Her M.O. is simple, but it continues to work. Your job, stopper. Smokers by the thousands are now changing to Chesterfield. No wonder. More and more smokers are learning this fact for themselves. Chesterfield, low in nicotine, highest in quality. A published fact proved by chemical analyses of the country's six leading cigarette brands. Chesterfield, the only cigarette ever with a record like this. Regular or king size, Chesterfield is best for you. Dragnet, the documented drama of an actual crime. For the next 30 minutes in cooperation with the Los Angeles Police Department, you will travel step by step on the side of the law through an actual case transcribed from official police files. From beginning to end, from crime to punishment, Dragnet is the story of your police force in action. It was Friday, September 18th. It was warm in Los Angeles. We were working the day watch out of forgery detail. My partner's Frank Smith, the boss is Captain Welsh. My name's Friday. We were on our way out from the office, and it was 1042 a.m. when we got to the ninth floor of the Beckworth Department Store. The credit manager's office. Yes? Would you like to see Mr. Donaldson, please? May I say who's calling? Sergeant Friday, Los Angeles Police Department. Oh, yes, he's expecting you. Just a moment. Thank you. Yes? The gentleman from the police department are here, Mr. Donaldson. Send them in, please. Yes, sir. You want to go right in? That's the door. Thank you very much. Come on in, gentlemen. Thank you. Mr. Donaldson. Yes? I'm Sergeant Friday. This is my partner, Frank Smith. How do you do? How do you do, sir? Sit down. Thank you very much, sir. Now, do you want to tell us what this is all about? Well, it's a little mother again. I've got the receipts here in the desk. Is Sergeant Ferguson still working on this case? Yes, sir. I talked to him the last time we were stuck. The usual type of things, Charlie? Yes, children's shoes, dresses, sweaters, same as always. Nice scene. I wonder if I can have those slips, Mr. Donaldson. Sure. Here you are. Thank you. All made out the same day. August 22nd. Yes. Our experience is that she usually comes in on a Saturday. It seems that the store is more crowded then, and the girls don't take any more time to verify the accounts than they have to. Can I see those, Joe? Yeah, here you are. I wonder if we could talk to the sales girl who waited on her. Sure. I'll have her set up. Fine. Ms. Farrell, would you please have Mrs. Allen set up? Yes, sir. I notice here the only items are charged not for children as a woman slipped. Yes. We've had a couple of them in the past, pieces of women's clothing. I talked to Sergeant Ferguson about it when he was here. Did you get the bulletin we sent out this month? Big pardon? The bulletin, giving the woman's description, for handwriting, did you get it? Yes, sir. We did. You've got to understand, Sergeant. This is one of the biggest stores in the city. We do a lot of business. It'll be almost impossible to alert all of the sales girls to watch for the woman. Yes, sir. We understand that. But where's the description sent to the children's department? It was. It didn't do any good, though. If the woman charged large amounts, it might be easier. But look at the sales slips yourself. $4 shoes, $3 dresses, nothing to make a charge like that stand out. We make sure that there's an account in the name, and then let it go. Don't you use the charging plate system? Yes, we do. But if a customer wants to charge an item and hasn't got the plate, we usually just verify the account and let them sign the sales slip. Well, how about identification? Well, normally we do ask for it. But as I said, these sales are such small amounts and the woman comes in when the store is crowded. The girls just call the credit department and let her sign the receipt. I see. Oh, excuse me. Yes, sir. Yes? Mrs. Allen's here. Oh, all right. Just a moment. Yes, sir. The woman who waited on her is out in the office. Do you want to talk to her in here? Well, we don't want to take up any more of your time. I'm sure we can see her out there. All right. Is there anything else you need? I'll be here. Yes, sir. Oh, officer. Yes, sir.  Why is that, sir? Well, the thing she's charged. What's that? The thing she's taken. They were almost all kids' clothes. It doesn't seem to be interested in anything else. Total amounts of the articles she's taken don't add up too much. It's the principle of the thing more than the value. It just seems that the only thing she's interested in is the children.  Yes, sir. We understand. We've got a lot of this going on, but the others, they take things for themselves. Lugs, as you know, are expensive items. But she doesn't. Just for the kids. She doesn't seem to be at all interested in herself. Well, we are. Yes, well, I suppose so. Well, I'll be here if you need anything more. Thank you, Mr. Donaldson. Thanks very much. We'll be in touch with you.  Yes, sir. As soon as we've had the chance to photograph them. Well, I hope you can do something about it. Yes, sir. So do we. Thank you very much. Anything you need, you let me know. Yes, sir. Thank you. Just a moment. Mrs. Allen. Yes. These are the police officers. How you doing, ma'am? I'm Sergeant Friday. This is my partner, Frank Smith. Hello. How are you doing, Miss Allen? You want to sit down over here, please? Yes, all right. I feel just terrible about this. Ma'am. All this forgery thing. Now, you waited on the woman, didn't you? Yes, at least in the little girl's department. Uh-huh. What if you could describe her for us? Well, she was a little woman. I'd say a 10. How's that again, ma'am? A size 10. Oh. 5'1", about 105 pounds. Cuter than a button. Mm-hmm. Did she have the children with her? No. No, she didn't. I thought it was a little funny at the time, but as I say, we were so busy with the school rush that afternoon that none of us girls had a chance to really think about anything. Yes, ma'am. What color hair did she have? Kind of sandy color. I guess you'd call it a blonde. Ward up in a bun.  