Your Personality Based on Blood Type

Believe it or not, blood type can influence someone's personality. Most of you who like surfing the Internet might have known about this information, but it is still essential for you to know about this fact.

Pressure Canner

Blood type A

Pressure Canner

People with blood type A are usually serious, patient, and cool. They are also emphatic, certifiable, and believable although they are stubborn. Before they do something, they usually think first and plan it in detail. Indeed, they like harmony, peace and organization.

They do everything seriously and consistently, and make themselves appropriately. That is why, they will try not to hurt anyone with their words or speak unnecessarily. But, they can stand apart from other people. They also suppressed their feeling, so they look rigid although they still have weaknesses, such as nervous, scary, and many more. They lean to surround themselves with the same characteristic people.

Blood Type B

People with blood type B tend to be curious and interested in everything. They also lean to have many hobbies. If they are interested in something, they will be buoyant, but unfortunately they will be bored fast. However, they can choose the most important thing for them to do.

They lean to want to be number one in anything rather than just to be average people. But, they usually ignore another activity if they have focused on a certain activity. In other words, they cannot do some activities at the same time.

They look cheerful, enthusiastic, and bright. But, they are actually not like their appearances. Indeed, they are antisocial with many people. They are rugged individualists who are straightforward and like to do things their own way. Unluckily, their insistence on being independent can sometimes go too far and become a weakness.

Blood type O

People with blood type O usually have a big role in motivating the passion of their groups and stimulating the harmonious relationship among the group members. They look like people who accept and do something calmly.

They are smart to cover up their feelings, so they look like people who are always cheerful, peaceful, and do not have problem at all. But, if they cannot bear it, they will surely find out a place or someone to talk.

They are kind, often do kindness, and are not reluctant to get out of their money to other people. They are actually stubborn too and have their own opinions about anything in confidence, but they are also flexible and easily accept new things. No wonder that they lean to be influenced easily by other people. Look like people who are temperate and believable, but they also often make big mistakes because of their careless characteristic. However, their characteristics make them lovable.

Blood type AB

People with blood type AB have sensitive and soft feeling. They have profound interests with other people's feelings and always face other people with care and beware. However, they also tough with themselves and people close to them. Thus, they lean to have two personalities.

They are usually grudge people and think something too deep. Fortunately, they have a lot of friends, but they also need time to be lonely to think their own problems.

Pressure cookers have experienced renewed popularity over the last several years because cooks have rediscovered what some cooks (particularly grandmas) have known for a long time--they're really fast. And it's easy to cook healthfully with pressure cookers, since the food retains so much more of its nutrients and flavor. Presto's 8-quart pressure cooker is a multi-purpose pot that can stand in as a conventional soup pot as well as perform the kitchen magic that pressure cookers are famous for. Chicken Cacciatore cooks in 8 minutes! And it's big enough for home canning, too.

This durable, polished-aluminum pressure cooker is an economical addition to any well-rounded set of kitchen tools.

In addition to a pop-up pressure indicator and a simple steam release mechanism, there is an overpressure plug that will let off steam if it builds up excessively. This pressure cooker is useful for weeknight dinners or for any meal that needs to come together quickly. An accompanying booklet contains more than 65 recipes, ranging from basic soup stocks to stews and pot roast--even desserts like Oatmeal-Apple Crisp! Tenderize lean cuts of beef or pork; or cook chicken, fish, or vegetables faster than you can in a microwave, and without losing moisture.

The Presto 8-quart aluminum pressure cooker is fully immersible; in addition, the sealing ring should be removed after each use to allow cleaning of the inside rim of the lid. The vent pipe is simple to keep clean with a small brush or pipe cleaner, and both the air vent/cover lock and the overpressure plug are removable. The pressure cooker measures 11-1/2 inches in diameter (17 inches including handles) and 9 inches tall (including lid). Presto guarantees this pressure cooker with an extended 12-year warranty. A detailed instruction and recipe booklet is included; special safety issues that pertain to pressure cookers are clearly explained. --Garland Withers

Grandma's Canned Sausage

During the canning season I can often recall that my grandmother used to take and can sausage patties. She would take fresh made patties and stack them neatly inside a wide mouth jar and then fill the container full of hot sausage grease. She would then place the lids securely on them, turn them upside down to seal and she was done. How I remember going to the food closet and seeing dozens upon dozens of jars carefully stacked upside down. It seems that in those days it was customary to place the jars upside down to ensure a good seal.

Pressure Canner

Over the years as I grew up and investigated the art of canning on my own I discovered there are two major ways to can sausage. You can form and bake the patties until they are firm similar to the way my grandmother did it or you can fry the sausage up and let it crumble and then fill your jars up.

Pressure Canner

With the second way you would fry some of the sausage until it started to separate into small pieces and then can these pieces for use in gravies or casseroles. Here are some tips to follow when attempting this on your own.

