READING FC are chasing non-league 'wonderkid' Billy Whitehouse.
The Chronicle understands Royals have opened negotiations with his club Tadcaster Albion with a view to bringing him to Madejski Stadium.
The 22-year-old winger has been in scintillating form this season with five goals and 10 assists in 18 appearances for the Evo-Stik East outfit.
Royals scouts are believed to have watched the 22-year-old several times and are now hoping to tie up a deal.
Whitehouse, who scored in their 5-1 win at Cleethorpes Town last time out, came through the youth system at his hometown team Doncaster Rovers.
He made his first-team debut in 2014 aged 18 and made 17 appearances before penning a one-year deal with Leeds United where he joined their development squad.
He made only one senior appearance for Leeds and spent a loan spell at Guiseley when they were managed by former Royals defender, Adam Lockwood.
Whitehouse eventually dropped out of league football to join Tadcaster in December 2017 where he has resurrected his career with 17 goals in 25 league games.
He is mostly deployed as a right winger with the Brewers but can play on either flank.
Royals are now hoping to secure Whitehouse's services for a small fee to boost their options out wide.
Record signing Sone Aluko and Mo Barrow have both failed to live up to expectations this season, with Barrow currently dropped for disciplinary reasons.
Romanian international Adrian Popa is also unavailable while he returns from a long-term injury.

Definitions for "INTRODUCTION"
Keywords: essay, thesis, paragraph, reader, conclusion
the beginning of an essay. An introduction should introduce the reader to the subject or topic or idea that the rest of the essay develops. Like the conclusion, the introduction could begin with a relevant quote or unusual fact. The introduction in academic writing more often than not includes a statement of the main idea of the essay (the thesis). Introductory paragraphs are usually shorter than developmental paragraphs.

The Earth has a magnetic field which emanates from its south magnetic pole, extends out into space and comes back to its north magnetic pole. The north and south magnetic poles are near the north and south celestial poles about which the Earth rotates. This is not true of some other planets. The magnetic field around the Earth is similar to one that would be formed if a bar magnet extended through the center of the Earth with the tips at the north and south magnetic poles. According to accepted theory, Earth's magnetic field arises from electrical currents flowing in the molten metallic core of the planet.

A method of obtaining a listing for shares. Where a company wishes its shares to be listed and it already has a wide range of shareholders such that the marketability of the shares on listing can be assumed, it is permitted to apply for a listing by means of introducing the shares to the market.

My husband recently started a new job and had to go through the benefits enrollment process and not surprisingly several questions came up. Should he enroll into a HSA? Can he add more money into a dependent care spending account even though I had already elected one. How much life insurance should he elect for? So, I thought it would be fun (is it only fun to me?) and helpful to write a post about the main aspects of a standard benefits package offered to new employees by large companies and what to enroll in and what NOT to enroll in.
Health Plans and the HSA: As the cost of health-care continues to rise, more and more of the costs are being shifted to the employee. If you are a healthy individual or couple and take no medications, strongly consider opting for a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) + healthcare spending account (HSA) or the cheapest health coverage available through your employer. While I definitely wouldn't recommend foregoing health coverage altogether and some employers I think require you to show proof of health insurance if you opt out, there's also no point in electing to pay a higher premium for more comprehensive health coverage if you don't need it. However, if you have a family with kids or have ongoing medical conditions, or take medications, then you should opt for a more full coverage plan. Remember also to check to see if your medication is covered by your health plan. It might've been covered under your previous plan, but it might not be covered under your new plan. If it's not covered and can't be changed to an alternative and it's expensive, you can plan to fund a health-care FSA to help offset the costs. Also remember to make sure and double check to see if your spouse isn't already enrolled in a health plan, because then if your employer offers the option, you may be better off opting out of electing into a health plan. In my experience, people don't often benefit much from having double coverage unless you have a lot of health problems and/or take a lot of medications. The money you save on monthly health insurance premiums can be better put elsewhere instead of wasting on double coverage. Now if you get free or nearly free health coverage offered as part of your benefits package than that's a different story as is the case with a lot of health-care providers.
A quick few words on the HSA. A HSA is a special tax-advantaged medical savings account that works like a triple-tax advantaged healthcare IRA. How? You get to put in pre-tax money, that you can then invest with significant flexibility and that investment grows tax-free. If used for qualified health-care expenses, the distributions from a HSA are also tax-free. That means the money you put into a HSA and use for health care expenses that you would probably have to pay for anyways, is completely tax-free! There is no other account I know of that offer this triple tax-advantage (with one very special exception Roth IRA for a child). Sign me up right? Not so fast. In order to be able to contribute to a HSA, you must have a high deductible health plan (HDHP) and not be covered by another health plan such as a spouse's or Medicare. For 2016, the IRS defines a HDHP as any plan with a deductible of at least $1,300 for an individual or $2,600 for a family, however you pay a lower premium than you would with a traditional plan. If you can afford a higher deductible and/or are pretty healthy with low healthcare utilization, a HDHP is a great choice, if for nothing else than to be able to invest in a HSA. HSA's are often colloquially known as a "stealth-IRA" because the funds in a HSA unlike in a FSA do not expire, but roll over year to year and therefore can serve as a smart way to save for post-retirement health care expenses, where it is highly you will need it. If you leave your employer, the HSA goes with you as well. My husband's new employer would also contribute a $1000 into the HSA. That's free money right there! Unfortunately and fortunately, we get free healthcare coverage through me and therefore no HSA for us.
