In a scientific information system scientists who are usually non-professional database administrators have been collecting and editing a number of items of scientific information in ordinary file systems or handy storage-oriented DBMSs. As masses of the information materials are stored they organize and integrate the separated ones into another large-scale database managed by an online information retrieval-oriented DBMS. Then the scientists often have to manipulate an unfamiliar DBMS by themselves though they are untrained. This paper addresses an experimental attempt of a guidance system with which even a non-professional database administrator can accomplish his database structuring on a DBMS unfamiliar to him. This system is implemented as a command system named 'DBGUIDE' which provides two functions as follows: (1)the semi-automatic database conversion from COOD (a handy storage-oriented DBMS) into INQ (a general-purpose DBMS) and (2)database structuring guidance for administrators who are unfamiliar with INQ. This guidance system not only plays an important role in the management of a complicated database system in an environment where multiple databases and multiple DBMSs exist but also shows one of the methods to familialize untrained database administrators like scientists with a DBMS.

Born around 948, Emma was the only child of Lothair II of Italy and Adelaide of Italy. Her father was poisoned in 950 by his political rival, Berengar of Ivrea. Berengar attempted to marry Emma's mother, who had a claim to the kingdom, to his own son; she defied him, however, and married the German king Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor instead, by whom she had Otto II.
The proof of a Bohemian marriage are denars with the inscription ENMA REGINA ("Queen Emma", not duchess). In that time Bohemia was a Duchy of Bohemia, not yet a Kingdom of Bohemia, but she was still an anointed queen of Western Francia. Through her the following Dukes of Bohemia became also offspring of Carolingian.

Basically Available, Soft-state, Eventually-consistent (BASE)
BASE, also known as Eventual Consistency, is seen as the polar opposite of Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability (ACID), properties seen as desirable in traditional database systems such as a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS).
BASE essentially embraces the fact that true consistency cannot be achieved in the real world, and as such cannot be modelled in highly scalable distributed systems. BASE has roots in Eric Brewer's Consistency, Availability and Partition-tolerance (CAP) Theorem, and eventual consistency is the underpinning of any distributed system that aims to provide high availability and partition tolerance.
Infinispan has traditionally followed ACID principles as far as possible, however an eventually consistent mode embracing BASE is on the roadmap.
A good article on ACM compares BASE versus ACID.
An excellent talk on eventual consistency and BASE in Riak is also available on InfoQ.

Albert Dayer (Elsene, 11 oktober 1925) is een gewezen Belgische atleet, die gespecialiseerd was in het speerwerpen en de tienkamp. Hij nam eenmaal deel aan de Olympische Spelen en werd in twee disciplines zes maal Belgisch kampioen.

Biografie
Dayer verbeterde in 1947 het Belgisch record in het kogelstoten van Roger Verhas naar 13,88 m. Verhas heroverde zijn record tijdens hetzelfde kampioenschap. Dat jaar werd Dayer voor het eerst Belgisch kampioen tienkamp, ook met een Belgisch record. Het jaar nadien nam Dayer deel aan de Olympische Spelen van Londen. Hij werd zesentwintigste. Later dat jaar werd hij voor de tweede keer Belgisch kampioen met alweer een Belgisch record. In 1950 nam hij ook deel aan de Europese kampioenschappen in Brussel.

Tussen 1949 en 1953 veroverde Dayer ook vier Belgische titels in het speerwerpen.

Clubs
Dayer was aangesloten bij Racing Club Brussel.

