Houston, TX (PRWEB) February 22, 2012

The International Association of Drilling Contractors is pleased to introduce IADC SkillSTICK*, a groundbreaking manpower development tool for the oil and natural gas drilling and completion industry. IADC SkillSTICK is a standardized, portable training management utility. The device can be used off line for training from preloaded eLearning courses and can store student progress and assessments associated with the courses. When an Internet connection becomes available, the IADC SkillSTICK syncs back to an online data repository, uploading information recorded on the device while working off line, for example, on a remote rig. Developed by Houston-based Indaptive Technologies, Inc., IADC SkillSTICK is a specially designed USB drive that allows workers to manage information and activities related to training performance anywhere in the world regardless of Internet quality.

“The need for land or offshore employees to provide training certificates and licenses on demand and to manage and take ownership of their own training needs has never been greater,” remarked Mark Denkowski, IADC Vice President - Accreditation & Certification.” IADC SkillSTICK makes it easy.

“The IADC SkillSTICK provides a truly portable job performance management solution for the drilling and completion industry,” he explained. “IADC SkillSTICK delivers an effective solution that makes premium quality, fit-for-purpose eLearning available cost effectively to large workforces. And workers and companies operating in remote corners of the globe with unreliable Internet performance will appreciate the unique off line capability that IADC SkillSTICK offers.”

IADC SkillSTICK consolidates training data and facilitates continuing education. The device:

    May be preloaded with the latest interactive multimedia electronic learning modules. Workers can access these courses off line should an Internet connection be unreliable or nonexistent--a situation that can exist at rig sites. When an Internet connection later becomes available, accumulated training data is automatically uploaded and synchronized with Indaptive Technologies’ web-based data repository called SkillGRID*     Presents workers with a list of training requirements and training activism for typical drilling-rig job functions     Stores personal information: training certificates, licenses and other documents can be scanned into the system.

IADC SkillSTICK Marks Major Advance in Personal Training Management

Strong performance in beverage cans, particularly specialty containers, combined with a raft of coast cutting measures fuelled a jump in 2011 underlying profits of over £50m (€59m), said Rexam.

The UK-based packaging company said its beverage unit accounted for £447m of the firm’s £549m underlying profits – offsetting what it described as a “mixed performance” in its plastic packaging division, which focuses primarily on health and personal care but also food.

The headline figures did not include exceptional items costs – such as plant closures and restructuring – totalling £19m.

“Our strong profit growth was achieved by a better than expected performance in our Beverage Cans business, primarily in Europe, and a continued focus on cost management,” said company chief executive Graham Chipchase.

Beverage can exceed expectations

Rexam’s European volumes climbed 6%, which means it now has a 40% market share of the region’s 57bn cans. It highlighted the growth of specialty cans that now account for almost 30% of cans sold, pack mix changes and an uptick in home consumption as key drivers.

Russia was singled out as a strong market for specialty can although the trend spans the whole of Europe. The firm’s own specialty volumes rose 10% in 2011.

Russian can growth as a whole was well above the regional average and Rexam revealed it is now seeking to invest in the eastern part of the country to tap growing demand and reduce shipping costs.

A new £68m two line plant is also planned for Finland for the beginning of 2013. A £20m cash injection into its Ludesch plant in Austria to meet booming demand in energy drinks has also been earmarked. The investment will boost capacity by 700m cans and is expected to come on stream by Q3 2013.

In Asia, the company said it would make a £30m investment in its Mumbai plant that would more than double capacity to 950m cans annually by the end of 2012.

North America rebound?

Rexam confirmed that its overall volumes in North America dropped 14% in 2011 after a string of previously announced contract losses. The firm struck a bullish note, declaring that it expected to recover most of this loss with new deals by 2013.

The company said it is currently the second largest can maker there with a 20% market share of the 95bn can sector.

Growth in specialty cans was again highlighted. Rexam said its specialty volumes rose by 16% in 2011, which means these now account for almost a quarter of is US output. This has been driven by an upsurge in demand for energy drinks, iced-tea, and beer.

