text: Reduced working hours is a well-debated subject, both politically as well as within business contexts. In this qualitative study we have chosen to research change in work processes when reduced working hours is implemented. The following research question was phrased: how can an organization change its work processes in order to increase productivity when implementing reduced working hours? In order to answer the question, we conducted a case study on a small, local recruiting and staffing company that has implemented a six-hour working day. All six members of the organization were interviewed and from the empirical material, we identified two main areas that have been of importance; organizational culture and communication. We have reached the conclusion that both a strong organizational culture and well-functioning communication, primarily internal, is necessary in order to successfully implement reduced working hours. We have also reached the following conclusions, which answers our research question; time spent on unnecessary, non-working related tasks, has to be eliminated; communication has to be conducted in a time efficient manner, preferably by using digital tools; meetings has to be audited and revised in order to make sure they are efficient.

Oh Rose it is so beautiful and I understand what you mean by in calling to the child within us. We seldom get any snow and January is the month when we would get any. Alas January is gone by already. Now I am ready for Spring not snow---well maybe a smidge.
Beautiful images.

Packing snow! Perfect for a snowball fight.
Our snow from the same weather system was mostly wet and then it turned to rain. Sadly, no sledding and no snowballs fights for us today.

It is a pretty snowfall. When I was kid in Georgia, we loved to play in the snow and mama would make us wear Colonial bread bags over our shoes to keep from getting wet!

In Northern Indiana we were supposed to have rain that changed to snow. Never got a drop...it was snow from the get go. Lots of wind made it a Blizzard that is still going strong. Some areas up here got 16 inches. I think we might have 8-10. There is not one iota of child left in me that likes the snow, lol. But 40 degree weather on Monday will bring the mud, which I hate, but not as much as snow!1

The truth about Oklahoma's public education system and why it cannot be fixed from within.OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (July 25, 2017) – The 1889 Institute, an Oklahoma state policy think tank, has published "archived," a compilation of historical and current Oklahoma and national public education statistics as well as a short history of public education in the United States, in an effort to counter some of the mythology that has arisen around public education. "This paper simply looks at statistics and history objectively, which leads to basic, inevitable conclusions," said Byron Schlomach, the study's author and Director of the 1889 Institute. Schlomach has a long history of involvement in education policy going back to 1994.
A few of the statistics include:Some points from the history section include:
- From 1950 to 2000, real spending per student rose 200 percent; real teacher salaries rose 33 percent.
- Today, fewer than half of Oklahoma's public school employees (>84,000) are teachers (41,047).
- 40 percent of Oklahoma high school graduates who attend college must take remediation classes due to inadequate high-school preparation.
- In 2017, only 16 percent of Oklahoma's high school seniors were college-ready on all four of ACT's benchmarks while 42 percent of seniors did not meet a single college-ready benchmark.
- Oklahoma is one of a handful of states formula-funding pre-K for all comers; only Vermont and Florida serve a higher percentage of their 4-year-old populations in public schools.
- Oklahoma's 4th-grade National Assessment of Educational Progress results have shown no improvement since the advent of universal pre-K. The 2015 score improvement was wiped out in 2017.
- If Oklahoma halved its pre-K program, there would be $200 more to spend on each remaining student.
- The story of public education has been one of constant cycling through re-packaged pedagogical fads, mission creep, and frustrated efforts at reform, all accompanied by spending increases.
- The education model Jefferson proposed is most akin to a fully "charterized" school system with parent-governed schools, but with parents substantially funding them.
- The degree to which Americans are literate today cannot be attributed to the existence of a centralized public education system.
- The roots of the current U.S. education system can be traced to Prussia, the leading state of Germany.
- John Dewey turned the education system toward its Prussian roots of molding society.
- Schools have become centers of social experimentation, social work, community health, entertainment, child care, transportation, and nutrition.
- The system has been shamed, prodded, threatened, begged, encouraged, asked, sued, pandered to, and bribed.
- School Choice gives parents the ability to choose good schools with good teachers.
About the 1889 Institute The 1889 Institute is an Oklahoma think tank committed to independent, principled state policy fostering limited and responsible government, free enterprise and a robust civil society. The publication, "Straight Talk on Public Education," can be found on the nonprofit's website at archived.

