Using Neutrons to Detect Explosive Devices

Using Neutrons to Detect Explosive Devices Using Neutrons to Detect Explosive Devices Using Neutrons to Detect Explosive DevicesOne of the greatest threats to ground troops today is improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Methods used for detecting these devices are low-tech, dangerous, and time-consuming, often relying on visual identification or explosives-sniffing dogs. Therefore the U.S. military is eager to find a reliable technology that can detect these devices from a distance and alert moving troops, before they arrive at the IED location.Any effective solution must be portable, reliable, durable, and extremely sensitive at a large standoff distance. Neutron-based, explosive-detection technologies have been tried in the past. However, due to relatively weak neutron source strength, detection standoff distances have been limited to one meter or less.A high-yield neutron generator. Image Phoenix Nuclear LabsThanks to the development of a high-voltage, nuclear fusion-based particle accelerator technology by Phoenix Nuclear Labs (PNL) in Monona, WI, this standoff distance has now been extended to 30 meters, with a high degree of accuracy. If widely deployed, this detection technology will save thousands of military and civilian lives.How It WorksThe detection technology is based on a neutron generator that is 1,000 times stronger than conventional accelerator-based neutron generators.This is achieved by accelerating deuterium at 300,000 volts into a gaseous target to generate nuclear fusion reactions.Key features include a microwave-based electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source, electrostatic accelerator, and differential pumping ordnungsprinzip that utilizes multiple gas-pumping technologies, notes Ross Radel, president of Phoenix Nuclear Labs.Called NEMESIS (neutron emitting mobile explosives sensing and identification system), the device can generate steady state neutron production as high as 1014 neutrons per second. The broad energy spectrum allows the determination of all key nuclear elemental signatures nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, silicon, and iron. Using a very intense neutron source solves many of the challenges that face neutron generators, such as false-positive responses to silicon, wet soil conditions, and background detection of nitrogen in air. Neutron time behavior and active background leads to efficient multi-tier decision process with a probability of detection of greater than 95% and a probability of false detection of less than 5%, in operationally relevant time frames.When nitrogen is hit by neutrons, it emits high-energy gamma rays. Image Phoenix Nuclear LabsThe high-flux neutron generator is mounted to a vehicle at head of the convoy, emitting a pulsed neutron beam in the direction of travel. When the neutron beam interacts with a hidden IED, the explosive werkstoffs in the IED emit characteristic radiation signals that are detected either by the lead vehicle. Explosive materials have a unique chemic al composition (including especially high levels of nitrogen and oxygen) that distinguishes them from other materials. When nitrogen is hit by neutrons, it emits high-energy gamma rays that can be detected by simple radiation detectors. Detecting these gamma rays is what identifies the presence of an IED.Because NEMESIS directly detects the explosive material itself, rather than the metallic bomb components, the so-called detection-proof bombs that are made without metal, wires, or electronic triggering mechanisms are just as easy to detect as any other bombs, says Radel.The technology is as effective for homemade, fertilizer-based explosives as it is for advanced military explosives.Future ApplicationsThis technology can also detect special nuclear material (SNM) like uranium-235 or plutonium, which can be used to make nuclear weapons. Passive detection technologies do not work well for SNM because fissile material is weakly radioactive and easy to shield. However, fissile material s do emit intense bursts of neutrons and gamma rays when bombarded with neutrons, which means they can be easily detected with NEMESIS.Weve known for some time that certain types of improvised explosive devices can potentially go undetected through existing scanners that use X-rays, says Radel. The beauty of our system is that it can detect unconventional explosives, such as homemade explosives, that might not be caught by existing security infrastructure.Phoenix Nuclear Labs is also using its core neutron generator technology for other applications, such as neutron radiography (an analog to conventional X-ray radiography) and quality assurance applications for military, aerospace, and composite material components.The core neutron generator is also being used by SHINE Medical Technologies to produce medical isotopes. Radel is also eager to use the technology for humanitarian missions, such as clearing land mines, which kill 15,000 to 20,000 people every year.Mark Crawford is an ind ependent writer. For Further DiscussionThe detection technology is based on a neutron generator that is 1,000 times stronger than conventional accelerator-based neutron generators.

