Respond To Components Of Organizational Commitment – Coursework Example

Respond to Components of Organizational Commitment Lecturer Tim Organizational commitment is the psychological attachment that an employee has in regards to the organization. It is very essential to determine organizational success and its great role in determining whether an employee will be loyal to the organization and work zealously towards attaining the organizational goals (Laureate Education, 2012). Herscovitch & Meyer (2002) defined organizational commitment as the strength of the responsibility feeling that the employee has perceived towards attaining the organizational goals.
Martin has demonstrated to have both affective and normative commitment as he has close connections with his supervisors and coworkers and has developed commitments to constituencies. However, his commitment is slipping away due to organizational pressures. According to Meyer, Allen and Topolnytsky 1998, affective commitment is positively related to a positive emotional attachment to the organization. Thus, the employee will strongly identify with the organizational goals and desires to be part of the team. However, affective commitment characteristics can be identified but are not clearly defined and are not reliable and consistent. Affective commitment can be affected by several factors as illustrated in Martins case diminishing the employee’s organizational commitment leading to employee’s turnout. It is important for the organization to maintain good relations with their employees to enhance their commitment. The normative commitment that Martin has towards the societal obligation will, however, strengthen his commitment towards his job.
On the other hand, Stacy feels obligated to remain with the organization because he benefited from the school loan repayment program thus, illustrating normative commitment. In this case, she feels committed to the organization because she ought to. Normative commitment is higher in the organizations that value their employee’s loyalty and an employee with a higher commitment level has more chances of contributing to the success of the organization as they have higher levels of job satisfaction. High levels of employee’s job satisfaction are important in reducing the rate of employee’s turnover and enable the organization to retain their talents. However, a major disadvantage associated with normative commitment is that it causes strain on the employees as they are forced to stay committed to their work through incentives provision and a feeling of guilt will ensue if they do not (Meyer and Allen, 1991). Even if Stacy gets a better job, she will be committed towards the organization.

Where are your developers located?

For now, all our developers are located in Eastern Europe and Israel.

How do you vet and test your developers?

We carefully vet and test our developers by three main parameters: overall adequacy, English level, and qualifications. Out of 100 CVs, only four make it up to work with our customers.

What sort of tasks can be done by your Ninjas?

Any tasks that associated with the web development: new features, bug fixing, changes on the front-end, work with the server, etc.

What technologies do you work with?

We work with PHP, WordPress, Magento, Drupal, HTML5/CSS3, JavaScript, node.js. Some of the developers know Shopify, Wix and other development platforms. However, if you are in doubt please feel free to ask the support – they will address your specific request.

Do you work on Shopify/Wix/Weebly etc.?

We have developers who work with the most popular development platforms, feel free to ask the support whether the platform you need is supported.

Do you handle design and layout assistance?

Our front-end developers are skilled in handling changes in design or creating a layout based on customers’ examples. If you need a designer, please, reach out to our support manager.

Is there any way to get phone support with the standard or professional plan?

We offer phone support in the Business plan exclusively. But you may initiate a kickoff call for any of your projects though.

Could I upgrade if I need extra hours, or downgrade if there are months where I don’t need so much help?

You may purchase extra hours for a reduced rate or upgrade if you’d like.

What days of the week do you work?

Our developers are freelancers and each one has their own schedule.

The working hours for the support are 6 a.m. UTC – 1 a.m. UTC on working days and 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. UTC on weekends.

I can register without purchasing, correct?

Yes, correct. But once you are OK with the estimate, you need to add funds to your account to initiate the development.

Can I get an estimate before work starts?

Yes, please provide links to the websites, access to the admin panel and the FTP. We can then assign a developer who will give you an estimate and maybe some suggestion what could be done better. If the estimate is Ok, you choose a plan or pay hourly and the developer starts development.

What languages are you working on?

The support speaks English. Also, we make sure that every developer has decent written English level.

Can I hire a fulltime developer?

Sure. Please contact support in the chat.

Do you back it up prior to the edits, and have that to rollback to in case of any issues with the work?

The developers usually follow customer’s instructions. If they think that something is necessary, like backups or staging area, they will offer this to a customer. In any case, in the most cases the developers download websites locally, so they don’t work on a live website and have the ability to work with the code.

Steppenwolf's durability is crazy high when you ignore all the hater theories. Superman literally pounded him to ground, heat vision from a meter away with a considerable power behind it and he still gets up and goes to fight and his armor is still intact even when Wonder Woman tries to cut him again after all that beating he took, still ignores her attack. Even if you put Hela and Fenris to Team 1, still same outcome.

There is no win against him if you don't bring a fully adopted Kryptonian.

Bloody show after membrane sweep 40 4 TMI PIC

Signs of Labor
Posted 12/01/2018

I had a membrane sweep yesterday, Friday, afternoon and was 2cm and 80% and firing the sweep she got me to 3cm and could suddenly feel the building water sac. I cramped and started feeling really crappy, like sick, all evening. I just woke up to my bloody show so even though it's 230 in the morning, I'm going for a walk seeing as otherwise I'll just be lying awake. Today night be the day though!

SMART pensions opt in or out

Family Finances
Posted 06/04/2018
Has anyone else been asked to decide whether to opt in or out of SMART pension contributions to before work calculates maternity pay?
As far as I understand it you either don't pay tax on your contributions before mat leave starts but then your 90% is slightly lower or visa versa.
My finance department aren't allowed to advise but apparently most people opt out, though the difference is marginal.
I've got no idea where to start to calculate this, does anyone know if there's a handy online tool to help? I've had a quick Google but can't find anything.

