...Just so everyone knows my name is Vicki Westerfield. I am forty-three years old. I wanted to go back to school to follow my dream of becoming an Accountant. I thought I wasn’t going to try my dream out. The reason why is I was working forty hours a week. Plus, sometimes I would work overtime. Then my husband wanted a woman to clean and cook. So, I had to sit down with my husband and with his parents to see if I can do it. They all agreed that I can do it and they will help me out. The first six months went by like a breeze. Then everything started to come back and haunt me. My mother-in-law started to complain about how I was not doing enough to help around the house. Then she went and talked to my father-in-law about why she is complaining. Then my father-in-law came to me and told me I better start helping out that he doesn’t care about how much I have to do. So, I went to my husband and told him about what is going on at home. And that I am doing the best I can. And I need him to help out on the days he has off from work. So, he said he would help out more, so I can study more on my studies. After all of this went down, I had to change my plan once again. This is how I have to do this. That is I get up I have to study, then get dress for work that takes me one hour, go to work and work eight hours, then when I get home clean up where it is needed the most that takes me one hour and half, then I will study for one hour more, then play with my dog for half hour, then...

...build a business that will make you a generous full-time income for the rest of your life. But it’s a much more challenging thing to actually do it. No matter how easy some people try and make it sound, there’s a lot of serious work you have to put into making a business profitable. As a personal coach, I often get asked the question “Why isn’t my online business making the kind of money I hoped it would?” Now, the reasons behind this are varied, but more often than not, one of the most common stumbling blocks tends to be that the person hasn’t set – and committed to – setting aside regular “business hours” to work on following through on their business activities. It’s a classic time management issue. If you’re not making the kind of money you want with your business, then you have to ask yourself if you’ve set and kept specific business hours to take care of what needs to be done. If this isn’t a problem for you, then there’s no need to read further. Maybe you’ll want to check out other articles in this series. But if this does describe the time management obstacle you’re facing in your business, we need to get to changing this right away, or the results could be pretty devestating for your bottom line (especially if it’s at an early stage of your venture). To do this, let’s take a step back for a moment and look at why people resist the idea of setting aside specific hours to build their online business – and how to turn the situation around to your advantage and give you leverage...

...or condition of suffering from a lack of sleep. The CDC claims 60% of people, under the age of 16, suffer from sleep deprivation, and 15% of students in high school fall asleep at some point during the school day. The natural tendency for almost all teenagers is to stay up late, and wake up later in the morning, and obviously it can be hard to do that when you have to wake up at 5:30am to get ready for school. The CMS district should have schools start later, so that we can lower the sleep deprivation rates of students. It will make them more productive, and more safe outside of school. Imagine your kid driving to school while half asleep. Students will go to sleep late no matter what time they have to wake...

...of 10,000 bbl is received out of which 7,000 bbl is wet. At an average processing rate of 600 bbl /hr it will take 11.67 hours to process. Assuming normal working day of 8 hours, there is an overtime of 3.67 hours for each member of the crew on each average working day. III. On a peak day a total of 19,000 bbl is received out of which 13,300 bbl is wet. At an average processing rate of 600 bbl /hr it will take 22.17 hours to process. Thus, there is an overtime of 14 hours. Lack of drying capacity is one of the major reasons for the increase in overtime cost. Another reason is the increase in percentage of wet cranberries. * Waiting time for trucks: Inventory build up = arrival rate – processing rate = 1108 bbl – 600 bbl = 508 bbl at this rate the wet bins will be filled in 3500/508 = 6.89 hours. At the end of the day (12 hours) there will be 450*12=5400 bbl in inventory. Out of this 3,500 bbl will be in bins and rest 1,300 bbl will be in trucks. It will take 1,300/600=2.17 hours to empty the waiting trucks. Thus, inventory will start building from 6.89 hours to 14.17 hours. The average waiting time will be (14.17-6.89)/2=3.64 hours. On an average there will be 1300/75 = 17.33 trucks waiting. Thus, the total waiting time will be 17.33*3.64 = 63.08 hours. Ways to reduce the overtime cost and waiting time: Install more drying capacity: Add 1 more dryer:...

...Introduction 12-Hour shifts have constantly been an argument in the field of nursing. This topic interests me because there is constant jitter around this topic in the nursing field, about whether these shifts are safe, or not. This can be taken into view from the patients view and also the nurses. Many people would support a side that nurses working these long 12-hour shifts could lead to accidents in the working environment. There are also people who would argue that these shifts benefit the patient/nurse relationship, and is more beneficial because there is only three shifts per week. Nurses should not be allowed to work 12-hour shifts because, the physical and emotional impact on their bodies is too debilitating, and the length of the...

The National Sleep Foundation says “For example, short sleep duration is linked with: increased risk of drowsy driving, increase in body mass index – a greater likelihood of obesity due to an increased appetite caused by sleep deprivation, increased risk of diabetes and heart problems, increased risk for psychiatric conditions including depression and substance abuse, decreased ability to pay attention, react to signals or remember new information”. (The National Sleep Foundation). Lack of sleep can also cause students to forget important things. School should start at least an hour later. That one hour can affect the quality of the students towards school work and tests. Cristo Rey Jesuit should begin its school day one hour later because students spend too much...

