Rapid – Press Releases – EUROPA: "The Commission evaluates the implementation of EU law on attacks against information systems in Member States
Reference: IP/08/1125 Date: 10/07/2008 "
Vice-President Barrot, Commissioner responsible for Justice, Freedom and Security, has welcomed the good level of implementation of Framework Decision 2005/222 in a large majority of the Member States, but at the same time expressed his concern that six Member States have still not presented any implementation measures.
The objective of the Framework Decision is to improve cooperation between judicial and other competent authorities through approximating rules on criminal law in the Member States, mainly regarding illegal access to information systems, illegal system interference and illegal data interference. The report provides a first insight into Member States' implementation of the Framework Decision and confirms that it has been relatively well implemented in the 20 Member States that have notified national implementation provisions to the Commission.
Member States were under an obligation to provide the Commission with full information on the implementation by 15 March 2007. Malta, Slovakia and Spain have however neither transmitted any information on the implementation nor replied to a reminder sent out by the Commission in 2007. Ireland, Greece and the United Kingdom have notified the Commission that the implementation has yet to be finalised.
"Recent successive criminal attacks against information systems, in particular the massive attacks directed against Estonian information infrastructures in 2007, underline the need for a closer European coordination of responses to such attacks. I call on the Member States that have not given full effect to the Framework Decision to correct this situation as soon as possible", said Vice-President Barrot.

In the category Hinged bottom skips we offer you products of the following brands: EUROKRAFTpro .
A very popular colleague: big mouth but open to anything. And when they're loaded, they let out everything in one go what's weighing them down – that's right, bottom emptying skips are indispensable for collecting and recycling waste.
While, at first glance, they look like rough contemporaries, their trick is in their versatility, combined with reliable and clever operation. Hinged bottom skips are middle steel containers with smooth walls or mesh for collecting, storing, providing and transporting all kinds of bulk materials that occur in a company: cardboard, glass, metal, wood. Once they are full, a crane or a stacker lifts them up by the series of eyelets attached at the top and transports them to be emptied. This is done quite simply by unlocking the bottom plate by pulling a cable from the driver's cab – in contrast to with tilting skips or dispensing hoppers, for example – in less than a second. And exactly vertical into a large container, tipper or pit. Practical: the flap then closes automatically again when placed on a pallet or the ground.
The robust hinged bottom skips from KAISER+KRAFT are made of hot dip galvanised steel painted in various RAL colours. We supply models for volumes between 0.5 and 2 cubic metres, which corresponds to a max. load between 1,000 and 2,000 kilos. The versions for heavy loads have two bottom flaps. And for all types, it's ''Safety first''. The securing device with a strong steel chain protects against unintentional slipping and tilting. Regardless of the max. load, four hinged bottom skips can be stacked on top of each other – unless they have wheels: if needed, swivel and fixed castors can also be fitted to these all rounders.
On request, hinged bottom skips can be supplied with a lid, for use outdoors or to make sure that recycled waste is kept separated when collected, for example. Their versatility make these practical multi-purpose containers the most popular attachments for stackers. You're also certain to find a model for your requirements in our range.

Brief Summary
Rinker needed to fill a gap on their lineup that existed between their 18' (5.5m) and 21' (6.4) models and were able to do so with the new 196 Captivas, of which there are two versions, one a sterndrive and the other an outboard. The separate versions also help Rinker appeal to a wider audience. We recently tested Rinkers latest offerings against the gorgeous backdrop of the historic Portage Point Inn just off of Lake Michigan and came away with an interesting mix of the old and the new.

Port thief had homemade balaclava and hosepipe
"IF the gardaí hadn't stopped him we don't know what might have happened," said Judge Alan Mitchell, sentencing to prison a Portarlington man who was caught on two different dates while out on bail with implements that could be used in the course of a burglary.
Last week's district court heard that Michael O'Connor, with addresses listed at Ballymorris Manor and Station Grove, Port, was caught on one occasion with a length of hosepipe, which gardaí suggested was going to be used to syphon fuel from a vehicle.
Inspector Declan Dunne gave evidence that on December 1 last year, at Canal Road, Port, gardaí were alerted to a vehicle parked outside a house, where two men were observed throwing a length of hosepipe over the premises' gate. The inspector said there was a truck parked on the other side of the gate and the men, one of whom was O'Connor, had such implements as a screwdriver, a chisel and a five gallon drum with them.
On February 10 this year, again at Canal Road, gardaí came across the defendant and O'Connor attempted to evade the officers. He was observed throwing something into a hedge, which Insp Dunne said was a homemade balaclava.
O'Connor was charged with two counts of having possession of certain articles with intent to commit a crime. He has 32 previous convictions, and was out on bail when he committed the latest offences. His solicitor, Mr Philip Meagher explained that his client is also facing charges in Tullamore and Letterkenny.
"His history of previous convictions speaks for itself," admitted Mr Meagher. "He has a long-standing and entrenched drug habit and was on five to six bags of heroin a day."
Mr Meagher said that O'Connor had received treatment in the past, but had relapsed and fallen into old ways.
"He was robbing to feed his habit," said Mr Meagher.
Defence went on to say that O'Connor has since detoxed and "doesn't know himself".
"The gardaí, through their good work, stopped something that may have occurred," he said.
Judge Mitchell agreed that, but for the gardaí, "we don't know what might have happened". He imposed two four-month sentences, consecutive.

