The Monk of Mokha” is the third in his series of real-life accounts of immigrants to America caught in the jaws of history. In the book, Mokhtar Alkhanshali is a doorman at a posh apartment building, where he spends his days waving in chandelier repairmen and pet nutritionists. Dave Eggers chronicles Alkhanshali’s headstrong, harrowing and ultimately inspirational journey to begin a business in a country descending into civil war. The book also goes into a concise history of coffee and its roots in Yemen, reports on a coffee culture where consumers can be as demanding as sommeliers, and sketches out the strife that has devastated Yemen since 2011’s Arab e story weaves through all of these elements with Alkhanshali establishing his own business brining all of these threads together. For folks who have read and liked “What Is the What” and “Zeitoun, this is sure to please.
Strengths Finders is an perfect method to support managers understand the strengths of their direct reports and for peers to understand each other. This is a fast and simple assessment and all of my staff found that the report of their top 5 strengths nailed their attitudes and abilities. I had my managers each read the first section of the book, then take the assessment, and then I compiled the results into a matrix and had them read only those sections that applied to the strengths that were identified on the team. This allowed us to avoid reading 40% of the strengths, since none of us had them. That created the exercise fun, fast, and useful. At this Amazon price, you can't go wrong for an inexpensive method to uplift your squad and learn how better to work together.
This application is the worst. It is constantly force closing and it takes all day to load. even though it says take pic or video it dosent work only works with the videos u have already taken. They're have been 3 updates on the week I have had it and none of them have done any good. I cannot wait until my research group is over. I hope I never have to use this again
Freezes, does update, having to Uninstall and re install to create it work. I like the layout and the color but now whenever I begin the application it's black and can barely read and respond the questions. Also I've been told by a lot of users that it doesn't work well on iPhone well I have an android... so it's not just iphones
Here's what you need to know about StrengthsFinder 2.0:- Buy the book new. Each copy contains a scratch off passcode that gives you access to the StrengthsFinder 2.0 test. It can only be used once and the book is a waste without the test.- The book itself is largely a description of the strengths measured by the test. It's a companion to the try and not something you wold read on its own, but it does a amazing job of bringing the try to life.- The try is worth the price of admission. It's 177 rapid-fire questions that reveal the top five themes, or strengths associated with your personality. Knowing these strengths is critical, because they are unchangeable traits that will enable you to succeed to your fullest potential.- I also purchased the Amazon recommended Emotional Intelligence 2.0. I enjoyed it immensely as well.
Horrible application that ive had to use for several years. It gets worse with each update. Clockut time changes on its own. Clock in/out disappears often. A lot of ppl depend on this application to obtain paid. It either needs a complete fix or be created to pay us the cash were losing with all the errors. I don't have time to call customer service and my office everyday, all day because of technical issues.
Absolutely the worse application I've ever which involve a persons work history, pay, and livelyhood. Clock Out times are 90% wrong. This sorry, low grade application doesn't let screen shots to verify any disputes. Thus, making "Phenix" digital records the "Holy Grail". "The devil is a liar with these inaccurate accounts and records." It is a Labor Law Violation to be robbing workers of their actual time worked and not be compensated properly. This is out right unethical by all means. Rate 0 stars.
I clocked out using this application since I got it a couple of months or so ago . The latest 7 days my clock out did not present up so I have to fill out resolutions to be paid. I was told I had to " update" the application but how ? And for some reason my phone says I cannot screenshot so I can have proof ...ugh
This application was working fine until there was a 2nd modernize from the Google play store. I would log in in the morning and then when it's time to log out, I log in and my login wasn't there from this morning. So I have to do a 2nd log in again, and it happened yesterday too. I really liked the old version, this one sucks. So now I'm gon have to log via the IVR system by phone ugh.
I actually enjoyed this application a small better when I first updated it. But now I'm constantly being called into the office to present them that I am working [email protected]#$% off while going to school too. I barely have time between classes, and clients to go into the office to modernize my hours and my pay is constantly being chop due to unsynced hours on this app. This seriously needs to be fixed!
Fresh ver is garbage. Clock in/out times aren't showing up in the app, especially on weekends. Forced check outs (usully after midnight) also aren't showing up correctly, or at all. Non-stop issues for over a month. Uninstalled/reinstalled several times, also formatted my phone & started from scratch: no change.
I liked it at first but now I dont. several calls from my supervisor about me not clocking out and doing my appointments when I have. my appointments won't present up on the system at times. I hold getting this sync error when I check out which messes me and MY MONEY up. I've un/reinstalled this application multiple times, it eventually goes back to doing the same things as before tried to screen shot my appointments for proof but that won't wrk either. I wrk my as off I wish my pay. plz fix this application
Keeps saying im not clocked in for my shifts i create the mistake of trusting that im clocked in to obtain messages in the middle of my shift saying i missed my appointment. Like seriously im working [email protected]#$% off for nothing. I dont have time to constantly be going to the office to fix my hours because this application doesnt work for nothing!
Why does it say your to far away from client when your standing at the door ,I had to call to clock in. Also why did my log in for 2 days latest week disappeared? It don't present where I worked worked with clients. Other application was better Now it logs you out when log in ,go back to clock out and shows your not clocked in ,always I have had double on client with various clock in and out times it messed up my pay going back to 800#
I have problems clocking in/out. I clock in an my appointments completely disappear from screen showing i need to re-clock in. When i do then it shows im clocked in/out twice. Even if i log out an log back in it still doesnt present im clocked in/out. I Also think this application should be updated where it counts your hours for you so you dont have to go in an add everything up every other day to see how a lot of hours left for the week. Other Problems As Well!!! Needs A Lot Of Work!!!
Application kicks out scheduled hours completed for some days even though you clock in and out appropriately showing you that the time was completed. When you go back in on another day to check your completed hours for each day that week, you explore that a whole day is showing no completed hours as though that day was never completed. It doesn't even present you having a scheduled appointment for that day even though it is your regular scheduled day. Then you call customer service who tells you to call the office so they can call them to obtain a ticket number. I just wish it to work .
I love that you can see what hours you worked but I just want you can see them in list form and not have to push on each date to see. Also, the website has alot of problems with me having to force check out instead of just having my one and only client ready for me to do whatever I need to do like clock in or out, etc.
Sucks would give it negative numbers if it allow me...-30 application sucks ..wont allow me clock in and when u do clock in and u go back to check don't save it .then clocks u out ..then says cant search u ...then people just disappear off it ..and still having problems clocking in and it saves it ..u guys suck .go back to first application worked so much better

