In the field of employee relations and labor/management conflicts, sometimes we have to work hard to find things about which both sides (employee and management) agree. One such area is performance reviews or appraisals. It’s just about universally true that nobody likes performance appraisals. But, the effective, accurate and objective evaluation of each employee’s performance holds the key to improving the overall performance of your entire organization. In this webinar, you'll learn: The role of performance management. Why we do performance reviews. Key strategies for effective performance management. Continuous learning and development.

It’s that time of year again, time to start planning for next year! As we approach the final months of 2019, it’s helpful to use this year’s successes to create a plan for next year and beyond. But, that can be easier said than done. With an abundance of opinions from leadership and staff and data collected from research, it’s overwhelming trying to prioritize what needs to be done. And when things get overwhelming, it often leads to nothing taking priority. You don’t have to figure out this plan alone! Join Libby Mullen from BizLibrary and JD Conway from BambooHR as they discuss five strategies every company should use. These strategies come from simple concepts that you can easily implement at your organization to put you on the path to success. During this webinar you’ll learn: - Why culture is an important factor for any successful company, and how to align culture to company goals. - How continually supporting your employees throughout the employee journey makes it easier to plan for the future. - A five-part game plan that will guide you to organizational success in 2020.

Attachment: Programs and Families Working Together Learning Objectives After reading this chapter, you should be able to: ▸▸ Discuss the history of attachment theory and be able to define attachment. ▸▸ Recognize the importance of developing a secure attachment in infants and young children. ▸▸ Describe the four types of attachment and typical behaviors associated with each. ▸▸ Differentiate among the different kinds of temperaments and explain how a child’s temperament can affect the development of attachment. ▸▸ Explain how parents can foster a child’s secure attachment during the first three stages of Erikson’s psychosocial theory. ▸▸ Examine the relationship between cultural diversity and attachment. ▸▸ Identify how an early care and education program can develop and foster secure attachment in infants and young children. ▸▸ Explain how an early care and education program and family can work together to enhance the development of secure attachment. 2 © Jupiterimages/Thinkstock Attachment Theory Chapter 2 Introduction It is a marvel to see a family of mallard ducks walk across a street, mother proudly in front and tiny little ducklings following in a straight line behind. In a flock of sheep with new lambs, it is amazing to see how each pair is somehow able to find each other. In these cases, there is an inborn instinct or bond between the mother and new offspring. This is a survival mechanism that helps the parent care for the tiny, vulnerable new babies. But what about humans? Do we have a similar bond or connection? Is there some kind of built-in mechanism that creates a connection between a parent and his or her newborn child? It is generally believed that humans do have a similar connection or bond, known as attachment (see Chapter 1). According to attachment theory, attachment plays a critical role in the healthy development of the infant and young child and determines whether the child grows into a secure or insecure adult. According to Ainsworth (1973), attachment is an emotional tie formed between one individual and another specific individual. Bowlby (1988) believes that babies are born with behaviors—crying, smiling, and clinging—that elicit caregiving behaviors from parents. An infant, however, is not born with attachment. Rather, attachment develops over time as the result of dynamic interactions between the infant and mother or other significant caregivers. Attachment develops slowly, from birth through the child’s first years. As infants interact with important adults in their lives, they develop a concept or model of their relationship with others—what we call an internal working model (Bowlby, 1973). This model then influences the development of later relationships and acts as a guide to emotions, perceptions, and attitudes. The view that attachment is a critical model that sets the stage for healthy development is known as attachment theory. Not all children develop secur.

Kellogg Foundation 53535353 Developing a Basic Logic Model For Your Program Drawing a picture of how your program will achieve results hether you are a grantseeker developing a proposal for start-up funds or a grantee with a program already in operation, developing a logic model can strengthen your program. Logic models help identify the factors that will impact your program and enable you to anticipate the data and resources you will need to achieve success. As you engage in the process of creating your program logic model, your organization will systematically address these important program planning and evaluation issues: • Cataloguing of the resources and actions you believe you will need to reach intended results. • Documentation of connections among your available resources, planned activities and the results you expect to achieve. • Description of the results you are aiming for in terms of specific, measurable, action- oriented, realistic and timed outcomes. The exercises in this chapter gather the raw material you need to draw a basic logic model that illustrates how and why your program will work and what it will accomplish. You can benefit from creating a logic model at any point in the life of any program. The logic model development process helps people inside and outside your organization understand and improve the purpose and process of your work. Chapter 2 is organized into two sections—Program Implementation, and Program Results. The best recipe for program success is to complete both exercises. (Full-size masters of each exercise and the checklists are provided in the Forms Appendix at the back of the guide for you to photocopy and use with stakeholder groups as you design your program.) Exercise 1: Program Results. In a series of three steps, you describe the results you plan to achieve with your program. Exercise 2: Program Resources and Activities by taking you through three steps that connect the program’s resources to the actual activities you plan to do. Chapter 2 W B A S I C L O G I C M O D E L D E V E L O P M E N T Produced by The W. K. Kellogg Foundation 54545454 The Mytown Example Throughout Exercises 1 and 2 we’ll follow an example program to see how the logic model steps can be applied. In our example, the folks in Mytown, USA are striving to meet the needs of growing numbers of uninsured residents who are turning to Memorial Hospital’s Emergency Room for care. Because that care is expensive and not the best way to offer care, the community is working to create a free clinic. Throughout the chapters, Mytown’s program information will be dropped into logic model templates for Program Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation. Novice Logic modelers may want to have copies of the Basic Logic Model Template in front of them and follow along. Those read.

