Global Skills for an International Career
As an international careers adviser, I receive questions daily from people of varied backgrounds who hope to try their luck in the global marketplace. Many job seekers mistakenly believe that they can't begin an international career until their feet are on foreign soil. They overlook their own backyard for resources and training opportunities.
The Most Sought-After Skills
What do international employers really look for in employees and what skills will be needed by professionals to perform successfully in the global marketplace?
A study commissioned by the College Placement Council Foundation surveyed 32 international employers and colleges to determine what international employers seek in prospective employees. They identified the following areas of required knowledge and skills:
Domain knowledge
Colleges in the U.S. are presently preparing their graduates well in domain knowledge, or knowledge in one's academic discipline, although employers expressed concern that increasingly greater demands and higher standards may soon result in inadequately prepared graduates.
The three most important skills were cognitive skills, social skills, and "personal traits." Problem-solving ability, decision making, and knowing how to learn are highly prized generic skills. Social skills were described as the ability to work effectively in group settings, particularly with diverse populations. Personal traits mentioned frequently included flexibility, adaptability, and the capacity to be innovative. Employers often mentioned that colleges do not adequately address this type of skill development.
Cross-cultural competence
Students must make a concerted effort to acquire the knowledge, skills, and traits gained through cross-cultural interaction because we are more geographically and linguistically insulated than most other countries.
On-the-job training and prior work experience. Employers seek applicants who have been successful in applying their domain knowledge or academic studies and generic skills in the workplace. They say that colleges do not place sufficient emphasis on work experience.

Chinese managers are better than Western counterparts
Western managers are falling behind their Chinese counterparts in education and training, research has warned.
China has the fastest growing global economy and - according to a study by the Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM) - also boasts a highly ambitious, sophisticated and commercially astute management population that poses a challenge to managers and businesses in the West.
The Global Management Challenge, which surveyed 327 managers in the UK, US, France and China, reveals that Chinese managers are underestimated by their Western counterparts and are launching a serious challenge to established Western business and management practices.

Cross-cultural competence (3C), another term for inter-cultural competence, has generated its own share of contradictory and confusing definitions, due to the wide variety of academic approaches and professional fields attempting to achieve it for their own ends. One author identified no fewer than eleven different terms with some equivalence to 3C: cultural savvy, astuteness, appreciation, literacy or fluency, adaptability, terrain, expertise, competency, awareness, intelligence, and understanding (Selmeski, 2007).
Organizations from fields as diverse as business, health care, government security and developmental aid agencies, academia, and non-governmental organizations have all sought to leverage 3C in one guise or another, often with poor results due to a lack of rigorous study of the phenomenon and reliance on "common sense" approaches based on the culture developing the 3C models in the first place (Selmeski, 2007).
The U.S. Army Research Institute, which is currently engaged in a study of the phenomenon, defines 3C as: "A set of cognitive, behavioral, and affective/motivational components that enable individuals to adapt effectively in intercultural environments" (Abbe et al., 2007). Cross-cultural competence does not operate in a vacuum, however. One theoretical construct posits that 3C, language proficiency, and regional knowledge are distinct skills that are inextricably linked, but to varying degrees depending on the context in which they are employed. In educational settings, Bloom's affective and cognitive taxonomies (Bloom, 1956; Krathwohl, Bloom, & Masia, 1973) serve as an effective framework to describe the overlap area between the three disciplines: at the receiving and knowledge levels 3C can operate with near independence from language proficiency or regional knowledge, but as one approaches the internalizing and evaluation levels the required overlap area approaches totality.

Zurich top city for expats
European cities offer the best quality of life for expatriate staff, according to a study of more than 200 locations.
The survey by Mercer, the international consultants, ranked the cities on the basis of personal safety, health and education facilities, transport, other public services, and social, economic, environmental and political factors.
The most attractive location for expatriate businesspeople was Zurich. The Swiss commercial centre, home of UBS, Swiss Re and Zurich financial services, scored 108 points under a ranking system that uses New York on 100 points as a base.
The US business centre, by comparison, was in 49th place, behind other US cities: Honolulu (28th), San Francisco (29th), Boston (37th) and Chicago and Washington?DC (equal 44th).Read more> Mercer

Medical staff require training on intercultural awareness
Medical staff require professional interpreters and specific training on intercultural awareness, a new study published in the open access journal BMC Health Services Research suggests. The authors reveal that doctors are dissatisfied with the treatment they provide to their non-native patients, and that they cite cultural differences and language barriers as the key factors causing the disappointment with the level of care that they provide.
Birgit Babitsch from the Berlin Institute of Gender in Medicine in Germany, and co-workers from Berlin and the UK, gathered the results of questionnaires completed by doctors working in the internal medicine and gynaecology departments of three Berlin hospitals. The responses were then narrowed down to those relating to native Germans and those of Turkish origin and analysed in conjunction with the patients' medical records. Over 2400 doctor questionnaires and corresponding patient records were finally analyzed.
The researchers found that doctors' dissatisfaction with the patient-doctor relationship was much greater with regard to their Turkish patients. The two main reasons given were communication difficulties and the doctors' perceptions that the Turkish patients did not always require urgent treatment. Around 20% of doctors were dissatisfied with the course of treatment for Turkish patients, compared to 10% for German patients. Minor differences were found in doctors' satisfaction with regard to the patient's gender.
Dr Babitsch states: "The use of professional interpreters for improved communication and the training of medical staff for improved intercultural competence are essential for the provision of adequate health care in a multicultural setting."

