In all three countries, the preferred packaging material when it comes to biscuits, chocolate, pastries, sweets or cereal is definitely paper or cardboard. However, overall, paper or cardboard as food packaging material is most appreciated in Germany.
We can see a difference between China and the two other countries regarding flour and sugar. In the UK and Germany, consumers by far prefer paper or cardboard, whilst in China, consumers prefer plastic over paper/cardboard. If we instead take a look at ice cream, it's the other way around, in China paper or cardboard is preferred, whereas in the UK and Germany, consumers want their ice cream in plastic.
So why do most consumers overall prefer paper or cardboard over plastic? The answer is easy – because it is recyclable. Another aspect is that it is easy to use and handle.
So what about the barriers for consumers buying food in paper or cardboard? In all three countries, consumers had similar worries: whether the packaging preserves the food well enough, expiration time and overpackaging.
Despite these concerns, consumers in all three countries still prefer paper or cardboard as their top food packaging material and say that in the future they will probably buy more food products with packaging that is made from paper or cardboard.

Hardwood Flooring
Flooring is the hard covering the ground of a house. It covers the walking surface of living spaces and adds comfort and elegance to the house. Imagine a house without flooring and with gravel and sand filling the walking space? Good flooring helps you keep your house interiors neat and clean and avoids water seeping and other plumbing issues from cropping up.
It is essential for every residence to have solid and hard flooring as it protects the house from the ground breaking away as well as gives an impressive look to the interiors. Choosing the right gradient and texture of flooring can make a house appear more rich and luxurious than it actually is.
The most common types of flooring include hard flooring, wooden flooring, laminate flooring, and carpeting. Each type has its own benefits which vary with the costs involved. Wooden flooring are most apt for those who wants to have a natural ambience to their houses while laminate flooring will be more durable, inexpensive and more apt for commercial spaces where there is more treading. As for carpeting they can be used in addition to flooring to add grip to the floor and to add to complete the interior design of the house.
Hardwood flooring is one of the popular types of flooring and is sought after for some of its advantages such as simple and easy to maintain, comes for a greater lifetime lasting for several years and adds elegance to the looks and interior appearance of the home. The hardwood floors comes in a wide range of designs and textures to choose from and offer lot of options to pick a suitable one based on your interior style. Investing in wooden flooring adds more value to your home as woods nowadays are in having a huge demand with its availability becoming scarce making them as costlier commodities.

What is Web Hosting?
When an organisation develops a website, it needs somewhere to store the site so that it is permanently available on the Internet. Web hosting simply means storing your website on a server located with us – we then "host your website".
Why use Web Hosting?
Since a company's website is one of its public faces, it is vital that the website reliably delivers its information quickly every time. We provide hosting based in Australia using vmWare on HP Servers at GlobalSwitch Sydney, a high-availability Data Center connected at the very hub of Australian Digital commerce.
For most small businesses, acquiring and maintaining the infrastructure and staff required to do this reliably on a 24 x 7 basis is far too expensive, time consuming, and difficult. As such, most businesses choose to host their website with a company that specialises in web hosting and cloud services … like Multiline
What hardware do we use to host your website?
Where would my website be hosted?
Ok, I'd like to bring my website and email over can you assist?
Hosting Pricing
Pricing includes GST. Web Hosting Packages can normally be setup same day.

Grief Counseling
Axia College of University of Phoenix
Grief is defined as a type of emotional or mental suffering from a loss, sorrow, or regret (Dictionary.com, LLC, 2010). Grief affects people of all ages, races, and sexes around the world. Approximately, 36% of the world's population does or has suffered from grief and only a mere 10% of these people will seek out help (Theravive, 2009). Once a person is suffering from grief it is important to receive treatment. All too often, people ignore grief resulting in deep depression, substance abuse, and other disorders (Theravive, 2009). Grief counseling is very common and can be very helpful to a person in need of assistance. Grief counseling provides the support, understanding, and encouragement to understand, accept, and deal with the feelings of grief caused by unexpected losses, sorrows, or regrets.
The organization I am going to create will be a non-profit counseling center. This counseling center will be focusing on grief diagnosis and treatment. This treatment center will offer its services to both children and adults. It will offer out-patient counseling sessions as well as inpatient treatment referrals. Qualifying patients will be referred via their family doctors or the employee assistance program (EAP). They will be offered two to three counseling sessions at no cost to them. The first session will be an introductory session. At this session the counselor will talk to the patient and receive all information important to the treatment of the issues causing the patient's grief. After all the information is gathered the counselor will make an estimate of the amount of time the person will need to be in treatment. At the second session the counselor will discuss with the client the best treatment plan suited to their needs.
Once the clients have been evaluated a treatment program must be put into place. For those suffering from severe grief inpatient services may be required. If this is the case, the counselor will meet with the client and discuss inpatient treatment. Clients that are admitted to inpatient therapy will willingly enter the program and may sign themselves out at anytime.
The impatient program would require the patient to stay a minimum of one week to attend intensive therapy sessions. After their inpatient stay it will be recommended that the patient continue therapy once weekly in the outpatient program.
The outpatient program will be for clients that need counseling once weekly or even once monthly depending on their mental health state. The clients will attend regular sessions with the same therapist having the same therapist allows for a comfort level to develop as well as trust between the client and the therapist. At these sessions the therapist will work with the client to alleviate the symptoms of grief. This is important because for some people it is easier to express how they are feeling to a complete stranger and show their emotions rather than to somebody who knows them very well.
The grief counseling center will also offer group therapy sessions to those who find comfort in sharing experiences with those who are going through the same feelings. These therapy sessions will be help twice weekly in the evenings for two hours. The group therapy session will be monitored by a grief counselor. Group therapy can be extremely helpful to certain individuals because it opens the door of awareness meaning that they are given the ability to see first-hand that are people are currently going through the same type of situation as they are or have previously been through something similar and can ask questions about their coping methods and how to progress forward with life after the loss.
The organization's mission statement will be; creating better futures in the lives of those suffering from grief by giving them the support, understanding, and treatment needed to regain happiness in their lives. The mission statement is created...

