Henrico's Top Teachers – Evelyn Thomas
Three Chopt E.S., second grade
Parents of second-graders in Evelyn Thomas' class at Three Chopt Elementary School don't have to motivate their students to do homework.
"My son runs in the door and asks, "Can I do my math homework now? I'm going to beat my number from yesterday!'" one wrote in a letter nominating Thomas as a top teacher.
Wrote another: "My son has shown an amazing effort with homework and spelling tests that he did not have in previous years. When I asked why, he responded, 'I want to be a good student and Mrs. Thomas is so good to us, I would not want to make her sad."
Thomas has earned high marks across the board from parents, who describe her as cheerful, caring and enthusiastic. Her ability to engage students and foster a love of learning has paid many dividends.
One of her most popular assignments is 'Five-minute math,' in which children make flashcards with a variety of math problems, then sit down with family members at home and do as many as they can within five minutes. Students predict how many they'll get right, then monitor their progression and divide the piles into those they know and those they don't.
"At the beginning of the school year, some kids only get through 13 or 14," Thomas says. "But then they start to see progress. I've got students now doing 106 math facts in five minutes. They take ownership of what they're doing."
Parents have witnessed the excitement first-hand.
"My son is so incredibly eager to please her," one wrote in a nomination letter. "He can't wait to tell her when he breaks his "five minute math" record! He's so eager to go to school each day because of Mrs. Thomas. As a mom, that means everything to me."
Said another: "Mrs. Thomas has changed my son from a child who went to school because he had to, to a child who is truly excited to go to school and learn."
Thomas, now in her 12th year as a Henrico teacher and 21st overall, is married to Hunter Thomas, who has taught for 23 years in the county and is currently at Godwin High School. She has taught every grade level in elementary school and served recently as a math coach, splitting time between Crestview and Three Chopt as part of a federal grant. But she missed having her own homeroom and was glad to return full-time to Three Chopt this year.
"I love second grade," she says. "They're so curious, and the group that I have, they're happy – they give me smiles all day long. One of my priorities is to create a happy place for these children to come, and they make it easy for me."
Thomas still recalls a moment that occurred early in her teaching career in the City of Richmond, when a first-grader asked her on a Friday afternoon, "What do you do here over the weekend?" When she told the child that she didn't come to the classroom on the weekends, he said, "I wish I could come up here tomorrow, and I wish I could stay in our classroom."
"Emotionally, he was invested in our class, and we were family to him," Thomas says. "That just told me that I made an impact in his life. To know that he would want to spend more time in class, it kind of said that I was on the right path. That's such a huge part of my job – making sure that when the children come to school that it's a happy place."

Journey to mediocrity
'The Hundred-Foot Journey' fails to capitalize on tasty concept
The Hundred-Foot Journey is a curious little Romeo and Juliet of a film. A family, forced out of their native India, begins a trek across Europe.
The family's sole mode of transportation sputters and dies in a sleepy little French town, but the town's food culture is high, and that's a perfect place for a family of restaurateurs to settle down. There's only one problem – the family's rustic "Maison Mumbai" is right across the street (a hundred feet away, if the title didn't clue you in) from a prestigious French bistro with a Michelin star, run with an iron fist by the dreaded Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren, pictured).
It's here that a particular Romeo and Juliet story begins to develop, with Hassan (Manish Dayal) on the Indian side and Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon) on the French side. > Read more.

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

We've lived in this building for 3 years and have had no reports of bed bugs. The sad thing is that they are every where in San Francisco, and it's a legitimate fear when living in most apartment buildings. It's important not to pick things up off the street! I had a friend who lives down the hill a little ways, pick up a cute night stand, and shortly afterwards got bed bugs. Those little buggers don't care if you're rich or poor, they just leach on and make your life a living hell! The report o
n this website scared me, but after speaking to numerous neighbors in the building, and hearing no reports from any of them, I felt much safer. The management company has been pretty responsive with other maintenance requests, so god forbid I pick them up somewhere, I feel pretty safe that they will give me proper treatment.
Anonymous on 09/19/2009
We also had bedbugs in our unit and until reading the other post thought we were alone. We noticed ours a few months after that post date. They were coming out of the walls.
Property management was responsive though pest control sprayed only half our apartment once; per most experts three sprays is standard. If I knew what i know now i would have requested at least three sprays because they came back.
Arlene on 09/30/2008
Be warned, there are bed bugs in Upper Nob Hill. The property managers at 1302 Taylor Street are responding appropriately to reports of the pests and have sent a competent exterminator to treat affected aparments.
However, some tenants are behaving in ways that can spread the bugs. Also, there are 18 units in the building, and some tenants may have the bugs but not realize it. So beware.
No nearby bug reports

