ATLANTA, Aug. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Randstad Technologies Employee Confidence Index, a measure of overall confidence among technology workers, declined slightly in the second quarter of 2014 to 58.7 from 60.0 the previous quarter. The quarterly study, conducted online by Harris Poll on behalf of talent and solutions provider Randstad Technologies, showed technology workers have maintained the most consistent levels of employee confidence compared to other professions surveyed by Randstad. The study was conducted in April, May and June of 2014 among 186 U.S. IT workers aged 18 and older.
Despite waning confidence in the strength of the economy and job availability, IT workers showed greater confidence in their ability to find a new job and in their own personal employment situation. Only 34 percent of technology employees believe the economy is getting stronger, a 10 percentage point decline from the first quarter of 2014. In addition, nearly half (45%) believe there are fewer jobs available this quarter. However, when it comes to IT workers' personal situation, 51 percent are confident in their ability to find a new job, and 63 percent are confident in the future of their current employer—five percentage point increases for both measures from Q1.
"As the economy recovers at a quicker pace, we see many of our clients prioritizing efficiency and therefore implementing a lean IT model composed of a technology team of internal resources and outsourced talent," said Bob Dickey, Group President of Technology and Engineering at Randstad. "In fact, many companies are outsourcing all or certain segments of their IT platform, particularly for hard-to-find IT skills.
"For example, there are two high demand segments of the IT sector which represent both traditional skills and the most cutting-edge," continued Dickey. "SAP database skills may seem outdated, but the demand is still quite high. In part because SAP isn't ground-breaking, finding database resources is difficult today and will only grow more challenging in the future.
"Then there's the Internet of Things (IoT) – predicted by Gartner to grow to 26 billion units in 2020, a nearly 30-fold increase from 2009," said Dickey. "A recent survey of 400 IT professionals in the U.S. and U.K., commissioned by Infoblox, found 90 percent of respondents are either planning or already implementing solutions to cope with the increased demands on networking caused by IoT projects. Seventy-three percent of respondents believe they are very or quite likely to receive more staff next year due to IoT demands."
Q2 2014 Survey Highlights:
Confidence in the Economy Wanes in Second Quarter
- Technology professionals' confidence in the overall economy decreased by 10 percentage points this quarter, with only 34 percent believing the economy is getting stronger.
Workers' Sense of Job Security Rebounds
- Nearly three-quarters (73%) of IT workers reported it is not likely they will lose their job in the next 12 months, an increase of seven percentage points from 66 percent last quarter.
Fewer IT Workers Likely to Job Hunt
- Only 29 percent of IT employees say they are likely to look for a new job in the next year, compared to 35 percent in the previous quarter, while 57 percent say they are not likely to do so.
More than Half of IT Workers Confident in Ability to Find New Jobs
- Fifty-one percent of IT workers say they are confident in their ability to find a new job, while only 17 percent do not feel confident in their ability to land a new job.
Survey Methodology
This survey was conducted online within the United States by Harris Poll on behalf of Randstad Technologies from April 7-9, May 8-12 and June 4-6, 2014 among 3,352 adults ages 18 and older, of which 186 are employed in IT. This online survey is not based on a probability sample and therefore no estimate of theoretical sampling error can be calculated.

Rajasthan Congress MLA alleges irregularities in assessing crop damage
Jaipur: Accusing Rajasthan government of working against the interests of farmers, a Congress MLA Saturday alleged irregularities in assessing damage to crops in his constituency in Jalore district during the last Kharif crops season.
Congress MLA Sukhram Bishnoi, who represents Sanchor constituency of Jalore district, alleged that senior officers in the district changed the damage assessment reports prepared by Tehsilars on the basis of Girdawari report conducted in the field.
He claimed that Tehsildars of Sanchor and Chitalwana Tehsils, which fall under his assembly constituency, had submitted their reports to the collector in which they mentioned that the damage was 50-57 and 63 per cent respectively in October last year.
"Later, revised reports with assessment of damage less than 50 per cent in both the Tehsils were submitted due to which the affected farmers could not get compensation as compensation is given only after the damage is more than 50 per cent," Bishnoi told reporters here.
He said that the question was raised in the legislative assembly earlier this year but no action was taken against the officers.
Demanding action against the officers, Bishnoi announced to hold a dharna on July 7.
"The government is shielding the collector and other senior officers and took action against six Patwaris. I demand from the government to take action against the collector. With this demand, I will be sitting on a dharna on July 7 and if no action was taken by the government, I would begin a fast unto death from July 9 in Jaipur," he said.
When contacted, Jalore collector Rajan Vishan rejected the allegations and said that the report was not changed.
"I had asked the Tehsildar to submit the report in proper format, not to revise the facts. The allegation that the assessment report was changed is baseless," he said.