Sorry If this makes absolutely no sense!

Mysterious Chirping

A couple of years ago I began to hear a high-pitched, metallic, chirping/chittering/rustling noise - sort of like tiny birds or insects - coming from somewhere behind me in my 1999 Toyota Tacoma pickup. The sound would only occur at speeds between about 30 and 55 mph, and would become louder after a long period of driving. Pressing down the accelerator would bring it on, but it would be loudest and chirpiest during the act of letting up on the accelerator. Coasting down a mountain road with my foot off the gas after a long day of driving made it very loud! I’ve had a couple of mechanics listen to it (one elderly car guy couldn’t hear sounds that high-pitched) and have sat my brother in the back of the truck to try to figure out where it’s coming from. The noise is still there, and can occur at lower speeds than formerly. In fact it’s there pretty continuously above about 15 mph, but still varies with acceleration as above. Any ideas?

Bad U-joint, loose heat shield or other such piece of sheet metal, worn/loose bed mounts are some possibilities.

I agree that it is likely to be a dry U-joint.
This is something that you should check out sooner, rather than later, because–if it is a dry U-joint–the inevitable result is dropping your drive shaft while on the highway, and that could ruin your entire day, in addition to doing some serious damage to the truck and the pavement.

Have you checked the brake pads? Have you checked the fluid level in the rear differential? Maybe a bearing could be bad? @cigroller u-joint is another possibility.

In the early 1990’s, founder, Wendy Down encountered an astonishing metaphysical promise:

“There is no desire that this time-space reality can inspire in you that it doesn’t also have the ability to fulfill.” (Abraham)

Since then, Wendy has been on a relentless quest to prove this promise true.  Pushing every limit of reason, she’s focused on realizing the most impossible, inconceivable, and nervy desires imaginable.

Along the way she’s come to know it to be unequivocally true:   If you can imagine it, you can live it!

Best of all, Wendy’s personal experience has show her exactly what it takes to realize any desire.  Hint:  its often a reinvention of who you are…

Verizon Has Chance To Take Away Super-Cheap Plan, Doesn't Take It

Based on what you read here, all telecommunications companies are money vacuums that exist solely to find excuses to kick customers off perfectly good plans and extract as much money as possible. Right? Well…maybe not. Stephen doesn’t use his phone much, and is perfectly happy buying one $100 prepaid card per year to keep it activated, paying 35 cents per minute to make actual calls. Verizon has had a few opportunities over the years to take this plan away from him, but they never do. And he appreciates it.

Verizon gets a ton of flak on this site, so let me give them their due for once.

I don’t need to use my cell phone very much, so I’m completely satisfied with my ancient (like 10 years) pre-paid calling plan : $.35 per minute, triple minutes on the weekend. I can live without being able to send pix from my clunky flip phone. I don’t need data. Verizon would love to bump me up to a plan less useful to me and more lucrative to them, but every year they are happy to sell me a $100 card (only available by phone, not on their site), which is good for a year and is pretty much exactly what I spend.

For the first few years with the phone I didn’t know the $100 card existed, so I was buying $30 cards good for two months on their site, which led to me building up a huge balance. I’ve been working it down year by year until now stands at around $250.

Well, I recently forgot to buy my new card, which of course wiped out my balance and knocked me off my ideal plan. I called up a day after my old one expired, fully expecting them to chortle evilly and say, “Now we have you at last!” But no. The customer service rep said this was no problem, she restored my balance, sold me a new card and sent me happily on my way. Seeing as my cell needs won’t change any time soon, it means they’ve kept me a customer for many more years.

I should add, a few years ago, my phone was stolen, which I thought would again kill my balance and plan. But Verizon happily transferred it all to my new clunky flip phone. Maybe this is normal for phone plans. But given all the flack they get, I didn’t think it would be normal for me.

Lest you think I’m their flack, I did give up my landline service for Vonage, which costs less and fits my calling habits better.

It’s not exactly an “above and beyond” story, but it is nice to hear about a company passing up an opportunity to hold a customer upside down until money falls out of his pickets.

Immune system remedies - fight low immunity naturally

If you have problems with immunity, you are most likely to get frequent bouts of cold, flu and some of those minor infections. Antibiotics are indeed the wonder drugs that they are made out to be, but recklessness in their use is not recommended.

It is a misnomer that antibiotics can treat and cure all viral and bacterial infections. Antibiotics do not have any affect on viruses and unnecessary administration can actually be counter productive. It can make your body immune to the drug and lead to bringing down of immunity. A natural antibiotic alternative can go a long way to help in prevent further damage that drugs can potentially cause and relieve symptoms as well.

Your body’s immune system is the first line of defense against foreign invaders: bacteria, pathogens, viruses, parasites or anything that can potentially cause disease. The spleen, thymus, lymphatic system and tonsils are all part of this extensive network of organs, tissues and cells including white blood cells, which help in self healing. Herbs for immune system and natural foods should be made a part of your daily routine to strengthen this complex system.

Low immunity is either primary or acquired. Primary conditions are mostly due to a genetic predisposition. Acquired conditions of low immunity are greatly affected by eating habits, lifestyle and overuse of medication for minor ailments like common cold etc.

There is scientific evidence that a natural diet, herbal antibiotics and an active lifestyle boost your immune system health and help in avoiding simple diseases as common cold or life threatening diseases like cancer.

