...Week 7 Case Study – Going Global You are the HR manager of a firm that is about to send its first employees overseas to staff a new subsidiary. Your boss, the president, asks you why such assignments often fail, and what you plan to do to avoid such failures. How do you respond? After careful research I would present the president with six challenges of using expats: 1. Problems with selection and recruitment of appropriate candidates on overseas assignments 2. The problems of an expatriate and/or a spouse with adjustment to the host country, and/or family problems 3. Expatriates’ lack of knowledge of the host countries social cultural environment as well as cross-cultural misunderstandings. 4. An expatriate’s lack of command of the local language 5. Limited foreign language proficiency among the local mangers 6. High costs of expatriates’ pay package Next I would outline the steps we are taking to overcome the challenges: Our first step is to do an analysis of critical job competencies then select potential candidates from the results. Step two is to perform psychological tests on the candidates and their family members. Step three is determine who is the best candidate for the position by factoring in all of the above. Step four is to verse the whole family in the culture the host country. Step five is to provide the family with basic language skills and the employee with targeted language skills. Step six is to hire a translator in the host country...

...The Tennis Serve By: Brayden Bennell Harloff 7/8 5/18/2015 What do you need to do to make sure you have a successful tennis serve? Sure practice will help, but truly the secret lies in different muscles in your arms, abs, and most importantly legs. Legs? Why Legs? In this presentation I will show you why and how you can maximize your ability in your serve. To begin with a successful serve, look for a racquet that has a grip that fits the size of your hand, this will maximize grip as well as momentum through the swing of your stroke. The serve is a full body motion, not just an upper body move, if one thing is off the whole serve will be different than expected. I suggest the Babolat Aero Drive tennis racquet for powerful serves, as being one of the heavier performance racquets on the market it will provide more power and control to your shots. You will be amazed with what 10.9 ounces can do for your game. To start I would lift small weights of 5-10 pounds daily in the swing of the serve, this will help strengthen all the muscles you actually use when you serve the ball. Believe it or not, the main muscles in your arm don’t take a part in what makes a powerful serve, it’s the muscles that are hidden and are significantly smaller than the bicep, and tricep. But enough about that, now that you know some tips lets move on to the knowledge and mental aspect of the serve. Your mental game in tennis is more important than anything else, if you don’t believe and get down on yourself...

...laughter at an instant. Regardless of background, pedigree or age I believe we all have gifts from God. These gifts were given to us to use for the exhortation of God and the building of his kingdom. Unfortunately we still have a major problem with getting people to lend their gifts to the house of God. Many people just don’t have an interest, or feel compelled to serve. They often times come to church year after year and do nothing. They have no interest what-so-ever to serve or assist in any capacity or manner within the ministry. No matter how many times we announce the need for ushers, greeters, children’s church teachers, camp counselors or choir members they have no desire to serve, even though they thoroughly enjoy the benefits of those ministries themselves. Someone once said people come to church with a SERVE-US mentality instead of a SERVICE mentality. This statement is truly echoed and brought to life when people are selecting churches in this modern day climate. People are no longer concerned about the mission of the church, the goals or the church or the history of the church they are only concerned about what that particular church can do for them personally. Rarely do you see people who wonder what they can do for the church. This paper will discuss how people can be encouraged to dedicate their gifting to God and use it in the local church. We will discuss “understanding you are gifted”, “compelling to serve”, and “serving with an...

...Loading... Tuesday, July 27, 2010 Kerala Spicy Mixture (Serves 10-15) MIXTURE is a salty, spicy snack for all occasions and was an essential component of the “tea parties” that often accompany the marriages in Kerala, until recently.Though trendier foods have replaced this salty, crunchy snack in more affluent parties, an average Keralite is still in love with this awesome snack. It goes very well with almost any kind of traditional food and serves as a filling tea-time snack. Also, its longer shelf life makes it an ideal face-saver in front of unexpected guests. Roasted rice flour 1 cup Gram flour/Besan 1 cup Red chilly powder 1 tsp + 2 tsp Asafetida ¼ tsp Peanuts 1 cup Chana dal ½ cup Dry red chilly 3-4 nos Curry leaves 3 sprigs Oil 2 TBSP + more for frying Salt as needed Water Preparation In a mixing bowl, add the rice flour, gram flour/besan, salt and 1 tsp red chilly powder. Mix well and drizzle 1 TBSP oil. Combine well and knead this into smooth dough by adding water little by little. It may stick to your hands at first but the oil will help to get smooth dough as you progress with kneading. Set aside. Heat oil for frying in a deep pan. When hot (check by adding a piece of the dough, if it comes to the surface promptly, oil is hot enough), using an idiyappam press (picture shown above), with the small hole mould plate, sieve the dough to hot oil in circular motion, like how you do it for idiyappam. Fry until, it gets a golden color and...

...method I chose to write about is the Romans road (Wheeler, 2000). The Romans road is a simple way of walking a person down a road to salvation. According to Wheeler (2000), this method uses verses in Romans to show a lost person why they need a savior. Romans 3:23 (New International Version) tells them that they are not alone in their sin; we have all sinned. Romans 6:23 tells us that the penalty for sin is death but God has given us a gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. Then in Romans 5:8 we are told how much God loves us despite our sinful nature. We then use Romans 10:9, 13 to tell the unbeliever how s/he can become a child of Christ. Then we ask him/her if they would like to make that choice now, regardless of whether they asked Christ into their lives or not. The next passages are Romans 5:1; 8:1; 8:38-39. In these next passages of scripture we discuss exactly what the eternal implications of a choice to live for Christ mean. The advantage of the Romans road is that it is pretty cut and dry evangelism. If you have someone who is willing to sit and listen to what you have to say or even read with you, it would be awesome. This method in my opinion works well with people who have already been prepared. The disadvantage to this method is that it’s hard to just walk up to someone and start down the Romans road. You need someone who’s willing to have that conversation. If you wanted to talk to someone who was not very receptive to hearing about Jesus, you wouldn’t...