You should omit any use of sage from your recipe if you decide to mix your own sausage. When canning your sausage the sage will tend to make it taste bitter. I generally use very little herbs and spices in my mix and that also includes the use of my favorites such as garlic or onions as they will actually become stronger tasting when your product is canned. Instead you could use a little bit of hot red pepper, salt, black pepper, some thyme or perhaps a bit of marjoram to season the sausage that you plan to can.

When selecting the meat make certain to choose 2/3 of lean meat to about 1/3 fat in order to make the best canned sausage that you can. You would can your sausage in the same manner as you would ground meat except that you will make small patties and cook it until it's very well done.

Unlike ground beef you can use the fat from cooking the sausage to actual can it in. Be certain not to fill the jar too full, 2/3 full is plenty enough for it. Pour the grease in and make sure that it covers the sausages. You may wish to melt some extra lard to use for covering the sausages in the jar. Keep the lard or grease very hot while it is waiting to be poured into the jar.

Lastly, you will want to adjust the lids onto the jars and place then into a pressure canner set for 10 pounds of pressure. For pint jars cook for 75 minutes and quarts for 90 minutes.

The Effects of Compensation on Employees Work Performance

HRM strives to achieve organizational goals and the goals of employees through effective personnel programs policies and procedures. Successful performances of the personnel function can greatly enhance the bottom line of any organization. The personnel practitioners however are challenged more today than at any time in the history by a changing and more demanding labor force that has high expectation about the work place. At the same time, rapidly advancing technologies and outside influences are changing the nature of our jobs. It is thus more critical and more difficult to maintain a work environment that motivates and satisfies Human Resources.
 
Edward flippo states: "personnel management is the planning, organizing, directing and controlling of the procurement, development compensation, integration, maintenance and separation of human resources to the end that individual, organizational and societal objectives are accomplished."
 
According to Wayne. F. Cascio "Compensation which includes direct cash payment, indirect payments in the form of employee benefits and incentives to motivate employees to strive for higher levels of productivity is a critical component of the employment relationship. Compensation affected by forces as diverse as labor market factors. Collective bargaining, government legislation and top management philosophy regarding pay and benefits"     

Pressure Canner

Compensation may be defined as money received for the performance of work plus many kind of benefits and services that organizations provide their employee.

Pressure Canner

Compensation is recompense, reward, wage or salary given by an organization to persons or a group of persons in return to a work done, services rendered, or a contribution made towards the accomplishment of organizational goals. Wage, dearness allowance, bonus and other allowance are examples of monetary compensation, while good accommodation, children education, transport facilities, subsidized ration of essential commodities, etc. come under non-monetary compensation. In short, wage paid to collar workers or salaries paid to white collar employee can be classified as compensation.

A good compensation package is a good motivator. Hence, the primary responsibility of the HR manager is to ensure that the company's employees are well paid.

OBJECTIVES OF COMPENSATION:

To attract capable applicants. To retain current employee so that they don't quit. The employee is motivated for better performance. Reward desired behavior. To ensure equity. To control cost.Facilitate easy understanding by all i.e. employee operating manager and HR personnel

BASIC COMPENSATION
 
WAGE:
The remuneration paid, for the service of labour in production, periodically to an employee/worker. Wages means any economic compensation paid by the employer under some contract to his workers for the services rendered by them. Usually refer to the hourly rate paid to such groups as production and maintenance employees' wages include family allowance, relief, pay, financial support etc.

SALARY:
Salary is influenced by the size of a company by the specific industry, and in part by the contribution of the incumbent to the process of decision-making. Salary refers to the weekly or monthly rates paid to clerical, administrative and professional employees. Salary is determined by mutual agreement between the individual and the employer.

INCENTIVE:
An incentive scheme is a plan or programs to motivate industries or group performance. An incentive program is most frequently built on monetary, but may also include a variety of non- monetary rewards or prizes.

DETERMINATS
The effective use of incentives depends on three variables. They are:
1. The individual.
2. The work situation.
3. The incentive plan.

Factors influencing compensation:
1. Organization's capacity to pay
2. Prevailing pay and benefits in the industry:
3. Compensation in the industry and availability of special competent personnel
4. Flexibility, i.e. kind of competencies and abilities in managers:
5. Performance/productivity/responsibilities of individual.
6. Organization philosophy such as to be leader or pay prevailing rates.
7. Qualifications and relevant experience.
8. Stability of employment and advancement opportunities.  
 
"Compensation literally means to counterbalance to offset, and to make up for. It implies an exchange. Compensation translates into different meaning among countries and even overtime".

Society View:
According to G.T Milkovich and bloom "perception of compensation differ within countries as well. Some in society may see pay difference as a measure of justice.
 
Stockholder View:
To stockholder, executive's pay is of special interest. In united state stock option are commonly believed to tie pay of executives to the financing performance of the company.
 
