Creating a winning recipe for an internally facing corporate portal is a daunting task. At the onset of a project there is a natural tendency to think that having a large target audience is the route to success and value. What has been found through practice though can actually be quite the opposite. Whether we are experienced with portal deployments or not, there are some fundamental dynamics that if carefully orchestrated can help to ensure a deployment's success.
When working with powerful, versatile technology it is not uncommon to loose sight of the human element that we need to cater to for success. The "because it can" factor is tough to ignore and often initiatives tend to gravitate toward this. In order for a deployment to be successful, people need to walk away from their experience with added value. Using a restaurant analogy, this added value differentiates the quality of a portal deployment from an outstanding four star meal to an unappealingly average fast food meal.
Just as with a restaurant opening, a portal deployment goes through a series of phases that ultimately will determine if the investment (servers and software licensing) is worth it.
When a new restaurant opens its doors people are drawn by a mix of marketing effort and personal curiosity. In our case we are most likely going to get exposure through a corporate email or newsletter that lets people know that a new project has been deployed with the portal.
What happens next is absolutely crucial. Users visit, or in the case of our restaurant, people eat there. This might seem obvious, but when we look at a corporate portal it is easy to overlook since we have a tendency to be drawn toward and tout features over the applicability of an experience, or meal, to the individual.
Users need to have a rewarding, compelling experience. With the ability to quickly communicate and multitask via email and other electronic means, people have tight schedules and are generally unwilling to incorporate an additional tool if it does not provide significant value. When they experience the portal deployment they will ask themselves a few simple questions: "Did this make my life easier? Cut down on my workload? Enable a process more effectively that my traditional communication and information management methods?" The portal will not grow or assist the business through its novelty, but by the outcome of this hard, black and white examination.
Based on this assessment a reputation is established about the value provided by the new service within the portal or the portal itself. This provided value is where our target audience becomes so crucial. Did we just cook generic food in an attempt to satisfy a wide range of people? Or did we cook a specialty food that directly targeted a particular group of enthusiasts? The word that spreads throughout the enterprise is based on this crucial experience. It will ultimately come down to either satisfying a small group of people who will become vocal advocates, or frustrating a large group of people with a mediocre experience and creating a stigma around the portal platform.
If we were able to deliver a satisfying meal we will have done our job to establish devoted patrons. Having this group of individuals will allow us to have sustained value within our portal deployment.
If we did not provide a good meal, people will say "Yeah, I have eaten there, but it was nothing special." This means that whatever value we provided was quickly realized and then lost, leaving our organization with an "Empty Portal" or failed project.
Assuming that we did provide a good experience for our users by adding value, we will pick up positive word of mouth. This will ideally open a good dialogue between these patrons and our business and technology teams. With this communication channel we can continue to invest in shaping value for this group of users, growing out patronage. Beyond this, as more people become advocates of the platform, we can continue to develop solutions for the business members we are serving and gain even more return from our investment with additional, iterative, focused releases leveraging the portal framework.
1. Invite Food Critics – Get participation from the business unit that you are targeting. These are the people who will be eating at your establishment. This is about what they need, not the buffet of things that you can place in front of them.
2. Serve Bite Sized Pieces – Remember that small is manageable. Let your menu evolve based on the demands of the business. Do not try to pack it full of choices from the onset.
3. Time Food Preparation – Great restaurants have impeccable timing to ensure that their dishes are served in the proper order and correct temperature. Be sure to heavily weigh the benefits of any major development portion of a project. Having one piece of the project get away from you could ruin an otherwise good project as the business will be eager to complete their meal.
4. Maintain Great Ingredients – Governance is essential to maintaining value for a deployment. Just because we served up a great meal the first time does not mean that we are set and can move on. We need to put controls in place to ensure that the quality of the meals stays consistent or improves over time in order to retain patrons and grow our business.
Thinking back to how all of this applies to the overall value that we can provide, it is apparent that a large scale launch, although seemingly impressive, serves up less value in the long run if we are not focused on serving targeted, high value tools to our audience. We are sometimes tempted to do things just because we have the ingredients, but in order to build a thriving business, it is vital that we listen to and deliver the great treats that our customer base is interested in.


They're sending their kids to school to learn reading, writing and math skills, but 92 percent of parents say physical and health education is just as important. This is just one of the findings of a national survey that reveals parents are overwhelmingly in support of making schools healthier by providing more opportunities for physical activity and offering more nutritious foods to students.
The Alliance for a Healthier Generation study surveyed 600 parents of children from kindergarten through twelfth grade. It found that 98 percent of parents say schools should offer opportunities for exercise and physical activity throughout the day, whether it's with gym class, recess or afterschool programs.
They're even willing to get involved. According to the survey, 8 out of 10 dads and moms say they are ready to help make healthy changes in their children's schools.
Fathers can get involved by volunteering to coach a sport or planning a group relay race at their kids' schools.
Work with your children's teachers on ways to incorporate exercise into their lessons. For instance, offer to accompany the class on a nature hike to identify trees as a part of a science lesson or to collect rocks to use for a math lesson.
One of the most important parenting tips for helping your children stay active is to be active yourself. "You are a role model for your children; set a good example by making physical activity a priority in your life," advises the Mayo Clinic's Dr Edward Laskowski.
If you're not already an exerciser, help your children realize the importance of being physically fit together. Start off slowly taking walks, raking leaves or playing a game of soccer together. Make goals on the amount of time you'll spend being active together and increase your activity levels as you progress.


