An advantage of having your own home fitness gym is the convenience of having your own workout place at home so that you don’t have to go outside to a gym. You can work out in your own home, in private. This often appeals to people who are not comfortable exercising in the company of strangers. Before purchasing a home gym there are some things to take into account to make sure you choose wisely.

Things to Take into Consideration

• Is there a large enough area in your home for one? Home fitness gyms can be very large so you need plenty of space and a firm base to place it on.
• How much do you want to pay? Home fitness gyms can vary from about $500 for a small basic gym to more than $5000 for a comprehensive, multi-gym.
• Are you going to choose a free weight system or a resistance system that uses cables, weights or rods?

Advantages and Disadvantages of Home Fitness Gyms

With a home gym you can, of course, work out in private in your own home, the gym is always available and you won’t have to wait until someone else finishes before you can do your training. Once you have paid for it you won’t have to pay out fees as you would every month in the club and it is always available. You should also take into account the disadvantages. Initially some home gyms can be very difficult to set up and they are going to take up a substantial space in your home. It may be easier to stay motivated at a gym, among other people or with a trainer than at home!

Choosing a Home Fitness Gym

The most important consideration, in our opinion, is how well made the unit is. It will do you no good if you buy a cheap, badly made gym that will fall apart soon and provide a poor workout. This won’t save money over time. Look out for a well made gym that uses eleven or twelve gauge steel. In better quality gyms the joints are welded rather than bolted and they use strong, heavy duty tubing. Look for a higher quality home fitness gym with a good warranty, some have a lifetime warranty on the frame, and you should get at least three years warranty on moving parts and upholstery.

If you have found a quality home gym at a good price now make sure it is easy to use and adjust for different exercises. Changing the resistance can be awkward on some gyms so try to find one that makes this easier.  If it is too awkward to do this or too time consuming it can easily put you off your workout completely. A home fitness gym needs to be comfortable in use with well padded benches that are easy to keep clean. This is also for safety reasons as you need good padding on leg presses and seats, and solid durable handgrips to prevent injury and blisters.

Conclusion

If you are buying a fitness equipment home gym don’t rush out and buy the first one you see. Find out all you can about how it works and possibly try it out at the store or a local gym. A home gym is not cheap and you don’t want to make a mistake with your purchase.

In a competitive world with the need for businesses to be more streamlined and productive a company can often find itself with a workforce working under pressure resulting in low moral and high staff turnover. The benefits of an organization having a highly motivated workforce can be considerable and the two goals of having employees that are both motivated and productive should not be regarded as being mutually exclusive to one another.

Left unattended employers run the risk of alienating their employees, events can cause employee frustrations to boil over resulting in employers finding themselves on the back foot, faced with a problem that cannot be ignored.

Ideally employers would take time to understand the needs of their employees and learn from their experiences of working on the front line, but employers are often themselves tied up day to day fighting their own fires.

By automating much of the intelligence gathering process and providing the findings in a format that can be readily analysed online surveys provide employers with an efficient, effective and low cost method to help achieve a pleasant working environment, where staff satisfaction and productivity is high.

Dissatisfied & unproductive

There are many reasons why employees may be dissatisfied with their job and more often than not staff frustration is channelled into a demand for higher salaries and less hours. Employers who tackle these issues head on, making it all about salary and hours, will often find themselves dealing with the symptoms and not the root cause.

Not just about the money

The following are the most common problems to achieving productivity, none of which are likely to be resolved by increasing salaries or reducing hours:-

• Inadequate training
• Out of touch management
• Working methods that are past their sell by date
• Lack of proper tools and equipment

Many studies have shown that salaries are rarely the number one priority of employees and providing an employer is paying market rate they would be fundamentally wrong to think that paying higher salaries is the answer to all employee problems.

Take the case of a single mother who is juggling a full time job with the need to look after three children. Out of frustration she may demand more money so that she feels that she is able to cope where a better solution, for both her and the business, may be more flexible working hours.

Good communications is what it is about

It is in the interests of all organizations to establish good communications. A business that makes it difficult for personnel and management to communicate, or that takes the view that if individuals have a problem they will say so, can often delude themselves into thinking that their staff are content when they are not. It can very easily start with a small problem and one aggrieved employee for the problem to escalate to involve an entire workforce and generate a ‘them and us’ attitude.

