Why Norway
Cost and requirements
Learning Norwegian opened doors
"I have quite often recruiters who contact me for new positions"
Name: Antony Cornillon
Institution: Molde University College
Education: Logistics studies (one-year study)
Having a relevant degree and a professional network in Norway helped Antony Cornillon to get a foot inside the door.
Antony supplemented his master's degree in Strategic Procurement from the University of Grenoble with a year of Logistics studies at Molde University College. After finishing his master's degree, Antony started his career working in Technip Norway.
"At that time, it was quite easy to find an English-speaking job in the oil and gas industry, as there was an important need for qualified manpower". As he learned the Norwegian language, he got more and more career opportunities.
Took intensive classes
Most jobs require Norwegian language skills, but there are some job opportunities for English speakers. Most English-speaking jobs are in sectors where there's a high demand of skilled workers, or for example in multilateral companies. Antony's advice is to aim at specific industries to increase your chances of finding a job - and to learn Norwegian.
"Once I got my first job, I took intensive language classes to become fluent as soon as possible and to get access to a broader job market. I had a conversational level after about six months, and I continued taking classes once in a while to perfect my language".
By learning Norwegian, Antony was able to advance his career and he now works as a Strategic purchaser for Mills AS, a major Norwegian company.
"Being able to work in Norwegian has opened many doors and made my profile more interesting for recruiters. I have quite often recruiters who contact me for new positions".
A culture based on trust
The Norwegian work culture is more informal, and egalitarian compared to other countries. Although most workplaces in Norway have a hierarchical structure, all employees are encouraged to express their opinion. According to Antony, work relationships are based a lot on trust.
"In my experience, managers are not here to be "behind our back", but to help us and guide us in our daily work. As long as the work gets done, managers do not check when you arrive or leave from the office".
As an employee in Norway, you gain access to several benefits, including parental leave, sickness benefits, employment protection, as well as high salaries. Antony thinks that the work-life balance is more important in Norway than in most other countries.
"It is much more comfortable to have small kids in Norway, as you have more free time after work. Parental leave is also completely accepted by employers, even in a recruitment process. This is just part of life – managers do not experience this as a problem".
In Norway, parents share 49 weeks of paid parental leave between them with full pay (or 59 weeks with 80 percent of the salary). This is quite unique, and almost impossible outside of Scandinavia".

What is RIP Protocol in Networking? – RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a Distance Vector routing protocol.
What is RIP Protocol in Networking?
The RIP routing protocol is defined in RFC 1058. RIP sends the routing table from active interfaces in every 30 seconds. The RIP routing protocol uses Hop Count and the maximum Hop Count is 15. 16. hop is considered unreachable.
The RIP protocol works well on small networks. However, RIP is not recommended for very large networks.
You can purchase "CCNA Routing and Switching Complete Study Guide" from Amazon.
How Does RIP Routing Work?
When a router receives a routing table that changes, it first updates its routing table to notify other routers of this change.
If the router learns a new route from another router, it increments the number of route hop by 1 before adding this new route to the route table.
When the router updates its routing table, it uses Triggered Updates to forward this change to other routers.
The use of the RIP protocol in a small network is simple and easy. Since its easy to use and simple, we can refer to the most commonly used routing protocol.
After we talk a bit about the RIP routing protocol, let's talk about its disadvantages.
1. RIP allows up to 15 hops.
2. It regularly sends a copy of the entire routing table to neighboring routers that are directly connected.
3. The routing table increases network traffic.
4. On a large network, the integration of the network change is very slow.
There are 2 versions of the RIP protocol.
The RIP Version 1 version uses classful routing. In classified routing, all network devices must be on the same network. RIP version 1 does not send the subnet mask information in the routing table update.
RIP Version 2 uses classless routing. Subnet mask information is sent when the routing table is updated.
1. RIP1 does not send subnet mask information in route updates.
2. RIP2 sends subnet mask information to route updates.
What is RIP Protocol in Networking? – In this article, we have briefly mentioned RIP (Routing Information Protocol). Today, rather than RIP, the dynamic routing protocol are used. In our next article, we will talk about more advanced protocols.