A decade ago, the programming industry was nothing like it is today. We found an opportunity to shine a spotlight on an industry largely in the dark.
Ever since we started We Are Mammoth in 2006, we've been sharing ideas for how development ought to work. Within our first three years, we'd successfully built a thriving software consultancy and released our popular issue tracker, DoneDone, to the masses.
Back then, there were no fly-by-night code bootcamps. Developers weren't famous. Celebrities didn't pitch the merits of programming. The image of a programmer was that of an awkward outcast furiously typing away in a stark computer lab. Boy, how things changed.
As programming's popularity skyrocketed, so did the gap between learning to code and becoming a real-world programmer.
Our co-founder, Ka Wai Cheung, had a mission: To bridge that gap for others with the lessons we already learned.
Published by the Pragmatic Bookshelf in 2012, The Developer's Code is a collection of advice for programmers outside of the code.
on motivation, productivity, complexity, teaching, working with clients and more.
Published in 5 languages: English, Russian, Chinese (Traditional), Korean and Japanese.
The Developer's Code is available as a Paperback, eBook or Audiobook.
Got something to say? We'd love to hear your thoughts about our thoughts.

Given I've never seen anything like this otehr than the RC skit, I almost had it.
12 sizes larger than L? Ten Grinches plus two doesn't really refer to the size of the heart.
Maybe 36 sizes larger, or five?
More research gives the answer XL. So, any of those answers are my guesses.
....No? I dunno what you're talking about there, sorry.
Ah. Well that's all you had to say, y'know. Your reasoning behind your last guess was shoddy as hell.
Anywho, XL is correct. His heart started out 2 sizes too small, which then grew 3 sizes at the end of the story.
This is what I had to go by to start with.
Anywho, someone else can go now if they wish.
I'm out of riddles. I think myself smart enough to challenge any riddle but I end up solving diddly squat.
ACTUALLY. I know one. Bit of maths to it.
Red Riding hood carries a basket of eggs towards her grandmother's house, the path to which is through the woods.
In the woods, she comes to a bridge. The bridge keeper demands the price of half of her eggs plus half an egg. Red Riding hood pays the price and moves on.
She comes to a second bridge. Same as before, half her eggs plus half an egg. She pays and moves on.
Third and final bridge, half of her eggs plus half an egg. She pays.
By the time she gets to her grandmother's house, she has no eggs left. How many did she start off with?
You just have to work backwards.
So assuming Gelo is right, I've got a picture riddle for you guys.
The lake had a higher waterline, which froze. Snow fell, then eventually the ice melted and the water level somehow dropped.
And yeah, Gelo got my riddle right.
Mitch and Gelo got it right together; there was a flood, the temperature dropped forming those ice structures, then the water level dropped as the flood subsided, leaving the structures behind.
I would have also accepted ninja stars, but whatever.
Fight amongst yourselves for who should post the next riddle. :P And feel free to go outside of just word riddles; picture riddles like the one I posted (and Kitty posted) can be quite fun.
Alright, if no one is gonna post another riddle, I'll post one.
One man and three women enter, four rich men leave. What real-life incident is described?
Srsly guys, just plug a few of these phrases into google and look around a bit.
No, there's a specific name for the incident that happened to fit the criteria I've put down.
Well Google isn't giving any results, so I give up. I don't think there's going to be a massive variation of responses.
Well I'll post something I've come up with.
This is a coded greeting. Can anyone figure out the (very simple) encryption?
Good Evening to you too, Tate.
I didn't have to encode it (since the lettering gave it away instantly), But the letters are written as the letter two spots after it (eg. A becomes C).
Well, here's another one for you lot, since Kitty hasn't posted her own.
I am a path situated between two mountains. Take away my first letter and you leave a path situated between two buildings. What am I?
Valley, which turns into Alley.
Next person can post a riddle, I can't think of one.
I got one. It's visual though, so bear with me.
10 coins are set out in a lower case t shape, with six coins running down vertically and the other four across the third row, like this.
By moving only one coin (not removing it), turn the pattern into a regular cross with six coins in each row.
I think it's impossible for there to be two rows with six each because there are only ten coins total. In order for it to be a regular cross, the two lines may only intersect once and therefore only one coin may be shared between them: in order for there to be enough coins left to make any shape in this manner, it must intersect twice to make up for the missing two coins from the count in each row.
Unless, of course, this is a trick question, in which case screw you.

