Last month, Microsoft has implied that it would give up the brand of Nokia and Windows Phone. Verified by The Verge, which is an American technology blog, Microsoft will replace Nokia by Lumia to be a new brand name for sure.

Microsoft has been transforming the nokia.com to be a mobile phone website for itself gradually. Meanwhile, the Nokia France has already named its social website username as “Microsoft Lumia”. Furthermore, Microsoft has announced that, this new name will be used in other countries widely in the next few weeks.

Although Microsoft has determined to give up Nokia, it does not mean that the brand name of Nokia will disappear entirely. Having sold its mobile business to Microsoft, Nokia is still an independent company. However, it is now focusing more on the Nokia Map and the construction of the Internet. 

There is still one problem waiting to be solved. How will Microsoft deal with the brand of Windows Phone. According to the industry sources, the Nokia loge on the Lumia device will be replaced by “Microsoft” or “Lumia” in the future. There is also a great chance to be named as “Microsoft Lumia”.

The First Nation issue is a undeniable problem in Canada. On one hand, people want to protect the tradition and habits of the native people. On the other hand, development needs resources which means people need to find new resources for growing business. Unfortunately, most of unmined resources are in the region of the Fist Nation’s.

According to the tribal park issue. People who have signed the contract for having the rights to mine are facing with the problem of native people declaring the mining area as their tribal park. It is hard to tell who is right or wrong, or say, legal or illegal.

Rationally, the company has paid for the area and the mine project had been permitted by the provincial government. They are legally having the right to do whatever they are allowed to on this area.

However, from the side of the native people. We may have a sense of looting these resources from the First Nation. The people who from the First Nation can always say that this area is their home, their origin. They can also claim that they don’t need money, they just want their home to be what it should be. 

This is why the issue of First Nation has always been a problem for organizational business model. The line between native people and others is vague and hard to split. May be it is hard for people to cooperate, but I think we can find a better way to coexist.

According to The Huffington Post. E-mail, cellphones and other communication technologies have made people’s work more flexible. However, these also make employees disturbed by their bosses after work. Accumulating over a long period, employees will be exhausted by this kind of work style. In order to carry out “Knock Off is Off”, the German Labor Minister Andrea Nahles is generating a legislation that would ban employers from contacting workers after office hours.

Andrea told the media that the mental sickness has a undeniable relationship with the work-related stress. Therefore, she is in charge of the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to work out whether it is possible to set load thresholds. She also admits that, there will be a big difficulty to carry out this legislation.

In Germany, it has already been illegal for employers to contact their employees during holidays. For example, some large enterprises like BMW, has already carried out the prohibition for directors to ban them contact their workers after work.

Andrea Nahles also appeals that, the country should put forward the legislation, and protocol a standard with absolute commitments and the availability to carry out broadly. Knock off is off.

Years’ of multi-tasking makes him become a person who can arrange time reasonably. Here is the experience shared by Robert.

As the person who works at investment field, Robert thinks, people should arrange or invest their time and energy smartly. The most important two things are regularization and prioritization. Regularization can help save time. For example, Robert get up on time daily, having familiar breakfast and lunch. Because he thinks that what to eat or what to wear is not important decision; he should not waste time on these trivial matters.

For the people who are tired out by too many meetings. Robert suggests them to have clear targets or goals at the meetings. The number of people who attend meetings should be limited, no more than 8 people. What’s more, the duration of meetings should be no more than ninety minutes.

For the bosses who want to improve the efficiency and productivity of their employees. Robert suggests them to lead with results. It is unnecessary to worry too much about what their employees are doing at working time. The tasks of bosses should be setting the standards for performance assessment, definite the target clearly, and provide enough resource for the work. All in all, let the employees to work in their own ways.

Finally, Robert thinks that taking a nap or doing some exercise during working time can do a big favor for refreshing. Having a clear brain is the source of success.
