Monstrously Stupid Recycling Laws Fine People Who Waste Less
SO, we think there should be less stuff wasted. Sounds like a plan: so, therefore we will fine people who waste less. This is, well, this is monstrously stupid, isn't it? But it is what the European Union is going to do to Britain. We now waste less paper and glass than we used to. Therefore we are going to be fined.
Recycling rates will fall for the first time in over 10 years due to "green fatigue" caused by councils imposing numerous confusing bins on households, one of the country's biggest bin collectors has predicted.
The fall will make it almost certain that Britain will miss tough EU targets of recycling half of all household waste by 2020.
A combination of "green fatigue", declining glass usage, and local authority budget cuts are also likely to have contributed to the fall, which risks the UK having to pay millions of pounds in fines.

Montenegrin Patriarch: Conchita Wurst Caused the Balkan Floods
SO says one of the more conservative churchmen of the Balkans, that Conchita Wurst, the bearded bloke in a dress who won the Eurovision song contest, caused the Balkan Floods that have forced 150,000 people from their homes. Quite remarkable what God gets pissed off about really, isn't it?
In more detail the claim is being made by the Montenegrin Patriarch, that the floods are not a coincidence. Oooh, no, it is a warning from God that people should not join the dark side. Although quite what's so dark about a bearded drag queen isn't explained in any detail:
Conchita Wurst is responsible for flooding that left over 50 people dead earlier this month, church leaders in the Balkans have claimed.
The Austrian drag artist, whose real name is Thomas Neuwirth, seized international attention after winning Eurovision 2014 with his hit Rise Like a Phoenix.
However, several church leaders have now claimed the recent devastating flooding across the Balkans, which was the worst in a century and left over 50 people dead, was "divine punishment" for Conchita's victory.
"This [flood] is not a coincidence, but a warning," Patriarch Amfilohije of Montenegro said, according to e.novine.com. "God sent the rains as a reminder that people should not join the wild side."

This Terribly Stupid Strike Against McDonald's
THERE'S a very stupid piece of labour activism going on over in the US. It's a series of strikes and demonstrations against McDonald's over the pay that the people working in the stores receive. The reason it's such a silly set of demos and strikes is simply that McDonald's doesn't actually employ the workers. So why shout at the people who can't change the situation?
More than 100 demonstrators seeking better pay for McDonald's workers were arrested as protesters swarmed the fast-food chain's corporate campus near Chicago demanding a minimum wage of $15 (£8.88) an hour and the right to unionise.
The protest against McDonald's Corp, the world's biggest restaurant operator by revenue, came a day before a shareholder vote on executive pay, including that of Chief Executive Don Thompson, who earned total compensation of $9.5 million (£5.62 million) in 2013.

In America Rising Court Fees Mean The Poor Always Go To Prison
IN America, if you're poor and you commit a crime, you go to prison. You need to pay your court fees. If you can't pay your court fees, the State will lock you up. To maintain law and order, they will feed you, cloth you and house you. It's a genius plan:
In Augusta, Ga., a judge sentenced Tom Barrett to 12 months after he stole a can of beer worth less than $2.
In Ionia, Mich., 19-year-old Kyle Dewitt caught a fish out of season; then a judge sentenced him to three days in jail.
In Grand Rapids, Mich., Stephen Papa, a homeless Iraq War veteran, spent 22 days in jail, not for what he calls his "embarrassing behavior" after he got drunk with friends and climbed into an abandoned building, but because he had only $25 the day he went to court.
The common thread in these cases, and scores more like them, is the jail time wasn't punishment for the crime, but for the failure to pay the increasing fines and fees associated with the criminal justice system.
A yearlong NPR investigation found that the costs of the criminal justice system in the United States are paid increasingly by the defendants and offenders. It's a practice that causes the poor to face harsher treatment than others who commit identical crimes and can afford to pay. Some judges and politicians fear the trend has gone too far.
A state-by-state survey conducted by NPR found that defendants are charged for many government services that were once free, including those that are constitutionally required….

