Why Herbs?
It works! Uplift your spirits, restore your present health, and take pleasure in absolute tranquility.
It is environmentally clean. The use of herbs allows us to experience the embrace of nature and, through it, the miraculous touch of the divine. More people recognize that green medicine is healthy for the individual and for the environment.
We can make friends with our medicine. Herbalism offers a unique opportunity to develop a relationship with our medicine. We can grow our own herbs and get to know them.
Self-help and empowerment. A sense of control over one's life and the experience of personal empowerment in taking responsibility for one's own health are vital.
Brewing Herbal Teas
Herbal teas are generally light, pleasant-tasting beverages used as gentle remedies. To make a tea, place 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of herbs in a cup. Bring some water to a boil and pour enough over the herbs to fill the cup. Cover and let steep for up to 10 minutes, then strain. The usual dosage is ¼ to 1 cup up to four times daily.
Herbal teas is my favorite way of using herbs medicinally. The mere act of making tea and drinking it involves you in the healing process. Though medicinal teas are generally not as potent or as active as tinctures and other concentrated herbal remedies, they are the most effective medicines for chronic health concerns.
If you're going to brew tea for medicinal purposes, you want to get the most out of the herb.
There are essentially two ways to prepare the perfect cup of herbal tea: an infusion, in which the herbs are steeped, and a decoction, in which the herbs are simmered for a period of time.
Use organic herbs whenever possible. Your tea is going to be only as good as the herbs you put in it. If you're gathering fresh herbs in the wild, be absolutely certain they have not been sprayed or exposed to pesticides or pollution, such as those growing alongside a road.
Herbal teas can be drunk hot, at room temperature, or iced. They can be made into popsicle or ice cubes with fresh fruit and flowers and used to flavor festive holiday punches.

Please listen – lyrics/poem beneath
Love be in my heart
It's not that love's the easy way
It's just that love's the only way
A heart that wants to know the light
Can't close when day turns into night
So let your love be real and raw
Your heart an ever open door
Real and raw
my heart an ever open door
Peace be in my soul
Don't search for peace, it can't be found
It's something we have to create
With every thought, with every deed
with every breath we take
Yes, the world is suffering, that is true
But please don't despair
Just make peace, in you
Know it's true
You can make peace inside of you
Joy be in my smile
Let every cell you're made of sing
And celebrate the little things
The wonder of a joy gone wild
Shining through a simple smile
That spreads, ignites and catches fire
Until it lifts the whole world higher
Catching fire
We'll lift the world a little higher
Grace will be my guide
Sure, the way is not always clear
But truly, nothing is by chance
You don't have to do this all alone
Just let grace be your partner in this dance
Watch and listen, grace will guide
Ever and always by your side
In this dance
ever and always by my side
I wrote this recently and my dear friend, Lili, (http://lilijohn.com/) who I sing with in a local choir, sings beautifully in the background while I read the poem and join in with the song at the end of each verse/stanza. Let me know what you think. It was soooooo precious and uplifting as we sang it together, and I really hope you all feel those good vibes.
Love always, Harula xxxxxx

After a fire destroys their home Nick, his brother and his dad move into his grandmother's home which his dad inherited. Nick finds that the attic is full of all sorts of junk so he decides to have a yard sale to get rid of it all. On the day of the sale the town is hit by a huge storm but when Nick's brother turns on an old lamp from the attic suddenly people arrive at their house despite the bad weather. And everyone there is desperate to buy something, paying much more than any of it is worth. When nearly everything is sold a group of men arrive asking after all the other items. Nick can't tell them much about who bought what so one of the men gives him a card and they purchase everything that is left. Nick doesn't think much more of it all until he becomes friends with a few of the kids who bought some of the items and learns that all of the stuff has strange, magical properties. It turns out that everything in his attic was invented by Nikola Tesla and the men in the car are from the Accelerati, a group determined to use the inventions for their own nefarious purposes.
I find that Shusterman varies from AMAZING, so good you can't believe it writing to fun, fine adventures that aren't very great. This book is in the latter category. It's obviously intended for a younger audience than some of his other work and it will appeal to that group, especially those who like a mysterious series with adult bad guys.

WammaSen. Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko says the Senate Ad-hoc Committee, investigating the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)'s trading, is not under pressure from the Presidency or other quarters as being rumoured.
Wamakko, who is the chair of the ad-hoc committee, made the declaration in a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Bashir Rabe Mani on Wednesday in Sokoto.
Mani quoted the senator as making the remarks during the inauguration of the committee on Tuesday in Abuja.
Wamakko, who is also the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Basic and Secondary Education said that he knew President Muhammadu Buhari so well that he would never interfere in the work of the ad-hoc committee.
"Let me dispel the rumour going around that, the committee is under intense pressure either from the Presidency or elsewhere.
"The fact is that we are not under any pressure from anyone, let alone from the Presidency.
"I am sure that those of us who know President Muhammadu Buhari are quite sure that, he will never interfere in such matters,
Wamakko was quoted as saying that the committee could not hold its inaugural meeting last week due the absence of chairmen of three committees that have dealings with oil/NNPC.
"The chairmen travelled to Russia with the Senate President and they are crucial members of the ad-hoc committee."

Getting Lost at Bisti Badlands
Another great place to check out in New Mexico! Bisti Badlands is definitely in my top 10 favorite places I have ever visited EVER. At first it looks like vast nothingness, but you have to wander and look beyond the nothingness to find the hidden beauty of the Badlands.
Bisti (pronounced bis-tie) Badlands/De-Na-Zin Wilderness is an area roughly 60 square miles of remote badlands that offers some of the world's most unusual scenery. It was once a coastal swamp of inland sea, and home to trees, reptiles, and dinosaurs.
I was originally supposed to go on a group tour, but due to lack of communication, I could not find them. So I went in alone to the vast wilderness. AAAAND I freaked out. One, I'm horrible at directions and this place had no maps, no trails, and no cell reception. I felt nervous and then pretty defeated not knowing where the areas I wanted to see were or how to get there. Two, it was pretty hot that day and my mind started spacing out. After spending an hour in the badlands, I decided to leave.
That's when I met these two grandpas and Niko (the pup). I ended up tagging along with them. Both have been here several times, and they showed me around. We saw hoodoos (the weird lengthy and skinny things), petrified wood, and a lot more!
We climbed to the tops of hills to figure out where to go next. Sometimes we climbed up just to climb down the same way and walk a big loop around the hill. Other times we climbed rocks to the edge. Some of the rock structures are fragile because the top is much heavier than the bottom, so if you do do this, be careful. This is a weirdly beautiful place – highly recommend! I would also suggest coming in at least a pair cause it'll be more fun with someone.
What to Know Before You Go
- Bring:
- Compass
- Lots of snacks and water
- Hiking shoes, preferably
- Sunscreen
- Sunglasses and hat
- Things to do:
- Hike
- Camp
- Wildlife viewing
- Photography
- Cell phone reception is spotty, almost non-existent.
- There is little to no shade.
- Be careful for flash floods in the wash.
- Always know where the wash is. If you get lost, find the wash and follow it to the parking lot.
If you have ever been here, did you enjoy your experience?

