The Three Schools of Business Ethics

G. Richard Shell, author of Bargaining for Advantage: Negotiation Strategies for Reasonable People, identifies three primary schools of ethics in negotiation. adult open chat To me, they are equally valuable in examining ethics in the context of business in general. live girls

1. The Poker School – “It’s a Game”

To poker players, business is a game and anything that can be done to gain advantage within the rules of the game (generally speaking, the laws of the land), is fair and just. If you love negotiating “gambits” (lowballing, goodcop/bad cop, red herrings, nibbling, etc.), and sales “tactics” (101 effective closing techniques, 30 tricks to getting past the gatekeeper,etc.) you may well belong to this school.

2. The Idealist School – “Do the right thing, even if it hurts.”

To the idealist, there is no seperation between business in life. If you would not lie to your loved ones, you do not lie to your clients. If it’s OK to tell a “white lie” to protect the feelings of a friend or prevent a tragedy, it’s OK to tell a “white lie” to protect a corporate ally or prevent a business tragedy. While two idealists may differ in the specific set of rules they live by, they share the rigidity of doing what they believe to be “right”, even when it seems contrary to their business goals.

3. The Pragmatist School – “What goes around, comes around.”

The behaviour of a pragmatist may be inseperable from that of an idealist,but the motivation is different. While the idealist tells the truth and treats people fairly because it’s “the right thing to do”, the pragmatist tells the truth and treats people fairly because they believe it is the most effective way of getting things done. However, they will not hesitate to use deception as a necessary tool in pursuing their aims. Because pragmatists value their reputation (being seen to be honest), they will tend towards “misleading” statements over outright lies.

There are also combinations of these schools. “Pragmatic idealists” dothe right thing because of their ideals but are not above pushing the envelope of truth when the pressure is on and the chips are high; “pragmatic poker players” tend not to bluff in order to evolve their reputation as trustworthy, but will take advantage of that reputation when it really counts. “Idealistic poker players” are those among us who recognise business as a game, fully expect everyone around them to do their best to lie and cheat, but will only involve themselves in games they believe they can win by doing the “right” thing.

Possibly the most important thing to realise is that not everyone plays by your rules. Your being honest does not ensure others will be honest with you; similarly, your willingness to lie, cheat, and bend the rules does not mean the people you are doing with will do the same.

Here are a few things you can do to put these theories of business ethics into practice:

1. If you haven’t already, identify what “school” you belong to. Remember,your motivation is as important an indication of your ethics as your actions.

2. Identify at least one person that you know or have read about that seems to embody each of the three primary and three secondary schools of ethics. Once again, be aware that knowing someone’s actions without understanding their motivation will not necessarily reveal their ethical bent.

3. Discuss this tip with friends, and see what else you can discover that will enable you to be who you are while dealing ever-more effectively with others.

Have fun, learn heaps, and remember – a good poker player will inevitably tell you they’re an idealist!

Gay Versus Feminine Speech

We have all heard the stereotypes concerning gay men. One of them is concerning the way that they talk. The tone of their voice is supposed to be softer than a straight man’s voice. The feminine tones in a male’s voice are supposed to indicate that they are homosexual. Is there any truth to this?

Studies have been conducted to see if there is truth to the stereotype. Well, you have to realize that there is some validity to every stereotype. The fact of the matter is that there are always those who will break that stereotype; we need only to discover how many fit the mold and how many do not fit that mold. Research suggests that less than half of gay men actually ‘sound gay.’ Some gay men, in fact, sound very straight. It is also true that some straight men ‘sound gay.’

The feminine lisp, a breathy speech pattern or the ability to reach higher tones have always been triggers that suggest that a man is not heterosexual. It is difficult to pinpoint how this stereotype originated. It is also a challenge to figure out if there is a certain speech pattern or aspect of language that is common among a majority or all of gay men. Several studies have to done, however it is mostly white middle class gay men who have been researched.

Is there such a thing as ‘gayspeak?’ It has been said that the vocabulary, more than the quality and tone of the voice, is a better indicator that someone is homosexual. It has also been suggested that gays, as well as lesbians do have a language of their own. It is perhaps that one would have to be homosexual to understand the connotations of the words used and perhaps straight people just haven’t developed and understanding for it. It does make sense, since there is a community of gays and lesbians, and often communities develop their own way of communicating. These ways of communicating within a group are often discreet and difficult for outsiders to grasp.

If there is a ‘gayspeak’ that is unique to the homosexual community, it is very subtle. It may also be true that this language is widely varied, just as other languages have different dialects.

