Stress at Work in the UK

By Julian Hall There can be much unhappiness, depression ill health and stress which can be brought on by bad working conditions & unfair working practices. In many cases, there are good grounds for claiming compensation for stress at work For example: Unrealistic service levels or deadlines at work causing stress and depression The rise in sexual discrimination can lead to stress and depression at work An unclean work environment stress and depression at work The fear of continual racist abuse causing stress and depression at work Not allowing necessary breaks from work can often cause stress and depression at work Employees who become depressed at work through stress, they deserve to claim compensation What is stress? HSE defines stress as "the adverse reaction people have to excessive pressure or other types of demand placed on them". Pressure is part and parcel of all work and helps to keep us motivated . But excessive pressure can lead to stress which undermines performance, is costly to employers and can make people ill. Why do we need to tackle stress? about half a million people in the UK experience work-related stress at a level they believe is making them ill; up to 5 million people in the UK feel "very" or "extremely" stressed by their work; and a total of 12.8 million working days were lost to stress, depression and anxiety in 2004/5. Employers should look at: developing appropriate and effective policy organising a risk assessment and benchmarking exercise developing appropriate training for managers and staff developing support structures and services as needed Bullying at work can be grounds for compensation There are many more causes of employee stress and depression at work. However there is some good news. You could be entitled to reasonable compensation if you are suffering stress and depression at work or have been forced to resign from work because of undue stress which has led to depression. **************************************************************** If you need advice or would just like to speak to someone, please dont hesitate to give Claims Master Group a call on 08000 71 22 71.

Online Dating Questions Not to Ask - Part 3

By Peter Portero Everyone who meets someone online is excited about getting to know them better. If there is a connection, you want to know right away. You should avoid asking a thousand questions however and stick to general topics at first. If you do start asking questions, even though you are not trying to, you might seem overbearing. You need to be patient and take things slowly. This will ensure that you create a natural environment in which you can evaluate if you have a connection or not. Personal Questions Stay away from asking personal questions. You can ask about your dates family or friends, but dont even think about asking about personal family issues or things like that. Anything personal your date wants to reveal is fine, but dont try to pry. You should seem interested, but not crazy! So, be sure to keep the conversation on personal issues very general. Ask about their job, their favorite things, and what they love to do in their spare time. This will be a good place to start. Physical Questions If you have not met each other yet, you might want to be careful about how many physical questions you ask your online date. You may ask for a photo, but dont try to ask them their weight or height. Anything you cant determine in the photo, you will see for yourself when you meet. If you start asking really in depth physical questions, your date will only think you are shallow. Peter Portero also contributes dating research to a UCLA research study on online matrimonials site called Shaadi Bliss.

What's Love Got To Do With It? Five Do's And Don'ts Women Want Their Men To Know

By Constance Weygandt When women get together and talk about the men in their lives, there are reoccurring themes that usually end with someone saying, "Why do they do that ?" "They", of course, being men in general and their man in particular. For this Valentines Day, I thought I would share five dos and donts that invariably come up in a conversation about men. Do Kiss. This is the number 1 secret that men need to know. Keep It Simple Stupid. It really is the little things, done consistently, that will melt our hearts. Some examples would be: clean out the dishwasher without being asked, make us a cup of coffee or tea in the morning, pick up after us once in awhile. Do not keep a running tally in your brain of what you have done for us. Cooking dinner for us, dressed in a pair of cute boxer shorts, with an expectant look on your face is not exactly subtle, guys. For all the men that have done this, you know who you are. There is nothing that will throw cold water on a hot night faster than having your woman feel she owes you for a simple act of kindness. Do romance us. On Valentines Day, instead of stopping on your way home from work to pick up flowers and a card, go to a florist a few days before. Pick a stem of your girls favorite blossom and have it delivered with a note which reads, "The perfection of this reminded me of you." We like corny, sentimental mush. Do not have your secretary, sister, mother, or God forbid - your girlfriend, pick out a gift for us. I think this one is self-explanatory. Do laugh with us. Women often state, when asked what qualities they look for in a man, "a sense of humor". You are probably thinking that we say that but what we really fantasize about is a hunk and you would be right. However, we will forgive almost anything in a man who makes us laugh. Do not take yourself too seriously. Dont only talk about your work, your needs, your likes and dislikes. Give us equal time to share our dreams with you. Do listen. I know this is a hard one for most men. We are aware that after the first five minutes of conversation, when that glazed look comes over you, that we have lost you. However, we want you to pretend to be interested. If we tell you about a tic that dear Aunt Sally has and our concern that it may be hereditary, make a mental note of it and ask us about it a few days later. You get huge points for this one. Do not tell us that Valentines Day is just another excuse for big business to make money and that you dont feel you should contribute to the commercialization of it. I actually had a male friend who shared this opinion with his wife. The only response I could think of was," Gee. That extra y chromosome doesnt help you much, does it ?" Do buy us jewelry. When all else fails, we like jewelry. It gives us bragging rights. Do not buy us a hammer, toaster or a membership to a gym on Valentines Day. A rule of thumb on this one would be : On Valentines Day, if what you are thinking of buying us has any use at all, dont do it. I hope these little insights into a womans mind are helpful. This Valentines Day try one or two of the dos. Who knows? You may be able to retire those boxer shorts. Constance Weygandt is a speaker, author and balance mentor.