Situations Pretty Vacant: The FBI Is Hiring Pot Smokers
THIS is rather fun. The FBI, over in the US, is one of the most staid and white bread organisations in the world. They're cops, of a sort, yes, but the internal culture at the place is still pretty much 50's America. Flag, Mom and apple pie. And one of the parts of that is that pot smoking is absolutely verboeten.
Yeah, we all know, half the damn country smokes it at some time or another and no one comes to any great harm. But then again the FBI is one of the organisations that has to try and track down the drug dealers so perhaps the policy isn't entirely stupid. The law is, but given the existence of the law the FBI might not be. But even here they've had to relax a little bit: you can apply for a job at the FBI if you have ever smoked pot (something they wouldn't allow if you had ever robbed a bank) but not if you've smoked it in the past three years.

Abu Hamza's Family Deserve All The British Benefits They Can Get
THE Daily Mail is on one of its head explodey little warpaths shouting about how the family of Abu Hookand (aka Abu Hamza) live off state benefits. But if they are in fact British then why the hell shouldn't they get the same benefits, rights to them, as any other British people?
There was growing anger last night that Abu Hamza's family are continuing to be bankrolled by the British public.
As the hate preacher was convicted of 11 terror offences in the U.S., it emerged his wife and children are still being housed at an extortionate cost in one of the most upmarket areas of the country.
It is thought the family have cost taxpayers more than £3million in benefits and social housing, as well as legal fees for Hamza and his sons.
Hamza's second wife Najat Mostafa, 55, with whom he has seven children, lives in a £1.25 million five-bedroom council house in Shepherd's Bush, West London – an area popular with bankers and City lawyers.
Last night, neighbours said they were 'sickened' the family were continuing to benefit from state handouts.

Stripper Wants 'Booty And Boobs Back' From Man Who Says She Stole His Laptop And Harry Potter DVDs
ARE YOU READY TOP MEET THE WORLD'S SADDEST MAN and his hard-nosed former lover, who just happens to be a stripper named…Moaner?
Robert Wallace, 32, says he broke up with exotic dancer Nomi Mims on May 3, and then waited a week for her to give him back the things he lent her—$2,000, a laptop, and the aforementioned DVDs—before taking legal action.
Those were Harry Potter DVDs.
Mims says she "really likes him as a friend," and the items and cash were gifts, not loans.
"I don't believe in loans because I don't want to pay anybody back," she told FOX 26.

Wheat Watch: This Is About Irrigation Not The Crop Being Grown
AN interesting little report trying to insist that people who grow rice are more social, more cooperative, than people who grow wheat. Unfortunately, while the phenomenon they describe might well be true they've not quite ascribed it to the correct cause. It's not the crop being grown that makes the difference but the method of growing the crop:
Scientists have long wondered why the U.S. and Europe are so culturally different to China and other countries in Eastern Asia.
Now one study claims the answer lies in an unexpected area: the different farming methods used by people living in the East and West.
While Westerners are known for their individualism and analytical thinking, eastern culture tends to be interdependent and holistic, the study claims.

Bob Marley's Ghost Arrives In Court
ONE thing you can always rely on, with the music industry, is that someone is going to sue someone else, trying to stake a claim to a song, or music, they had no part in writing.
And people wonder why the music industry is on its arse.
This time, the High Court in London is hearing arguments in a copyright dispute over 13 songs by Bob Marley. You'll know Bob Marley because, to 90% of the world, he's the only human on Earth who ever recorded a reggae record.

Pass The Happy Pills: The Internet Is Depressing The Children!
ONE of the great problems in this modern world is that people are forever confusing cause and effect. Or if you prefer, forgetting that correlation does not mean causation. And so it is with this latest report that the internet is making our precious little children sad. For what's forgotten, not even considered here, is that it could well be that sad people, those with few friends in the real world, go on hte internet more than others, instead of it being going online that makes people sad:
Children who spend too much time on the internet are developing mental health problems, according to government health advisors.
Those who sit behind a screen for more than four hours a day are particularly at risk, although very low levels of use can cause issues, they say.
Public Health England, which issues guidelines to the NHS, said children face social problems such as loneliness, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and heightened aggression as a result of overusing computers.
The huge improvements made in children's welfare over the last 20 years had now been "curtailed and may now be in reverse", it said.
In a dossier to MPs it warned of a clear relationship between the amount of time spent on social media sites such as Facebook and "lower levels of well-being".