Generally, all we can really say is that some homosexual men ‘sound gay.’ Some heterosexual men ‘sound gay.’ Feminine tones in a male voice will probably always raise questions about the sexual orientation of that man. Sometimes they will be gay and other times they will be straight. As far as ‘gayspeak’ it is most likely true that there is a way that gay men communicate with each other, vocabulary wise and nonverbally, that people outside of the gay community probably won’t understand. Many men might sound more feminine than other men but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they are gay. Many men sound more masculine than other men, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they are straight.

Driver’s Seat

Why are manual transmission cars so much more fun to drive than automatics? It has to do with energy, and somehow being able to physically connect with energy, the energy of a car. It also has to do with control and specifically the exhilaration of being able to control mechanical power. Control is important, it is a learned skill. Control is freedom. It’s mind over matter, the ability to exert the will and make manifest its desires in the physical. With cars it’s about empowerment through physical control of the machine, the thrill and sense of accomplishment that comes from successfully organizing bodily motor skills to produce large amounts of kinetic energy. There’s no denying that Lamborghini’s new flagship model Aventador is an impressive looking beast. The car is aggressive but it is also highly refined, it brings its many lines together into a taut, resolved, and elegantly detailed shape. As far as aesthetics go the Aventador is the perfect next-decade iteration of Lamborghini’s distinctive style.

But does it have a soul?

Lamborghini as a brand began as a reaction to the status quo. When Ferruccio Lamborghini started out he chose a charging bull as his icon as he wanted to challenge the dominance of Ferrari. An owner of Ferraris himself, Ferruccio always felt that the performance of Ferrari’s engines and the build quality of their interiors did not live up to the hype surrounding their name, nor the price they demanded. So as an answer to this, he designed a more powerful engine and made his cars more comfortable. Hence Lamborghini as a brand came to be about courage, tenacity, independence, and going against the grain.

So when Lamborghini boss Stefan Winkelmann recently decided that all new models would not come with H-gate manual gearboxes anymore, but with mandatory paddle shift e-gear boxes instead, Lambo fans and car enthusiasts all over were justifiably bemused. Is this the same defiant Lamborghini we have grown to know and love, charging its own path in spite of the herd? Because although paddle shifters are all the rage and can boast quick change times, they are controlled by electronics that no matter how sophisticated, still introduce a micro-second delay between the moment the driver throws the paddle and the gear mechanically engaging. This delay is non-existent with traditional manuals because even though the movement of shifting a lever beside your knee versus a paddle behind the wheel is slower, the actual moment of torque is controlled directly by your body, and so the feedback from the car is instantaneous. Moreover, there is no electronic middleman to get in the way. You’re not sending a signal to a computer, you’re using the mechanics of your own body to control the mechanics of the car, and this makes for a more visceral and involved experience.

Now some will say that this is just progress, that digital technology has opened up the world and that this drive-by-wire approach is simply the way modern automotive technology is evolving. However it isn’t the technology itself that’s the problem, but rather the application of the technology which is the issue. When a technology amplifies the inherent nuanced, seemingly intangible, qualities of a product, then surely its role is appropriate. But as so often is the case with digital intervention, that which was once simple, reliable, transparent, intuitive and enjoyable, is wantonly replaced with invisible complexity, hiding behind a veneer of user-friendliness, and all delivering an experience of sameness, predictability, and boredom. With the Aventador and Lambos of old we’re talking about two different worlds. It is machined solid steel and instant-feedback, rifle-bolt actions in the hand, versus the clickity-clack of plasticky paddles at the fingers followed by a delayed response. Some technologies are simply pregnant with enduring quality, they connect the person to the product and they just make sense. To lose these for the sake of making everything “easy” is to lose the enduring human connections that make a brand great to begin with. Newer is not always better.

The human intellect, when it really seeks to understand and master its environment, has the deep desire to acquire learning and competence. Through learning and competence comes self-sufficiency, which at the heart of it, lies freedom and in a sense power. Our current state of the art shows signs of a trend towards oversimplification and increasing abstraction through digital technologies. But as its sophistry increases to automate the mundane aspects of life we could do without, so does its encroaching on the other areas of our lives where we want to remain the masters and decision-makers. We’re being removed from the real world by layers and layers of digital artifice, and this decision by Lamborghini to abolish traditional manual transmissions, in favour of electronic transmissions, is an apt example of this trend.

