One of the most important aspects of work in a modern organization is communication.
A communication load is the amount and the speed and the complexity of communication that a person has to process.
People can experience communication overload.
This is when they get too much information in too short a period of time.
Or, when they get information that is too complex to process in a short period of time.
People can also experience communication underload.
This is when they do not get enough information.
Both communication overload and communication underload can affect the level of job satisfaction.
If a person receives too much communication or not enough communication on the job, they are more likely to become dissatisfied and unhappy with their work.
This can lead to a low level of job satisfaction.
A 2013 study surveyed 2.5 million employees in the United States.
According to the study, the most important factors for job satisfaction are:
fairness, safety, respect, and confidence in the leadership;
cooperation and collaboration with colleagues;
achievement, recognition, and pride.
Personal factors
Some factors in job satisfaction are personal or individual.
Each person is affected in their own unique way.
Moods and emotions at work are related to job satisfaction.
Positive and negative emotions are related to overall job satisfaction.
Genetics play a role in job satisfaction.
One scientific experiment studied twins who were raised apart.
Researchers measured the influence of genetics on the twins' job satisfaction.
The study found that 70% of job satisfaction comes from the environment and 30% comes from genetic factors.
Some research shows a connection between personality and job satisfaction.
Employees who do not feel alienated, or left out, have more job satisfaction.
Employees who feel in control of their situation also have more job satisfaction.
They show more involvement in their job and more commitment to the company.
Psychological well-being (PWB) is how well a person's mind functions overall.
It involves every part of a person's life: work, family, community, etc.
PWB in the workplace plays an important role in determining job satisfaction and has attracted much research attention in recent years.
These studies focused on the effects of PWB on job satisfaction and job performance.
Research published in 2000 showed a strong connection between PWB and job satisfaction.
A second study by the same authors in 2007 had similar results.
These studies showed that PWB predicts job performance better than job satisfaction does.
Researchers have various ways to measure job satisfaction.
The Job Descriptive Index measures job satisfaction in 5 ways: pay, promotions, coworkers, bosses, and the work itself.
The survey is simple.
People answer yes, no, or ‘?’.
There are other job satisfaction surveys, for example, the Job Satisfaction Survey and the Faces Scale.
The Job Satisfaction Survey asks 36 questions about 9 factors in job satisfaction.
The Faces Scale asks only one question.
People answer by choosing a face.

Octocorallia is a subclass of the Anthozoa in the phylum Cnidaria.
There are over 3.000 different species.
These animals have an eight-fold symmetry.
Most are colonial sessile polyps.
Octocorallia look like the stony corals.
Stony corals have a six-fold symmetry, and are classified in the group Hexacorallia.
Unlike the stony corals, most Octocoralllia lack a lasting skeleton.
For this reason, they do not build coral reefs.
An older name for this group is Alcyonaria.
Many species form symbioses with unicellular algae.
Octocorallia have many enemies: For this reason, many are toxic, or they taste bad.
Many species of the Octocorallia can reproduce both sexually and asexually: It is common to find a colony of Octocorallia, where most polyps have the same sex.

Out of Africa is about the recent African origin of modern humans.
Since the 1980s this has been supported by a study of present-day mitochondrial DNA, and other sequence analysis.
There is also evidence based on the physical anthropology of archaic fossil remains.
The idea is very well supported.
There are differing theories on whether there was a single exodus or several.
A growing number of researchers also suspect that "long-neglected North Africa" was the original home of the modern humans who first trekked out of the continent.
The first truly modern humans seem to have appeared between 200,000 and 130,000 years ago.
This was the area where earlier species of humans, (such as Neanderthals, Homo neanderthalensis) had been living for a long time (at least 500,000 years in western Europe).
Genetic studies and fossil evidence show that archaic  Homo sapiens evolved to anatomically modern humans solely in Africa between 200,000 and 60,000 years ago.
Members of one branch of Homo sapiens left Africa at some point between 125,000 and 60,000 years ago, and that over time these humans replaced earlier populations of the genus Homo such as Neanderthals and Homo erectus.

The Game is the name of a mind game.
The goal is not to think about The Game itself.
If someone thinks about The Game, they lose.
If someone loses, they must tell someone or announce that they "lost The Game."
The first known reference of The Game appeared in 1990, though no one is sure how it started, and it will never end.
It has lasted for about 30 years and accumulated millions of “players” around the world.
A similar game was played by Leo Tolstoy in 1840.
The media has reported on The Game in many countries and has guessed the number of players to be in the millions.
A similar game, “The Game” (pronounced “‘thee’ game” not “‘tha’ game”) is played by thinking about said game, then you win.
You announce you just “won The Game”
There can be different versions of the game.
If you don’t know about the game you’re not in the game.
A person cannot choose to stop playing.
Can’t talk about the game to those not in the game.
Takes 2 in the game to put a new person in the game.
once told “you lost the game” you are out for 30 mins.
you can only get someone out by directly telling them they lost the game or “forward message” through someone else in the game
just because you read this page doesn’t mean you’re kicked out of the game.
It means you get one chance to be reminded and that you are engulfed by exxdoutlovesyou’s love for your life as a chance to reflect.
now you have a chance to do right by people and bring more people into the game
remember to support each other, love one another, and show people they matter because that is what the game of living in final elevation means
the game is not only meant to be played between verified players.
You have to extend love to non celebrities because that is where you came from
never lose sight of the moral of the game of true love with one another
You can never truly win The Game.
Anytime who overhears someone announce "I just lost The Game" or "You just lost The Game" also loses The Game.