The New Age of TikTok
From a music dubbing app to a content creators playground, TikTok has taken over the world. Harry Gardiner tracks its meteoric rise, and explores why your brand should be taking notice.
Unless you've been living under a rock, you'd have heard of TikTok by now. Some of you (myself included) might have even taken the plunge during lockdown and downloaded the app. The good news is, you're not alone.
Despite concerns on privacy, data sharing, and inappropriate content, TikTok continues to be the most downloaded non-gaming app worldwide, having held on to a Top 10 spot for over a year and a half.
Of course, a high volume of downloads means more users and more business opportunities.
According to an independent study from Neuro-Insight, brands on TikTok see higher levels of receptiveness to messaging, CTAs and breakthrough. TikTok's in-feed ads reportedly achieve 23% higher detail memory than television ads, while their 'TopView' ads outperformed TV by a whopping 40%.
Small businesses are also booming on the app. Related hashtags like #smallbusiness, #entrepeneur, and #smallbiz are all attracting billions of views.
With detailed insights and seamless link implantation, it seems as if TikTok is the perfect place for businesses to thrive. However, it's not as easy as simply uploading a video and watching the views roll in, there's a lot of planning needed to create successful content – especially when it comes to an audio-first platform like TikTok.
The Power of Sound
Rather than the soundtrack being something that you consider after the content is ready, with TikTok, the sound is more often than not the inspiration for the video. The app allows you to search through songs or sounds that are currently trending, see how others are using said sounds and gather inspiration for creation.
This is a gamechanger for advertisers. Whereas we've been previously told that on the likes of Facebook and Twitter, no one listens to ads with sound. A joint report from Kantar and TikTok revealed that 73% of users will "stop and look" at ads on TikTok with audio.
Unlike other apps, sound is considered 'fun, appealing and engaging' on TikTok with a massive 88% of users finding it essential to their experience on the app.
The sounds you use in your creatives and your sonic branding (the sound associated with your brand), should be at the forefront of your campaign planning. So next time you're struggling to find inspiration or are creating video content for mobile, why not take a browse through the trending sounds section of TikTok first?
Made to Create
TikTok truly try and make it as easy as possible to create content. The app has recently announced new partnerships with both Vimeo and Canva to provide even more ways for marketers to build better campaign creative in each respective app.
Soon you'll be able to create templates and drag and drop assets into your videos using either Vimeo's or Canva's creation tools.
As if that wasn't enough, the app regularly provides instructional videos, blogs and resources explaining how users (and businesses) can get the most out of his creative toolset.
They've also published the 'ultimate how-to guide', providing detailed creative solutions for brands. Some key learnings include:
Authenticity is key – As with all online activity, the brands that provide authentic, user-led experiences, are the brands that succeed
Big stories don't require big budgets – The joy of TikTok is that the app is built for gonzo, low fi style content. You don't need a studio and film crew in order to create binge-worthy content
Always-on & always intentional – the key to winning at TikTok? Continuously share fresh and diverse content. The app recommends posting a whopping four times per day to test how different types of content are received
Getting started on TikTok
So you've heard a sound you enjoy, have a creative idea in mind and you're ready to start a Tiktok account. It's as easy as that right? Wrong.
Before you create an account and get posting, there are a few key strategy points you need to consider.
Who – Who is it you're creating content for? 60% of UK TikTok users are Gen Z, meaning you might not even be talking to the right people even if you creating great content.
What – Are you able to create up to four vertical videos per day? Do you know (and understand) what the latest trends are on the app? You'll need a video-first strategy locked down before you even start to build an account.
Where – Have you thought about how you'll repurpose the content? A short-form, vertical, video-led content plan means you'll have assets that are ideal for other platforms such as Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
Why – Nothing successful has ever come from doing something 'just because everyone else is'. TikTok is an incredibly exciting platform, but you'll need to consider all of the above in order to build a winning profile.
How – Inspired to jump on the app and start creating content? Give us a call. Our social team are TikTok trained and ready to create high performing videos for your brand.