Rock stars

By Karl Giberson Scientists around the world are waiting for a Halloween goodie bag from NASA and unlike Charlie Brown, who would lament that he got a rock these recipients could not possibly be more excited as they anticipate the arrival of their rocks. NASAs rocks are from outer space, collected by the wildly successful Stardust mission, launched seven years ago to gather comet debris. Stardust landed in January in a Utah desert. The capsule visited Comet Wild 2, a relatively recent arrival in the region of our solar system between Mars and Jupiter. In passing near this comet, Stardusts aerogel collectors swept up material being ejected from the comet and brought it back to Earth. It is the most adventurous treasure hunt our species has ever conducted a 2.9 billion-mile odyssey to gather a most impressive treasure. Wild 2 is interesting because until recently it lived in the Kuiper Belt, a vast assemblage of comets orbiting way beyond Pluto, so far from our sun that almost no heat reaches them. In the icy recesses of the Kuiper Belt comets do little more than drift lazily about the sun no long tails stream behind them, carrying away their surface material, erasing the telltale clues to their origins. Astronomers believe that Kuiper Belt comets are perfectly preserved fossils from the early days of our solar system silent, unreachable eyewitnesses to the birth of our cosmic home. Because the Kuiper Belt is so far away, visiting it is out of the question. But Comet Wild 2 got pulled by Jupiters gravity into a much closer orbit, essentially inviting us to meet it halfway, which NASA was only too willing to do. And, because Wild 2 had only been in our neighborhood for a short time, the increased heat from the sun had not had time to melt or otherwise disturb its primordial surface. The rocks embedded in Stardusts aerogel may have a truly interesting story to tell our story of how our solar system came to be. How did our planet get so rich in chemicals, from carbon to uranium, when these are astonishingly rare in our universe, making up a tiny fraction of its matter? Where did the building blocks of life on Earth come from? What kind of star exploded in this part of the Milky Way billions of years ago, creating the disc of interstellar material out of which our solar system formed? Why is there so much life-sustaining water on the Earth? Missions like Stardust generally return little more than information for the billions of dollars it costs to run them. And those billions come from U.S. taxpayers. But surely they are worth every penny if they help us create the rich story of our origins. Scientists believe, for good reasons, that all the varied atoms in our bodies were once inside a star. These atoms were fused from hydrogen that dates from the beginning of the universe. The star exploded, spreading these atoms across a great region of space in a gigantic cloud. Gravity pulled them into larger clumps a central sun, planets, comets, moons, asteroids. And on one of the balls that gravity made a special place called Earth life appeared. If we can spend millions of dollars on government reports trying to piece together the story of what happened at Whitewater, or who knew what before Sept. 11, then surely we can spend a few times that on our own grander story.

Partnerships Compared to Limited Liability Partnerships

By Richard Chapo There are a variety of ways to structure the formation of a business. Partnerships and limited liability partnerships are two of the choices. If you are currently running a business, you might be in for a surprise. If the business has two or more owners and no specific business entity has been formed, you are in a partnership! Why? Under long standing law, any business with two or more owners is automatically considered a partnership unless affirmative steps are taken to form the business as something else. A partnership is a form of business that has great benefits and horrendous negatives. Personally, I believe it should be used sparingly as a form of business. Why? Well, a partnership provides no protection to its owners. If the partnership gets sued, all the partners are liable for the debt. This liability is total. If you only own 10 percent of the partnership, you can still be required to pay 100 percent of the debt if you are the one with money. For this sole reason, I believe partnerships should be avoided like the plague as a business entity choice. So, why would anyone form a business as a partnership? In a word taxes. Partnership entities do not pay taxes. Instead, the finances of the partnership pass down to the partners in accordance with their ownership percentages. It makes life easy from a tax perspective and avoids a lot of the complexities of business taxation. So, is there any way to take advantage of the tax benefits of a partnership while avoiding the potential liability problems? Many people think a limited liability partnership is the answer. A limited liability partnership is just like a general partnership with one big exception. The limited partners are shielded from personal liability. The LLP takes the following form. There is one general partner that actually runs the business on a day to day basis. There are then multiple limited partners that make capital contributions to the partnership in the form of cash, products and so on. If the LLP is sued, the general partner has no protection. The limited partners, however, can only lose their investment in the business. So, why doesnt everyone just form a limited liability partnership? Well, the limited partnership position is really restricted. As a limited partner, you can not be involved in the running of the business. You are essentially limited to contributing capital to get the business up and running. If you dont like the way things are being done, there isnt a lot you can do. If a limited partner becomes active in the running of the business, he or she loses all protection from liability. All and all, partnerships should be used sparingly. They can be excellent choices for very particular business situations. If you are considering this form of business, make sure to speak with an experienced business attorney so you know exactly what you are getting into. Richard A.

