The multiplicity of choices can end up rendering the exercise of establishing the appropriate worker health scheme taxing. At the same time it can as well make it possible for employers to pick best schemes to appropriately suit them and their members of staff. It is therefore advisable to look around so as not to miss important details whenever out to select a health scheme for whatever kind of business or establishment. The reference small employer in connection to insurance in Texas refers to an establishment with eligible workers ranging from two to fifty in number. The regulations offers such establishments extra safeguards, entailing a 15% once a year cap on rate augments connected to fitness aspects, an assurance that carriers cannot illogically put an end to coverage, and a proviso that permits small companies to team their procuring power to bargain cheaper insurance tariffs. For workers of small establishments, the regulations offer a number of means to keep up benefits following departure from a job and restrict the waiting time ahead of a health scheme catering for pre-existent terms. Away from these conditions, small-employer bearers may provide a broad array of schemes, with practically any arrangement of conditions and benefits.

Small-Employer Coverage Eligibility Texas establishments having two up to fifty members of staff may take small-worker coverage from an insurance firm or a health protection firm. Qualified workers are those who normally work leastways thirty hours in a week.

For instance, if one’s venture has sixty total workers
Breeders always try their level best to ensure that their breeds have the best traits. The qualities and traits in animals can be changed through systematic breeding (Kent, 2000). The process of breeding plants and animals to attain some specific genetic qualities or traits is what is referred to as selective breeding (Kent, 2000). It is the desire of every professional breeder to come up with an animal offspring that has better qualities than their parents. Selective breeding of animals such as pets should attain the set standards and qualities laid down by the breeder. Some of the qualities that a breeder aims at improving in selective breeding include health, temperament, body features, and color (Kent, 2000). The process of improving the quality of animals through selective breeding requires a sustained effort in order to achieve the desired results. This paper will explain the concept of selective breeding and highlight the differences that exist between selective breeding and inbreeding. The strains produced after selective breeding are normally domesticated by the breeder. Selecting particular traits in animals leads to a similarity in characteristics, behavior, and appearance (Kent, 2000). Animals that have only one trait that is recognizable are referred to as purebred animals. A mixture of two purebreds results in a crossbreed. In order to carry out selective breeding, the breeder must first of all have a breeding stock with the desired qualities. The next step involves bringing together the breeding stock to come up with the desired traits that are superior to those of their parents. Crossbreeding can also be used to produce a breeding stock with unique qualities. It is important for a breeder to critically analyze the possible outcome after breeding animals with a particular set of characteristics (Kent, 2000). It is also important for a breeder to purchase a breeding stock that should be able to give him the projected results. Breeders with an intention of maintaining some stable traits within the generation use a purebred breeding stock. It is important to aim at producing breeds with a variety of qualities than single-trait breeding to prevent any kind of complications (Turner, 2012). There are certain details that breeders should consider when carrying out the selective breeding process (Turner, 2012). To begin with, the breeder should consider the color or marking that they need. The breeder should also analyze the quality of animals present
The movie The Secret Law of Attraction (2006) produced by Rhonda Byrne can be best classified as a film for self-help. It is made in a form of a documentary film in order to represent the theory of the film and evidence for its support in a most comprehensive manner. The structure of The Secret Law of Attraction consists of interviews with different people who either are specialists in various scientific fields or claim to have experienced the law of attraction in their life. The main idea of the film is that the path to personal development is indivisible from the fact that human thoughts can attract certain events. In some ways, the film supports the idea that the power of the thought is today beyond both practical and scientific comprehension. Hence, the secret in the center of the film’s attention is that our thinking influences the events that happen to us. From the standpoint presented by the experts in quantum physics, the hypothesis is that people’s thoughts have some mental energy that, like any other kind of energy, influences objects in real life ( The Secret Law of Attraction ). Although the science is not yet able to explain such phenomena and the ways how it works, the creators The Secret Law of Attraction claim that people can control their thoughts and direct them in order to fix some issues in their lives. Furthermore, the film even claims that problems with health with the help of the law of attraction. For example, if a person is hungry and keeps thinking about it, the law of attraction will multiply the feeling of hunger because thoughts attract the events. Naturally, it is scientifically proven that human brain can influence the way people feel in different ways, but, in my opinion, there are some limits to thinking without making any real actions. It is important to consider the scope and significance of the events. Positive thinking affects emotional health, helps to preserve an emotional comfort and avoid being distressed. However, it is also important to point out th