4 signs youre a helicopter coworker and how to stop

4 signs youre a helicopter coworker and how to stop4 signs youre a helicopter coworker and how to stopEveryone has heard of helicopter parenting, but have you heard of helicopter co-working? Even if you havent heard of it, but youve definitely experienced it. Weve all had that one coworker who seemed a little too into your work. Who reveled at asking what you did today, or if you needed help with this or that. Its easy to get caught up in caring for your company and wanting it to succeed, but theres a fine line between promoting success and overstepping your boundaries.If you think you may be that coworker, were here to help you identify whether or not youre driving your colleagues a bit insane. And if it turns out you are a helicopter, we have some advice on how to stop.1. Warning sign You refuse to let people do their own work.Aaron Haynes, anentrepreneurand digital marketer, wrote about helicopter behavior in the workplace forEntrepreneur, saying that if you feel as though you a re busier than your professional counterparts who have similar responsibilities, it could be because youre too busy completing both your tasks and other employees tasks. Trust in the people your company hired and allow them to do their own work.2. Warning sign Your coworkers are getting upset with your requests.Just as children dont enjoy helicopter parenting, employees do not enjoy helicopter coworking. When you are constantly watching a peer over her shoulder or asking for position updates every hour or critiquing her every move, she is likely to get frustrated. Your coworkers want to feel as though you believe in them - and if you dont, they will lose morale, potentially leading to a high turnover rate in your office.3. Warning sign You think most of your coworkers are under-performers.Are your coworkers under-performing, or are you setting your standards too high? You might feel your coworkers arent doing the best job because you arent giving them the chance to. If you are heli coptering all over your office, your fellow employees are less likely to perform to their best ability.4. Warning sign You believe that you and only you have the best approach to most tasks.According to Haynes, assuming you are the best shows you believe your peers to be inferior. By helicoptering them, youll never allow them the chance to make necessary mistakes in order to learn from them and develop their own solution to each issue. Your behavior could also be causing self-doubt among your team.Muriel Maignan Wilkins, co-founder and managing partner of executive coaching andleadershipfirm Paravis Partners, gave her advice on how to stop helicopter coworking forHarvard geschftlicher umgang Review.1. Tip Wilkins put it best when she said Get over yourself.Stop trying to rationalize why you need to be a helicopter coworker to your peers. And start reminding yourself why you shouldnt be engaging in this workplace behavior.2. Tip Start little and work your way up.Make a list of the ta sks you should be allowing other employees to complete, in order of small, menial tasks to large, influential ones. Begin by letting go of the smaller tasks - allow yourself to get comfortable losing some control.3. Tip Realize that you can share an end-goal expectation without explaining how to get there.You want to remain on the same page as your coworkers. Feel free to give small advice or discuss the ultimate goal for a specific project, but allow them to figure out how to get there on their own.This article originally appeared on Fairygodboss.