Employees:
Employee may see compensation as an exchange of service rendered or as a reward for a job well done. Compensation to some reflects the value for their personal skills and abilities, or the return for the education training they have acquired. The pay individual receive for the work they perform is usually the major source of personal income and financial security and hence a vital determinants of an individual economic and social well being.
 
Managers:
Managers also have a stake in compensation: it directly influences their success in two ways. First it is a major expense competitive pressure both internationally and domestically, forces managers to consider the affordability of their compensation decisions. Studies show that many enterprises labor costs account for more than 50% of total costs. Among some industries, such as service or public employment, this figure is even higher.

In addition to treating pay as an expense, a manager also treats compensation as a possible influence on employee work attitude and behavior and their organization performance. The way the people are paid affects the quality of their work, their focus on customer needs, and their willingness to be flexible and learn new skills, to suggest innovation and improvement, and even their interest in union or legal action against their employer. 
 
FORMS OF PAY

Total compensation includes pay received directly as cash (e.g., base wage, merit increases, incentives, and cost of living adjustment) or indirectly through benefits and services (e.g., pensions, health insurance, paid time off). Programs that distribute compensation to employees can be designed in an unlimited number of ways, and a single employer typically uses more than one program. The major categories of compensation include base wage, merit pay, short and long term incentives, and employee benefits and services.

Base wage
Base wage is the basic cash compensation that an employer pays for the work performed. Base wage tends to reflect the value of the work or skills and generally ignores difference attributable to individual employees. Some pay systems set base wage as a function of the skill or education an employee possesses; this is common for engineers and scientists. Periodic adjustments to base wages may be made on the basis of change in the overall cost of living or inflation, changes in what other employers are paying for the same work, or changes in experience/ performance/ skills of employees.

Incentives
Incentives also tie pay directly to performance. Sometimes referred to as variable compensation, incentives may be long or short term, and can be tied to the performance of an individual employee, a team of employees, combination of individuals, team of employees, a total business unit, or some combination of individuals, teamed unit. Performance objectives may be defined as cost savings, volume produced, quality standards met, revenues, return on investments or increased profits; the possibilities are endless.   

Long-term incentives are intended to focus employee efforts on multi year result. Top managers or professionals are often offered stock ownership or bonuses to focus on long-term organizational objectives such return on investments, market share, return on net assets and the like. Coca-Cola grants shares of stock to selected "key contributors" who make outstanding contribution to the firm's success. Microsoft, Pepsi, Wal Mart and Proctor & Gamble offer stock options to all their employees. These companies believe that having a stake in the company supports a culture of ownership. Employees will behave like owners. 

Incentives and merit pay differs. Although both may influence performance, incentives do so by offering pay to influence future behavior. Merit on the other hand, recognizes outstanding past performance. The distinction is a matter of timing. Incentives systems are offered prior to the actual performance; merit pay on the other hand, typically is not communicated beforehand. 

The national commission on labor makes the following recommendation with respect to incentives:

(a) The application of incentives schemes has usually to be selected and restricted to industries and occupations where it is possible to measure on an agreed basis, the output of workers or a group of concerned workers and maintain a substantial amount of control over its quality.

(b) Incentive schemes have to embrace as many employees of an enterprise as possible and need not be limited only to operative or direct workers.

(c) A careful selection of occupations should be made for launching incentives scheme with the help of work-study teams commanding the confidence of both the employer and employees. The incentive scheme is required to be simple so that the workers are able to understand its full implications. The employers need to ensure that external factors such as non-availability of raw material and components, transport difficulties and accumulation of stock do not exert an unfavorable impact on incentive schemes.
 
(d)   Production has to be organized in such a way, which does not provide incentive wage on one day, and unemployment on the other day- there should be a provision of the fullback wage as a safeguard against it.

(e)    According to Subramaniam, there are several prerequisites to the effective installation and operation of payment system:

a.) It should be developed and introduced with the involvement of the workers concerned in a harmonious climate of industrial relations.
b) Work-study precedes the installation of incentive programs.
c) The wage structure should be rationalized on the basis of job evaluation before devising an incentive plan.
d) The objective to be accomplished through incentives should be defined and accordingly, an attempt should be made to select a scheme, which is most suitable to accomplish them.

BENEFITS & SERVICES

The fringe benefit systems purported to develop a climate for healthy employer-employee relationship, minimize excessive labor turnover costs and provide a feeling of individual security against hazards and problems of life with a view to eventually enhancing employee loyalty to the company and improving productivity.

M.Chandra lucidly describes fringe benefits provided by the employers to their employees under the statutory provision or on a voluntary basis. The social services provided under the factories Act, 1948, in the manufacturing industries include canteen, rest shelters, creche, storage or lockers, sitting arrangement, bathing and washing facilities and appointment of welfare officers, etc. other benefits include festival, year-end profit sharing, attendance and production bonuses, protective equipment's, free supply of food items on concessional rates. Social security system provides benefits such as provident fund, employees state insurance (ESI) scheme, retrenchment compensation, employment injury compensation, maternity benefits, gratuity, pension, dependent allowance and contribution toward pension and gratuity claims.

