Use a lawn aerator to rake out dead, brown grass that chokes the lawn. You can compost this, or if its mostly moss, use it for lining your winter hanging baskets. To rid the lawn of moss, improve the growing conditions. A badly drained lawn will be the worst affected, but a well- trodden surface will also invite moss to spread.

WHAT IS CORPORATE EDUCATION?This report discusses the extensive education and training programs established and run by corporations and other organizations, largely profitmaking enterprises whose primary purpose is something other than education, in the context of traditional higher education. As used in this report, “corporate education” is education offered by a business or industry for its own employees.HOW EXTENSIVE IS CORPORATE EDUCATION?Corporate education is an extensive, multifaceted endeavor, costing billions of dollars, educating millions of people, and absorbing many working hours annually.It is estimated, for example, that approximately $30 billion to $50 billion is spent on formal employee education and $180 billion on informal, on-the-job, education. Employees in companies with 500 or more employees–4.4 million people–can expect to receive frequent instruction paid for and provided by their employers.IS CORPORATE EDUCATION A THREAT TO HIGHER EDUCATION?As colleges and universities strive to respond to the needs of nontraditional students, they often find that corporate educators have preceded them. Corporations, with the assistance of the American Council on Education and the New York Board of Regents, have had their courses evaluated, frequently leading to the granting of credit for corporate coursework by colleges and universities.Courses offered by corporations range from remedial to postgraduate level management and technical courses. Corporations have even founded their own colleges, known as “corporate colleges.” These educational efforts potentially could threaten the health, and devalue the worth of, higher education, but in fact, corporate education is compatible with–indeed complements–traditional higher education. Higher education in the United States has been responsive to the needs of the workplace since the beginning of the federal period. The prevailing dialogue in higher education has long been the weighing of tradeoffs–practically and philosophically–between general education and what now is called “career education.” The formal recognition of instruction independent of the providers is a multifaceted and complex enterprise on the postsecondary education scene in and of itself. These efforts have accomplished two things. First, the structural conformity of noncollegiate instruction with collegiate instruction (for example, associating credit hours with contact hours) facilitates transfers and students mobility and opens up an array of potential cooperative efforts between businesses and colleges. Second, they have served as a major channel of communication between school and corporation about educational content and methods. This report presents the interaction between corporate education and these recognition processes, a path by which noncollegiate education can wend its way into the most traditional patterns of higher education. Innovations find their way into higher education in five ways, one of which is when external institutions appear on the scene to challenge, titillate, and/or draw attention to significant issues.The emergence of corporate education with its interest in formal recognition offers opportunities and challenges to higher education in the way it teaches, the students it seeks, and the perception of the purposes of education. The growth of corporate education is a stimulus to both internal collegiate debates and public policy decision making.WHAT CAN BE EXPECTED FROM THE PROLIFERATION OF CORPORATE EDUCATION?Many profitable educational ventures have been initiated that were provoked by employers recognition of their responsibility for developing their employees. The American University, for example, using its own faculty, offers an MS in toxicology at Litton Industries, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology cooperates in an education program with IBM and Digital Equipment. An indirect benefit to colleges resulting from an increased awareness of conditions in higher education on the part of business and industry has been the use of modern technology by colleges and universities to educates future employees. And a national discussion on the role of colleges and universities in American society has been stimulated by heightened awareness of shared national needs.
Topics covered include school management, policy, curriculum, and legislation on education for school superintendents and central office administrators of public schools

The Cause: Today, it is a known medical fact that hair loss is not due to poor circulation, lack of nutrition, or clogged hair follicles. In 95% of cases, hair loss is due to a genetic sensitivity of the hair follicles to a normal body hormone called Dihydrotestorone or DHT. This condition is known as Androgenetic Alopecia or “Male and Female Pattern Hair Loss”. We normally loose about 100 to 200 hair a day as a part of hairs normal growth and renewal cycle. Under the suppressive effects of DHT, the rate of hair loss increases and the hair follicles produce shorter and thinner hairs. Eventually the hair follicle dies and the hair is permanently lost. Treatments: There are no cures for hair loss but its progress can be stopped and its effects reversed to some extent. Currently there are two available medications for treatment of hair loss. Propecia[R] is a medication available by prescription for men only. It works by inhibiting the enzyme that produces DHT, preventing its destructive effect on the hair follicle. Rogaine[R] is a Topical formula and works by stimulating the hair follicle and keeping it in the growth phase.