What a wonderful world ….?
Libera has been all over the place……to America, Japan, Philippines, Korea, Singapore, all over the world – in fact, to the other side of the world. But now, the trip to top all trips…..Leeds in the North of England !
'W-H-A-T I-S G-O-I-N-G O-N' we all wondered?
Of course the journey between London and Leeds was quite long, so the usual scenarios happened. 'Where's my tablet?' 'Did you seriously eat all of it, and keep none for me?' 'Barbara, can I have my DS back please?' 'Kuba can you stop talking about Pokemon?' But then Mr Peabody and Sherman came to the rescue on the coach DVD, and all was peace and calmness.
Anyway the next day was a 'Wonderful'-Day! We were off to the mills to record 'Wonderful World', and as I said earlier, we had to get rid of our robes and get covered in the aforementioned dirt. We got dressed in old-fashioned ragged dirty clothes, which enabled us to look the part. On a more serious note we were re-enacting one of the most horrific jobs in the history of the Industrial Revolution. So our clothes and dirt were not for a kind of nice friendly Oliver Twist scene, with happy boys dancing and singing about pickapocketortwo, but more real – we had to have bare feet for a start – and we were to be working in the mill where children would have to crawl under dangerous machines risking their lives. We all had different parts to play: nippers, weighers, machine cleaners (one of the most dangerous jobs of all), floor cleaners, hand spinners and bobbin basket carriers.
The children would have been working very hard for very long hours each day and due to the awful working conditions they would not have seen much of the outside world. Their world in itself may not have seemed altogether too wonderful either. Some may indeed have been optimistic about themselves but not all.
We all learnt a lot about the history and the cruelty to children working in the mills. Not that we could hear much – the machine made the most ghastly noise. They told us that most of the children became deaf. It was all so sad, and we felt a bit guilty really as we were kind of play-acting what was real life to them, almost as if their ghosts were around us.
Anyhow, back to the 21st Century, evening came and we went back to the place where we were staying to spend our final night and had a massive Italian meal – in other words, pizzas - on the way.
The next morning we got up at our own times and went down for breakfast. We had the whole rest of the day in Leeds, so we went to see the charming sights of Leeds. It was a nice, sunny day so we started the day by heading to the accommodation's grounds where we played a bit of football which is very popular in Libera. Then to the Media Museum which is rather nicely related, as it is all about film and television. Later on we went back to our rooms to pack our stuff into our suitcases. We got to the coach and made our way to our next destination. The Park. We played our world famous chase game called 'Disease". After about an hour we decided to move out to a zoo. There were orangutans, crocodiles and even blue whales (okay that last one was a bit of a fib!) Anyhow, it was time to head back to London, and we were all sad to be leaving but happy to be reuniting with our families. This was a tour that was not going to be forgotten quickly. Now we are all looking forward to see what the film will look like!
Libera is true to the meaning of its Latin title, 'Free', and crosses many musical boundaries. With original repertoire, innovative textures and inventive arrangements the group brings an imaginative new perspective to the landscape of vocal music.

#XenophobicAttacks: Legislator calls for evacuation of Nigerians from South Africa
Rep. Nnenna Elendu-Ukeje, Chairperson, House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs, has called for the evacuation of Nigerians within 24 hours from South Africa owing to ongoing attacks on non-indigenes. Ukeje (PDP-Abia) made the appeal in a phone interview with newsmen on Thursday in Ibadan.
She said that the call was necessary because of increasing attacks on Nigerians and non-Nigerians alike in South Africa. "The Federal Government of Nigeria should rise up to the occasion by having contingency plans to evacuate Nigerians within 24 hours to avoid us losing our citizens to these attacks.
"It is expedient to think of where all Nigerians can gather within 24 hours for safety either in our embassy or mission for the safety of our citizens,'' she said. The lawmaker suggested that a concrete arrangement with some airlines should be made to evacuate Nigerians back home. She also urged the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to equally mobilise to take care of the returnees.
Ukeje noted with concern that that the xenophobia was degenerating to Afrophobia as many black Africans, including Nigerians, were being attacked from Johannesburg to Durban. She advised the Nigerian government against delay till some of her citizens are killed in the latest attacks before implementing its citizen diplomacy policy. "Unfortunately, there is no serious condemnation from South Africa government on this attacks, hence the need for Nigerian government to be proactive and rescue her citizens as soon as possible,'' she said.
She expressed surprise that South Africa that housed African Parliament and other institutions of Africa in the continent could descend so low to the extent of her nationals attacking other Africans living in that country. Ukeje said her committee was in close contact with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to see what could be done to protect Nigerians in South Africa, while the House is to engage relevant stakeholders on the matter.
Rep. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Diaspora, also told pressmen on phone that a motion on the issue would be tabled during the plenary session of the House. Dabiri-Erewa (APC-Lagos) condemned the attacks on Nigerians living in South Africa, saying it was disgusting for South Africans to be treating Nigerians like that despite the Nigeria's role during the apartheid struggle.
Sen. Musiliu Obanikoro, Minister of State II, for Foreign Affairs, has said that no Nigerian was killed in the attack against foreigners in South Africa. "We are following the developments in South Africa and efforts are being made to protect Nigerian citizens in South Africa,'' Obanikoro assured.

provided $50,000,000 for a Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program.
By my count, that's $50M divvied up among 32 diseases = $1.5M each. Barely $1 per patient for CFS.
Compare that to $650 per patient for cancer or $250 per patient for MS ... both of which receive even *more* funding under this bill.

Catalyst Architecture has been retained to design a 1,500 sq.ft. house for an artist couple on a wooded lot to the west of Prescott. Several alternative methods of construction have been considered, ranging from shipping containers to straw bale to rammed earth.
After participating in a workshop at the Cal-Earth Institute, the super adobe, or earth bag construction technique was finally selected, in part, due to its fire resistance and fluidity of design.

