Palm Sunday tornado outbreak revisited, 54 years later
PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — Thursday marks 54 years since the infamous Palm Sunday tornado outbreak in six states, which killed 271 people and injured 1,500 others, including some in West Michigan.
On April 11, 1965, Two EF4 tornadoes struck Branch and Hillsdale counties within 30 minutes, killing 21 people. The twisters moved across Coldwater Lake, Devils Lake, Manitou Beach and Baw Beese Lake, destroying hundreds of cottages and homes.
An EF4 tornado also tore through Ottawa County, heading east into Kent County. It hammered Comstock Park and Rockford before moving into northeastern Montcalm County, where it dissipated.

An EF4 tornado north of Lansing killed one person and there was a tornado fatality near Middleville in Barry County. Another tornado hit north of Kalamazoo, injuring 17 people.
Tornadoes also formed near Hastings, Bay City and Unionville. Two twisters hit Alma.
While the toll was high, the number of casualties could've been worse. The tornadoes tore through the area when it was too early for summer cottage owners to return to West Michigan and many people were attending Palm Sunday church services.
Chief Meteorologist Bill Steffen said after the disaster, the U.S. Weather Bureau (now known as the National Weather Service) rolled out the watch and warning system it still uses today.

Road Trip – Day 5 – Sunday
Many of the guests who came in for the Saturday party departed Sunday morning. Some left by car and some headed to the airport at Knoxville. The gang from Traverse City was flying Knoxville to LaGuardia (NYC) to Traverse City. Those who were left went to church. The church was full. For the summer, they combined the 10 pm and noon services, since fewer people come to the noon service in the warmer months. The sermon was on the Good Samaritan and after the service, the youth group put on a traditional Irish breakfast for everyone.
The day ended with thundershowers and the pic. up top shows a thunderstorm (cumulonimbus) on the left and the cross of St. Mary's Church on the right. There was a diminishing thundershower overhead to the south that had just put out it's last flash of lightning. These airmass t-storms form in the heat of the afternoon, then diminish as the air cools due to the rain and the cooling at sunset. With very light winds at the surface and aloft, there was very little wind with the storms, but a period of moderate to heavy rain. Oak Ridge had 0.69" of rain Saturday evening (after 8 pm) and then another 0.57" on Sunday.

First full moon of summer Tuesday
by Emily Schuitema / Jul 15, 2019
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Tuesday will be the first full moon of summer.
This full moon is also known as the Buck Moon, and it's named after male deer who typically grow new antlers around this time of year. It's also known as the Thunder Moon because of the stormy weather which is associated with the summer months.