Design: freestanding 2-person

Ease of Setup: Fairly quick and easy to set up tent. Even the rear arch support pole(short) is quick.
Weight: 5 lbs. 3 ozs.
Price Paid: $219
Tent setup is pretty easy. With how light this tent is for what it is, it's still fairly strong. A 'Clip-Loc' at the tents apex gives 60 percent more strength, supposedly, which would be helpful in windy situations. The rear arch support seemed to be more useful than just for strength, but for interior space as well. Without it that wall side of the interior space would not be as vertical.
Sitting in the tent with another person you do feel a little confined. Though most SD tents are known for vertical wall design, this one doesn't follow that convenience all the way. But when two people are lying down there is plenty of room for camp sleep. Especially length wise. My girlfriend and I were comfortable with our arms out above our heads and our 70 lb. dog at our feet within the tent. At this point there wouldn't be much room for gear in the tent, but the vestibule should plenty of room for gear for 2. Any more gear than that wouldn't fit within the tent and the vestibule, is probably due to overpacking in most cases. On a clear night this is a great tent to star gaze with its mesh blending.
This is a great tent and I would recommend it to most 3 season campers. Especially those looking for a fuctional, ample sized tent, with mid to lighter weight packability, and who doesn't want to climb over their partner in the middle of the night to relief.

Could be worse. Very light and easy to set up. Biggest drawback is lack of views, absence of storm flaps on window/doors is a disadvantage. Overall, the Orion makes for a rather claustrophic environment. I might suggest the Walrus Rappeede as an alternative.

Design: 3 season dome

Weight: 5 lbs, 7 oz
Price Paid: $235
I didn't buy this tent, but I came very close. The salesperson and I set it up about five times inside the store over a period of two weeks. I really liked this tent, but decided to buy the Sierra Designs Polaris instead (a slightly larger, 4 season tent). With 35 sq ft of floor space, this tent is roomy for one, cozy for two.
The reason I didn't buy this tent is that there is not enough room inside for two plus gear, and the vestibule doesn't help much at 7.5 sq ft. Tent is supported by two equal-length poles, with a shorter pole running between them which supports the door. Tent clips to poles. I didn't like the fact that the door opens down.
Tent has a large mesh opening in the roof which tapers down both sides, plus a mesh window in the door (no storm flap). Tent is well made, nice to look at. This is the best small, 3-season, two-man tent I saw for the money, and I looked at alot of them.

(WBIR, Knoxville) - Heart surgeons from Parkwest Medical Center visited a local high school Thursday to give them some hands on experience.
Anatomy and Physiology students at Christian Academy of Knoxville watched and participated in heart surgery demonstrations.
They performed the procedures on pig hearts that are similar to human hearts.
"They really love it! I think for any student sometimes, you know, they do their calculus and they don't really know when they're ever going to use calculus again. And we know that they will at some point. But I think for this, it's really to see that what they are learning certainly has an impact on what I do every day," said Dr. Thomas Pollard.
"It's one thing to see it in your book or on a screen, but it's a different thing to go in and be able to see different valves and veins and sorts of things," said Matthew Little, a junior at CAK.
Doctors hope this experience will encourage more students to go into the healthcare field.

Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. today announced the winners of its first AppRadio Hackathon held during the 2012 Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association (SEMA) Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The 69-hour event had more than 81 registered developers, some of whom had traveled from different parts of the country. They competed to develop the best new apps to be compatible with Pioneer's AppRadio products, the revolutionary in-dash smartphone powered audio system that enables consumers to use and control compatible apps directly from their touchscreen displays.*
The continuous three-day competition created nine new ideal apps designed to work with the AppRadio platform, ranging from popular Facebook postings and tweets that can be read to drivers to car maintenance that measures tire pressure and air leaks.
"The response to our very first Hackathon has been overwhelming and has allowed us to engage personally with some of the most creative and innovative app developers around the nation and expose them to the SEMA member community of accessories manufacturers," said Ted Cardenas, vice president of marketing for the Car Electronics Division of Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. "Overall the event established our goals in exposing the AppRadio platform to developers and generating more excitement for our products and the automotive industry as a whole. Most importantly, it produced great ideas for unique apps that further put us in the forefront of smartphone connectivity in the car."
Developers chose from three popular app categories: safe in-vehicle use of Social Networking Services (SNS) through a voice recognition and text-to-speech interface; geo-fenced or geo-tagged automotive related location based services (LBS); and apps that incorporate a technology, product or service from a 2012 SEMA exhibitor.
The first-place 2012 AppRadio Hackathon winners are the following developers:
Voice Interface Social Networking Automotive App
App name: Tiles
Developers: Ali Haeri, Evan Chen and Hannah Choo
- Tiles is a social networking app that automatically aggregates the most relevant social media content by taking into account current time, location, and social activity of the user. Content is then served in news ticker format in the user's Facebook page or Twitter account, with new tiles appearing as they become relevant. Each tile contains two "action buttons," allowing interaction with the content using AppRadio's speech-to-text and voice recognition technology allowing the user to hear a Facebook posting or tweet and focus on driving.
- The Tiles app also allows for targeted advertising – the "advertising tile" which has the same look and feel as the other tiles and is seamlessly integrated with social media postings. Local advertising tiles can trigger navigation upon tap and also have the ability to be hyper-targeted, from a specific advertisement to pop up based on the user's particular interests (from their social profile) to drivers in a certain vicinity of businesses.
Location-Based Services (LBS) App
App name: CarTourin'
Developer: Jad Meouchy
- CarTourin' is a sightseeing app that uses location-based services to guide users along a series of tour destinations. Instead of sitting on a crowded tour bus, users have the ability to take a guided tour from the comfort of their own vehicle. On the screen of the AppRadio display, available tours in the users' area pop up on the screen with information about tour pricing, ratings, categories and more. Users also have the ability to load destinations into a routed Google Map.
- At checkpoints during the tour, information and photos pop up on the screen as well as interactive trivia that can be redeemed for premium content and shared with friends over social media. When the driver reaches their final destination, the app will congratulate the tour-taker for their completion, and will reward them with special offers related to the subject of the tour including coupons to nearby activities, restaurants, and special discounted rates to other attractions. Users also have the option to leave feedback about the tour and the option to share it with friends.
SEMA Member Automotive Accessory App
App name: CAMBUDDY Drive
Developer: Mike Kai
- CAMBUDDY Drive is an app that allows the user to create a comprehensive and compelling driving video experience which can be shared with friends on Facebook or uploaded directly to YouTube. With the app, the driver can control a GoPro Hero3 camera from inside his or her car. Recorded video is overlayed with real-time performance visualization using the PLX Kiwi 2 and iPhone sensors.
- The app is ideal for anyone who wants to capture their car adventure, from off-roading to taking a cruise to the beach. The live video feed can also help with safety by improving visibility in blind areas and providing greater driver awareness of their surroundings.
Each team/app was judged based on their (1) Adherence to category; (2) Originality of the idea; (3) Ability to articulately present the application; (4) Technology used in the application and (5) User Interface design and adherence to provided guidelines for screen resolution and orientation. Judges of the Hackathon included two Pioneer executives, a creative agency co-founder, an editor from GEEK magazine, and a SEMA executive. These judges come from a variety of backgrounds, ranging from the automotive and aftermarket car audio industry, creative to technology.

Drumming Up Design
Read Article
Brotherly love takes many forms; in the case of Rob and Eric Brill, it's a shared passion for modernism. Rob, the younger of the two and a rock musician, recently completed the second of two live/work homes in Los Angeles that serve as spaces for recording and rehearsing and as expressions of his taste for a bracingly spartan brand of minimalism. He built both homes with co-investment from his brother Eric, a retired businessman and serious collector of industrial design, who until recently lived in a 1934 Edward Durrell Stone house in New York State. "We are modernists," says Rob, with the clarity of someone declaring a religious belief. "We love its simplicity, the embrace of its surroundings." Along the way, though, the Brill brothers have been struck by another near-spiritual commitment: environmentalism.

A body found stuffed inside a 55-gallon drum in a New York apartment belonged to a young woman who had recently moved there from Providence.
WJAR-TV reports Friday that the body of 19-year-old Francis Alfonso Pellerano was found last weekend.
Pellerano had studied at the Rhode Island School for the Deaf before moving to New York last fall to be closer to a boyfriend.
Police arrived at the Harlem apartment last Saturday to investigate a report of a foul odor. The Medical Examiner reports that Pellerano sustained multiple stab wounds.
There have been no arrests, but police say a person of interest was undergoing psychiatric evaluation.

A 43-year-old Fort Wayne man pleaded guilty in Allen Superior Court to two counts of child molesting.
Gary R. Anderson, of the 5200 block of Cornett Court was charged in July, accused of molesting two girls younger than 14.
Originally charged with five counts of child molesting – three Class A felonies, and two Class C felonies – Anderson admitted to two added charges, both Class B felonies.
No plea agreement was filed, so his sentencing will be left up to the discretion of a judge when he is sentenced in September, according to court documents.