Improving communication

Meeting one on one between the employer and employee would be ideal but really it is only a practical solution for smaller companies.

Regular meetings between management and worker representatives are good in theory but can degenerate into talking shops and slowly lose their purpose as the participants from both sides become familiar with one another and the meetings run the risk of being hijacked by the more extreme personalities.

Suggestion boxes can be useful but can be viewed as token efforts by management as they wait for personnel to highlight a problem.

Newsletters can be useful, but their main purpose is generally to inform and not discuss issues.

Maintaining the initiative

Conducting employee satisfaction surveys regularly you are able to ask each employee specific questions and presents a pro-active management initiative where the whole workforce can be consulted on various issues. Surveys are able to provide a level playing field between the quieter and more vocal employees.

Being prepared to consulate with employees should not be seen as a sign of weakness, a confident manager will take counsel from all quarters before making a decision. By retaining the initiative and conducting a survey the employer is able to tackle problems from a position of strength as opposed to waiting for problems to arise and develop out of proportion.

Leave a small problem unresolved and it can lead to a situation where a minor problem might just break the camel’s back and the mood of the employees change from positive to negative over night.

Quick and easy

For most companies online surveys represent a proactive and low cost solution. They are quick to design and for the majority of companies, where most of the personnel have desktop computers, they are also quick to deploy direct to the individual.

If there are situations where individuals do not have personal access to a computer there are still options available to using the online survey solution such as through the use of a shared computer, operator input or, as a last resort, a hardcopy survey.

Job satisfaction

There are a number of elements that combined will provide an employee with job satisfaction, from company ethics, working environment, methodology and ethos to having good and effective management. Job satisfaction brings benefits through improved productivity and motivation from a workforce that feels that they are treated as individuals and not a commodity item.

Educate and inform

A less appreciated benefit of online surveys is that they can be used effectively to educate and deliver important information to the workforce, ensuring that the ‘message’ is delivered consistently and does not become corrupted as it is passed down the line.

An online survey can explain to the employees a difficult situation and get useful feedback as to the best solution. It is rare in this situation that the workforce would appear negative; it is more likely they will feel informed and empowered and that might be enough to turn a potentially negative problem into a positive challenge that unites the workforce.

Exit surveys

Exit surveys are an ideal method for management to make sure that when people leave the organisation they are not leaving because of problems that could have been addressed and possibly resolved if they had been appreciated earlier. Identifying a problem may not be enough to prevent a person from leaving but it could lead to an unappreciated issue being resolved that may be all that is required to stop other key personnel from also deciding to leave.

Analysing the results

Having consulted with the workforce using an online survey the results are available for instant analysis. Common and specific problems can be easily identified and brought to the attention of senior management who will then have the opportunity to address the issues that have been raised.

Summary

Used regularly online surveys represent a simple and productive method of taking the pulse of an organisation and an easy way to establish a two way communication channel between employer and employee with the results providing management with vital, accurate and significant information.

Remember the old saying “ You are what you eat!” I discover that not only is this true for our body weight and mass but it applies to our skin condition as well. After all what happens inside your body is reflected on your skin. The type of food that you eat will determine the condition of your skin. Oily and fatty food will lead to in balance of hormones in your body and most of the time will lead to acne outbreak on your skin. If you love your skin very much, you may want to take sometime to read the rest of this article on the best natural form of acne treatment.

My article will not be complete with defining what acne is. I know you probably already know this but please just bear with me, I promise that it would be short and sweet. Acne is a skin condition that shows up as different types of bumps. They include whiteheads, blackheads, red bumps (pimples) and bumps that are filled with pus (cysts). How then does it happen? It’s caused by a problem with the sebaceous glands which produce sebum. When the channel through which the sebum reaches the skin surface becomes blocked, the dead cells forming the blockage can turn black, hence causing blackheads. If the blocked gland situated at the base of the blockage becomes infected, a reddened inflamed spot may develop. Acne is particularly common among adolescents because of hormonal activity on reaching puberty. Severe acne especially if goes untreated can leave long term scars and pockmarks.

