Incredible Ease has lymphoma cancer and is officially in the stem cell program in the United States. This has been a very long process for Incredible Ease and his family. Ease went through Cancer treatment in Canada but as he is an American… citizen he was not covered by medical. His bills became too high, his family was not able to keep up as the cost of cancer treatment is very high, eventually Ease was cut off of treatment. Thus fundraising began.
A family has opened up their doors to Ease and are donating a room in their house so Ease has a place to live while going through treatment. He receives home cooked meals and transportation to and from appointments. This has been a tremendous help. However bills still come in and Ease and his family continue to struggle.
Funds raised will go towards Ease's medical bills in Canada to help alleviate the stress of those bills on his family and also to help towards whatever incidental expenses while he is in the United States. We would also like to give back to the family that so generously opened their doors to Ease. Expenses will also go towards travel for his family (wife and daughter) to come from Canada for visits. They use Greyhound as their main transportation source.
We hope to see you all out at the next event. It's a great way to donate to Ease and to support your local artists! Keep informed by liking our page
Much love!
We all thank you for any donation given. No donation is too small. You can send your donations to Ease's PayPal account at email@example.com
The Krispy Bisket Family thanks Shaun Bocking, Michael Oakes, Andrew Naysmith & Max Knight for all their support, hard work, dedication and guidance with these fundraisers.
THE INCREDIBLE EASE AKA PUERTO ROCK PAPI! Raised in Paterson NJ during the birth of Hip Hop. He toured the world in the US NAVY CVN 70. They made 2 successful Westpac's & one of the first NORPACS. After honorable discharge, Ease went to work for BOEING in Everett WA (pre-flight/delivery/flight line lead & 747-400 line.) Ease teamed up with musical prodigy Quaze/Stan Sly /Quazedelic to release several singles and records. Taped for radio by DJ Kilocee in the 90's. Krispy Bisket co-op radio 102.7 had Incredible Ease and DJ Kilocee teaming up to bring underground radio what it had been missing - REAL HipHop! They had this radio show for 8 years. Now almost 15 years later this epic team find themselves back on the radio scene broadcasting live on Saturday nights from 12am to 2am on CJSF 90.1FM SFU radio. Bringing the same skills as "back in the co-op days."

"The concept holds true across all areas of the musical world, but for underground and forward-thinking electronic music especially, it seems like a natural step to take matters into your own hands and create an autonomous platform for yourself. The Internet has always made this a more tangible possibility for musicians, and there is an element to the role of many a DJ and electronic artist in their constant search for sonic progression that seems intrinsic to the ever-changing face of this medium. Vancouver's Chapel Sound collective are a prime example of how a cyber-connected world – what some might consider to be an alienating societal development – can be used instead to foster a musical community.
Broadcasting a weekly live video stream every Wednesday from their chapelsound.com website, the group describe themselves as "a collective of artists who've come from a variety of backgrounds and joined together in Vancouver to push creative expression forward without boundaries or prejudice." The website and weekly show is a simple but effective setup – a webcam view of a living room shows a variety of people trading positions behind turntables for the duration of an evening, with the music travelling the breadth of the realm of IDM and cerebral beat music and its influences. Whilst to some the webcam element might seem a superfluous addition to what is primarily a musical venture, the explosive worldwide popularity of the Boiler Room platform suggests that the video element helps a geographically scattered audience to connect. "The live stream element was very much…"

AstroLogical - Behind You (feat. Kapok)
Astrological - "Truthseeker" LP OUT NOW!
"Truthseeker LP is the new full length album from Jellyfish's own, AstroLogical aka. Nate Drobner. As the seventh solo release in his growing catalog, Truthseeker is a collection of hypnotic jazz/funk hip-hop beats, full of Fender Rhodes, subby basslines, Dilla-influences, and touches of psychedelia. The album is nearly entirely comprised of samples (with the exception of Passage), and features Vancouver rapper Kapok (of the Indigo Kids), and A-Ro of Elekwent Folk. Collaborations with fellow Jellyfish mainstay Nick Wisdom (of Potatohead People) & Denmark-based producer Galimatias also appear. Have a glass of absinthe (or whatever mind expanding tools you prefer) and enjoy the uniquely cosmic sounds that AstroLogical continues to consistently pump out. 2013 is looking bright already."