Feeling zealous, I swaggered along the service line, waiting for the opposing team to ready themselves. I felt as if I was the operator of a laser guided missile, dangerous but precise. I glared at a player on the other side and pointed at them, locking on my...

...At this time the United States of America does not required men to serve in the military like other countries? Well I have wondered why myself to. But I am going to point out three reasons on why I think men should have to serve in this essay. One being men need to learn discipline. Two we need to keep this country that we live in safe and secured. And lastly to boost our economy and put more people to work. Men should serve in the military to lean discipline. Men these day have no respect for there parents let alone the cops. The military will help train them to respect people above them. Not only that it will help them with work ethic from the discipline point of view to be able to do their job and work hard at doing it. They will break you down and build you back up through training and physical training. If you screw up they will teach you how to act and then make you do some kind of physical training so it will sink you to your head. It is vital in our country to keep it protected to keep our freedoms that our fore fathers fought for and all the men and women before us. There for all men should be required to serve in the military. We are in a world of terrorism in this day and age, for example September 11, 2001 automatically comes to mind when I think of terrorism. Therefore men shouldn’t have to be asked to join they should just want to join if they want to keep their freedoms that they have. Where are the jobs in this country? Where is the money in this country...

...You have a mind so hear is a quote from Inherit the Wind, Rachel said,” Bert left the church, but he didn’t abandon God.” Do you believe that you can serve god but not attend the church. You might say no or yes, there is no problem in thinking no for all we know god gave us a mind to think for ourselves. The choice is yours to think but I think that Bert can still serve god and not attend church. There are ways to deny god but many ways to let god into your life and follow him or serve. One way or reason that Bert still serves god is by the Ten Commandments that got made as his rules to be loyal or serve god, even one can mean you still serve god. The most important way to serve go dis to keep him above everything else. This relates to Bert because he still serves god as loving in him still after teaching the Evolution theory, and not using his name in vain....

...Can Women Serve In Combat? The Military Leadership Diversity Commission is recommending that the Pentagon do away with a policy that bans women from serving in combat units, breathing new life into a debate that really should never have developed in the first place. Let’s take a look at the reasons for the current ban, and the reasons why some may be trying to lift the ban that keeps women from serving in direct combat roles. First, Let Me Be Clear Let me be clear in efforts to head off any “you hate women” ignorance. This article is not about whether women should be allowed to serve in the military in general. This is specifically about why I personally believe women (female or trans-gendered) should not be allowed to, forced into, pressured, or even given the option to serve in direct combat roles such as Infantry, Sniper, Special Forces, Recon, Ranger, SEAL, Combat Diver, or Delta units. In my opinion, this is a common sense issue… but to no surprise, the “well-educated” people that have done studies and compiled reports commissioned by the government seem to be incapable of utilizing a commodity such as common sense. And trust me, I have seen many women, especially in the Marine Corps, that were highly capable, willing and able to serve in infantry and combat-related roles. There’s more to it than that. Reasons Why Women Should Not Serve In Direct Combat Roles Strength, equality, logistics, safety and emotions are a few main areas that I would like to discuss...

...“Does god really do Exist”? The world and mankind has been transform into a place where you must have some sort of believe to live. God created man and he had given man a free will to choose who he may serve. Out of this became all different kinds of religions, teaching, and gods, but none are not as powerful as the god all mighty Jesus Christ, who created the heaven and the earth. Before mankind, god create all things on this earth and in the universe and after he said it was prefect. Then god created Adam in his likeness to rule over the land and to serve him in true. Adam was a very obedience man who did all that god wanted him to do, but it was short live, because, when god look at Adam and said to him you are lonely in this garden, I will be creating a mate for you from one of your rib and so he did. Adam now had a mate call Eve, and both of them serve god, and fear him also. When we look at how beautiful this world is it lead you to think about how this earth was really form, may be by a big explosion. All the scientist in this world are buffered about it. Look at the air we breathe, how is it that only this planet could human breath air is that not a miracle. But on our Earth, there is a system designed which removes salt from the water and then distributes that water throughout the globe. Evaporation takes the ocean waters, leaving the salt, and forms clouds which are easily moved by the wind to disperse water over the land, for vegetation, animals and people. It is a...

...ministry. The criteria consist of four specific things the first is confirmation of the call to ministry by others and God. I started this pursuit of ministry officially back in 2009 however I was saved when I was young and born again in high school joined the Army was thrown off course for 6 years then I met my wife we began to invest our time and family in the church and I came to realize by working in the children’s ministry that ministry was my calling. I’m still not sure what level of ministry I feel in my heart it is lead pastoral ministry, but God has not affirmed that yet however God has and so has others many times that the path I am on is the right one and ministry is my calling. The second criteria are possessing the abilities to serve in a leadership position. I have always been a leader ever since I was child. Leading others has been my thing since I was little it continued in high school with athletics then into the military and then into marriage and fatherhood. I displayed many times in ministry my ability to lead others but only with the grace of God and his hand of leadership. Every leader has a follower and God is my leader and I am his follower. The third criteria are a longing to serve in ministry. If you endure what I have endured since 2009 my initial pursuit of ministry, then you know I have a great longing and motivation to serve God in...
