How to fire someone. By trade and training I am a writer and editor. I never had any education in managing people until I received the best kind: being thrust into the middle of it and being forced to learn without any preformed conceptions from some old tradition of management that academics espouse. I’m not belittling education. It would have been helpful, and trained managers are no doubt much better than me. But sometimes it’s good to get involved in something without the notions instilled in you that everyone else has. Management is pretty easy for me, but I remember that one thing that got me at first was letting people go. It was hard, it sucked, and at first, I lost sleep over it.
I am not the kind of guy who likes to displease people. I often wondered — if I’d had some education in management, would this come easier to me? Image by texas_mustang.

Comment attraper une mouche à la main ? How to be an expert (and find one if you're not) I’ve been thinking lately, what makes someone an "expert" in his or her field? Apparently Lorelle VanFossen has been thinking the same thing, because she recently wrote a post called What Gives You the Right to Tell Me? At The Blog Herald that explores the issue of expertise in some depth.
For me, the question started to percolate through my mind when I was invited to speak at an academic conference on anthropology and counter-insurgency recently. Apparently, I have become an expert on the topic, someone people look to when they want more information. How did that happen? Thinking about how I came to be a "go-to" person on this topic has gotten me thinking about how anyone becomes the person to call when you need help, about how people become experts in their field. What’s an expert? While knowledge is obviously an important quality of expertise, it’s only one of several factors that makes someone an expert in their field.

How to create a scanned signature. Before I start I should say that when we sign stuff we typically do it to show evidence that we understand, accept and agree to something our signature hold us to that a signature is there to bind one or more parties to an agreement and is not done only because there is mutual benefit, otherwise why would we need the signature?
Other items you mentioned are addresses in the below text. Scanned signatures are Signatures that are scanned (electronically copied) and pasted into documents, they are also some time called digitized signatures, not to be confused with digital signatures which are a far more sure way of signing.

How to conference blog. How to setting up a first blog site. Posted by Patrick Schaber | Posted on 05-09-2007 Category : blogging Over the last few months, the questions I’m receiving from friends and readers regarding setting up a blog has dramatically increased.

Right about now, America’s students are heading back to school for the Fall semester. Last week, I gave some very specific advice about using a wiki to store and organize notes, but keeping good notes is just part of being a successful student. Over the weekend, I decided to offer up some more general, all-purpose advice for students. Whether you’re just starting college or returning, the tips below will help you make the most out of the coming school year.
Get organized! Pretty self-explanatory, that one. Bonus tip: Keep reading lifehack.org for advice and tips throughout the school year. Bonus tip two: Know yourself. Obviously you won’t want to do every single thing I’ve mentioned here, but use these tips as a guide to build relationships, skills, and self-awareness, ostensibly the things you’re in school for (well, that and the beer, but I think you know where to find that already, right?). What advice do you have for the students of 2007-8? How to escape from a sinking car? A bridge spanning the Mississippi River collapsed Wednesday, sending dozens of vehicles plummeting 60 feet into the river below. How do you escape from a sinking car? First, roll down the windows. If the windows are still above the waterline, just climb out. But if the car is sinking fast, wait for the interior to fill with water—you won't be able to open the door until there's enough water inside the car to equalize the pressure on the outside.
Opening the windows helps the water flow in faster, which gives you a better chance of escaping before your car sinks too deep. Survival experts recommend keeping your seatbelt on until the last possible second. Try not to panic. When it comes to water exits, some cars are better than others. An old Volkswagen ad campaign bragged about how a Beetle could float, but even the most buoyant cars won't stay above water longer than a minute or two. You're also better off with a car that has manual locks and windows instead of automatic ones. How to apologize. This post has been percolating in my head for yonks, but several tales of botched and ineffective apologies lately have led me to finish it up. Social behavior is not intuitive - we all know that it's learned, so what surprises me is how rarely it is consciously taught. Unlike many people, I had the benefit in my youth of several honest-to-god courses and workshops in life skills and communication, instead of just trying to intuit this stuff from context.
Sure, it felt a little cheesy at the time, but the skills I learned that way have been invaluable to me. One of the ones I have needed most as an adult is how to apologize effectively. Easy, right? Take responsibility. Of course, there are people who are harder to talk to than others; even the best apology doesn't reach some people, and never will. ETA: There are some great points being made in the comments - I particularly like wychwood's note about how to apologize when you are not sorry here.
Tags: personal:mirror. How to simplify your online life. There’s no doubt that for most people who do a lot of online work (and play), the numerous amounts of web tools, blogs, social media, incoming messages, files stored and just general information can be quite overwhelming. Sure, we’ve learned to cope with it all, but there is a simpler way. If we focus on simplifying our online lives, we can drastically reduce the amount of time we spend online, the amount of time we spend working, the amount of information we have to consume, and the amount of stuff we have to keep track of.

Candid styles of photography are increasingly becoming popular both in general day to day photography but also in formal photographic situations.
Last time I was asked to photograph a wedding the couple actually hired me purely to take paparazzi style shows of them and their guests throughout the day. They had another photographer for the formal shots and gave me the brief of getting a behind the scenes look of the day. The results, when they put together my shots with the formal ones were a wonderful blend of photos that told a fuller story than if they’d gone for one or the other. Below are a number of tips to help photographers improve their ‘candid’ photography. Please note that these tips are not about taking sneaky, voyeuristic or true paparazzi shots (ie photographing people without their permission) but rather about how to add a more candid feel to the shots you take of people that you know. 1.