Yes, ma'am. The other girls noticed it long. Looked nice. Different than all the other short hair cuts. Kind of old-fashioned and homely. Yes, ma'am. How was she dressed? Not very well. Hello, blue hat, dark coat. Cloth coat. Color came up like this. You know? Slash pockets. Nice, but not expensive. I see, ma'am. Now would you know her if you saw her again? Oh, my, yes. Sure would. Well, we'd like you to come over to our office and look at some pictures, if you would. All right. I'll have to talk to the floor manager. We'll take care of that, Ms. Allen. All right. You think that you might have a picture of her? We don't know. I kind of hope not. Ma'am. I hope you don't have a picture. I guess it's a little sinful to even think of it, but she had a reason for what she did. I'm sure of it. Why do you say that, Mrs. Allen? Officer, I've been selling for a long time. I met a lot of people in that time. Nice ones and nasty ones. And believe me, this is one of the sweetest people I've ever served. Mm-hmm. I understand that you call her the little mother. Isn't that right? Well, we don't, ma'am. That's what the newspapers call her. Well, it fits her to a T. Right to a T. The way she bustled around those dresses, looking, testing, she was just like a mother hen trying to find something for her brood. Little doll. Cute as a button. She just got to have a reason for what she's doing. Sergeant Friday? Yes, Mr. Donaldson? I'm glad I called you. I think we've got it. Sir? The little mother. She's downstairs now. For the last six years, the same woman had been operating in the downtown department stores. During that period, she'd forged a total of $1,300 worth of merchandise that we knew of. Because of her M.O., there was no way of telling how much more had gone undetected. The operation was a simple one. She'd had her a store, go to one of the departments. There she'd pick up articles of apparel, mostly for children, and then ask to charge them. She'd explained that she'd forgotten her charge of plate, and after the account had been verified, she'd sign the charge slip. These slips would be put in the mail to the people who maintained the account, and it wouldn't be until they noticed a discrepancy that we'd be notified. Usually a month would pass between the time the clothing was taken and we were told of it. In the six years that the little mother as the newspapers had dubbed her had been operating, almost every team of detectives in the forgery detail had worked on the case. Statements from sales girls had waited on her were taken. Photostats of the sales slips were made, witnesses were interrogated, and then when the sum total of actual physical evidence was weighed and sifted, there was no lead to the identity of the forger. The police department had gotten out printed bulletins and copies of composite drawings of the suspect, and these had been distributed to all department stores in the area. But because of the suspect's appearance and the way she operated, none of the victims became suspicious in time to notify us. The department store's protective lead was working with us, but they met with the same dead ends that we'd found. Meanwhile, the evidence continued to pile up. The operation continued to work. When the manager of Beckworth's department store told us that the suspect was in the store, Frank and I were able to come up with the first concrete lead we'd had since we'd been working on the case. In the company of the manager and the saleswoman, Mrs. Myra Allen, Frank and I went down to the boys department where the suspect was reported to be. Down this way. Yes, sir. The girl said she was over by boys' suits. I hope they were able to hold her. Just a minute. Yes, sir. I know I don't have to tell you gentlemen about the store's liability in a situation like this. No, sir. Now, I'm sure it's her, but it could be very embarrassing and expensive to the store if we made a mistake. All right, sir. We understand. Good. Over here. All right. Mr. Donaldson. Mr. Donaldson. Yes, Miss Franklin. Where is she? It's not my fault you've got to believe that. What's the matter, Miss?  You caused trouble with an innocent party and she could sue the store. I'm sorry, Mr. Donaldson. Where is the woman, Miss? That's what I'm trying to tell you. Yes, ma'am. She wouldn't wait. A quick search of the immediate vicinity in the store failed to turn up the suspect. The department's store security staff was notified and a watch was put on all of the doors. The credit department was notified and they took action. We checked with the elevator operators. We found one that told us she'd seen a woman who answered the description getting her car. She explained that the woman seemed to be in a hurry and had left the elevator as soon as it had reached the main floor. A further check of the store netted us nothing. The suspect had escaped. In the downtown crowds, it would have been almost impossible to try to find her on the streets. However, an additional broadcast carrying a complete description of the clothing she was wearing was gotten out to all cars in the area. The first good chance we'd had for apprehending her was gone. We had to go back to the legwork and the waiting. Three months passed. During that time, Frank and I cleaned up a series of counterfeit payroll check cashings. Another 30 days went by without activity for the little mother. There were four new sales slips added to the file, but when the leads resulting from these were checked out, they were no closer to her than we'd been six years before. Thursday, December 17th, 1255 p.m. I checked into the office. Joe, that's you? Yeah. What do you got? I'll just talk to Skipper. Now? Got a couple of more beeps about the little mother. Where'd they come in? This morning. Where are they? Don Myers got them. He's checking the handwriting. Well, how about the names she used? Wait a minute. I got them here in my book. There they are. Mrs. Norris Farrell, Mrs. James Slagle, I guess it is, and Mrs. Ross Neiman. I called the store and got the information on these people. Did you talk to them? Yeah. Asked all the routine stuff. None of them can think of any friends who matched the description. How about the things she charged? Anything there? No. Useful items. See, a pair of Levi's for kids, one child's cotton dress. There's one thing different. What's that? I checked the sizes of the clothes. Last bunch of sales slips we had, the dresses were for a 10-year-old. Well. This time, she bought them for a 12-year-old. Kids are getting bigger, Joe. Now, what's the big help? All we got to do is look for a couple of kids that are growing. Well, I was just trying to help, Joe. No, I mean, it just doesn't seem to be anywhere to go. All the time we've put in, all the people we've talked to, all we got for it is a file drawer all to ourself on the thing. I got it. Forgery Friday. Who? Yes, ma'am. Mm-hmm. Yes, ma'am. I remember. Where is she now? I see. Yeah. We can be right over. Yes, ma'am. Bye. Well, we got it. What do you mean? That was Mrs. Allen. Remember the sales lady over at Beckworth's? Oh, yeah. I think I do. What'd she have to say? Told me she's having lunch in the restaurant at the corner of Jackson and Hill. Yeah. Our suspect's sitting next to her. 1.02 p.m. We checked out of the office and drove over to the restaurant. It was located at the rear of a large drug store. When we came into the place, Mrs. Allen met us at the entrance.  