How employee engagement has been forgotten by many andor remembered by few
How employee engagement has been forgotten by many and/or remembered by few
It is believed that any company which unlocks the secrets of engaging their employees is likely to get very high profits. However, this has never been the case. There are always challenges and confusions which leads to misdirection hence the failure of the employee engagement. The main cause of this is the lack of congruity when talking about the definition and also measurement of the employee engagement. Furthermore, there is also lack of clear distinction between employee engagement and other closely related concepts. This paper’s aim is to conduct an in depth analysis on the importance of engaging employees in any activities of a business activity. It will also give recommendations where the importance found from the managers who practice this will be given.
Lack of clear definition is one of the glaring issues that concern the concept of employee engagement. Different categories of individuals ranging academic researchers, corporations, practitioners and many more have extensive variations on how they give meanings. The harnessing of an organization’s member’s selves with aim of making them work their role; in engagement, people always express themselves physically, emotionally and cognitively during their role performance (Kahn, 1990).
An organization which is always widely associated with employee engagement because of their best-selling book, First, Break all the Rules, The Gallup Organization, have a different definition. They define engaged employee as one who works with passion and feel a profound connection to the company he or she is working for and have a drive innovation to move the organization forward. Employee engagement may also be defined as a process through which an organization aims to increase commitment of its employees as well as continuation to aid in the achievement of superior results. This definition is according to the International Survey Research. This definition however looks at employees’ commitment in three different ways. They may include affective, cognitive, and lastly behavioural which incorporates actions, feelings and thoughts.
The last definition that is taken into consideration by this paper is the process of translating the employees’ potentials into the employee performance as well as business success.
This as a result changes the ways in which employees perform their duty through utilizing the tools found within the armory of internal communication professional (Shaw, 2005).
Before indulging further into the issue of employee engagement, it’s prudent a proper understanding of how employee engagement measurement is done. There are reliable metrics that are used to measure the employee engagement despite the rational and emotional components available. There exists several survey instruments that have been used in measuring the employee engagement. This paper however uses the Q12 survey system which was developed by the Gallup Corporation.
The Q12 survey involves asking 12 questions which had strong linkages to high performance and measured how well the companies were meeting core requirements for the employees. According to this survey, a high score on the 12 items always reflected the underlying emotional engagement among the employees who took the survey. This engagement leads to improvement in business results, as well as increased levels of productivity, employee retention and profitability (Walker, 2012)
When dealing with employee engagement, there are a number of related concepts which must be put into consideration. The four related areas with the employee engagement include organizational citizenship behaviour, job satisfaction, work engagement and organizational commitment. These four go hand in hand to ensure that proper understanding of the employee engagement as well as its importance.
Organizational citizenship behaviour for a long time has always been referred to as the extra role behaviour. The organizational citizenship behaviour can be defined as the behaviour of an individual which is not explicitly recognized by the formal reward system and in the end promotes the efficient and effective functioning of the organization concerned. Practically, the organizational citizenship behaviour improves efficiency and the effectiveness of an organization by supplying support to transformations, adaptations and innovations within the organization. Studying the organizational citizenship behaviour from a macro perspective, it’s found out that it helps to supply direct support to the organization and the individuals found in the organization. This indirectly supports the organization (Anderson & Williams, 1991).
The organizational citizenship behaviour can be divided into many subcategories that gives a common dimension. The sub components includes self-development, organizational loyalty, sportsmanship, helping behaviour, civic virtue, individual initiative and organizational compliance. When a critical review is done on the definitions of the components mentioned above, it’s realized that their definitions is more or less the same as that of employee engagement. The helping behaviour talked about shows or implies an act of voluntary helping others and thus preventing the occurrence of any work related problem. Organizational loyalty on the other hand aims at remaining committed to an individual’s work even during tough situations.
However, the component which tends to show strong relationship with the employee engagement is the individual initiative. It can be defined as the persistence one puts on a job with extra enthusiasm or it can be said to be volunteering to perform extra responsibilities as well as encouraging others within the same organization to follow suit (Podsakoff et al, 2000).
Job satisfaction, is also another concept related to the employee engagement. A number of scholars have tried to come up with a wholesome definition of job satisfaction. According to Brief and Weiss, 2002, they described it as pleasurable or the positive and emotional state that results from recognizing one’s job or the experience from the job. There existed a number of disagreements whether the initially presumed definition was the exact one. It was found that there were so many shortcomings with the Brief and Weiss definition. This made Weiss to modify the definition. Job satisfaction came to be described as the positive or negative evaluation that a person makes about his or her job situation (Weiss, 2002). From time to time, the definition has always updated so as to include a cognitive component in the measurement of job satisfaction.
Work engagement is the third component related to the employee engagement. Work engagement of employees measured or looked at into different categories. It involves vigor, absorption and dedication. Starting with vigour, it can be described as being fully charged with energy as well as resilience in job even during the days when nothing serious happens. Dedication involves one being proud of their work and getting convinced that whatever activity an individual undertakes is significant. Lastly, absorption as a concept means being carried away work to the extent that one forgets everything in the surrounding (Hallberg, 2005).
Lastly, the fourth concept related to the employee engagement is the organizational commitment. This concept entails the process that is gone through when obtaining the goals of an organization’s multiple constituencies. The goals ranges from a broad organizational goals and their values to a more specific formulation. Organizational commitment may also be defined as the willingness to persist in a course of action as well as the reluctance to change plans while keeping the main goal to stay on course. Both the definitions highlight the fact that people are committed to multiple entities. These multiple entities involve emotional and rational components (Vance, 2005). The emotional concept is defined as the positive feeling towards an entity while thee rational component means the state of being conscious as well as thoughtful in planning and executing actions that fulfill commitments.
Having dealt with that, it’s crucial that factors which keep employee engaged are looked into in details. There are three main vital ingredients that make employee engaged. First is the leadership of any particular business organization. The leaders any an organization must set standards that in terms of dedication and then rubs it off to the rest of the employees. The leaders must be able to make difficult decisions correctly and fairly. Furthermore, they should be competent and show consistency in whatever they do. In areas where this is not displayed by the leaders, the employee always feels looked and upon and as result they are always not engaged in whatever activity they undertake. The employees always talk and so poor leadership may be used as the stepping stone to quit any particular job. Good leadership makes an organization to have a very strong employee engagement hence better results (Taylor, 2014).
Secondly, communication and transparency is also a factor or an ingredient that may make your employee engaged or not. This factor however has been underestimated by many and taken for granted. Senior people in an organization always have a notion that employees concern themselves with earning their wages to a larger extent and care very little for other things (Taylor, 2014). The truth of the matter however is that large majority of employees put a lot of emphasis on whether they are regularly being kept in the loop. It always doesn’t matter to them whether it concerns their own development or big decisions of the organization. What actually matters is that it concerns everyone. Openness and good communication makes the employees to feel highly appreciated and hence part of the organization. They don’t feel detached. This makes the organization a better place to be in.
Lastly, enjoyment is also a key ingredient for engaging employees. The most important aspect of employee engagement is considering the fact that they are human beings. The organization does not run at a loss when they introduce elements of fun in the work place. The fun and enjoyment may range from a number of activities like a dress down party on Fridays, monthly trips, or any other thing that appeals to your employees.
The aim of such enjoyment is to make employees feel like they want to work. This will thus make them stay as long as they want. This is however not the case with many jobs. Not many employees always want to make their employees have fun. This makes people have negative attitude towards such jobs leading to very few people doing such jobs. On many occasions, work does not necessarily have to be done with a serious mood at all times. The only way an employer can make the employees feel engaged it to make them feel as if work is something that should be enjoyed rather than being a chore (Taylor, 2014).
It’s therefore clear that employee engagement can be grouped into two main broad categories or rather approach. There is the philosophical approach and the pragmatic approach. The philosophical approach deals with the management philosophy that are considered when making overall decisions of a human resource. The pragmatic approach on the other hand deals with the dedication programmes for employee engagement. Here, measurement of engagement is done. None of the approaches either is stated to provide a clear winner when trying to achieve an engaged work force (Shaw, 2005).
Having placed more emphasis on the engaged employees, it’s now prudent to talk about the disengaged employees. It’s documented that stress is one of the factors that can dislodge a highly engaged worker from conducting his or her duties without other workers or the organization getting aware of the in depth of the problem. Historically, many organizations have not done an in depth survey on how to deal with stress or other emotional problems.
The former acting manager of the Freddie Mae, David Kellerman, committed suicide due to stress April 22, 2009. His death was attributed to the organizations failure to respond to the signs he was showing. The government seized his company after running at a loss of $108 billion. The work environment was also stressing. As if that was not enough, he always received so much criticism from the media. All these prompted him to commit suicide. This is the worst that happens when employees are not engaged.
Recommendations for managers
From the readings and research done, the following are some of the recommendations that ought to be considered by managers to ensure a proper way of promoting customer engagement.
The managers should take specific actions or steps to achieve success. While doing this, they must always remember that each and every company is unique and therefore the action they take should be specific to that particular company. The customers should always be provided with as much information as possible to help make them engaged.
The managers should always know the approach that their organization ought to take and why that approach is important. The employees should also be given the approach used by the organization. When this is done, it makes them know why it’s done. This makes them feel part and parcel of the organization and hence promotes the level of employee engagement. Mutual agreement should also be made with the employees. This makes them know what is expected of them.
Rechanneling of extensive time and resources should be done by the employers. This always forms the basis of creating a new employee engagement initiative. A company may be working on the already made initiatives. These initiatives may be giving forth good results. Coming up with a whole new initiative might lead to misdirection in a healthy focus which has been in existence for a long time and thus would lower the progress of a company. Engaging in such activities should be avoided at all cost.
The concept of employee engagement is one that is very wide. The engagement of employees affects different levels of an organization ranging from micro and macro levels. So as to reduce the existing ambiguity when it comes to matters of the employee engagement, a lot more need to be done in this area. Any organization willing to get better results from applying the issue of employee engagement should do so with a lot of caution. Anything done be based on the strengths and weaknesses found, any related concept as well as all the unveiled fields in the issue of employee engagemen

