Integrative Model of Organizational Trust
Can you help me discuss the integrative model of organizational trust and how it relates to a leader's role in the lives of followers?© BrainMass Inc. brainmass.com August 20, 2018, 2:16 pm ad1c9bdddf

Please find below my research to assist you in responding to your homework.
Thank you for patronizing BrainMass.
The "Integrative Model of Organizational Trust" was developed in 1995 but it is definitely undergoing changes and improvements as the years go by. Human behaviour and other organizational situations change and so does this model which is constantly evolving and transforming to reflect the recent studies.
The issue on levels of analysis has been considered an important issue. There is a rising interest on the importance of multilevel and cross-level perspectives in the area of organizational research. Management has realized that it is essential to learn and understand trust both within and between organizations to lessen methodological problems and to enhance support from people in the organizations. There are three trustworthiness dimensions of which perceptions greatly affect the trust level of an individual as well as in organizations. These are ability, benevolence, and integrity. Ability and benevolence perceptions can determine a trustee's ability to be trusted more than benevolence. Time is needed for an individual to be trusted the same way that there is a need for time in order to give more considerable results to our studies of trust.
Trust is perceived to be the "willingness to take risk" so, the level of trust determines the level of risk one is willing to take. However, several ...

Here is a cake that is scrumptious. I love its texture, the sour cream gives it a density that keeps it on the kitchen bench for up to three days without going crumbly and it doesn't require any icing which is a bonus (one less thing to do) and it's a hardy cake that you can cut slabs to pack in your lunch box.
- 125g room temperature butter
- 1/2 cup (100g) tightly packed dark brown sugar
- 2 free range eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 & 1/2 cups (225g) wholemeal self raising flour
- 200g dark chocolate you can use whole blocks and roughly chop or choc buttons/chips
- 150g sour cream
- Preheat oven to 180C (350F).
- Grease and line a 20cm cake tin.
- Cream butter with sugar until pale and increased in volume (with dark brown sugar you really need to stick at the beating, really grind it on down into the butter, OK?)
- Add eggs, beating between each one.
- Add vanilla and mix through.
- Add sour cream and beat in.
- Fold through flour then fold through chocolate.
- Transfer to the tin and bake 40 – 45 minutes or until browned and a skewer comes out clean.
- Cool in tin before transferring to a rack.
You can totally wrap slices individually and freeze for emergency cake requirements (this is a real thing, it happens.)
You know IF you have any Easter chocolate left or you find yourself gazing longingly at the half price Easter stock… this might be the cake to smuggle it in.
Enjoy, Kx

Nick's Round Table
The members of Nick's Round Table are local teens who want to make a difference in the lives of other teens battling cancer. They fill Nick's Comfort Bags and birthday packs that are given to young adults in the hospital, purchase DVDs and video games for the clinic so kids can be distracted while receiving treatment. They also collect holiday items in December for the clinic's holiday shop and help patients select a gift for themselves and family members. Volunteers join the children in the waiting room and help with arts and crafts, which brings joy to both the teens and the patients. These young adults raise awareness and educate their peers about a cancer diagnosis and help those with cancer get through their journey. This group meets monthly and is open to students in 6th grade through high school, as well as young adults. Meetings are in the Clifton Park area.

Watch how to make this recipe.
Preheat a grill on medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Rub the lamb with the garlic oil on and let marinate for 30 minutes in a large casserole dish at room temperature.
In a medium-sized bowl, add the tomatoes, shallot, jalapeno, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, salt and pepper, to taste.
Add the olive oil, shallots and herbs to a small bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Arrange the lamb on the grill rack. Grill the lamb, covered, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the meat registers 130 degrees F for medium-rare, turning occasionally, about 25 minutes. Remove the lamb to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Thinly slice the lamb.
To assemble, put some of the chimichurri on each pita. Add some lamb and some tomato relish. Top with more chimichurri and wrap in foil or parchment paper to serve.