The fourth instalment of Modern Music Days' Regional Concert Series, TRIOS, will give the public access to an exclusive castello. Iggy Fenech chats to composer Ruben Zahra to find out more about the recital and, more specifically, his composition Crimson Sunrise.
The objective behind the Regional Concert Series of Modern Music Days (MMD) is twofold: to promote the performance and understanding of contemporary music and to present concerts within unique historical venues across Malta and Gozo.
The first three dates – which took audiences to Ta' Bistra Catacombs in Mosta, the Victor Pasmore Gallery in Valletta and Mnajdra Temples in Qrendi – have been successful in doing that. Yet, 'TRIOS' is actually set to raise the bar by creating the opportunity to visit a heritage site that is not customarily open to the general public.
Located in San Ġwann, opposite Mensija Chapel, Castello Lanzun is the headquarters of the Military and Hospitaller Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem. Able to trace its origins back to the Holy Lands after the first Crusade of 1099, the Order today works around the world by helping to supply pharmaceuticals for treating leprosy and to raise awareness about the discrimination the afflicted face.
Now, on August 11, the central courtyard of the Castello will become the stage to a recital featuring Nadine Galea on violin, Giuseppe Recchia on clarinet and Tricia Dawn Williams on piano. The programme includes trios, duets, as well as piano solos by Maltese and international composers, namely Makiko Kinoshita, Shoichi Yabuta, John Adams, Scott McAllister, John Psathas, Charles Camilleri and Ruben Zahra.
One of the pieces to be performed on the night will be Ruben Zahra's Crimson Sunrise, which was written specifically for violinist Nadine Galea, who has performed in front of Queen Elizabeth II and who made the news earlier this year when global superstar Will.I.Am flew her to Cannes for a special performance.
"Crimson Sunrise is a piano-violin duo which Nadine had asked me to compose for her while she was still studying at the Royal College of Music (RCM) in London," Ruben explains.
Crimson Sunrise sits comfortably in Ruben's more recent streak of compositions that are a far cry from his earlier works rooted in folk material. His newer musical style, in fact, expresses a strong rhythmic character – complex and yet grounded in an organic pulse.
As Ruben explains, he is not afraid to draw his inspiration from various sources, including heavy metal riffs. "I am intrigued by the rhythmic configurations found in hard rock and heavy metal," he says, "but, to me, these are just 'raw materials' that are transformed within the tapestry of my musical work.
The beauty of TRIOS, however, is that it will present a programme of contemporary music that is exciting and accessible to all. Accessibility, in fact, is at the heart of this project and Ruben has made sure to put together a programme that everyone can enjoy even if it will take the audience beyond its comfort zone into uncharted musical waters.
TRIOS is part of Modern Music Days, which is organised by the Manoel Theatre, the Malta Association for Contemporary Music and the Valletta 2018 Foundation as part of the culture programme of Valletta 2018 European Capital of Culture. This concert is being organised in collaboration with the Military and Hospitaller Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem. Tickets are available online.

Eastern Daily Press > Things to do
Updated: 6:24 PM February 19, 2021
CHRISTOPHER SMITH Theatre Royal, Norwich
Wholeheartedly and in its usual thoroughly traditional style the Chisinau National Opera presents Madama Butterfly with passion and colour. It is exactly what Puccini's opera calls for. It does not need any clever updating or revisionist production when the emotions remain so fresh, while, for those who wish to see them, the implications are so clear.
It is all a matter of cultures that clash. The brash young American Naval officer is out for a fling. It may not last, but it will be fun while it does. The trouble is that his Japanese bride takes it all to heart, literally. The result can only be disaster, for the customs of the East just won't fit in with more modern attitudes. Butterfly may be young, but she embodies the older values. This could all add up to something rather grim and unpleasant, and the end is drastic. But there is a tone of romanticism as well, of fond hopes that are kept up and always revived as well as bitter disappointments.
The contrasts of the opera are brought out in music as well as action. Sometimes with an Eastern accent, it can also burst out ironically with a tune obviously imported from another land. That is not all. The orchestration is cunningly arranged either to build up tension or else to create an idyll all the more touching because we realise it must be short lived. Music becomes the main expression of all the emotions, and sometimes we listen for some minutes to the orchestra without there being any singing at all.
Alexandru Samoila is the conductor, working with a responsive band and a cast of committed singers. Rusaln Zinevych is an ardent Pinkerton and Galina Bernaz is a soaring Butterfly. Vladimir Dragos is the American Consul with a difficult role and a magnificent resonant baritone voice.

Blog Tour for 'Code 17' by Francis Booth for #RandomThingsTour with thanks to tour host @annecater
September 12, 2019 / books.tea.and.me
BANG. BANG.
Jonty crumples to the ground. I jump out of the Bentley and run over to him as fast as I can manage in my wedding dress. Jonty is bleeding from the head, the chest and the tummy. The last words he says to me before he dies are: 'Code 17'.
My thoughts – a wacky, pacy spy thriller with an original, quirky protagonist! I genuinely had a fun time reading this.
'Code 17' consists of many short chapters from the first person perspective of Lady Laurencia Artemisia Claudia Summers…phew! AKA Laura, or Lady Laura Summers, AKA slightly dodgy art dealer. We get thrust straight into the plot after the groom gets shot on his way to his wedding to Laura – and although the wedding is one of convenience, Lady Summers is determined to seek retribution and immediately discovers, and is pitted against a network of undercover agents, and in particular the unsavoury Persephone. Lady Laura now has a challenging nemesis.
The writing is sharp, direct and consistently to the point but we still get enough to develop the characters and build plot. Its mini-episode style is suited to reading on the go, and it's easy to drop back into the story as the scenes are very pictorial. There're quite a few spoofy antics featuring both Laura, her sidekick/friends Muffie and Ronni. At times it's humorous as the women begin to investigate, from picking up some C&A catsuits for a break-in job to accidentally causing a few violent ends!
There's also the backdrop of the swinging sixties London, so the vibe is full of expression, art, glamour, music, celebrity and a dash of romance. It's a fun journey following the antics of the characters in this book, and I happily recommended it to fellow readers.
Words from the author:
Code 17 was originally a musical idea.
Ten years ago I made an album that paid homage to the theme music of 1960s British TV spy series like The Man from UNCLE, The Baron and Department S, and to films like Modesty Blaise and The Ipcress File. The music on the album was from an imaginary TV series called Code 17, featuring the glamorous art dealer/spy Lady Laura Summers. She was imagined as a cross between Sharron Macready of The Champions, Emma Peel of The Avengers and Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward of Thunderbirds, though none of these women was the lead character in their own show.
Ten years later I thought I could make a novel out of Code 17 and Lady Laura – a fast-paced, female-led thriller set in the art world of Swinging 1967 London. I kept to the format of a twelve-episode TV series and tried to imagine each chapter as a self-contained thirty minute episode, split into short, cinematic scenes; I imagined our heroine getting into deep water in every episode but always getting out of it before the credits rolled.
I hope you can imagine it that way too.