Speedball, and even more so its sequel Brutal Deluxe, had been big, influential hits. Other games applying a similar style to basic (or, to give it a more positive spin, proven and trusted) concepts of the sports genre started flooding the market. One of these copycat games iswhich goes as far as almost copying the player portraits verbatim.
The sport presented here is a simplistic ball game where two players (two human opponents or one against a computer-controlled one) try to throw the ball into certain scoring zones before it is bounced back from the invisible walls or the arena while obviously trying to prevent the opponent from doing the same. Any kind of body contact is not possible; rather, both players need to stay on their own side of the pitch. So gliding left or right to catch the ball and then throwing it at just the right angle to hit the targets while avoiding the other player's attempts to block it is key.
At first glance,looks rather attractive in its three-dimensional view on the arena. The checkerboard pattern on the floor, with tiles lighting up as the ball passes them, actually helps orientation immensely. Opponent skills vary vastly, with the training drone being adaptable while the real players whom you can play in the “underground league” for money will, of course, just be the way they are (but still different from one another). Different pitch layouts, with obstacles scattered all around, but always symmetrical to keep things fair, make for additional challenge.
So it's not too bad, until you realize it's really not much more than a glorified Pong: try to get the ball flying at an angle so that it will pass the opponent and consider its bouncing pattern when it will hit the walls. Those only being implicitly visible (the perspective does not allow for actual walls to be shown, but empty tiles indicate where they will be) does not exactly help to foresee well where the ball will go. Defensive maneuvers are actually more or less impossible given the graphical viewpoint.
The only hope is therefore really to score higher than the opponent. In this respect, unfortunately, hardly any games ever seem to be close at the end. Maybe it's my clumsy playing style, but either I seem to beat an opponent easily or I get my ass handed to me so badly that “sitting” through the final three quarters, basically watching the opponent score higher and higher becomes quite tedious.
In the end, no stylish menu pictures can save this one. Sporting a simple core game mechanic is not the problem; making it worse by moving it into the third dimension is. This decision makesactually less playable than the hundreds of Pong clones and variants which just have a plain overhead view.