Going back to checking with your spouse, if you are married or in a registered domestic partnership, you should double-check what kind of benefits your partner has elected. If one of you have better benefits, then you might be able to enroll all the benefits you need through one partner and the other partner can possibly receive a higher wage/salary in lieu of a benefits package. For example, my employer allows us to opt out of our entire benefits package and instead choose to receive higher pay. Remember to do some calculations to make sure it's in your best financial interest to do this since the extra money you receive is rarely equal to the price tag of the full benefits package.
Life Insurance: Many employers offer a small amount of free life insurance coverage, generally $50,000 to $100,000, which if you have people dependent on your income, is not that much. The professional advice is that you need 7-10x your income in life insurance, which personally I feel depending on your situation is a little excessive. Some employers might offer more. Just make sure it's free. However, when considering if you should purchase life insurance through your employer, first, determine if you even need life insurance. If you have no one dependent on your income to live, then you do NOT need life insurance. It's as simple as that. However, if you're married to a stay at home spouse, and/or have young children, or have sick and/or elderly parents you support financially, etc. then you do need life insurance. I am definitely in the "buy term and invest the difference" camp when it comes to life insurance. Very few people will benefit from any kind of whole life insurance and this includes its variants universal life or variable life insurance. Please do your research with an unbiased professional (that means not the life insurance broker/agent or a even a financial advisor who might be getting a commission) before purchasing any type of whole life insurance.
In general, I'd say do not buy life insurance through your employer. Here are my reasons why. If your employment gets terminated for any reason, you will most likely lose the term life insurance policy you've been paying for. I called my employer's life insurance provider MetLife and they told me should I terminate my employment with my employer, I will have 30 days to purchase the term life insurance policy with them, but they can not give me even a rough estimate on the cost since all of that will be variable based on my age and health condition at that time in the future. Since generally life insurance gets more expensive with age and you never know if you'll develop a medical condition down the line, if you are young and in good health, it's best to purchase an outside policy instead since once you lock in that price, it will stay that price for the term you purchased it for, regardless of your employment status. For example, using Term 4 Sale site which gives quotes for term life insurance, a 38 year old female, non-smoker in excellent health can obtain a 20 year term life insurance for $500,000 coverage for $255/year from an A+ rated insurance company. As long as you pay your premiums, you've locked in the $255/year price for 20 years. That's probably the same or even cheaper than what's offered by your employer's group term life insurance coverage as was the case in my experience, but I recommend to always do the math and compare your situation. The only time you should be looking into your employer's group term life insurance coverage is if you are older and/or in poor health and can not qualify for a good rate from an outside policy. I ran another quote through term4sale.com and kept the same age and sex, but this time I selected smoker and average health. Now the premiums shoot up to $1250/year! So run a quote on yourself and compare against the costs of what your employer is offering, but unless it's significantly cheaper, in general you'll be better off purchasing an outside policy.
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), Health-Care & Dependent Care: Ahh flexible spending accounts (FSA), a benefit I feel is underappreciated and often overlooked by employees. I wrote about my love for these two accounts before here in my post, Save Money with FSA's. To summarize, FSA's allows you set aside pre-tax money in an account that you can then use to reimburse qualified expenses. Contributions to an FSA are taken out of your paycheck and escape federal and state income taxes, as well as Social Security and Medicare taxes. The higher your income tax bracket, the more you save. They do have some caveats, the biggest one being the use or lose it rule which means that if you have any funds left over in the account at the end of the calendar year, you lose that money. It does not roll over to the next year for you to use, so keep that in mind when deciding to elect how much you want to contribute into the plan. For 2016, the maximum contribution to a health-care FSA is $2550 and to a dependent care FSA is $5000 and this limit applies to everyone in the household. So between you and your spouse, you can both only elect up to $2550 for a healthcare FSA and $5000 for a dependent-care FSA total. So as I mentioned above, double check that your spouse hasn't already elected the maximum contribution limit to these two FSA's before you elect into them too.
Almost anyone can benefit from a health-care FSA since you can put in as little as $100 or up to the contribution limit of $2550 for 2016. Health-care FSA's cover a myriad of qualifying health-care expenses such as copays for office visits, prescriptions, deductibles, eyeglasses, contact lens and a lot more all of which you would have to pay for anyways, so might as well get a tax break. A dependent-care spending account can soften the blow of the high cost of childcare, but the caveat is that both spouses have to be working or one must be a full-time student or disabled for the expenses to qualify. If one parent works part-time, only the days both parents are working are covered expenses. For an example on the cost-savings, we elected $1000 for the healthcare FSA and $5000 for the dependent care FSA for a total of $6000 and we saved about $2400 as a result. How awesome is that!
Direct Contribution Retirement Plans 401(k)/403(b)/457: Most employees should be enroll in the automatic paycheck deductions into their company sponsored retirement plan such as a 401(k) or 403(b). Having direct contributions taken out of your paycheck will help make saving less painful since it's automatic and you don't ever see the money so it doesn't hurt as much. If you have the option you should also consider electing the automatic increase as well since let's face it most of us will forget to increase the amount/percentage to contribute year to year. Deductions into a 401(k) are also pre-tax money, which reduces your taxable income. If you are a high income earner, you should be maxing out your 401(k) as I wrote about here. If you can't max out, then you should contribute at least up to the full employer match. An employer match to a 401(k) is literally free-money that you really shouldn't pass up. Even if the match is small, it still adds up over time and with compound interest.

