Disruptive Technology Affects Hr Staffing

Clayton Christensen wrote a book in 1997 that created an earthquake in the global business world. His book, The Innovator’s Dilemma describes “disruptive technology” in the marketplace that creates a firestorm of innovation so quickly, that renders known, present technologies is obsolete. It’s the process of a product or service that takes root in simple applications at the bottom of the market and through relentless movement upward, suddenly displaces established competitors.

Examples of disruptive technology is described in these terms to these products: vinyl records were suddenly replaced by 8 track tapes that were replaced by cassettes that were replaced by cd’s that were replaced by iPods. What happened to the Walkman? Look at MP3 players and the iPod. What happened to 35mm film? Look at digital cameras. Kodak thought digital photography was a passing fad but when digital hit the marketplace and stayed and grew, it displaced 35mm film developing with instant photos through digital technology.

How does disruptive technology affect human resources staffing?

Disruptive technologies change the nature of an industry thereby changing a firm’s viability that does not adopt disruptive technologies. Although the technologies may not show immediate results, the sudden change will change human resource staffing in order to accommodate the technology success. The success could reflect lower cost, simpler operation, smaller size and greater convenience. That means technology success will eventually affect HR staffing in terms of decreasing or increasing the size of employee staffing. Either way, HR departments have to be ready for the change and work accordingly to stay up with the technology growth, company growth and relevance in the industry and ultimately, in the marketplace.

Both the intended and unintended effects of specific human resource practices must be considered and firms must be prepared to accept the development of unsuccessful new technologies as well as successful technologies that may develop into disruptive technologies. It is incumbent on the acting firm to stay on the cutting edge ahead of the competition but also keep an eye that employee loads and functions are inline with what is happening with technology. If the HR department does not stay up with the technologies, understaffing or overstaffing may occur, this can affect production and proper output. Bottom line advice to HR departments is to stay with the flow and see success with your company as disruptive technology breaks the competition.

The research of Alexander Golod

The New World Wonder you can admire in Russia now! A huge Pyramid that combines the mystery of ancient legends with modern technologies and scientific achievements is opening its doors for excursions soon.

The forty four meter high Pyramid near Moscow is built without using any metal. It is made of fiberglass constructions.

Twenty years of research and experiments have allowed a group of scientists led by Alexander Golod to determine specific shape, size, and material of a pyramid, with which the influence of pyramid on the surrounding environment is most beneficial and harmonious.

Driving 20 kilometers from Moscow Ring Road you will get to the 38th kilometer of Moscow-Riga highway – the place where this unique architectural building was raised. Hundred thousands of people including famous actors, singers, sculptors, majors and presidents have already been to the biggest Russian Pyramid. This Pyramid was built and is researched by scientists under Alexander Golod’s supervision.

The monks from Japan, Korea and Tibet got interested in the Russian Pyramid, they consider it to be the ideal place, meaning the space inside and around it. Their ideas are confirmed by scientific researches made in institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences. All the researches showed positive influence on ecology and human health while visiting the Pyramid or using products, crystals, solutions and objects prepared there.

Such pyramid was named The Golden Section Pyramid. The golden section is one of the main principles in architecture, painting, and science. Masterpieces of architecture and art, the Nature itself and the pinnacle of its creation – human being, are created by this exact proportion. For the past 15 years more than 50 Golden Section Pyramids have been built.

The highest pyramid of 44 meters was built in 1999. The process of preparation of the area for pyramid construction took more than 5 years. The Pyramid is made of non-conductive materials without a single metal element. The ABO (Adaptation of Biological Objects) technology, developed during the construction process of the pyramid, allows to use energy of the 44-meter pyramid at any time, any place with the convenience of pyramid matrices, mini-pyramids, pyramid crystals and pyramid water.

The potency of pharmaceuticals increased with decreasing side effects.
There is an increase in survival of cellular tissue infected by viruses and bacteria. The pyramids decrease the strength of various viruses and bacteria.
When radioactive waste is placed inside the pyramids, there is a decrease in their level of radioactivity.

Introduction To Frozen Dough Technology

After working for years in the frozen dough industry, supplying frozen products to bakeries, cafes and restaurants, I had the chance and the pleasure to get quite a lot of experience in the production of good quality frozen dough. A good quality frozen dough product is a product which, after having been frozen for up to 6 months, still comes out of the oven as beautiful, appetising, attractive to the eyes and tasty as a fresh product. So it gives me a great pleasure to share with you some of the secrets about frozen dough production.

First don’t get mixed up with “Retarded Dough System” and “Frozen Dough Technology”. Those are two different ways of processing the dough, the first one is very simple and the second one is very much more elaborate.
– The Retarded Dough System is just normal dough that we place in a normal freezer, to be used up at a later time, may be 1, 2, or 3 days later. This dough loses some of its performance capability during the freezing process and cannot be kept frozen for more than a few days only. This is just a convenient process that we can use in some short term situations.
– The Frozen Dough Technology on the other hand is a very detailed and specific way of processing the dough, that enable the user to get the optimum performance out of the dough which has been frozen for a longer period of time. This period of time could be from just a few weeks to a few months; 6 months being regarded as a maximum for a live dough containing yeast. This is exactly what this article is all about.

