We hear the term Human Resources a lot, and HR departments are found at companies large and small.
 
But have you ever stopped to consider what the term really means?
 
William R. Tracey, in The Human Resources Glossary, defines Human Resources as: “The people that staff and operate an organization.” Businessdictionary.com states that it is the “scarcest and most crucial productive resource that creates the largest and longest lasting advantage for an organization. It resides in the knowledge, skills, and motivation

One of the advantages associated with long-term investing is the potential for compounding. Here’s how it works.When your investments produce earnings, those earnings get reinvested and can earn even more.

The more time your money stays invested, the greater the opportunity for compounding and growth. Keep in mind that while compounding, overall, can have a significant long-term impact, there may be periods where your money won’t grow.

While there are no guarantees, the value of compounded investment earnings can turn Read More

JUNE ENGLISH, LE

Clients normally visit Estheticians to correct a skin problem rather than to prevent issues from occurring. Prevention is the first line of defense when it comes to skin Health and slowing down the aging process, but many are missing this step.

Clients too often wait until their skin appearance and health get severe, at which point they wind up in their esthetician’s treatment room expecting 15 years of damage to be removed in one session.

The good news is it might not always be like this moving forward. Men and women are finally realizing the importance of preventative Read More

McQuiston: Someone Broke Into My Car … What Does My Auto Insurance Cover?

Submitted by Chris Clark on November 20, 2016

By ALLEN MCQUISTON
The Jemez Agency

What if someone broke into your vehicle and took whatever was inside? Do you know what your car insurance covers?

If you have comprehensive coverage, your insurance company will most likely pay to repair any damage the burglar has done to your car.
 
Typically, this includes broken windows, damaged locks and dismantled ignition systems. If your vehicle is stolen, your insurer will pay you its value (if you have comprehensive coverage).
 
However, even comprehensive coverage does not pay to replace the belongings taken from within your car. This Read More

Pastor Raul: In Christ Alone

It seems to be a common thing for people to assume that the problems we face today are much different than the problems people faced yesterday. After all, our world is much more complex and pluralistic than it has ever been. The latter idea may be true, but the former…not so much.
 
During the days of Jesus, the Jews shared many of the same concerns that people have today. They worried about employment, they worried about health, they worried about potentially having freedoms taken from them, they worried about war, they worried about their children’s

Do not underestimate the time you spend in your bathroom on a daily basis. Whether you are getting ready to start your day, unwinding in a warm bath, or getting the kids ready for bed, your bathroom is an important aspect of daily life.

An updated bathroom adds substantial value to your home in the event that you would ever choose to sell. Today’s demanding homebuyers are drawn to “move in ready” and spa-like retreats; and buyers are willing to spend more money to get the features they want in a home.

The history of animals in Los Alamos has been—what’s the right word?—interesting.
 
In the early days, it was said that Alice Westerfelt had a house goat. It was well-trained as to elimination, but untrainable in regard to eating everything that tried to grow (or lay neglected) in the garden. Like laundry on the clothes line.
 
Some people had pet pigs, I suspect, when the miniature Vietnamese potbellied pigs were popular. Now they’re called Teacup Pigs or micro-mini pigs or
