Do you own or manage a company? If you do, you know that internal company communications ? communicating with the folks that work for and manage the company, can be a difficult task that is often fraught with pitfalls and difficulties.

Whether you have a dozen, twelve hundred or even 12,000 employees, conveying important news, policies, changes in production or company goals and aims can be a difficult task.

Is there someone working inside the company who has this duty? Is it the CEO’s job? Or the HR Director’s responsibility? Perhaps a division manager or a department manager who gets the job? And can you be certain that what you are trying to say to employees internally will be clearly understood?

Writer and media expert Cassie Wilson of CassieWorks (www.cassieworks.com) says perhaps not! ?Effective internal company communication is not as easy as it may seem. Dictating a memo may get the message delivered but often with unintended and sometimes disastrous results!?

Wilson recommends hiring a professional firm to handle internal communications for nearly any size company. She says this way, you know that the job will be completed and delivered and the message conveyed in the way that you want it to be.

Often times, someone inside the company who is charged with sending out an employee notice feels that they are ‘stuck with it’ and that attitude is, all too often, conveyed in the message, whether intended or not.

Another good reason to hire an outside professional writer to handle internal company communication is that ?they won’t have an ‘agenda?, says Wilson. The outside writer doesn’t have to deal with the daily ‘politics of the office’ in the company.

So whether it’s a ‘re-focus’ of company goals, the introduction of a new product line or perhaps, the not so good news of a reduction in the workforce ? good news or not so good ? hire an outside professional to handle the internal communications at your company. You’ll know that the message is clear and delivered in just the way you want it to be.

“If animals could speak the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow, but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much.” ~ Mark Twain

Every creature living on planet earth has its own unique way of expressing themselves, i.e., to communicate. Communication in a broader sense is the art of delivering messages to each other and vice versa by signals, behavior, body language, gestures, writing and speech. Let’s see the interesting way cats convey their wants and needs to us humans. Domestic cats have their own way of communicating with humans. Research has shown that wild cats in Africa – which later evolved into domestic cats – don’t have this special skill. However, regarding the domestic cat’s ancestor, a recent study said

The domestic house cat is descended from the Middle Eastern Wild cat, uncovering proof of how and when cats first came to supervise so many homes for humans. The DNA of 979 cats throughout the world were analyzed and found that all feral and domestic cats today have a common ancestor: the Near Eastern Felis silvestris. Cats were first domesticated in the Fertile Crescent, an area stretching from the eastern Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf, and then cats were transported around the world by humans. The earliest archaeological evidence for cats and people living together was found in Cyprus, dating to 9,500 years ago.

Domestic cats have a long relationship with humans, traced all the way back to when farmers began growing grain 10,000 to 12,000 years ago. Farmers recognized that cats would prey on rodents who ate their crop, and through this situation there developed a mutually beneficial relationship between our two species. You see, cats and people have been communicating pretty well now for 10,000 years.

In 2002, a psychologist from Cornell University, Nicholas Nicastro, compared hundreds of “meow” vocalizations from domestic cats (Felis catus) to African wild cats (Felis silvetris lybica) and his research proved that the difference between their vocalizations were in accordance to whether they were trying to communicate with humans. For instance, when cats demand to be fed, they express a different “meow” then when they are in an angry mood. Thus, based on my own experience at being a longtime cat-lover, I can tell their moods not only from their different meows, but also by a wide range of kitty lexicon including their body language and gestures – headbutts, how they wag their tails, et al. – right on down to the different ways they purr. Please see YouTube video below for the hard evidence.

The research showed that there are indeed significant differences in the two different types of cats’ abilities to communicate and it all centered on their exposure to humans. The African wild cats were only capable of expressing the unpleasant meow vocal range. They don’t produce the soft swaying meows like domestic cats. Furthermore, cats love to observe and study how we – humans – express our emotions and communicate our feelings to each other and with other creatures. And the clever little devils are taking notes because our cats really know how to push our buttons to get what they want. They have been learning from us all this time. The proof of this statement is available in the YouTube video below.

“Cats are domesticated animals that have learned what levers to push, what sounds to make to manage our emotions,” Nicastro says. “And when we respond, we too are domesticated animals.”

By The Fruit Collectivism Bears, We Know Our System’s Better

by Michael D. Hume, M.S.