Crave Worthy: Mobelform Doc Sofa/Bunk Bed
by POPSUGAR Home 61 Reactions 225 Shares Print
As a kid, it was really cool to have a bunk bed, especially if it was covered in something even cooler, like novelty sheets featuring The Smurfs or the Transformers. But this Transformer-meets-bunk-bed totally kicks the ass of all those other forms of coolness. I mean, really, how amazingly awesome is this Mobelform Doc Sofa/Bunk Bed?
Priced at $6,840 for the regular size and $8,660 for the extra-large version, this metal sofa bed converts from a couch to a bunk bed in just a few fluid movements. Yes, it is expensive, but awesomeness like this doesn't come cheap. Here's what it looks like in action:

this is sweet i would love to have this coach/bunk bed and it is a lot of money but for something like that it really isnt that much with out looking at the price i would hav thought it cost about almost $12,000-$13,000
4 years
Cool sofa but the price is ridiculous. If you have so much money to buy this sofa, why not get a bigger place? Bigger place might even come out the same price, if not less. A high end sofa and bed would cost less than this thing. Great idea but I don't see how anyone could find this a good buy at this price point.

Way cool!! If I had a boat load of cash, this would be great. My neighbor has a great kids room (an alcove that her little girl uses for the "bedroom" - think princess in a tower- and a really large open room that is the "playroom"). This would be a perfect piece for the playroom part of the "suite"

like others, i love it but wow is that a hefty price tag. as a simple sofa, it's a good style but transforming into a bunk bed, now that's pretty cool. any idea if it's easy to convert into the bed?

I don't understand who would buy this. I don't particularly like it in either form, but even if I did, why would I pay $7000-9000 for a decent sofa or a decent bunk bed when I could buy a hell of a sofa AND a hell of a bed? Let's assume this is for people with spacial limitations--save the 7k and put it toward a bigger space! This is just ridiculous to me; it's obviously meant for people with more money than they know what to do with, lol.

The chief executive officer of Northeast Health System, parent company of Gloucester's Addison Gilbert Hospital, is pledging to city officials they will be kept in the loop as his health care corporation explores partnership options with four larger organizations.
At a City Council session Tuesday night, Northeast CEO Ken Hanover outlined the latest milestone — a Feb. 7 request for proposals from the Lahey Clinic, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Vanguard Health Systems and Steward Health Care System.
"We are not seeking a partner because we are losing money or doing poorly by any measure," Hanover said in delivering prepared remarks.
"Instead," Hanover said, "our board of trustees believes that, to ensure our future vitality and maintain our ongoing ability to serve the health care needs of our community, we find a more extensive partnership, which adds to our size, increases the availability of resources for future investment and share our beliefs and values about community-based health care."
Making a third appearance before city officials since joining Northeast about 18 months ago, Hanover noted that he was well acquainted with the breadth and depth of local concerns about Addison Gilbert.
"Your concern — and we hear it, believe me, we hear it loud and clear — is, what does this mean for Addison Gilbert Hospital?" he noted.
"I've heard you tell me on many occasions that you want AGH to remain open and to continue providing the eight essential services required by our hospital license," he added. "You would like us to add more primary care doctors to our physician complement and more general surgeons and surgical subspecialists as well.
"In short, I understand 'the wants' and I will be discussing these with our potential partners," he said. "However such discussions have not occurred to date. We are still too early in our process."

Criminal Justice
ABA and DOJ seek retroactive application of new federal drug-sentencing guidelines
By Martha Neil
Jun 10, 2014, 04:28 pm CDT
The Department of Justice on Tuesday formally announced that it would support a plan to reduce sentences for drug offenders who have not been involved in violent crimes.
The DOJ is backing those who have suggested applying retroactively new reduced sentencing guidelines for drug trafficking to those who are already imprisoned, according to a Department of Justice press release and Time magazine. The U.S. Sentencing Commission is scheduled to vote next month on whether to approve retroactive application of the new guidelines.
"Not everyone in prison for a drug-related offense would be eligible," said Attorney General Eric Holder. "Nor would everyone who is eligible be guaranteed a reduced sentence. But this proposal strikes the best balance between protecting public safety and addressing the overcrowding of our prison system that has been exacerbated by unnecessarily long sentences."
Meanwhile, in testimony (PDF) before the U.S. Sentencing Commission on Tuesday, an American Bar Association representative urged the commission to adopt the plan.
James Felman called retroactive application a "moral imperative," and said the plan would eliminate both "unnecessarily severe" sentences required by prior quantity-based guidelines and a wasteful use of prison resources on those who don't need further punishment.
Felman serves as the ABA's liaison to the sentencing commission and is chair-elect of the ABA Section of Criminal Justice.

