There are alot of Pros and Cons in buying Foreclosures. My brother and I buy foreclosures (REOs) in California. The biggest con is the condition of the property. The property is in bad shape and needs lots of TLC. The bank will be selling the property "As Is". That means you buy the good and the bad. We always try to get an inspection period to check the property out. Sometimes we get it sometimes we don't. You have to evaluate each property and the profit potential to see if you will move on the deal. Now we are investors so we are buying way under market to sell to someone else. And that brings up the next con: property value. Usually their are not a lot of houses selling in the area where we are buying REOs. This makes it hard establish the "After Repair Value" (ARV) of the property. The ARV is what the house would sell for at retail when it is all fixed up. We actually look at the past years values; like what were houses selling for 3 -4 years ago. We do not think the market, even in the Central Valley of California, will sink below those values.
Now the Pros; you can get a great house, that needs work, for a greatly reduced price. Prices will recover in the next year or two and you can have that equity just waiting for you. I recommend (3) things: 1) Look for REOs that have been on the market at least 60 days in a mature area; 2)have the property inspected to develop a scope of work for repairs; 3) Have a licensed contractor give you and estimate on the repairs and subtracted from the ARV along with a hassle fee for your time to fix-up (10 - 15%) the property. You will have to make a lot of offers to one accepted but that one will be on your terms and will pay-off in the end. Good Luck.

The KL Tower
More impressive still, KL Tower is the seventh-tallest telecommunication tower in the world, and along with the nearby Petronas Towers, it dominates the city's skyline. Since its completion in the mid-1990s, it has helped to define the city's aesthetic and international image, and draws thousands of tourists to the area every year.
After visiting the city's famous central market (where you can sample a variety of locally produced handicrafts and souvenirs), you can join an organized tour of the building and surrounding area, indulge in a buffet dinner, or switch it up and choose a nighttime tour of the Tower and the market as well.
The structure is divided into five separate sections. These consist of the aforementioned observation deck and revolving restaurant, the main antenna mast, the tower shaft (through which elevators race up and down the tower at astonishing speeds), the pedestrian mall on the ground, and the substructure beneath the building that contains three full floors of basements, storage and maintenance facilities.

text: Posted April 23, 2012 Carolina already knows that guy can play. Numbers might be overhyped, but at this point, they're the biggest indicators of future performance available. Why isn't it reasonable to assume that a small defensive end will struggle against the run, or that a short one will struggle to get his hands on pass blockers? We've seen it before--trends are the reason that numbers are valued. The trends go against him. He could be an exception, but the top ten isn't really a spot where I want hope to be a deciding factor. Is anything sure in the draft?? If you look at numbers, Ingram had 10 sacks as a senior, that is pretty good production. The issue is that 6'2" isn't small for a DE. His height may not help him bat down passes but it gives him plenty of leverage in rushing the passer. If he had serious knocks against him he wouldn't be rated the best DE in the draft and a top 10 pick. Apparently most of the experts don't agree he isn't a top 10 pick.

Tagline: Don't Let Go
Synopsis: Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock), a brilliant medical engineer on her first Shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney) in command of his last flight before retiring. But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The Shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone-tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness of space. The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth and any chance for rescue. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left. But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expance of space…

First female Oklahoma House majority floor leader named
The first black person to serve as House speaker has selected the first woman to serve as majority floor leader in the state's 105-year history.
House Speaker-elect T.W. Shannon, R-Lawton, named Rep. Pam Peterson on Monday to serve as majority floor leader for the 54th Legislature. The two-year session begins Feb. 4.
Peterson, R-Tulsa, will succeed Rep. Dale DeWitt, R-Braman, as majority floor leader. As floor leader, Peterson will be responsible for assigning bills to committees, scheduling bills for floor hearings and running business on the floor during session.
A spokesman for the House said records kept by the House indicate Peterson is the first woman to serve as majority floor leader there.
"I'm very humbled and honored to have this opportunity," said Peterson, who was elected to the House in 2002. "I am looking forward to serving with Speaker-elect Shannon in this new leadership role."
Shannon, who was selected speaker-elect last month by the Republican-controlled majority in the House, also named a Norman lawmaker to head up a powerful budget committee. Rep. Scott Martin, R-Norman, has served as vice chairman of the House Appropriations and Budget Committee for the past four years. He will succeed Rep. Earl Sears, R-Bartlesville, who headed up the panel the past two years.
"Chairing the budget committee is probably one of the toughest jobs in the House, but I'm up to the task," Martin said. "You don't make a lot of friends when you have to tell people no, but taking care of our tax dollars means we have to say no to a lot of spending items."
DeWitt and Sears were named to their posts by former House Speaker Kris Steele, a Shawnee Republican who could not seek re-election because of 12-year legislative term limits.
Shannon also announced that Reps. Fred Jordan, R-Jenks, and Dennis Johnson, R-Duncan, would serve as majority leaders to help Peterson.
"I have worked with these members for years as I served in the Legislature, and now it is my honor to serve with them as leaders of this great body," Shannon said. "Each of them brings different talents, experiences and perspectives to our leadership team, and they will serve our colleagues well in their new positions."
Shannon said he will be announcing other leadership positions in the coming weeks, including committee chairmen and vice chairmen.