Dennis Austin's recent study of post-war Ghanaian politics, fruit of long residence and activity in Ghana and rich in narrative excitement, deserves a two-fold attention.footnote1 It is by far the most informed account we have or are likely to have of this exemplary decolonization; and it utterly and definitively reveals the sterility of a British liberal-democratic perspective upon the political development of new nations.
The author was for ten years (1949–59) at the University College of the Gold Coast, an early supporter of the cpp who became increasingly disillusioned by its 'betrayal' of transmitted political norms, and by what he regards as its wilful distortion of the whole trajectory of Gold Coast political evolution. 'The politics of intrigue succeeded the party disputes of previous years to confound the hopes of those who, looking back to the first reforms of the postwar years and the first general election of 1951, had confidently expected to see the development of a parliamentary system under liberal laws and a freely administered franchise.' Austin's sympathy and understanding go hand in hand. Unsurprisingly, therefore, the reader's irritation mounts as the narrative advances through the 1950's. Put baldly, Austin's preoccupations seem marginal to the main drift of post-independence politics in Ghana. His commanding focus excludes not only any serious appraisal of the inner characteristics of the new régime (difficult enough, admittedly) but equally of its political situation, possibilities and programme. Lacking any such firm setting, Austin resorts to perfunctory and personalized explanations of developments which are as offensive as they are inadequate. An elegy on the erosion of the inherited 'multiparty' system and its attached constitutional paraphenalia (i.e. political liberties as Britain has known them) is a legitimate, though perhaps unrewarding, project. What is less so is the malign teleology which serves as its explicative mechanism.footnote2 It may be that 'personal power' is, in this instance, the real correlate of 'personality
The book's merits and defects spring from a single cause: the rigorous interdependence of its normative substructure and expository method. In essence, Austin's basic assumption appears to be that true 'polities', universally and in the last resort, is synonymous with regular electoral competition of groups and programmes within a liberal-democratic institutional framework. Other forms of organization of political life are variously characterized as 'palace polities', the 'politics of intrigue', 'autocracy' and so on. The fundamental organizing principle, the Ariadne's thread of investigation, therefore, is electoral analysis. The spinal column of Politics in Ghana, around which the material is structured, consists of earnest and sensitive studies of the sequence of national elections conducted by the colonial power (1951, 1954, 1956) as a preliminary to the final negotiation of independence. These studies are linked by recapitulative surveys of the mobile balance of political forces emerging from each of these electoral tests, as revealed in national and regional results and in the responses of parties to them. It is not too much to say that, for Austin, the supremely significant political event is the election; which, in this case, functions as a sort of pubertal rite in the emergence and maturation of a new social and political force on the post-war Ghanaian scene—the 'young commoners'. The deforming and fetishistic character of such an approach is evident enough: broadly appropriate (though certainly not exhaustively so) to a phase in which the various political groups were above all preoccupied with electoral competition as a means of imposing themselves as legitimate interlocutors vis-`-vis the colonial power, this perspective rapidly loses any usefulness once a dominant political party has assumed control of the state apparatus and is faced with the serious responsibilities of decolonization, development and of giving some overall direction to the emerging national and social life.
Thus, Austin remains almost wholly absorbed in documenting such features as regional disproportions in voting, the elimination of the 'opposition' and the dwindling popular base of the present régime (propped up as it is with classical plebiscitary devices and manipulative political pseudo-events). This is unexceptionable. But questions equally important for our understanding of the political system remain unanswered—and sometimes unasked. What has been the political rôle and weight of the civil service? Is cpp 'ideology' (perhaps one of the most insistently elaborated systems of any ruling party in Africa) merely a baroque excrescence? Can Ghanaian politics' be comprehended outside the given economic options and strategy? Above all, what about power and democracy within the Party? In short, there is little attempt to constitute the many discrete elements of Ghana's into a meaningful structure. Instead, the 'meaning'of this decisive experience of political transformation comes down to two banal and trivial insights: the imputed personal predilections of the leader; and the 'accidental' character of 'events' and 'misunderstandings' which, after 1954, inexorably led to 'authoritarian single-party rule'.
Nevertheless, for the earlier period Austin provides material far

Telecom price cuts upset market
Steep price cuts by mobile operator Hello may prompt Thaicom to sell its majority stake in Mfone, according to investment firm Cambodia Capital.
Cambodia Capital claims Hello's drop in the tariffs it charges customers this year has heavily impacted Mfone's operations, as well as those of other smaller telecoms in the Kingdom.
"The possible exit by Thaicom has been driven in part by the recent adoption of aggressive price-cutting by the third-largest operator, Hello," Cambodia Capital said in a report this week.
"Hello, backed by their deep-pocketed Malaysian parent, Axiata, has stated that they intend to remain in the market and drive out smaller operators," the report said.
Cambodia Capital said that while the firm did not expect to see the effects of Hello's price cuts so quickly, the industry – and Mfone, in particular – was already feeling pressure as a result of those cuts.
"If the larger Mfone is already feeling the pinch, it is probable that the other smaller operators are also being hit in [the second quarter of 2011] by this major player slashing tariffs. This could drive more rapid consolidation than we had previously expected."
Last Friday, Thaicom CEO Suphajee Suthumpun reportedly said that the firm was considering pulling out of Cambodia, where it owns 51 percent of Mfone, as well as Laos.
Hello in the first half of 2011 introduced tariff plans charging a flat flee for unlimited monthly calls, which drew criticism from domestic rivals, who claimed they violated a Ministry of Post and Telecommunications prakas regarding minimum pricing per minute.
The company has since defended itself, saying it pushed forward with its pricing plans only after the ministry refused to enforce the prakas as other operators were cutting prices.
Regardless, Hello CEO Simon Perkins this week downplayed the effect his price cuts were having on the industry. He said an overcrowded sector and aggressive pricing regimes over the past two years had finally started to take their toll on some Cambodian mobile operators.
"It's not just us. It's the whole market," he said. "We followed what the rest of the market was doing. Probably because we're a bit bigger it's had an impact."
Perkins also attempted to temper Cambodia Capital's claim that Hello had previously said it sought to drive smaller players out of business.
"Axiata is committed to this market 100 percent. Cambodia is a strategic operation that we will defend and grow whatever it takes," he said, though the intention of eliminating competitors was "a step too far".