Although the regulator raised third-party cover rates this year, the increasing deployment of technology will help drive down motor insurance premiums.
Some experts suggest that rates could drop by as much as half thanks to the use of devices such as immobilisers, rear view cameras, speed governors, telematics dongles that boost safety and mobile apps that capture driving behavior.
Besides this, more stringent rules will result in features such as anti-lock braking systems (ABS) becoming a standard fitment on all cars. "Anybody giving proof of safety measures is rewarded with discount of up to 50% depending on make and model of the vehicle," said Vijay Kumar, president, motor insurance, Bajaj Allianz General Insurance.
In India, the motor insurance premium is pegged at 1-1.5% of the sum assured as against 4-4.5% in the UK. High-end cars in India command a discount of as much as 50% on the sum assured as most of them sport a number of tech devices that reduce risk.
Indian auto manufacturers are laying greater emphasis on technology to make their vehicles safer after reports that base models suffered greatly in this respect during crash tests and in anticipation of the rule changes.
Where installed, anti-theft devices, speed governors and ABS are said to have had an effect on safety. For instance, fewer Hondas are being stolen after the company began fitting an immobiliser in all its cars.
Insurers are moving beyond just looking at the loss experience with a particular make and model and geography to incorporate behaviour-based information to analyse risk. They are moving from a protection to a prevention model.

Cinema Latino de Phoenix
7611 W. Thomas Road,
1 person favorited this theater
Located in the Desert Sky Mall in southwest Phoenix, this non-stadium style theater features six smallish auditoriums that show first-run films either with Spanish subtitles or dubbed in Spanish. They recently installed a 3D projector in one of the auditoriums. They cater to the Hispanic-American crowd and are very popular, especially on Sunday afternoons, although they don't draw the crowds they used to. It's fun to watch the patrons, especially the young men dressed in bolo ties, cowboy hats and pointy cowboy boots.

1998-2003? Desert Sky Mall 6, owned by Harkins Theaters.
2003? Spanish subtitiles or dubbed in Spanish.
Don't they show any made in Spanish Language films?
More info or photos??
This theatre opened in 1981 as the Westridge Cinemas, first run theatres inside the brand new Westridge Mall on the west side of Phoenix. It had an exterior entrance and an entrance inside the mall. In the 90s, the mall changed its name to Desert Sky Mall and the theatre adopted the same name. In the 2000s the theatre became Cinema Latino. There is no longer mall acess to the theatre and only the exterior entrance.
I believe this was previously a General Cinema Theatre.
I worked as an usher here in 1988 while going to college. There are/were 2 ramps (from the mall & exterior entrance) that lead down into the center snack bar. Which is circular shaped. And the theaters were split into 2 hallways, 3 on each side. I remember 3 Men & A Baby playing for most of that year, I can still recite the dialogue of the last 5 minutes. We also had midnight movies on the weekends, including Rocky Horror & Heavy Metal. At some point, I was allowed to make popcorn, which was made upstairs in a room next to the booth. We popped about a week's worth of corn and stored it in plastic trash bags, yumm.
May 21st, 1982 grand opening ad as Westridge Cinema in photo section.
They're now called Sonora Cinemas — same management, though, I believe. They're in the process of renovating the lobby and adding several new auditoriums.

City Hall scholarships for two young Newham musicians
PUBLISHED: 12:12 22 October 2012
Marcus Lyon
Two talented young primary school musicians from Newham have won London-wide scholarships to carry on their passion.
In the second round of Mayor's Music Scholarships to be given out, Teodora Paduret, nine, and Hiba Qureshi, 10, joined 100 schoolchildren from across the capital at a special ceremony at City Hall last month.
Teodora, who plays the flute, is a pupil at Winsor Primary School in Beckton while Hiba, who attends Nelson Primary School in East Ham, plays the cello.
Both talented youngsters were recommended by the scholarship through the Newham Academy of Music where they take lessons and they also got to meet British classical double bass player and Mayor's Fund for Young Musicians patron Chi-chi Nwanoku.
The scholarshops offer Teodora and Hiba a minimum of 2.5 hours provision per week, weekly tuition, group lessons with no more than six players, classes at a weekend centre, regular performance opportunities and chances to see professional concerts, a named mentor, and access to instruments they can take home.
They are among 66 talented schoolchildren aged seven to 11 to receive a Mayor's Music Scholarship in January.
Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, said: "We know that learning a musical instrument can have a powerful impact on a child's life, helping in their social, emotional and academic development.
"Sadly, too many families in London cannot afford to pay for music lessons, even for very talented children.
"By investing in these scholarships, the Fund is enriching the lives of hundred of children and also making sure London remains the top city in the world for all kinds of music.
"I wish the Fund and the 66 talented scholars every success."
Ginny Greenwood, Mayor's Fund for Young Musicians chief executive, said: "Thanks to the enormous generosity of individuals and businesses around London, these talented children, who would have to stop learning without external financial support, will now receive four years of instrumental tuition both at school and at Saturday morning music centre, as well as the opportunity to perform and attend concerts.
"Our ambition is to raise enough money every year to fund at least 150 four year scholarships - a commitment of £600,000 - so that by 2016 600 children will be benefitting from the scheme."