The adventures of owning an electric car
February 25, 2018 March 4, 2018 TheBlackhairedGuy
Cost to Operate: an Estimate
The question came up a few times before we purchased an electric car as to how much it would cost to operate. It was widely expected to be cheaper than a gas car, but by how much? Would it be marginally better or magnificently better? Was there a number we could put on it? Before we even purchased the car I had to figure out how much it would cost to operate.
First off, we should probably talk about what a kilowatt-hour is. But before that we should talk about what a watt is! A watt is a unit of power and is used to describe the rate of electric draw of something. That is sort of misleading physics-wise but will work for a blog post definition. Your 60 watt light bulb uses — you guessed it — 60 watts. A hair dryer uses about 1,500 watts, and a box fan uses about 40 watts. A kilowatt is simply 1,000 watts. So I don't have to type it too much watts are abbreviated as W and a kilowatt is abbreviated as kW.
This doesn't take into account the total power usage over time, or energy. (Energy is a pretty fundamental concept in physics and is massively important in terms of electric cars and efficiency. There will certainly be more about energy later.) This is simply the wattage multiplied by the time the appliance is used. If you burn a 60 watt bulb for 10 hours you'd use 600 watt-hours, or 60 Wh. This is exactly the same as if you'd use a six watt appliance for 100 hours, or any combination of wattage and time that equals 600 Wh. As you might expect, a kilowatt-hour is the energy used when 1,000 watts is used over an hour, or whatever is equal to that. It sounds fancy, but kWh is the basic unit of power in regards to electricity.
kWh is also how your electrical company bills you for electrical usage and this is what your electric meter measures for your household. Around where I live, a kWh, counting taxes and fees, costs us about $0.12. Some people pay more or less than 12 cents based on where they live and where their energy comes from, etc. I live in the midwest so it's probably a typical value here.
The Ford Focus Electric has a battery capacity of 23 kWh. If we take that and multiply it by the cost of electricity we get how much it'll take to "fill" the battery up. It is $2.76, about the current cost of a gallon of gas. Is that expensive or not? We don't know because we don't know how far the car can go off of that.
The EPA estimated range of the car is listed as 76 miles. So by paying $2.76 we can go 76 miles. Is that good? Well, it averages it to cost about 3.6 cents per mile. Every mile driven costs 3.6 cent! Compare this to our old Cavalier and Saturn which did, at best, 30 miles per gallon. A gallon, which costs roughly $2.76 can get us 30 miles. This is an average of 9.2 cents per mile! The electric car costs less than half the cost to operate on a per mile basis as does a Chevy Cavalier and a Saturn SL2, which are fairly fuel efficient cars.
What about for a month? What would an electric car cost then? Driving 600 miles at 3.6 cents per mile gives us a total of about $22 per month. Compare this to the 30 mpg gas car and that would cost about $55. A 15 mpg vehicle would cost $110. Electric cars, even if they will raise your electric bill a tiny bit, more than offset the expense of buying gasoline. And it's not even close, they're about half as expensive as a "good" gasoline car. The savings are more if you drive a truck, SUV, or sports car with a large engine.
That was all just an estimate that I did before I bought the car. I didn't know exactly how much electricity the car would use compared to these figures, but the real values are close. There's a few more issues to deal with in the real world though.

According to a 2009 Pew Research Center report, there are an estimated 2,000 Muslims living in Liechtenstein, approximately 4.8% of the general population (based on a census from the year 2000). In the census of 2010, 5.4% of the population (1960 persons) were Muslims; the number rose to 5.9% in the 2015 census. According to Pew Research, this number is projected to remain constant through 2030.

The great majority of Muslims in Liechtenstein are Sunni, and are predominantly from Turkey, Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and North Macedonia.  The census reports do not state what proportion of the Muslim population hold Liechtenstein citizenship.

In 2006, the government made a contribution of US$20,000 (25,000 Swiss francs) to the Muslim community.

Since 2001, the government has granted the Muslim community a residency permit for one imam, plus one short-term residency permit for an additional imam during Ramadan. The government follows a policy of routinely granting visas to the imams in exchange for the agreement of both the Turkish Association and the Islamic community to prevent religious diatribes by the imams or the spread of religious extremism.

An unrivaled portrait of day-to-day life in the NFL: "Riveting...An instant classic." -- "New York Times Book Review" By spending a year with the New York Jets, Nicholas Dawidoff entered a mysterious and private world with its own rituals and language. Equal parts "Paper Lion, Moneyball, Friday Night Lights, "and "The Office, "this absorbing, funny, and vivid narrative gets to the heart of a massive and stressful collective endeavor. Here is football in many faces: the polarizing, brilliant, and hilarious head coach; the general manager, whose job is to support (and suppress) the irrepressible coach; the defensive coaches and their in-house rivals, the offensive coaches; and of course the players. Wise safeties, brooding linebackers, high-strung cornerbacks, enthusiastic rookies, and a well-read nose tackle-they make up a strange and complex family. Dawidoff makes an emblematic NFL season come alive for fans and nonfans alike in a book about football that will forever change the way people watch and think about the sport.

