Edge Perspectives with John Hagel: From Push to Pull Pull models treat people as networked creators (even when they are customers purchasing goods and services) who are uniquely positioned to transform uncertainty from a problem into an opportunity. Finally, pull platforms are emerging at the demographic edge – younger generations more comfortable with the technologies and tools emerging on electronic networks are pioneering both the creation and use of pull platforms to create businesses that grow extremely fast with relatively modest investment. Pull platforms are designed from the outset to handle exceptions, while push programs treat exceptions as indications of failure. edgeperspectives.typepad.com /edge_perspectives/2005/10/from_push_to_pu.html   (1721 words)

Pier 1 Imports Recalls Pull Toys The pull toys came in three styles: a brown bear, a gray elephant, and a red and black soldier, each on a wooden base with wheels and a pull string that has a bead at the end. CPSC tested the pull toys and found that the small wooden beads at the end of the pull strings separated during tension testing, presenting a potential choking hazard to young children. Consumers are urged to take the pull toys away from young children immediately and return them to any Pier 1 Imports store for a full refund or exchange for other merchandise. www.cpsc.gov /cpscpub/prerel/prhtml94/94041.html   (424 words)

Michael Pick News » Blog Archive » Pull Quotes and the Web One of the benefits of using a pull quote is to draw the attention of the skim reader, as defined here by Jakob Neilsen:People rarely read Web pages word by word; instead, they scan the page, picking out individual words and sentences. Since it is an article on the benefits of pull quotes and not an actual tutorial on how to code them, I think it’s fair that they may not look as intended on every browser. As far as pull quotes, you are spot on in saying that printable should have stylesheets, not lack them. www.mikepick.com /news/archives/2003/07/01/pull-quotes-and-the-web   (1467 words)

The "Pull Leadership" Manifesto : The Leadership Workshop : HBS Working Knowledge Pull leaders believe that success of the organization is their responsibility, no matter what their job titles are. The most powerful values message is sent when the pull leader is clearly taking a risk to stay true to his or her values. This is where we find the fundamental paradox of pull leadership: People most want to follow leaders who don't order them around, but rather give them the freedom and opportunity to be an active part in shaping their own lives. hbswk.hbs.edu /item.jhtml?id=4339&t=srobbins   (1743 words)

Pull partners In the case where another pull replication to the same partner is already queued, WINS sees the subsequent request as further down in the queue and discards it in favor of keeping the one with a higher placement in the service process queue. A pull partner is a WINS server that pulls or requests replication of updated WINS database entries from other WINS servers (those configured to use it as a push partner) at a configured interval. WINS-A responds by pulling entries from WINS-H. WINS-A determines which owner servers to pull from based on the difference between its locally held highest version ID for each owner and the corresponding updated highest version IDs provided by WINS-H. WINS-A specifies the range of records to be pulled and replicated by comparing versions. www.microsoft.com /windows2000/en/advanced/help/sag_WINS_und_PullPartners.htm   (863 words)

Frequently Asked Questions about Canine Weight Pulling Canine weight pulling is a sport in which a single dog, equipped with a specially designed weight pulling/ freighting harness, pulls a load a specified distance within a specified amount of time. If the dog does not pull the load within 45 seconds or is given help to actually move the load (handler grabs harness and pulls and/or sled handlers push the load) it is considered a no-pull.

Product review: Pull-Pal Winch Anchor Off-line pulls, complex pulley systems, and buried tires are just a few examples of the unsavory, time consuming, and dangerous consequences that are caused by inadequate anchors.