If you haven't met Tom Corson-Knowles yet, the author who made Bestseller Ranking Pro, I think you'll search his story inspiring. Like most authors who have been in the android game for years, the only signs of interest Tom got from publishers were rejection letters. After six years of trying to obtain a traditional publishing deal, he finally decided to self publish his first book on Kindle in February, 2012. It was a life-changing decision. Just twelve months after publishing that first book, he had his first $12,000+ month from Kindle ebook royalties alone! You can learn how in this video. These tactics have also helped him and his clients become #1 Amazon bestselling authors. If you're going to write, publish or promote a book this year, you need to see this:

Cut Schlockery. Chow Yun-Fat and Sean William Scott buddy up to retrieve an ancient scroll from baddies, cut sockery does follow. That’s beautiful much it really, the two characters obviously poles apart, but coming together as one in a series of action scenes that are both laughable and enjoyable because of the former. The script is poor, with much of the dialogue of the tripe delivery kind, and in truth Yun-Fat is wasted in a thankless role. Story throws in a Nazi baddie, a girl on girl scrap and Sean William Scott casting off his petty crime ways to become the method of the samurai – or something like that. Brainless but fun, but also instantly forgettable into the bargain. 5/10

I love the method Dave Eggers tells a larger story through a private lens. As with Valentino Dent (What is the What) and Abdulrahman Zeitoun, he has taken the life of Mokhtar Alkhanshali and crafted it into a book so readable and yet so informative and real it becomes a true page turner. His books are proof of his extraordinary empathy, and this one is no exception. Mokhtar is a young man of Yemeni heritage, who grew up on the mean roads of San Francisco's Tenderloin, but his family was supportive if puzzled by some of his choices. He held a lot of low paying jobs, never giving up hope that he would explore his calling even when at his lowest. It was a possibility text from a mate that sent him across the road from where he was a doorman (lobby ambassador) to the Hills Bros. building on the Embarcadero, where he saw the twenty-foot statue of a man in full Yemeni dress grasping a cup of coffee to his lips. Despite the flowers on the statue's thobe (no self respecting native would ever wear that), he was struck by the relationship to the coffee cup, which led him to study about the origin of history of coffee and the role Yemen played in its manufacture. I'm not giving anything away by revealing that he eventually finds success as an importer of coffee from Yemen, but it is that history, his experiences in discovery and marketing, and his reasons for developing the industry in his native land that create this book a true Eggers work. High recommend.