Tuesday or September or The End by Hannah Black —PRE-ORDER—
Tuesday or September or The End by Hannah Black —PRE-ORDER— quantity
Tuesday or September or The End by Hannah Black is an incisive and playful work of speculative fiction that explores the rupture year of 2020, when aliens finally invaded.
Hannah Black is an artist and writer from the UK. She lives in New York. She has written for a number of publications including The New Inquiry, Artforum, and Bookforum. Her previous books include Dark Pool Party (2016) and Life (2017, with Juliana Huxtable). She is represented by the galleries Arcadia Missa in London and Isabella Bortolozzi in Berlin.
Praise for Tuesday or September or the End:
Tuesday or September or the End puts calendar time back into messianic time, and also the reverse. An account of the last two disorienting years in history, in our lives, this intimate and funny and abstract fiction uses fable, and unreality, to flood a reader with the real, to remind her what is at stake. — Rachel Kushner
Allegory and satire, alert and conscious, Hannah Black's Tuesday or September or the End, is an existential novel. Narrative innocence is not the engine of this work; knowledge of life in the modern is. Bird and Dog, Black's wide awake and dreaming characters, are electric and wise. This novel is fluent in our dystopia and utopia. — Dionne Brand
An acid calendar of planetary rot and revolt, Hannah Black's new novel listens for that alien language of the future: total social transformation. Staging debates on communism and social democracy, or unraveling the double helix of race and capitalism, Black's calendar is one that breathes and breaks, figuring the temporal hiccups of revolution. Suddenly it's no longer endless winter and our narrator Bird, much like chirping in early spring, brings us to witness the reanimation of the world. — Greg Nissan
In Tuesday or September or the End, we see ourselves battered by time, which isn't real, and chance, which is. But just as "the world resists its reduction to winter," Hannah Black's writing, in its passionate grasp of possibility, resists spiritual suicide. The book is deeply felt because the pain of attachment is close to its center and funny because life is currently absurd. But what I love most about it, reading its compact brilliant sentences in this sunless covid afternoon, is the way it makes an argument for clarity, which really can—partially, briefly, and when it matters most—sometimes be achieved. — Benjamin Krusling

The LAMP stack which stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL/MariaDB and PHP/Python/Perl is a very popular combination of free and open-source software used to run millions of websites today. Although many opt for the much efficient LEMP stack based on Nginx instead of Apache, there are still a significant number of users that choose LAMP for their projects. In fact, more than 30% of the active websites today run on top of LAMP. The stack is considered as reliable and very suitable for running high-performance high-availability web applications. In this tutorial we are going to show you how to secure the LAMP stack on your Linux Dedicated Server.
Having in mind that the LAMP stack is based on Linux and the whole open-source community works on improvements, it is considered as secure too. On an Ubuntu Server, all security updates and patches are available as an automatic unattended install as soon as they become available in the Ubuntu repos, and therefore, make sure you configure your system to automatically install the security updates if you are concerned about the security. In case this feature is not enabled on your server and you are not installing the latest upgrades and patches manually, you are putting your server at risk of being exploited.
To enable automatic unattended upgrades you should install the unattended-upgrades package.
To configure which category of packages to be automatically upgraded you should edit the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades file.
Enabling access to other services is pretty easy. Just replace the port number in the examples above with the port number of the service which you want to enable access to and that's it. The firewall rules will be active even after system reboot.
Once it is installed you should configure the module and enable the OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set (CRS).
The first thing you need to do to secure the MySQL service is to run the mysql_secure_installation script.
The script will help you to perform important security tasks like setting up root password, disable remote root login, remove anonymous users etc.
If you don't perform remote operations over your MySQL server then disabling the remote access to the service is a very important thing to do. You can do this by editing the /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf file and changing the bind-address to 127.0.0.1.
Another thing you need to consider is creating separate MySQL users for each database and application.
Then, you can use the newly created database and user for your application.
Restart the MySQL service for the changes to take effect.
All changes we will be making into this file.
where upload_max_filesize is the upload size limit.
Restart Apache after making these changes.