SEVENDUST has finished recording its tenth studio album for a tentative July release. The CD was once again recorded at Architekt Music studios in Butler, New Jersey.
In a recent interview with Loudwire, SEVENDUST guitarist John Connolly stated about the band's new material: "It's funny, you come out of acoustic world and immediately you're, like, 'All right, let's get metal again. Let's get heavy.'"
He continued: "There's a lot of heavy on this one, but there's also a lot of melody. There's a lot of spillover from where our headspace was at on an acoustic perspective, which is great.
"I love being as heavy as we can be but Lajon [Witherspoon], he's a melodic singer, and I think he's going to be excited about a lot of stuff. As heavy as we're trying to be, there's still a ton of melody on it.
"I know Clint [Lowery, guitar] is busy writing a ton of demos and everyone is trying to get back into that headspace."
Connolly added: "We've had such a good time during the last two records, collaborating together as a five-piece which is something we haven't done since the first album. All we had was a rehearsal room, each other, paying the rent and a few shows. Someone would come up with a riff or a demo and bring it in and we'd really hammer it out as a band. We had so much fun on 'Black Out the Sun' and 'Time Travelers & Bonfires', really, just being in each other's face instead of wondering is this going to work or is that going to work?
"Having five cooks in the kitchen at all times, most times, with most bands can be counterproductive, but for us, it just works so much better for us; we're so much more efficient. We're much happier without the guesswork. You play a riff, then Vinny [Hornsby, bass] starts playing, then Clint comes in, and questions get answered, and then you move on to the next thing.
"It's the stuff that we create together that's usually the stuff that gets us the most excited."
SEVENDUST's latest acoustic album, "Time Travelers & Bonfires", sold around 15,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 19 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD was made available on April 15, 2014 via 7Bros. Records, in conjunction with ADA Label Services.

One of the most common physical ailments is unfortunately the much dreaded horror of back pain. While the likes of minor headaches or a stiff neck can usually be powered through well enough, there's something about pain shooting through your back that's woefully incapacitating. If you're tired of feeling as if you can barely find a comfortable position to sit, stand, or even lay down in because of your ongoing experience with this issue, it's time to start making some important changes. With that in mind, here are 5 of the simplest natural ways to reduce back pain.
Work On Your Posture
First and foremost, you probably need to address your posture. If you use a computer often or are a student, you're probably lurched over in your chair more often than not as you learn in to focus on what you're working on. Poor posture of this kind and a bad back go hand in hand. When sitting and standing alike, make sure you always keep your back as straight as you can. If you have to purchase posture correcting cushioning or even a back brace, so be it!
You should also start stretching each morning. Start by making sure to raise your arms above your head also tilting your torso to either side. Any stretch that involves leaning over with your legs straight can also work a lot of magic for the lower back. To play it safe, work with a personal trainer at your local gym to find which stretches are best for your body type and fitness level.
Take Calcium & Other Supplements
You should also be taking plenty of vitamins and supplements such as Calcium. Many forms of over the counter Vitamin D are combined with Calcium already. Making sure to use all of these regular can mitigate a wealth of health problems, chronic pain included.
Take A Hot Shower
Taking a hot shower works to relax your muscles. Allowing the stream to cascade over any area of your back that's nagging and StaminaPro Active Recovery Patches can provide instant relief in a lot of cases. It's only a temporary fix of course, but at least it will help you get through the day!
See A Massage Therapist
You should also consider seeing a massage therapist to help ease the tension in your muscles and joints. A lot of daily stress tends to manifest itself deep within our backs and along the spine. It may take some getting used to, but even semi-regular trips to a masseuse can be truly life altering.
If you're not finding any success even after using some of the more reliable natural ways to reduce back pain, you should consider seeing a doctor about the issue. They can order a physical for you and investigate the issue further. No matter which route you take however, just be sure to avoid resting on your laurels. These sort of issues rarely just "go away" and work themselves out; if you want to feel better, being proactive about it is the only way to go!

What is The "67 Steps" Program? The last couple of months I've stumbled upon something I've never come across before on the internet.

By balancing your health, your wealth and your social life you'll reach a state of eudaimonia.
With all due respect, Professor Boyd, your argument is not at all compelling. It seems that you are taking the "thinking outside the box" (TOTB) metaphor much more literally than it is intended.