B H 1. The first issue that jumped out to me is that the president and two vice presidents were the ones to develop the program. Our lecture notes and the text tell us that safety is one topic where management and employees can usually come to an agreement. Everyone wants a safe work environment. We are also taught that consultation is the best way to approach health and safety at work. Again, this means involving more than three people at the company. For starters, I would recommend that the safety program be dismantled and reconstructed by a committee consisting of at least 50% employees, not just senior leadership. I would keep this committee as small as possible and not have it controlled by one person only. The committee should be formed of employees from all sections and representing all possible departments where health and safety are potential issues. 2.

N S 1. 1.Top of Form There could be a number of problems with CMI's safety awareness plan. One major one is that they could not be promoting safety. That is the first step into getting the program to work...employee involvement. First the awareness program was developed by the president and the vice presidents. A safety awareness program can be more successful if employees are involved in the development, and remain involved as it is adjusted and refined. Rules should be in place, and employers must ensure that those rules are followed and enforced consistently. Incentives and competition could be another way to promote safety in the work place. Our text cites that having employees work in teams and have them determine the incentives will keep them involved and promote safety. Also, of course keeping employees up to date on all rules will also promote safety. 2. I think the supervisor's response to employee complaints about John Randall is not appropriate at all. Even thought it is difficult, home problems should not be brought into the work place. Especially if coworkers are complaining about someone's behavior. This does not promote safety at all. To say that Randall will get over it and to disclose that he has personal problems is.

b l u e p r i n t i CONSUMER PERCEPTIONS HQW DQ Perceptions Impact Your Market? By Nicole Olynk Widmar and Melissa McKendree, Purdue University I aintaining existing markets for pork products, I cultivating new markets for existing products and creating new products for new markets are some avenues that the U.S. pork industry has sought, and continues to explore, for growth. When it comes to maintaining markets, there are several relationships that must be considered. End consumers, whether in restaurant or supermarket settings, are increasingly interested in social issues and the production processes employed in food production. Livestock products (meat and dairy products) certainly seem to get the majority of the spotlight in regard to consumers' concern for production processes. Shoppers in supermarkets and din- ers in restaurants have increased access to information via the Internet, and are in constant communication with one another via social media and alterna- tive news sources about perceptions of animal agriculture. Even though most U.S. consumers are not directly in contact with livestock, concern for the treatment of animals, including those employed in food production, is evident — and increasing. While in the past consumers were mainly concerned with factors like the fat or nutritional content of pork, for example, today's savvy shoppers are con- sidering other factors, like the welfare of livestock (pigs), safety of workers employed on farms and potential envi- ronmental impacts (externalities) of livestock operations. Large-scale changes in production practices are taking place in livestock 24 April 15, 2014 production due to pressures from various interested parties. Changes such as the discontinued use of gestation stalls, for example, are being sought via traditional regulatory channels in some states, but are also being pushed via non-traditional market channels. Consider the cumbersome process of changing regulations, versus the oftentimes faster (and perhaps easier) channel of influencing key market actors. It is no surprise that consumers' concerns are increasingly voiced to supermarkets and restaurants which, in turn, take action to satisfy their customers by placing pressure on supply-chain players. Changes sought via "the market," rather than legislation or regulation, are increasingly common, and the use of market channels for communicating throughout the supply chain is unlikely to stop anytime soon. www.nationalhogfarmer.com Figure 1.

B R O O K I N G S M E T R O P O L I TA N P O L I CY P R O G RA M 6 I . I N T R O D U C T I O N A s the global economy has become more integrated and urbanized, fueled in large part by technology, major cities and metropolitan areas have become key engines of economic growth. The 123 largest metro areas in the world generate nearly one third of global output with only 13 percent of the world’s population. In this urban-centered world, the classic notion of a global city has been upended. This report introduces a redefined map of global cities, drawing on a new typology that demonstrates how metro areas vary in the ways they attract and amass economic drivers and contribute to global economic growth in distinct ways. New concerns about economic stagnation—in both developing and developed economies—add urgency to mapping the role of the world’s cities and the extent to which they are well-positioned to deliver the next round of global growth.1 Instead of a ranking or indexed score, which many prior cities indices and reports have capably deliv- ered,2 this analysis differentiates the assets and challenges faced by seven types of global cities. This perspective reveals that all major cities are indeed global; they participate as critical nodes in an integrated marketplace and are shaped by global currents. But cities also operate from much different starting points and experience diverse economic trajectories. Concerns about global growth, productivity, and wages are not monolithic, and so this typology can inform the variety of paths cities take to address these challenges. For metro leaders, this typology can also ensure better application of peer com- parisons, enable the identification of more relevant global innovations to local challenges, and reinforce a city-region’s relative role and performance to inform economic strategies that ensure ongoing prosperity. This report proceeds in four parts. In the following section, Part II, we explore the three global forces of urbanization, globalization, and technological change, and how together they are demanding that city- regions focus on five core factors—traded clusters, innovation, talent, infrastructure connectivity, and governance—to bolster their economic competitive- ness. Building on these factors, Part III outlines the data and methods deployed to create the metropolitan typology. Part IV explores the collective economic clout of the metro areas in our sample and introduces the new typology of global cities. Finally, Part V explores the future investments, policies, and strategies required for each grouping of metro areas. Within the typology framework, we explore the priorities for action going forward, including the implications for governance. REDEFINING GLOBAL CITIES THE SEVEN TYPES OF GLOBAL METRO ECONOMIES 7 U R B A N I Z AT I O N The world is becoming more urba.