* Vitamin A, C and E are most essential for maintaining immune system health. A handful of almonds daily will provide you sufficient quantity of Vitamin E. guava, oranges and other citrus fruits are a natural source of Vitamin C.
* Garlic is perhaps the oldest cultivated plant in the world and its history as an effective herbal antibiotic and a booster for the immune system dates back to the days when the pyramids were built. It is natural builder of white blood cells, one of the most important constituents of the immune system.
* Carrots and other red, orange and dark green vegetables contain carotenes, which are converted into Vitamin A by the liver. These are extremely helpful for protecting thymus gland. The thymus is a ductless glandular organ at the base of the neck that produces lymphocytes. It plays an important role in producing immunity and preventing atrophies due to advanced age
* Zinc is another element that is essential for immunity. The element is next only to iron in concentration in the body. Its deficiency can impact the immune system in more ways than one. It acts as a catalyst in immune responses for killing pathogens and necessary for white blood cells to perform their functions. Peanuts, peanut butter, and legumes and dark meat of chicken, beef and lamb are excellent sources of zinc.
* Six ounces of natural and fresh yogurt every day keeps the intestinal flora healthy for proper digestion. The yoghurt bacteria convert the lactose in milk into lactic acid, which is perfect for maximizing calcium absorption, vaginal and bladder infections.
* Among the herbs for immune system, Echinacea and the Ayurvedic herb, Ashwagandha ((Withania somnifera) are worth mentioning for their stimulating affect on the immune system.

There is an old saying that says that whenever in doubt: go back to nature. A natural lifestyle and home cooked food coupled with daily exercise will keep many ailments at bay.

More Group success for Zoffany with Dolce Strega

The 2016 European Flat season is still in its infancy but Zoffany notched his third stakes winner of the year on Monday when Dolce Strega (3f Zoffany-New Plays, by Oratorio) came out on top at the Curragh. Renzo Forni’s home-bred, an easy conditions race winner at Dundalk in April, took the G3 Canford Cliffs EBF Athasi Stakes for trainer Willie McCreery and jockey Billy Lee. “When I went up to Dundalk I thought she was thrown in so if she had been beat I would have looked a right eejit!” said McCreery. “But she was able to come on here and it all worked out. "She's tough and strengthened up a lot of the winter. Billy gave her a brave ride. He got caught in a pocket and I wasn't sure he would get there. The owners bred her so I'm delighted for them. "She got a mile last year when she was second in a Listed race here. Seven or a mile suits as she travels so well and is a very good moving filly."

Kissed Navan

Pour Moi’s sister Kissed live Oaks prospect for Galileo

Kissed (3f Galileo-Gwynn, by Darshaan) a three-parts sister to last year’s Derby hero Pour Moi, looks a live Epsom Classic contender herself after running away with Listed Salsabil Stakes at Navan on Sunday. The Aidan O’Brien-trained Galileo filly is now 4/1 second-favourite for the G1 Oaks, behind the market leader Maybe (3f Galileo-Sumora, by Danehill), after her amazing victory by eight and a half lengths at Navan. Kissed, a 900,000gns yearling, won a 17-runner maiden at Navan on her only start last season and jockey Joseph O’Brien believes there could be better to come. "She jumped and travelled and never looked like she’d get in trouble," said the rider. "You’d have to be very happy with her today. We thought she improved a lot since last year and she proved that here. The plan wasn’t to make the running but we jumped very quick and we were going to end up trotting around otherwise. So I let her hack away in front, we went a nice even pace and were never in any doubt. "You’d like to think she’ll come on from this as it’s her first run on the year. It’s very slow ground out there and she’d like it a little bit faster, so hopefully she’ll improve. "Obviously her brother Pour Moi won the Derby last year so you’d hope she would handle the track at Epsom but that’s still a long way off. With natural improvement you’d like to hope she might become that kind of (Oaks) filly because she won her maiden very easily and won very well again today." Kissed was winning a day after Galileo’s son Niwot (7g Galileo-Too Darn Hot, by Noble Bijou) won the G1 ATC Sydney Cup at Randwick and Imperial Monarch (3c Galileo-Ionian Sea, by Slip Anchor) took Sandown’s G3 Classic Trial.

Quiver: Consistent Object Sharing for Edge Services

By et al. Michael K. Reiter

We present Quiver, a system that coordinates service proxies placed at the “edge” of the Internet to serve distributed clients accessing a service involving mutable objects. Quiver enables these proxies to perform consistent accesses to shared objects, by migrating the objects to proxies performing operations on those objects. These migrations dramatically improve performance when operations involving an object exhibit geographic locality, since migrating this object into the vicinity of proxies hosting these operations will benefit all such operations. Other workloads benefit from Quiver dispersing the compute load across the proxies, and saving the costs of sending operation parameters over the wide-area when these are large. Quiver also supports optimizations for single-object reads that do not involve migrating the object. We detail the protocols for implementing object operations and for accommodating the addition, involuntary disconnection and voluntary departure of proxies. We also evaluate Quiver through experiments on PlanetLab. Finally, we discuss the use of Quiver to build an e-commerce application and a distributed network traffic modeling service

