Book Review for "A Christmas Gift"

Book Review for: A Christmas Wish Written by: Diane Craver Whimsical Publishing ISBN: 978-1-936167-33-3 Available in Print & eBook 5 Stars

"A Christmas Gift" embodies the feel-good atmosphere of the season that will tug on your heartstrings. Seven year-old Debra Reeves is a precocious young girl who makes a surprising discovery regarding her father. Will that discovery inspire or hinder her father's determination?

The story is set in 1957 in a small town called Finley, Ohio. The Reeves run a farm. Debby is the youngest daughter. There's Kathy who is fourteen, Gail who is in her twenties, and Carl is twenty-one. Debby's parents are in their fifties. They're a hard working couple. The community is small, but supportive of each other.

Debby's family is close. One night when Debbie gets up, she discovers her father is in the kitchen, copying off her reader. She stays hidden, but realizes her father doesn't know how to read.

Debby wants to help her father, but is unsure what to do. After careful consideration, she confides in her sisters, Gail and Kathy. After talking to their mother, she confirms Debby's father can't read.

Debby prays to God. Her heartfelt prayers seem answered when a handsome young teacher comes to town. His name is James. After meeting James, Debby is convinced he's a perfect fit for her family.

Bravely, Debby confronts her father about his inability to read, and encourages him to accept James help. Does Debby's father have the strength and courage to tackle this challenge at this point in his life?

Craver handles this story with a smooth touch and loving caress. "A Christmas Gift" tugs on the reader's heart. There's a veryl strong element of faith and family that shines throughout the novel.

The plot flows organically. The first person narration is well done and Craver captures the voice of a seven-year-old effortlessly, putting the reader right in the scenes next to Debby. Craver's authentic descriptions and dialogue allow the reader to picture Finley, Ohio easily.

The novel's rich characterization is the best part of the story. Debby is warm-hearted, yet a bit mischievous. She's also honest and sincere. Debby's father's determination to overcome a challenge is inspiring, but what I really enjoyed is that the story involves the entire family. I especially liked Gail's story. She has a second change at love, but will she take it? Does Carl possess the conviction to change the course of his life? Will Kathy overcome the handicap of polio?

"A Christmas Gift" is an inspirational fiction. It embodies the hope, faith, love, and joy of the season. An emotional and engaging read!

Learning to Be a Rodeo Clown

While most clowns are there for entertaining kids of all ages at a circus or birthday party, rodeo clowns serve a much different purpose. Sometimes referred to as bullfighters or even protection athletes they are there to distract a bull so the bull rider can escape or be rescued.

Becoming a rodeo clown requires quite a bit of knowledge. First, someone who is interested in this profession needs to be familiar with the types of animals used in a rodeo. Anyone interested can get their feet wet by attending live rodeos and paying attention to what is involved. It is not wise to enter a ring with a bull if you have no idea what to expect and no training. Rodeo clowns learn how to perform their job usually one of two ways: they either go to clown school or learn from an experienced, professional clown. There are schools that provide training in areas such as how to distract a bull, how to tumble and flip to entertain the crowd, and how to dress up like a clown using clothing and makeup. Training from an experienced rodeo clown will most likely happen if you know a clown personally and closely. If the experienced rodeo person does not think you will make the cut then clown school is your only option.

Deciding to become a rodeo clown is not a decision to be taken lightly. There is a real chance that you could get injured or killed in the arena. Typically, these athletes work in teams in order to minimize the risk and provide extra help for other clowns or rodeo professionals that have been injured in the arena.

Why You Should Consider Teleconferencing For Your Business

Business has gone global and there is no stopping it! Teleconferencing is becoming the wave of the future, as more and more people are busy working from home or running their own home business. With our diversity of locations, communication needs have demanded sophisticated solutions. This made teleconferencing products both more popular and more available. You may have never given teleconferences a thought before, but find yourself now looking into available options.

What is Teleconferencing?

Teleconferencing allows two or more people to talk live via a telephone. A teleconference allows people who are thousands of miles apart to connect. They can allow you to participate in a work conference call from home or to hold your own conference call with many people.

How Does Teleconferencing Work?

There are different ways to use teleconferencing services. You can choose either to purchase your own equipment or to pay for the use of equipment through a teleconferencing provider. There are advantages and disadvantages to both options. Either way, you will be able to contact two from two to literally thousands of other people at the same time, depending on your service.

What Services do Teleconference Providers Offer?

A simple three-way calling service is available through most local phone companies. Sound quality may not be the best and limitations apply. You probably cannot include overseas numbers and are limited to certain regional or national locations.