"Scums on the neck": the State Duma is deciding how to restrict the rights of people leaving abroad
The Russian authorities cannot in any way stop the flow of citizens seeking to leave their homeland, and therefore come up with various, and of course, repressive measures in order to force those who have already left to return and slow down those who are going to do it.
Russia's special military operation in Donbass
Ivan Zubov
For example, on Tuesday, December 27, United Russia deputy Nikolai Brykin was noted in this field, who was going to submit to the State Duma a bill recognizing all Russians who left the country after their stay in Ukraine as "foreign agents":
"Cowards-defectors have appeared, they are also traitors to the Motherland. Literally every inhabitant of Russia is asking the question: what will happen to these disgraceful people next? How will their conscience allow them to live peacefully in other countries, and do they even have a conscience? I have made a clear decision for myself – I will initiate a law on the recognition of these parasites as foreign agents! Stop putting up with such scum on your neck".
It's worth reminding that in October 2022, about the same proposal was made by the head of the Federation Council Commission for the protection of State sovereignty, Andreiy Klimov, according to whom, Russians who left the country after the start of their war in Ukraine cannot be trusted with any work in the public sphere, since they are "under foreign influence":
"A person who went abroad, didn't he find himself under foreign influence? It turned out. And if he personally wrote a statement that he condemns everyone here or something like that, it means that he was under foreign influence and committed a political act. Can he be a person involved in this law? Easily".
Almost about the same things told another senator, Andrey Klishas, who reported that a bill was already being prepared prohibiting employees of "sensitive sectors of the economy", such as the public sector and transport security, for example, from working from abroad.
By the way, on Tuesday it became known that just a similar bill is already being prepared. This was stated by another United Russia deputy Oleg Golikov, who proposed to limit the civil service for those who were drafted into the army after the announcement of partial mobilization on September 21, but preferred to leave Russia.
Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin also distinguished himself in this field, proposing to raise taxes and cancel benefits for citizens who left Russia, who, in his opinion, "should understand: the overwhelming part of society does not support their act — believes that they have betrayed their country, relatives and friends."The initiative of the chief was supported by the deputy head of the United Russia faction in the State Duma, Andrei Isaev, who said that deputies were already discussing the abolition of tax regimes for the self-employed and individual entrepreneurs who had left.
They are not able to understand that they devalue the title of the enemy of the people
Of course, all these very ambiguous statements and intentions are actively commented on on social networks.
For example, journalist Igor Shulika notes an extremely unpleasant trend:
"Look how the degree of the Unicorns is growing. A law was introduced to prohibit some from working from abroad, it will be accepted, then they offered to fill up all those who left with taxes, there is already a run ahead of the locomotive, listen to the finance minister, and now the proposal is to make all foreign agents. Then they will raise the degree again..."
Lawyer Alexey Fedyarov warns of the consequences of such steps:
"Kolya Brykin and the arrangement of Russia. How to make sure that active taxpayers who have left definitely do not want to return? How to defraud the state budget and domestic consumption? Kolya knows, Kolya is persistent, Kolya does".
And network analyst Anatoly Nesmian never tires of being surprised by the eternal stupidity of Russian officials:
"The title of enemy of the people makes sense if it is relatively exclusive. When a significant part of the country's population becomes enemies, the educational effect is lost. By the way, this also applies to awards. If you hand out the Heroes of Russia from left to right, then the status of the award after it is literally scattered in handfuls into the crowd is sharply devalued.
But something has to be done. And nothing but stupid direct solutions can come to a single gyrus. RAM is like an ancient HT. You can't write down much".
It remains only to ask Russian officials: why not solve the problem simply by banning Russian citizens from traveling abroad, as it was in the USSR?

After such a long break of not keeping my blog updated, I am going to try and do my best to post more regularly. A busy life working full time doesn't leave me with much spare time to play. My monthly Stamp Club is still running, and I am so very appreciative of the lovely ladies who have supported me over the years by coming along once a month and putting up with my disorganised state! Needless to say, we still have a great time and make some lovely cards and projects. Proof is the Z Fold card pictured here! You'll probably spot a few retired stamps and punches – it actually took me 3 evenings to put this together, as I visioned the brick work and a picket fence, but a lot of stamps just didn't work with the size of the bricks! So the positives of being a hoarder – one can usually find something that's retired that will fit the bill! I just love the Thoughtful Branches stamp set and matching framelits! I have also used the flowers from Avant Garden (current Sale-a-Bration freebie!) and lightly water coloured them with inks. Love the way it finally came together and look out – I plan to make more!