Students who were recently admitted to UH will receive advising as part of their New Student Orientation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make an appointment in the Navigate Student app?
To make an appointment with your advisor or another support office, click the purple Appointments icon in your Navigate Student app, and then your college and your major or service. Click on an available appointment time and confirm your appointment. You'll get an email reminder the day before your appointment and a text reminder 2 hours before.
Why are my login credentials not working?
Make sure to log in with your Cougarnet ID, not your numerical myUH ID. Your Cougarnet ID is normally your first initial and a piece of your last name. It would have been emailed to you when you registered for Orientation, so you may want to check your spam folder.
If you don't remember your Cougarnet ID, or even if you are sure your Cougarnet ID and password are correct, the first step in diagnosing the problem from the technical end is to have you go to https://www.uh.edu/cougarnet-wizard/ and click on Forgot your CougarNet ID? You will enter your myUH ID, and then it will email you your CougarNet UserID.
If you are still not able to log in, send your full name, myUHID, and Cougarnet ID to firstname.lastname@example.com so we can troubleshoot.
I don't see an open appointment time. What should I do?
In Navigate, time slots for advising offices open for the next 30 days on a rolling basis – so you'll see 30 full days of availability, with a new day added at the end of that range every day beginning at midnight.
If you don't see an appointment time that can be clicked, it is either because there just aren't any left for that period, or because there are not any available when you don't have courses – Navigate will not allow you to schedule an advising appointment when you are scheduled to be in class.
Some offices offer walk-in advising, so if you don't see an open appointment, click to "View walk-in times" or check back daily for appointment times that have opened.
Right before enrollment each semester is a VERY busy time in advising offices. Mark your planner to see your advisor very early each semester so that you can get your questions answered!
I am not an active student. How can I make an appointment with an academic advisor?
If you are not currently an active student or are seeking readmission, your Cougarnet ID is inactive, so you will want to contact your advisor directly – advisor contact information is here: http://www.uh.edu/provost/students/advising/ . Once you are readmitted and enrolled in courses, then you will be able to use Navigate to make future advising appointments.
I was just admitted to UH and I am awaiting New Student Orientation. How can I make an appointment with an academic advisor?

(Adds company comments)
HONG KONG, March 18 (Reuters) - Hong Kong's securities regulator has fined a unit of Bank of China HK$10 million ($1.3 million) for failing to follow guidelines on the sale of investment products.
The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) said that Bank of China International Securities (BOCIS) failed to properly assess some of its clients' risk-tolerance levels or to ensure that its recommendations to clients were suitable.
Rules governing the sale of investment products, and companies' compliance with the regulations, are in the spotlight in Asia after Australia's year-long inquiry into wrongdoing in the financial sector made a number of recommendations about how its products should be marketed to consumers.
"BOCIS has made every effort to co-operate with the SFC during its investigation and has given serious attention to the points raised by the SFC by taking appropriate measures to enhance its internal controls and procedures," a Bank of China International spokeswoman said.
Bank of China International Securities is fully owned by Bank of China International, the wholly owned investment banking subsidiary of China's fourth-largest lender Bank of China. ($1 = 7.8499 Hong Kong dollars) (Reporting by Alun John Editing by Shreejay Sinha and David Goodman)

The Good Place isn't the funniest comedy on television, but it's probably the most enjoyable and easily the most radical. A sitcom about self-improvement at all costs, made just as the world is flushing itself down the toilet. Who on earth saw that coming?
The Good Place has never been a traditional sitcom. It is far too restless for that, both physically and spiritually. Sitcoms, by their very nature, resist change. A traditional sitcom tends to pick a location – the bar in Cheers, the cafe in 'Allo 'Allo!, the office in The Office – and mine it for laughs until there's nothing left but rocks and dust. But if I've done my maths right, The Good Place has ploughed through four different situations within the space of two series. We even watched the main one – the pocket afterlife created for Team Cockroach back in the first episode – implode into an infinite black void for ever a few weeks ago. And now, if last week's series two finale is any indication, they are somewhere brand new again. This time – mimicking series four of Lost – they're back in the real world, trying to put the lessons they learned in hell to good use.
You would be hard pressed to describe the characters in The Good Place as traditional sitcom creations, either. A sitcom often resets after every episode, putting everyone back into place as the credits roll. Nobody grows, nobody learns, and every attempt to escape is always thwarted at the last minute. But, for the most part, the characters in The Good Place have already outgrown their initial cluster of traits.
Eleanor, the ostensible lead, has gone from selfish to considerate. Tahani is starting to think of others. Janet, a super-powered Amazon Echo in human form, revealed in the series two finale that she doesn't know who she is any more. And Michael – played by Ted Danson in a career-best performance – has gone from doddery angel to the actual devil to humanity's greatest champion, all in the space of nine and a half hours of television. It's remarkable.
Michael Schur, who created the show, has always understood the power of decency. Parks and Recreation only took off when he scrubbed it clean of its petty, snarky, Office-ish premise and turned it into a programme about flawed but well-intentioned people sharing a common purpose. Brooklyn Nine-Nine struggled to locate a sense of self until the characters started toasting each other in unison with "To the Nine-Nine".
But decency is baked hard into the DNA of The Good Place. It's the show's entire reason to be. Its characters are trapped in a terrible scenario, and they can't escape unless they improve as people. They are in a hopeless situation, but hope is their only way out.
Forget all the formal bells and whistles. Forget that they are learning to be better because they are studying the works of pre-eminent ethicists and philosophers – even if it has caused some bookshops to set out "Chidi's Choice" tables laden with all his go-to literature – just the fact that basic positivity is the engine room of a sitcom in 2018 is refreshing.
You don't need to be told what a mess we're in. Gradually, with each new day, we're getting more and more mired in zero-sum populism and partisan bickering and short-term pandering. Increasingly, it feels as if the world is greased on hair-trigger offence on all sides, and it has never felt more insurmountable. But here, right in the middle of this genuine waking nightmare, is a comedy about people learning to value empathy and thriving as a result. Had it been made five or 10 years ago, we might not have even noticed. But now, it's a diamond in the dump. It's a lifeboat. Yes, it's a silly comedy with a very healthy ratio of fart jokes but, right now, The Good Place is our good place.