--reviewed by Gregory J. Wolos
The title of Ellaraine Lockie's latest poetry collection, Sex & Other Slapsticks, begs a question, which her poems answer with candid mirth, spirit, and often a touch of wisdom: what do sex and slapstick comedy have in common? Remembering that the term "slapstick" derives from the joined slats of wood used in 16th century commedia dell'arte (think "Punch and Judy"), we have our answer—the two terms of Lockie's title both require bodies, both imply performance, both can make us laugh or cry; and both remind us of our shared humanity.
A slapstick is a prop, and props and performance draw Lockie's keen comic appraisal in the poems and brief prose pieces comprising this collection. In "To Dana," (subtitle :"Whose Deathbed Wish Was for a Friend to Dispose of Her Vibrator Before the Family Found It"), Lockie describes her personal history with props of self-stimulation, highlighting her own fear of "embarrassing" exposure as she imagines her own "piece of personal plastic" "mauled in front of my mother-in-law" by the family dog or accidentally activated at airport security where it "purred itself into a bomb bluff."
Another poem centered around a prop and imbued with physicality is "Bidet in a Haebun," in which the narrator and her husband consider with growing curiosity the bidet in the bathroom of their Florentine five-star hotel. At first they guess at its function, then misuse it. After discovering its purpose on Google and absorbing the knowledge that "Americans are unhygienic" compared to most of the world, the poet's period arrives during the night, while "Light from the full moon/ floods the bed where she sleeps." The next morning, she follows the instructions on the internet and, experiencing the satisfaction of "[w]ater like a spring brook," orders her own "Biffy bidet converter" for her "American" toilet.
As in "Bidet," ignorance or misunderstanding is pivotal in many of Lockie's poems, such as "Sex 101," where the narrator is informed "[a]fter forty years of pacifying penises" that her lover's "morning erection" did not signal "a need for sex," and she wasn't "obligated . . . to lighten his procreative load/ in my most copulatory capacity." In "Reading at the Little Joy," the narrator, "Daydreaming on a winter evening . . . on Sunset Boulevard," is mistaken by two young men as a prostitute. After she asks, "You guys wanna read," they move on, determining she's "[t]oo whacky" for what they had in mind.
In "Nomenclature in Montana" Lockie uses language as a prop to trace the loss of innocence that parallels a loss of ignorance. "As children," she writes, "there were no body-part words" for the animals as they were "making babies." Her father used simple "bodily function" words like "Pisshole and Asshole," and her mother favored "a more refined Number 1 Place and Number 2 Place" /Like they were addresses." Eventually, the narrator discovers "Number 1 ½ Place" that could accommodate fingers "and even welcome houseguests," but didn't learn the word "vagina" until high school, believing until then that "twat" was the past tense of "twit." Like most of Lockie's "ignorance to knowledge" poems in this collection, "Nomenclature" concludes on a note of personal affirmation, as she considers how the value of "my little piece of property . . . increased exponentially when it served/ as an annex through which my two daughters passed."
Because, after all, the poems of "Sex & Other Slapsticks" are about accepting ourselves: of our ignorance and fear of humiliation; of our bodies and our sexuality. With or without props, Ellaraine Lackie performs her "slapsticks" for her readers with a kind of warmth and humor that enables us to accept ourselves. She encourages us to appreciate our lives as we would a situation comedy, as in "Sitcom in a Café," where we watch the narrator's deaf and nearly blind ninety-one year old mother deposit leftover restaurant food in what she believes is her handbag, but is actually the mouth of "my niece's Guide Dog for the Blind in Training." And, in a final prose poem, "The Robe Also Rises," Lockie sacrifices her dignity for our mutual identification and self-forgiveness. Futilely chasing after her escaped dog at a mountain resort, she lies down in the snow, and oblivious to the public performance, "spread[s] out into an X-rated snow angel," a trick that had lured her dog in the past. She raises her arms, revealing a "naked pubis that was as black and silky as my robe," and, in spite of a little boy's concern that "Mommy, that lady doesn't have any underwear on," the trick works: the dog returns to see what she's up to, and she snares the pet's collar. As she leads the dog back to her room, she "ignored the fairly large audience of gaping faces."
Sex and slapstick, props and performance: in the same way Lockie recaptures her dog, her poems capture us, and we share not only the humiliation of exposure, but the triumph of her successes.

The easiest way to make a big difference in a room is to paint the walls. If you've never done this before, painting is easy. If you mess up a little here and there, follow these tips from Blue Fern Homes about painting mistakes and how to avoid them.
This might sound obvious, but if you recall what you were told as a child—"an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"—the best way to minimize painting mistakes is to avoid making them.
A good paint job starts with the right prep.
Clean all of the surfaces. Invest in a supply of Magic Erasers, because these little time-savers will remove even the most stubborn spots, like crayon and marker. Get rid of all dust and spider webs because they become really annoying when you paint over them.
Apply painter's tape—NOT masking tape, which will take your fresh paint with it—to mask off the edges of the areas, like the trim. When applying the tape, press the edges firmly so that paint doesn't seep under it.
Remove all switchplate and outlet covers. Tape the screws to the back of each one so you don't lose them.
Patch the holes. Get a container of spackling paste and a putty knife. Fill in the hole with the spackle and spread it over with the knife. When the paste dries, use a fine-grain (200 grit) sandpaper to smooth it out. For holes larger than an inch, use mesh tape and apply joint compound. Sand it when dry. Be sure all of your patches perfectly smooth because they will become even more noticeable with a color on top.
