Full-time employee v. FTE (Full-time equivalent)
In the month of November, the employer adds up the hours of the 30 employees who are not full time (working 20 hours per week for four weeks) and gets 2,400 hours. The calculation is: 2,400 hours / 120 + 30 full-time employees = 50 FTEs for the month of November.


Full-time employee v. FTE (Full-time equivalent)
Example: A firm analyzes a three-month period, determining it has 30 employees who are paid for 30 or more hours per week and 30 employees who are paid for an average of 20 hours per week. The firm has 30 full-time employees and must reassess the remaining 30 who are not considered full time after three months.

Rather than work hours, class hours are used, with full-time students being those with a full credit load (often 12 hours per week) and part-time students being those taking fewer than 12. However, other schools may use different credit hour calculations for FTE.

Guide to Speech Delays
Though speech develops pretty much the same way for all children, the pace can vary considerably from child to child. As a rule of thumb, children should be able to say one word at about 1, two-word combinations at 18 months to 2 years and three-word sentences before turning 3.When speech specialists evaluate delayed speech, they care as much about a child's understanding as they do about how much he speaks.For instance, although a typical 18-month-old can say 50 to 100 words, he can understand far more.hen speech specialists evaluate delayed speech, they care as much about a child's understanding as they do about how much he speaks.

Understanding Detox Symptoms. When detoxing, you may suffer from symptoms as your body expels the toxins from your body. This is perfectly normal and is not a sign that youâre getting sicker. Read on to find out what to expect and give you some ways to deal with the healing crisis.


Combining Methods
by Michelle Barbuto. I have been using the FasciaBlaster, Dry Skin Brushing and T-Tapp for quite a while now. I wanted to give some pointers to specific questions asked on combining the 3 methods. First I want to explain a little bit about the fascial layer in our bodies.


The News on the Bruise
This occurs when the fascia is very tight and the area is not getting enough blood flow or nutrients. Using the FasciaBlasterÂ® causes microtrauma to the area in order to signal to the brain that healing needs to occur. The appearance of bruising is like a sneak-peek to show us what is happening inside the body!


Combining Methods
Fascial restrictions can exert excessive pressure causing all kinds of symptoms producing pain, headaches or restriction of motion. I have found using T-Tapp method of fitness, Dry Skin Brushing and FasciaBlasting are optimal for my health and fascia. Combing the 3 methodolgies will allow for proper blood flow and move inflammation out. I will help give you some guidance on combing the 3 to optimize your journey to health.


The News on the Bruise
The bruises are a sign of restoration, and you need to give the body time to properly recover and regenerate. The Rule of Thumb is: if youâve had a bruise for 2 weeks or longer and you can press down on it without pain, then you can lightly FasciaBlast over and all around the bruise. See below about lingering bruises.


Understanding Detox Symptoms

I went to KCON NY 2015 and I think I can help answer some questions: 1) As someone has mentioned earlier, single tickets means for one day only, combo tickets means for both days. (PS: if you buy combo tickets, your seating will be the same for both days). Unlike what MusicLover98 said, there are assigned seats.

Information: 323-456-4813, www.kconusa.com. Like the K-pop scene, KCON has grown by leaps and bounds. It began in 2012 as a concert at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Irvine, then moved to the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena for two years with additional events. This year, July 31-Aug. 2, KCON is taking over the Los Angeles Convention Center with performances, panels, workshops, meet-and-greets, shopping and food, as well two nights of concerts at Staples Center next door.


Future KCON Tips, Trick and Questions Answered!
What it allowed you to do was bring your tickets and get your entry wristbands/scratch tickets to see what your benefits were. This made entering the 3 days of convention smooth and seamless. However, if youâre not going to all 3 days of KCON, itâs likely that you would just go and register on the day you arrive. However, itâd be way easier than in 2014 due to many people having already pre-registered! The wristbands were also a nice fabric, not that annoying paper/plastic stuff.


How many muscles does it take to smile?
Some claim it takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but open Aunt Milda's chain letter and you might be surprised to learn it takes 26 to smile and 62 to frown. And some naysayers claim it's quite the opposite, that in fact it takes more muscles to smile than to frown.