What made JAVA such a popular language?
When you look at the IT recruitment landscape, certain skills and languages rise above the rest. JAVA development is currently the most recruited for IT skill, but do you know why?
It isn't because JAVA is the best language or easy to write. It is because it ties into everything and has been used for a long time – it is a universal medium.
But how did that happen? What will come next and who are the people who will develop the tools and products that the IT industry will use in the coming years?
4 Reasons JAVA Will Never Die
It is still growing: Through Randstad Canada's internal numbers, we have tracked that demand for JAVA developers has been growing month over month and year after year. Between Q1 of 2013 and Q2 of 2014, demand for JAVA has increased by 83%, which is amazing considering how JAVA is almost 20-years old. Thank you Oracle.
It integrates old systems with new ones and is used everywhere: Whether a client is building a customer relations management system, a mobile app, or a database, JAVA is versatile. It has gotten this way by being so widely used.
It has an amazing community: Its use has made it flexible and the community has invested a great deal of time into it. The network effects of strong development communities sharing ideas, materials and code on platforms like Github and Sourceforge only make the language stronger.
More senior IT Managers know JAVA – they can vet others' work: It is easy to see how a newspaper editor can vet a reporter's work, but the same needs to be done in programming. If a developer is writing in a language that their manager is new to or has never seen before, how can a manager figure out what the code will do, or fix it if it is broken? JAVA is robust enough that it can do almost anything new, or old – despite any iterations, managers can have a strong frame of reference around what code is being written by their teams.
Find out at , Why JAVA Will Never Die, a webinar presented by Randstad Canada, with leading industry innovator, Leo Meyerovich. Meyerovich is the founder of Graphistry Inc. and an award winning academic, with a Ph.D. in computer science from UC Berkeley and experience working with Google, Microsoft, Samsung, GE, and Qualcomm. Leading IT recruiter and the Vice President of Randstad Canada, Scott MacKinnon will also be present.
Register today, for Why JAVA Will Never Die, on June 12, at 2 p.m. EST, using code 1337 and receive a free White Paper on the state of IT recruitment in Canada.
Leo Meyerovich, Founder of Graphistry Inc.
Leo Meyerovich is a technologies entrepreneur, academic and innovator working on the leading edge of Big Data. A lot of people are talking about big data, but not many can actually work with it. Leo is one of the few who can translate numbers into tangible benefits and his research will help you understand developers, programming languages and how to recruit the best.
Leo Meyerovich co-founded Graphistry, Inc., a startup that improves real-time visual exploration and analysis of graph and time series data. The big idea is to deliver next-generation visual interaction on the browser with 2-5 magnitudes more data than normally possible by introducing GPU cloud infrastructure. Graphistry is working with pilot customers to improve visibility in customer transactions, web-scale software performance, and other graph and time series data sources.
Previously, Leo researched programming language design and implementation at UC Berkeley (Ph.D. 2013) and Brown University (BS 2007). His language research over the past decade focused on applications towards parallelization, sociology, security, concurrency, and the web. His PhD introduced the first multicore web browser (3 PLDI SRC awards) in order to achieve large-scale improvements in performance-per-Watt on small devices. It was a precursor to recent parallel browser projects by Mozilla, Samsung, Google, Microsoft Research, and Qualcomm, and led to Graphistry's GPU technology. Leo led the largest scale analysis of programming language adoption and its social underpinnings (OOPSLA best paper) and, with security researchers at Google, Microsoft, and Brown University, designed several secure web scripting languages (400+ citations).
His BS at Brown University (2007) introduced the functional reactive language Flapjax for highly concurrent web software (OOPSLA best paper) and lit the path for popular frameworks by Microsoft, Facebook, and others. He was supported by the first Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship (winner among 50 Ph.D. teams at Berkeley and Stanford), the NSF GRFP, and grants from Samsung, Nokia, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Intel, and others.
The Socio-PLT project (joint work with Ari Rabkin from Princeton) was featured by Wired, received an OOPSLA best paper award, triggered a DARPA ISAT workshop in 2013, and marks the shift towards a scientific approach to the social design of language technology.