From the reviews:
"Science and SF writer Gilster's latest isn't only an enlightening tour of propulsion and communication systems and the materials that might take us (in unmanned or even manned probes) to Centauri triple-star system 4.3 light years away (nearby in interstellar terms). The book is also a plea to remember that the urge to explore the unknown is what makes us human and that the future may not be as far away as we think. What separates this work from many scientific explorations of topics typically relegated to science fiction is that none of the methods described require breakthroughs in physics: we need no faster-than-light travel, no warp drive, no hyperspace or wormholes. All today's scientists need is the time, funding, and license to turn their thought experiments into engineering problems. Like a master kite flyer, Gilster slowly lets out the line and allows the magnificent dreams of interstellar flight to soar - describing the relevant technologies we already possess - then he reels readers back in by pointing out the lack of funding and distance these theories still need to go before becoming reality. The technologies include sails that capture light instead of wind; a combination of fusion and antimatter reactions; and artificially intelligent computer systems that evolve over time. Metaphors and examples based on common experience put the science in perspective. This work is not only a clear, well-thought-out explanation of theoretical science and engineering but also food for the soul of anyone who has ever thought that space is a great adventure waiting to happen." - Publishers Weekly, Jan. 10, 2005
"Paul Gilster is fascinated by interstellar space flight - not the Star Trek kind, but the real thing. He takes the reader on a tour of plans being developed quietly at NASA and other space agencies for sending an unmanned probe to Alpha Centauri, the nearest star. Extensive notes capably steer readers into the technical literature. Call this book science-fiction-for-real." - Astronomy, March 2005
"Gilster takes readers on leaps of imagination beyond the probable, past the unlikely, skirting the unbelievable, through the land of supposed impossibility, into the future where, one way or another, humanity will be pursuing 'Centauri Dreams,' or, as the subtitle states, 'Imagining and Planning Interstellar Exploration.'" -- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"Centauri Dreams is a look at the state of the art as-yet hypothetical technology needed to take us to Earth's second-closest star. ... Author Gilster examines the possibilities with a sure-handed humor liberally illustrated with interviews with real-life experts and examples from the great science-fiction stories of Anderson, Sterling, and Clarke." (Sci Fi, 2005)
"Paul Gilster is fascinated by interstellar space flight - not the Star Trek kind, but the real thing. He takes the reader on a tour of plans being developed quietly at NASA and other space agencies ... . Extensive notes capably steer readers into the technical literature." (Astronomy, March, 2005)
"'Centauri Dreams' consists of a thorough analysis of the alternative propulsion technologies ... . This analysis is tastefully interspersed with numerous references to science-fiction ideas and writers, reflecting Gilster's wide ranging knowledge of real science and his passion for science fiction literature. ... This book is very well researched, and was for me an enjoyable read, one that I'm sure will be well enjoyed by science-fiction aficionados and hard-nosed realists alike!" (Gerard Mc Mahon, Astronomy & Space, April, 2006)
"Centauri Dreams provides a ... thorough and up-to-date review of the various interstellar-travel concepts to be found in the literature. ... By and large the author does a good job describing complicated concepts ... . I can recommend Centauri Dreams to anyone seeking a non-technical summary of interstellar-travel concepts as they stand at the beginning of the 21st century." (Ian Crawford, The Observatory, Vol. 125 (1188), 2005)
"Paul Gilster explains some of the ongoing research ... that may one day lead to an unmanned, possibly even robotic or manned, space probe being sent to Alpha Centauri, the nearest bright star outside of our solar system. ... Centauri Dreams ... contains thirty pages of notes that enhance the reading. General audiences and professionals will find this book a fascinating read about the possibilities of future interstellar travel." (Alvin K. Benson, Salem Press, September, 2005)
"The fastest manmade vehicle is now Voyager 1, heading out of the solar system. It could cross the US in less than four minutes. Even at that speed it will take 70,000 years to reach the nearest star, Alpha Centauri. ... Paul Gilster's book explores the terrain at the frontiers of hard logic and hairy thinking. Interstellar travel is now part of imagination's landscape. ... The interstellar idea, says Gilster, in this exhilarating book, is taking shape." (Tim Radford, The Guardian, March, 2005)

Northern Nevada Powers of Attorney Lawyer Located in Reno
Giving another person power of attorney can provide comfort if you want your wishes followed if you are not able to make choices for yourself. Powers of attorney "spring" into effect when you are unable to express your own wishes due to unconsciousness, stroke, mental illness or other impairment, and are an important part of your estate planning package.
Clients in Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Dayton, Minden, Gardnerville and anywhere in the surrounding area can create powers of attorney for financial matters, healthcare, parenting decisions and other subjects. Having powers of attorney means peace of mind, and also means more complete estate planning to help you feel in control of your future.

Tiffany Adams Coyne professionally known as Tiffany Coyne is an American dancer and model. She is best known as a model on Let's Make a Deal, which also features Wayne Brady after she replaced former model Alison Fiori on the show in 2009.
36-year-old Tiffany, who was born in Utah, knew from a very young age that she loved art and wanted to be involved in it. At the age of three, she started dancing and initially focused more on ballet. Later she began to increase her radius of dancing and started practicing jazz and hip-hop. Now Tiffany is one of the most popular dancers in Hollywood and also has a massive following.

Leaving Tiffany Coyne's professional career and achievements aside, we will let you people know about her personal life that includes her married life, husband, dating, relationship, affairs, children, and more. Check it out:
To begin: Back in the early 2000s, Tiffany started working on a cruise ship as a Jazz dancer and performed internationally. She performed in many countries like Denmark, Sweden, and Norway.
While she was still working on the cruise, she met singer Chris Coyne with whom she soon fell in love with. The two were deeply in love and soon got married. The couple is still together and is one happy family.
In January of 2013, the duo announced that they were having a child. On 1st August of the year, they gave birth to their first child, a baby girl Scarlett Rose Coyne.
During the birth of young Scarlett, Tifanny was still working as a model in Let's Make a Deal. During the fifth season of the show, she took maternity leave. Later, model Danielle Demski was offered the job, and Tifanny was replaced for long-term.
On February 24, 2018, Tiffany welcomed her second child, son Carter Liam. Some lovely pictures of the family can be found on the official Instagram page of Tiffany.
Apart from her relationship with husband Chris Coyne, there are no details about Tiffany being in a relationship with any other man. She also has not gotten married previously. But there are no details about her past affairs and relationships.
Since we know that the dancer is happily married to her husband Chris, we hope for her happy and prosperous life ahead.