Outside the cafeteria at Kathryn Winn Primary School, a couple of first grade students gather around a poster of a pointed wizard's cap hanging on the wall. The large cut-out cap has about 15 small cardboard wizard caps stuck to it with Velcro, each with a different student's first name written on it. Thirty-one wizard caps line both sides of the hall, each one representing a higher level of mathematical wizardry.

More than 500,000 Kentucky public school students will take the state's new K-Prep test for the first time this spring, and educators are concerned that the results could leave many families confused and concerned.
The new test was mandated under Senate Bill 1, the 2009 reform package that the General Assembly passed to strengthen Kentucky's public education system.
The U.S. Attorney's Office and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) jointly announced today that an illegal alien, previously convicted of an aggravated felony, was sentenced Tuesday, Jan. 17 to 71 months in prison for illegally entering the U.S. a second time.
Jose Antonio Gonzalez-Meija 29, was discovered as an illegal alien after he was serving time in the Carroll County Detention Center in July of 2011.
Gonzalez-Meija's previous conviction of rape in Henry County, Ky. in 2006 enhanced the federal prison sentence he received Tuesday.

Teenager's execution prompts UN call for halt to death penalty in Iran

|UN News Service, Teenager's execution prompts UN call for halt to death penalty in Iran, 22 September 2011, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/4e8030d32.html [accessed 1 June 2016]

Alireza Molla Soltani, 17, was publicly executed by hanging on Wednesday. He was reportedly sentenced to death last month for stabbing a popular athlete to death in mid-July, which he said was done in self-defence.
"We are outraged at the execution practice in Iran despite the international community's and our repeated calls for a moratorium," the experts on human rights in Iran, on summary executions, on the independence of the judiciary, and on torture said in a news release.
"Any judgment imposing the death penalty upon juveniles below the age of 18, and their execution, are incompatible with Iran's international obligations," they stressed.
This year alone, more than 200 people have been executed in Iran, the majority of whom were charged with drug-related offences, the news release noted. A man convicted of drug trafficking was also hanged in Iran on Wednesday, according to media reports.
The experts said that it is widely accepted that the death penalty is an extreme punishment, and that it may only be imposed for the most serious crimes.
"We, however, regret that execution is common practice for people charged with drug-related offences, which do not amount to the most serious crimes."
The experts Christof Heyns, Ahmed Shaheed, Gabriela Knaul and Juan Méndez called on the Iranian Government to immediately implement a moratorium on the death penalty, particularly in drug-related and juvenile cases.
UN human rights experts work in an independent and unpaid capacity, and report to the Geneva-based Human Rights Council.

Lasted for < 1 year
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This light was great for commuting purposes (not complete darkness) while it was working, except for a few issues. First, the light would once in awhile accidentally turn on in my bag (in a specific pocket for this light and also a tail light). Second, you need a screwdriver to access the battery case - this isn't a problem except for the next point. Third, the alkaline batteries (that came with the light) leaked and ruined the light. If there was easy access to the compartment, I would consider removing the batteries when not in use, but the screw cover makes it difficult.
Good bright light
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Bright light, you can see far forward but not much on the sides of a bike path, not great in turns when you ride fast.
Cool little edit!
Neat light from a neat company!
Check out this edit they put together with their bike light product lineup!

