Make the connection
Les Nouvelles Esthétiques & Spa
Most people think of a spa experience as solitary, featuring inwardly focused personal time where relaxation is encouraged in quiet, dimly lit spaces, with treatments experienced in the comfort of a private room. This was not always the case. The historical origins of spa are found in balneum centers, where people gathered to benefit from the healing waters. The key element of the experience was also community.

How supervisors can earn employees' T.R.U.S.T.
By D. Albert Brannen
 Every manager and supervisor wants their employees to trust them. Earning trust is difficult, but once it exists in a relationship, the sky is the limit.

On any given day, only 20 to 30 percent of the students arrive at class having done the reading. Faculty are using a variety of approaches to up that percentage: quizzes, assignments that require some sort of written response to the reading, reading journals, a variety of optional reading support materials and calling on students to answer questions about the reading.