Windows 10 release date, features, devices and free upgrade: A free Windows 10 upgrade path is ending very soon
Others 92 Views
Windows 10 at-a-glance
Windows 10 launched globally on 29 July 2015 and was touted as "the last version of Windows", marking the end of decades of occasional heavy duty OS updates in favour of a more incremental approach. Here's our round-up of everything you need to know about Windows 10.
Read our full review of Windows 10 here
Windows 10 latest news
01/11/2017: A free Windows 10 upgrade path is ending very soon
Microsoft has quietly announced it will be ending free Windows 120 upgrades for badistive technologies users come the end of the year, after saying it would not be available to everyone forever when it was first announced.
The badistive technologies page has been upgraded to say: "If you use badistive technologies, you can upgrade to Windows 10 at no cost as Microsoft continues our efforts to improve the Windows 10 experience for people who use these technologies Please take advantage of this offer before it expires on December 31, 2017."
Although the path was initially designed for people using the accessibility options on their computer, there's no verification process in place to stop those without extra needs upgrading, so it's possible users who don't want to stump up the $119 fee to get Windows 10 have been using the badistive technologies pathway to get around paying.
If you still want to upgrade after this particular path expires, you can still use an existing Windows 7/8.1 product key to get the platform for free. However, it's not clear whether Microsoft will stop this route to free Windows 10 upgrades from working at the end of the year as well.
24/10/2017: Microsoft reveals Creators Update schedule
Microsoft has revealed more details about the rollout of Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, explaining in a blog post when it will arrive for your computer, smartphone and other devices.
Anyone can download and install the update already, after its formal release last week, but it's only being pushed out to devices that have been already tested by Microsoft. "By starting with machines which we believe will have the best update experience, we are able to get focused feedback on application compatibility and how Windows works with the rich ecosystem of available peripherals like Bluetooth devices or cameras," said John Cable, director of program management for Windows Servicing and Delivery.
Microsoft will decide which devices to update next based on feedback from manufacturers as well as end-user testers, via Windows Insiders and Windows Insider for Business. "This helps us determine when to accelerate the release to additional devices," he said. "We repeat this process until all compatible devices running Windows 10 worldwide are offered the Fall Creators Update."
Cable advised businesses to follow Microsoft's lead and rollout in phases. "Start with targeted deployments to validate that apps, devices and infrastructure used by your organisation work well with the new release," he said. "Then continue your deployment to more and more devices based on the results from your initial targeted deployments."
19/10/2017: Windows 10 ARM devices will have all day battery life
Microsoft reveals Windows 10 ARM will have multi-day battery life.
Microsoft has confirmed that the battery life of laptops running Windows 10 ARM will be "really, really good."
Although, the man making the statement – Pete Bernard, principal group programme manager at Microsoft -said that he didn't have the final statistics, as reported by Trusted Reviews at Qualcomm's annual 5G Summit.
"To be frank, it's actually beyond our expectations," he explained. "We set a high bar for [our developers], and we're now beyond that. It's the kind of battery life where I use it on a daily basis. I don't take my charger with me. I may charge it every couple of days or so. It's that kind of battery life."
Bernard added: "I would consider it a game-changer in terms of the way people have experienced PCs in the past."
The new devices were announced last December and will run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 chipset. Qualcomm's Don McGuire, vice president of global product marketing, confirmed that the companies were still on target for their release date of December 2017. He hinted: "I think that expectation will be met. You'll be hearing more from us over the next coming weeks regarding that."
Furthermore, Microsoft revealed it was testing the laptops at its headquarters. Bernard said: "We've been on this journey for almost a year. We've been working furiously in Redmond and with our partners in San Diego."
He added: "We have hundreds of these devices being used on a daily basis in Redmond."
Moreover, he suggested that more partners will produce the device, aside from Asus, HP and Lenovo.
"Over time, there's going to be a portfolio of devices from manufacturers. We've had some conversations with other OEMs too, for future devices, that are very exciting about bringing their own spin," said Bernard.
Lastly, McGuire also talked about the Windows 10 Snapdragon programme: "We are starting with [the Snapdragon] 835, and I think what you'll see from us as we roll out our next-generation platforms, we'll be rolling those out strategically…with mobile PC in mind."
"You'll see an evolved roadmap with mobile PCs in it more definitively than in the past. You'll see an evolution of different tiers of devices," he continued.
He also said that Windows 10 laptops will not be retrofitted with existing Qualcomm chips unless it was the Snapdragon 835: "As far as backward, we're not going to look backward."
Qualcomm announced it had formed partnerships with Asus, HP and Lenovo back in May to bring ARM processors to a new generation of Windows 10 PCs. It will be the first time a Windows machine is capable of accessing gigabit wireless connections since the Snapdragon 835 processor supports X16 LTE modems.
17/10/2017: Windows 10 Fall Creators Update starts rolling out today
Microsoft started rolling out its latest Windows 10 update to users today, who will get in a staggered release schedule to accommodate the 500 million devices running the operating system.
Calling it a "measured, deliberate" rollout, Microsoft said it wants to ensure everybody's upgrade goes smoothly, but it means that many people will have to wait a while for the update.
A spokesperson told the Daily Express that devices already running the Creators Update – released back in April in a similarly staggered way – will get the Fall update first, before Microsoft targets machines running older updates, like the August 2016 Anniversary Update.
"Once a device is eligible, the Fall Creators Update will automatically download through Windows Update if you've chosen to have updates installed automatically on your device; this is the optimal experience we recommend," the spokesperson said.
But those impatient for the new software release can download it themselves as a disc image from Microsoft's Software Download page, though Microsoft says this is strictly for experts.
The Fall Creators Update will bring a host of new features to Microsoft's operating system, including upfront access to the company's privacy statement during the setup process, and forcing apps to seek user permission to access things like a device camera.
Meanwhile the Windows Shell – the Start menu and Taskbar – will undergo a facelift designed to make it more user-friendly, using Fluent Design (see below), its new design language.
Microsoft is also pushing augmented reality in the new release, running the latest OS update on a range of Windows Mixed Reality headsets available from OEMs from today.
16/10/2017: Microsoft offers sneak peek at Fluent Design
Microsoft has shown off how its new design language, dubbed Fluent Design, will change Windows 10 in the Fall Creators Update set to land this week.
Fluent Design is Microsoft's new design language, an interface style that uses depth, motion, lighting and translucency to step away from the flat feel of Metro, its predecessor. Not only will it inform Windows itself, but the designs can be used across apps to help tie the whole system's look and feel together.
The Fall Creators Update will see the arrival of a few hints of Fluent Design, though it's expected to roll out gradually over a long time.
The video hints at a few of the changes, which remain subtle. The teaser trailer shows a stylus interacting with the calculator and a photo app — hinting that the ability to write in "ink" in any app could be set to arrive — while a range of apps are shown with translucent navigation menus and windows, and there's plenty of animation to make it all feel alive and vibrant.
Rather than describe the subtle changes though, you can watch the video below to get a sense of what to expect from Fluent Design in Windows 10.
The changes are expected in the Fall Creators Update set to land 17 October, which will include tweaks to how OneDrive surfaces files, changes to voice badistant Cortana that will let users lock their PC or shut it down, and a few security, performance and readability improvements for the Edge browser.
13/10/2017: Microsoft Edge rated 'best at blocking phishing attacks'
Microsoft Edge has been found to be significantly better than rival browsers at identifying and blocking phishing attacks.
In new research published by security badysis firm NSS Labs, Microsoft's Edge browser offered the most protection against online threats, and was better at identifying new phishing URLs than Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.
Its Web Browser Security Comparative Reports, seen by MSPoweruser, measured the performance of leading browsers across 36,120 test cases, which included 1,136 hidden URLs designed to delivering phishing attacks against a user's PC.
Over a 23 day period, Microsoft Edge was able to block an average of 92.3% of the malicious URLs, compared to 74.5% blocked by Chrome, and just 61.1% stopped on Firefox.
In terms of identifying new phishing URLs, Edge also roundly beat the competition, achieving a zero-hour protection rate of 81.8%, compared to 58.6% and 50.7% for Chrome and Firefox.
Interestingly, although there was a marked difference between the browsers, the report found that a locked-down operating system made little impact on the overall performance. Microsoft Edge performed just as well on Windows 10 as it did on Windows 10 S, and there was no difference between Google Chrome on ChromeOS and Windows 10.
It will be welcome news for Microsoft, given that it has been trying to push Edge onto its Windows 10 users, who are still overwhelmingly turning to other software for a default browser. Various versions of Google's Chrome browser hold over 37% of the market share, while Microsoft's Edge is one of the least popular at 4%.
To put that into context, Microsoft's older Internet Explorer 11 browser, most recently updated in 2015, still has almost 12% of the market share despite Microsoft's efforts to phase it out.
12/10/2017: Microsoft makes Windows 10 Fall Creators Update SDK available
Microsoft has announced general availability of the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update SDK, meaning developers can finally develop apps for the latest iteration of Microsoft's operating system.
The biggest change in this SDK is the introduction of support for Microsoft's Mixed Reality, taking advantage of augmented reality and virtual reality, whether for gaming or other applications that can come alive in 3D.
"As humans, we interact with space constantly, and Windows Mixed Reality will feel the most natural for users," Kevin Gallo, corporate vice president, of the Windows Developer Platform said. "With HoloLens, we have already demonstrated unrivaled innovation that is transforming industries. Now, our immersive headsets offer unrivaled experiences."
The Windows 10 Fall Creators Update SDK will also "modernise" applications for the workplace, allowing developers to create new apps or update existing code to work on the platform and help boost productivity. To make the process of updating apps easier for developers, they can use Visual Studio 2017 version 15.4 to use the app packaging without having to convert the existing installer.
"Whether you're building immersive experiences for Windows Mixed Reality, games, education or business applications, community is crucial to the Windows developer platform," Kevin Gallo, corporate vice president, of the Windows Developer Platform said. "I look forward to seeing what you create with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update SDK."
06/10/2017: Microsoft Edge is coming to Android and iOS
Microsoft is finally bringing Windows 10's desktop web browser to non-Windows smartphones, announcing that Edge is coming to Android and iOS devices for the first time.
Edge users will be able to sync their bookmarks, favourites, reading lists and history across both their PC and their smartphones. The new app also brings features like Reading View and New Tab Page to iOS and Android, and there's also the ability to open whatever page you're looking at on your phone to your Windows 10 PC.
Microsoft hasn't made any claims about the power efficiency of Edge versus rival mobile browsers like Chrome, Firefox and Safari, but the company is bullish about how well the desktop version compares, so it's possible that switching could net users big gains in battery life. It's also unknown whether or not the mobile version of Edge will feature integrations with Cortana – something that played a big part in the recent Fall Creators Update.
iOS users can preview the app starting today via Apple TestFlight, and an Android version will be available to test soon – just head here to sign up. The previews will only support US English at launch, but Microsoft says that more languages will be added as time goes on. Some of Edge's other features, including tablet support and pbadword roaming, will also be added later down the line.
The news marks a further blow for Microsoft's ailing mobile OS. Windows 10 Mobile has been a continual disappointment for the company, consistently losing money and failing to attract customers. One of the most embarrbading moments came last month, when Microsoft founder Bill Gates revealed that even he has abandoned Windows Mobile.
Rumours have been persistently swirling that Microsoft is planning to axe Windows 10 Mobile altogether, but while this has yet to be officially confirmed, the news that Microsoft is bringing its flagship browser to other platforms suggests that it may be moving in this direction.
Windows 10 release date
Windows 10 started to roll out to consumers on 29 July 2015.
The news of a July release came as little surprise to Microsoft watchers, as the company had stated the release would come in summer 2015, and AMD's CEO Lisa Su tipped the world off to a July launch thanks to a slip of the tongue during an earnings call in April that year.
The RTM build was delivered to OEM partners to image new devices on 15 July, and another build is being delivered to retailers to upgrade unsold devices currently running Windows 8.1.
The first end users to get the finished version of the product were the five million Windows 10 Insiders using the operating system in a preview. Following that, Redmond began offering the upgrade to Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 users.
One year after the initial launch of Windows 10, Microsoft rolled out the Anniversary Update, which introduced useful tweaks but was a little light on new features. You can read our full review of the Windows 10 Anniversary Update here.
Volume licensing customers are able to download Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Education from the Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC).
System requirements for Windows 10 can be found here.
Windows 10 different versions
As with its predecessors, Windows 10 is available in various different versions: Windows 10 Home, Windows 10 Mobile, Windows 10 Pro, Windows 10 Enterprise, Windows 10 Education and Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise.
Windows 10 Home is the standard edition of Windows for consumer PCs, tablets and hybrids such as the Surface 3 and upcoming Surface Pro 4. This version of the OS features personal badistant Cortana, Edge browser, Continuum and Windows Hello facial recognition, as well as standard Universal Apps like Mail, Calendar, Photos and Maps.
Windows 10 Mobile, which had until now been known as Windows 10 for Phones, "is designed to deliver the best user experience on … smartphones and small tablets", according to Microsoft. It has many of the same features as Windows 10 Home, although Continuum is only available on large mobile devices.
Windows 10 Pro is aimed at small businesses and includes all the features of Windows 10 Home plus device and app management, data protection services, and support for remote and mobile working.

