Atricle Dump - Shifting Goal Posts
Restaurant owners don’t run a cash machine 24/7. They face the reality of being observed by thieves undercover and this alone is a serious threat not only to the business but to the safety of the management, staff and customers. The most difficult part about this harm is there is no certain point one realizes that there is a thief lurking around the corner waiting for the right time to attack. And the sad part about it is there are a big percentage
a) At least 80% of bus services to operate at headway of not more than 15 minutes during weekday peak periods (excluding pubic holidays), unless otherwise stipulated by the PTC.
b) At least 85% of bus services to operate at headway of not more than 20 minutes during off-peak periods, unless otherwise stipulated by the PTC.
Let me clarify that I am not against shifting goal posts per se (a.k.a refining the targets) because I totally appreciate that targets need to be adjusted or refined due to change in commuters' expectations and other factors
There are many fundraising companies that are out there today, and one of the most well-known and successful of all is the Ready Fundraising Company. They are a fundraising company which began in the year 1909 as the manufacturer of Ready Jell, and this firm is one which supplies and sells fundraising programs to youth groups throughout the United States.Owned and operated by the same family for over four generations during a 90 year history,
Goalpost #1:
Previous goal post (1996): LTA White PaperWe only started MRT operations in 1987. We cannot grow a comprehensive network over the next few years. However we will build up the network incrementally, properly sized to match our city of the future. Over a decade or two, the results will be significant and clearly visible. Our target is to have as high as percentage of trips on a quality public transport system as in Zurich, where 75% of trips into the city centre are by public transport.
Current goal post (2006): Speech by Raymond Lim, 23 Oct
The aim is to increase the proportion of trips taken on public transport during the morning peak period from 63% today to at least 70% over the next 10 to 15 years.
Goalpost #2:
Previous goal post (2001): Speech by Mr Yeo Cheow Tong, 23 Oct
Provided the financial position of the Government remains strong, the plan is to increase the network from 90 km today to over 150 km in 2006, and to about 240 km by 2012. In the long-term rail masterplan, the network will reach over 500 km, which is more than five times today's coverage.
Current goal post (2007): Speech by Mr Mah Bow Tan, 9 Feb
LTA will be evaluating other new lines as well as extensions to current lines in different parts of Singapore which are currently under-served by the RTS network as part of the overall master plan. In the long term, we may need to at least double our rail network. (Author's note: current RTS network stands at 138km. Doubling rail network will reach about 280km.)
Goalpost #3:
Previous goal post (1994): Basic Bus Service Standards (Public Transport Council, PTC)
a) At least 100% of bus services to operate at headway of not more than 10 minutes during weekday peak periods (excluding pubic holidays), unless otherwise stipulated by the PTC.
b) At least 100% of residential bus services to operate at headway of not more than 15 minutes during off-peak periods, unless otherwise stipulated by the PTC.

Are you a small business owner in search for a prestigious registered office address?A registered office address is of paramount significance for a business. The Government agencies send all the official correspondence documents to the registered address of a company. Having an effective and renowned address for corporate communication plays a crucial role as it not only boosts up the image of the company among the public but also enab

So much has been written and said about the current prospects for the investment property market in Bulgaria now that the nation has joined the European Union; opinion ranges from those who believe the hike in property prices prior to EU accession represented the majority of the positive adjustment due in Bulgaria, to those who are certain that property prices could now mirror those of other recent EU entrants where prices doubled following accessio

Whether you are a high flying executive or an office junior, it is hard for relationship breakdown at home not to affect performance at work. Indeed many career-minded people find themselves in the sudden and unenviable position of being home alone. Something which most men, in my experience as a coach and matchmaker, are not very good at.Preferring to spend as little time at home as possible, some seek solace by working long hours and avoi

You know that your business is basically sound and that it has the potential to be a success in the long run. You also know that the monthly cash flow is not equal to the monthly bills and the demands of payments for supplies, rents, shipping and taxes that face all businesses. Perhaps the monthly income has been affected by a past economic slowdown and consumer spending cutbacks. However, all the current indications are now that the situation is

Let me clarify that I am not against shifting goal posts per se (a.k.a refining the targets) because I totally appreciate that targets need to be adjusted or refined due to change in commuters' expectations and other factors that could render them unattainable or unrealistic. However, my observation is that the goal posts were shifted without providing any rationale. And the best part of this saga? The new targets, which are of a lower standards, are hailed as the next great milestones to achieve.
* Shifting goal posts (v): changing positions or targets. Used by Prof S Jayakumar (Minister for Foreign Affairs, Singapore) in Jan 2003 to explain to Parliament on how Malaysia repeatedly changed its positions in negotiation of water supply to Singapore.
