The Good Wife: The First Season The Good Wife: The First Season
List Price: $44.99
Sale Price: $16.82

Brand New! Original Factory Sealed

The Good Wife is a compelling drama about Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies), a strong, articulate woman whose life has been turned upside down by the actions of her husband Peter Florrick (Chris Noth), a state's attorney who's been disgraced by a sex scandal and imprisoned for abusing his position in office. The series begins with a press conference in which Peter apologizes for his personal indiscretions and denies any professional wrongdoing, but the focus of this series is all on Alicia--how she endures the moment in front of the press, the personal impact of the experience just after the cameras are turned off, and how that instant in time will affect every aspect of her life from that moment on. A middle-aged woman accustomed to charity events and luxury in the suburbs, Alicia is suddenly forced to abandon her old life, move to an apartment in the city, and reenter the workforce as a junior associate in a local law firm in order to support herself and her two teenage children. Add in the extra baggage of the very public sex scandal, competition from a young and highly ambitious twentysomething lawyer (Matt Czuchry) at the firm, and a coworker (Archie Panjabi) whom her husband once fired, and things become really tricky for Alicia. The story is about much more than Alicia's reentry into the courtroom; it's about how everything in her life has changed and how every decision she makes impacts her future. Excellent writing and the powerful performances of Margulies and her costars make this series absolutely captivating. The blend of personal drama, courtroom action, sexual indiscretion, family dynamics, and political scandal is perfectly balanced and, as in real life, everything is complexly interwoven. The most compelling thing about the series is Margulies herself: she is completely believable as Alicia Florrick--everything she feels and thinks comes across as totally real to viewers, sometimes without even one word of dialogue, and viewers can't help but relate to everything she's going through and wonder what they might do in a similar situation. Viewers struggle right along with Alicia as she oscillates between self-confidence and self-doubt, resolve and vulnerability, hatred for her husband's infidelity and an inexplicable resilient love for him, even in the face of her renewed attraction to her former law school classmate and now-boss Will (Josh Charles). Viewers share in her determination to remain strong and somehow balance the demands of work and family. Panjabi is commanding in her breakout role as Kalinda, an extremely pragmatic investigator who regularly defies convention and will go to almost any length to get the information she needs, and every interaction between Alicia and Kalinda is simply electric. Christine Baranski is also stellar in her role as Diane Lockhart, a firm partner who sees Alicia both as someone to mentor and as a personal threat. Besides the 23-episode season, this six-disc set contains quite a few deleted scenes (they get longer as the season progresses) and special features that include on-air promos and a discussion of some of the real-life scandals that caused the writers to ponder the wronged wife's point of view. The hour-and-15-minute-long "Education of Alicia Florrick: Making Season One" features cocreators/writers/executive producers Robert King and Michelle King and executive producer David W. Zucker, along with many of the actors and other important production crew members. They discuss the making of the pilot, location work, casting, costuming, photographic vision, and the show's groundbreaking point of view (they also offer a hint about the focus of the second season). Optional commentaries are available for several episodes and feature Robert King, Michelle King, Zucker, and executive producer Brooke Kennedy. --Tami Horiuchi

Historic Dust Bowl Films DVD Series: Disc One: The Plow That Broke The Plains (1936) & Rain For The Earth (1937) Which Focus On Dust Bowl Farming History Historic Dust Bowl Films DVD Series: Disc One: The Plow That Broke The Plains (1936) & Rain For The Earth (1937) Which Focus On Dust Bowl Farming History
List Price: $19.99
Sale Price: $12.99

The Dust Bowl is an important piece of American history that had many contributing factors, such as The Great Depression, poor farming practices, and the promise of wealth. Farmers moved to the Midwest in search of arable land and set up huge wheat and grain farms. Things worked out fine for a few years, but eventually the lack of water resources and the overworking of the field led the entire region to be dominated by large clouds of dust or dust storms. Almost all of the pioneer farmers, despite aid from the US government, were forced to migrate from the Great Plains of the Midwest. Table of Contents: (1) The Plow That Broke The Plains (1936) - This film is part of the 1999 National Film Registry of "artistically, culturally, and socially significant" films. It takes a realistic look at how farming in the Midwest turned the land into an uninhabitable cloud of dust, later coined "The Dust Bowl" - 25 minutes (2) Rain For The Earth (Incomplete ~ No Ending) (1937) - Discusses the desperation that the drying land caused the Dust Bowl farmers and their families and the US government's failed attempts to help them maintain their farms - 10 minutes (3) Farmers War Against Dust; Fight To Save Wheat Crops (1937) - Newsreel footage of the farmers struggle against dust in the Midwest sponsored by an engine company who claims that their new engine and well drilling system will save the farmers of the Midwest - 1 ½ minutes

Focus Information

A project schedule is not the same as the project plan. Repeat after me, the schedule is not the project plan. As the name suggests, the project plan is a collection of documents used to manage the execution of a project. The schedule includes dates for tasks and milestones in the project plan and is an element of the plan, but is not comprehensive enough to be considered a plan. The project plan goes much deeper than a timeline and is the overall blueprint for the project. According to the PMBOK, the project plan may include the following:

• Project charter

• Description of project management approach or strategy

• Scope statement

• Work breakdown structure

• Cost estimates

• Performance measurement baselines

• Major milestones and target dates

• Key or required staff

• Risk management plan

• Subsidiary management plans:

• Scope management

• Schedule management

• Cost management

• Quality management

• Staffing management

• Communication management

• Risk response

• Procurement management

• Supporting detail

• Outputs from other planning processes

• Constraints and assumptions

• Technical documentation

• Standards documentation

You should determine the level of detail needed, based on the size of the project. From the list above you can see this list is quite extensive and much more encompassing than a list of tasks, assignments and expected dates. I often hear companies and individuals refer to the schedule as the overall plan for the project, which is inaccurate and a risk for your projects and organizations. Without capturing and managing the information above, you are not truly planning for and managing the outcome of your projects.