Introduction Liberia has been living in peace for more than a decade since the end of the Second Liberian Civil War in 2003 (World Bank Group, 2016). The country has been receiving foreign aid (FA) before, during, and after its wars. Nowadays, it is one of the aid-dependent countries of Africa (Starr, 2010). To make a difference, FA needs proper management ( Understanding development , 2014, pp. 38-41). The present paper is devoted to analyzing the way Liberia has been using its FA and defining if it is managed properly. Peace, War, and Foreign Aid According to the data provided by the World Bank Group (2016), Liberia has been receiving FA since before the 1980s, and its amount has had the tendency to increase with some of the years breaking this pattern. For example, during the Second Civil War, total FA was noticeably smaller than before and especially after it. Since 2003, the amount of FA has been growing again. In 2014, Liberia received $744,330,000 of net official development assistance and official aid (World Bank Group, 2015). During the war, the distribution of FA in Liberia was admittedly ineffective. FA could be stolen: in 1996, over $20 million worth of FA was “distributed” in such a way (Narang, 2015, p. 185). Authorities could abuse their power: for example, the Liberian leader Charles Taylor shared the FA provided for his territory but demanded 15% of it to be considered an import tax (Narang, 2015, p. 186). The question of how Liberia distributes FA during its peaceful times is not easy to answer. Liberia’s budget is among the lowest-ranking ones with respect to the Open Budget Index (OBI). For Liberia, OBI equals 38 for t
Introduction Technological improvement has brought different methods of information dispensing in the world. One of the most notable information dispensers is television sets. With the increase in media freedom, the media has brought a number of issues which have impacted on the life of people. China is the second world largest economy with an increasing technology development. It produces and sells a number of electronics including phones and television sets. The country has a young population which spends a number of its time on television set watching different channels. Chinese has a culture which is shared in a certain geographical location. The culture is upheld by the people of the area and it is transmitted to new entrants into the society. The culture covers in areas of language used by the people, the way they do things, religion that they practice, structure, identity, norms, belief and values they hold. Art, music and songs also form another form of culture that the people hold. The people, are spending more time with television sets than they are spending with other people because of their busy schedule. How someone behaves is influenced by the exposure that he has. TV is offering an exposure that is changing Chinese culture. The focus is taking is to have an international culture. The views portrayed, the programs and the opinions given by different media personalities affect the culture of the people (Denis-Fred, 2003). This paper will discuss the influence of television, as the most popular medium in today’s China, on contemporary Chinese culture. China overview China is a Middle East country that has undergone a rapid economic growth rate in the recent past. The economic growth is a major determinant in making decision on whether to make an investment in the country. China has highly modern developed infrastructures; this are both of transport and those of communication. The systems are advanced so well that access to the country from any corner of the world is highly enhanced, the airports, the sea port, and internal transport are well managed and accessible. The communication network within and without is of high-tech. This is an asset to the business since it reduces the cost of doing business, on the other hand the international market is enhanced at all lengths. The sectors have seen the private and public participation, this boosts the efficiency of the systems and thus one can trade with approximate assumptions. The growth rate of the economy of China has always for the last three decades remained on a positive note. There have even been some rates recorded as high as 12%. This is an element to show the strength of the economy as well as it gives us the hope of continuity in the market. This growth has enabled China to be seen as the emerging world economy. The rate of growth is another indicator of a sta
Biography in brief Born on 4 th , August 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii, Barack Hussein Obama II is the current president of the United States of America. Prior to this post, he was the serving Senator of Illinois. His father and mother hailed from Kenya and Kansas respectively. Between the ages of six and ten, the young Barrack lived in Indonesia before coming back to the US to complete his education which culminated in a degree from Harvard Law School. He served as a civil right activist before joining politics (Nardo 7). Leadership style and abilities Leadership is the process of an individual gaining the help of others to attain or achieve certain common objective (Bass 2). In our normal daily activities, we come across several leaders such as the manager at work, the supervisor at the laundry place, the football coach in school to mention but a few. These individuals like the rest of us are of different characters and employ various techniques in influencing their followers to achieve the common goal they all are after, hence different leadership styles. Barrack Obama is a transformational leader who employs various tactics depending on his abilities to achieve his visionary goal in well governing of the country. Avolio and Bass (113) define transformational leaders as those who motivate others to do more than they originally intended and often more than they thought was possible. The form of leadership can be viewed to entail charisma-being appealing to your followers while having energetic, dynamic and commanding presence making them wanting to emulate you. This comes from admiration; respect and developed trust that make them view you as a role model. Inspirational motivation is another component of transformational leadership. The leaders appeal to basic values with enthusiasm optimism and eloquent speaking styles that leave their followers envisioning an attractive better future. Intellectual stimulation by them entails inspiring people to explore their abilit