Cash for keys after Bankruptcy and Foreclosure
June 24, 2010 Leave a comment
If you have been in foreclosure before the bankruptcy then after you file and get the bankruptcy discharge your house could be sold at a foreclosure sale. (Sometimes it happens before the discharge if the lender gets the bankruptcy stay lifted). When the house is finally sold you will be contacted by the new owner who is usually the mortgage holder. They will then ask you when you will leave.
At this point you need to enter into negotiations with them. Be sure to tell them that you need rent money to rent a new place and you need moving money. Remember, it is expensive to evict you. They cannot throw you on the street. They would have to give you a 3 day notice and then hire an attorney and file an eviction. They would then have to go to Unlawful Detainer court and get a judgment and then a Sheriff to remove you. All of that takes money and time. You might not be out for another 2 months by that formula and then they would be out filing and attorney fees.
It is better for them and you if they negotiate a "cash for keys" where you leave in a reasonable time and they give you cash for it. Get as much as you reasonable can. I have heard stories of around $3000 sometimes for some lenders. Negotiate with them and get the money and then move out. After all it was your home and you should get something as you leave out the door!

The Dortmund fuzz rock band DAILY THOMPSON has developed a real underground hype in the last few years. They played dozens of concerts all over Europe, their records and merch sold like hot cakes. Now it is time for the next step. MIG Music is not only happy to present you the predecessor albums "Daily Thompson" and "Boring Nation" for the first time digital, we will also release the new studio album "Thirsty" on CD, 2LP and digital on 09.11.2018.
We welcome Daily Thompson to MIG and look forward to a successful collaboration.
DAILY THOMPSON is ready to take off from their home base Dortmund once again! Influences from grunge, garage and indie rock work together for a completely overdriven, extremely fuzzy Bigmuff. Their sound is rich in noise, indie-blues and stoner-rock. With the Daily Thompson's usual fuzz, wah-wah and distortion attacks, they now make the engines howl.
Even after a full year in fast-forward-mode, Daily Thompson doesn't seem to get tired. New songs were written, recorded and the third album 'Thirsty' will see the day of light on November 9th. Especially for the album, the band has said goodbye to the heavy tour routine for three months. No shows, no festivals, just writing, playing, discarding and reworking songs. Extensive jams and the complete let-go of genre-typical riffs have paid off: Daily Thompson's new program is diverse and also contains some novelties. Bass-player Mercedes Lalakakis for instance sings a solo part on 'Roots' and doesn't only support front-singer Danny Zaremba with backing vocals as usual. With songs like 'Nowhere', 'Brown Mountain Lights' and last but not least 'Stone Rose', the band also has some serious hits to offer. Stefan Mengel finally completes the band at the drums.
The trio has spent the last three years on the road. Back in the days, one used to wake up between beer cans and other trash but times changed and staying the night in hotels does not conflict with being authentic at all. In fact, Daily Thompson have already proven themselves as a certificated rock sensation during countless shows, including festivals such as the WDR Rockpalast, Crossroads Festival, Reeperbahn Festival, Orange Blossom, Special Festival or Krach Am Bach. Stages were shared with bands from the likes of Earthless, Mustasch, Nebula, Truckfighters and many more.
Although the band is constantly on tour, they simultaneously release singles and albums like the self-titled debut album in 2014. One year later, they put out the split 7″-vinyl 'Spit Out The Crap' together with the US band Mos Generator and in 2016 the band released their second album 'Boring Nation'. Plus, they celebrated the release of the split 7″-vinyl 'River Haze' at Reeperbahn Festival in 2017.
Their new album 'Thirsty' was now signed by MIG Music under the sublabel Hänsel & Gretel, will be released at November 09th and is followed by an extensive European tour!