The smartphone market grew to about 100 million units last quarter. That’s nearly double what it was a year earlier and triple what it was three years earlier, the year the iPhone made its debut.
Few markets grow this quickly, especially as this tripling happened during one of the worst recessions for a century. 100 million units a quarter is not a small number. The rate at which smartphones are growing makes clear the trajectory of where all phones are going.
As I’ve shown in profitability charts, vendors have been benefiting to differing degrees. The overall smartphone market with individual vendors is shown below: Continue reading “Comparing Share of Growth: Integrated smartphone vendors held their own in Q4”

There is no doubt that laws are made for a reason and the laws of a society reflect the values of that society because of tradition, necessity, and expectation. But occasionally there will be a law, which is unjust and wrong though not for everyone but say, for a group of people. If the law contradicts their high morals or religion, it is right for them to protest against it in a reasonable way. So now the question is what is that reasonable way and how to protest against an unjust law? First people have to ask themselves if there is a higher purpose, which make them to disobey it. They should look beyond the intent of the law and immediate results to see what the final result will be. It is not right to disobey an unjust law for just personal convenience. People should look at the alternatives, weigh them against what their personal beliefs may be, and then make a judgment based on their individual moral values.
20 卢梭观点： 社会和法律
Should we obey an unjust law? According to the theory of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, 18th century French political philosopher, in a democratic society the state represents the general will of the citizens, and that in obeying its laws each citizen is pursuing his own real interests. Thus, in an ideal state, laws express the general will. An individual who disagrees with a law must be failing to look at things from the moral standpoint. Rousseau is talking about an ideal state where laws express people?s general will, a will that aims at the common good. But the question is: are we living in an ideal state and do all the laws of our land express the common will of the people and should we obey all the laws even if they are unjust? The answer to this question can be different for different people.
A state is an organized political community occupying a definite territory, having an organized government, and possessing internal and external sovereignty. Recognition of the state?s claim to independence by other states, enabling it to enter into international agreements, is often important to the establishment of its statehood. The “state” can also be defined in terms of domestic conditions, specifically, as conceptualized by Max Weber, “a state is a human community that (successfully) claims the monopoly of the ?legitimate? use of physical force within a given territory.”
Government can be defined as the political means of creating and enforcing laws, typically via a bureaucratic hierarchy.
Politics is the process by which decisions are made within groups. Although the term is generally applied to behavior within governments, politics is also observed in all human group interactions, including corporate, academic, and religious institutions. Many different political systems exist, as do many different ways of understanding them, and many definitions overlap. The most common form of government worldwide is a republic; however, other examples include monarchy, social democracy, military dictatorship and theocracy.All of these issues have a direct relationship with economics.

Though you could quite easily accuse this album of being a little bit of a mess stylistically, I think the daring nature of Access Code is what makes it work best. One thing's for sure: the technicality associated with death metal is here, and there are some harsh vocals, but really this is an altogether different kind of thing. An impressive blend of fusion and progressive music tied together with technical metal and brutality. Bands such as Atheist, Death and Pestilence had been experimenting in the same way for many years, but these guys are arguably the most "far out" of these excursions, these guys are really kick ass musicians dabbling in fusion influences. The musicianship on display here is absolutely stellar, mindblowing yet tasteful. No wank to be found. The vocals are the one thing that is likely to put off some listeners,there are bits of whispering and clean vocals used sparingly at other moments, and though the death vocals are quite firmly in the style, they do fit the songs very nicely and give it a bit more of a sharp edge. The lyrics are mysterious yet relatable, concerned with personal and cosmic themes. I really like them. The production is solid, allows everything to be heard nicely and I can't really fault it. Though it may not click for everyone at first, and may never click for some, Access Code is a unique gem in extreme music. Interesting!!

The innovative Viewpoints section celebrates the distinctive visions of its innovative voices and will feature 27 unique and fascinating films of self-discovery and self-definition from 12 countries. Some films are personally intimate and identity seeking such as Gregory Kohn’s soul-searching drug trip COME DOWN MOLLY and Patrick O’Brien’s TRANSFATTY LIVES that documents his heroic efforts to maintain his creative self in the face of a devastating ALS diagnosis.
Other stories of identity take on larger implications such as ORION: THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING, which raises questions about personal –v- public identity, fame, and legacy through the story of a mysterious masked singer many believed to be Elvis back from the dead. There are also coming of age viewpoints – either taken in adolescence or adulthood like the young women of BEING 14 and the rough-and-tumble boys of KING JACK, who claw their ways towards adulthood within the war zones of puberty and high school, while the ostensible adults of TENURED behave more like the grade school students they are teaching