Day Or Night
Somewhere between pain and pleasure
The day goes by
Somewhere between word and action
The day goes by
You can try me without witness
You can tie me to the stake
I may burn, but i'll still be with you
Day or night, night or day
Don't you see you're the last to know
Your mind is dead, your heart won't grow
Nice and steady, then weeks behind
I've seen you there, i've seen you hide
I wanna know your mind's on me
Look at me now, face towards me
If you want me, you can find me
Day or night, night or day
The hours slipping slowly by
I look inside again
I see the emptiness exposing
All i have, all i am
I love the whispers in your eyes
I look to stay alive
Don't you want me, you can have me
Day or night, night or day
Somewhere between pain and pleasure
Somewhere between heel and toe
Someone walks the straight and narrow
Another lets the demons go
How can i lie here without feeling
You lift me up, you make me whole
I can trust you, will you look for me
Day or night, night or day

A multi-state, 750-employee corporation's human resources department was exploring the idea of outsourcing their benefit and payroll functions.
Administrative responsibilities distracted them from doing what they did best: being strategic, helping their employees, growing the company and providing a strong backbone for continued company success. They wanted a business partner to not simply take over in-house administration, but actually function as an extension of their department with the same employee-centric focus.
Frost HR Consulting worked with them to provide a customized outsourcing solution, implementing technology that offered seamless payroll, HR and benefit integration. Among other things:
Frost HR Consulting met all of the client's original outsourcing needs – and more.
The implementation process corrected errors and inefficiencies that had gone unnoticed.
By examining their internal business processes, we were able to take over additional HR responsibilities that expanded our scope of services and help HR more than originally forecasted. The result has been a business partnership that exceeded expectations and has become more valuable to the employee and the client.

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Mets owners are stepping to the plate to try to convince a jury that they didn't know financier Bernard Madoff was operating a Ponzi scheme.
A jury in federal court in Manhattan will hear Mets owners testify about their relationship with Madoff. He is serving a 150-year prison sentence after admitting in 2008 that his investment business was a sham. He lost about $20 billion for investors.
A trustee recovering money for thousands of investors sued the Mets owners for $1 billion, saying their friendship with Madoff helped them profit from his fraud. A judge presiding over the case has already ordered the owners to pay up to $83 million. The trial getting under way Monday will determine if they owe up to $303 million more.

Free Hugs : A Personal Story (ebook)
[The story of Free Hugs : Bath]

Free Hugs : A Personal Story chronicles my experiences with a Free Hugs sign over two and a half extraordinary years in the magnificent city of Bath, England.
The book is littered with truly heart-warming memories and anecdotes; often amusing but equally as often poignant. It's also packed with over a hundred superb black and white photographs capturing many of those special moments.
This is a story about what it is to be human. To be Hugh Mann...

GRANITE FALLS, Wash. (AP) — Snohomish County deputies and volunteers are looking for a Granite Falls woman who has been missing since last Thursday.
The sheriff's office says 41-year-old Angela Marie Gilbert went for a hike with a man on a forest trail near Granite Falls. He returned and says she continued by herself.
Gilbert's mother reported her missing on Sunday. Searchers found a shoe they believe is hers near the south fork of the Stillaguamish River.
The Daily Herald reports detectives are investigating.

my lo started eating some solids about 6wks ago (per dr orders because he was hungry and wanted a bottle like every 2-3hrs) he now weighs around 16 lbs and dr said he's fine in the 60% for height and weight (balanced). he drinks around 28-35oz formula (plus one juice bottle 1/2 water) and eats around 8-12 oz food (plus cereal) a day...but before I give him the bottle after food, he acts like he's still hungry and cries when the food's gone, but is satisified most of the way through the bottle (sometimes not finishing it) so I'm not sure if I should up the food intake and start cutting back the formula because he seems to be drinking much more now and is hungry more often. eating example...breakfast: you know the stage one gerber plastic dishes from the baby food? I will fill one half way with cereal, add water or formula, and half a jar of baby food (usually fruit)...but then he crys when it gone and I give him a 5-6 oz bottle and he's satisified... lunch: I usually just feed him one 4 oz jar of veggies (again he cries when thats' gone) and then a 5-6 oz bottle again. he usually takes 7 oz oz bottles througout the day too.
HELP. Feeding solids questions...