Netflix adds 15.8 million subscribers during the last quarter, more than double the forecast
Netflix presented the first quarter 2020 financial results to its shareholders, who received the numbers from home with a smile. The company, one of the beneficiaries of the global pandemic, has announced that between January and March it managed to add 15.8 million subscribers, a year-on-year growth of 22% and more than double the 7.2 million it expected. Netflix currently has 182 million customers worldwide.
Last quarter Netflix posted revenue of $5.768 billion, up 27.5% from last year and in line with internal forecasts. On a profit basis, the company has posted $709 million, compared to $304 million reported for the same period last year. The downside of this growth is that as countries lift lockdown, it will cost more to grow and subscriber growth will slow.
Netflix has also reported that one of its most recent successes is Tiger King, a mini documentary series that during the first four weeks has been seen in more than 64 million homes. These numbers are similar to those of the third season of Stranger Things and lower than those recorded by The Witcher, the series with the best premiere on the platform thanks to the 76 million views it registered in a month. As for La Casa de Papel, its fourth season has achieved 65 million broadcasts since its premiere.

Q: Filtering with dplyr not working as expected how are you?
I have the next problem, that is very weird because the task it is very simple.
I want to filter one of my factor variables in R, but the outcome is an empty dataframe.
So my data frame is called "data_2022", if i execute this code:
sum(data_2022$CANALDEVENTA=="WEB")

The result is 2704800 that is the number of times that this filter is TRUE.
a= data_2022 %>% filter(CANALDEVENTA=="WEB")

This returns an empty data frame.
I know i am not an expert in R, but i have done the last thing a million times and i never had this error before.
Do you have a clue about whats the problem with this?
Sorry i did not make a reproducible example.
Already thank you.

A: you could use subset function:
a<-subset(data_2022, CANALDEVENTA=="WEB")

using tidyverse, make sure you are using the function from dplyr::filter. filter is looking for a logical expression but probably you apply it to a data.frame. Try this code too:
my_names<-c("WEB")
a<-dplyr::filter(data_2022, CANALDEVENTA %in% my_names)

Hope it works.

