Different people develop at different rates, a LEADER must understand this!
If you are a leader of any kind you need to be best motivator. Keep a thumb rule in you mind, different people develop at different rates. The best motivators always lookout for the hidden capacities that are best to come. As a leader more than getting laurels the biggest role is to find the best in others and develop it.
If ever you selfish yourself asks you not to do this have a look at history and remember that the best in the world where low or poor performers sometime earlier in their life. Albert Einstein could only speak when he was four years old and read when he was seven. Isaac Newton did bad in school and so did Thomas Edison. Walt Disney was fired by the newspaper editor as he had “No good ideas”.
As a leader the primary role is to develop every team member to his/her best. Always remember “The Best is yet to Come”
Earth hour 2010
On March 27th every year the Earth Hour is celebrated but in a very different style. People across the globe and that too millions of us switch off all appliances and lights. By doing this they participate in EARTH HOUR. This is done from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM i.e. for 1 hr. As per my knowledge this is the biggest environment awareness program on the planet.
So PARTICIPATE!!!!!!!!!!
SWITCH OFF ALL ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES FROM 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM TOMORROW for a better Earth!

Google ultra high-speed broadband network, where?
With just a few hours left before our submission deadline, we’ve received more than 600 community responses to our request for information (RFI), and more than 190,000 responses from individuals (we’ll post an update with the final numbers later tonight).
Let’s wait and watch where Google will build the experimental, ultra high-speed broadband network. Will they start somewhere in Bay Area as it is where their headquarters are OR will they try this in some other place. We all are curious and waiting to see who is the chosen one?

The Future of Creative Advertisement
It was beyond my imagination to understand the new wave of advertisement that is taking shape right now. I have never thought how social media can be used in the media ads. This was clearly evident as I surfed the following two state of the technology ads:
- An award-winning rich media ad that was created by Euro RSCG for the new Volvo XC60

- A great campaign for Harley Davidson, created by the agency Overdrive
Both of these adds almost like websites with interactive video, games, photo and gallery. At the very same time these were seamlessly integrated with twitter and facebook. The huge number of hits that these ads gathered is evident of the fact that a revolution in the field of marketing is going to take place soon as the technologies are more available to achieve the same now.
I read this exiting story at google blog by Neal Mohan, Vice President of Product Management.
Database Migration from Postgres to SQL Server or any other DB to SQL Server
Upgrade to SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 7.0
In order to migrate a database from POSTGRES to MS SQL Server use a very powerful set of tools called Data Transformation Services (DTS). These tools can help you perform these tasks in Microsoft SQL Server 2000. DTS can help you import, export, and/or transform data from various sources to single or multiple locations. Please refer to a very good illustrative article for all details at TechRepublic.
In order to migrate data from postgres please install an ODBC driver for postgres so that the DTS can communicate with the postgres. Once this is done use import/export or copy database wizard available in MS SQL Server. Create a DTS job on your MS SQL Server and schedule it using dtsrun.
Upgrade to SQL Server 2005
If you are migrating to SQL Server 2005 you can use Import/Export wizard provided by Integration Services package (SSIS) or even the Data Transformation Services (DTS).
In order to use SSIS you need to have SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio installed. A very nice tutorial that illustrates how to use the import/export on SSIS is available at Database Journal written by Gregory A. Larsen
If you are confused between DTS and SSIS please refer to a very good discussion on Simple Talk. Laso refer to MSDN for better details.
Good resource on Postgres.