Charity calls for business leaders to take up diversity challenge
A charity that campaigns to provide a "secure base for Britain's minority ethnic communities" has called for effective leadership to promote diversity, after a poll revealed that almost nine in 10 recent graduates have experienced some kind of discrimination at work.
The Ethnic Minority Foundation, called for leaders to be held accountable for discrimination which, it says is "ruining the life chances of young people".
It follows a survey of 200 graduates by recruitment site Milkround.com which found that 86% of had faced discrimination while working.
Race discrimination affected two in five respondents, with age discrimination affecting 14% and gender 12%. Other reasons for unfair treatment included sexual orientation and height.
One respondent said: "People like me coming from a different country or continent to study and then try to get a work placement here are very vulnerable, particularly if they are unfortunate enough to have employers or managers as ignorant as the one I [worked for]."

Migrants' safety getting lost in translation
Many employers are risking migrant workers' wellbeing by not providing adequate health and safety training warned the Institute of Occupational Health and safety (IOSH).
It said many non-English speaking migrant workers are especially at risk as H&S training is usually delivered in English. IOSH recently conducted a pilot study into how H&S training is delivered to migrant workers in the food processing sector.
Half of the 26 companies polled admitted their H&S training did not address how non-English speaking workers were informed, instructed or trained in H&S issues and practices.
"The evidence from the food and drink sector is that too many employers are taking risks with their migrant workers by not offering proper training in H&S issues," said IOSH policy and technical director Richard Jones."Within this sector only 42% of employers provide English lessons to staff."

"Cultural pinpointing" and the multicultural consumer
The power of ethnic audiences is apparent in everyday life. But inherent risks exist when messaging previously meant for a minority group becomes part of the mainstream.
In its fourth year, the just-released Yankelovich Monitor Multicultural Marketing Study points to the impact of the "commercialization of culture," or repeated use of certain cultural elements to reach broader audiences. In 2004, 37 percent of non-Hispanic whites thought Hispanics were influencing everyone's lifestyle; today, it's 44 percent.
The result may mean less authentic messaging for Hispanics and African Americans, the study reports, if the same marketing strategies are used to reach ethnic consumers. "We're calling it cultural pinpointing. It's about understanding that today there's a lot of borrowing going on from the ethnic marketplace," said Sonya Suarez-Hammond, vice president of multicultural insights for Yankelovich in Chapel Hill, N.C.

Trend to shorter-term international relocation assignments
According to a new survey from Cartus, the premier provider of global mobility management and workforce development solutions, an accelerated shift from long-term to short-term international relocation assignments is expected during the next two years.
The Cartus Emerging Trends in Global Mobility: Policies & Practices Survey also revealed that international assignment volume has grown and is expected to increase in the future. The study also found that the number of assignment destinations is surging. Respondents named 51 different countries in their list of top three destination locations, a 76 percent increase over 2004. The United States continued as the most common destination for relocation assignments, but China overtook the UK for second place while Germany replaced Singapore for fourth place. China is expected to take over the top spot within the next two years, according to the survey.

Voice file size (on Ondio) matters?
After using version 2.5 for some time I've tried the daily builds. Everything's working fine accept that the voice files I've chosen first didn't give a beep.
I've tried most of the other files and it seems to me that only the three smallest of them are working (tough all of them are very fast playing).
Is this a known voice file size problem? Or is my Ondio SP defect?
Re: Voice file size (on Ondio) matters?
The voice file must fit in the audio buffer, this buffer uses all the otherwise unused memory and I think it's about 1.2 megs on archoses, it also depends a little on settings like max files in dir and max entries in playlist, try to keep these as low as possible.
To see the available buffer, go to System -> Rockbox Info from the main menu.
It varies a lot and it's not a hard limit - on your OndioSP it should be more than this. My backlight modded OndioFM has about 1.3 MB of available buffer even though the FM and backlight related code adds a lot to the firmware size - compared to the SP.
it also depends a little on settings like max files in dir and max entries in playlist, try to keep these as low as possible.
Yes, you can influence it a bit with settings. Other than the already mentioned ones, there are for example the scrobbler log (which doesn't even work correctly) and cuesheet support that take away a lot of available buffer size too, in case you activate(d) them.
*) This is not true when you run rockbox from ROM (if you use the so called rombox) - the OndioSP is one of two targets where this is still possible with the recent versions. (Excuse me if I'm wrong in assuming that you don't).
Thank you guys for your answers and advices.
The rombox option seems to be very promising. Sounds to me that it could free some 100k of the buffer. I have to take a closer look at this.
I didn't activate the 'scrobbler log' nor the 'cuesheet support' so there's no buffer saving potential available but thanks for the cue.
This 'backlight mod' for the ondio you've mentioned sounds very interesting to me. I have to search if it's documented somewhere.
But it's hard to find the necessary parts and you need good soldering skills. I also saw posts in the "Archived Threads" forum of someone who had done a slightly different mod with the backlight not driven by Rockbox - as with the described mod in the wiki. He only switches it on and off by hand, hence no influence on bin size.
Hopefully soon there will be target specific voice files which means they will be smaller for e.g. the Ondio again because they won't include all the talk clips that aren't needed there - like RGB settings etc. etc. At the moment the voice files are this large because they contain everything.

A 5-minute drive southwest from downtown Austin, the small, active and tightly-knit Rollingwood neighborhood oozes small-town comfort and warmth despite being bordered by the bustling Bee Cave Lane. The suburb is mostly residential, meaning that the restaurants and business in the area are predominately local establishments. Best of all, it's only short walk to Zilker Park! The area is charming as it is prestigious – with sharp landscaping and 1950's-style homes. However, most of the houses have been extensively renovated on the inside to have luxury modern conveniences. Rollingwood really makes use of it's 0.7 square mile radius. With downtown Austin only a short drive away, the residents can get all of the "big city benefits" while still retaining small-town appeal.
Let me tell you about Villarina's. You may want to be sitting down. It's a take n' bake joint over on Bee Caves Rd, and I'm officially a fan.