Wear this color after you make a mistake at work

Wear this color after you make a mistake at work Wear this color after you make a mistake at work With the recent onslaught of high-profile celebrity court cases (the college admissions scandal, Cardi B and Elizabeth Holmes), courtroom fashion has sadly become an actual thing. Some of the plaintiffs, like Anna Sorokin (the young woman who posed as an heiress all the while swindling individuals and businesses out of hundreds of thousands of dollars to support her being the adult version of Eloise) are actually working with stylists and you know Cardi B, Lori Loughlin, and Felicity Huffman consulted with experts before choosing their courtroom attire.Now hopefully none of us have a reason to be appearing in court anytime soon, but we can learn something from these public figures’ choice of apparel as there is a psychology and strategy behind these looks.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!There are actually two schools of thought. You may want to keep these sartorial choice s in mind if you make a mistake at work and want to project an innocence.Opt for white or beigeWhen it comes to establishing that you are not culpable, you want to lean towards colors that invoke a sense of purity so white or beige or perhaps a light gray is your friend. Sorokin took this to the extreme by not only wearing white dresses but white baby doll dresses in an attempt to literally make herself appear more childlike.She followed the same school of thought as pre-comeback Winona Ryder’s court look back in 2002. After being accused of shoplifting $5,560.40 worth of designer clothing and accessories from the Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills, Ryder chose Marc Jacobs, amongst other designers, for a collection of the primmest and most proper designs for her days on trial.Robin Givhan of The Washington Post wrote of the Ryder’s fashion portfolio: “Ryder favored softly flowing skirts â€" nothing tight or too fitted â€" and delicate details such as lace and embroidery. Her e nsembles announced â€" loudly and repeatedly â€" her delicacy, fragility, and innocence.” Some of the pieces she wore were even a few years old which also signaled that Ryder was attempting to be frugal however Givhan noted that the clothing “Over time, however, such emphatic declarations can become off-putting and suspicious.”Cardi B, who is on trial for her involvement in a bar brawl, opted for the color white as well but she wore it in the form of long pants and a tunic by Christian Siriano, which is more professional and invokes confidence. This is less about screaming, “I’m innocent!” and is more of a power move.Suits for the winMost stylists clearly tell their celebrity clients that a suit is a way to go as we saw with Holmes. She finally ditched her ripped-off-signature-black-turtleneck and pants ensemble for a light gray suit paired with a blue button down. Again opting for those lighter hues. Gray also represents tranquility and maturity.However, both Huffman an d Loughlin went with darker colors for their courtroom appearances (black and light brown respectively) though they did stick with suits.  Debra F. Bogaards, a lawyer who advises clients and experts on what to wear for court, depositions, and mediations through her firm,  Bogaards Law, said she advises people to wear gray, navy and brown to court to appear more honest. Now navy and brown aren’t light colors but they invoke a tone of seriousness and reliability which can be helpful after a person has made a mistake.It also seems that you are supposed to wear glasses to appear more studious perhaps as Sorokin and Loughlin both did this for court. But there may be some merit to it as  a recent study found that people with higher levels of intelligence were more likely to be nearsighted or myopic than those with lower scores.Bogaard always tells her female clients to choose a suit, dress or cardigan and to always cover up their arms. Cleavage, short skirts, open-toed and super high sh oes are all no-nos and no flashy jewelry.   Just look at any outfit Lindsay Lohan wore during her years in court for what not to do as she sported shorts, tight dresses, designer clothing, jeans, platform heels and flashy jewelry on multiple occasions.You might also enjoy… New neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happy Strangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds 10 lessons from Benjamin Franklin’s daily schedule that will double your productivity The worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs 10 habits of mentally strong people

How to Avoid Getting a Resume Rejection Letter

How to Avoid Getting a Resume Rejection Letter How to Avoid Getting a Resume Rejection Letter interesting experience. After all, you get to revisit all of your previous positions and cherry-pick all the positive experiences and accolades you’ve garnered from working at various companies. That said, many people equate resume writing to a trip to the dentist- and sadly, your lack of enthusiasm can show in your resume. And you can wind up with a resume rejection letter in hand. Here are six  tips for avoiding that  resume rejection letter: 1. Make it  easy to read. If your font size is way too small and your spacing is all over the place, you may quickly end up in the no pile. Your resume should be quick and easy to read, and if it’s not, you might wind up getting a resume rejection letter- even if you’re totally qualified for the job. If you’re not up on the current styles for resumes, check out some new ones online, or consider hiring a resume writer who can polish your resume up and make it look pretty- and perfect. 2. Make sure its not too long. It’s been said that resumes are often read/scanned in under six  seconds, so you have to make every moment count. That’s why your resume should only include relevant details and information. Remember, being long-winded is never a good thing, either on a resume or a subsequent job interview. 3. Make sure youre not over-qualified. If there’s a pink elephant on your resume, and it’s the fact that you are, well, too qualified for the position you’re applying for, that might hurt more than it helps. Sure, you could pretend that your accomplishments aren’t an issue, but any employer worth his salt is going to question why you’re applying for a job that you’re overqualified for. He might think that you’re desperate or that you’ll abandon ship in a few weeks or months once you realize how bored you are. Rethink whether you want to apply for that position, or be prepared to address the issue during the job interview. 4. Customize  it. Its tempting to blast out your resume to anyone and everyone hiring when youre unemployed. But sending out a generic resume to every employer isnt going to land you a job! Employers want to hire people  who a) know their company, and b) want to make a career there. So you need to take the time to tailor your resume to show that youre interested in  this  particular job at this particular  company. Use some words and phrases from the job posting or their website to show that youve done your homework, and use your resume to paint an honest picture of who you are and why youd be the perfect addition to their team. 5. Highlight the fact that youve worked remotely beforeand did it successfully. If  you’re applying for a remote job, and youve worked remotely before, make sure you highlight that on your resume.  Also include examples of ways in which you thrived as a remote employee. 6. Dont forget to showcase your  soft skills. When you’re applying for a job, it makes sense to have your resume reflect the job experience necessary in order to be considered for the position. But don’t forget about your soft skills, which are vital when you’re submitting your resume for a remote job. In the skills section, be sure to include keywords such as “strong communicator,” “excellent time management skills,” and “self-motivated.” These are some of the key characteristics that you’ll need in order to work remotely, and by highlighting them, you’ll show a potential boss that you can telecommute successfully. Penning your resume can be painful, but it’s critical to make sure that it’s done correctly so that you can avoid getting a resume rejection and be called in for a job interview instead!