Can we have an option to create and send a pdf of the invoice
We are getting requests from event attendees for a pdf or a hardcopy of the invoice as organisations won't accept an email as an official invoice
thanks derek

Carol commented
Coming up on 10 years for this request (derek shared this idea December 2, 2010). Hoping it's on the list of repairs soon.
Thank you!
Jo Buckley commented
With an ever increasing focus on security we need the ability to auto send an invoice as a secured PDF file attachment rather being in the body of an email where it could be manipulated. Having invoiced for membership fees etc an increasing number of accounts dept will not process the invoice in the current format, delaying our payments and asking for the invoice to be re-issued in PDF format to satisfy their accounting processes
Todd Stearns commented
Your system sends membership renewal reminder, which is great. Why not include a PDF document of that invoice automatically? Then it saves us from having to manually go in and generate one. Much easier.
Todd Stearns commented
Hi. Occasionally, we have to generate invoices for members not on auto-pay. Wild Apricot's process for doing so is clunky and should be streamlined. I should be able to generate the invoice and have the option to save it as a PDF file right from the invoice menu. I should also be able to have the ability to e-mail it directly (which IS there) to a DIFFERENT e-mail than what is saved in the member details because many organizations prefer to have invoices sent to their accounting departments.
Rosemary Hancock commented
Would be good if members could download a a PDF of their invoice - in the same format as we have set in the templates
Sonia Harvey commented
YES PLEASE!!!!!!! This would be so helpful as I have corporate members who need this option. Very time consuming for us to provide ourselves when consistently requested.
This is the one hurdle we are facing. Our members often need to print out or store properly formatted invoices for compliance issues and not being able to send a PDF invoice is incredible frustrating.
Please make this happen WA!
Michelle Martin commented
I am having an issue. Some of our clients need to be able to print a professional invoice that can then be given to their accounting department and printing the email does not suffice. Is there any way that a PDF can be attached when someone selects "invoice me" or when we are sending out manual invoices etc.
Theoretically, this module should be saving us time but now it is costing us time because we are having to login and find/print/PDF/send the invoice.
Your consideration is greatly appreciated.
We have issues with a number corporate members whose policies require a PDF version fitting the page neatly so it appears as a legitimate invoice. At the moment we have to produce and email them manually.
RWTA Admin commented
This issue is making us look unprofessional. We have resorted to including notes on our invoices on how to print a pdf from the browser. Needs to be fixed asap.
one more thing - this might be a deal breaker for us.... will it be for anyone else, if so, it might push this to the top of the list.
I am desperate (or my members are) to have this feature
Sally Bunce commented
Please, please, please make invoices .pdf. So many of our members use purchasing systems that all require pdf's. Come on Wild Apricot - you're a bit behind the times here!
Also, the 'View online" option is hopeless as the tax number drops off and not all the information is displayed.
Barry Walker commented
This feature is really needed quickly, The Canadian Revenue Agency will not accept email receipts as proof of charitable donations from my donors.
This facility would be extremely useful as it is a requirement of many of the organisations we work with.
This is one of the hottest topics for us, and we will try to fix this later this year. But no promises yet - we are prettey busy with othere features coming.
Oleg, Product owner @ Payments team
Ruth Thompson commented
Dear Wild Apricot Support,
Can you please introduce an option where invoices be converted to a PDF and added as an attachment to the emails that are dispatched automatically regarding invoices?
Some of our clients have advised that an embedded invoice into an email is not good enough to pay on.
This is required by our biggest payer, our state government. As a consequence, our admin has to double handle over 1000 invoices.... Wordpress has this worked out quite nicely. This was promised last year.
This is really urgent for us.
No updates by this moment.
The only thing I can suggest as a workaround is using Word Mail Merge feature, based on invoice export, but it has some limitations (e.g. line-items not available in export).
Oleg from Payments team
Denise Deonarine commented
Dear Support, can you please introduce an option where invoices be converted to a PDF and added as an attachment to the emails that are dispatched automatically regarding invoices?
Some of our clients have advised that an embedded invoice into an email would not suffice as a valid support.
As a result, we export the invoices from Wild Apricot to Word, format them and then covert to a PDF document. However, this is time consuming. Thanks!!!!
A. Wesley Jones commented
Any update on this? We are having a huge issue with this for two reasons: 1) Many government organizations will not accept web printed invoices; and 2) Most of the time people are not print the entire invoice - everything won't appear on one sheet of paper.
Basically our board is discussing changing membership software because it's becoming such a hassle. We are having to create invoices in Word for people, which is wasting a lot of time and the whole point of using this system.

Hear the full Transformers: Devastation Soundtrack on YouTube
If you've been enjoying Transformers: Devastation, no doubt you've been digging the great music that is part of the game. Now you can listen to the entire score on YouTube.
The soundtrack vid has been on YouTube since October, but the link was recently shared on Vince DiCola's Facebook page. The video accompanying the score is a nice slideshow featuring in-game images and concept art.
Vince DiCola is of course no stranger to Transformers fans, having contributed a large portion to the soundtrack of our collective youth in the form of the score for Transformers: The Movie in 1986. While the modern movies have featured music by Steve Jablonsky, Vince continues to keep our earbuds rocking with the music from Transformers: Devastation.

