  • IN-HOME “Pikle” PARTY TRAINING
    IN-HOME “PiKLE” PARTY TRAINING The following are some suggestions on how to have a successful “In A Pikle” party. Remember to be professional, make new friends and have fun! Before the Party! Make sure you arrive a ½ hour early so you have plenty of time to set up your display, answer last minute questions from your hostess and be ready to welcome your first guest. When the guests arrive encourage them to take a look at your display, grab some food and get ready for a fun night. Display! There are some great examples of displays that people have uploaded on the Pikle Professional page. Keep it simple! IAP has done a great job providing us the tools that make our display look professional. Don’t forget booking boards with your “available party dates” and also lapboards for your guests. Each lapboard should have a wish list, opportunity brochure and monthly customer special. Save the catalogs until the end of your presentation so they focus on you and not the catalog while you are talking. Introduction! Ask your hostess to please have her guests be seated and introduce you so you may begin your presentation. Take a brief moment to thank your hostess and introduce yourself. Ask each guest to introduce themselves and how they know the hostess. “P” is for…Personal Problem Solver! The “In A Pikle” bag is a personal problem solver. *Practical…it looks like a fashionable wallet or clutch but is filled with all kinds of practical items. Every day we have little emergencies (name a few common ones).

  • Plastic Bag Ban Frequently Asked Questions
    PLASTIC BAG BAN FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS BACKGROUND On April 22, 2014, the city council unanimously voted to ban the use of single use plastic bags in Beverly Hills. WHY ARE PLASTIC BAGS BEING BANNED? Plastic bags have detrimental effects to our environment. A single plastic bag can take up to 1,000 years to degrade. Plastic bags are the second-most common type of ocean refuse, after cigarette butts. Plastic bags remain toxic even after they break down. Every square mile of ocean has about 46,000 pieces of plastic floating in it. Plastic bags are difficult to recycle. Less than 5% of the 19 billion (19,000,000,000) plastic bags used annually in California are actually recycled. WHEN DOES THE ORDINANCE GO INTO EFFECT? The plastic bag ban will be carried out in two phases. The First phase of the ordinance went into effect on July 1, 2014. Phase two, which bans plastic bags at small grocery stores, convenience stores, pharmacies, and food markets, will be put into practice on January 1, 2015. WHICH STORES ARE AFFECTED? Only stores selling breads, sodas, snacks, or other convenient items are affected. Phase 1 stores include: Ride Aid (Canon Dr.) Ride Aid (Bedford Dr.) CVS (Wilshire Blvd) Pavilions Whole Foods WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE REUSABLE BAGS? Since the ordinance’s adoption, the city has distributed reusable bags to residents at community events. As part of the ordinance, stores are required to carry inventory of reusable bags, which may be purchased by customers if needed. Stores are also required to sell paper bags for .10 cents each, so remember to bring your reusable bags when you shop! ARE PAPER BAGS STILL HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT? Yes, paper bags still have damaging effects to the environment.

  • Ergonomic Strategies for Using a Purse
    Ergonomic Strategies for Using a Purse Effects of Wearing a Heavy Purse • Heavy purses worn over one shoulder cause uneven weight distribution across the back muscles and may restrict blood flow at the shoulder. • Heavy purses and shoulder straps without padding place extra pressure on the nerves of the neck and shoulders and can result in pain in the neck, shoulders, and lower back. Pain may be described as pins and needles, tingling, stiffness, numbness, or tightness. • Avoid carrying a purse with your thumbs—this might cause excess pressure on the joints in your hands or fingers. Tips for Selecting the Right Purse • Buy different sizes of purses for different occasions. The size of your purse should reflect specific activities: • Short errands—small, compact purse • Long errands—small backpack or knapsack worn around the waist • Avoid heavily loading tote-style bags, which are worn over the shoulder. • Select purses with built-in compartments. This will help to distribute the weight more evenly. • Choose a handbag that is proportionate to your body size and no larger than what is needed. • Avoid selecting purses made of heavy material such as leather, which adds extra weight. Instead, select handbags made of lighter materials, such as microfiber and fabric. • Straps: Avoid thin and long straps; straps should be wide and adjustable. Ensure that pressure caused by the straps does not cause discomfort. Tips for Packing a Purse • Consider the contents of your purse—can you leave some items at home or in your car? • Eliminate unnecessary duplicate contents, such as extra pens and lipsticks.

  • The Tefltastic Janglish – English Dictionary
    The TEFLtastic Janglish – English Dictionary - Updated January 2014 Janglish, more often called Japlish, Japanese English or Wasei Eigo, is used here to mean English words and expressions that are used in Japanese in different ways to British and American English. This is something that has a big impact on how the Japanese communicate in English and on the difficulty of communicating in Japanese. It is of course impossible to have a complete dictionary, if only because new examples are being created all the time, but this list is pretty much complete in the sense of not excluding as it includes: - Japanese words and expressions made from English words and affixes - Words and expressions that have different, more restricted or more wide-ranging meanings in Japanese - Japanese abbreviations of English words and expressions - Some slang, old-fashioned, jargon and written forms that might not be recognised by the majority of Japanese - Irregular pronunciation changes - Words from other languages that Japanese sometimes assume to be English - Some rude words The biggest group that has been excluded is words and expressions that have different pronunciation in Japanese than in English in predictable ways, as the 5000 or so words that would include would overwhelm the more interesting and/ or troublesome examples given here without adding much to the guide to typical pronunciation changes I wrote here: http://edition.tefl.net/articles/home-abroad/japanese-english-pronunciation-chan ges/. As it is there are over 1100 examples here, making it much more comprehensive than many of the English-language guides to this point that you can pay good money for.