Alexander Bulgakov was born in 1781 in Constantinople in the family of a Russian diplomat, Yakov Bulgakov (1743–1809).
At the beginning of his career, Bulgakov worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
He served as an official with special duties attached to the Governor General of Moscow in 1809–1832.
In 1832, Bulgakov stopped his diplomatic career and was appointed to Director of Posts in Moscow.
He served in this position in 1832–1856.
His younger brother Konstantin Bulgakov  (1782–1835) was the Director of the Saint Petersburg Post Office at that time.
Because both were the top officers of the Russian Postal Service, they could freely correspond with each other.
Both brothers were much respected by their staff for their effort to improve working conditions for postal workers.
Julieta Montaño (born 16 August 1946) is a Bolivian lawyer, a human rights defender, and a writer.
In 2015 she won the US State Department's International Women of Courage Award.
Rosa Julieta Montaño Salvatierra was born 16 August 1946 in Quillacoll, Bolivia.
She finished her Bachelor's degree in Humanities at the Universidad Mayor de San Simón in 1965.
She finished her law degree at the same university in 1972.
She finished Master's degrees in human rights and political science at the Universidad Mayor de San Simón and University of Huelva in Huelva, Spain.
She finished her doctorate degree in human rights at the Universidad Pablo de Olavide in Seville, Spain.
Montaño was the Vice President of the Human Rights Assembly of Bolivia and the Comptroller of Cochabamba, Bolivia.
From 1997 to 2002 she was in the Chamber of Deputies representing the Cochabamba Department.
In 1981, during the Bolivian Cocaine Coup, Montaño  was the head of the Union de Mujeres de Bolivia (Union of Bolivian Women).
She was arrested, and stayed in her house, under house arrest.
Montaño returned to her work in 1981, after the end of the dictatorship.
On 11 April 1985 Montaño started the Oficina Jurídica para la Mujer (Legal Office for Women) to promote women’s rights and fight violence against women.
The organization has helped more than 30,000 women.
It has also worked with the Bolivian legislature to make laws to protect women.
Internet of things is an idea from computer science: connecting ordinary things like lights and doors to a computer network to make them "intelligent".
An embedded system or a computer connects each thing together in a network and to the internet.
Some technologies used for the internet of things are RFID and mesh nets.
The connections allow each thing to collect and exchange data, and we can control them remotely or by setting rules or chains of actions.
IoT improves the ease of life of humans and their daily activities.
Experts estimate that the IoT will consist of almost 50 billion objects by 2020.
Many postal companies offer tracking codes that offer customers the ability to check the status of their package in real-time.
Modern printers offer the option to order new ink cartridges when it runs out.
The printer can easily query how much ink or toner is left in a cartridge and order a new one once it starts to run out or becomes empty.
Smart doorbells that offer a real-time video feed of your front door to prevent trespassing and provides an extra layer of security for residents when or when they are not at home.
Smart thermometers like Nest, that uses AI to learn your personal habits at home to monitor and control the temperature to make your living as comfortable as possible while also keeping the electricity cost low.
One of the most popular "Internet of things" devices known as Amazon Echo is a small device where you are able to interact to help improve your living conditions.
It is able to help turn on your coffee machine, play songs, turn on lights, and much more.
Smart home appliances can be managed long distance, allowing you to turn them on and off anywhere.
Motion detection lights can turn on only when they sense someone at the door, reducing the need to have pathway lighting and lights on all night long.
Home security systems can include night vision, motion detection, and loud sirens to help you to get people off your property.
M2M, or Machine to Machine communication, was the first iteration of the IoT back in the 1980s.
Early traces of this technology are also found in SCADA, or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition.
As technology has continued to develop and new devices emerged, the M2M and SCADA technology gave way to IoT and a new age of data collection and transmission.
These ideas have also been criticized.
The main points of criticism are the following:
Different people use different words to describe what the thing does.
There are many different kinds of devices, each has its own standard, but making the devices interact with each other or follow a common standard is difficult.
The devices involved are usually simple, and only offer a limited functionality.
By design they should be easy to use.
Unfortunately, they are often insecure (for example, because there's an easy to guess password for administrating the device)
Very often, there are concerns about privacy: An intelligent light switch that listens to a clap, or to a phrase will put the the user under constant surveillance.
The user doesn't know what kind of information/data is gathered, and how it is used.
There may be issues with planned obsolescence: A device without a changeable battery will stop operating when the battery is old (and almost empty).
Similarly, companies may choose to make a device unusable, by providing a new software, which also disables some of its features.
Because of its use in essential industries like infrastructure and healthcare, there are risks with using an IoT. Hackers may attempt to access the wealth of personal data being shared within the network.
In this case, individuals, businesses, and even hospitals could be left vulnerable.

