Title: Why is there a Container Shortage in the Shipping Industry? - Clarion Headings: Why is there a Container Shortage in the Shipping Industry? Why is there a Container Shortage in the Shipping Industry? Content: The limited availability of containers is one of the major reasons behind the unprecedented surge in sea freight rates in the second half of this year. The other factors that affected the prices are listed below: Strong demand to restock the inventory in North America and Europe. The hurry to transport goods and cargo ahead of the Chinese holiday, “golden week.” Carriers tightening capacity due to the coronavirus pandemic. The shortage of containers is not limited to one country. It is a global issue as containers are part of the global trade cycle. A few other factors that have contributed to the container shortage are: The transhipment ports of Colombo are congested. This is adding to the lead time.

Lateral bracing is typically installed at a maximum of 48" O.C. Consult ClarkDietrich’s Technical Services for proper spacing. Welding U-Channel to the stud is acceptable but should not be used in studs wider than 6". Caution: Clip Angles must be used with screws to brace cold-formed framing properly. U-Channel does not provide proper bracing if it is not adequately attached to the framing member. Extreme care should be taken in the quality of the weld.

Title: Essential Skills for College Students - Clarke University Headings: Essential Skills for College Students Clarke University COVID-19 Information Essential Skills for College Students It’s all you! Time Management Stress Management Study Skills Money Management Assertiveness Skills Well-Developed Self Care Skills Keeping Safe and Avoiding Risky Behaviors Seeking Assistance When Needed Respecting the Rules and Policies Displaying Honesty, Integrity and Perseverance Content: Well-Developed Self Care Skills Develop bedtimes based on physical need and health. Adequate sleep and a healthy diet can improve mood, athletic and classroom performance and coping strategies for stress. Exercise, relaxation and good hygiene are also important aspects of self-care. Keeping Safe and Avoiding Risky Behaviors Staying safe means learning to advocate for your well being. It means making smart and low-risk choices and planning for the “what ifs” in life. Seeking Assistance When Needed A big part of advocating for yourself is knowing when to ask for help. The college years are a time for learning new information, new life skills and a new way of relating with our world. Seeking help when you need it is a sign of strength and integrity, not an admission of failure. Respecting the Rules and Policies Every community has rules and policies and our college campus is no different. Our rules and policies apply to safety and fostering a positive community where all students are respectful of themselves, others and the environment.

Title: How does the human body react to heat? - Clarkson Controls Headings: How does the human body react to heat? How does the human body react to heat? Content: The symptoms will worsen the longer someone remains in the same conditions. Heat stress can affect individuals in different ways, but typical symptoms are: • an inability to concentrate • muscle cramps • heat rash • fainting • heat exhaustion – fatigue, giddiness, nausea, headache, moist skin • severe thirst – a late symptom of heat stress • heat stroke – hot dry skin, confusion, convulsions and even eventual loss of consciousness. Seasonal changes in outside air temperature can be a significant contributor to heat stress. Over time people adapt to hot, uncomfortable conditions by sweating more, (not pleasant) or by changing their behaviour to try and cool down, like removing clothing, (not ideal), drinking cool drinks, fanning themselves or reducing their work rate (ouch!). By managing and controlling the temperature in your workplace, office, school, college, public building etc, you are likely to improve the morale and productivity of your staff or students, consider a Building Management Control System from Clarkson Controls. Clarkson Controls design, manufacture and supply building management control systems with fully programmable BACnet sensors that control a buildings energy usage, heating, mechanical ventilation, automated windows, natural ventilation, Legionella control, air conditioning and lighting. Our design team offer bespoke building control systems to ensure your building space is comfortable, this includes air temperature, humidity and air movement.

