Here are some more information for Butt Fusion:
Do you have some employees or co-workers who think of themselves as extra special, indispensable and untouchable? Their superior attitude often ticks off the people who work with them. Let's take a look at the right and wrong way to deal with prima donnas in the workplace.
Dealing With Prima Donnas at Work
Employees and co-workers with superior attitudes see the world revolving around them and expect everyone else to bow down and kiss up (or kiss butt) to get something done. While saying "pretty please with sugar on top" might be nice, it really shouldn't be necessary to get the person to do their job.
A misguided view: Often the prima donna forgets that his or her job function exists to support another job function. A classic example in a manufacturing plant is that the maintenance department will act as though they are doing production a favor by fixing something that is broken down. In fact the maintenance department's customer is production. They are supposed to keep the line running and improve flow and cycle time.
In the office, a prima donna might work in accounting, reception, engineering, sales, marketing or quality. The prima donna is often a good performer who has let his or her special talents inflate the ego instead of focusing on serving others.
Managers are reluctant to address this behavior because they are lulled into a sense of complacency and fear a backlash. Plus the manager likes the work done by the person. Overall performance is usually less than it could be because the prima donna doesn't share information or expertise very well, preferring instead to use it as a competitive advantage.
Reflection Questions
Who are the prima donnas in your work group? How does this behavior impact you as the boss or co-worker?
What NOT to do
Knock them down a peg. It really isn't helpful to criticize or point out the person's flaws or jump with glee when they make a mistake. Over inflate the ego. While it's positive to provide praise, avoid use of the words, "You're the best!", "We couldn't do it without you!", "Too bad everyone else can't be more like you!"
Action Items
- List the destructive consequences of having prima donnas in the workgroup.
- Recognize that low self esteem might be behind this behavior. The person may be compensating for a feeling of inadequacy by acting superior.
- Point out the specific behaviors (in private) that you want the person to stop doing. In many cases the person is likely unaware of how they are perceived.
- Encourage the individual to share his or her knowledge and skill with others and then provide positive feedback when they do that.
- Remind the individual who the customer is, their role in supporting the customer (internal or external) and that the overall success depends not on his or her individual talents but the overall capability of the group.
- Consider a"team building" session to help groups realize that success depends on working together.
- If the prima donna is in a management or supervisory role then often one-on-one coaching is part of the solution.

Photographing Lightning
Photographing Lightning
by Robert Meeks
Lightning can be both a beautiful and yet frightening part of nature. Many of us find awe in watching the momentary bolts of lightning and have seen photographs which seem to have captured more bolts of lightning than are possible in a split second.
When dealing with lightning, as with any unpredictable subject, the ability to capture that one fleeting moment is something we do not have the luxury of doing. Yet, what we can capture is quite impressive when we use the proper techniques. With lightning, the key is to let it do its show for us, and not to attempt to capture a momentary bolt.
As lightning is a split second event, and often lightning bolts come in groups, we can use the lightning for our source of light. We do this by using a slow speed film (a low ISO on digital cameras), a small aperture, and a long exposure time at a point when the lightning's activity has increased. This exposure can be from 1 second to many seconds depending on the amount of lightning activity, and if we are taking the shot during the day or night. Even if we are taking the exposure during the day, often lighting conditions are very reduced during a storm; by as much as 7 stops or more from sunny conditions.
The idea is for us to pick our spot from which we are going to shoot during the storm; such as a cityscape, farm, church, or any other area we feel would make a good background (or subject) for the lightning. We can select areas from which we would like to shoot during a non-storm period and go to those locations when a storm is brewing.
If we are to set up the camera in an outside location, we need a sturdy tripod with some additional weight to hold it down during potentially high winds, and some waterproof cover for the camera. The use of a cable release is a must, for the sake of safety, and the best type to use is an air-bulb release as it does not use metal in the tube; not giving a source of continuity back to us in case the camera is struck by lightning. We need to set the camera to the bulb (B) setting for shutter speed, and probably an f/16 with the lens set to infinity, or a pre-determined hyperfocal distance. We then need to get to our safe place from where we are to trip the shutter.
An alternative to setting up the camera in an outdoor location is to use a windowpod we can attach to our car windows and attach the camera to it. The window should be rolled up as much as possible and the camera still needs to have a cover for protection. For those of us lucky enough to have a good view from our home, we can position the camera at a window, either opening the window or pushing the lens up against the window glass, making certain that any interior lights for the room we are using are turned off.
Taking pictures is a matter of holding the shutter open for a few seconds so we can capture one or more bolts of lightning. For the best results, we need to do this several times as we cannot pre-measure the exposure value of the lightning. We should plan to kill of a full roll of film (here, digital cameras have an advantage) doing this for different exposure times and various lightning effects. The end result will be several successful exposures with some really neat lightning effects.
A lesson on taking pictures of lightning cannot be closed without mentioning the potential danger in doing such. Lightning is electricity with an equivalency of thousands of volts of potential delivering enough joules to make the electric company salivate. Capital punishment by electrocution uses less power than what a lightning bolt can potentially deliver.
Safety during a lightning storm involves keeping yourself in a protected place such as a shelter where you are not exposed to an opening or a vehicle which is well protected from lightning due to it not being grounded, as lightning is attracted to portions of the earth which have an imbalance in their electrical state. Being separated from the ground breaks the continuity and prevents you from becoming an attractor for the lightning.
If you find yourself outside during a lightning storm and you feel the hair on the back of your neck and limbs stand up, quickly get away from the area as this is a precursor of a lightning strike. Wearing protective clothing such as a rubber raincoat and boots with rubber galoshes over them can add protection, but it is not a cure. Staying away from trees during a lightning storm is advised, not due to making you a better target (as it does not), but if the tree is hit and the ground is moist enough, you can still be struck due to continuity of the electrical charge or the splitting of the bolt; not to mention having a tree fall on you.
The effects on someone from being struck by lightning can range from the loss of fingernails and toenails, loss of hearing, severe burns, loss of sight, loss of all body hair, organ and tissue damage, organ failure, brain damage, fusion of skin, to outright death which is not uncommon from lightning strikes.
I hope my warnings about the dangers of lightning have not fallen on deaf ears. Taking photos of lightning can be quite a rewarding experience. Being alive to share those photos can be an even more rewarding experience. You do not want to end up being the butt of the old photographer joke where their last picture was a beauty.

How do I resolve the earth leakage problem?
I am working in a Butt fusion machine manufacturer company. Our machine has been designed with 3 Pin plug with single phase power. 240V, 50-60 Hz.
It is operate in normal condition if I am plugging to the power point in the factory. Everything works excellent.
Unfortunately, it might sell to country like China and Philippine whereby the design of the plug there is without earthing (some people call it grounding). Thus, the control unit of our machine has the earth leakage problem.
This problem also happened in the pipe line project field. Contractor is using Power Generator to running the machine. Yes, again the earth leakage is occur.
How do I resolve this problem? I have asked a lot of people. The answer is not surprising me, because all of them say :" Go for earthing is the only solution".
Is there any alternative way to resolve the earth leakage problem???
A VERY LARGE DEPENDS!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Sorry---your question just struck me that way at first before reading the rest of the details.
You would think that in this era of modern technology, there would be some way to 'ground' the unit. Sorry I could not be more help, but thank you for brightening my night.