The Formula 1's Grand Prix in Montreal isn't just a race, it is a feat of industry, logistics and teamwork. Teams from around the world come together bringing their unique talents to bare in the effort to compete and win. Strong teams are built by leaders with the vision to see how independent team members will work together, empowering the team to succeed. In the F1 teams are striving for perfection and so are we.
Randstad Canada is proud to support F1 and you can count on us to bring the same level of professionalism to your workplace, that race teams bring to the F1.
Last week we revealed the results of our annual Randstad Award Survey; where Canadians shared what brand they found to be the most attractive. Those surveyed chose WestJet to be the most desirable brand to work for, for the third year in a row.
In the Randstad Award Survey, we asked 8,500 Canadians to rank personality traits by importance of what would they look for in an employer. Overall the world prefers employers who are honest, sincere, secure and reliable and find traits such as strong, or thrilling to be less important.
Canada was typical in this respect; while other nations were more polarized towards the leading traits like, Poland who's respondents spoke in near unison with 40% saying that honesty was the most important traits; while 20% of China's respondents said that Strong was their most important trait.
We also found out what Canadians felt was the most important factor when looking for an employer, what employment sectors were most attractive and what the current perceptions on timelines for retirement are.
For other results found in the Randstad Award survey, visit, www.randstadaward.ca.
Canada is an exciting country to work in, with many of the world's leading employers and strong growth in industries like oil and gas, technologies and finance opportunities to grow your career and your skills are endless.
Companies are developing their employer brand to help attract candidates to join their organizations; much like businesses have established their own marketing brands to attract new customers. Knowing what a company's employer brand is and how you could fit into it is every more important on your job hunt.
In a recent survey in support of the Randstad Award, 8,500 Canadians were asked their perceptions on a number of topics about their work lives and their perceptions; we wanted to share 3 Facts that every job hunter and employer should know.
The Transport and Logistics sector 45% is the most desirable, with both men and women. The sector also earned favorable results on training, a pleasant work atmosphere and interesting job content. Transport and Logistics was followed by:
High Tech Manufacturing 42%
Motor Vehicle & Parts 39%
Energy 41%
This year, Canadians hold competitive salary and benefits as the most important factor in deciding whether a job opportunity is attractive enough with 73% of respondents leaving the factor in their top 5 followed by;
Long-term job security 56%
Pleasant working atmosphere 51%
Good work-life balance 43%
When Canadians were asked what factors would put their work life balance at risk, Canadians responded strongly with 57% of respondents answering that an unfavourable working environment is the greatest risk to a good work life balance, followed by;
Poor cooperation with colleagues 51%
Work during evenings/weekends 47%
Putting in too many extra hours 45%
To all of the administrative professionals working today, or who have done the job in the past, thank you for your service and dedication.
The role of the administrative professional has changed a great deal and at Randstad we're proud of both the heritage of the role and what it has become today.
Thank you all for your hard work.
This week is Administrative Professionals Week, join Randstad in thanking your friends and colleagues for their support and hard work as business support professionals and executive assistants.
When Nancy Cote, the Vice President of Randstad Canada's Western Division began recruiting administrative assistants for Canadian companies over 27-years ago she was looking for people who could type well, people who would by answer phones, do the filing and book meetings. But now, in 2014 she says that, "Things have changed; they've drastically changed."
To a room of 150 bright eyed men and women beginning their careers as business support professionals at an event at Conestoga College on April 16, 2014, she shared how."They (administrative assistants) might have even been making coffee or picking up laundry, anything to make their executive or manager's life easier," said Cote.The stereotypes aside the role changed in big ways that means that today's admins don't just help one person they are supporting entire companies. "Sure typing is still important as are computer skills; but the fit and the values that the employee have to match with the organization," said Cote, explaining that "Business support professionals are no longer making coffee as a primary function of their jobs – they aren't picking up laundry – they are providing support in the direction of the organizations they work in. Their values matter more than their typing skills."
For Randstad Canada's President, Tom Turpin, his administrative assistant, Kelli Cutler is exactly as Nancy described – a communicative expert who helps her executive leader and the organization behind him, achieve more. With Kelli, the company can get more done: says Randstad Canada President"With Kelli's help in an eight hour day I can get done what would take me 12 or 14 hours," said Turpin. "Kelli has the unique ability to not only take what gets said in a meeting and carry those marching orders out the rest of the company, but she can also anticipate what needs to be done –she fills in the details on plans and I value her opinion on everything from personnel to strategy."In Tom's role, he'll have everyone from Randstad's clients, shareholders, corporate leadership from other parts of the company coming at him at the same time all with important priorities all of them impacting the business in one way or another.
"With Kelli when a client priority comes up, she can help me reprioritize everything; if I had to do that myself things would fall through the cracks – big things and with Kelli that doesn't happen."For Nancy this type if integration into business strategy and directive scheduling that Tom outlined isn't an exception it is the rule."We did a study which looked at what type of activities business support professionals are doing today and while many are doing traditional secretarial tasks, 41 per cent of respondents said they are making managerial or recruitment decisions," explained Cote, speaking to a study performed by Ipsos Reid commissioned by Randstad called The Changing Face of Today's Business Support Professionals. "To me this means they are an integral part of management. They are bringing people into the company, this they have a say in how organizations develop. "
For someone who has been in the position the role is even more nuanced. Kelli has worked within Randstad twice, supporting two company executives for more than six years. "It is fun, you get to be a business driver, you get access to the entire company. I'm at the centre of everything I know how the business works and even though it can be stressful waiting for people to track back with things or having to follow up with so many parts of the business it is a great job," said Cutler.
Kelli has worked all over the world, having grown up in Australia and completing a traineeship in Clerical and Administrative Skills in Australia in the 1990s. "It was sort of like an apprenticeship; you'd work for two days a week and attend school for two days a week and it took a year to complete."In the 20-years that Kelli has held business support roles she's worked in diverse industries ranging from engineering to insurance and now in the human resource management and recruitment field. She's worked all over the world from Banff, British Columbia, London England, Sydney, Australia and now in Toronto, Ontario. "All of the skills I learned and have developed are transferable it has given me the flexibility to build an exciting career," said Cutler.That flexibility and adaptability are two of the most important traits for an executive assistant today, Kelli also admitted that she's a bit of a control freak, "It helps me keep everyone in line."
The variety of work environments and difference in technologies has meant Kelli has had to constantly keep learning and growing her skill sets."It isn't just that you're going to change over from one word processor to another but every company – every leader, has different ways of doing things," Kelli explained.Another benefit of her role, Kelli said that the variety of work she does keeps her interested. She'll organize large company events, direct campaigns and at times lead corporate social responsibility activities. "People trust me. I'm given parts of projects or whole ones they know that it will get done. I'm a business driver, and I'm a silent one – I help everyone communicating to the executive looking good and I keep the executive following up on time, it is a two way street."
In closing her speech Nancy was optimistic about the industry and roles she's recruited for most of her professional life."The role has come a long way from dictation to direction and I hope today's business support professionals know how valuable they are and how exciting the next few years will be," Cote said. "Admins aren't making coffee anymore and business support professionals are only going to be more important in the years to come.