Pick the perfect paint.
You might be confused by the different paint finishes in the store. Here's a quick overview.
A primer is used to provide a protective layer. You would use a primer when you're painting over another color, particularly when applying a light color over a darker one, or over stained wood. However, many paints are available with a primer already blended in.
Satin has a matte finish, but will show imperfections in your walls.
Eggshell is a great go-to interior paint. It has a subtle shine and is easy to clean, perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and kids rooms. Eggshell paint can also cover with a single coat, unlike satin.
Semi-gloss is very durable and easy to clean. The shinier finish is usually the choice for trim, but you can use it wherever you want a bit more gloss in your space.
Don't skimp on tools.
The quality of the paint job will depend on more than your skill. The right painting tools are critical. Choose a roller cover that is designed for the surface you're painting. Take notice of the pile depth (the thickness) of the roller. Use a thicker cover for an uneven or textured surface and a thinner one for a smooth surface. A beveled edge on the roller cover will help to help with smoother blending (no ridge lines between rolls).
You'll also need a good brush for "cutting in", which refers to painting the edges of your wall (along the trim, in the corners, and up to the ceiling). An angled brush is great for this task. Again, invest in a good one so the bristles don't fall off and embed themselves in your fresh paint. For a few dollars more, a good brush will last much longer than an inexpensive one and cause a lot less frustration.
Watch for drips.
It's inevitable that droplets of paint will sneak in here and there. Pay attention as you work one area. After covering about 10 square feet, go back and look closely for drips. When you catch them before they dry, you can avoid sanding them, which might require a paint touch-up.
Keep a rag or damp paper towel handy so you can remove drips from places where they don't belong—like the floor, trim, and family pet.
Sample first, paint later.
A paint color that looks great in a photo may be a nightmare on your wall. Light can wreak havoc with your choice. Before you commit to a paint color, buy a sample. It's only a few dollars and so worth it! Paint the color on a couple of white poster boards. Put these painted samples in various areas of the room. See how the light affects it at different times of the day.
Beware of bumping the ceiling.
No matter how careful you are when painting the top of the wall, you will likely slip at some point and get paint on the ceiling. It's easy to touch up later with white paint, but you can also do your best to avoid it. Use a wide putty knife and press it in the seam between the ceiling and the wall while you're painting that area. This acts like painter's tape, providing a preventive barrier.
Don't paint out of the can.
An open can of paint is a recipe for disaster. Do you really want to be cleaning up a puddle of paint? Pour it into the paint tray or a smaller container and then tightly reseal the can.
Buy enough paint for the job.
You might think you're saving money by only buying a gallon at a time. But you also risk having mismatched paint when you rely on this guesswork. Benjamin Moore has a handy calculator for estimating the amount of paint required.
Remove the tape promptly.
When you wait too long to remove the painters tape, it might take some of the paint with it. If you take the tape off while the paint is still wet, you might end up with drips. For best results, remove the painters tape as soon as the paint is dry. Also, pull the tape slowly downward towards you at a 45-degree angle, not upwards toward the wall. In this way, you should end up with a nice, crisp line, without smears.
If your home needs more than a paint touch-up, it could be time for a new one. Blue Fern Homes builds energy-efficient, single-family homes and townhomes in the most desirable Seattle neighborhoods. Start fresh with more than a coat of paint!

Restaurant.com partnered with New York Times best-selling author Keith Ferrazzi to conduct a research project on fostering relationships of all varieties through dining.
The result was five conversation guides for various dining occasions, including family, friends, significant others, colleagues, and clients. Each week, we will be sharing one of those dining guides on The Dish, along with a real-world example of what the guides can do to improve relationships.
This week's guide is for friendships. If you try the guide with your own friends, let us know how it went in the comments section below.
Dining Out to Deepen Friendships
Alice was worried about her friend Paula. She was so unhappy with her office job and didn't have much else going on in her life that seemed to excite her. When Alice noticed a Facebook offer to participate in the new Ferrazzi Greenlight-Restaurant.com dining project, she decided to see if it might help her get into a productive career chat with her old buddy. Step one for Alice was flipping through the Greenlight Guide for Dining with Friends, a brief list of conversation starters and techniques aimed at building stronger friendships while eating out.
When the pair finally got seated in a private booth at a swank new restaurant they'd both been wanting to try, Alice started in with the first topic suggested by the Guide: She asked her friend to reveal something about herself that Alice might find surprising. And that it was: Paula was a painter! Alice had had no idea. Alice was frazzled and full of questions about Paula's paintings and why she had never shared this part of herself—but she tried to keep in mind the Guide's emphasis on listening. The story came out slowly, and giving Paula time to describe her passion ended up being rewarding for them both.
Next, following the Guide, Alice asked Paula what she wanted to accomplish in the coming year and how she, Alice, could support her in achieving it. Paula told her she'd been dreaming of having a gallery show—and agreed that Alice could be a big help by checking in with her from time to time to keep her on the ball with that. When Paula asked Alice the same question back, Alice told her that she too was feeling at a crossroads with her job (having just realized it while listening to Paula open up so) and what she really wanted was to take a vacation—with Paula.
It's adding this touch of "intentionality" into relationships that seems to make the difference with Greenlight Dining Project participants who have chosen to use it to eat out with friends. The idea is to go beyond routine check-ins and daily complaints to actually reassess our lives with the support of people we love and trust.
