Dysfunction In The Workplace?
Roxanne Emmerich, author of the best seller Thank God It’s Monday and a good friend of mine, just reported the latest research about dysfunction in the workplace.

1.     Over 91% of people spend a huge chunk of their day frustrated by their coworkers’ dysfunctional behavior and think regularly about quitting their job.

2.     Managers waste about 37% or more of their day dealing with dysfunctional behavior.

3.     One out of every three payroll dollars is lost for good due to disengaged employees.

I Experienced A New First For Me!
A couple of weeks ago, I spoke to the United States Postal Service (USPS) Mail Handlers Union members, as well as supervisors and managers. The program was Managing Your Stress In Difficult Times.

I experienced a New First for me as I had to conduct one of my sessions from 1 to 3 in the morning because there were people working on different shifts;. That’s right 1am to 3am in the morning. To make sure I was “up and awake” for it, I simply meditated for about 15 minutes right before the start of the session. So…even though it ended at 3 a.m., 100% of the participants rated the program Excellent!

Feedback On The Teplitz Email Report
I just attended the National Speaker Association’s Annual Convention, where I go to get educated about how to be a better speaker and how to run my keynote and seminar business more effectively. I’ve been a member 30 years so I know a lot of the attendees.

I was excited to learn how many people read and use the information that I publish in this monthly report. Knowing these blurbs are interesting and elping people sure keeps me motivated to continue writing them every month.

I’d appreciate it if you’d email me about how something I’ve written may have helped you in your life.

Taking Multivitamins May Help You Live Longer
Research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that the cells of multivitamin users may have a younger blood cell age than the cells of non-users.

The researchers examined the length of women’s telomeres, which are located at the end of each cell. Each time the cell reproduces, the telomere shortens and when it’s totally gone, the cell dies.

The researchers analyzed the multivitamin use, nutrient intake and telomere length in 586 women. The daily multivitamin users’ telomeres were on average 5.1% longer. This result means that taking a multivitamin may be one of the easiest things you can do to increase your cells’ longevity.

Getting Through The Medicare Doughnut Hole
As you may know, people on Medicare and taking needed prescription drugs, can fall into the “doughnut hole,” which means that they have to pay 100% of the cost of their medications out of their own pocket. Once their medical out-of-pocket expenses have reached the catastrophic level, the government will pay for their meds.

Now you have an online tool, the AARP Doughnut Hole Calculator, that will give you some options to either avoid or postpone the “doughnut hole” altogether.

The tool, which will tell you when you might hit the hole and gives tips on how to stay out of the hole, is located at http://linkbee.com/DoughnutTool. The site automatically lists less expensive medication alternatives.

Forging Deeds And Stealing Homes
A new scam has popped up that can make it easy for someone to steal your house! A scammer goes to your local city hall where they look up your property records. The scammer then purchases a property transfer form for $10, forges your signature and files the paperwork with the city or county recorder’s office. In many states, the recorder’s office is not required to authenticate the identities of buyers or sellers. In states where they require IDs, the crooks are creating fake IDs.

The “new owner” of your home can sell it at a discount to a cash-paying buyer (who is also scammed) or they can use the collateral in your house to get a new loan while taking a lot of the cash value out of the house.

The scammers are targeting homes that are paid for because it’s easier to get a loan from a lender when there is no existing mortgage.

A reporter for the NY Daily News was actually able to buy the Empire State Building with doctored documents. (He immediately transferred it back, as he was just investigating the possibility of doing this.)

So…what can you do to protect yourself?

1.     Occasionally check your records with your registrar’s office.

2.     If you receive a new mortgage payment book, contact the company that sent it immediately.

3.     Demand that your deed-recording office uses software that alerts homeowners whenever a transfer is made on their property.

4.     If you discover your home was stolen, contact your local and state law enforcement officers.

Is God Inside The Brain Or Outside
Barbara Bradley Hagerty, religious correspondent for NPR, recently wrote about a woman who had brain surgery. Besides being under during the surgery, all the blood was drained from her brain in order to do the procedure. When she was conscious again, she was able to describe the operating theatre, who was there, the surgical tools that were used and even the exact conversations between the staff.

All of this raises questions as to whether consciousness is inside the brain or is it somehow being transmitted to us. Are we similar to a radio receiver tuning in to the signals being sent to us?

(Reported USA Today June 22, 2009)

The researchers suggested doing resistance training at least two days a week. Time wise, all you need to be doing is one set of repetitions with enough weight to reach your muscles’ fatigue level.

So…lift that barge, tote that bale and keep from getting cancer.

I'd like to thank the many of you who took the time to write me about the programs and how excited you were.  We are certainly using them for all our online purchases from now on!

Don’t forget, these programs have an additional benefit aside from paying you commission cash-back on your own purchases - if you refer your friends, they reward you directly! ....so “friends don’t let friends pay retail"!  For those that didn’t take advantage, you can still do so here: http://linkbee.com/EbatesCash

Oh, and I just found out that they have another of those Restaurant Certificates 80%-off, so if you wanted to get more (for friends, family, gifts), you can still do so for $2 each, plus 20% cash-back through August 13th.  You'll find the latest coupon code on the link we posted for you above. I personally ordered a number of Spirit of Norfolk Dinner Cruise certificates, among several other of my favorite local restaurants!