How To Have More Sex – The Huge Secret Is Out
ONCE again the scientists have come to our rescue, explaining one of the world's great mysteries. Why is it that some people en up having more sex with more people than some others? We could posit that good looking people have more offers. Or that intelligent people know how to manipulate people into offering it. Or rich people flash the cash and get offered it. Or, well, come up with your own theory, why not?
As it happens this vital research has been one for us and the answer is that more highly sexed people get more sex:
How intensely a person responds to sexual images can be linked his or her number of sexual partners, according to a new study.
Researchers at the University of California of Los Angeles asked 40 male and 22 female subjects how many sex partners they had last year before they showed them 225 images, both sexual and non-sexual.
The researchers analyzed subjects' 'late positive potential, which reacts to images depending on their emotional intensity,' by using an electroencephalogram (EEG), according to a press release. People with more sex partners reacted in the same way when they looked at 'graphic and less-graphic' images.

Jill Abramson Is Punch Drunk: I'd Edit The NY Times For Much Less Than You
BACK in April, the New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson told us about the T-for-Times tattoo on her back.
One month later Abramson was sacked. Her offence? She had been moaning about her meagre wages.
As executive editor, Abramson's starting salary in 2011 was $475,000, compared to Keller's salary that year, $559,000. Her salary was raised to $503,000, and – only after she protested – was raised again to $525,000.
She learned that her salary as managing editor, $398,000, was less than that of the male managing editor for news operations, John Geddes. She also learned that her salary as Washington bureau chief, from 2000 to 2003, was a hundred thousand dollars less than that of her successor in that position, Phil Taubman.

Omega 3 Fatty Acids Do Absolutely Bugger All For Your Heart
IT'S a generally accepted bit of health woo that there are good animal fats and bad ones. The nice tasty kind, lard, beef dripping and so on are very bad for you: cause a heart attack as soon as you look at them. There's also the good ones, like from fish, seal and whale blubber, known as Omega 3 fatty acids. These must be good for you because they taste like crap.
And thus we get thousands of people waxing rich on flogging us fish pills to protect our hearts.
There's even some sciency bits behind this. For researchers did declare that Inuit (aka Eskimos to us less than PC types) had low levels of heart disease because they ate all that fish and whale blubber.

Of Course Beer Goggles Exist: How Else Do you think Us Mingers Get Laid?
IT'S quite remarkable how scientists manage to come up with proofs of what everyone over the age of 12 already knows. Time and time again we get press releases telling us that this or that piece of obvious, culturally embedded, good sense is indeed actually true. That they're proving these things with our tax money does rather grate but perhaps it's better that these people be kept in the labs rather than being out in the community or anything.
The latest is proof that beer goggles exist:
Finding people more attractive after a few drinks has long been known as the 'beer goggle' effect – but experts are divided about whether this phenomenon actually exists.
To put it to the test, researchers from Bristol conducted lab experiments to gauge whether drink changed people's perceptions of what is attractive.
Volunteers were asked to look at photos of men, women and landscapes before and after drinking – and in every category alcohol affected their perceptions.

Cameron Is Right: Of Course Gary Barlow Can Keep His Poxy OBE
SO. Gary Barlow's been found to have "invested" in a tax avoidance scheme. So therefore there are cries that he should be stripped of his OBE, or hand it back himself. The very idea of which is bloody stupid.
For he's not actually broken the law as yet. He'll only do that if he doesn't stump up the tax which HMRC now thinks is rightfully due.
David Cameron today insisted it is not 'necessary' for Gary Barlow to be stripped of his OBE despite a court ruling the Take That star had invested in a massive tax avoidance scheme.
Barlow has been branded 'unethical' by one MP and faced a barrage of criticism on social media, but the Prime Minister insisted the singer had 'done a huge amount for the country' including raising money for charity.
Much as it pains me to say this Cameron is correct here. Even if not for the right reason.

Pretend Your A Tripadvisor Bed Tester And Score A Discount Deal?
THIS isn't, perhaps, entirely the wisest public complaint that a restauranteur or hotelier has ever made. The whine is that people are turning up and insisting that they're very important reviewers on Tripadvisor. Therefore, give me a deal:
Hotels and restaurants are being targeted by 'blackmailers' who demand free meals and stays in exchange for not writing bad reviews on TripAdvisor, hospitality chiefs have warned.
The fraudsters are telling staff they will post bad comments on the review site if they don't get better service, free food or upgrades.
Restaurant, hotel and B&B owners across the UK have reported a huge rise in the number of customers who use TripAdvisor as a threat.