Business Insider Names Torchy's Tacos The Best Taco Chain Of 2018
Here in Texas, we're known for our BBQ, chili, and now tacos.
Business Insider has just named the Austin based Torchy's Tacos the 2018 best taco chain in America.
We're honored to be the best damn chain y'all ate all year @businessinsider. Time to party! https://t.co/Rqwaxd4xTv— Torchy's Tacos (@torchystacos) December 26, 2018
The first Torchy's opened up back in 2006 as a trailer, and they've been expanding ever since. Now there are more than 50 Torchy's Tacos here in Texas. They probably opened a new location down the street from your house earlier this year.
Their menu features 20 unique tacos, a breakfast menu, and sides. The one thing Business Insider couldn't stop ranting and raving about was the Green Chile Queso. Can we blame them? "We discovered ourselves face-to-face with one of the best quesos we had ever experienced… In fact, we found we could not stop gorging — even as we were increasingly stuffed, we kept returning for one more dip."
Torchy's has been having a pretty good year, not only did Business Insider name them the best taco chain of 2018, but TripAdvisor listed them as one of top 10 fast casual restaurants of 2018.
Chipotle better step up their game if they want to compete with Torchy's Tacos.

A select number of graduating seniors looked back on their lives through the revival of time capsules that they buried four years prior.
Mrs. Bethany Mahan, current junior high and former senior high English teacher, returned to the high school on May 3 to assist with what she deemed the "Big Dig." The "Big Dig" was a one and only time event in Red Lion history where a senior class had permission to dig up a time capsule they buried as freshmen.
One of Mahan's former students, Taylor Griffith, suggested the idea to Mahan when they were reading the 1983 play "Our Town" by Thornton Wilder. The time capsule in the play inspired Griffith and her class to bury one of their own.

The end of one's senior year of high school is a coveted moment in any student's life. It marks the completion of a thirteen year journey of schooling, and recognizes all of their efforts over those years.
Some students choose to make this occasion even more memorable by delivering a graduation speech at the ceremony. Graduation speeches are student delivered monologues that are directed at that year's graduating class and are meant to be inspirational.
At Red Lion Area High School, students audition after school in front of a small group of faculty members including principal Mr. Mark Shue and English teacher Dr. Cari Ayala, who is the main orchestrator of the events.
This year there were 15 students that auditioned; a much bigger turnout than previous years, noted Ayala. Students are chosen not solely based on the quality of their speeches, but also their posture, articulation, and overall presentation skills.

Aside from prom, the senior class trip is often one of the last major events of senior year. On May 17, the class of 2016 travelled to Pocono Valley Resort in Reeders, PA to celebrate the last few weeks of their senior year.
At approximately 6:30am, 129 seniors crowded the high school commons area awaiting their coach busses to arrive to transport them to the Poconos. The students filled three busses, where they were entertained with movies and provided with snacks from Executive Council.
Following a nearly three hour long bus ride, the students and chaperones arrived at the 350 acre resort. The resort, which includes a 40 acre lake, houses several outdoor and recreational activities. Activities students participated in included kayaking on the lake, zip lining, 40 foot rock wall climbing, and a tree top adventure course.

There have been several new changes this school year, but one that has seemed to gain everyone's attention is the addition of an "academic prep" period.
Last year, Red Lion had a period called flex, that didn't exactly work well for students or teachers. Typically, either the period was left with nothing else to do for the extra 20 minutes or students would become bored and couldn't keep their attention on the class.
"All changes were made to give students extra support," Principal Mark Shue said. He also brought up the statistics that showed from this year to last year, student failures lowered 16 percent.

The scene is set, fragments of glass coat the pavement, streams of synthetic blood trickle down the battered vehicle, and the "victims" remain frozen in their pre-manipulated positions.
An eerie silence sweeps over the parking lot right as the senior students begin filing out of the building, crowding around the semicircle of roadblocks. As if turned on by a switch, figures begin moving in the car, and a voice on a radio describes the situation and calls for aid.
A startling shriek echoes from inside as the passenger frantically shakes the unconscious driver, repeating his name, pleading for him to wake up. Her attention shifts to the driver of the car opposite them "What did you do!?" Holding his head and stumbling, the driver looks between the two vehicles, then to his date whose body has been cast through the windshield and now lays lifeless on the hood. "What have I done…?"
Sirens wail and emergency personnel come barreling down the street. EMT's and firefighters jump into action. One by one the victims are carefully removed and loaded onto the ambulances.
The tenth annual mock accident assembly was held April 14 for Red Lion seniors.
"In all the years we've been doing this if we make even one student think before they make a decision, I think that's worth it," assistant principal Grant Gouker said. "I really worry about these things that could create tragedy in a time that is so great for everyone."
The purpose of the assembly is to make an impact and to make students really stop and think about what consequences could come out of poor choices.
"I hope it shows people that this type of thing is not some sort of joke that you brush off lightly," senior actor Duncan Keller said. "It can result in the death of one of your friends or someone close to you, so I really hope people take this seriously."
The mock accident happens every year the week before prom so the seniors had an idea of what to expect going into it, but didn't fully comprehend the effect it would have on them.
"The assembly was actually a lot more than I expected," senior Hayley Althoff said. "The way they portrayed an accident really made me think twice about how I spent my night after prom."
"It can happen to anybody, it can happen at any time and none of us are invincible," Gouker said. "It just takes a second. That's all it takes."

Technological advancements are being made every day. With great advancements, come great risks. Not too often do users read the privacy policies of the apps they are using, and it's posing a great danger to user privacy.
Having your account hacked is one thing, but exposed credit card information is another. It's crucial to read between the lines when it comes to allowing apps to access our information.
The first step to having control over private information is to set passwords. Keeping an effective password for each account keeps information hidden from others. That gives users a better feeling of security regarding their personal information. Devices also offer password locks in order to access them, and lock themselves if the incorrect password is attempted several times.
When it comes to social media, however, matters are not as simple. "It all comes down to the end user," K-12 Educational Technology Coach, Mrs. Samantha Smith said. "You have to make sure that whatever information you give them, you're okay with."