7 Tips to Becoming an Employer of Choice
by Elena Candeloro, Talent Acquisition Manager, Randstad Canada
At Randstad Canada, earning a spot as a "Best Place to Work in Canada" by the Great Place to Work ® Institute Canada for the 8th year in a row is a pretty important cool for us. What makes this win so important to us is that the results were determined by the people who know our company best – our employees!
After 8 consecutive wins, it's quite an honour and it's become crystal clear that we indeed have a lot to be proud of. Ranked amongst the top 50 in the country, next to impressive multinational organizations like Google, Microsoft and Starbucks, this announcement solidifies that Randstad Canada is truly a great place to work.
Best workplace lists and accolades make it clear that being a good employer is good for business, but becoming a top-rated employer is not a matter of chance. The best employers know that they benefit from their reputation and they make decisions every day to ensure that their status as a great place to work is maintained.
Becoming an employer of choice isn't easy. It means taking an honest look at your organization's culture and having a clear idea of what you want it to become. That may result in acknowledging some difficult truths and making internal changes. But the rewards are hard to overstate. You'll boast the best workers, performing their best work, all while positively impacting your business' bottom line.
So what can you do as an organization in order to gain recognition as a top employer? While there is no magic formula, the following tips will set you on the right path towards becoming an employer of choice.
Figure out what it's really like to work for your company and then identify the good and bad.
Project managers help teams deliver products, tools and programs on time and on budget. Aspiring PMs can pull their leadership lessons from history, mentors or training. Some of the most important project managers of all time were military leaders - directing large teams to complete dangerous tasks. Two such leaders were T.E. Lawrence and Joan of Arc.
Lesson 1: Sometimes it is best to give teams and managers leeway to both make mistakes and produce unpredictable results.
Thomas Edward Lawrence also known as Lawrence of Arabia was made infamous for his role in uniting the Bedouins tribes during World War I, to mobilize them to fight the Ottoman Empire was a man who was given enough freedom in his role as a field commander to make the impossible, possible.
Having travelled throughout much of the middle east as an academic and a field archeologist, he was specially suited through language and cultural knowledge to liaise between the English military and various parties in the region.
His commanders were busy in their part of the war and gave him enough room to operate in a unique style - taking their garb and adopting the cultural traditions of the Bedouins tribes he rallied them together helping the growing Arab revolt take hold. In doing so he rallied them against an English enemy winning some of the most stunning victories in battles of the last century.
Lesson 2: Project managers need to manage peoples' talents, skills, ambitions and expectations as well as a projects' budgets and timelines.
Lesson 3: Just because someone's idea sounds insane to you one day, doesn't mean they are wrong and that they won't make it happen.
When an illiterate farm girl who claimed to hear the voice of God telling her to lead an army against the English in 1429 the King of France at the time, Charles VII, did what any good leader who was behind the eight ball on a project might do, he said (I'm paraphrasing here) "Go for it Joan, that sounds crazy enough to work."
Joan's conviction which started years earlier when she said she received visions from God and a message to help drive the English from France led her to passionately make her point up the chain of command.
Lesson 4: Find people who believe in your plan and refine your pitch until it finds its audience, or you become more effective at persuading the people who need to be persuaded. Joan found people to listen to her idea, she made a case for it passionately and when it came down to execution she got it done.
She was laughed at along the way until the King of France agreed that at least she believed what she was saying, and with hope in little else, he invested in arming her with horse and armor and let her march on Orleans.
She became a moral leader to the army and helped make the war one of religion instead of power and money. After being shot in the neck and shoulder by an arrow, Joan stayed on the field of battle carrying a battle standard and was attributed much of the credit for the ending of a months' long siege. and taking Orleans.
After defeating the English in many battles, she fought a group of French dissidents who had broken from the Catholic Church. She'd demanded their conversion back to Catholicism and following a subsequent battle she was captured by a fellow Frenchman, sold to the English, put on trial on nonsense charges and then executed by being burned at the stake. Later she was found to be innocent.
Lesson 5: One big lesson from Joan's story is one of caution. Know when to stop when you've won. Don't over extended yourself and get burned at the stake for your ideals; stay flexible and role with the punches.
Last week with the reveal that the Heartbleed vulnerability was exposing peoples' private information to identify thieves we ran down a list of best practices of things to leave off your resume.
This week we want to share three other tips to help you keep yourself secure while you're on the job hunt.
In every coffee shop in the country there are open networks to surf the Internet on. You also have Bluetooth equipment connecting your phone to your computer or your mouse. If at all possible avoid jumping on open networks, this is a great way to expose yourself to data risk.
Instead, try tethering to your phone, which you can password protect. Also, make sure you password protect your Bluetooth transmissions, because that's another easy way to gain access to your private data.
If you must use a Starbucks Internet connection don't do any banking, or make and online purchases over the network. You might still be open to risk but you'll make it a little harder for criminals to access your credit information.
When you need a job sometimes we apply to positions that are a little risky. You might find a contract job on Craigslist, or a fulltime position with a company you've never heard of, that your friends don't know anything about and who's website looks like it was made yesterday.
It isn't hard to build a website, it isn't hard to post a job ad. You need look into company's and their reputations before sharing all of your personal information with them and even more important, when you begin to work with them. Ask yourself, is this company a licensed business? What processes are in place to keep my information secure? How am I going to be paid?
If some of these questions start raising red flags, or if after working with someone for a year you don't receive any T-4 information for tax purposes there may be something untoward going on. Reputable companies will have processes to follow when you begin working if you haven't heard about the company find out as much as you can before applying.
When you are meeting new people, whether it is a date or an interview it is best to let other people know. Most first meetings today are done in public, but if you are interviewing for a new job in a private office it is always a good idea to tell a friend or family member where and when you are going; if only to have someone call you afterward and ask you how it went.