Online marketing is something that dictates the success of an online business. Moreover, website design does the exact same thing. It's for these reasons that anyone that is involved in an online business should do everything possible to ensure that these things are taken care of properly. Thus, here's everything you need to know about both online marketing and web design.
Web design plays a huge role in how an online business is perceived. It is no wonder that many of the top online businesses spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in tweaking their website for the best results. Of course, this doesn't mean that a small online business needs to spend all of their money on web design. However, it does mean that any business that wants to make money through the internet needs to ensure that web design is solid.
The best way to improve web design is to monitor a website to see where needs improvement. This includes such things as monitoring the bounce rate of certain pages. A high bounce rate is usually an indicator that anyone who has visited the page does not like it and has bounced to another page very quickly. This is a very bad sign and shows that there are probably very large problems in regards to the design and presentation of the site.
Thus, for those who are running online businesses that realise that they have huge problems with their website's design, should look towards professional services. There are many web design consultants available that will be able to provide in-depth advice in regards to how to improve such metrics as bounce rate. Furthermore, there are many web designers that will be able to implement the advice given by consultants so that a website can be transformed for the better. It is important that anyone serious about improving their website. look towards experienced professionals and not advice from amateurs.
Online marketing (aka SEO) is the process of advertising and creating a brand for a particular online business. It is perhaps one of the most fundamental aspects of doing business on the internet. Without proper online marketing strategies, even great businesses will fail. Thus, anyone who wishes to ensure that they are able to stand the test of time on the internet should put most of their efforts into online marketing strategies.
When it comes to services available for those involved with online businesses, online marketing is the most popular. This is for good reason, because as mentioned above, without it no business will be able to prosper. Today, there are many great marketers that are able to provide businesses with comprehensive solutions to their marketing woes. This includes such things as detailed analysis of what's wrong with their current strategy and the creation of a new and effective tactic.
The professionals involved in the world of online marketing often have many years of experience under their belt. Often times, these people have seen the great changes to the internet in the past few years, and are able to understand the importance of flexibility in the world of online business. They will be able to provide their clients with the perfect advice to ensure that their business will be able to withstand the ever-changing environment of the internet.
Web design and online marketing play a huge role in how the internet works. If it weren't for these two important functions, many businesses wouldn't be able to survive on the internet. Thus, those interested in creating an online business should do whatever is necessary to use the best web design and online marketing strategies possible.


I really enjoy my garden by day, but at night it can feel just a little bit spooky. Thankfully Hillarys have come up with an ingenious solution. Day and Night TransitionTM Pleated blinds cleverly combine two fabrics; one for daytime that allows the light to flood in and one for the evening that gives you complete privacy.
Our revolutionary EnlightTM Roller blind works in a similar way. These Roller blinds cunningly combine both sheer and privacy fabrics, which move effortlessly from transparency to shade. Open up the sheer fabric panels and your conservatory fills with light. Close them and your conservatory becomes comfortably cosy.
Heating a conservatory can be costly, but fit a ThermaShadeTM Pleated blind and you can stay warm for less. That's because ThermaShadeTM Pleated blinds have an innovative honeycomb cell which traps heat, improving the insulating properties of your windows and maintaining a comfortable temperature.
A Roman blind offers you lots of stunning design options and sumptuous soft fabrics, which alone can make your conservatory feel more welcoming and homely. But upgrade to a thermal lining and your Roman blind will not only reward you with its good looks but you'll also feel a whole lot toastier.
We all know how important it is to insulate our loft space to retain heat. The same principles apply to your conservatory. Our high performance SolarPleatTM fabrics have a special coating that prevents light being absorbed in summer, while providing an insulating layer in winter.
Warm lighting can really enhance the ambience in a room. For a crisp, dramatic and sophisticated backdrop, choose a black Roller blind to create an irresistibly inviting atmosphere that you'll be drawn to any time of the day.
Why let a little thing like bad weather come between you and the outdoors? Our made-to-measure awnings come with a host of optional features, including integrated lighting, radiant heaters and wind sensors, to make sure your awning provides a fabulous outdoor space all year-round.

Mother Hen thinks this is priceless!
Puts her in mind of the time her dear friend Jodi Edwards Wright took her little boy to the ER and chatted with him about other boo-boos he had had. A nurse perked up and asked, "Oh, is he an accident-prone child?" with the kind of inflection that meant trouble. She talked herself out of that one, thank goodness!
The only other thing that you might have done is told her to say that she got it when she and her brother were playing or wrestling, in Mother's oh so humble opinion, but 20/20 hindsight is a wonderful thing!
Mother Hen, I'm married to an ER doc and am well-versed in those kind of chats. Hee hee.
Jody this so funny! At our house the roughhousing was between all the boys and I could always hear the point at which it turned bad and someone would be crying. One time I yelled to the back room enough, someone is about to get hurt and at that second Cody came running to the living room blood dripping from his mouth with Cameron following crying harder than the injured party screaming is he ok??
Oh, Laura, I can just see that happening! It's so funny and adorable. Kids crack me up so bad.