That sounds like a lot of food! I don't think u should up the food intake. He still gets all his nutrition from the formula. My lo has 5 6 oz bottles of formula and if I can get him to eat solids...its one pouch which is 3.5 oz. He's 19 lbs.
Posted 10/03/2013
My pedi told me that you should feed solids only after they have drank their fill of milk as milk should be their primary source of food. My LO is 21 lbs and she eats half of the gerber container after nursing.
Posted 10/03/2013
At 1 year old, 75% of their nutrition should still be from breast milk or formula. He's getting a lot of solids now. I would not increase them.
Posted 10/03/2013
You might also want to skip the juice and just give that bottle as formula. Juice really isn't good for them, especially at this age.
Posted 10/03/2013
Agree switch to milk first and that should help satisfy. Also skip juice for milk.
Posted 10/03/2013
That definitely sounds like a lot of food. My LO is 21 lbs and drinks 28 oz of formula and about 7 oz of baby food a day (2 oz for breakfast, .2 oz for lunch, 3 oz for dinner). He also gets an ounce or 2 of juice in a sippy for practice. I would skip the juice bottle and give the milk bottle first before baby food.
Posted 10/04/2013
I think he is getting plenty. When he cries after he probably just sad because its yummy!! I'm sad when my ice cream bowl is empty!! Lol! Keep up what your doing mama!
Posted 10/04/2013
My guy eats half a container of baby food usually. I think they are like 2.5 ounces. I have done a whole one one time. I also heard you should do milk first, but I don't always since I usually nurse him to sleep. But I make sure he isn't super hungry when I do solids. He has never cried because the food is gone. But he's not a big hunger crier anyway. He gets a little ticked that I won't let him play with the spoon and the bowl. I think he wants to do blw/finger foods, but I'm too scared to let him yet. He just turned 6 months about a week ago. He has only had a little cereal and squash so far. And we don't do solids every day. But he's 20 pounds, so nothing wrong with my milk! Lol. . I take a fish oil pill in addition to my prenatal and I take extra vitamin D since I sometimes forget to give him his vitamins and/or he doesn't swallow them all.

OK, so the Sprint Evo 4G doesn't really cost $5,555. As you should all well know, it's common for carriers and retailers to assign outrages prices to a phone when it's first put into inventory. And as the Evo 4G isn't expected to be sold for another couple of months or so, it's a pretty good bet that Sprint doesn't even know what the price is yet. That said, it is the Evo 4G we see here in this inventory shot, so it's another step forward. You're all waiting patiently, right? [Engadget]

I think that with the Droid Incredible being released on Verizon for $199 that Sprint would have to be crazy not to at least match that price as well. That would be a disaster.

Update on YelenaYelena sells merchandise in the large local market in the city of Melitopol. She sells children's clothing and shoes. She has her own stall and has worked in market sales for the last 14 years.
Yelena plans to invest the amount of 15,000 hryvnia into purchasing merchandise for the spring season, specifically dresses, jackets, blouses, hats and light coats to sell in the spring. With the received profits, she hopes to expand her business and provide for her seven-year-old daughter, who she is raising alone.

За счет полученной прибыли надеется развивать свой бизнес и дальше и обеспечивать 7-летнюю дочь, которую воспитывает сама.

Additional Information
About HOPE UkraineHOPE International, a Christian faith-based non-profit organization, has been operating in Ukraine since 1997. HOPE Ukraine was the organization's first international venture. In addition to its core microfinance activities, HOPE also supports an active children's ministry in Ukraine in the form of "Tomorrow Clubs," after-school programs that teach children the gospel through games, skits and songs.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

PPG 2003 Street Rodder Road Tour Mid-AmericaWritten on May 27, 2003 The PPG Street Rodder Road Tour Car hits Springfield, MI during the Memorial Day Weekend

OC Salt TherapyRead MoreBefore opening OC Salt Therapy, Robert Condraschi spent sleepless nights listening to and worrying about the labored breathing of his 2-year-old son Constantin. After visiting dozens of doctors, all of whom offered different diagnoses for Constantin's ailments, it became clear that surgery was the last viable treatment plan. Before agreeing to invasive measures, Robert and his son booked a trip to the Eastern European salt mines. Within days of basking in the therapeutic chamber, Constantin's breathing grew steadier, and he slept through the night for the first time in years. Now, OC Salt Therapy's founders strive to spark similar recoveries in clients of all ages. They have coated three rooms from floor to ceiling in pure, untreated salt, and each room houses a halogenerator that disperses microscopic particles of salt through the air. In the adult room, clients recline on chaise lounges and listen to soothing music. In the children's room, tykes can tinker with toys, help sentient salt shakers write letters to forlorn pepper grinders, or watch DVDs on flat-screen TVs as parents supervise through the glass door for kids 10 and up, or inside the room for those under 10.12062 Valley ViewGarden Grove, CA US

Neville likes to go outside, as any dog does… but what he likes even more is to come back in! His dad makes sure to film him each time he tries to get back into the house and sees the door is shut – look at that expression! It's a montage of cuteness!
As soon as he's ready to re-enter the house (and not a second later) he springs to the door and waits outside with just the slightest bit of impatience and frustration. LOL! What a goofball!