They have run into each other all summer, at track meets and in hotel lobbies, and though Mike Powell does not speak Spanish and Ivan Pedroso does not speak English, the two long jumpers have built a bond that transcends the unspoken word.
"He's such a nice guy, and that's a problem," Powell said earlier this month after losing to the Cuban in a meet in Lausanne, Switzerland. "I can't get any energy from him, any rage. I can't go grrrrrrrr."
Now, Powell should not lack for motivation. Yesterday, taking advantage of the high altitude and thin air of the Italian Alps, Pedroso broke Powell's four-year-old world record by a quarter-inch, leaping 29 feet 4 3/4 inches on his sixth and final jump at a meet in Sestriere, Italy.
"I expected to break the world record this year," Pedroso, a 22-year-old physical education student from Havana, said in a telephone interview from Sestriere, speaking through a translator. "Today, I was just waiting for the wind. It kept picking up and dying down. I waited for the right moment. I knew I had the record. The only thing I was worried about was the wind."
The wind was well below the allowable limit, and Pedroso became the first non-American to hold the world record since Igor Ter-Ovanesyan of Russia matched Ralph Boston's mark of 27-4 3/4 with an altitude jump at Mexico City in 1967. The Cuban will be heavily favored over the injured and fatigued Powell, Kareem Streete-Thompson and the also-injured Carl Lewis at the world track and field championships, which begin on Friday in Goteborg, Sweden.Continue reading the main story
The long jump record has been one of the most durable of track and field's world standards. Bob Beamon's remarkable leap of 29-2 1/2 at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City advanced the record by nearly two feet and stood unsurpassed for 23 years, until Powell jumped 29-4 1/2 in his epic duel with Lewis at the 1991 world championships in Tokyo.
Sestriere, located at an altitude of 6,726 feet, has been an accommodating meet for the world's top jumpers. Before the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, Powell jumped 29-6 in Sestriere, only to have the mark negated because the wind was over the allowable limit. Powell did not compete yesterday as Pedroso jumped in conditions that would not have been favorable at sea level -- swirling winds, fog and a temperature of 55 degrees.
He fouled on his first jump, then leaped a wind-aided 29-2. On his third attempt, Pedroso fouled again on what would have been his longest jump of the day, and perhaps the longest jump ever.
"It may have been 30 feet," said Wen Yang, who coaches Streete-Thompson, the American who finished third yesterday with a disappointing jump of 26-11.
On his final three jumps, Pedroso leaped 25-7 1/4, 27-2 3/4 and 29-4 3/4, the record coming with an aiding wind of 2.68 miles per hour, under the allowable limit of 4.47 miles per hour. The world indoor champion, Pedroso had a previous best of 28-7 earlier this summer.
The Associated Press reported that someone might have affected the wind gauge by standing close to it while Pedroso was making his record jump, but no official protest was filed. The International Amateur Athletic Federation, track's world governing body, has the final decision in sanctioning any record.
"I don't know anything about that," Pedroso said in the interview. "I was concentrating on my jump."
He spoke highly of Powell, saying that the American was a friend who had given him tips and that he expected tough competition at the world championships. He added, however, that he could jump just as far at sea level, where the world meet will take place. Pedroso pointed to a sea-level jump that was ruled a foul at the Pan American Games in Argentina in March but was later measured at 29-7 1/2.
"I'm just as fast near the sea," Pedroso said. "I have 9 meters in my legs," referring to a 29-6 1/2 jump.
He competes for the Larios Track Club in Madrid, along with Javier Sotomayor, the world record holder in the high jump, as part of a program in which cash-strapped Cuba lets its elite track stars out of the country in return for a large portion of their earnings.
"He's got that young energy; he's anxious to show what he can do," Powell said of Pedroso earlier this month. "I think we are going to push each other very far. I will see his face in my mind when I train."
For setting a record yesterday, Pedroso was awarded a $130,000 Ferrari sports car. Only one problem. He doesn't have a driver's license.
"Don't worry," he said. "I'll get one now."Continue reading the main story