Providence, Rhode Island is truly a great city to visit and kick back in its hotels, which range from traditional to trendy. Providence attractions — indoors, outdoors, and on the water — seem custom-made for couples in love. If you're planning a trip to Providence, choose one of her most romantic hotels to get the most out of a Rhode Island getaway.
With 564 rooms, this is one of the larger hotels in Providence for romantics thanks to the uplifting views of the skyline. We also like it because there's an indoor swimming pool, indoor fitness kit plus access to the Capital Club Fitness Center, free wi-fi and pets are allowed.
This hotel was conceived as a grand Masonic temple. Neo-Classical in style and poised between the equally dignified state capitol and the heart of downtown Providence, its future was aborted when the Depression descended and construction funds dried up. The shell sat empty for 78 years, yet was listed on the National Register of Historic Places despite the urban decay that plagued it. Thanks to a $100 million dollar investment, the building was transformed into an elegant, state-of-the-art property. Today the upscale hotel, with its 272 rooms, trendy Temple Downtown restaurant, funky-goth-intimate lounge, and an entire floor dedicated to weddings, has assumed a prominent spot on the Providence skyline and in the life of the city.
A professionally managed downtown hotel with an ideal location and a classy lobby, the restored Hotel Providence is located in a part of the city on the National Register of Historic Places. It combines a turn-of-the-century New England flavor with 21st-century Green Certification. Each room features original artwork, sumptuous textiles, and tiger maple wood accents. The hotel perennially earns a Four-Diamond rating from AAA and is proudly gay-friendly.
Grand dame of the Providence skyline, this member of Historic Hotels of America has kept up with the times thanks to a recent renovation and the addition of an Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa. Like many older hotels, the size of its guest rooms is larger than those in newer properties planned by revenue-management types. But like a fussy dowager afraid the upholstery may get soiled, the hotel does not permit pets on the property.
This 52-room boutique hotel does a good job of conveying Providence's artistic spirit. Many of the items in the hotel were created by city artisans and others in the Northeast. Rooms vary, from dorm-like ones with bunk beds (not romantic!) to The Guardian Suite, with its king-size bed, 200 cable channels, black bathroom, and custom-made sundries. Free wi-fi.
Located in Warwick, 15 miles outside Providence, NYLO is one of a new breed of hip boutique hotels, reasonably priced and eco-sensitive. Although the accommodations -- generally under $100 a night -- may remind some of an upscale college dorm room, the gathering place in the lobby is extraordinary. Named The Loft, it's a restaurant-cum-lounge with an ultra-long, undulating bar and decor that creates its own reality, a cross between Pee Wee's Playhouse and the undersea world. Intrigued? Then detour to Warwick to experience the next wave in travel.

The parliamentary commission of inquiry into the presidential elections of 2009 has as an objective ascertaining the possible extent of involvement on the part of institutions or persons in the possible tampering of the result, and establishing measures to be taken, including to notify competent authorities to verify the possible breaking of the law. The conclusions of the inquiry will be included in a final report that will be sent to the Joint Standing Bureaus within 60 days after the commission is set up.
According to the draft decision on the setting up of the parliamentary commission of inquiry, its objectives include: ascertaining the possible involvement of institutions and/or persons – other than those legally entitled – in the organising of the elections; ascertaining the potential extent of involvement of institutions and/or persons in the possible tampering of the result of the presidential elections; establishing the measures to be taken, including to notify competent authorities to verify the possible breaking of legal provisions at the time the presidential elections of 2009 were organised; verifying the legality of procuring the IT applications and/or services that the Central Electoral Office used to tally the results of the vote; verifying the correctness of the way the results of the vote were tallied; verifying the way in which the Special Telecommunications Service provided special telephony, voice and data communication services, as well as possible illegitimate interference with the electoral process.
Other objectives of the parliamentary commission of inquiry are: verifying the documents received from the Standing Electoral Authority and the Central Electoral Office in view of electronic archival services offered by the electronic archival service provider contracted; verifying the way ballots, control stamps, voting stamps as well as the rest of the materials required in the voting process were distributed by the Foreign Ministry to polling stations located abroad; verifying the way the results of the vote in polling stations abroad were secured and the way in which the information was relayed to the Central Electoral Office.
The findings, conclusions and proposals of the commission will be included in a final report that will be filed with the Joint Standing Bureaus of the Lower Chamber and the Senate within a period of 60 days after the commission is set up.
The commission will consist of 7 representatives from PSD, 3 from PNL, 2 from USR and 1 representative each from UDMR, ALDE and PMP.
The Joint Standing Bureaus of the Lower Chamber and the Senate have decided to put up for vote in the next joint plenary meeting a draft decision that sets up a commission of inquiry into the presidential elections of 2009. The vote will take place next Wednesday.
Dragnea: PNL, USR and PMP opposed commission of inquiry into 2009 presidential elections; Parliament must find out the truth
Lower Chamber Speaker Liviu Dragnea stated on Thursday, at the Palace of Parliament, that PNL, USR and PMP opposed the draft decision on the setting up of a parliamentary commission of inquiry into the presidential elections of 2009, even though, in his opinion, the Legislative must try to bring the truth to light in this issue.
"The draft decision that will be sent to the plenum and that will be adopted – I hope – on Wednesday, April 26, has been approved today, after just 45 minutes of debate. PNL, USR and PMP made several observations, saying they would oppose this draft decision because it should be supplemented by several amendments or should be clearer. Some colleagues said that Parliament does not allegedly have the right to investigate these aspects that have already appeared in the media," Liviu Dragnea added at the end of the Joint Standing Bureaus' meeting.
The PSD President pointed out that Parliament has every right to investigate such cases, according to its Regulations and to constitutional provisions. "With this information appearing in the public space, Parliament can't help but take note of this and try to bring to light the truth or at least part of the truth, in the hope that at least some of those who will be called before the committee will show up and if they do they will state everything they know," the PSD leader added.
The Lower Chamber's and the Senate's Joint Standing Bureaus decided on Thursday to send to the joint plenum a draft decision that would set up a commission of inquiry that would investigate whether persons or institutions got illegally involved in organising and influencing the result of the presidential elections of 2009.
Raluca Turcan: Inquiry commission set up by PSD-ALDE-Basescu coalition is targeting the DNA Chief
PNL President Raluca Turcan believes that the setting up of a commission of inquiry into the presidential elections of 2009 is targeting DNA Chief Prosecutor Laura Codruta Kovesi, whom the Dragnea-Tariceanu-Basescu trio want to see replaced at the DNA's helm.
Raluca Turcan claims that the real reason behind the setting up of the commission of inquiry is not the way the elections were organised and the potential unlawful interference on the part of some state institutions.
"Contrary to what PSD-ALDE presented, the real purpose of the commission of inquiry is not related to the alleged rigging of the presidential elections. This is only a pretext that the Dragnea-Tariceanu-Basescu trio is using, knowing full well that the Constitutional Court's 2009 decision to validate the elections renders the finality of this commission nil. At that moment, PSD made special efforts to prove its fraud accusations and lamentably failed in presenting evidence," Turcan said.
On the other hand, the PNL President pointed out that the Liberals will back the overture provided the parliamentary majority manages to present "concrete and conclusive elements" that would justify another investigation into this issue.
However, Raluca Turcan believes the commission's purpose is completely different. "The anti-DNA coalition formed by the mentioned trio is planning for the activity of the commission of inquiry to target DNA Chief Laura Codruta Kovesi. Because they lack sufficient courage and justifiable elements to propose the setting up of such a commission of inquiry, formally, they preferred to turn into investigators of some elections that are a closed topic. (…) This is the real finality of PSD-ALDE-Basescu's political overtures: intimidating and controlling the judiciary," the PNL President concluded.
Nicusor Dan: Standing Bureaus did not discuss whether commission of inquiry into 2009 presidential elections is good or not
USR President Nicusor Dan stated at a press conference on Thursday that the Save Romania Union (USR), PMP and PNL protested during the Joint Standing Bureaus meeting against the fact that the draft decision on the setting up of a parliamentary commission of inquiry into the 2009 presidential elections is a technical draft decision that contains 10 articles and they did not have sufficient time to study it. The Lower Chamber lawmaker pointed out that there was no discussion on the essence of the issue, on whether this commission is good or not.
"I attended the Standing Bureau meeting. There was a technical discussion. USR, PNL and PMP protested against the fact that Parliament's draft decision arrived one minute before the debate. It's a four-page draft, a technical draft with ten articles. None of us had the possibility to study it. What each of us demanded was for the political parties that did not see this draft to be given a period of a few days, for us to return to the Standing Bureau and to debate it, to send a coherent issue in Parliament, at the joint session of the Lower Chamber and Senate," the leader of USR's Lower Chamber lawmakers pointed out.
Nicusor Dan added that at the Joint Standing Bureaus' meeting there was no discussion on the essence of the issue, on whether this commission is good or not.