The best type of acne treatments are the ones that are non drug or natural remedies. Some of the traditional remedies for acne include using various herbs as facial steam. One of these steams consisted of chickweed, elderflower and marigold, used in equal parts. Agrimony applied externally was also thought to be curative. Another remedy involves the spreading of sulphur ointment over the infected areas.  Another natural cure involves mixing two ounces of clover flowers, two ounces of nettle tops and two ounces of comgrey flowers with four pints of boiling water and simmering this until only two pints are left. A wine glass of the resulting liquid was to be taken every three hours. However before you try any of these remedies, it’s advisable to consult your doctor to ensure that you’re not allergic to these ingredients.

There is often said to be a dietary factor in acne, although many doctors feel that there’s no concrete evidence for this. However some people do have a more sensitive reaction to the food that they eat and indirectly there’s some link to food. Just to be on the safe side, generally oily and fried food are not recommended for people with sensitive body system

Eating foods like fruit and vegetables, wholegrain and grains help clean out your digestive area. One of the reasons that people get acne because their colons are dirty. The food and mucus processed indigeridos on the matter really how toxic the years called plaque mucous.

If you have had for many years a diet with lots regular thing of the following: I think the food (including dairy), sugar, tea or coffee fried, white flower, microwave food, hydrogenated fats and drugs such as alcohol or aspirin then, you most likely have to board mucous in his body.

All kinds of nasty bacteria use these pockets of old feces as a breeding ground. One of these insects, called Candida eat sugars that get their food and in turn emits chemicals really nasty in the back that can cause all kinds of reactions and allergic conditions of the skin.

Using natural diet as a treatment of acne was not as bad as thought it would be. There are so many foods that act naturally as home remedy for acne and is often the best treatment of acne. At first I thought it would be easier to just remember when using acne medication acne or other products used at the time rather than give up on the junk food.

One of the best food fibra-ricos called psyllium. You can buy shells psyllium your local supermarket or store of natural food and you can easily mix a spoonful of soup in a glass of water and drink it. The shells Psyllium is also the main ingredient in some popular beverages such as Metamucil laxative. Not only husks of psyllium will keep you “regular” but act like a sponge cleaning up its two points at the same time.

Just like any other acne medication, natural acne treatment needs to thoroughly checked before you start using any of them especially the oral type as sometimes it could lead to other problems. You can check out herbal sites or talk to the herbal experts and I’m sure they can point you to the right direction. However once you find the right natural acne remedy, it’s worth the effort as it’s cheaper and certainly better for your health in the long run as opposed to those factory manufactured acne medication.

Quantifying your pupillary distance:

This measurement is the distance between the centre of your pupils that is measured in millimetres.

Opticians do not tend to give out this measurement as it encourages patients to buy their spectacles from them whereas you can buy cheap spectacles online or designer glasses at a fraction of the price online. It is normally noted as 1 measure like 60 (60mm) but can also be presented as R 29 L 31. When penned in this way it is the individual space from your right and left pupils to the midline of your nose.

When Varifocals, High Prescriptions or Prisms are ordered the measurement is commonly split individually. Generally it is written as a single value for most single vision prescriptions.

If you do not know this measurement and don’t want to measure it yourself then most online opticians will make your PD the national average (63) for men and (60) for women.

You can ask a friend or family member to calculate your PD for you:

This will be by far the simplest means by obtaining your PD. Your friend will have to place a ruler above your eyes, just across your forehead.

Next ask your friend to close their right eye and you then look directly into their left eye. Request your colleague to slide the ruler to bring about the zero value is in the center of your right pupil and to keep the ruler very steady across your frontal bone. Subsequently, you will need your associate to shut their own left eye and you will need to look straight into their right eye.

Your acquaintance will then read off the measurement to the centre of your left pupil. And that is it! It really is that easy! Please see the diagram below to help you further.

Using your latest glasses to measure you PD with assistance from a friend:

Make sure that your glasses fit nicely by wearing them and seeing how they feel. Ask your friend to stand opposite you and mark on your lenses the position of your pupils with a non permanent marker.

You should now see two lines directly infront of you whilst you are wearing your glasses. Simply, take off your spectacles and measure the distance between the two markings. And that is it! If the ruler shows 6 cm then your pupillary distance will be termed as 60. If the measurement is 6.3cm then your PD will be 63.

If you have a varifocal measurement, then just measure across from your right eye to the centre of your nose and then again from the centre of your nose to your left eye and record the individual readings for both your left and right eyes. If you aren’t buying sunglasses with prescription lenses in then don’t worry about what’s in this article.