Nick Clegg was visited by an angel who showed him what things would be like if he'd never been born, and nothing was worse, and the streets were filled with eternal summer sunshine and the peals of children's laughter, and Nick Clegg offered to kill himself but the angel said that wasn't going to help, because the damage has already been done if you think about it, hasn't it Nick? Hasn't it? Nick?
Nick Clegg tried to pay you in exact change, but you pointed out that one of his coins was Canadian, and he had no other way to pay, so you made him put his one item back on the shelf.
Nick Clegg asked if you'd ever experienced true love, and you said "yes, of course", and then there was a pause, and you said "why, haven't you?", and he said "oh yes me too obviously", but then just stared into space for a while.
Nick Clegg thought he'd bought still water, but it was really sparkling water, and he wasted an hour shaking it to get all of the bubbles out.
Nick Clegg watched his children open their presents and smiled as he saw the love and joy written across their faces, but that only made him realise that the rest of his year is unrelenting woe and that everyone he's ever loved will die.
Nick Clegg felt the interconnectedness of all people and things; he moved his fingertips and felt the atoms swoosh around them; he saw society as a miraculous network held together by love, in which all things were possible and all people unique and special; but it was all just the funny smoke he'd breathed in at the garage.
Nick Clegg was shaving with his electric razor, but the power ran out halfway and he couldn't find the charger, so he had to go to the shops with half a beard.
Nick Clegg got you a £20 gift voucher for Christmas, and then he opened his present from you, and it was a £10 voucher to the same shop.
Nick Clegg walked through a door, and he instinctively held it open for a woman walking in his direction, but then he remembered that the door was the one to the men's toilets, so he had to pretend that he'd not been doing that at all.
Nick Clegg watched an old film and saw a woman in it who he found very attractive and hoped that someday the two of them might meet, but then he realised that by now she'd either be too old for them to really share a connection, or dead.

Steve Harris, membre fondateur du célèbre groupe de Hard Rock Iron Maiden, a inspiré bon nombre de bassistes actuels. 20 ans après ses débuts, sa technique et sa rapidité font toujours merveilles.

This bass is absolutely fantastic. The tone is amazing, and the sound it has is unmatched by any bass I've heard. It may be a bass made for playing metal, but I've played loads of jazz, classic rock and even some classical, this bass can do it all. The build quality is fantastic, the sparkle blue finish looks incredible, and the strings are absolutely sexy. The only two problems I've had with it are, the mirror pickguard gets covered in fingerprints super easily, and if you sweat a lot, it will show on the chrome. The only other problem is that it's really heavy, and depending on how long your playing, it can kill your back.
But besides those two problems I've loved everything about the Steve Harris bass, it's truly a one of a kind instrument. Two thumbs up!
TheBassGuy owns this item
This is an excellent quality P Bass and produces a solid tone especially since it's a passive bass. The neck is quite chunky but has a great feel and good playability. Considering it's a single pickup bass it can produce a great range of tones by varying playing technique and using the passive tone.
This is a great instrument and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great P Bass- oh yeah... and it looks absolutely stunning!
Samatza owns this item
It´s the one i like best to play on of my 9 basses!
The neck, the strings and the sound is really mindblowing! The neck is quite thick, but feels great anyway!
I´ve never played another passive 4 string with such power in the low end!
It´s needed 4 adjustements but now it´s perfect! (But we have cold and dry winters in Sweden and it could be the reason for this)
The only disadvantage is the weight. 4,7Kg is too much for me if I need to play standing up more than 2 hours.
It would be great to have 2 active tone controls and switchable between passive and active mode on this bass, but then it wouldn´t be a Steve Harris replica.
Kallekatt owns this item
The bass its simply amazing, the steve bass have a great tone, amazing custom design, and a beautiful steel sound.
Silvafender93 owns this item
I've owned the Steve Harris P Bass since 2009 (the year it was introduced) The workmanship & construction of this bass is excellent , The sound of the Seymour Duncan SP1 pickups is full & deep the neck is thick & has a chunky feel, the Steve Harris Signature strings that come strung on this bass are the cherry on top of the cake, This is a great sounding & great playing bass.
James Coderre owns this item
I've been playing bass for 30 years and this bass is by far the best one I have owned. I kicked myself regularly after selling my Fender P-Bass in my 20's. I finally decided another P-Bass was in order and I couldn't pass up the signature version from the artist that got me into playing bass in the first place. The sound from this bass is incredible. The fingerboard is smooth as glass. It is a beefy bass so you'll want to pair it with a nice wide strap, otherwise you will surely feel the weight of this monster. I put the Steve Harris signature strings on it to round it out and can't be happier.