Oroville, California, US -- I've covered a lot of wildfires, but it was the first time that I saw something like that. I was thinking as it was happening, 'This is something different." And I guess it was, judging by the feedback that it's received.
I happened upon the scene in the early evening. In the daytime it had been relatively calm and I had been shooting for a good four hours or so. Wildfires are a regular thing in California, and I really enjoy shooting them.
What made this fire stand out was the weather patterns. They were continuously changing. So in the late afternoon and at night, you got these sundowner winds. These types of winds constantly shift direction and make the fire really unpredictable, because you can have a 15-mile-per-hour (24-km-per-hour) wind that just comes out of nowhere and stokes the flames.
When I came across this particular house, I had been shooting for a good four hours already. Flames were starting to pop up all over the place. I had been driving around, looking for a burning structure and I saw that the flames were creeping toward this house. So I stopped to take a look. There was a wall of smoke around the house. I headed in.
In the state of California, the media are allowed to go anywhere where firefighters go. Which makes it very easy to work. We can go right up to and into the flames if we want to. We are required to wear full safety gear, so we wear the same things that firefighters do -- yellow fire retardant suits, headlamps, the works.
I love photographing fires. I think wildfires are awesome and spectacular and visual and powerful and scary. They are these naturally occurring events that help you feel humble as a human and remind you just how powerful and beautiful nature can be. I love shooting natural disasters of all sorts, it's my thing.
Mostly I go alone, but sometimes I'll go with a colleague. I'd say there is only a handful of photographers in the area who really know how to cover a wildfire well, while remaining safe. It's important that we find the right balance between staying safe, telling the story, and staying out of the firefighters' way.
When I shoot wildfires, I go all out. I go into the fire zone for two or three days in a row. I just sleep in my car. In fact, I specifically chose a Toyota 4Runner because it has both 4-wheel-drive and the back seats fold down perfectly flat, so I can sleep when I need to take a break from shooting. Sometimes I'll work for 24 hours straight, I'll be up at 6 in the morning, or until the flames are dying down.
I've had lots of close calls. Lots of scary moments over the years, when you see huge walls of flames approaching the road you're on. Once, it looked almost tornado-like. You could hear the roar and it was approaching faster and faster. I ended up having to run back to my truck, dropping and breaking my headlamp along the way. It was pretty scary because I felt the wind shifting and sucking hot air into the flames. It was like the fire was creating its own weather. That's when you get embers flying every which way, spreading it.
Given the incredible access that we the media have in California, we have to be as inconspicuous as possible. It's important that we try to stay out of the way, so we don't hamper the firefighting efforts. So when I stepped through the wall of smoke toward that house, the firefighters on the scene didn't really notice me, they just went about their business.
They were doing what they usually do, which is building a containment line to try to protect the property. They do that by spraying water around the house, setting up a perimeter in an effort to stop the flames from reaching it, and clearing any debris between the flames and the structure that could catch fire.
Usually what happens is that firefighters will do what they can at one property and move on to others. So these guys seemed to be done, when one of them turned around and saw the flag. They discussed something for a brief moment -- I couldn't hear what because I was too far away -- and they seemed to agree to take the flag down.
So they headed to the balcony where it was hanging from and tried to reach it, but it was too high, so they ended up lifting one of the firefighters to get the flag.
As it was happening, I remember thinking how it was something different, it just wasn't something that I usually see during wildfires.
It was a jubilant moment. They were laughing. Then they rolled it up, put it away on the property and moved on. The whole thing didn't last for more than a few minutes.
The photo got a lot of play and as it did, two theories developed as to why they stopped in the middle of a fire to take down a flag.
One was that they did it as a symbolic, patriotic gesture. As in, we don't know if we can save the house, but at least we can save the American flag. Maybe that's why the photo got so much attention, as it's such a strange political time in America right now.
The other theory is that by removing the flag, they were just doing their job, ie removing any debris that could help the fire spread. This also makes sense -- a flag is made out of fabric and could potentially catch a flying spark and set the house on fire. If there had been a blanket hanging from that balcony, they would have removed it too.
I don't think we'll ever know what their motivations were. I've connected with them since and they've just told me that they were doing their job. They don't want to dwell on the point and I can understand them. Once they pulled the flag down, they moved on to protect other properties and I moved on to take other shots..
In the end, the house was saved, and the flag put back in its place. Whatever the reason those firefighters took it down, the bottom line is that they saved the house and moved on to protect other structures. Because that is what they do.

Moon urges local governments' efforts to create jobs
President Moon Jae-in on Thursday urged local governments to step up their own efforts to create more jobs while promising increased support from the central government. "The people's concerns are growing due to a drop in recent job indicators. Many regions are also facing difficulties from the fallout of restructuring. Creating jobs, especially good jobs, is the current issue facing both the central and local governments," the president said in a meeting with the heads of 17 provincial and metropolitan city governments.

'N. Korea Told Pompeo Not to Come Without Things to Offer in Secret Letter'
North Korea's senior official Kim Yong-chol reportedly told U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo not to visit Pyongyang unless he is willing to offer something. Reuters quoted a senior U.S. official on Thursday as saying that the letter to Pompeo said that North Korea believed the U.S. was not doing enough. Reuters said that the letter convinced U.S. officials to distrust the North's commitment to its denuclearization and to lose hope for positive results from Pompeo's planned trip.
S. Korea's Industrial Output Up 0.5% in July
South Korea's industrial output posted growth but facility investment decreased for the fifth consecutive month in July. According to data from Statistics Korea on Friday, the country's overall industrial output increased point-five percent in July on-month. The figure has been fluctuating, increasing point-three percent in May and slipping point-seven percent the next month. It then posted growth last month.
Extra Parliamentary Session Ends without Passing Major Deregulation Bills
This month's extra parliamentary session has failed to pass bills on easing Internet-only banks' ownership cap and other key deregulation measures. During August's final plenary session at the National Assembly on Thursday, the negotiation blocs discussed a special bill aimed at raising nonfinancial firms' ownership limit for web-only banks from the current 4 percent, however, they failed to narrow differences and put it to a vote.
Yonhap (http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr)
N. Korea wants to continue talks with U.S.: Amb. Cho
North Korea remains determined to maintain the momentum of dialogue with the United States despite a recent hiccup, South Korea's top envoy in Washington said Thursday. Ambassador Cho Yoon-je dismissed a view that Pyongyang and Washington are shifting back to a confrontation after months of diplomatic engagement. "North Korea's intention of maintaining dialogue momentum is certain," he told South Korea's Washington, D.C. correspondents.
U.S. extends travel ban on N. Korea
The U.S. government said Thursday it has decided to keep a ban on its nationals traveling to North Korea amid what officials in Washington describe as a "slow and tough" denuclearization process. "The safety and security of U.S. citizens overseas is one of our highest priorities," the Department of State said in a statement. "The travel warning for North Korea remains in place." It "strongly" warned U.S. citizens not to travel to North Korea," citing "continued concerns about the threat of arrest and long-term detention" of them there.
Parties fail to agree on key bills on easing regulations
Rival parties failed Thursday to narrow their differences about bills on easing Internet-only banks' ownership cap and other key deregulation measures. The bill aimed at raising nonfinancial firms' ownership limit for web-only banks from the current 4 percent is one of the most contentious issues pending at the ongoing extraordinary session of the National Assembly.

