@XboxKnowItAll @IGN curious to know how Skylanders will work? as I am sure no one has the figures anymore, or the portal? assuming unless you have the hardware, these games will still not work?

If I was worried about people comparing me to 1930s Germany, my next move probably wouldn't be to shut down all criticism on the national broadcasting service

I wonder if, somewhere, John Terry is practicing using an autocue.

Wonder why some people don't always follow the safety rules. (And what you can do about it)

Ask yourself these 3 questions:

1. Did the person know about the rule?

2. Does the rule make sense to people?

3. Was the rule enforced consistently?

If the answer is “No” to one or more, it's probably why the rule is being broken.

What you can do about it:

As a manager or supervisor, you have an essential part to play in how rules are interpreted and implemented by your team.

It isn’t enough to state the rules and then enforce them.

Instead, if you explain the reasons behind the rules so that the true value of the rule is understood, your teams will buy into it.

However, if you can’t explain why a rule is imposed, then the rule itself should be challenged:

For example:

“Why do we need to wear the protective equipment in this location?”

“Why do we need to complete this checklist for inspecting equipment every day?”

Also, it might not be the person or team's fault.

The reason could be you.

Other solutions are available.

Daniel: I live in the Netherlands. We have too many tomatoes! We used to export them to the UK but it now takes a truck driver 77 hours of queueing to take tomatoes to the UK and all truck drivers simply refuse. So now we have cheap abundant tomatoes here in the Netherlands.

@footballtweet Chelsea will soon manage any talent out of him, make another Timo or Havertz. Hes simply another cog in the soulless machine of industrial football management. Trying to turn our sport into Moneyball.