Introduction Baroque can be traced back in Rome. It was mainly used to raise emotions of viewers in order to sway their thinking. The Roman Catholic Church found Baroque very important in their ministry of the word of God. Many people had strongly believed in gods they could see or touch, like moon, sun or animals. 1 The Roman Catholic Church saw this as an opportunity through which they could make their message clear to their audience. They encouraged this artistry within this country, and helped spread the art to Europe and other parts of the world. Through baroque, they could show the faithful the face of Jesus Christ. They painted the church with different baroques of Jesus, and other saints. This proved to be very successful. Those who could not read the gospel could relate the information given, to the piece of baroque in the church. They managed to attract more followers to the church. During this period, art had become one of the prominent ways of passing any form of communication. Many people found baroque appealing way of communication. In most of the occasions, the artist would make a beautiful painting to reflect on a well known and cherished fact. For instance, the church used the paintings to emphasize on the presence of God, and His son Jesus Christ. In other occasions, the paintings were used to communicate a hidden fact. An artist would use some known facts, but conceal the whole painting in a way that would require some interpretation. In such cases, the interpretation would at times be very different from what the artist had in mind. In this piece of art, Aristotle is touching the bust of Homer. This piece of art is a baroque art. According to Heller 2 , a good painting should bring fiction to reality. It should capture the mind of the audience and make them feel that what they are seeing is real, and not a work of imagination. Rembrandt has succeeded in this in regard to this picture. He managed create Aristotle in his mind and bring him out in the most realistic manner possible. It would require a keen analysis, with some strong historical background about the context of the piece of art, in order to realize that this is purely baroque. This piece of art is actually a baroque art. The following characteristics can help confirm this argument. Brush Strokes One of the easiest ways of identifying a baroque art is by studying the brush strokes. In most of the cases, pieces of baroque art always have conspicuous brush strokes that would make one to easily identify it as such. 3 Rembrandt has however, proven his prowess in painting. The piece of art has completely concealed all the brash strokes on Aristotle. It is only a professional who will realize that the
Immigration in the United States is the source of both advantages and disadvantages for the nation’s economy. It is an extremely complicated subject as in many cases foreign labor and resources are the foundations of the financial success of the American businesses. At the same time, the number of undocumented illegal immigrants in the country is truly enormous and this creates a serious pressure on the economy of the United States as many of the immigrants obtain financial help from the government and bring no significant profit to the economy. Besides, the growing rates of immigration result in the presence of large numbers of criminal elements in the country which is dangerous to the national security (“USA Immigration Problems” par. 1). Currently, the leaders of the United States have developed and enforced a variety of programs and reform in order to minimize the rates of the illegal immigration. Among the problems facilitated by the illegal immigration there are failed allocation of the tax-payer money, reduction of the number of the available jobs for the citizens, decrease of wages, growing rates of crime within the country, as well as domestic terrorism (“Problems with Illegal Immigration” par. 2). There is a growing dissatisfaction with the decisions of President Obama who is recognized as a supporter of illegal immigration and the provider of various freedoms and benefits designed to protect the illegal dwellers. These actions are seen as the ones directed against the freedoms of the American citizens. That way, an appropriate solution for the immigration problem in the United States remains unknown. Among the main options, there are the deportation of all the individuals dwelling in the US without legal permission, or the opposite measure – the assignment of citizenship for them all. The first option seems quite impossible because to keep the illegal immigrants from Mexico alone the United States would have to build a massive wall along the border (that is extremely long), and invest in constant and careful supervision of the border by the military personnel. Besides, the illegal immigrants from all the other countries will still remain unaddressed. As for the second option, it is likely to attract even more immigrants and aggravate the issues of job loss and decreasing wages as well as domestic crime and terrorism. The provision of citizenship to all the undocumented individuals living in the United States is the humane way to approach the problem of illegal immigration. That way, these individuals will be required to find a job in order to obtain benefits from healthcare and education. Besides, their labor will finally make them contribute to the country’s economy so their benefits will be covered at least partially. At the same time, to prevent the arriv

The e-mail may contain a screenshot of the advertisement featuring the product and a link to the video. Thus, the customers will feel that the company values them as individuals with their unique tastes and demands. E-blogs must also be used for online PR.