In addition, other facilities enjoyed by the workers include medical and health care, restaurants, cooperative credit societies and consumer stores, company housing, house rent allowance. Recreational and cultural services, clubs, cash assistance. Some employers also provide education, transport facilities and conveyance allowance.

Laxmi Narain points that fringe benefits are an integral part of the reward system in the public sector undertaking and relate to management motivation similar to basic compensation.

10 Spy Tricks: An Office Espionage Series

I spend a great deal of my time dealing with highly sensitive, highly confidential information. Over the years I have noticed that many of the institutions I have worked with have gone to great pains and considerable expense to make certain their computer systems have state of the art firewalls and "hacker-proof" encoding systems. Nonetheless, they continue to leak data like a sieve!

Pressure Canner

How can this be? Simple, they are guarding the air conditioner duct instead of the front door.

Pressure Canner

So, what do I know about it? My knowledge of the field is pretty backdoor in nature.

First of all, I work a lot with people who love nothing more than to stir up hate and discontent wherever they go. They will intentionally uncover and publish sensitive information. It is fun for them. In order to find out why they do these things I do a lot of debriefing with them when an incident occurs.

Second, I have two brothers who made carriers out of law enforcement. One of my brothers served many years as a state trooper and another as a sheriff's deputy. They were both extremely successful in the investigation facet of the job and I am about to tell you why. Then you can see if you are vulnerable to the same kind of attack.

The sources of data loss, in no particular order, are as follows.

1. Waste Archeology.
Simply speaking, someone who really wants to know your secrets will go through your trash. And guess what? It is completely legal. Buy a .00 shredder, and use it.

2. Taps.
Seriously, if you have a wireless system it is pretty simple to eaves drop via laptop from the coffee shop next door.

3. Pop-ins.
Be extremely wary of maintenance crews and repair staff you haven't called in. Check ID's. Also, be aware of someone who comes in asking a lot of questions. You may be surprised what the reception staff will tell someone who smiles and asks nicely.

4. Hacking in.
Do you know the easiest way to hack in to a secure system? Steal the password taped to the computer screen at Ed's work station. Trust me, I see it every day. You know what else? Most people use the same password for every system they need to access.

5. Cordless phones.
Remember most cordless phones and cells are basically fancy radios. If it puts out a signal, the signal can be picked up with a scanner.

6. Ticking bombs.
Answering machines, voice mail, fax machines anything that requires an access code can be beaten (remember the password taped to the computer?).

7. Starbucks.
Never discuss sensitive information in a public restaurant! If I wanted to know about a corporations business, I go to the snack bar at lunch and read the paper over coffee. You won't believe the things you hear (if you're in education, teacher lounges are hair raising!).

8. Brain cramps.
Unlocked cabinets, offices, desks, paper work left out, answering stupid questions over the phone. Hello?

9. Traitors.
Face it, some folks will sell you out for the right price. The right price might be as simple as someone asking, "So, what confidential things are you working on these days?" You really wouldn't believe what people have told me in answer to that question. Keep sensitive information on a need to know basis.

10. Describing a spy.
The typical spy is a short, fat, tall, thin man, with curly, bald hair. She often wears provocatively conservative clothing and is liberally conservative. In other words, ANYBODY is the typical spy.

Now I will expound upon each section individually.

Part 1

One of the first areas I mentioned in breaches in security was "rifled" trash. I believe this to be foremost method of stealing confidential information. In reality it isn't even stealing. In California Versus Greenwood the Supreme Court held the Constitution does not prohibit warrant less search and seizure of garbage left for collection outside the curtilage (the enclosed area immediately surrounding a home or dwelling) of a home. This could include places of business.

Here are some pro-active steps you can take.

1. Don't transfer confidential documents to recycling vendors.

2. If you have a copier, install a shredder next to it.

3. Purchase a cross-cut shredder for extremely sensitive documents.

4. Destroy all waste paper.

5. Get shredders for each individual. People won't wait in line to use a bulk shredder.

6. DON'T KEEP CARDBOARD BOXES OF UNINVENTORIED OLD DOCUMENTS LYING AROUND.

Part II.

Remember, James Bond is not interested in your secrets.

That being said, competitors, disgruntled employees, ex-spouses and other wreakers of havoc are interested in your secrets.

There are many methods of "bugging" out there.

The five main categories are, in alphabetical order: Acoustic, Optical, RF, Tie-In, and Ultrasonic.

1. Acoustic - low tech glass to the wall, ventilation, electrical out-let, out side the window, stand by the door, close proximity listening.

2. Optical - high end and expensive.

3. RF - radio frequency and receiver devices.

4. Tie-in - hooking directly in to a phone line. The box is usually easily accessible on an exterior wall.

5. Ultrasonic - think transmitter, receiver but with audio pressure rather than radio waves.

The most prevalent and dangerous of this is alphabetically and most destructively listed first. Always be aware of your immediate surrounding when discussing confidential information.