You have probably heard about E. coli. It has given meat, fruit, and veggies some pretty bad press. E. coli is actually Escherichia coli. But no one can pronounce Escherichia, so everyone just calls it E. for short. Now that we’re on first name terms with this little bacteria, let’s get a little more up close and personal. (But not too close…)
The most common type of E. coli bacteria that can cause food-borne illness in people is the shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC). It is also called verocytotoxic E. coli (VTEC) or enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC). The strain of STEC known as O157:H7 (usually just called O157) is the most common cause of E. coli food borne illness.
Because STEC lives in the intestines, it is shed in the feces. Anything that has contact with animal or human feces that is infected with STEC could carry the bacteria. Poor hygiene is a common cause of STEC infection. The most common sources of infection with STEC are contaminated food (meat or produce) or water, raw milk, direct contact with animals (even at a petting zoo), or direct contact with infected people.
Symptoms of STEC food poisoning are similar to other types of food poisoning – severe abdominal cramps, diarrhea (often with blood), nausea, and vomiting. People with STEC food poisoning usually do not have a fever. These symptoms usually begin within 3-4 days of eating contaminated food, but it can start as soon as 1 day or as long as 10 days later. Most people get better with rest and fluids within 5-7 days. With severe diarrhea, some people may need to be hospitalized for complications associated with diarrhea (like dehydration).
Some people (5-10%) may develop a complication called Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS). HUS occurs with the STEC bacteria damage the kidneys. Signs of HUS typically start around 7 days after the diarrhea begins. Signs of HUS can include decreased urination, feeling very tired, and becoming pale. Anyone experiencing these symptoms needs to be hospitalized for treatment. Most people do recover from HUS without any side effects, but it can be life-threatening in some cases.
As with other food-borne illnesses, young children, older adults, pregnant women, and anyone with a compromised immune system are at the highest risk for becoming infected with STEC. Young children and older adults are also at a higher risk of developing HUS.
Another type of E. coli that can cause disease in people is enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC). ETEC is common in underdeveloped countries and is a common cause of travelers’ diarrhea. Eating contaminated food or drinking contaminated water can lead to an ETEC infection. ETEC infections have similar symptoms as STEC infections, but it is not a common cause of food poisoning in the United States.
E. coli Prevention
It is possible to reduce your family’s risk of becoming sick from E. coli with a few easy at-home practices.
- Practice good personal hygiene. Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water after using the bathroom and before preparing food. Wash again after touching any raw meat.
- Wash your hands after handling animals, especially livestock (cows, sheep, and goats).
- Wash all produce before preparing it (except bagged, pre-washed produce).
- Use a food thermometer to know when meats are fully cooked.
- Avoid raw milk, unpasteurized apple cider, or cheeses made with raw milk.
- Avoid drinking untreated water, such as water in lakes, streams, public pools, or backyard kiddie pools.
- Use separate cutting boards and utensils for raw meats, produce, and cooked foods to avoid cross-contamination.
- Perishable foods should not be kept at room temperature for longer than 2 hours.
Remember, signs of E. coli food poisoning don’t start to show until 5-7 days after the contaminated food was eaten. It can be difficult to pinpoint the food that was contaminated with E. coli to make you sick. Call a doctor if anyone in your family has diarrhea, abdominal cramps, fever, vomiting, or any other signs that you think might be food poisoning.

Restaurant style recipe of whole wheat flat bread flavored with mint and spices. 'pudina' is the hindi word for mint leaves and paratha is an unleavened flat bread made from whole wheat flour.
for kneading dough
tightly packed fresh mint leaves
or 17 to 18 grams fresh mint leaves
whole wheat flour
or 240 grams
or ghee or butter
½ to 1
or add as per taste
or add as required
spice mix for pudina paratha
tightly packed fresh mint leaves
or 17 to 18 grams fresh mint leaves or 1 tablespoon dry mint leaves
dry red chili
- broken and seeds removed (optional)
for roasting paratha
oil or ghee as required
Begin with rinsing the mint leaves and keeping them aside.
We will use 1 cup tightly packed fresh mint leaves of which half is added to the dough and the other half is added to the spice mix.
kneading dough for pudina paratha
Then start with the dough preparation - in a mixing bowl or pan, take 2 cups whole wheat flour (240 grams), 2 tsp oil or ghee or butter and 1/2 to 1 tsp salt or add as per taste.
Mix very well.
Then add 1/2 cup tightly packed fresh mint leaves (finely chopped). Again mix very well.
Now add water in parts. Initially you can add 1/3 to 1/2 cup water.
Mix and begin to knead the dough.
Add more water as required and knead to a smooth dough. Overall I used 2/3 cup of water to knead the dough. Depending on the quality of flour, you may need to add more or less water.
Cover the dough and keep aside for 30 minutes.
making spice mix for pudina paratha
In a pan, add 1/2 cup tightly packed fresh mint leaves.
On a low flame or sim with frequent stirs, roast the mint leaves. Some mint leaves will darken, but continue to roast them till they turn crisp.
Once the leaves are roasted and dried, then remove and keep aside.
In the same pan, add cumin seeds, fennel seeds and roast for half a minute on a low flame.
Next add 1 dry red chili, broken and seeds removed. Red chili is optional, but I do add for the bit of heat it provides in the parathas.
Roast till the cumin seeds become fragrant. Remove aside and add them in a dry grinder or a spice grinder.
When the cumin and fennel seeds become warm or cool down, add the dried mint leaves.
Grind to a semi fine mix or a fine powder.
Remove in a plate. Also add 1 tbsp chaat masala.
Mix both the spice blends very well. Keep aside.
rolling pudina paratha
After 30 minutes, make medium sized balls of the dough.
Take the dough ball on the rolling board and sprinkle some flour on both sides.
Roll the ball to a large thin chapati of about 9 to 10 inches.
Spread or brush some oil all over. Sprinkle some flour evenly.
Now sprinkle the spice mixture that we had prepared.
Begin to fold from the edges like a fan with pleats.
Fold towards the end and then roll tightly to a circle. Press the loose end at the center downwards.
Prepare the pleated roll balls like these and keep aside covered to rest for 12 to 15 minutes.
Now take one pleated ball and dust some flour on both sides.
Roll to a paratha of about 5 to 6 inches.
making pudina paratha
Place the paratha on a hot tawa.
When you see the paratha puffing up at some places and is ¼th cooked then flip.
Spread some oil or ghee on this side.
Flip again and spread some oil or ghee on this side too.
Flip a couple of times to get even roasting and cooking of the parathas.
Press the edges with a spatula so that they are cooked well.
You can make these parathas more crisp by cooking for some more time.
Remove and place the pudina paratha on a plate or tray. Crush them between your palms taking care of the heat, so that the layers separate.
The pudina paratha is ready to be served now.
Make all pudina paratha this way. If you are unable to serve them immediately, then stack them in a casserole or a roti basket and serve them once you have made all the parathas.
Do note that these parathas have to be served hot or warm.
Sprinkle the spice mix on top and serve pudina paratha plain with some mango pickle or curd or with a dal fry or a veg curry or gravy.
Mint parathas have to be served hot or warm.