Black unemployment in the multiracial small business industry
Black unemployment in the multiracial small business industry
Tamara K. Nopper
January 13, 2011
A while back, my colleague, an African American college professor, and I were discussing Black unemployment in conversation with one of my areas of research, immigrant and minority-owned business. She recounted a recent visit to a Dunkin' Donuts in which she was pleasantly surprised to encounter a middle-aged African American man working at the store. As she described, she pointed to this man as she thanked the manager of the store, a South Asian American, "for hiring him." When I asked what the manager's reaction was, she told me he beamed instantly in response as if he was paid the highest compliment. She also mentioned that the African American worker later whispered to her the same reply as expressed by his manager—"thank you."
This story may seem odd for several reasons. For one, it is difficult to imagine a white person walking into a business and thanking a manager (of any race) for hiring a fellow white person. Second, when conversations about race and employment are discussed, a job working at Dunkin' Donuts is not generally treated as the ideal opportunity by policy makers and advocates. But let's consider the significance of this story in relation to several issues: the crisis of Black unemployment, the increasing reliance on small business as a source of employment, and the growing number of non-Black people of color and immigrants in positions to hire employees in small firms.

As a poet, Ensing came to prominence as editor of the first substantial anthology of New Zealand poetry by women, Private Gardens (1977). Since then, she's published eleven volumes of poetry. In her Talking Pictures: Selected Poems, University of Otago Emeritus Professor of English, Dr. Lawrence Jones comments, "Ensing has her own voice and eye and frame of reference in her poetry, and the Dutch origins are a significant factor in this uniqueness, contributing a European quality which has made an increasingly rich mix with a range of New Zealand (and other) elements."
The effect of her European childhood is most evident in poems which, while astutely scrutinizing the past, pay honour to history and to learning from its mistakes ('Day of Remembrance: The Ancestors', 'War Biography'). This is also apparent in her rich, deep readings of these poems, for her delivery is more stylistically consistent with European poets than New Zealanders. The past, remembering and paying tribute to it, also plays an integral role in poems devoted to lineage and multicultural observations of history ('Finding the Ancestor', 'Crossings'). As she writes in 'Crossings', a poem about the waters edging New Zealand and their resident taniwha (legendary Maori monster), "Here history is close./ You hear it in the rhythms of wind roaming/ where dark meets light and sea joins earth/ in celebration of journeys, the pathos of space/ where the heart lies."
Thematically, Ensing's poems also touch upon the act of writing ('Poem', 'Life'), the spiritual landscape of Aotearoa New Zealand ('Birds Passing the Night'), childhood and domesticity ('To Robbie Who Is Five and a Half'), and the inclusion of other cultural customs and literatures ('Shoah', 'Day of Remembrance: The Ancestors'). Ensing's arresting readings of these poems pay close attention to their details. From chrysanthemums in 'Life' to the paspalum, lichen and freesias in 'Finding the Ancestors' and her references elsewhere to wind, rain, sky, fauna, ocean, moon and stars, Ensing chronicles New Zealand's simple beauty, while registering the politically fractious Europe she left when she was twelve.