But there would never have been enough time and space. So for the time being the very briefest of introductions to railroad yard air systems will have to do. Take your time as you skim through this material. Because there is more to come. There is plenty of further and more detailed introductory material available to you not far from this page. A primary objective of the modern day yard air system is to be able to practice effective maintenance.
It is deemed that if an air compression system is not being properly maintained it will likely lead to unforeseen breakdowns. Subsequent but necessary repairs will then become quite costly. And furthermore, a train could be derailed in a manner of speaking, not able to service its rolling stock or passengers. An important part of the effective maintenance procedures entails having to prevent compressed air from becoming contaminated in the first instance.
This is accomplished through water separation and filtration, and compressed air desiccation. In the first instance, the air compressor is being protected from impurities that occur in atmospheric air. In the second case just mention, compressed air desiccation removes vapor from compressed air. The result is that railways are being provided with unimpeded power to its key functions for the long term.
Today, advanced filtering systems are being used. There is also a concerted move towards the practice of conservation as well as energy efficiency. Both these objectives are being achieved through the use of pneumatic tools and machinery. Maintenance engineers need to be familiar with the different types of air contaminants as well as its origination. Contamination usually occurs from the atmosphere whereby the inlet valve of the air compressor sucks in polluted air.

Senior: Very good academic school. If you are looking for a school to get you college ready this is a perfect option. Overall good clubs and activities. Some of the sports teams are biased toward certain players (Basketball ESPECIALLY). Not a very diverse school, mostly white students. Very safe school, minimal threats. We have a resource officer on duty at all times. Most teachers are good, few bad apples but you will have that anywhere. Food gets a D-, bring your own lunch!

Junior: Hurricane High School gave me and my siblings the best years of our lives. Between sports, clubs, and classes, we constantly stayed busy. The great thing about HHS is that they accept everyone, no matter your race, religion, or even your size! There is no other school I would've wanted to attend for my high school years. All the teachers and faculty were always so loving, and if I could stay in high school forever, I would. I'm so thankful for my time at HHS and it's sad to say it's almost over. The only thing I would change about HHS is that sometimes you can notice they expect more out of students who perform on a higher level, I'm in no way saying I don't like a challenge, but I think it would be better for all the students if they held us all to the same standard.

Sam Smith Bond song splits opinion
- Published
Reactions to Sam Smith's theme song for new James Bond film Spectre vary widely following its unveiling earlier on Nick Grimshaw's Radio 1 breakfast show.
Former Bond actor Sir Roger Moore called Writing's On the Wall "very haunting and wonderfully orchestrated".
But other Twitter users have been less complimentary, with one describing it as the "worst Bond theme ever".
BBC entertainment correspondent Colin Paterson said it was "good enough, but not a classic".
The song, whose full version runs for 4 minutes and 38 seconds, begins with the words: "I've been here before / But always hit the floor."
"I've spent a lifetime running, and I always get away," it continues. "But with you I'm feeling something, that makes we want to stay."
"I think it's a song about a man deciding to quit it all for love," Paterson said of the track on BBC Breakfast, comparing its melody to that of Michael Jackson's 1995 single Earth Song.
He also suggested it was far superior to Die Another Day, the much-derided song Madonna contributed to the 2002 Bond film of that name.
Comedian David Schneider was not convinced, greeting the song's release with the words: "The name is Bland. James Bland."
Yet fellow comic Omid Djalili was far more effusive, tweeting the song had left him "in a broken heap."
"If you're not moved by this song you don't have a pulse," wrote Djalili, who had a small role in 1999 Bond film The World is Not Enough.
Smith is the first solo male British act to perform a Bond film's theme song since 1964, when Tom Jones was heard over the opening credits of Thunderball.
The last Bond theme, Adele's song for 2012's Skyfall, peaked at number two in the UK singles chart.
No Bond song has ever reached the top of the UK chart, and opinion is divided whether Smith's track will do so.
Canadian pop star Justin Bieber is currently at number one and is expected to remain there when this week's chart is revealed later on Friday.
Smith himself has said he and his songwriting partner, Jimmy Napes, wanted to create a song that was "timelessly classic".
"This isn't about me, about my life," he said in a promotional video for the song. "I just hope people listen to it and think, 'That's Bond'."
The song's title appears to derive from a scene in Spectre, viewed briefly in the film's trailer, in which James Bond's name is found scrawled upon a wall.

Monsters among us: veteran serial killers
The recent arrest of the Golden State Killer, some 30 years after he's thought to have committed his last murder made major headlines for several reasons. First, it was shock that a years old cold case had been solved. Second, a true-crime book about the case written by Michelle McNamara, the wife of comedian Patton Oswalt, was released shortly before the announcement, and two years after McNamara's death.
But there was a third aspect of it that caught my eye. As I scrolled through the stories about the arrest, I noticed I had something in common with Joseph James DeAngelo, the man now alleged to be the serial killer. He and I had both served in the US Navy, with DeAngelo serving during Vietnam as a Damage Controlman, rising to the rank of Petty Officer 2nd Class.
Unfortunately, while the vast majority of veterans are kind, caring, contributing members of society...some of them are monsters. DeAngelo is the latest in a surprisingly long list of vets who became serial killers. Including these 5 infamous cases:
5. The Cleveland Strangler - USMC
When police raided Anthony Sowell's house in Cleveland in 2009, they found the bodies off 11 women. No word on whether they found any mementos from his seven years serving as a Marine. Sowell, who currently awaits execution on Ohio's death row, served in the Marine Corps from '78-'85 with a Good Conduct Medal, a deployment to Okinawa and two LOA's to his credit. Needless to say, his conduct appears to have worsened significantly after leaving the Corps.
4. Green River Killer - US Navy
Gary Ridgway's body count is staggering, with some estimates putting it in the triple digits. He likely doesn't get as much attention as others on this list because of simple timing as he was apprehended just two months after the September 11th terror attacks. It's believed he killed that many prior to his arrest, he murdered at least 71 women in the Seattle-Tacoma area of Washington State, but nobody's sure, with even Ridgway himself saying he lost count. Prior to his extended reign of terror, Ridgway served in Vietnam on board a Navy supply ship.
3. The DC Sniper - US Army
Technically, there were two DC Snipers, but John Allen Muhammad was the madman behind the rampage that terrorized our nation's capitol and the surrounding area in 2002. Muhammad served the longest of anyone on this list, joining the Louisiana National Guard in 1978, serving during the First Gulf War before being honorably discharged in 1994. Muhammad is believed to have killed a total of 17 people, 10 during the beltway attacks, seven elsewhere. He was executed in Virginia in 2009.
2. Son of Sam - US Army
Before David Berkowitz was taking orders from a dog to murder six New Yorkers in 1976 and '77, he was following the orders of his Army NCOs. He enlisted in 1971 at 18 years old and served stateside as well as in Korea. The man who would become known as Son of Sam was known as Corporal Berkowitz when he was honorably discharged following the fulfillment of his enlistment. These days, the 64-year-old is called inmate Berkowitz, as he continues to serve six life sentences in New York.
1. Jeffrey Dahmer - US Army
Jeffrey Dahmer. His name is synonymous with evil, but his service is perhaps the least known on this list. The cannibal from Wisconsin had already committed his first murder when he enlisted in the Army in 1979 where he served as...a medic. I know! You may never look at the guy drawing your blood the same again. Dahmer's service was short lived. He served until 1981 when he was discharged after being found not suitable for military service, with alcoholism being given as the driving force behind the decision. But get this, Dahmer was given an honorable discharge apparently because his commanders didn't feel his Army problems would carry over to civilian life. Good call guys. Dahmer was killed in prison, beaten to death by another inmate. Before you cheer that man as a hero, just know the inmate was Christopher Scarver, a schizophrenic who was in prison for cold-blooded murder.