So tell me a little bit about yourself Kim, where are you from and what do you do?
Oooh it feels like Blind Date! I live in Hednesford in Staffordshire with my son Ollie who is nearly 8. I'm Bookouture's publicity and social media manager, I work with a couple of clients on a freelance basis and I have a Swiss premium skincare, make-up and healthcare business (Arbonne). Oh and in my spare time, not that I get much these days, I'm a book blogger! My job with Bookouture is to connect our brilliant books and authors to readers, reviewers and supporters.
What can you tell me about your typical working day, what do you get up to?
I'm an early bird so I'm up around 6am so I can try to get some work done before my son wakes up and it's that hectic hour before going to school. I do check Facebook and Twitter but try very hard to limit my time to messages and mentions and respond and share the things that are necessary. It's so easy to get sucked into social media and hours fly by! Then I check NetGalley to see whether bloggers have requested any of our books, it's important to us to react quickly to requests as most readers are impatient like me and when they want to read a book they want to start it RIGHT NOW!
After the morning school run, I grab a coffee and settle at my desk and get stuck into whatever needs doing at that time. Sometimes, that might be uploading books to NetGalley, preparing for cover reveals, ordering paperback copies for our authors, liaising with bloggers, reviewers and press arranging radio interviews and generally doing anything I can to tell the world about our books. I aim to get as many online reviews as I possibly can, introducing new readers to our books if they've never read one of our authors before, building relationships with new bloggers and keeping our brilliant relationships going with our Twitter and Facebook communities. I try to encourage reviewers to leave reviews on Amazon which is SO important for authors. At some point around 2pm my stomach normally grumbles reminding me I haven't eaten yet today and I try to throw some lunch together.
I cram as much work in as I can before I go to do the school pick-up again, which always seems like five minutes after I've done the drop off. Then I am normally dragged outside somewhere to play football with my footy mad son! I'm quite a good juggler! I have been known to do cover reveals and launches while cooking tea and playing football! Multi-talented!
I aim to keep my authors happy and content at all times and pander to their every whim. And you wouldn't believe some of the riders they have! Such divas! No seriously, MOST of them are no trouble at all! ;-)
It's my job to manage social media for Bookouture so I get to talk to the world on Facebook and Twitter at all times of the day and night.
I'm not a big TV watcher so evenings normally consist of story time for Ollie then I might spend some time booking one-to-one Arbonne consultations, or arranging events to share the products with people who want to learn more about them and the business and talking to my team. Then it's settling down with a good book. I'm not late to bed because I get up early, although when I do get a book I can't put down I can be found reading late into the night.
You are the publicity manager for the wonderful publisher Bookouture, what are they like to work with?
I can honestly hand on heart say that I LOVE working with Bookouture. Olly Rhodes is someone that I learn from every day, he's very wise and he's very patient with my rubbish technical abilities and daft questions! Claire Bord and Keshini Naidoo are so fabulous at spotting amazing talent and polishing stories so they are the best they can be for our readers. And the authors – what can I say! They are all amazing and write such fabulous books. I feel very blessed and at times am very smug!
What is the best bit(s) about your job?
I get to do something that I love every day. What's not to love about that! My job is extremely cool!
Any particular career highlights / fond memories that you would like to share with us?
A few. Some of the authors we've taken on at Bookouture have been people who I've been reading for years. I was introduced to Bookouture through Sue Watson whose first book I reviewed on my blog. I've always been a massive fan and love her to bits!
Louise Douglas for instance is someone who I've admired since I discovered her books. So you can imagine my delight when I was told that we were going to be taking on some of her US books and we'd be working with her. Mel Sherratt, I've known for a while and when the opportunity arose for us to sign her, I thought I'd burst with excitement! Especially when I had to keep the whole Marcie Steele secret to myself! That was worse than when I was having a boy and couldn't tell anyone! And Nigel May is someone I'd worked with as he was self-publishing and when we decided to publish him, I was beside myself!
Milly Johnson is someone whose books I adore! In fact she is the reason I began blogging! If you want to, you can read about that here! The day I met her was a dream come true for me. When I first met Carole Matthews I was so in awe of her as she sat at my table at an event and had a coffee with me. I remember sneakily texting my sister saying "OMG! You'll never guess who I'm drinking coffee with!" I'd devoured every single one of her books and have now met her several times, been for various afternoon teas and to different events, and even been to a party at her house! What a lovely lady! And when another favourite all-time author of mine Belinda Jones invited me to her Sunlounger 2 cocktail party, that was pretty damn cool. And meeting Miranda Dickenson is always pretty cool too as I'm a massive fan and as a fellow Midlander, we have get-togethers too with authors and bloggers that have become really good friends.
And I have so many fond memories of meeting so many bloggers and reviewers who I've talked to on line. When I met Rea from Rea's Book Review last year, it was like meeting a celeb. I bloody love that girl! I love to talk to people about books so getting us bloggers together is awesome!
Is there much you can tell us about the acquisition process for Bookouture?
We invite submissions through the website, and are looking for something really special that we know our readers will love.
We're looking for great writing and great stories that really grip you with characters that you can connect with and don't want to say goodbye to. We're essentially open to most genres with a great story to tell, and an interesting, original voice.
You can find out more on the official Bookouture website HERE
We always hear great things from authors about the relationship they have working with Bookouture. Do you have any thoughts on this from the perspective of a publicity manager?
We have a closed facebook group which is hilarious at times. Being an author is quite a solitary occupation and it's great to have a sounding board to ask questions of, say hi and get a virtual hug if you're feeling a bit lonely, or share something funny that's happened! I try to look after our authors as best as I can, helping them to achieve their goals and keeping them happy. I think (hope) we all have a great relationship and truly want to help each other to succeed. There is no competition between the authors or anyone at HQ, and everyone is extremely genuine. We all want the same things, which is to bring the best books we can to our readers.
Any advice or hints and tips for aspiring authors?
I'm sure it's easy to say but don't be disheartened if your work gets rejected. If you send it to us and we feel it's not right for us, don't give up. Keep writing! Sometimes it's just not right at that particular time. And you can always resubmit to us. It might be the right book at the wrong time or the other way round. I'm a big believer in things being meant to be and they'll happen at some point with the people that they are meant to happen with.
So what's next for Kim Nash?
Oooh that's an interesting question. Short term - I'm VERY excited that we're having a Bookouture meet up next weekend. Quite a few of the authors and the team from HQ are meeting up which will be awesome. And long term, I've always wanted to organise some book events in the Midlands as everything that happens, happens in London and I'd like to see more happening in the middle of the country as I feel that we really miss out.
I'm really looking forward to continuing to share amazing books and fabulous authors with the world and our fabulous team growing even more. And you never know, I might even write a book of my own one day!
The Fun Stuff:
What is your favourite TV show right now?
I don't watch much TV but Right now Devious Maids! Nigel May and I compare notes all the time! I also love Stella but my favourite all time program is Sky 1's Hawaii Five 0. Oh and I'm a massive X-Factor fan too! Sorry!
Who is your ultimate celebrity crush?
Lieutenant Commander Steve McGarrett from Hawaii Five 0 (aka Alex O'Loughlin). I LOVE him! I truly do! One day he will be mine (I may have to write him into a book!)
Who are your favourite authors?
As mentioned above, Carole Matthews, Milly Johnson, Louise Douglas but since I've been blogging and involved in books I've discovered so many more than I could possibly mention. Amanda Prowse makes me cry every time, and of course I'm so very proud of every single one of our Bookouture authors and count my blessings every day that I get to read their magnificent work and share their books!
What are you reading right now?
Right now I'm reading Letting You Know by Anouska Knight. It's very powerful.
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions Kim. As always you are a superstar.