Rhodes statue led Welz to success
30 May 2010 Archived
Auctioneer Stephan Welz, the head of art auctioneers Strauss & Co, owes his success largely to a visit to Cape Town, where it seemed as if the statue of Cecil John Rhodes in The Gardens, next to the National Gallery, had a message for him:
Welz, who this week set a record sale for an art piece when he sold an Irma Stern painting for R7.57-million,said: "Rhodes was a very important man in his day, and as his statue faces north I took his advice, and did just that."
He couldn't have been given better advice, for when he came north, he found doors being opened for him.
He didn't just climb the ladder, he galloped up it. He is the third of five sons of artists Jean and Inger Welz, who owned an art and antique gallery in Worcester in the Cape. He has a BCom degree from Unisa, where he also worked in administrative posts, assisting artist Walter Battiss in the Department of Fine Arts.
After he left Unisa in 1970, he says: "I was lucky enough to be employed by Sotheby's shortly after they started in South Africa. Reinhold Cassirer (Nadine Gordimer's husband) headed it at the time. He was very good to me, and he opened many doors." Welz was appointed to the board of Sotheby's Parke Bernet SA in 1974. He became its executive director in 1975, its managing director in 1980, and he was appointed to the directorate of Sotheby's International in the same year. In 1983, he became a director of Sotheby's London, and he worked in Amsterdam.
Local management bought out Sotheby's auctioneering interests in 1987 and renamed the company Stephan Welz & Co. Welz sold that business at the end of 2006, and recently joined Strauss & Co.
Welz (who ''is edging 70") has been in the auctioneering business for 35 years. He conducted his first auction in 1975 for Sotheby's London, where he was also trained to be an auctioneer. He is passing on his knowledge to two would-be auctioneers. He is regarded as one of South Africa's most knowledgeable art experts and auctioneers, but he has also conducted house sales, as well as game sales for Anglo American Corporation.
He had a television slot on Saturday mornings, which was aimed at those who wanted to learn more about art, antiques and fine furniture. Currently, he does informative video clips on Strauss & Co's website.
The most amusing incident he can recall happened at a game sale for Anglo, when a hedgehog that came under the hammer "escaped, and caused consternation, spoiling that sale". The lowest price he ever got was R5 at a house sale for staff clothing, which apparently was worth considerably more. To illustrate how people can and do make money when they sell what they bought on auction, he recalls selling an Irma Stern painting for R5800 in 1976, and selling it again last year for R5.6-million. Those two prices, obtained for the same work of art, illustrate he is right when he says: "South Africa's perception of art improved considerably after November 1999, when the R1-million barrier was breached for an Irma Stern still life.
''We turned over slightly more than R40-million last night (May 24), which proves there's still life in the art market in these depressing times," says Welz, who is upbeat about auctioneering and its future. He believes it is more professional, its presentations are much better "and, very importantly, the perception of auctioneering has improved considerably".

Rajya Sabha TV In Depth – Ice on Moon
Category:	RAJYA SABHA VIDEOS
India's first lunar probe Chandrayaan 1, launched by Indian Space Research Organisation in October 2008, among its many achievements, discovered the presence of water molecules in the lunar soil. The Chandrayaan 2 mission to be launched in January 2019 is going for deeper exploration in the same region – the south pole of the moon. This mission will use and test various new technologies and conduct new experiments.
Diagram of Chandrayaan 1 Spacecraft
Chandrayaan 1 spacecraft was launched by ISRO on 22 October 2008 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre using a PSLV rocket and operated until August 2009.
Satish Dhawan Space Centre is a rocket launch centre operated by ISRO located about 80 km north of Chennai and borders lake Pulicat (second largest water lagoon in India, after Chilika Lake). Till April 2008, it has done 65 launches (52 successful launches, 5 partial successes and 9 failed launches) by SLV (Satellite Launch Vehicle), ASLV (Augmented Satellite Launch Vehicle), PSLV (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle), GSLV (Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle) and GSLV Mk III.
A launch system carries a payload from Earth's surface through outer space. It may be a suborbital (which includes ballistic missiles and research rockets), orbital, translunar or interplanetary spaceflight. This requires various rocket fuels.
By Chandrayaan 1 India researched and developed its own technology for moon exploration.
Main objectives of the mission:
i) Detect presence of water,
ii) Click high resolution images of surface,
iii) Create a 3D atlas and
iv) Perform chemical and mineralogical mapping of the entire lunar surface.
95 % of its planned objectives were achieved.
The mission included a lunar orbiter and an impactor. An orbiter is a space probe that orbits a planet (Examples – Space Shuttle, Soyuz, Galileo, Mangalyaan, etc.). A lander is a spacecraft that descends towards and comes to rest on the surface of an astronomical body (Examples- Luna, Phoenix, etc.).
The spacecraft orbit around moon at a height of 100kms from the lunar surface.
The presence of solid ice on moon in its polar regions was confirmed by Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3). The instrument, an imaging spectrometer, was contributed by NASA.
Its X-ray spectrometer detected Titanium, Calcium, Magnesium, Aluminum and Iron on the lunar surface.
This discovery of ice makes moon a potentially habitable destination.
Scientists are exploring the possibility of melting this ice into water and further splitting the water molecule into Hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) for rocket fuel. Oxygen can also be used for breathing by astronauts.
INDIA'S MISSION MOON
1999: Idea first mooted at Science Academy meet.
2000: Follow up proposal by Astronautical Society of India.
ISRO forms a National Lunar Mission Task Force.
2003: Government approves proposal of Chandrayaan 1.
October 22, 2008: Chandrayaan 1 launched PSLV C 11.
May 2009: Chandrayaan 1's orbit rose to 200 kms after the completion of all the major mission objectives.
January 2019: Launch schedules for Chandrayaan 2.
ISRO will attempt to land rover on moon's south pole. Landing a rover on moon is a difficult task.
The wheeled rover will perform on-site chemical analysis on the lunar surface.
Complex mission will comprise Orbiter, Lander and Rover, all developed by India.
The spacecraft will be launched by GSLV Mk III.
An artist impression of the rover of Chandrayaan 2
Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully sent a lunar orbiter and a Mars orbiter. It also launched numerous communication satellites and earth observation satellites. Satellite navigation systems like GAGAN and IRNSS have been deployed. It has future plans like development of a reusable launch vehicle, human spaceflight (Gaganyaan by 2022), controlled soft lunar landing (Chandrayaan 2), interplanetary probes and a solar spacecraft mission (Aditya). The missions of ISRO have helped in various applications like telecommunication, military, etc. and its future missions are expected to further explore new areas in space technology.