When I was 15, I worked part-time for the local small-town weekly newspaper. The owner of the business, my editor, became one of the most important mentors in my life. I could write dozens of pieces about the lessons he taught me; one of them concerned the value of competition. We had a rival newspaper, one town over, and I muttered once that I wished they’d go out of business. “Well, some days I think that’d be nice,” said the boss, a sigh in his overworked voice. “But really, I don’t wish it. We are one of the best papers in the state because we have to be. The competitor keeps us on our toes, and forces us to do our best work.”

In a geopolitical sense (or more appropriately, in a global-economics sense), our system of free market capitalism has had one serious competitor: communism. Communism exists at the far end (the left end) of a continuum, the other end of which is a completely free and unfettered market, and intermediate steps along which include regulated markets, socialism, and collectivism.

Though many so-called progressives would love to separate them, from my point of view there are two other continua which march more-or-less in lockstep with communism-capitalism. These are statism-liberty, and atheism-faith. If I correctly remember my eighth-grade history (a subject which is, due to the progressivism currently under discussion, no longer much taught), capitalism has as its running-buddies individual liberty and faith in God. Communism’s pals, in stark contrast, are authoritarian control of individuals by the state, and denial of the Almighty in favor of an allegiance to the state that amounts to idolatry.

I do remember eighth grade. That’s the second year I took Russian (it was my best school subject) and announced that I would be a Bible-smuggler in the Soviet Union when I grew up. I dreamed of a life of danger and intrigue! See, the Bible, or any other religious scripture, was seriously frowned-upon by the Soviet authorities. You got more than a ticket for peddling The Good Book in their state-controlled socialist Utopia.

I ended up pursuing other dreams, thank God.

America was founded by people who came here looking, first, for religious freedom. They had to hack an existence out of a brutal wilderness; but if they could, they got to keep the fruits of their labor. Their government was far away and distracted by more important things for many decades; these colonists enjoyed a high degree of autonomy to worship, work, and grow their communities. They worked together, but made their fortunes through plucky individualism and by having the guts to take chances and make those chances pay off. Capitalism grew up with faith in God and individual liberty… whenever any one of the three was threatened, all three were threatened.

The Soviet experiment showed that communism grows up with atheism and totalitarianism. In the Soviet Union, you weren’t allowed to worship God, and you weren’t allowed to do just about anything else your individual spirit moved you to do, either. Have we forgotten how things work out when you “progress” a society to communism? My kids, who were in high school not that long ago, didn’t learn about what the word “defect” meant, as a verb, in the 1970s. You weren’t allowed to relocate from the Soviet Union… they needed all their “workers” because, after all, you were not a citizen. You were property of the state.

Note how our current American progressive government continues to pick away at the Big Three. Culturally, socially, and politically, there is a “correct” way to think and behave… and it isn’t cool to be a business owner, a church-goer, or a person so concerned about individual rights and liberties that you’d go so far as to attend a (gasp) Tea Party rally. Seeking evolution instead of revolution, they “progress” one little step at a time… a tax hike here, a president with no discernible religion there, a government takeover of an industry over there. Some progress.

You’ve heard me say there are two types of us out there: the Entrepreneur, who is likely to roll up her sleeves, take risks and make things happen, and the Victim, who’s sitting around waiting for others (notably the Entrepreneurs) to take care of him. This country was founded, defended, and maintained for more than two centuries by Entrepreneurs who cling to the Big Three because they – God, Liberty, and Free Market Capitalism – are the things that define and drive this nation. Victims seek to pull us all into the sort of “entitlement” that ends up more resembling “entrapment,” and they want us all marching one progressive step at a time toward collectivism, statism, and denial of any Being Supreme to the national government.

But here’s today’s message of hope: we’re starting to get it. Especially the generation of my kids, the young adults who’ll ultimately bring us back to ourselves. These kids are seeing through the bull of “Hope and Change” progressivism with all its substantial dangers, and are quietly starting to move the country back away from the edge of the cliff. They are educating themselves on the real global conspiracy against private wealth, they’re starting their own businesses, and they’re keeping themselves healthy and strong for the struggle that is to come. They believe in the markets, they believe in liberty, and they believe in God.

If there hadn’t been such a dramatic demonstration case of what happens when progressivism fully progresses, this awakening might not be possible without a repeat of the disasters of the early part of the last century. Remember the words of my editor-mentor: we are the best because we have to be.

There are many students who are graduating high school but who do not have the great clarity that can come with having a clear set of aspirations. Rather, these students are looking for some sort of direction in their post-high school days and many are not even sure of what major they would like, let alone what college to go to. For these types of students, time enrolled in a community college pursuing an associates degree can be just what the doctor ordered.