Family therapy is indispensable when it comes to family challenges and dealing with teenagers. Teenage issues can be difficult for parents to navigate. The dynamics in a family are complex and many parents and children feel overwhelmed by the conflicting emotions and negative feelings that they are experiencing and they don't know how to constructively communicate with each other. Often they have conflicting goals for themselves and each other. These conflicts can tug and tear at a family until it feels like everything is coming apart and going out of control.
When a parent hears comments from their children such as "I hate you!" and "You can't make me!" and even "F― you!" it can be devastating. These types of comments are often from a defiant child with Oppositional Defiant Disorders (ODD). All children have their moments of being oppositional ― it would be best for the child to be diagnosed by a trained therapist to be sure this is the problem.
According to the American Mental Health Counselors Association (AMHCA), "ODD is more often found in families where one parent has a diagnosed mood disorder, substance abuse, attention deficit disorder (ADD), or an antisocial personality disorder." AMHCA goes on to say … these children are hostile, have difficulty with authority figures, and are disobedient to a fault. They are craving control, blame others and seek negative attention. They are often angry, resentful, touchy, and easily annoyed by others. ODD occurs more often in boys than girls and typically shows up at around age 8. This disorder is more than simply an expression of anger, and should be treated by a caring professional. Parents of these children need help in how to parent a child exhibiting oppositional defiance.
Other teenage issues that are negatively affecting families center on the use of drugs and alcohol. When a child is abusing substances, it can make it even more difficult to reach them. One of the signs to look for is failing grades, changes in appetite and sleep patterns, declining physical appearance or grooming. Drug and alcohol dependency can be caused for a number of reasons. Addiction is a complicated disorder and a trained therapist can be instrumental in getting your child on the road to recovery.
Cutting and self-injury is a way for some teens to cope with painful memories and situations. Having your child talk with a professional counselor to understand why they self-harm is an important step to finding better methods to manage their emotional conflicts.
Teen Suicide is a huge problem in today's world and teens have become increasing violent in their attempts. Although the causes of teen suicide are many and varied, the increase can be linked to changes in our society: school and cyber bullying is at epidemic proportions, parents are separating and divorcing in increasing numbers, the burdens of single parenting, step-family issues, the demands on two-career families, and ironically the increasing mobile world all make attempts at real communication difficult and exhausting.
Strong family ties and open dialog is the best method to keep the lines open. Every family is different and has different styles of communication, but all can benefit from learning to respect each other and listening to the other family members' concerns.
Spending enough time with your kids and staying involved with their life in a balanced way is the most successful approach to a healthy relationship with your child. Simply having regular sit-down dinners with your family can not only improve your relationship with your child, but your spouse or partner as well.
Discipline is a balancing act and is not the same as punishment. Using experiences as a teaching tool for learning consequences is much more effective in your child's personal growth. Setting reasonable rules and boundaries, being patient and flexible, negotiating fairly, picking your battles and encouraging your child to express his or her true feelings are all techniques that can be learned by a trained professional therapist.
Call and talk with a child behavioral therapist at Montville Counseling Center ― take advantage of a free 15 minutes consultation to put your mind at ease and start building the bridges to get your family on the road to a healthy relationship.