Title: The ultimate student engagement observation checklist - Classcraft Blog - Resource hub for schools and districts Headings: The ultimate student engagement observation checklist The ultimate student engagement observation checklist 4 great classroom observation checklists for student engagement 1. Social and emotional markers checklist ☑ Is there evidence to suggest that students feel safe respectfully sharing an unpopular opinion or a view that may challenge their teacher? ☑ Does the teacher create a “growth mindset” atmosphere in the classroom? ☑ Are student successes celebrated? ☑ Is student misbehavior redirected through clear, matter-of-fact instructions? ☑ Are consequences clear, immediate, predictable, and connected to specific behaviors? ☑ Are student voices heard as often as the teacher’s voice? ☑ Is there evidence of student joy in the classroom? ☑ Is there evidence of teacher joy in their teaching work? 2. Intellectual markers checklist ☑ Does every student have an opportunity to share their thinking verbally, visually, or through writing? ☑ Does the teacher use strategies to solicit participation from every student in the room? ☑ Are objectives clear and framed around higher-order-thinking questions? ☑ Are objectives relevant to students? Are students told why a lesson is relevant? ☑ Do students have the opportunity to discuss higher-order-thinking questions with their peers? ☑ Does classroom discussion move from peer to peer, allowing them to respond to peer thinking, instead of always moving between teacher and student? ☑ Do students have the opportunity to solve problems collaboratively with their peers? ☑ Are there scaffolds in place to help all students meet the same objectives? ☑ Is there evidence that assignments have been differentiated based on student needs? ☑ Is risk-taking encouraged in a safe learning environment? ☑ Does the teacher have strategies for checking all students’ understanding? ☑ Are high standards for student behavior and work quality apparent in the classroom? 3. Physical markers checklist ☑ Are desks or seats arranged to facilitate discussion or collaboration? Is the desk or seat arrangement student-centered? ☑ Are there options for flexible seating? ☑ Do classroom visuals support content or skill goals from the curriculum? Do classroom visuals enhance or support student understanding of the material? 4. Structural markers checklist ☑ Are there clear routines and procedures in place that students have learned? ☑ Are lessons structured to include multiple learning modalities? ☑ Are lessons structured to avoid downtime? ☑ Do lessons include frequently changing tasks or activities? ☑ Are “brain breaks” present in the lesson structure? Find what works for your students Content: The following prompts may help you establish a plan to make your students feel included in their learning. ☑ Is there evidence to suggest that students feel safe respectfully sharing an unpopular opinion or a view that may challenge their teacher? Consider how the teacher reacts to student voices in the classroom, particularly those that, in an appropriate manner, challenge the material or express disagreement. Are genuine student voices heard? Is a range of student voices heard? ☑ Does the teacher create a “growth mindset” atmosphere in the classroom? Good classrooms create an environment that encourages growth. Evidence of such a growth mindset atmosphere may be observed through the teacher’s language as students encounter challenges or through visuals with growth mindset messages in the room. For example, a student who states “I can’t do this” might be encouraged to continue trying with a positive statement such as, “Don’t worry! You’ll get better with practice.”

Title: Problems With Common Core - Classical Conversations Headings: Content: Now, as more states adopt Common Core, standardized tests will shift to comply with these standards, which means that some private schools and home schools will end up teaching to these tests. They will be pressured to give up their mission to offer a different type of education from that offered by the public schools. As they conform to Common Core, educational choices will be reduced. This loss of educational liberty is another primary problem with Common Core. Governments are Reactive, Not Proactive One of the arguments in favor of Common Core State Standards is that the United States needs to reform education so that our students are competitive in the 21st century. There are several problems with this idea. The first is that government cannot prophesy the skills that will be needed in the future. Since no one can prophesy this, we must consider how to reform education to not be focused solely on job skills. The second problem is that government solutions are reactive, not proactive. Often, this approach creates more problems than it solves.

Music and place are linked through cultural traditions of particular regions. Through geography, students can see how place affects music and music affects place. • Develop students’ geospatial skills while teaching the context of music by referring to maps in music class. Even my kindergartners love looking at maps and use them to make personal connections with their music. “ Our song comes from Kansas? My aunt lives in Kansas!” • Compare and contrast songs with lyrics about particular places. What do the words and the musical elements of the songs tell about the places? • Teach about instruments that are unique to certain places, and find similarities between instruments from different parts of the world.

Title: Headings: Romanticism Literature Romanticism Literature Spanish Romanticism Literature Content: romanticism doesn't abide by the rules imposed during Neoclassicism. The Romantics mix different genres and verses, and don't respect the Aristotelian three-unit rule. Subjectivism: the feelings of the author are the most important thing in Romanticism, and they live them to the extremes. Their emotions are reflected in their works, and they can turn a landscape into a despairingly bleak scene to match their mood. Love is the most important feeling of all, and it should be lived intensely, whether good or bad. Attraction towards the nocturnal and the mysterious: Romantics loved anything that escaped reason, like miracles, visual hallucinations, and anything to do with witchcraft and world of spirits. Escape from their surroundings: Romantics reject the bourgeois world they live in, and in their works they evoke and imagine past and better days, and exotic lands.

Escape from their surroundings: Romantics reject the bourgeois world they live in, and in their works they evoke and imagine past and better days, and exotic lands. Romantics are attracted by the Middle Ages and Renaissance as times of mystery and occultism. "Costumbrismo" was one of the most important aspects of the school of Romanticism. Its main topics were the folkloric habits, especially those of the lower classes, and they used the language in its purest form. Costumbrismo was generated as a sign of melancholy and nostalgia towards past customs and ideals, and it contributed to the decadency of Romanticism and the beginning of Realism. In Spain, the main author of the Costumbrismo is Mesonero Romanos, who was more on the sidelines of Romanticism literature.