Just in case you were hoping to pop the big question at
McDonald's, the chain has launched a burger for that very scenario. Called the
McMarryMe burger, customers at McDonald's Austria locations can order an
engagement on a bun.
According to Burger Business, the McMarryMe burger is part
of the "Mein Burger" or "My Burger" competition — a yearly contest popular at participating
McDonald's in Europe. People come up with their own burger creations, using
ingredients already available at McDonald's, and then submit them. Finalists
are chosen and those burgers are then available at McDonald's for a limited
Once of those finalists in Austria this year was cleverly
named, the McMarryMe Burger. The burger consists of three beef patties, Cheddar
cheese, lettuce, onion, and ketchup. While the McMarryMe isn't nearly
outrageous as some of the other finalists, its name has certainly made it a fan
favorite. McDonald's even ran a commercial for the new creation, which pictures
a bride and groom tying the knot at McDonald's.
While there's no word yet on whether anyone has taken advantage
of the burger's second usage, McDonald's customers won't have too much longer
to ask someone to "McMarry" them.

Some Republicans have proposed shrinking or abolishing welfare. Some Democrats think the government should do more to help recipients.
President Clinton offered a middle-ground approach Tuesday, unveiling a long-awaited, $9.3 billion welfare package that would put a two-year time limit on cash welfare benefits, something he proposed to do in his campaign.
Clinton's "new Democrat" solution insists that able-bodied aid recipients move off welfare rolls and into the work force. But it also tries to ease the transition through increased spending on training, child care and job-placement programs.
For cost reasons, the plan for revamping the $23 billion welfare system is much more limited in scale than the White House envisioned. The plan won't "end welfare as we know it," as Clinton once pledged to do, but initially will affect only a portion of the 5 million households on Aid to Families with Dependent Children: those recipients born after 1971.
The plan would be paid for though cuts in other social programs. The biggest savings, $3.7 billion over five years, would come from tightening aid rules for immigrants, especially those whose U.S. sponsors can support them.
The White House proposed a cap on state spending in the AFDC emergency assistance program, saving $1.6 billion. And the corporate Superfund tax would be extended, providing another $1.6 billion.
While other efforts to revamp the welfare system have failed, Clinton said he believed his would succeed because it requires more responsibility from aid recipients in exchange for more support services. He said that universal health care was a cornerstone of the plan to make work more attractive than welfare.
"I really believe we have a chance, finally, to replace dependence with independence," Clinton said.
Announcing the plan in Kansas City, Mo., Clinton predicted that 1 million welfare recipients will have moved into the labor force by the year 2000.
The plan is expected to be sent later this month to Capitol Hill, where other welfare reform bills, including several that are similar to the White House plan, are pending. But with health care dominating the agenda, Congress is unlikely to act on welfare before next year.
The changes proposed in the 60-year-old Aid to Families with Dependent Children program reflects growing public frustration over the dramatic increase in out-of-wedlock births. They also mirror society's changing attitudes on the role of women, who head the vast majority of welfare households and now are expected to balance work and family duties.
If after two years, a private-sector job isn't available, a minimum-wage, community service job would be provided. But holders of those public jobs would be required to return to the private labor market to look for work after 12 months.
Those who refused to participate in education programs or refused to work would lose their welfare checks. Exceptions to the work requirement would be made for mothers with disabilities, infants under 1 year or disabled children. But even some of those exemptions would be limited.
The proposal also attempts to emphasize personal responsibility by toughening provisions for collecting child support.
Hospitals would be required to establish paternity at birth. A mother who refuses to identify or find her child's father would risk losing her aid check.
Deadbeat dads would face the loss of their drivers' or occupational licenses. A national clearinghouse would be established to catch parents who flee across state lines to avoid support payments.
A national campaign against teen pregnancy would encourage young people to delay childbearing until they reach a more responsible age.
States, some of which have been aggressive in trying various reform experiments, would be given flexibility to adopt other carrot-and-stick measures to encourage work and discourage out-of-wedlock births.
States would be allowed to limit benefits for additional children born after the family goes on welfare. Some states already have obtained federal permission to use such "family caps."
And states would be permitted to change program rules so recipients could accumulate more savings and accept child support without facing the penalty of reduced aid checks. That could help recipients become independent more quickly.
Criticisms of the plan underscore the difficulties Clinton faces in trying to offer a middle-of-the-road solution on the polarizing issue of welfare. The White House plan was attacked by liberals as too punitive and by conservatives as not sweeping enough.
Welfare rights groups warned that the plan could thrust more children into poverty if their parents' aid checks are cut. Children account for two-thirds of welfare dependents.
"Time-limiting benefits will create more problems than it will solve," said Sunny Harris Rose, president of the National Association of Social Workers.
Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) criticized the plan for not creating enough jobs to employ all AFDC recipients.
"Jobs that pay liveable wages, the kind that can support families, are fundamental to welfare reform," Rush said.
Rep. Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) said that Clinton "promised us a Ferrari and gave us a Yugo" on welfare reform. Gingrich said he agreed with the plan's work requirements but he believed that Clinton should have adopted some of the "more decisive" experiments being tried in various states.
In Illinois, Gov. Jim Edgar said he welcomed Clinton's initiative but said the federal government should do more to allow the states the freedom to pursue their own welfare-to-work proposals.
Edgar said proposals incorporated in Illinois' welfare system have "taken waivers from outdated and rigid federal welfare rules to accomplish," and added that "it is more important than ever that those waivers keep coming."
Welfare-to-work programs already in place in Illinois provide incentives to keep public aid recipients in school and allows more of them to retain more outside income while receiving public assistance.
But the Chicago-based Public Welfare Coalition called Clinton's plan "a new wave of federalism" in joining with 85 civil rights and religious groups across the country in challenging the president's initiative.
"We are staunchly opposed to giving states free reign to limit the rights of welfare mothers and punish children. And these methods will do nothing to discourage teen pregnancies," said Sharron Matthews, the coalition's executive director.
"While we support the president's focus on making the transition from welfare to work, what assurances are we getting that there will be enough public service jobs available for those who can't find employment after two years?"