Like I said in DA for the first, the hand on the hip is angles up too much as if it's broken.
For this sketch, that particular kicking pose looks really strange. I myself have never seen anyone kick like that, it seem a little unlogical (?) and considering where the guy being kicked's feet are, the one kicking must've been REALLY close to him (unless he got a running start, but with that pose, it would really really hard to get a running start into that pose)

Subbing for inspiration, while working on my Compact "contract".
post #101 of 237
1/13/07 at 7:42pm
Our policy is- wait two weeks on almost all purchases- then put them on "the list" and search for used. If used cant be found- then buy as responsibly as possible.
Ds turned 2 years old today, so the urge to go out and buy him something for his birthday was too much.
Question for the compacting mommas - I'm not technically compacting, but I am trying to mostly do it. So I'm getting my son's room set and decorated. I want to avoid buying anything new. Curious what folks consider part of the compact.
Anyway, today I felt like I needed to go out and buy him something else so he would have more to open this evening, even though my parents and grandparents gave him gifts (haven't quite figured out how to tell the family not to buy *stuff* on birthdays and Christmas; not that they would listen anyway). I kept telling myself, he doesn't *need* anything. He'll have fun eating cake, and opening the few gifts he is getting and he'll like what he gets. He did, of course!
But what about say one sold by someone who bought it for her son but never used it? Would that be within the compact? ... Just typing this up brings up the question in my mind about transporting used items - do you buy used things online? How far would you drive to be able to get something used?
When you do need something 'new' (to you) where do you usually get it?
Just curious:
What, so far, has been your best "Compact" Find?
For me ... I think that second-hand new is just fine. (You know ... grandma buys a train bedding set for her grandbaby but he doesn't need it so the mom sells it on EBay.) The reason why I think it is compactable is that buying second-hand new doesn't feed the consumerism machine like buying new from a store does.