How Excellent: The NHS To Start Charging For Doctor's Appointments
THIS is going to cause an awful lot of shouting around and about the place but it's also an excellent idea. That the NHS should start charging people when they make a doctor's appointment. The shouting will come from those who insist that the NHS must be free at the point of use. The excellent part comes from the way in which the NHS should not be free at the point of use.
Here's the report:
GPs are to hold a vote on charging for appointments.
The idea is to deter patients from missing consultations – a problem that costs £160million a year. The fees – possibly between £10 and £25 – would be the first since the NHS was founded in 1948.
One GP said an entire morning's work was lost when 14 patients failed to turn up. Others believe the free care offered by the Health Service is unsustainable in the face of an aging and increasingly obese population.
It is feared however that charging would stop patients seeking help or encourage them to go to overstretched casualty units.
The proposal is to be debated at the British Medical Association's local medical committee conference in York on May 22.

Saving AstraZeneca From The Filthy Foreigners Only Keep The Toffs Rich And Happy
YOU may have noticed in all this talk about whether Pfizer should be allowed to buy AstraZeneca a certain amount of economic nationalism going on. You know, It's ours, British, don't let the bastard foreigners have it? That this isn't in fact true, it's not British, is obvious, as the Institute of Directors has pointed out:
"It is misleading to present AstraZeneca as some kind of UK national champion. The company is a truly multinational enterprise that was created through the earlier mergers of UK, Swedish and American companies. The majority of its employees are based outside Europe and its shareholders are overwhelmingly foreign institutional investors. It is run by a Frenchman and chaired by a Swede. It is a multinational company active in a global economy."

Why The Hell Do We Have Markets Now In The NHS?
A NOT uncommon question: why the hell do we have markets now in the NHS? Given that everything is being paid for by the taxpayer, shouldn't we have the politicians, those representatives of the taxpayer, organising and running the NHS? Why should we let some private firm come in and skim some profit out of such a vital national resource?
The answer comes from something very few understand. Here's a complaint about how much money the NHS needs as against how much it is getting:
The insatiable growth of the NHS's demands for cash have never been more graphically illustrated than under the present government. Though "ringfenced" from the coalition's spending cuts, the NHS is widely believed to be deteriorating to the point of collapse because it needs an annual budget increase of at least 4% (in real terms) to meet rising expectations. It probably needs more, as cuts in care services put extra burdens on GPs and hospitals.

Sell Twitter Or Else! Says Daily Telegraph
IN what might not be the very best share tipping column ever the Daily Telegraph is telling us all that we should unload our Twitter shares immediately. This isn't sensible advice: or rather, it might be but it isn't for the reasons they're giving. Which is that the lock in is about to end and thus lots of people might start selling their stock:
Twitter investors should sell shares now as a clause that prevented the majority of shares being sold is about to expire next Monday, May 5. This could cause another sharp fall in the share price as a flood of shares comes to the market from employees looking to bank gains.
When twitter floated last November it offered 70m shares for trading on the US stock markets. However, there are 589.5m shares in existence today but holders of those shares have their hands tied by a "lock-up" clause that prevented them from being sold for 180 days from the November 6.

Punks and Money: Pete Doherty Talks About Filthy Lucre
PUNKS and money have always been a funny thing, mainly because the entire foundation for punk is to not give two hoots about cash. They mean it, maaan. Anti-establishment, lone wolf rock music, that does things on its own terms without caring about what the SUITS think.
Right on! And all that.
Of course, all punks soon get tired of being poor and living grottily, which prompts them to say everything was just one big Art Jape. Look at John Lydon – poster boy for punk, later, advertisements for butter and appearing on reality TV shows in the jungle. Har de har har, all that stuff about being real? It was a joke wasn't it? And all the reunion tours and reissues of our old records? Yeah, when we said 'no future', it was supposed to be funny! This was always likely to end up being our pensions! Hark! We even say 'we're only in it for the money!' and talk about 'filthy lucre'!