The post How to View and Recover iTunes Backup files on Windows? appeared first on TechyWhack.]]>
How to backup iPhone data?
There are two main ways through which you can backup your iPhone data:
Using a computer: You can store all your data as a backup in your personal computer. Apple products are known to have unfriendly relations with other devices when it comes to connectivity but your computer need not necessarily be Macbook or an iMac to take the backup of your phone. Since you need iTunes software for backup and iTunes is available for both Mac and Windows, it becomes for the users to safeguard their data.
All you need to do is install iTunes on your system. Then open it and login with your Apple ID. Once iTunes is open, connect your iPhone to the system. Make sure that the phone's power is on. Once a phone is successfully connected, click on 'File' option on the top corner menu in iTunes Window and choose Devices.

Using iCloud: As you know, through iCloud we can save our data on off-site servers, access it from anywhere and save our local storage. Apple has its own Cloud storage service called iCloud. The only thing you need to back up your files in iCloud is a good internet connection. One small drawback with iCloud is that only 5GB data storage space is free. If you want to expand this space, there are extra charges for it. But iCloud is a safer way to store as there is no chance of losing data by system crash or malfunction. To back up your data to iCloud, you need to go to Settings, select iCloud and login to it. Then you can select all those apps whose data you want on the iCloud.
Issues with iTunes in Windows
iTunes sometimes might crash or not work on a Windows operating system. In the earlier version like Vista and XP the issue was prevalent but now with so many updates the issues have been very rare in Windows 10. But yet if you face issues running iTunes on Windows, here are few things which you can try to resolve the issue.
1. Check for updates of iTunes for Windows. If there are any new updates, install them and then try running the program. This would solve the issue.
2. If there are no updates available and it shows issues, then you can try running iTunes in safe mode to see if it is the App issue or the system issue. If it works perfectly fine in the safe mode, then uninstalling the plugins should resolve the problem.
3. You can disconnect your computer from the internet and try opening the iTunes again
The simplest thing to do would be to restart the computer and try to open iTunes

How to Restore Backup to iPhone
If you did take your backup through iTunes or iCloud, then you can directly restore your backup.
When you connect your phone to your system through iTunes, you will get an option to restore the backup right next to the 'create backup' option. But what if the backup files iTunes created have been corrupted or affected by the virus? All your phone data is in those backup files and without them you really cannot recover your data.
There is no manual way to recover iTunes backed files but you can take the help of a third party tool for that. There are many tools available in the market that can help you out with this, but we strongly recommend Stellar Phoenix Data Recovery for iOS. This amazing software can recover lost or deleted data from all iPhones such as 6s,6, 5s, 5, 4s and 4 as well. It supports iOS 6.x, 7.x, 8.4, 9.0 and above versions. It can recover contacts, photos, iMessages, notes, reminders and even WhatsApp messages. It has a very easy-to-use interface and it recovers data quickly.