Haptic interaction with virtual mechanical systems

By Cs. Antonya, T. Butnaru and D. Talaba

In this paper some possible solutions for interaction with virtual mechanical systems are presented. For the purpose of manipulating and interaction with mechanical systems in a realistic manner various haptic devices can be used. To assess the added value of the interaction the authors conducted a series of experiments involving multimodal interaction. Three possible cases and applications are presented: (i) when the user is interacting with a completely virtual mechanical system – for this a desktop virtual reality system was used including a PHANToM ® haptic device, (ii) when the user is manipulating one element of the mechanical system in a CAVE-like visualization system using the stringbased SPIDAR haptic device, and (iii) when the user is interacting with one part of a mechanism (the mechanical system being composed by one or more real and virtual elements and joints – using augmented reality techniques and see-through featured head mounted display): a crank linked to a torque controlled electrical motor. The research showed the difficulties when trying to interact with a virtual mechanism using haptic feedback

Ferromagnetic Domain Distribution in Thin Films During Magnetization Reversal

By W. -t. Lee, S. G. E. Te Velthuis, G. P. Felcher, F. Klose, T. Gredig and E. D. Dahlberg

We have shown that polarized neutron reflectometry can determine in a model-free way not only the mean magnetization of a ferromagnetic thin film at any point of a hysteresis cycle, but also the mean square dispersion of the magnetization vectors of its lateral domains. This technique is applied to elucidate the mechanism of the magnetization reversal of an exchange-biased Co/CoO bilayer. The reversal process above the blocking temperature Tb is governed by uniaxial domain switching, while below Tb the reversal of magnetization for the trained sample takes place with substantial domain rotation

North Admiral

North Admiral is the oldest neighborhood in West Seattle, Washington. In the early 1900s it was connected to Seattle by ferries and a cable car. These ferries included the paddle steamers City of Seattle and West Seattle. Admiral is a neighborhood that combines a beautiful residential area with ultra-hip businesses and unique culture. After early settlers wrote off Alki beach as too harsh, they moved to the more civilization-friendly top of the hill. This became the business and commercial district of the town of West Seattle, while more residential areas cropped up in the surrounding area. Admiral attempted to annex these smaller neighborhoods without success. All of the communities worked together to get bridges and roads put in so that West Seattle would be more accessible by Seattle residents. In this they did succeed, especially if you count the ferry that crossed Puget Sound in a record eight minutes. There was much argument about whether West Seattle should be annexed into Seattle Proper, and it finally happened in 1907. Still, because of its geographic separation from the rest of the city, West Seattle has a distinct culture, and Admiral remains the center of it all.

Health or education?

I’m waking up, lifeless: my thoughts are drained from my mind from over thinking. Or have my thoughts cancelled my feelings? Both maybe. Its five thirty in the morning, I have to wake up in thirty minutes, get ready, pack my schoolbag, make lunch.. oh there we go again. Im freaking out over the smallest of things and its making my anxiety murder my loneliness: the thoughts are back. My stomach, churning at the thought of school. Oh gosh school. Socialising, learning, pretending im alright, what if i get caught in a fight?

I need to get out of bed but i sit there lifeless. I don’t wanna do life today, im not good for anything. I just want to stay in bed. Time ticks by as my heartbeat is cooling from magma to lava, rising upwards. Thirty minutes have passed, no movement has been acquired. I check my social media’s checking up on my friends to see if they are doing okay (as i do everyday). I have twenty minutes until i have to leave the house, my mum’s screaming at me to get up, “EAT YOUR BREAKFAST”. I usually reply with the simple, “I don’t want to,” although today i don’t feel like i can talk, nor, as a matter of fact, breathe.

I end up walking past the mirror, who is that girl in the mirror? I’m just staring right at her. Contemplation of true beauty conflicts within my eyes. Am i pretty? Who even am I? I’ve been told many times that I am “perfect.” Im pretty sure i don’t know what perfect means. Nothing is perfect, everything has at least one flaw although, maybe, everyone has perspectives of perfect. I, for sure am not.

Leaving the house, my demons start creeping although i try to scare them away with the presence of music, working only momentarily. Distracting them with vibrations despised by thier beliefs. Lyrics working only like a varnish on my adrenaline. Im being dominant.

My pace quickens as i become more aware of my surroundings. I hastily walk to the bus stop and wait for the bus rubbing my hands together as if I were washing them with air. The first step onto the bus is as if i hit a brick wall, i walk up towards the back seats isolated in the world inside my head. I spaced out. After that the tournamenting thoughts seeped through the music. Is anyone staring? Do i look okay? My breathing gets tight and my stomach is churning again, even though i get this feeling almost 24/7 I’ve never gotten used to it.

I arrive at school. I barely talk, I’m just there. I space out on all my classes. I feel unaccomplished, stupid, unworthy. If i were to even talk i would mess up. I’m in maths, a terrified girl trying to understand something so complex with her mind screaming at her. It’s impossible to learn. Should i really be in school?

Recently, I’ve been struggling with mental health a lot. I’ve opened up to so many people that i feel too exposed. The main reason i am struggling with it so much is because of my school; I just started my GCSE’S, im honestly petrified. I’m constantly stressing over them that it’s causing me to be constantly anxious and depressed, my mental health is low. I was told that “mental health is more important than education,” although i believe it, no one else seems to understand.

My school, it’s a “machine for exams,” it adds layers and of stress; thick layers at that. They tell us they care about our mental health, they tell us that we can talk to the school councilor (believe me, i have. But, she’s just not for me), although mental health is as equally as important as physical health, everyone puts up a wall against that for some reason.

I’m really struggling at school, what is making it worse is my mental health. It’s dragging my grades down (god knows how i’m still achieving a few A’s). It makes me think that I am not capable when infact that is not true. Everyone on this Earth has great intelligence, yes some may have more than others although it all balances out. I’m a creative person therefore i excelle subjects such as art, technology and english. You might be into sports, doing many physical activities. We all have our differences.