Title: Corn Whiskey Recipe – Clawhammer Supply Headings: Corn Whiskey Recipe Corn Whiskey Recipe Mashing Equipment Ingredients Procedure Here's a Bonus Download Distillation Content: Mashing Equipment First, making corn whiskey mash is pretty simple. You could get by with less, but having the following basic equipment will make this a lot easier. You'll want to have a large pot for mashing, a wort chiller for cooling liquid, a brewers thermometer, cheesecloth, a plastic funnel, and a spare plastic bucket for aeration. If you're looking to buy new or upgrade your existing gear, make sure to check out our recommended distillation equipment guide. Ingredients As far as ingredients go, you'll need the following: 8.5 lbs. of crushed corn (sometimes called flaked maize) 2 lbs. of crushed malted barley* 6.5 gallons of water 1 package of bread yeast (Fleischmann's Active Dry works well) *Note, barley MUST be malted, otherwise recipe will not work (more on this below). Procedure Heat 6.5 gallons of water to roughly 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the temperature is reached, cut off the heat.

Pour all of the crushed corn into the water and stir for 3-5 minutes. After that stir for 5-10 seconds every 5 minutes. The corn will turn to a "gel" as it gets stirred up. Do not be alarmed, this is perfectly normal. The corn is being broken down and starch is being released, which makes the mixture quite thick. Once the barley is added and mashing begins, the mixture will thin out considerably. Monitor temperature as you are stirring. Once temperature has dropped to 152 degrees, add the malted barley and stir for 1-2 minutes. Once stirred, cover and leave the mixture "rest" (sit) for 90 minutes.

During the rest enzymes in the malted barley will actually convert starches in the corn and the barley into sugar. Later, during the fermentation process, yeast will be added and they will actually turn the sugar into alcohol. So, to rephrase that, what we're ultimately trying to do during mashing is turn grain starch into sugar so we can the add yeast and turn the sugar into alcohol during the fermentation process. The enzymes found in malted grains (i.e. malted barley) are what make this conversion. Without enzymes, none of the starch will be converted into sugar and fermentation will fail.

So, It is critically important to use malted barley, and not regular flaked barley, for this recipe. While the mash is resting, it'd be a great idea to make a "yeast starter" by re-hydrating the yeast in a glass of water. For this recipe, add 2 packages of active dry bread yeast to 1/2 cup of 110 degrees F water along with 1 tsp. of sugar. Completing this step allows you to verify that the yeast is good (a "yeast cake" will form and expand on top of the water if it working).

Once added to the mash, the yeast will be able to begin rapid fermentation immediately. This reduces the chances of contamination of the mash by ambient bacteria. After 90 minute rest, the mash will need to be cooled down to a temperature suitable for adding yeast. This is generally somewhere in the neighborhood of 70 degrees.

It's always to cool the mash as quickly as possible to reduce the likelihood that the mash will become contaminated with ambient bacteria while it is sitting. Immersion chillers work great for this. We like to use a cheesecloth and we'll scoop a little bit into the cheesecloth bat at a time and then squeeze the hell out of it.

How to Make Moonshine Mash Here are three easy ways to make moonshine mash. The first two methods are based on traditional corn whiskey recipes. The third method is a cheap and easy (and a good starting point for folks new to distilling), but isn’t recommended for someone serious about making a high quality product. Keep in mind that crafting moonshine combines both science and art. Don't forget about the technical details, but don't let them bog you down either. It should be fun, so don't forget to sip on something good while you're mashing. We recommend starting with the 3rd recipe listed here (sugar shine) and then moving on to the more complicated, higher quality recipes. Also, if you plan on making a quality mash, make sure you're distilling it in a high quality copper still. 1- Corn Whiskey Early American farmers found that the same amount of corn sold for a few dollars at market could easily yield a few hundred dollars after it was mashed, fermented and distilled.

Corn also yields more sugar than other grain crops. Thus, mashing corn and turning it into alcohol became the standard method of alcohol production on the early American frontier, and “corn whiskey” was born. At Clawhammer Supply we’re sort of picky when it comes to moonshine and believe that pure all grain whiskey is the way to go when whipping up a batch of homemade hooch. We also prefer c orn whiskey because it's naturally sweet, it’s smooth, and it’s tradition. Here’s a simple way to make a corn whiskey mash with some additional options for the advanced distiller:

Boosted "Thin Mash" Moonshine Recipe Corn is somewhat difficult to work with during the mashing process because it gets extremely thick before starch begins to break down into sugar. This means that making a mash with corn that's higher than 8-10% alcohol can be somewhat difficult. To overcome this limitation, distillers sometimes add granulated sugar after the mash to increase alcohol content. To make thin mash moonshine, follow steps 1-6 above and simply add granulated sugar before moving on to step 7.