Bucklebury Farm Park is a known to many residents of Reading as Berkshire's best kept secret. Located in the picturesque Pang Valley the park resides on 70 acres of stunning greenery. Originally a farm which grew corn and housed sheep, it extended to the growth of strawberries on 6 acres which evolved to being a major product.
Now Bucklebury Farm Park is a favoured attraction for the family as it offers many children friendly activities. Indulge in feeding the young and petting the many animals with the Pat-a-Pet programme. With the offer of free rides along the countryside, opt to 'See the Deer' which roam the grasslands. On rainy days, the park offers children the chance to enjoy their time at the Indoor Play Area, and on sunny days, the Adventure Playground offers exciting games and equipment to play with. Bucklebury Farm Park also allows school visits and field trips, which are both fun and educational. An unusual venue for occasions, the park offers its facilities to host events such as birthday parties either on the greens as a picnic, or indoor at its many facilities.

Axon honors 2019 RISE recipients at Axon Accelerate, the leading technology conference for public safety
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., April 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Axon (Nasdaq: AAXN), the global leader in connected public safety technologies, today announced the winners of the 2019 Axon RISE Awards for Community Commitment. This year's honorees include Chris Cognac, former police officer and founder of Coffee with a Cop, and Sylvia Moir, Chief of the Tempe Police Department and advocate of mindfulness in policing. The recipients were honored before a crowd of around 1,200 people at the kick-off ceremony to Axon's fourth annual Accelerate conference in Phoenix, Ariz. At the ceremony, Axon also announced a new partnership with Coffee with a Cop that includes sponsorship of training events aimed at developing community policing skills for agencies across the United States.
Axon's RISE Awards recognize and honor professionals in the public safety industry who exemplify a commitment to engaging with communities, saving lives and being innovators in solving the problems that face law enforcement today. During the ceremony, Axon presented Cognac with a donation of $5,000 to Coffee with a Cop and presented Moir with $5,000 to Mulligan's Manor.

"It is a privilege to recognize these outstanding examples of community commitment," says Axon CEO and founder, Rick Smith.

Chris and Sylvia have dedicated their lives to finding a way to bridge this gap by helping both individual community members and focusing on the mental health of officers who serve to protect those community members."

Temp salaries at small businesses down for 11th straight month
SEJONG/SEOUL, June 11 (Yonhap) -- Low-income nonregular workers at small businesses in South Korea have seen their wages drop steadily for nearly a year despite the minimum wage hike, mainly due to the decline in working hours, data showed Monday.
The monthly wages of temporary workers in such establishments as restaurants and bars with five to nine employees declined on-year for 11 straight months from May 2017 to March this year, according to the data from the Korean Statistical Information Service (KOSIS).
Industry observers said the decline in the workers' wages is mainly attributable to the drop in working hours. Temporary employees' working hours have been on the decline during the cited period, according to the data.
South Korea raised the hourly minimum wage by 16.4 percent to 7,530 won (US$7) in January, the biggest jump in nearly two decades, and plans to increase the threshold to 10,000 won by 2020.
The government said the hike is aimed at income-led economic expansion and a reduction of the pay gap between workers, but there has been criticism that the increase is hurting entry-level jobs and weighing down the local economy.
Monthly salaries for regular workers at the same small businesses, meanwhile, increased on-year in February and March, the latest data showed.


TIP! Keep your marketing videos short and sweet. In today's world, viewers' time is more valuable and scarce as ever, so you have less time to hold their attention.
You are not alone if you have probably tried almost everything you can think of without finding a great deal of success. Video marketing is currently a technique new to most people. Keep on reading for great advice about using video marketing advice.
The content of your video go viral is to focus on excellent content. It is not always the best technical video camera to make a video. People will watch and share a video if the information is relevant.
You can't expect viewers to watch videos under 20 minutes. You may need all of that long only if you are showing your audience how a very in-depth how-to video. If you are just talking directly with your clients, your video should not exceed ten minutes.
Ensure you have optimized your videos. You also need to include any targeted keywords too.You should put in case a potential customer needs to contact you.
Production value is not the most important part of your process. High production values do not mean getting good returns. A lot of popular companies have used simple video can do as well as a fancy one.
TIP! If you are hosting the video on your website, have a subscription form for your mailing list right below the video. This is a great way to keep them interested in what you're selling.
If your video's objective is pushing a product to the individuals watching, you should attach a working link back to it. This link is ideally within the actual video player. Doing so ensures the link with the video just in case someone shares or embeds it.
You will probably have the occasion to interview some experts or document your experience. If you are speaking at the event, have it recorded.
Write down exactly how you want to begin and closing of each video. You must give your name, your company, and the topic of the video.
Your video should be chock full of information and filled with useful information. People who watch videos online do not want to move from task to task quickly. Try to keep your video shorter than 5 or so minutes if you don't want to prevent people from wandering off mid-viewing. Even if your video contains valuable content, people won't stay to watch the whole thing if they end up getting distracted.
Host a video contests in order to increase your site's number of videos. Videos by your customers are a sense of community.
TIP! Make a simple soundtrack. Consider what commercials you have seen and you will see that the best ones have music in them.
Are there any questions you being asked something often about your business and products? You can then use the videos to help answer these questions.A short video explaining a certain process or how your product works can help to give your viewers feel more confident about what you have to offer.
TIP! Are there certain questions that are asked about your products or services on a regular basis? Videos are a great way to address these. All that's needed is a short video that explains how a product or service works, and your viewers will have much more confidence in you, which will increase the odds that they'll buy from you.
Humor is a useful tool for creating marketing videos. Your audience will quickly lose interest if your commercial is not respond to boring. A controversial or funny commercial will grab people's attention. Try to be as creative as possible with your creativity. A commercial that's interesting or funny clips will get you far.
TIP! Consider creating an instructional video. Don't leave anything out when making it, however.