The Greenlight Dining Guides—which cover clients, colleagues, family, friends, and spouses—are a collaboration between Restaurant.com and Keith Ferrazzi, author of Never Eat Alone and chairman of myGreenlight Academy. To make the guides as useful as possible for Restaurant.com's users, Ferrazzi's expertise in relationship-building meal-time conversation is bolstered by other specialists in the field of psychology, relationships, and communication, including Veronica Berenstein, PhD; John Gottman, PhD; Mark Goulston, MD; Dave Joseph, LICSW; Ramdas Menon, CHt; and Ziggy Yoediano, MD, MBA. For more advice and guidance on developing fulfilling interpersonal relationships, check out Keith Ferrazzi's blog.

In this assignment I will be explaining which each of the different forms of communication are and describing them in more detail and giving examples of each one. In health and social care we need communication skills are vital for anyone who wants to work within this environment. One to one communication is basically one person communication with another person but nobody else will be joining in the conversation. Other ways of having a one to one communication could be sending an email to someone and them replying or instant messaging someone.
An example of having a one to one communication within health and Social care would be when a patient is talking to his/her doctor or a doctor talking to a patient's family. Group communication is harder than one to one communication skills because it only works properly if everyone within the group is communication. This is very hard because normally within a group there is people who talk a lot and some who rarely talk or sometimes people who do not talk at all. An example of group communication would be when people go to an AA meeting.
If you have no idea what an AA meeting is its Alcohol Anonymous so people who are alcoholics go to there to try and stop drinking. Formal communication is normally used by a professional. It is normally started with a polite greeting like "how are you today? " or "Good Morning" because they want to show respect to you. People normally use formal communication when in a meeting or a conference. In this type of communication using slang words or foul language like swearing is avoided and correct pronunciation is used.
The Term Paper on Mediated Communication Computer Group Social
... including group meeting sessions. However, one can question previous conceptions of de-individuation and its usefulness in assessing computer-mediated communication. ... such a marriage. Note also the difficulties that many people have in dealing with computer complexity, in particular senior ... function not dissimilar to the TALK or WRITE functions in Unix, for real-time communication. In such a medium, ...
An example of this would be if a staff member isn't working as good as they should be then the manager would have to give them a warning so they would have to use the correct use of wording so that they won't think they are getting fired. Informal Communication is normally used with people who you are close with or know very well like family, friends and boyfriends. Informal Communication is the opposite of formal communication. It is usually used when in face to face conversation with a friend or relative- a personally known person.
Informal communication is also used in e-mail, texts, and telephone conversations. An example of this would be in some areas it is common to call people love even though you have only just met them. verbal communication is using words to tell your ideas, thoughts and feelings. Good verbal communication skills are being able to express your ideas clearly through your words. An example of this is by showing video's you are helping the client to listen, by making hear a tape they are also listening, helping them to read books allows them to reading words and so on and understand them.
Non-verbal communication is sending out message without speaking. You can send messages using your eyes, the tone of your voice, facial expression, hands and arms, gestures, the angle of your head and body posture. Within a few seconds of meeting a service user most people will usually be able to what they are feeling. You will be able to tell if they are tired, happy, angry or sad even before they haven't said anything. You can tell what people are feeling by the use of body language. Now I will be explaining the non verbal messages which we send by using our bodies.
The ones I will be talking about are posture, gestures,facial expression, touch or contact, use of signs, symbols and pictures, objects of references, writing, technology aids. Voice tone is basically the way you say something. If you say something in a loud voice people may seem you as angry and if you say something in a calm voice it will show that you are friendly. An example of this would be if you say "Hello, are you having a good morning" then this will show that you are friendly. Posture is the way you sit or stand. Sitting with crossed arms normally means you're not taking any notice.
The Essay on Effective Listening Skills Listener Communication Person
Every business consists of a variety of communication activities such as listening, speaking, questioning, gathering and participating in small work groups. The listening skill is one of the most important aspects of communication process. It helps to understand and read the other person's message. Effective listening skills create positive workplace relationships which influence our opinions and ...
Leaning back can send the message that you are relaxed or bored which leaning forward means you are interested. Posture is the way you sit or stand. Sitting with crossed arms can mean you're not taking any notice. When you are leaning back can send the message that you are bored or not interested and when you are leaning forward it shows that you are interested in the conversation. An example in a health and social care setting would be when you are talking to a child at a school then you would be leaning forward to make sure the child knows you are interested in the conversation.
Gestures are hand and arm movements that can help us to understand what a person is saying. Some gestures carry a meaning of their own. When you do something that is a success most people will put their thumbs up and if you do something perfection most people will put one hand on their waist and do a circle with their hands. You can tell what a person is feeling or thinking by the way they have their eyes. Your eyes get wider when you are excited or attracted to someone. A fixed stare may send the message that someone is angry at the person who she/he is staring at.
When someone is looking away when they are talking to you it means they are not interested. Standing or sitting eye to eye can send a message of formality or hostility. A slight angle can create a more relaxed and friendly feeling. Touching another person during a conversation can send message of care, affection, power over them or sexual interest. Gestures made with hands or arms, written symbols or diagrams such as traffic signs all communicate message to people. Braille is a form of written language for the blind, in which characters are represented by patterns of raised dots that are felt with the fingertips.
The Essay on The Koran God People Message
The Koran The document "the Koran" is written through God's impact on people's present situation and their situation in the next world, which is called the revelation of God. Further revelations to Muhammad were copied word for word in what came to be the Que " an, or Koran. The message offered Arabs a faith founded on a book. The Koran also tells us that Muhammad was sent to all in order to ...