Moon replaces five ministers in first reshuffle
President Moon Jae-in on Thursday nominated five new ministers, including ministers of defense and education, and four vice minister-level officials, carrying out his first Cabinet reshuffle since taking office. For the post of Minister of National Defense, Moon tapped Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Jeong Kyeong-doo, who built his career in the Air Force. Jeong is to replace Song Young-moo, a former Navy admiral who has been at the center of numerous controversies during his term in office.
Trump sends mixed signals on military drills, blames China
US President Donald Trump on Wednesday reaffirmed his decision to suspend joint military exercises with South Korea, but also warned he could "instantly" resume the drills, and they could be "far bigger than ever before," both appeasing and pressuring North Korea amid the stalled denuclearization talks. Without directly taking aim at North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, Trump blamed China -- North Korea's biggest ally, currently engaged in an intensifying trade dispute with the US -- for a lack of progress on North Korea's denuclearization.
UNC rejects two Koreas' request to test-run cross-border railway
The United Nations Command declined the two Koreas' request to test-run a train on a cross-border railway last week, sources said Thursday, fueling speculation that the US might be reluctant to support inter-Korean projects amid stalled denuclearization talks with North Korea. A test operation of a train connecting the South's capital of Seoul to the North's Shinuiju, which lies on the border with China, was initially planned for Aug. 22-27 as part of the Koreas' joint field survey on modernizing cross-border railways, according to the Unification Ministry.
The Korea Times (http://www.koreatimes.co.kr)
President asks governors, mayors to help create jobs
President Moon Jae-in called for help from regional governments in creating jobs, Thursday, as the job crisis is weighing on his presidency. "The central government has so far issued guidance on job creation businesses to local governments, but this top-down approach can only generate limited outcomes," Moon said during a meeting with mayors and governors at Cheong Wa Dae.
Army develops 'virtual' drill systems
The Army has developed a series of head-mounted devices for firing and command exercises by incorporating 3D imaging technologies ― such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). The military held a demonstration ceremony Thursday to celebrate the development of the virtual gunnery and battle command exercise ― powered by the two emerging technologies. According to the Army, a group of 16 researchers started developing the virtual training platforms in July last year following an investment of 3.2 billion won ($2.88 million). The Army plans to introduce the systems for reserve forces and active duty soldiers by the end of this year.
Korean vets' chairman gets standing ovation at American Legion convention
Retired South Korean General Kim Jin-ho praised the soldiers who fought in the Korean War, as well as U.S. President Donald Trump for helping bring regional security to the divided Korean Peninsula, at a national convention for American veterans Tuesday. The Chairman of the Korean Veterans Association spoke at the 100th National Convention of the American Legion at the Minneapolis Convention Center in Minnesota.

University Grads Learn Technical Skills for Tough Job Market
Record youth unemployment is prompting a growing number of university graduates to learn practical skills like welding to boost their chances of landing any kind of job. Of the 8,662 new students Korea Polytechnic University admitted into its two-year degree program this year, 1,334 had already attended other universities. In 2015, only 455 out of its 9,323 new students came from other universities, so the proportion increased threefold. In KPU's one-year certificate program, 27 percent of new students are university graduates.
Chinese Spy Jet Buzzes Korea's Air Identification Zone Again
A Chinese military reconnaissance jet flew into Korea's air defense identification zone again without warning on Wednesday. It flew to an area about 96 km east of Gangneung on the east coast before turning back. The incursion came only a few hours after U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis hinted at resuming joint military drills with South Korea and was the fifth such incident this year. According to the Joint Chiefs of Staff here, the Chinese Y-9 spy aircraft flew into Korea's ADIZ from southwest of Ieo Island around 7:37 a.m. without identifying itself as protocol requires.
UAE Official to Visit Seoul to Prepare for Summit
Presidential chief of staff Im Jong-seok on Wednesday spoke with a senior adviser to the ruler of the UAE amid a fresh flare-up in a spat with the emirates over a secretive military deal. Im spoke on the phone with Khaldoon Al Mubarak, a senior adviser to the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan. They talked for 25 minutes to "discuss Khaldoon's visit to prepare for a visit by Crown Prince Mohammed to Korea," according to Cheong Wa Dae.
HanKyoReh Shinmun (http://english.hani.co.kr)
South Korean government takes no concrete stance on Mattis's comments
After US Secretary of Defense James Mattis reportedly said that South Korea and the US have no plans to suspend any more of their joint military exercises, South Korea's defense and foreign policy officials are keeping a close eye on the background and motivations of Mattis's remarks. "Secretary Mattis's remarks appear to be in line with our previous agreement with the US in regard to suspending the joint military exercises, and no additional agreement has been reached," South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Aug. 29.
Japan held secret meeting with North Korea in Vietnam after Singapore summit, report says
Japan appears to have had a top-secret meeting with North Korea in Vietnam last July following a North Korea-US summit on June 12 in Singapore. Citing anonymous sources, the Washington Post reported on Aug. 28 that Japanese Cabinet Intelligence and Research Office chief Shigeru Kitamura had a secret meeting in Vietnam last month with Kim Song-hye, head of the united front tactical office in the North Korean United Front Department. The newspaper also reported that US officials "expressed irritation" over Japan's failure to provide prior notification about the encounter.
UN Command blocks inspection plans for inter-Korean railway
Plans for a South Korean train to travel to Sinuiju for a joint South and North Korean inspection of railway conditions in the North were reportedly put on ice after the UN Command refused to grant permission. The South Korean government's position is that the project in question does not represent an area subject to UN or US sanctions against North Korea. Critics have been vocal in proclaiming that Washington's interference in inter-Korean cooperation efforts to implement the terms of the Apr. 27 Panmunjeom Declaration have reached the point of infringing on sovereignty. The commander of the UN Command also serves as US Forces Korea commander.

Korean scientists lead researches for super-fast battery recharging technology
Battery is always a problem when using a smartphone. It would be nice to have a high-capacity battery but it is heavier and takes longer to recharge. Latest smartphone models and tablet computers last about seven to eight hours in continuous use on a single charge. Electric cars can run 200 to 300 kilometers on a single charge. But the current battery technology has reached its limit. In order to further enhance recharging, a new battery technology is required. First, scientists and engineers are conducting research projects to further improve the existing battery technology.
'Local governments should lead job creation,' Moon says
South Korean President Moon Jae-in, who is embarking on generating jobs day after day since the employment shock, invited the heads of seventeen provinces and cities to the presidential office Cheong Wa Dae to create jobs. Under the title "Jobs in the Republic of Korea, Local Governments will Participate in its Creation," President Moon held the first meeting with heads of cities and provinces for some two hours from 11:00 a.m. on Thursday.
LG 'Signature Kitchen Suite' makes its debut in European market
LG Electronics will officially launch its ultra-premium built-in kitchen appliances brand "Signature Kitchen Suite" in the European market and expand its dominance in the European home appliances sector. "We will increase our market share in Europe's competitive built-in kitchen appliances market by equipping ourselves with innovative functions, design where the spirit of masters can be felt as well as distinguishing smart service," said Song Dae-hyeon, chief of the H&A headquarters of LG Electronics, in Berlin on Thursday (local time).