For this reason the Aventador, although nice, stands in stark contrast to its predecessors, and its brand. It Is a car, or rather a philosophy, that doesn’t quite let you sit in the driver’s seat.

How to Select the Right Aftermarket ATV Exhaust for You

Selecting the right exhaust for your ATV or UTV

Buying a new exhaust for your atv or utv is by far the easiest and fastest way to gain lots of extra power from your machine. But before you buy, It’s important to do your research and not run out and buy the first or cheapest exhaust system you find. Nothing is worse than wasting your hard earned cash on something your just not happy with. In order to avoid that, here’s some things to keep in mind:

PERFORMANCE

If you’re like me, the first and most important thing on your list is performance. Performance can sometimes be the cure-all for any other downfalls you may see in a product. Even if it looks and sounds like someone stuck an old soup can back there, if it outperforms everything else, your happy and ready to sing its praises.

All exhausts are not created equal, the power delivery for every pipe is different. Sometimes its hard to determine which exhausts perform the best. The easiest way is to read your favorite atv or utv magazine pipe shootouts. They usually have the best expert opinions plus dyno runs with hard figures you can compare. It’s also a good idea to look at what people have to say on popular online forums.

You can learn a lot from dyno sheets, learn how to read them and what the number’s mean. The pipe with the highest peak horsepower number doesn’t always mean it delivers the best “useable” power. You want to find an exhaust that shows good power increases throughout the powerband. Keep in mind your riding style and around what rpm range you do most of your riding.

Keep in mind, If you plan to modify your motor in the future you may want to go with and exhaust that performs better on a modified motor versus a stock motor.

LOOKS

This part is fairly self explanatory. Just keep in mind that there are many different styles and options out there for exhausts like: different shapes, exhaust tips, colored, chromed, brushed aluminum, carbon fiber and way more.

SOUND LEVEL:

As time goes on this particular area has become more and more important. A lot more than just your comfort level should be considered. You should always check with your favorite riding area to see if there are sound restrictions. Most tracks also have restrictions/ limitations.

What types of activities will you be using this ATV or UTV for? (i.e. Hunting) It’s not always fun to swap out your new exhaust for the stock one, every time you want to keep things quiet. Do you ride through your own, or other, neighborhood to get to your riding area? Not fun to deal with angry neighbors or pay tickets. Plus as an ATV community it’s important to be respectful of others, the last thing we need is an excuse for someone to close another trail or riding area.

Another thing to keep in mind if your riding in national forest is if your exhaust is USFS approved or does it have an USFS approved spark arrestor. If your not sure contact the manufacturer.

MANUFACTURER:

You should feel comfortable with the exhaust manufacturer, do they have good a good reputation for developing good quality products? Are they well established in the industry? Are they available for product support?

ASSOCIATED COSTS:

Make sure you are aware of everything that comes with the purchase of your exhaust system. Here a a few things to look for:

- Jet kit or proper jetting recomendations.

- EFI controller for fuel injected systems

- Are you paying for a full system or slip on

A. generally an aftermarket header may only net you a couple horsepower. Is this worth the additional cost?

- Air intake system

When weighing the Cost it is important to keep in mind these additional purchases you may need to make.

Purchasing a new exhaust system for your machine isn’t a cheap or simple process. Do your research. In the end you’ll have the peace of mind that you spent your money wisely. Be safe and Have fun!

Rules of En-Tangoment – Dance Floor Etiquette

All social activities have rules of etiquette and social dancing is no different. There are general rules of etiquette that apply to all forms of dancing-smooth, Latin, Texas Two-step, even disco line dance. Knowing these rules will make the dance floor experience enjoyable for everyone.

Before the Dance

There is no delicate way to put this: Please practice good hygiene. Offensive body odors and bad breath are frowned upon on the dance floor. Many dance aficionados will go so far as to avoid eating certain strong foods on the days they are planning to dance. At the very least, a good shower, deodorant, and a swig of mouthwash will ensure that you dance the night away without offending your partner.

Clothing will vary by the type of event – formal, semi-formal, dressy casual, even shorts— but can also vary by the type of dance. You may choose to wear western wear for country line dancing, or dark themed clothing for Tango. This is not required but if you are a novice it is great way to get accepted into a new dance community. There are a few general rules that apply to all dances:

• Avoid big accessories that can get caught in your partner’s clothing or, worse, scratch or bruise someone.

• It is advisable to avoid tennis shoes or any rubber soled, spongy type shoe. These shoes tend to stick to the floor (as they are intended to); if you are executing spins and turns, you can injure an ankle or knee.