Received January 10, 2019; Revised February 7, 2019; Accepted February 8, 2019.
From 2016 to 2018, approximately 15% of kohlrabi were observed displaying significant clubroot symptoms in farmer's fields in Jeju, Korea. The initial infection appeared as hypertrophy of root hairs, and as the disease progressed, galls formation occurred on the main roots, finally disease progress resulted in yellowing and wilting of leaves. Pathogenicity was proven by artificial inoculation of plants with resting spore suspension, fulfilling Koch's postulates. The resting spore is one-celled, spherical and subspherical, colorless, and 3-5 µm in diameter. On the basis of the morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses of internal transcribed spacer rDNA, the causal agent was identified as Plasmodiophora brassicae. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the occurrence of P. brassicae on kohlrabi in Korea.

My 2000 S70 failed the NH annual inspection for rear brakes at 55,000 miles. The Firestone shop quoted $339 to replace pads and rotors. I opted to purchase and install the parts myself so I could use OEM parts. Genuine Volvo parts weren't made in China but were made in India!! i saved only $130 doing it myself using Volvo parts but probably could have saved an additional $50 with after market parts. Even though I didn't save a bundle I still feel better using OEM parts.

Oskar in only 10 months demonstrates phenomenal growth and strong leadership
Oskar exceeded the 300.000 customer mark only 10 months after its commercial launch. According to telecom analyst estimates, Oskar's market share now approximates 7% at the year-end. Oskar has thus become by far the most successful mobile operator when we compare the first year of operations of all mobile carriers in the Czech Republic. "We are very proud that Oskar is one of the fastest growing third entrant GSM operators world-wide.
Oskar exceeded the 300.000 customer mark only 10 months after its commercial launch. According to telecom analyst estimates, Oskar's market share now approximates 7% at the year-end. Oskar has thus become by far the most successful mobile operator when we compare the first year of operations of all mobile carriers in the Czech Republic.
"We are very proud that Oskar is one of the fastest growing third entrant GSM operators world-wide. Having this kind of success in the Czech Republic, a country readily acknowledged as having one of the most developed and competitive wireless telecommunications markets in Europe is both a challenge and a reward. From the first days of our launch in March 2000 we were convinced that we offered a very competitive alternative to the public," says Al Tolstoy, Chief Executive Officer. "Clearly, people in the Czech Republic have responded with enthusiasm to Oskar's brand, our very competitive prices, state-of-art wireless technologies providing world class service, VAS and full network coverage."
According to the highly respected EMC World Cellular Database, Oskar became the fastest-developing third operator in Central and Eastern Europe. 6 months after its commercial launch Oskar had acquired 150.000 subscribers and reached a 4,7% market share surpassing the 4,4% market share achieved by Vodafone Hungary, in the same time frame.
From the outset, Oskar's objective was to make available the benefits of modern wireless services to everyone in the Czech Republic. Oskar was the first mobile carrier to offer per-second billing, no activation fees, same prices throughout the day, no distinction between peak and off-peak hours, no contracts for the purchase of services and easy-to-understand rate plans. At the same time, Oskar introduced Direct Delivery based on simple over-the-phone ordering, as well as the first E-commerce site and Oskaravans, mobile stores taking products and services to the smallest communities. Oskar already offers the services of 72 roaming partners in 37 countries of the world.
Český Mobil a.s. became the third mobile network operator in the Czech Republic after being granted a GSM 900/1800 dual band license by the Czech government in October 1999 and launched commercial operations on March 1, 2000 under the brand name Oskar.
Český Mobil a.s. is a member of telecommunications group of Canadian-based Telesystem International Wireless (TIW). TIW is a rapidly growing, global mobile communications operator with over 3.9 million subscribers worldwide. The Company's shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TIW") and NASDAQ ("TIWI").
TIW is deploying a pan-European digital specialized mobile radio (ESMR) network through its subsidiary Dolphin Telecom plc. Dolphin currently offers ESMR services in the United Kingdom, in addition to analog SMR services in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Belgium, Spain and Portugal.
In addition to its Dolphin operations, TIW is the strategic and operating partner of Brazil's fifth largest cellular group with operations in four regions. In Central and Eastern Europe, TIW is the cellular market leader in Romania and rapidly growing dual band GSM operator in the Czech Republic.