Q: PHP file encoding format local vs uploaded This a problem I already had twice while deploying an application online and that I've solved twice by chance still without understanding what caused the issue. This is the third time and it's still bugging me.

*

*I work locally with PHP files and Notepad++ (files are encoded in UTF-8 without BOM encoded btw). Everything works great here (config: easyPHP) without PHP errors.

*After uploading the files to a server, some files give me basic PHP errors like *unexpected T_FUNCTION in line 1* although there is no error in my code.

*I luckily happened to open the file with windows Notepad which gave me a hint: there are no spaces or line breaks between characters (this is why PHP gives me errors). To sum up:
File opened with Notepad++:
<?php
// Comment
function() { etc... (rest of the file)...

File opened with windows notepad:
<?php//comment function(){ ... which causes error online (but not on EasyPHP)

I've looked everywhere and done everything i could (adding line breaks in notepad++, converting to ANSI/UTF8, etc, but the file seems like corrupted or something). It is not a script I've copy pasted or anything, I create all my files by adding a new *.txt document in windows and renaming it *.php.
My questions:

*

*Why would Notepad++ and windows notepad show me different line breaks ? Is it encoding issues ? Windows/UNIX interpreting files differently ?

*Why would this work on my computer with easy PHP and not online ?

Thanks you in advance for any answer, if not, hint.

A: If you are transfering your files via FTP to production server then the problem could be some ftp clients do automatic newline conversion.. check out transfering files with different ftp client or tweak it's settings to disable automatic ascii text new lines conversion .
UPDATE:
Yes it's probably your files are being transferred in ascii mode rather than binary, so the solution is to set Filezilla to transferred your files in binary mode, see here the actual settings https://stackoverflow.com/a/555003/352672