An example of braille being used in the health and social sector would be a blind person maybe reading a letter in braille sent from hospital concerning their health; they'd have to feel the dots to understand what has been written. Paintings, photographs, sculptures, architecture, ornaments and other household objects can communicate messages and emotions to people. People often take photographs or buy souvenirs to remind them of happy experiences they have had. Language does not have to be based on sounds that are hears.
Signing systems such as Sign Language provide a full language system for people who do not use spoken language. An example of sign language would be if someone needs help with their hearing difficulties. Written Communication is where someone talks by writing a letter or an email.

"Happiness and making money don't really go hand in hand."
<NYC> Evolve Cafe - Lower East Side
Spacious and open, this coffeeshop has a somewhat industrial feel to it, grey resin floors below and exposed-beam ceilings that have been painted up in a dancing swirl of abstract whorls and starbursts, a riot of colour splashed against a white background. The walls alternate between brick and cheerfully lime-green painted wood that extends to the paneling beneath the brushed-steel countertops. There's an abundance of light, though rather than windows (which are scarce) it comes from plentiful hanging steel lamps. The walls here are home to artwork available for sale; though the roster of prints and paintings and drawings and photographs changes on a regular basis it has one thing in common -- all the artists displayed are mutants.
The seating spaced around the room is spread out enough to keep the room from feeling cluttered. Black chairs, square black tables that mostly seat two or four though they're frequently pushed around and rearranged to make space for larger parties. In the back corner of the room is more comfortable seating, a few large black-corduroy sofas and armchairs with wide tables between them. There's a shelf of card and board games back here available for customers to sit and play.
The chalkboard menus hanging behind the counter change frequently, always home to a wide variety of drinks (with an impressive roster of fair-trade coffees and teas largely featured) though their sandwiches and wraps and soups and snacks of the day change often. An often-changing variety of baked goods sit behind the display case at the counter halfway back in the room, and the opposite side of the counter holds a small selection of homemade ice creams. A pair of single-user bathrooms flanks the stairway in back of the cafe; at night, the thump of music can be heard from above, coming from the adjoining nightclub of the same name that sits up the stairs above the coffeehouse.
The weather outside isn't frightful, but it is chilly and suddenly rainy and overall pretty gross. To contrast, Evolve cafe also doesn't have a delightful fire, but it is warm and bright and somewhat crowded with people looking for shelter from the weather. Sarah is one of those people, settled into the corner of one of the couches in the back of the cafe.
She's dressed to fight the weather in a soft pink sweatshirt that has 'Be Nice or Leave' in swirly font surrounded by roses on the front, and black jeans with oversized dandelion puffs drawn in bleach pen around the calves. Her usual purple combat boots are on the floor under her, her legs crisscrossed in her seat. The rest of her leans forward, arms crossed on the table, chin resting on top of them while she focuses on a battered black laptop. (The back of it, unsurprisingly, is covered in a wealth of colorful stickers that look like they came from quarter machines.) There's a cup of cocoa still cooling closeby, along with a small notebook with a few notes in almost childish writing.
In stark contrast to the usual put-together and dapper outfits he's been in the past months, Leo looks bedraggled as he enters the warmth of the cafe. His jeans are sodden, his thin sweater probably adequate before the rain started but doing nothing but ensuring the cold clings to him now that it's drenched. His damp hair is both mussed and flattened -- thanks, likely, to the matte mint green bike helmet that's clipped to the messenger bag he has slung over his shoulder. He stops by the counter to get himself cocoa of his own together with a bowl of soup, and though at first he starts taking these off to a table by himself he hesitates then -- pauses a while -- bites his lip. Detours towards he back, shifting slightly from one foot to the other while he nods to the far corner of Sarah's couch. "Hello." His voice is quiet -- the intermittent chattering of his teeth almost louder than his words. "Do you mind if I join you?"
Sarah looks up curiously at the greeting, her expression quickly changing to concern as she takes Leo's state in. "Oh! Hi, no. Go for it, I don't mind," she tells him, looking around for a moment as if a blanket or towel might suddenly appear. Finally she just pulls a very large black hoodie from where it was stuffed between her and the arm of the couch, offering it to Leo. "Here, you can use this to dry off. Are you okay?"
"Oh, I'm fine." Leo sets his drink and soup down first, then unhooks his bag from his shoulder to let it drop to the floor. His sweater is next; the deep blue polo beneath rides up as he tugs it off and he smooths it fussily down into some semblance of neatness afterwards. Folds the sweater in half to drape it over the arm of the sofa as he perches himself on its edge. "I just didn't expect to be out as late as I was. I thought I'd beat the rain home and -- well." His head dips, a very slight darker tinge to his cheek as he gestures to himself. "Obviously that was poor judgment. Are you, um, sure?" He reaches his hand out toward the hoodie, but only very tentatively. "I don't want to get your stuff wet. It's cold out."
"Go ahead, I'll be fine." Sarah holds the hoodie out a bit farther with a small smile. "You might get sick or something if you don't dry off, you know?" She's never been sure if that was an old wive's tale or not, but better safe than sorry. "And it's hard to get warm in wet clothes, trust me. How have you been?"
"Thank you." Leo is still a bit hesitant, but takes the hoodie, pressing the soft dry fabric to his damp chilled skin before hugging it to his chest. "I'm --" He pauses, his brows slowly knitting in thought. When he finally comes back with, "I'm good," it sounds like the answer surprises him. "New York is -- I think it's growing on me. How about you?"