Migraines and the Migraine Syndrome

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=J._Wes_Tanner,_MD] J. Wes Tanner, MD I feel tired. There I go yawning again. Why did I come into the bedroom anyway? I wish I could find that box of chocolates I stashed away. My neck sure is stiff today. That spot on my head is hurting again. It always starts hurting when I get one of those sick headaches! Oh, maybe its happening again! I can feel the throbbing pulsation on the side of my head and in my sinuses. I need to turn off that noisy radio and lie down. I believe I will draw the shades first. This room smells musty. Maybe thats whats nauseating me. I cannot think right now, so I might as well go to sleep. Oh my, my head is killing me. This patient has a common migraine headache. If presented with aura (usually visual disturbance or tingling of the skin prior to the headache), then this would be a classic migraine headache. A migraineur, a person who has a history of having migraines, may have variations on the presentation of headaches or other symptoms. Some headaches will not follow this pattern. This person falls into the [http://www.migrainesyndrome.net] migraine syndrome profile. Let me explain what I mean by the migraine syndrome. It is the outward expression of the bodys sensitivity to light, sound, smell, food, and/or stress. Some people are more sensitive than others; therefore, their reactions to different stimuli are greater. This sensitivity can be manifested in the body as migraines, sinus headaches, neck aches, palpitations, irritable bowel syndrome, motion sickness or vertigo, reactive hypoglycemia, temporomandibular joint syndrome (TMJ), panic attacks, and/or fibromyalgia. Now thats a mouthful! Understanding what is going on with you is very important in the healing process. J. Wes Tanner, MD, is a family practice and headache specialist who has been treating people for over 30 years. He has extensive experience in treating migraines and fibromyalgia with excellent success. In Doctor, Why Do I Feel This Way?, Dr. Tanner exposes the secrets and myths about fibromyalgia and the migraine syndrome.

Paperless Payday Loan - No Faxing Check Loans

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Carrie_Reeder]Carrie Reeder Completing an online application for a no fax payday cash loan is
simple. Moreover, online loan companies offer instant approvals and quick
deposit of funds. Cash advance loans are ideal for emergencies because
funds are received quickly. Other lending institutions such as credit
unions and banks have a lengthy loan process. Thus, it may take several
days to acquire funds from a loan. Benefits of Paperless Cash Advance Lenders Because there are various cash advance loan companies, each lender
follows a different set of rules. Obviously, the concept is similar. All
lenders offer quick short term loans with no credit check or collateral.
However, the minimum requirements for a loan may vary. Also, lenders
may differ on their policy regarding documentations. Some lenders will not approve a cash advance payday loan unless
applicants provide proof of employment and banking statements. If applying
with a local cash advance company, simply bring these documents when
submitting an application. If using an online lender, cash advance companies that require
documentations will ask for faxed copies of your driver's license, paycheck
stubs, and checking account info. Without this documentation, loans are
not approved. To avoid the hassle of faxing documents and prolonging the loan
approval, opt for a no fax or paperless loan company. Upon completing your
online loan request, lenders will verify declared information and deposit
funds within a few hours. Using an Online Paperless Lender Today, every type of transaction can be completed using the internet.
Getting approved for an instant cash advance loan is no exception.
Different lenders have online applications that thoroughly outline the cash
advance process. Furthermore, lenders provide information such as
interest rate and late fees for loans. Applications are easy to understand. Some will ask a couple of
qualifying questions such as: Do you have an active checking or savings
account? Are you employed? What is your monthly income? Before granting a loan
approval, cash advance loan companies will ensure that applicants are
able to comply with the loan agreement. All cash advance lenders offer quick approvals. However, online no-fax
loan companies are super fast and very convenient. Carrie Reeder is the owner of [http://www.abcloanguide.com]http://www.abcloanguide.com. View her recommended sources for payday loans.