At the close of SATYAYUG (the first millennium of the Hindu mythology calculus - KALPA) several kings who had turned into evil beings because of their royal wealth and arrogance of power ruled the earth. They posed a serious threat to the pious, religious and scholarly life pursuit of those who wanted to lead a life of moral and social rectitude.
It was at this time that a great man, an incarnation of God, manifested himself on the earth. He achieved an adventurous, romantic and revolutionary desire. Because of his campaigns, injustice was done away with and justice established on earth. This virile, powerful and towering person picked up an axe, went round the earth twenty-one times and killed the evil Kshatriya kings like felling trees in the forests, and thus brought solace to the people. The country again smiled with peace and prosperity. And it was as if a New World had been created.
That was Parashurama's creation. Because his weapon was 'PARASHU' (axe), which he used to carry around since his childhood he was known as 'Parashurama'. Parashurama is the sixth incarnation of Vishnu on this earth and one among the ageless, immortal beings, like Ashwatthama. Hindus believe this story and worship Parashurama as God.
A 'rishi' (sage) named Rucheeka was on a tour of the country looking for a bride.At that time there were two famous royal clans the SURYAVAMSHA and the CHANDRAVAMSHA ruling in BHARATA (now called India). King Gandhi belonging to the Chandravamsha had a daughter named Satyavati who had blossomed into a lovely damsel imbued with fine moral qualities. The king was on the lookout for a suitable bridegroom for her. Just at that time Rucheeka, in the course of his travels, visited the king at his palace. The king entertained the sage with traditional honors. Pleased with the warm reception he received there, Rucheeka asked of the king: "O Maharaja, I have come to seek a favor from you. Will you fulfill it?" The King replied, "Respected sage, I deem it a privilege and pleasure to make any offering to you. Please let me know what you desire." Rucheeka said, "King, I would like to marry your daughter Satyavati."
The king was taken aback at the thought of sending his beloved daughter grown up in royal environment, to the poor life in a thatched hut. But he had given word to the sage that he would fulfill his desire. The king said: "O sage, you can marry my daughter upon one condition. Can you give us one thousand horses, all with one ear black and the body white-complexioned, as dowry?" Rucheeka agreed. He made a penance to please Varuna (the rain-god), obtained the thousand fine horses of the desired prescription and presented them to king Gandhi. The king was happy and now convinced of his son in-law's worth, married off his daughter to the sage. Though she had grown up amidst royal riches and pleasures, Satyavati easily adjusted herself to the simple living mode of the hermitage. She served her husband with devotion, considering him to be her god. The couple had no children for some time.
King Gandhi had only one daughter and no sons. He was worried that there no succeesor to the throne. His daughter Satyavati also knew his father's worry. One day sage Rucheeka asked her: "Tell me what is worrying you. I will give you a boon to solve your problem." Gladdened, Satyavati requested him to bless her and her mother that they might beget male children to perpetuate the line age. The sage gave them a consecrated herbal concoction separately to each and asked them to drink it. Satyavati's mother, thinking that the sage may have given her daughter something special, took the offering intended for her daughter, while the latter consumed that meant for her mother. Thus the sage's offerings were reversed in consumption.

