Intergenerational Dynamics in Your Workforce - Challenge or Opportunity?
Think age diversity doesn’t affect your workplace? Before you respond, read the following situations and highlight those that you’ve observed in your organization:·Baby Boomers who insist on calling meetings for everything. ·Gen X’ers who appear to only be in it for themselves. ·Younger workers who assume that if you don’t have an I-pod you are computer illiterate. ·Seasoned employees who keep reminding everyone the way things used to be. ·Younger managers struggling to gain t

Debt Management Tips for Senior Citizens
Nobody I know wants to spend the last period of their life struggling with debt. Unfortunately though, that is exactly what is happening for an increasing number of senior citizens. There are a lot of options available to younger people such as getting a second job to pay off the debt faster are just not available to senior citizens. So what is? Here is an often overlooked list of items that can help you in such circumstances:Even if you have some savings it is not a good idea to pay off the l

IP stands for Ingress Protection. What is ingress protection, I hear you say. Ingress protection is the degree to which an electrical device can prevent itself from being invaded by solids or liquids. That is to say, the degree to which it can protect itself from ingress.

This can be particularly important as any outside interference from solids or liquids could have cause an electrical device to malfunction, or worse, could cause it to be dangerous. Many liquids can act as a conductor of electricity as can fine dust particles. Solids larger than dust can also pose a threat to the workings of an electrical device. Obviously, if we picked up a metal object and managed to poke it into an electrical device, it could give us a nasty shock! For these reasons, the IP rating is very important.

The IP rating is an internationally recognized standard, and is endorsed by the International Electrotechnical Commission. Most countries around the world have adopted this standard. This uniform standard saves companies and organizations a great deal of time as all they need to do is refer to a device's IP rating rather than having to produce a detailed specification each time they wish to describe how well it is protected from ingress.

Each IP rating comprises two numbers. The first number is a measure of how well the object can withstand invasion by solids, ranging from no special protection at all to protection against dust particles. The second number is a measure of how well it can withstand liquids, ranging from no special protection at all to watertight under water. Incidentally, this rating is not necessarily a measure of how watertight a sub-marine vessel may be under water (although it could be): the test is meant for objects that may be submersed, but only to a depth specified by the manufacturer, although it could be valid for appliances being used on a ship, for instance, where heavy seas could cause excessive splashing.

Keep Up The Pace or Fall Out Of The Race!
Don’t you just wish you could coast for a while on your success what you already know? You want to get everything done and handled successfully and then just lay back and relax for a while.Well, you know how success happened in the tortoise and hare fable. The tortoise kept plugging along consistently moving forward while the hare figured he was far enough ahead in the race to success he could take a break and nap a little. The tortoise attitude wins in life.Maybe ten years ago you heard al

Networking is Like Black Jack
Playing Black Jack (aka ‘21') requires that you play by the rules, or you ruin it for the other players. When the dealer has a card showing between 2 and 6, you never risk going over 21. That's the rule. More times than not, you will come out ahead and so will everyone at the table.You need to know and follow the rules in networking, too, or you risk upsetting everyone at the table! For example, when you have 30 seconds to talk about your business, respect that time.When you follow the

Medical Billing - NSF or UB-92
It is no longer a question in the medical billing community of what the best method of sending claims is. Electronic billing has numerous advantages over sending paper claims including ease of transmission, lower cost, faster turnaround time and a number of other advantages. But what about the type of electronic format? The main ones today are NSF 3.01 and UB-92. So what's the difference and is one better than another? Which one should you use? Does it make a difference? Will using one format over

Train the Trainer is More than Just Standing in Front of a Crowd!
The need for skilled trainers continues to grow as America’s workforce meets the challenges of changing technology and information. Acquiring new knowledge and skills is critical to your job success and ongoing professional development.Some workers may be able to walk onto a job and get their hands around it immediately, but for most new employees, training is necessary. That is why trainers are important! It is the trainer’s job to ensure that employees have the knowledge, ability and confidence

be valid for appliances being used on a ship, for instance, where heavy seas could cause excessive splashing.

Taking the first digit, which is for protection against solid objects, the range is as follows:

0 - No protection against ingress from solid objects
1 - Protects against any object over 50mm
2 - Protects against any object over 12.5mm
3 - Protects against any object over 2.5mm
4 - Protects against any object over 1mm
5 - Protected from most dust ingress, enough to allow normal operation
6 - Complete protection from dust ingress

The second digit concerns protection from liquids:

0 - No protection against ingress from liquids
1 - Protected against vertically falling water drops
2 - Protected against vertically falling water drops when the enclosure is tilted up to 15 degrees
3 - Protected against spraying water
4 - Protected against splashing water
5 - Protected against water jets
6 - Protected against powerful water jets/heavy seas
7 - Protected against temporary immersion in water
8 - Protected against continuous immersion in water

The above list may require further clarification from the manufacturer of the specific device, especially for 7 and 8. For instance, the depth of the water and the duration of continuous would need to be defined. The reason is that some oceans are so deep that virtually no object could withstand the pressure, and would collapse. Also, continuous may mean eternally to some people - and no-one could guarantee anything forever!

To give you an example of how the system works, take the Insectocutor IND65 Fly Killer Machine from Arkay Hygiene. Its IP rating is 65 (hence the name). The 6 means that it is fully protected from dust. The 5 means that it is protected against water jets, but not as powerful as may be experienced in heavy seas. The IP65 rating means that the IND65 can be used in facilities where there may be a lot of dust in the air or where occasional jets of water are experienced. The IND65 has in fact been recently been re-named as the IP65 as a recognition of this rating.

Of course my wife said I didn't know what I was doing and my friends also were skeptical and thought that I was completely wasting my time.

Nowadays the vending machine business is a great business opportunity for anyone. Initial investment into a vending machine business is not very much and it is even possible to start with just used vending machines.

It used to be every generation or two that a great idea would come that would change everybody's lives. Today we seem to be getting one or two every year.