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- President Obama is expected to make a major immigration announcement soon, after saying one would come before the end of the summer.
Immigration advocates from across the country, including a group from Charlotte, are marching to the White House in a final push for relief.
"The march is sort of one final push for Obama," said Jaime Villegas with Latin American Coalition.
Villegas is packed up and ready to head to DC with fellow advocates. For him the fight is personal.
"When my mom came over she was struggling a lot and it wasn't after until she was married to a U.S citizen that she was able to apply for citizenship and go through that process," said Villegas.
The group joined together by the Latin American Coalition plan to march Thursday in D.C. with thousands from across the country, to the White House in anticipation of President Obama promising an immigration announcement by the end of the summer and Villegas says they want big relief.
"Workers, some sort of workers permit for people, the parents of US citizen children and then for children who aren't covered under the DACA act that was passed," said Villegas.
Mary Espinosa founded United 4 the Dream, she's also making the personal voyage.
"This is particularly important because I have friends that did not qualify for deferred action first time around and have friends who want to be able to work and go to school and those things but are not able to," said Espinosa.
The group has staged many marches here in Charlotte to stop deportation and separating families.
"Over two million people have been deported in his administration and it's affecting a lot of families and it's separating them, and that's what we want to have stopped," said Villegas.
Though they are aware of immense opposition to their cause, they say they're taking it to the President and not being deterred by those against them.
"You have to be positive in things like this. You have to be positive you have to believe that what you fight for is the right thing, right cause and you have to stay true to it," said Espinosa.
The group will arrive there Wednesday night and then the march is planned for noon Thursday. No word on exactly when Obama will make his announcement.
Here is a look at five changes proponents and critics of the White House say could be on the way:
1. DEPORTATION REPRIEVES
In 2012, Obama created a program called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, which allowed undocumented immigrants brought to the country as children to apply to the federal government to be removed from consideration for deportation for two years. More than 550,000 people have been approved, and many of those are in the process of applying for two-year extensions.
The president may expand that pool considerably. Possible beneficiaries include parents, siblings and spouses of DACA recipients, parents of U.S.-born children and undocumented immigrants who have lived in the USA for long periods of time. Immigration advocates have estimated up to 5 million undocumented immigrants could benefit.
A group of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents sued the president over DACA, arguing it violated his congressional mandate to carry out immigration enforcement laws.
Immigration advocates say the president is well within his constitutional authority to decide which of the nation's undocumented immigrants should be targeted for deportation given the government's limited funding.
The president could grant "temporary protected status" to people from countries ravaged by war, violence or disasters. Or he could use various forms of "parole" granted to undocumented immigrants such as those with immediate relatives in the U.S. military.
2. WORK AUTHORIZATION
When undocumented immigrants are approved for DACA, they are eligible for a work permit that allows them to legally work in the country. Any expansion of that program would probably include a similar ability to work.
Business groups are pressing the White House to change some regulations that govern foreigners trying to enter and work in the USA. For example, a technical change in federal regulations could free up hundreds of thousands of green cards for foreign workers. Obama could also change a rule that restricts the spouses of foreigners working in high-tech fields from working while in the country.
Agricultural groups are pressing Obama to change visas for lower-skilled workers. The system makes it difficult for farmers and ranchers to quickly bring in workers they need, something they want Obama to address on his own without congressional authority.
Opponents such as Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., have argued that such efforts would take jobs away from Americans.
"Tens of millions of Americans are on welfare, unemployment and public assistance," Sessions said recently. "Yet the White House and their Senate majority seem more concerned about the economic demands of large corporations or the citizens of other countries than about getting our own citizens back to work into stable jobs that can support a family and uplift a community."
3. POLICE AUTHORITY
Over the course of Obama's presidency, the Department of Homeland Security has expanded a program to every U.S. county called Secure Communities that gives police the ability to check the immigration status of people they've arrested for other crimes.
Proponents say its critical to help federal officials know immediately when immigration law violators are in custody. Once a person is flagged, ICE can request that police hold onto that suspect, even after their local charges have been cleared, so federal officials can pick them up and process them for immigration violations.
The program has been lambasted by immigration advocates and some law enforcement officials who say it breeds distrust between undocumented immigrants and the police officers who patrol their neighborhoods. A growing number of cities and states from California to Maryland to Oregon have refused to comply with the federal requests to hold the violators.
Another program, known as 287(g), deputizes police to help enforce immigration laws. The Obama administration has not pushed for a nationwide rollout of the program like it did with Secure Communities, but 34 local agencies use it.
Immigration advocates hope the president scales back those programs or eliminates them.
4. MILITARY SERVICE
Law prohibits undocumented immigrants from serving in the armed forces.
A change in that policy has been proposed by Democrats and Republicans alike. Rep. Jeff Denham, R-Calif., proposed the ENLIST Act this year, which would allow some undocumented immigrants to join the military and get a green card after their service, but House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, did not bring it to the House floor.
The secretary of Defense has the power to allow some immigrants to enlist if their skills are considered vital to "national interests." Obama could use that power to expand the number of undocumented immigrants who can join the military.
Some legislators are concerned that U.S. citizens with undocumented immigrant dependents have been barred from joining the military. Obama could eliminate that hurdle or provide a more uniform set of rules for those cases.
5. CENTRAL AMERICAN CHILDREN
Before Congress adjourned for its August recess, Obama requested $3.7 billion to help the federal government deal with the 50,000 Central American children caught crossing the border. Congress left town without approving any funding, and that could open the door for the president to make some changes on his own.
The administration has redirected funding and manpower toward the border. ICE agents, immigration judges and U.S. attorneys are being reassigned from the interior of the country to the border to process the waves of unaccompanied children being caught. Immigration courts face years-long backlogs, so the president could make broad changes to speed up the deportation hearings of those caught.
In 2011, the administration published a new set of guidelines dictating where federal authorities would focus their deportation efforts. For example, undocumented immigrants with extensive criminal records, those who pose a threat to national security and repeat border-crossers would be targeted before others. The president could change those priorities to focus more on Central Americans caught crossing the border.