The post Digital Nomads Rise of the Telecommuting Entrepreneurs appeared first on TechyWhack.]]>
For instance, digital nomads tend to travel the world and at the same time, use technology to keep their work done. But how is this possible and how do people work from their recreation vehicles, café shops or public libraries? Here are some of the things which make that possible.
More and more people all over the world started becoming something that is today known as the freelancer. Drawn by custom working hours and their wish for freedom and fast money, many people gave up their jobs to work as freelancers.
Digital nomads are no different, for they also committed to the world of freelancing and are utilizing its possibilities to the maximum. Nomads are free both in their minds and the environment and tend to use different ways of telecommunication to finish their jobs. But in the end, they are just better and improved freelancers.
Do not try to imagine nomads as people who travel the world and see many different locations. This is work related, and in this case, nomadism stands not for the different way of working, but for the different way of living in general. Digital nomads tend to work in groups and support each other.
Once you embark on such a journey, get ready to completely change your life and at the same time, you will be forced to give up life as you know it and embrace the uncertain future. There are many nomad communities out there, both in public and on social networks. If you are interested in becoming one of them, seek them out for help and see if you have what it takes to become one of them.
Similar to superheroes, each digital nomad is equipped with certain gadgets that make his work easier. In this case, it is a smartphone and a powerful laptop filled with different apps. These apps are created to help them improve their time management, work and also help them stay in touch with the world, communicate with their employers and finish their jobs easier.
Also, they use apps that keep track of all of their payments, apps that organize their work hours and apps that keep track of the currency and stock market. As a digital nomad, you have to stay in touch with everything.
Being in this business means keeping tons of important documents and files, both important for private and professional purposes. And for a person living like a digital nomad, where else could he hold all these information than on online cloud storage. Every digital nomad needs an encrypted cloud storage to keep his documents and files safe just in case something happens with his laptop, or if he gets out of storage space on his hard drive.
Many are available on both Google and Apple store, yet most of them offer 250 gigabytes for around $100 per year. By doing this, they are able to access their data at all times, organize and share them, and the app is automatically synchronized with your laptop.
Finally, the most important part about digital nomadism is traveling. Many of these people tend to travel the globe and are never bound to one place or working desk. This is the advantage of this job; you get to go wherever you want and still hold a full-time job. What is even better, you can focus on creating new things while at the same time meeting new people and establishing new connections.
Living as a digital nomad sounds tempting, yet people still love the safer option which promises pension and contract. Those brave enough to embark on this journey and be successful at it shall find many great opportunities and see life beyond their comfort zone.

Openings are still available at the annual Bravissimo music camp, June 20-24, for children in grades 3-5. This is the first, and possibly the only, year that Bravissimo has been geared toward younger kids, according to Mark Steighner, who will be teaching at the camp along with Kathy Hannen-Smith.
It was originally created as a musical enrichment program for middle school and high school students. This year, because of the cutbacks in the music program in elementary schools, the camp was reworked to fill that void. Special guest presenters will include Karin Tauscher, who teaches African marimba.
The deadline for registration is May 27; tuition is $55 and there are a limited number of partial scholarships available to those who qualify for free and reduced-fee school lunches.
The tuition includes all materials, snacks and a recorder. The camp will run Monday through Friday, June 20-24, from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Call Community Education, 386-2055, to register.

"A few weeks ago, I made the trip to Schneider's headquarters to learn more about the company and what it stands for," said Lawler. "There's such a unique culture at Schneider. It feels like family."
"We're joining forces with Lindsay as she celebrates and honors some of the hardest working, most authentic people in America — professional truck drivers," says Rob Reich, vice president at Schneider. "Lindsay's music and her messages are a great reminder of how important this profession is to our quality of life and to keeping the wheels of commerce moving in this country. Sponsoring her Truck Stop Tour allows us to connect with drivers and gives Schneider the opportunity to say 'thank you' in a fun, creative way."
As part of its sponsorship, the company has equipped Lawler with a brand new tour vehicle, wrapped to promote Schneider, Lawler, and the tour.

Car dealer charged with failing to provide titles
SOUTH SALT LAKE — A car dealer is accused of selling cars but failing to provide the vehicles' titles.
Michael Toscano, 42, of South Jordan, is charged with four counts of failure by a dealer to deliver a title of origin, a class A misdemeanor, according to charges filed Monday in 3rd District Court.
Four individuals who purchased cars in November from Mike's Motors, 3830 S. Main, paying between $7,000 and $24,000, had not received the title and registration for the vehicles by mid-January.
One car buyer told police Toscano had instructed her she would have to file a complaint against his business because it was closing, charges state.