With the doom and gloom on the economy expected to continue to next year and perhaps will remain in the next 2 years have caused consumers to cut down on their spending. One of the big ticket items is actually transportation, in this case our private own cars which could leave a big dent on our monthly budget if the price of crude oil continues to be unpredictable. With rising living cost and job uncertainties, these are the things that we can possibly cut down. One of the ways to reduce our reliance on cars is to use alternative transportation such as public transport or electric vehicles eg. Electric scooter or bike. Electric scooters are particularly suitable for single working adult who live between 1-10 miles from their office. The price of an electric scooter is not expensive ad it ranges from £300-£3,000 depending on the type and model. Not only that it reduces the need for fuel consumption, it’s also friendly to the environment and I think it’s about time we do something for mother nature after all these years of taking from her. Electric scooters, which run on batteries that can be recharged from a domestic socket, are predicted to take off this year, as the price of fuel leaves many commuters with increasingly high transport costs. Zooming at 40 to 50 km per hour (about 20 miles) doesn’t seem like real speed these days especially with some modern sports cars and bikes that are capable to do 300-400 km an hour. But what if you do not need to pay for gasoline anymore to travel at the lower speed. I think most working class people wouldn’t mind the slower pace but could save hundreds or thousand of dollars per year on fuel is worth it all especially during the current economy climate. Well the good news is that we can do that now especially with the improvement of alternative fuel vehicles. We have the hybrid engine car where it has both electric and gasoline engine for better fuel consumption and friendlier to the environment and it’s also suitable for families with kids. However if you are single and looking for something economical to travel within the city, look no further, I highly recommend that you buy an electric scooter.

Electric scooters have been moving up steadily on the popular mode of transportation chart in the last few years. Apart from the economy, it also has a lot to do the types of products that are available in the market. Electric scooters have made some leaps and bounds since it was first developed years ago and now electric scooters are seen as a cool vehicle to have. The companies that make these scooter have also come a long way in terms of their R&D and quality of products. In the past year, we have seen the emergence of some new companies in the electric scooters industry. They’re none other than Ego and E-Max. They have had great success since they launched their range of electric scooters last year. It’s estimated that E-Max has sold more than 1000 of its powerful USD3000 model since it was launched. So what’re the popular electric scooters around? Without a shadow of doubt, it’s the Xtreme range of scooters. The price of Xtreme scooters ranges from USD150 to USD2000 depending on the model or course. For those who love a bit of speed, you might to want try out Xtreme-XB500. As for the entry level or novice riders, the Xtreme X10 is a good choice. Another range of electric scooters are the Ego’s bike where it cost around USD1000 but it’s extremely durable and easy to handle. The Egos are good for city rides and it’s fairly cheap to maintain as well.

Some of the electric scooters also have a motor-protected circuitry that enables the scooter to move ahead and gain speed even before the assist starts working. So when the throttle-switch is released, the unique design of the electric scooters allow the motor to coast or “freewheel” in a way most commonly seen in regular bikes. The electric scooters can be truly enjoyable as they have an easy acceleration that helps them to glide smoothly through heavy winds as well as climb hills smoothly.

There are obviously different types of scooters and I’m not talking about the brand or model but the general classification of electric scooters irregardless of the manufacturer. The first type is zappy or the lower end (entry level) scooter which can reach a maximum speed of 10-12 km an hour. Next is the flyer which could do up to 20 km an hour and it’s gaining popularity due to its maneuvering simplicity.  Finally the most advance type is the Voloci where it comes with many modern features like selectable performance models, quick-swap battery packs, key ignition.

How then does an electric scooter operate? It’s combination of electrical power from the batteries and feed it to the motor which the heart of the scooter. The speed is handled with a variety of switches and together with the handlebars and brakes provides the handling of the scooter. Some of the newer electric scooters come with computerised controls just like the modern cars to make the ride even smoother and safer.

So whether you are a novice or experience owner of the electric scooter, you would agree that there’s nothing more fun than riding your scooter around town with the wind brushing against your face and hair. Ohhh what a feeling!!! Go get one today and I promise that you will not regret it.

In Alaska, salmon come first. Alaska has a long and successful track record of handling and preserving its abundant salmon resources. Record salmon runs with an average annual catch of 165 million salmon is the proof of this successful approach.