That's her. You sure, ma'am? I'm positive. That's her. All right. Yes. You want to wait here, Mrs. Allen? Certainly. Something you gentlemen want? We're police officers, ma'am. We'd like to talk to you. Police? Yes, ma'am. You want to step over there to talk? Might be better. Well, if you want to say anything to me, you can say it right here. I haven't done anything wrong. Wonder if we can see your identification. Why? Your identification, ma'am. Could we see it? All right. Just a minute. I've got my purse. Getting terrible. I don't know what you officers are trying to find out, but I'm going to tell you right now. If you can't prove you've got a reason for making me do this, you're in trouble. I'm not making you do anything, ma'am. We don't want to cause you any embarrassment. Funny way of showing it. I want to tell you that my husband knows people in this town when he hears about this. Oh, here you are. Here's my driver's license. Would you take it out of your wallet, please? Here. Mrs. Evelyn Nelson? That's who I am. Is this your present address? No, it isn't. We moved a few months ago, but I haven't had a chance to have it changed. Is that all you want? No, Ms. Nelson. It isn't. I wonder if we could talk to you in our office. Why? I always thought you had to arrest people before you could order them around. We're asking you to come over to the city hall with us if you will, ma'am. There are a few things we'd like to check out. What things? I wonder if I can see what you've got in the bags here. What are you looking for? Do you mind if we took a look? Well, there are just some clothes for my children. Nothing in there that interests you. Well, then it wouldn't hurt if we looked, would it? Go ahead. You won't find anything. You want to take a couple of these, Frank? Yeah, I got it. Well, what about it? Did you find anything wrong? Maybe a gun. No, ma'am, but I wonder if you could explain this. What's that? This charge slip here, signed by Mrs. Ross Neiman. Well, certainly that was probably in the bag when I bought the things. I don't know anything about it. All right, Mrs. Nelson. I'm afraid we're going to have to ask you to come with us. On what charge? Suspicion of forgery. You are listening to Dragnet, the authentic story of your police force in action. At Cigarette Dealers. In vending machines. At supermarkets and stores, coast to coast. Chesterfields, please. Smokers by the thousands. Yes, smokers by the thousands are now changing to Chesterfield. The only cigarette ever to give you one proof of low nicotine, highest quality. Chemical analyses of the country's six leading brands confirm that. Two, the only cigarette ever to give you this proven record with smokers. Again and again, over a full year and one half, a group of Chesterfield smokers have been given thorough medical examinations. The doctor's reports are a matter of record. No adverse effects to the nose, throat and sinuses from smoking Chesterfield. A responsible independent research laboratory supervises this continuing program. Chesterfield. The only cigarette ever with a record like this. Chesterfield. Best for you. We return the suspect to the city hall for questioning while Frank checked her name through the files, I tried to get her to talk. For 20 minutes, her attitude was one of surprise and she answered the questions I put to her with indignance. Finally, she lapsed into silence and wouldn't reply at all to further interrogation. Frank came back from our eye with the information that there was no arrest record for Mrs. Nelson. We put out calls to the sales girls who had waited on the little mother in the past and asked them to come down to the office to see if they could identify the suspect. Yes, ma'am. Room 29. Yeah, come right in the first street entrance, that's right, ma'am. There's an arch there, go right through it. Straight down the hall to the right. Well, it's the only way you can go. It's on the left as you go down the hall. That's right, 29. If you ask for Sergeant Friday or Officer Smith. No, ma'am. Smith. That's all right, ma'am. We'll expect you. Goodbye. I'll call the next one. You know you'd save yourself on us a lot of trouble if you'd tell us the truth, Mrs. Nelson. Mrs. Nelson? Ma'am asked me if we'll miss Brundage, please. And children's wear? Yes, ma'am, I will. Hang up the phone. You don't have to go through this anymore. All right, ma'am. You want to tell us about it? Mrs. Nelson? I only did it for them, the kids. I didn't want to. How do you think I felt when I knew I was stealing? How do you think I felt? You want to go ahead? My husband Paul's a good man. All he's done, he thinks he's right. I can't quarrel with him. But he doesn't know he doesn't understand. It isn't that he doesn't love the kids. He does. He really does. It's just that he doesn't understand. You can see that, can't you? He doesn't understand about them. Either way, if you have a handkerchief, I came away this morning without one. Yes, ma'am. Here you are. Thanks. Want to go ahead, please? All his life, he's worked. He's worked for himself, every nickel. Every nickel he made was put away so he'd be able to feel secure. So he wouldn't have to worry about anything. It was all right when we first got married. I could understand it then. I went along with what he thought. But the last few years, it's gotten to be an obsession with him. The almighty dollar, that's all. It seems important to him. What kind of work does your husband do, Mrs. Nelson? He owns a grocery store. Small place, but it does good. Makes a good living. Only we aren't living, we're existing. He gives me ten dollars a week to run the house and buy clothes for the kids. I've tried, lord knows, I've tried budget meals, cheap cuts of meat, day-old bread. Anyway, you spend it. No matter how you figure, ten dollars. Just doesn't go very far. Well, ma'am, Mrs. Nelson, didn't you talk to your husband about it? Didn't you ask him for additional money for the expenses? Yes, I'd ask him. He'd tell me that I had to make due all the time make due just a little longer until he had the money in the bank. Then we'd be all right. Only the more it went on, the worse it got. It didn't seem to make any difference how much money we had, how the total in the passbook went up. He wasn't satisfied. Had to be a little more, a little more. I guess I'm feeling sorry for myself, but, you see, he could afford to buy the kids decent clothes. At least that. He'll agree with me, don't you? Well, that's hard to say, ma'am. Not for me. I'll never forget the day when my boy came home crying. Been fighting. One of the other boys at school had said something about the patches on his clothes. Just a little kid, that's all he was, ridiculed by his friends. That's when I made up my mind to do something about it. Does your husband know anything about your activities? No, nothing. How'd you explain the new clothes for the youngster to him? I didn't have to. Last year, he's