Recent news articles highlight individuals who claim religious beliefs prevent them from performing certain job duties. The media attention given to these stories may prompt more employees to ask for religious accommodations.

When confronted with a request for a religious accommodation, an employer must judge the “reasonableness” of the request. Some accommodations are relatively cheap and easy to make; others are not. For example, an office worker’s request to shorten her lunch break so she can take a morning prayer break will likely be easy to accommodate whereas a flight attendant’s request not to serve alcoholic beverages may be much harder to accommodate. But, even a simple request may become complicated and expensive to accommodate if multiple employees make the same request. For example, if every pharmacy employee asks to be excused from filling contraceptive prescriptions, the employer may have a difficult time meeting customer demand. When evaluating an employee’s request, an employer should focus only on the request itself and not on the sincerity of the employee’s belief unless the employer has a good reason for questioning it.

September 24, 2015 – – It is with great pride that 3 Bees and Me announced that their sunshades for SUVs and cars were tested to work in temperatures of up to 120 degrees. This is good news especially nowadays when the weather can be so hot and uncomfortable. It also fits perfectly in windows of various car brands.

“We are ecstatic to share to everyone that our sunshade for cars with cute dog design has been tested to work in temperatures up to 120 degrees. We believe that this is important because the weather nowadays is very erratic”, says Holly James, 3 Bees and Me representative. She further added, “As parents, we do not want our children to be uncomfortable while in the car. The best way to remedy the glaring rays of the sun is to have a reliable shade that can protect them from too much heat and sun rays.”

If reviews are to go by, this product has been leaving good impressions with its users. In a review by Christy Thompson, she wrote: “I have to have sun shades in every car due to driving my niece around so often. I love how easy these are to put in as well as take out. They cover a great amount of the windows so the sun is not getting on her. I really like these because they have a cute dog on them and we all have dogs that my niece love playing with so she really likes the dog on the window.”

As mentioned earlier, this sunshade can protect passengers from the sun. This is made possible by the nylon mesh screen that is a shade darker than other brands in the market today. Each shade comes with a free extra suction cup in that can be used in case the other one is lost. The cute dog design is well-received by customers as well. When not in use, it can be easily folded and kept away.

Too much heat especially during summertime is very common. Because of this, it is important to have a reliable sunshade that works well. If reviews are taken into consideration, it is not surprising anymore why 3 Bees and Me’s shades for cars at Amazon leads the pack when it comes to sales.

Companies are reevaluating the structure of the classic business meeting. In fact, more businesses are switching up their tactics and moving these meetings from the boardroom to the lunchroom. Soulman’s Bar-B-Que shares six reasons why lunch meetings benefit business.

1) Eating out for lunch provides a neutral meeting location. No one has the upper hand or control of the environment. But remember, meetings are not the time to try the latest hot spot in town. Go somewhere that is comfortable, reliable and offers an environment suitable for casual business conversation. What’s more relaxing than eating barbeque at Soulman’s?

2) Lunch meetings encourage more personal face-to-face interactions. In a time when so much communication is online or via text, lunch meetings engage interpersonal skills. Personal interactions over a meal helps both parties predict the ease of communication moving forward and gives each person a better understanding of goals and priorities. As a bonus, find out if both parties like the same barbeque or if one likes beef and the other pork.

3) Food often evokes a feeling of comfort. In a boardroom, the environment can feel sterile or bland, perhaps even intimidating. Going out for lunch can turn a stressful meeting into a casual dialogue. The common comfort of a meal can lighten the pressure of the meeting. Face it. It’s hard to be formal or fussy with barbeque sauce on your fingers.

4) Leaving the office for a business meeting allows both parties to concentrate without disruptions from day-to-day office life. Coworkers won’t interrupt, and both parties can focus their efforts away from the ongoing pings of email or office phone calls. The only interruption might be going back for seconds or more barbeque sauce.

5) A change of scenery can help make the meeting more memorable. Lunch meetings provide a deviation from the norm, making the meetings easier to recall. This benefit can be especially helpful when negotiating business or trying to network with someone new. A lunch of tasty barbeque will be remembered.

6) Finally, the lunch meeting provides a set timeframe to accomplish business. Usually a relatively short and focused meeting, lunch allows both parties to be efficient while conducting business and enjoying a great meal. People don’t tend to dawdle when eating barbeque.

Soulman’s CEO Brett Randle offers perspective on choosing the booth over the board room.

“Conducting business meetings over lunch is a great way to establish a relationship with a client or potential business colleague,” said Randle. “As we like to say at Soulman’s, ‘why not do business over brisket?’ Lunch meetings allow professionals to break up their work day while getting to know each other.”