Benny Carter: Four Classic Albums Plus (Benny Carter, Jazz Giant / Swingin The 20s / Sax Ala Carter! / Aspects) (2CD)
Ref: AMSC1048
(UK Postage Free )
AVID Jazz here presents four classic Benny Carter albums including original LP liner notes on a finely re-mastered and low priced double CD.
Benny Carter, Jazz Giant, Swingin The 20s, Sax Ala Carter! and Aspects
Giants dont come much bigger than Benny Carter, except maybe for Ben Webster .and weve got them both together for our first album on this fine CD set! A stunning line up join our giants for these sessions recorded in 1957 & 1958. Frank Rosolino on trombone, Andre Previn on piano (an underrated jazz pianist!), Barney Kessel on guitar, Leroy Vinegar on bass and Shelly Manne on drums. Old meets new for our next selection Swingin The 20s, Benny is joined by legendary pianist Earl Hines for their first recorded session together. These two seasoned jazz men here show they are unafraid to take on the modern guys here represented by Leroy Vinegar and Shelly Manne the set was completely improvised ..the quartet just played! Another quartet but, a different approach for Sax Ala Carter! recorded in 1960 ..standards in a relaxed style are the order of the day. Benny is joined by Jimmy Knowles on piano, Leroy Vinegar on bass and Mel Lewis on drums. All change again for these sessions from 1958 & 1959, Benny gathers together his first big band since the 1940s for Aspects. This time of course it would not be a touring band but a recording band. The members were all handpicked from Hollywoods finest musicians solely for the purpose of making the record. Among the musicians were Shorty Sherock, Pete Condoli, Tommy Pederson, Buddy Colette and Shelly Manne
All four albums have been digitally re-mastered for probably the finest ever sound quality!