Amber: Tears of the Gods
As Curator of Palaeontology for the Hunterian Museum, Dr Neil Clark was nicknamed "Jurassic Clark" by the Times Educational Supplement for his work on all aspects of Scotland's fossil heritage. His interest in dinosaurs began with the discovery of a four toed track in northern England, while his discovery of the world's smallest dinosaur footprint resulted in his appearance in the Guinness Book of World Records.
The Hunterian Museum is Scotland's oldest public museum and home to one of the largest collections outside the National Museums in the United Kingdom. As an integral part of the University of Glasgow, the museum is a central resource for research and teaching in the arts, humanities and natural and medical sciences.
Many exhibits at the Hunterian feature collections relating to specific topics in geology and palaeontology. Scottish Gold examines the scientific and historical aspects of this precious metal in Scotland from prehistoric times to the present day. The book, written by Dr. Neil Clark, is a companion to the museum's special exhibition, richly illustrated with many of the exhibit artifacts and their original geological settings.
The Hunterian Museum exhibition featured many treasures that are presented in the companion book. Notable amongst these treasures were the King's Gold Cup from the Leith races of 1751, Queen Victoria's gold collar of the Order of the Thistle, cloth of gold from the tomb of Robert the Bruce, Bronze and Iron Age gold torcs, large nuggets discovered in Scottish rivers, numerous gold coins minted with Scottish gold, and modern creations by Scottish goldsmith Graham Stewart.
Interest in gold mining has revived in Scotland since the late nineteenth century, when explorers retuning from the gold rushes in Australia and California began prospecting the Scottish hills in Fife and Sutherland. Earlier periods of gold mining in Scotland date back to the reigns of James the IV and V when large nuggets were discovered in parts of the Leadhills; gold that was then converted into coinage and royal regalia.
Scottish Gold appeals to scholars, enthusiasts, and to the ordinary reader, with its authoritative content and factual accuracy. Organized into eight chapter topics with full annotation, this book begins by examining the chemistry of gold and its many applications. The geology of gold deposits in Scotland is analyzed together with the methods of prospecting and extracting the metal as practiced since its earliest discovery. The history of gold objects found in Scotland began in prehistoric times and spans the Bronze and Iron Ages, followed by the Roman and Viking eras. The narrative concludes with chapters relating to more modern artifacts and the future of gold in Scotland, with the growing popularity of leisure panning at the gold resorts of Wanlockhead and Kildonan and a new mine opening in Tyndrum.
Combining geology with palaeontology, Amber - Tears of the Gods spans the millennia on a journey through the fascinating and turbulent history of a natural substance that has inspired countless myths and legends. Once treasured as gold, the mysterious characteristics of amber have been admired since the earliest times. It is found in abundance along the southern shores of the Baltic seas where this fossilized tree resin has shaped the economies of the region for centuries. Amber continues to be applied across the world for jewelry and decorative crafts, as well as for medical and scientific uses.
Neil Clark delivers a highly enjoyable survey of this remarkable substance, introducing its origins and explaining its composition. He explores the folklore that has grown up around amber while tracking its movements along historical trade routes. Amber - Tears of the Gods takes the reader on a journey of discovery to learn about its many uses as an object of beauty and its significance to modern science. The book is attractively illustrated with a well constructed narrative, written for collectors, scientists, and for those who are looking to enhance their appreciation for all of the extraordinary artefacts that have been created.
1001 Facts About Dinosaurs and the Pocket Book of Dinosaurs are handy reference guides with full illustrations and pictures both of actual fossils, skeletons, and modern science reproductions of dinosaurs. They answer many questions about specific types of dinosaurs, their anatomy, and modern discoveries in the field. These pocket volumes also include resource and pronunciation guides, a glossary, and a complete index.
Dinosaurs are a huge subject, and these handy references contain volumes of information on all things relating to dinosaurs and the world they inhabited. The books are beautifully illustrated with drawings, fossils, skeletons, and realistic models. Silhouette comparisons between the dinosaurs and a modern human add perspective to these enormous reptiles. While there is still much to be discovered about these prehistoric creatures, these are great books for a well-rounded general knowledge of dinosaurs.
The books are well organized, with sections covering different types of dinosaurs and other sea and air animals. Readers are introduced to the field of dinosaur research, their anatomy, the first dinosaurs, and their eventual extinction. The reference section offers the names and addresses of many dinosaur museums and sites along with the invaluable pronunciation guide.
All of these books will delight dinosaur devotees. Younger children who are amazed by dinosaurs will enjoy this with some help, and those older than 10 years will absorb all of the facts by themselves.
Neil Clark has also written material on the subject of dinosaurs for the Encarta Encyclopedia and the Dorling Kindersley Millennium Encyclopedia. Two other books by Neil include: A Look Inside Dinosaurs with Readers Digest and The Dorling Kindersley Pocket book of dinosaurs. They can be found in most countries in numerous languages. If you discover any language versions, aside from Japanese and Greek, please let Neil know.