First, how many kinds of frozen dough processes can we differentiate?
1) Ready to Prove Frozen Dough, good for most yeast dough and puff pastry as well.
2) Ready to Bake Frozen Dough, recommended especially for croissant and Danish pastry items.
3) Part Baked Frozen Dough, good for bread items, not recommended for croissant, Danish pastry items, and sweet bread and bun items.
4) Full Baked Frozen Dough, good for sweet bread/bun and soft roll, not recommended for bread, croissant, Danish pastry and puff pastry items.
5) Raw Frozen Dough Ready to Bake (Proving in the oven), not available yet, new technology still under intense research and development.

Critical points to succeed in frozen dough preparation
1) Make sure that the fermentation process does not start at any stage during the production.
To achieve that: one must control the temperature of the dough during all the different stages of the process, from the very beginning (mixing) to the very end (proving baking).
Ideally dough temperature must not exceed 16C (61F) during the mixing, dividing and filling of the products.
After the blast freezing procedure the ideal storage temperature is from -18C (64F) TO -22C (72F).

2) To keep the dough temperature under 16C (61F), at all time during processing, is the most difficult part and to achieve this goal we need to:
a) Keep the room temperature at between 16C (61F) and 20C (68F).
b) Use cold flour. Before use, the flour should be stored in a chiller (+4C) (39F).
c) Use cold water from a chiller or a water cooler.
d) Replace 25% of the liquid used (water/milk) with ice flakes. Or if ice flakes are not available the use of icy cold water (+2C) (35F) is recommended.
e) Work the dough straight away from the mixer without or with as little rest as possible between the different stages.
f) Freeze the dough, after shaping and filling, as fast as possible and this is when we need a blast freezer to freeze the product very fast up to the core. Why do we need to freeze the dough as fast as possible? The answer is: To bring the temperature deep inside the products to around -8C (17F) to -15C (5F) very fast, around 10 to 30 minutes, depending of the size of the products. This way the ice crystals formed during the freezing process are very small and do not damage the dough structure. If the freezing process is too long (from 3 to 6 hours with a conventional freezer) the crystals formed inside the dough are very big and will damage the yeast and the gluten structure. Then in this case the product will be very long to prove and will not rise to its maximum desired size, this is typically a low quality frozen dough.

Now looking at each kind of frozen dough processes one by one, we can say that for bread items the part baked system is the best and gives very good results. For croissant and Danish pastry items (as well as bread items) the ready to bake system gives outstanding results, but demands strict supervision, good equipment and premise.

Regarding the ingredients used in the production of frozen dough, they are almost the same as for the normal type of dough except two slight differences.
First, the yeast. Instant yeast and fresh yeast are both good to use but we always have better results with fresh yeast, products are faster to prove with more oven spring as well. Also when it comes to the quantity of yeast used, we have to increase it quite a lot (up to 2 to 3 times the normal quantity) to compensate of the yeast dying during the freezing process.
Second, the dough/bread improver used should be a special kind of improver for frozen dough only. There are many brands available on the market.

Hopefully this article has given you some useful things to think about before you start mixing the dough and I really hope you enjoyed this introduction to the process of frozen production.

Veinlite Is Leader In Transilluminator Technology For Vein Imaging And Venous Access

Veinlite is highly regarded in the industry as the leader in transilluminator technology for Vein Imaging. The side-transillumination method is where a bright ring of light is placed on the skin and focused under the skin to form a virtual light source below the skin. This virtual light source is like having a bright light bulb under the skin that moves with the Veinlite. Therefore, uniform transillumination of the skin is made possible almost anywhere on the skin. An opening in the Veinlite devices provides access to the vein while imaging it for faster and accurate vein access. The unique design of the Veinlite devices blocks the vein and stretches the skin for easier access.

The innovative Veinlite products using Transilluminator Technology for Vein Imaging and Venous Access include the following:

Veinlite PEDI is the smallest pocket Veinlite for vein imaging and access in babies, newborns and neonates. An innovative snap-on adapter converts this to a through the body transilluminator for finding veins in neonate limbs. It has 12 dual color LEDs and uses a disposable lithium battery.

Veinlite EMS is an affordable pocket Veinlite for general vein access. This device is perfect for finding veins in adults and children. It has 16 dual color LEDs and uses two AA batteries. The new Veinlite EMS works well in assisting with vein imagining and access regardless of the lighting conditions or the color of the patients skin. Its simple operation and easy to follow instructions makes it a breeze even for the technologically challenged. The durable and lightweight light performs effective vein imaging even in near abusive situations.

Veinlite LED is the brightest and best pocket Veinlite for vein access and sclerotherapy. This device has 24 dual colored LEDs and a lithium rechargeable battery. It comes with pediatric adapter and a light shield. The new Veinlite LED is the most powerful pocket transilluminator available today for vein imaging prior to vein access or for consultation with patients prior to varicose vein treatment. Its unique C-shaped design and side-transillumination method creates uniform lighting for vein imaging anywhere on the body. Use of two scientifically selected LED colors, orange and red, permits visualization of veins in light or dark pigmented skin. The Veinlite LED is also used for standard through-the-body transillumination in children, babies and neonates. Solid-state LEDs used in the Veinlite LED create almost no heat.

Veinlite is a bright [150 watts] fiber optic based transilluminator for mapping of varicose veins and vein access. This device comes with either a large ring for adults or small ring for pediatric applications. It is excellent for mapping superficial varicose veins and finding feeder veins for sclerotherapy.

Veinlite is manufactured by Translite and is well known for vein finder for vein access in children, neonates, emergency medicine, critical care, radiology and oncology. For more information about the Transilluminator technology and Veinlite products visit veinlite.