Antoine Jérôme Balard (Montpellier, 1802. szeptember 30. – Párizs, 1876. március 31.) francia vegyész, a bróm felfedezője.

Eredetileg gyógyszerész volt, de pályája vegyészként jelentős. A vegytan tanára volt a Faculté des Sciences és a Collège de France intézetekben, a Francia Természettudományi Akadémia tagja. Nevéhez fűződik a nátrium-szulfátnak a tengervízből való előállítása. 1826-ban ő fedezte fel a brómot és kidolgozta tudományos és ipari hasznosításának módját. Felfedezéséért 1830-ban megkapta a Royal Society Royal-érmet.
Munkásságáról visszaemlékezéseket közölt a Comptes rendus de l'Académie des sciences és az  Annales de physique et de chimie szaklapokban.

Does this poster really stop you and ask to be taken notice of?
Does it beg not to be ignored? Has it got a strong call to action? Is it well designed?
The answer to all four questions is I'm afraid, a resounding no.
Stagecoach have committed the cardinal sin of not attempting to be different. For some reason they have decided that a promotion with fuel rises at its core, should show a petrol pump - just like every other campaign making a comparison between rising fuel prices and static bus fares. And that, ladies and gentleman of the marketing fraternity, is my point.
According to Stagecoach the poster also pointed out 'how convenient and cheap bus travel is' but having read the 13 words of copy I can see no reference to convenience or cheapness. Can you?
Back to the drawing board for this campaign I'm afraid.


On behalf of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul here at St. Bernadette, I would like to thank all of the students, teachers and principal, as well as all of the supportive parents, for the successful conclusion of your food raising project. The Principal told me that he had hoped to raise 400 items [2 per student], but in fact you raised 1527 food items [8 per student]. That is an incredible success. You know, when we sometimes think of the hungry, we often think of those in far away lands, but in fact there are 1.3 million children in Canada living below the poverty line, and in B.C. alone, 153,000 children live below the poverty line, or one in five children. So in fact there may be families on your street [ maybe even your neighbor],and families living on your block that are living below this poverty line, and go to bed and get up hungry, and may even come to school without breakfast. Your successful project will go a long way towards helping some of these families and children, and you deserve to be very proud of your accomplishment in making this food drive such a success. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul thanks all of you girls and boys, as well as your school staff and parents for helping us to help others.
Cookie/Pie orders are to be picked up on Wednesday, December 3rd between 2:15 and 5:00pm. All orders MUST be picked up on Dec. 3rd, the school does not have space to store orders.
School Mass will on Friday, December 5th. On Mass days the bell rings at 8:45am. If your child is late for school on a Mass day please bring him or her to the school first to sign in at the school office. Students must be in full school uniform.
The Inside Scoop is an informal way for the families to communicate with other families. It is a newsletter that typically goes out on the 3rd Wednesday of every month.

If you need to place an advertisement in the Inside Scoop you can e-mail her at amfaron@yahoo.com Please e-mail her no later than the second Friday of each month.
Concessions are available at $0.50 each.
Thank you to those who attended our Fall Social Event at the Fox and Fiddle Pub. It was lots of fun with the toonie toss, balloon raffle, silent auction and dancing. It was nice to see the families of St. Bernadette's community getting together!
We would like to thank Stuart and Stephannie Drysdale for all their hard work in organizing this event as well as our Fall Social Committee Members. A special thank you to all the sponsors that allowed us to raise funds for our school through their generous donations.