Senator Trillanes and Gen. Danny Lim declared a "withdrawal of support" from the Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo administration and has called on the armed forces and the people to do likewise. An Oakwood-type drama was conducted in the Manila Peninsula Hotel in Makati. It failed after six hours when the government forces assaulted the hotel and those inside surrendered. The rest are on the run and the government is running after them. The situation has returned to "normal" and the president is off to Europe. All's well that ends well?
Oakwood has now come a full circle. However, the political context of the present Manila Pen is different than the one in 2003. Then, GMA was at the height of her power, with a comfortable positive public opinion, the support of the majority of the middle class, and with considerable international goodwill. Now, she is facing an increasingly lameduck presidency, a deep distrust of her government among significant sectors, including the middle class, and buffeted by accusations of human rights violations abroad.
The country has entered the period of the transition to the post-GMA political situation. The immediate struggle revolves around the question of who will manage this transition. Logically in our democracy, the president–holding the reins of power–presides over this transition. However, in GMA's case, this is forfeit because of her political weaknesses.
The Manila Pen incident follows closely on the heels of dramatic and violent events such as the Batasan bombing. A case can be made that incidents such as these fit into the present context of the political transition. Including nonviolent political events such as the LP and NP mediamatic non-proclamation of presidential candidacies, these collectively affirm that relevant political forces in the Philippines are on the march and are staking out their various positions.
I do not think the Manila Pen incident itself meant the end of the military rebels' own plans; it may be the beginning. However, a much more interesting possibility is the use of their movement for political maneuvering vis-a-vis the contest for the role of transition manager.
On hindsight, what Senator Trillanes and company did in Manila Pen was either a stupid and unrealistic bid for a people-powered downfall of the GMA administration or a brilliant probing attack in a much more complicated strategy. There were simply many disconnects in the event that prevented the achievement of the announced objective to topple the current power in Malacañang. Firstly, there was no evident pre-synchronization of various potential or actual sympathetic forces. Secondly, there was no provision–either in warm bodies or logistics–for a long-drawn siege. It seems, they want to end the drama as it actually did–when the government forces started its counterattack in earnest. Thirdly, there were no observable mobilization of sympathetic military forces beyond the small group that accompanied Senator Trillanes to the Manila Pen. AFP chief of staff Hermogenes Esperon's assertion of having prevented this from happening cannot simply be be taken at face value given the extent of discontent and ferment in the camps (as shown in the Trillanes protest vote in the last elections).
What the Manila Pen incident accomplished is to underscore the vulnerability of Malacañang and its unavoidable dependence on the support of the armed forces. Its initial reaction to the incident had been an ostensibly panicky one with a wide-ranging set of tactics that included the arrest of aging vice-president Guingona and retired bishop Labayen, as well as the arrest of covering press people, a dramatic and violent–if uncalled for–assault on Manila Pen, and a blanket curfew. These latter tactics immediately drew condemnations from the middle class, business and tourist community, the Catholic church and the mass media. They can only exacerbate the isolation of the GMA administration.
Its very political survival is now held hostage by the military sector. If a "God save the Queen" scenario is the one in the works, Manila Pen put the last pieces in position for a decisive move.

Review of 2015 Bury Hill Trip
This year's trip to Bury Hill for the tench day took place on Sunday 17th May. The venue now operates a little differently to previous years, in that only 4 of the punts are available at weekends and fishing from them is restricted to the swims known as the 'jungle'. For this reason the VAC party was reduced in size to get the banter going, but on the positive side less pressure is put on these popular swims, known to be regularly patrolled by the lake's tench and carp population. All places were eventually available to the wider membership with VAC member Andy Childs leading the group. Andy had been on previous trips to the venue and was keen to get back among the fish but with this year's cold spring it was not necessarily going to be easy. That said, a number of tench up to 7lb were netted, the largest falling to Steve Longley, together with bream, a 1lb 8oz roach and a splendid 2lb 2oz crucian for Bill Chambers. See photos below.
Look out for details of more trips being planned by the Events Committee.

I don't even need to look for weird shit anymore; it comes to me.
I have no idea if this blog is serious, but it did attack Miley Cyrus and then link to random blogs on every line of a song. I'm the "From Disney she was sold", and the link is to the
poorly-lit bald guy REPTILIAN post from earlier. Every other link seems to be to a real conspiracy blog. My guess: Googling "conspiracy theory" without actually checking what appeared.
This blog's most used tags include "erotica" and seems to mostly be fiction and whatever the fuck this is. I'm just…what is this, and what does it have to do with me?

It has certainly turned chilly the last couple of days. Snow is forecast over the weekend and as much as I love the 'picture postcard' image of snow the reality is somewhat different!
Grocery shopping was done this morning so if we do get snow at least we don't have to venture out for bread and milk. We normally shop at Asda as we have a small store about 10 mins walk away but I wanted to try Lidl as they had offers on their fruit and veg today.
I managed to get 5kg of onions for £1.99 and a box of tangerines for £2.59 so I am a happy bunny this afternoon. The onions will keep us going for quite a while and if they start to turn I will chop and freeze them.
Tangerines I love, so they won't last long!
This afternoon has been spent working on some bootie orders which are now ready for posting out on Monday morning. I now feel like knitting socks so I will cast on a babies pair later to feed my 'sock addiction'
Sweet and Sour Chicken is what I am planning on cooking for tea and after our evening stroll hubby and I are planning on either a night of Scrabble or a movie. We have a couple of DVD's from Christmas which we have yet to watch.
Happy times x