European Union’s import dependence Germany - OIL What impact will the Energiewende have on oil imports? Germany - GAS What impact will the Energiewende have on gas imports? Germany - COAL What impact will the Energiewende have on coal imports? Content: Overall dependence on energy imports will change dramatically for some countries as the energy transition progresses. The planned decarbonisation of all sectors by 2050 should all but eliminate fossil fuels from Germany’s energy consumption. On the path to climate neutrality by mid-century, the German government has introduced interim greenhouse gas emission targets for all sectors for the year 2030 with the 2019 climate action law. As fossil oil and gas are being phased out, many see the need to partly replace them with synthetic fuels. Renewable electricity is converted into hydrogen, methane or synthetic petrol ( power-to-x) to serve as energy sources, for example in industry, road freight transport, shipping or seasonal energy storage. According to several studies and politicians, Germany will have to import significant amounts of these green fuels, because space for generating electricity from renewables is limited in the country and power-to-x fuels could be produced significantly cheaper in other regions of the world. European Union’s import dependence The EU produces large parts of its energy domestically, with about a third from renewables and nuclear each, and the rest mostly solid fuels like hard coal and lignite, and some natural gas and crude oil. Still, most energy needs (about 60%) are met with imports. Almost two-thirds of the EU’s energy imports in 2018 were petroleum products, followed by gas (24%) and solid fossil fuels (8%). Russia was the main extra-EU supplier in all three categories (30% petroleum, 40% gas and 42% solid fossil fuels), followed by Norway for crude oil and natural gas.

Content: Germany imported 5,419 petajoules (PJ) of natural gas in 2019, according to the Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control ( BAFA ). This is an increase of 22 percent over the previous year. The country exported 2,821 PJ in 2019. Due to data privacy regulations, BAFA stopped publishing import volumes by country in 2016. However, the economy ministry says that Russia, Norway and the Netherlands continue to supply “large amounts.” In 2015, 35 percent of gas imports came from Russia, 34 percent from Norway and 29 percent from the Netherlands. In July 2018, an economy ministry spokesperson put Russia’s share in German natural gas imports at “about 40 percent.” Gas is imported to Germany exclusively by using pipeline s.

Currently, most of the gas is used in the industrial sector (e.g. for power and heat supply, or in chemical processes), followed by private households (mostly heating), public power and heating supply, manufacturing and trade. Natural gas consumption in transport is marginal. The lion's share of gas is burned to produce heat, and only a fraction is used to produce electricity. Many experts see natural gas as a bridge to a low-carbon economy because it produces much less CO₂ emissions when combusted than either coal or oil.

So before you start looking at how to dispose of your laptop, you need to ask yourself, do you really need to get rid of it in the first place? Do you really need a new one? And if your current laptop does have an issue, could it be repaired or have its software upgraded rather than replaced? Why is this important? Well, it comes back to the core principles of reducing waste that goes to landfill – reduce, reuse and recycle (in that order). ‘ Reduce’ in this context means reducing the number of natural resources you use – so you only buy things you really need.

Want to know more about what you can recycle? Content: Hence the questions above. The reason it’s important to reduce and reuse first is that they’re the most environmentally friendly options. Although recycling is better for the environment than sending something to a landfill, it still uses energy and resources like fuel and water. This means recycling inevitably increases your carbon footprint and environmental impact. How concerned are you about disinfecting while cleaning? I disinfect everything, even clothes I only disinfect surfaces Not too concerned, I only disinfect occasionally Step 2: Wipe your personal data (before you reuse or recycle your laptop) If you’ve decided you definitely need to get rid of your laptop, it’s vital you take steps to remove your personal data before you dispose of your laptop or computer. That applies whether you pass it on, donate it, sell it or recycle it. Some charities offer to do this for you. But the safest way is to do it yourself, so here’s our advice... Back up your files Before you do anything else, make sure you back up all the files you want to keep.

You can do this in a couple of different ways: Use online cloud storage, like Google Drive, OneDrive or iCloud Use an external hard drive – something you can easily pick up at any electrical retailer. Do a factory reset Resetting your laptop or computer to its ‘factory settings’ should leave only the bare operating system and pre-installed programs on the device – removing access to your files and any programs you’ve added. Check the manufacturer’s website or your laptop’s manual for advice on how to do this. Use data-shredding software To be absolutely certain your data is gone, you can use data-shredding software.

This Lifewire guide has some helpful suggestions. Remove the hard drive If you don’t want to try data-shredding software, the safest way to make sure your data isn’t accessed is to physically remove the hard drive from your laptop or computer before disposing of it. Just bear in mind that if you want the device to be reused, then you’ll need to replace the hard drive with a new one (although this is relatively inexpensive to do).

Dust from both paint and soil contributes to house dust, and lead in house dust is a major source of lead poisoning in babies and small children. Minimizing lead dust is therefore one of the most important things you can do for your children. Begin by blocking dust from your house by covering bare soil in your yard, removing outdoor shoes, covering deteriorated paint, and placing air filters in opened windows. Whatever dust makes it into your house can be removed using the cleaning strategies and procedures in this brochure. Lead dust particles come in two sizes: very small and microscopically small. Very small lead dust settles lightly and is easily stirred up into the air by dry sweeping.