Call for 24-hour service
Relevant offers
Residents are calling for a 24-hour medical service on the Hibiscus Coast.
But the Waitemata District Health Board says effective after-hours cover already exists, with four 24-hour medical facilities in addition to the two emergency departments at Waitakere and North Shore hospitals.
Hatfields Beach resident Lindsay Clark says the service is not providing effective cover. A number of Rodney and Hibiscus Coast residents, including Lindsay Clark of Hatfields Beach, say the service is not providing effective cover.
Waitakere Hospital and Henderson White Cross are a stone's throw away from each other on Lincoln Rd in Henderson, he says.
North Shore Hospital and Shore Care Smales Farm in Takapuna face each other across Taharoto Rd.
That leaves Coast to Coast Care in Wellsford, and an on-call service in Helensville provided by GPs in Henderson, which is not a walk-in service.
"I've got two kids and if I need to get them urgent medical treatment then it is going to be half an hour in non-peak traffic to North Shore Hospital and that concerns me," Clark says.
The Hibiscus Coast is one of the fastest growing areas in New Zealand and has a higher than average number of people at risk of requiring medical treatment in the under-5 and over-65 age groups, he says.
Nearly 20,000 people are expected to move to the area over the coming years and Clark would like to see the health board do something sooner rather than later.
Karlie Spain of Stanmore Bay says a 24-hour service and improved existing facilities are needed.
Her three children have asthma and developed respiratory illnesses and croup from living in their previous Red Beach home which was damp.
She bundled up her 18-month-old daughter Lotus who was 5 months when she got croup and took her to Coastcare Accident and Medical Centre which closes at 8pm.
"I got there a few minutes before 8pm and they had already shut, and everyone was gone.
"I've had to make so many trips to Smales Farm as that is the closest 24/7 after hours care we have. I find it ridiculous we have enough population on the Hibiscus Coast alone to support five, soon to be six, supermarkets - but we can't have a medical service after 8pm."
Three weeks ago her 21-year-old stepdaughter had a serious asthma attack at 8.30pm on a week night and had to be taken to North Shore Hospital.
"We were in the hospital for seven hours to get her treatments they could have done at an A&E if it was open," Spain says.
Health board funding director Dr Debbie Holdsworth says current arrangements for access to 24/7 care more than meet Ministry of Health requirements and are better than many other DHBs.
"If a private provider were to see an opportunity to further enhance after-hours cover, we would be keen to meet them.
"Waitemata DHB is working with the after-hours network to look at future after-hours needs as our population continues to grow," Holdsworth says.

Overnight Open Thread - Pre-Hurricane Edition
NC Governor Declares Every CCW Permit in East NC Invalid Due to Hurricane Irene
In his defense this probably wasn't
Thanks to a brain-dead state law foisted upon us by a Democratic state legislature (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 14-288.7), every time the governorin this instance, Democrat Beverly Perduedeclares a state of emergency, it is illegal from that moment onward to carry a concealed weapon until the state of emergency has been declared over.This is an idiotic law and any arrests are just asking for jury nullification. So what are the NC laws on open carry?

Russia Approves Siberia-Alaska Railway
The 64-mile (103km) tunnel would connect the far east of Russia with Alaska, opening up the prospect of the ultimate rail trip across three quarters of the globe from London to New York. The link would be twice as long as the Channel Tunnel connecting Britain and France.
Russian officials insist that the tunnel is an economic idea whose time has now come and that it could be ready within ten years. They argue that it would repay construction costs by stimulating up to 100 million tons of freight traffic each year, as well as supplying oil, gas and electricity from Siberia to the US and Canada.
Funny Amazon Reviews
The Wonder That Is Vodka
But through it all, there is one constant, a commodity that has not only survived during these harsh economic times, but even thrived.
My favorite (which I found to be sweet, citrusy, and with only a slight burn) was Skyy, a vodka I actually do enjoy. Second was Stolichnaya (almost minty). Third was an artisanal vodka called Smooth Ambler (which has those hints of aforementioned banana but felt a little rough around the edges). Much to my surprise, my least favorite turned out to be Ketel One, a vodka I would normally choose over Stolichnaya. But perhaps this shouldnt have come as a surprise. In 2005 the New York Times conducted its own tasting of 21 super premium and craft vodkas. The coordinator, Bernard Kirsch, however, had secretly inserted Smirnoff into the mix.
16 Things You Should Never Microwave
New Things To Fret Over: Do You Have Cleavage Wrinkles?
According to the New York Times: "Cleavage wrinkles are deep, vertical creases caused by hours spent sleeping on ones side, where gravity forces the top breast to bend farther past the bodys midline than it should. The lines can also be caused by sports and push-up bras, which smush the breasts together and are often worn for hours."
And Is Your Dog Watching Too Much TV?
Probably. And that time could be better spent butt-licking and chasing squirrels.
Dogs in the UK watch almost an hour of TV every day, according to new research.