What do we do about truth It isnt what you think it is

What do we do about truth It isn’t what you think it is What do we do about truth It isn’t what you think it is I have a sacred relationship with sound. When certain types of music find their groove, I fall into a trance: My right foot taps into the rhythm, a smile carves across my face, my head begins to nod, and my eyes, at first, grow wide as they take in the surrounding imagery and then, at last, let themselves drop as the vibrations move through my body.There is a certain completeness that I experience when this happens. For one, the subject-object dichotomy appears for what it is: a delicate creation of either the mind or the body. I cease to exist as a separate entity in my environment, shooting beyond my day to day self-centeredness, as I shine a light on the invisible threads that connect me to the world. On the other hand, this same subject-object dichotomy appears even more pronounced, highlighting the strange contradiction inherent in everything that I, otherwise, think of as true and beautiful.I’ve long wondered why I respond differently to sound than I do words or visuals. To b e sure, it’s not that reading a book or looking at a painting can’t evoke a similar experience. They can, and they do. It’s just that the depth of consciousness that I reach when I lose myself in music extends into a state of mind beyond the flow that I encounter in words and images.There is, naturally, the fear, as I write this, that I’m being overly romantic, that my description of how I make sense of my relationship to music is more a post-event rationalization than it is an accurate encapsulation of what truly happens, but let’s play the game anyway. Let’s see where it takes us.IAs a kid, if you had given me a math or a science test, that test would have been returned to you not too long after, all the questions completed as they should. If, on the other hand, you had asked me to create something, I would have failed; not only due to incompetence but also because I wouldn’t have tried. That’s not who I was.To illustrate the difference, think about how a conscious experience works. In any moment, you, as a subject, will focus your attention on a particular part of reality, where there are various distinct objects in front of you. When doing a math test, you may objectify a triangle, a few numbers, and a question. On a creative assignment, you may instead have a pen and a blank paper.Now, when it comes to the math test, all the information is already there. You just need to use your existing knowledge to connect those objects in a way that creates a certain answer. There is something that is clearly right; there is something that is clearly wrong. On a creative assignment, only some of the information is there, but you still have to use your existing knowledge to connect those objects, and this creates an important distinction: The lack of information means that there is no certain answer.My thinking for most of my youth was logic-heavy. If I had a clear question with rigid boundaries to confine it, then finding a solution to anything was nev er a problem. As long as I knew what I was looking for, I could make sense of the objects in front of me, and I could connect them in a way that would lead to my preferred destination.This love of certainty, however, did come at a cost. Much of my incompetence with creative tasks was borne from an identity that didn’t think of itself as creative because it couldn’t find a clear answer on the blank page. And when it couldn’t find a clear answer, it told itself that there was no truth there and that it wasn’t even worth looking.My mistake was to see creativity as nothing more than a game, a kind of play, one that I didn’t need. Of course, play it is, but associating the lack of certainty that is inherent in any artistic creation with a lack of truth-value ignores the uncertain nature of reality, a reality in which what is most true is fluid and dynamic, a reality that transcends pure logic.As I’ve gotten older and more comfortable with this uncertainty, I have walked towar ds it, letting it pull me away, embracing its inconsistencies - one step at a time, one moment at a time.IIIn mathematics, a fractal is an object with a recursive, geometric pattern that repeats itself across different scales and sizes. No matter how far you zoom in or how far you zoom out, the pattern remains the same. In nature, for example, we see this kind of complexity in snowflakes, seashells, and lightning bolts.A year ago, on a late night in the company of friends, lost in the sound of the classical music of Bach (which we are usually not in the habit of playing around each other), I was struck by a particularly strong intuition. At that moment, I was so moved by the sound around me that I couldn’t help but feel that that man had tapped into a rhythm of the universe that was as true to reality as the laws of physics.For months, I didn’t think much of this intuition beyond appreciating its sentimental value. But then something else struck me: What if there are fractals e mbedded in music that make it what it is?Sure enough, a quick search returned studies by others who had had similar