I certainly believe that we are. Some would argue as a superpower its our job to protect the world, fight for those who cant defend themselves. I would have to respectfully disagree. We should refrain from interfering with other countries and international policy unless it directly affects us. Whats happening in syria that's not our concern, we should stay out. Offer no assistance and let them sort it out. Its not our job to force our will or desires on others, that's what we did in IRAQ/Afghanistan. Them people didn't ask for our assistance, they didn't ask for our freedom, they didn't want it. They lived under a dictatorship and it worked for them. Don't get me wrong a tyrant's rule is not justified, but it wasn't our right to step in. How would we feel if China decided that because we owe them tons of money they will impose communism on us? We would fight as the Iraqis did/are still doing.
I think we should not get involved in anymore of the conflicts overseas. Thats their business let them deal with it.

Employee development is important, but unfortunately it is also often overlooked in the grand scheme of things. Day to day work life is hectic, but failure to actively develop employees can end up costing you top talent in the long run. Whether your company is one that hires a significant amount of young graduates, or you want to improve the team you have already built; turning good employees into great employees, is a lot less hassle then recruiting outsiders into your company. If you play your cards right, you could end up with highly skilled employees who are genuinely dedicated to helping your company thrive. Here are six strategies that you can use to start developing exceptional employees.

One of the most significant concerns employers experience is how to keep employees motivated and engaged at work. It may seem like a problem that would simply require the right combination of pay and rewards to produce the right results, but employees aren't as easily motivated as one would think, though that isn't necessarily a surprise to use in the Human Resources field. We have long known that recognition and relationships go much further than empty rewards, but how do rewards programs fit into the grand scheme of workplace engagement?
Jessica Miller-Merrell, blogging4jobs
Pay-for-performance is by far one of the most popular forms of compensation that employees can offer their workforce. But even with it's popularity, the question of whether or not it is the best way to compensate employees remains. There are many ways to do it, but essentially pay-for-performance compensation means that a form of measurement is established and goals are set, then when employees meet a goal, they are compensated accordingly. This could be a number based on the amount of sales during a period of time, annual revenue, performance reviews or any number of other measurements. In fact, one of the most significant considerations in whether or not pay-for-performance compensation is the best idea for your business is the type of incentive payment you're using.

Motivating employees is no easy task. Often times, there isn't a cut-and-dry solution because there are a lot of factors to consider, from what's going on inside the company to what's going on with each individual employee. It can be easy to buy into a one-size-fits-all answer for how to motivate employees or to think that one major change will turn things around because it's the simple. If just one adjustment, such as increasing employees' pay, were all it took, we wouldn't find it as challenging to motivate our workforce. But the truth is, employee motivation is complex.

I read an article the other day that boldly proclaimed:
"The work ethic in our great country is going straight down the tubes and if that doesn't change, we're in BIG trouble!"
The author, a motivational speaker who travels around the country, went on to present as evidence the stories he's heard from employers throughout the U.S. about lazy, entitled America workers who want pay increases for no reason whatsoever even as they casually shuffle into work wearing PJs and flip flops.

Many years ago, workplace perks were few and far between but these days, nearly every company offers some kind of perk for its employees. In order to stay competitive, recruit the best of the best and keep employees happy, it's vital to consider not only what employees can do for you but also what you can do for them. It would be easy to say off the cuff that employees are more engaged when you give them bonus perks in addition to their normal compensation but it's important to really look at if and why this is true.
Tess C. Taylor, PHR, The HR Writer
The hallmark of a successful organization is one in which employees happily produce top results each day and do this organically without a lot of "hand holding" from management. However, what is the secret to attaining this level of greatness?
Crystal Spraggins, SPHR
The first employee assistance programs (EAPs) were established in response to the growing problem of alcoholism among white-collar workers.
Eventually, however, the programs evolved into what they're known for today—providing confidential support to employees with mental, financial, childcare, substance abuse, and other personal problems.
Workforce analytics is earning its place in Human Resources departments but it can be a chore to determine how it fits into yours. The concept can be used in so many areas, from recruiting to hiring to learning and development and development. It cuts down on the guess work in many cases, helping to identify trends and have a good idea of what an outcome will be before its even reached, so it's no surprise that it's now reaching into employee performance evaluations.

NIT-PICK (v.) to be excessively concerned with or critical of inconsequential details (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/nitpick)
The problem with the nitpicking manager is that he often lacks self-insight. In other words, the nitpicking manager doesn't view his behavior as unhelpful. And that makes perfect sense, because if this manager viewed his behavior as unhelpful, one can only imagine that he wouldn't be acting this way, right?
Crystal Spraggins, SPHR
Quick—what's the one topic many job seekers are advised to avoid during the interview process?
You guessed it. Money. When job seekers are focused on money during the interview stage, it shows a lack of real interest and commitment to the work—or so the thinking goes.