Overall profit in its North American unit was said to be significantly higher that start-of-year estimates but no figures were provided

South America – Brazilian slowdown

The firm’s performance in the dominant regional market of Brazil was flat following a strong 2010. A shrinking national GDP, price increases by Rexam’s customers and unfavourable weather all slowed demand, it said.

The company was also hit by direct imports by its rivals and loss of volume share as customers sought to cut freight costs.

Rexam said it has a 60% share of Brazil’s beverage can market but recognized that growth would not always be constant. Opening of a new plant in Belem has been delayed to the second half of 2012.

Outlook

Chipchase said the company remained cautious about the global economy. He expected beverage can to remain robust but said he did not envisage “any turnaround in the performance of Plastic Packaging in the near term”.

A Type Resources sponsored workshop presenting techniques to reduce conflict and improve effectiveness through an innovative model of personality types

Louisville, KY (PRWEB) February 21, 2012

To help career coaches, therapists, and others make teams and other workplace and personal relationships more productive and enjoyable—and less stressful—Type Resources will present a workshop with prominent Jungian Analyst Dr. John Beebe, M.D. on May 18-19, 2012.

Based on Dr. Beebe’s eight function-attitude, eight archetype model, the workshop is titled "The Battle Continues...Winning the War Within" to emphasize the inner—and usually unconscious—processes that create conflict and personality clashes.

Grounded in the depth psychology of Carl Jung, Dr. Beebe’s model is intended to provide a deeper, clearer, more detailed way of understanding and dealing with personality types and their interactions than the older Myers-Briggs (MBTI) system, which has until recently been more familiar outside Jungian circles.

“We need to figure out which part of us is engaging what part of another person,” says Dr. Beebe. “Only then can we understand the interactions that don’t work for us, and get clearer how to use our function-attitudes more wisely.”

“Most of what goes on in interpersonal dynamics is unconscious,” adds Bob McAlpine, president of Type Resources. “We tend to assume that others react to what we say and do the way we would, which isn’t necessarily the case. As a result, the messages we intend to send—both overtly and by implication—often differ from what’s received. That can lead to misdirection, hurt feelings, resentments…not what you want in the workplace or your personal life.”

According to McAlpine, who will be co-facilitating the workshop, “It’s ideal for career and life coaches, psychotherapists, team facilitators and business and organizational managers, but anyone can benefit from it. The principles work in any relationship, from marriages and friendships to the largest enterprises.”

David Hughey, a former newspaper publisher and the founder and president of the Transition Leading consultancy in Durham, NC, says he has been impressed with Beebe’s approach. “It’s helped me help my clients—both organizations and individuals—to work more effectively and enjoyably. I expect this workshop to be as outstanding as the previous ones.”

Type Resources will offer early registrations at a discounted rate of $495 through February 29, after which the price will rise to $695. The firm has also partnered with the Breckinridge Inn in Louisville, where the event will be held, to offer rooms at a special rate of $69 per night. Registration instructions and additional details can be found on the Type Resources website (type-resources.com).

About John Beebe:

John Beebe, M.D., is a Jungian analyst and a former president of the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco. He is the founding editor of The San Francisco Jung Institute Library Journal and was the first American co-editor of the London-based Journal of Analytical Psychology. Dr. Beebe has written several articles and book chapters regarding Jungian theory and is the author of Integrity in Depth, a book about the nature and development of integrity.

Better Workplace and Personal Relationships Start in the Unconscious Mind, Says Jungian Analyst

Rexam (Dusseldorf: 948922.DU - news) ticked higher as the maker of drinks cans put its personal care business up for sale, but the benchmark index retreated amid scepticism over the Greek bailout.

Rexam, which makes Red Bull and PepsiCo (Euronext: PEP.NX - news) cans as well as packaging for food, healthcare and cosmetic products, said it had decided to hive off the undperforming personal care unit as it did not expect a turnaround in the near term. The unit has been hit by rising costs and lower volumes.

