2490 | Narrative | CORPORATE training videos, presentations, sales videos, compliance, tradeshow videos,... | The biggest problem in retail is hiring, particularly hiring hourly workers. Some of the most important people you have working for you are the hourly workers that are dealing with the public on a day-by-day basis., at least according to unicrew, an Oregon-based company, which was founded in 1997 to service the needs of hourly employees. The people on the phones, the people at the cashier’s desk, the stock clerks, usually anyone in a store and those answering calls in an insurance company, are almost always hourly workers. They’re the people that deal with the public. Unicrew believes that hourly employees deserve the same job-hunting opportunities as their salaried counterparts. Traditionally, job seekers looking for a salaried position have many options, including placement firms and internet job searches. Unicrew’s mission to empower the hourly work force begins with making it easier to apply for the jobs they want. There’s a huge population out there that’s been getting hired the old-fashioned way, with paper and pencil based applications, and Unicrew wants to change all that and automate the entire process. Unicrew’s found a key to their success in the kiosks - or job centers - that can be found in a number of nationwide stores, including target and blockbuster video. | 1293 | ||||||||||||||||||

When weeds do rear their ugly little sprouts, follow the regimen below - the sooner the better. Like unwanted guests, if you allow them to settle in, it's hard to make them leave! Number 1: PULL. Don't just yank off the tops; dig up that root system too. Don't throw weeds on the ground; some varieties easily resprout. Number 2: MOW. Sometimes simply cutting the weeds to the ground will stunt their growth. It's a good place to start when the patch is large. Follow up with pulling, hoeing, or weed-control treatments. Number 3: HOE. This tried-and-true method chops up those stalks and roots. The more elbow grease, the better. Poison ivy and other menacing plants should never be pulled, chopped, burned, or mowed because then their irritating substances can spread through the air and on clothes. To remove hazardous plants, rely on a defoliating spray or a professional service. There are organic products specially developed to defoliate poison ivy or eliminate moss growth. See our resources section in the manual that accompanied this program for a listing of suppliers. | 1106 | ||||||||||||||||||

You can generate them with anything handmade, and recycling something in an unusual and useful way definitely provides your daily requirement. So cut up your old, torn, battered, stained t-shirts. We know you'll enjoy weaving yourself a soft and sweet, warm and fuzzy rag rug. It's a fun snowy afternoon project - deceptively easy and even a little addictive. Once you've made your loom, you'll find that one rug is never enough. First, cut the body of 7 or 8 medium and large t-shirts horizontally into 3-inch wide strips. Don't cut the side seams, as these strips are the loops you weave with. Next, stretch the t-shirt loops the long way across the frame to create the warp. Note how the stretched loops become two strings across the frame. Hook those loops on the nail posts. To create the Weft, we begin working on the shorter axis. Weave the end of a loop under one string, then over the next string, then under again all the way across the warp strings. | 1076 | ||||||||||||||||||

The chemicals we make are used in turn by other companies to make the products we come in contact with every day. Hello, I'm (insert name), and for the next few minutes, we're going to take a look at just some of the many ways Hoechst Celanese Chemical Group's products are used to make the things that touch our lives. We all know that matter is made up of tiny particles called molecules. Every drop contains about a quadrillion billion molecules. In turn, molecules are made up of atoms. Water molecules for instance contain two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. All molecules have a characteristic shape. For instance, H2O molecules are triangular. What then is a chemical reaction? It is a rearrangement of molecules. When chemicals react, molecules break apart and rearrange, sometimes combining with bits and pieces of other molecules to become new substances. That's what happens to most of the molecules we produce: they're split apart, broken into pieces, and converted into new molecules. | 1046 | ||||||||||||||||||

The realized loss on the Collins & Aikman investments was approximately $150 million, the largest loss ever incurred by the Fund in its 17-year history. TAVF management simply misanalyzed the situation. The company’s free fall into Chapter 11 and the loss of support from its three principal customers – General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler – was at a materially faster rate than Fund management thought would be the case. Also, Collins & Aikman’s exit from bankruptcy was not fast enough to avoid the feeding frenzy perpetrated by the professionals, i.e., lawyers and investment bankers. With hindsight, this seems to have been pretty stupid on our part. Fund management should have known better – especially given the fact that (i) the Fund has been relatively close to Toyota Industries for 10 years and owns approximately $675 million of the Company’s Common; and (ii) it is not like we lack experience in restructuring proceedings. | 994 | ||||||||||||||||||

While each type of orchid has its own care requirements, the following five factors affect all blooms: Light: The plant’s tender leaves can be burned by too much direct sunlight, Yet, insufficient light stunts the growth of certain varieties. Temperature: Orchids that require cooler temperatures can often be well-placed in a low spot near the floor; plants needing warmer environment might do better up on shelves. In general avoid putting orchids in drafty shelves. Humdity: Orchids love moisture and thrive with frequent misting. Fertilizer: While healthy orchids require plenty of nutrients, too much plant food can cause blackened leaf-tips. Water: It’s usually best to water in the morning so moisture has time to evaporate from the plant throughout the day. | 809 | ||||||||||||||||||

Wouldn’t it be great to call upon an all-powerful energy to fight ‘Ol Man Bogey? Truth is, you can, by harnessing the forces of simple physics. In order to move any object, force must be applied. If you paid attention in high-school physics, you would be aware of this…and you would recall Newton’s second law of motion. Newton tells us that force is a combination of mass and acceleration. So, the way to hit a golf ball farther is to apply greater force. By swinging the mass of the clubhead with maximum acceleration, which is in itself a function of speed, you’ll increase the length of your drives.

