Thanks for your help Worked like a charm.

Answer to Question 2

A supervisor must be aware of the following barriers in creating effective communication. Language: lack of knowledge of how each of us modifies the language causes difficulties in communication. Listening habits: listening is making sense of what we hear and requires paying attention, interpreting, and remembering. Failure to do any of those means failure to get the message. Feedback: failing to get feedback means not knowing if someone received and understood the message. Perception: our attitudes, interests, past experiences, and expectations determine how we organize and interpret our surroundings. Role requirements: fulfilling role requirement often requires supervisors to selectively interpret events. Poor choice of information medium: face-to-face communication is greater than that received from a flier. Lack of honesty: avoiding confrontations or hurting other's feelings. Emotions: jubilation or depression hinders feelings. Emotions: jubilation or depression hinder effective communication.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
