If you have, you know the fury-inducing helplessness that accompanies being cut off from instantaneous access to whatever data you want. If you own or manage any business that has a captive audience for more than a few minutes, this article is directed at you in hopes of aiding in the reduction of your clients’ stress and the enhancement of your customer service reputation. I’ve written several articles previously on the fact that an inability to access data all of the time is good – and how to manage it – but the truth of the matter is if you haven’t planned for it, or you’re frequently caught in one of these places, it’s likely to be far less serenity-enhancing and far more stress-inducing....

Dr. Arthur Aron set up experiments where he paired study subjects together and gave them questions to ask each other. The questions were in three sets totaling 36. The questions became increasingly intimate toward the end, the idea being that the more vulnerable you feel, the closer you become. Did it work? Well, it was reported that two subjects actually did get married. After reviewing the findings, it does seem that these questions do tend to create a closeness between the partners....

Sleeping through class and not doing homework? Taking out way too many loans and knowing nothing about them? If you guessed the latter, then you’re right! Millennials are taking out more in student debt than they can handle. And when it comes to repayment, they are clueless. According to a survey by Citizens Bank, 45% of those surveyed didn’t know what percentage of their salary went towards loans and a shocking 15% didn’t even know how much they owed in student loans....
The millennial generation is a restless lot who want to live it up. Sticking to one job, one field and one company bores them. Most of these workers opt for working remotely, so telecommuting is no more the domain of the ‘stay at home dads’. Some companies even claim that these remote workers are more productive than their regular office employees.

They prioritized the language tasks the agents needed such as communicating with immigrants, calming detained families and explaining legal rights in simple terms....
