This document provides advice for finding qualified candidates with successful work histories for an administrative position requiring 5 years of experience. It suggests screening resumes for 2-4 years at each job instead of only looking for 3-5 years, as millennials often change jobs more frequently. When interviewing, ask about what candidates liked and disliked in previous roles to assess fit. Many have choppy resumes due to layoffs, so focus on top 3-5 skills and cultural fit rather than job history alone. Hiring directly instead of as contractors access a larger pool of experienced candidates currently employed.

The document also outlines characteristics of leading and challenged case management programs, categories and examples of data to monitor, and components of an analytics framework including assessing information needs, designing future states, building tools, and generating reports and dashboards.
As SEO evolves so must we as practitioners. Whilst SEO 'dies' on a regular basis, but continues somehow to survive, everything evolves, and so must we as practitioners. The recent Adobe CMO Conference spoke of 'Whole Brain Marketers'. We also hear mention of 'T Shaped Marketers' which refers to those who have a deep core knowledge in a specialist area with a broad understanding of a range of related and 'touching' skills and topics. Whole Brain Marketers have the analytical skills married with creative and strategic skills. The left and right hemispheres of the brain working together in harmony and to full effect. This talk looks at how we can endeavour to work towards a 'balanced left and right brain' to become 'whole brain marketers'. It also looks at a range of tools to assist us in areas that are not naturally our strengths. e.g. If we are right brain dominant 'creatives' we may require some help and development with logic and technical tools, and vice versa for those left brained dominants amongst us. The talk also looks at how we can begin to use tools to relate to people too if this does not naturally come to us, and understand in advance about their personalities and best effect communication styles for our dealings with them. These could be target marketing personas, colleagues, suppliers or employees.

Fuel in stored equipment needs stabilization to prevent degradation over winter. Without treatment, fuel oxidizes and loses quality/combustibility over time, making engines hard to start in spring. Adding a fuel stabilizer can preserve fuel for up to two years. Star Tron fuel treatment is an enzyme stabilizer that not only preserves fuel but also improves combustibility for easy starting and full power. It works with existing fuel additives to maximize fuel quality and performance throughout storage.
Nearly one-third of American adults want to lose weight for their wedding day, averaging a loss of 39 pounds. Fashion designer Pnina Tornai, who has worked with brides for 26 years, has seen many order dresses two to three sizes smaller for their wedding day. Tornai recommends eating 5-6 small meals per day, filling your plate with vegetables, staying hydrated, managing stress, and adopting long-term lifestyle changes rather than crash dieting to look and feel your best on your wedding day.
Ecotourism involves responsible travel to natural areas in a way that conserves the environment and improves local well-being. It allows travelers to experience places through activities like hiking and kayaking while leaving a small carbon footprint. Ecotourism can have significant economic benefits by educating visitors who become ambassadors, and it is a major source of revenue for many countries. International Expeditions is a travel company that specializes in handling eco-friendly adventures worldwide to locations like the Amazon, Africa, and Galapagos Islands, allowing travelers to experience the culture while supporting local communities.
Millennials are saving more money than past generations according to a Fidelity Investments study. While 47% receive financial help from parents for expenses like cell phones, rent, and clothing, most Millennials have used this cushion to start saving. The study found that 62% have investment accounts and 59% have larger emergency funds averaging $9,100 than Gen Xers or Baby Boomers. Millennials may still be finding their footing as adults but are demonstrating better saving habits than previous generations.
This article provides three ways to make positive impacts on the world before 10 AM: 1) Be mindful of reducing waste and consumption during your morning routine through actions like shorter showers and carpooling; 2) Engage in small acts of kindness toward others to inspire community members; 3) Learn about recycling programs, such as one that recycles Malt-O-Meal cereal bags through TerraCycle to raise money for charity while preventing landfill waste. Taking many small actions each day can collectively make a difference.

The goal is for families to find time for shared meals despite hectic schedules.
Mayonnaise has more uses than just a sandwich spread. It contains healthy oils that provide omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E. These nutrients can help reduce blood pressure and improve heart health. Beyond sandwiches, mayonnaise can be used for baking, grilling, making cold salads and sauces, and spicing up sandwiches with fresh herbs.
Many children today are not getting enough daily exercise and nutrients needed to build strong bones. Approximately 32% of American children are overweight or obese due to increased technology use and less outdoor play. The AAOS recommends that parents ensure children get at least 30-60 minutes of physical activity per day, eat a diet high in calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin C, and do strength training exercises to help build stronger bones and reduce obesity and osteoporosis risks later in life.

