PROBLEM: The concentration  or number of insulin units in the liquid solution  was labeled as 100 units per milliliter. But they averaged less than half of that  and none met the 95-unit minimum standard  said lead researcher Alan Carter  a pharmacist and adjunct instructor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Pharmacy.
 Carter  thinks the insulin may have gotten too warm somewhere between the factory and the pharmacy  causing some of the molecules to break apart.
 Carter  wondered whether  his  results might help explain why insulin users sometimes find a dose doesn't work as well as normal. Doctors usually attribute that to patient error: not injecting enough insulin before a meal  not following dietary guidelines  or skipping exercise.
 Carter   who had a limited budget for  his  study  acknowledges that it was too small and that  his  results may be flawed. He notified Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly of his results in hopes someone would do a bigger follow-up study.

PROBLEM: Morten T. Hansen is a management professor at University of California  Berkeley. Formerly a professor at Harvard Business School and INSEAD (France)  professor Hansen holds a PhD from Stanford Business School  where he was a Fulbright scholar.  Hansen  was also a manager at the Boston Consulting Group  where  he  advised corporate clients worldwide.  He  is the coauthor (with Jim Collins) of the New York Times bestseller Great by Choice and the author of the books Collaboration and Great at Work. We caught up with  him  to discuss the latter book.

 Morten Hansen : I think it owes  in some part  to ingrained norms  in particular our enduring workplace traditions. Although we live in an age of perpetual âdisruption â so much of how people work today is old  born at the dawn of the industrial revolution. The dreaded performance review  for instance  dates from at least the 1940s and draws intellectually from Frederick Taylorâs work on scientific management during the early 20th century. Ethical codes and other rules of professional conduct originated in the 19th century  when modern professions were first taking shape. Technology is now upending many of these conventions  and many people are pushing beyond âbusiness as usualâ and questioning how work gets done. And yet  change is slow  and much of the traditional edifice of work remains in place.
 Hansen : In Great at Work  I set out four âwork smarterâ practices that relate directly to how well individuals get their own work done. In organizing our efforts  for instance  we can choose to restrict the scope of our work and to obsess to excel over the few priorities weâve selected (a practice I call âDo Less  Then Obsessâ). Of course  that is not easy to do when people constantly ask for help  request meetings  and when your boss keeps on giving you more to do. The best handle this by becoming good at saying âno.â Thatâs a key skill to learn to succeed in todayâs hectic workplace.
 Hansen : When I began the research described in this book  I posed a simple question: Why do some people perform better at work than others? As my study progressed  and the answers to this question came into focus  I noticed an interesting pattern: Many of the top performers my research team and I interviewed  the ones who embraced the seven âwork smarterâ practices outlined in the book  realized benefits that extended well beyond their work performance. They were less stressed out  more balanced  and more satisfied with their job.

SOLUTION: Five Questions With 'Great At Work ' Author Morten Hansen

PROBLEM: Pehr Lodhammar  a senior program manager for the United Nations Mine Action Service   told reporters that the agency and Iraq’s government will have to decide “what we do  and what we leave for now and maybe address later on.”
 He  spoke to reporters in Geneva to detail the complexity of the task of clearing explosives left behind in areas of Iraq that were once controlled by the Islamic State group. Such work is crucial to help displaced Iraqis return to their homes safely.
 Lodhammar  said UNMAS needs another $216 million this year for  its  operations in 32 areas of Iraq  including the northwestern city of Mosul  on top of 116 in commitments and pledges already made.
 He  said UNMAS and other United Nations agencies were hoping for around $45 million to be set aside for safe returns of Iraqis as part of money being pledged at a donor’s conference for Iraq in Kuwait on Wednesday.
 Lodhammar  said  it  would be “of course concerning if we don’t reach the amounts envisaged and hoped for  but I believe that it is an ongoing process. I think more donors will be coming to the table.”