Why did I get a negative test result? Rise of pregnancy hormone (hCG) in early pregnancy Is it possible to be pregnant and get a negative pregnancy test result? What is happening when my pregnancy test is negative, and I missed my period? When is it too early to test? Do I have to take the test first thing in the morning? Can I do the test wrong? What if there is something wrong with the test? I got a negative result, what should I do next? ​ Can a positive result be wrong? What does my positive result mean? Does a faint positive line mean I’m pregnant? Content: Some women still prefer to test on the day they expect their period, when all home pregnancy tests claim to be over 99% accurate. Conception usually happens around two weeks before your period would normally be expected. If you’re trying for a baby you can use an ovulation test not only to know your peak fertile days, but it will inform you about your cycle, so you know when it’s best to take the test. This can help you feel more confident in the results you see. Do I have to take the test first thing in the morning? Not unless you are testing early. Otherwise your test should detect hCG any time of day if you are pregnant. However, if you’re taking a pregnancy test before your missed period, it’s better to test first thing in the morning when concentrations of hCG are the highest. You can also dilute the amount of hCG in your urine by drinking too much liquid, so try not to drink more than you usually would. Can I do the test wrong?

Last updated on May 25, 2019 by Alex Andrews George In this post, we discuss the causes, course, and significance of the American Civil War (1861-1865). We will also see how Abraham Lincoln made a difference in history, in spite of the opposition he faced. The American Civil War: The Background When American won Independence from England in 1776, there were 13 colonies which formed a federal government. Colonies expanded from east coast to west forming 34 states by 1861. There were differences between states in the north and states in the south – which resulted in the American Civil War.

The issue with the attitude towards slavery Industrialized northern states preferred paid labourers while agricultural southern states which had large plantations were dependent on slave labour. Slavery was abolished in northern states in 1804 and they became ‘free states’. 3. Movement for the abolition of slavery A strong movement for the abolition of slavery began in the north. It called for the repeal of the controversial Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 (this act had mandated the return of runaway slaves to their masters). 4. The fear of reforms by Abraham Lincoln and the Republican party The immediate cause of the civil war was the American Presidential election in which the Republican Party candidate, Abraham Lincoln, won (1860). While Abraham Lincoln stood for freedom of slaves, the Democratic candidate Stephan Arnold Douglas wanted slavery to continue.

The course of the American Civil War Seven southern states declared their secession from the Union and established a Southern government – the Confederate States of America on February 9, 1861. The Confederacy adopted its own Constitution. Jefferson Davis was its President. War broke out in April 1861 when the Confederates attacked a U.S. fortress (Fort Sumter) at South Carolina. 4 more states joined the Confederacy, making the total number of states 11.

Lincoln gave the famous Gettysburg Address – where he set before the nation the task of preserving the Union and democracy. His vision was a government of the people, by the people and for the people. The war ended with the surrender of all the Confederate armies and the collapse of the Confederate government in 1865.

Only if you are guided the right way. Quantum Field Theory (QFT) Non Quantum Relativistic Mechanics vs Relativistic Quantum Mechanics vs Quantum Gravity Integrate Learning With Test-Taking! Is UPSC Prelims your weak area? Content: When both quantum mechanics and classical mechanics cannot apply, such as at the quantum level with many degrees of freedom, Quantum Field Theory (QFT) becomes applicable. QFT deals with small distances and large speeds with many degrees of freedom as well as the possibility of any change in the number of particles throughout the interaction. The scheme of Quantum Field Theory is that fermions interact by exchanging bosons. We will see more about Fermions and Bosons later. To deal with large degrees of freedom at the macroscopic level, statistical mechanics becomes valid. Statistical mechanics explores the large number of particles and their interactions as a whole in everyday life. Statistical mechanics is mainly used in thermodynamics. Non Quantum Relativistic Mechanics vs Relativistic Quantum Mechanics vs Quantum Gravity In physics, relativistic mechanics refers to mechanics compatible with special relativity (SR) and general relativity (GR). It provides a non-quantum mechanical description of a system of particles, or of a fluid, in cases where the velocities of moving objects are comparable to the speed of light c. As a result, classical mechanics is extended correctly to particles traveling at high velocities and energies, and provides a consistent inclusion of electromagnetism with the mechanics of particles. This was not possible in Galilean relativity, where it would be permitted for particles and light to travel at any speed, including faster than light.

So they reached a political settlement where they divided the territory of Africa within themselves with no regard for the wishes of the indigenous people of these lands! The settlement was reached in the Berlin conference of 1884. In 1870, less than 10% of African territory was under European control. By 1914, it had increased to almost 90%! This is known as the scramble of Africa. Decolonization of Africa It was the cultural, economic and political process through which colonies broke free from the colonial empires and integrated themselves to the new ‘world order’. Cultural: Colonial empires were generally founded on principles of Racism and ‘right to rule’ over ‘inferior races’. These narratives had to be challenged.