The Best Of (The Millennium Collection) – Glenn Frey
The Best Of (The Millennium Collection)
(2000), 3/10
I always held the impression that Glenn Frey supplied the Eagles' tunefulness and the bulk of their limited country authenticity, but it turns out that his solo career is 1980s' corporate mush. Frey liberally throws in drum machines, saxophones, female backing vocals, and percussionists to perfectly meet the specifications for 1980s' soft-rock. The live 'The One You Love' features three guitarists, two keyboardists, two percussionists and a horn section, while 'Love in the 21st Century' blatantly steals the riff from Creedence Clearwater Revival's 'Fortunate Son'. The only time that Frey ventures near country rock, on 'Part Of Me, Part Of You', is tolerable, even though that song spoiled the end of Thelma and Louise.
The music's bad, but so are the lyrics; brain-dead efforts like 'True Love' and 'The One You Love', are respectable next to 'Sexy Girl' and 'The Allnighter'. If lyrics like "I know you're just a woman, I'm just a man/Let's be true to each other, do the best we can" are below the intellectual level of a boy band, "She needs a love from a real exciter/she needs the allnighter" are off the scale. The Best Of is saved from total worthlessness with some nice vocals ('The One You Love'), and the occasional passable song (the relatively compelling 'You Belong to the City' from Miami Vice, or 'Part Of Me, Part Of You'). But The Best Of is a compelling case for Don Henley possessing most of the intelligence behind the Eagles. In his solo spotlight Frey merely displays occasional melodic flair.
Apparently this compilation is actually successful at collecting the best material from Frey's solo albums, so I wouldn't be touching them with a barge-pole.

The current architecture of Zanzibar's Stone Town strongly reflects it's Arabic, Indian and Persian Heritage, dated back to the 19th Century. The huge wooden carved doors are Stone Town's most attractive feature; they were mostly made in Indian and Arabic styles by Indian and Arabic labor, and installed back in the Omani ruling era. Often the door was built before the building, which will then be built around it.
We passed by this gorgeous Green door during a walking tour of the town last summer, I noticed a lot of Arabic writing on the shops, houses and even hotels which generated a strong connection in me with the place.
Wakf (or Waqf) is Arabic for endowment, which is a form of charity practiced by Muslims, where typically a building, certain amount cash or even a piece of land would be donated for public good, or for the long term benefit of those who need it the most.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend and until next Friday….