How many muscles does it take to smile?
There are 43 muscles in the face, most of which are controlled by the seventh cranial nerve (also known as the facial nerve). This nerve exits the cerebral cortex and emerges from your skull just in front of your ears. It then splits into five primary branches: temporal, zygomatic, buccal, mandibular and cervical.


Muscles of the Head and Neck
The muscles of the head and neck perform many important tasks, including movement of the head and neck, chewing and swallowing, speech, facial expressions, and movement of the eyes. These diverse tasks require both strong, forceful movements and some of the fastest, finest, and most delicate adjustments in the entire human body. The muscles of the face are unique among groups of muscles in the body. While most muscles connect to and move only bones, facial muscles mostly connect bones to skin....

The facial muscles are a group of striated skeletal muscles innervated by the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) that, among other things, control facial expression. These muscles are also called mimetic muscles. 1 Structure 1.1 Innervation.


Superficial Muscles
In Depth: Superficial Muscles. The muscles of the face give it general form and contour, help you outwardly express your feelings, and enable you to chew your food. In addition to large muscles, areas of the face such as the cheeks have many smaller muscles that work when you do simple things such as smile, laugh, or cry. The large muscles of the face include: Orbicularis oculi: These muscles around your eye help you bat your eyes.

How Old Should Puppies Be Before They Leave Their Mother ?
While it is technically acceptable to remove a puppy from the dam once they are eight weeks old, it is infinitely preferable to wait that additional month and keep them with the dam and littermates until they are twelve weeks old.


How old should a puppy be before you walk it?
There are two main considerations. First, a puppy's immune system needs time to accommodate the necessary vaccinations. Depending on the disease profile of your area, that could mean it's not safe to walk him until he's about 16 weeks old. Second, until the puppy understands leash walking, you're likely to do more harm than good dragging him around like so many people do.


How old should a puppy be whenever you adopt them?
How old should a puppy be whenever you adopt them? I realize that a dog can never be too old to adopt, my parents just adopted a fairly senior citizen schnauzer. However, how young is too young to adopt a puppy? It's been a while, but I think we adopted our dachshund whenever he was about 8 to 10 weeks (maybe earlier).


How old do puppies need to be before you treat them for fleas and ticks?
We have an eight week old puppy and was wondering when we can use a flea and tick treatment, per the breeder she is not due to go to the vets until she is 12 weeks. By: Chantel Zandi El Segundo, CA Replied on 04/19/2011 Puppies can start topical flea treatment as young as seven weeks old. Advantage, K9 Advantix, Frontline, Frontline Plus, Program, Firstshield, Vectra, and Capstar can all be administered to your puppy safely.


How old should a puppy be whenever you adopt them?
A good breeder should take the proper time to socialize, house train, and accustom the puppy to leashes and other restraint objects and if done for at least 8-9 weeks (or longer, which is better) the dog will be much better suited for adoption and have far less issues for their human companions in the future.


When Do Puppies Start Walking?
Quick Answer. All states in the United States require puppies to be at least 7 weeks old before they are sold. The American Kennel Club recommends a minimum age of 8 weeks. Continue Reading.

Complications of Olecranon Fractures
When you bend your elbow, you can easily feel its tip, a bony prominence that extends from one of the lower arm bones (the ulna). That tip is called the olecranon (oh-lek'-rah-nun). It is positioned directly under the skin of the elbow, without much protection from muscles or other soft tissues.


Advanced prostate cancer: Managing symptoms
It typically takes about six to eight weeks to heal in adults, and less time in children. Doctors refer to all breaks or cracks in bones as fractures. Go to your nearest accident and emergency (A&E) department if you think you or your child has broken a bone.


Central Neurotoxicity, Memory Loss, and Their Relationship to Chemotherapy
This may take up to a few weeks. You should apply ice to the elbow for 20 to 30 minutes every 3 to 4 hours for 2 to 3 days or until the pain and swelling go away. Your health care provider may prescribe an anti-inflammatory medicine or other pain medicine.


