Confirmed: A Tiger Walks on Water

hotma — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 03:55:34 +0000

by Mike Krumboltz

Tiger Woods is one of the most dominant athletes alive. But is he really a mortal like the rest of us? Footage of the golfer walking on water has some folks wondering if he’s actually something more… divine.

Well, not really. The footage was just a viral video. Still, though obviously a joke, the clip has started a firestorm of buzz. So what’s the story? Apparently, in an older version of the Tiger Woods video game, players could “walk on water” when their golf balls landed in the drink. Fans of the games noticed this and pointed out the bug by uploading clips to the Web. EA Sports, the publisher of the series, decided to have a fight back by posting a video of Tiger casually strolling on water a la Jesus. The clip concludes with, “It’s not a glitch, he’s just that good.” In your face, gamers!

Naturally, news that EA had gone to great lengths to have a little fun stirred up the bloggers. An article from USA Today notes that the video is getting millions of views and that another of Tiger responding to a Rubik’s Cube will likely garner a lot more eyeballs. Meanwhile, Mashable writes that it is nice to see major companies like EA “get” the Web subculture. Indeed, a clever response to customer criticism goes a long way. Finally, though the ad may seem original, TrendHunter points out that this isn’t the first time an athlete has been compared to Jesus Christ. In “The Theater of Dreams,” an upcoming musical, David Beckham gets the whole son of God treatment. No word on whether he trades in his cleats for sandals.

Achieving Successful Asset Management Growth

Achieving Successful Asset Management Growth

Asset management growth is indisputably one of the goals of any business organization. This is tangible evidence that the industry has undertaken successful asset management, and is already experiencing general growth and improvement. It also implies that the enterprise has chosen the right asset management system and module, one that works compatibly with the already existing systems within the company.

Asset management gathers even greater importance during these technologically advancing times. Gone are the days of manual work the administration of assets today has certainly evolved to include diverse and complex database systems and reliance on accurate and timely information.

What makes for effective asset management?

Asset management should be on the forefront of the strategies being adopted by any industry. However, it will be futile to speak of asset management merely on the tangible sense, since the generation of businesses nowadays relies heavily on technological systems and data maintenance. Thus, in order to be wholly effective, asset management must allow for both the hardware and software assets of the company.

Essentially, asset management must make room for the effective organization of production, facilities, transportation, and even digital assets. The budgeting, procurement, maintenance, and depreciation calculation of the fixed assets must be undertaken with value maximization and cost minimization in mind. Asset management solutions being offered to various industries nowadays have organizational modules on managing assets, human resources, materials, and softwares.

Asset management systems must provide tools for improvement on assets return and cost-cutting of asset ownership. These systems must also assist in license compliance and promote enhanced security. Especially for businesses that span different branches in different locations, a good asset management solution must have facility for assets tracking, whether these assets are physical or intangible.

The growth goals of asset management

In order for asset management to be successful, it must be able to achieve several goals. First of all, it must assist industry managers in making the best use of its assets. It must be able to pinpoint which assets need to be worked on, and which of these are just being idle. Simply put, asset management is geared towards bringing about greater value from the assets of the company, and using them to achieve more competitive performance and productivity.

Asset management tools should also be effective in the curtailment of asset ownership and the calculation of asset-related risks. It should also be able to provide for accurate inventory control and data storage. Most of all, it must engender wiser decision making where assets management is concerned, in the face of consistently shifting technology and cutthroat competition.

Why asset management is essential for organizational growth

Asset management encompasses not merely the actual physical and intangible assets of any organization, but more importantly, the effective utilization of each. This essentially means that asset management caters to various disciplines- from administration to engineering, and from production to information management.

With successful asset management, growth is imminent. Labor and production becomes efficient, downtimes on equipment and facilities are minimized, and the total cost of fixed asset ownership is significantly reduced. Solutions for better asset management are available from providers, all offering different solutions to the more specific asset-related concerns. Organizations must be able to pinpoint the areas that need to be enhanced, seek the assistance from management solution providers, and to work alongside these management tools.

Asset management growth is not a one-way street, nor is it expected to happen in a momentary tick. Asset management will continue to shift and evolve, and industry managers must be able to understand this from the beginning, to achieve the most favorable results for the entire organization.

Derrick Barry as Britney Spears THANK YOU TO THE FANS!

Derrick Barry has been a performer all his life. Born and raised in Modesto, California, he began training as a gymnast at the age of 5. After competing for 7 years, at 12 years old, he decided to trade in gymnastics for the Theatre. Derrick showcased his acting abilities in over 30 productions between junior high, high school and college. At the age of 19, he moved to Hollywood to further his passion for the art of performing. Halloween 2003 piloted his new found career of impersonating the amazingly talented Britney Spears. Summer of 2004 brought Derrick to Las Vegas to join the incredibly talented cast of An Evening at La Cage at The Riviera Hotel and Casino on The Strip. He can seen 6 nights a week with a showtime of 7:30pm. Derrick Barry also continues to entertain through his comedic videos known as “The Experiences”. He looks forward to a long career in the entertainment business both as an actor/comedian and female impersonator.

