What is executive management of corporate America sacrificing for the benefit of their companies and employees?



Your Ad Here





Question by Nunya K: What is executive management of corporate America sacrificing for the benefit of their companies and employees?

Ten million people out of work and growing. Consumer spending dropped last month more than it has ever dropped. Home foreclosures at record highs and the economic outlook going forward is nothing but doom and gloom.

Just like in politics, why does the executive level management only seem to be concerned about getting bailout money and their bonuses and how taking that bailout money will affect them?

How do Americans know that government papers are real? If you see an eagle holding a shield, and a pyramid with an eye above it, the papers are no fakes. Listen to Benjamin Franklin as he talks about the birth of the Great Seal in 1782 and why its still so important to our country today.

The Costa Rica Reader: History, Culture, Politics (The Latin America Readers)

Long characterized as an exceptional country within Latin America, Costa Rica has been hailed as a democratic oasis in a continent scorched by dictatorship and revolution; the ecological mecca of a biosphere laid waste by deforestation and urban blight; and an egalitarian, middle-class society blissfully immune to the violent class and racial conflicts that have haunted the region. Arguing that conceptions of Costa Rica as a happy anomaly downplay its rich heritage and diverse population, The Costa Rica Reader brings together texts and artwork that reveal the complexity of the country̢۪s past and present. It characterizes Costa Rica as a site of alternatives and possibilities that undermine stereotypes about the region̢۪s history and challenge the idea that current dilemmas facing Latin America are inevitable or insoluble.

This essential introduction to Costa Rica includes more than fifty texts related to the country’s history, culture, politics, and natural environment. Most of these newspaper accounts, histories, petitions, memoirs, poems, and essays are written by Costa Ricans. Many appear here in English for the first time. The authors are men and women, young and old, scholars, farmers, workers, and activists. The Costa Rica Reader presents a panoply of voices: eloquent working-class raconteurs from San José’s poorest barrios, English-speaking Afro-Antilleans of the Limón province, Nicaraguan immigrants, factory workers, dissident members of the intelligentsia, and indigenous people struggling to preserve their culture. With more than forty images, the collection showcases sculptures, photographs, maps, cartoons, and fliers. From the time before the arrival of the Spanish, through the rise of the coffee plantations and the Civil War of 1948, up to participation in today’s globalized world, Costa Rica’s remarkable history comes alive. The Costa Rica Reader is a necessary resource for scholars, students, and travelers alike.

Question by estephania2182: When taking FMLA for pregnancy what paperwork do you need to fill out for medical certification?

I am planning on taking 6 weeks short term disability through my work for my pregnancy and I want to take the last six weeks on FMLA leave. What is the process for taking FMLA leave? Do I need to fill out some sort of application for that or what?? And do I have to have medical certification for pregnancy on FMLA leave?

The first one is about the short term disability and the second is info on the FMLA. Each employer has their own forms though so you may want to contact your HR dept. for the proper forms. I am 34 weeks and my last day is the 28th of Dec. I just filled these 2 forms out myself. My company goes through a certain financial group for the short term disability that they had to file the claim through. As for the FMLA, I signed a customized form that my company made for themselves. Every company is different so I don't think you can find a universal form for either of these two, but hopefully this info on these forms could help.

Quantum Mechanics: A Modern and Concise Introductory Course (Advanced Texts in Physics)





Starting from basic principles, the book systematically covers both Heisenberg and Schrödinger realizations of quantum mechanics (in this order). It provides excellent didactic introduction to the essential principles and treats recent concepts such as entanglement and decoherence. The book gives the background needed to understand quantum cryptography, teleportation and computation, and it is especially suitable for introducing the spin. This second edition includes a more friendly presentation to Hilbert spaces, and more practical applications e.g. scanning tunneling microscope (potential barrier).

Entertaining
by mercurialn

Question by Miss Marilynn: What are entertaining broadway solos for a girl?

I am doing a lot of singing competitions this summer and I need some good solo songs that are entertaining and that would WOW the judges! :)

So far I have sung Think of Me, Popular, I Dreamed a Dream, I Can Hear the Bells, and many Disney songs! I usually sing songs that I can act out.

Ideas? :)

Answer by Sayuri
Check out music from "Into the Woods". It's an incredible musical with lots of good music. There's one song, "Giants in the Sky" that would make a really great solo. It's supposed to be sung by a guy (Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk fame), but a girl could sing it too. Heck, I want to sing it!!!

Also, I just watched a musical called Chess. It's also got some great music.