While Rexam did not put a price tag on the unit, or give a timeframe for its sale, analysts have said the business could fetch up to £350m.

Rexam leapt 7.4pc, but the blue-chips as a whole were on the wane as investors speculated that yesterday's bailout deal for Greece has merely averted a messy default in the short term, rather than put an end to the eurozone debt saga.

Richard Hunter, head of equities at Hargreaves Lansdown, said the Greek bailout was "more of a reprieve rather than a rescue ... it does not necessarily solve the long-term problem.

"Probably, the biggest question that has remained unanswered coming out of it is the implications for other nations."

Volumes on the FTSE 100 (Euronext: VFTSE.NX - news) were thin, highlighting concerns among investors about injecting cash into the market when fears about longer-term issues over Europe (Chicago Options: ^REURUSD - news) 's debt situation remained, and the index fell 11.65 points to 5,916.55.

Leading the laggards was Vedanta Resources (EUREX: VR9F.EX - news) as the miner succumbed to profit-taking, falling 5.02pc.

Supermarket giant, Tesco (LSE: TSCO.L - news) , came under pressure, easing 2.3pc as Bank of America-Merrill Lynch (NYSE: MER - news) switched its rating to "underperform".

"Tesco has format and brand/offer issues in the UK that will take time to fix; and international performance remains mixed," said analysts.

Further down the market, Cove Energy (Berlin: LPC.BE - news) soared 25.6pc as Royal Dutch Shell (LSE: RDSB.L - news) - up 0.5pc - made a £992.4m bid for the explorer. Shell has offered 195p-per-share in cash, which Cove's directors said they would recommend to shareholders.

"The 195p proposed offer is unlikely to face a challenge in our view and, having been longstanding fans of the Cove story, we downgrade to Hold," said analysts at Investec (Frankfurt: A0J32R - news) .

"There may be more bids in E&P-land. In terms of laterals, we expect further acquisitions and highlight Ophir and Gulf Keystone (LSE: GKP.L - news) as the two most likely bid targets in our view," they added.

FTSE 100: Rexam rises as puts personal care business up for sale

Ripple Effects’ Software Discreetly Gives Children of Alcoholics Personal Support While Preserving Peer Relationships

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) February 22, 2012

In recognition of Children of Alcoholics Week, Ripple Effects’ CEO, Alice Ray opens up about how her personal experience as a child growing up in an alcoholic home inspired her to create Ripple Effects (http://www.rippleeffects.com), the leading digital provider of student social-emotional learning and self-directed mental health guidance tools, and how the software discreetly offers hope and personal support to children of alcoholics today. Motivated by both scientific research and her own experiences, Ray has created a school-based software program that gives children facing discipline and behavioral issues the opportunity to discreetly lookup and define their problems. Once they choose a topic, children can then get professionally vetted answers and solutions through multi-media tutorials with true video stories and games that provide skill building, problem solving and personal guidance. As a result, teachers and school administrators are seeing positive change and lasting outcomes in children that have historically been a challenging group to reach and help.

Over the last 10 years, Ripple Effects has found that when children in discipline settings are allowed to privately use the innovative software program to explore what THEY think are the reasons underlying behavior problems, 18% of students in second to fifth grade lookup the words “alcoholic parent” and 18% lookup the word “beaten.” These same students secondarily lookup the words “angry” and “afraid.” But these same students rarely speak up to trusted adults at school and present behavior problems to offset attention to their home situation. As students get older, the focus on alcoholic parents continues to be high; but they also explore topics such as “dating abuse,” “domestic violence,” and “depression,” as well as “anger” and “fear”.

According to Ray, “Children themselves intuitively know what scientists discovered 15 years ago with the landmark Study of Adverse Childhood Events (ACE): living with alcoholism, domestic violence, and abuse, can result in social-emotional and cognitive impairments that lead to life-long negative health outcomes. Kids also know from their own lives the connection that scientists have only recently confirmed: social-emotional impairments that follow in the wake of adverse child experiences also have a major impact on school performance, both academic and behavioral.”