Our wedding looked beautiful. BB Chair Covers crew was awsome. The table linens and chair covers were stunning, not to mention backdrop and centerpieces that they did. Everything was done to perfection and we are very happy that we used BB Chair Covers. At the beggining we had doubts about centerpieces, but at the end we realized there was no need for any doubt or concern, because BB Chair Covers exceeded our expectations. Very satisfied with their service and qulity, as well as pricing which was very reasonable.

I was looking for a pinata for my kid's party that looked authentic and not like those regular party store types. I lucked out when a friend told me about Las Pinatas. Not only are the hand made, but the owner made one exactly to my directions and at a really decent price. Another plus, their pretty big and they last. I also bought and indoor pinata from him and that worked out great as well. Just glad that there are small businesses' that still make cool stuff.
I go to Jeannie's Let's Celebrate for all my party supply needs. They have a great staff that is so helpful in fulfilling your every need for your party. They always go above and beyond! They have balloon bouquets that are beautiful and inexpensive! I just bought my kids Halloween costumes from there and they have Halloween costumes for only $8.99! That's perfect for me since I'm on a tight budget! I would definitely recommend shopping here!

Illustration: The New Yorker marks 9/11 anniversary with archive of potent covers
Today is the 13th anniversary of the attacks on the Twin Towers and a day of sober reflection on that world-changing day. Unsurprisingly The New Yorker has dedicated several covers to the tragedy and its aftermath over the years, and this week they posted a slideshow of 12 of the best. From Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly's dark-outlined early contribution to more satirical efforts in subsequent years, the covers provide a potent reminder of the power illustration can still wield in modern society.

Kirstie Alley to Pose in Bikini on Upcoming "Oprah Winfrey Show"
Kirstie Alley to pose in bikini. Can you believe that? This just in. The once-overweight actress is set to pose in her bikini on Monday's Nov 6th "Oprah Winfrey Show".
It's been nearly a year that Kirstie on Nov 7th, 2005 appeared on Oprah Winfrey's talk show, saying she was inspired by a guest who had lost 70 lbs. and went on to win a Miss Bikini America pageant. She said "You know how I said every 15 pounds I have to challenge myself? I'm thinking this would be a really good challenge. If I don't make it, I'm really sorry. You can all come over to my house and see me in a bikini. But I think that would be a grand challenge."
On why she wants to pose in bikini on Oprah, Kirstie explained "The most important reason I want to wear a bikini on Oprah, however, is because if I, a 55-year-old woman, can look even halfway decent, imagine how all of you could look in a bikini. Hell, I'll never look like Giselle, I never did! But maybe close to Bridget Jones or a Dove girl or something that is just fine and healthy and happy, with no surgery, no lipo and no drugs, that's saying something!"

All the #NRL Teamlists and officials are in for this weekend's action - Round 17 of the Telstra Prem...
7 hours ago - 2 Likes
Queensland selectors will receive a medical report from the New Zealand Warriors today before deciding whether to include hooker PJ Marsh in the Maroons squad for the second State of Origin game.
Marsh spent Saturday night in a Sydney hospital after suffering a neck injury during the Warriors' 28-26 loss to Parramatta at Parramatta Stadium.
The Queensland number nine has ligament damage but was cleared of bone damage today and given permission to return to Auckland last night with his neck in a brace. Warriors doctor Chris Hanna will examine Marsh in the morning and Maroons selector Des Morris has confirmed they will be guided by his report.
Roosters utility Michael Crocker looms as the likely replacement if Marsh is unable to play.

