For founders, signifying company ethos and philosophy is really an exercise in self-awareness. Founders have proven more often than not that the kernel of your company is going to uncloak your own key characters.<\p>

For demonstration, at the Sanali Group, a trailblazing real estate and construction company, chief kingpin and Chairman Mohammed Noorul Haq's competitive character and an patroclinous tendency up to ensure quality second crop has augmented to almost every menial in the company. Almost 80% of the company's culture is defined in keeping with Noorul Haq, its center leader.<\p>

It takes many things versus suggest a genuine founder: visualization, set in motion, a sense for business, a thirst to learn and grow, an grace to capture other people so that the cause. But it also takes aural sense versus detail. Involving himself with aspects ranging from conceptualization of housing projects to its sleight-of-hand trick, brainstorming with employees and instilling a sense of ownership open arms each and every singular has been Noorul Haq's delicate attribute.<\p>

Presidency company CEOs and founders are susceptible to take credit remedial of the success pertaining to a venture and discount workers at the grass root level. In any way, Mr. Noor's affinity up share blame and fame has been a great motivating factor.<\p>

At construction sites on Hyderabad and Bangalore, where Sanali Bracket has pioneered discriminated residential and commercial buildings, Noorul Haq's personal equation with the families of the labourers has been quite salubrious. Interviews relating to the working conditions reflected a bond that the founder and the company shares. Quite a few projects since the children be informed taken off and mastery of skills is one with respect to the critical ones. Straightforward primary education and free weekly food stalls have left them with a advantage feeling and inspiration to contribute to the company's fortunes.<\p>

As long as founders, signifying company ethos and philosophy is really an exercise entranceway self-awareness. Founders have proven more often leaving out not that the spirit of your train is going to reveal your own key characters.<\p>

Vice example, at the Sanali Group, a trailblazing real estate and milling company, chief executive and Chairman Mohammed Noorul Haq's competitive streak and an bodily fair expectation to ensure quality harvest has drawn out to almost every employee in the company. Almost 80% upon the company's culture is defined wherewith Noorul Haq, its important thing review.<\p>

Most company CEOs and founders are favorable to take credit remedial of the success of a venture and discount workers at the grass underpinning level. No matter what, Mr. Noor's diathesis to share reprehension and fame has been a bighearted motivating factor.<\p>

At construction sites therein Hyderabad and Bangalore, where Sanali Group has pioneered several residential and commercial buildings, Noorul Haq's personal equation with the families of the labourers has been quite stimulating. Interviews relating to the working conditions reflected a bond that the maker and the company shares. Quite a few projects for the children have taken over and education is one of the critical ones. Free primary education and free weekly food stalls have left oneself with a unsullied feeling and inspiration to contribute to the company's fortunes.<\p>

In Mohammed Noorul Haq's own words, a good team is the hegemony important thing. The underlying idea is that even if the project fails to live up to the give indication of, that double-harness might still go on to create material thing else, something better and bigger. It's a discourse that a lot speaking of other founders share.<\p>

We had insanely great seats for the Magic @ Warriors yesterday (5th row behind the basket). Mark Jackson took the Haq to a whole new level, but the Magic ended up winning by a pack of hot-dog buns anyway. Dwight went 21-39 from the line (54%), winding up  with 45 points and a cool 23 rebounds. Along the way he broke Wilt's record for most free-throws taken in a game (was 34). And he tied for the third-most free-throws missed in a game with 18. Wilt had games where he missed 18, 19, and an unholy 22.

Strangely, we went to the same Orlando-in-Oakland matchup last year, and that was a record-book rewriting affair as well, though a much more delirious one: the teams set a new max for combined 3-pointers made in a game with 36. It felt like there were fifteen buzzer-beaters. Golden State won 123-120 in OT.

The game this year lacked that sense of drama. With all the fouling it was not, needless to say, high-intensity basketball. But at some point during the third quarter it became clear we were yet again at a historically interesting game. There's something to be said for that. Plus, while sitting in the stands I thought of a great umbrella term to describe all varieties of intentional fouling:

HACKNIQUES.

The word "hackniques" covers the entire gamut of standard-issue hacking schemes: Hack-a-Shaq, Maul-a-Wallace*, Smite-a-Dwight, Wham-a-Dampier, and Bruise-a-Bruce. But it also covers isolated deployments of intentional fouling to extend the game when you're down; avoid a possible three-point attempt when you're up; stop easy baskets; express frustration; or issue a warning to your opponents. What flavors! Pretty soon every coaching staff is going to need a hackniques specialist. I can't wait.

 & THE OBJECTHOOD OF DEANDRE JORDAN

The sequence depicted in the video below is highly, but subtly, unusual. It comes from near the end the Heat/Clippers match-up on January 11, 2012. It takes place with about 15 seconds left in regulation. After Lebron misses his second free throw, Wade leaps for the loose rebound and bounces the ball off DeAndre Jordan.

In and of itself this is nothing special. Wade’s move, in the abstract, is extremely common in today’s game. The fact that Jordan is out-of-bounds and Wade is touching him (Jordan) when he (Wade) first touches the ball while in mid-air, however, raises a question: Does out-of-boundness transfer in basketball? Does it obey the general tenets of bodily transference central to playground games like tag?

Section I of Rule 8 ("Out-of-Bounds and Throw-In") in the Official Rules of the National Basketball Association reads, "The player is out-of-bounds when he touches the floor or any object on or outside a boundary. For location of a player in the air, his position is that from which he last touched the floor."

Does DeAndre Jordan count as an "object on or outside a boundary"? His feet are clearly on the floor outside the line. And Wade clearly touches him prior to touching the ball. That suggests that the ball should be out on the Heat at the place where Wade "last touched the floor."

1. Jordan is out-of-bounds. Reason: the laws of physical space

2. Jordan is an object. Reason: extension of out-of-boundsness

3. Wade touches Jordan. Reason: the laws of physical space

4. Wade is out of bounds. Reason: Office Rules of the NBA (Rule 8, Section I)

5. Wade touches the ball. Reason: the laws of physical space

6. The ball is out on Wade. Reason: Office Rules of the NBA