A 185-acre terminal operated by Yusen Terminals at the Port of Los Angeles will undergo major upgrades starting in August or September, harbor officials said today.
Manson Construction Co. recently was awarded a $44.6 million contract to make upgrades aimed at making operations more efficient at the terminal, which includes berths 212-224.
The project is part of a larger series of port improvements over the next five years totaling about $800 million.
"This project consists of strategic improvements to make Yusen a more agile terminal and strengthen our competitive edge," Port Executive Director Gene Seroka said. "In addition to making the best use of port property, it incorporates green features and practices that further our commitment to the highest environmental standards."
Alan McCorkle, the vice president of West Coast operations for Yusen's parent company, NYK Ports, said the "project will allow Yusen to handle vessels and move cargo more efficiently for our customers."
The port's total cost for the Yusen project is about $67 million, with a second contract to be awarded later this year for work on an on-dock rail project at the same terminal, while Yusen is putting in an additional $60 million, harbor officials said.

Stella Tuttle (1925 – 2005)
Stella A. Tuttle, age 80, a resident of Kenosha died Monday, August 8, 2005 at Kenosha Medical Center.
Born on July 10, 1925 in Kenosha, she was the daughter of the late Andrew and Freida (Rakunas) Kadis.
She was educated in the schools of Kenosha and also attended L.I.F.E. College in Los Angeles, where she graduated as an ordained minister and studied missions work, childrens' education and music.
On July 28, 1951, she married Gerald (Jerry) W. Tuttle in Kenosha. As an ordained minister and charter member(s) of Lakeshore Tabernacle, Stella and Jerry co-founded and pastored Bethel Tabernacle in Columbus, Ohio. Upon returning to Kenosha, she originated a local radio show as a program of Lakeshore Tabernacle entitled "Good Ship Sunday School", which aired on WLIP every Sunday morning. She continued the program at First Assembly of God Church through the late 1960's. She founded Kiddie Kollege in 1965, which operated in various churches in Kenosha until 1993. At the time of her death, she was the owner and operator of Kiddie Kare A-Kademie, which has served thousands of Kenosha families with quality pre-school and childcare programs since 1991. As her health allowed, she could often be seen in the office of Kiddie Kare, where she was loved by her staff, parents, students and their families who entrusted her with the care of their children. The quality of care and superior early childhood education provided to families is well-known throughout Kenosha and the surrounding areas. Along with family, she co-founded and operated Treasure's Christian Bookstore from 1982 until 1994.
Her devotion to the religious community was evident throughout her life. As a born-again Christian since the age of 8, Stella's passion was ministering to children through her work as a Sunday School teacher and Superintendent, Vacation Bible School Administrator, and life-long servant of the Lord. She was formerly a charter member of Lakeshore Tabernacle as well as a long-time, active member of The First Assembly of God Church.
She is survived by her husband of 54 years, Jerry Tuttle, of Kenosha; two daughters: Melody (Robert – USAF Ret.), of Greenville NC and Holly Tuttle of Kenosha; a daughter-in-law, Carla Wyatt of Tulsa OK; and two loving grandchildren, Justin Bentz of Havre MT and Allison Tuttle of Tulsa OK.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her son Terry (November 17, 1993); and her sister, Bertha Stanich.
Visitation with the family will be held on Friday, August 12, 2005 from 5:00PM until 8:00PM in the Youth Chapel of First Assembly of God Church. (The Youth Chapel is located in the west-end building of the new addition.) Funeral services for Mrs. Stella Tuttle will be held on Saturday, August 13, 2005 in the sanctuary of First Assembly of God Church at 10:00AM with an additional visitation immediately preceding at 9:00AM. A burial service at Greenridge Cemetery and a luncheon at the church will follow.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that memorials be made to First Assembly of God to support their youth and missions programs.

