BT Business and Nortel have revealed new independent research based on YouGov Plc. Total sample size that was 3473 workers in organisations with less than 500 employees and employed for at least 3 months. 

 The statistics showed that 8% of the UK's businesses trust their employees to work out of the office. Though the 42% of workers who are confident that they could do a better job remotely.

According to the data shows managers avoid to move their people away from office despite the fact that their employees think they could be more productive on the road, working with a customer or from home if they were given the technology to manage and support them. 

According to the SOURCEWIRE, John Wright, National Chairman, Federation of Small Businesses, said "This boils down to a matter of trust. In the current climate, small firms need to be operating at full stretch. Last week's bad weather demonstrated the need for British businesses to enable their employees to be productive, wherever they are."

As stated on SOURCEWIRE, Unified communications integrates voice, data, fixed and wireless business channels answer calls and customer queries whether in or out of the office.

John Dovey, IT services director at BT Business said: "BT's 70,000 flexible workers have saved us £500m in building costs and 100,000 tonnes of CO2. We can effectively manage our employees and have seen a 30% rise in productivity. By unifying communications systems our business customers can be more responsive to new opportunities and customer enquiries wherever they are. Faster reaction and fulfilment times are a positive way to increase customer satisfaction, increase loyalty and encourage growth. These technologies can also help to attract and retain staff through flexible working."

Barry Bonnett, president, Enterprise Solutions, EMEA, Nortel, said "As lifestyles change, so must management's attitudes towards employees. Unified communications can help managers, but ultimately change depends on trust."

According to the PRWeb, PowerDNN, the nation's leading provider of advanced DNN hosting services for the DotNetNuke(R) community announced ASP.NET Keep Alive services on all new shared hosting plans.

"Over next quarter we are drawing a clear line between companies who offer DotNetNuke as a side product and companies, like us, who truly support and service DotNetNuke to the core. In addition to running Keep Alive on every site, all of our new shared servers are high-end DELL servers with at least 8 CPU cores with anywhere from 16-32 gigabytes of CRUCIAL name brand RAM." says Tony Valenti, CEO and founder of PowerDNN. "If you don't know hardware, we've gone from using big servers to using giant servers. These servers are at least 4 times faster than most other companies' biggest servers."

When asked about how the service upgrade will impact customers, John Grange estimates the service impact as follows: "We've actually been doing this since January but we didn't make a public announcement because we wanted to wait and see how much of a performance difference it makes. The performance has been so good, we felt compelled to provide this level of service on all servers going forward."

Are you a young mother, raising young children, feeling isolated, stressed without anyone to turn to?  According to the SourceWire, there is a helping hand but help is at hand -the parenting website from the NSPCC, Yourfamily.org.uk. It has created a ‘Digital Nanny’ to steer parents through the tough times. 

The ‘Digital Nanny’ offers professional advice and support. To get help is quite easy as by simply entering child’s gender and age, parents get information from NSPCC experts.

NSPCC parenting advisor Eileen Hayes explains: “We appreciate that raising children can be difficult. Many parents worry about their children’s development and what is normal at different ages. It can be reassuring to know that other parents are in the same boat. 

“The aim of the ‘Digital Nanny’ is to let parents know that they are not alone. Offering impartial and informed advice on a range of topics, the ‘Digital Nanny’ is there to guide and support parents where ever possible.”

Good question if the answer is of the same productivity. But as Dr. Murray Grossan announces in his latest book Free Yourself from Sinus and Allergy Problems Permanently, breakfast in bed is of great help.  

According to his estimations: "No, this is not some new age claim. It is based on scientific principles."

   

Those who suffer from allergy - tree, grass or ragweed- all have problems adjusting to temperature changes. While having allergy, one who gets out of bed in the morning, his/her body adjusts to the temperature change by sneezing or hacking. In order not to start a cascade of sneezing that can last all day  doctor Murray offers to take hot tea before getting out of bed, then body is properly warmed and one can avoid sneezing. 

   

Different products in tea increase the speed of movement of the nasal cilia. Tea has to be green or black.