Are women called Bossy more often than men? If so, what impact does that have on the overall picture of gender equality in leadership positions? The gender wage gap and women's roles in leadership are popular, and sadly sometimes polarizing topics of conversation. Recently there has been a lot of buzz regarding Sheryl Sandberg's Ban Bossy campaign, which is "a public service campaign to encourage leadership and achievement in girls."
It's been my experience that most adults do not like being told what to do. But when it comes to work, what does this mean exactly?
Most everyone has a boss, and generally, most everyone is required to take direction from said boss. Refusing to take direction from a boss is a big no-no. It's called insubordination, and most places will fire you for it.
So, how do good managers respect their employees' natural inclination to not want to be told what to do while at the same time fulfilling their managerial duties? Simple. They cause others to willingly follow by providing sound leadership. And some of the best leaders I've ever known were natural teachers.
In the grand scheme of things, how well you compensate employees from the start can influence both the short and long-term performance of your work teams. When employees know that they work for an employer that values their contributions with a transparent salary policy that reflects this, a beautiful thing happens. Work becomes more rewarding in a tangible way. Salary isn't a sore point, but rather a demonstration of support for the efforts of employees at all levels.
Jessica Miller-Merrell, blogging4jobs
Even at the most successful companies, employees sometimes need a boost of motivation to keep them operating at their peak. It's a bit like a tune up for your workforce, which is often just what's needed when your employees have been putting in long hours, producing great work or even under performing. The truth is, whether your people are performing excellently or lacking, motivation can take them to the next level.
Going through mass layoffs is extremely difficult for any organization. While it's certainly a hardship for those who lose their jobs, the employees who are left to fill the gaps also face unique struggles. They are likely experiencing a range of emotions, from fear to gratefulness, to frustration and confusion. These employees who made it through the layoffs are not only feeling uncertain about their jobs but also feeling the stress of picking up the slack when there has been a major cut in staffing. The difficulty in helping your employees manage all these feelings is that there is an incredible need for employees to be motivated as well during this time so that both the quality and quantity of worked performed isn't affected.
When is the last time you took the time to thank your employees for a job well done? Several workplace studies have shown a connection between appreciation of employees and the results of company objectives. Leaders who put emphasis on demonstrating appreciation to employees on a regular basis produce a higher level of employee engagement, which boosts productivity like gangbusters. Having an employee incentive program in place is one piece of the bigger puzzle.
How well is your company doing at fairly handling the employee bonus and incentive program? To help you figure out that answer, first ask yourself this question: Do you have a way of tracking the perks you hand out to employees so that you know you are doing this well? If your company chooses to use bonuses as part of a compensation program, but you are not effectively managing this with data, you could be missing the mark.
Pay raises are an inevitable aspect of managing employees but that doesn't make handling them any less complicated. Whether it's determining which employees to give raises to or considering how much of a raise is ideal, the process typically makes the top of the list of dreaded tasks for HR professionals and managers. To make matters even more difficult, employees don't always wait until their performance review to request a raise. Even though it may not be the best time for you, when employees request a raise you are faced with decisions that you may not have considered before that moment.
One of the many ways that employers incentivize the workplace is by offering earned time off for hours worked. This can be an effective way to motivate and reward employees at the same time as creating access to greater work life balance. For most, it's a win-win situation. Employers have access to a reliable workforce, while employees have the chance to earn much needed time off. It seems like a good compromise to the growing issue of faltering attendance and performance in many organizations.