Community colleges developed from the public education philosophy of the United States of America. Local municipalities or state governments have a variety of ways in which they help to educate the populace of their community. Community colleges are the only colleges that can consistently offer programs in the associates degree field (this is the first degree to complete; the next would be the bachelors). Also, community colleges provide students with the ability to obtain a high class post-secondary education at a fraction of the price.

It takes approximately 60 credit hours of class time in order for students to achieve an associates – this is roughly a two year time period. In this time period, students have a myriad of options to choose from, however, the most important of these choices can be whether to choose to pursue a transfer degree or if the right degree is a career or professional degree.

The career or professional degree program is for students don’t want to pursue a degree program heavy on liberal arts courses, but who would rather pursue a program in which they would learn about the nature of the profession they would like to head into. These students are usually seeking to enter professional fields in the trades, the service industry, or in the public services sector.

There are three major types of degree programs for students seeking the career or professional degree. These degrees are the Associate in Applied Sciences, the Associate in Industrial Technology, and the Associate in Occupational Studies.

For students who complete the transfer degree program, they will find that there are many advantages to pursuing the associates degree at the local community college instead of going to the traditional four year college or university. Many students use the transfer degree to complete the tedious liberal arts course work that is unrelated to their major of choice, as well as heading to the community college because many students do not want to pay more for an education when they do not have to as many course credits are reciprocal.

There are two major types of degrees for students who are in the transfer degree program. The Associate of Science (AS) is for students who have a concentration in the natural sciences, computers or mathematics. Students who complete the Associate of Arts (AA) have a concentration in the humanities or social science courses.

Is your marriage crumbling apart? Are you and your spouse headed for divorce? A lot of marriage issues are due to the fact that many couples have a lack of communication skills. Yelling at your partner to clean up after themselves from across the room is NOT an appropriate way to communicate with your spouse. Calling your spouse and accusing him of not loving you anymore because he never takes you out is NOT a form of resourceful communication. Communication how you communicate your feelings, needs and wants in a respectful, loving and mature way.

First things first, you and your spouse need to take a moment and talk about how your marriage needs some work. The way you guys communicate to each other needs to change. At one point in the relationship, you guys would never have ever dreamed of treating each other the way you guys talk to each other now. I don’t know what your current situation is, but if your marriage is falling apart because of how you guys talk (or don’t talk) to each other, this needs to change.

“I” Statements Vs. “You” Statements

When saying something to your spouse that could illicit a fight, I highly suggest using “I” statements rather that “You” statements. “You” statements are debatable and can easily make your spouse feel they need to defend themselves. If you use “I” statements, it’s a lot harder for your spouse to disagree with how YOU FEEL. They will evaluate what they did to make you feel this way and think of more resourceful ways he or she could have put it. For example “I feel as if I do all the house work around here” will go over better than “You never help clean the house.” See the difference there? Just by changing how you address problems could really help how you and your spouse communicate.

Timeout For Yourself

If your in a heated argument, it’s always best to take a walk or a breather before you guys continue. This way, when you guys do talk about the problem, all that anger can dissipate and prevent you from saying hurtful and irrational things. So many arguments that do escalate to a full blown shouting match could make you both feel worse before the fight even began. Knowing when to take a break and cool off before you say anything else can really prevent words that will be impossible to take back from coming out of your mouth.

Take Turns to Speak

What you can do is to allow each other to have a conversation without interrupting each other. If you interrupt your spouse when they are talking, it simple means that what you have to say is more important that what your spouse is saying. There are many people have this bad habit when they are talking. This is very rude and disrespectful. One of the good tip to know in saving marriage is allowing each other to speak and be heard. What you can do is stop yourself when you are about to do it. This will take a lot of practice to get this right.

Understand You Can’t Control Their Feelings or Opinions

Most arguments happens because each person is trying to convince the other that they are right. Really listen to your spouse and try to understand where they are coming from.

Accept the reality that you and your spouse won’t always agree on anything. There are no two people that no matter how in love they are with each other can always agree on anything. When you accept this sooner in your marriage, you can have more productive fights instead of damaging ones. This can also show that you give respect to your spouse because you allowed your spouse to have a personal opinion. This means that you recognize your spouse as a separate person that can have their own unique perspective.

Ultimatums=Death of a Marriage

The last advice that you can have for a save marriage advice when having a difficult conversation is avoiding the all-or-nothing kinds of statements. If you start using extreme words like never or always then you are just getting yourself into hot water. You and your spouse can save a lot from grief if you remember that there a lot at stake in between those extreme words.