Alyn Smith MEP, Scottish full member of the European Parliament's Agriculture Committee, has hailed the Committee for backing his amendment today allowing for important derogations to the sheep EID laws.
The amendment, which was backed by the Shetland crofters and the National Sheep Association, passed through the committee stage of the Animal Health Law by 28 votes to 12: it allows sheep farmers the option of only tagging their sheep once with a manual tag, and with a holding number instead of an individual identification number, until the sheep leaves the holding of birth, at which point the normal rules (double tagging with an electronic tag and an individual ID number) will apply. It is essentially the same derogation as the one currently existing for lambs going straight to slaughter within 12 months.
The reforms to the sheep EID regime are designed to mitigate the effects of the uncertain state of technology by increasing read rates (Scot EID estimate that read rates decline by 3% every 600 days); focusing inspection resources on sheep movements where the risk of disease spreading is greatest; improve animal welfare outcomes by reducing the chances of ear damage from tags; and reducing costs for farmers, while also reducing the potential for unfair and disproportionate cross compliance penalty reductions. The amending process works in parallel to a scientific study commissioned by the Scottish Government and put together by the EPIC centre on animal disease outbreaks on the implications of this derogation.
Alyn also successfully passed amendments which would ensure that new proposals on animal identification, such as any future decision to make cattle EID mandatory, will have to be made through full legislation, with full participation of the European Parliament, rather than through the murky and unaccountable procedure of delegated acts.
The animal health law will now be voted on by the full session of the Parliament next month, followed by negotiations with Council and Commission.
Alyn said:
"While it's important not to get too carried away, as this is just one stage in the legislative process, I think this is a very important moment in the battle to make sheep EID workable on the ground: it shows that there is considerable political will in the European Parliament to re-open the discussions on the sheep EID laws, and that the Commission have to deal with this, and the problems that farmers are finding in implementing the rules.
"Throughout my travels in Scotland sheep farmers have emphasised to me again and again that this particular derogation would do the most use for them. They understand the need for traceability and disease control, but control efforts must be focused on the times of greatest risks - when the animals move. The added value of this technology only exists to a much lesser extent when the animal is still on the farm at birth. As well as reducing unnecessary burdens on farmers, we can rationalise and prioritise our public inspection resources as well.
"As one of Scotland's representatives in Brussels, I'm determined to show that the political system can respond to the clear needs of one of our important sectors. Today is the first step in that process."
Hilary Liebeschuetz, Animal Health Schemes Officer, Shetland Island Council, said:
"This is a very encouraging piece of news for Scottish sheep producers. The European Parliament's Agricultural Committee has passed this amendment, demonstrating that they have recognised the need for changes in the EID regulation.
"After years of working to raise awareness of the negative impacts of the regulation, this is most welcome, and I wish Alyn and his team every success as they take this amendment forward through the votes and negotiations ahead."