Sarah's smile grows at Leo's surprise. "New York seems to have a way of doing that," she nods, reaching for her cup of cocoa, blowing across the top of it once it's close enough. "I'm glad you're settling in. I've just been, you know. Working." This is said with a bored shrug. "Trying to figure out what to do." She takes a cautious sip from her cup, a pleased sound escaping her after.
"I didn't really expect to. I wouldn't have chosen it. It was so overwhelming at first, and --" Leo shakes his head slowly. His arms tighten against the sweatshirt. "What do you want to do? You seem good at the -- the art. Thing. Do you like that?"
She thinks about Leo's reaction to her showing up on the Lofts rooftop. "It can be overwhelming too, yeah. But it seems like you've adjusted pretty well." Sarah offers him another, softer smile. "Thanks for coming to sit with me." Taking another sip of her cocoa, it's her turn to look thoughtful while she considers Leo's question. "I can't imagine not drawing," she slowly answers after a moment. "My first real memory is me drawing something. But making it into a career..." She says the word career as if it's from an alien language. "I like to draw because it makes me happy. And it makes other people happy sometimes, too. Happiness and making money don't really go hand in hand."
"I'm trying. To adjust. I have dogs now," Leo tells Sarah earnestly. "I -- well, they aren't my dogs. I walk dogs. But they're good dogs. That helps. The money helps, too." He unclenches his arms -- his shivering has calmed, now. He reaches for his soup, cupping his long fingers around it and holding it up beneath his chin as it steams. "I guess you might start hating it, then. What kind of jobs can give you time to still draw?"
"Dogs are great helpers. So's money, but dogs are so much better. Do you have any pictures of them?" Sarah sets her cup down and gestures toward her laptop, which is still open to what appear to be job listings. "I'm looking for a second real job right now at a bakery. I have some experience there. Sometimes I think having my own bakery might be nice, but that doesn't exactly leave you with a lot of free time either, I guess? Also it kinda feels like opening a Starbucks or something. New York already has, like, a million bakeries."
Leo nods, quick and eager. He wriggles a cellphone out of his pocket, setting his soup in his lap as he unlocks it. "No," his expression has gone just a little bit distant. "You don't have a lot of free time at a bakery at all." He opens his camera app, scrolling through the gallery. "You don't need to open a bakery to do baking, though. Jackson sells his desserts here. Local coffeeshops and groceries often buy from independent bakers. I'm sure you still need a kitchen that passes health code inspection, though. Here," he's adding this with no pause, tipping the screen towards Sarah to show a tiny beagle puppy staring dubiously at a flight of stairs, "this is Biscuit, she isn't good at legs yet. And here," an enormous bloodhound snuffling at the head of a much smaller scruffy wire-haired mutt, "are Chance and Mita, they are very good friends. There's more. You can scroll."
"That's true. Maybe I should talk to Jax about how he goes about doing that. Thanks, Leo." Any talk of jobs leaves Sarah's mind with a gasp as Leo shows her the picture of Biscuit. The one of Chance and Mita has her hands rising to cup her own cheeks around a smile. "What sweet babies! They're so cute!" She unpeels a hand from her face to take the phone, scrolling through with growing delight, taking mental pictures to draw later. "I love them. Please tell them I love them the next time you take them for a walk? Has Biscuit started baying yet?"
"She bays at -- not always helpful things but she's trying her best." Leo settles back with his soup, finally tucking in hungrily. "The dogs are really wonderful. Trying to keep the schedules straight and dealing with the humans is a little more exhausting." He tilts his head thoughtfully to one side, looking at Sarah for a moment. "The actual time commitment isn't terrible, though. I bet you could take care of pets and still have time for drawing."
"Really?" Sarah asks as she hands the phone back, excited by the prospect. "I do really love dogs. I have a cat at home and he is my spoiled baby, but there are not exactly cat parks I can bring him to. Is there an Uber for dogwalkers or something?" She picks up her notebook and pencil to scrawl two hurried notes - 'independent baking - Jax' and 'dog walker'. Tiny doodles of cupcakes and pawprints quickly go beside them.
"There is one. I've been using it but it's, kind of awful. I don't know if I can just -- start asking my clients once they know me better. If they want to just be clients... off the app." Leo stirs at his soup, flicking a thoughtful glance to Sarah. "I bet working with other people you could do -- better than the app, too."
Sarah leans forward to pull her laptop a bit closer to type something in the search bar. "Thank you. I think that really depends on how the other people act, though." After a few clicks, she turns the laptop toward Leo and points at the screen, where 'Petsitter.com' is pulled up. "Have you used this any? It says they have dog walking too. Maybe you could use this along with the app? I wouldn't want to lose a client as cute as Biscuit, either."
It's her turn to glance thoughtfully at Leo. "Could you send me the picture of Biscuit looking at the steps, if it's no trouble? It would be a cute drawing."
Leo glances up quickly -- just as quickly, back down. "No, I -- um." His brows furrow, his shoulders tightening slightly. He takes a hasty mouthful of his soup, his fingers tight around the handle of his spoon. "There's a lot of places that, um. It's hard for me to -- to get hired. I had some help figuring out the hoops for this but a lot of the sites --" His shrug is quick, and a little jerky. He eases back into a small smile at the question, unlocking his phone again but then pausing with a slight widening of his eyes. "I don't -- have your number or anything."