Tribal differences: Many countries were brought together by the sheer military forces of the colonizers. Lack of a common cultural past and tribal belligerence meant that they slaughtered each other inside these artificial boundaries imposed upon them. This led to worst genocides in Nigeria, Congo (Zaire), Burundi and Rwanda. Cold war rivalry: Since most of them were resource-rich, the two major blocs didn’t want more states slipping into the orbit of its rival power. This led to prolonged civil wars. Eg:

From goal setting to daily operations, it can be easy for an organization to focus on what it feels it can control internally. Yet it’s critical not to overlook the uncontrollable, external factors that impact a business. The Importance Of External Factors What are external factors? The economy, politics, competitors, customers, and even the weather are all uncontrollable factors that can influence an organization’s performance. This is in comparison to internal factors such as staff, company culture, processes, and finances, which all seem within your grasp. A company’s stability and profitability are interdependent on its ability to quickly identify and respond to changes in the external environment.

Often, this information is shared in the form of a strategic or departmental report. There are a million reasons why sharing these reports with the citizens in your municipality is a good idea, but in the end, it boils down to local government transparency. Locals are saying, “I’m a tax-paying member of this community—and I want to know where the money is going.” And these requests are both straightforward and fair. But doing this doesn’t just give current city or town residents a helping hand; it’s also great information for individuals looking to relocate to the area. These documents help them understand how funds are being allocated, offers a better idea of what the community is like, provides more insight into whether local services are modern and competitive, and much more. In the end, those seeking this report just want to know that the fund pool they are contributing to is being managed wisely and appropriately. What Should Be Reported On?

A good user experience online is very important. Hiding your reports in a deep, dark corner of your website—a place that takes 15 clicks to get to—doesn’t convey transparency. Sharing your reports on social media is an excellent way to create interest in the reports and generate social sharing. Be sure the information you’re releasing is relevant. Residents don’t care about reports and data that are several years old—they want to know about what has happened recently, on a quarterly, semi-annual, and annual basis. Keep in mind that the reports you publish will likely also be viewed by those at prospective businesses looking to move to your municipality, peers in nearby towns, those in municipalities across the country, and more. So, gear your strategic reports toward a broader audience so the information is relevant to anyone interested.

What’s the point otherwise? It’s simply unfair to those who spend the time answering your questions if you don’t plan on utilizing the information. And while gathering feedback during city hall meetings is one way of gauging citizen satisfaction, it isn’t a statistically validated method. Furthermore, city hall meetings may only attract a certain demographic (for instance, stay-at-home parents or those who have a vested interest in the topic at hand), whereas a survey can represent the feedback of your entire community. What should be included in the survey? It’s important to cover all of the areas your municipality focuses on so you know where you should dedicate your time and resources. But keep in mind that areas your citizens are satisfied with will be different than areas they feel are important—so you need to ask them about both. For example, a citizen may feel that the fire department isn’t meeting their satisfaction while feeling that the fire department is critically important.

Laura Chandler Director & Animal Rescuer FILED UNDER Strategic Planning A municipal development plan (sometimes referred to as a community sustainability plan) is a framework used by municipalities to address long-term community development, land use, and growth in a responsible way. For example, have you considered how your municipality could manage a change in housing demand in the years to come? Or, how your city will respond to future mass transit needs? These are problems that can be addressed appropriately in a municipal development plan. Do you have a complete municipal strategy? If not, it will be much harder for you to create an achievable development plan. Priorities differ from one municipality to the next, depending on things like natural resource dependency, rate of population increase, tourism, natural disaster prevalence, and more. And because municipal development plans take a long-term approach (considering developmental changes over at least the next 20 years), they are powerful decision-making tools that address both current needs and future implementations. To get started, we’ve outlined five Canadian development plan examples, followed by a number of things to consider in order to be certain your development plan aligns with your strategy.

If your municipality has (or is planning to create) a municipal development plan, be sure to consider the following: READ NEXT Content: Have you taken your municipal strategy into consideration? While municipal development plans and municipal strategic plans aren’t synonyms, there is a great deal of overlap between the two. For example, while they are similar in terms of goals, a development plan looks at these goals “from a land use and development perspective” (according to the city of Canmore, Alberta ). Additionally, a development plan is meant to “shape the city’s urban form and direct the development and implementation of more detailed plans” (according to the city of Edmonton, Alberta ). A strategic plan, on the other hand, takes all areas of a city into consideration, including citizen services, operational efficiency, employee development, revenue and expense management, and public safety. If your municipality has (or is planning to create) a municipal development plan, be sure to consider the following: Your budget. A city strategic plan takes into account a city’s main goals (objectives) for a three- to five-year period. Those goals can then be used to allocate your budget. Because municipal development plans typically look at a much longer time period (20+ years), it may be difficult to determine your budget with a development plan alone.