'I know many of you have traveled a long way to be a part of this very important conference: Health Action 2008. I would like to especially acknowledge those of you here from
'Thank you for the opportunity to join you in honoring the Frost family. This past September, we all saw the courage the Frost family had, speaking truth to power to insure 10 million children through SCHIP. But those bent on thwarting our efforts tried to defame the Frost family instead of listening to their message.
'Graeme and Gemma advocated for all of
'That health care must translate into a healthier
'In that regard, I am holding ongoing meetings with leaders from medicine, public policy, grassroots organizing, academia, and the business community on the subject of health and health care.
'Let me be clear: universal access to affordable health care is a fundamental right and our overarching principle.
'When we talk about universal access, we must be clear what we are talking about. The experts agree, all Americans must have universal access to the best research, quality and personalized care, and prevention.
'Together, we must create a healthier
'In regard to the significance of biomedical research in creating a healthier
'This year, we will spend about $5.5 billion on total cancer research, or the cost of about two weeks of the war in
'Where there is scientific opportunity, we have a moral responsibility to invest in it. And when we do so, we have a national responsibility to make its benefits available to all Americans. This progress belongs to the American people and Americans all have a right to benefit from it.
'Essential to a healthier
'We also have to make sure the health care field attracts and retains the finest minds and the most compassionate hearts. We need to support the education of doctors, nurses and other health professionals with more faculty and coordinated education across disciplines. Better teams provide better care.
'To provide quality care, it must be personalized to the individual. Right now, too many Americans are being treated with a 'one size fits all' approach to medicine.
'Research tells us that only 42% of Americans with diabetes receive state of the art treatment. 21% receive poor treatment and 30% of American with diabetes receive no treatment at all.
'Of all the women diagnosed with breast cancer, over half receive some form of chemotherapy, hormonal therapy or both. This treatment is toxic and in some cases not necessary. By targeting chemotherapy treatment to the 15-30% of women who will have a recurrence, we will reduce unnecessary exposure to toxicities and save women from unnecessary suffering. Personalized care is the wave of the future. The science and technology are there, and by making it universally available, we are creating a healthier
'Essential to establishing a healthier American is aggressive community outreach.
'We cannot continue to permit minorities to be more likely than others to lack health insurance, receive lower-quality care, and suffer from worse health outcomes. We must reduce these disparities.
'Today, some 1,100 Community Health Centers have committed themselves to providing high-quality, affordable primary health care to more than 16 million people nationwide, regardless of their ability to pay, in more than 6,000 communities. All are welcomed equally and served with professionalism and excellence.
'Supporting community health centers and offering loan forgiveness to encourage doctors to practice in areas that need better medical care are just two examples of how to reach into communities, but they cannot be the only ways.
'Our current system of care is based on managing acute sickness on an episodic basis -- a costly and unsustainable approach.
'For a healthier
'A new focus on prevention through Medicare can improve health for
'We need to transition our places of education,
'A healthier
'This year, Congress will pass the Kennedy-Ramstad mental health parity bill. It will help ensure that individuals with mental health illnesses, and addictions are given the attention, treatment, and resources they need to live a healthy life.
'This is an issue of national importance. In a given year, about one in four adult Americans suffer from a mental disorder, resulting in 1.3 billion lost days of work or school. There is more lost productivity for mental illness than arthritis, stroke, heart attack and cancer combined.
'If we insure mental illness like any other medical disease, Americans will get the lifesaving treatment they need.
'This will be especially important to our returning veterans from
'With our brave men and women in uniform first in mind, this year we added $6.6 billion to our veterans health budget - the largest increase in the 77 year history of the VA.
'Now I will end where I began - with our efforts to insure 10 million American children through SCHIP.
'As recently as yesterday, even with the bipartisan coalitions you helped to build, we couldn't override the opposition of the President. To make matters worse, he has unilaterally, by executive order, issued directives that will make it even harder for children to be insured.
'The choice couldn't be clearer: for the cost of 40 days in
'This fight is not over. We will never give up until every eligible child is insured through SCHIP.
'It is as Speaker, and as a mother, that I come here today to join you in demanding a healthier
'We have millions of health care providers in
'Families know that a healthier
'And families know that a healthier
'Above all, Families USA knows. Thank you Ron Pollack! Thank you Families USA!'

Temperate House restoration project
Help Kew restore the historic Temperate House
Help Kew renew this historic glasshouse today (closed for restoration until 2018)
Opened in 1863, the Temperate House is the largest surviving Victorian glasshouse in the world. From August 2013, Kew is undertaking a vital five year restoration project, costing £34.3 million. The project will restore the Temperate House and its surrounding landscape, and convert the adjoining Evolution House into a world class public engagement centre.
We still need to raise £1 million
Play your part in saving our heritage.
Whether you visit the Gardens and the Temperate House regularly, or haven't yet had an opportunity to visit, you can still play a part in saving this historic glasshouse.
Help us preserve Kew's unique heritage for future generations.
Our vision
The Temperate House will be fully restored in five years.
This vital restoration project includes:
- Restoration of the Temperate House building
- Restructuring the horticultural displays
- Rejuvenating the existing historic botanical collection
- Setting up a community outreach programme, apprenticeship scheme and volunteer programme
- Creating a new arm to Kew's schools education programme, encouraging children and young people to learn more about plants and climate change
Latest update
One of the last palms being moved out of the Temperate House
The Temperate House is twice the size of the Palm House, covering an area of 4,880 m², making it the largest glasshouse in the world!
This historic glasshouse embodies all that Kew's about – our rich heritage, our world class plant collections and the importance of plants to people's lives.
With thanks
Kew would like to thank the Heritage Lottery Fund, Defra, Eddie and Sue Davies, The Garfield Weston Foundation, The Wolfson Foundation, J Paul Getty Jr Charitable Trust and other supporters of this vital restoration project.

