been the concern of all organizations and it has led to the study of BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE.  One of the proponents of this Science was Dr. Eric Berne.  As propounded by him every person has three Behavioral Characteristics known as Parent, Adult and Child.  These Behavioral Characteristics are called Ego States which represent sets of Behaviors, Thoughts, Feelings and Attitudes.
The readings of:
1.   GAMES PEOPLE PLAY by Dr. Eric Berne.
2.   EVERYBODY WINS  by Dorothy Jongeward and
3. I AM OK, YOU ARE OK?  by Thomas and Amy Harris

Provide insight into the complexities of People Behaviors.  Analysis of these behaviors throws clues as to why people behave the way they do and this is known as Transactional Analysis that Dr. Eric Berne advocated.  Many organizations through out the world have turned to Behavioral Sciences  for  answers to  People Problems.  as  it  is  the people  who  make  or  mar  organizations. If the people are happy, they are more responsible and more effective, therefore they are more productive.  Happy people contribute to the vitality and success of an organization.
 
It is not the job that frustrates as much as the Problems relating to People.  As one Cost Analyst Complained,  I thought my job would be dealing with figures, not people. What a surprise!
People have some basic beliefs about self and others.  They use these beliefs to justify their decisions and behaviors. These behaviors are known as GAMES.  Games are played wherever there are people.  
This article, without a claim to originality, makes an attempt to:
?  examine what prompts / motivates game - playing on the job.
?  illustrate from experience how certain games are played in the organizational setting.
?  demonstrate how games can be stopped.


 What is a Game?
A Game is a transaction and a transaction is a communication between two or more people.  It is an exchange of thoughts and of feelings expressed verbally or conveyed non-verbally (Tone, Pitch, Volume, Facial Expressions, Gestures and Postures).
  What prompts Game - Playing in an Organization?

       People play games because they have idle time.  They need to fill up time.  If they do not do it, they suffer boredom.  Boredom saps physical and mental energies that causes deterioration.  People who are bored with their jobs are more prone to Game - Playing.

   People need recognition.  It is a universal phenomenon.  If the work environment is void of RECOGNITION  people have all the more reasons and need to play games.

Motives and Effects.

Every game has a hidden agenda.  There are hidden motives.  Game players actually do not talk about what it sounds they are talking about. What they say, they do not mean; what they mean, they do not say. In the process someone gets hurt and the real problems remain unsolved.  Such games prevent honest and open relationship and reveal that each person's real Hell.. is the other People.

Those who play games find other people to talk and to gossip and put other people down.  By playing such games they are transmitting a message that they are OK but others are NOT OK.  However in reality they may be having a belief that they are NOT OK. Therefore they feel better by putting others down.

Games are destructive.  They cost the organization heavily.  People who otherwise could be productive divert their energies into game-playing rather than doing their own job or getting the job done, making decisions or solving problems.

Games always fortify a feeling of I AM NOT OK and / or YOU ARE NOT OK.  They lead to loss of productivity.  The time of the organization which could have been used productively is used to reinforce negative concepts about self / others.
 A few sample of Games played in Organizations.
?  The following statements are often heard being made by   employees.
?  Well, I was only trying to help you.
?  If it weren't for the Training Manager we could have run this training program well in time.
?  It baffles me why such weird things always happen to me.
?  This is the fourth time she has messed up the job for us. 

Such statements aim at finding fault with others.  When people play such games they do things like passing the buck.  Such games are known as Blaming Games or Passing the Buck games.  People who play these Games present themselves as angels and blemish-less by placing the responsibility for their short comings on some one else.  

In an office setting someone senior or someone junior is blamed for their own mistakes
 Such people find themselves inadequate and the blame is put on others for their inability / incompetence to achieve.
Another Blaming Game played is I have got you .  In this game someone ends up being caught for having made a mistake.  The game player arranges a set up for someone to make mistakes and when the mistakes occur the player shouts at him, gets angry at him.  A Manager / Supervisor who gives incomplete instructions can be setting up such a game.

 A game usually played between staff and line managers is but why don't  you It is a game to put people down.

See what you made me do is a very common statement made by people in the organization.  It is to blame a mistake made by the game player in the presence of another person on that other person.  

Such a person takes the position nothing is ever my fault, but it is yours.  Such a person is the collector of angry feelings about others and feelings of inadequacy about self.

The words "if it weren't for----"  may be a clue to the possibility of game playing rather than an honest complaint. " If it weren't for such a rigid organization policy we could be creative"  suggest the employees are playing a game, as they are actually not sure of their own creative abilities.

In office one finds a nit-picker.  The game office nit-picker plays is to point out mistakes that are small and of no consequence.  The people picked on can become angry and resentful.
A game where a bait  is thrown in a manner that a trap falls on an employee who may then have to decide whether to stick with the organization or to seek employment elsewhere.  Some organizations, in their desire to attract bright students in the college campus, paint a very rosy picture of the position they are offering. When they join, the realization comes that the position is not that was projected to be; and they feel trapped.