Samsung's Galaxy Note 9 is stopgap ahead of major revamp, say analysts
Samsung's new Galaxy Note 9 had incremental improvements, but fans may wait for next model
Samsung has released its new Galaxy Note 9 smartphone at a gala event in the US, and the phone is available on pre-order for the UAE now.
The new handset features a range of new high end enhancements, but analyst opinion is divided over whether the new phone will satisfy customers ahead of more extensive updates expected for next year, or whether it will prove to be too expensive to gain much attention from users.
The Galaxy Note 9 is aimed at power users who want a large screen, and the new phone has a slightly larger 6.4" display. Other enhancements include water-carbon cooling system; Bluetooth-enabled S Pen that doubles as a shutter trigger; up to 512GB onboard storage and camera AI functions.
The phone also has a much larger 4000mAhr battery to give longer operating times.
Another likely selling point is an exclusive to be the first Android device to offer Fortnite, after a tie-up between Samsung and Epic Games.
IHS Markit Principal Analyst Wayne Lam commented: "Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 represents an evolution in design. While the BLE S Pen gives the flagship device more functionality and core electronic updates improved memory and storage, the Note 9 isn't all that different from last year's Note 8. Much like the path that Apple has taken with incremental design updates with the iPhone 7 Plus one year before the release of the iPhone X, it is believed that Samsung is planning for a more aggressive design update next year. Thus, the Note 9 serves primarily to keep the Note customer base happy until the anticipated design changes expected in 2019 along with new technologies like foldable displays."
Avi Greengart, Research Director for Consumer Platforms and Devices at GlobalData, said that the new battery should put the Note7 exploding battery issue to rest and shows Samsung is addressing user issues.
"The Note9's 4,000 mAh battery directly addresses a key consumer pain point - consumers buying a premium phone want to be able to use it all day long. However, the Note9's improvements are iterative, and as consumers hold onto their phones longer, Samsung is having a hard time selling expensive phones that are not well differentiated from their predecessors. While some carriers are offering generous promotions at launch, the Note9 is certainly expensive, starting at $999 for the 128GB version," Greengart said.

