Just amazing…

For Smokers Attention: A voice from the womb..

 

 

 

 

Dear Friends,

 

I thought this will make sense to share with with our members for the reason most of us MAY have the habit of smoking or would be aware of some of our friends who smoke..

Just let them know about this outcome of their smoking habit and if possble forward the same to them. Let them have a chance to know how it would look for their children being like the above kids…

 

I guess the same impact applies to  women smokers too…

 

So lets beware and make other aware….!!!!

Tips on Filling Fuel in Your Vehicles

Tips on Filling Fuel in Your Vehicles

 

I don't know what you guys are paying for petrol... But here In Durban, we are also paying higher, up to 47.35 per litre.

But my line of work is in petroleum for about 31 years now, So here are some tricks to get more of your money's worth for every litre.
 
Here at the Marian Hill Pipeline, where I work in Durban, we deliver about 4 million litres in a 24-hour period thru the pipeline.

 

One day is diesel; the next day is jet fuel, and petrol, LRP and Unleaded. We have 34-storage tanks here with a total capacity of 16,800,000 litres.

 

ONLY BUY OR FILL UP YOUR VEHICLES IN THE EARLY MORNING WHEN THE GROUND TEMPERATURE IS STILL COLD. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground, the denser the fuel, when it gets warmer petrol expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening.... Your litre is not exactly a litre.

 

In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the petrol, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products play an important role. A 1degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business.

But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps.

 

WHEN YOU'RE FILLING UP, DO NOT SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER OF THE NOZZLE TO A FAST MODE.

If you look, you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. In slow mode, you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapours that are created, while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapour return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapour. Those vapours are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you're getting less worth for your money.

 

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT TIPS IS TO FILL UP WHEN YOUR TANK IS HALF FULL.

The reason for this is, the more fuel you have in your tank, the less air occupying its empty space. Petrol evaporates faster than you can Imagine. Petroleum storage tanks have an internal floating roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the petrol and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation.

 

Unlike service stations, here where I work, every truck that we load is temperature compensated, so that every litre is actually the exact amount.

 

ANOTHER REMINDER, IF THERE IS A FUEL TRUCK PUMPING INTO THE STORAGE TANKS, WHEN YOU STOP TO BUY, DO NOT FILL UP - most likely the petrol/diesel is being stirred up as the fuel is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.

 

Hope, this will help you get the maximum value for your money.

Guess that a little useful and makes sense for me…

The six patterns of communicating....

Leaders typically fall into one of six patterns of communicating,
and that pattern largely contributes to the communication climate of
the whole team. Some styles are far more effective than others.

1. Give and Let Live. Leaders who use this style send out lots of
information in all directions to everybody in the organization—
regardless of whether it's tailored, relevant, or applicable to
others' interests or needs. Their mindset: I've done my job in
sending the information—let them figure out if they want to know
what it all means.

2. Sell and Compel. Leaders who use this approach identify a few key
themes, sell their point of view, and compel others to see the
wisdom of their strategies and buy in to their goals.

3. Align and Redefine. These leaders listen for misunderstandings,
continue to correct those who get "out of line," and redefine their
goals.They rally the troops and ask them to "align" around those few
core issues.

4. Reply and Deny. For the most part, these leaders play hide and
seek and are seldom seen by rank-and-file employees and customers.
They listen to the grapevine for questions, concerns, or complaints
and then either reply and either confirm or deny rumors.

5. Control and Scold. Leaders who use this approach withhold
information in an attempt to control what happens. They scold
employees, suppliers, and strategic partners, causing them to behave
like dysfunctional family members. People pout, become jealous,
backstab, become territorial, lie, tattle, play favorites, argue,
withdraw, and generally work against each other.

6. Share and Compare. Leaders with this mindset communicate
information and their conclusions drawn about that information:
their vision, goals, strategies, and initiatives. They ask for and
listen to input from others about before setting all decisions,
policies, and plans in stone. Then they keep their ears to the
ground for necessary course corrections as new information, better
ideas, and varied viewpoints surface. They make us much effort to
hear as to be heard, and they encourage other people to talk to each
other about best practices.

Any one of the first five styles may limit a leader's effectiveness
and people's productivity. Take a culture that values harmony above
all else, …stir in an ineffective communication style of leaders, …
and you have a recipe for dysfunction, desperation, and duplicity.
By contrast, direct communication embraces rather than evades the
truth, involves clear words, and focuses on the facts. That kind of
communication increases productivity while eliminating the paranoia
that vexes and perplexes many people.

Heartgraphs steps in to the 4th Year...!!!!

Heartgraphs steps in to the 4th Year…

 

Dear all,

 

This is the day [May 8th] on 2005 when I was in Bangalore that, the thought of starting this group came in to mind and I had that great chance of creating our  Heartgraphs group by 23.30 HRS.  

 

The nice thing that I would like to share about it is that our Heartgraphs Group with all of your support has touch based with around the 5000+ [and counting] members across the world.  The youngest member of this group I have interacted with is a 7th standard Student and the wise elderly member of this group I have interacted with is about 78 years old.  That sounds really amazing for me to share this great news with you…..

 

I feel extremely delighted at this moment when I see through all of the great friends I have been blessed through our Heartgraphs group.  I would say I m running short of words when I start describing about those great people I have come across, who has made a great difference in my personal and official life.  

 

Even though the word “Thank you” may be a very a small word to say at this moment but I wholeheartedly thank each and every one of our member who has joined our group, who has been patient enough to read the mails posted by me, Who has been in touch with me in the past and continuing in the present days, for all the support extended to me.  I look forward for all your support, care and affection in all the years to follow.

 

This small involvement with the simplest aspect of being the moderator of this group has made me look, every aspect of my present inner and outward life very spectacular in many ways. Hope everyone in our group experiences it in their own ways.…...

 

Looking forward for more friends, more fun, more meaningful life…..

 

Wish you all success in all the days to come…..

 

- Sree...