thoughts, indeed finding elementary hints of them in Bach’s music. Benoit Mandelbrot, the man who coined the term fractal, was sure that music in general carried them, hiding in patterns we have yet to decipher.IIIA famous, old quote by the pre-Socratic philosopher Heraclitus says: “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.” In other words, we live in a universe of change: matter changes, the mind changes, and the interaction between them changes.This change is neither predictable nor consistent. Parts of reality, those that abide by the laws of physics, have a mathematical harmony that we can trust, but as soon as you mix in observers with subjective experiences, this trust, at least in the broader context, gets clouded away by uncertainty.Living with uncertainty, then, brings forth a question: What do we do about truth? If we can’t be sure that there is ever anything fixed and concrete to hold onto, no foundation other than the simplicity of change and impermanence, is there any hope we might capture some aspect of what could be considered eternally true beyond the confines of a systematic, logical framework - something not bound by specific questions and answers?One response, perhaps, is that if we move away from the reduction of reality created in our conscious experience by the language we use to divide and conquer our surroundings, we can aspire toward more complete knowledge.If we understand change for what it is, there is a way to see that uncertainty isn’t the absence of truth but a component of it. When change is viewed as a non-divisible process that doesn’t stop so that we can measure it here and then there - that it can’t be captured in words and formulas- there is a way see how every moment is both consistent and contradictory, a part and a whole, bounded a nd boundless - everything and nothing.Growing up, I didn’t see that. My mind worked to uncover the consistencies, the parts, and the things that are bounded, but it completely missed the other side. It wasn’t until I started thinking outside of that box, pursuing more creative thoughts and activities, that I was able to complement my limited understanding with everything that I was missing - like the contradictions, the wholes, and the boundlessness.The truth is both logical and creative at the same time, and this tension is at the core of what it means to exist, and it’s responsible for creating every other dichotomy that we find ourselves being pulled between.IVOne thing to note about fractals is that their abstract mathematical existence differs from how they appear in nature. In our mind, captured in symbols, they are infinite. Whereas in the natural world, they are not. Even if music exists on some hypothetical plane of logic, the world of matter doesn’t fully corresp ond to it, disturbing its sense of flawlessness.There is, however, something about music that attaches it to the truth, and this something is precisely the fact that it isn’t infinite as a fractal. It combines both the perfection of logic and the imperfection of creativity when it manifests in reality, and it uses that combination to overload our senses with an experience that is larger than both the order and the chaos, without taking away their unique essences.As I think this through, I suspect that my own connection to sound is a bias of my body, or perhaps even a bias of our technologies, as once we set music in motion, we can easily augment its effect by manipulating it so that it hits harder than the words and the stories on paper or the visuals and paintings on canvases. We have more control over how and where we interact with it.The point, nonetheless, is that art in general does something that we typically and mistakenly credit science with: It lets us peer beyond appeara nces and see the truth of our existence. Science, contrary to popular belief, isn’t about truth; it’s about utility: about what works in this world, with a certain degree of confidence, where one thing is wrong and another one is right. It does, of course, capture some truth, but not all of it.Good art, on the other hand, isn’t just merely creative. It, too, has a partial system of logic tied to it, where some degree of rightness and wrongness is distinguished. This logical edifice, however, is also peppered with contradictions, wholes, and boundlessness - things that balance the order of what we understand in fixed and concrete terms.As someone who until a few years ago had an aversion to the word spiritual, I don’t feel qualified to claim alliance to a particular source of absolute truth, nor do I feel complete certainty about what it even is. But what I do know is that if art has any real purpose beyond its role as an outlet of expression and connection, it’s to mimic the dance of reality.The great books, albums, paintings, and other mediums of ingenuity condense the mystery of the universe into a form of vitality, one that not only shares a message but also moves you to really see the world.In one way or another, we are all looking for a connection to something that transcends the impermanence of change. The only way there, however, is to latch on to the thing that best embodies change itself.Want to think and live smarter?