Duke of Westminster Sells Expensive Houses to Build Cheap Houses
WE all know that the London high end property market is out of control as all those rich bastards from other countries pile in to buy themselves a Mayfair mansion. And we all also know that there's a terrible shortage of housing in London that normal people can actually afford to live in. Which makes it interesting what the Duke of Westminster is doing: flogging off some of those expensive Mayfair houses to rich foreign sods and then using the cash to build affordable housing that normal Londoners can actually afford to live in:
The property company owned by the Duke of Westminster has sold off £240million of luxury homes in central London amid fears the capital's house price bubble may be about the burst.
Grosvenor Group said it was cutting its exposure to high-end residential properties after growing concerned that the rate of growth in the London luxury house price market was unsustainable.

Donald Sterling Is Blackballed From Basketball For Being A Private Racist
IT has to be said that Donald Sterling, the owner of the Clippers basketball team, doesn't sound like the very brightest of bunnies. He's a billionaire, self-made, so obviously he has some brains. But if you had fairly racist views would you really go into a business where you're going to end up paying black men tens of millions of dollars a year? Which is pretty much that the owner of a basketball team in the US NBA does end up doing.

A new era at Old Trafford really does need a completely fresh start, and that may have contributed to the club's 2013/14 home kit. The Red Devils' effort is emblazoned with new sponsor, Chevrolet, and comes complete with nice detailing on the sleeve and smart button-up collar. Slick stuff, even Wayne Rooney may look dapper in this!

Hi there. I have the good old problem with broken Devanagari, if the text is justified. I know that it would help to make it left, not justified, but I don't want that and still the title appears broken.
Heres the link to an example:
The long link is also a problem, too.
I'm using currently FireFox 22.214.171.124. Strange thing is, that Opera 8.51 shows all correct and nice (by the way: the opera link to the example above looks like this: http://www.babbylon.de/wp/2006/03/26/यह-आख़िर-हिन्दी-हैं।/). Don't know how about the newest IE, but an older Version I have has still some problems.
Anybody help? I want to let it look nice on all browsers

Pictures: Namitha - The Indian Beauty
Offers to act in films may not be coming to Namitha to much extent but the glamorous actress continues to be in limelight for one or the other reason. Well, the actress, who is one of the most searched South actress on search engines, has now hit the headlines that could put her on top of the list of beautiful Indian actress.
Well, believe it or not, Namitha has been declared as the most beautiful women in India by a Japanese television channel. The channel has created a list of beautiful actress from all across the world, and Namitha is considered as the 'Indian beauty'. A portrait of the actress taken by photographer Karthik Srinivasan has found a place in a Japanese television show titled 'Yari-sugi ko-ji Urban Legends Special'. It will be aired on Tokyo Television today (November 2).
"The program basically introduces interesting facts from countries around the world and on this episode they are introducing different types of beautiful girls in different countries and how a each perspective of "Beauty" is different depending on their culture. Tokyo TV company has selected the portrait shot by me of Namitha," writes Karthik Srinivasan.