Mental well being is different, we can all gain struggles with it during our life. It’s most likely that sometime during your life you will experience it first hand, that’s just society today. I just want you to know, you are not alone. Never isolate yourself in this darkness.

I never take sick days off school when I am feeling low – mentally. Should I? Will that help me? My parents dont really let me stay off school due to my mental health. Sure, it gets me going through my day and surrounds me with society which i barely do. Lonliness has become a key factor in my life recently and i want that to change. I’m doing more things for myself than others.

I wanna know your views on this. Do your parents let you take sick days due to low mental health?

Thanks for reading,

Love Courtz xx

  1. love this courtz!! I definitely agree with you when you say mental health is more important than education. Though education is important, u need to put you first, and I personally think there should be a few days a year that your allowed to take off if your mental health isnt doing to great.

  2. I’m so glad I found you on Zoella’s blog. This would have been a difficult post to write, but it’s wonderful. You are so strong! I went through a similar phase in year 8/9 and it was one of the darkest moments of my life. I never spoke to my parents about it and they certainly would not have let me stay off school due to my mental health so I definitely agree that mental health is more important:’)

There were more than 4,300 births in Newark City in 2011, and over 10,000 in all of Essex County. With such high birth rates, undoubtedly some children will suffer an injury during birth or some sort of birth trauma as they enter the world.

Newark is home to a number of private, public and university hospitals and and further has many healthcare centers in and around the city. Accidents, negligence and mistakes are bound to happen.

Asbestos fibers can be found in older buildings and homes, and construction workers who built or remodeled these structures prior to the 1980s likely came into contact with asbestos. Not only this, but asbestos was frequently used in shipyards like those in Newark, and there have been several cases of shipyard workers developing mesothelioma.

While no amount of monetary damages can reverse the pain and suffering of a personal injury, a personal injury lawsuit can be brought against the negligent or careless individual who caused your injuries.

Originally published on CUInsight.com

This post highlights what I’ve come to call, “The Pizza Place Incident”.  In reality, it was nowhere near as exciting as the title implies.  Or was it?  (Cue dramatic chipmunk)

Here’s how it’s going to work.  I’ll share the story first.  After each section, we will discuss the key points the restaurant missed and how you can avoid them at your credit union (yes, pizza and credit unions relate).

It was a rainy evening in south Florida.  Which, for those not from here, means, “between July and November”.  My family sought shelter and sustenance at our favorite local pizza shop.  Braving the tropical squalls in our trusty four-wheel-drive while SiriusXM played songs of sun and sand, we safely arrived, our only sufferance the delay of a few red lights.  Upon sitting at the lone remaining table, we steal a glance at the menu we know so well.  Only it’s different.  Prices crept higher.  Some choices gained a dollar or so, others more.  One in particular changed in an odd way.  Of course it happened to be my mom’s favorite meal.  Instead of just raising the price, the core items were now extras.  Like broccoli.  On a dish previously called, “Pasta With Broccoli and Garlic”.  How much?  $4.  The same, I should mention, as the cost for shrimp or chicken.  Yes, chicken, shrimp, and broccoli all carried the same up-charge.  When we asked the owner about it, their response was equally perplexing.  “Yeah, that’s the way it is.”

Did she end up getting the dish?  Yes.  With the broccoli.  But she was less happy about it.  Which brings us to our first lesson break.  Make sure to stand up and stretch.  It’s important to remain active throughout the day.

If you’re going to raise prices, you must add value, perceived or otherwise, that is worth more than the increase.  Otherwise, customers get angry and may leave negative reviews (you do reply to them all, right?) or seek out a competitor.  In this case, charging the same for broccoli as shrimp made it even more frustrating.

This wasn’t the only issue faced that night.  Another item we ordered was a large pizza.  Theirs happens to reheat especially well, making it great for future meals.  After taking far longer than it should, we asked our waitress on the status of the pie.  She begins to profusely apologize, as she served it to another table (who, oddly enough, didn’t turn it down).  They had ordered a small, and it was just coming out of the oven.  We could have it in lieu of waiting for a fresh one to be prepared.  Sure, pizza is pizza, despite fewer leftovers.  Our waitress, who raced around the restaurant the entire evening, managed to stop running long enough to explain it was her first night.  “They just don’t do things the same at this location.” (The owner has a few shops around the area).  Ah, ha!  Another lesson point to be made.  Let your slice cool for a moment while we do some learning!

When your processes are unpredictable or nonexistent, you make it challenging for anyone else to create a consistent experience.  I watched as the owner micro-managed every action of the kitchen staff, the front register, our waitress, the delivery guy, and the baker.  Worse, she gave conflicting instructions depending on when she walked by.  It was obvious no processes were in place, and, as a result, mistakes were made.

Consistency is essential.  There’s a reason every Big Mac, across the planet, comes out identically.  And, for those who eat such things, that is part of the appeal.  You know what you’re going to get.  It doesn’t matter if Jan or Steve is out that day.  Anyone can follow the process to prepare the same burger.

Despite the issues, we still had a delicious dinner.  Even the weather cooperated on the drive home.  But it was a night of lessons.