If you are interested in a teleconference system, you probably want to include more than two other people. The following is a list of common services available through many teleconferencing providers:

Pay Per Use Conference Call Pricing

Teleconferencing companies offer this service for users whose calling needs vary from month to month. With "Pay Per Use" plans you can get a low per-minute rate as long as you only use a specified amount of minutes each month. If you fail to use all of your minutes, you may be charged for the full amount anyway.

"Minutes" Conference Call Pricing

This plan is comparable to the "Pay Per Use" plan, but the rate per minute is different than with a "Pay Per Use" plan. Different providers offer different rates, but they are usually lower than with the "Pay Per Use" plan; these plans usually have from 500 to 12,000 monthly minutes. If you exceed your limit, you will be charged extra.

Flat Rate Conference Call Pricing

Each month, you are charged a "flat rate," regardless of minutes used. If you hold many conference calls or have many callers on with you, a flat rate plan may be the best choice. Of course, as with any contract, remember to read the fine print.

Teleconferencing Pros

1. Easy communication over long distances

2. Ability to relay information to many people at one time

3. No need to fly overseas to address a business partner or hold a meeting

4. Take control of your business needs

Teleconference Cons

1. No face to face contact

2. Service can be lacking if with the wrong provider

3. Fees can be substantial

How to Choose the Best Service for Your Needs

Are you operating a large business that has extensive teleconferencing needs? You may want to look at purchasing the equipment and software needed to host your own teleconferencing. You will have greater control over teleconferencing needs and options.

Do you run a home business that has weekly or nightly meetings via the telephone? Most likely, you will not want to purchase equipment, since you would be responsible for servicing it also.

A few things to keep in mind are:

Are participants coming from different countries?

Do you need help from an operator to moderate the call?

Look at plan specifics with the company you are interested in and make sure that you read the fine print!

With many companies growing in size or becoming more multinational, there is a greater need for teleconferencing. The teleconference can allow you to share information when used properly. For instance, it can allow an individual to call into a large meeting and provide updates and field questions from attendees at a convention or stockholders meeting.

Social Media to Enhance Internal Communication and Increase Engagement With Employees

Most business leaders accept that with external customers they are talking to audiences with audiences, that feedback needs to be sought out, and that transparency and real-time discussion has value. Many also use social media tools for external recruitment. Social media enhances that external communication. It's time for all to apply that reality to their critically important internal audience as well -- employees.

Leading edge companies use social media to enhance employee engagement Companies that are on the leading edge of technology already use social media in various ways to enhance employee engagement. Best Buy, for example, integrated an internal social networking site with many components aimed at increasing employee communication and collaboration. Blogs, wikis, social platforms, intranets, and even instant messaging are components used by leading edge companies like Best Buy, British Telecon, Cisco, and more.

Corporate culture is key to results The strength of social media tools is their ability to enable connections, foster collaboration, and speed up the sharing of information. However there's no magic bullet and no guarantee of success with a focus on tools alone.

Employees respond well to social media tools when they complement existing positive ways of communicating. These tools can then drive increased interaction, connection, collaboration, innovation, and conversation - attributes of an engaged workforce which can result in a positive external image, increased employee retention, and improvements in the business itself.

If the corporate culture inadvertently works against creativity, innovation, and collaboration and doesn't recognize the value of feedback, then social tools alone are not going to change that.

However, just as most employees want to be engaged in their work, most leaders want the benefits that creativity, innovation, and collaboration can bring to their businesses.

Using social media tools - some examples The examples below illustrate how companies use tools to enhance or add value to the face-to-face experience. Some use commercially available software or applications; others build their own applications to support increased internal security or control.

Blogs Companies often begin internal blogs as a way to streamline communication to employees; some soon realize the benefit of blogs to also receive information from employees and to engage employees in discussion with each other on topics of interest. Used properly, these discussions can provide management with insight into what employees are thinking.

Some companies establish the blogs and content guidelines, a few allow the creation of personal blogs, all have the capacity to increase employee interaction.

"Micro-blogs, instant messaging, profiles, and wikis It's not unusual for companies to experiment with various other tools that are commercially available or based on commercially available tools. Micro-blogging capabilities (think Twitter) and instant messaging (similar to texting) provide outlets for employees who are used to communicating with these tools in their personal lives.

Some companies enable employees to create "profiles" about themselves, to include a degree of personal information, subject expertise, projects being worked on, publications, and other information (think Facebook and similar tools). Especially when integrated into a broader internal social network, such information can aid employees in finding colleagues to help with work-related projects.

Wikis are often created to enhance lessons-learned and to draw upon and save the collective knowledge of many people on any given topic. When well-utilized, wikis are a "crowd-sourced" tool for internal knowledge management.