Change Management Essay, Research Paper
What a manager does and how it is done can be categorised by Henri Fayol s four functions of management: Planning, Organising, Leading and Controlling. Through these functions managers can be catalysts for change or by definition change agents People who act as catalysts and manage the change process. (Robbins, Bergman, Stagg and Coulter, 2000, p.438) Wether performing the role of the change agent or not, change is an integral part of a manager s job. Change is An alteration in people, structure or technology. (Robbins et al., 2000, p.437) Change occurs within and around organisations today at an unprecedented speed and complexity. Change poses threats and creates opportunities. The fact that change creates opportunities is reason why managers need to encourage change.
What a manager can change falls distinctively into the three categories stated in the definition of change: people, structure and technology. The manager can make alterations in these areas in an attempt to adapt to or facilitate change. The change of people involves changing attitudes, expectations, perceptions and behaviour. These changes ar used to help people within organisations to work together more effectively. Changing structure relates to job design, job specialisation, hierarchy, formalisation and all other organisational structural variables. These changes are ones that need to be flexible and not static to be adaptable to change. Technological change entails modification of work processes and methods and the introduction of new equipment. Changes in this area have been enormous especially in the areas of computing and communications.
An organisation s environment has both specific and general components, or micro and macro environments. The organisation also has its own personality or culture. This environment and culture can be the generator of forces for change. Needs from within the organisation can stimulate change, these are internal forces for change. Of course, the distinction between external and internal forces is blurred because an internally induced change may be prompted by the perception of an external event. (Barney & Griffin, 1992, p.755) Today s organisations are characterised by frequent disruptions to its environment. New strategy, new technology and change in employee mix or attitudes are all internal factors that can create force for change.
The introduction of new equipment or technology can create the need for change within the workplace. The staff will need to learn how to use the new equipment and it may affect the duties required of them. Their jobs may have to be redesigned. New company strategies, which may involve the change in management practices, enterprise agreements and industrial relations, will create a vast variety of needs for change. So will the attitudes of the workers. In fact employee attitudes can create the need for new company strategies in the case of job dissatisfaction, poor team spirit, lack of commitment and job insecurity.
External forces affecting an organisation demand change by creating threats and opportunities. The organisation it compelled to respond to these threats and opportunities. These external forces are apparent in many of the segments of the organisations external environment. These include political-legal, technological, economic, marketplace and sociocultural dimensions.
The political-legal environment is that which consists of government bodies, pressure groups and laws. It is pertinent for companies to keep abreast of and change in political environment because these changes can have dramatic effect. Change in political environment can see legislation introduced that will not make selling or providing a product feasible or somewhat difficult. There are many political factors and laws that can affect business. Pricing, competition, fair trade packaging, labelling, advertising, product safety and minimum wages can all affect business. The marketplace is a major contributor to forces for change. These forces are created by changes in customer buying needs, expectations and buying habits. The lifting of import tariffs or market deregulation are other factors. The technical environment is created by developments of new products or processes that affect an organisations opportunities and operations. These advancements in technology purvey benefits and impel organisations to change.
The first factor to consider for motivating change deals with whether the organisation is facing some obvious need for change, such as increasing competition; pressure on prices; changing customer needs / expectations; advances in technology; reductions in external funding; or regulatory changes. The actual change does not occur until the force for change exceeds that of the force resisting the change. People who may not necessarily lose from the change still contribute to the force resisting change. People inherently resist change because change causes uncertainty and ambiguity. Through good management these uncertainties and ambiguities will be removed and the resistance to change will not be as great.
Planning is A process that involves defining the organisation s objectives or goals, establishing an overall strategy for achieving those goals, and developing a comprehensive hierarchy of plans to integrate and coordinate activities. (Robbins et al., 2000, p.247) One of the reasons for planning is to reduce the impact of change. It does this by creating an environment that is accepting of change and by predicting change. Planning reduces uncertainty by forcing managers to look ahead, anticipate change, consider the impact of change and develop appropriate responses. (Robbins et al., 2000, p.247) No amount of planning or anticipation can get rid of change all together. Planning cannot eliminate change. Changes will happen regardless of what management does. (Robbins et al., 2000, p.437) Planning just enables us to best cope with and manage change.
Change can be modelled by two different metaphors: calm-waters and white-water rapids. The calm waters model involves unfreezing changing and refreezing, this is also the some as Lewin s model of change. We have seen that planning is a tool that can be used to predict change. In this environment of predicability the calm waters metaphor is an apt model. The organisation is in a stable environment and can anticipate change so it goes through a process of unfreezing, changes implemented to overcome differences and meet new goals, and refreezing to keep changes in effect and return to stable environment. Total quality management uses this model. Total quality management is essentially a continuous, incremental change program. It is compatible with the calm waters metaphor (Robbins et al., 2000, p.454) Total quality management continually seeks out problems and implements changes as they strive to ever improve their organisation s efficiency and effectiveness.
Plans are difficult to develop for a dynamic environment. this calm waters metaphor has become increasingly obsolete as a way of describing the kind of seas that managers in today s organisations have to navigate. (Robbins et al., 2000, p.441) This calm waters metaphor is not very helpful to people faced with the detailed task of bringing change about. (Barney & Griffin, 1992, p.757) Today the white water-rapids metaphor is more prevalent in organisations. It is a more comprehensive model. The white water-rapids metaphor depicts change as an ever-present perpetual event. An organisation in white-water rapids is in an uncertain dynamic environment. Disruptions to the status quo may never stop. Managers in this chaotic world need to respond quickly to every changing condition.
Organising is defined as The process of creating an organisation s structure. (Robbins et al., 2000, p.351) By comparing the definition of organising to the definition of change we can come to the conclusion that organising, a function of management, can be a major contributor to the change of an organisation through change in structure. Changing technology may be a contributor to an environment full of uncertainty, although this technology has enabled managers to organise for much greater efficiency and effectiveness.
Work specialisation is necessary as jobs become more complex and it also increases efficiency. Although job specialisation does not create an environment that is capable of accepting change. Managers could adopt a structure of multi-skilling. This multi-skilling approach will provide the organisation with an adaptable workforce.
Decentralisation is The handing down of decision-making authority to lower levels in an organisation (Robbins et al., 2000, p.359) Decentralisation is prevalent in organisations that exist in complex uncertain environments. An increase in decentralisation would create an organisation capable of making faster decisions. This faster decision making ability is far more capable of reacting to change. This ability to react quickly to change is hence conducive to change.
An organisation that is well structured for change is one that is organic. An organic organisation has the structural characteristics mentioned above and others like wide span of control, cross-functional teams, free flow of information and low formalisation. Organic organisations have organisational structure that is highly adaptive and flexible with little work specialisation, minimal formalisation and little direct supervision of employees. (Robbins et al., 2000, p.362) Organic structures incorporate the use of teams. Teams use a much flatter design of management.
The learning organisation is the best-structured organisation for change. This is quite apparent in the definition An organisation that has developed the continuous capacity to adapt and change because all members take an active role in identifying and resolving work related issues. (Robbins et al., 2000, p.376) To achieve this the organisation has a structure that is boundaryless.
Leadership is the ability to influence a group towards the achievement of goals. (Robbins et al., 2000, p.593) Transformational leaders are the style or type of leader best suited to change. They are a style of leaders that entail certain qualities that are conducive to change. These are individualised consideration, intellectual stimulation and charisma. (Robbins et al., 2000, p.617) Leadership is crucial to facilitate the vision required for an organisation to become a learning organisation. Leadership can be used to reduce the resistance to change by altering people s attitudes, expectations, perceptions and behaviour through motivation, communication, participation, facilitation, negotiation manipulation and coercion.
Control is The process of monitoring activities to ensure they are being accomplished as planned, and of correcting any significant deviations. (Robbins et al., 2000, p.683) The control of the organisation needs to flexible enough to absorb and deal with change. Managers need to move away from bureaucratic style of control to encourage change. Bureaucratic organisations strain the use of rules, regulations, procedures, policies and hierarchal authority. For an improved environment for change organisations should use clan or market approach to control.
How do we put the functions of management and the possible changes of organisations into a process of change? Managers can use the process of reengineering. A radical redesign of all or part of a company s work processes to improve productivity and financial performance. (Robbins et al., 2000, p.64) Rather than creating an environment for change this method just goes right on in and changes it. Reengineering is extremely stressful on the organisation. Yet, for all the enormously stressful uncertainty placed on employees, the payoffs from reengineering can be powerful. (Robbins et al., 2000, p.717) An organisation that has gone through the reengineering process has experienced and adapted to change and therefore are better experienced to accept and embrace change in the future.
The environment and that we create through change and trying to encourage change is one that is conducive to stimulating innovation. We need to have flexible structures, good communication, and culture that is relaxed and supportive of new ideas. An organisation s culture can be a prevailing force for innovation or seriously threaten the innovative endeavour. Crucial to the implementation of cultural change is management s ability to use leadership and provide a shared vision of the future. In a chaotic, dynamic world of change we must be able to come up with new ideas and inventions in order to compete in the global market. Those who are good innovators are the ones who can gain competitive advantages.
Change and survival are synonymous. Survival demands change. Managers must be intuitive and read the current and changing situation surrounding them and make the best decision to coordinate work and apply resources. We have discussed what change is, how we depict it and what forces or creates change. Change implemented correctly can unleash employee creativity and potential, reduce bureaucracy and costs, and provide ongoing improvement for an organisation. Given these benefits it would seem a good idea to encourage change.