Childhood trauma has a social and emotional impact that hurts grades and behavior. The ACE Study calls for “an integrated approach to intervene early on behalf of children growing up with alcohol abuse in the home and the abuse, violence, neglect, and the other ACEs that frequently co-occur in these homes.” Emerging educational policy calls for school-based, early intervening services for students who carry these risks. But how can you deliver these services without further stigmatizing children who may treasure school as their only sanctuary from difficult family circumstances? How do you make sure that all kids have access to the most effective strategies for building their resilience, while not compromising their privacy? And how do you make it affordable?

These are some of the questions that prompted Ray to co-found Ripple Effects and develop the social-emotional intervention software that is now listed on the National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP) as a comprehensive children’s mental health intervention, with documented positive impact on both grades and resilience assets of empathy and problem solving.

For Ray, mitigating the impact of adverse childhood experiences has never been an esoteric challenge. She says, “My father’s alcoholism was the trigger for a cascade of awful personal circumstances that nearly swamped me. School was a sanctuary for me. The last thing I wanted was for some well-meaning teacher or counselor to drag my horrible family experiences into the only place that was clean of them. On the few occasions they did, I reacted by acting out to divert attention anywhere else. Still, it would have helped so much to know that my experiences were not so very uncommon, and that I could learn coping skills, including eventually talking to a trusted adult, that would have made things easier.”

“I was a lucky one and thrived despite my circumstance. Others in my family were not so lucky. Seeing the lifelong crippling effects of early emotional injury on a brother has been a continuing motivation to prevent other children from experiencing those outcomes. Efficacy research is showing that we are meeting that goal, at a level beyond what I thought was possible.”

Previously failing students who privately used Ripple Effects, in lieu of math or language arts just twice a week for seven weeks, saw their grades go up more than a full point within a single semester. They stayed in school at higher rates. Discipline problems went down. In addition, students who were exposed to Ripple Effects for universal, social-emotional skill building saw scores for empathy and problem solving (resiliency assets) go up. More than 4000 schools across the US are already using Ripple Effects as a cost-effective, personalized intervention for children with social-emotional challenges.

ABOUT RIPPLE EFFECTS

Based in San Francisco, Ripple Effects (http://www.rippleeffects) is the leading digital provider of student social-emotional learning and self-directed mental health guidance tools for children and teens. Ripple Effects’ line of award-winning, evidence-based software programs use peer narration and interactive gaming to reach vulnerable students and positively change behavior. These media-rich programs are used in more than 600 school districts, after-school, and community programs nationally, and have garnered 30 major awards.

Story last updated at 2/22/2012 - 12:07 pm

By Hanna Sebold | For the Capital City Weekly

JUNEAU - On March 3, Juneau community members will return to Lemon Creek Correction Center for the fifth annual Success Inside and Out program. Participants in the program will offer their experiences, knowledge and a helping hand for incarcerated persons who are facing release from custody.

The program's goal is to help male and female inmates avoid the pitfalls of the revolving jail door and start a new life after serving their time. The program is also designed to help victims. If inmates find work and success after their release, they can pay restitution and child support and can give back to the community they harmed.

The day-long program will include break-out sessions led by community members of different disciplines. These sessions address inmates' questions about personal finances, credit counseling, employment, housing, probation, mental health, addiction issues, family, job skills training, exploring spiritual resources as well as art and personal fitness.

According to past participants, one of the most touching moments each year is a discussion with past inmates who are succeeding on the outside. Besides the courage it shows for them to return to LCCC, they bravely share their stories about what landed them in jail, the struggles they faced once released and how they have managed to succeed.

Despite the hard work, the program also offers fun, including a Dress for Success: Dos and Don'ts presentation, providing insight on how to dress appropriately for a job interview. Local musicians Colette Costa and Scott Burton will perform, as well as Paper Moon, a band including Alan Michael, Gordon Sandy, Kelly Henriksen and Martha DeFreest. Each participant will receive a goodie bag and has the opportunity to win door prizes.

