Academics from Oxford University have mathematically proven long held suspicions that the Eurovision Song contest is a fix. The team Cheap Hakeem Olajuwon Jersey , led by Professor Neil Johnson of Lincoln College, compared statistical models of a contest where votes were fairly cast purely on musical merit with actual results over twelve years of the competition's history to expose the complex political allegiances and cliques at the heart of Eurovision.

The habit of close neighbours, such as Greece and Cyprus, Norway and Sweden, and Russia and Belarus of awarding each other maximum points in the contest, has long been a subject of controversy. Last year Cheap Josh Smith Jersey , television host Terry Wogan condemned the competition as "biased" and called on the Broadcasting Union to take action. The study was designed to ascertain how 'European' various countries were.

The Eurovision Song Contest was selected as the subject of the study because of its relative lack of economic and government bias. As such it was judged to be a good measure of compatibility between countries. Some of the findings, which were published in arXiv, an online archive more at home with papers on physics, were surprising. Britain, for example, was deemed more integrated into Europe than France Cheap KJ McDaniels Jersey , drawing votes from a far wider area.

However, this doesn't appear to have helped Britain's entry Javine, who was placed 22nd in this year's contest held in the Ukranian capital of Kiev. Sadly, however, Dr Johnson did not much enjoy the competition on Saturday. "Personally I didn't think much of any of the songs," he commented Cheap Michael Beasley Jersey , professing that he does not watch it for the music, although he remains very fond of 1974's winner, Waterloo.

Is Your Company Focused on Growth or Great? Business Articles | August 11, 2019

The media tells you Cheap Corey Brewer Jersey , you have to grow! Investors want growth too.


But is growth necessarily a good thing?


We’re so distracted by growth that we fail to ask ourselves, why does growth even matter?


Sure, growth can mean that you make more money (though not necessarily!). It can mean that you get to do new things, innovative things.


But if all of that is at the expense of great, is it worthwhile?


One of the reasons the companies I work with focus on impact, whether it’s social or environmental Cheap Donatas Motiejunas Jersey , is that their founders feel that impact is part of what makes a company great. Abandoning great in favor of growth can lead you to abandon the values that are most important to you, and abandon the vision of impact that made your company great.


Great depends on a thriving and nurturing culture. Great depends on a high quality product that contributes something. Great depends on the impact that you have.


Growth can be good, but not when it happens at the expense of quality. That’s dangerous territory, because it jeopardizes the value of the company.


You don’t have to be big to do great things – size is not the only determinant. Everything you do has an effect. It affects your employees, your suppliers, your customers. That effect ripples out.


Consistent growth is desirable Cheap Louis Williams Jersey , when it’s not at the expense of quality. More often, though, growth plateaus, so that the rest of us can catch up. You become a better CEO, one who is able to handle the bigger company. Your staff gets better at handling the increased capacity. Your customers are bigger, and you need to get used to that too and create the necessary systems.?


Growth is about more than numbers. Growth is about human growth too Cheap Sam Dekker Jersey , about our capacity to effectively manage an expanded portfolio.


As your company is growing, keep asking yourself, am I sacrificing greatness for growth? It’s a tradeoff that you may not be willing to make, and you may not have to.
