Total weight: a gargantuan 194.7 pounds of paper. I can't think of any less useful way to utilize home-office space, especially when most of the contents, once filed, will never be touched again. My goal wasn't necessarily to dump every scrap of paper, but at least I wanted to get it all down to a single file-cabinet drawer. Here's how I did it, and how...

...Strayer university | Trends in the Workplace | HRM 500 | Professor Karen Golaub | Stacey Jean | 4/22/2014 | | Human resource functions that are likely to be affected from this new technology are: Trends in the workplace and manpower planning: It would be now completely different to analyze the number of employees needed and that to be of a particular skill since the requirement of the skills will also change. This is normally done by analyzing the projected growth of the company but now since it would be difficult to project the growth rate owing to new technology; this function is going to be affected at large and hence there is a need to review it properly, determining wages and salaries: More qualified and skilled employees will need higher salaries and more benefits. As a human resource manager, I would plan training and development: New technology means the need for new training and development program. This function of HR would become most crucial aspect in the future growth of the company. There are many ways by which the changes can be implemented properly. First of all, there is a need to analyze completely the right number of employees needed with a specific skill set. Secondly, hiring right employees with the necessary skill set would be very important. Rather than just planning for training for the employees, it would be important...

...There Should be Limits to Abortion I do not believe there should be limitations on abortions. In my personally beliefs the government should not tell a woman what she can and can not do with their bodies. If a female decides to have a baby the choice whether to keep it or not should be up to her and her alone. Who is the government to tell a female she can not have an abortion, or put restrictions on having abortions? What is next are they going to limit the amount of children a female can have like they do in China? Why stop at females what kind of laws they going to be put against men. With the Patriotic law and our government spying on us is that not enough why tell females about abortions. Did the Women’s movement of the 1970s mean nothing at all if men still are going to tell females what to do? I wonder what is next are they going to turn over the 19th Amendment that allows women to vote. The government has entirely to much power over our lives. The Supreme Court decision in Roe V. Wade made it possible for a woman to have an abortion. Prior to the decision many women were dying performing illegal abortions all because they could not have a legal one. Studies show that prior to Roe V. Wade they were many unwanted pregnancies in America. According to The New York Daily News article entitled “Do People agree with Abortion” a staggering 89% of people agree that the government should not put limits on abortions. Another poll shows that 1% of all abortions occur because of...

...what we are going to do, he has no right to compensate the righteous and punish the wicked. Discuss The thought that God bestowed upon humans free will is one that is fundamental to the Christian faith. This is emphasized in the book of Genesis. If we were to believe this idea subsequently, we would believe that we are morally accountable for our deeds. The notion of omnipotence rationally requires God knowing what people will do before they do it. This is problematic with the notion of free will, as this may appear that we do not totally have liberty. It could be claimed that God has no right to recompense and punish if he can see what will happen. In the Bible there are many episodes which demonstrate God gratifying and reprimanding The God of classical theism...

...I know the concept of free will and be able to describe it precisely. I know I have free will and it determines by my choices. Free will is the ability to choose between different actions and to make decisions based on choices. All of us have free will in the world, no matter the constraints we have in our life. It’s important to believe this and not to be based on a computer, because it may predict the wrong ideas for the future. We all have freedom and we have the will to decide in America. A computer is unable to tell us what we think and our decisions are going to occur before it happens....

...Free radicals are chemical species that contain a singly occupied orbital. They are neutral and tend to be highly reactive and is a species with an odd number of electrons. When a bond is broken both electrons of that bond remained with one of the atoms but for the formation of radicals, one electron of the bond remains with each of the atoms called hemolytic bond cleavage. Our body generates free radicals reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species by various endogenous systems, exposure to different physiochemical conditions or pathological states. A balance between free radicals and antioxidants is necessary for proper physiological function. Free radicals thus adversely alter lipids, proteins, and DNA and trigger a number of human diseases. Formed in the body during oxidation, a normal by-product of metabolism,...

...basketball net excites every determined, focused, and aspiring basketball player. Some may think of making a free throw is as easy as saying the alphabet, but in reality, the art of shooting a free throw comes down to centimeters or maybe even millimeters. If you shot the free throw a couple of centimeters left, the basketball may “toilet roll” around the hoop and eventually not go down the net. It would be hard to change high schoolers and above, but if you start perfecting the mechanics at a young age you can do it. Young kids, it is time to start now and start the process. The art of shooting a free throw comes down to the minute details. Ben Franklin, the author of Poor Richard’s Almanac, wrote: “ A small leak...

...The Paper-Free Process Revolution Handbook Automating your manual (and paper-centric) processes will revolutionize your business—making it faster, flexible, and more responsive Edited and written by Betsy Fanning and Bryant Duhon Introduction Let’s get this straight from the beginning; using less paper isn’t just about “going green” or saving the rain forest. Using less paper in your business processes will revolutionize your business—making it faster, flexible, and more responsive to the needs of your customers. At least since the Sumerians wrote down transactions on baked clay tablets, documents have been the foundation of business. And while we no longer need to lug around those heavy clay documents (and watch out for water); if you’re using paper to manage your business then you aren’t any more efficient—or faster—than a civilization that existed 4,000 years ago. It doesn’t have to be this way. The technology is available. More importantly, the technology works. We have been scanning documents and moving them around business electronically for over 25 years; and that’s a good start. But, to match the pace of business today; content must be mobilized and harnessed for business use as soon as possible. Advances in scanning speeds, declining prices, and imaging and recognition software have combined to dramatically improve the concept of the digital mailroom—converting those inbound paper documents to digital format to directly feed business process; accounts payable...

...Are we really free? Free will - the idea that we, as intelligent beings, is able to choose a certain course of action, and not another, is one of the most important concepts of humanity, from its creation, to the Bible to this day. This allows us to take responsibility for our own actions and to hold others accountable for their own responsibilities. It makes us build ourselves - and sometimes down. Obviously, free will can only be applied in accordance with the laws of physics and chemistry that govern everything that exists, or, if you believe in God, it must correspond to the parameters that God has laid out. Given this, how much of these limitations really play in our ideal of Enlightenment free will? To begin to formulate the answer, we must first determine free will. There are many different degrees of free will, the most "free" being, that people, and sometimes even more intelligent animals, have complete free knowledge within the laws of physics and the least free ones that we only exist, because God or some the supernatural being allows us to. The latter is quickly debunked - if the almighty being "lets" you free will, you obviously are not really free; free will is now seen as a privilege that can be abolished, not an innate ability or an inalienable right. And...