been working so hard at the store I hardly ever see him. The kids don't hardly know him. He doesn't know what to do. He doesn't know what to do at the store dressing the windows. You mean he spends all his time there? Every minute he's not asleep. He let one crook he had go so he could save the money. Always save the money. It doesn't make any difference who gets hurt. Get that dollar and put it away. That's what counts. Put the dollar away. You know something, officer? What's that, Ms. Nelson? It's 6.30, one o'clock in the morning. He's up and gone at 6.30. Kids are always asking when Daddy's coming home. How do you answer him? How do you make him understand? I can't. I've tried the only way I know how. And I did it so wrong. All right, Ms. Nelson. We'll try to work it out. Can I use your phone? I've got to tell the children what to do about dinner. I'll call for you if you like, ma'am. Howdywood 98844. Where's your husband now, Ms. Nelson? At the store, I guess. You're going to call him? I think we should, ma'am. Let him know what's happened. I guess so. Somebody's got to take care of the kids. Hello, I'm calling for Mrs. Nelson. I wonder if I can speak to her son. This is Sergeant Friday, Los Angeles Police Department. Who? Yes, no. She's down here now. Room 29. Was that my boy? I wanted to talk to him. No, ma'am. That was your husband. He's on his way down here. 2.14 p.m. Paul Nelson walked into the office. Frank and I took him and his wife to the interrogation room. She'd asked us while we waited for him if we'd let her talk to him for a few minutes alone. We stayed out in the hall, and after a brief wait, Paul Nelson opened the door and asked us to come into the room. His wife had evidently told him the full story because he was visibly shaken. He walked over to his wife and sat down beside her. Well, I guess I've really done it, haven't I? What do you mean, sir? I've really ruined everything. My home, my kids, everything. All the time it was happening, I never knew it. Don't blame yourself too much, Paul. But I should have known I should have seen it myself. Even when you tried to tell me I was too busy to see it, too wrapped up with a business. It wasn't for me, Paul. It was for the children. It doesn't make any difference who it was for. I'm the one who caused it. I'm the one. It's my fault. I'm sorry, Evelyn. How can I ever make it up to you? Don't think about that now, Paul. It won't do any good. What's been done can't be changed. How about it, officer? Sir, what happens now? Well, your wife is going to be given a preliminary hearing. She'll have the chance to plead guilty. If she does, the court will decide what to do. What's the punishment for what she's done? Well, according to section 473 of the penal code, it's imprisonment in the state penitentiary for one to 14 years or for not more than a year in the county jail. Is there any way out of it? What do you mean? Any way you're getting Evelyn out of it, if I went to the judge and told him why she did it, if I told him it was my fault, would that make a difference? I don't know. I'd be up to the court. If I paid the money back for all the things she's taken, I can afford it. I could go to the stores and pay them. Maybe they'd feel different then, huh? I could make it up to them. Everything would be all right. Well, it's been going on for six years, you know. But if I did pay the stores back, it would make it up to them, wouldn't it? Maybe, but how about your wife? What? How are you going to make it up to her? 4.30 p.m., the suspect was released on a writ. The next afternoon, Frank and I met with Mr. and Mrs. Nelson and their attorney. We talked over the case. But the husband's change of heart was permanent. He swore that he'd never give his wife cause for unhappiness again. Two weeks later, in Department 89 of the Superior Court, Mrs. Nelson entered a plea of guilty to 14 counts of forgery. When the court reviewed the circumstances and was informed that Mr. Nelson intended to make full restitution, the probation board recommended that Mrs. Nelson be placed on probation for three years. After the hearing, Frank and I had a brief talk with a couple. They thanked us for our consideration and understanding. Apparently, the cause of trouble between the Nelsons and the Nelsons. Another two weeks went by. January 22nd, Frank and I got back from lunch and we checked into the office. Here they are, dear. Mr. Friday, Mr. Smith? Mrs. Nelson, Mr. Nelson, how are you? Just fine, Sergeant. How are you two? Fine. Thank you very much, ma'am. What can we do for you? That's what we want to do for you. You got the boxes, honey? Yeah. Here they are. It's not much, but we thought that you'd like it. No, no, we wanted to. Tollhouse cookies. He made a box for each of you. Real good. Lots of chocolate. Well, that's very nice of you. We just hope you'll enjoy him. Yes, ma'am. I'm sure we will. Yes, ma'am. How are things going with you? Well, just fine. Paul and I have gotten everything straightened out. I help him out of the store now. That way he's got more time to spend with the kids. Things just couldn't be much better. Well, we're glad to hear that. It's a funny thing to say, Mr. Friday, but it's true. The best thing that ever happened to us. What's that, Mrs. Nelson? I'm not interested. You've just heard. It's true. The names were changed to protect the innocent. On January 8th, the meeting was held in the county probationer's office in and for the county of Los Angeles, state of California. In a moment, the results of that meeting. Now, here is our star, Jack Webb. Thank you, George Fenerman. Friends, we've been getting letters from people all over the country telling us that they've switched to Chesterfield. Just as I've been telling you, thousands of smokers are changing to Chesterfield because only Chesterfield gives proof of low nicotine, highest quality. That's why I recommend you try them today. Regular or king size, you'll find Chesterfield best for you. At the end of three years, Mrs. Evelyn Margaret Nelson had fulfilled the requirements of her probation, and the case was officially marked closed.

Sailors and Marines on board the amphibious assault ship USS Pellily participated in a memorial field day in remembrance of the 26 victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. We have each sign and it says the name of a victim and then it also has a workout. So while they're doing that 60 seconds of that struggling through that workout, they're actually thinking of that person and that victim. The participants did exercises such as eight count bodybuilders and dumbbell carries. We always take this opportunity to do things like this because people back home support us so much we want to do what we can to support them. From USS Pellily, I'm Petty Officer Valerie Grayson.