Deputy Secretary-General: Statements
New York, 24 June 2016 - Deputy Secretary-General's Remarks to the Joint Meeting of ECOSOC and Peacebuilding Commission [as prepared]
Ambassador Oh Joon, President of ECOSOC,
Ambassador Macharia Kamau, Chair of the Peacebuilding Commission,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I thank Ambassadors Oh and Kamau for organizing this joint meeting and, by that, for taking an important step towards the implementation of the General Assembly and Security Council resolutions on sustaining peace. You are doing this by focusing on the need for strategic and operational coherence both among Member States and within the UN system.
A central aspect of the concept of sustaining peace is the recognition that peacebuilding is not only a post-conflict activities, but also steps that needs to be taken before, during and after conflict.
The resolutions explicitly state that we need to prevent the outbreak, escalation, continuation and recurrence of conflict.
In our peacekeeping operations and humanitarian action, the international community and the UN focus primarily on the acute phase of conflicts.
However, we need to pay more attention to the periods both before the outbreak of violence and at the end of violent conflicts.
During these periods, the UN is mostly represented by Country Teams, consisting of the agencies, fund and programmes of the UN system. We should note that the recent General Assembly and Security Council resolutions assign clear responsibility to sustain peace to the entire UN system.
This is why the topic of today's meeting is so important, connecting peacebuilding and sustainable development.
Let me mention a few areas where I see a strong relationship between the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the new peacebuilding resolutions.
First, both recognize that each country has primary responsibility for implementing the 2030 Agenda and sustaining peace.
Second, both emphasize the importance of preventing violent conflict and of building peaceful societies.
Third, both strongly stress the interdependence of the challenges we are confronting and the comprehensive approaches we need to address them.
Complex tasks – whether promoting sustainable development or sustaining peace – cannot be divided into silos, be compartmentalized. If problems are connected, then the solutions must be as well. Peace and security, development and human rights are inextricably linked and mutually reinforcing.
Fourth, let us recognize that there are various drivers of violent conflicts. Several of them are of socio-economic and environmental character, such as economic, social and environmental inequalities, lack of jobs, poor natural resource management and lacking adaptation to climate change.
Fifth, inclusive, effective and accountable institutions and the rule of law are fundamental to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and to sustaining peace.
Institutions strongly determine the allocation of resources, the functioning of markets, the delivery of social services and the management of natural resources. Equally, they often determine the mitigation of and solutions to conflicts, access to justice and protection of human rights.
Sixth, and finally, Agenda 2030 and the peacebuilding resolutions recognize that we need to work collectively as "one" across the UN system. This we must do in order to provide coherent support to Member States in their efforts to meet the targets they have set for themselves.
This work should be based on joint analysis, covering development, human rights, peace and humanitarian issues and should be driven to achieve collective outcomes.
Conflict-affected countries were lagging significantly during the MDGs process. Extreme poverty has increasingly been concentrated in countries facing conflicts.
The Sustainable Development Goals will, in my view, not be reached if we are not able to sustain peace.
Nor will we be able to sustain peace if we do not address the drivers that are related to the achievement of the SDGs. We need to place a focus on conflict-affected countries if we are to leave no-one behind.
The World Humanitarian Summit has challenged us all to develop systemic responses to transcend the development-humanitarian divide.
Requests for more resources and more coordination are not enough to achieve this objective. We need to focus on coherent institutional responses across the three pillars and work to change our mind-sets.
The UN presence on the ground – in mission, as well as non-mission, settings - should aim to respond strategically and operationally to the new challenges set by the 2030 Agenda and the sustaining peace resolutions.
We need to be adequately resourced to invest in sustaining peace before, during and after conflict. And we need to provide support in a coherent manner from the leadership of all parts of the UN system.
The ongoing discussions – like this one today – on the long-term positioning of the UN Development System and the overarching framework of the United Nations operational activities are important opportunities to address these crucial issues.
I look forward to a broader and deeper exchange of views on our common important challenges. I wish you a productive meeting.
Thank you.

The dress was a great color bright blue as the site shows.

I am very pleased and deffinetly expect me back. Perfect sums up my experience with Kissy Dress. :)