About Soulman’s Bar-B-Que
For more than 40 years, Soulman’s Bar-B-Que has satisfied the hardest to please barbecue lovers…Texans! Their selections of meats are cooked “low and slow” over hickory in a time-honored tradition: beef brisket, ham, hot links, sausage, turkey, chicken, pulled pork and, the crowd favorite, ribs. Ranch House Beans and Spicy Cream Corn are among the delicious homemade sides.

Soulman’s currently owns and operates 15 North and East Texas locations in Cedar Hill, Dallas, Forney, Garland, Greenville, Hurst, Lancaster, Mesquite, Quinlan, Rockwall (2), Royse City, Terrell, Van and Allen – the newest location.

Multi-Million Dollar Deal Signed to Launch Rover to the Moon

Abu Dhabi’s leading strategy consultancy company “Ideanco” teams up on ground breaking Lunar Project with a consortium of countries by the name of Team Angelicvm

September 21, 2015, Paris, France – Today sparked a milestone in the race to land a privately funded rover on the Moon. Ideanco, the Abu Dhabi-based management consultancy company and Team Angelicvm, a Google Lunar Xprize team signed a multi-million dollar strategic partnership in Paris, France, which is being activated on a global level to acquire, develop and retain potential investors for the competition. In a strategic move, this partnership aims to ultimately inject liquidity into the Team Angelicvm business model in order to launch their lunar mission and promote ‘faith, hope, peace and unity’ to the world.

The Moon has officially become the muse for the Google Lunar Xprize, in which pioneering teams are competing to launch a Rover into space. Far from being one small step for man, this project centers on moving away from the idea that the Moon is there, not only for space exploration, but it can also be used as a method to promote peace and harmony across the globe. Team Angelicvm’s mission is to get their rover safely to the Moon and then once there, send back to Earth a message communicating ‘faith, hope, peace and unity’.

Talking about the partnership Maher Ezzeddine, CEO of Ideanco and President of Harvard Business School Aerospace Alumni Association, said: “We’re looking forward to a successful landing of the rover on the surface of the Moon and to then broadcast such inspirational message of hope for mankind. To reach this milestone Ideanco will be working closely with the Team Angelicvm, sponsors, satellite operators, and rocket launchers including space agencies and regulatory bodies, in different regions, to facilitate and coordinate a successful launch, landing and broadcasting.”

While the venture is set to be a complex process, the objective will far outweigh the time, effort and cost of the project. To counterbalance costs Team Angelicvm will be relying on hosted payload opportunities to launch the Rover to the Moon.

Team Angelicvm founded by Gerardo Rocha Haardt is comprised of highly talented people coming from all over the world who have worked ingeniously as one, under the leadership of Mauricio Guerrero, the CEO of Team Angelicvm, who commented on this strategic partnership: “We are very excited about this great opportunity. Ideanco’s ultimate objective is to make sure Team Angelicvm’s smart Rover will be launched from Earth and land successfully on the surface of the Moon to broadcast the inspirational message set by Team Angelicvm to the World. We see this endeavor as a major milestone and the beginning of a long-lasting partnership.”

About Ideanco:

Founded in 1999 under the name ‘Creativemode’, ideanco (Idea and Company) is a management-consulting firm that prides itself in being an early adopter of elite partner crowdsourcing model, a major innovation key differentiator. With office spanning located in New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Abu Dhabi and Beirut, Ideanco’s key differentiator is its business model, which maintains unique database comprising of over seven thousand elite professionals from across the world, who are able to pool in their talents and expertise as required exploiting core business of our customers and exploring innovative ways for continuous success. Ideanco is catering strategy services and disruption innovation to companies in both private and public sectors in North America, Europe and Middle East.

About Team Angelicvm:

In 2007 Gerardo Rocha Haardt, President of Inversiones Angelicvm was introduced to the Google Lunar XPrize (GLXP) competition. He saw this contest as a great opportunity to explore the private aerospace industry and discover alternative options for development for humanity, since literally the “Sky is the Limit”. He decided to create a team to enter the completion and in 2010, Team Angelicvm officially joined GLXP. The main purpose of Team Angelicvm is to build a Rover that would land on the surface on the Moon, comply with the competition requirements, and broadcast back to Earth a high definition music video that carries message of “Faith, Hope, Peace and Unity” to the World. It is our hope that this message will reach across the Globe and impact all of humanity for the better. We want to create awareness of the problems that we face as a global community and encourage the new generations to get involved and work together to make a difference.