Nevertheless, HRM has to be taken seriously, HR process and system has to be taken up seriously by small firms as well for many reasons. First is that there is a legal risk, if they do not take the HRM practices seriously. They may miss out something on the recruitment, compensation, working condition, working hours which are statutorily identified. If that happens, firm will be in problem, they may face the complaints and they have to face the labor code or even other codes, civil codes etcetera. So, if they do not take into account the HRM practices, they may miss out on some legal requirements. We will discuss some of the distribution feature of the new code of labor in the later part of this session. Secondly, not having a dedicated HR person can slow the company decisions and can overwhelm its managers. We know that managers are mostly involved and suddenly in the small firms, they are involved in operations, sales operations or production operations, services operations etcetera. They may find it difficult to take time out to carry out the HR processes systematically and efficiently. That can overwhelm them and since they are busy in their own work, that can delay the HR process like recruitment. Recruitment requires generating the good pool of the candidates, searching their resume, shortlisting the most appropriate resume for the post. Then conducting several tests, based on the test, we can shortlist the candidates again. Then those shortlisted candidates are called for the interviews. All this is the part of any recruitment process. Even if you are recruiting two people, one person in your team, one has to do all these activities and practicing managers may not have time to do all this in the small firm. So, that is why it is useful to have the dedicated HR professional or someone amongst the manager who is given clearly a responsibility of managing HR function. So not having a HR person can suddenly slow down the company decision making. Without human resource information system, paperwork can become very time consuming. There has to be someone who can look at, who can have the overview of the different organizational activities particularly related to HRM and can identify the appropriate format, can do the data entry, can look at the trained, can maintain the files, maintain the data. So all these are important activities. All these are inevitable activities in any firm without HR person or dedicated HR person. This may be difficult to be done by the practicing manager. Efficient hiring, efficient training, appraisal, compensation. All these activities require sufficient knowledge about the available option, sufficient knowledge about the legal requirements, sufficient overview of the market conditions. They have to balance out, there has to be a need for balancing the expenses on all these activities and on the core compensation. So there are lot of things, lot of factors related to HRM which have to be managed, which have to be considered before any one particular activity is finalized. And for that we need a specialist who has understanding theoretical and practical understanding of most of these activities. That is why also a dedicated HR person is needed even in the small firm.  Small firms by nature have certain characteristics like familiarity, flexibility, fairness, informality and these things have to be used, have to be used as positive assets for the small firms. Like simple informal selection procedure that can be adopted by small firms and this selection procedure can be primarily done based on the references and quick work sample test. Improving performance HR tools for line managers are abundant in number. We will look at those, we will look at some of those tools. Those tools require little bit of customization but many of them are very efficient. So they can be quickly implemented, they can be quickly installed in the small firms. In training, there are lots of open programs being offered by many training houses, many educational institutions. So organization, small organization need not to have separate training department but if there is someone who is a nudging employees, who is someone keeping the track on the performance appraisal data, they can mutually discuss about the available training programs across the world. If we are talking about the online program and they can look at the many training programs in person offered in many IMs and many other IITs or many other institutions. So these programs can replace the in-house training activities for the small firms. But important thing is that there has to be someone, maybe the supervisor himself, owner himself or herself or and the employee, they together have to finalize what is the most appropriate training program for them. Small firms also have the benefits of flexibility in giving financial and non-financial rewards. Those flexibilities must be judiciously used by HR professionals to attract the talent. There are some simple retirement plans available. For example, the acronym SIMPLE stands for Saving Incentive Match Plan for Employees. They are being offered by many insurance companies. Those can be taken up. In India, there is a very widely applied national pension scheme is available. Their employer and employee both can contribute. All these are long-term investment. The national pension fund is used by the experts and some amount of money is invested in the market. Returns are expected on those. So NPS is also something which is readily available to which any employer and employee can link their simple retirement benefits. Fairness and family business issues, those also are important activities. Many-many MSMEs are family-owned. So they need to take care of the fairness. So they need to avoid the partiality including setting ground rules, treating people fairly, confronting family issues, erasing privileges for the family members. All those things have to be taken care of, have to be done in the small firms and owned by family, by a family. When we talk about family-owned MSMEs and large number of MSMEs are family-owned, we need to dwell with few questions like, what are the family-based antecedents of HRM? How do family members interact with non-family member employees? How do families manage HRM practices that are unique to family firms? What are the consequences of those HRM practices for the firm? These questions are in-depth analyzed in this special issue of human resource management. Those who are more interested to know and to have more in-depth study about the HRM issues in the family-owned firm can refer this article and go to that special issue of human resource management journal. There are some special features of family-owned businesses in terms of HRM. So first is the positive hello effect. That means all founders have imprint processes based on their behaviors and the norms they follow on the HR practices of the firm. Those imprints can be useful as well as harmful. Families need to recognize that once certain thing comes as the imprint of the follower, it need not be always there. Human generations can re-imprint based on their norms and their processes and that can keep the HR function of the new habits can be developed, new cultural values can be instilled and of course new HRM practices can be implemented. So re-imprint is possible but we need to recognize that imprint is a inevitable feature of the family-owned business in terms of the impact of the founder on the HR systems and processes. Another thing is called bifurcation effect. This is a situation when family member employees are treated differently from non-family member employee. There has to be conscious effort to remain fair in the treatment of the family member employees and non-family member employees. If the family member employees are given extraordinary privileges, unfair looking privileges that can demotivate the non-family member employees. So that has to be taken care of. You must have heard some examples about some of the business leaders whose sons or daughters joined business and they have to go through the same rigor as management training or shop floor workers as any other employee had to go through. These are great exemplars. These examples suggest that these business leaders want to reduce the bifurcation bias to the extent possible. Socioeconomic wealth is again a very important feature of family-owned businesses. That is reflection of the bounding and attachment of different family firms founder. This wealth shapes the business objectives and culture both. Social emotional wealth arises out of the bounding of the family members that can act as a glue, that can act as excellent positive medium to resolve conflict that also result into formation of positive identity for the business. So whenever we are talking about family business, we need not to look at only the turn of financial turnover. We also need to take care of the socio-emotional wealth of the firms as well. There is something called spatial triad in the family business. This triad is the reflection of a social exchange between family leader, non-family CEO and old generation family owner. Interaction between these three, interaction among these three decides the tenure of CEOs in the firm. If this interaction is pleasant, if this interaction is functional, productive, CEOs tend to stay with the family-owned firm. But if this interaction of the three parties is not pleasant, it is not legal or if it is not productive, CEOs look out for opportunity, other options and then they move on and CEO turnover increases. So spatial triad must be carefully understood and managed in the family business. HR can play a significant, very important role in ensuring that interaction and social exchange within this spatial triad remain productive and remain pleasant. Nepotism is also a natural feature and can be detrimental in the family business. Companies which are focused, which are primarily concerned for having their influence and control on the business, they play the nepotism more often and that nepotism generally has negative impact of HRM as well as the productivity of the firm. Those firms, those family-owned firms where family is focused on the positive identity of the family, there you will see much less of nepotism. Mentor prodigy combination that also happens to take interesting twist in family firm based on who is mentor and who is prodigy. If family members are the mentor as well as prodigy, then mentoring generates greater normative commitment amongst the prodigy which is about following the values and standing for those values with which organization is known for. But when the prodigy is external person or so-called professional and mentor is a family man, then the pro-social mentoring continues, but the purpose, but that result into affective commitment amongst the prodigy. So, they feel more emotionally connected, more emotionally invested in the firm. So, this mentor-prodigy relationship is interesting in the family firm, so it has to be consciously developed. If we look at all the six features of family firm, positive hello effect, bifurcation effect, socio-emotional wealth, special triad in family business, nepotism, mentor-prodigy combination, all these six features can be significantly affected by the HR professional or HR manager or HR executive of the firm. HR executive can play very positive role in managing all these features. They can help business leaders to reduce the positive hello effect or analyze or reflect on the positive hello effect. They can make the family conscious of bifurcation bias and in this way, they can nudge the family not to practice the bifurcation bias. They can make also the founders family aware of the socio-economic wealth and they can help in building those health. On the special triad, HR can play a significant role in being a mediator and ensuring the positive nature of interaction between the old generation family owner, new generation family members and non-family CEO. They can make them aware about the nepotism and help the family owners for decreasing the nepotism and its negative effect. They can also influence up mentor-prodigy combination. So, we can see that HR can play a very significant role in managing the overall culture and climate of a family owned business. Small firms can use many professional employer organizations. Those organizations which specialize on specific HR activities like PF management, performance management system, recruitment, training and development, many HR functions can be outsourced by the small firms to the professional employer organizations.