  1. Pricing: Your members want to pay less and get more.  That’s normal.  So brainstorm how you can deliver value throughout their relationship to rationalize any costs.  It could be a value-add fee checking account that helps protect members’ identities and more*, or inclusive services paid though outside relationships.  Consider what you can do to grow ROA (or return more to members and your community) without imposing NSF or other punitive fees.
  2. Processes: Too often, I’ve been interacting with a credit union (client or otherwise) and their reason for a random delay is, “Bob handles that and he’s really the only one who knows how to do it.”  Worse is, “Beth ran that, but she transferred to another credit union, and we’re not sure where she left things.”

Avoid “The Credit Union Incident” by following this guidance.  Beth’s replacement will thank you.

*Disclosure: My company offers such a service and produced a white paper to help credit unions determine if it or a similar solution might be a fit for their institution.

The Invisible Introvert

Happy Anniversary
Happy Anniversary

The Outsiders

“I’ve got it!” My adorable husband yells with enthusiasm. Mind you he does EVERYTHING with great joy and at full speed, whether it’s waking me from my coma like sleep with a morning song (what…no coffee?), or serenading me to dreamland with his trumpet version of America the Beautiful. My beloved is a human spark plug with an insatiable urge to fix any proverbial broken pieces of me. Deep sigh.

Then there was me, crumpled and frustrated, methodically listing each point of profound dissatisfaction I derived from work.  Not just any work mind you, oh no! I was a first-year high school teacher, and we all know teaching is the honorable and most noble of professions. It’s one that molds young minds, and I wanted out, FAST! My practical mind battled with my broken heart.  “Getting this far took so much planning,” I cried. Night courses to save on tuition, and many other sacrifices with the dream of one day teaching the sciences to eager young minds instead of being the one sitting behind the desk. Somehow my detailed plan had gone terribly, horribly wrong, and I was no longer in control. So there we were, Mr. Sunshine and Mrs. Raincloud, praying for answers and seeking God’s wisdom.

“Take a personality test,” he suggested, and told me there were ones that matched your personality to compatible careers. I was willing to try anything, even follow the advice of my groom, aka the ankle breaker. Mr. Charismatic had also convinced me that skiing wasn’t hard, and I was still having headaches from my concussion, but I digress.  So I took the test and the results were strangely revealing. I don’t care that I’m introverted and intuitive, but am drawn to the sum of the answers which classify my personality as the Architect.  Awed, I read on and discover that it’s one of the rarest personality types, with INTJs making up about 2% (and women just 0.8%) of the population. Hah! Deep sighs turn into calm, steady breaths.

With dancing and the trumpet, my handsome husband supports me as I adjust the plan to one that actually makes sense, a life of research as a scientist in environmental/public health. No longer living as Mrs. Miserable, or on the outside of events looking in at others, but enjoying life’s journey with the world’s greatest husband, our amazing children and the most fulfilling, satisfying career imaginable. This is truly an exceptional life!

  1. “My practical mind battled with my broken heart.” Yes! On the nose! You said it better than I ever could; that’s exactly how I feel about whether or not to leave teaching. I am so glad to know that there IS a life for you outside the classroom and that you feel satisfied and gratified. Congratulations!

    P.S. BOTH of you are adorable, not just your husband! 🙂

Toray Industries, Inc.
Toray to Revise Price of Nylon 66 Yarn and Fabrics
for Automotive Airbags
　Toray Industries, Inc., (headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Akihiro Nikkaku; hereinafter referred to as "Toray") today announced that it would revise (raise) the price of nylon 66 yarn and fabrics for automotive airbags application from the December 2018 shipment. The price will be raised by 130 yen per kg for both yarn and fabrics(on a yarn weight basis).

　Currently nylon 66 polymer, the main ingredient of yarn and fabrics for automotive airbags, is in tight supply globally due to supply deficiency of Adiponitrile, its raw material, and the price of polymer has been soaring. Given such market conditions, ingredient manufacturers are significantly raising their prices one after another.
　In the next few years, Adiponitrile is expected to be largely in short supply as the expansion of supply capacity fails to meet the demand, and the price of nylon 66 polymer is likely to continue rising over a long period of time due to the tight supply. Moreover, cost of materials such as coating materials as well as distribution cost and the environment surrounding Toray’s airbag business is increasingly becoming difficult.
　Under such circumstances, the company has been driving forward Total Cost Reduction (TC) Project and making self-efforts to thoroughly reduce costs and improve efficiency of all fixed cost and variable cost items. However, these efforts are falling short of absorbing the current rise in raw material prices and significant price increases made by ingredient manufacturers, and the company came to the decision to raise the price in order to ensure supply of products with stable quality and maintain its structure to develop and propose high value added products.

　The details of the price increase are as follows.
1.Products and price increase
Nylon 66 yarn and fabrics (on a yarn weight basis) for airbags application:
up 130 yen per kg
2．Timing of the price revision
From the December 2018 shipment

An Art-full Way to Give!

CWO friend Jay Norris shares her heart for CWO –

My husband and I have known Greg (CWO President) and Laura Yoder for nearly 15 years and we couldn’t be more supportive of the CWO ministry.  We attended the same church for several years and two of our sons went to Haiti with CWO along with some of our friends.  We love how CWO not only meet the physical needs of men, women and children around the world, but how they make it a priority to share the gospel of Jesus Christ as it is presented from the Bible. We also appreciate the Feminine Training Center that teaches women skills that can help them support their families. One way we have chosen to help out with CWO is to donate a percentage of some of the acrylic paintings that I have for sale.  I specialize in paintings of Colorado and Castle Rock, but also paint other beautiful places as well.