As the projected severity of the winter storm in the Northeast increases, most domestic airlines in the US have either cancelled flights, or issued waivers for travel over the next few days.
A bit of snow (much less a blizzard) can cause systemwide disruptions, so if you're scheduled to travel in the coming days you'll want to take precautions.
Delays are starting to pile up, and many airlines have preemptively canceled flights for tomorrow. At the time of this writing there are over 3,000 canceled flights, and many delayed flights between today and tomorrow. A few examples of pre-emptive cancelations for Tuesday:
- Southwest has canceled 884 flights
- JetBlue has canceled 616 flights
- American has canceled 600 flights
- United has canceled 459 flights
Delta, thus far, has only canceled 44 mainline flights, which seems brave. We'll see how that goes.
In general, the airlines are going to accommodate you if you're able or willing to move your plans around — after all, they don't benefit from having cranky passengers stuck in the terminal either. There are nuances to each policy though, so you can see the individual policies on the airline sites:
Ultimately though, if you're flying to or through the Northeast today or tomorrow you want to stay on top of the situation, and get in touch with your airline ASAP.
Tips for rebooking
Regardless of the reason for flight cancelations, phone queues can get ugly fast. Given that many people need to rebook at the same time, you might be able to get new plans confirmed more quickly by using an alternate method.

If you're already at the airport, start with the lounge agents. They tend to have fewer passengers to deal with than the gate agents, and thus may have more time (and more patience), when it comes to rebooking your flight.
Reach out on social media
I've had good luck changing flights by sending direct messages to American via Twitter. Several other airlines have a Twitter presence as well, and while they might not be able to fix your reservation, it's worth trying:
- @AirCanada
- @AlaskaAir
- @Allegiant
- @AmericanAir
- @Delta
- @FlyFrontier
- @JetBlue
- @SouthwestAir
- @SpiritAirlines
- @United
- @VirginAmerica
- @WestJet
Avoid the domestic call centers
If you're willing to spend a few dollars on Skype or Google Voice credit, calling the international call center for an airline can often save you an hour or more of hold time.
Almost all of these call centers have an English-speaking option, but you can also call Australia, where I understand the weather is nice today, or even just Canadian numbers can get you through faster.
- Air Canada international reservations
- American Airlines international reservations
- Delta Air Lines international reservations
- JetBlue international reservations
- United international reservations
- Virgin America international reservations
¿Hablas Español?
If you have a rudimentary understanding of Spanish (like, just enough to get through the computer system), you can try the Spanish-speaking numbers. Again, fewer people calling means shorter hold times, and the agents typically speak English as well.
- American Airlines Spanish line: 1-800-633-3711
- Southwest Spanish line: 1-800-VAMONOS
- United Airlines Spanish line: 1-800-426-5561
Be your own advocate
This is maybe more a life philosophy than one specific to travel disruptions, but it holds true — no one cares about you (or your travel) as much as you do.
So be nice, but ask questions, present alternatives, be prepared to book your own hotel rather than waiting in line with a hundred other people for a voucher, and so forth.
If you stand around and wait, you will almost certainly have a worse time than those who are actively finding solutions to the situation.
Check your credit card coverage
If you purchased your tickets with a credit card, you may have some additional protection and benefits when your flight is delayed. Check with your credit card company, or see our list of popular travel cards with good delay coverage.
These cards will often cover your hotel, or the cost of a new flight, and so forth, so it's good to know both the benefits and the requirements to file a claim.
Bottom line
As I said last time we had a major storm, you want to be as proactive as possible in these situations. Pay attention to your flight, along with the status of your inbound aircraft, and be prepared to react quickly and creatively.
If you have plans to travel, I'd suggest rebooking now, as it looks like cancelations are only going to increase. Keep in mind that even if you aren't traveling in, to, or through the Northeast corridor, your aircraft might be, so you could still be impacted by this storm.
This isn't a situation you can control, but you can lessen the impact on your life. The best thing to do is pay attention, and be as proactive as you can.
Anyone else flying tomorrow? What's your plan?