This study found that 75.7 percent of female and 72.6 percent of male newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients had dyslipidemia. Factors associated with dyslipidemia included gender, age, body mass index, BMI, waist circumference, physical inactivity, and smoking or tobacco use. These results highlight the importance of screening for dyslipidemia in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients and emphasize the need for interventions to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Good morning you guys. Actually, it's more like good afternoon But I was not planning on filming this video today if I'm honest And I was just gonna stay in bed all day Because I was having a rough night last night and a rough morning But I honestly wanted to film the video that I was gonna film tomorrow But instead I wanted to do this video and be a little bit vulnerable with you guys So it's like 12 o'clock and I'm still in bed last night I was just having the worst period crabs and I was also like in my head and whenever I'm a period I just have so many anxious thoughts and I just I don't know It just makes me feel really sad sometimes and it's I feel like it's emotions and hormones that I can't control So I just kind of have to get through them last night. I was kind of getting in my head about like Me feeling a little sad that I miss home I don't have a home base if you guys are new here I am currently in Europe and I'm just like staying in Airbnb's and don't get me wrong I'm so happy here like this is the best thing we've ever done But it also comes with the other side of it where there's growing pains Because this is something that I've never done in my life before Like I've never been away from home from this long This is so out of our comfort zones, especially because we're such home bodies So last night I was just like getting in my head about it I'm like, oh my god, I missed my family. Was this the right decision? Like I want to go home. I want a home base again And then I woke up this morning and I felt better about it But I didn't go to bed until like really late because I was having really bad period crabs Plus my mind was just like going everywhere. I was really sad But anyways, I was just gonna not get out of bed today Like I was literally just going to sleep all day or just be on my phone and watch Netflix But I decided to turn around my day because I want to show you guys that it is possible to do that And it all starts within your mindset It really depends on how you look at things And if you're talking negatively to yourself, then that's only going to make matters worse And so this morning I started to say positive things to myself Rather than call myself lazy and all this stuff all about perspective and dwelling on the past Like who cares what happened this morning? Who cares what happened last night? We're gonna move past that because the past does not even exist anymore The only thing that exists is this present moment And if I just dwell on the past, then you're just ruining the present We are going to get out of bed. We're gonna have a productive day We're gonna save this half wasted day I don't even want to call it a half wasted day because I'm good I did waste it But at the same time like everything happens for a reason And you have to realize like when you have days like this like it's okay And it's totally normal like life is like this constantly up and down And it's ebb and flow of life in order to feel happiness You need to feel sadness, advice first stop So that's the mindset that we're taking on today And we're gonna have a productive day no matter what my morning look like And yeah, I'm just like super into being you know in my routine Like all my videos about are about productivity But I just want to show you guys and be vulnerable that things like this happen to me I'm not perfect. Nobody's perfect And it's just all in your mindset how you're gonna turn things around And grow from here and move on. Let's just get our day started Let's stop rambling and let's have a good rest of our day together First thing we're gonna do is put our phone down and not go on that anymore Even just me being up right now makes me feel so much better But as you can see my room is quite a mess and I really want to tidy things up And that'll make me feel like a million times better So I think what I'm gonna do is I am going to just like make the bed And then we can tidy the room right away I also want to get a load of laundry on so let's do that quickly And then we'll do our morning routine Instead of going because usually my morning routine I would go do my yield and meditation at this point But I'm so hungry. It's already halfway through the day So we have to adapt and I'm gonna make probably like my healthy oatmeal bowls So that it makes me feel good super easy and quick to make So we'll do that quickly eat breakfast have my coffee And then we will go to the beach and I think I want to Not just do my yoga meditation there But I kind of want to turn there until there today for a bit So yeah, let's get our breakfast or breakfast and lunch come back I'm gonna do too much to my face today. I just put on some sunscreen And I don't know. I'm not feeling like a full makeup day But I still do kind of want to make myself look, you know, presentable And make myself kind of get myself a bit together Because I have been doing that every day and it makes me feel good And usually on a day like this, you guys, I would not get myself ready at all Like I would just honestly be staying at this point But if you just put in like that little bit of effort Just to make yourself feel like ready for the day and good Then it's going to make the world of a difference throughout your day You're gonna thank yourself for it We're kind of taught to like beat ourselves up for having a lazy day And that we need to be productive machines all the time But the reality of it is that it's normal Like it's completely normal Obviously if you are laying in bed all day every single day Then that can become an issue But a couple days or one day that happens It is okay And I still honestly don't feel my best right now Like I'm not at my peak happiness that I could be But I know that once I go through the day at the end of the day I'm gonna be happy that I didn't just lay in bed all day And that I actually did something with my day And it doesn't have to be anything like productive It can literally just be you going out for a walk But you guys, this is my last video that I'm filming in this Airbnb Which is crazy because I am moving locations So yeah, it's kind of sad that this is the last video in this Airbnb But I'm really excited for what's to come and everything On days where I don't feel like wearing mascara I've been putting aquafor on my eyelashes And it kind of makes them look like they have something on them which is nice I got this tip in the comments You guys said to use Vaseline But I don't have Vaseline So I'm guessing aquafor works just the same It's got changed I think I'm just gonna wear these shorts And then I have the bikini I might just put a shirt on to walk there But just the little beach fit of the day And now I'm just gonna do my yoga and meditation On the beach and just take a chill I'm just gonna see what I want to do Not force myself to be productive today Just give myself some grace because I know I'm not feeling good I didn't have a good