Ultramundum Foundation is producing, in collaboration with SOFIHA
collaudi srl and Vision srl, the virtual model (P.I.D) of the city of Rome.
The model offers a free 3D interactive exploration of the whole 500.000
buildings of the city and of 30 monumental areas like the Colosseum, the Trevi fountain,
Piazza di Spagna, the Capitoline hill and many others.
A first product is alredy distributed to the public: the ROME ultravision 4D DVD, a first version of the
model with 15 monumental areas, installable from a DVD that can be sent like a postcard.
Until today, only portions of cities or small towns have been modelled
with technologies like the one used, due to the prohibitively huge amount of data to
process to generate a three-dimensional model of an area with hundreds of thousands of
buildings, like the one of Rome.
The Rome city PID allows for exploration on a standard personal computer
with a modern video card. Esoteric hardware is not necessary.
Thanks to the patented UltraPeg technology, the Rome PID offers an
interactive fly on all the city and allows for a descent to ground level in any street to
walk among the buildings. Getting altitude the speed increases accordingly to allow for an
exploration experience easy and really natural.
Every city building is present, with a prism precisely defining the
ground perimeter and height. In this way the volume is perfectly modelled. The roof and
facade are created by so-called 'staminal Tabulae', capable of procedurally generating
complex 3D models and texturing.
In this first step, precise models with high realism of 30 important
city monumental areas have been inserted. In the second phase, each building will be
modelled in every detail.
Many other uses are possible and will be presented, with applications in
the fields of projects making and planning, of tourism, of study and promotion of the city
The PID is not a closed software, but a platform that can be used in
many different fields and can be expanded and modified at will.
Any Tabula, the data structure at the root of Ultramundum Foundation's
UltraPeg technology, can hold multiple data types. For the Rome city model, informations
on buildings positions, root maps, monumental areas placements and specific schematics
have been imported from Autocad files and other databases.
The Autocad file importer, called UltraTools, allows for fast and almost
automatic acquisition of public databases, converted in a very short time to
three-dimensional elements. All these data can then be explored in real-time.
The Foundation can arrange interactive demonstrations on request,
because this product can not be freely distributed yet.

Review by:
Dar Mil
on March 01, 2015 :
This was a delightfully different kind of story. Beyond this, I plead ignorance. I haven't heard of the deities mentioned in the story. I assume this was a world and goddess that emerge from the author's imagination, yet I think I could bow to the higher being who shows miracles of kindness.
As the title suggests the story takes place in a desert land. Other than that I can't say I know where in our world or when it may have happened. Still this couple is pregnant. It's wanted but if both parties are lesbian, how and with whom had the mother conceived?
Now, I admit to loving this story more than other short stories by Sophia DeLuna. Still I beg, plead! Please tell more! This could not only be a book. It could be a series! I loved it!

Arizona has much greater potential for job creation than it currently realizes. The state legislature's tired approach to economic development is just to race to the bottom: cutting taxes for specific industries while undermining the many other elements that could attract businesses to Arizona.
Ken worked in business attraction as the Director of the State Energy Office. He heard many times when speaking to companies considering a move to Arizona that, even if the state handed out more tax credits for their industry, company owners did not believe they could find the skilled workforce that they needed. Further, they did not trust that the more ideological elements of the Arizona legislature could be trusted to make consistent public policy.
If Arizona doesn't do a better job of educating its work force, future state revenue will drop as new generations earn even less income, thus creating a self-fulfilling prophesy of economic stagnation. A reduction in per capita income of less than one percent will result in more than a 4 percent reduction in per capita state revenue. (1)
Ken will:
Fight to support Career and Technical Education in order to build a stronger, highly-tailored workforce.
Support changes to the state procurement standards to recognize the economic benefits of "buying locally". For every $100 spent with a locally-owned business, about $42 stay in the state to contribute to further job growth. That same money spent outside of Arizona contributes only $13 to our state's economy.(2)
Reform the Arizona tax code to result in a broader tax base. Arizona has been moving toward a more regressive, sales tax preference for decades. Arizona can lower the tax burden on the middle class while re-balancing the three legs of its tax revenue system.
Build an alliance to create a single state-wide policy for the creation of Tax Increment Financing, which allows cities and towns to focus economic development geographically.