SafeAuto Insurance Company
offers drivers five tips to save money on car insurance . SafeAutos
tips are based on more than a decade of experience in the automobile
insurance industry, offering state required insurance coverage to an underserved market.

“The combination of high gas prices and an unsteady economy has consumers
keeping an eye on every dollar they spend, and automobile insurance is no
exception,” Jon Diamond, president of SafeAuto said. “A growing number of
people who may have never thought about shopping auto insurance prices are
looking for low cost insurance options. Keeping customers legal for less
has always been the central mission at SafeAuto Insurance Company.”

SafeAuto recommends the following tips to save money on car insurance:

1. Some cars cost more to insure. Sports cars and the more expensive models
are simply more expensive to insure because they are more expensive to
repair in an accident. Do some research before you buy, and ask your
existing insurance company if they use any specific criteria to determine
the cost of insuring a vehicle. Also realize cars can be re-classified
causing your insurance rates to increase.

2. Arm yourself with an alarm. Installing safety and anti-theft devices
lower your risk profile. The lower the risk of theft, the less expensive it
will be to insure your vehicle. Be sure to tell your insurance company
about the devices you have installed.

Colleen E. Kriger. Cloth in West African History. Lanham, Md.: AltaMira Press, 2006. xxii + 214 pp. Photographs. Maps. Charts. Notes. Bibliography. Index. $80.00. Cloth. $32,95. Paper. Cloth is a paradoxical raw material for the reconstruction of history. When used as clothing, its most common manifestation, cloth is highly visible, often revealing cultural values and social strata as well as aesthetic preferences. It is also highly mobile, leaving a record of travel, trade, and gift contacts. These factors make it a rich source of historical information. Yet cloth also presents particular challenges as a primary document for historical research. Cloth itself is ephemeral; often used until it wears out, it rarely survives in archaeological contexts. Descriptions of cloth and clothing in travelers accounts or trade records are often colored by the observers own expectations and by the close link between dress and perceptions of morality (or immorality). Colleen E. Kriger undertakes an ambitious task in employing cloth and clothing as the raw material for her investigation of complex histories in West Africa, centered on the lower Niger River region. She succeeds in demonstrating that textiles and clothing can serve as windows onto richly layered African histories. Taking three specific textiles as her starting points, Kriger follows their threads (to use an irresistible metaphor) to linguistic, archaeological, literary, economic, political, technological, and iconographic forms of historical evidence. She draws together these disparate sources to elucidate long histories of innovation and international exchange. The three textiles, all from Nigeria, are an elaborately woven womans wrapper, a pair of embroidered mans trousers, and a wrapper adorned with resist-dyed patterns in indigo dye. The wrappers were collected by the author in the 1970s, and the trousers were collected in 1930. Each textile provides Kriger with a way into broad subjects, including the development of weaving technologies in the region, the interaction between local weavers and regional or transnational influences, the development of indigo resist dyeing techniques, and the impact of colonial policies on African textile production and markets. Each discussion spans chronological and geographical distances, moving from the scant yet tantalizing evidence of centuries-old textiles (beginning with the eleventh-century fabrics found in the Bandiagara region of Mali) to the adaptation of a variety of synthetic fibers and dyes in late twentieth-century Nigeria. Kriger assembles prodigious amounts of information drawn from a range of primary and secondary sources to find connections and offer hypotheses about the development of techniques and styles. She provides tables that summarize the records of British and Dutch textile trading firms, comparisons of textile-related terminology along the West African coast, and surveys of the iconography of adire eleko (the indigo resist developed in and around Lagos in the early twentieth century). Through all of this detailed information, the theme that emerges most strongly-and that represents Krigers most important contribution-is the continuity of change in these ostensibly traditional textile forms: “Textile technology was labor-intensive, but that did not mean that it was static, outmoded, or unprofitable” (178). Thus a long history of change and exchange demonstrates that indigenous textile production has not survived as a holdover, a nostalgic remnant of the past, but rather because it continues to adapt to changing markets.