2503 | Narrative | E-LEARNING educational videos, online tutorials, ESL (English as a Second Language),... | Composites are a pre-designed combination of fibrous reinforcements held together by a polymer matrix. Reinforcements can be aramid, carbon, or glass fibers, and the matrix either a thermoset or a thermoplastic resin. Product forms include unidirectional tape, woven fabrics, or continuous filaments which can be layered or wrapped in various orientations. When heat treated and pressure consolidated, they form laminates or structures that are stronger than steel and lighter than aluminum. Chief among the advantages of polymer matrix composites is their light weight coupled with high stiffness and strength along the direction of the reinforcement. This combination is basis of their usefulness in a wide variety of structural applications. | 744 | ||||||||||||||||||

Electricity is a natural phenomenon that comes about because of the negatively and positively charged particles of matter. These particles are tiny parts of atoms, called protons and electrons. When a substance is in its normal state, the charges on these particles are more or less in balance. The natural arrangement of protons and electrons in a substance is a disorganized one.

In the first year or so after a spinoff occurs, the infant companies generally do not pay dividends, so many institutional investors pass them by.

This theorem allows one to use the assumption of a normal distribution when dealing with x-bar. “Sufficiently large” depends on the population’s distribution and what range of x-bar is being considered; for practical purposes, the easiest approach may be to take a number of samples of a desired size and see if their means are normally distributed. If not, the sample size should be increased. | 640 | ||||||||||||||||||

Well, though it’s often said that nothing in life comes easy, snow-boarding can, at least once you get past the initial frustration. Without further ado, here are some hard-won tips to help minimize day-one bruises. Forget what you’ve heard about the sport being a breeze for anyone who already skis, surfs, skateboards, or seamlessly slaloms through a plague of Gap-crazed mall rats. | 567 | ||||||||||||||||||

That’s because processes have been developed that make plastic beverage bottles and food containers recyclable into new ones. Until recently, plastic containers have only been recycled into such things as carpet and fiberfill for pillows and ski jackets. But now, a bottle can come back as a bottle, over and over again. And that’s great news for the environment. In 1990, 225 million pounds of plastic were recycled. But much more needs to be done. And more people need to know that... | 559 | ||||||||||||||||||

Calculus can be applied to any problems involving extreme amounts, such as the most, the fastest, the least, or the slowest, which may be described as values for which a certain rate of change is zero. | 553 | ||||||||||||||||||

They may have the money today but as the typical American starts to live well into their 80s they may not have that money down the road. This is particularly important now since there is a lot of uncertainty in the market. Luckily, there are some easy steps you can take, like getting a handle on what financial pros call your investment horizon, to help you insulate yourself from this problem. | 552 | ||||||||||||||||||
2589 | Narrative | E-LEARNING educational videos, online tutorials, ESL (English as a Second Language),... | An oscillator is a circuit that is capable of a sustained AC output signal obtained by converting input energy. Oscillators can also generate square waves, ramps or pulses for switching, signaling, and control. Simple oscillators produce sinewaves, but another form, the multivibrator, produces square or sawtooth waves. These circuits were developed with vacuum-tubes, but have since been converted to transistor oscillators. Figure 1 is a simple block diagram showing an amplifier and a block representing the many oscillator phase-shift methods. | 548 | ||||||||||||||||||
2590 | Narrative | CORPORATE training videos, presentations, sales videos, compliance, tradeshow videos,... | The cost pressures on Baxter’s U.S. hospital customers translate directly to the company as the country’s largest distributor of medical products. Baxter’s U.S. medical-products sales make up about half of the company’s total sales volume. But the changing environment also offers opportunities, in part because Baxter has invested heavily in the last three years in programs to help hospitals reduce their costs. Cumulatively, these programs saved U.S. hospitals more than $200 million last year. Baxter has more products than any other supplier. | 547 | ||||||||||||||||||
2591 | Narrative | E-LEARNING educational videos, online tutorials, ESL (English as a Second Language),... | Commonly summarized as “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny” (on-TA-jeh-nee re-cah-PIT-you-lates fill-AH-jeh-nee), biogenetic law posits that the embryonic stages in the development of an individual (its ontogeny) repeat the evolutionary history of its ancestors (its phylogeny). A corollary of the biogenetic law is the idea that new evolutionary features are typically added at the end of development, with formerly adult, or “terminal” stages gradually being compressed into progressively earlier stages (or sometimes being eliminated outright). | 545 | ||||||||||||||||||
2592 | Narrative | CORPORATE training videos, presentations, sales videos, compliance, tradeshow videos,... | The aesthetic dimension of human experience involves all our perceptions. Elements of shape, line, color, and texture inform our quest for beauty. They also influence our choice of a personal environment, and this is why the place we call home becomes an extension of ourselves. Naturally, we demand the best ... in form ... in structure ... in design, and will accept no less. Homes created by William L. Berry adhere to the same standards of aesthetic excellence. They radiate quality ... because they are “Masterpieces of the Builder’s Art.” | 544 |