One of my greatest joys in life has been learning how to paint with acrylics. I began painting 14 years ago, and after hanging paintings on my walls and giving some to friends and family, I realized I could also use my art skills to help raise funds for missionary friends and organizations. Each year I donate a few paintings to fundraisers.  Recently my husband suggested that when I participate in art festivals I could designate a painting to a specific ministry and if it sells donate the money earned to that organization. Presently I have several paintings for sale at the Miyo Café in Happy Canyon Shopping Center in Castle Rock.  I chose a few paintings to donate to some mission organizations if sold.  We put the names of all my paintings in a hat and did the same with some mission groups and matched them up.

It’s an honor to support CWO in this way!

That is the kind of life that God is interested in offering us. But we have choices to make; the appeal of true poverty, a life spent in self-interest and solitude, is surprisingly strong.

Choose now the richness of life God offers.

next >

You who live in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty, will say to the Lord, "My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust." For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence; he will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night, or the arrow that flies by day, or the pestilence that stalks in darkness, or the destruction that wastes at noonday.

Psalm 91:1-6

next >

Self-reliance is a difficult thing to let go. From a young age we are taught and often exclaim that we can do things all by ourselves. But there are times when we need to cling to someone else, to put our trust in one who does not fail. God loves us and offers a refuge like that of a bird that covers its young with its wings.

When we begin to put our trust in God and practice giving that trust daily, it becomes second nature. We can rest assured that God really is our refuge and our fortress – in hard times and in good. It’s a choice we make – to be willing to give our trust to God.

Where do you put your trust? In the things that you can gain on earth? Or in the God who created the earth?

Susan Reed

next >

Holy God, thank you for being a fortress and refuge – in times of need as well as in times of joy. Help me to trust you more, to seek after you instead of seeking after my own desires. Amen.

next >

May God fill your soul with waters of generosity,
Taking you to the gate of thirsty neighbors,
That you might come to know them and,
Knowing them,
Share from the richness of
God's love.

How to Make Money With Fiverr

Fiverr is one of the most innovative online creations that offers an infinite amount of opportunities to earn money on the Internet.

From wacky tasks to conventional online gigs like content writing, there are a lot of different ways one can earn some hard-earned cash from this online marketplace.

For online sellers and freelancers, Fiverr is a very profitable site, with tons of website traffic coming on a daily basis.

In addition, this marketplace has well over 2 million tasks listed and 4,000 brand-new services, across more than a  hundred categories.

So How Do I Make Money With Fiverr?

To earn money with Fiverr, first you need to understand what this website is all about as it will help you decide if it’s right for you and to learn about the earning potential of this online money-making source.

Fiverr, in a nutshell, is an online global marketplace that offers services and tasks (referred to as gigs), at a small cost of $5 per performed job.

For the most part, it is used by freelancers to offer an array of services, and by clients to buy such services.

This site lists over 3 million different services that range between $5 and $500 hundred dollars, though anything priced over $5 is called a gig extra, and all base gigs are $5.  A quick search on Fiverr will tell you that there are a lot of sellers who sell services for a lot more than $5

For example, if selling article writing services your gig would be: “I Will Write A 500 Word Article for $5”. Then a gig extra might be, “Write 1000 word article” +$10 and another gig extra might be: “Write 1500 Word Article +$20 etc.

Many sellers also offer gig extras that expedite speed of delivery for express service as opposed to their normal delivery time.

Price Per Task

As a freelancer, this online marketplace offers you a simple and extremely viable way to earn money online because they have a lot of traffic and thousands upon thousands of members.

This, in turn, will give you a good source of income, or supplement your other one. While $5 is a relatively small amount of money for many freelancers, there have been a lot of freelancers that have earned a fortune from this online marketplace that sell many gigs per month along with the upsells on the gig extras.

For each gig, Fiverr gets a 20% cut, which means you will only have a net payout of $4.

On the bright side, you can earn much more than $4 dollars per gig, as you develop a good reputation and get more clients to buy your services.

As your sales increase and you get positive feedback from buyers, your rating as a seller increases, which, consequently increases your rankings within Fiverr for even more exposure that leads to more sales.

After you have completed at least ten Fiverr transactions, you will be able to unlock several advanced tools that offer add-on services as well as increase the value of your gigs.

What Gigs Can Be Offered?

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist in order to earn money from this online marketplace.

As a matter of fact, some Fiverr sellers have earned a lot of money from doing completely crazy and totally unique gigs like impersonating celebrities, daredevil stunts and crazy dancing.

But, it is the legitimate and conventional gigs that are selling like hot cakes.

The most popular and best-selling gigs in this site are SEO (Search engine) services, article writing, business consultation services, video editing and logo designing.

Tips For The Ultimate Fiverr Success

There are actually some very good training videos on the Fiverr site itself, so if you are interested I recommend you head over there and have a look.

Here are a few tips for Fiverr success though, which should help you make the decision if you wish to “take the plunge”

  • Use catchy key phrases and words for the gigs offered in your profile description page.
  • Showcase your awesome work by uploading the pictures of the gigs you have delivered.
  • Deliver fast responses to customer inquiries.
  • Always deliver the project or gig in a timely manner. Keep in mind that buyers are always eager to get their hands on the end product.
  • Deliver what you promised on the sales page.
  • Make sure the sales page clearly defines what is offered, and anticipate all the questions buyers might have and make sure to include appropriate answers as well.
  • There are international sellers on Fiverr, but, it is an English site, and sale success can be damaged when sales pages are written in horrible English that no one can understand. If you are not fluent in the English language then outsource your sales copy to an appropriate seller on Fiverr.
  • Quality work is essential to maintain the required number of positive reviews to keep your business growing. Even one negative rating can quickly cause sales to dry up, and so attention to detail and quality is essential for success on Fiverr.