Polymer Engineering and Science is a publication providing coverage and analysis of the field of chemical engineering.
INTRODUCTION Packaging is an ideal application for digital printing because of the amount of variable information involved. Traditionally, packaging materials have been printed with offset, gravure, or flexography (1), but in this study the printing has been conducted with a digital printing technique, i.e., dry-toner electrophotography. In digital printing the information can be flexibly changed and easily updated. Digital printing allows customization and personalization for selected target groups. Compared with the traditional printing techniques, the volumes are quite small; digital printing is mainly suitable for short runs of highly personalized packages. The obvious benefit of digital printing is the low waste amount and print-on-demand. The status of digital printing in the packaging sector is still rather moderate, but the future looks bright, and estimates show that the use of this method will increase more than that of the traditional printing techniques (2). The quality of digital printing will also approach that of the traditional techniques. The extrusion coatings used in packaging applications include polyolefins (polyethylene, PE; polypropylene, PP), copolymers (e.g., ethylene methyl acrylate, E/MA), adhesives (e.g., acid copolymers), barrier polymers (e.g., polyamide, PA), and other polymers (e.g., polyethylene terephthalate, PET) (3). Based on a pilot trial that included a polymer from each of these groups, three polymers were chosen for more detailed examination: low-density polyethylene (PE-LD), ethylene methyl acrylate (E/MA), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). PE-LD is the highest-volume polymer used in the extrusion coating industry. It is easy to process, it provides an adequate moisture barrier, and it has excellent chemical resistance and heat-sealing properties. In addition to these advantages is the low cost (3, 4). The only problem with PE-LD observed during the pilot trial is the low digital print quality. E/MA is a copolymer of ethylene and methyl acrylate containing typically 5%-20% methyl acrylate. E/MA adheres well to various substrates, and its heat-sealing properties are better than those of PE-LD (3). E/MA had the best print quality of all the polymers used in the pilot trial. PET films outstanding properties as a food-packaging material are its excellent chemical resistance and stability over a wide range of temperatures (-60[degrees]C to 220[degrees]C) (3, 4). PET also had good printability properties. With extrusion coatings, a common problem is the inadequate adhesion between a polymer coating and the printing ink. The most common methods to improve adhesion properties of polymer coatings are different surface treatments. These include flame, corona, and ozone treatments (3). The corona-discharge treatment is widely used to increase the wettability and the adhesion properties of extrusion coated boards (5, 6). With corona treatment, the surface energy of the printing material is increased by subjecting it to a high-voltage electrical charge. The surface molecules, previously arranged at random, are brought into a common pattern by this electrical charge. During corona treatment, three phenomena occur: (a) a chemical effect, (b) a physical effect (micropitting), and (c) an electrostatic effect (electret effect) (7-10). The chemical effect includes surface oxidation and formation of low-molecular-weight compounds. The corona-treatment effect is based on bombarding the surface of a polymer with electrons. When these come into contact with the polymer surface, they have so much energy that they break the molecular bonds between carbon-hydrogen or carbon-carbon, and, in consequence, very reactive free radicals form on the surface. At the same time, ozone and oxygen radicals form that react with the radicals on the surface. As a result, chemical functional groups form on the substrate surface. Polar functional groups that can form and enhance bondability include carbonyl (C=O), carboxyl (COOH), hydroperoxide (-OOH), hydroxyl (-OH), and amide (-CONH[.sub.2]) groups. Even a small amount of these reactive functional groups incorporated into polymers can be highly beneficial to improving surface characteristics and wettability (3, 7, 9, 11-15). Some polymers already contain these reactive groups in their basic structure, for example, the methyl acrylate groups of E/MA are highly polar (see Fig. 1) (3). In contrast, polyolefins, like PE-LD, need corona treatment to form these groups into their structure. With polyolefins, the treatment polarizes the long-chain polymer molecules into shorter-chain fragments and oxidizes the ends of these smaller sections, creating mainly ether and hydroxyl groups (16).