their Human Resource (HR) Department is
Not working efficiently
due to which the company in not getting maximum from employees. As I Noticed
the employees are very capable and experienced but, due to
Weak HR department
their efficiency is very Low.
Problem Statement:
of HR Practices"
Literature review
Human Resource Development (HRD) is the
structure for helping representatives builds up their own and organizational
skills, information, and capacities. The concentration of all parts of Human
Resource Development is on building up the most unrivaled workforce with the
goal that the association and individual representatives can achieve their work
objectives in support of customers. (Susan M. Heathfield)
Carefully selecting employees doesn't guarantee
they will perform effectively. Even high potential employees can't do their
jobs if they don't know what to do or how to do. Making sure your employees do
know what to do and how to do it is the purpose of orientation and
training.(Garry Dessler)
Human resource strategy is basically a strategy
made to manage the workforce and also the designing of jobs to proper utilize
the workforce. Human resource dept. is connected with all other departments and
helps the organization in implementation of production plans, operations plans,
marketing and sales plans and financial plans. It manages the workforce to
achieve all these plans and HR department have full eye of the working of all
the employees. (Jay Heizer)
Individuals resemble shaded glass, they
sparkle and sparkle in daylight, and however their real magnificence turn out
from inside, when there is dim outside. The productive and capable individual
has his spot in group by his endeavors while a weak or disable individual make
the entire group disturbed and the works suffer. (Elisabeth Kubler-Ross)
Hax (1985) underlined the basic piece of HR
system by determining that for keeping up the firm finished the long time and achieving
long connection with clients, HR methodology is imperative to make and follow
up on particularly composed objectives and to make certain effective
arrangements or techniques. It is taken as an essential some portion of
affiliation's corporate and business level frameworks. HR designs ought to
accord to condition of organization yet this arranging ought to be for a drawn
out stretch of time. The Recruiting, selecting, training, estimation of
execution, organization are the activities which are doing in supervision of stakeholders
or concerning people. Specialized or Expertise people are worried about the
expert check and adjust on exercises furthermore, preparing programs for the
people who join their association. (Baron et al)
As described by Edwards and Pearce (1988) Human
resource arranging is particularly essential for rising, fast develop and
transforming business. Transforming business requiring new products,
administration, markets, acquisitions or divestitures ought to in like manner
intend to perceive, attract or then again reallocate the capacity essential for
renewal and continued with Contention. For satisfying getting ready and job
change needs of representatives and fulfilling administration demands, movement
organizing and association advancement possess have a basic part. The in-house supply
of work is more than required, this issue of asset modification ought to be
Capable administration increases the
proficiency of organization. Effectives
of representatives increment the general execution of organization and help the
organization to accomplish their objectives in due time. In most recent fifty
years there are numerous theories by various creators which are demonstrating
that great authority impact the entirety administration and increase the
effectiveness of company. In the time of worldwide rivalry it is fundamental
for an association to pick such leadership to contend with alternate
organizations or organization want to make due in current time of today
business condition. Researchers are putting worry to pick dynamic and able
authority since worker execution and authority are specifically corresponding,
if authority is great, worker will buckle down and if authority is week then
worker won't perform appropriately which have terrible effect on an
organization. (Oluseyi et al., 2009)
Speamerfam (2011) presenting a clear picture in
words that utilizing the best capacity for the affiliation is the activity of
HR division. HR helps the association to pick the best and reasonable
individual for a required post. HR inspects the individual before his choice
and furthermore check the capacities of that individual.
The basic purpose of human resource management is to get maximum from
a person. It was noticed that there was no proper check and balance on employees
at "PEEF". HR department is not paying serious attention towards checking the
working and performance of employees. In result they are failing to get maximum
from employee, which is damaging and slowing the performance of "PEEF".
It is also the duty of HR department to hire a right person for a
right place. But at "PEEF" there is no implementation of merit in some cases.
As many employees are getting jobs on the base of relationships with any other employee
of organization. And in case of relationship merit is totally ignored and
non-capable persons are getting jobs in company sometimes.
They don't have enough workforce or labor in some department and
then Contract Workers are hired for some specific tasks or projects. It is the
responsibility of HR dept to check the deficiency of work force and manage new workers
for required post but HR dept is not properly focusing on such things and not
helping "PEEF" to cover the necessary gaps.
There is no system of incentives to employees which play a vital
role in motivating the employees.
It is the duty of HR department to check the performances of employees
and give them incentives and rewards on their achievements and should motivate
them. As their HR department is not active in such things so employees are not
working properly and showing lack of interest in working.
At PEEF required vacancies are not getting fill in time and key
business capacities and operations are getting influenced and have a bad impact
on growth of organization. Same Hierarchy level is not followed in some
Human resource department is like a bridge between employer and employee.
It helps employee to reduce his tension and work load and on the other side it
helps employees to communicate with employer.
There is no proper internal communication channel at "PEEF". Inter
departmental conflicts can also harm the inner environment of company which can
affect the productivity of organization.
It has been observed that HRM is not working properly for management
of Human Capital. There are no proper job descriptions.
No goals or targets are given to employees except the contract
workers due to which they don't work properly.
Hard working attitudes are getting influenced due to above
mentioned reasons. They are not properly getting utilize from their human capital
and abilities of experienced workers.
A weak HR administration system has damaging outcomes for an
association. It influences the execution of a business and the profitability
levels of workers.
For a healthy environment it is necessary to organize get to
gathers, meetings or any other activities for refreshment of employees. HR dept.
is not active for organizing get to gathers or any other social activity of employees.
Due to which employees are getting mentally disturbed and bored with routine.
There should be proper check and balance on
employees. HR
department should keep view on every single
activity of employees.
They should work on this Principle "Right
Person on Right
Job". It is necessary for every successful
HR department should make a monthly report on
progress of each employee individually.
HR department should give reward and
incentives to hard working employees on their achievements.
HR Department should organize get to gathers
or other activities. To refresh employees and make them active.
Same Hierarchy should be followed in every
Job descriptions should clearly define to
every employee from
the very first day.
HR department should work as arbitrator in
case of any clash
between employees.
Recruiting and selection of employees should
be on basis of
Al though PEEF is one
of the most successful Non-Profit organization but there are some weaknesses in
management of organization. Human Resource department is like backbone of
management. Here I discussed some weaknesses of HR department. By covering
these weaknesses PEEF can make progress more quickly and serve its market share
by educating the children's through its different programs for tomorrow

SNU announced on April 18th that the Department of Economics is to launch a Korean counterpart of the National Bureau of Economics Research (NBER). The leading non-profit, non-partisan economic research organization in the United States, NBER is committed to conducting and sharing relevant research findings with both policy makers and the academic community.
The field of Korean economics has faced criticism for its lack of both theoretical and empirical research that deals with pressing problems of the Korean economy, such as low-growth and income inequality. Ryu Keunkwan, chair of the Department of Economics, explained: "the current situation calls for innovative economic policies and institutions, and it is SNU's responsibility to provide this."
Part of the reason for the dearth of extensive research on Korean economics is the tendency to focus too much on the US economy, which is commonly regarded as the origin of modern economic theories. According to Lee Philsang, professor of the SNU Department of Economics, "Although both Korea and U.S are both based on a market economy, the economic environments of the two countries are quite different in many aspects. The way economic research and education have been carried out in Korea differs from the actual Korean economic reality."
Korean National Bureau of Economics Research (KoBER) aims to provide ample theoretical background customized to the problems that the Korean economy is currently facing. Furthermore, the new center is also expected to serve as a hub of collaboration where the government, private sector, and academia come together to share knowledge, moving toward Korea-centered economic theory and practice.