“The second time I dressed up like Britney Spears was at The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on November 17, 2003. Production personnel in the studio went up and told Britney, while sitting next to Jay, I was in the audience. Britney was shocked. I heard her say “Oh My God’ as she covered her mouth. By this time, they already had a camera on me ready to record after the commercial break. Jay soon segwayed into asking her if she would date a guy like me. The camera was recording and the house lights came on. She said, “Yes. He’s very into himself.” I danced to the I’m a Slave 4 U routine in my head. It was my fifteen seconds of fame. Jay quickly replied, “I don’t think he’s into himself this guy. I think he’s into you.” She agreed, “Maybe so, maybe so” as she smiled and clapped for me. Jay later told Jim Belushi that he missed the “Bretney Spears” in the audience. The camera panned over on me one last time. This was truly one of the most exciting days in my career.” - Derrick Barry

How to look for the right asset management people

How to look for the right asset management people

You can work all you want but with the high costs of living and the rising prices, your savings will not be enough to last you until your retirement. In order to have a secure future, you need to manage your money right and make sure that the money will earn by itself. Unfortunately, asset management is not something that most people are particularly strong in. In fact, people nowadays are often in trouble because of credit card debts. Only a few know how to save their hard earned money and but even they dont know how to make their money grow.

Asset management is something that is often done by people who are already experts in money trade. They are the ones who know when to invest and where to invest so that your money will last for a long time. There are companies that specifically provide these kinds of services to people especially to large corporations who seek to grow their money. Asset management companies often deal with individuals who have amassed a lot of money but dont know what to do with it. For a professional fee or sometimes for a percentage of commission, they will invest your money in real estate, in stocks and in bonds.

Most people, however, are not comfortable with the idea of other people handling their finances. In fact, some will not even let others know that they have amassed such a fortune. But keeping the money in banks will not make it grow. It will only stay stagnant and rendered valueless in time because of rising inflation rates. When you really concentrate on the task, you can find someone who can manage your assets honestly. Here are some tips on how to find that person.

Ask for referrals.

The best way to look for people who you can trust is to ask people you trust to refer people whom they trust. That way, you can be sure that who you are hiring has already been in a way tried and tested by people whose judgment you respect.

A good person to talk to for this is perhaps your parents or in laws who have probably hired people years ago to manage their retirement funds. You can also ask people whose portfolio you admire. Even your boss in the office can be a good source of information.

Diversify

Another way to make sure that your money is well-taken cared of is to spread the money to a couple of asset management people. Do not put all your financial eggs in one basket. This way, you can be sure that if one will have a problem, the other will still be there as an insurance.

Research

But dont rely on referrals and opinions of people. Even the best judge of characters will also make mistakes. Before hiring the person, look him over and do some background check on him. Research on his employment history and if possible talk to his previous employers and also present ones. Invite him for dinner or set up a meeting with him. That way, you can talk to him or her. Here you will be able to see if you instinctively like the person. Sometimes the gut feel is also important.

Why Enterprise Asset Management is Vital for Any Company

admin — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 02:21:24 +0000

Why Enterprise Asset Management is Vital for Any Company

In any business organization, enterprise asset management is vital in achieving a greater return on assets. This primarily involves curbing operating costs, maximizing results on periodic asset maintenance, and effective management of capital. In any industry, the employees also need to recognize the importance of asset management, and have the knowledge on a variety of asset maximizing responsibilities.

Asset Management Elucidated

Essentially, asset management in any enterprise involves the effective administration of its physical assets, for the purpose of increasing profits and minimizing downtime expenses. The scope of this administrative function includes activities such as construction of facilities and fixtures, plant and office building design and engineering, production operations, and finally the maintenance of equipments and the replacement of the necessary parts.

As an example, physical assets would encompass machines like computers and printers as well as furniture like desks, chairs, and filing cabinets. Transport systems are also included, as well as cable and plant machineries, in the case of bigger industries. Of course fixed assets would differ depending on the type of industry the organization is engaged in, such as food production, textile, corporate services, or healthcare.

Thus, from the procurement of supplies and tools, operation of machines for production, to the maintenance of facilities, all these should be handled with asset value maximization in mind.

The modern approach to asset management by organizations and entrepreneurs has shifted from the traditional type, which had merely involved short term planning. Today, any organization is taking an active role in ensuring that its asset expenditures and utilities are geared towards achieving longer-term returns. Moreover, asset management is very crucial for enterprises that maintain units across various locations or those that utilize fixed assets in different departments within one unit.

Why this type of management is essential

Effective asset management commands importance in the same manner that physical assets play very important roles in the day-to-day operations of any industry. The purchase and the ownership of fixed assets, while very important in any business, require excellent management and maintenance skills. Entrepreneurs for instance, should have a system wherein the cost of owning equipment or expensive machinery is minimized at all times. Poor performance, downtimes, and repairs all add up to the cost of these fixed assets over time.

Machine repairs and equipment maintenance are indeed important for any industry however these should be effectively carried out so as not to hamper the daily operations of the industry, such as the production processes. Furthermore, whenever equipment or system downtimes happen, this subsequently affects the expenses of the company. Planning and management of assets, costs, and maintenance should all be done to increase the life cycle of the assets and for the business to perform more effectively even in the face of rigid competition.

The Essential Tools in Assets Management

These days, EAM tools are available for complex organizations and industries. These tools provide the best solutions in work and asset management and even asset information management. These are all geared towards helping businesses maintain their plants, maximize equipment value, effectively manage information for sales, and coordinate with production and maintenance personnel for improved quality and competence.

Successful enterprise asset management is certainly a requirement for any industry, especially in todays rapidly globalizing and extremely competitive business settings. Through this, industry managers, business owners, and company top-level executives will be able to optimize and organize the daily operations of the business for effective performance and profitability.