More than wages at issue in job quality debateNonwage characteristics of jobs play a role in employment decisions; workers often trade wages for job security, status, and other job attributes Everyone agrees that the quality of jobs differs, but determining if one job is better than another can lead to great debate. Whether jobs have qualities deemed positive (”good jobs”) or negative (”bad jobs”) depends on the criteria used to evaluate the job as well as who does the evaluation. Economists focus their good jobs-bad jobs debate on wages, while individuals, as well as counselors and psychologists, who are primarily concerned with a comprehensive view of an individuals well-being, also consider the importance of job satisfaction, job security, and many other factors. This article discusses the effect of nonwage attributes of jobs on the perceptions of job quality. It broadens the good jobs-bad jobs debate by considering factors in addition to wages which may be important to individuals in determining the quality of their jobs. The intention is not to detract from concerns about the economic benefits of work, but to highlight important aspects of job quality other than wages.

AREA RUGS can serve many purposes. From an interior design standpoint, rugs support the color scheme and style of the room and can be the perfect starting point for selecting paint and furnishings. Rugs can help define separate areas in a space, and can also serve as a stunning focal point for a room. From a practical standpoint, rugs add warmth to a cool floor, help reduce noise, and provide a comfortable place for kids to play. With the enormous selection of rugs available, choosing the right one can be daunting. Below are a few tips to consider when choosing an area rug. - Decide how much you would like your rug to stand out in the room. Will the rug be a focal point, functioning like artwork in the room? If so, then choose a rug with a beautiful design or motif. For example, in traditionally decorated rooms, you might select a rug with a center medallion; for a more modern room, consider an abstract or geometric design. If you would rather call attention to other features in the room, select a rug with a subtle pattern or solid color. - A rug for your dining room should be large enough to accommodate both the table and the chairs with people sitting in them. A rule of thumb is to add about 36″ to the width and length of the table. This will give enough room for diners to comfortably move their chairs in and out. Generally, china cabinets and buffets sit on the floor, not the area rug.