Moon shuffles cabinet for first time in 15 months
The Blue House carried out its first major cabinet reshuffle on Thursday since taking power 15 months ago, changing the heads of five ministries. They are the Education Ministry; Defense Ministry; Trade, Energy and Industry Ministry; Employment and Labor Ministry; and Gender Equality and Family Ministry. President Moon Jae-in also made four vice-ministerial appointments in Thursday's reshuffle.
Heating up of real estate worries government
The Blue House, government and ruling Democratic Party have agreed on the need to cool off the real estate market, which recently became stimulated by Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon's announcement of major development projects in Yeouido, western Seoul, and Yongsan, in central Seoul - which he backtracked on later. Lee Hae-chan, in his first meeting with senior officials from the Blue House and government since being elected leader of the Democratic Party, suggested raising the comprehensive real estate tax.
U.S. lifts steel quotas on Korea
U.S. President Donald Trump signed a proclamation relieving Korea of steel export quotas to the United States only five months after their implementation. Citing a statement by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Trump signed proclamations relieving Korea, Brazil and Argentina from steel quotas and Argentina from an aluminum quota, Reuters reported on Wednesday. Quota relief is permitted if U.S.-produced steel cannot fulfill demand in the country.

Jang Ha-sung, "Deteriorating Indicators Show We Need to Accelerate Income-Driven Growth"
On August 26, Jang Ha-sung, chief of policy at Cheong Wa Dae said, "The recent employment and household income indicators are telling us to accelerate the implementation of income-driven growth policies, not to abandon them." He further asked, "If we don't promote income-driven growth policies, are you telling us we should return to past policies?" As for the recent concerns triggered by the employment and income distribution indicators, Jang said, "As an official overseeing state affairs, I would like to apologize to the people first," but he refused the request by conservatives for the government to abandon its drive for income-driven growth.
Court Rules for Samsung C&T to Compensate Damages Caused by Company's Interference with Union Activities
The court ruled that Samsung C&T, which hired a security firm to block labor union activities and laid off employees involved in the establishment of the union, should compensate the union members for damages. According to the legal circle on August 23, Civil Department 14 (Chief judge Gang Hwa-seok) of the Seoul Eastern District Court sided in favor of the plaintiff in a lawsuit for compensation filed by Jo Jang-hee, vice-chairman of the Samsung union--a branch of the Gyeonggi chapter of the Korean Metal Workers' Union--against Samsung C&T on August 22. The court ordered Samsung C&T to pay Jo 50 million won; Bak Won-wu, head of the union, 7 million won; and Baek Seung-jin, the secretary-general 2 million won.
"Take Care, Mother," Cried the Two Daughters from North Korea
"Mother, take good care of yourself." When Han Shin-ja (99), a mother from South Korea boarded a bus to return home after the reunion of separated families, her two daughters from the North, Kim Kyong-sil (72) and Kim Kyong-yong (71) tapped the window and cried, "Mother." Han, tears also flowing from her eyes, got up from her seat and said, "Don't cry. Take care." The mother and daughters spoke mouthing the words, because they couldn't hear each other over the bus window. When the daughters made an effort to look into the bus window, which was too high for their height, officials and reporters from the two Koreas held them up. The mother and daughters, who met after 67 years, placed their palms against the window and waved the photographs that they had exchanged as they said their goodbyes once again.

Husband sentenced to life for killing wife with lethal dose of nicotine
A 22-year-old man was sentenced to life for killing her 19-year-old wife with a lethal dose of nicotine during their honeymoon in Japan in a crime aimed at getting her death benefit worth 150 million won ($135,257). The man was arrested in March for killing his wife in Osaka on April 25 last year. He was found guilty of using a crude liquid of nicotine for his murder and reported to Japanese police that his wife committed suicide.
Samsung confident of releasing true QLED TV ahead of rivals
Samsung Electronics is confident of becoming the world's first to commercialize true self-emitting quantum dot LED (QLED) TVs ahead of rivals, admitting a high price would be the biggest challenge. Samsung promotes LCD TVs enhanced with a quantum dot film layer between the LCD panel and the LED backlight. Quantum dot LCD is a short-term strategy before moving to self-emitting QLED displays which will replace the passive color filters in front of liquid crystal pixels with a quantum dot color filter.

Origine du nom
Andlau est une déformation du mot Andelaha en Andelaw ou Andlaw. Le premier mot pourrait provenir du nom primitif de la rivière dont on trouve des traces dans les anciennes cartes établies aux . Cette rivière de  coule depuis le Champ du Feu jusqu'à l'Ill et se trouve être à l'origine du nom de la commune. La ville a ensuite pris le nom de la rivière. Le , Andlau s'appelait Andlau-au-Val pour la distinguer de celui de Andelot dans la Haute-Marne. Au début du , le nom redevient Andlau.

Histoire

Un domaine occupé dès l'époque gallo-romaine
Le village est sans doute déjà occupé à l'époque gallo-romaine. Ensuite, c'est autour de l'abbaye de moniales fondée en 880 par Richarde de Souabe, fille du comte d'Alsace connu sous le nom d'Erchangar, que se développe le village. Sainte Richarde épouse par la suite l'empereur Charles le Gros, petit-fils de Louis le Débonnaire.Selon la légende, Richarde est accusée d'inconduite par son mari. Afin de démontrer son innocence, elle se soumet à l'épreuve du feu : pieds nus et vêtue d'une chemise enduite de cire, elle traverse les flammes sans la moindre brûlure. Justifiée, mais meurtrie par le vil soupçon, elle quitte son château et s'en va dans la forêt. Un ange lui apparaît et lui enjoint de fonder un monastère à l'endroit que lui indiquera une ourse. À l'entrée du val d'Eléon, sur les bords du torrent, elle aperçoit la bête annoncée qui gratte la terre. C'est donc à cet endroit que s'élèvera l'abbaye d'Andlau. En souvenir de son origine, l'abbaye logera et nourrira gratuitement les montreurs d'ours de passage et entretiendra un ours vivant.Telle est la légende. En fait, Richarde a déjà fondé Andlau depuis 7 ans quand Charles le Gros la répudie. C'est là qu'elle se retire. Elle est canonisée en 1049 par le pape Léon IX, un Alsacien. Les religieuses d'Andlau, toutes de noble naissance, avaient le droit de quitter le couvent et de se marier. Seule l'abbesse prononçait des vœux définitifs. Elle portait le titre, envié, de princesse du Saint-Empire.