Discussion forums Online discussion forums are another tool for supporting online collaboration, especially useful to enable collaboration across departmental and geographic boundaries. In addition to allowing healthy venting and enabling employees to post questions for which they need answers, this venue for broad collaboration can also result in productive solutions to business problems.

Internal social networking sites Some companies develop internal websites that pull different social media tools together to support a virtual community of employees. In Addition to making it easier for employees to access and use the various tools, these sites sometimes incorporate "relevance" algorithms that search across employee profiles, blog posts, and other data to identify other people who have expressed an interest or expertise in a given topic. This can help increase collaboration, communication, and problem-solving.

Tap the brilliance There is brilliance within each employee. Social media tools can help leaders tap that brilliance to contribute significantly to the success of the business and to build a highly engaged workforce. Who wouldn't want that?

Get Your Out-Of-Control Teen Under Control With Technology!

Teenagers are at a stage in their lives when they are making the difficult transition from being the center of the universe to realizing they are one individual in a big world of people. Add all the hormones and changes that go with puberty and you end up with a very volatile and complex personality. It is a difficult stage for those going through it, as well as for those who parent them. No wonder so many parents struggle with their previously well behaved children who seemingly overnight have become obnoxious and hard to handle. Teens and parents can make it through this stage, however, with the right structure and discipline.

With teenagers, successful parenting is as much about steering away from types of discipline that are ineffective as it is targeting areas that provide the most effect. Spanking, for instance, is not effective on teenagers. That shocks a lot of people, but it is simply a fact, so let me explain. As a parent, you are trying to eliminate bad behavior. You do that with negative reinforcement or negative consequences. So at first thought, you might think, "what can be more negative than having your bottom whacked?" The answer is, a lot of things! If you could get an honest polling from teenagers, I think you would find that most would immediately pick spanking as their preferred punishment. Why? Well, if you're a teenager, a lot of things make it the best choice. By the time teenagers have reached their teen years, they have learned many tools to get what they want. Manipulation is one of them. In fact, by the teen years, they have learned manipulation so well that they have it down to a fine art.

We all did it in some form or other. We were all young once. It is all age appropriate, normal and expected and someday, just like us, they will grow out of it. But for now, that sting on their bottom makes them feel like a 'martyr for the cause!' It is short and sweet. It makes parents feel bad and teenagers love that guilt! Guilt, whether a parent admits they feel it or not, is almost impossible to hide from a teenager who knows your every button. And, if your teenager is lucky, and they usually are, you will goof and leave a mark. Teenagers love those marks and bruises! You can bet that regardless of how faint it might be, they will get more mileage out of it then you ever thought possible by showing all their friends and retelling the story over and over again. And when, as a teenager, did you or I ever let the truth stand in the way of a really good story?

An even worse case scenario is the 'mark' making its way to the eyes of the school counselor or other adult, who by law must report to child protective services. Once accepted, by law child protective services must conduct an investigation. Things can get complicated in a hurry and all of this is gravy to a martyred teenager who feels unfairly disciplined. And to date, I've never met a teenager who didn't feel unfairly disciplined regardless of what they did. It is a simple fact- spanking is not negative reinforcement to a teenager. They love the drama! So why give it to them? Why put yourself through that? Why not use something that works?

The good news is that we are fortunate to live in a time when highly effective tools for parenting teenagers are available that were not available to our parents. I'm talking about tech toys! You got to love today's tech toys! You want a discipline that is highly effective at curbing misbehavior? One that is not short and sweet? Take away their tech toys! Now you have their attention! None of the beloved melodrama! No guilt trip to pull on Mom or Dad! No trip through the honorable world of martyrdom! Just an unmistakable message that "this behavior will not be tolerated".

Electronic games are a perfect choice for discipline tools. They have no socially redeeming value, in and of themselves, and they are highly addictive. If you have a teenager who is into soccer or scouts, for instance, those activities are teaching important values while being fun. To ground a teenager from those activities deprives them of the very things you are trying to teach, such as socializing skills, self-confidence, sportsmanship, commitment, exercise, etc. Electronic games, on the other hand, rarely provide such skills and are perfect to use to 'guide' a child and their behavior in the right direction. Best of all, tech games are just the tip of the iceberg. Today's tech toys provide a smorgas board of useful parenting tools that can be temporarily removed to 'guide' your teenager along the correct path, e.g., the ipad, ipod, iphone, computer, Wii, DS, DSI, etc.

All of these wonderfully addictive toys are guaranteed to bring on a severe case of separation anxiety and grab a teenager's attention. Of course, the 'removal time' of the tech toys must be reasonable to be effective. A couple of days to a couple of weeks, depending on the offense, is plenty to get your message across. As always, consistency is still critical as a parent must be careful to never give in until the designated removal time is over.
