![]() ![]() Microenvironment and macro environment, both cover the overall environment of business. Conversely, PESTLE Analysis is a study of the macro environment. The study of the microenvironment is described as COSMIC analysis. ![]() The elements of the microenvironment affect directly and regularly to the firm which is just opposite in the case of the macro environment.However, the macroeconomic variables are uncontrollable. The microenvironmental factors are controllable by the business but to some extent only.The factors of the microenvironment affect the particular business only, but the macro-environmental factors affect all the business entities.The environment which is not specific to a particular firm but can influence the working of all the business groups is known as Macro Environment. The microenvironment is the environment which is in immediate contact with the firm. ![]() The following are the major difference between micro and macro environment: Key Differences Between Micro Environment and Macro Environment It consists of individuals, groups, organizations, agencies and others with which the firm deals during the course of its business. It constitutes those outside forces that are not under the control of the firm but have a powerful impact on the firm’s functioning. The general environment within the economy that influences the working, performance, decision making and strategy of all business groups at the same time is known as Macro Environment. The firm itself is an aggregate of a number of elements like owners like shareholders or investors, employees and the board of directors.They are considered as the king of business. Customers / Consumers are the ones who purchase the goods for their own consumption.Marketing intermediaries may include wholesalers, distributors, and retailers that make a link between the firm and the customers.Competitors are the rivals, which compete with the firm in the market and resources as well.Suppliers are the ones who provide inputs to the business like raw material, equipment and so on.Political, Economic, Socio-cultural, Technological, Legal and Environmental. Competitors, Organization itself, Suppliers, Market, Intermediaries and Customers. Macro environment refers to the general environment, that can affect the working of all business enterprises.ĬOSMIC, i.e. Micro environment is defined as the nearby environment, under which the firm operates. Content: Micro Environment Vs Macro Environment Take a read of the given article to know the difference between microenvironment and macro environment. It is important to learn the business environment, so as to understand the effect of various forces on business. Social work is ideally situated to confront climate change by balancing immediate needs with long-term ecological sustainability and relying on its historical understanding of systems to improve policy development and practical climate change mitigation approaches.While microenvironment has a direct impact on business activities, the macro environment is a general business environment, which influences all business groups at large. Macro-level interventions and climate solutions can emerge from social work development and support of policies and interventions that overcome short-term thinking to produce beneficial outcomes for populations and the environment by building capacity in the human-earth system and economic policy systems. ![]() Simultaneously, these circumstances create opportunities for social workers to intervene and advance the causes of social justice. Experiences of environmental change consistently highlight the expanding resource and resiliency gaps among vulnerable populations, leading to disproportionate repercussions felt initially and, to an arduous degree, by marginalized groups. While climate change is often not the root cause of inequality, it compounds existing inequities, making it substantially more difficult for marginalized populations to rebound from escalations of the myriad acute and chronic consequences due to climate change and environmental collapse. Systems of power and oppression, including racial, economic, and gendered inequities, are exacerbated by environmental changes with significant impacts on human rights, public health, and various measures of well-being. The compounding and escalating effects of environmental degradation, which include climate change, threaten the human-earth system with severe implications for the future of macro social work. ![]()

![]() But even while I have partnered with many brands, and witnessed the long contract negotiations, sent invoices, w-9’s, etc. I consider myself an intelligent person, though I am a bit naive (I guess) to the influencer world in some respects. (Director Scott only stopped sending me texts when I threatened to call the police (he didn’t care when I told him I would alert my bank and my lawyer–but the mention of the popo shut him up real quick!)). ![]() This “Director Scott” would have made off with $1,000 just by sending an email, a fake check, and a few text messages! They then ask for you to send them some of the money back (which is ludicrous), and you end up giving some random stranger you don’t know from a can of paint your money. And while the “David LaChappelle x Puma’ scam didn’t turn up any results, I did find an article about an email scammer using Jill Greenburg’s name, with almost the same email–verbatim.īasically the scammer offers you a fake opportunity and sends you a fake check for more than the agreed upon amount. I quickly went online to find any instances of this happening. But can you believe I actually attempted to Cashapp this person? It’s only when the Cashapp declined the transaction (not sure why–maybe it was GOD), that I realized that something was definitely fishy. When he asked me to cash app some random person $1,000, my spidey senses started tingling. We all know that checks can sometimes take days to clear and the start of a normal banking day is 9am. The nail in the coffin for me was when this ‘405’ number contacted me at 8am the morning after the check was deposited to see if it posted. It’s not unusual to be chasing checks for work you’ve completed vs. Anyone who works with brands knows that sometimes reaching agreements can take WEEKS, and getting paid can take months. But once the check hit my mailbox, things got weird.įirst, the check that was sent was for substantially more than the deposit promised–which would be great, right? The 405 number urged me to deposit the check immediately, and asked for minute-to-minute updates on when it would be in the bank. Who wouldn’t get excited that money was on the way? In my mind, I already started shopping. ![]() When they asked for my info, I gave it to them, and within a few days, a number with a 405 area code began texting me, telling me money was on the way and that I should be on the lookout for it. ![]() Another red flag: the email came from a Gmail account and not an official company email: details evaded my manager and I…temporarily. The pay was pretty good ($5,000) and the terms seemed great: a deposit sent to your doorstep, no agreement, invoice, or W-9 required, which should have been my first red flag. So I was excited to receive an email from a ‘ Director Scott,’ claiming to be a representative for celebrated photographer David LaChapelle, who wanted me to model in an upcoming Puma campaign in New York City. So as I grow and hit my stride as an aspiring IG model (ha!), I do get requests occasionally to partner with brands for shoots. ![]()