Part III

Always check the identification of persons who pop in to do technical work around your office. This is especially true if you PERSONALLY have not called them for service. These folks are known as "spooks".

You see, "Spooking" is a hide in plain site method of gaining access to confidential information

It seems carrying a clipboard will gain a spook access to most places, even those with confidential data to protect.

But, there are other common tools the spook may carry to increase their appearance of authenticity: 2-way Radio, Maglight, Construction worker hard hat, and my personal favorite the attention tone cell phone. Now, this particular ruse means the spook has a partner but is anything more impressive than that tone from the "base office" checking the technicians' status?

However, the most powerful, by far, access granting technique (I mean this will get you in anywhere) is a set of Dickies. Yes, Dickies. The same things you wore for summer jobs in high school and college. They are a virtual cloak of invisibility in our culture.

Most common guises:

1. Telephone/communications technicians - (typically wearing blue/grey Dickies)

2. Computer service technicians - (polo shirt and tan Dickies pants)

3. Copy machine technicians - (polo shirt and blue Dickies pants)

4. Custodians - (typically anyone with a set of blue/grey Dickies is granted cart blanche access)

5. Messenger services - (typically wearing brown Dickies)

6. A/C heating technicians - (typically wearing blue-green Dickies)

The beauty of this type of "spooking" is nobody ever challenges these folks. And if some particularly diligent person does question them, the spook goes into his, "fine with me, but it will be at least four weeks until I can get back here. We're really backed up." That is usually enough to intimidate even the most on top of things staff member.

I don't usually recommend testing out these surveillance techniques, the power of the Tricky Dickie is not to be believed unless you actually see it in action. So, get your lazy brother-in-law a set of Dickies and send him through your office. You won't believe the results. Afterwards, get the lazy bum to do your yard work so you get your moneys worth from the Dickie investment.

Part IV

There are many ways of stealing computer files. As a matter of fact there is a whole niche market dedicated to nothing more than developing and distributing new types of spy ware. Then there is another niche market dedicated to selling protection against these pieces of malware. Folks, I talking millions of dollars each year, connected to these two enterprises. Would it surprise you to know that many of the same people writing the protection software also write the malware?

Any who, how to these insidious pieces of data stealing malware get into your systems? Simple, you or one of your associates, put them there.

I know what you're thinking, "Not me! I would never do such a self destructive thing. Neither would anyone I work with." And, at least intentionally, you're right. But, take look at the most common avenues of entry and think through your response again.

Most Common Sources of Spyware:
1. Screen savers
2. Emoticons
3. Clip Art
4. Spam
5. Email attachments
6. Unprotected web browsing (cookies)
7. Peer to Peer applications (mp3 files)
8. Shareware
9. Freeware
10. Involuntary Download (may present as a fictitious error you must click to correct)
So, have you EVER added any of this to your system, even to an email? I know me too.
Oh well, as MaElla (my grandmother) used to say, "Once bitten, twice shy."

What have we learned?

Basically, don't put anything unverified on your system, even if it is really, really cool.

Bye the way, does anyone know where MaElla got "Once bitten, twice shy"?

Part V

First and foremost, never use a cordless phone for anything other than the convenience of answering a call. Switch to a corded line for any specific communications.

Monitoring cordless and cellular phone calls has become a million dollar hobby in America. Some even sell their monitored conversations on line. Think ex-girlfriend sites.

Mobile phones are an even greater liability. Not only are means available to monitor the conversations, but it is not particularly difficult to track the location of the parties based on their signal. Now, that is scary.

This tracking will become even easier when newer 3G phones come online because their base stations are even closer together.

What can you do?
1. Use a regular line for increased security.
2. Dedicate a secure line in your office for sensitive communication. They are not cheap. Or-Com offers one that has fair reviews for about 0.00.
3. Use first names on non-secure lines.
4. Speak in general terms on non-secure lines.

If you think these precautions a completely paranoid, you may be right. On the other hand, browse Spy Emporium for an overview of just a few of the surveillance devices available.

Part VI.

If you work with confidential data, and you use any of the following pieces of technology, it is just a matter of time until your confidentiality is compromised.

1. Disposable roll fax machines.
Used rolls contain copies of every item the machine has received.

2. Unattended fax machines.
Fax machines left on are excellent sources for stealing confidential data. When I expect a fax, I alert the office staff to put it in a folder in my in-box.

3. Dictation machines.
If you use dictation machines and leave tapes on the secretaries' desk to be transcribed don't be shocked when a tape goes missing (Tell the truth, this has already happened hasn't it?).

5. Answering machines.
Most are accessible with a 3 or 4 digit code. Most people don't change the factory set "3, 4, and 5." These are easy to hack.