The strings dig deep into her veins.
She moves with them,
To dull the pain.
A painted face,
With a printed smile,
Her emotions left unversitile.
She dances alone, secluded,
Forlorn and deluded.
A disaster.
And only for her twisted master.
A mental crafter,
A vile bastard.
but this is a show.
the people can see it
the people they know,
this is no secret.
their eyes glazed over
like shes no longer there
ignoring her existence,
she finds comfort in despair.
welcome to the show.
on stage, a girl
who you might as well know.
Only I can see the tears,
And only I know all her fears.
I flick my fingers to the right,
On my command she stands up right.
I flick my finger to the left.
She'd murder all the ones she left.
she dances with a smile.
that does not reach the eyes,
it looks so sick and vile
a soul that believes its lies.
Maybe its love,
i've heard it's supposed to ache.
Or maybe she's insane,
because even the strong can break.
I don't know the reasons,
Or why she's bound and chained.
I just can't help but love it
Her face
so filled with pain.
with porcelain skin, and a fragile air of ash
her face was cracked,
just beneath the eyes.
her face was cracked,
just beneath the eyes.
the poem, to me, seems perfect as is. the imagery is absolutely stunning, i think your diction is amazing, and there's a tangible emotion behind it. it's a perfect example of what literature is: something that lives and breathes. it's present and never dies.
i'm getting lots of imagery from this.... the whole puppet and puppeteer thing.
creepy, but fantastic. never change it <3
creepy, but fantastic. never change it <3
This is a creepy little poem, isn't it? I rather like it, and I would leave it just so. Great work!
haha! yes i hope thats what people think that i was aiming for. instead of imagining some creepy guy
Hmm... I like all your imagery, but I feel like the rhyming is a bit forced at times. Also, just a suggestion, you might want to break the rhythm intentionally at some point. Currently, it's perfect, but that can make the poem sound a bit nursery-ish, which I don't think you were going for. It's a nice piece, and I hope this helps. It's purely my opinion, so you need not take any of this advice.
this poem is great as it is, please don't change it
I feel so connected with this poem.
If you feel is incomplete is just a writers agony cause it shows fully complete and artistic to me.