Q: Есть скрипт, который необходимо сделать так, чтоб числа не обновлялись при перезагрузке странице,а навсегда оставались теми,которые были сгенерированы Сайт находится на движке вордпресс, возможно можно решить как то через кеширование, но тогда ж при очистке кеша числа обновятся, но это уже хоть какой то выход. Может можно как то сохранять на сервер посредством php? Там суть такая, есть страничка на вордпресе и блок с скриптом где постоянно обновляются числа при перезагрузке страницы, а надо чтоб сгенерило навсегда.

Casual numbers no repeat

A: Как насчёт использования local Storage?
Я не знаю лучшего способа реализовать это используя JS, всеравно весь кеш будь он на php или js легко почистить, я думаю можно реализовать на php привязку к айпи, но это уже куда сложнее и необходима база данных и в целом это будет неэффективно

Committed to the sustainable and smart mobility revolution
Posted: 10 April 2017 | Alain Vidalies, Minister of State for Transport, Marine Affairs and Fisheries for France | No comments yet
Across the transport industry, the need for technologically innovate modes of transport and a sustainable infrastructure that benefits not only its passengers, but the environment too, has long been clear. In this article for Intelligent Transport, Alain Vidalies, Minister of State for Transport, Marine Affairs and Fisheries for France, explains how the country is ready and eager to meet this ideal, and is already taking steps to achieve it.
Mobility is at the core of everyday life, connecting people and markets, and creating bonds between countries or cultures and so plays a key role in fast-changing environmental issues. As the transport sector accounts for approximately 23% of the total man-made CO2 emissions, there is a strong and urgent need to invent and implement new solutions that enable the development of a sustainable transportation system that still fulfills growing mobility needs.
Many projects are already underway in France that focus on smart transportation devices, autonomous and electric vehicles, and our country has now become Europe's largest market for electric vehicles. The government has deployed strong incentives to encourage the purchase of electric or hybrid vehicles, with fiscal incentives offered to companies developing such fleets. Our ambition is clear: we want 15% of vehicle travel to be made by 100% green or renewable energy engines by 2030. France has just reached the milestone of 100,000 100% electric cars on the market, and the market trend continues to be positive. Strong measures have also been taken to develop the recharging infrastructure for those vehicles. Several main French cities have also implemented electric vehicle sharing services, such as 'Autolib' in Paris, 'Sunmoove' in Lyon and 'Bluecub' in Bordeaux, which I consider to be an excellent way to promote these new vehicles and integrate them into the urban landscape.
France also wants to play a leading role in advancing the development of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). I'm proud to have hosted the World Congress on ITS held in Bordeaux in October 2015, where many countries from all over the world signed a manifesto that championed these innovative solutions and acknowledging its benefits for sustainable mobility. Through this statement we highlighted how ITS can improve air pollution in our cities by strengthening the networks, encouraging eco-driving and the shift towards more collective public transport and lower-carbon modes. ITS can also be used as an efficient way to reduce congestion and increase safety. Through these new mobility services, we can also generate important volumes of data that can help to improve statistics and predict trends. At last, ITS can provide users with personalised solutions that enable them to become partners in new intelligent mobility policies based on high privacy and reliable services.
ITS also represents a fast growing sector that covers a wide range of skills and knowledge (technology, management, finance, planning, R&D, sociology, economics, law) and provides an innovative motor for our economies that helps to drive competitiveness in global markets. It is a strong asset, which demonstrates the need to fully commit to such a change. ITS in France already represents €4.5 billion – around 45,000 jobs – in more than a thousand companies.
Recent years have witnessed some crucial developments in autonomous vehicles in our country. In August 2016 the council of ministers adopted an amendment allowing experiments of autonomous vehicles on the open road. It represents a huge step toward the mobility of tomorrow, for regulated and secure traffic, and transport that is both more efficient and more environmentally-friendly. It also aims to see the French automotive industry and road transport as one of the pioneers in the design of autonomous vehicles for all.
Paris has also proved its strong commitment to this innovation. January 2017 saw the start of its first experiment using driverless buses on a bridge connecting two major railway stations, using a combination of lasers and cameras to detect other objects and people around them. This test will last three months, and is considered as the first stage of Paris' self-driving revolution.
Such change also relies on international cooperation in order to develop and implement an efficient smart mobility system. For this reason France and Germany have just joined together to test selfdriving vehicles on a section of road that links the two countries, in order to test the travelling experience in real cross-border traffic. Professionals there will be able to test their technologies in real situations, for example mitigating speed limit changes at the border. This route will stretch around 70km from Merzig to Metz. The decision to launch such an experiment marks a key moment in the cooperation between our country and Germany on this subject.
These few cases reflect France's desire for a sustainable transportation system based on innovation. There is a growing need for consistent and simple solutions for citizens. Improving the quality of transportation is deeply linked to the development of smart mobility solutions. I strongly believe that mobility and environment must develop together in order to establish a strong, sustainable transportation system that benefits everyone. It needs the full support of all key players and users to enable it to become the new face of our everyday mobility. France is ready!
Alain Vidalies has been Minister of State for Transport, Marine Affairs and Fisheries for France since August 2014, attached to the Minister of the Environment, Energy and Marine Affairs. From May 2012 to April 2014 he served as Minister of State for Relations with Parliament, attached to the Prime Minister. Since 1988 he has also been a member of the National Assembly, representing the Landes department.