The track list on Dan +Shay's self-titled third album has a song crediting Kelly Clarkson as a featured vocalist. Upon a full listen, you will think they forgot about a few others. The disc features the duo's contemporary sound that mirrors many artists in the genre. The lead-off track, "Alone Together," evokes Rascal Flatts' Gary LeVox and is half of the only seven minutes on the tidy 35-minute collection that represent anything near up-tempo.

Dan Myers and James Shay Mooney came from different parts of the country (Allegheny County, Pa. and Arkansas, respectively) and met in Nashville where each was tracking the well-worn path to country music success. They began writing songs together a little over three years ago, already have a hit album ("Where It All Began") and now have another tiger by the tail.

Dan + Shay debut with a likable disc, if your bent is the Rascal Flatts world of country. In fact, Dan Smyers of Pittsburgh and Shay Mooney of Arkansas come mighty close to mimicking the longstanding country stars with the biggest difference that they're a duo and Rascal Flatts is a trio. Perhaps the similarities ought come as no surprise because the duo started writing the day after they met in Nashville in December 2012. Guess who placed their first song on hold? Rascal Flatts. »»»

Monica Rizzio's second album, "Sunshine Is Free," emblematic of its title, ushers in bright country music, with roots touches but generally gliding in melodic, uplifting country territory. Put this in your player when you need a smile or two. »»»

One of the more positive things that have happened since hurricanes Maria and Irma passed through the Caribbean region last year is the increased awareness for charitable organizations in the travel sector supporting the Caribbean region! These philanthropic organizations include the Sandals Foundation, the charity arm of Sandals Resorts International which recently celebrated nine years of operation.
Focusing on community, education and environmental projects, the Sandals Foundation was set up in March 2009 to expand on the charitable work that was being undertaken by Sandals Resorts International since it opened its first all-inclusive hotel in Jamaica circa 1981. Sandals Resorts International now has five hotel brands and 24 properties in seven countries across the Caribbean region including Antigua, The Bahamas, Grenada, Barbados, Jamaica, Saint Lucia and Turks and Caicos. The hotel brands include Sandals Resorts, Beaches Resorts, Grand Pineapple Beach Resorts, Fowl Cay Resort and Your Jamaican Villas.
While most of the projects that the Sandals Foundation undertakes are on the seven Caribbean islands where Sandals Resorts International has hotel properties, they also support the recovery efforts on other islands after major natural disasters. In total, Sandals Foundation has made contributions of US$45 million to various community, education and environmental projects which have impacted well over 700,000 lives across the Caribbean region. The Sandals Foundation projects are supported by in-kind and cash donations from corporations and hotel guests with the guarantee that 100% of the donations go directly into projects benefiting Caribbean communities. Thus cost associated with the administration and management of Sandals Foundation projects are paid for by Sandals Resorts International.
Voluntourism through Sandals Foundations
Hotel guests at the 24 Sandals Resorts International properties can sponsor a child’s education through the Sandals Foundation scholarship program or make a general monetary contribution that will be put towards one of the communities, education or environmental projects. Through a partnership with Pack For A Purpose, hotel guests can also contribute to the Sandals Foundation efforts by packing and bringing up to five pounds of school supplies for local communities. Guests can also participate in one more of the voluntourism projects which varies by resort.
One voluntourism opportunity that is at the majority of Sandals Resorts International hotel properties, is the Scholastic Reading Road Trip which is a volunteer literacy program aimed at improving the listening, reading and comprehension skills of local children between the ages of fives and seven. And I had the chance to participate in this program during my recent stay at Sandals Grande Antigua Resort & Spa.
One of the partner schools for the Sandals Foundation in Antigua is the Villa Primary School which has about 300 students from kindergarten to grades six making it one of the larger primary schools in Antigua. And it was at the Villa Primary School that I got to volunteer via the Scholastic Reading Road Trip program. I brought along four books as a donation to the library and read the two for younger students. I started by reading Izzy Gizmo in a somewhat animated manner, and then many of the children took turns reading out sections of If I Had A Dinosaur with me to the rest of the class.
The children were attentive and extremely engaged which made for a truly rewarding experience. Thus I would highly recommend the Scholastic Reading Road Trip to guests staying at all Sandals Resorts, Beaches Resorts, and Grand Pineapple Beach Resort. In fact, I look forward to doing this excursion on my visit to all Sandals Resorts International hotel properties. The two-hour educational excursion is drastically different from most of the other activities and is an excellent opportunity to help students improve their reading skills for a nominal, tax-deductible donation.
Sandals Foundation in Antigua
Beyond helping students improve their reading skills through the Scholastic Reading Road Trip program which was quite rewarding, below are some of the other recent activities by the Sandals Foundation in Antigua.
*Provided two Intensive Infant Care Units for use by pre-term babies to the Mount St John’s Medical Center
* Sponsored (2015-2018) the Swalings Football Club program allowing fifteen children who could not afford the fees to attend the certified football program
* Donated ten wheelchairs to the Antigua & Barbuda Red Cross Wheel Chair loan program
* Built a playground at Villa Primary School
* Donated 2,265 books to school libraries across Antigua in partnership with Hands Across the Seas
* Planted 200 trees at the park surrounding the national cricket stadium as part of Earth Day 2016 activities.
* Distributed 1,000 reusable shopping bags to citizens for free at popular supermarkets across the island
These are but a small portion of the successful community, education, and environmental projects over the last nine years from Sandals Foundation made possible by their generous staff, hotel guests, and corporate and government partners which is definitely a cause for celebration. As Sandals Foundation President, Adam Stewart states, “it represents nine years of playing a meaningful role in the development of this incredible region, a region we call home. Like most things in life, everything is better when done besides your friends, and I’m honored to say that the Sandals Foundation has truly wonderful friends in all four corners of the world.”