6. Cordless microphones.
Crystal clear signals for about 1,300 feet or a quarter mile.

Part VII.

One of the most popular and reliable methods for gathering information from an organization is to "scout the perimeter." Although, this is not as sexy as the "mission impossible" methods, it is very popular and very effective.

Here are your most frequent weak spots.

1. The company lunch room. Many people actually carry confidential files with them to review over lunch.
2. The neighborhood coffee klatch. This is true for the same reason as above.
3. The guy who is always at the newsstand when you pick up your paper. You know the one you discuss current office events with because he doesn't know the people anyway.
4. The chatty new friend your spouse just made. Think about this when discussing business with your spouse.
5. Any off-site meeting places. Luncheon rooms, county offices, etc.

Part VIII

Next to going through the trash, the most vulnerable area for exploitation is the human brain.
The major offenders:
1. Unsecured offices, cabinets, drawers and doors.
2. Files left on the desk over night.
3. Group passwords.
4. Company phone directories.
5. Desktop rolodexes.

Part IX

Another source of compromised confidential information is the office traitor. Most people have a price. The price may have been paid the last time they were insulted, degraded or unappreciated at the office. One the other hand, there may be an actual monetary price for which a trusted associate can be turned.

Here are some of the characteristics you may need to be on the look out for.

1. Those passed over for raises, passed over for promotion.
2. Those experiencing significant financial difficulty.
3. Those who gamble.
4. Those that employ recreational pharmaceuticals (including alcohol).
5. Those involved in labor and management disputes.
6. Those that seem to always be on the lookout for the next big deal.

Part X.

Basically, if you take a look at the qualifications for a field agent for the CIA you can build a fair profile of what an office spy may "look like."

1. A Bachelors Degree, rarely more.
2. Solid academic record, not outstanding.
3. Interest in inter-business and international affairs.
4. Solid interpersonal skills.
5. Solid communication skills.
6. Frequent traveler.
7. Interest in foreign languages.
8. Prior residence outside the area.
9. Possible prior military experience.
10. Experience in business and/or economics (but with deficit skills in their own finance management).
11. The person is usually between the ages of 21-35.
12. Previous work in law enforcement or corrections.
13. May be considered a loner, not a joiner.
14. No police record.
15. Hobbies include martial arts, scuba, hunting, proficiency with firearms, chess, math, avid reader, may write prolifically or play a musical instrument, etc.
16. The person may be interested in training manuals and field guides.

In other words, just about anybody who would make a good employee. The key is to look for unusual groupings of these skills. Most people will meet 3 or 4 of the criteria. Those who meet 6 or more should be considered possible candidates.

This section completes a ten part series concerning confidentiality and security.

  • 11-1/2-quart capacity stockpot-style canner, can hold up to 7 pint jars
  • Black ceramic-on-steel with stain- and odor-resistant surface
  • High efficiency, quick boiling performance
  • Rust-proof aluminum rack included
  • Easy-to-clean, dishwasher-safe


Christmas Sales Granite Ware 11-1/2 Quart Covered Preserving Canner with Rack Overview

Six generations of Americans have been using Granite Ware canners to preserve fruits and vegetables. This mini canner is perfect for preserving jams, jellies and salsa. Holds seven pint jars. Comes with rack for easy lifting jars from canner. Granite Ware's high efficiency, quick boiling performance combined with its modest cost make it ideal for canning. The dark porcelain surface and steel core absorbs energy and evenly distributes heat to the contents. Porcelain enamel is the result of fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between 750 and 850 degrees Celsius. The powder melts and flows and hardens to a durable vitreous coating on a carbon steel core. It creates a smooth, hard finish that won’t burn and resists staining. It’s also non -porous so it won’t trap odors or food particles and provides a low coefficient of friction – meaning that it cleans up easily and, it is corrosion and chemically resistant so it will last a long time. When fired, the vessel is placed on pins so the bottom and sides are hardened during the firing process into one smooth laminated glass surface. You may notice slight pin indentations where the glass has flowed around the pin that supports the base during firing. The pin marks do not compromise the finish or performance of the vessel in any way but you should take additional care in handling if using on glass top stove. 11 1/2qt capacity.

Canning Botulism

There's a recent rise in home canning interest. With that interest has come a surge in concern about home canning safety. Most people are turning to home canning in an effort to make healthier choices for themselves and their families. Making them sick is counterproductive!

Pressure Canner

The truth of the matter is, if you're sloppy about what you're doing, and you don't follow the rules, you create a wonderful environment for problems to occur. However, if you are a conscientious canner who follows USDA approved guidelines, your food borne illness risk is little to none.

Pressure Canner

What is Botulism?
One of the biggest scares in home canning is botulism. Botulism is caused by a bacterium that is literally everywhere. This bacteria isn't the problem, though. It's when the bacteria enters a perfect environment to grow, it creates a toxin. The toxin is what's deadly.