Hyphen Consultancy – Perspective that matters.
Premier Oil has engaged Hyphen Consultancy several times over the last three years for Partners' audit of Operator records and the results we have gotten have always been very positive. Faheem has a take-charge attitude and subtle-yet-confident approach that resulted in him being immediately received appreciation from all quarters in Oil & Gas exploration and production industry. Hyphen has added value not only for us but for the Operator as well. Hyphen is dedicated to their clients, deliver reports within agreed timelines and even supported clients till the close out of all the findings.
We collaborated with Hyphen consultancy in 2014 and outsourced internal controls design assessment including process review, preparation of test plans and conducting walkthrough. During the three months' assignment, hyphen consultancy resources were deputed at our office who were good in collaborating the activities within the organization and concluded the activity within project timelines. Hyphen consultancy management were also available for guiding their resource when required and were supportive in understanding our requirements and concerns.
It's been sometime working along with Hyphen Consultancy seeking their support in SOCPA IFRS Transition, Audit & Risk Consultancy and developing Resource & Audit Management solutions. Throughout this association (and continuing), Faheem Piracha (the CEO of Hyphen) and his staff have displayed great understanding, good knowledge of applicable Standards, disciplined work approach, and willingness to learn. Our recent experience working alongwith their Audit resources have been amazing. Due to reasons, we preferred them over the Big-4 firms with words of caution. However, their contribution in the successful revamping of Internal Audit function in our Group was as good as we could have expected from the Big-4 firms. Once again, their understanding, knowledge and disciplined work approach helped us to achieve this milestone. I wish Faheem and his colleagues at Hyphen all the success in the coming days, and hope that Hyphen would be viewed as a success story for young entrepreneurs in Audit, Risk & Business Advisory Services.
We exist to create better working lives.
We are pleased to launch our Internal Audit Software "abilite.