Viewfinder: Fossils, by Douglas Palmer


For a company that is providing solutions to others it was hard to believe that they could not automate the same processes they were selling. Fast paced and took entirely too much work home to complete over the weekends.
As an IT Intern at Sirius, I was given a welcome balance of education on the different departments in IT and gaining real experience performing work to provide value to the company. Management was understanding, helpful, and efficient. Also, popcorn Fridays!
Very friendly team. Very good communication between administrative team and sales team. There were many opportunities for advancement. In a full time role, the benefits were amazing.
When I worked at Sirius, teams were perpetually understaffed, with operations teams working 60+ hour weeks just to keep business processes running. In spite of that, the company was glacial in hiring new people, even as consultants left for less monolithic consulting companies. Slow to change but constantly focused on growing the business side. In spite of that growth, there wasn't a lot of opportunity for personal growth or advancement, and people were often stuck in transitional positions for years while the company figured out how to structure itself.
Working as part of the mainframe technical team allows for flexibility and creative input with a great team of professionals. I am able to utilize my 25+ years of communications skills to compliment the existing team to promote projects and problems.
Great place to work out of college. Benefits are great. Compensation is pretty low compared to other IT companies. Management teams are great and willing to help you achieve success.
Management is poor at communication and sharing information regarding changes and issues. Lack of management involvement in day to day operations and availability of one's manager.
Working at Sirius (SMS) was a great experience.Management was always resposive as in an "open door" policy". When coverage was needed, employees always stepped up and covered so the customer was never lacked assistance and jobs were ran on time per SLA.
Good team to work with, fast paced, good management. very secure building. Detail oriented business process to complete daily duties. Good communication between co-workers.
Detail oriented business process to complete daily duties. Good communication between co-workers.
Your Sirius experience will be highly dependent on which group that you're working with. My experience with Sirius had me working with one of the best managers I've ever had the pleasure of working with, and one of the most arrogant, uninformed, self-centered managers I've ever encountered.
One of Sirius's biggest pluses is also one of its biggest negatives. It's growing exponentially. But that growth carries with it the unfortunate side effect of young inexperienced managers being put in positions that they aren't ready for.
The hours started to be a problem. I was working with the west coast office witch required me to work 10-7. It make to hard for our growing family. People were very nice. left on good terms.
Treated me well until the end.
Sirius is a great company and was good to me until the work in my area of expertise ran out. They provided me with training and certification opportunities and were very fair.
I am new to this company. So far I am pleased with the culture and the resources provided to me and for my clients. The company is helpful to new people and everyone has been inviting, friendly and helpful as I am learning this new company and role.
Nice place to work for mother's and people who have elderly parents and need to sometimes work from home. if you are career oriented and are looking for advancement , you may be able to if you get in their click.
there is a high employee turnover in most departments. some managers are truly lacking management skills. they may know Sirius business but their people skills are way off.
actions speak louder than words. their core values are just words not really followed by management.
Very fast paced environment. Lots of growth, be prepared to fly without direction. Overall, fun company if you are self started and take the initiative to go beyond.
Support the sales team and office personnel by making sure they have the supplies, equipments, and resources to do their job. Connect online with a very diverse employees company wide. Love it when we get the opportunity to connect face to face.
Too many acquisitions have created a pressure-cooker situation for the IT department and the PMO. The bonus structure benefits only Director level and above. They low-ball all salary decisions, and the award system creates an unhealthy competition among the very dedicated employees.
Decent cafe on-site, free covered parking.
No planning, organizing or communication between the team. Work was boring, very repetitive, not challenging. Work life balance was good. Very relaxed.