Nearly 95% of all commercially caught salmon in the States are harvested in Alaska. Alaska is the top producer of wild, high-value salmon, producing nearly 80 % of the planet supply of king, commercial salmon fishery is critical to the Alaskan economy and the Alaskan way of life.

Each year, the salmon industry provides thousands of jobs and many millions of greenbacks to the state’s economy. Commercial fishing is urgent to communities and fishing
families throughout the state.

Alaska’s fishing industry leads the state in providing 47% of non-public sector jobs, and is 2nd only to the oil industry in providing income to the state. In 2002, the exvessel price for combined fisheries totaled $955 million with $162 million from salmon.

Salmon fishing allows are given out to individuals, not firms, thru the “limited entry permit system”. The total number of available authorizes for each fishery is strictly limited. Fishermen may not own more than one salmon permit for the same gear type and area. This creates a fishery made from many people and families.

Three main gear types catch Alaska salmon: trolling, gillnetting, and purse seining. All commercial salmon fishing boats are comparatively tiny vessels ; averaging 30 to fifty feet.

Trollers use long trolling poles to drag or troll two to 4 deep weighted lines thru the water, each with 8 – twelve leaders attached. At the end of each leader there is a lure or baited hook. Boat size varies from little skiffs to vessels of 50 feet or more with most ranging between twenty-five to forty feet.

Trollers basically target king, coho, and pink salmon as they enter Alaskan waters on their way to the spawning grounds. Trollers catch a comparatively low volume of top quality fish. The fish they catch are bright and powerful from fresh ocean waters. They are regularly
sold dressed, or filleted in the fresh or fresh frozen market.

Gillnetters set curtain-like nets in the water postponed from a float line at the surface and a weighted lead line along the submerged bottom edge. Nets change in length from 9 hundred to 1800 feet long. The net’s mesh openings are just big sufficient to allow an adult fish head to get through and become trapped at the gills.

There are 2 kinds of gillnets; driftnets that are free floating from boats, and setnets that have one end attached to the coast. Ship size is restricted to 32 feet or less in Bristol Bay ; otherwise, the average range is 30 to forty feet. Gillnetters primarily harvest sockeye, mate and coho.

Purse Seiners use a large floating net, pulled and set in circle by a power skiff, to enclose schooling salmon. The weighted “purse line” at bottom of the net is drawn closed to contain the fish. The net full of fish is then gathered to the boat through a highpowered hydraulic block.

Purse seiners are not allowed north of the Alaska Peninsula; boat size is limited to 58 feet. Purse Seiners harvest mainly pink salmon near the coast and close to fresh water spawning grounds where runs are highly concentrated.

Many of the top roads in the world can be found in the States. Route 66 is probably the most famous road but there are many more like that all over.  There are great roads covering the length and width of country so getting around on them is as easy as pie. But what is the best form of transport on youradventure holidays in America?

Camper van. In true back-packer fashion you can pick a cheap campervan at one end of the country and trek across the states in until you sell it at the other end. This method is ideal if you are travelling as a group as there will be plenty of room for everyone. Additionally, you don’t have to keep stopping for accommodation and food as you can carry those with you wherever you go

Convertible. There is no more iconic image that breezing along the straight long roads with the sun on your face and the wind through your hair. The convertible car is a vehicle that is synonymous with American transport and there is a massive choice of pick from.  Personally I would go for an old Cadillac and would rent rather than buy one. This is what a lot of people do when they take fly drive holidays  All you need now is a model  girlfriend/boyfriend and some country and western on the radio to make your trip complete

Motorbike. Traveling around on two wheels is one way to put some fun into your trip, especially if you’re bike is big and the sun is out. This truly is the ultimate way to travel across the states and experience all that the American scenery and culture has to offer. If you’re not sure which bike to go for, then opt for a Harley. These bikes are sturdy as anything and demand respect on the roads. Rent shops are found across America. If you don’t want to spend you’re whole trip in the hospital, ride carefully and kit yourself out with some high quality safety gear, including a helmet

Why should you bother?

Good customer service is the life blood of any business. Although you should try and attract new customers good customer service will help generate customer loyalty and encourage repeat business. With each satisfied customer your business will secure many more customers through word of mouth and you should always keep in mind that if you are not taking proper care of your customers there is always a competitor that will.