Stress affects all of us – I understand that. Being a Man, however – I also understand what it feels like to walk around feeling like Im watching my life through my own eyes. When that happens, when Im truly stressed out – although I may appear on the surface to be calm and unruffled, the reality is that underneath, Im completely somewhen else. You know the feeling – you can appear to be present, and certainly your physical frame is there going through the motions – going shopping, attending an event with your beloved, doing something with the kids or appearing to enjoy a nice meal with a friend. Your body is there, smiling or laughing in the socially acceptable places, nodding, looking interested and even contributing a comment or two when the conversation starts getting severely lopsided and you realize you aren't really contributing to the substance of what is going on.
When are you? Most Men are adept at this particular form of duality – being physically present, but mentally and energetically occupying a different reality.
When are you today? We each have an opportunity to inhabit both non-local and local reality. When you are stressed, where do you go? As men we can often seem detached and distant from what is going on around us – when we are under stress we can mentally inhabit a different WHEN. Today, be conscious of WHEN you are. Are you focused on yesterday? What happened at work last week? Something from 3 years ago? An impending deadline? You cannot be present TODAY and someWHEN else at the same time. Commit to bringing your best self to those that you love and care about. Just for today – concentrate on being HERE, being NOW.
Is this you? How to find out.
I know….some of y'all have hard heads as my Pops used to say. Trust me on this – you aren't fooling anyone. She knows when you "aren't home" – thats when you get the gentle and tentative arm rub in the middle of a conversation…the 'you okay babe?' look in her eyes. Know what I mean? You arent being the 'strong and silent type'….you arent THERE. So there's your clue by four – you need to be more present. Here's my advice to you.
Come Home.
Many men approach the prospect of our being a 'real' man from a flawed premise;
e.g. the more you DO the more you are worth.
the more money you make, the better you will feel.
the more that you HAVE, the more you ARE
a better way to approach this would be – the better you FEEL, the more you ALLOW.
Having a Heart Focus
Focus on your heart – concentrate on opening your heart and looking around from your heartand letting your attention come from THAT place, your heart place, instead of your head. Like Tony Stark in Iron Man – envision your heart as your POWER center and shine your light from there – let your attention come from there and pay attention to what your heart has to say to you. Literally 'breathe' through your heart – take a deep breath and imagine it coming through your heart and when you exhale, exhale through that same place. ALLOW yourself to be present. ALLOW yourself to be NOW instead of some OTHER WHEN.
You'll feel differently almost immediately.
- Get in your body and out of your head. Simple things – reach out and touch your beloved.
- Pick up a stone. Feel its weight in your hand.
- Feel the weight and presence of your body sitting in the chair reading this.
- Send your consciousness down into the soles of your feet – FEEL where you are and feel literally grounded – connected to the earth.
Remember – You cannot be present TODAY and someWHEN else at the same time. Commit to bringing your best self to those that you love and care about. Just for today – concentrate on being HERE, being NOW.
Be amazing.

Spring is coming, and The Teacher's Magazine will celebrate with lesson plans on weather and seasons, a story about a seed turning into a plant and a play.
We start a new section about painters, and the first one we are going to work with is Klimt and his gorgeous paintings of women, just in case you want to celebrate Women's Day in your class.
As usual, you will find in the poster the prompts to tell a story to be performed: What a Day! is a play with lots of activities including a domino for students to colour and play. Around the same topic, weather, there is a lesson plan to present vocabulary through videos and to link weather to clothes.
There is the story called The White Daisy, about a seed that turns into a plant with lots of activities for different ages.
You will also find a downloadable page with all the links available in the articles published in this issue. In this way, you will have the URL at a click of the mouse, so not to copy them on your browser.
In the Phonics section, a new sound is introduced by means of flashcards and a poem. Children will love The Odd Mob and the actions they do.
You will also find a poster about the farm and lots of activities to use it in your class.
I hope you love this issue as much as we do.

Diogenes: Creativity and the Primary Curriculum
By Peter Vass, published 17th March 2013
Diogenes: WHITHER CREATIVITY?! A consideration of the article Creativity and the Primary CurriculumIn June 2010 the journal Primary Headship included an article entitled Creativity and the Primary Curriculum which endeavoured to pull together a range of positions as to where the curriculum might be going in the immediate future. These includedJim Rose's The Independent Review of the Primary Curriculum and RobinAlexander's The Cambridge Primary Review as well as evidence from Ofsted, History for All on how creative approaches can produce improvement in pupils' achievement. These positions are supported by two school case studies and a suggestion for 'ways forward'. I've chosen to focus on this because it is, quite frankly, the last time 'creativity' featured significantly and constructively in thinking about the primary curriculum...

Cork flooring is a wonderful solution for all your flooring needs.

It looks like Spring may be finally on the way here today in Melbourne, and to celebrate, we have a beautiful wedding to share, featuring some gorgeous letterpress wedding invitations that we printed for couple Aliese and Tom.
Aliese and Tom came to us with their own artwork, which they wanted letterpress printed, and we were only too happy to help! They'd created a simple typographic design which we letterpressed in deep burgundy ink onto 100% cotton ivory stock, paired with ivory envelopes and matching burgundy labels.
We also digitally printed their info cards, menus and table numbers to match.
Married in Autumn at the beautiful Maleny Manor in Queensland, Aliese chose deep burgundy flowers with blush dresses for the bridesmaids, perfectly fitting with the rich colours of the season.
We were so excited to see Aliese and Tom's photos and see how our invitations perfectly fitted the overall style of their day – warm, understated and elegant.
And now for some shots of their lovely wedding day (all photography by Prue Franzmann Photography):
Such a pretty wedding! I love the gorgeous burgundy and pink flowers, Aliese's beautiful dress, and most especially, how happy Aliese and Tom look together.
It was such a pleasure Aliese and Tom to work with you for your wedding invitations, and we wish you all the very best for married life ahead xx

This recipe is made with veggies leftover from the garden and in the slow cooker, so it's easy to "set it and forget it".