All well-respected and successful attorneys have at least one skill in common: the ability to maintain strong client relationships. An attorney's ability to build and sustain solid client relationships is directly correlated to that attorney's overall success in his or her practice of law; whether that individual works in the private or public sector, an international law firm or a small nonprofit. However, for those attorneys who graduate law school without substantial networking experience or family ties to previously established business connections, the notion of developing client relations may bring about insecurities and discomfort. But young attorneys should not let this apprehension stand in the way of their success. There are a number of simple, inherent skills that all young lawyers possess that will help them start off on the right foot with any unfamiliar client.
• Start with the basics: who, what, where, when and why?
Do not be shy during the initial client meeting or interview. New attorneys can make a meaningful impression on their clients by confidentially introducing themselves with a brief summary of their knowledge and involvement of the matter at hand. Then, the attorney should get to know more about the client and what legal services they may need. To illustrate, if a client manufactures a particular product and they are looking to bring a lawsuit against a former employee for violating a confidentiality agreement regarding trade secrets, it would be prudent for the attorney to obtain information about the products manufactured by that client, as well as the details of when and how the client believes that the confidentiality agreement was violated. As long as the young attorney has come prepared to the client meeting having done his research and reviewed any available background materials, the attorney should not be afraid to ask questions to clarify the facts and the issues at hand. These questions will show the client that you are engaged, eager to learn, and making valuable use of your client's time and resources.
• Communication is key: do not underestimate the power of a telephone call.
Despite hectic schedules and the convenience of technology, telephone communication remains a key aspect of building and sustaining a positive rapport with clients. It is commonplace for many lawyers to rely heavily on email, or even text messages to communicate with their clients. However, this practice is not always the best way to communicate or to make a lasting impression on a client. Emails are impersonal. For young attorneys especially, it is important for the clients to be able to associate a face, or voice to a name, rather than just words on a screen, in order to get to build a lasting relationship. While most matters will not require daily or even weekly calls between attorneys and their clients, telephone discussions may be more effective than emails when communicating significant developments on a particular matter. A telephone conference may be preferred over email in those instances because the attorney will have the client's full attention, they will be able to communicate more freely with one another, and a telephone discussion will lead to a more productive, in-depth conversation than you might otherwise conduct in piecemeal format over email. Attorneys who conduct regularly scheduled telephone conferences, or who call clients to provide significant updates, will not only keep the client well-informed, and help young attorneys stay organized, but will also foster the attorney-client relationship.
• Set reasonable expectations: never make promises you cannot keep.
Inexperienced attorneys may be tempted to agree with everything that a client says in order to please that client or win their approval. Young attorneys should be mindful, however, that a client may not do or say the right thing at all times, and supporting a flawed position could damage your relationship with the client if taking that position has negative legal ramifications. It is more important to provide sound and realistic advice to your client, than to be a "yes man" who agrees for the sake of agreement. An attorney is responsible for detecting a client's blind-spot, bringing those potential weaknesses to light and formulating a path to remedy any legal issues. Attorneys who neglect these duties perform a disservice to their clients, which may also result in incurring avoidable costs and legal fees. Instead, the attorney should set realistic expectations for their clients. In that regard, counsel should typically avoid using the terms "guarantee," "always," and "never," to describe the outcome of any legal proceeding. The legislature, judges, adversaries, and people in general are unpredictable. Attorneys should advise their clients of any uncertainties related to their case, highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each applicable legal strategy, and then let the client make an informed decision based on the information available. This practice will help clients maintain perspective on all possible outcomes, including best and worst-case scenarios. Attorneys who learn to set reasonable expectations and communicate honestly with their clients from the beginning will fare better over time and are more likely to gain their client's trust. •

NFMT 2019 Event Information
The NFMT Story
The National Facilities Management and Technology Conference & Exposition (NFMT) was launched in 2001 by the publishers of Building Operating Management and Facility Maintenance Decisions magazines. The goal was to bring free education, networking and product discovery to facilities professionals nationwide. NFMT continues the tradition in 2018 by offering broad-based education for facilities professionals from every type of organization: government, education, commercial office healthcare, retail, hospitality and industrial.
Great educational seminars, ability to learn from other FM organizations, learn about new products and ability to network with product suppliers and other FM people.
— Clyde Messerly,
Assistant Director for Facilities Design and Construction, NIST
NFMT is held at the Baltimore Convention Center, One West Pratt Street, in the city's Inner Harbor. Baltimore's Inner Harbor is a hub of activity with a beautiful waterfront, loads of attractions, restaurants, pubs, hotels and shops.

Join the discussion on the advantages of selecting a SPF roofing solution. It offers excellent retrofit applications, reducing the need to tear-off much of the existing roof. This system increases R-value, and reduces installation and maintenance costs, while being renewable and resistant against hurricanes and mechanical damage.
Please join us at this Solutions Exchange event to learn how a DC Building Grid can improve the integration of renewable energy resources, electrical loads and power infrastructure within commercial buildings, creating a new level of energy efficiency, resilience and intelligence.
Discuss the use of Monitoring Based Commissioning and Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) in your organization: What is your organization's approach on equipment and process optimization for energy and maintenance? What do you think of when you hear the term Monitoring Based Commissioning? Let's discuss how MCBx and FDD could help with current energy and operational challenges that you face.
Help people understand how sustainability has moved from 'Best Practice' to 'Standard Practice.'
What are the considerations to keep in mind when deciding whether or not to bring your drain cleaning and pipe inspection operations in-house? This discussion will guide those new to the subject into a simple logical process for making the right decision. Participants will find this discussion to be fun, informative and practical!
In September 2017, an extensive market survey identified 19 facility management knowledge areas and 5 cross-functional competencies that are critical to facility professionals around the world today. Join us to talk about how FM roles and responsibilities are growing and how you can elevate your knowledge to this new standard
At this table, we will discuss 1) Understanding the changing facilities environment 2) Identify and working with a supplier, 3) Identifying reliable and long-lasting vehicles and 4) Getting get the most from your sales professional.
Should your facility peak shave or participate in demand response? Both can be quite effective (and lucrative), but determining which strategy is best for your business requires thoughtful assessment of your operational flexibility, capacity pricing, and market rules. Join EnerNOC for a discussion on the factors you should be considering.
92% of organizations have experienced an energy failure in the past year, and over a quarter admit that unfamiliarity with available options is a roadblock to future-proofing their business. But with the right strategy, organizations can protect against catastrophic events while improving commercial performance and unlocking new sources of value.
Learn the difference between the 5 different grades of the modern back up battery and why using the wrong battery could break your budget and your equipment.
Join us to discuss how smart building data is transforming the ability to manage costs, meet sustainability targets, and role of facilities management.