Online customer satisfaction surveys will help by not only identifying problem areas but show that you care and are proactive in looking for ways to improve the service that you provide.

Where to start?

Objective – Before you start compiling your survey consider what the objectives of the survey are, in that way you will remain focused and find it easier to decide what questions to ask.

Analysis – In addition to the objectives consider how you will analyze the answers having completed the survey.

Keep in mind that ‘closed’ questions (where a respondent is asked to choose from a limited number of responses) are much easier to analyze than ‘open’ questions (where the respondent can reply in anyway they want).

A lot will depend on the likely volume of respondents, the higher the volume the more important it is to have an easy method of analysing the results.

Opportunity – As well as obtaining valuable market research data keep in mind that customer surveys are also a good way to advertise areas of your service that your customers may not be aware of.

Before you publish the survey confirm that the questions you have asked will provide you with market research data that when analysed will help you make informed decisions.

Then, from a marketing view point read through the survey, confirm that you have phrased each question so that every opportunity has been taken to promote your business?

The ideal question will perform the following three functions:-

• Market research – provide valuable feedback to help you improve your customer satisfaction levels and in turn your business
• Marketing – promote aspects of your business
• Information/Education – advertise a service that you provide that your customers may not have been unaware of

For example:- Do you find the in-store baby changing facilities useful?

By asking this question not only will the store receive good feedback on the facility they provide but they will also advertise their baby changing facilities and promote themselves as a family friendly store beyond those customers who have a specific need for the facility provided.

Warts and all – to maximise the benefit from a customer survey you must be prepared to take criticism.

A customer satisfaction survey should be designed to identify any problem areas so that they can be fixed; conducting regular customer satisfaction will help prevent complacency and will also give early warning on where you may be losing business to your competitors initiatives.

What to ask?

Depending on their own particular size and makeup each business is likely to have unique factors in relation to providing good customer services however there are common areas relevant to all businesses be they a physical store, online store or a service industry. The following are some key areas to providing good customer service.

Communication – Is it easy for your customers to contact you?

When customers telephone are their calls answered quickly; are their enquiries about products or services handled properly? A good business will make every effort to ensure that whatever the customers query it is resolved by the right person, quickly, politely and fairly.

If a problem cannot be resolvable immediately do you promise to respond in a given time period and do you deliver on your promise?

Use a customer satisfaction survey to confirm that all your staff are perceived by your customers as being helpful, courteous and knowledgeable.

Location – Do your customers find it easy to visit you, if a physical bricks and mortar store, is it conveniently located with good access?

Making it pleasant, making it easy – For a virtual business it is important to ensure that your website is easy to use and aesthetically pleasing.

Regardless of the store being a bricks and mortar or purely an online internet store, is the store properly laid out, can your customers find what they need and is there sufficient information and help on hand to explain how a particular product works?

The right quality products – In addition to measuring the quality of the service that you provide you should ensure that the products and services that you provide match your customers’ requirements.

Value for money – Cheap or expensive is hardly ever a good measure, value for money is.

Are the products you sell or the services you provide considered by your customers to be value for money, if not, why not?

Speed and attention – Customers want to be dealt with quickly but attentively.

Are you doing everything you can to avoid delays?

Customers like to be treated as individuals, how do you treat your customers? Attention is one thing but this has to be hand- in-hand with a quick and satisfactory resolution of the query.

Demographics and Specific issues – Take the opportunity to profile your customers, for example what is their age group and where do they live?

By understanding your customers more, the better your chances of correctly targeting your business.

Allow customers to highlight their specific problems and provide contact details.

What is next?

Analyze the results once the survey has been completed.

Trends – Identify common and specific areas where the customer service is failing.

Ask yourself honestly if any criticism that you receive is valid and if there anything that can be done to resolve or minimise the problem?

Training – Are the staff properly trained and do they have sufficient knowledge?

Where staff training programmes have been implemented have they had a positive impact on the business?

Follow-up – If a customer who has completed a survey has raised a specific issue ensure that they are contacted and their complaint addressed.

Do not lose the opportunity to resolve a problem and keep a customer.

Continuously Monitor – Based on the survey results make changes and then re-measure by issuing further surveys.

If you are interested in tracking customer satisfaction and would like to see a sample survey for a store that demonstrates some of the above advice please view the following example that can be used as a customer satisfaction survey template.