The document discusses improving sleep quality and overall health. It states that many people struggle with insomnia and other sleep disorders. It then introduces the Inner Engineering program, which features meditation techniques like Shambhavi Kriya. Research on Shambhavi Kriya shows it can significantly improve sleep quality - participants fell asleep faster, had more restful REM sleep, and symptoms of insomnia decreased. The program aims to not only enhance sleep but also reduce stress and promote feelings of rest throughout the day, leading to benefits like improved immune function and mental well-being.
Telemedicine allows patients to access healthcare providers remotely through mobile apps or online video calls, providing convenience and potentially lowering costs compared to in-person visits. It is being offered more through health insurance plans to treat minor illnesses and connect with doctors without needing to visit urgent care. While not replacing regular doctors, telemedicine gives patients access to care anywhere by connecting with licensed providers in under 5 minutes on average. It is a good option for non-emergency issues like colds or headaches.
This document discusses giving children experiential gifts for the holidays that encourage learning new skills instead of toys. It suggests that experiences help children's education by allowing them to apply skills learned in school. The vice president of Education at Sylvan Learning encourages giving gifts like cooking classes, STEM classes through Sylvan, music lessons, or sports classes. These types of classes teach useful skills while incorporating math, science, problem solving and more. They are described as gifts that are special for both the child and entire family.
80% of a child's learning is visual, yet 35% of children have never seen an eye doctor. It is important to get yearly eye exams for children and equip them with glasses if needed. Children's lenses get dirty, scratched, and strained from glare easily. Essilor's Crizal for Kids lenses are smudge-resistant, anti-glare, durable, and offer unlimited replacements to help children see better at school. They also provide strong UV protection, as children spend more time outside exposed to the sun's UV rays compared to adults. This helps reduce risks of permanent eye damage from UV and blue light from digital devices.
This document discusses health insurance options for childhood cancer survivors. It notes that having health insurance is critical for cancer survivors to ensure continuous coverage and avoid being denied for pre-existing conditions. It provides several options for health insurance, including staying on a parent's plan until age 26, employer-provided insurance, group insurance through organizations, state/federal programs like Medicaid, prescription drug discount programs, individual policies, and learning more at beyondthecure.org. The key message is that childhood cancer survivors should fully understand their health insurance rights and responsibilities to maintain dependable coverage.

A survey by communications company Dialpad found that the traditional desk phone is becoming obsolete as more employees work remotely. The survey found that 80% of companies rely on remote workers and 67% allow employees to work from home. As remote and flexible work increases, the need for desk phones is decreasing. Dialpad offers cloud-based phone, video, and messaging services to replace desk phones and allow communication from any location. They predict that desk phones will disappear completely from offices within 3 years as remote work continues to grow.
Most Americans agree that spending time outdoors can improve both physical and mental health by reducing stress, benefiting mental well-being, and leading to a longer, healthier life. However, many Americans spend over 90% of their time indoors due to work and other obligations. A recent survey found that activities like watching sunrises, bringing nature into the workplace, visiting national park museums, eating meals outside, gardening, and hiking can help increase levels of nature engagement and connect people with the mental and physical health benefits of the natural world.
Aspen Dental has launched a campaign called "What would it take to get you to go to the dentist?" to address barriers that prevent Americans from visiting the dentist regularly. As part of the campaign, NASCAR driver Tony Stewart and fellow driver Danica Patrick surprised race fans at Talladega Superspeedway by fulfilling some of their wishes of things that would motivate them to go to the dentist, such as gifts of a car, boat, or helicopter ride directly to the dentist office. The campaign aims to show that Aspen Dental understands barriers patients face and is willing to make dentistry easier to improve dental health.
Dentists have become more focused on infection control over the decades, employing stricter methods like routine glove, mask, and gown use. However, backflow from saliva evacuation systems poses a cross-contamination risk by potentially allowing fluid from previous patients to enter the current patient's mouth. A new disposable valve called the DOVE Backflow Prevention Valve addresses this issue by only allowing one-way suction flow to prevent backflow, providing a new level of safety. Dentists can easily attach and discard the valves between patients in seconds rather than spending over 10 minutes sterilizing traditional metal valves.
Lisa Colagrossi, a journalist, died suddenly from a ruptured brain aneurysm in 2015. Her husband Todd Crawford created The Lisa Colagrossi Foundation to increase awareness of brain aneurysms after realizing how little was known about the condition and its symptoms. The Foundation has since helped save lives by educating people about risk factors for brain aneurysms like high blood pressure, smoking, and family history, as well as common warning signs like the worst headache of a person's life. Their goal is to help more people recognize the signs of brain aneurysms so treatment can be sought to prevent further rupturing.
A new Humana survey found that optimism seems to be key for mental and physical health in aging Americans over 60. The survey found that those who rated themselves as very optimistic about aging tended to be the most physically and socially active, and reported fewer physically unhealthy days. They also felt younger than their actual age. However, a separate study by Humana and USC found that media portrayals of those over 60 are often inaccurate and ageist, with characters facing demeaning references to their age. These negative perceptions from a lack of representation and ageist media portrayals may negatively impact the health of aging Americans by dampening optimism.