This rare, but often fatal food borne illness grows well in low-acid, moist, air-free environments. The perfect place to grow a batch of botulism is in a jar of improperly canned low-acid food (like meats or vegetables).

One scary thing about botulism is that you can't tell it's there (unless you're in a lab environment and looking for it). The food infected with it won't look or smell any different.

Symptoms of Botulism
After consuming something containing botulism, it typically takes 12-38 hours (but sometimes up to 10 days) for the symptoms to show up. It's important to obtain medical help IMMEDIATELY. Although only about 20-25 cases of botulism happen per year, about 10% of them are fatal. Treating it early is a key to survival.

Some of the symptoms to watch for include: dry mouth, blurred vision, slurred speech, vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty swallowing and respiratory failure.

Safe Canning = Safe Food
The best way to protect yourself and others from home canned botulism is to follow safe canning practices. Here are some things to keep in mind as you can:
1. Follow all the directions religiously. Don't skimp on processing times. Don't alter the recipe unless it says you can.
2. Use only USDA approved recipes. Yes, this means it's not safe to use your great granny's recipe even though she canned it for years and nobody got sick. Canning practices have changed, as more information is available. Stay on the safe side and use safe recipes.
3. Don't alter the acid content of the food you're canning. Acid and heat are the two major defenses against botulism.
4. Use proper hygiene in the kitchen. Make sure all your equipment is clean and your jars properly sterilized.
5. Make sure your jars seal properly after they've been canned. If not sealed, store in the refrigerator and eat soon.
6. Make sure to have your pressure canner checked EVERY year. This is a free service offered in most areas. Check around and see when and where it's offered near you. It's important to know that your gauge and canner seal is working properly.
7. When opening a jar of low-acid food to eat, boil the contents for 20 minutes to help destroy any germs that could be lurking inside.

Don't let the scare of botulism talk you out of doing your own home canning. Just follow proper procedures and use approved recipes. People have been enjoying the benefits of home canned food for years. Do it safely and you can join their ranks!

Can a Full Body Scan (CT/CAT Scan) Save Your Life?

In 2002 Robert Baird walked into Accuscan Health Imaging Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, because of a minor concern about a family history of heart disease and he left minutes later with lifesaving information regarding non-symptomatic problems he was unaware of and had never considered. "Two surgeries later," Baird exclaims, "I have a new lease on life."

Pressure Canner

The two most common causes of death in the United States are cardiovascular disease and cancer, accounting for nearly three out of every four deaths in America. Every 30 seconds an American dies of heart disease while one out of two men and one out of three women will develop cancer, taking a life every 90 seconds.

Pressure Canner

In less than 15 minutes a computed axial tomography (CT or CAT) "full body scan" will screen for the presence of heart disease, various cancers, and other abnormalities. The body CT scan, the most comprehensive screening procedure available anywhere, looks at the heart and lungs and examines the abdomen for life-threatening diseases such as cancer of the major organs, lymphoma and aneurysms. It can also detect benign conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, kidney stones and gall stones. The full body scan may be helpful for those with higher medical risks, such as a family history of cancer or heart disease, current and former smokers, high cholesterol, and anyone with diabetes or high blood pressure.

According to the American Cancer Society most people with lung cancer have no symptoms whatsoever. Currently only 15% of all lung cancers are detected in their early stages. And according to the American Heart Association the first and only warning for most stroke and heart attack victims is the actual onset of a life-threatening crisis. Last year over 650,000 American Adults died of heart disease, and nearly half of those were sudden, undiagnosed deaths.

According to Dr. Wendell A. Gibby, MD, Director of Riverwoods Imaging and Interventional Center in Provo, Utah, and Associate Professor of Radiology at the University of Arizona in Tucson, the full body CT scan provides critical data in identifying abnormalities and diseases in their early stages. "Numerous studies have indicated that early detection of a number of diseases may significantly increase the likelihood of recovery."

The body scan is a simple, fast, and painless procedure. An individual simply lies on a scanner table while high speed 3D images are taken. A radiologist then interprets the scan results to determine if there are any visible abnormalities.

The full body scan looks at the heart and lungs, the abdomen, including the thoracic and abdominal aorta, spleen, adrenal glands, lymph nodes, certain pelvic organs, kidneys, spine, liver, pancreas, and the gall bladder. The scan is designed to detect early or advanced heart disease, vascular disease, tumors of the lung, kidney, and liver, aortic aneurisms, calcified gallstones, calcified kidney stones, and various abnormalities in the abdomen and pelvic regions. Simply stated, a full body CT scan can reveal a lot about the inside of you body and may even save your life.

A full body scan currently costs in the rage of 0 - 0, depending upon geographical location and medical specialization, and does not normally require at doctor's prescription.