I previously wrote about areas to be aware of when selecting a vendor, including their ability to plan. Planning is fundamental to project success. The ability to plan and to derive what is important from vast amounts of information and stakeholders is essential. We all know the saying "if we don't have a clear plan on where we are going we won't know when we get there", but if we don't have a clear understanding on the other areas listed above; our projects and teams will flounder. Not properly addressing and continuously managing the items above will create significant concern from executives and others funding the project, as well as those the project is being designed for.

While we may not have all the answers when we start planning the project, we need to remember that planning is iterative and these plans are not created in a one-time session. The act of creating these guides will require you to think through the necessary factors and truly analyze the situation, creating a response to all possible scenarios.

Increase Business – Make your Organisation Customer Focused!

What do we mean by customer focus? If your service is customer focused the demands of your customers will drive it. It really is time to consider how best to develop a Customer Focused organisation.

Customers

Customers require accurate information to help them make the best decisions about purchases. Customers deem (and quite rightly so in many cases) that they are the centre of the cosmos. Customers vary according to the type of service being used or needed. As proud as you may be of your company and your product or service, most customers only care about how well you can support them to meet their wants and needs. If you don't put your customers at the very centre of everything you do, your business will fail.

Focus

Focused senior executives and business owners spend time with customers, irrespective of size. They always promote and ensure that customer issues are always a key agenda point at any of their board meetings. If you want more of them to buy your services or products, your focus has to be on your customer; avoid being too internally focused. I can assure you that it will take you eye off of what is really happening in the market place and will eventually kill your sales.

Business

Looking from a business standpoint, a new approach may be practical. To put a spotlight on the customer can only mean orienting all business processes to customer requirements, which is both common sense and surely the key objective. Good customer focus initiatives the analysis of key "customer centric" metrics and this greatly assists to recognise the business impact of strategic actions.

Trust

This is essential to build a customer centric organisation. Trust-Based Selling shows how trust between consumer and seller is created and illustrates how both sides benefit from it. It’s a win for your business and for the customer.

Information

Information technology is answering these questions with an unprecedented precision about customer-focused ends and means. If a company has a robust quality management system, it is a requirement that a company (using ISO9001-2000 as an example)shall monitor customer intelligence relating to customer awareness as to whether the company has met the customer wishes. Always try where possible to get customer opinion. It is often the customer who will not voice their opinion, is the one who walks away to your competitors.

Knowing Your Market Place

Community engagement helps the organisation ensure that the priorities of local people translate into strategy and decision making. Being able to demonstrate customer focus and effective methods of community engagement are a necessary condition of excellence and will support you to achieve recognition for improvement.

Marketing

A customer focused approach affords the opportunity to obtain many results: increase the lifetime value of customers; maintain satisfactory levels of profitability; improve knowledge of customers, and improve the marketing mix. Differentiated marketing can take your business into a new dimension and can gain a great deal by having truly differentiated product/service offers to make. If your business has any volume of web based business, one of your key “focus†tools must be web analytics and dashboards. These tools are extremely beneficial and can offer a business-to-business or business-to-consumer organisation a real picture as to what is happening in their business, what customers are looking at and how long they are looking at it (plus hopefully a successful sale!).

Conclusion

Customer focus increases customer satisfaction while allowing you to compete and thrive in your industry. Sharper customer focus means abandoning the normal trends and practices of the market place and segmenting customers according to how they actually act. At the end of the day it is always key to know that usually it is down to an excellent leadership team that changes a businesses approach, and it is not just a one off customer focus programme that will truly bring substantial and consistent business rewards.

It is hard for me to retain information when I read a textbook. Any tricks or tips to help me out?

I am a fairly good student. 3/4 of my grades are usually A's and the rest B's, but lately when I read a textbook it is hard for me to retain the information.
I've had a lot of stress in my life lately, but I really want to focus on the information and it is so hard for me to retain it once I read it.
What is a good way to help me begin to retain the information once again?

I sympathise - I also find it really hard to learn solely from reading a book.

one thing I do alot that helps is take notes as you're reading. sit at a desk with the book in one hand and pen and paper in the other, if you see anything and think "oh, this fact is important", "I need to remember this name/formula", "this point is really crutial for understanding", then write it down. the quality of the notes isn't really important, it's the action of writing it down that helps you remember it.

you could try mind maps? - I used to use them quite a bit but I haven't in a while. if you do use them make sure you use lots of colours otherwise it defeats the purpose to a large extent.
You won't be able to take alot in if you're all like "OH NO *panic* EXAMS!" . you need to chill out first. Relax, focus, and take regular breaks -> I find after about 2, 3 hours i hit like, "the wall" there's no point in doing any more cause my brain reaches saturation haha.
also, in my experience the most effective revision is past papers. practice really does make perfect. you can use them in a multitude of ways depending on how far on you are, but that's a whole different kettle of fish.