Another dirty game is where one person goes to a second person in an attempt to engage the second and the third person in an argument.  It proceeds like this.

 One employee  A  goes to another employee B saying in confidence ?It makes me feel uncomfortable to tell you this but I thought it over and feel you  need to know what C is saying about you.  And then the person proceeds to reveal, distort or fabricate what is saying.  In all likelihood B will soon engage in a conflict with C
 
In office one finds a corner player.  Who maneuvers other people into a situation where they remark ?It seems, whatever we do, we never come out right, no matter what ever we do we can't please the boss.  Such a feeling is typical of one who feels cornered. 

The games described above are my own personal experiences / observations and are but a few of the variety of games played in an organization.  These games are classified by Behavioral Scientists under different names like Blaming, Under Cutting, Putting other people down, Bear Trapping etc.  

However whatever may be the type and nature of games played, they ultimately vitiate the work place environment, prevent development of honest and open relationship, and inhibit problem solving, curb creativity and productivity, put fetter on authentic interactions and cause anger and resentment among employees. 

How Games can be stopped

?  Games always aim at undermining other people.  What is required is to develop and nurture those management skills that would help create such ambience at the work place as would make other people seem Heavenly.  Insight into one's own personality and into what makes other people tick or click can probably lead to creation of that Heavenly ambience and those moments when other people seem Heavenly and feel Heavenly.

?  When game-playing is stopped or curtailed within the organizations, it paves the way for more open, honest and authentic interactions among employees.  It saves time and money. Moreover Curtailing / Preventing of organizational games helps people to be creative and productive.

?  Managers who take the stance YOU ARE NOT OK  tend to stall the personal growth and development of employees they manage.  Managers can change this position.  With persistence and enough foresight games can be stopped before they start. Efforts should be made to stop putting others down and putting ourselves down.  In other words we should refrain   from defining others as insignificant, refrain from collecting negative feelings about ourselves and stop exaggerating personal shortcomings. It will help stop game - playing.

?  There are many ways in which management can diminish if not fully eliminate the time invested in games.  This can be done by :

  • reducing boredom on the job,
  • Enriching work environment.
  •  allowing people to express and develop their own Potential.
  • Integrating the personal goals with the Organizational goals.
It is to the benefit of organizations, if employees are given freedom to channel their energies into solving problems, making decisions and developing their talents and potentials.  Happy employees contribute to the productivity that leads to increasing profits.

We managers need to create work environment that provides conducive conditions to employees to use their time productively and effectively.  Less idle time they have, less scope is there for them to play games.  Attitudes can be changed if the organizational Climate / Culture provide empowerment and professional freedom to employees to develop their potentials. Management can do that by fostering the attitude, WE (MANAGEMENT) ARE OK; YOU (EMPLOYEES) ARE OK?.  This in all probability will help utilize the full potential of all its employees and create a Win  Win situation.

Today the world needs power from the source that never ends. Biodiesel is the only way to get power without damaging the environment. Biodiesel can be produced by various methods. It can be produced from vegetable oil and animal fats also. Biodiesel is a fuel that can be produced from vegetable waste also. Biodiesel helps in reducing the air pollution.
Biodiesel is a way to reduce the dependancy on diesel and petrol. Now a day, every country wants to get a new source of energy, without hampering the environment. In this regard, many researchers have almost predicted that the biodiesel derived from different sources has potential that it can be used in IC engines without alteration of the previous design parameters.

Needs of Biodiesel -  Biodiesel fullfill the crisis of energy. Biodiesel is a fuel that can be easily produced from renewable sources. Emissions from road vehicles are major contributors of air pollution, which is very sensitive issue in Delhi and China. Biodiesel helps to run the engine with less production of air pollutants. It helps to reduce the air pollution. The engine optimization is achieved with biodiesel as it emits less carbon dioxide as compared to the engine running with diesel. The most promising nature of biofuel is that it can be utilised in the existing design of diesel engine  without alteration. Biodiesel is very friendly to the diesel engine as it is not easy to remove engine hardware frequently.

Definition of Biodiesel - Biodiesel is basically polymer of ester. It is basically a well-defined long chain of fatty acid. It is better than the previous existing fuels. In the esterification process, firstly the triglycerides changes into di-glycerides, and then from diglycerides the mono-glycerides is obtained. In last step, mono-glycerides comes out with glycerin.

  Triglycerides + Alcohol = Esters + Glycerin

Basically Esterification process helps to reduce the viscosity present in the biodiesel that is produced from vegetable oil and renewable resources. If the biodiesel is directly used in the diesel engine, it may damage the internal part of the engine because it has high viscosity. Due to viscosity, the internal parts of the diesel engine may slip or collapse while it is running.