La fondation d'une abbaye
Cette abbaye fut placée initialement au Saint-Sauveur et suivait la règle de saint Benoît qui reçut la protection du pape. Elle fut autorisée à battre monnaie jusqu'en 1004. Elle fut dotée de biens considérables et reçut par la suite un grand nombre de privilèges. L'empereur Charles IV, en les confirmant en 1347, déclara l'abbaye exempte de toutes charges et contributions et accorda à l'abbesse Adélaïde de Géroldseck et à celles qui lui succédèrent, le titre de princesse de l'Empire. On ne connaît pas précisément l'époque précise de sa sécularisation ; on croit qu'elle eut lieu entre les . Outre la charte de l'empereur Charles IV, un grand nombre d'autres diplômes antérieurs et postérieurs ont été concédés à cette abbaye, soit pour confirmer les privilèges qu'elle avait déjà obtenus, soit pour lui en accorder de nouveaux. Les récipiendaires étaient obligés de faire preuve de seize quartiers de noblesse sans mésalliance, et les familles les plus illustres d'Alsace et d'Allemagne briguaient l'honneur d'y faire admettre leurs filles ; elles n'étaient assujetties à aucun vœu et pouvaient quand bon leur semblait, rentrer dans leurs familles et même se marier.

Cette abbaye reçut, presque dès son origine, une illustration qui n'a pas peu contribué à sa prospérité et à sa considération. On sait que l'empereur Charles le Gros, trop faible pour gouverner le vaste empire qu'il avait réuni sous son sceptre par la mort de ses deux frères, en laissa les soins à l'impératrice Richarde, son épouse ; elle avait pour conseiller Liutward, évêque de Verceil. Les courtisans, jaloux de l'autorité de l'évêque et de la confiance que lui accordait l'impératrice, méditaient depuis longtemps sa ruine et trouvèrent le moyen d'allumer dans le cœur du faible monarque une jalousie que la piété, les talents, les éminentes qualités de son épouse et vingt-cinq ans de mariage constamment heureux furent impuissants à écarter. Liutward fut chassé de la cour ; l'impératrice répudiée se retira dans le monastère d'Andlau. La légende de sainte Richarde porte qu'elle subit l'épreuve du feu, et que revêtue d'une chemise enduite de cire, à laquelle ont mis le feu en quatre endroits, elle ne fut point atteinte par les flammes qui s'éteignirent miraculeusement. Quoi qu'il en soit, ce fut dans cette abbaye que l'épouse de Charles-le-Gros finit ses jours dans la prière et les bonnes œuvres. Elle trouva aussi une source de consolations dans les lettres, qu'elle cultivait avec une grande distinction ; plusieurs belles poésies, qui sont parvenues jusqu'à nous, peignent sa résignation et la pureté de son âme. Elle mourut avant la fin du  et fut enterrée dans une chapelle latérale de l'église d'Andlau ; un siècle et demi plus tard, elle fut canonisée par le pape Léon IX, qui s'étant trouvé en Alsace, sa patrie, vint à Andlau bénir l'église nouvellement construite sous l'abbesse Mathilde, sœur de l'empereur Henri III.

La famille d'Andlau
On trouve les premières références à la maison d'Andlau au , ce qui fait de cette famille une des lignées les plus anciennes de France. La ligne d'Andlau fait partie des 0,5 % de la noblesse française dont les origines remontent au bas Moyen Âge ; elle est ainsi considérée comme noblesse d'épée - noblesse de race ou noblesse ancienne . Les nobles d'Andlau ont peut-être donné leur nom à la ville. Selon certaines sources, la famille d'Andlau serait arrivée en Alsace à l'époque romaine avec une autre famille, les Dandolo de Venise. Cette famille aurait fondé le château du Bas-d'Andlau. Une autre version attribue à un dénommé Balthasard d'Andolo natif de Bologne la création de la ville. Il aurait suivi Charlemagne qui se dirigeait vers le nord vers le . Il se serait alors fixé au val d'Eléon et pourrait donc être à l'origine de la fondation de la lignée de la famille noble des Andlau qui a donné le nom à Andlau. Balthasard et son fils auraient fondé un petit couvent dans la vallée, près de la rivière Andlau. Cette théorie irait donc à l'encontre de la version qui veut que ce soit sainte Richarde qui ait fondé l'abbaye. Une autre proposition parle d'un chevalier d'Andlau qui aurait aidé Richarde à trouver l'emplacement où l'ours grattait le sol. La famille des Andlau accédera au statut de chevaliers à partir du . Ils prendront le nom de la cité et feront ainsi des legs à l'abbaye. Mais on peut aussi prétendre que cette famille a pris le nom de la ville, qui par la suite lui a donné ses armoiries. Le premier personnage, Gunther d'Andalau, cité en 1141, devient abbé de Saint-Blaise. Les sires d'Andlau s'illustrent durant la bataille de Sempach, le , durant laquelle le comte d'Andlau perd quatre de ses fils. Elle est particulièrement affectée par la guerre de Trente Ans.

La famille d'Andlau est liée à de nombreux personnages de l'histoire de France, comme Claude-Adrien Helvétius, Jacques Necker, Germaine de Staël, Jean Le Marois, Hardouin-Gustave d'Andlau ou encore Albert de Mun.

Le village se forme autour de l'abbaye
Peu à peu, il se forma aux alentours de l'abbaye une petite ville que l'abbesse donna en fief, en 1364, à la famille noble d'Andlau, une des plus illustres de l'Alsace, dont l'histoire fait mention pour la première fois en 1141 : Ganthier d'Andlau fut abbé de Saint-Blaise. Neuf ans après, Othon, comte d'Andlau (Otto de Andelaha comes) paraît comme témoin dans un diplôme donné par l'empereur Conrad III en faveur de l'abbaye de Saint-Blaise. Cette famille a produit un grand nombre d'hommes distingués, et ce qui prouve la haute considération dont elle jouissait, c'est qu'en vertu d'un antique privilège, renouvelé par Charles Quint, en 1550, l'aîné portait le titre de chevalier héréditaire du Saint-Empire.

Andlau une ville de pèlerinage
Un pèlerinage fut dédié très tôt à la Vierge Marie dans la crypte de l'église où les chanoinesses se réunissaient chaque jour pour prier. Au  une tour — souvent confondue avec le château de Spesbourg —  est attestée appartenir aux nobles de Dicka. Entre le  quatre châteaux sont édifiés à Andlau. L'un de ces châteaux est celui du Wibelsberg-Crax dont il ne subsiste que quelques vestiges. Construit entre 1232 et 1249 il est démoli une première fois par Eberhard d'Andlau, puis reconstruit à partir de 1293. Il prend alors le nom de château de Crax, mais est définitivement démoli en 1298 sur ordre de l'évêque de Strasbourg. Les sires d'Andlau fortifient la ville au . En 1695 le garde forestier d'Andlau, Frantz Ettighoffen, tue l'un des derniers ours des Vosges. Au milieu du , Andlau compte encore dix-huit moulins. La commune est entourée de forêts et de vignes.

