The telephone? E-mail? Online forums? Reports and accounts? A receptionist? All these could be examples of business communications - it is a very big area. Businesses also know that they communicate with us in very subtle ways - sometimes the business might not even know what it is communicating! Other times, the business communicates in ways that it really does not want to. If this all sounds a bit like a riddle, then you are right - we need to look in a little more detail at what business communication is all about. Communication in today‘s business place has become more complex, with the introduction of technology presenting both opportunities and challenges. Robust organizations demand effective communicators that can effectively manage business and organizational changes, concerns or events using technological as well as traditional means. Business Communication: communication used to promote a product, service, or organization; relay information within the business; or deal with legal and similar issues.

  • I a Transvestite by Georgette W
    Purpose of Transvestia The customs and attitudes of our society while recog­ nizing and allowing great freedom to the female in the expression of the masculine side of her personality are largely blind to and repressive toward the male who dis­ covers the feminine aspect of his total self. Feminine expression in the male does not irrply sexual deviation. This magazine is dedicated to the needs of the sexually normal individual who has discovered the existance of his or her ” other side” and seeks to express it. TRANSVESTIA, therefore is published by, for, and about transvestites to provide them with: ENTERTAIN ME NT--EDUCATION-- EX PRESS ION by means of fiction, articles of opinion, true experiences etc. It's purpose is to help it's readers to promote: UNDERSTANDING--ACCEPTANCE--PEACE OF MIND 11 *s policy is to limit its scope of coverage and interest to the field of the hetrosexual transvestite. Without condemnation or judgement of any kind the fields of homosexuality, bondage, punishment, fetishism and domination are left to others to develop. TRANSVESTIA has, and will continue to serve as a means of gathering information in its chosen field and to aid, by any means available, the dissemination of know­ ledge of the field to further the understanding of it by psychiatrists, psychologists, sociologists, lawyers, jur­ ists and police officials. Loneliness, fear and self condemnation have too long been the lot of the transvestite. It is hoped that TRANS­ VESTIA can, through knowledge and sharing with others, bring self acceptance and happiness. ft**##«*###«*####** "When you make the two one.

  • Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability Towards a Toxic-Free Environment
    EUROPEAN COMMISSION Brussels, 14.10.2020 COM(2020) 667 final COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT, THE COUNCIL, THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COMMITTEE AND THE COMMITTEE OF THE REGIONS Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability Towards a Toxic-Free Environment {SWD(2020) 225 final} - {SWD(2020) 247 final} - {SWD(2020) 248 final} - {SWD(2020) 249 final} - {SWD(2020) 250 final} - {SWD(2020) 251 final} EN EN 1. SUSTAINABLE CHEMICALS FOR THE GREEN AND DIGITAL TRANSITION The European Green Deal1, European Union’s new growth strategy, has set the EU on a course to become a sustainable climate neutral and circular economy by 2050. It has also set a goal to protect better human health and the environment as part of an ambitious approach to tackle pollution from all sources and move towards a toxic-free environment. Chemicals are everywhere in our daily life and play a fundamental role in most of our activities, as they form part of virtually every device we use to ensure our well-being, protect our health and security, and meet new challenges through innovation. Chemicals are also the building blocks of low-carbon, zero pollution and energy- and resource-efficient technologies, materials and products. The increased investment and innovative capacity of the chemicals industry to provide safe and sustainable chemicals will be vital to offer new solutions and support both the green and the digital transitions of our economy and society. At the same time, chemicals with hazardous properties can cause harm to human health and the environment. While not all hazardous chemicals raise the same concerns, certain chemicals cause cancers, affect the immune, respiratory, endocrine, reproductive and cardiovascular systems, weaken human resilience and capacity to respond to vaccines2 and increase vulnerability to diseases3.