The program is made possible by donations of time, treats and prizes from Subway, Bullwinkle's Pizza, The Island Pub, Coogan Construction, Central Council Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska, Northern Sales, SERCC, Little Mermaid and other Juneau businesses and individuals.

Only time will tell if this program works to stop the revolving door. There are many factors that contribute to individuals reoffending, but giving people a helping hand is one way to stop the revolving door.

Anyone who is interested in donating items, such as clothes for the Dress for Success program, watches (to get to work on time), stamps or gift certificates, contact Sharon Heidersdorf at 463-4700.

NCTA Announces CEA’s Gary Shapiro to Speak on Innovation and the Key to Economic Success

Hewlett-Packard Co. forecast fiscal second-quarter profit that missed analysts' estimates as consumers curtail personal-computer buying, doing more computing on smartphones and tablets made by rivals.

Profit excluding some items will be 88 cents to 91 cents a share for the period that ends in April, Palo Alto, California- based Hewlett-Packard said today in a statement. That fell short of 95 cents, the average analyst estimate, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Shares slipped in extended trading.

Sales in the PC group declined 15 per cent in the first quarter, the company said, as consumers held off on buying new machines. The results suggest that Chief Executive Officer Meg Whitman's attempts to reverse a sales slump aren't yet taking hold. Rival Dell Inc. yesterday forecast a sales decline for the current quarter amid tepid demand from consumers and governments.

Advertisement: Story continues below

“All these segments are going to have headwinds,” said Abhey Lamba, an analyst at Mizuho Securities USA Inc. in New York, who began coverage of Hewlett-Packard on Feb. 8 with a “neutral” rating.

Consumers may wait to buy new PCs before Microsoft Corp. releases its Windows 8 software later this year. Hewlett- Packard's printer group also has too many unsold products sitting in dealers' inventory. And shifting to more profitable services will take time, he said.

“It's not going to be a one-year turnaround,” Lamba said.

First-quarter profit

In the first quarter, which ended Jan. 31, profit excluding some items declined to 92 cents a share, compared with analysts' average estimate of 87 cents. Sales fell 7 per cent to $US30 billion. Analysts had projected $US30.8 billion.

Whitman is seeking to halt the missed sales forecasts and strategy shifts that marked the tenure of her predecessor, Leo Apotheker, who resigned Sept. 22.

Whitman has said she will attempt to rebuild Hewlett- Packard's balance sheet and invest in research and development. She also said she'll eschew big acquisitions and strategy overhauls that characterized her predecessor's tenure. Apotheker left in September after a year and a half of management turmoil, falling computer demand and reduced growth forecasts.

Whitman reversed a proposal, floated under Apotheker, to jettison Hewlett-Packard's $US39.6 billion PC business. She's also opted to turn the WebOS operating system into an open-source project, letting outside programmers tinker with the code and use it in their own electronics devices.

Annual forecast

When the company reported fourth-quarter results Nov. 21, it forecast profit for fiscal 2012, which began Nov. 1, of at least $US4 a share; analysts had expected $US4.58. Whitman said she expected a “tough” year ahead and that she would eschew big acquisitions while investing in research and development.

Hewlett-Packard shares dropped to $US28.46 in extended trading after the report. They had fallen 1.4 per cent to $US28.94 at the close in New York. The shares have climbed 12 per cent this year after losing 39 per cent of their value in 2011.

Companies are buying packages of servers, storage and networking gear from Hewlett-Packard and Dell, which are under- pricing competitors, Peter Misek, an analyst at Jefferies & Co., said in a Feb. 15 report to clients. He has a “buy” rating on Hewlett-Packard.

U.S PC shipments declined last year for the first time in a decade and the industry is wrestling with a shortage of hard drives after flooding crippled factories in Thailand last year. Meanwhile, Apple Inc.'s iPad is cutting into PC sales, and Lenovo Group Inc. is gaining market share.

Hewlett-Packard, Dell and other PC makers are counting on a new crop of thin-and-light laptops called ultrabooks to spur sales.