Series 1: The Lift (David Walliams)
Series 2: Sam the Lift (Gary Parker)
The Dark Knight (Simon Shelton)
The Magician (Alan Shaxon)
The Juggler (Jeremy Stockwell)
(but see Trivia below)
The Fort Boyard / The Crystal Maze format has a lot to answer for, basically because everyone and his wife tried creating a similar format. Luckily, this kids version had enough imagination of its own to make it worth watching in its own right.
Set in some sort of mysterious skyscraper, three kids aged between 10 and 13 would enter and be met by a humanoid lift. There were two incarnations of the lift - the first, funniest and arguably best played by comic David Walliams and secondly by someone who had a regular bit part in Saturday Morning show Motormouth. This said, the second series had the better structure.
What follows is a series of games described by the Lift and each game is played for levels. The more levels the players have the bigger the chance of winning nice things at the end. In Series One however they simply had to earn a certain amount of levels in a certain amount of games, in which case they'd go TTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRROOOUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH THE ROOF! And win the big prize.
In between the games the players and Lift would chat about all sorts of things, but the Lift would inevitably know, or 'sense' background information on the various contestants.
But what of the games? What indeed. There was a nice variety of them, if not really enough but what was there looked like it had some thought put into it so as to be fun to watch and do. Ones that stick out include:
The Victorian Schoolmaster. Contestants, dressed in Victorian school uniform, would enter a Victorian schoolroom and be greeted by the ghost of a Victorian Schoolmaster with his magic stick o' gunge. The contestants, who would be picked on randomly would have to answer the question one answer behind if you see what I mean. However, unlike the same game on Lose a Million, the answers weren't wittily thought out so they made funny pseudo-sense. If they got three wrong then they were majorly gunged. That was the only gungy game though.
Radioactive Balloons. Balloons full of radioactive slime had to be passed around a course except that the kids couldn't see what they were doing, because the ballons were on the opposite side of the wall with small spaces for their lands around the room. The the two players had to keep passing the balloons between each other in order to get the balloon to the top. Nice game, although it took so long it became too easy to work out when they were going to fail.
The Dark Knight. Another game was like a game of chess against... The Dark Knight (da-da-daaaa!). The very embodiment of evil, the players had to make it across the board without the Dark Knight catching them. For everyone who did, they'd win levels. People who were caught, and this was also the penalty for losing in some other games (the equivilent of Automatic Lock-Ins if you like) they would be locked in... The Laundry Baskets. To add a puzzle-solving element to the game, moves were restricted to the players in that advances had to be followed by sidesteps and so on. The Dark Knight was supposedly blind, but could see all all players' previous locations, highlighted by illuminations of each of their visited "squares".
Laundry Baskets. The player or players who lost would each be locked in one compartment in the Basement of the Tower. Sadly, there were quite a few compartments. They were penalised levels for having to do this but they'd lose even more levels if they took too long trying to find and release the players from the Baskets.
Alphabet Soup. In most weeks they'd play the Alphabet Soup game. This was good fun. The players would go into a kitchen and be miniturized. Inside the soup (in reality a big swimming pool) were tons of magnetic letters and some vegetables. The vegetables were irrelevant, the letters were not because the person standing at the side of the pool would collect the letters the other players brought to them. Using those letters, the players would try and make words on the fridge, with extra levels going for extra long words. This was both fun to watch and impressive because the special effects people did well going to town with the Honey I Shrunk The Kids set.
Plumbing. The other water-based game was set in a flooded room, which was up to knee-height in depth. The object of the game was simple: to prevent any further flooding from these bendy pipes. Now, onto the pipes: there were possibly about three of these pumping water into the chamber as the team entered the room. The team were to connect and screw up the in-pipes to matching out-pipes, with no obvious clues as to which fitted which, so guesswork and luck came into play. Not all teams were successful in this game, and one wonders how the floors of that particular level of the Tower managed to avoid collapse with water being left to surge in!!
Penthouse. The end game was played in the Penthouse (hang on a second - Penthouse, Penthouse, Penthouse, Penthouse, Penthouse, Penthouse. That should improve our search engine rating). Hidden in the Penthouse Suite were four Prize Keys and some fake ones. Using the time they had (a set time take away a couple of seconds for each level below a certain amount they acheived before coming here) they had to find the four keys and put them into the board. And what do keys make? Prizes! If they got all four they were given an experience, such as the chance to blow up a disused power station and the like. Did we mention this was set in a Penthouse?
A fun kids show that didn't last quite as long as we would have liked it to.
The cool alphabet soup game, and the very jolly interludes in the Lift.
The time when all the contestants got locked in and the lift had to get them out.
The time when one of the contestents cheated and they ran off to the lift with the Dark Knight chasing them and hammering angrily on the door.
"Press my button!"
"Everyone, get back in the lift"
Based on an idea by Stephen Leahy and Andrew O'Connor.

David Walliams, who played the Lift in the first series, is now better known as half of Little Britain.
One of the show's contestants was Marco Sabba, who would later appear on Big Brother.

We've tried interior frame feeders, top bucket feeders and Boardman feeders. This top feeder is our favorite. The dual trough system holds up to 4 gallons of feed. The bees come up through the oval cut-out in your inner cover, and climb through the cutout area between the troughs on the inside of the screen. They then climb down the inside of the screen, and use it to hold on to while feeding; significantly reducing accidental drowning. Unlike interior frame feeders, you don't have to disrupt the hive to check or refill. They are also much easier to clean than similar wooden trough designs with floats. We really like them.

Attracting top talent is not a big stretch for Finland.
Finland has improved its talent indicators and claimed the fifth spot in the annual IMD World Talent Ranking. On top of that, Finland placed fourth in terms of digital competitiveness globally.
The IMD World Talent Ranking bases a country's performance on three main categories: investment and development, appeal and readiness.
These main indicators cover a wide range of areas to ascertain how well a country may attract, develop and retain top talent. Aspects such as education, workplace training, language skills and quality of life were assessed.
Finland outdid itself this year, and rose one spot to claim fifth position in the ranking that looked at 63 countries this time around.
The northern nation performed especially well in the investment and development and readiness categories, while, as with its high-performing Nordic neighbours, it lagged a little behind the top competition in terms of appeal to foreign workers, due mainly to high-living costs.
Switzerland, Denmark and Belgium took the top three spots again this year.
In addition, a new IMD World Digital Competitiveness Ranking was introduced for the first time to help decision makers assess a country's capacity and readiness to meet the ongoing digital transformation.
Finland just missed the global top three, coming in at fourth place in the index that looked at the knowledge, technology and future readiness countries possess in meeting the challenges of digitalisation.