Here's an opportunity for a philanthropist to do something worthwhile, or for a company to earn public relations benefits:
After the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, Americans were both determined to prevail in World War II and, at the same time, concerned. A much-needed morale boost was provided when, on April 18, 1942, 80 U.S. fliers led by Lt. Col. "Jimmy" Doolittle bombed the Japanese homeland.
Just five of the Doolittle raiders remain alive. On April 17-20, they will hold a reunion in Dayton, Ohio.
Events honoring the men are planned at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. Officials there are hoping to find funding to fly in a few old B-25 bombers, like the raiders used, for the event.
If you can help, please do so. It's little enough to do for the last five Doolittle raiders.

Great place. Location is fine if you go by car - very close to a highway. Otherwise there's a public bus but it's nearly (or actually) outside the city. Perfect for relaxation. I was together with 3 other people and we didn't miss anything. The owners are very friendly and speak at least English and German.

Hi Everyone,
Just want to ask a question that has been bothering me for quite some time:
Although I have read it many times that Apple can block the x-sim solutions if they please I would like to ask how? I understand that some of the cheaper cards all use the same ICCID and that apple could easily block that ICCID and they would stop working, but the stealthsim uses the operator code of att and then the rest of the numbers on your sim. So the first numbers are for at and t and then the rest are off your sim card making a "unique" iccid. Since every stealthsim user has a seperate iccid how can they block its use? Am I missing a piece of the puzzle?
edit: I did a little bit more research and am unsure but believe it would be done with the IMSI, although im not 100 percent sure.

Manchester United experienced a slump after legendary manager Sir Matt Busby resigned in 1969.
But United legend Denis Irwin does not believe the Red Devils' dominance will decline even after Sir Alex Ferguson, another legendary manager, eventually retires.
The former left-back (above, left) said the 19-time champions are "stable" enough to survive the transition, although he concedes that would be a "big moment" for the club.
Irwin is in Singapore as part of the defending champions' trophy tour and attended several events on Friday.

Philippines: ringing in the changes with new mining bill
Filing the Minerals Management Bill at Congress, Philippines.Although the law was eventually declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, the decision was overturned less than a year later. The history of that case mirrors the continuing proclivity of successive administrations to act against their better judgment once the so-called profits of mining are brought into the picture.
The easy access of mining companies into indigenous peoples' lands and ancestral domains, and the controversy over mining in watersheds and other protected areas, stand in stark contrast to the promised rewards. In the Philippines, the Marcopper disaster in Marinduque is one of the most notorious examples: more than three million tons of toxic sludge were released into the Boac River in 1996 when a drainage tunnel burst, rendering the river biologically dead.
Working collaboratively, civil society, including Friends of the Earth Philippines, has helped to develop and promote a new Minerals Management Bill, which seeks to scrap the present Mining Act of 1995.
The bill, formally filed by a number of Representatives on 1 December 2010, seeks the conservation of non-renewable mineral resources for the benefit of both present and future generations of Filipinos by adopting a sustainable, rational, needs-based minerals management. It promotes the utilisation, development and management of natural resources, particularly minerals, for the country's national industrialisation and development. About 200 activists, coming from mining affected communities, indigenous peoples, church, urban poor organisations and civil society environmental groups, sang in support of the new Bill outside the House of Representatives, dressed in santa suits and playing tambourines.
"This bill is the product of years of painstaking consultations and write-shops with grassroots communities of indigenous peoples and rural folks, multi-sectoral organisations and civil society groups as well as church formations, who are actual victims and witnesses of the havoc created by the present mining policy of the government. The people wrote this bill."
Judy Pasimio, Friends of the Earth Philippines