10. Low Sugar Mongolian Beef
"Mongolian beef has a sweet flavor because it's usually prepared with a lot of brown sugar. That alone has deterred me from making it at home in the past…I tried it and it turned out perfectly. What's even better is it's cooked in the slow cooker, so you can dump it in and walk away!" says Stacey Mattinson, MS, RDN. This Low Sugar Mongolian Beef recipe is versatile too! You can serve this over cauliflower rice, brown rice or whatever you think works best!

17. Slow Cooker Pesto Minestrone Soup: Lauren Sharifi
"To cut back on our weekly grocery bill I try and make at least one meal a week using beans or lentils instead of meat.

Not only do they add the same great flavor but they last much longer!" says Lauren Sharifi, RDN of Bite of Health Nutrition. Not only is this Slow Cooker Pesto Minestrone Soup budget friendly, but easy to make too!
18. Slow Cooker Apple Sauce
"I love this recipe because it doesn't use any added sugar. I simply add apples, water and cinnamon to the slow cooker and the end result is a delicious homemade applesauce. The kids eat it on its own, but it's great to have on hand because you can add it to many baked goods in place of oil. I've also added it to oatmeal and in smoothies" says Brynn McDowell, RD of The Domestic Dietitian. Apple season is approaching, making this Slow Cooker Applesauce an easy, healthy and delicious after-school snack!
19. Slow Cooker Sorghum and Black Bean Chili

I make these for my family and they love them. They are high in fat so I limit myself to 1 or 2 from the batch. I also make a cream chz. icing for my family but I don't touch it.
If you do not have an electric mixer do not seperate eggs just mix the whole egg with the milk. Seperating just makes the muffins light and fluffy.
Also you can aliminate the brown sugar mix if it is not to your liking they will still come out great or add pecans or walnut to the Brown sugar mix.

(Reuters) - An Indiana man was charged on Monday with sexually assaulting and murdering an 8-year-old girl in 1988, police said, a day after they said he had confessed to the crime.
John Miller, 59, of Grabill, Indiana, appeared briefly in court in Fort Wayne, Indiana, to face charges of murdering April Tinsley, officials said.
DNA evidence and records on publicly accessible genealogical websites helped investigators track down the suspect, the Fort Wayne police department said in a court filing on Sunday. That followed a pattern similar to that used to track down the "Golden State Killer" in California earlier this year.
Tinsley's mother reported her missing from her family home on April 1, 1988. Investigators found her body three days later, about 20 miles (32 km) away.
Miller was being held at the Allen County Jail on Monday after being preliminarily charged with murder, child molestation and confinement of someone under 14 years old, jail records showed.
Police asked Miller at his residence before his arrest if he had any idea why the police wanted to talk with him. Miller replied, "April Tinsley," according to the affidavit.
Police say Miller confessed to raping and then choking April Tinsley to death in April 1988 at his mobile home.
The arrest affidavit said that police, using outside labs, compared DNA evidence with information on genealogical websites, which narrowed the search to Miller and his brother.
Earlier this month, police began to watch Miller, and took three used condoms from his trash earlier this month, it said.
It was not clear from court records whether Miller had retained an attorney. Calls on Monday to the prosecutor's office were not immediately returned.
According to court papers, police in 1990 discovered writing on a barn wall near Fort Wayne that said: "I kill 8 year old April M Tinsley did you find her other shoe haha I will kill agin'."

The Wishlist
My kids love smoothies for breakfasts, snacks at home, snacks on the go, and snacks for school. I like to make them in batches and then freeze them so that we can enjoy them at a moment's notice. Previously, I would freeze them in ice cube trays. At home, the girls like to eat them frozen and for on the go, I would pop a few blocks into a drink box and it would be melted within a couple of hours.
I came across the Squooshi reusable, squeezable food pouches in my quest to cut the ice cube tray and transfer steps out of the process. I was looking for a product which is:
- Easy to fill
- Leak proof
- Quick and easy to clean
- Can go straight from the freezer into a lunch box
- Defrosts quickly without using the microwave
- Good value for money
About Squooshis
- They have two parts, the lid and the pouch which has a zipper seal on the bottom.
- They are BPA-free, Phthalate-free, PVC-free, and Lead-free.
- They are available in 2 sizes. The small pouches have a cute animal print and have a capacity of 3.4 fl oz (100mL). The large pouches hold 5 to 6 fl oz (150mL) and are available in the animal print or in a fun geometric print in blue and orange (I selected these for purchase). They look larger but the capacity of the large pouches is very similar to the pouches that you can buy ready to eat from the store. The large pouches measure 8-inches by 3 3/4-inches (widest part).
- They are freezer and dishwasher safe.
- They have a window on the back of the pouch so that you can easily identify its contents without having to label the pouch (love this feature).
The Test Drive
Filling the pouches is simple:
- Twist the lid on and make sure it is closed properly. Open the zipper closure at the bottom of the pouch. Use a spoon to open up the interior of the pouch before filling in order to maximise the space. If the two sides are touching, it isn't as quick and easy to fill as you will need to push the filling down into the pouch in order to utilise its full capacity.
- For applesauce and Greek yoghurt, I use a teaspoon to fill the pouch, and for smoothies, I pour them directly from the blender. A filling station is available for purchase but isn't necessary.
- The company recommends that you only fill the pouch 3/4 of the way full to avoid spillage. There isn't a fill line on the pouch. Using the web address printed on the pouch window as a fill line works well.
- Gently press out any air and seal well.
My daughter takes them to school almost daily and we have toted them around in the bag I carry for the kids and we haven't had any spillages. The zip seal is tight and takes a bit of strength and effort to open.
3) Quick and easy to clean?
I give them a quick rinse and then tent them over the tines on the top rack of the dishwasher and this cleans them well. I then tent them on a drying rack to dry completely afterwards. We have only once had chocolate smoothie residue leftover after a run through the dishwasher. It came out really easily with soap and water and a gentle rub. You may find that after a few washes, the zipper seal seems very stiff and does not close easily (this will probably happen after several hand washes too). I think this happens because the detergent dries out the seals. To remedy this, rub a little flavourless cooking oil such as Canola oil along the seals. This will re-hydrate them and they will close easily.
4) Can go straight from freezer to lunch box? Can be defrosted quickly without the use of the microwave?
Yes. Being able to pop them into a lunch box straight from the fridge saves time. It may just be a couple of minutes saved but on some mornings, every second counts especially when you are packing lunches and snacks for multiple people. They defrost within about one and a half hours and stay cool for a couple more in an insulated lunch box. As a bonus, the frozen Squooshi helps to keep the other items in the lunch box cool. If you need it to defrost quickly, place the frozen pouch in a jug of hot water from the tap and it will be drinkable within 5 to 10 minutes.
5) Good value for money?
They are really affordable at about $15 for a set of eight. Well worth it.
In Conclusion
This is a really great product and we have been using them almost daily. My kids really like drinking from them and I love how easy they are to fill, consume, wash, and re-use. They checked all the boxes on my wishlist.