There is another way to reduce the allergy. One should use saline irrigation to wash away the pollen from the nose. According to the PRWeb, “When you use the Hydro Pulse™ Nasal/Sinus irrigator, you not only wash out the pollen, but also the IgE on the nose that makes the allergy. One report showed that Hydro Pulse™ irrigation not only lowered nasal IgE, but the IgE in the blood as well.”

     

Some other methods to avoid allergy is to keep windows closed while sleeping in order to avoid getting pollen into your sleeping area. As it we know plants pollinate at 5 PM and 5 AM so sleeping with the windows open may cause symptoms.

 "By following the tea in bed, irrigating out the pollen and IgE, putting the nasal gel as a barrier to the pollen, many of my allergy patients are able to go through the pollen season without other aids.

Valentine’s Day comes and more or less everybody is thinking about buying presents for the second halves, potential second halves or just loved ones. To choose a present is really a kind of dilemma sometimes. But the first ever interactive gift finder, launched at Christmas, Lastminute.com is launching a Valentine-themed version of the service in France.

That is the question many people argue about. This time we are highlighting the determinants of smartness on the bases of PRWeb, according to that D Brooklyn presents notes two shocking facts: (1) we grow 200 billion brain cells at a fast clip of 75,000 brain cells a second, and (2) we grow 1,000 trillion brain-cell connections at speeds exceeding 250,000 brain-cell connections a second--that's over 15 million brain-cell connections a minute! But the most astonishing is that this is the most brain cells we will ever have--and we're not even born into the world yet.

D Brooklyn  promises that new book opens a door that could not only change the way the country looks on the black male, but also on how the country educates and protects its kids.

As noted at PRWeb, the battle should be fought on two battlefronts: (1) where the black son is already born and living in a world where competition is everything, and (2) where the unborn black son is now just a twinkle in his mother's eye. 

So what is the process like? During the Great Brain-Cell War, 100 billion of these 200 billion brain cells (one-half) shrivel and die away before we are born. And during the three "tender years (0-3)" after we're born, we continue connecting our 100 billion brain cells until they are 1,000 trillion connections strong. Then we spend the next ten years (3-12) fighting the Great Brain-Cell Connection War. With this war raging like crazy inside our heads (society shaping us into who we are) 500 trillion brain-cell connections (one-half) unravel, shrivel and die away--even more dying when we are not learning enough new and interesting things to give them all brain jobs to do, so they can live.

Cell connections are built upon learning new and interesting things, and when this process is stopped brain cells are unraveling, shriveling, and dying away--and dead brain cells are forever dead.

"When it comes to how smart you are," the author adds almost wistfully, "self-help is not a choice for you to make. You don't help yourself become smart because you can't help yourself become smart. This is especially during the first dozen years of your life."

The engine driving our brainpower depends on the mother and the other people. The author admits that "when someone praises us for that smart brain glowing between our ears, we should thank the mother and the other people who raise us."

What to do in order to grow smarter? That’s easy as one way to grow smarter is to check out books from the library and read them, and buy books.

We know that about 70.8% of the surface of the Earth is covered by water. As for the submerged surface it has mountainous features, including a globe-spanning mid-ocean ridge system, as well as undersea volcanoes, oceanic trenches, submarine canyons, oceanic plateaus and abyssal plains. And only remaining 29.2% is not covered by water, and consists of mountains, deserts, plains, plateaus, and other geomorphologies. (Wikipedia).

And now, how many people live on this same Earth? According to the Population Reference Bureau there are 6,705 million people are living on the Earth. As for the death rate, according to the Index Mundi, it is 8.32.

So what was the reason of covering these issues? Cremation, to look at this process humorously, cremation that saves acres of land on the Earth serves to advantage to the Earth if taking into consideration the new line of eco-friendly cremation urns from Richard Lamb New Traditions. It helps consumers stay green to the very end, with minimal impact on the environment.

As it is admitted at PRWeb, the urns, available at Richard Lamb New Traditions, are handcrafted in the United States from responsibly produced materials such as sustainable bamboo and at least 50% recycled steel and the urns have less environmental impact after burial.

"Many of the families we work with are environmentally conscious about the products they buy on a daily basis," says Richard Lamb, the memorial merchandising Web site's founder and 45-year veteran of the funeral industry. "When they realize that the cremation urns they choose are likely to have a lasting effect on the environment, as well, they ask for greener options."