Black Ops 2 developer says that they've tried to predict the near-future of warfare
- From: news.com.au
- November 02, 2012
FOR a long time, games studio Treyarch had been making World War Two games under the Call of Duty banner, while fellow Activision stablemate Infinity Ward were having all the fun (and glory) with their Modern Warfare version of the franchise.
But Call of Duty: Black Ops took Treyarch's version of the series into a new era – with a conspiracy-heavy plot that revolved around 'deniable operations' in the Cold War, starring major Hollywood actors like Sam Worthington, Ed Harris and Gary Oldman.
The next instalment, Black Ops 2, is just as much of a jump – most of the game takes place in 2025.
In the past, Treyarch have been able to meticulously research the weapons, environments and politics of the wars that they're putting players into. But how does a developer go about researching the wars of the future?
"We met a gentleman named Peter Warren Singer, who is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington D.C - he's an expert in drone warfare and advanced robotics, and it also so happens that he advises political leaders on long-range policy planning issues," says John Rafacz, Treyarch's director of communications, in an interview with News.com.au.
"His point of view was really invaluable when it came to creating this plausible, fictional world.
"What was interesting about our work with Singer was that when we went to him at first, it was really more about technology and weapons, and he really helped us understand the direction of warfare, and what that would look like.
"But then, we started to realise when we were talking to him, that he had some points of view and information that could really help us to understand what the geo-political landscape will look like.
"When you go back to the first Cold War, there are these issues playing out on the world stage – there's this superpower struggle between the US and the Soviet Union, there's tension over petroleum.
Rafacz says that a major discovery for the team was that the scarcity of rare earth elements, such as Scandium and Dysprosium, could be a major cause of future conflicts.
"When we talked to Singer, we found that a plausible tension for 2025 is the struggle over rare earth elements.
"Rare earth elements are critical ingredients to all of our daily lives, whether we know it or not. Each one of us has a smart phone, an iPad or a laptop. Rare earth elements are critical ingredients in all of those things.
"It also happens that they're critical ingredients in things like stealth technology, and a lot of the weapons that are being prototyped now.
"That's a tension that kind of takes place in the background of the game, but what happens in the foreground is, because these ingredients are so integral to the technologies upon which near future militaries rely, we have a villain named Raoul Menendez, who hatches a plan to hijack that military infrastructure, and turn all of those strengths against us.
Surprisingly, Rafacz says that often times the experts told them that their outlandish ideas weren't quite outlandish enough.
"We asked Peter Singer – we laid out the blue-prints on the table and said 'here's what we're thinking. Are we going too far with this?'
"And to our surprise, often times he told us that we weren't going far enough.
"Everything in the game... there may be some creative license that we take with ideas. But everything that you see in the game is either in use, or has been prototyped, or is kind of out there in the world in some way, shape or form."
The first Black Ops game's storyline and performance were generally well-received by critics, but many took issue with a perceived lack of interactivity. Put simply, people didn't feel like their actions had any real impact on the gameplay. One YouTube video even shows a player running forwards through a level for 15 minutes without firing a single shot.
But Rafacz says that they've done their best to address the criticisms.
"A lot of people have their own opinions, and there are tools like Twitter which allow everyone to share those opinions with you.
"There's a real art to listening, and if you understand how to listen and develop a thick skin, and you wade into the waters of the Twittersphere, there's a lot to be learned about what people are really asking for.
He says that Black Ops 2's 'Strike Force' levels are part of that – they're all about giving players the choice and impact over the game's outcomes that they've been wanting.
"Strike Force levels aren't even new to Black Ops, they're new to Call of Duty. At several points throughout the single-player campaign, the head of Special Operations will come to you and inform you that there's this flashpoint, this conflict happening somewhere in the world, and you're being called upon to achieve an objective.
"This is where we take the player off of a linear story-telling progression, and drop them into a sandbox. But we do it in a way that still has meaning to the outcome of the story.
"When you're inserted into the action, there are objectives that you must achieve. But we give the player the control to take control of any one of their squad members, to take control of any one of the advanced robotics or drones, or even go into an overwatch mode and set waypoints and issue commands to the other members of the squad.
"You can succeed, or fail at one of these 'Strike Force' levels, and that's one of the interesting things here.
"In the linear campaign, if you fail, you just go back to the checkpoint and try again, and make it through.
"But with the Strike Force levels, if you play through the game and succeed at all of yours, and I play through the game and fail at all of mine, the fiction that wraps the ending of your story is going to be a little different than mine.
"When you combine that with a couple of key decisions that we're asking players to make throughout the single-player campaign, it's entirely possible that there are characters that might live in your ending, that might not make it into mine.
"There's this idea that outcomes can be different, which is unique for Call of Duty."
But Black Ops 2 is still a Call of Duty game. Rafacz says that they're certainly not straying into the realms of high science-fiction.
"A Call of Duty game is not laser beams and aliens – it was very important to us to retain that feel.
"In doing so, we kind of stuck with these projectile-based weapons instead of energy-based weapons – we're not pulling a Star Wars here.
"But the projectile-based weapons are very much rooted in things that players find familiar.
"Once we had that grounding, we were able to look at prototypes as well as existing weapons. There are weapons that are out there, like the 50. Calibre machine gun, that have been around since like 1918, that are still in use today.
"There are certain technologies that weave through history that we've been able to incorporate to retain that Call of Duty feel."
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 will be available for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC on the 13th of November, 2012.