night Didn't have a good morning So I'm gonna be really easy on myself today But let's head to the beach I just got back from the beach I ended up going to like this beach that I've never been to Well it's like the same beach that's near me But it's like a different opening that I've always wanted to go to So I'm like you know what There's no better day than today to go try that out Since I was feeling a little low And like it's always cool to go experience new things And it was really cool The only thing is it was so windy Like I wanted to like tan But I honestly couldn't because the wind was just crazy And it was like blowing sand everywhere So I'm like you know what I just did my yoga meditation And then just kind of walked around for a bit And then I'm like okay time to go Because I cannot tan here with the amount of wind there is Like I wanted to vlog there and like talk But I couldn't because of the amount of wind Like you guys would not have been able to hear me But anyways I came home and the laundry Like you know I put my laundry in before The laundry machine is like not working It's saying error So I don't know how to fix it I'm not going to try to fix it Because it's like not artless It's just an Airbnb So like whatever we're leaving in a couple of days anyways So I think I'm gonna go to a laundry mat Because my clothing right now is like half wet Because it like started And then it just said error now So I don't know what to do I tried to restart it like a couple times But it just keeps saying error So I think I'm gonna take my wet soggy clothes To the laundry mat I haven't been but apparently like the Airbnb host Told us that there was one just like down the road here It was kind of a bummer that it was so windy I couldn't stay to tan Because it really wanted to sit tan at the beach today It was like hot But since there's so much wind It like makes you a little bit cold So I just like it was just wasn't the vibe today But that's okay Because we still did our yoga meditation out there Which is really nice But yeah I'm looking at the weather right now There's a literal wind warning But anyways I guess let's go to the laundry mat Okay I just put a crew neck on because it's windy And then I have my laundry in here It's so disgustingly wet But we're gonna get that all sorted Just got back from the laundry mat I actually sounded fine It was like literally five minute walk away I gotta go back in like 20 minutes to dry it But in the meantime I think I'm just going to do a little bit of editing So I can at least get something done today It's my little grocery haul I literally just got oranges and a tomato So random But we just needed more oranges And then I wanted tomato for tonight's dinner But yeah I've been literally going to the grocery store every day Because I've just been getting a small amount every day Because the produce here it goes bad so fast So you kind of need to buy it every day Or every second day But yeah That's just the little haul I wanna stop motion Stand still Wallace and Gromit I wanna talk more endlessly I wanna neuratically vomit I want more dollars for my mama I want a palace in Prada I want a Gucci bag where I can store my sorrows and hardships I wanna go play my parties I want endless tomorrows I want a lot more than I got right now That's proper You could give me every little thing I'd ever want But I'd never have enough To the day I had it all day You can give me every little thing I ever want I mean Joel just went on a walk And oh my god the sun is so pretty The sunset was so pretty It was like one of the most beautiful sunsets We've had since we were here And I'm so happy we went out to go on a walk But yeah overall I'm just so happy that I turned around today And I feel so much better Like especially after getting myself out of bed And like doing something with my day Going outside Spending so much time in nature today And especially that evening walk Just made me feel so good In more little lines now And if I just stayed in bed all day I would feel like crap honestly And then it would just lead into the next day But I'm happy that I pushed myself And kind of just erased the past Like I'm not gonna feel guilty about My morning that I slept in until like 12 So it's fine You just can't dwell on things like that But anyways I'm just gonna shower now And get ready for bed Nothing hits like a shower at night before bed Oh my gosh And then I'm probably just gonna read in bed But anyways let's go shower And get ready for bed It was such a good day And I hope I motivated you guys


Okay, Freedom Family, let's get real today and talk about a big issue. Bullying. Bully ying. Bully ying. Hey, and if you do it, you should be ashamed. And I'm going to tell your mama, and your grandma, and your sisters, and your favorite third grade teacher. Yeah, I went there. And then we find out who the three lucky winners are in the $100,000 sponsorship powered by Freedom. I'm your host Tiffany, and you're watching Impulse. Thanks Tiffany, and hello Freedom Family. I've had a few people ask me for some advice about bullying, whether it's in real life or from trolls online.  Nobody likes bullies. It's mean. Stop it. And if you're being bullied, I want to let you know that you will get through this. Life goes on, and it gets so much better. You just have to live through it. Growing up and getting out of high school is the most magical thing that will forever change your life. I actually had a pretty rough time in high school. I wasn't super bullied, but I was pretty left out of a lot of things. And I want you to know that now I'm pretty far away from the person that I was way back then. I could go on for days about how awkward I was and the weird stories that my friends still like to tell about me. But instead, I would much rather tell you about how the experiences that I went through have helped shape who I am today. Life is about living, learning, and making lots of mistakes that you learn from. And trust me, being young is such a hard thing to do. The teenage years are terrible, but you will get through them.  There's always someone who cares, even if it's not necessarily the person that you want to care for you, like the person you got the crush on or the most popular girl in school. But there's always somebody. You can't forget that. If you look around you, I bet that there's someone who's feeling exactly the same way as you are. So I encourage you, no, I dare you, to go and say hi. Just sit down next to them and have a conversation and get to know them. You never, ever know how much things could change just by saying hi to someone. You could change their life and it could change your life for the better. It all starts with you. Let's take a short break and head back to Tiffany to announce today's runners up for our $100,000 sponsorship powered by freedom. Thanks, Brittany. Bullying is a common topic, so I'm glad you're shining some light on it. And now in no particular order, let's announce that two runners up in the $100,000 sponsorship picked by Heartbeat Crow. And as always, you get to choose from these lovely prizes brought to you by our partners with freedom. And if you want to learn more about the $100,000 sponsorship, click in that lovely video in the sidebar for more information. And now to Rick, who knows a little bit too much about bullying. Our first runner up is T. Gray. T. Gray advises to be personally active on your social