For the 21 million American adults suffering from arthritis, stiff, painful joints can make even an easy exercise program feel impossible.
But, with countless research studies backing up exercise benefits for the elderly, can your loved one really afford to forgo their daily cardio?
The experts don't think so.
Browse Our Free Senior Care Guides
Neil Roth, M.D., an orthopedic and sports medicine specialist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, says, "there is nothing better," than exercise when it comes to managing arthritis pain. Though, he does admit that it can be hard for people who are in pain to stick to an exercise routine. "It is a catch 22, because arthritis pain can prevent a person from exercising, but it is actually one of the most beneficial ways to alleviate arthritis pain," he says.
Thankfully, there are ways to make an exercise regimen more arthritis-friendly:
- Prioritize pain management: According to Stephen Soloway, M.D., a rheumatologist, the key to a successful exercise program for people with arthritis is making sure their pain is under control before they start working out. This will involve a trip to your loved one's doctor to diagnose which type of arthritis they have, and prescribe any necessary anti-inflammatory medications or therapies. Once their pain and inflammation are under control, Soloway says a senior should be able to do most types of exercise without aggravating their condition. A doctor can also advise an arthritis sufferer on which kinds of exercises would be good to do, as well as which ones could be harmful.
- Start slow: Warm-up is an often overlooked (yet integral) element of a workout—especially when a senior's joints are sore and stiff due to their arthritis. Before your loved one hops on a bike or picks up dumb bells, they should do some gentle range-of-motion exercises (generally prescribed by their doctor or physical therapist), such as arm circles, hip lifts, and toe touches. Roth says it might also be beneficial for a senior to put a heat pack on their most painful areas prior to starting a workout. Heat can help relax and loosen up their muscles and joints.
- Reduce your impact: When it comes to exercising with arthritis, low-impact is the way to go, according to Roth. He cites swimming, water aerobics, stationary cycling, and elliptical machines as great low-impact forms of cardiovascular training. Soloway also suggests practicing Tai Chi as a way to help a senior increase their balance and flexibility. Studies have shown that this ancient Chinese martial art can help reduce pain and increase mobility in people with different types of arthritis. It's generally safe for an arthritis sufferer to lift weights, just be sure to check with your loved one's doctor before encouraging them to begin a weight training program.
- Mix it up: Switching up an exercise regimen can be extremely beneficial for a senior who is suffering from arthritis, according to Soloway. "Workouts should be varied—not stagnant," he says. There are numerous benefits to mixing it up in the gym, not the least of which is that your loved one is less likely to become bored and uninterested in working out. Soloway says that it's important to consult with your loved one's doctor to come up with a workout plan that focuses on safely developing their cardiovascular capacity as well was their all-around strength and flexibility.
- In pain, no gain: Both Roth and Soloway warn arthritis-suffers to avoid workouts that cause them pain. "You should exercise up to a point where you are tired, but it is not good to push through pain," Roth says. Soloway adds that pain is your body's way of telling you that something is wrong. Especially if your loved one suffers from rheumatoid arthritis, Soloway says that they need to go to the doctor to make sure their inflammation is under control before they start an exercise program.
- Work on weaknesses: When it comes to strength training, a senior might want to stick with the exercises that they're good at. But Soloway says it's equally (if not more) important for your elderly loved one to work on increasing strength in their weaker areas. Roth says that some of the most beneficial types of exercises a senior can do are those that strengthen the muscles that support their arthritic joints. A doctor or physical therapist can help your loved one come up with a set of exercises geared towards strengthening the areas around their pain points.
- Recover well: According to Roth, stretching before and after a workout can help a senior's muscles recover more quickly. If your loved one is particularly sore in certain areas, it may be beneficial for them to ice those parts of their body. When icing, make sure the ice pack is wrapped in a thin towel and don't leave it on a senior's skin for longer than 30 minutes.
- Don't forget to eat (right): There's no magical diet that can take away aches and pains, but eating healthy can beneficial for seniors who have arthritis. Soloway suggests tailoring your loved one's diet to fit their exercise regimen. For example, if a senior is engaging in a good amount of strength-building exercises to build up the muscles around their joints, make sure they're getting enough healthy protein (egg whites, almonds, chicken, salmon, etc.) to help fuel muscle growth. If they're doing a good amount of cardio, make sure they're eating high-quality carbohydrates (fruit, whole grain pasta and bread, brown rice, etc.).