How to Gain an Instant Advantage on the Job Search

How to Gain an Instant Advantage on the Job Search How to Gain an Instant Advantage on the Job Search There’s no time to lose when distinguishing yourself from the competition. Try these tactics to make a connection.In this market, you need to leave people wanting more. And you need to move quickly to provoke that response.Here’s a tool chest of devices for capturing and holding attention. If you execute them consistently, these practices will attract both employers and networking contacts, giving you the edge you need to get noticed, get remembered and get hired!1. Forget about being memorable - be unforgettable.At their core, all first impressions are based on how you make others feel, in that moment. And the secret is, that kind of energy, enthusiasm, warmth and positivity isn’t just attractive - it’s infectious.Here are ways to make sure your first impressions elevate your visibility: Create conversational deficit. Upon meeting someone, try playing a game called, “Let’s See How Long I Can Go Without Talking About Myself.” Both you and your conversation partner win every time. One. Extra. Second. When you smile at people, hold that smile forone additional moment. Look ‘em straight in the eyes. It’s subtle, yet powerful. Insert and excavate passion. Get on the topic of passion. Enthusiasm will have no choice but to cloak the conversation. Your conversations will change people. Remember: If you execute these practices when employers are around, it will be impossible for them to forget you. How do most people feel when they’re around you? How are you making communication a relaxing experience?2. Start branding your own language.The No. 1 most overlooked personal-branding hotspot is your language. Language is everything. Language increases hireability. Language changes minds. Language makes money. Language communicates presence. Language reveals brilliance. Most of all, language differentiates you.Consider two suggestions for increasing your “language equity”: Quote yourself more. If you don’t quote yourself, nobody else will. (And you can quote me on that.) Have confidence in your cranium. Even consider writing down a list of your 20 best sayings, “you-isms” or one-liners. For the No. 1 best example of branding your language on the Web, check out this way-cool quotation generator Web site atwww.stuffscottsaid.com. Publish a lot. How visible you become is a function of how far your thoughts travel. Start blogging today. Get on Twitter tomorrow. Own your material. If you’ve got writer’s block, just make a list called “101 Business Lessons Learned from My Old Job at (x).” That’ll keep you busy for a while. Remember: It’s not about market share - it’s about mind share. Your goal is to begin owning words in people’s minds. I challenge you to become known for your language, expressions and ideas. How are you branding your own language? Have you gone public with your thoughts, ideas, words and expertise?3. Change everything by writing everything.Here’s an axiom of creativity: If you don’t write it down, it never happened.What’s more, writing makes you better at everything you do: Thinking. Speaking. Planning. Marketing. Selling.So, consider this three-part exercise for turning your pen into a new position: Brainstorm your “personal philosophy.” At the top of a piece of paper, write the following: “If everybody did exactly what I said, what would the world look like?” Take some time to answer this question with five to 10 bullet points. Organize your “personal philosophy.” Your answers will become the framework of your personal philosophy. Your way of treating people. Your manner of doing business. Your Theory of the Universe. Share your “personal philosophy.” Eventually, once your philosophy is perfected, print it out on small laminated cards and give it to everybody. Also publish it online in an easily accessible location. People will start talking. Remember: Writing brings clarity. Writing intensifies impact. Writing untangles threads. Writing makes interviewing easier. What did you write today? What philosophy are you known for? And is everything you know written down somewhere?4. Make the mundane memorable.In a commoditized world, service is the key differentiator. Making the mundane memorable is the secret to elevating your visibility. Your challenge is to create seamlessness among all marketing touch points.Be sure to put your stamp on three underused pages of the personal-branding playbook: Phone greeting. What are the very first words out of your mouth when you answer the phone? Something boring like, “Thanks for calling”?Come on. You can do better than that! Have some fun. Say something that reinforces your brand and makes callers smile. Desk welcome. Ninety-nine percent of the hotels in the world greet customers with, “Next in line!” “Checking in?” or “Last name please…” What if you tried, “You finally made it!” “I’ve been waiting for you” or “Welcome to paradise!” People would talk. Subject line. Amazingly, some people don’t even write anything in their e-mail subject lines. Big mistake. This is the perfect place to have some fun, deliver value and engage your recipient. Consider asking a question like, “I just wrote a blog post that features your company!” Kind of hard not to open that e-mail first. Remember: When you execute these types of strategies, five things happen: Customers start talking. You have more fun. The brand lives and breathes in a new way. Uniqueness shines through. Loyalty increases. How are you making the mundane memorable? How many people are calling your voicemail every week, just to hear what it says this time?By executing these strategies, you’ll be sure to gain an instant advantage!Let me ask ya this:What are you known for?