As I inch closer to my mid 30's I grow wiser.
Wiser NOT wise. Wiser.
Countless women who have gone before me have given me their words of wisdom. Your 30's are better than your 20's they say, you grow in ways you didn't know you could. Even more women have said to me that their 40's are some of their best years yet. You are finally comfortable with who you are and what your place is in this world, you mellow they say. Much like the mom who told me in the last weeks of being pregnant with Chloe – go see a movie, every single night, together, you won't see one for a year or more after she is born – was right – so too were these women about my 30's. With each passing month, I learn, I grow, I leave pieces of me behind. I strengthen those that I choose to keep and I work with those that stubbornly are stuck to the puzzle piece next to them.
The older, and wisER me has tried to make a habit of reacting less. When there are many words I want to say, I remind myself that often the last word is NO word at all.
Yet in saying this there are times that words are needed. Like the I'm sorry's I've recently said to two women I got in to a tiff with on twitter what feels like years ago OR the sorry I said this week when I apologized to a possible client for dropping the ball on coaching her. Sometimes it's not about last words or being right or wrong, or even determining how you got to the point where you need to say sorry – it's about being at peace in life. I believe words are a valuable tool to find peace.
My parents always told me actions speak louder than words and in many ways I find this to be one of the clearest truths I know about life. In other ways I know that words speak very, very loud.
I've been writing Mile Posts since 2009. I hope that over these years that if you have stuck around it is apparent that I have grown as a writer, a person, a mother, a friend, a citizen. There are words I've written that I wish I could take back and there are words I have written that I will forever be grateful to my past self for writing.
Over the years I've dealt with a lot of criticism. For the most part I would say that it's been worth it. Sometimes the words that are aimed at hurting us most, actually fuel us to become better people.
In other ways I can credit some of my speed from years past to a deep anger I had inside. I could pull from that in races. I'll never forget running during Hood To Coast with a friend by my side for safety. Get angry Dorothy. Get angry. I knew what he meant. I could run fast when angry, I just needed to channel the rage.
These days I'm not angry. Quite the opposite, I'm more at peace than ever with who I am and where I am at in life. I recently had blood work done by InsideTracker and was elated that my cortisol had dropped significantly since my last test in February {from 14 to 6.1}. I literally work on being calm, reducing stress, letting go of anger, and forgiving myself and others every day of my life.
Yesterday Women's Running Magazine shared an article I wrote in early 2015 about my running year in 2014, arguable the hardest year of my personal life. Yet even though I wrote those words when I was not in the best of places, I stand by everything I wrote. I love those words. The words in THIS article are words of a girl who was in the process of growing. A girl who had finally realized, man it really isn't about the time on the clock, I don't have to prove anything to anyone.
I wrote that I was slowER. Not slow, slowER.
The comments on their Facebook page reminded me why I closed comments on my blog awhile back {I have since opened them again}.
Instead of reading the article and READING my words, people read what they wanted to read based on their own feelings about themselves.
They were angry that I said I was SLOW.
Only I didn't say I was slow.
- Slower
- Slowed
- Slowing
- Slow down
- Slow down
- Slower
- Slow down
These are words to describe my running, not a universal pace.
In the article I was making the point that no matter what pace we run, we all run the same race, we are all runners. Further I wanted to say that I believe from the bottom of my heart that pace doesn't determine how much you love running. I 100 percent believe that I am just as much of a runner as Shalane even though she is a world class athlete heading to the Olympics and I can't run one single mile at the pace she can run 26.2 of them.
- At the end of the day, a run is a run. While sometimes people like to argue this point, that fact remains true. The person who finishes first still ran the same race as the person who finishes last.
- The time on the clock does not determine your level of dedication or love for the sport.
After I ran a 3:13 at Marine Corps Marathon one of the first emails that popped up was a comment telling me how I had choked, I was slow. I later got comments about how not only was I slow but I was fat. Comments like these were part of the reason I closed comments down.
I was on top of the world with a 3:13 marathon. A 3:13 is not world class but it's NOT SLOW, but what if it had been a 4:13 or a 5:13?! Why does it matter? I ran a marathon.
I use analytics on my blog. For a period of time the top searches landing people on my blog were all weight related. Did Mile Posts get fat?
Do you know what this feels like? To be constantly judged?
I'm fat.
I'm too thin.
She isn't slow she needs to get over herself.
She isn't fast she needs to get over herself.
Everyone loves an underdog. Maybe that's why when I was struggling most I had so many people rooting for me.
She used to be inspirational but not any more.
In the eyes of many, I'm not an underdog anymore…..I have everything….
I caution you when you make this judgement about me or anyone else…..
I struggle, everyone struggles. I STRUGGLE did you read that? I struggle with self-esteem, self-worth, self loathing, depression, OCD, and generally feeling like a failure. I don't tell you this so you feel sorry for me, I don't want anyone's pity. What I want is for all of us to treat each other with respect and love. I want us to stop judging each other on pace, our bodies, on what we have and don't have.
After I wrote the #IHaveARunnersBody post, I saw comments about how I was thin and so basically what business did I have to talk about embracing our bodies.
That's funny.
I may not be fat to you but I'm fat to someone else. I may not be fast but I am fast to someone else. I may not be slow but I am slow to someone else. I may not be thin but I am thin to someone else.
Do you see how ridiculous it is to judge others? Everything is relative.
I'm not slow but I am slowER AND I'm damn proud of who I am – I've fought like hell to become her. #morelovinglessjudging