BLOCKCHAIN FEATURES • A blockchain lets us agree on the state of the system, even if we don’t all trust each other! • We don’t want a single trusted arbiter of the state of the world. • A blockchain is a hash chain with some other stuff added – Validity conditions – Way to resolve disagreements • The spread of blockchains is bad for anyone in the “trust business” WHAT IS BITCOIN • A protocol that supports a decentralized, pseudo-anonymous, peer-to-peer digital currency • A publicly disclosed linked ledger of transactions stored in a blockchain • A reward driven system for achieving consensus (mining) based on “Proofs of Work” for helping to secure the network • A “scare token” economy with an eventual cap of about 21M bitcoins 10 OTHER USES OF BLOCKCHAIN • Supply Chain • Online advertising • Smart Contracts • Voting BENEFITS OF BLOCKCHAIN • Consistent • Democratic • Secure and accurate • Segmented and private • Permanent and tamper resistant • Quickly updated • Intelligent – smart contracts BARRIERS TO BLOCKCHAIN ADOPTION • Hype • Finding the right balance in regulation • Cybersecurity • Ease of use over shared databases • Lack of understanding and knowledge SUPPLY CHAIN CHALLENGES • Margin Erosion • Demand changes • Ripple Effect • Supply Chain Risk Management • Lack of end to end visibility • Obsolescence of Technology APPLICATIONS IN SUPPLY CHAINS • Traceability • International Trade • Continuity of Information • Data Analytics • Visibility • Digital contracts and payments • Check fraud and gaming EX AMPLES OF BLOCKCHAIN IN SUPPLY CHAINS • 300 Cubits – Blokcchain technology for the shipping industry • BanQu – Payment for small businesses • Bext360 – Social sustainability.

Slack, Jr.2 Resumen E ste artículo investiga la totalidad de la influencia de Asia sobre la Nueva España que resultó de la conquista de Manila en 1571 y la re-gularización del comercio Transpacífico -comúnmente conocido como los galeones de Manila o las naos de China- entre las Filipinas y Acapulco. En sus inicios, una oleada constante de inmigrantes asiáticos, mercancías y nuevas técnicas de producción influyeron mesuradamente en la sociedad y la economía colonial mediante un proceso que el autor denomina “Orientali- zación”. No obstante, en ninguna manera “Orientalización” se debe equiparar con el concepto de Edward Said de “Orientalismo” por la relación histórica, única e intima de la Nueva España con Asia a principios de la edad Moderna. Abstract This article examines the totality of Asia’s influence on New Spain that resulted from the conquest of Manila in 1571 and the regularization of transpacific trade – more widely known as the Manila Galleons or naos de China – between the Philippines and Acapulco. In its wake, a steady stream of Asian immigrants, commodities, and manufacturing techniques measurably impacted colonial society and economy through a process the author calls “Orientalization.” However, “Orientalization” should in no way be equated with Edward Said’s 1.

Introduction Contrary to popular belief, the Philippines Islands were more a colony of New Spain (Nueva España) than of “Old Spain” prior to the nineteenth century. The Manila galleons, or naos de China (China ships), transported Asian products and peoples to Acapulco and other Mexican ports for approximately 250 years. Riding this ‘first wave’ of maritime contact between the Americas and Asia were tra- velers from China, Japan, the Philippines, various kingdoms in Southeast Asia and India known collectively in New Spain as chinos (Chinese) or indios chinos (Chine- se Indians), as the word chino/a became synonymous with the Orient. The rather indiscrimi- nate categorizing of everything “Asian” under the Spanish noun for the Ming/Qing empire, its subjects and export items is easily discovered in a variety of sources from that age. To illustrate, the eig hteenth centur y works of Italian adventurer Gamelli Carreri and the criollo priest Joachin Antonio de Basarás (who evangelized in Luzon) nonchalantly refer to the Philippine Islands as “la China.”3 Additionally, words such as chinería (Chinese-esque, European/Mexican imitation of Chines.