Abstract The notion of empowering human capital to onset creativity, entrepreneurial spirit, and innovation through planning the careers of institutional members using HRM policies and practices to develop different mindsets, skills and competencies with the ultimate aim to provide a range of innovative products and services is attracting attention. This paper explores the link between career planning and career management as antecedents of career development and job satisfaction, and career commitment as its outcome. A sample of 505 employees of a leading international Singaporean hotel revealed the significant link between the variables of career planning and career management, and career development, and in turn, with job satisfaction and career commitment. The paper discusses the implications of these findings for career development. The globalised business world is undergoing unprecedented change. Organisations operating in this complex business environment are constantly engaged in restructuring and downsizing processes, facilitating mergers and acquisitions and embracing technological advancements to cope with the dynamic pressures of globalisation (Greenhaus, Callanan Godshalk 2000, Appelbaum, Ayre Shapiro 2002, Baruch 2004). These changes at the organisational level have elevated the importance of managing people at work, and in particular, the planning and managing of their careers (Baruch 2004). Arguably, people are the most valuable resource in contemporary organisations, and providing them with a long term stable career is a win-win situation for both organisations and their employees. In this context, a career has been defined as a lifelong process made up of a sequence of activities and related attitudes or behaviours that take place in a persons work life (Hall Associates 1986). It is also viewed as: a pattern of work related experiences, such as job positions, jobs duties or activities, work related decisions; and subjective interpretations of work related events, such as work aspirations, expectations, values, needs and feelings about particular work experiences, that span the course of a persons life (Greenhaus, et al. 2000). Clearly, a career is not just a job, but evolves around a process, an attitude, behaviour and a situation in a persons work life to achieve set career goals. Baruch (2004) points out that career is the property of individuals, but for the employed, it is organisations that will plan and manage employee careers. However, during the last few decades the notion that individuals are also responsible to cater to and build their own careers, instead of leaving it entirely to the organisation to manage, has been well documented (Baruch 2004). Hence, career management requires initiative from both organisations as well as individuals in order to provide maximum benefit for both.
This article addresses the general question as to which competencies employees need to possess in order to engage in self-management in their career development. The authors distinguished and operationalized 6 career factors and competencies of self-management in career development. A quantitative study was performed using 1,579 employees in 16 Dutch companies to investigate the relationship between career competencies and career success. The results indicate that, among others, the factors career control and networking are strongly associated with career success. The results are discussed with respect to the facilitation organizations can provide for their employees career actualization. Career development is a field that is becoming increasingly relevant for both employees and employers. Economic and technological developments have resulted in working careers becoming more unpredictable due to changing work opportunities and shifts in labor. A permanent job with one employer, preferably for the entire span of a persons working life, can no longer be considered the normal work pattern. At present, career opportunities tend to be seen in the light of employability (e.g., van Dam, 2004), recognizing that career development frequently goes beyond the boundaries of one organization (so-called boundaryless careers; Arthur, 1994). The notion of a traditional career, chiefly determined by an employees preliminary training and by opportunities provided by employers, has shifted to the concept of a changing career, largely guided by the employee him-or herself. This change toward employee self-management in career development fuels interest in the personal dispositions that could explain why this type of self-management goes well for some people, but not for others. In this context, we find increasing use of the general term employee competencies. Often lacking, however, is a more specific understanding of which competencies are actually relevant for career development. The need for further research on this matter is underlined by the fact that career competencies are now being mentioned more frequently in national policy documents on employability, as well as in the context of policies and programs in educational and labor organizations. According to Boudreaux (2001) and Savickas (2003), studies with practical relevance that go beyond the traditional focus of career development are needed. Thus, our study focuses on the association between career competencies and career success. Career development can be understood as an enumeration of consecutive jobs and training. In line with demands of the modern labor market, there is increased emphasis on the employees active role and level of involvement with respect to his or her career. This is reflected in concepts such as personal initiative (Frese, 2001), employability (e.g., van Dam, 2004), or preparedness to change (Schyns, 2004). Considering this element of self-guidance, career competencies could be seen as a persons self-management of his or her working and learning experiences in order to achieve desired career progress. Career development is taken as active career-actualization, which we define as the realization of personal goals and values in ones career vis-a-vis the facilitation and constraining conditions of the work situation.
The most fundamental challenge that career psychology faces is the construction of a new identity that will challenge the career theories and counselling practices that have occupied centre stage in evolving forms for over a century As part of that challenge, career practitioners and career educators need to address the critical question of what constitutes a good narrative for career practice at the present time. Central to the re-definition of career theory and counselling is the need to address and redress the diversity of environments in which career development and career counselling takes place. The present article explores the cultural roles inherent in career counselling and the possible reconstruction of the identity of career practitioners, particularly in terms of their responsibilities in culturally diverse settings. This exploration raises ethical concerns about the present training of career practitioners. The present article focuses on the culture that career theory and career counselling has generated. In so doing it challenges career practitioners to consider how they have constructed their career counselling process and whether they need to re-imagine and re-construct their role in this process. There is an increasing sensitivity to such a challenge, particularly in terms of how to career counsel in multicultural societies. South Africa is a case in point where politics, economics and prevailing social conditions have perniciously affected the nature, form and direction of career psychology in South Africa {Nicholas, Naidoo, Pretorius, 2006, p. 2). Faced with 11 official languages, South African career practitioners have to explore and carefully consider the culture of career theory and practice in terms of what makes realistic, contextual sense. That the discipline of career psychology represents a culture in itself seems to be a useful starting point for the present discussion. The present article explores the culture of career psychology from a systemic perspective, depicting it as a stage on which career theory, the career client and the career practitioner are all voices in a cultural script. As part of this exploration, the voices of various African cultures have been included. It is to career theory that we should first turn our attention. Career theory is a large role player on the stage of career psychology. While it is also presently centre stage, it is increasingly becoming a marginalised voice, a voice off. Career practitioners practise within a profession that is under serious threat, a profession that faces issues of relevancy and that sounds more like a chorus of discordant voices than a central, powerful voice. The Xhosa-speaking people of South Africa have a phrase that encapsulates the present status of career theory. They would describe it as umdudo woononkala which literally translated means a crabs dance–a confused discussion where everyone talks at once and, it would seem, often at random.