When Your Child Has an Elbow Fracture
Your child has an elbow fracture. That means he or she has a crack or break in one or more of the bones of the elbow joint. The elbow joint is formed by three arm bones: Radius. The bone on the thumb side of the forearm. Ulna. The bone on the little-finger side of the forearm.


Shoulder bursitis
Bursitis (ber-SEYE-tis) is swelling and pain of a bursa. A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that acts as a cushion or shock absorber between a tendon and a bone. A tendon is a cord of tough tissue that connects muscles to bones. Although you cannot feel it, the elbow bursa is behind your elbow (over the pointed tip).


-
A useful rule of thumb is that the time taken for the bone to regain full strength is usually the same as the time it takes for the fracture to heal. That is, if youâve been in plaster for six weeks, it will take six weeks to regain full strength. It's important not to get a plaster cast wet.

Abnormal Pap Test - Cause
Abnormal Pap Test. Abnormal Pap Test. Most abnormal Pap tests are caused by HPV infections.

Can getting a Pap smear a few days before your period affect your period when it comes on?
COMMENTS 0. No, getting a Pap smear will not affect your period. Two tools are used to take a Pap sample, one called a spatula, the other a cytobrush. This second tool looks like a mascara brush and is used to scrape cells from your cervix. Sometimes mild bleeding or spotting can occur with this scraping, but this is not your period.


Do Pap Tests Change Your Period Cycle?
Oh, and no one can tell you exactly when you ovulate. Because if you don't have a regular period or your cycle is more or less than 28 days, it is hard to tell.

How To Clean Urine Of Marijuana Naturally?

Well guess what, none of the so-called natural ways to cleanse the urine work anymore than the unnatural ways. There are many websites and natural stores that sell products that state they'll cleanse your urine and allow people to fool urine tests. The only thing these products cleanse is your wallet!


How to pass a drug test
Occasional marijuana use can appear in your urine for up to 10 days. If you smoke more often, you might leave traces for up to 30 or even 100 days. Cocaine passes through your urine quicker, up to 5 days for infrequent use and up to 10 days if you use more heavily.

This means that as you smoke weed, the THC gets stored in your fat cells. The more you smoke and the stronger the weed, the more this happens. When your body uses those fat cells later, the THC is released into the blood. This then gets metabolized and passed into the urine. This means that even if you've been clean for a while, you can still fail a drug test.

Gain 10 Pounds in a Month: Food Selection
Beginner misconceptions aside, major muscle growth isnât achieved solely by training. If your goal is to gain 10 pounds of muscle mass in just four short weeks, you need to eat a lot of protein, a lot of carbohydrates and even a good bit of fat.


Gain 10 Pounds in a Month: Food Selection
SEE ALSO: Gain 10 Pounds of Muscle in 4 Weeks Workout Routine. Letâs talk specifics: Youâll need to consume at least 25 calories per pound of bodyweight per day, made up of at least 2 grams of protein, close to 3 grams of carbs and about 0.5 gram of fat per pound of bodyweight.


How Many Calories Does It Take to Gain 1 Pound?
For example, the average sedentary adult needs roughly 0.4 grams of protein per pound of body weight. That's about 50 grams for a sedentary 125-pound adult or 60 grams for a 150-pound adult. If you're strength training -- which you should be if you want to gain muscle -- you need up to 0.8 grams of protein per pound.


How Many Calories Does It Take to Gain 1 Pound?
Calories Needed to Gain 1 Pound. It takes an added 3,500 calories to gain a pound. To gain weight at a safe rate of around 0.5 to 1 pound each week, you'll need to eat an extra 1,750 to 3,500 calories weekly, which corresponds to an extra 250 to 500 calories a day.


How many calories does it take to gain 1 pound?
How many unused calories is what's important here. Remember that you're burning calories just sitting around- about 80 an hour or so.

So you'd have to consume 4082 calories beyond what you burn in a day to gain a pound of fat. Conversely, you'd need to burn 4082 calories more than you consume to lose a pound of fat.