Urban planners should think about their plans from the perspectives of all who will be impacted by their efforts. And since implementing the plan uses taxpayer dollars, the plan should be as practical and cost-effective as possible. From a local government perspective, urban planning touches on numerous city-life elements—new and pre-existing land, buildings, roads, communal spaces, transportation, economic development, infrastructure, and the environment, among others. We’ve broadly categorized these aspects into different conceptual areas below. These areas are commonly referred to as types of urban planning, but it’s important to understand that they are not mutually exclusive—for an urban plan to be cohesive, it should include many or all of the below areas. 7 Types of Urban Planning 1. Strategic Urban Planning Strategic urban planning focuses on setting high-level goals and determining desired areas of growth for a city or metropolitan area. The result of the planning process is a strategic plan —also called the development plan, core strategy, or comprehensive plan. The strategic plan’s goals may include easing transportation throughout the city, creating more community spaces, improving citizens’ quality of life, or encouraging people to visit or move to the city.

Sentence structure is affected by changing the order in which words should flow, the pattern of words written or spoken etc. If you’re listening or reading material which uses schemes, it will be sweet to the ear. You’ll love the flow of words or sound of certain words. REASONS FOR USING FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE There are some good reasons why figurative language is used. In fact, it’s not so much a selection of unique words for the sake of an interesting conversation. Figurative language is very much a part of our everyday life conversations. You may not have known what they’re called but once you see some examples, you’ll realize they are things you use every day. Here are a few reasons why in some cases, figurative language is preferred over literal language.

You may not have known what they’re called but once you see some examples, you’ll realize they are things you use every day. Here are a few reasons why in some cases, figurative language is preferred over literal language. 1. Extra beauty – as mentioned, figures of speech can make changes to the structure of a sentence. They can change the arrangement of words and often help create a unique sound despite the words used not necessarily being related. An example of how this works is by ending the lines in a poem’s verse or song using rhyming words. This creates a musical sound which makes the poem or song sweeter to the ear.

Watch on 0:00 0:00 0:00 / 0:00 Live • There are two major definitions of holistic marketing. According to the Business Dictionary, holistic marketing is “a marketing strategy that is developed by thinking about the business as a whole, its place in the broader economy and society, and in the lives of its customers. It attempts to develop and maintain multiple perspectives on the company’s commercial activities.” Philip Kotler, an American marketing professor and consultant on the other hand defines holistic marketing as a concept that it “ based on the development, design, and implementation of marketing programs, processes, and activities that recognize their breadth and interdependencies. Holistic marketing recognizes that ‘everything matters’ with marketing and that a broad, integrated perspective is necessary to attain the best solution .” The holistic approach to marketing is based on the premise that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. For instance, in an automobile, there are several different parts. The engine, the wheels, the brakes, the exhaust system, the electrical system, the steering wheel, you name it. In order for the automobile to function as it should, not only should each of these parts be working, but they should all be able to work in concert with each other.

The car won’t work very well if the steering wheel works independent from the wheels or any other part. Holistic marketing uses a similar approach, such that all aspects of the business work together as an interconnected entity with a common goal. With the holistic approach, marketing is a shared activity that involves everyone related to the business. Ordinarily, a business is comprised of various departments, such as finance, sales, marketing, HR, R&D, procurement, and so on. Under the traditional marketing approach, the function of each of these departments was siloed from the rest of the organization.

COMPONENTS OF HOLISTIC MARKETING Relationship Marketing Integrated Marketing Internal Marketing Socially Responsible Marketing Performance marketing IMPORTANCE OF THE HOLISTIC MARKETING APPROACH Brand Building Consistency Efficiency Effectiveness THE HOLISTIC MARKETING FRAMEWORK Value Exploration Value Creation Value Delivery WRAPPING UP Share your thoughts and experience Content: The marketing and selling of product was the responsibility of the sales and marketing department, while other departments focused on other things. Under the holistic marketing approach, all the departments within the organization work together towards the marketing and sale of the organization’s products. They are all required to come together to create a unified and positive brand image in the minds of the customer. All of them have the responsibility of making sure that the customer buys from the organization rather than the competition. The holistic marketing approach also encourages the unification of marketing communications. In today’s environment where customers have multiple channels for gaining information about a company – social media, the company website, paid ads on the internet, traditional mass media channels, brochures, bill boards, and so on – it is very easy for a business to send out a fragmented message. Unfortunately, this only makes the business lose credibility in the eyes of the customer. Holistic marketing ensures that a uniform message is sent to the customer regardless of the channel they use to gain information about the company. This in turn contributes to a stronger brand image. In addition, the holistic approach considers all the stakeholders who are involved in ensuring the success of a business.

