Nowadays, businesses can go to social media such as Twitter because it is one of the best marketing tools which any owner can use to reduce cost and time in getting their business up and running. “Twitter is a social networking service; it has gained popularity because it is relatively simple to use.” It is about discovering interesting people around the world who might be interested in what the company is selling. It also builds followers who are interested in a company’s services, and then providing people with some kind of knowledge, based about the company’s news every day. People advertise recruiting services, consulting businesses, and retail stores by using Twitter.

...Social Site Trends Employers can use information on social sites to learn about prospective employees. Reading profiles and perusing photos has become standard for human resources departments in some companies. One's job search could be affected accordingly .The cellphone potential for socializing remains huge, and mobile features allow social networking site users to continue their experience when away from the desktop. Uploading photos, sending videos and sharing tiny samples of voice are being perfected for friends in these online networks. Socially-established sites are becoming content-conscious. Key players believe that in the future, all content portals will have characteristics of social networking sites. Moreover, beyond the sense of belonging that might be sought, people will visit these sites to be entertained or to find useful information. External public social networking services, such as Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, and Friendster, can be valuable sales, marketing, and support tools. These services comprise extensive networks of users who are self-organized into groups and communities. Users establish connections directly with other users to form a personal friends network. Users also join groups and communities that are organized around attributes such as products, lifestyles, entertainment, institutions, politics and geographic locations. The key difference between social networks and more traditional online communities is the friend-of-a-friend (FOAF)...

...properly then the relationship is going to suffer. If we are not meeting them where they are the relationship is not likely to thrive and be the best it can be. I related this to relationships that we may have with students that we work with. If we are not properly communicating with them and meeting them where they are, then our relationship with our students is going to suffer. In the past decade we have seen the birth of facebook, twitter, YouTube, instagram, pinterest, iphonegram, tumblr and we know that all students are at least using some form of social media regardless of their age. I think that email is still a great way to communicate to our students and our student have to be held accountable for checking nteir email and reading information that is sent to them. I also believe that it’s important to not only communicate that way. I believe that it’s important to target the student population that we work with, find out what avenue of social media that are using the most and always learn to communicate with our...

...WHAT IS READING At a very tender age, when I first learned to read words, I was excited because I was now a reader but was I really reading or just lifting words off paper? Even though this is necessary for reading, reading is more complex than just recognizing words. The reader has to make sense of the words base and their context. While engaged in reading, the prior knowledge is activated along with personal connection, ideas, and opinions. Unfortunately, children will develop reading problems if they do get the necessary stills that will allow them to function on a higher level and succeed in life. Jennings, Caldwell and Lerner (2010) mentioned that it is said that “Children must learn to read so that later they can read to learn” (pg. 4). Therefore reading is the foundation that children need to be successful in life. Jennings, Caldwell and Lerner (2010) advised that to help children read better and develop a love for reading, fall on the laps of the teaching professionals since they are the planner and implementation of instructional services (pg. 3). It is understandable that even though there are different levels of readers, the ultimate goal is for teachers to create good readers in children. Jennings, Caldwell and Lerner (2010) iterate that reading is making sense of text. The reader generates his or her own mental version of what is been read (pg. 13). In my field experience, I have seen children who could read any word off paper but had no opinion of what is going...

...plates welded together around the periphery, and filled with de-aired oil. The cell is directly connected to a pressure gauge. The load applied to the cell induces an oil pressure variation, which is sensed by the gauge. The compact size of the HYDLO eases installation and allows for quick and simple readings. Two configurations of HYDLO are available. To monitor a tensile load, a hollow centre cell enables the passage of an anchor through the cell. To monitor a compressive load, a solid centre cell is used. With both of these configurations, remote pressure reading is available by connecting the cell with flexible tubing to a remote vibrating wire, electrical 420 mA, or hydraulic pressure • Remote reading avail• Not affected by eccentric loading APPLICATIONS The HYDLO Hydraulic Load Cell is designed for direct measurement of loads in tiebacks, foundation anchors, rockbolts, struts or tunnel supports.

...Practical Book Review of Petersen Christina Suarez HSCO 508/ Liberty University August 2, 2015 Practical Book Review of Petersen Summarize! Why Don’t We Listen Better? Communicating & Connecting in Relationships by James C. Peterson is considered self-help book, which explains the way listening may enhance the way we think and respond to different situations in our daily life through communication. Why Don’t We Listen Better? Communicating and Connecting in Relationships has offered immense insight in the manner to promote relationships and the way to link to others. There are five sections to Petersons’ book that include options in communicating, talker-listener process, listening techniques, using TLC in groups, and the concluding philosophy. One of my favorite sections of the text is second part is the Talker-Listeners Card , which teaches us the way to take turns in that we must listen first and respond second. The third part of the book talks about retaining the methods that you learned about, as well as then finding what works best better. The fourth and fifth part suggests that one should become that individual whose presence is needed in a given conservation. Petersen learned through personal observation that most people think they listen, but don’t really hear each other. The test suggests that communication starts with the brain, heart, and stomach. Petersen (2007). argues that stomach functions comprise of our emotions...