Hațeg Island was a large offshore island in the Tethys Sea during the late Cretaceous.
It was in an area now around modern-day Hațeg, Hunedoara County, Romania.
Upper Cretaceous fossils of small-sized dinosaurs have been found in the former island's rocks.
The island was formed mainly by tectonic uplift during the early Alpine orogeny towards the end of the Cretaceous.
There is no real present-day analog, but the island of Hainan (off the coast of China) is perhaps closest as regards climate, geology and topography, though still not a particularly good match.
The vegetation, for example, was quite distinct from today, as was the fauna.
Hungarian paleontologist Franz Nopcsa (1877–1933) had the idea that "limited resources" found on the island often have an effect of "reducing the size of animals" over the generations, producing a localized form of dwarfism.
Nopcsa's theory of island dwarfism – also known as the "island rule" – is today widely accepted.

The same process can happen in evolution on a mainland: an example is the evolution of the dwarfed marmosets and tamarins among New World monkeys.
The smallest member is Cebuella pygmaea.
The main cause is their population's range being limited to a small environment, and this happens most often on islands.
This process has occurred many times throughout evolutionary history.
Examples include dinosaurs, like Europasaurus, and modern animals such as elephants and their relatives.
This process may occur not only on traditional islands, but also in other situations where an ecosystem is isolated from external resources and breeding.
This may include caves, desert oases, isolated valleys and isolated mountains ("sky islands").
Insular dwarfism is one aspect of the more general "island rule": when mainland animals colonize islands, small species tend to evolve larger bodies, perhaps because the island may not have key predators.
On the other hand large species may  evolve smaller bodies because food supplies are limited.
Possible causes of island dwarfism
One is based on the idea that a smaller territory means a smaller food supply.
A process where only smaller animals trapped on the island survive, as food declines to a borderline level.
Population declines and, as smaller animals need fewer resources and smaller territories, they will survive longer.
Eventually food sources replenish, and the survivors flourish.
Smaller size is also advantageous from a reproductive standpoint, as it leads to shorter gestation periods and generation times.
Among carnivores, the main factor is thought to be the size and availability of prey resources, and competition is believed to be less important.
In tiger snakes, insular dwarfism occurs on islands where available prey is restricted to smaller sizes than are normally taken by mainland snakes.
Since prey size preference in snakes is generally proportional to body size, small snakes may be better adapted to take small prey.
Konstantin Bulgakov served as the Director of the Moscow Post Office.
Since 1819 he was the Director of Saint Petersburg Post Office.
Bulgakov later became the Director of the Postal Department of the Russian Empire.
He and his brother Alexander Bulgakov, Director of the Moscow Post Office, could freely correspond with each other because both were the top officers of the Russian Postal Service.
Konstantin Bulgakov was the son of a diplomat, Yakov Bulgakov (1743–1809).
He was born in Constantinople in 1782.
Bulgakov began working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1797.
Thanks to his linguistic skills, he served in a diplomatic capacity during Russia's wars with Turkey and France.
At the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Bulgakov assisted the Russian Tsar Alexander I and the Foreign Minister.
The Tsar offered him an ambassador position in Copenhagen.
However, Bulgakov asked the Tsar for his appointment as Director of Posts in Moscow in February 1816.
He soon succeeded in this post and was transferred to Saint Petersburg on 23 December 1819.
As Director of Saint Petersburg Posts, Bulgakov worked there with Prince Golitsyn, who was in charge of the Russian Postal Department.
In 1831, Bulgakov was promoted to the Director of the Postal Department and decorated.
However, he suffered two strokes in 1835.
That was a consequence
of overwork.
Bulgakov died the same year.
Postal reforms
Among Bulgakov's innovations was the establishment of passenger-carrying mail-coaches between the major towns of Russia and the Baltic provinces.
These services started in 1821 and worked, until they were replaced with the railway in 1868.
In 1825, the first survey of post-roads in Russia was published.
Begun in 1817, construction of paved roads continued and reached over 1,500 miles by the 1850s.
This progress enabled Bulgakov to introduce a system of express posts ("extra" posts) between major cities.
Bulgakov also concluded a postal treaty with Prussia.
In 1832, he set up  a steamship service between Saint Petersburg and Lübeck.
All these improvements reduced the delivery times for mail.
For example, mail from Berlin to Saint Petersburg came in five days instead of nine.
The Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna, the widow of Paul I and a former German princess, praised the better postal service.