La chapelle Saint-André, son cimetière avec ses tombes remarquables

Anciennement chapelle du Saint-Sauveur, l'édifice primitif remonte à l'époque carolingienne. On peut encore voir, à travers une grille au ras du sol, les fondations romanes. Cette église est encore appelée chapelle du Cimetière par certains villageois. Cette église servait aussi aux habitants d'Eichhoffen qui ne disposaient pas d'église jusqu'en 1865. Entre 1777 et 1780, la chapelle Saint-André est agrandie pour répondre à la forte demande des communiants qui fréquentaient alors l'église. Les personnes décédées d'Eichhoffen étaient enterrées dans le cimetière à côté de l'église. Beaucoup d'anciennes tombes du cimetière ne sont donc pas ceux des habitants d'Andlau mais d'Eichhoffen. Après plusieurs années d'imbroglios entre Andlau et Eichhoffen, les catholiques de cette dernière cité feront construire leur propre église. La construction de cette chapelle est le fruit de plusieurs transformations. Le clocher de la chapelle est de forme octogonale. Dans le chœur médiéval, il existe encore des peintures murales qui datent du . Concernant le cimetière qui se trouve à côté de la chapelle, le commandeur Marx Cromer (Kremmer) fera élever à ses frais le mur qui entoure la chapelle, entre 1495 et 1537. La chapelle Saint-André doit beaucoup à de généreux donateurs. En 1896, grâce au docteur Stoltz, elle sera restaurée. À la fin du , des travaux de soutènement et de drainage seront entrepris pour éviter l'écroulement du mur qui donne sur la route. Au cours de la rénovation de 1974-1975, des lucarnes seront aménagées dans le beffroi puis enlevées. Pendant longtemps les processions s'arrêtaient devant la chapelle au même titre que les oratoires qui se trouvaient sur le parcours.

Fortifications
Jusqu'au , la ville en elle-même n'a pas de murs, mais contient deux sites fortifiés : la tour des Dicka, avoués de l'abbaye, et le château du Bas-Andlau, construit par les seigneurs d'Andlau entre 1334 et 1340 au sud de la ville. Ce dernier est intégré dans l'enceinte urbaine dont la construction commence en 1432. De construction assez sommaire, celle-ci comportait à l'origine six tours et trois tours-portes, mais la majeure partie en a été détruite au cours du . Outre une partie de l'enceinte, il subsiste aujourd'hui des fortifications une des portes du château, la tour carrée de l'angle nord-est, une tour en fer-à-cheval à l'est et la tour carrée de l'angle sud-est, dite Hexenturm, ou tour des Sorcières, qui a servi de prison au . Il ne reste aucune des trois tours-portes : la Spitaltor, ou Porte de l'Hôpital, au nord, a été abattue en 1820, la Haseltor, ou Porte des Noisetiers, au sud, a été démolie en 1856, l'Obertor, ou Porte Haute, au nord-ouest et qui avait conservée son pont-levis jusqu'à la fin du , a été détruite en 1865.

If you're like many small businesses right now, you're taking hiring slow and steady this spring. A fatigued economy means increasing hiring budgets and staffing seems a bit risky.
The latest small business jobs numbers reflect your hesitancy. Small business hiring numbers going into March show a minimal .20 percent gain on hiring. Experts suggest the reasons listed above have a lot to do with this.
So today's issue is this: As a small business, you were already recruiting on a shoestring budget — but as you're looking to expand, it's seems like a loftier and pricier goal than before. Right?
The thing is, if you're truly in need of some new talent at your biz, you need to harness your social media strategy to utilize low-cost techniques to recruit, source, and interview great employees (thus, saving you a chunk of change).
Let's take a look at how you can do this the right way.
This is a tricky but important number to consider-and the intricacies of this number won't change, regardless of the economy. So as a small business, let's get a grip on your costs.
How do you want to allocate your budget to make hires? This could include job board fees, recruitment agency fees, ATS software, training and benefits, or even travel.
If you're thinking of using one route — the job posting — and leaving it to fate to send you great resumes, this not only is unlikely to work, but it can still be expensive depending on your budget. One job posting alone on CareerBuilder costs $419, according to GetHired.com. If you have a few jobs open, this can add up fast.
But perhaps you've decided to use employee referrals or a recruitment agency, taking time and manpower used to sift through referrals and the agency fees are still going to add to your cost of hire.
So depending on your needs, social media offers many cost-effective opportunities to hire talent.
According to a Jobvite survey, 92 percent of U.S. companies hire through social media, so you won't be alone in your endeavour. Better yet, 73 percent of those companies made successful hires through social media.
1. Facebook. With 955 million users, Facebook is a melting pot of talent. Here you can create a company space, use the Social Jobs app to post job openings, showcase your awesome company culture, and share what your company is currently doing in your industry. If you want to screen candidates, this can be done via Facebook, too.
2. Twitter. Similar to the benefits of utilizing Facebook, on Twitter you can create your company space, send job openings through your Twitter feed, send targeted tweets using hashtags to #jobseekers, and generate conversation around your company. Plus, with resources like TweetMyJobs, it's really never been easier to recruit on Twitter.
3. LinkedIn. Our favorite job search tool, LinkedIn, can really give you industry-focused access to talent. Create your company page, post jobs, and participate in group discussions. With LinkedIn, you have access to 161 million professional profiles and resumes.
The best part about these tools is that there's a viral quality to your postings. If you create a solid network of followers and connections, they can share your content with qualified candidates in their own network. If needed, you can contact candidates directly through these sites, too.
Cost? Free to very low. Why? Because most of the suggestions I gave you are strategies you can use without buying ads or other business fees.
A recent study released by Harris Interactive and ESET reported that 81 percent of employees work using their personal mobile device. As we all know, there are many options for retrieving and sharing information on-the-go, including job postings.
Optimizing your careers website for the mobile Web. This means mobile users will view a different, more optimized site on their mobile device versus a computer. The content will be user-friendly, include less Flash and photos, and be viewable on multiple screen sizes. In short, your career content will be easily viewed on any device.
Additionally, if your company has a mobile app already, make sure the app has a careers link! As the saying goes, there's an app for that. So if the platform is already available, hit two birds with one stone and optimize some content for job seekers.
Cost? Low. The move to mobile web shouldn't be too expensive if your current site was created recently. There are also tools available to help you do it yourself. As for a mobile app, if you already have one, then the cost would be zero to add more content.
Although social media strategies can be extremely cost-effective, especially for small businesses, it shouldn't be the only tool in your toolbox. If you do require an ATS, choose a platform that is budget-friendly (they exist!) and includes everything you need in one platform — even social media connections. If your system isn't making it easier for you, then it's not worth the money.