Windows 10 and Xbox One (S & X) support movies, [TV] series and games in Dolby Atmos. We help with setup and often-occurring first sound issues.
Modern sound bars work with additional speakers, which direct Atmos sounds towards the ceiling. The room reflects the sound from above back to the viewer.
Whoever wants to use Dolby Atmos needs the right player besides the TV and compatible sound hardware (AV receiver or sound bar). Very common are PCs, Laptops or HTPCs with Windows 10. Additionally popular are the Xbox One including the upgrades Xbox One S and X. In our guide, we assume that your home cinema amplifier or the sound bar are already configured for Dolby Atmos. This means, suitable Blu-rays and UHD-Blu-rays are played correctly with Dolby Atmos by the player. Likewise, computer and console [software] need to be up-to-date. Besides setting up the player, we concentrate on the use of games, streaming services and local files, where a lot of stumbling bocks threaten to come up.
Connection for Dolby Atmos: Only HDMI!
Usually, only HDMI is suitable as connection between sound hardware and player. On the device, you search for the output on the backside of the casing. It is either on the slot cover of the graphics card or close to the usb connections of the mainboard, if you use the integrated graphics of a current Intel or AMD processor. On Windows 10 as well as Xbox One you now need the app Dolby Access. It is available in the Microsoft Store for both platforms.
Dolby Access integrates Atmos surround sound in Windows 10 as well as Xbox One and offers demo material in the 3D sound format. Under Windows, you set the display output to the AV receiver or the sound bar, to which the TV should also be connected. If the signal goes first to the TV and from there to the AV receiver, it is possible that the TV cannot handle the Atmos format and you don't hear anything.
Sound Format for Dolby Atmos: Only Bitstream!
Dolby Access shows how the settings for sound have to be on the Xbox One to hear Dolby Atmos.
You don't have to be put off by the in-app purchases in Dolby Access. If someone only needs the general support for Windows 10 and the Xbox One, they can do without the unlocking of "Dolby Atmos for headphones" after the integrated test phase. Once the app is installed, it will set up the computer and the Xbox one. Configure your system for home cinemas ("Dolby Atmos for home theater"). Choose the according option in the sound settings of Windows 10, as by the instructions in the app. Make the AV receiver or sound bar the output device. A change to bitstream sound is not available under Windows 10 in regard to Dolby Access, but also not needed.
Note: If someone wants to watch not only Dolby Atmos, but at the same time also 4K movies with HDR under Windows 10, they need, besides a compatible TV, a further app. Specifically, users of Windows 10 need the HEVC codec, which Microsoft does not integrate directly in the operating system anymore since the Fall Creators Update.
On the Xbox One, on the other hand, under the settings for "Display and Sound", you have to change the HDMI audio output to "Bitstream out". The optical output is irrelevant. Instead, you can configure the bitstream format: There, you choose "Dolby Atmos for home theater", similar to Windows 10. If one does not change this to bitstream, it's possible that the sound does not appear. For instance with videos, games and music which are not with Dolby Atmos sound.
While the Xbox One – once set to Dolby Atmos – will output a continuous Atmos signal, Windows 10 will only respond to Atmos signals. Alternatively, the AV receiver or the sound bar can just output stereo. The solution: You change the output according to the hardware: Stereo, 5.1, 7.1 and so on. The sound hardware should recognise the signal when it's a multi channel signal and accordingly, you can still reproduce non-Atmos content correctly, even if the AV receiver or the soundbar may not indicate the usual Dolby Digital or DTS. This has just license related reasons. At the PCM signal which gets through, nothing is wrong in the case of 5.1 and 7.1. It is important that you configure your sound equipment for multichannel PCM output then, and not choose one of the options where, for instance, stereo signals are processed into Dolby Surround or such.
Tip: Besides Xbox One and Windows 10, Atmos signals can be reproduced by some Android TV boxes. Two of those, which also offer 4K codecs and HDR, we compare in the following duel.
If you followed our tips, basically all problems of the player with Dolby Atmos should be resolvable. Use HDMI cables and change to bitstream output (Xbox One) or the correct sound format (under Windows 10). If a video (under Windows 10) has no Atmos soundtrack, choose the respective configuration according to your speaker setup. On the part of the players, you now have all the requirements fulfilled.
Where do I get Content with Dolby Atmos?
Demo material you find among others at Netflix. Dolby Atmos movies and [TV] series are still rare. You can also find Atmos content on Amazon Prime Video, on some Blu-rays and of course nearly always on 4k Blu-rays. Online, you will quickly find different collections with trailers or other demo material through search engines. Sound specialists will inform you directly about games in Dolby Atmos on their own websites.

Mexican president confirms Pemex union boss under investigation
FILE PHOTO: Carlos Romero Deschamps, leader of the oil workers union of Pemex, delivers speech during the 80th anniversary of the expropriation of Mexico's oil industry in Mexico City
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The veteran leader of Mexico's powerful oil workers' union faces formal accusations of wrongdoing, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Tuesday, slowly turning up pressure on the labor boss to step aside.
Earlier this year, sources said the attorney general's office had accused Pemex union chief Carlos Romero Deschamps and several relatives of illicit enrichment and money laundering, charges he has consistently denied.
"Complaints have been presented to the attorney general's office," Lopez Obrador told a regular news conference. "If he decides to leave the union so that he can attend to these issues, that's his right. But we will not get involved."
"I think anyone who faces a complaint like this and at the same time is in charge of a union," he added, "it's best not to involve institutions and handle it on a personal level."
Still, the president added there would be no "persecution" of Romero Deschamps, and said the case should be handled with strict adherence to the law.
The union did not immediately respond to a request for comment after Lopez Obrador's remarks.
Romero Deschamps, a former senator, has led the oil workers union since 1993 and his current term is set to end in 2024 - the same year that Lopez Obrador's term as president concludes.
Union members make up the vast majority of employees at national oil company Pemex, a state-run company Lopez Obrador has pledged to strengthen while rooting out corruption.
Media reports of the lavish lifestyle of Romero Deschamps and his family, which included trips on private jets and the purchase of luxury sports cars, despite his modest official salary, have for years stoked accusations of corruption.

Then there's presidential hopeful Kamala Harris. At a televised town hall meeting this week, the Democratic senator from California called for "Medicare for all," which means that if she were to be elected president, 177 million Americans on private health insurance would lose their plans.
If that were not radical enough — wiping out an entire health care industry and abolishing consumer choice — "Medicare for all" would cost taxpayers an estimated $32.6 trillion over 10 years.
But that's not the only cost far-left liberals want to raise. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, another Democratic presidential hopeful, is calling for an incremental wealth tax on the rich — catapulting America toward socialism — despite the fact that a recent Forbes analysis found that her proposal would cost billionaires an estimated $85 billion per year.
That's money that many billionaires currently use for seeding startup enterprises, for supporting higher education with significant private grants and for other worthwhile charitable and philanthropic endeavors benefiting humanity — all of which would contract, if not collapse, if the taxman came knocking.