Breathless was released in 1960 and was directed by Jean-Luc Godard. It was released by Criterion on DVD on October 23, 2007 and on Blu-Ray on February 25, 2014, as spine #408. Godard is a Criterion favorite, having also directed Alphaville (spine #25), Contempt (spine #171), Band of Outsiders (spine #174), A Woman is a Woman (spine #238), Tout va bien (spine #275), Masculin féminin (spine #308), Pierrot le fou (spine #421), Made in U.S.A. (spine #481), 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her (spine #482), Vivre sa vie (spine #512), Weekend (spine #635), and Every Man for Himself (spine #744, to be released next month).
Michel (Jean-Paul Belmondo), a criminal who styles himself after Humphrey Bogart, kills a policeman and finds himself wanted. He seeks out former lover Patricia (Jean Seberg) and convinces her to hide him in her apartment.
The Film
Breathless is one of those "revolutionary" classics that still feels new decades after its release. Films like Citizen Kane were undeniably influential, but we can't help but see it through the prism of the films it influenced. Intellectually, we know how formally daring it was, but it's hard to get that experience now that its techniques have been fully absorbed by mainstream filmmaking. Breathless, while certainly influential, doesn't feel like that. Its jump cuts are still jarring, its narrative is still floaty, and its sense of cool is still unique. There have been other movies like Breathless, but none that fully replicate its je ne sais quoi.
As such, it's a somewhat difficult film to talk about. It exists in a vacuum, as both completely referential to other less memorable films, and a powerfully individual work of art. It's even something of an outlier in Godard's own canon, as it began a career of ever-increasing experimentation. His most recent film, last year's 3D cinematic essay Goodbye to Language, could not be more different from Breathless, and yet they both bear Godard's signature flair for rule violation. If there's one thing no one does better than Godard, it's tearing down cinema's walls. Because he grew bolder and bolder as his career went on, Breathless necessarily represents his most conventional work, but that's a high bar to clear when it comes to Godard. This is a film that cuts once every sentence in one scene, and then spends almost a half-hour on long takes in a single hotel room. Its rhythms are unpredictable, as if Godard is putting the film together on the fly as you're watching it. But it never feels slapdash or sloppy; there's never any doubt that this is the work of an artist with a vision.
There are interviews galore on this release, both recent and archival. I tend to find this type of Criterion feature pretty dull, and these are no exception. Fortunately, there's plenty of meat to make up for it. There are two great video essays, one by filmmaker Mark Rappaport on the life of star Jean Seberg, and one by critic Jonathan Rosenbaum exploring Godard's claim that Breathless represents an extension of his work as a film critic. Both are intriguing, particularly the former, which details tragedy in Seberg's later years that I was completely unaware of. Rosenbaum's video talks mainly about the influences and references on display in Breathless, and I was left wishing he went into more detail about the film's specific function as "criticism." It's still an interesting piece, though.
As is often the case, the best feature is in the booklet. This release includes two original treatments for Breathless; the first is written by Francois Truffaut, and the second by Godard. Truffaut was inspired by a true story that was in the news at the time, and he wrote a more conventional take on it for Godard. Godard's version is far looser and prone to narrative digressions, closely resembling the final version of the feature. It's interesting to see the two men have such wildly different takes on the same setup.
Breathless' idiosyncratic rhythm and irresistible lead performances have kept it fresh over a half-century after its release.
Criterion Grade: B
Film Grade: A

What Is Grandfathering In LTCG On Shares And Equity MFs?
Before we dig into the concept of grandfathering introduced in Union Budget 2018, with respect to Long Term Capital Gains tax (LTCG) on equity shares, let us understand the meaning of capital gains and tax implications on them.
When do you pay capital gains tax?
We pay capital gains tax on assets like shares, property, gold etc. if they are sold at a profit. So, if you buy an apartment at Rs 25 lakhs and sell the same 10 years later at Rs 50 lakhs, you pay tax on the profit made of Rs 25 lakhs.
What is grandfathering when paying Long Term Capital gains tax?
Prior to the announcement of the Union Budget 2018, if an individual sold shares after one year at a profit, he was not subject to any tax on the profits. If you sold shares before 1 year, you would be paying a short-term capital gains tax of 15 percent of the profit. This means equity shares were subject to short-term capital gains tax (sold before 1 year at a profit), but no tax if shares were sold after 1 year at a profit.
The problem arose as every asset class including real estate, gold etc., were subject to long-term capital gains tax, but shares were not. To accord a fair treatment to all asset classes, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley decided to subject equity shares to 10 percent long-term capital gains tax. So, if you sold shares at a profit after 1 year or later you would now be subject to 10 percent tax with effect from April 1, 2018.
However, since the Union Budget comes into effect from April 1, 2018, and the Union Budget was delivered on Feb 1, 2018, there would be large-scale selling between Feb 1 and March 31, 2018, to avoid paying 10 percent capital gains tax.
Therefore, Grandfathering was introduced in the Union Budget 2018, wherein the cut-off date was fixed at Jan 31, 2018. This means your profits are protected until Jan 31, and no tax was payable on them.
Let us cite an example:
Say you bought shares worth Rs 1 lakh on Jan 1, 2016, and the value was Rs 1.5 lakhs as on Jan 31, 2018. If after Jan 31, you sell the shares at a value of Rs 1.75 lakhs (say for example on Feb 21), then you pay tax on Rs 25,000 only (value as on Jan 31 minus sale value as on Feb 21).
Had grandfathering not been introduced, you would be subject to capital gains tax on Rs 75,000 and not Rs 25,000.
However, if you sold the shares at a lower value then that prevailing on Jan 31, no tax is payable. However, you need to remember the value of these shares as on Jan 31, 2018.
This is why grandfathering was introduced, so as to protect your profits, at the same time prevent large-scale selling pressure in shares between Feb 1 (day of announcement) and April 1, 2018 (the day when LTCG becomes applicable).
Also, it was only logical you should not be paying tax, as LTCG was never applicable before the announcement of the Union Budget and hence price protection or grandfathering was a must.

The business people or rather the business owner should find the great significance of the implementation of the staff management apps in streamlining the business environment. Keeping track on employees have a significant impact on business because it will lead to substantial growth in the long run. We also need to have an understanding that the implementation of the software will also aid to long-term savings to a business. For the company that is new, it is often that it will not have the implemented staff management app and this is where in most instances you will get to find out that they opt to do it in a traditional way whereby they write down on how the business is managed.
Although we know that we are in another century where almost every activity is advanced, and so with the technology that is advanced we need to get an understanding that the business people should find the reason of implementing the management app for the staff. In this, we are told that they play a significant role in business than we can expect and so we need to note that the implementation of the staff management apps will help the business person to track on how the employees manage their time. This means that they will have the capability to watch on how the employees carry themselves regardless the place that the business owner is. It will show the timing of how the employee arrives at work, and this will effectively assist an individual to know on how the employees will adjust their time to lead to better business growth. Go here for more info on what a scheduling software can do.
We are informed to bear in our mind that the implementation of the staff management app uses the less time needed in solving any issue that arises. Also, we are told that it has a benefit whereby in a scenario of the approval process it will guarantee a less time, and this will mean that the business can have multiple projects to fulfill and in the end, the project will be clean and ascertain to satisfy every business requirement accurately. With the advanced implementation of the staff management apps, it is evident that the business will save a lot of money from the expenditures of buying the papers. The unnecessary spending will be cut down in which it will assist in the business growth because the money used for the expense can be spent somewhere else to bring the significant increase. But most importantly the work schedule app will help in improving the employee to arrive on work timely.