Hatching Quality Chicks
Dr Tom Smith, Jr., extension poultry science specialist from Mississippi State University, introduces the inexperienced hatchery person to the various types of incubators and their operation for the hatching of chicken, turkey, waterfowl, game bird and peafowl eggs. The text is directed at the incubation of chicken eggs but the basic principles are the same for eggs of all domestic fowl, and changes in incubation procedures (when appropriate) are listed.
Incubating and hatching domestic fowl eggs is popular among individuals who have a small flock for eggs and meat and hobbyists with ornamental and 'fancy' birds. These individuals benefit largely from the refinements in egg incubation developed by commercial hatchery men. The fundamental techniques of incubation remain the same, whether you are hatching millions of birds per year as a commercial hatchery man or a dozen chicks as a backyard enthusiast.
This publication is designed to introduce the beginning hatchery man to the types of incubators and their operation for the hatching of chicken, turkey, waterfowl, game bird, and peafowl eggs. The text of this publication is directed at the incubation of chicken eggs, but the basic principles are the same for eggs of all domestic fowl. The changes in incubation procedures, when appropriate, are listed.
Breeder Flock Management
Proper management of the breeder flock is essential to produce good hatching eggs. Much vigor and health of a chick depends on the care of its parents before the egg is laid. All birds in the breeder flock should be reared with proper management practices. Information on brooding and managing flock replacements and breeders is in Mississippi Cooperative Extension Publication 268 The Home Flock [click here].
Birds in the breeding flock should be healthy and free of physical shortcomings that can interfere with proper mating and egg production. The potential parent birds must be able to produce fertile hatching eggs before chick quality can be improved.
The term 'selection as used in breeding' refers to choosing parents for the next generation. Base selection on (1) the ability of parents to produce fertile eggs that hatch into strong, healthy chicks; and (2) genetic traits that can improve desirable traits or performance in offspring. This publication deals with the first basis of selection. Selecting for genetic traits requires much training before continued improvement can be expected.
A breeder bird must not have a deformed beak, slipped wing, blindness in one or both eyes or any defect that may interfere with normal eating, drinking, and maintaining social stature in the flock. Male birds must be aggressive and have straight, sound legs and toes. Females should reflect good egg laying traits and good health and vigour.
Any of four mating systems can be used to produce hatching eggs. They are (1) 'mass' mating, (2) 'pen' mating, (3) 'stud' mating and (4) artificial insemination.
'Mass' mating means several males are allowed to run with a flock of females. This method, used to obtain the maximum number of hatching eggs, is the most common method of mating used in poultry flocks.
'Pen' mating is mating a pen or small flock of females with a single male. Use this system when you must know the ancestry of each chick. Use it, too, in a small flock in which more than one male is not necessary.
'Stud' mating consists of mating one female with a male in a single pen or coop. The females may be kept together but still be mated to different males. It is possible to mate more females to a single superior male.
Artificial insemination makes it possible to market birds of vastly different sizes. Artificial insemination also makes it possible to mate birds that would normally never mate. This method is used in unusual situations where other methods are impractical.
Provide the breeder flock with proper nesting facilities. Fill the nests with plenty of clean nesting material to prevent breaking or contaminating egg shells with dirt, manure, or other disease-transmitting substances. Follow good sanitation and vaccination programs to control disease and pest problems.
Provide ample drinker and feeder space and plenty of clean, fresh water and feed. Feed a scientifically formulated 'complete' breeder ration to ensure proper nutrition and quality hatching eggs.
Selection and Care of Eggs
Collect the eggs at least once daily, more often when daily high temperatures are above 85 to 90°F. Commercial hatching eggs may be collected as often as four or five times daily to ensure egg quality. Keep nest eggs separate from eggs found on the floor so disease organisms are not spread. Do not incubate dirty floor eggs; they may spread disease to clean eggs.
Check the eggs for cleanliness soon after collection. Save eggs free of clinging dirt or debris and those with a small amount of adhering dirt easily removed. Never save dirty eggs for incubation. They can spread disease to other eggs and chicks. Never wash hatching eggs. Bacteria may be forced through the porous shell and into the egg. Washing also removes the protective sealing substance from the shell, leaving it vulnerable to penetration by other bacteria.
Incubate only eggs of average size. Excessively large eggs hatch poorly; small eggs hatch into small, unthrifty chicks. Do not incubate abnormally shaped eggs; they probably will not hatch.
Discard all cracked or thin-shelled eggs. These eggs do not keep the moisture needed for proper chick development. Penetration by disease-causing organisms increases in cracked eggs. Discard eggs with loose or bubbly air cells.
Sanitise eggs and equipment before storage or use by fumigating. Under-fumigation does not kill the bacteria but over-fumigation can kill the chick embryo in the egg. Use recommended amounts of chemicals at the right time for the length of time specified.
A room or cabinet large enough to hold the eggs is required. It must be relatively airtight and equipped with a small fan to circulate the gas. Calculate the inside volume of the structure by multiplying the inside length by the width by the height.
Stack the eggs inside the room or cabinet on wire racks, in wire baskets, or on egg flats so air can circulate among the eggs. Remove eggs from the cases for good air circulation.
Formaldehyde gas is produced by mixing 0.6 gram of potassium permanganate (KMnO4) with 1.2 cc of formalin (37.5 per cent formaldehyde) for each cubic foot of space in the fumigating structure. Mix the ingredients in an earthenware or enamelware container with a capacity at least 10 times the total volume of the ingredients.
Circulate the gas within the structure for 20 minutes and then expel the gas. The temperature during fumigation should be above 70°F. Allow eggs to air out for several hours before placing them in cases.
Hatching Egg Storage
It may not be practical to place the eggs in an incubator immediately after collection. If you hold eggs for several days, keep them in a cool, humid room. The best storage conditions are near 60°F and 75 per cent humidity. The temperature should not drop below 40°F or hatchability will be reduced. The cool temperature delays embryonic growth until incubation begins, and the high humidity prevents moisture loss. Humidity is best measured with a device called a psychrometer (a simple form of hygrometer). The table shows the relationship between wet bulb readings and relative humidity at storage temperatures.
Wet bulb reading for storage temperatures (°F)
Incubate eggs as soon as convenient. The hatchability of eggs stored for less than seven to 10 days remains high with proper storage conditions. Eggs held longer experience reduced hatches. After three weeks of storage, the hatchability is near zero per cent.
If the eggs are not incubated within three or four days, turn them daily. Turning the eggs prevents the yolks from touching the shell and injuring the embryo. Store the eggs with small ends down and slanted at an angle of 30 to 45 degrees. Large numbers of eggs can be stored in egg flats and cases with one end of the case elevated to give the proper slant. Turn the eggs by elevating alternate ends of the case or flat each day.
The eggs should warm slowly before being placed in the incubator. The shock of warming the eggs too rapidly will cause moisture to condense on the shell. This may lead to disease problems.
Fairly constant environmental conditions can be maintained in an incubator. Incubators are available in many different models and sizes with capacities ranging from two to thousands of eggs. The larger incubators are rooms in which environmental conditions are carefully controlled. There are two basic types of incubators, forced-air and still-air incubators. The size and type of incubator selected depends on your needs and future plans.
Forced-air incubators have internal fans to circulate the air. Eggs are placed in stacks of trays. The capacity of these incubators is large. Most units have automatic equipment for turning the eggs and spray mist nozzles for holding proper humidity levels.