Types of Printers

Fundamentally speaking, printers are electronic devices that can fabricate text and graphics onto a paper. They can be primarily divided into categories of being either impact or non impact printers. The first type employs the use of minute wire shaped pins which draw ink from a source and then produce text or an image by actually hitting the paper. On the other hand, non-impact printing devices can produce the same result without actually making contact with the paper. Similarly, we can also make categorization based upon the printing technology employed by certain devices.

Pressure Canner

However, companies have also made available convenient and resourceful products such as a printer scanner. It is basically a device which provides all of the abilities and facilities of both a printer and scanner. Scanner printers are available in different sizes and even provide additional facilities such as faxing. On the other hand, an ink jet printing device employs the methodology of spraying ionized drops of ink onto a piece of paper to produce the desired image. The direction and placement of the ink drops is controlled by magnetic plates within the printer. Such a device has a standard resolution of 300 dots per inch and is available in both grayscale and color.

Pressure Canner

Laser jet and LED/LCD printers produce somewhat the same quality image though the former uses a laser to produce an image on a drum to which charged ink drops attach themselves and are then transferred onto a paper using heat and pressure. LED/LCD uses a light source to achieve the same purpose. LED uses a light emitting diode while the LCD version uses liquid crystals. Such printing devices produce extremely high quality images and documents.

A dot matrix printer is based upon impact technology. It employs a set of evenly spaced pins as well as a band. Both components inherently make contact with the page to produce printed results. Speed and the number of pins primarily determine the quality of these appliances. Pins can vary within a range of 9-24 whereas speed is based upon 50-500 characters per second.

Then there are also portable and digital photo printers. The portable variety describes a device which can be carried around easily and is extremely mobile. They are useful for people who move around a lot and frequently need printing services. On the other hand, digital photo printers basically specialize in producing high quality images. They have extremely high resolution and color depth.

The Wallscanner D-Tect 150 Professional Gives You Power to See Through Walls

It is frustrating to have to measure between studs to find a place you can drill a hole. Tearing your walls out to get a view of the pipes, electrical wiring, or insulation is another nightmare some of us face. So meet the Bosch Wallscanner D-Tect 150 Professional, a tool by Bosch that sees behind walls, floors and ceilings. It's advanced design offers detecting abilities way ahead of its time, ushering in a new era of universal detecting devices. It is not the same as other detectors you might have seen. This tool uses ultra wide band radar detection that is very precise, allowing you to see what's behind that wall, floor or ceiling. Then you won't have to waste your time wondering what it is or tearing up the walls.

Pressure Canner

The Bosch D-Tect 150 Wallscanner Detector will tell you if a material is made of steel or iron. It can detect other types of metal too, even telling you the size of the piece and how deep it is imbedded. The Bosch Wallscanner D-Tect 150 Professional also reveals non-metal items like PVC pipes, wood framing, concrete, sheet rock, and heating ducts.

Pressure Canner

The Bosch Wallscanner D-Tect 150 Professional has a digitized display that reveals to you the characteristics of the substance you scan. It does not have to be calibrated, and it is small enough to be carried around with you to your job sites. Dust and liquids can't hurt the Bosch Wallscanner D-Tect 150 Professional, and it is very handy to have on the job. If there is steel at fifteen centimeters or shallower, this tool will pick it up. A built in calculation device can even tell you how far apart two buried objects are.

It is important when starting on a renovation to get the right equipment, because it is easy to damage important pieces of the house if you are ignorant of the layout and what types of materials you're dealing with. In a renovation project, the Bosch Wallscanner D-Tect 150 Professional could very well pay for itself in saved man hours and material costs. No more cutting into wiring or PVC on accidents. And if you are a plumber or electrician, the Bosch Wallscanner D-Tect 150 Professional can help you do your job better by letting you see your work area before you bust the wall open.

The LEDs on this wall scanner are color coded. Green gives you the go ahead to cut away, because the wall scanner detects nothing that your power tool can cut into or break. Red means slow down and work carefully, because there is something in the path you may damage if you are careless. Red LED going on and off tells you there is a hot cable in the area. This Bosch power tool is a time saver at least, and at best it could save you doing expensive damage to your home. It is well worth the small investment for the knowledge it gives you to do your job correctly and efficiently.

Christmas Sales Fagor Splendid 10-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner Specifications

Pressure cooking uses pressurized steam to cook healthy meals with beans, grains, meat, poultry, and seafood in much less time than many other cooking methods require. Made in Spain, this Splendid pressure cooker holds a maximum capacity of 10 quarts of Italian chicken soup or beans with sausage and works on all heat sources. The cooker is constructed of high-quality 18/10 stainless steel with an encapsulated aluminum base for even and efficient heat distribution. For safety, the pressure cooker has dual pressure settings on its handle--one in a dial control and another on a valve. Other safety measures include two pressure release valves and a locking handle to prevent the unit from opening while under pressure. A visual indicator lets you know when all the pressure has been released and the cooker is ready to open. This pressure cooker is dishwasher-safe and comes with an instruction manual and a recipe book. It carries a 10-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