Q: Required complete example of POST multipart/form-data using CURL and Curlfile() I have struggling couple of days now. (Btw, I'm new to cURL)
I have API's setup by my mobile application developer on Heroku where I'm posting form data using following:
 public function do_add() {

                $Name           =   $this->input->post('Name');
                $Email          =   $this->input->post('Email');
                $Password       =   $this->input->post('Password');

                $txt             =  "Created";

                $url = 'https://myfullurl.com/api/users/';

                $fields = array(
                    'name'                      =>  $Name,
                    'email'                     =>  $Email,
                    'password'                  =>  $Password,
                    'role'                      =>  'driver'
                );

                $result = $this->scripts->api_add($url, $fields);

                        $this->session->set_userdata('Success',"Record Has Been Successfully ".$txt."...");
                        redirect(base_url().'mmsadmin/users/view_all');

  }

So when I post data above function of Codeignitor received it and post it to my model function below:
 public function api_add($url, $fields){

$fields_string = "";
                //url-ify the data for the POST
                foreach($fields as $key=>$value) { $fields_string .= $key.'='.$value.'&'; }
                rtrim($fields_string, '&');

                //open connection
                $ch = curl_init();

                //set the url, number of POST vars, POST data
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, count($fields));
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields_string);

                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Authorization: Bearer ' . $this->session->userdata('Token')));
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

                $result = json_decode($content = curl_exec($ch));
                curl_close($ch);

                return $result;

}

Above all working fine. Now I need to be able to send a file with it. Have been googling and found some -F command and also sending it using '@' but when I try that my server it give me error that this method is depreciated and I should use curlfile()
Can one of you geniuses out there change my functions to show exactly how to do this. As I'm clueless and running around like headless chicken for two days now :(
Thanks guys

A: curl file sending method you are using is depreciated from php5 and you should use curlfile class.
    // Create a cURL handle
    $ch = curl_init('http://example.com/upload.php');

    // Create a CURLFile object
    $cfile = new CURLFile('filename.fileTpye');

    // Assign POST data
    curl_file_create('filename.fileTpye');
   // Assign POST data
    $data =     array('test_file' =>$cfile,'name'=>'test','anotherData'=>'abc');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);

    // Execute the handle
    curl_exec($ch);

above is Object oriented style,another is Procedural style which is mentioned below:
    $ch = curl_init('http://example.com/upload.php');

    // Create a CURLFile object
    $cfile = curl_file_create('filename.fileTpye');

    // Assign POST data
    $data = array('test_file' => $cfile);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);

    // Execute the handle
    curl_exec($ch);

for more information please see php curlFile manual.


Holidays certainly don't. And though their benefits are well documented for their relaxing and rejuvenating powers, none of it means much if you feel completely unmotivated and desolate when you resume work. Like it or not, work is what most of our living hours consist of and we need to find ways to return to our jobs with renewed vigour and enthusiasm after a rewarding vacation.
There are several handy tips and tricks you can borrow from our experts to make the process of getting back to work less painful. For instance, on getting back to work after a holiday , Sandipan Bose, general manager, Golden Tulip, Chattarpur begins with his favourite task. This helps him to make a start and stay focused during the day . Nimgaonkar suggests not scheduling any meetings on the first day and focusing instead on taking stock and preparing a to-do list."Tidy up your desk space along with your inbox so as to clear your head," he suggests. Travelling usually clears your head and helps you gain a fresh perspective on things. Use this to your advantage when you return to your desk. "You might want to sit with your manager and discuss stalled projects. You might bring innovative and improvised ideas that may have an impact on the business," agrees Zack. He also suggests talking about your experiences and using the stories to strike a better rapport with your colleagues.Reliving memories by going through photographs or writing about the trip may also help you wrap your head around your everyday life.
A healthy dose of realism never hurts when it comes to bouncing back from a holiday . As Zack says, we work hard so that we can go on enjoyable holidays. The only way to keep this happy cycle going is to continue to give your best and stay grounded in reality .


Mindfulness techniques help children cope with life's challenges.
As more adults turn to mindfulness practices like yoga and meditation to combat mounting stress in their own lives, they're also experimenting with alternative practices to teach their kids to relax.
Children often don't know why or what has upset them, so how can they communicate this with you?
We feel safe when we are connected to life: to our breathing, our bodies, to each other. When our children feel connected, safe and centered, they can engage with life and all its joys and challenges.
They can self-regulate their stress, reduce anxiety, learn more easily, develop emotional intelligence.
Teaching kids mindfulness can go a long way in helping them boost awareness and control their moods. No sessions are set in stone, the classes have to flow to cope with the needs of the child, but here are examples of some of the classes.
The Little Minds Matter course is for the child and parent/carer, where the parent learns along with their child. Skills learned can be used at home. This is a six-week course or offered via one-to-one support.
As a qualified children's, mindfulness practitioner and therapist. I have taken further studies to help with children's issues, and can see children on a 1 to 1 session, and have had success with lots of children. from anger issues, to low confidence, bullying, feeling excluded, phobias, fears, self harm and more, with long waiting lists, why not bring your child to see me, each child goes away with tools and techniques' to help them cope with life's challenges.
Each week will be different, and will cover self-esteem, confidence, strength, kindness and compassion and managing difficult emotions.