MARTINSBURG - While the canvass of votes is open to the public and often times attended by candidates hoping for different results, one Berkeley County candidate actually participated in the process Tuesday as a Board of Canvassers member.
Berkeley County Council incumbent candidate Elaine Mauck was a voting member of the Board of Canvassers, counting the votes for the Nov. 6 election.
Mauck is one of two members elected to the Berkeley County Council, joined by new member James "Jim" Barnhart. Mauck received 20,265 votes; Barnhart received 18,723 votes; and Mark Barney received 16,397 votes.
Mauck first faced a similar situation at the canvass for the May 8 primary election, when she attended that canvass but did not participate.
Originally suggested by council members to not attend the canvass during last Thursday's Berkeley County Council meeting, Mauck said she was later told by County Attorney Norwood Bentley that there was nothing prohibiting her presence.
"I voted on the (provisional ballots), but I didn't make any motions or anything. Norwood (Bentley) said there was no reason why I couldn't. (The Berkeley County Council) thought there was. I was here last time (for the primary election), and they thought it was an issue," Mauck said.
Bentley attributed Mauck's attendance to a concern that a quorum would not be reached without her. A majority must be present to conduct the count. Only member Anthony Petrucci was absent from the canvass.
"There is no prohibition, she just thought it might look better if she weren't here. But we needed her or thought we needed her," Bentley said.

How to make a case for 'workflex' policies in your office

In August of this year, Glassdoor.com released a list of the top 25 companies in terms of work-life balance, as voted on by their own employees. Kent-based REI (ranked No. 6) and Seattle's Slalom Consulting (No. 15) were the two local representatives (see the whole list here). Most of the top 25 firms had similar employee-friendly perks, such as flex time, total health care coverage, gym memberships, telecommuting, performance incentives, ample vacation and many others.
However, many firms in the top 25 shared a not-so-enviable trait. Almost all of the employee reviewers who mentioned a great work-life balance under the "pros" section also added under the "cons" heading that either their salaries were usually not competitive within their markets or the company was resistant to change. While the correlation isn't proven, the data suggest that many employees are giving up higher salaries and innovation in exchange for more flexible schedules and benefits.
So is it possible to earn a top-tier salary and have a perfect work-life balance? That's a question the Glassdoor survey can't come close to answering, but it's an issue that the Families and Work Institute (FWI) is trying to solve. This workplace research nonprofit group recently teamed up with the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM) to create the Workflex Employee Toolkit, a new reference guide for job seekers, employees and HR personnel about how to propose, implement and maintain flexible work arrangements, which they define loosely as "workflex."
According to FWI, the toolkit is "a blueprint for making workflex a reality" for virtually any employer — even for those who may not have a history of offering flexible work programs. By listing more than a dozen types of alternative schedules (flexible hours, compressed work weeks, shift trading, job sharing, family leave, etc.), the guide allows users to compare the benefits of each one and explains how it can be customized to boost productivity, improve morale or reduce costs.
What's even more impressive is how the guide encourages employees to make their own case for workflex implementation. At most firms that adhere to the standard 9-to-5 model, workflex can be dismissed as being "not part of our company culture." But via the resources in this guide, employees can provide concrete, persuasive examples of how workflex can be instituted with relatively little cost and without a major cultural overhaul.
The toolkit includes sections on self-assessment (e.g., What life goals could be achieved with workflex? How will it affect my income? Can my co-workers also benefit from workflex?) and provides tips on how to approach your supervisor about implementation. Using worksheets and checklists, the guide gives step-by-step instructions on presenting a workflex business case, listing the goals of the policy, the specific benefits for the employer and a system to measure performance. There's even a section about how to revise your plan if your initial proposal is denied or how to adjust an existing plan to meet unexpected challenges.
The Workflex Employee Toolkit, free to download from the FWI reports page, is packed with resources for supporting workflex and contains scores of testimonials from workers who have overcome employer resistance. In most cases, SHRM notes, workflex policies are introduced only after a request is made by the employees themselves. Perhaps it's time to ask your employer the same thing.