Baldy View Park is located at 11th Street between Mountain and San Antonio Avenue. Baldy View Park is not currently reservable, but is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Baldy View Dog Park
BALDY VIEW DOG PARK:
Upland Dog Park/Baldy View Dog Park was established in April, 1999. It's a 5-acre fenced in park where people can bring their dogs and let them run around with other dogs. It's extremely healthy & beneficial for the dogs, and also for the owners, as it is a most social activity since everyone who meets there has at least one thing in common; dogs. The dog park also has a smaller fenced in area to accommodate small or timid dogs.
For additional information regarding Baldy View Park or the Baldy View Dog Park, please contact Upland Recreation and Community Services at (909) 931-4280.
Hot Dog! Baldy View Dog Park Is Expanding!
Calling all canines: Paw-ty at the dog park! The City of Upland's dog park located at Baldy View Park will begin a major renovation and expansion project this year that will bring new amenities and programming for pups, making life more fun for Upland's dog (and their owner's, too.)
The dog park is expanding and utilizing the existing footprint in the redesign. Both the large and small dog play areas will grow by 20%. In addition, a slew of other upgrades are coming, including new dog play amenities like ramps and tunnels; additional shade; more seating; concrete paths for accessibility; new entrances to both dog park areas; new sod and LED lighting. The City will also plan events and programming at the dog park once the renovation is completed and the dog park re-opens. The work is expected to start soon and wrap up next year.
The project funding is coming from three sources: $500,000 from the City of Upland Quimby fees (which can only be spent on parks) and $500,000 each from San Bernardino County Supervisors Jesse Armendariz and Curt Hagman, whose districts serve Upland. Armendariz and Hagman are tapping into their county discretionary funds for district-specific priority programs. Architectural services are being donated by Luke Sugino Architects, Inc., based in Pasadena.
Please Note: This project includes irrigation upgrades for Baldy View Park. The dog park will be closed during renovations and Baldy View Dog Park may have intermittent closures. Stay tuned for updates on renovations, alternative play options for dogs, and groundbreaking information.

Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- The creepy crawlies are scuttling back to Dirty Dining, just in time for Halloween.
It usually takes more than 40 demerits to shut a restaurant down, but Pho Little Saigon on South Eastern and the 215 was closed with 34 demerits because of an imminent health hazard after inspectors found a gross, unsanitary condition.
"We're here because you guys are on our Dirty Dining report this week from when you got shut down due to a cockroach infestation," Chief Investigative Reporter Darcy Spears announced to the person in charge at the restaurant.
Roaches were found inside containers of flour, sugar and starch. They were even inside a bag of frozen squid.
Darcy: So you guys obviously know you had a bunch of cockroaches everywhere. How did that happen?
Brian Hoang: Actually, the cockroaches come from the other store when they deliver the foods. And we clean it now, everything, we throw away the foods and we deep clean now and we call pest control to take care of it already.
Darcy: It says that there were multi-generational roaches, which means old, young, dead, alive, so it's not like they just crawled in one day and were there.
Health inspectors found roaches throughout the facility, coming in through holes in the ceiling tiles and a gap at the back door. They were feeding on old food debris, grease and the carcasses of their counterparts.
Darcy: That means they were here for quite some time. Enough time to breed.
Brian: Yeah they, probably, they been here almost two weeks, but we do clean out everything. Right now everything go back to normal, everything perfect.
At the Oct. 1 inspection, inspectors also found noodles, rice and garlic at improper temperatures and utensils stored in dirty containers.
Darcy: They said you guys were storing gasoline in the kitchen. Why would that have been?
Brian: Oh, just because the guys, they just working here like probably one day and they didn't know the place to put their stuff so they just kind of messed up a little bit.
There were also potentially hazardous foods in the fridge without date-labels, and old food debris caked on knives and the slicer.
Darcy: They also said you guys were using garbage bags for food storage. What was that all about?
Brian: Oh, just some mistake. We not use the bag for that.
Darcy: You're not doing that anymore?
Brian: Yeah. Not anymore.
At Pho Little Saigon, health inspectors noted a "history of non-compliance and lack of control over risk factors for food-borne illness."
Darcy: Would you mind showing us around the kitchen so we can show that it's clean?
Brian: Right now I cannot let everyone in the kitchen right now.
Darcy: You can't let anyone in the kitchen right now? How come?
Brian: Um, that's our policy right now.
Pho Little Saigon wasn't the only restaurant shut down.
For the second week in a row, a McDonald's restaurant was closed due to an imminent health hazard.
Health inspectors say the McDonald's on East Charleston and Lamb was unable to properly dispose of liquid waste, so sewage was coming up in the parking lot and flowing into the street.
Their overflowing sewage traps brought another problem--excessive flies in the kitchen, food prep and dish-washing areas.
Inspectors say the flies were attracted to the stench.
Pho Little Saigon was closed for almost a week before being re-inspected and re-opening with an A grade.
The McDonald's at Charleston and Lamb remains closed and has not yet scheduled re-inspection.