This invention relates to a device for wetting threads, films or thread bundles which are transported from top to bottom, with liquids, whereby the device consists of a system releasing the liquid, conduits and a storage container as well as suitable transporting means for the liquid, and the use of this device, particularly for applying a preparation of liquid to a thread bundle which has been obtained from a spinning solution according to the dry spinning process.
Various preparation systems have become known in the production of man-made fibres. Thus, for example, the preparation is applied to the fibres by rollers or by metering pumps. A good thread composition and the expanding and loop formation of the cable should be achieved hereby, for example during the plaiting process in spinning cans is prevented. JP No. 74/1006 for example, describes a system of rollers for oiling yarns. Preparation thread guide for applying a preparation liquid on multifilament threads is described by German Utility Model No. 76/5571, whereby the guideway of the threads in the region of the opening to the liquid conduit has a recess. German Utility Model No. 74/42133 describes a further variant, whereby the guideway is bent in a convex manner and the supply nozzle for the preparation liquid opens above the contact zone of the yarn. DE-OS No. 26 09 885 describes a coating head with a gap for releasing the preparation agent and DE-OS No. 20 45 142 proposes a device for treating threads with liquid, whereby the quantity of liquid to be used can be adjusted precisely and constantly by means of a hydrostatic pressure control. DE-OS No. 25 30 618 finally presents a device for the rapid spinning of threads from melts, whereby the threads are wound into a spool package by means of a drive roller, a transverse guide moving along the longitudinal axis of the spool and a support guide through which the threads reach the transverse guide. Wetting between the transverse guide and the support guide can hereby optionally take place.
The above named preparation systems have unsatisfactory results when thread bundles which have been obtained from a spinning solution according to the dry spinning process are to be prepared and then directly supplied for drawing. A process for the continuous production of crimped threads and fibres from acrylonitrile polymers according to the dry spinning method is described in DE-OS No. 32 25 266. The object of the present invention was to provide an improved preparation system for this process. It was thereby important to carry out application of the preparation liquid with low water content in the course of the production process before drawing, such that the spinning cable can be directly supplied to the stretching means without a notable heat loss, and that, in spite of a large number of filaments per spinning shaft, an even preparation application is achieved and the preparation device is simple to maintain.
These objects are surprisingly achieved according to the invention with a device for wetting threads, films or thread bundles, which are transported from top to bottom, the substrates being wetted with liquids, whereby the device consists of a system releasing the liquid, conduits and a storage container as well as suitable transporting means for the liquid. The system releasing the liquid has at least two slotted nozzles positioned one above the other and opposite each other having a horizontal slot, whereby rods are attached at the slot ends, which, seen from above, form an angle with the slot of from 100° to 170°, preferably from 115° to 160°. In particular, the rods attached at the slot ends are arranged horizontally. The slots of the slotted nozzles are spaced along a horizontal from each other by about the thickness of the thread, the film or the thread bundle. It is preferable if two respective slotted nozzles are positioned one above the other at a height of from 5 to 50 mm.
The device according to the invention serves for wetting threads, films or thread bundles with liquids, particularly for wetting thread bundles with a preparation liquid. The device according to the invention preferably serves to apply a preparation liquid on a thread bundle which has been obtained from a spinning solution according to the dry spinning process, whereby the device is preferably positioned within the spinning shaft, from 20 to 100 mm from the lower spinning shaft end. Most particularly advantageous is the use of the device according to the invention for applying a preparation liquid onto a thread bundle which has been obtained from a spinning solution according to the dry spinning process and is supplied for drawing without interruption.
The application of liquid preparations of softening agents by the device according to the invention is to be explained in more detail below by means of elementary diagrams.
FIG. 1 is a front view of a lower spinning shaft end according to the invention;
FIG. 2 is a top view of a thread guide with a slotted nozzle.
FIG. 1 shows a front view of the lower spinning shaft end. The thread bundle 1 is bunched in the shaft interior by thread guides (2,3) positioned opposite each other, which are arranged at a height from each other of about 10 mm, and is prepared at the same time from the rectangular-shaped slots. The slots are connected to a pressure-controlled metering device (5) via a capilliary tube system (4). The spacing of the lower thread guide to the spinning shaft end is about 40 mm. After flowing through the spinning shaft end (6), the hot, bunched, prepared threads are diverted over a roller or a pin (7) and, combined into a cable strand with the threads of other spinning shafts, are directly supplied to the stretching device. Evaporated quantities of spinning solvent are drawn off in advance in the spinning shaft via a perforated ring (8).
FIG. 2 shows a top view of one of the thread guides (2,3) with the slotted nozzle (9), on which the side rods (10) are attached. The liquid is brought to the slotted nozzle via the conduit (11).
The preparation system can be used in principle for all threads and multifilament threads. Spinning solution additives such as matting agents, colour pastes or pigments do not influence the preparation and further processing with the device according to the invention. The word "preparations" refers to all liquid or pasty agents which are to be applied on single or multifilament threads, thus softening emulsions, antistatic agents, spool oils or spinning/stretching preparations as are described, for example, in Chemiefasern/Textilindustrie April 1982, page 265. With the preparation process according to the invention, it has been shown to be extremely advantageous to carry out application of the preparation already in the shaft interior to the thread bundle whilst still hot. For this prupose, it is particularly favourable to use warm preparation liquids, preferably having a temperature above 70° C. As a result of the high thread temperatures, which generally lie above 100° C. (measured without contact with the radiation thermometer KT 15 by the firm Heimann GmbH, Wiesbaden), the threads of many spinning shaft positions combined into thick fibre cables can be perfectly hot-drawn without a high energy supply. An extremely good preparation distribution simultaneously takes place on the threads as a result of the high temperatures.
A further possibility consists in applying the preparation system directly below the shaft end of the spinning shafts.
The 30% by weight spinning solution of an acrylontrile copolymer consisting of 93.6% by weight of acrylonitrile, 5.7% by weight of acrylic acid methyl ester and 0.7% by weight of sodium methallyl sulphonate in dimethyl formamide, which after dissolving has a viscosity of 8.3 Pa.s, measured at 100° C., is cooled to 90° C., filtered and directly supplied to a spinning apparatus with 30 spinning shafts. The spinning solution is dry-spun from 1264-perforated nozzles with a nozzle perforation diameter of 0.2 mm, with a drawing speed of 100 m/min. The shaft temperature is 200° C. and the air temperature is 380° C. The permeated quantity of air is 47 m3 /h for each shaft which is blasted in at the head of the shaft in a longitudinal direction to the threads. The 1264 filaments per spinning shaft which have a total titre of 12850 dtex are bunched in the spinning shaft via two thread guides (FIG. 2) and simultaneously wetted with an 80° to 90° C. warm, aqueous, oil-containing, anti-static preparation such that the oil content of the threads is 0.16% by weight, the content of antistatic agent is 0.04% by weight and the moisture 1.1% by weight, based on the solids content. The metering is pressure-controlled. The pressure in the preparation conduit is 0.3 bar with a capilliary diameter of the preparation tube of 0.42 mm. The metered quantitiy of preparation liquid is 12 ml/min per spinning position. The bunched prepared thread bundle has a surface temperature of 132° C. directly after leaving the spinning shaft and a residual solvent content of 9.5% by weight of dimethyl formamide, based on the solids. The spinning bulk is then diverted and united with the spinning bulk of the other spinning shafts to a fibre cable with a total titre of 385 500 dtex, directly drawn over a hot pair of rollers in the ratio 1:4, crimped and relaxed in saturated steam. The finished cable shrunk to completion is then cut to staple fibres with a length of 60 mm, blown and packed into balls. The fibres which have an individual fibre end titre of 3.3 dtex, a fibre strength of 2.76 cN/dtex and an elongation of 45% can be perfectly carded to a high quality card at a rate of 120 m/min and further processed into yarns.