We will tackle real-life examples and discuss your specific situation and opportunities.

You'll earn 0.1 CEU per hour and you'll receive a transcript after you successfully complete a quick assessment for each session. The link for the assessments will be emailed 10 days after the conference. Your transcript can be used to self-report to any organization or association. We cannot guarantee acceptance as it is up to each organization or association to accept the transcript. Click here for more information on CEUs.
Are there special hotel rates for NFMT and SBIC?
We have reserved an exclusive room block of discounted rates at 6 different hotels — all within walking distance of the Convention Center. Rooms are available on a first come, first served basis, so please book your hotel the moment you register for the conference.
How do I book a hotel for NFMT?
Check out our housing page to book a hotel through our housing vendor. In addition, when you register for NFMT and SBIC, you will receive a confirmation email with details on how to reserve your hotel room as well.
What weather should I expect?
Baltimore is a great place to visit during any season. The city in late March is beautiful. Plan for daytime temperatures in the upper 50s and nighttime temperatures in the low 40s.
What is the suggested attire at NFMT?
We recommend business casual. You may want to bring a sweater or sport coat, as session rooms can sometimes get a bit chilly. The expo hall is big so plan to wear comfortable shoes. We also offer coat and bag check for all attendees.
Does the Baltimore Convention Center offer parking?
The Baltimore Convention Center does not have parking. However parking is available adjacent to the Convention Center at Camden Yards, Lot C. We do offer a free shuttle service from the Camden Yards - Lot C parking lot to the Pratt Street entrance of the convention center. In addition, there are a number of affordable parking options located throughout Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Click here for complete parking information.
How can I stay up to date about NFMT and SBIC before and during the event?
We will automatically send you show updates a few months before the show. In addition, join our Facebook page, and promote the #NFMT18 and #SBIC18 hashtags on social media.
I have specific questions that are not addressed here. Who can help me?
Call us at 414-228-7701 ext 339. We'll be happy to help you out.
NFMT is a way to interact with FM's both young and seasoned to get the best of both worlds.

Welcome to the wonderful world
of English Bulldogs
Simpson Creek Bulldogs is located in Southeastern Missouri. We are a small breeder and have only a few litters each year. All of our puppies are raised in our home.
We are Ron and Debbie Payne. We live in Doniphan, Missouri, which is located in Southeast Missouri in the Ozark foothills. We have 17 years of experience as
English bulldog puppy breeders
. We raise AKC registered puppies that are bred for conformation, health, temperament, and quality.
Our puppies are raised in our home and are cherished as a family member would be. We promise to provide not only healthy puppy but also a well socialized puppy that will become a treasure to your home. That this relationship between home and its new, furry addition is continued is very important to us. We hope to ensure that we are providing
AKC bulldogs
to families that are a good fit.
We ship within the United States, adhering to USDA rules and regulations at all times. A puppy can be arranged to be delivered to the buyer if the buyer cannot arrange to pick up the puppy personally due to distance of travel. Deliveries can be arranged by vehicle or to the nearest major airport.
Our puppies are checked by our veterinarian and issued health certificates before going to their new home. To set your mind at ease, all of our English bulldogs and puppies for sale in Missouri will be current on all vaccinations.

We have the pleasure to deal with many wonderful people in both buying and selling bulldogs and we offer top quality puppies at a price that the hard working family can afford. This is not how we make our living, it is a passion and hobby that we both love and cherish, therefore we can offer these bundles of love and joy to great people that are competitively priced.