What a busy busy weekend we have had!!! Ok, really it's been a busy summer. I have been planning, painting & pasting for months in preparation of celebrating Briella's 1st Birthday.
We chose to celebrate her birthday 26 days early. Her actual birthday, October 4th is during RSV season which we will be in isolation for until next summer. We wanted to have all of Briella's family here to celebrate with us the accomplishment of this 1 pound baby turning 1. For some of the family it would be the first chance to meet her!
We started the day with a Re-dedication at church. Briella was baptized hours after her birth in the hospital. My Pastor came to do the baptism in her isolete because we were afraid of what could happen.
So yesterday was a joyous day. The family gathered and Pastor Rich made it a very special service for our family. He showed the picture of her on her original baptism day, just barely bigger than my hand. Now, I hold her and she is huge!! A whopping 17lbs!!!
Immediately following the service we had a party at my parents home for Briella. Since this was mostly an adult party to keep Briella healthy, I searched for games that we could involve the adults in. I had all of the guests make guesses as to what Briella would be when she grows up.
I placed 4 objects in front of Brie to see which one she would be drawn to-that object would represent what she would be when she grows up. It's actually a Korean tradition but I LOVE the idea. So I placed a stethoscope-which represents a doctor (I say she should become a Neonatologist to save other small babies), Paper Money to represent Wealth, a Microphone, which represents an Entertainer, and a Soccer Ball which represents an athlete. What do you think she picked?!?!
Before I tell you, let me tell you that I put all these items on the floor, just out of her reach in hopes she would roll to the item she wanted. Well, in front of everyone, she starts to crawl towards the items!!! How cool her 1st time crawling was in front of everyone & being photographed?!
Okay okay. So after the initial lunge for the Soccer Ball, a quick turn to the microphone and a two hand grab, she pulls it to her and tries to eat it. So an entertainer she shall be. Although I think she can be all the above. Especially a soccer player as this girl can kick! A second round she went for the money an was playing in it. And then in her high chair she played with the stethoscope, so we will have to wait and see. Wherever her journey takes her, it will be great. Full of lessons for us along the way.
After the great career debate, we put her in her high chair and let her eat cake. Well, like a proper micropreemie, she oh so delicately touched the icing, barely getting any on her and licked her fingers. Daddy and I had to put her hands in the cake to get it started. I think she would have been happier just having us give her a bite. I hope this is not the start of the famous sensory issues that micropreemies are known for. We haven't seen any other symptoms before.
After cake and lots of pictures, she opened presents! She did so good tearing into tissue paper. She ate almost every envelope.
It was such an amazing day full of pure love. Just simple joy that my 23 week baby has still not come out of her "Honeymoon" stage the doctors waned us of after birth. If you remember, they told us over & over after the honeymoon stage, the 1st 48 hrs, she would take a turn for the worst. Then they said it sometimes lasts a week. Well thank GOD that we are still in that Honeymoon stage!!!!
Tomorrow is Brian & I's 2nd anniversary. Last year on our 1st, we decided to share on this blog the name of our unborn child. What a year. On top of being thankful for my daughter's life & health, I am thankful for all of the people I have met on this journey. This is such an unexpected great community of people......other preemie parents, nurses that have turned to friends, doctors that are our heros, other kids that are inspiration and lots and lots of hope.


Description: Epic Battle - Fantasy 4 is a huge turn-based RPG adventure!
Instructions: Battle over 120 types of monsters, collect over 140 types of equipment and use over 130 different skills and spells. Everything is controlled with the mouse, but you can also move around using the keyboard, customize your controls the way you like.
Lots to find and do.


Ed Martinez, a member of the Kansas Ornithological Society since 1970, provided a tremendous amount of data on shorebirds at Cheyenne Bottoms from 1967 to 1994, all as a volunteer. During that period, he banded over 82,000 shorebirds and conducted nearly 400 shorebird surveys.
According to Brian Harrington, shorebird scientist with Manomet Center for Conservation Sciences, no individual has banded as many shorebirds in the U.S. and conducted more shorebird surveys for the International Shorebird Surveys than Ed.

The people at Superdrug have offered to send me a selection of bits from GOSH as a thank you for publicising this post (which I was happy to do regardless of any incentive as I think it's good to see brands working with bloggers in a way that shows they have thought about the process and designed things specifically to suit our approach and interests) but thought in the interest of honesty and disclosure I thought I should mention this. When these bits arrive I will be using them for review purposes.


N Brown's margins may slip further as the home shopping group deploys promotions to drive sales, analysts believe.
The retailer, best known for its plus-size brands which include Simply Be and Jacamo, posted turnover up 5.1% in the 18 weeks to July 2 and like-for-likes up 1.6%, "slightly ahead" of the rate reported at its preliminary results in May.
However, the home shopping group's gross margin declined 0.2% as it staged promotions to drive sales.
N Brown had previously advised that full-year margins would be down 50 basis points, but Oriel analyst Jonathan Pritchard believes there is a risk of further margin decline.
The retailer said that its menswear and footwear categories were growing strongly but its womenswear remained slightly down as inflation had subdued demand. It said unique products at higher price points had performed well.
N Brown's international sales for its Simply Be brand in the US and Germany are "rising in line with expectations". Online sales advanced to account for 47% of overall sales, up from 41% last year.
The retailer has signed for two sites in Liverpool and Bury for its physical store trial for Simply Be. The shops are expected to open by early October.