Call centers and the technology that drives them have come a long way in the 20-some years since I explored inbound/outbound telesales as a career option. According to Jeff Furst, president and CEO of Furst Person, a Chicago-based call center workforce organization that recruits, hires, trains, and manages all aspects of call center personnel and operations for large corporations, technology in call centers is drawing the global economy closer to home. "The reality is that there are more call center jobs than there are qualified and available applicants in the United States," he explains. "Technology and the infrastructures necessary to support call center demands have changed dramatically over the past decade. As these infrastructures and communications systems have become more sophisticated, so too has the demand of corporations to hire and retain a higher-caliber workforce."
In a market already pressed to fill the growing demand for call center services, technology allows corporations to look outside of traditional borders at qualified applicants.
"As an example, India projects to add 3 million call center jobs over the next five to 10 years," explains Furst. "[The country] has an extremely well-educated workforce that is working at a fraction of wages that we have here, and the transport pipe – the cost of moving that call back and forth across the ocean – is so low that once you drop the pipe your cost per call is very reasonable. It becomes less of an inhibitor.
"The split will come into play between those companies that are cost-driven vs. those that are profit-driven. A cost-driven company probably won't be able to attract the kind of person needed to handle its calls in the U.S. market and will be forced to go offshore to the Philippines, India, Mexico, or somewhere else, or they will go out of business. Those that do survive and grow will rely heavily on the recruiting, screening, and training of qualified applicants. We'll then see an increase in wages from about $12/hour now to about $15/hour. Those jobs have much more appeal to that level of trainable workforce."
Either way, technology affects the way these companies will operate.
Furst adds that he sees a change in the workforce based on demographics for those individuals who choose to work either part-time hours or from the comfort and convenience of their homes. "There is a percentage of the workforce that would prefer to work a flexible part-time job. It's, perhaps, a situation where they can work only three or four hours a day at odd hours. Technology will allow these people to dial into these call centers and access the network system in the same way that they would [when] physically sitting in a cubicle at a call center location," he says. This type of dial-up system allows the company to log the hours that each outside employee works, as well as other critical information concerning number and length of calls, success rates, and more.
One of the first full-time jobs that I applied for as a young adult was as an outbound telemarketer. I was denied the position as my personality profile indicated that I was much too nice to withstand the daily grind of rejection that came with the job. I'm a few years older and tougher now, and – hopefully – at least a little wiser for the wear and tear.
In hindsight, I think that the work environment at the time would have caused me more collateral damage than the job itself. I think I'll keep my day job.

I am a very strong black independent woman who loves doing. I am now learning that I should spend some time being instead of doing. I have a hunger for God and I know Him in scriptures and in my head but I struggle to know Him in my heart. I do spend time in His Word and I am so looking forward to a new me in HIM, Christ Jesus. I am not perfect and I have made some wrong choices but today I am more confident than ever that I shall continue to grown in the grace of God.

Our rocky road is packed with twists on the original. They look great and taste even better!
melt the white chocolate in a bowl over a pan of gently simmering water, stirring every 30 seconds.
bash the shortbread biscuits up into smaller chunks. dump the shortbread pieces into a bowl with the pistachio nuts, marshmallows, blueberries and cherries.
pour the melted chocolate over the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
line a baking tray with clingfilm. spread the mixture evenly onto the lined baking tray so that it's a least 5cm deep. fold over the clingfilm onto the top and compress well.
chill the mixture in the fridge until set hard. cut into bite-sized pieces.
share with friends. makes 16 pieces
White chocolate makes everything better. Pistachios and cranberries are super healthy. Coconut biscuits and rice crispies make me feel young. I've found the recipe for happiness.
Similar to Rocky Road, this recipe gives a new twist to regular chocolate bars, whilst also being delicious. They are completely customisable to your tastes so feel free to experiment with any kind of chocolate, chocolate bar, nut, maybe even dried fruit! :) ENJOY!

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) - An inversion is not letting air out of the Grand Valley and could cause air quality to reach dangerous levels if it doesn't leave soon.
The inversion has been in place for nine days, causing the worst air quality the county has seen all winter.
If the inversion doesn't lift soon, the Mesa County Health Department may have to issue an advisory of moderate levels.
Officials at the Health Department say people sensitive to the air may need to be cautious. That category could include the elderly, young children, asthmatics, and those with lung diseases.
11 News will keep you posted if the Health Department issues an advisory.