8 Best Practices for Successful Remote Workers

8 Best Practices for Successful Remote Workers 8 Best Practices for Successful Remote Workers These days, it isn’t always necessary to commute to work every day. More and more people are working from home , or from any location where they can have access to the Internet. Working remotely offers a lot of benefits and freedoms, and there are many jobs that can easily be done from home. Plenty of companies are now offering work-from-home positions , and there are also thousands of freelance jobs available for those who want to work remotely and be their own boss. But, working remotely also has its drawbacks, because it can be too easy to slack off and not get things done. Here are some tips that will help you to be a productive and successful remote worker . A lot of people think that being able to work in their jammies is a dream come true. But, successful remote workers get dressed before the begin working. When you sit around in pajamas with blankets and pillows, it is all too easy to end up getting lazy and not getting anything done because you are too comfy. Plus, if you have to meet with your team or clients, you will be all dressed and ready to go, even if you are only given a moment’s notice. It will also help to boost your self-esteem when you look good, even if you are the only person to see it. One of the great things about being a remote worker is that you can set a schedule that works for you. If you are morning person, you can start your day early. If you are more of a night owl, you can begin working at midnight. Just remember, once you set a schedule, you need to stick with it in order to get your work done. Create a schedule that will allow you to get the most done with as few interruptions as possible. Don’t forget to include appointments, meetings, and allow some time for unexpected interruptions. That way, you won’t become frazzled when the unexpected happens. It is a good idea to use an employee timesheet template to help keep track of your schedule, projects, hours or work, earnings, etc. If you are required to have meetings with your team, clients, etc., make sure that you try to schedule everything to take place back-to-back, within the same time block. That way, you don’t have to stop and start what you are doing to go from one meeting to another. You can get them done all at once, and get back to work without having to worry about further interruptions. If you have other appointments, you can schedule them in the same manner so you can get things done faster and be more productive. When you set up a space that is specifically for your work and nothing else, it is a lot easier to get your work done because you don’t have a lot of distractions. Find a room in your home that is not used for other purposes, and turn that into your office. Of course, you always have the freedom to switch it up once in a while, and create a new and different workspace to keep you from becoming bored and ending up being easily distracted, and then you won’t be nearly as productive. As a remote worker, you are going to be using your email more than ever, so it is time to become an expert at it. First of all, be very precise in your wording, as it is easy to take things the wrong way in email communications . Keep all emails documented, and make sure that you take the time to read and answer all of your business emails. Use your email to share everything with your team, from face-to-face conversations to online conversations, and more. Take advantage of this important tool, and set up distribution lists to make sure that the emails you send always get to the right parties. Your workspace should include all of the tools you will need to get your work done. As a remote worker, there are specific tools you are going to need, including a headset, a laptop or other mobile device, video conferencing (Skype is a good example), meeting tools (LiveMeeting is a popular option for many remote workers), a microphone (external and noise-cancelling, not the laptop internal microphone, which is low quality), etc. Not only do you need to use the right tools, you also need to make sure that you know how to use them properly, in order to get the most out of them. Because you work remotely, you are not tied down to any one specific location. You might be surprised at how much more productive you can be if you move to a different location once in a while. Instead of sitting inside, move to your yard, or to a local coffee shop. It is going to help to re-energize you, and you won’t be bored by looking at the same surroundings all the time. Working remotely is about freedom, after all, and as long as you have an Internet connection, you have the freedom to work from just about anywhere in the world. When you are a remote worker, it can be really easy to start becoming more and more of a loner. You need to make sure that in addition to scheduling your work time, that you also schedule time to get out and be social with others. You don’t want to become that person who never leaves their home and becomes the neighborhood “hermit”. If you are introverted, it is even easier to slip into hermit mode, so you need to make sure that you are at least getting out to chill with a best friend, family member, co-worker, etc. Take opportunities to get out into the world and away from your home once in a while. It’s good for your mind and body. Jane Hurst is a content manager from San Francisco. She is a business writer and writing coach. Find Jane on Twitter .