Extrinsic vs. Intrinsic Motivation Components of Motivation Motivation and Morale: How Is Motivation Different from Morale? The Importance of Motivation THEORIES OF MOTIVATION Instincts – Evolutionary Theory of Motivation Drive-Reduction Theory of Motivation Temporal Motivation Theory (TMT) Arousal Theory of Motivation Incentive Theory of Motivation and Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Motivation Drives and Needs – Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs HOW TO MOTIVATE YOURSELF The Scientific Ways of Motivation Content: A stable workforce creates a great company image and helps in the induction of more competent people into the company’s fold. THEORIES OF MOTIVATION Instincts – Evolutionary Theory of Motivation The evolutionary theory suggests that all living creatures, including humans, tend to display behaviors that assist in their genetic wellness. According to evolutionary psychology, genetic evolution manifests itself in the behavioral traits of humans and other beings. Since this theory champions the survival of the fittest, it postulates that all the genetic benefits are eventually passed on to the next generation. An important component of such genetic mutation is instincts. An instinct is a sub-conscious behaviour that enables an individual to automatically cope with changes in external stimuli. Since human behaviour is largely guided by instincts, it can be safely stated that behavioral progressions such as motivation have been an integral part of human evolution. Drive-Reduction Theory of Motivation The drive-reduction theory is centered on homeostasis and how people cope with disturbances to it. Homeostasis is the ability of humans and other living beings to maintain equilibrium in their internal environments. A human has certain primary and secondary drives that he needs to satisfy.

This theory suggests that the more a job is near its deadline, the more its perceived importance increases. In other words, time plays a crucial role in motivating people to do certain jobs. Other important elements of this theory are procrastination and goal-setting. TMT was developed by Piers Steel and Cornelius J. König. A mathematical representation of the theory is as follows: Motivation = (Expectancy x Value) / (1 + Impulsiveness x Delay) Here, motivation is the desire for a favorable outcome, expectancy is the probability of success, value is the expected reward, impulsiveness is the individual’s reaction to delay, and delay is the time taken for realization of the goal. Arousal Theory of Motivation The arousal theory is an extension of the drive-reduction theory of motivation. This theory champions the motivational effect of the neurotransmitter dopamine in the human psyche. According to the arousal theory, the human psyche is reward-sensitive, and an individual gets motivated to carry out any activity that optimizes their level of arousal.

It’s also common to see totally different results when the same group is given a new task that requires a new set of skills. Some of those who thrived in the first task could find themselves struggling in the second task and those who struggled could end up at the top. What this means, is that people are very different in the way they understand things. It’s common to feel frustrated when you have to teach a concept to a group of people and some of them just can’t get it. This is regardless of the fact that others in the group – who were exposed to the same training methods and materials – were able to understand the concept fully in a short time.

THE MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE THEORY The Multiple Intelligence Theory is a psychological theory about the human mind. It is against the notion that intelligence is a single trait that we are born with and can’t change. It states that there are at least eight different human intelligences that all human beings possess. This theory came about after conducting research on the way people understand things. Howard Gardner believes that it documents the extent to which one student will have different kinds of minds which make her understand, perform, remember and learn in a unique way. Gardner identified eight different “intelligences” that influence the way we perceive and understand things.

Gardner identified eight different “intelligences” that influence the way we perceive and understand things. The difference between you and me will be in the strength of these intelligences. However, it’s important to note that the eight intelligences identified by Gardner are not exhaustive in determining an individual’s learning characteristics. Rather than seeing intelligence as a single ability, Gardner differentiated it into eight specific modalities. These different modalities should be put into consideration when designing an educational system. The system should provide learners with different ways of understanding concepts.

Title: Guide on Individual Counseling | Cleverism Headings: Guide on Individual Counseling Guide on Individual Counseling COUNSELING OVERVIEW MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT COUNSELING #1 Counseling tells you what decisions to make. #2 Counseling will sort out all your problems. #3 Counseling works in the same way for everyone. INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING Individual vs. Group Counseling Advantages and Disadvantages of Individual Counseling TIPS ON UNDERGOING INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING Be prepared. Physically, mentally, and psychologically. Know what you need. Find a good counselor or therapist. Keep an open mind. Be patient. Make that call. Set up that appointment. Share your thoughts and experience Content: Counseling can be undertaken even if there is no problem that needs an immediate solution. In order to recognize the importance of counseling, it would be a good idea to take a look at the results that can be achieved from counseling. The client becomes more self-aware, gaining deeper insight of herself. This understanding promotes greater self-acceptance and appreciation, thus encouraging her to further improve on her strengths and good points, and change for the better where necessary. The client’s set of values and beliefs, which were thought to be permanent and set in stone, are challenged and become more open to change. This makes more room for flexibility, allowing the client to be more adaptable and adjustable to change. As a result, the person is more open to changing her way of thinking, behaving and feeling. Along with self-awareness, the client also becomes more aware of the people around her. She gains a better understanding of other people – why they do what they do, what motivates them and what is important to them. This increased sensitivity and understanding paves the way towards building and maintaining stronger relationships.