After the work was completed I went home, and endured pain from the crown she had put in. It was jabbing my gum, but I thought that it would stop hurting after a while (which it did). I was sooo glad that these people were out of my mouth, and even though I had problems with the work, vowed not to return there.
Finally I got Dental Insurance through my job, and went to another dentist in Hayward California. To my horror they told me that I had to have everything redone, that WD had done, not even a year ago. Since there is a deductible, i will have to pay over $6000.00 to have the work redone. Not to mention that I have already gone through pain and suffering with WD. They also mentioned that there is an infection under the crown, which is affecting my lower left jaw. Also the fillings she put in all hve decay under them, and I may lose more teeth.
So to say the least I am upset with WD, and their shoddy work. I am also upset with the State of California for allowing them to continue practicing here. BTW when I tried to look up my Dentist on the State Licensing Board, she was not there. They have given me the run-around since I contacted them about my complaint. I have not been able to get anyone on the Corporate site.

Ethnic Woman Daguerreotype - Fancy Dress & Head Gear - Stern Lady
A 6th plate measures 3.25" x 2.75"
The outfit is fabulous, the face not so much. Could she be Austrian? I recall seeing this type of head dress on prints of Austrian ladies of this era but I could be wrong. Does anyone know & could tell us? The dress must have taken eons of time to stitch. I fits the the the lady's perfect figure like a glove. She has seen some hardship, just look at the bags under her eyes. The spit curls don't quite soften her expression.
The dag is American, it comes in a common half case. It was resealed a few years ago by a professional. Beautiful contrast and sharp focus.

A win's a win
Thanks Rambr0. Am seriously pi$$ed off I couldn't watch it on the box - bl00dy Setanta. It's bad enough I have to pay for Sky to watch a lot of footie, but this is one too much for me. Still, money talks in today's game and tough luck to those of us who can't afford it/won't pay the exhorbitant prices. OK, rant over.
I still reckon JR is a fair way from finding the right team to take us forward, and shame Modric was injured so early on in the AV match on Monday. Hopefully he'll be fit sooner rather than later, ditto Hutton although I believe that's a longer term injury. So far so good with Woody though - long may that continue, and glad he kept the captain's armband on JJ's arrival - if you've got it to start with no point in giving it up unless you're subbed is my view.
I saw a load of noisy Rizla supporters in Trafalgar Square on my way to work yesterday afternoon (foreign fans whose teams are playing London clubs usually congregate there or around Eros at Piccadilly Circus so I can't avoid them) - shame I didn't have any Spurs kit with me or I'd have given them a run for their money :-)
Am hoping we do well v Wigan on Sunday, and have to say that on his form so far this season I don't reckon Heskey would have been a bad buy for us. Too late now, so hope that between them Bent, Pav and Campbell come up with the goods.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Sorry you didn't get to see the game Kentish - I live in Oregon and got to watch it live over here. I've also tried out the following link and have been able to watch live Spurs games that are not broadcast on the telly over here on the net - for free:
I'm sure you would be able to access them over in the UK and the quality was pretty good. You do have to download some software - but it all seemed quite clean to me.

Radiohead Debuts Single "Harry Patch" In Memory of English Soldier's Death
This morning, Radiohead continued their mission to release music directly to the public with a new song download called "Harry Patch (In Memory of)." The song is a tribute to Mr. Patch, who died on the 25th of July at the age of 111. He was the last surviving English soldier to have fought in World War I.
The song features a subtle, oceanic, string arrangement accented by lead singer Thom Yorke¹s vocals coming in from on high. The tribute includes excerpts from Patch¹s interviews, including the anti-war broadside: "Give your leaders each a gun and then let them fight it out themselves."
Mr. Patch had refused to talk about his war experience for most of his life, but after 80 years, he changed his mind and gave an emotional interview to the BBC as part of a radio documentary. As Yorke writes on the Radiohead Web site, elements of the interview resonated with him, and the band began working on the song a few weeks before Mr. Patch passed away.
The song, which is available for 1£ ($1.69 USD) on the Radiohead Web site, falls firmly into the meditative species of songs in the British band¹s catalog. It includes none of the percussive, rock or electronic elements of the recent albums, but it does feature signature Radiohead elements, including an unsettling, open-ended conclusion. The song premiered this morning on BBC¹s Radio 4, and can be heard for free online. Proceeds of the song will go to benefit the British Legion.