text: Due to strict visa application rules to migrate to, or Visit UK, UK's major tourism body reveals that the country is losing billions of pounds in tourism revenue, Pertaining to ease in visa rules might generate additional 2.8bn (currency missing). International tourism is considered to be third largest foreign income generator after chemicals and financial services in Britain, the UK bodies confirmed. Every year the foreign tourism, brings about (currency missing) to UK economy but tougher visa rules loose huge number of migrants to choose other countries to navigate. Majority of these foreign tourist travels from India and China. However, the foreign tourist found it too difficult to apply under this expensive and intrusive visa system. Apart from the complicated visa rules, the prospective applicants need to provide appropriate answers on their income, expenditure, stance on terrorism and even give fingerprints. According to the survey, European countries like France welcome eight times more visitors than UK, while Germany receives six times more visitors. This is because these countries have easier immigration rules and offer a single visa called Schengen Visa to migrants to make multiple visit within the Schengen agreement. Schengen countries that come under the agreement include Austria, Denmark, Belgium, France, Finland, Germany and Greece. Considering the existing loss, Prime Minister David Cameron urged UK tourism bodies to draw more visitors to Britain as well promises to improve the visa rules to increase the number of foreign applications. Wish to migrate to UK. Here's a wonderful opportunity to the migrants. Take Opulentus help to check the eligibility and start your UK processing NOW!!!

Environmental Commission stalls on CodeNEXT 2.0
CodeNEXT once again took center stage at a meeting of the Environmental Commission earlier this month, when commissioners refrained from recommending the second draft of the Land Development Code rewrite, with a hope that they would have comments prepared just after the Halloween deadline, at the beginning of November.
Jerry Rusthoven, the assistant director of the Planning and Zoning Department, and Matt Hollon, the environmental conservation program manager of the Watershed Protection Department, presented the second draft of the rewrite to the Environmental Commission for feedback on Oct. 4. The third draft is expected to be completed on Nov. 28.
Although the commissioners were wary of this timeline uncompromisingly pushing ahead, Commissioner Pam Thompson viewed the overall presentation on a high note saying, "It's moving quickly and changing a lot. I think you are paying attention, it's just scary for most people."
In an attempt to alleviate the fears associated with CodeNEXT, the commission passed a resolution on May 17 encouraging the Planning and Zoning Department to increase its outreach to underprivileged demographics and people who speak languages other than English. However, commission Chair Marisa Perales said, "I'm still concerned about the community outreach."
Nearly every commissioner echoed her anxiety about adequate community outreach and the speed at which these drafts are moving to City Council.
Bobby Levinski, an attorney representing the Save Our Springs Alliance, addressed the commission saying, "If you feel rushed, I encourage this body to reach out to City Council because they are driving this timeline."
According to Rusthoven, the Planning and Zoning Department has been taking feedback into account.
In the latest draft, the new method of zoning under CodeNEXT makes it much easier to compare the impervious cover allowances across zones, which enables a focus on the resulting water quality and flood controls that would need to be implemented. Hollon explained, "One of the backbones of our proposal is flood management."
To mitigate the effects of current impervious cover and prevent a future oversaturation, entitlements are going down slightly and open space percentages are being increased across the city.
Core city regulations like the 2013 Watershed Protection Ordinance and SOS will not be changed.
As a result of this focus and comments from stakeholders, Hollon said they are proposing that rainwater storage facilities are not counted toward impervious cover limits. "I think we're going to see a real change in how people see impervious cover as a way to harvest rainwater," he said. Under CodeNEXT, "We really think that this is the way you need to do business, not just some alternative possibility."
Another key change is the new designation of "keystone trees," which are currently classified as trees with a diameter of eight to 18 inches. This is a classification under "heritage trees," which have a diameter of 24 inches or larger.
"Currently our language, to say the least, is confusing. Some say it's contradictory to tree regulations," said city arborist Keith Mars. Therefore, to simplify the code and incentivize preservation instead of replacement of these trees that do not currently qualify for the heritage tree protections, CodeNEXT offers these trees a special designation in both commercial and residential zones.
All these strides toward simplification, however, result from a reduction in words. "We have reduced words without removing content," explained Mars.
This pruning of the language did not go unnoticed. Both commissioners Peggy Maceo and Linda Guerrero expressed concerns about a lack of "red line formatting" to better track changes. "You put in green what you've added but we don't know what's being left out," said Maceo. "I just don't understand why that (red lining) can't happen."
Tracking of content removal has "proven to be very difficult if not impossible," according to Rusthoven.
Due to the speed at which the drafts are being asked to move forward and the resulting lack of stakeholder input, Perales concluded, "I think it's obvious that we don't have enough information tonight and we're not going to make a recommendation."

Hi everybody - I've been on PTU for the past 6 years (second episode of Graves). My normal endo got very exasperated with me when my last attempt to stop the medication failed and has said that I must have my thyroid removed. I saw another endo for a second opinion and he said that block and replace treatments have better remission rates so, provided the forthcoming scan of my thyroid doesn't show that it is enlarged, it might be worth trying block and replace. He also said that doctors cannot give anti-thyroids for say 20 years as this is seen here in France as a medical fault - ie not treating the patient properly. Neither endo is at all touchy feely and neither of them has asked me how I actually feel!
So - questions - should I give the block and replace regime a chance? And how likely is it to succeed in getting me to remission bearing in mind my years on PTU?
Thanks in anticipation