media sites instead of having a third party create auto messages for your followers. Our next runner up is CarPlay's Games. CarPlay's proclaims that as long as you love creating videos instead of worrying about the dark side of YouTube, then you will stay motivated to get one step closer to that successful channel. Congratulations, freedom partners. And remember, you are still eligible to win a. You're eligible to win first prize in a future episode of Impulse. Yeah, you are. And now back to Brittany for some more information on bullying and what to do if it's happening to you. Thanks, Tiffany. And congratulations, freedom partners. All right, so I know that there's a lot of people who are saying that they get bullied for making YouTube videos. And the one thing that I have to say to you is, do you enjoy what you're doing on YouTube? And if you're having a good time and you like what you do, then who cares what anyone else says? Maybe they're just jealous and not as creative and fun to be doing what you're doing. Ever think about that? Don't let them get you down. Do you know the best thing that YouTube can bring you? Friends from all over the world. It's amazing. I can't even count on both hands how many friends I've made in the past year that I actually talked to on a regular basis and consider really good friends. YouTube is also a really great tool to help you grow yourself, for you, not for them. Me, I can't even begin to tell you how strange I was when it came to small talk and having little conversations with people. And while I'm not 100% perfect at it, I am still like a thousand times better than I was, which is saying a lot. And in the past year, I have actually felt myself grow and it's just been an amazing journey of self growth. I hope that you guys found my advice at least a little bit helpful and relatable.  You're unique and amazing and don't ever let anyone try and change that. Thank you guys so much for watching. Let's take it back to Tiffany one last time for our grand prize winner of today's sponsorship. Okay, is it me or is she seriously the cutest thing ever? Hey, she's got her hair. She's like Elsa with a nose ring. And now for the moment you've all been waiting for, let's see who's going to take home $250 in grand prizes. And of course, you get to choose from all these lovely products brought to you by partners with freedom. And now back to Rick, who should really take notes on this video. And today's winner is Blithe Gaming HD. Blithe Gaming states that by knowing your audience, you'll be able to cater to their entertainment desires. He was extremely active in the comments and says that he'll remember Mike's filmmaking advice as he wants to produce movies in the future. Congratulations, Blithe Gaming HD. In the immortal words of Bruce Campbell, you are groovy. Hope you guys enjoyed this episode of Impulse and tomorrow Anthony is going to go over some super neat gaming glasses. Until next time, I'm your host Tiffany and I'm like a ninja. I'm gonna be like Santa in the Batmobile watching you. Be good. And now in no particular order, let's announce those two winners up. Winner, winner's up? It's a winner's up. It's a winner's up. And now in no particular order, let's announce the two runners up in the $100,000 sponsorship powered by Heartbeat. Picked by Heartbeat Chrome. Yeah. Jack, I'm watching you. Jack, Jack, you're rubbing on the camera stand. Don't chew the camera stand. Excuse us, we're having technical difficulties today. Big truck. Audio nightmares. Yeah. I think I'm buying you insulation. Super neat-o. Super neat-o.


What's up, coach?  If you have tried this before, I want you to try it again. Here's what it is.  So I'm going to give you an example. Let's say you charge $50 per session, you typically meet once per week. If they come once per week over a month, that's them coming four times. If they came four times per month over the next three months, that would be them coming to 12 sessions. So instead of charging like $50 per session, right, that'd be like $200 per month. Take 200 times three, that's like $600 up front.  So you'd be getting paid $550 up front instead of $50 per session, right? So go in with the $550 offer, as the core offer. Do this regularly over the next week or the next two weeks and see what happens with your business. And here's the thing. I've seen it happen so much now with coaches that we work with. When they start tweaking their pricing and they start getting paid up front, they get client to a more committed. They get client to a more consistent. Because think about it, when someone gives you that much money up front, they're obligated to show up to the sessions. All right, because they've already given you the money, right? That is very different than paying session by session. Please utilize this. This is something that's helped a lot of coaches that we work with. And the same thing applies to where, like, let's say you charge way more per session. All right, you don't charge $50, let's say you charge $100 per session. Same thing applies, all right? So hopefully use this. If you have any questions for me, reach out to me at this number below. I'm going to show my number there. I'm going to talk about your business. You want to see what it is that we do and how we help coaches. Reach out to me at that number there. Love the chat with you. See you later.


Hey, it's Flare. Let's talk about those percent based commands that people have all the time in their Twitch channels. In other people's chats, I've had these commands tell me how lovable I am, how nasty, how cheesy, how creepy, etc. The idea is that users type the command and then Cloudbot generates a random number and uses that as part of the output. It's very simple and very fun and it's a great engagement tool to give people something to do in chat during lulls and conversation. I also find that once one person uses one of these types of commands, you usually get a lot of other people joining in too. Let's get started setting it up. I'll assume you're already logged into Streamlabs, have toggled on Cloudbot, and have given Streamlabs mod permissions in your channel. If you haven't, check out my video linked in the description and then come back. In the left navigation, choose Cloudbot. In the horizontal navigation on the Cloudbot page, click Commands and then Custom. Click the Add command button. We're not going to use a template to make the command, so you can leave that dropdown blank. For the command, set what you want the user to type. For this example, we'll use exclamation awesome. For the message, use a variation of this string. User.name is random 0 to 100% awesome. You want to keep the user.name and the random thing alone. Those are variables, but you can move them around and just change the text around them to suit your liking. If you need help formatting this the way you want, let me know in the comments and I'll help or maybe even someone else from the community will. Keep the permission set to everyone unless you have a particular need to lock your command down to VIPs or moderators. Now you can click Confirm and you should be good to go. To test, let's go over to the chat and type exclamation awesome. If it works, you should see the message from Cloudbot pop up with a random percentage and your message. While you think about what kind of word you want to use for this command, go watch this other tutorial on Cloudbot commands.