...that continues to move past America and dead in student educational achievement. Here are some of they differences that the U.S. and China have. School strategies should be created that match school and student need. The “one” size fits all” approach does not work. Today, students would find school more interesting and inspiring with the more useful of visual aids such as DVD’s movies, field trips, internships, on the job experience and training. Class assignments could encourage use of cell phones, Ipads, current tech equipment that todays students enjoy. Not all students are “book learners.” Grade students on what they creatively bring to a class not just label them by a test grade. . The positive parts about the U.S is that we give our kids a social life. That’s a big part of growing up and learning a lot of things about life. I wouldn’t be the person that I am today if it wasn’t for my social life. China send their kids to school ten hours a day unlike us which is six hours. That’s a really long day in normal society and I don’t understand how those kids go to school for ten hours but look where they are. There the smartest kids in the world right now. The positive thing about schools is that their kids are on such a high level its ridiculous. One reason why they are so far ahead is their work ethic. Those kids night and day want to be the best student they can possibly be. They are so afraid to let their parents down because it’s a disgrace if you get...

...Part II: Store Managers Business Letter Just For Me Clothing 123 Retail Row Clarksville Tennessee 37042 (479) 876-5432 www.justforme.com March 27, 2012 Store Managers Just For Me Clothing 108 W. Any Street Rogers, TN 32026 Subject: Change in Store Hours To all Store Managers: I want to start off by saying how much I appreciate your dedication and hard work for this company. This letter is to inform you of the upcoming changes that will be made in all of our retail stores. Starting April 1, 2012, our stores will be adjusting all employee work schedules to help maintain an efficient work environment in this unpleasant economic time. We have restructured our operating times, opening an hour later and closing an hour earlier, while full time employees are still able to maintain working a 40 hour week. Employees, including managers, will work four 10 hour days per week, allowing them to have an extra day off. Part-time employees will now be scheduled into 1, 2, or 3 day workweeks depending on how many hours they are given. It would probably also be a good idea to emphasize the positive impact this will have on employees’ commute time and gas expenses. Due to these changes, although there will be no new stores opening, we are pleased to announce this also means all existing stores will remain open. We are confident that these modifications will make it possible for employees to spend more time with their families as well as securing...

...Technology Croatia Abstract Lately, people have been talking more and more about trying to live a healthier life. Majority of people are trying to be more productive in their business carriers and life in general. That’s where the Intermittent Fasting comes in, or the eating method which restricts the eating window to 8 hours per day. Many scientists and well recognized nutritionists have researched this method and came up with great results. They discovered that fasting promotes not just the fat loss, as other “diets”, but also improves physical performance and psychological processes such as memory and focus, all while providing better protection to the brain. Fasting lifestyle has been proved successful and implemented in many top athletes’ lives throughout the world. Other than biological benefits, fasting showed how well it could be incorporated with time management of someone who is trying to be more productive and efficient in every day life. Intermittent Fasting “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day” – statement claimed by the majority of doctors today, but I’m afraid, not everyone understands the meaning of the word “Breakfast”. The word literally represents the meal by which you break your current fast, or a not eating period. It doesn’t say anywhere when it should happen. People are, not knowingly, fasting every day, usually when they are asleep – since they go through a period of several hours without eating. People are focusing so much towards the future...

...Lyndsey Naworski Service hours Mrs.huddleston Service Hours Requirement Service hours should be a requirement to graduate for multiple reasons. There are many forms of service that can be accepted; community, parish, and school and those are just three of many. Most people believe that service hours lead to being a greater, more intelligent person, along with the fact that it will automatically make our community a more enjoyable place. Because of these service hours the world will be a better place as well. Studies show that people who partake in community service hours are more likely to become voters, will have a higher level of self-efficiency, and that it builds that persons problem- solving skills. Students also find a sense of responsibility and pride behind the service hours. So not only are you helping the community, you are helping yourself. While working service hours, people are able to work out any conflicts they come across and it builds a tolerance of multiple things. Also some places that students go to to fulfill their hours, are counting on...

...not abnormal to see a person working ten to twelve hour days and this does not include the commute time. It is also not abnormal in a family to find both parents working these long hours or even working two jobs. But are these now normal long days having a detrimental impact on today’s youth? Can having parents that appear career focused cause a negative impact on their children? Will not having a parent around for most of the day have a long term psychological impact on the children left waiting at home? Why do parents knowing that they are needed at home still continue to work so many hours instead of spending quality time with their children? The goal of this paper is to explore all of these questions to determine what if any risks are associated with being the child of a career driven parent or parents and insight into why parents continue to work such extreme hours. THE PAST Work is not anything new; it has been around as long as humans can remember. It has stemmed mostly from necessity, from foraging for food to building homes. But it also has at times been used as punishment or as a ways to achieve power such as the Egyptian pyramids years ago. But if you jump ahead to the early nineteenth century and compare it to current times you can see that work has seen some changes. In the early part of the nineteenth century it was often common to see a person work six days a week for more than twelve hours a day. But from then until the 1930’s there was...

After graduating, Brent began working with a large accounting firm in Portland. He is now on his second audit engagement—a company called Northwest Steel Producers. Working day-to-day with Brent on the audit are two other staff auditors, Scott Olsen and Megan Mills, along with the senior auditor, John Peters. Scott and Megan are both second-year staff accountants and are anticipating a promotion to senior in the next year. John Peters has been with the firm for about five years and has been a senior-level auditor for almost three years. Following this busy season, the partners and managers will sit down and decide which seniors to promote to managers. The rumor around the office is that only four or five of the seven eligible seniors in the office will be promoted in the Portland office. Those not promoted in Portland will most likely be asked to transfer to other offices within the firm that need new managers. Some may even be "counseled out" of the firm. John has...