![]() ![]() I forgot to mention that I have the ferrule (TLC) version, which allows me to feather the blades at 0, 30, 45, and 60 degrees. So I switched paddles with him as we were making our way back to shore and he noticed a huge difference in terms of performance and ease that the lighter paddle provided. My friend and I went on the Mohawk river near lock 7 and he was pooped out from using the aluminum paddle on our way back. The only caveat with the hybrid version is that it weighs slightly more than the pure carbon version.įrom my experience between the Sea Eagle aluminum paddles and the carbon hybrid from Aqua-bound its definitely worth getting a carbon shaft paddle. Oddly enough the carbon hybrid (carbon shaft with fiberglass blades) is technically more durable than the pure carbon blade and shaft. If your wife want's something light, then I would recommend anything with a carbon shaft. I have the Aqua-Bound String Ray Carbon Hybrid, which is basically similar to the Manta Ray version, except slightly smaller blades. I think it would help for her to be able to physically experience how bigger is not always better. What would be ideal (besides some added instruction in technique) would be to get out paddling during a local regatta or with a group, where there are a lot of different blades she could borrow and try. Both have narrow tapered blades that are about 50% longer and 30% narrower than most standard blade paddles. In fact, I grew to prefer it even with that boat.Įven staying with a standard paddle, the two I find are most comfortable and fastest of the many “regular” paddles I own, are a vintage two-piece wooden Walden and a Voyageur brand fiberglass. Maybe that seems goofy with a Pungo, but I used my 213 cm GP with a 25" beam Feathercraft Kahuna when I had one. ![]() ![]() Even compared to using good form with a standard blade paddle like a Camano (which I used to carry as a spare), I find I can paddle just as fast and for much longer without tiring, with a Greenland paddle (at the faster cadence the light stick allows). I suspect what she may need more than a larger blade paddle is some good instruction and maybe even a smaller blade paddle. You say she wants to “power the boat along” more yet you also say she “gets tired quickly as it is.” A larger blade (as you also seem to realize) will NOT solve her paddling issues and may create more of them. Werners are a tad lighter, but i found their blade shape works very smoothly in the water, check them out as well. On a side note this spring i also tried an H20 crystalX carbon paddle, and it is the best feeling paddle i’ve ever used. Since BB bought out aquabound a while ago, i don’t know if they offer the plus ferrule yet in any of the aquabound models, but if they do definetly take a look at it, if there is nothing in a model you want see if bending branches has anything in the range. After a while i tried a friends Bending Branches Slice (the full carbon chaft, abs/carbon blade model no longer available) and it had the plus ferrule, which i loved where a switch from boat to boat alot. To me it felt like if i got a big blade and really took a hard dig it flexed and felt like i had to back off a little. When i first started i had a few different aquabounds of various blades and materials, but then when i stepped up to the carbon version i didn’t like the flex of the aquabound ferrule system. ![]()

Easter bible verse short1/1/2024 ![]() ![]() Jesus’ Sentencing and Trial Before the Roman Authorities The Last Supper (Jesus washes disciples feet, Judas’ betrayal) Read these timeless Easter Bible verses for yourself and be encouraged by the life changing power and hope of the Resurrection! Jesus Anointed at Bethany I love how the disciples each offer a different perspective on the Easter story, but still come to the same conclusion about the Resurrection: Jesus really did die and He really did come back to life! Of course, I’ve also included the Easter Bible verses about the most crucial parts of the story, including Christ’s death and resurrection. These Easter story Bible verses share the true story of Easter, including scriptures about Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, the Last Supper, Jesus’ prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane as found in the Passion Week (sometimes called the Holy Week). Instead, I’ve included the Easter scripture verse reference so you can read the Easter scripture verse in your preferred translation.Įaster Bible Verses About Jesus’ Death & Resurrection You’ll notice that some Holy Week Easter events aren’t mentioned in all of the gospels.ģ) Because some people want Easter Bibles verses in KJV or NIV (or in other Bible translations) I’ve chosen not to include the actual Bible verse here. Looking for a good Easter Bible study that reveals the power of the traditional Easter story? I highly recommend the Risen 6-Day 5Rs Easter Bible study.ĭownload the Risen Easter Bible Study by itself or with other Christ Centered Easter activities here.ġ) I’ve divided these Easter Bible verses by the main events in the Passion week in the Bible (such as The Last Supper, Jesus’ death, Jesus’ Resurrection, etc).Ģ) I included the appropriate Easter Bible verse reference for each part of the Easter story as found in all four of the gospels (the Bible books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). ![]() Whether you read these Easter Bible verses with your children or you read these Resurrection Bible verses by yourself, I pray that God will bless you with hope and joy as you read about the Passion week in the Bible. I wanted to create the ultimate list of Easter scripture verses so that I can easily share these Easter Bible verses with my family…and I’m excited to share them with you! In fact, the death and resurrection of Jesus is the centerpiece of the Christian faith, and the holy week Bible verses demonstrate again the absolute power and majesty of our mighty savior! Perhaps that’s because the Resurrection itself was such an amazing, transformative miracle. I love reading Easter Bible verses every year with my kids as part of our annual Easter activities because we always seem to find a new application or spiritual insight when we study Easter verses. Every Spring it’s wonderful to hear the true Easter story about Christ’s death and resurrection. ![]() |