Good luck if Fiverr is the home business route you decide to take..

Forrest Gets Relative Mail…

Dear Forrest,
I am writing you tonight wanting to thank you. I have just recently discovered your story about the hidden treasure and it brings me a sense of adventure and motivation. I love everything about it. The best thing though is its bringing together a once torn apart relationship with me and my mother back together again . So thank you for that .

We recently had a birthday celebration for my nephew and she attended for the first time in a long time . We hadn’t talked very much over the years due to decisions and choices she choose to take when I was in my youth. Grudges and bad feeling and really just being stubborn I never made any attempt to reach out and make our relationship better. So sitting around the party I brought up your story and I promise for the next four hours we talked about what it would be like taking a trip and searching and the things we would see along the way and how much our lives would be so different if we were to ever find the treasure.

In those brief hours talking about it for a moment I had forgotten all the bad things she had done the bad things I had said and it was just us again mom and son no worries in the world . We talked about it throughout the night and even into the next morning when she called me . I feel your story has gave us a starting over point in life with our relationship and I just want to thank you for that Mr. Fenn.
Even if we never get to take a chance to search for your treasure you have helped me find mine again so thank you again.
Stay young my friend,   Jack

Is Your E-Commerce Business Built for Success?

Is your e-commerce business built for success

Shopping online can be an affirming experience for many people, especially when shopping at a web store that has intuitive user design, easily searchable products and services, aesthetically pleasing content, accessible and varied customer service tools and options, and much more.

Customers should always leave your store with a smile and a feeling of satisfaction. An irate, dissatisfied customer could cause a viral social media storm if you are not careful about how you operate your business, and how your customers use and respond to your website. If you are a large company, customer grievances may not have a huge impact, but the same cannot be said for smaller, less established businesses. If this is you, take heed of the tips and tricks offered in this article to help you set up your online business for success. You do not want to be that company about whom customers write derisive songs.

When working towards setting up your web store for success, ask yourself some important questions:

  • What kind of business am I operating? You should know what you are selling so that you can hone in on your target market. If you are all over the map, you will have a harder time appealing to any one demographic of potential customers.
  • What do I offer that my competition does not? Having a competitive edge will help you carve out a niche for yourself and help you satisfy the specific needs of your customer base. If you offer nothing different than any of your competition, ask yourself why anyone would bother shopping with you. Take a look at your business, find something that really makes you proud, and use it to your advantage.
  • Is your website optimised for positive customer experiences? If you are not sure, you can send out a survey to existing customers, or prompt a customer to complete a quick survey at the end of the transaction to get their feedback. There is no one better than your customers to tell if your website is effective at helping them do what they need to do.

If after asking yourself these questions you find that your business is lacking, do not fret. Your business is completely salvageable. All you have to do is make some simple adjustments to your website so that your customers have the best experience possible. Here are some important tips you can put into action immediately:

  • Good site-mapping. People come to your website to find information. If that information is hard to locate, your conversion rates will plummet, and your business will suffer. A good site map lays out the entire structure of your website for the customer so that navigating is easier. Keep in mind that the more complicated your website’s structure, and the more pages you have, the harder your customer will have to work to find what they are looking for.
  • Well-priced products/services. Competitive pricing is key. Customers can tell if you are being greedy if your products and services are more expensive than anywhere else. You might think you are trying to make an easy dollar, euro or krona, but you are just driving customers towards other businesses with better prices. If you are not willing to lower your prices on a general level, think about price-matching (if a customer finds the same product for a lower price, you offer them the product at that price to retain the sale and enhance customer confidence) and promotions in the very least.
  • Attractive product photos. These can go a long way. Not only do they add to the aesthetic value of your website, but they also show the customer what they are thinking of buying from you. It is also fun to feature customer photos. It adds a more human touch, and can show the various ways that customers use the same product. You may even want to consider having a customer photo contest on a social media outlet to create publicity, engagement and excitement.
  • Customer service and support. Your web store should always feature various modes of customer service and support through a questions & answers section or knowledgebase, instant messaging, email, phone, skype, video tutorials, and more. Having a social media presence for these purposes is also good practice, and provides customers with yet another outlet for queries, feedback, and even grievances (which you can publicly and proactively solve).
  • Optimised usability. Think about responsive web design which allows customers to access your site through different devices and platforms. Consider adding an easy-to-find search bar on every page, quick page loading (laying off the Flash can help with this), a quick checkout process with only a few steps, and more.

Selling online can be a great experience for you and your customers. Tony Hsieh of Zappos, the tremendously successful online shoe business, has often quoted that “a great brand is a story that never stops unfolding”. The same can be said for your web store. It is a big part of your brand, and should always be evolving into something better and easier to use.

Hawaii Unemployment Office Warning Employers of E-mail Scam

The Hawaii Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DLIR) is warning employers of an e-mail scam in which employers in various states, including Hawaii, are receiving e-mails that claim to be from the Massachusetts or New York “Division of Unemployment Assistance (DUA).” The emails declare that former employee(s) have filed unemployment claims and request the employer to open an attachment and/or access a weblink for purposes of providing confidential employment information.

Sample of the email

This is an identify theft scam. Do not open the attachment or otherwise respond to it. The Hawaii Unemployment Insurance Division does not request information on behalf of other states, nor does it request confidential employment information in this manner.