Methods used for Production of Biodiesel - 

1. Conventional Mechanical Stirring Method - The mechanical stirring method is used to mix the methanol and catalyst properly. This method is the cheapest way to get biodiesel.
         The mechanical stirring machine consists of three major components : temperature controller, speed controller and magnetic stirrer. The temperature controller is used for maintaining the suitable temperature inside the beaker. The speed controller is used to control the speed of rotation of solution inside the beaker. The magnetic stirrer is the component which helps to mix the methanol and oil nicely by stirring the solution inside the beaker. The one should use induction heater to heat the solution inside the beaker. 

Steps involed in production of the biodiesel-
1) Take sesame oil in beaker.
2) Take methanol and add catalyst in it.
3) Then mix it properly.
4) Put the solution on mechanical stirring machine.
5) Collect the biodiesel after stirring and settling process.

2 . Ultrasonic Cavitation Method- It is used nowadays as it produces more biodiesel from the oil. This method is costly method for biodiesel production, but less time consuming method.
                  There are many important parts of Ultrasonic horn type processor, such as start button, transducer horn and supporting tray. The start button is used for starting the machine. Supporting tray with sliding motion is used to support the beaker for stirring process. The main part of horn type processor is transducer horn. It helps to mix the solution of methanol and oil properly for extracting the biodiesel.

Steps involved in the production of the biodiesel - 
1) The first step to produce the biodiesel is to mix oil with alcohol.
2) Mix the catalyst with the solution.
3) Put the solution in beaker.
4) Start the horn type ultrasonic machine.
5) Collect the biodiesel after the process of stirring and settling.

3. Soxhlet Extractor Method- It is very expensive method to produce the biodiesel from the vegetable waste. This method is very costly method for biodiesel manufacturing and is time consuming method also. Precautions should be taken while handling the apparatus. Soxhlet Extractor of mainly three components which are as follows; boiling flask, extraction chamber and last condenser.  For heating purpose, the heating mantle is used.



Diagram of Soxhlet Extractor

The application of the apparatus with Hexane should be handled properly, otherwise it will cause accident.

Experimental procedure required for biodiesel production -

1) Firstly arrange the sesame seeds or any other plant seeds from market.
2) Then grind the seed properly by grinder.
3) Take a white cloth.
4) Put the grinded seed properly on the cloth, tie it. 
5) Place the cloth containing seed above the boiling flask.
6) Start the heating mantle. The heating should be able to get biodiesel.
7) The biodiesel is collected by extractor chamber.


Biodiesel can be used as the fuel in vehicle, if it has following properties -

Biodiesel are used as fuel in vehicle nowadays. Fuel in vehicle must have some qualities. It should fulfill some parameters.
 1) Availability of the fuel.
2) Cost of the fuel.
3) Exhaust gas should release less harmful gases.
4) It should run with the engine nicely.

                 Today the world needs the fuel that will not end. The biodiesel is the appropriate option because it can be produced by the plants. Biodiesel can be blended with the diesel and can be used as a fuel in engine. The engine running with the  blended biodiesel gives the required  result.  B20 is the mixture of 20% biodiesel and 80% diesel. This B20 blend gives the appropriate result similar to the result of the diesel. The engine running with the biodiesel fulfill the requirement.


Description of the different types of blends of biodiesel-

Types of blends amount of biodiesel diesel
Diesel 0 1000
B20 200 800
B40 400 600
B60 600 400
B80 800 200
B100 1000 0
 

There are the various changes that are required for the biodiesel performance test. There should be a engine that is consist of the one cylinder and four stroke  diesel engine. They should be connected to the Eddy current type dynamometer for loading and water cooling jacket also should be there. The setup should also consists of the stand-alone panel box and air box, fuel and oil tank, manometer, fuel measuring unit, transmitter for air and the fuel flow measurement.


         There should be Piezo sensor and there should be crank angle sensor also. The load sensor, load indicator and temperature sensor should be there in the setup. The enginesoft is the software that is used for analysing the performance of the engine.

The diesel can be used as the fuel. There are two types of emission measuring equipment. First one is the smoke metre and second one is the exhaust gas analyser. Both can be used for measuring, calculating and analysing the information of exhaust products of the engine.

Topic -  Biodiesel used as fuel in vehicle


Advantages of biodiesel -

1) The biodiesel is collected from various types of plant seeds.
2) When vehicle uses the  biodiesel as fuel, it  generates less carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.
3) It is argued that biodiesel can be produced by renewable resources, therefore Biodiesel is easily accessible and available.

Disadvantages of biodiesel -

1) The biodiesel produces more nitrogen dioxide than diesel.
2) The work efficiency of the engine is lesser than the engine working with diesel.
The parts of the engine gets lubricated due to the use of the biodiesel.

The main remarkable facts about the biodiesel is that it can be used in engine without any modifications of internal parts of the engine. The decrease in the magnitude of efficiency of the engine working with the biodiesel, causes the research to pay attention on the engine optimization. The optimization of engine is determined by considering the load provided to vichecle and the efficiency of the engine.