Still-air incubators are usually small but may hold 100 eggs or more. They do not have fans. Air exchange is made by escaping warm, stale air at the top and entering cool, fresh air near the bottom. Air circulation is limited, so only one layer of eggs can be incubated. Incubating temperatures in these machines must be about 2 to 3°F. Above the temperatures in forced-air incubators.
If you are incubating large numbers of eggs or setting eggs more than once weekly, use separate incubating and hatching units. The incubators should be large enough to hold a three-week supply of eggs. The hatcher unit should be small but large enough to hold the largest setting of eggs.
Eggs at various stages of incubation are held in the incubator. The eggs are transferred to the hatcher on the 18th day and held in the hatcher until completely hatched. Clean and disinfect the hatcher after each group of eggs hatches.
Incubation Procedures
Place all incubators and hatchers inside a building away from severe weather. It is easier to check the temperature and humidity if the incubator kept indoors. The room must be well ventilated and have a system for maintaining comfortable temperatures.
Start the clean, sanitary incubator one or two days before the eggs are set. Use the extra time to adjust the temperature, humidity, and air flow. If you have no recommendations for your unit, use those in this publication.
Adjust the temperature to 100°F. in forced-air incubators and 102°F. in still-air incubators. The temperature in the hatching unit during the last three days may be one degree less than the incubating temperature.
In still-air incubators, locate the thermometer bulb about one inch above the screen floor. The thermometer must not touch the eggs or side of the incubator. Thermometer placement is not as critical in the forced-air incubator because of better air circulation. The sides and top of the incubator must fit tightly to prevent heat and moisture loss.
Temperature fluctuations of one degree or less are allowed, but there should be no prolonged periods of high or low temperatures. Hatching eggs can take much abuse, but they are sensitive to high heat. Many embryos die if held at 105°F. for 30 minutes. Incubating eggs at 90°F. for three to four hours will slow development and growth.
Carefully control humidity to prevent unnecessary moisture loss from the eggs. Measure humidity with a hygrometer or psychrometer. Psychrometer readings are expressed as 'degrees, wet bulb'. Convert these readings to relative humidity by using the table.
Wet bulb reading for incubation temperatures (°F)
The relative humidity in the incubator for the first 18 days should remain at 58 to 60 per cent or 85 to 87°F, wet bulb. During the last three days of incubation, increase humidity to at least 65 per cent of 89 to 90°F, wet bulb. Do not even open the incubator the three days before hatching, or vital moisture will be lost.
The chicks need added moisture when hatching to prevent the membranes from drying. Low humidity makes it more difficult for the chick to tear the tough shell membranes and may cause the chick to stick to the shell and die.
Goose eggs hatch better if sprinkled or dipped in clean, lukewarm (100°F.) water for one-half minute each day during the last half of the incubation period. Use warm water; cool water may suck bacteria into the eggs.
Rarely is the humidity too high in a still-air incubator. The water pan should cover at least one-half of the floor area during the first 18 days. At hatching time, increase humidity by adding another pan of water or a wet sponge. The humidity is raised by increasing the water surface area.
An excellent method of determining proper humidity is to candle the eggs and observe the size of the air cell. As incubation progresses, the size of the air cell increases because of moisture loss. Humidity adjustments can be made after each candling operation.
Proper ventilation is important for successful incubation. During embryonic development, oxygen enters the egg through pores in the shell, and carbon dioxide escapes in the reverse manner. As the embryo grows, it needs a larger supply of fresh air. The air openings of the incubator are gradually opened as incubation progresses. When increasing the air flow, be careful not to reduce humidity. In still air incubators, the ventilation openings must be both above and below the eggs for proper air exchange. Never place more than one layer of eggs in a still-air incubator.
When the electric power fails, open a forced-air incubator immediately so fresh air can enter. If the incubator is left closed, the oxygen supply will be exhausted and the chicks will suffocate. Hold room temperature at 75°F. or more. Eggs in a still-air incubator survive best if the incubator is closed to conserve the heat and humidity.
Turning the Eggs
In forced-air incubators, the eggs are placed small end down in special incubating trays that mechanically turn the eggs. If you use such a machine, be sure all trays operate properly. In still-air incubators, place eggs on their sides with the small end pointed slightly downward. This enables the embryo to turn itself into the proper position for hatching.
Turn the eggs at least two or three times daily during the first 18 days of incubation. Turning prevents the embryo from sticking to the shell membranes when left in one position too long. Do not turn eggs during the three days before hatching. The embryos are moving into hatching position and should not be disturbed.
An excellent method for knowing whether the eggs have been turned is to mark an 'X' on one side of the shell and an 'O' on the opposite side. Then you can always tell if the eggs have been turned. When turning, be sure your hands are clean. Be careful when turning eggs during the first week of incubation. The developing embryo has delicate blood vessels that may rupture if jarred or shaken.
Mark eggs incubated on different days with the date they were placed in the incubator. This prevents eggs from being overlooked and left in the incubator after they should have hatched.
All chicks should be out of their shells by the end of the 21st day unless proper incubation conditions were not maintained. Chicks hatched after the 22nd day are not usually healthy and vigorous. After the chicks have hatched and fluffed up, remove them from the incubator and place under a brooder with feed and water.
When the hatch is completed, disconnect the incubator from the power supply and remove all shells, unhatched eggs and debris. Wash the interior of the incubator with a warm detergent solution. Rinse with a sanitising solution and fumigate with formaldehyde as described earlier. Fumigate the incubator only after removing the eggs. After drying, the incubator is ready for reuse or storage.
Cleanliness and sanitation are the most practical and economical methods to prevent disease and produce quality chicks. Keep the hatching area and equipment clean and sanitary. Cover all windows, air intakes, and doors with screens to keep out insects and rodents. A good sanitation program has no substitute.
Testing for Fertility
Sometimes it is necessary to test the incubated eggs for fertility. If large numbers of infertile eggs are incubated, they can be found and discarded and the extra space used for additional eggs. This test will not injure the young embryos and is reliable for eliminating eggs that will not hatch.
Make a tester or candler by placing a light bulb attached to a drop cord inside a cardboard box. Cut a small, round hole in the top or side of the box, and let a narrow beam of light escape from the box. The hole should be one-half to three-quarters of an inch in diameter. You can see the internal features of the egg by placing it against the hole. A darkened room makes testing easier.
The eggs are normally tested after four to seven days of incubation. Eggs with white shells are easier to test and can be tested earlier than dark-shelled eggs. Two classes of eggs can be removed on the basis of this early test, 'infertiles' and 'dead germs'. 'Infertile' refers to an unfertilised egg or an egg that started developing but died before growth could be detected. 'Dead germs' refers to embryos that died after growing large enough to be seen when candled.
An 'infertile' appears as a clear egg except for a slight shadow cast by the yolk. A live embryo is spider-like in appearance, with the embryo representing a spider's body and the large blood vessels spreading out much like a spider's legs. A living embryo during testing is illustrated. A 'dead germ' can be distinguished by the presence of a blood ring around the embryo. This is caused by the movement of blood away from the embryo after death.
If you are not sure if the embryo is alive, place the egg back in the incubator and retest. You can make a second test after 14 to 16 days of incubation. If the embryo is living, you can see only one or two small light spaces filled with blood vessels, and you may see the chick moving.
Hatching Failures
When eggs fail to hatch properly, the reason is often hard to determine. The cause may originate in the management of the breeder flock, the incubation procedures, or any step between the breeder flock and final hatch. The Incubation Trouble-Shooting Chart will help you find the causes and correct hatching failures.