"Oh, okay." Only blinking, Sarah turns her laptop back toward herself. "I'll let you know if I find anything that can let you work around that, if you'd like?" She grabs her notebook again, turning to a fresh page to scribble a number under it. "I mean, I hope you don't have my number," she answers with a cheerful smile, tearing the page out to hand it over. "I haven't given it to you yet."
"Right, no. Of course." Leo's cheeks darken as he takes the paper, entering the number quickly into his phone. A text comes through shortly after, with the picture attached. "It kind of sounds like if you do find any flexible work situations, maybe you should be taking them."
"Thanks." The grin Sarah shoots down at her phone fades some, a slow shrug rolling her shoulders. "Maybe?" she says hesitantly, awkward. "But I can... use those websites. And finding work when you aren't supposed to be working or whatever is..." She shrugs again. "I don't mind passing info on if I see something. If it helps."
Leo's blush spreads further. He settles back into the couch, offering Sarah's now-damp sweatshirt back with an apologetic look. "Thanks." His voice is quiet, his attention dropping back to his soup with a great deal more investment than before. "And I hope you find something that works for you, too."

The advantage of electric vehicles: You can charge your vehicle almost anywhere – at home using your home power, the optional wall box, parking spaces with charging stations, many Volkswagen partners and other car dealerships, and plenty of filling stations – and there are more and more options every single day.Travelling to work in the morning, dropping the kids off at school on the way and coming home at night – you should be able to take care of this with just one charge. Each of the three potential battery sizes for the ID.3 can handle this no problem.
The optional AR Head-up Display sends useful information straight into the windscreen's field of vision, making driving easier for you. It shows you where to turn or which lane you should take with the directions being projected onto the windscreen and on the tarmac. The ID.Light communicates with you visually and makes it easier for you to navigate through traffic, together with the optional navigation system. It uses a light and flashing direction indicator to recommend you change lanes. It can also warn you and help you navigate your way out of the situation if you find yourself in the wrong lane.
The ID.3 recognises you when you approach the vehicle with the key with the optional 'Keyless Advanced' locking and starting system. The stylish optional Matrix LED headlights light up briefly as if they were winking at you, making the ID.3 seem almost human. The ID.Light inside makes you feel welcome immediately. When you start, the vehicle makes a little sound to get you in the mood to get started. When you leave your ID.3, the ID.Light says goodbye with a light signal.

My wife and I have spent many a happy moment with William Shakespeare at the Ashland Shakespearean Festival in Oregon, something we have been doing for over 35 years now. As always I was drawn into to his wild and fanciful stories and coming back into my own reality only when the actors bid ado and exited the stage. Where I go when they begin, I do not know for it seems as though I'm always there even though the "there" seems to be somewhere else– a secret dream-like place.
I've also found that there's a secret place deep inside each of us that speaks in images, not words, and in sounds that aren't really heard. It is a knowing unlearned from the pages of a book or the ministrations of a teacher that never gets old for it is always discovered anew. It is a mystery place, an inner school, and library of wisdom.
Some mistakenly imagine it to be a result of past experience interacting with present events, but look closely and you will see that this is not so. For this mysterious part of our self speaks from more than just the debris of our past or the confusing chaos's of our present or some previously scripted story from some offstage deity. This is the almost soundless voice of our true-self whispering its guidance while we sleep– asleep as we walk through our days, asleep as we lay our heads upon our beds.
We are "Sleepers" you and I and for a brief moment in time we disappear into the mystery story that we call life. We become transfixed with the images conjured through its living text and forget it is but a story.
And oh what a story! We create fantastical tales full of intrigue, emotion, and plot twists with multiple beginnings and ends that we've stitched into a Dream Book of ideas that arc towards a promised resolution and an ending that never really materializes. We ache with the main character as they rush headlong into the plot searching for the promised grail– the answers that will bring them to the stories' monumental and mind-expanding conclusion.
Then we wake up and leave the stage.

What are the five traits that make a great egg donor? After more than 17 years helping match egg donors and intended parents, we've identified five personality traits all egg donor candidates seem to have in common, and we've shared these traits with you below.
Responsibility. Great egg donors demonstrate responsibility through each step in the egg donation journey. They respond promptly to phone calls and emails, and attend their appointments as requested. They don't need to be asked to do something more than once, and if medical instructions are confusing, they ask questions. They develop relationships with their medical coordinators and nursing team members, and without a doubt, they become memorable for their responsibility and their passion in helping others.
Compassion. Empathy and understanding are altruistic traits that make a great egg donor and we regularly see stand out when helping egg donors through the various aspects of the egg donation process. Great egg donors recognize the joy and delight of the family building process, and are fully invested in helping a hopeful couple bring life into the world.
Maturity. Women who have traits that make a great egg donor show a high level of maturity in life. They are aware that their decision to donate places new responsibilities on them, and that their decision will change the life of a family forever.
Dependability. Great egg donors are dependable. They understand there's a lot riding on an egg donation cycle and in all the details that must come together through the egg donation process.
Flexibility. Egg donation is certainly a science, but unfortunately, the human body doesn't always follow textbook cases and respond as is customary. As a result, sometimes an egg donor's medical protocol must be changed – an appointment, a request for more appointments than originally planned, as well as being asked to undergo an egg retrieval earlier or later than anticipated. Having flexibility and the ability to "go with the flow" goes a long way in having a positive experience, and is another one of the key egg donor traits that embodies a successful egg donor.
If you find the egg donor traits outlined above describe you – responsibility, compassion, maturity, dependability, and flexibility – chances are you'd make a great egg donor!