• Remember that dancing will require a partner. It is not pleasant to touch someone’s damp, sticky skin so avoid sleeveless shirts and dresses.

• Women with long hair should consider wearing it up or in a ponytail to avoid hitting a partner in the face during a spin or having your partner’s hand get caught in it.

• Men should carry keys and loose change in their left pants pocket making it less likely to bruise their partner.

At the Dance

Before you hit the dance floor, you will need a partner. It is considered rude to dance with the same partner all night, even if it happens to be your spouse! If you came with a partner it is generally accepted that they shall have the first and last dance. It is also considered rude to dance more than two songs in a row with the same person.

When asking someone to dance, you should do so politely and accept a refusal just as politely. These days it is acceptable for men and women to ask someone to dance. If you are on the receiving end of an invitation, remember that it is rude to turn down a dance with someone and then accept an invitation from another partner during the same song.

Once a song is over, men should escort women back to their seats or to wherever they were standing prior to the dance. If someone has just finished dancing, wait until they are completely off the dance floor before inviting them back out again. Do not pounce on someone as they are leaving the dance floor.

Do not block access to the dance floor by standing and talking or moving chairs into pathways. Dance spaces are usually crowded so be considerate of others’ space.

Social dances are categorized into two types – progressive and spot dances. Progressive dances travel the floor like the Polka, Foxtrot, and Waltz. Spot dances are typically danced in one spot and include Salsa, Rumba and East Coast Swing. Dancers move counterclockwise around the floor in progressive dances. This is known as the line of dance and is like an imaginary circle going counterclockwise. In addition to the line of dance there are two lanes, the outside or fast lane and the inside or slow lane. Dances such as the Tango, Waltz, and Foxtrot are danced in the two outer lanes. Spot dances such as the Cha Cha, Swing or slow dancing are danced in the inside lanes.

Newbie dancers should move toward the center or outer edges, depending on the style of dance. While newbies should concede more space to more experienced dancers, it is equally rude for experienced dancers to hog floor space with fancy moves which force other dancers out of the way.

By following these simple rules of dance etiquette, you are sure to have a great time dancing the night away!

Useful Information On Sports Arbitrage

Sports arbitrage refers to the idea of making a definite profit from a variation in odds between sports books. Usually, backing all results of a particular sporting event at a particular bookmaker would lead to a person guaranteeing a small percentage of loss referred to as the bookmaker’s margin. Nonetheless, if one takes the best competing chances from various bookmakers, it is likely to make guaranteed loss turn into a guaranteed profit.

It can be assumed that most individuals practice sports betting arbitrage to increase their income part time. A person ought to be in a position to make between five and ten percent on his capital each month. This does not even include any extra cash an individual may make by using any bonuses or free bets.

However, prior to a person beginning to bet it is usually prudent to spend time practicing. This will help to ensure the person knows what he is doing and that he is confident on procedure. If a person has say $10000 to invest then he should not be too anxious about making all of the $10000 work for him straight away.

So, someone wishing to engage in sports betting must first practice with little amounts. A person should see how long it takes him from receiving his alert or finding his opportunity, to placing his bet. One ought to make notes on any troubles that took much more time than anticipated.

Many bookmakers give first time betters a sign-up bonus of $10 to $200 for placing an initial amount. They normally require that this sum is wagered a certain number of times prior to the bonus being withdrawn. Bonus arbitraging is a type of sports arbitraging where an individual hedges or backs his bets as usual.

However, since one obtained the bonus, a little loss may be permitted on each wager, which comes off the profit. This way, the sports bookmakers wagering requirement may be met. Also the initial sign up bonus and deposit may be withdrawn with modest losses.

This form of betting is more advantageous than typical betting arbitrage. This is because it is much simpler to find bets with a tolerable loss, rather than an actual profit. As most bookmakers provide these bonuses this could potentially be taken advantage of to reap the sign up bonuses.

It is possible to turn bets into cash pretty fast by signing up to several bookmakers. This will ensure one either makes a small arbitrage or a small loss on each bet. Nonetheless, it is rather time consuming to get close matched arbs or bets, which is where a close matched bet or arb service is useful.

In addition to spending plenty of time actually matching odds from several betting sites to exchanges, the other disadvantage with arbitrage trading is that usually the free bets are cannot be returned. This in fact reduces the chances, in decimal format, by one. Thus, so as to cut losses on the free bets, it is essential to place bets with high odds to minimize the percentage difference of the reduction in odds.
